"Your Majesty, Helian proposed to select a few people from among the female dependents present to represent Tiansheng, Xiyue and Daliang respectively, and let them compete in various talents." Helian Zheng was not humble and his words were conclusive.

"In every competition, those who win will naturally be rewarded, and those who lose will naturally be punished. But today is the emperor's birthday, let's just want to be festive and lively, so we don't punish anything else, just punish them for offering a birthday poem to the emperor, and then punish drinking. ”

"Regarding the issue of rewards, because Helian also made an impromptu rise and did not prepare in advance, the emperor and all the ministers and ladies present can discuss and see what they want to use as prizes."

"Hey, that's a good idea, it's much more exciting than just appreciating singing and dancing." There are Tiansheng officials' eyebrows fluttering, and their faces are full of interest.

"However, will there be something wrong with this participant representing Tiansheng, Xiyue and Daliang?" Some officials were skeptical, "If the person who competed lost, wouldn't it mean that Tiansheng also lost?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! This is not appropriate, even if they want to compete, it should mean that they are individuals. ”

"If you want me to say ......"

The ministers at the adjacent table all discussed in whispers, and although Gong Xiaotian couldn't hear what they were talking about, he also knew that they were very interested in such a competition.

His gaze drifted to the palace night not far away, and Gong Xiaotian asked, "Prince, what do you think of the proposal of the six princes?" ”

"Back to his father's words, Erchen thinks it is feasible. As for the reward, I don't think it would be better for me, the prime minister, the six princes, and the prince of Daliang to donate some items. You may not have anything with you when you enter the palace, but you can register what you plan to donate and send it to the ladies who won the contest afterwards. ”

After Gong Mingye finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhuge Wuwei in the audience, "I don't know what the prime minister thinks, but I agree with the proposal of this palace?" ”

Zhuge Wuwei had long found that he had been watching every move of himself and the people around him, but he didn't care, and when he looked up at him, his face was elegant and his eyes were light, and he was very cold.

"The prime minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's proposal is good, but although the prime minister is in a high position, he has always been honest and honest, and his family background is really not rich enough, so the prime minister may not have any good things to contribute, at most he will donate some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the like, don't dislike it."

Zhuge Wuwei's voice was slow like a trickle, and anyone couldn't help but nod their heads to believe that what he said was true, and many officials even thought in their hearts, Su asked the prime minister to be honest and honest, and he had never seen him have close contacts with any officials.

It's just that with their heads nodding, everyone stopped nodding almost at the same moment, and their minds flashed in their minds about what Princess Jiayi said just now.

Smoke and blue brocade is a horse of gold, he can spend thousands of dollars to buy clothes for Bai Mulan, how can he be a poor egg? Should this person not only be generous to his own woman, but also start pretending to be poor in front of others?

Everyone smoked and smoked in their hearts, and they were very speechless about the Prime Minister's pretending to be poor, but they didn't dare to question him about the matter of Yan Cui and Lan Jin, so they could only muttered in their hearts, the Prime Minister was too fake, he was really stingy, no matter how he said that there were envoys from the two countries present tonight, he would not damage the face of Tiansheng officials like this.

Everyone didn't dare, but Gong Yingye was extremely daring.

Glancing at Bai Mulan, Gong Ming said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone seem to be too shabby, and the people gathered here today are all famous daughters, and there must be no shortage of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones at home." The prime minister said that he didn't have much money, but from the palace, what Miss Mulan was wearing seemed to be a smoky blue brocade, worth 10,000 gold.

The palace now does not need the Prime Minister to come up with another set of dresses made of smoke and blue brocade, nor does it need the Prime Minister to take out 10,000 taels of gold as a prize, but in any case, the things donated by the Prime Minister should not be too shabby, and the Prime Minister must be able to take out a few pieces of objects like gold, silver and jade. ”

When the words fell, the Taihe Hall was almost dead silent, Zhuge Wuwei still had a faint expression, his eyes were clear, but his eyes were obviously a little colder.

Gong Mingye's face met his gaze without changing his face, and there was no tendency to back down.

The two looked at each other so silently, fighting fiercely in the calm and calm, setting off layers of huge waves and shaking the mountains and earth, and no one refused to back down half a step.

The officials in the hall held their breath, lest the sound of their breathing be too heavy to disturb the two people who were facing each other, and accidentally sow trouble for themselves.

The eighth princess, who was dancing, couldn't help but stop when she realized that something was wrong, and stood in the center of the hall at a loss, and those court musicians, the movements of striking the bell chime became lighter and lighter, and they simply stopped at the end, and there were layers of cold sweat on their foreheads.

The air pressure in the Taihe Hall was very low and deep, but with his own son out of the horse, Gong Xiaotian did not plan to interfere.

What he thought was that he was old and couldn't hold the power for many years, and all of this would have to be handed over to Gong Yingye sooner or later, and Gong Mingye and Zhuge Wuwei were estranged, and now was the time for the two of them to slowly run in.

The low pressure had no effect on Helian Zheng and Huangfu Shenghua, and the two of them were as comfortable as just now. The two of them have a tacit understanding at the moment, each tasting the wine in front of them, and no one has any intention of interfering.

Yun Jinghua was also very comfortable, moving the chopsticks elegantly like a person who had nothing to do, and there were all kinds of eyes with different meanings floating towards her around her, and this kind of gaze gathered more and more, and became more and more unkind so that it affected her appetite a little, she slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked up at the people on the high platform.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." When she spoke, the whole hall was stunned, staring at her face for a moment. "There is one thing Mulan has to clarify to you, this smoky and blue brocade was not bought by the Prime Minister, but by Mulan herself, and the Prime Minister just borrowed his horse from his subordinates and gave it to Mulan to use."

Some people sighed, obviously not believing that she was a woman in a green house, and she had only appeared in Yunshang Pavilion for a few days, and she would have so many family properties to buy smoke and blue brocade.

She was not affected by those people in the slightest, and continued: "As far as Mulan knows, the Prime Minister is indeed very poor, I'm afraid that without the donation of gold, silver and jade as you said, it will not be easy for him to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”

The room filled the room with a breath, hard to believe that what she said was true.

Aoba also inhaled, and her internal organs were twitching.

When did these two people get together so well, and they actually acted together, sang and harmonized together?

He glanced at the people in the hall who were like eating flies, and thought to himself, master, can we change to another drama next time? This pretending to be poor seems to be really inferior, and people don't believe it at all.
