Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian lived in Anyang Marquis's Mansion like this. They went out to inspect shops during the day and came back to the mansion to rest at night. They rarely met people in the mansion.

This was Gao Zhijun's intention to confuse Anyang Hou and his men. In fact, she sent Tianlang, Polang and Huolang to secretly monitor everything in the Hou Mansion.

Huo Jinqian rarely left the courtyard of the Marquis's mansion. Except when Wei Mingxuan came to discuss academic matters with him, it was the Marquis of Anyang who showed false concern.

Madam Wei and the Marquis' wife, the prince's conspiracy could not escape Canglang's eyes. He told the conspiracy to Gao Zhijun. Gao Zhijun asked Tianlang and others to prepare, and then found an excuse to take Huo Jinqian out of the Marquis' Mansion to buy clothes and attend the family recognition banquet.

When Madam Wei and Madam Hou saw Huo Jinqian go out, they immediately ordered people to take action.

As expected, Huo Jinqian was assassinated while trying on clothes in the cloth shop. The assassin was captured by the lurking Canglang and his men, and Huo Jinqian was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion with serious injuries.

The Marquis's Mansion began to be in chaos, and the imperial physician was called in to treat Huo Jinqian.

Gao Zhijun entered the palace and quietly brought those people into the palace.

After being tortured by the clan officials, they confessed the truth. The emperor was furious and ordered the clan officials to keep a strict watch on them and not let them make any mistakes.

Gao Zhijun told the emperor her plan, and the emperor was very happy and told her to go ahead and do it.

Gao Zhijun gave the emperor a list of names, saying that the people on the list were the families of the ministers who had falsely accused her of having an affair with the emperor.

The emperor was furious and said he would punish them severely.

The imperial physician gave Huo Jinqian a critical illness notice, saying that Huo Jinqian might not wake up.

This news made the wife and old lady of the Marquis' Mansion very happy. They cried falsely and expressed their love for Huo Jinqian.

The news that Huo Jinqian couldn't wake up spread throughout the capital, and every household knew about it, and they all felt sorry for Huo Jinqian.

Marquis Anyang said that even if Huo Jinqian could not wake up, he was still his son, the eldest son of the Marquisate, and they would not give up on him. The family recognition banquet would remain unchanged and be held as usual.

Soon, the prime minister of Tatar arrived in the capital and went to the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor kept his promise and said that he would hold a banquet in the palace three days later to choose a husband for the ninth princess.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the ministers in the court became active and went to the inn with gifts to curry favor with the Ninth Princess.

Ever since the Ninth Princess learned that Huo Jinqian had become a vegetable and was in a coma, she did not believe it at first and sent guards to Anyang Marquis to find out the truth. Only after the guards came back and told her that Huo Jinqian was really in a coma did she give up on marrying Huo Jinqian.

Gao Zhijun secretly manipulated the situation to allow the Ninth Princess and Wei Mingchen to meet.

After Wei Mingchen's sweet talk and persistence, he finally won the favor of the Ninth Princess and she agreed to marry him.

Everything was going according to her plan, and Gao Zhijun was in a good mood.

During the day, she either went to the clinic to treat the people or went to shops to look after them.

At night, he went back to the Marquis' Mansion to take care of Huo Jinqian, but in fact he was telling him about the progress of the plan.

The day for the Ninth Princess to choose her husband has arrived!

The palace!

The Wenhua Hall was extremely lively. Many ministers' legitimate sons were here, and even merchants' legitimate sons came to participate.

"Today is the great day for the Ninth Princess to choose a husband. I am very happy to meet the talents of Daliang. This time, there are three competitions: literary test, talent test, and martial arts test. The winner can marry the Ninth Princess!"

The Emperor looked at the rows of young talents standing before his Highness, all of whom wanted to marry the Ninth Princess.

In order to avoid embarrassing the Tatars, candidates for the competition were between thirteen and thirty years old.

"According to the order!"

The young talents below said.

The ninth princess sat on the left, separated by a screen.

"The first round is the literary test! Whoever writes the best poem will win!"

The emperor has stated the rules.

The young talents below began to come forward and recite their own poems. Some of them were nonsense, while others were quite good.

"There is a cloud in the sky and a pile of shit on the ground. You are the cloud and I am the shit."

.........

"Geese, geese, geese, their necks are singing to the sky. Their white feathers float on the green water, and their red feet pull the clear waves."

...............

"Don't laugh at the muddy wine of the farmers; in a good year there are enough chickens and pigs to entertain guests. Mountains and rivers are so dense that you may think there is no way out, but when you look out, you will find another village. Flute and drums follow the spring, and the clothes are simple and ancient. From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon at leisure, you can knock on the door at any time of the night with a staff."

Wei Mingchen, the son of Anyang Marquis, recited the poem.

"What a wonderful line! After so many twists and turns, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village. What a great poem! What a great poem! Your Highness is so talented!"

The emperor praised Wei Mingchen. He knew, of course, that the poem was written by the princess and had someone copy it for Wei Mingchen in order to let him marry the ninth princess.

"Your Highness is so talented, I admire you!"

"Brother Wei is truly talented and has created such a masterpiece. I admire him!"

…………

The young talents in the hall praised Wei Mingchen's talent and all of them were willing to admit defeat.

All of this was arranged by Gao Zhijun. Gao Zhijun also had someone secretly give the poem to Wei Mingchen in order to help him win the first place in the first competition.

How can this poem be bad? It was written by Lu You of the Song Dynasty.

The Ninth Princess also liked this poem very much and felt that Wei Mingchen was a talented and intelligent gentleman.

The prime minister was also very satisfied with Wei Mingchen. He thought that such a young man was a perfect match for the princess.

"Since everyone feels inferior to him, Wei Mingchen, the Prince of Wei, wins this literary test!"

The emperor gave the final word on the result.

"Round 2, talent show!"

"Start now!"

The emperor was talking about the second round of the competition.
