Chapter 70 Perfection

The scene where Concubine Shu presented the question, because the question was too perfunctory and not interesting, not only ended quickly, but also did not cause much trouble.

It doesn't mean that there is too much disturbance, of course there is still some disturbance: this disturbance still has something to do with Princess Zhaoqing.

As the host of the literary society, she generally commented on everyone's works.

Since it is a comment, there are praises and derogations.

Zhaoqing has a flamboyant personality, and always only cares about herself in her actions and words, and rarely considers other people's senses and decency.

But this essay meeting is more important after all, and Yun Fenghuang had asked for something in private, so she restrained herself a lot today, thinking that it was really an exaggeration. I feel bad, although I said a few times, but I said it was my own.

For example, the second princess, the master of Jinxi County, the seventh prince, and the ninth prince... just seem fair.

These few also said hello in advance, and today they are entrusted, and they didn't take it seriously.

For example, Princess Jinxi acted coquettishly to Zhaoqing in public, saying that Zhaoqing was unfair: "Although today's writing is not very good, it is much better than the previous one! I didn't even care to write the wrong word before, Zhaoqing Sister Qing also said that I am not good, so what should I be rewarded for?"

Zhaoqing was amused by her, and said, "Sure, what do you want me to reward you for?"

"I see that the bowl of fruit in front of my sister is not bad." Jin Xi said, "I want the two freshest water chestnuts, will my sister give me?"

"What kind of good thing is this worth mentioning?" Zhao Qing smiled and waved his hands, and said, "I will ask someone to send you some more later. If there is anything else you like, just say it in the future."

The mother and concubine had explained that Jinxi wanted to give them things like basic necessities, food, shelter, and transportation.

Not because she is Xie Fuwang's fiancée, but because she is the blood of Emperor Xiaozong.

Anyway, after giving it away, go to Chunjia to act like a baby. Apart from Chunjia's praise, she is determined not to let her child be truly wronged.

And Zhaoqing was very generous after confirming that although the concubine mother was full of enthusiasm for Princess Jinxi, the one who really loved her more in her heart was herself.

Just joking around like this, in Zhaoqing's view, Concubine Shu's test is over.

She asked people to change the table for the guests, intending to take a short rest, so she unpacked her mother and concubine's bag.

At this time, upstairs in Zezhi, the empresses and concubines all showed appalling expressions.

... Taking advantage of this break, many people got up and left the table to change their clothes later.

Thus, the male guests who had just been praised by Princess Zhaoqing were besieged as expected.

It was still Koch who took the lead.

Ke He was not usually angry at the moment. If it weren't for the concept of monarchs and ministers that he had been taught since he was a child, he would have wanted to ask the concubine and the others face to face if they had any grudges against their generals' children? ? ?

Concubine De's topic before, at least gave them a chance to perform the sword dance.

It's just that the military generals who pay attention to actual combat don't think carefully, and they don't expect to learn some fancy routines suitable for performing on the stage...

Concubine Shu just now deserves to be from the scholarly family, but she favors the same scholar family, and did not give them a way to survive for the children of generals!

Yes, Koch's poems are of the kind that Zhao Qing didn't even mention.

If it weren't for Yun Fenghuang's warning in advance, Zhaoqing would even hang it out for everyone to laugh at...

There is no way to do this. Originally, on such occasions, every family would provide support to their children.

The staff betting on the questions, preparing the poems and answers to the guessing questions in advance, let them memorize them, so that they can cheat when the time comes... these are the basic operations.

The key is that Ning Guogong does not want to marry the royal family!

He didn't even want his grandchildren to come to the feast.

Under such circumstances, how could he be expected to help his grandchildren make cheat sheets?

Originally, the children of military generals, from the beginning of Kaimeng, focused their energy on horseback riding and archery, and marching formations. When it comes to this kind of skills that show off the limelight at the literary meeting, they naturally lost a bit.

Then the children of the scholarly and prominent family have been specially trained at home and have prepared countless answers to the guessing questions. It would be strange if Koch could do it well!

Poor child fell in love with Zhaoqing at first sight a few years ago, and he has been thinking about it until now. He didn't know how much effort and struggle he had put in to go to the banquet. As a result, at the banquet today, he heard the princess praise the son of Yun who had just arrived, and he was jealous The turmoil was surging, but he was forcibly suppressed by the concubine, and he could only watch Yun Tao return the table as if nothing had happened... Well, Yun Tao was still called away after all, and he hasn't come back so far.

The point is, in Concubine Shu's scene, Princess Zhaoqing did not praise him!

Not only was there no him, but Koch paid close attention to Zhaoqing's every move, so he could see clearly: Zhaoqing frowned subconsciously when he saw his works.

I wanted to say something at first, but was gently pushed by the second princess next to me with a round fan, and put it aside calmly.

At that moment, Koch's heart was completely chilled!

At his age, he is extremely protective of the girl he likes, so the shame and anger under this kind of blow will never attack Zhaoqing anyway.

First of all, Ke He hated Concubine Shu.

If it wasn't for Cui Shi who saw the sky and recited some sour poems, she wouldn't have raised a concubine Cui Shu who was only thinking about reciting poems and writing lyrics, regardless of the safety of the frontier fortress, and the children of generals!

So all of this is Concubine Cui Shu's fault!

But no matter how bad Concubine Shu is, she is also one of the four concubines. It is said that she has a good relationship with Yun Fenghuang, his prospective mother-in-law. After all, Ke He did not dare to openly criticize Cui Lianye, so he down-to-earth chose the target of his anger as being Those who praised...

"Young master Ke joined forces with several noble sons and surrounded the young masters who were praised just now in the abbot." The palace man reported with a wry smile, "Mr. Ke said that it would be fine if they won by virtue of their real talents and learning, but they all It was the family who helped find someone to catch the knife, not only was it invincible, but it was obviously deliberately deceiving the ladies and highnesses... Mr. Ke said that those people and their family must give an explanation!"

The veins on the queen's forehead twitched, and she said: "Nonsense. Today's topic is all privately given by people like me in the palace, and it has never been leaked, so why talk about it? Go tell that Koch, he is thinking too much. Tell him not to mess around, it will be the imperial concubine's question later, instead of thinking about it now, they might as well go back to the banquet to calm down and behave well."

The palace man whispered, "But Mr. Ke has evidence."

"Where did he get the evidence?" Yun Fenghuang was surprised this time, "Did someone bring a note or something?"

It's not impossible, after all, the body search for entering the palace for a banquet is different from the body search for entering the imperial examination.

The former is mainly to confirm that the visitor is not carrying anything that may threaten the court dignitaries.

As for the cheat sheet and the like, it is not included.

The problem is that a young man can't memorize even a few answers. How poor is his aptitude?

Furthermore, such an occasion as a banquet is not an examination room, where one person stays in a room, no entering and leaving, no whispering, no whispering... Even if you can't memorize it, can you let the servant girl help you to take a peek in front of me? Is it okay to use an excuse to change clothes and sharpen your guns in the back?

All of this was caught by Koch, how stupid is this?

"...That's not true, but it was exposed by the same generation in the clan." The palace man said awkwardly, "It seems that the brothers and sisters usually have quite a rivalry at home, and today the one who won the praise of the princess, whose poems are the staff At that time, his younger siblings also fell in love with it. But in the end they couldn't compete. It should be out of anger at the moment, so they told Mr. Ke privately. Mr. Ke then felt that since this person used tricks to Those who get His Highness's approval, the others reckoned that they are right, so they blocked all those who got His Highness's approval!"

There seems to be nothing wrong with this logic.

People like the queen don't need to ask the bottom line, they can guess, unless there is a peerless poetic talent among these people, otherwise the winner today must not be their own talent.

It's a contest of staff behind the scenes.

The problem is that this kind of tacit understanding, which is an unspoken rule, is originally inconvenient to announce.

Ke He was furious and insisted on going online, but he couldn't say he was wrong...

This is a bit difficult to deal with.

Support is not opposition, the queen thought for a while, and said decisively: "Your concubine, you are in charge of organizing the banquet today, what do you want to do?"

Anyway, she couldn't think of any suitable way to deal with it, so she better leave it to Yun Fenghuang to have a headache.

"These young men are more worried than one. This Ke He is worthy of being the queen of the gate. Seeing the chaos in the sky, there is no time to stop." Yun Fenghuang sighed, and beckoned Chi E, "Go and tell He said, now go back to the banquet honestly, as if nothing happened to Bengong Quan. Otherwise, Bengong will send someone to tell Zhaoqing right now that he can't afford to lose."

When the concubines heard this, they looked at her with strange faces.

You are a majestic concubine, and you use the young boy's adoring heart to threaten you, are you embarrassed?

Yun Fenghuang felt that there was nothing embarrassing about it, it was the kid who liked her Zhaoqing, and it wasn't her Zhaoqing who wanted to downgrade this kid, so if she spoke, how dare this kid be dishonest?

But when Koch first heard this, he felt it was unfair, and said angrily, "Did you tell the imperial concubine that these people cheated?"

"Your Majesty knew about it early in the morning." Chi E looked at him with a smile, "This is a method agreed upon by the disciples of the high school, but I didn't expect the young master to be so honest, that he would do it by himself... Your Majesty also said just now, the young master's this time Even though he lost, it was not a crime of war. It’s just that the young master came here immediately and refused to let him go... It’s meaningless.”

Ke He took a deep breath, held back his anger and said, "I'm not relentless, I just want to seek justice!"

"My lord, please forgive my servant and maidservant for bluntly speaking, if you continue to make trouble like this, besides ruining the literary meeting hosted by His Highness, what is the use?" Chi E said softly, "Don't forget that His Highness is still waiting to tear down the brocade of the imperial concubine and empress." As for the bag, the imperial concubine has been thinking hard about today's topic for a long time. In the end, there was no chance to appear on the stage, and the banquet was interrupted! It is true that the empress is an elder, and she will not care about juniors like the son. But your highness I have never been the most filial to my empress, you say, when the time comes, His Highness will still have a good impression of you?"

"My son..." Ke He would definitely make Zhaoqing dislike him, so he hesitated.

The original anger and resentment of injustice also quickly subsided.

Chi E hit the iron while it was hot, and said: "My mother has always taught Your Highness that no one is perfect. The so-called talented and flawless characters, the only one I have seen in my life is Your Majesty. !Other people may be excellent in some aspects, but they must also have flaws in other aspects. This is all human nature. Even the empress herself, and Your Highness, are not perfect..."

"Your Highness Zhaoqing is fine with everything!" Ke He couldn't help retorting.

Having said this, Chi E was startled, and looked at the kid carefully, but saw Ke He's face was serious, obviously he really thought so.
