Chapter 12 A Eunuch Can Participate in a Poetry Meeting?
The years have not left the slightest trace on her face, she and Qing'er are like two sisters, and the two girls are walking in front.
Zhao Wujiang followed behind, admiring the beautiful demeanor.
The three of them passed through the Daodao Palace and soon came to Qunfang Garden.
The gardens in Qunfang Garden are splendid, the flowers are vibrant, and the rockeries and artificial water are murmuring.
There is a more majestic pavilion in Qunfang Garden.
There were several figures talking in the pavilion, as if they were chatting very happily, and Zhao Wujiang could hear a few wisps of laughter not far away.
When it was closer, Zhao Wujiang saw it clearly.
Sitting on the top seat is a woman wearing a phoenix crown, graceful and luxurious, with a plump figure like a peach.
This should be the queen and queen...... Zhao Wujiang thought to himself.
Queen Wang is worthy of being the current lord of the harem, with an extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance.
Next to her was a woman wearing a peach-colored dress and a golden step, who was also stunning.
can sit next to the queen, it should be Concubine Xiao Shu...... Zhao Wujiang analysis.
At this moment, he quickly made a comparison in his heart: Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei are rare beauties, but they are still much worse than Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang's unique special temperament, coupled with her exquisite appearance, is completely glamorous.
Walking into the pavilion, Zhao Wujiang swept away without a trace, in addition to Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, there were also two concubines in green and red dresses.
Each of them has one or two talented people with good temperament and demeanor.
And the little eunuch and the maidservant were standing in the gazebo and waiting.
Zhao Wujiang immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Sure enough, a concubine in a big red dress was the first to speak.
"I have always heard that Wu Zhaoyi treats his subordinates kindly and generously, and today I see that this is really the case.
The maidservants and eunuchs can step into the Qunfang Pavilion without listening to the summons. ”
The meaning of the red-dressed concubine is obvious, that is, to ridicule Wu Meiniang for not understanding the rules.
Queen Wang watched coldly, while Concubine Xiao Shu and the other concubine in a green dress had gloating expressions on their faces.
Wu Meiniang sat on the other side of Queen Wang with an indifferent expression, drinking tea by herself.
Then he spoke: "What my sister said is very true, I can't compare to my sister with so many subordinates, and they are all so well-behaved."
I only have Qing'er and Xiao Zhaozi.
But they're not inferior.
Qing'er, the emperor was afraid that I would be lonely and bored in Zhaoyi Palace, so he specially transferred my sister of the same clan from my hometown to accompany me. ”
I see, no wonder I feel that Qing'er is different from ordinary personal maids, and it turns out to be a clan sister...... Zhao Wujiang glanced at Qing'er without a trace.
Wu Meiniang's red lips opened lightly, and then continued: "As for Xiao Zhaozi, although he is a little eunuch, he has good medical skills, and the emperor is afraid that I am ill, so he specially sent me to take care of it."
Alas, there are only two people around me, where can there be so many obedient subordinates than my sister. ”
Is it like this when the harem speaks directly? Wu Meiniang is showing off that she is favored by the emperor, and mocking the concubines in red dresses who have been snubbed...... Zhao Wujiang looked sideways, and sure enough, the red-dressed concubine trembled with anger.
"You! You—" She was so angry that she was short of breath, and she trembled and pointed at Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang was about to speak, but was interrupted by a slightly majestic voice.
I saw Queen Wang slap the table heavily and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Now that everyone has arrived, let's start the poetry meeting. ”
"That's what the queen said."
"That's what my sister said."
Queen Wang's eyes gestured to the red-dressed concubine who was gone, and then asked:
"In this harem poetry meeting, do you sisters play by themselves or send representatives to play?"
"Back to my sister, my Guishu Palace will send Lin Muzhou as a representative." Concubine Xiao said, and behind her was a young man in a blue robe.
Qing'er whispered in Zhao Wujiang's ear:
"Xiao Zhaozi, do you know who Lin Muzhou is?"
Zhao Wujiang shook his head.
"Hehe, I don't know, I know!" Qing'er straightened her proud little chest, "He told Chang'an two years ago, it seems that he is still a jinshi or something, anyway, many people call him Lin Caizi, but it's amazing." ”
Zhao Wujiang nodded, his expression indifferent.
Then, the two concubines in red and green dresses said that their representatives, one Zhang Caizi and the other Chen Caizi, are all talented people who are quite famous in Chang'an.
"Hmm." Queen Wang bowed slightly, and said: "This side of the palace is Cui Anshan of the Cui clan of Qinghe. ”
Zhao Wujiang looked at it, and behind Queen Wang, there was a man in white who was standing quietly, with a handsome appearance, holding a folding fan, and his demeanor was graceful.
"Wu Zhaoyi, what about you, are you your own representative?"
Wu Meiniang smiled brightly: "It was he who represented Zhaoyi Palace to participate in the poetry competition." ”
She pointed at Zhao Wujiang, "Little Zhaozi." ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became strange.
Is this a rush to the doctor...... Queen Wang always had a smile on the corner of her mouth, a majestic face, but the smile on her face at the moment was a little strange.
Xiao Shufei laughed out loud:
"Ouch, I said sister, if you can't find a talent, you just tell my sister that I'll do it, and my sister will lend you one... No... Isn't it okay for my sister to send you a few talents, why bother... Find a castration... Find a little eunuch, hehe. ”
Lin Muzhou behind her was even more disdainful and snorted coldly.
The green-dressed concubine covered her mouth and smiled, neither she nor the talented man surnamed Chen behind her spoke.
The red-dressed concubine sneered: "Wu Zhaoyi this time, I'm afraid I'm going to be at the bottom again, or else, Wu Zhaoyi will let the emperor send a talent to you?" ”
She took a sip of tea, her face was full of joy, she had been defeated in her words just now, and now she could finally taunt her directly.
The talented man surnamed Zhang looked at Zhao Wujiang with disdain and disdain.
Behind Queen Wang, Cui Anshan of Qinghe Cui's family spoke unceremoniously and directly:
"Can a eunuch participate in a poetry meeting? If the body is not complete, can the poems written be complete? ”
Wu Meiniang's expression was indifferent, but she was a little nervous in her heart, and she glanced at Zhao Wujiang with beautiful eyes.
Zhao Wujiang clasped his hands in his sleeves, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
He nodded to Wu Meiniang, signaling Wu Meiniang to rest assured.
Subsequently, Zhao Wujiang looked embarrassed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, a few talented people are right, the villain is indeed ... I don't know how to compose poetry, or we won't be this time..."
It's a rare opportunity to watch Wu Meiniang get slapped in the face and make a fool of herself, how can you give up a little eunuch...... The red-dressed concubine immediately spoke:
"Xiao Zhaozi, it's rare for Wu Zhaoyi to recommend you, you can't live up to her wishes.
Although you can rest assured to compose poetry, don't be afraid of not doing well, there are several knowledgeable and talented people present, and when the time comes, let them guide you, wouldn't you benefit a lot? ”
"Yes, if you don't do well, just ask, we will guide you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Lin Muzhou and Lin Caizi spoke.
A few talented people chimed in.
Zhao Wujiang scratched his head, embarrassed: "But... I am slow to write poetry, and I am afraid that I will delay your time. ”
