Chapter 410: Save the concubine

"If you want to play, you have fun." At this time, Zi Sang spoke again.

She looked at Qi Hao and Gu Jinli with cold eyes, and raised her voice and said, "Let's not randomly choose two people from them to vote, it's too troublesome." ”

"Just let everyone choose the one who writes the best, and the rest are the losers."

"The one who wins can put any conditions on any one who loses."

Zi Sang was so bold, with a fierce momentum and a bad comer, and instantly brought tonight's dinner party to a climax.

Except for the five parties and the Empress of Yunguo, the ministers present all had to vote, which was indeed much better than drawing two and choosing another one.

Because, it's about a random selection of five, but who can guarantee that there will be no cats in the lottery?

Allowing ministers to vote directly is more open and transparent.

"Yo, Princess Zisang's gameplay is amazing!"

"Tsk, there's not some kind of mine in here, is it?"

"Oops, this game is really the right game!"

"I'm looking forward to who will win!"

……

The ministers who eat melons still look like they don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and they all stretch their necks, excited and excited.

However, the old emperor is unwilling!

He didn't dare to take risks, in case Zisang or the little concubine lost, Qi Hao and Gu Jinli won, as the victorious side, what excessive demands did they make, how could this be good!

Yun Guo has paid a lot of tribute to Qi Guo over the years, if Qi Hao takes this opportunity to open his mouth, the old emperor really can't imagine that he will faint on the spot.

Cut the city? Or is it an aggravated tribute?

The queen was also dissatisfied with Zi Sang being so willful, the smile on her face decreased a little, and she gently persuaded: "Zi Sang, this palace thinks that it is nothing to win the condition, but should this condition be within a reasonable range?" ”

"If it exceeds the scope of ability, isn't it difficult for a strong man?"

"Well, I think the queen is absolutely right." The words in his heart were said euphemistically by the queen, and the old emperor's face looked much better: "The game is a game, and there are some principled things that cannot be violated." ”

"The concubines also agree with the opinion of the emperor and the queen, the game, isn't it just to have fun, what to do has to be more serious!" Seeing that the queen and the old emperor were talking back and forth, in order to express their position with the emperor, they also talked a lot.

Of course, she and Zi Sang are sworn enemies.

Zisang said the east, and the noble people must say the west.

Anyway, no matter what, it's right that the noble lady has to go against Zisang.

"Noble lady." Jieguiren successfully provoked the anger that Zisang had just suppressed, the light in her eyes was like a knife, and she couldn't wait to cut off Jieguiren's tongue, and her tone was also full of murderous energy, "The game is being played by this palace, and you are not qualified to point fingers here!" ”

This is said without the slightest mercy, it is a intention to make the noble people unable to come to the stage in public!

"You!" Jieguiren's face immediately turned pale, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Zisang's nose, and said angrily: "Zisang, I usually think that you are the only princess of the emperor, so I can't bear to let you score three points, but I didn't expect you to get an inch?!" ”

"Let me tell you, I am the emperor's concubine, and you have to call me a concubine according to your identity!"

"How ...... you are so disrespectful to me"

"Smack!"

"Ahh

Before the second half of the sentence of "no education at all" was finished, the noble lady let out a painful wail.

Because, Zisang directly held the hand that Jieguiren pointed at her, and then broke it hard, with the intention of breaking the finger.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Jieguiren didn't expect Zisang to dare to do it to herself in front of so many people, she burst into tears of pain, and cried and shouted: "You madman, let go, let go!" ”

Zi Sang had a cold face, and did not pay attention to the noble Jie, but increased his strength.

"Woo, my hand!" The noble lady had no choice but to ask the old emperor with a black face like the bottom of the pot and said, "Your Majesty, woo woo...... Save your concubines! ”

The concubine's fingers...... It's going to break! ”

The old emperor slapped the table hard, and his voice was obviously annoyed: "Zisang, what are you doing here?" Don't let go of the noble lady yet! ”

After learning that the old emperor was going to marry him far away to Qi Guo, Zi Sang's stomach was full of fire.

Just like the crown princess who was about to collapse by the stupid prince, Zisang's patience was also at the limit.

Otherwise, she would not have sent someone to ambush Qi Hao and Gu Jinli on the way to Yunguo, nor would she use the stupid prince to hurt Gu Jinli, causing Qi Hao and the old emperor to have a conflict.

But all the women of the old emperor are the enemies of Zisang.

The queen is, the noble lady is, and the concubine is the same.

The old emperor defended Jie's nobles, firstly, because he was afraid that she would be emotional and that something would happen to the child in her belly.

After all, he is old, and he finally let the concubine conceive a child, and he doesn't want to be happy at the end.

Second, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the representatives of the Qi State, Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, were watching, Zisang's move was simply rude to the extreme!

Seeing that the old emperor reprimanded Zisang, the noble woman cried even more, and she didn't care about her image at all.

She put her other hand on her lower abdomen and then made a painful look: "Ah, my stomach hurts too!" ”

One is the unmoved Zisang, and the other is the noble woman who is crying and crying, Gu Jinli only felt that the sudden scene in front of her was so funny, and she was secretly sighing in her heart Why should this noble woman who stabbed a horizontal knife out of it?

Since she is pregnant with the old emperor's child, then she will be safe and honestly raised in her own palace, why do you still participate in these boring banquets?

This woman is really big-hearted, and she is not afraid that someone will take advantage of today's crowded occasion to secretly use some small means to get rid of her child!

Looking at the concubine next to Jieguiren, her face showed nervousness and concern for Jieguiren, but she kept her mouth shut and did not open her mouth to intercede for Jieguiren.

Let's not talk about her delicate and weak appearance, just say that she just knew that Jie Guiren deliberately dropped the flower ball on the ground, but she still pretended to be indifferent, and passed the flower ball to the next person, you can know that she is smart and forbearing.

Regardless of gender, no one likes to watch people play tricks, and no one likes to listen to people arguing.

Everyone knows what kind of character Jiegui has.

She lost her face not only herself, but also the face of the old emperor.

Everyone knows whether the flower bulb fell on the ground accidentally or intentionally.

If Concubine Ying immediately quarreled with Jieguiren, it would seem that she was stingy.

On the contrary, she does not have the same knowledge as the nobles, and she can leave everyone with a tolerant and generous image that takes into account the overall situation and does not care about the nobles.

In the comparison between the two parties, the gentle and lovely concubine is indeed more popular than the noble lady who likes to make small means.

"Purple mulberry!" Seeing that Zisang still didn't let go of Jie's noble fingers, the old emperor said sharply: "Don't force me to do it!" ”

Speaking of which, anyone with eyes can see that the old emperor is really angry.

At this time, no one dared to squeak, for fear of setting themselves on fire.

Zi Sang looked at the old emperor's old eyes without a little warmth, and his heart was frozen a little by the chill in his eyes.

Withdrawing her hand, she pretended to be strong and raised her chin, and warned Jieguiren: "Jieguiren, you have been in the palace for a long time, this princess is born with such a stinky temper, you should know that I am not someone you can mess with casually!" ”

Even the old emperor had nothing to do with Zisang, and she could only swallow her grievances into her stomach.

After all, smart people don't suffer immediate losses.

She sniffed, glared at Zi Sang viciously, and sat down again with a disgraced face.

Everyone looked at Princess Zisang's face as cold as an iceberg, and they couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Indeed, Princess Zisang has a strange temper, this is a well-known thing, what is the noble lady doing when she is idle and has nothing to provoke her?

However, no matter how you say it, it's all in front of outsiders, Princess Zisang always has to take care of the face of Yunguo, right?

The old emperor stared coldly at Zisang for a while, and the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

Zisang was not afraid, and looked at the old emperor so straight with his neck stalked, as if he was in a silent confrontation.

The atmosphere was so stiff, anyone who looked at it was embarrassed, like sitting on pins and needles, for fear that the invisible war would accidentally affect themselves.

Qi Hao sipped the sake in the cup and watched the fire from the other side.

Gu Jinli heard Qi Hao talk about the "secret matter" between Zisang and the old emperor two years ago, and Chen Zexuan also told her two years later.

She doesn't despise true love between people of the same sex, but she tries her best to reject and disapprove of "unruly" love like Zisang.

The reason why human beings are different from animals is that they have thoughts, know how to be polite, righteous and honest, and have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and judge right and wrong.

If man has failed to even regard ethics, what is the difference between him and an animal full of animal nature?

Rushui's eyes looked back and forth between the old emperor and Zi Sang, and Gu Jinli withdrew her gaze again.

Looking down, she played with the spoon in her hand, tapping the mouth of the bowl again and again.

"Your Majesty, do you see, does the old slave want to write all the poems on the same piece of paper?" At this time, the old eunuch was bold and broke the deadlock of the smell of gunpowder.

The old emperor waved his hand and exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, "Go!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and carefully transcribed the five lines of poetry on a large piece of rice paper.

After writing, the old eunuch beckoned to the little eunuch, and the two of them unfolded the rice paper in front of everyone for everyone to read and appreciate.

I have to say that the old eunuch's words are very neat, and they are pleasing to the eye.

Everyone looked at these five lines of poetry and began to discuss.

"The breeze shakes the willows, and the light moon loses the plum blossoms. Okay, that's good! ”

"No, the word 'shake' is not beautiful enough. I think 'the breeze dances the willows, the light moon reflects the plum blossoms' is more brilliant! ”

"No, no!" At this time, another person shook his head again, and commented with an unfathomable look: "'Dancing willows' is a good sentence, but it is still not the best. ”

The minister, who was not evaluated as superior, was not happy when he heard this, and asked unconvinced: "Lord Cheng, 'dance' is to imitate people's movements, and the posture of Liu is reflected more vividly. ”

The word "hidden" makes the brightness of the moon more prominent.

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

This adult is a handful of old men, and he is a well-known old pedant.

On weekdays, I like to chew words the most, and if anyone says something in the court, as long as it is drilled by adults, it will definitely help you find out what loopholes in the language and words to correct it.

Therefore, everyone is very disgusted with this stubborn old minister.

However, Cheng Daren himself did not know it, and he has been immersed in his own study of knowledge and the use of words and sentences.

Of course, in all fairness, Cheng is upright, and in terms of character, there is still nothing to say.

"What you said is right, but the word 'Fu' is more vivid, which not only writes the slight wind and the delicate willow, but also writes the intimacy and mutual snuggling demeanor of the wind and willow." Master Cheng stroked his beard and continued: "Look at the word 'lost' again, it is more appropriate than 'hidden'. ”

"It not only emphasizes the brightness of the moonlight, but also takes into account the cleanliness of the plum blossoms, highlighting the scene of the two merging into one color, which is more consistent."

After becoming an adult, and then tasting it carefully, they really found that it was indeed as he said.

Compared with the crossword verses composed of these five sentences, the words "Fu" and "Hidden" are really better.

"Yes, yes, Lord Cheng's analysis is very correct!"

"I also thought just now that it is better to lose and hide, and the words shine, and sure enough, the hero sees the same thing!"

"The breeze supports the fine willows, and the light moon loses the plum blossoms, which is really wonderful!"

……

Master Cheng's knowledge is very high, and what he said just now is reasonable, so if anyone doesn't echo a few sentences, it seems that his literary cultivation is not high.

There are two more sentences, but no one is to judge.

The old emperor didn't know who wrote these two lines of poetry that people ignored, so he had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and his old eyes swept over the five people one by one.

Gu Jinli and Qi Hao's expressions were faint, as usual, and they couldn't see anything.

Zi Sang's expression was also as cold as ever, but no one noticed that her palm had been pulled out of blood by her slender nails.

As for the little concubine and Master Kong, one looked nervous, the other looked embarrassed, in short, the old emperor thought about it with his toes, and he was sure that the poems of these two people must not have been chosen.

"Ouch, look at the third sentence, the breeze kisses the willows, and the light moon touches the plum blossoms!"

I don't know who raised his voice in a weird way, and finally read out the poem of Master Kong, which is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

"Hahaha, this kiss and touch, shouldn't it be Master Kong's poem?!"

Everyone invariably looked at Master Kong, who had turned red with a fat pig face, all with banter.

"I ......" Master Kong hesitated, and when he saw the old emperor's displeased eyes drifting over, he forcibly defended himself calmly: "Lord Ben thinks that this 'kiss' and 'touch' have a different kind of style. ”

"It's like an interaction between lovers, it's wonderful!"

It is not unreasonable for Master Kong to explain this. It's just that these two words seem too vulgar in comparison. The old scholar shook his head and criticized mercilessly: "What is poetry? Poetry is a noble and pure thing, which expresses a person's inner world. ”

"A man's heart is pure or turbid, and it can be reflected through the poems he composes!"

This means that Master Kong is filthy in his heart, and the poems he writes are just as vulgar.

Of course, Master Kong is indeed such a person.

After listening to the adults' words, everyone laughed again.

Master Kong was embarrassed by Lord Cheng, opened his mouth, and was speechless.

He suddenly regretted why he had come to this palace banquet.

Isn't it good to rest comfortably on the soft collapse of the house? Why bring shame on yourself!

However, now he can't leave halfway, so he can only let everyone laugh at him.

"Okay, now that everyone has made a judgment, let's start voting!" The old emperor patted the table, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and asked the old eunuch to take the little eunuch to hand out papers to everyone to vote.

While waiting for the results of the vote count, the atmosphere that had just eased for a while by appreciating the poems became tense again.

The 100 people at the table were all silent, and they could even hear the needle falling on the ground.

Some people saw that Qi Hao and Gu Jinli were like two outsiders from beginning to end, indifferent to everything, and didn't know whether to admire their self-confidence or despise their blind arrogance.

Looking at Zisang again, there is still an unextinguished flame in his eyes, which makes people dare not look at it a second time after just one look.

The old eunuch took the little eunuch to count the votes efficiently, and it only took less than half a column of incense.

The old eunuch's hand trembled a little when he held the results of the vote count, because the old emperor's eyes were very sharp and grim when he looked at him, so that he did not have the courage to announce it.

His throat tightened a little, and he swallowed and carefully handed the paper forward.

After the old emperor saw the poem on the paper, he frowned and looked at the old eunuch again.

Everyone sat down and couldn't see the voting results at all, so they could only look at their necks, trying to guess who had won by the expression of the old emperor.

To be precise, there are no names on the paper, only the poem with the highest number of votes.

However, as long as everyone knows which line of poetry, it is tantamount to knowing who won.

Anyway, who knows who wrote the poems, and there are so many pairs of eyes here to watch, no one can brazenly pretend to be someone else's poem.

The old emperor held the back of the paper and the green tendons were exposed, and he swept around the five people who were also looking at him who were participating in the crossword puzzle, and only after a while did he say to the old eunuch in a muffled voice: "Announce it." ”

The old eunuch transcribed the poems, so he stood up straight and said loudly: "The light wind supports the fine willows, and the light moon loses the plum blossoms!" ”

Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at Zisang's terrifying face, he had the momentum of seeing death as home, and said word by word: "Lin Gongzi wins!" ”

The old eunuch's voice fell, and everyone began to gossip again.

Some people praised Gu Jinli's quick thinking, some people were unconvinced that she just happened to bump into her, and some people were curious and expected what kind of requirements Gu Jinli would make to the loser.

In short, Gu Jinli has become the focus of everyone's discussion again.

Qi Hao hooked his lips, put down the wine glass, and his eyes were bright, as if the person who won was himself.

"Bang!" , and suddenly there was a loud bang, causing everyone to look at the sound.

I saw that Zi Sang's palm was bright red.

"Princess Zisan?" The crown princess covered her mouth and was taken aback.

The wine glass in Zi Sang's hand was crushed by her vigorously, and the crumbs pierced into the flesh, bleeding a lot.

Seeing Zisang so gaffe, the queen couldn't help but lose her tone, and instructed Shuxia: "Go, find a doctor for the princess." ”

Shuxia nodded, raised her feet and prepared to leave the main hall.

Gu Jinli looked at Shuxia and unconsciously remembered Mo Lilai, who was disguised as a palace maid last night.

Mo Li used a human skin mask with the same appearance as Shuxia, could there be any connection between this?

Shuxia is the little palace maid next to the queen, and Xu Moli chose her face for convenience.

The seedling that had just popped up with a little doubt in his mind was cut off by Gu Jinli herself.

Ah Qiao saw Gu Jinli staring at Shuxia, and naturally thought of Mo Li's awkward appearance in the palace maid's clothes, and had goosebumps on his body.

"No need!" Zisang couldn't get used to seeing that the queen always looked fake, she took the handkerchief and wiped her hands slowly, while her two eyes shot at Gu Jinli opposite, and the exit was still gunpowder: "Lin Gongzi won, then make a request!" ”

The goose-yellow handkerchief was stained with a large red patch after Zi Mulberry wiped his hands, and it was evident that a lot of blood had been shed, and the wound must have been very painful.

But the cup of crumbs didn't seem to be Zi Sang, and everyone looked at her without even frowning, and couldn't help but sigh that their princess was really not an ordinary woman!

Shuxia stopped, glanced at the queen, and when she saw the queen nodding, she turned back again.

Gu Jinli's expression was calm, she glanced at her with a solemn face, her eyes stared at her old emperor without blinking, and said with a smile: "Princess Zisang, can I ask for anything?" ”

Zi Sang gritted his teeth, "That's right! ”

The rules of the game are what she said, she has the confidence to lose even if she loses!

"Well, let me think about it for a while." Gu Jinli touched her chin and made a very tangled look of serious contemplation.

Qi Hao looked at her black and white eyes, and knew that she must have some bad idea again, and she actually had a trace of expectation.

In addition to Qi Hao and Zisang, Lord Kong, the little concubine, and the old emperor and queen are not so calm.

The sweat on Master Kong's forehead fell down, like a pig about to be slaughtered.

The little concubine clutched her sleeves tightly, and her eyes looked a little pitiful.

As Gu Jinli pondered for more time, the smirk on the queen's face couldn't be hung up, and the old emperor was also impatient: "How is it?" Lin Gongzi has thought about it? ”

"As long as it is within the scope of his ability and does not hurt the friendship between the two countries, Lin Gongzi can make a request."

The old emperor's words hinted that Gu Jinli should not make some excessive demands, and asked her to pay attention to proportion.

How could Gu Jinli not understand the old emperor's words, she said "oh", but still didn't give an answer.

On the contrary, it was Qi Hao who actually held her hand again, and said with a smile: "If you have any requirements, you can rest assured and boldly mention it, Princess Zisang is not a villain who does not speak of credibility, but if you put it forward, she will definitely do it!" ”

After a pause, he didn't forget to bring the anxious Master Kong with him: "Not only Princess Zisang, but even the entire Yun Kingdom, presumably under the careful governance of the Emperor of the Cloud Kingdom, there are very few people who are not trustworthy!" ”

These words are not only putting a high hat on the old emperor of Yun Country and the entire Yun Kingdom, but also cutting off Zi Sang's back road.

I have to say that Qi Hao's god assist is really more ruthless!

Gu Jinli, like everyone, didn't expect Qi Hao to come to such a sentence coldly, and twitched the corners of her mouth.

He looked at his eyes, as if to say, this is our territory, it doesn't matter how presumptuous you want, do whatever you want!

Something went wrong, I'll pocket it for you!

And Qi Hao's appearance, in the eyes of others, is also like this, arrogant is not a star!

The old emperor was so angry that his beard curled, and a thick killing intent flashed in Zi Sang's eyes.

Really, it's so deceitful!
