After Yu Xi finished writing, before the ladies could react, the sons were in an uproar and praised and circulated.

Feng Yiyang's eyes were dark and gloomy as he looked at Yu Xi, and the emotions in them were obscure. Yu Xi just didn't see it and returned to his seat.

There is also a customary activity on Qixi Festival, called "Yuanjia High School", the specific gameplay is: each Miss Childe has a half-pound hairy crab in the meal, the children can be at will, but the ladies need to take the crab meat, and after eating, they can also spell out a complete crab from the shell.

Yuanjia is one of the meanings of the imperial examination, and the ladies take the spelled crab shell and present it to their sweethearts, which means that it is good, and secondly, it can also show their ingenuity.

At this point, Yu Xi finished eating the crab meat and quickly broke the crab shell in his hand, for fear of being praised for "ingenuity".

It was not the first time for many young ladies to participate in the poetry meeting, they had already prepared, and the shells of the crabs they put together were like hairy crabs that had not been touched at all.

Only Yu Xi deliberately broke it all over the place, and scratched her index finger when she broke the crab claws with her bare hands, looking at the hand that oozes blood beads, she only sighed how difficult life is.

Many young ladies brought the complete crab shell to Feng Yiyang, Feng Yiyang noticed Yu Xi's small movements, and only asked, "Miss Yu Xi, what about yours?" ”

Yu Xi specially held it high for Feng Yiyang to see, wanting to disgust him. Unbeknownst to him, he actually caught her injured hand in full view.

"Xi'er is so stupid." He frowned, and was about to take the injured index finger into his mouth.

Yu Xi's eyes were quick and he quickly pulled back. Just kidding, so many pairs of eyes watching, isn't this trying to make her the target of public criticism!

When the poems were dispersed, it was already early time, and Yu Xi was about to go back with the two palace ladies, when a person who looked like a eunuch came to greet him.

"The Empress Dowager invited Miss Yu Xi to the harem." That's humane.

The Queen Mother is invited?

Yu Xi had never seen the Empress Dowager, and she didn't think that the Empress Dowager would have anything to do with her, so she was puzzled.

Before he could speak, he only heard Gong Feiran say, "I haven't come to the palace for a long time, I should go to meet the empress dowager, and bother my father-in-law to lead the way." ”

The little eunuch said: "The Empress Dowager has a will, the second lady and the third lady will go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by themselves, and the eldest lady will send a sedan chair back to the palace after seeing the Empress Dowager." ”

Gong Feiran and Gong Xiyue had no choice but to leave stupidly.

followed the little eunuch all the way to the Empress Dowager's Yangci Palace, he only let Yu Xi wait in the front hall, and went into the inner room to report.

After a while, he came out of the inner room with a hairpin in both hands.

"Miss Yu Xi, the Empress Dowager will give you a piece of makeup and a pearl flower." The little eunuch presented the hairpin and said respectfully.

Yu Xi has also seen a lot of good things over the years.

She took the hairpin in her hand and played with it: it is not a rare treasure, but the color of the jade and the workmanship and carving of the hairpin body are also of the highest quality. Compared with the little eunuch's "add makeup", it is more like taking an object on the dresser to give it to your favorite junior or a caring little palace maid.

"No merit, father-in-law." Yu Xi said, "I'm here, so let's go to the inner room to say hello to the Empress Dowager." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly stopped.

"Miss Yu Xi, the Empress Dowager invited you here to reward you with hairpins. It's not early, the Empress Dowager is about to sleep, and the servant is now arranging for someone to send you out of the palace. ”

The Empress Dowager wanted to look out at Yu Xi in the inner room, and as for sending a hairpin to add makeup to her, it was just a reason.

Yu Xi was relieved, nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll come back another day to thank you." ”

Just kidding, if you just want to reward her with something, it would be good if the little eunuch took it with her just now, wouldn't it be better to summon her over and reward her again, and put it in one fell swoop?

Yu Xi could feel a pair of eyes looking at her through the beaded curtain in the inner room. She didn't break it, but just followed the little eunuch out again.

Feng Yiyang is strange, how can he be like this. Yu Xi's heart was broken, but his face was still unfazed.

After returning from the palace, rumors spread in the court and the opposition, all saying that Miss Gong Yuji had abandoned the regent from the beginning to the end, and the regent only pressed her step by step because of love and hatred, and wanted to trouble her, seeing that her hand was injured and distressed. ”

"Sister, what did the prince say to you?" Gong Feiran asked her sideways.

"If you don't write poetry, you'll kill me." Yu Xi lied without ambiguity.

"What about the Empress Dowager?"

"The Empress Dowager said that my poems were good, and I was rewarded with a hairpin."

In fact, what Feng Yiyang said that day was "If you are disobedient, this king will kiss you in public", Yu Xi knew that with his shamelessness, this matter must be done.

was afraid that he would play a scoundrel in front of everyone and ruin her reputation, and he didn't dare to write a poem to deal with errands, so he copied Li Shangyin's masterpiece.

"Xi'er, what did the Empress Dowager say when she summoned you?"

Gong Xun heard that the Empress Dowager had summoned Yu Xi, and he was also particularly concerned.

Yu Xi felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said it one by one.

She thought that her father had the heart to cling, but who knew that Gong Xun only said: "It is said that the emperor's heart is like an abyss, and now the emperor is young, and the regent and the empress dowager are the emperors of Fengguo, so it is better to have less contact." so as not to cause trouble. ”

Yu Xi felt that what his father said was reasonable, and nodded in response.

As in previous years, after the poetry meeting, the matchmaker's admonition flew into the palace like snowflakes, and many princes and grandsons took marrying the second and third ladies of the palace as a blessing in their lives. But the eldest lady is uncaring.

No one dares to marry a woman who is entangled with the prince regent.

Gong Xun originally hoped that Yu Xi could stay by his side for a few more years, but it was exactly what he wanted.

It's just that Mrs. Feng added fuel and vinegar to the situation at the poetry meeting to him, and persuaded him to find a good in-law for Yu Xi as soon as possible. After all, people's words are terrifying, if Yu Xi doesn't marry early, sooner or later the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be ruined.

But Yu Xi didn't care about any of this, he had been in Beijing for half a month, and it was time to start investigating the truth about his mother's death.

After avenging his mother, he returned to Monan, continued to practice medicine with his father-in-law, and became an ordinary person in the mortal world. The walls of the Prime Minister's Mansion are too high, and it is not a place for people like her to stay.
