Chapter 464 She Lost Another Game of Chess
The weeping willows by the river have already germinated, and in the light gathered by the lights of thousands of houses, they hang down on the riverside to face the river breeze.
The surface of the river is dotted with fire and starlight, sparkling and refracting, which looks like a dark river full of stars from a distance.
Feng Qingbai led the woman out of the carriage, and like the young men and women in pairs around him, walked slowly on the river bank, feeling the wind in the spring night, watching the river view in the spring night.
Enjoy the mood that only each other can understand.
"In a few days it will be the show girl election," Liu Yusheng bit his lip, hooking his finger, "Feng Qingbai, do you already have a way to deal with it?"
Concubine Liu's roster of beautiful girls still has her name.
Feng Qingbai tilted his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your name won't appear there again."
"Why?" Feng Qingbai hasn't done anything yet, how could Concubine Liu give up her calculations?
"Because you are now the Yunzhou Disaster Relief Ambassador, and you have collected countless gifts from the people."
Liu Yusheng asked immediately, "Prestige?"
"Fame." She clasped her rebellious fingers and interlocked them into ten fingers. "A famous doctor who has saved countless lives, and a kind person who relieved the worries of the disaster-stricken people. If such a woman is trapped in the harem, the people of the world will not agree."
"That's why you and Xiao Feng'er issued such an imperial edict back then, to build momentum for me?"
Feng Qingbai nodded, "Although I haven't achieved what I want for the time being, it's enough to deal with Concubine Liu."
"Concubine Liu is the main candidate to preside over the election of beautiful girls. If she insists on going her own way and decides to let me enter the palace, then the Liu family will be hated and shameless by the people. What the ruler fears most is losing popular support. Thinking about it, I will never dare to embarrass me again." Liu Yusheng understood immediately.
"Shengsheng, smart." He praised her.
Liu Yusheng wrinkled her little nose, "How can a prince be smart, plan a strategy, everything is under your control."
When she had just started, he had already counted the next ten steps.
Compared with him, she is insignificant.
Don't dare to be ugly.
The man chuckled, completely accepting her sour compliment.
The lake breeze blows over from time to time, swinging weeping willows and messing up the broken hair on the girl's cheeks.
The spring night in the capital was still slightly chilly, and he noticed that the girl shrank slightly, so he took her into his arms, opened his outer robe and included her in it.
Ignoring the sideways glances of men and women passing by, they hugged each other like this, quietly watching the river and the lights on the other side of the river, savoring this Ningxin that belongs to them alone.
The imperial palace, Qingning Palace, more than ten miles away, was not peaceful at this time.
"What did you say?" Concubine Liu was originally lying lazily reclining on the soft bed, but when she heard the security guard in front of her, she sat up suddenly, and her indifferent face suddenly sank.
"Public opinion has been uploaded to heaven, and it will reach the emperor within two days at the most. Liu Yusheng, the head of Ruyi County, is benevolent in medicine, compassion and kindness. He does not use a single cent of the imperial court to relieve the suffering and worries of the people. He is supported by the people, collectively expresses his feelings, and implores the present to be commended.
The man who spoke was tall and tall, with a black cloak on his body, wrapped tightly, and the corner of his chin exposed under the wide brim of his hat was a feature.
"Public opinion? What public opinion! What people support! It's ridiculous!" Concubine Liu gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with coldness, "Find a way for me to intercept the petition letter!"
"It can't be intercepted. The Nanling King's soldiers are divided into three escorts. It is not known where the petition letter is. Moreover, the Nanling King has been waiting for us to make a move. As long as we make a move, the dark forces will be exposed."
"Feng Qingbai, it's Feng Qingbai again! In this way, how can I design Liu Yusheng to enter the palace—" Concubine Liu paused, and then gritted her teeth, "No wonder he proposed to designate the Ruyi County Lord as a disaster relief ambassador. When the ministers objected, he used the immobility of the court as a bait to lure all the officials to support him. His real purpose is here!"
Feng Qingbai's purpose is to create momentum for Liu Yusheng!
There was an imperial decree from the emperor to personally appoint him as the disaster relief ambassador, and no one dared to refuse to facilitate the dealings with Yu government officials during the disaster relief.
The door of convenience has been opened, Liu Yusheng has medical skills, a winery, and wine making skills! There is a money family behind it!
With these alone, I can't do anything I want to do!
Dongfeng is equipped, and the momentum is rising!
It is impossible for her to trap Liu Yusheng with the palace!
Unless she is willing to give up all possibilities of the Liu family line in the future!
She took out the booklet that recorded the roster of the show women's general election, held it in her hand and opened it, and the three words Liu Yusheng written in Zanhua Xiaokai were in her eyes at this time, which was a great irony!
"Crash!" A few times, that page of paper was torn to shreds and thrown on the ground.
Concubine Liu's chest heaved violently, her eyes were full of misery, "What a Feng Qingbai, what a Liu Yusheng!"
She lost another game of chess!
Even before she even picked up the chess piece, she was blocked with no way out, and suffered a complete defeat!
"The concubine calm down, this way is blocked, and I will find another way. Don't get angry, I will leave first." The voice of the man in black was flat and emotionless, neither respect nor disrespect could be heard.
Concubine Liu did not answer, she sat on the soft bed and tried her best to suppress her bursting anger.
The man in black turned and retreated.
That night, a little servant girl in Qingning Palace was killed with a stick because she accidentally made a noise while waiting for the concubine to fall asleep.
For the next few days, all the servants in Qingning Palace trembled and did not dare to touch Concubine Liu's bad luck.
Three days later, the show girl election began.
The list of beautiful women posted on the city gate wall does not have Liu Yusheng's name.
Later, when the draft girl enters the palace, remember to stay in the other courtyard of the harem, waiting for the general election.
The whole process lasted for three full days. During these three days, several elders of the Liu family and Liu Yusheng stayed in the palace and did not leave the gate.
Although she was certain that Concubine Liu would not try to let her run for election again, Liu Yusheng did not dare to relax until the last moment. ,
The most fearful thing is that there will be side branches.
Three days later, more than 200 show girls who failed the selection were sent back to their original places one after another.
More than 20 people were selected.
At this point, the draft that has worried the Liu family for several months has been settled.
Liu Yusheng successfully avoided a calculation.
After the general election, Liu Zhixia's letter of appointment also came down, temporarily serving as an editor of the Imperial Academy, and a sixth-rank official residence.
It is an idle job, except for compiling and compiling books, it has no real power.
However, the Hanlin Academy is known as the "Prime Minister". Once the people here are reused, they will be promoted very quickly.
The imperial court also allocated a mansion for Liu Zhixia. In the capital, Liu Zhixia had begun to gain a foothold.
At this time, it has been nearly a month since Fu Yuzheng left the palace.
A storeroom in the palace was full of marriage engagement items purchased by Mrs. Liu and Chen Xiulan during this period.
From small decorations, cloth, wedding clothing, to large tables, chairs and cabinets, etc., everything is available.
