Chapter 12: Proton Overboard
The hundred officials sighed again. Even though this Wen Taifu's daughter is so rare, she has such an ability to make the prince, Lord Rui, and the two people in the center of the power of the dynasty all come to congratulate him.
The prince lowered his head and smiled, and sure enough, he still came. Now I'm afraid no one can bear it. This time he will inevitably snatch people into his own hands.
Lord Rui came, unlike the crown prince, who came alone, without other attendants and many gifts behind him.
Dressed in a purple robe, graceful and wanton.
Wen Taifu and other officials visited the prince again, "The next official will see the prince." ”
"Please." Lord Rui turned to the crown prince and saluted, "I've seen the imperial brother." ”
"The royal brother is here too?" The prince didn't smile at the flesh. "Isn't it too Fu Ainu to have such magical powers?"
Prince Rui got up and looked at the prince at eye level, and said with a smile, "Indeed, I have heard of the fame for a long time. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials below sighed again in their hearts, it was really like what they thought. Now this is the head of the great strength of the dynasty, the dignified prince, and the prince of the dynasty, all gathered here, just to see the beloved daughter who has been raised by Taifu Wen in the deep boudoir.
"The younger brother has seen the eldest brother and the second emperor brother." Xu Sheng walked in front of the crown prince and Prince Rui, bowed and saluted.
"Third brother?" The prince was very surprised, and he actually appeared here. "It turns out that the third brother also came to join in the fun." The tone is very indifferent, a little joking.
Xu Sheng heard the lack of attention in the prince's mouth, and the joke was teasing.
There were no waves on the face.
However, the eyebrows of Rui Wang Ye next to him were fine-tuned, without losing his demeanor, he chuckled, and took the initiative to sit in the banquet.
Xu Sheng has always been unfavored, and even has been in Yuanjiang all the year round, and he has not been in various activities in the capital in recent years. Now it suddenly appeared, but it was a surprise. But it makes sense. After all, he has been crowned king and has his own mansion in the capital.
It's just that this status is far from being comparable to Prince Rui and the crown prince.
Many officials below seem to have just remembered now, yes, before that, there was already a prince. Now, the three princes of the court and the central government have gathered.
Is it really because this Wen Taifu is so capable?
The scholar sitting in the corner drank alone, and it seemed that the three princes were really not taken seriously as rumored.
Three people took their seats. However, the eyes of the crown prince and the prince Rui were locked on the scholar in the corner, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xu Sheng drank wine, and his eyes only flowed between the prince and the prince Rui. Pretending not to know the real source in the corner.
After three banquets, the prince finally couldn't help it. mentioned to Taifu, "Taifu is full of peach and plum all over the world, and the widow has heard that you have a proud protégé, why don't you recommend it?" ”
"Proud protégé?" Wen Taifu seemed to be very puzzled.
"Very much." The prince looked at the corner of the banquet, "The widow looks at the person dressed as a scholar, he really has a style." ”
Wen Taifu saw the person in the corner, and he was looking at Qi Wenxiu. Qi Wenxiu hinted at Taifu with an undetectable hint of affirmation. Taifu replied respectfully to the prince, "The villain is an introduction to the prince." ”
"Wen Xiu, come here." Wen Taifu beckoned to the scholar in the corner.
Only then did Qi Wenxiu get up, came to the middle, and saluted the prince and the two princes, who were neither humble nor arrogant.
"Good, good, very good." The prince got three good in a row. The expression was very sincere, "I have heard that Taifu's disciples have outstanding demeanor, but now when I see it, he is really a talented person." ”
Xu Yanzhuo sneered in his heart, "Brother Huang, just made a salute, do you know that this person is talented?" Turning his head to look at the scholar, he was indeed a good look. The eyebrows are handsome, the posture is straight, and there is appreciation in the eyes, but he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's too much of a gratuitous compliment." ”
Qi Wenxiu naturally didn't miss the words and a touch of appreciation.
"Compliment?" The prince was swept away by such a bright face, and glanced at everyone, "The widow Jinkou Yuyan, even if the broken land is gold, who would dare to refute it?" Why compliment? ”
"Yes, yes." Xu Yanzhuo smiled with his eyebrows, "Brother Huang is so courageous. ”
Xu Sheng didn't participate in it from beginning to end, and he only watched from the sidelines. Now it seems that the prince was put on the spot by Xu Yanzhuo.
In just a few sentences, he not only exposed the disadvantages of arrogance and arbitrariness, but also said that breaking the ground is gold.
After listening to Xu Yanzhuo's bold teasing, the prince realized that he was trapped again. Dare to say a metaphor that no one dares to refute even if the loess is judged to be gold. I regret it in my heart, but I can't wait to tear off the current person with smiling eyebrows. However, the most important thing at the moment is to win over the world's Wolongzi.
It's just that this Qi Wenxiu is still respectful, and his face is not revealing at all. I'm afraid that he will see everything in his eyes like a mirror, but he will not say anything, and he does not know how this strange man thinks.
"Wen Xiu, good name." Xu Yanzhuo praised.
Qi Wenxiu looked up.
"I just heard Taifu call you like this." Xu Yanzhuo smiled, "I'll remember." ”
"Lord Xie, it's just a bad name for the grass people, and it's not worth remembering."
Xu Yanzhuo looked at the people standing below, he was really neither humble nor arrogant, if it was anyone, which one would not be honest and fearful Xie Longen?
At this time, the gift of Taifu's daughter and Lu was completed. I came out and really met the guests.
Wen Shuya is already an eldest daughter who can be married.
A pink silk dress, such as the delicate and beautiful flowers in March, a thin belt, circled out of the thin waist, such as a weak willow supporting the wind, the eyebrows are handsome, the posture is pleasant, it is really a rare beauty in the world.
The following officials all praised in their hearts, and they really went to fame.
Wen Shuya walked to the lotus and came to the main table, even if she was facing the crown prince and the two princes, she would not be rude. Dignified and elegant etiquette, "The courtiers have seen the prince, the prince of Rui, and the prince of Tai'an." ”
"Flat." The prince hurriedly exclaimed, "With such talent and appearance, Taifu really gave birth to a good daughter." ”
Wen Shuya got up and thanked the prince, and was about to stand next to the Taifu next to her, but she looked up and smiled at Xu Sheng, like picking a new flower in March, and it was as warm as a spring breeze.
It's a pity that Xu Sheng's face is still serious, and after seeing that smile, he only showed a polite nod to see the old man again, in response.
When Xu Sheng was young, his mother and Wen Taifu were friends, and Xu Sheng and Wen Shuya were playmates.
Since Xu Sheng was thirteen years old and his mother died, there has been less contact. What's more, three years later, Xu Sheng went to the frontier at the age of sixteen.
The prince saw that he couldn't win over the invulnerable scholar, so he had to start from the side. first praised how beautiful and skillful the Taifu daughter was. also gave the title of the first beauty in Beijing.
The officials below even felt that the prince wanted to marry this Confucian daughter as the crown princess.
But Lord Rui didn't make any movement at the moment. Instead, he asked the Taifu protégé, how do you feel about the first beauty in the capital? Scholars naturally say that they are both talented and beautiful.
Lord Rui actually said, "You are a proud protégé of Confucianism, a rare talent in the world." Talented people with beautiful women are very good. ”
Only then did Qi Wenxiu say clearly, "It has always been a brother and sister friendship with my junior sister. ”
After a banquet, the prince and the prince saw Wolongzi, who everyone in the world was robbing, but no one seemed to have made progress. I don't understand how this person can be co-opted. Obviously, he looks like a first-order ordinary scholar, well-behaved and upright. It's not like the cunning appearance of all kinds of people in the court, but after this time, I also understand that the invisible is better than the tangible.
The head of the two power centers in the court, he did not offend anyone, and no one received benefits. No one knows who side he is more likely to be on.
Xu Sheng looked like an outsider throughout the game. But in my heart, I am also thinking about whether it is as rumored, the one who gets the son of Wolong wins the world. But this scholar really has some ability. After all, the prince of Rui and the prince are circling around.
Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lord Rui was more intelligent all night, he didn't seem to care. With many years of experience in the battlefield, I felt that my eyes fell on me several times, and they flashed. It seems that he not only took the crown prince into consideration, but even put himself, who has not been favored for many years, into his consideration.
After the wine is gone, the guests leave.
After this time, Mrs. Wen has simply become a fragrant dumpling. Everyone knows that the crown prince and Prince Rui are both courting him. It is even more three-day, the prince and the prince of Rui actually send all kinds of gifts, and the treasures in the world are sent to Mrs. Wen.
Wen Taifu was very embarrassed. Qi Wenxiu found a courtyard, took a few servants, and moved out. so as not to affect Mrs. Wen and his daughter.
Qi Wenxiu moved, although the crown prince and Prince Rui clearly knew where he had moved. It's just that it can no longer be justified in all kinds of gifts. And this move also clearly shows that their behavior of constantly giving gifts and soliciting has made Qi Wenxiu deeply disturbed.
It was under this stalemate that another thing happened in the palace.
In the palace of the Queen Mother, the four princes of Si Kou Kingdom actually had an accident.
Si Koulin was pushed down the lotus pond by the bold maidservant. When Si Koulin was struggling with his life, and the servant girl on the side was anxious but didn't dare to shout, at this urgent moment, he was met by a passing servant girl. shouted for help before attracting the palace people to save Cheese Koulin.
It's just that this proton has always been weak, and he was too frightened, so he fainted, and even kept having a high fever, and was critically ill.
This alarmed the emperor, and it happened that the crown prince and Prince Rui were in the emperor's study. The three of them went to Si Kolin's residence together.
"Your Majesty, it was the slave family who neglected to overlook, and there was such a bold maidservant." The Queen Mother wants to stop all the responsibility. After all, although this child is a proton, he is the fourth prince of Haoyuan Kingdom after all. If something happens here, then no one can afford it, and the consequences are unimaginable. Over the years, it has been easy to calm down the war. If because of this incident, the dispute between the two countries will be launched again.
The emperor ignored the queen and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him.
"Tell the emperor, I was infected with wind and cold before, and I have not been treated, and now I am caught a cold in the water, plus I am frightened, and I have a high fever. In addition, there has been some malnutrition. It's dangerous. The imperial doctor completely ignored the eyes of the prince next to him, and explained all the conditions. He was originally the emperor's imperial doctor.
