Chapter 14: The First Sight of King Qi
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers have been loved by the emperor since they were three years old, and they have been married to King Rui as a concubine, and the courtiers are grateful. When my mother was alive, she also taught her courtiers many times to learn literature and etiquette. Although his mother died early, his father was away on an envoy, and his courtiers were diligent, they received the divorce document from King Rui on the wedding day. This matter hurt the courtiers very deeply, and if King Rui did not give the courtiers a satisfactory reason today, the courtiers would no longer be living in this world. With that, he began to sob.
"This king just broke off the marriage contract with you, why did he not obey the decree? If you slander this king like this, this king will definitely kill you to relieve your heart. King Rui on the side roared angrily.
Ling Ruoyi pretended to wipe the tears on his face, and said: "The prince's words are wrong, although the prince is not satisfied with the marriage contract with his courtiers, but after all, it was given by the first emperor. Isn't the will of the first emperor a holy decree? The prince did not marry a courtier as a concubine according to the will of the first emperor, isn't it a disobedience to the decree? ”
"It'——, you—" Rui Wang retorted powerlessly. Yes, this marriage was given by the first emperor, and it seems that this hat of disobedience cannot be removed.
"Ling Ruoyi, this protest is still reasonable, but what is the explanation of this second article?" Emperor Yuchen said softly.
"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Rui probably thinks that I am not worthy of being his concubine. The courtier's mother died early, and His Royal Highness King Rui was worried that no one would buy a dowry for the courtier, worried that the dowry was not rich enough, and he would lose the face of King Rui's mansion. That's the only reason the courtiers can think of. ”
"Nonsense, this king is not short of your little silver flowers. As we all know, you are an ugly bastard, seven years ago there was a fire, your mother died, and you are already disfigured, and you don't know how to write and music. How can the princess of this king be such an ugly and ignorant woman as you? ”
Under the court, there was chaos, oh my God, this Rui Wang is not short-sighted, this Miss Ling is as beautiful as a fairy, how can you say that she is extremely ugly? If there is no literary brilliance, where did the words of the convincing accusation against the prince just come from?
Ling Ruoyi smiled lightly, turned around and walked towards King Rui, and saluted respectfully: "Lord, the courtiers know that they are not salty, and they also admit that they are not good at writing. Since the prince gave the courtiers a satisfactory answer, the courtiers agreed to withdraw from the marriage. ”
"Hmph," Rui Wang glanced at Ling Ruoyi's figure, and with a glimpse, he clearly saw that there was such a peerless beauty standing in front of him. Aren't the rumors saying that she is ugly? How could it be......
"Brother Huang, my brother has been cold-eyed for a while, since Brother Rui Wang is unwilling to marry Miss Ling, then it is better to dissolve this marriage, and also return Miss Ling's free body." The man who spoke was wearing a purple straight court robe, only to see that he had a gold silk spider stripe of the same color around his waist, his black hair was tied up and fixed with a crown inlaid with blue gilt, his slender body was quite straight, and the whole person was handsome and full of innate nobility, which made people feel unattainable and low to dust.
"Brother Qi Wang, since ancient times, women are virtuous if they are not talented. Even if Miss Ling doesn't know how to write and ink, it's not a big deal, if she cancels the marriage contract under this excuse, it will always damage the royal face and hinder Miss Ling's reputation. ”
"What the imperial brother said is that the younger brother will come up with a question to test Miss Ling's literary talent." The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty nodded in agreement.
King Qi turned to look at Ling Ruoyi and said, "Miss Ling, are you good at pairs or poetry?" ”
"The courtiers are not talented, the prince will ask the question at will, if the courtiers can't answer, they will naturally retreat."
"Okay, the king will make a pair first, listen up, the king's upper link is: the water is turbid, the water has fish, the water is water, the rivers and lakes are miao."
"The courtiers are right: the wood is the foundation, the wood is the end, the wood is the wood, the pine and cypress are in the forest." Ling Ruoyi saluted King Qi.
"Good. The ghosts and ghosts, the four little ghosts, and the ghosts are on the side. King Qi looked around.
"The lower couplet of the courtiers is: Qin Se Pipa, the Eight Kings, and the King is above."
"That's right, it's good, it's wonderful, can you make palindromic poems?"
"The courtiers are not talented, they are willing to try a poem, and ask the prince to teach them." Ling Ruoyi was still polite. And King Rui on the side was suddenly dumbfounded, hating that he shouldn't have listened to the rumors and ruined this family business.
"Miss Ling, this king's upper link is: the autumn moon plays the flute in the sky, and the moon plays the flute in the sky. The sound of the flute in the sky clears the grievances, and the sound of the empty flute clears the grievances. ”
Ling Ruoxuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "The winter pavilion is cold and the guests are appreciating the plum blossoms, and the pavilion is cold and the guests are appreciating the plum blossoms." The cold callers enjoy the plum snow, and the callers enjoy the plum snow. After finishing speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone stretched out their thumbs to praise Ling Ruoyi as a generation of talented women.
"Well, that's great. Miss Ling, my brother Qi Wang is the best literary person in the country, you can match his poems, it can be seen that Ling Xiang's goddaughter is well-organized. Emperor Yuchen looked at King Rui and said, "Brother King Rui, this Miss Ling is as angry as a fairy and more talented than immortals, why are you not satisfied?" Do you still insist on breaking the marriage? ”
King Rui immediately arched his hand and said, "Brother Huang, my brother was rude just now. It is all the ministers who don't believe the rumors, since this is the case, then the ministers are also willing to obey the order and choose a day to marry Ling Ruoyi as a concubine. ”
Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth raised a smug smile, this small gesture was seen by King Qi. Hearing only a plop, Ling Ruoxuan knelt on the ground, "The courtiers asked the emperor to take back the holy decree, and the courtiers have already said that since King Rui has given the courtiers a reason to be satisfied, the courtiers should be self-aware and no longer expect to become Princess Rui." ”
"Ling Ruoxi, Brother Rui Wang has already said that he has misbelieved the rumors, and he is willing to marry you one day, you are still Princess Rui, why do you want me to cancel the marriage contract between the two of you."
"Your Majesty, since King Rui only listened to rumors that it was convenient for his courtiers to withdraw from the marriage, it can be seen that King Rui did not really want to marry his courtiers, although King Rui was merciful and willing to allow the courtiers to respect the princess, but the courtiers did not want to come to Japan and the prince would abandon the courtiers after listening to other rumors. Since King Rui has no love for his courtiers, why don't you lift the shackles between the two of us and let the prince marry the person he likes, which is a great grace for both the prince and the courtiers. ”
"Brother Huang......" King Rui just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by King Qi......
