Zhao Mingyue has really relaxed a lot since she vomited out a mouthful of blood, and since then she has sealed Ling Kun in her heart and lived a normal life as a princess.

Accompany the Queen Mother to eat and chat every day, go back to the room to read books and copy scriptures, and live a leisurely life.

Zhao Heng didn't worry about his sister, so he always asked the noble concubine Liu E to come to Wan'an Palace every once in a while to chat with Zhao Mingyue, these two people were both ambitious women, and they talked very speculatively.

Everyone was very relieved to see that Zhao Mingyue could come out so quickly. But they are still very worried, because Zhao Mingyue is 20 years old after all, and she will become an old girl if she doesn't marry. Besides, only by marrying someone can Ling Kun be completely erased from the bottom of his heart, otherwise it will still be a trouble after all.

So the queen mother and the emperor scattered people to find sons with outstanding literary talents and prominent family backgrounds to introduce Zhao Mingyue. It's just that Zhao Mingyue can't be interested in this matter at all, and even if she talks too much, she will be very irritable.

In this way, the Queen Mother and Zhao Heng were even more sure that Zhao Mingyue only let go of Ling Kun on the surface, but she still couldn't tolerate others in her heart.

This is not good, absolutely not, there are so many good men in the world, not only Ling Kun. Zhao Heng and Liu E discussed all night to find countermeasures.

Liu E thinks that Zhao Mingyue is not out of the door now, and she doesn't know that there are more good men outside, we should let her see more people, let her make her own comparisons, and make her own choices.

Zhao Heng felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately decided to organize a poetry fighting meeting in the Imperial Garden during the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and called the top three in the new branch and the sons of some famous families in the capital to participate together.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Liu E personally went to Wan'an Palace to invite Zhao Mingyue into the palace for the festival, Zhao Mingyue didn't want to go, but Liu E grinded hard and dragged him into the palace.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden is still very good, Zhao Heng is sitting on the top, Liu E is on the left, and Zhao Mingyue is on the right. There were two rows of low tables below, on which were placed various kinds of fruits, flasks and glasses, and the sons of each family were seated in turn after making a big salute.

Although the emperor deliberately wanted to create an easy-going and relaxed atmosphere, the young people below were not relaxed at all, and they were sweating nervously one by one. Except for the top three in the new department, the rest are all children of the capital family, and they have long known that the purpose of the emperor's move is to choose a son-in-law for the princess.

The emperor attaches so much importance to this princess, if she becomes her concubine, it means that she will ascend to the sky in one step and be a great person

Minister. And they peeked at it, the princess was as beautiful as a fairy, ten times more beautiful than the lady next to her, with this beauty by her side, even if she was not an official, it was worth it.

Zhao Mingyue saw the young man below, and immediately understood the intention of her brother and sister-in-law, and had the intention to leave, but wouldn't this make the imperial brother unable to get off the stage.

Among these people, Zhao Heng is most satisfied with this year's new champion, who can be described as young and promising, talented, no matter how talented he looks, he is no worse than Ling Kun, Mingyue should be able to see it.

Therefore, after Zhao Heng opened, he was the first to ask Zhuang Yuanlang to write a poem first, but at this time, everyone found that Zhuang Yuanlang had shaken into a ball, not to mention writing poems, and even speaking became difficult.

Zhao Hengqi said: "Champion Yuanlang, since you have overcome all the obstacles and passed the test in the scientific examination, why is your psychological quality so bad?" ”

Zhuang Yuanlang trembled and knelt on the ground, trembling and said: "Your Majesty, the crimes of Weichen deserve death, please give the emperor the guilt." ”

Zhao Heng became more and more strange and asked, "What is Aiqing's crime?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't know the princess's golden body before, and offended the princess, please ask the emperor to give him a sin." The champion kowtowed.

"Oh, you know?" Zhao Heng turned his head and asked Zhao Mingyue.

Zhuangyuan lowered his head, Zhao Mingyue couldn't see clearly, so he shook his head at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng said, "You raise your head. ”

The champion raised his head, Zhao Mingyue looked at it, and exclaimed, "Which Yan Shu are you." She suddenly remembered that when she was eating in Xiangyang, this Yan Shu, Cao Shuang and Duan Jinyan all plotted against her, but this Yan Shu was not bad, not as hateful as Cao Shuang.

Yan Shu saw that the princess really remembered, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed: "The princess spares her life, the villain is stupid, she doesn't know the princess, and she deserves death." ”

Zhao Mingyue smiled and said, "Forget it, you get up, this princess has long forgotten about those things." ”

Yan Shu was overjoyed, kowtowed to thank him, and sat back in his place, but he couldn't write a good poem, so he only watched others perform it.

After the poetry meeting, everyone dispersed, Zhao Heng asked Zhao Mingyue how he met Yan Shu, and Zhao Mingyue told him about the day. Zhao Heng sighed: "He played abnormally today because of fear, but in fact, he is very talented." ”

Zhao Mingyue smiled and said, "Third brother, I know this, but I'm not in the mood to think about it now."

, can you give me some more time? ”

"Well, actually, I'm not in a hurry to marry you off, I just want you to meet more people and get out of that incident as soon as possible."

Zhao Mingyue nodded gratefully: "Don't worry, third brother, I'm fine." ”

Yan Shu came out of the palace, stumbling, confused, and walked forward with his head down, he was afraid, regretful, and regretful, which can be described as mixed feelings.

At this moment, he accidentally collided with the person opposite. He quickly stood firm and apologized. However, when I looked up, I saw that it was someone I knew.

"You, aren't you Prince Duan?" Yan Shu was surprised.

"You're not the one Yan?" Duan Jinyan didn't expect that there were still people who knew him in Kaifeng, and if you looked closely, wasn't this the first literati to talk to Zhao Mingyue that day?

"Yan Shu."

"Yes, yes, Yan Shu, you and I are really fateful." Duan Jinyan smiled a little bitterly, he fell in love with Zhao Mingyue at the same time, but they were both people who were not looked at by Zhao Mingyue.

Yan Shu stroked his chest and abdomen, and said in shock: "Prince Duan, do you know who Miss Zhao was that day?" ”

"Hey, I was the last to know that he was the princess of Yan Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty." Duan Jinyan sighed.

"Oh, you know?" Yan Shu said: "No wonder, you are a prince, equal to the status of a princess, unlike me." ”

Duan Jinyan sighed: "Hey, what's the use of the prince, she only has Ling Kun in her eyes, and she never looks at me more." ”

"Oh, Prince Duan doesn't know yet, Ling Kun has been demoted by the emperor to a commoner and driven out of the capital, I just came out of the palace tonight, it seems that the emperor is going to choose a horse for the princess."

Duan Jinyan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Yan Shu's hand and said, "Brother Yan, you and I are destined, we must go for a drink." ”

Yan Shu nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a drink together." ”

Duan Jinyan said goodbye that day, but he didn't think about Zhao Mingyue for a moment, and after traveling in the Central Plains, he finally decided to go to Kaifeng to find an opportunity, after all, he was the prince, and his identity was more noble than Ling Kun. Even if Zhao Mingyue likes Ling Kun, it is not certain who the emperor will marry her.

At this time, it was an unexpected surprise to learn that Ling Kun had parted ways with Zhao Mingyue, and this time, a good opportunity could be counted.
