Chapter 36: Reversal
If he didn't hate her very much, how could he set up such a dangerous situation to lure her into the game.
She has just returned to Beijing not long ago, not to mention making enemies, even if she doesn't know a few people, who is calculating her?
"Please wait for the results." Lile's father-in-law's voice interrupted her thoughts.
After leaving the field, she didn't return to her original seat, Shen Jin took her to find another seat and sit down.
"How's it going?" Shen Jin asked casually, he didn't care much about the result, but he also knew that Shen Nanyan's strength should not be underestimated, that is, the poetry collections she read in the mansion every day also had a lot of books she had read in the past few years, and those noble girls were her opponents.
"I wrote a few random sentences." She really didn't think much of it, and as soon as a thought appeared in her mind, she wrote it down.
Shen Jin didn't ask much in response, and he still had palpitations when he thought of Fang Cai's matter: "We won't come to next year's poetry meeting." It's not that he's afraid, it's just that he can't bear to see his sister being bullied like this, and he's even more afraid of Shen Nanyan's actions today, she was such an indifferent person, but she didn't expect to do something for Mu Zhao today.
"Okay."
Originally, the result should have come out very quickly, but somehow the queen and the jade concubine had a little dispute, and the two argued endlessly, and no one refused to give in, so the result did not come out.
Concubine Yu's voice was not small, and everyone present could hear it: "Miss Shen's poetry is light and elegant, above everyone, the concubine doesn't know if the queen doesn't choose?" ”
The queen looked at Concubine Yu and said with a calm expression: "We must choose the best one from the three of ideas, literary talents, and emotions, and Sister Jade Concubine is afraid that she pays too much attention to literary talents." ”
Concubine Lan was silent and didn't speak, she was not good at poetry in the first place, and the queen and the jade concubine didn't expect her to say anything, and now that it was the game between the queen and the jade concubine, she naturally wouldn't interfere.
"The queen's words are wrong, if you choose according to these three, I'm afraid that the winner shouldn't be the queen's sister, right?" Concubine Yu sarcastically.
It turned out that they were hesitant between Murong Qingyao and Shen Nanyan, Concubine Yu had always been unaccustomed to the queen's mother, so naturally she would not let go of the opportunity to let her take advantage of it alone, since the queen's mother tried her best to choose her sister, then she chose Shen Nanyan to block her heart.
Murong Qingyao? Shen Nanyan's cold face rarely flashed with doubts, isn't this poetry meeting for the princess? The winner should be the princess, why would the queen choose her maiden sister, which caused the jade concubine to compete with herself.
"Concubine Lan, what do you think?" The queen turned her gaze to Concubine Lan, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, and wanted to end the selection as soon as possible.
Everyone in the palace is a human spirit, Concubine Lan is not stupid, she can probably guess the queen's intentions, and when she hesitated to pick up Princess Xile's poem manuscript and speak, Song Heng, who was sitting quietly on the side, said in a deep voice: "Give me a look." ”
Song Heng's words surprised everyone, I thought that it was only the queen and the three of them who were elected, but I didn't expect that now that the emperor has also joined, it is natural that the emperor will be selected.
His eyes swept over the four poems, and he paused and said, "I read Miss Li's poems very well. ”
When Song Heng said that she wanted to read the poem, the queen knew that today's plan would be ruined, but she didn't expect it to be so.
The emperor spoke, and the queen naturally knew what to do, so she picked up Li Zheng's poem with a smile and looked at it, and praised: "Miss Li's poetry palace is also excellent, so the champion of this poetry meeting is Miss Li." ”
After speaking, he turned to Concubine Yu and Concubine Lan: "Do the two sisters have any objections?" ”
Concubine Lan smiled slightly: "Miss Li is indeed good. ”
Concubine Yu realized that she was being used as a target by the queen and calculated, so how could she still be in the mood to care who won, so naturally she answered that it was all up to the queen.
The queen expected that if she heard that the winner was Murong Qingyao, she would definitely not give up, so she deliberately chose Murong Qingyao, so that Concubine Lan could choose the princess directly, so that she would not be too deliberate.
The queen is really good, she just calculated Shen Nanyan before, but now even she dares to calculate.
"The winner of this poetry meeting is Miss Li Zheng."
The result was unexpected, it fell on Li Zheng's head, not to mention that everyone was surprised, even she herself was surprised.
When the phoenix decree rewarded by the queen came down, Li Zheng had not yet recovered from the news, and when the noble girl beside her congratulated her, she was dignified and polite and even said that she was ashamed of it, but the smile could still overflow from her eyebrows.
The results of the poetry meeting had already been released, and Song Heng did not stay here for long, and drove back to the imperial study.
When the queen saw that Song Heng had left not long ago, she said a word to let them have fun and drove back to the palace.
The people in the imperial garden gradually dispersed, and the nobles were preparing to leave the palace one after another.
Shen Jin was about to take Shen Nanyan out of the palace, and Zheng Fuhai, who was beside Song Heng, happened to come to pass the word: "Lord Shen, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study." ”
"I'll go right away." Shen Jin responded, turned to look at Shen Nanyan: "Are you waiting here for me to go back to the house first?" He didn't dare to let Song Heng and his sister meet again, what happened just now made his good impression of Song Heng all consume at once.
"Miss Shen can go to the imperial study with Lord Shen, there is a side hall where Miss can rest." Zheng Fuhai spoke up.
Knowing Zheng Fuhai's intentions, Shen Jin glared at him and then said, "Don't bother Gonggong Zheng. ”
How can he be tired, he doesn't dare to bother the brothers and sisters of the Shen family, one is the emperor's brother who has played since childhood, and the other is the emperor's sweetheart, even if he offends one of them, he can't eat and walk around.
"Then I'll go back to the house first." She didn't want to stay in the palace any longer.
Shen Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and instructed: "Be careful on the road, I'll be back soon." ”
Shen Nanyan nodded in response.
…………
"I don't know what happened to the emperor letting Weichen come to the imperial study?" After Shen Jin finished saluting, he asked respectfully when he saw Song Heng sitting there staring at the things on the desk and did not react.
Although Shen Jin used to get along with Song Heng with caution, his behavior was still a little casual.
Today's salute is not as casual as in the past, but always with a respectful attitude.
Song Heng was not stupid, he naturally saw Shen Jin's abnormality, raised his eyes to look at Shen Jin, and his voice was neither light nor heavy: "Ah Jin, are you blaming me for not speaking out to defend her today?" ”
Seeing that he was still here and asked knowingly, Shen Jin smiled angrily: "Maybe there can be many people you like in the emperor's opinion, and it doesn't matter if you protect it or not." But in Weichen's opinion, Weichen only has one sister, no matter what, Weichen is trying his best to protect her for the rest of her life. ”
Seeing that Shen Jin misunderstood himself, Song Heng said helplessly: "Ah Jin, she is the only person I like, and she will only be the only one." ”
"That's the emperor's own business, you are the honor of the Ninety-Five, who you like, how many you like is your business."
Hearing him say this, he must not be angry, Song Heng didn't want to explain, picked up the rice paper on the desk and handed it to him.
Shen Jin was slightly stunned, and after a pause, he turned his gaze to the paper, and Juanxiu's elegant handwriting came into view, which was a poem written by his sister.
The jade roll is fragrant and fragrant, and Mei Xiao is fragrant and Jun Xingcai.
Yuan Chongyang Building Shimmer Luo, when and where will someone take care of it?
The rhetoric is gorgeous, the writing is colorful, and the meaning is profound. In addition to the lack of novelty in the concept, this poem is considered a masterpiece.
But what was Song Heng's purpose in asking him to read this poem? Shen Jin looked at Song Heng suspiciously: "I don't know what the emperor means by this?" ”
Song Heng smiled sarcastically: "Could it be that Ah Jin can't see the meaning of the poem?" ”
Although the smile was shallow, it had a slight coolness and irony.
Shen Jin read the poem carefully again, this poem can also produce fragrance after being rolled up with beautiful jade, and the fragrance of plum blossoms can also attract people to discover their beauty, Chongyang Building only has a glimmer of light, I don't know when someone will be willing to patronize.
This poem seems to be writing about beautiful things that no one discovers, but in fact, it is writing about talents that have been buried and have not been reused.
The Shen family was only regained military power, and he was only a five-grade official, could it be that Song Heng thought that his sister wrote this poem to imply that they were so loyal to the Shen family but were afraid of the emperor to regain military power.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers definitely have no intention of mocking the emperor to take back the Shen family's military power, please ask the emperor to be aware of everything." Shen Jincheng was frightened and knelt on the ground and said.
"I wish that was what she meant." Song Heng looked at Shen Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in an unclear tone: "It's a pity that she didn't mean that." ”
That's not what it means, Shen Jin still has the heart to think about what his sister means, he just wants to coax Song Heng well, he wants to slap himself a few times, and when he came in, he was angry with Song Heng, this will be okay Now people put out the emperor's score.
"Please ask the emperor to signal."
"She loves it." This is not a doubtful sentence, but an affirmative sentence. Song Heng said it, and the whole sentence carried an unknown emotion.
Shen Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Song Heng, with thousands of thoughts in his mind, when he returned, when he returned, who did my sister like, but it was you who she liked. It's you, forget it, Song Heng doesn't know yet.
This matter is actually embarrassing, Song Heng likes his sister, his sister likes Mu Guishi, Song Heng and Mu Guishi are brothers, Song Heng is someone else, but he is the emperor, the emperor above 10,000 people, how can anything that the king likes be obtained by the courtiers.
I thought that Song Heng was just saying that his sister liked Mu Guishi, but after thinking about it, he was shocked into a cold sweat, could it be that this poem was fighting for Mu Zhao, saying that he was talented and capable, but he was unknown to the king, so he could only leave Kyoto and go to the border.
Shen Jin was so frightened that the soles of his feet were weak, his sister was really desperate, she dared to make such a poem that made the king jealous at this poetry meeting, and the content was forgotten, but it was written for Mu Zhao, no wonder Song Heng was angry, and he would be angry if it was him.
"The emperor is angry, the courtiers are afraid that it is an unintentional move, she lives in the boudoir, how can she still understand these major events in the court, I am afraid that it is just a random writing for fun. This move is not necessarily about the grievances of the brothers when they return. "What else can I do now, I can only deny it to the end, otherwise the Son of Heaven will be angry and ambush millions of corpses. Although they are like brothers with Song Heng, although they are brothers, they are not brothers, if they really touch Song Heng's interests, he may not let them go.
