I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"My son knows far more than you imagined, so you don't have to try any more, just tell me directly if you have anything to say. Otherwise, my son will leave."

"Son, wait a minute"

Xin Jiuniang's eyes kept changing.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, that concubine told you the truth, in fact, the reason why this concubine entered the palace and became Princess Qing was all planned and arranged by that old demon."

Sure enough!

"Then you are willing to listen to it?"

"My lord thinks that my concubine is greedy for the glory and wealth of this palace?

Xin Jiuniang's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes

"The concubine originally had a husband-in-law and a child, and our family of three lived happily.

Who knows who knows that the old demon somehow stared at me.

It took my husband-in-law and child away, and used it as a threat to let me marry into Prince Qing's Mansion as it ordered, and said that when it was done, it would reunite our family.

I am not the only one who has been victimized. This old demon has controlled many people with similar methods.

In order for us to work for it wholeheartedly, every few months, we would take turns secretly bringing our family members to the capital to have a look at each other.

In the past few years, I have been trying to find a place to be detained.

Once I find it, even if I die, I will rescue my husband-in-law and my poor child."

"Anything like that?"

Hearing what Xin Jiuniang said, Gu Ming's mood became a little heavy.

From this point of view, it is really not an easy task to deal with this centipede spirit, this guy has too many tricks.

"It asked you to marry into the palace. What is the purpose? To control Prince Qing?"

"Well, it controls many ministers in a similar way, and its power and prestige in the court are growing. Most of those who dare to question it and resist it will not end well.

In the past, there were a few Taoists in the capital who seemed to have doubts about its origin, but in the end they were all under the black hand of that old demon."

"Does your natal family know? Why don't you ask your natal family for help?"

Xin Jiuniang smiled wryly and shook her head: "I don't want to drag my parents and all the sisters down. The strength of that centipede is really terrifying."

"Then you are going to drag me into the water as an outsider?"

Gu Ming had a meaningful expression.

"No, no, I just think that the son is completely different from others.

The important thing is that you are highly valued by the emperor, and when the exam is over, the emperor will definitely use you again.

At that time, you will inevitably be targeted by that old demon, either you will join forces with him, or be harmed by him. "

Gu Ming smiled: "You really care about my affairs."

Xin Jiuniang sighed: "To tell you the truth, I made a divination before, and the divination showed that there will be noble people to help you if you hit it.

According to all the signs foreshadowed by the hexagram, I believe that"

As soon as she said this, Xin Jiuniang's face suddenly changed, and she said anxiously: "The prince is here, and I will come to you to talk about it."

After speaking, the figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, and sat by the pond again in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, those maidservants also woke up from the state of trance

Chapter 188 Young Master is like a pearl in the dark night...

"See Your Majesty"

"My lord, why are you here?"

Xin Jiuniang went forward pretending to be surprised.

"Hehe, I heard that the portrait of my concubine is here, so this king came here to see if this is Gu Jieyuan?"

Gu Ming stepped forward and gave a salute: "Go back to the lord, I'm right here."

"This king has long heard that Gu Jieyuan is a talented scholar, and he is a well-known talent in the south of the Yangtze River. When I saw him today, he is indeed handsome and heroic."

From the looks of it, Lord Qing is probably over sixty years old, so he's only in this frame.

Gu Ming said modestly: "My lord has won the prize, I'm just a junior, how can I compare to my heroic appearance?"

"Hahaha, Gu Jieyuan doesn't need to be modest, what I say is from the bottom of my heart Hey, this painting is really good, it's so good, dear concubine, come and take a look."

Xin Jiuniang had seen it a long time ago, but she also pretended not to have seen it and walked forward, and said with joy, "Gu Jieyuan is really versatile, I never thought that Danqing is also a unique prince, you have to reward him heavily. "

As soon as my concubine acted like a baby, Prince Qing immediately laughed heartily: "Hahaha, since my concubine has opened her mouth, I certainly can't appear petty. Butler Lu, hurry up and pay 100 taels of gold to the tent."

"Yes, my lord!"

It seems that Prince Qing is also a person who understands painting, coupled with the mentality of loving Wu and Wu, he stood in front of the painting and kept admiring: "Unexpectedly, Gu Jieyuan is not only good at Zhang, but also so good at Danqing.

The brushwork is delicate and the brows are expressive, it makes the king's concubine look like a fairy."

"My lord, you clearly dislike this concubine for not being as beautiful as in the painting"

"No, no, this king is just, just"

Prince Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment.

To say it is more beautiful than the one in the painting, isn't it a metaphor that Gu Ming is not good?

Gu Ming took the initiative to save the siege: "My lord, the lord actually praised you for being more beautiful than a fairy!"

"Hahaha, Gu Jieyuan is indeed a famous talent, but this painting seems to be missing something?"

"What the lord said is that the concubine thought that there was a poem missing in the painting."

This woman is quite good at flirting.

Prince Qing nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I wonder if it is convenient for Gu Xie Yuanfang to add a few more sentences?"

What's so inconvenient about this, for Gu Ming, it's just something that comes at hand.

So on the spot, I wrote a poem that I once recited in Gusu Mansion: There is a beautiful person, who came here from heaven.The face is like Wanyan, and the eyebrows are like distant mountains.It is as quiet as autumn orchids, and it is picturesque to view.It moves like a spring swallow, just like flying into the sky. "

"Okay, that's great, this poem, this painting, coupled with Aifei's beauty, is a perfect match!

As far as this painting is concerned, it is much better than those painters in the palace. "

"My lord, the prize is too much. There are many masters of Danqing in the palace. How can I compare it with you?"

"Gu Jieyuan doesn't need to underestimate himself, the level of those painters in the palace is very clear to the king, and he will definitely not be able to draw such a good work."

Their painting skills can only be said to be quite satisfactory, without any special features.

And Gu Jieyuan, your painting really shows the charm of this king's beloved concubine."

Although these words are suspected of coaxing the princess to be happy, they are still telling the truth.

The painters in the imperial palace were very limited, and it was difficult to show their true level. Over time, an inherent pattern was formed, and it was difficult to make progress.

Afterwards, under the gracious invitation of Prince Qing, Gu Ming stayed in the palace for a few drinks and enjoyed the wonderful performance of the palace singer.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or Lord Qing's deliberate arrangement, one of the singers made a special trip to sing a golden song: When will the water melody song head bright moon come.

"When is the bright moon? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it?"

This poem can be said to have become popular all over the country.

At least, in the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, almost every girl in the yard can sing.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the golden song of the year.

"Gu Jieyuan, what do you think when you hear this song?"

Prince Qing asked cheerfully.

"This prince has a heart, and I thank you here."

"This king will tell you a secret. The last time the emperor hosted a group of old ministers, he specially arranged this song and lyrics."

The meaning is self-evident.

When it was dark, Gu Ming returned to the inn in the palace's carriage.

Although this trip experienced a little unhappiness, the final harvest was quite good.

In addition to the 100 taels of gold rewarded by Prince Qing, he also received a sticker of Prince Qing's name.

With this name sticker, you can visit the palace at any time in the future, and at the same time, it can be regarded as an extra amulet.

At least, for now, this amulet is still somewhat useful, it can deter some villains who are about to move.

For example, the little prince is afraid that he will not dare to mess around again.

However, Gu Ming did not regard this name sticker as a talisman.

To put it bluntly, if you want to survive in this troubled world, you still have to rely on your own strength in the end.

How strong is the strength, there is a strong circle.

At present, the imperial examination is an important part, and Gu Ming must pass the imperial examination to take a big step towards success.

In order to concentrate and not be disturbed by others, after discussing with Gu Ming, Ma Yun and others, the four of them simply moved out of the Fortune Inn, and found another humble inn to study hard behind closed doors for the final sprint.

This night, the night is deep.

Gu Ming was still reading at night with the lamp on in his room.

"peel"

The door suddenly slammed twice.

"Who?"

Gu Ming raised his head and gave a soft drink.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the room suddenly darkened, and a familiar fragrance came over him.

The door was not opened, the window was not opened, but Xin Jiuniang appeared in the room out of thin air.

"It's you?"

"Why? Don't you miss him, Young Master?"

Xin Jiuniang started acting like a demon again.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Young master is like a bright pearl in the dark night, no matter where you hide, people can see it."

Gu Ming: ""

Seeing Gu Ming's speechless expression, Xin Jiuniang couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling coquettishly.

Afterwards, his expression changed: "Okay, stop joking with the young master, I came to see you tonight because I want to continue the topic from last time."

"That's right, you should know a lot of secrets about that old demon."

Xin Jiuniang sighed: "Actually, it's not too much. That old demon is very cunning. If you really want to know its many secrets, you may die soon."

"Then tell me everything you know, it's better than being in the dark."

Xin Jiuniang sat down by herself, raised her hand, and a faint light flashed and disappeared.

"Okay, now I'm not afraid of someone eavesdropping. As far as I know, there is another empress in the palace who is also a demon."

"Oh? That old demon doesn't even let go of the inner palace?"

"Of course, I can't tell how many eyeliners it has planted in the capital. So, you must be careful in the future.

Although the emperor appreciates your talent, if you hear too much slander, you will inevitably do some stupid things. "

"Well, thank you Jiu Niang for reminding me."

"You don't have to thank me, if I help you, I'm also helping myself.

I hope that one day, you can stand up to that old demon.At that time, I don't expect anything extravagant, I just hope that you can find a way to rescue my husband and my child."

When she said this, Xin Jiuniang seemed a little sad, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Although this woman's words cannot be fully believed, Gu Ming can feel that the behavior at this moment should be an expression of true feelings.
