In the main hall of Yunfu, Xia Jingyun met Concubine De, who had already heard of the name countless times.

How to put it is very much in line with the conclusion that he has always insisted on analyzing the problem from the basic principle.

In a feudal dynasty with a population of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, it is impossible for the emperor to choose a woman to be around him.

Unless the emperor himself has a more unique taste.

As he used to read some unpopular tabloids, in the last years of a certain dynasty, how ugly the photos of those concubines were, as if the emperor was punished every night when he turned over the cards, he didn't believe it, because it didn't conform to the most basic principles.

The woman in front of him at this moment was so beautiful that he could almost imagine it.

Guose Tianxiang, this word that has been used rotten, he found someone worthy of it for the first time.

He bowed and saluted, stretched to the ground, and shouted in his mouth, "Grass people Xia Jingyun to meet Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an!" ”

Concubine De Yun Qingzhu's face did not show joy and anger, there was no indifference, no arrogance, only complete calm, "Xia Jingyun, are you guilty?" ”

Xia Jingyun had no choice but to continue to bow his waist, "The grass people have always obeyed the law and helped others, I don't know what the crime is?" ”

"Let's be flat."

Concubine De ordered lightly, and then looked at his very handsome cheeks, "Are you pretending to be stupid?" ”

Asking like this, Xia Jingyun really couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he had to speak: "Back to Niangniang's words, the old lady loves talents, so she values the grass people, but she really doesn't mean to deliberately deceive and deceive, and the grass people and Feng are even more innocent, and there is no collusion." What's more, the grass people are not such clever words, the manuscripts can be proven, the poems can be supported, and everyone can rely on them. ”

"Oh?"

Concubine De raised her eyebrows lightly, "You are very confident in your own abilities?" ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Hmm! ”

"What kind of ability?"

Are you driving....... Xia Jingyun, who has seen some bad plots, still has the leisure to think about it at this moment, but he is indeed bold enough.

"Write poetry."

Being bold does not mean being reckless, he still chose the safest one.

Concubine De smiled lightly, and she was full of charms, which instantly made Xia Jingyun's heart flutter, and she hurriedly collected her mind.

"Then let's make a bet, this palace has a problem, if you can do something that satisfies this palace, this palace will believe that you have real talent and real learning, and we will not hold you accountable for bewitching this palace's father and satisfying your selfish desires."

Xia Jingyun thought about it and nodded decisively.

Fan Yuejiao, the female official on the side, sneered in her heart, because of Feng Xiuyun's relationship, she even hoped that this Xia Jingyun would be unlucky as soon as possible.

There are so many talented people in Zhongjing, and there are few of them who are eye-catching, just like this, who is a little famous in a remote place, wants to impress Concubine De Niangniang, it is simply a fool's dream!

Besides, in the end, I was not satisfied, and it was not just a matter of my mother's words, what a stupid hillbilly.

Xia Jingyun didn't have time to speculate on the thoughts of people like Fan Yuejiao, his brain was spinning rapidly at the moment, guessing what kind of question Concubine De would give.

"Let's take the title of Kuamotonomiya for its beauty!"

"Clams?"

"What? Don't dare? Concubine De glanced at him, her expression seemed a little smug and as if she was mocking, "Do you think this palace will give you some ordinary questions, so that you can present the poems you have made a long time ago?" ”

Xia Jingyun suddenly smiled, "Niangniang, please borrow a pen and paper for the grass people." ”

Concubine De nodded, Fan Yuejiao went down to order, and soon someone carried the table and set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Niangniang, it's ugly."

Saying that, he stood in front of the table, took a deep breath, and the momentum of the whole person slowly subsided, although his body was thin, he had a calm bearing.

Pick up the pen, dip it in ink, lick it lightly on the inkstone a few times, and then put the pen down.

"Yuejiao, he writes a sentence, and you read it to the palace."

"Yes."

Fan Yuejiao stood beside Xia Jingyun and watched him finish writing the first line, and was suddenly stunned.

"Huh?" Concubine De snorted lightly.

She woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Yun wants clothes, flowers want to look." ”

Concubine De's expression was unmoved, but in her beautiful eyes, she was full of brilliance.

Fan Yuejiao continued: "The spring breeze blows Revlon. ”

She swallowed her saliva, just these two sentences were enough to satisfy the mother.

Damn, this shit is really that talented?

Feng Xiuyun, that cheap woman, why.

If I had known that I had come early, would it be me who met him?

While thinking, she continued to read: "If it weren't for the Jade Mountain. ”

"I will meet Yaotai under the moon."

"Gone?" Concubine De seems to be a little unsatisfied.

Fan Yuejiao shook her head and said, "It's gone." ”

Unlike Xia Jingyun's previous two poems, this time, Concubine De seemed to have no reaction at all, the slight ripples on her face disappeared instantly, and she returned to her previous calm, "Yuejiao, what do you think of this poem?" ”

Fan Yuejiao thought for a while, "If you go back to Niangniang, the rest is okay, but there is one point, now it is autumn, but the spring breeze is written, which is not in line with the situation, and it is inevitable that it is far-fetched." ”

Xia Jingyun directly retorted: "Niangniang's spring is in full bloom, which is not only a praise for Niangniang's words, but also the theme of spring, where is the depression of autumn, the loneliness of winter, what is your heart!" But curse the mother! ”

Fan Yuejiao hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Niangniang forgive your sins!" The slave has no such intention! ”

Concubine De waved her hand, "It's okay, what this palace asked you to say, I won't blame you for your words." Let's all go down, Xia Jingyun stays. ”

Fan Yuejiao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xia Jingyun, and retreated unwillingly.

Now there are only Concubine De and Xia Jingyun left in the house, as well as the old lady who has been standing next to Concubine De, silently and without moving like a stone statue.

"Xia Jingyun, this palace asks you a question, do you think this palace is worried?"

Xia Jingyun hurriedly said: "Niangniang's country is fragrant, the saint is long, and she is raising the prince, and the position is stable, so why worry." ”

Concubine De looked at him, "Give you another chance, have you figured out if you want to answer like this." ”

Xia Jingyun was stunned for an instant, is this really a test?

He observed Concubine De's expression, but didn't see any clues.

Damn, bet! Horizontal and vertical will not die.

He hesitated: "The grass people dare to ask Niangniang a question." ”

"Say."

"How is Donggong's character ability?"

As soon as these words came out, the old grandmother, who had been silent like a stone statue, looked sideways for the first time, glanced at Xia Jingyun, and there seemed to be a trace of surprise in her eyes.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, how can I evaluate the East Palace. That's it, I won't make it difficult for you. ”

Concubine De was noncommittal, waved her hand in a smile, and looked at Xia Jingyun, "Finally, let me ask you a question, what do you want to say to this palace?" ”

The mother is so beautiful......

Of course, this is impossible to say, Xia Jingyun bowed deeply, "Thank you for your love." ”

Concubine De suddenly laughed, the first time she smiled less dignified, not so restrained, but more like a living person.

"This palace punished Feng Xiuyun, and even released words to punish you, causing you to panic like losing your home...... Do you still thank this palace? ”

Xia Jingyun said respectfully: "Thank you Niangniang for letting me know how many people around me are hypocritical and gather for profit, and how many people are true friends." ”

Concubine De blinked her beautiful eyes, her thick and interlaced eyelashes were closed, as if a tight heart opened a gap that flashed away a little bit, "You mean, this palace is not angry with you, but is helping you by acting like this?" ”

"When I first learned the news, I was very frightened, and no one could keep calm in front of Niangniang's Tianwei."

Xia Jingyun first sent a sycophant, and then said: "But I forced myself to calm down and think about it, even if Niangniang really thinks so about me, will she risk destroying the warmth of reuniting with the old lady after a long absence, and take me down as soon as I arrive in Jiang'an?" All I can take away from the old lady is some money and small profits, which are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the mother, how can it be compared to making the old lady happy! ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, I can't rub sand in my eyes, so there are countless ways to deal with an unknown junior like me, there are countless ways to make me unable to make waves, there is no need to use this most sad way for the old lady, so I just wonder if Niangniang has another purpose. After all, Niangniang can stand out in the treacherous harem, and the means are by no means so simple. Last night's news shouldn't have been spread, and it shouldn't have spread so quickly, the grass people were even more sure of their suspicions. ”

"And when I came here, saw the true face of my mother, was deeply impressed by your elegance and dignity, and felt close and admiration from the bottom of my heart, I finally really confirmed my inner guess."

In the end, Xia Jingyun sent it again and called it a day.

The smile on Concubine De's face was no longer hidden, and the hall was full of color, "Isn't it a clever word?" ”

"What the grass people say is from the bottom of their hearts and sincere."

Concubine De got up slowly, stood upright, elegant and generous, and took the steps of upside down beings, "When you stand in a good position, looking down, there are all supporters, all humble smiling faces, but behind these smiling faces, how many ghosts are hidden, no one can fully know." But you just need to know that they are not so genuinely good to you. ”

"Just like this trip to the main palace, from the harem to the court, from Zhongjing City to Surabaya Prefecture, how many people want me to die on the road. Along the way, the team has encountered no less than ten attacks, large and small, and assassinations. But when the palace stood in front of them, there were still smiling faces of deference and admiration. ”

"If you want to go up, there are countless things that make you desperate and panic more than I am angry with you, and this palace hopes that you can still keep thinking like this, so calm, so that you can find that glimmer of life."

She looked at Xia Jingyun, "This palace also hopes that you can go up step by step, and finally stand higher and farther." If you look down on all beings, you must always be vigilant, not solid supporters, but bottomless abyss, and a pair of demonic hands that want to tear you off and replace them immediately. ”

"The grass people will live up to their mother's instructions!" Xia Jingyun agreed repeatedly, and then said with deep emotion: "How can the grass people have such high hopes for their mothers." ”

"You don't have to be so tempting."

Concubine De glanced at him, and the inadvertently revealed amorous charm almost sent Xia Jingyun away on the spot, "You can get the favor of Father Bengong and Uncle Su Shi at the same time, naturally extraordinary." They strongly recommend you like this palace, how can this palace not express it. You have made a word, two poems, and an article, and this palace has carefully read them, and there are indeed great talents, and what is even more rare is that it is not easy to have such extraordinary insights in the matter of governing the country. It is reasonable for this palace to look at you. ”

She slowly walked back to the couch and sat down, "But seeing is believing, this palace does have some thoughts about you, this poem is well written, if there is anything you want to do, this palace can satisfy you." ”

Xia Jingyun was excited, and finally waited for this day.

He lifted his robe and bowed his head, "The grass people's family was killed by a traitor, and they were sent to the family, and I hope that Niangniang will uphold justice for the grass people's family, and return my innocence, I can participate in the imperial examination and serve the country!" ”
