Chapter 197: The Empress
The birthday feast lasted from noon to midnight.
The lanterns are hung high in the Mongolian mansion, and the people are beaming.
Most of the guests were already drunk, some continued to drink, laugh and scold, and some fell asleep under the wine table.
Because of his special identity, Yang Ye and the three rare works sent out today were dragged and sat next to him.
General Meng Lao is always strong, wine and meat are used as rice, and the hearty and hearty laughter does not seem to be tired, and it has been continuing on the wine table.
The table full of guests toasted one by one, and the old people did not refuse.
Because of her lively and lovely personality, Yang Ziyu made an exception to let her sit next to Yang Ye to eat.
This little girl didn't have a little gratitude, and Dade was still lukewarm to the old general, glaring at him occasionally, full of displeasure, obviously thinking that this old guy had taken too much advantage of her brother.
Yin Xue stood quietly behind Yang Ye in white clothes, with a beautiful face and dusty temperament, which provoked many guests to peek frequently.
Meng Lao didn't let her sit down, she didn't listen to Yang Ye's words and scolded the side to eat, but stubbornly stood behind the young man, really like a maid, seeing those guests full of envy.
Yang Ziyu occasionally fed her a few vegetables, and she also shook her head, her eyes did not leave Yang Ye's appearance, but she looked a little pitiful.
Yang Ye ignored her, ate by herself and talked to Meng Lao to listen to the war at the border pass.
In the middle of the night, everyone finally left after drinking and eating.
Meng Lao was drunk and stood at the door with Xiaoqing's support to see off the guests.
When he saw Yang Ye following Chen Jianchen and was about to leave, the unruly old general at the wine table walked closer, patted Yang Ye on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Boy, the old man also knows a thing or two about you and the Lei family. You are not full of wings now, bear with it for the time being, the old man believes that with your talent, you will be able to reach the peak of Lingyun in a few years. ,.
"The court is now controlled by traitors, and the Lei family is powerful, even if it is an old man, he can only turn a blind eye. But you don't have to worry, the queen is virtuous and intelligent, and as long as she is there, the country will have a turnaround, and there will be a place for your kid to come into play. Yang Ye bowed down and said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern." ,.
Meng Yan smiled and said, "The old man doesn't care about you, but cares about the entire Xia Kingdom, the more young people like you, the more hope I have for the Xia Kingdom." The queen is very fond of you, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds and do not disappoint her expectations. ,.
"Yang Ye was taught. ,.
Yang Ye said respectfully.
Meng Yan nodded with satisfaction, raised his gaze and glanced at the girl in white behind him, and said with a low smile: "Your sister's strength is very good." And you, the follower who doesn't know if it's a maid or a little wife, is even more extraordinary. The old man advises you, if your wife doesn't object, you'd better find an opportunity to get this girl, which will definitely be of great benefit to your future cultivation. ,.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go quickly." Yang Ye and Chen Jianchen bowed to the old general and turned to leave.
On the way, Chen Jianchen turned his head again and looked at the beautiful girl in white, glanced at the girl in white, and whispered to Yang Ye: "Boy, you don't know, Meng Lao has always been extremely accurate in looking at people. I heard that when he was young, he once met an alien in the mountains and taught him some physiognomy techniques. "When I was in the palace and saw the queen for the first time, the queen was not the queen mother at that time, but just a county lord. Of course, these words were said by the old man to a few good generals in private, and I only learned about it recently. ,.
Yang Ye was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said, "It turns out that the queen mother used to be a county lord, so how did she get favored by the emperor?
Chen Jianchen patted his arm and signaled him not to talk nonsense, cautiously glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Yes, according to the generation, the queen mother should actually be the emperor's niece." But... I guess you also know that now the emperor is old and is bewitched by traitorous ministers, ignoring the government and indulging in wine, as long as you see beautiful women being instigated by those damn noses.
"Fat Chen, so to speak, the queen mother is your own sister, so you are still a prince. Yang Ziyu suddenly interjected.
Chen Jianchen smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Outsiders think she is my own sister, but it's not. I was just one of her cousins, who was adopted by the prince and treated as a parent. However, the Xia State has a rule that if it is not the Li family's relatives, it is not allowed to be crowned king or hereditary title. ,.
"Although the old prince only has one son, me, he is no exception. I still have the surname Chen after I became an adult, and I don't have much to do with the Li family. Thinking about it, the old prince is also pitiful, and there is no son to inherit his throne, not to mention that the only biological daughter was favored by her brother and entered the harem. I was also disheartened and lazy, so I asked the queen for an errand and came to the border.
Yang Ye glanced at the middle-aged man with a somewhat gloomy expression and said, "No wonder you and the queen mother are not the same surname, Lou was still strange at the beginning." Chen Jianchen smiled faintly and said, "Although I am not a surname, the queen lady treats me as my own brother." I, Chen Jianchen, have always been a gentleman who does not know how to make progress and wait for death, but from the first day I came to the border, I vowed to obtain military merits and become a real general. "She worked hard in the palace, worked hard for state affairs, confronted traitorous ministers, dealt with the emperor and those concubines, just for the palace and the Xia country. I want to be outside, holding up a world for her, so that the people in the court have scruples and dare not target her too much. Yang Ziyu's eyes when he saw this fat man Chen for the first time were no longer flashing and funny, but full of perseverance.
The little girl said curiously: "Uncle Chen heard that the emperor loves the queen very much, and he listens to her for many things?,.
Chen Jianchen shook his head, smiled bitterly, and sighed again and again, "How can it be so simple, the queen mother has just ascended to the throne, the foundation is unstable, and without the support of the military generals, many things are helpless." What's more, those forces in the court and China are intertwined and deep-rooted, and the emperor is also extremely dependent on those people, so it is impossible to move them easily. ,.
Chen Jianchen said, "Yes, the queen mother is lonely." After all, she is just a sixteen-year-old young girl, although she has been resolute and intelligent since she was a child, where can she compare with those old foxes. "Ah, the queen is so young, not a few years older than me, and only two years older than Sister Yinxue, it's really pitiful. Yang Ziyu said with a sympathetic face.
Chen Jianchen walked with his head down, his eyes showed a touch of gloom and distress, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Ye and said: "The last time you sealed Hou Chi, she tried her best to promote, she took a fancy to your talent, and even more to the heart shown in your works." Yang Ye, you are destined not to be peaceful in the future, I hope you can help her when the time comes. Even if I can't fight against those people, as long as I can make her suffer less harm and save her life, I Chen Jianchen am grateful. ”
Yang Ye was just about to answer, but Yang Ziyu next to him suddenly said: "What's the use of gratitude, my brother's life is more precious than anyone else's, even if she is the queen's mother." Anyway, my brother just does his best, if it really doesn't work, I will take him to run away from the court or the Xia Kingdom, I don't care, I only care if my brother is safe or happy. ”
Chen Jianchen was not angry, he looked at the little girl in front of him who was extremely protective of Yang Ye, with envy on his face, and smiled at Yang Ye: "Your sister, you care more about you than your own sister, it is really admirable." It's a pity, my sister can't see it, and she thinks about the country wholeheartedly, but it's respectable but pitiful. ”
Yang Ye said seriously: "No one does not admire the queen's personality, Uncle Chen rest assured, if I, Yang Ye, really have the day you say, I will definitely help you take care of her." Although I will not be foolish and loyal to Xia Guo, I will definitely not be stingy with my ability to admire and admire those in my heart. ”
"That's good, that's good. ”
Chen Jianchen patted him on the shoulder, his face full of gratitude.
During the day, Yang Ye was asked by a maid at the birthday banquet of General Mengda, and the song "Dove Bridge Immortal" improvised on the spot has been spread throughout Douxue City in less than half a day.
For the earth-shattering vision brought by this little poem at that time, it was even more miraculous, and nine people were not surprised.
The streets and alleys were boiling, teahouses and restaurants were foaming at the mouth, and they were all talking excitedly about the horrific scene that happened in the Mongolian Mansion at that time.
Until late at night, all sleepless families and some business occasions were still talking about the talented teenager, saying it over and over again, and more and more exaggerated, but no one loved to hear it, and no one did not admire.
In the new barracks, Chen Yuxiang and the others did not get tired after swimming in Luoxue Lake for a day, and they all sat around the bonfire at this time, with different expressions.
Zhou Qi said excitedly, "Now I know that Yang Hou is really an earth-shattering figure, and all afternoon, I have been listening to pedestrians talking about him all the way. I heard that it was only a maid in the Mongolian Mansion who had admired Yang Hou for a long time, so he dared to ask for poetry, but Yang Hou did not refuse or despise the little maid, and agreed on the spot. ”
"Tut, I heard that many of the generals present at the time looked down on the young Yang Hou, but what about someone who wrote a poem casually and broke General Ning's two arms, General Si, do you know that he is a burly and powerful Ning Xiong, but he is mighty. Hey, even if he was unlucky, he actually wanted to humiliate that Yang Hou, who knew that he was asking for hardship and being embarrassed, not to mention it, and was crippled by a piece of paper. ”
Zhang Nannan was suspicious: "These should be exaggerated, how can you just write a poem casually and break a general's arm." ”
Zhou Qi was about to argue, but Sima Xiaowei, who had been silent beside Zhang Nannan, spoke up and said, "Nannan, this should be true." Yang Hou's little poem was extremely subtle, and it must have contained a literary tone, and after General Ning read it, everyone felt it, so it inspired a vision and crushed his arm.
Although I didn't see the situation with my own eyes, I can roughly guess that the lowest word in that song is also a ground-level work, even if it is placed on the roof pool, it can collapse the entire house. What Zhou Qi said is not an exaggeration. ”
As soon as Zhou Qi heard that his beloved goddess was helping to speak, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I heard that the little word not only crushed General Ning's arms, but also smashed a big pit in the hard stone bricks, and the whole house shook." I also heard that there was a martial artist at that time, and he stepped forward to use the strength of milk, and tried to pick up the paper, but the paper did not move. I also heard that at that time, the whole Mongolian palace was full of light, like a scorching sun."
"Well, well, you've heard a lot. ”
Chen Yuxiang interrupted him angrily, and said, "Even if this matter is true, it is not your turn to be excited, and the Marquis of the Bu Family has nothing to do with you, what are you doing." ”
Zhou Qi said with a smile: "This is not what happened in our Douxue City, it's not far from us, it's exciting to think about it, but it's a pity that we didn't see it with our own eyes at the time." ”
Zhang Nannan snorted coldly: "I am not qualified to go there." ”
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "That's what I said." ”
Sima Xiaowei's eyes flashed, and she muttered, "Why do you think he came to Douxue City?"
"I heard that I also came to join the army. ”
Zhou Qi said with a smile.
The corners of Chen Yuxiang's mouth showed a touch of disdain, and said, "Even if you come to join the army, you will directly come to be a general with your strength and identity, but you won't train as hard as us...... Isn't Luo just going to be able to write a few poems, and I'm going to do it too. ”
There was a sour tone and a face full of jealousy.
Zhang Nannan said with a smile: "Of course, those of us who cultivate literature can write poems, but if you want to make such a poem casually, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky." Chen Yuxiang didn't refute, glanced at the gate of the camp, and sneered: "The name of Yang Hou is Yang Ye, so young, he has such strength and literary name. There is also a man named Yang Ye in our barracks, but it's a pity that he can't even carry shoes for others, which is really embarrassing. ”
"Forget it, isn't Yuxiang Yang Ye already softened. The blood on people's faces that have been bitten by you is still not satisfied.
A sister persuaded.
Zhang Nannan looked at the resentful girl with a grudge on her face, and said with a smile: "It's not that she's not dissatisfied, but she's too satisfied, and she still wants to bite again." You don't notice that this girl is angry all night, angry with everyone, but her eyes are always wandering to the door to see if someone has come back. ”
Chen Yuxiang didn't blush, and snorted coldly: "I'm waiting for that kid to come back and humiliate him, who makes him not ashamed to call Yang Ye, it's just insulting the name of that Yang Ye, hum." ”
