Chapter 290: Contestants
"The minions all told the princess, but the princess didn't say anything after hearing it."
Gao Shang looked at the prince carefully, Zhou Yun lowered his head and reviewed the folds, "Got it, you go down." ”
Gao Shang out of the Chongwen Hall of the prince's office, he saw Liu Hai coming over, Liu Hai looked at him with a gloomy smile, Gao Shang smiled and nodded, and walked away, Liu Hai looked at his back and felt weak, his legs were a little floating, he was cautious all his life, and he also accumulated some silver, he was reluctant to let Mama Yu die, rescued her, a few days after the good thing, Mama Yu suddenly disappeared, and Liu Hai had a bad feeling in his heart.
He is still the chief manager of the East Palace, but he knows that the scenery he once had is gone, and the little eunuch on duty in the prince's palace is newly promoted, and there is no henchman in him, and his chief manager is hollowed out.
He has to plan for the back road, how can he be a eunuch with any good way out.
Zhou Yun put down the music in his hand and sighed helplessly, pinched the bridge of his nose, Qin'er was close at hand, but he didn't look at her, what else could he say when he saw her, he was acting, why wasn't Qin'er, he was a little helpless trapped in this deep palace.
Master Chen came over to teach him to read again, and Zhou Yun restrained his mind and greeted with a smile.
Zhou Yun is the best student, Chen Zhizhong is the best gentleman, Chen Zhizhong is highly respected among the civil ministers, with his support is equivalent to owning half of the country, they all say that the imperial power is like a mountain, these huge civil official systems are like the vast ocean, Chen Zhizhong is the first assistant of the court, he can only respect him.
Chen Zhizhong is very satisfied, and the prince is smart and studious. He spared no effort to teach the prince.
An hour passed quickly, Chen Zhizhong was a little tired, the years are not forgiving, Zhou Yun added tea with his own hands, and took out snacks to entertain, "Mr. rest for a while, the students still have something to ask for advice." ”
Zhou Yun is gentle and humble, Mr. Chen considers himself a student when he teaches, and he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court.
"The student has been studying with my husband for two years, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. The imperial examination questions have also been done. So in Mr.'s opinion, if a student gets out of the examination room, what ranking can he get? ”
Chen Zhizhong's gray beard curled up and said with a smile. "The crown prince is the prince. How can you get out of the exam room? ”
"The students have been learning for so long. Students want to know if they can compare to the world's other people. ”
"Your Highness, forgive the old minister." Chen Zhizhong said with a smile, "Your Highness reads hard. is also smart, but it's a pity that His Royal Highness has a bad foundation, and the slightly obscure allusions can't be familiar with the heart, which is all because His Royal Highness refused to read good books well in his early years, if His Royal Highness wants the title of the gold list, he has to hone for a few more years, hehe, His Royal Highness said what to do, take the imperial examination, select virtuous people as officials, His Royal Highness's responsibility is the country's society, and he is entangled in competing with the world's sons, but he has fallen into success. ”
"The student has been studying for a few years, and according to Mr. So, the student is only afraid that he will lose his name."
Chen Zhizhong smiled and shook his head, "Your Highness has just been reading for a few years, it's not that the old man relies on the old man to sell the old, Father Shang's education of His Royal Highness is too poor, His Royal Highness is so smart, if he worshiped a famous teacher in his early years, why not, the old minister heard that His Royal Highness's former husband was just a down-to-earth man, and it is no wonder that His Royal Highness's foundation is weak." ”
Zhou Yun was a little embarrassed, "Father Shang often disciplined him, but it's a pity that the student was greedy for fun when he was a child, and he lived up to Father Shang's hard work." ”
"This is Shang's father's fault." Chen Zhizhong said lightly, "Your Highness is greedy for fun, which child is not greedy for play, Shang's father was negligent in discipline and guidance, and His Royal Highness was barren in his studies, but fortunately, His Highness is still willing to work hard and listen to advice." ”
Zhou Yun nodded yes, "Mr.'s teachings are all in mind. ”
Chen Zhizhong pointed out two more sentences of political affairs, and then said goodbye, Zhou Hanxiao sent to the door, looking at the back of Lord Chen, there was a mocking smile in his eyes, he just made a start, Chen Zhizhong really blamed Shang's father.
A few words that are not painful or itchy will be remembered in his heart after listening to a lot, and if he has grievances, these words will take root.
Who in this world is not selfish, Shang's father also has a small abacus in his heart, Zhou Yun said with his conscience, Li Mingwei still spent effort on him, he was not willing to study hard in the early years, Zhou Yun has always thought that learning is put into practice, remember those obscure allusions, what is the use of Haoshou poor scriptures, he has not spent that idle effort, useless is a scholar.
In the past two years, Chen Zhizhong has been forced into the sea of books, which can be regarded as some gains.
The little eunuch came over to ask for instructions, "Prince, it's time to eat, where is it today?" ”
"Tell the crown princess to go, and go over alone."
Zhou Yun threw away the sage book, and a little eunuch came over to help put on a mink coat, and Zhou Yun did not summon a warm sedan chair, and walked to the palace of the princess with people, the princess received the message, thought about it and smiled, "Please Feng Concubine, Cui Concubine, Wang Zhaoyi and they come over, as well as Hongxia and Zixia, and they are also here." ”
The crown princess ordered to go down, and after a while, the warbler and the swallow were in a room.
Zhou Yun was like the radiant sun, there were some sunflowers in the room, and the crown princess looked at him with a smile.
The crown princess bowed, and Zhou Yun took her hand and said with a smile, "Concubine Ai is exempt." ”
Relying on the wide sleeves and scratching in her palm, the crown princess twisted it back fiercely, with a sweet smile on her face, "All the sisters are here today, you serve the prince well and make the prince happy." ”
Zhou Yun said with a smile, "Concubine Ai is virtuous and considerate, and I am happy in my heart, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and Concubine Ai has arranged it?" ”
"The queen mother ordered someone to arrange it, and Father-in-law He personally went to check everywhere, there is nothing inappropriate, and there are many new lanterns this year, all of which are Feng Concubine's ideas, and the queen mother also praised Feng Concubine's intelligence."
The crown princess said with a smile, and Zhou Yun looked at Feng Concubine and smiled.
A feast was set up in the Furong Palace, the prince and the princess sat in the first seat, Feng Concubine, Cui Concubine, and Wang Zhaoyi lined up in turn, and the next one was Hongxia and Wu Jiangxian, and behind were the four Zixia, Zhou Yun had never seen it, and smiled at it, it was really the old lady's beauty pageant style, all of them were beauties with apricot faces and peach cheeks.
Jiang Xian couldn't help it, and brought a glass of wine, "The slave thought about it day and night, and finally saw the prince, the prince drank the wine in the slave's hand, and the slave's heart was sweeter than eating honey." ”
Zhou Yun stretched out his hand to take the wine glass and said with a smile, "Lone doesn't allow you to eat honey, Lone lets you eat wine." ”
Zhou Yun handed the glass of wine to Jiangxian's lips and fed her to drink, Jiangxian had no choice but to drink it, recalling the temperature of the prince's hand, his face was flushed, Wang Zhaoyi's face next to her turned a little pale, she was in a hurry, the prince gave him a chance, she didn't take the rain and dew, she didn't want to be robbed by Wu Jiangxian.
Wang Zhaoyi also came over to toast, and the smile on Zhou Yun's face faded a little, "Lone will have official business for a while, and Jiangxian will drink it for Lone." ”
The crown princess smiled faintly and gave the prince a dish, and Zhou Han laughed and ate it.
Wu Jiangxian almost didn't eat a bite, looking at the prince stupidly, she couldn't wait to snatch the princess's chopsticks, how good would it be if she gave the prince a dish, Wu Jiangxian didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and when she was favored, she glared at Wang Zhaoyi with hatred when she thought of this, where can this woman compare to her beauty.
Zhou Yun ate happily at this meal, "There are more than 100 beauties in Lone who haven't seen it yet." ”
The crown princess smiled, "I should have been more relaxed in the first month, why don't you see the prince today?" If there are those who have the eyes of the prince, it is also their creation to give birth to a boy and half a girl, and we have more sisters. ”
"The crown princess is virtuous, but Lone is a little worried, and I don't know what these beauties look like, if you don't like it, and then let them go back, Lone will be disappointed, isn't it? Lonely has an idea, choose first, send them away if you don't agree, and be a sister with you if you agree. ”
Where would the crown princess say badly, it was Wu Jiangxian and Wang Zhaoyi, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Feng Concubine was young, so she just smiled and watched the excitement, and Cui Concubine concentrated on eating.
The prince is really a loser, a good screen poked a hole, he just sat in the back, ordered the beauties to rush in, put his hand in, the prince beauty pageant first look at the hand, "wrist white skin red jade shoots bud", no matter how beautiful the beauty is, there is no pair of Qianqian jade hands are also discounted, and the prince has no appetite to look at.
A few Zixia curtains also had to stand in line with those beauties, waiting for the prince to appreciate them.
These beauties are busy grooming a face, I didn't expect the prince to look at his hands, but also to have white wrists, ten fingertips, this is a little difficult, most of the little girls' hands are delicate, but that kind of snow-white skin is not everyone can have, the first hand stretched out over the screen, there is some thin sweat on the palm, nervously curled up, and the nails are red and gorgeous.
Zhou Yun took the jade Ruyi and smiled, "The skin is too yellow and not delicate enough." ”
Another hand trembled and stretched out, and Zhou Yun appreciated it again, "This hand is too big." ”
"This hand has bone joints, and it is lonely to have a hand like a thin round and knotted jade."
"The jade palm is warm, the Qiong branch is tender, so many beauties can't choose a good one, it's really a failure."
Zhou Yun spent half an hour, and more than a hundred beauties appreciated it, along with a few Zixia curtains, Wang Zhaoyi and Wu Jiangxian stood aside, and they all looked at their hands carefully, according to the standards of the prince, their hands are not beautiful.
The crown princess sat aside with a faint expression, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and she didn't know what to think, her hands were snow-white and petite, there were pear vortices on her hands, her fingernails were pink and tender, and she didn't apply cardamom, and the sour water in her heart gurgled out.
"These beauties don't like it, so let's send them everywhere on errands."
Liu Hai is still the chief eunuch, he got this good errand and secretly complained, the palace women have been cultivated since childhood, in order to learn the height of the eyebrows and eyes, and only after the assessment can they afford to be an errand, these beauties have been selected for only half a year, the rules are sparse, where can they afford the heavy responsibility of being an errand.
Concubine Feng persuaded with a smile, "If the prince doesn't like it, why don't you let them go back?" They have been selected by the royal family, and their worth is also high, and they can marry a good family, don't they miss the kindness of the prince? ”
Zhou Yun looked at Feng Concubine, "I didn't expect you to have such a heart at a young age, so I just did what you said." ”
Since then, Zhou Yun has attached more and more importance to Feng Concubine. (To be continued......) R1292
