Rebirth as the post-GL

. "

Shen He sighed, feeling a little emotional, "Has it been ten years? Lan Jin, do you think I can trust you?"

"Husband!" Hearing this, Lan Jin knelt down fiercely, looked at Shen He with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Lan Jin followed you into the palace since childhood, if the husband can't trust Lan Jin, who else can he trust?" ?”

Shen He nodded in relief, and opened the black wooden box on the table. There were two white ceramic bottles inside. Shen He took out one of them and poured out the contents of the bottle. It was a red pill , looks very strange.

"This is?" Lan Jin glanced at the pill in Shen He's hand and asked.

"Steam powder, this is a kind of drug, colorless and tasteless, as long as it is put in food or tea and eaten by someone, then that person will lose consciousness and let others do whatever they want."

Shen He showed an indifferent smile, Shen Chen, this time, I will make you unable to stand up, not to die, not to survive!

"You find a way to dissolve this pill into water, put it into Shen Chen's meal or tea, watch him drink it, and then..."

Shen He told Lan Jin of his plan, and reached out to hand over the pill in his hand.

Lan Jin's hands trembled a little, held his breath, took the pill that Shen He handed over, carefully hid it in his clothes, then knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Shen He.

Shen He went on to say, "Don't let people suspect me, now the imperial husband Shen He is being grounded by the queen! Your relatives, I will let people take good care of them."

Lan Jin paused, and left without looking back.

Shen Chen and Cangwu Jingyuan were discussing matters in the palace, and soon it was time for dinner, and the maids came out one after another, and put plates of exquisite dishes on the table.

Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help twitching her index finger. She hadn't seen such a sumptuous meal in the deserted Qingqiu Palace before, so she picked up the chopsticks and was about to start.

"Hold on."

Shen Chen suddenly reached out to block Cangwu Jingyuan's chopsticks, and said to the maid beside him, "Go get a basin of water, let the princess wash her hands first."

The maids withdrew one after another, and Cangwu Jingyuan smelled an unusual aura from them.

"What? Is there something wrong with this meal?"

Shen Chen looked at the food in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth, "I thought he would wait a while before doing it, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient."

"Husband?"

Although Cangwu Jingyuan was using a questioning tone, she already had some calculations in her heart.

"What kind of poison did the emperor inject?"

Cangwu Jingyuan was a little curious about what kind of poison it was, anyway, she learned it from Shen Chen for a few days, but she didn't see the poison, so it must not be an ordinary poison.

"This is stewed powder."

Chapter 20

Shen Chen thought it was a little funny. When he was studying pharmacy, the most widely used poison and medicine was stewed powder.

Although the stewed powder is colorless and tasteless, for him who is familiar with the stewed powder, this meal is really just short of writing "I'm poisonous" on the bowl.

Stewed powder?Cangwu Jingyuan recalled the function of this poison in her heart, and her face sank. Shen He did not use the poison directly, but used the colorless and odorless poison that is difficult for ordinary people to detect. It seems that I want to direct a good show!

"What do you mean?" Thinking of Shen Chen's move to send the maid away, Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes lit up. Is this a trick?

Shen Chen didn't respond directly to Cangwu Jingyuan, but took out a white pill from his sleeve and handed it over, "This is the antidote for Wen San, you take it first."

Cangwu Jingyuan knew that Shen Chen was thinking about it, so he stopped talking and took the antidote Shen Chen handed over.

At this moment, the maid who went to serve the water also came back, and the two of them pretended that nothing had happened, and after cleaning their hands, they began to eat as normal.

Seeing that the two of them started eating without the slightest doubt, Lan Jin, who was mixed up with a kind of court lady, was immediately relieved, with a sinister smile on his lips, and stood aside quietly waiting to watch the show.

Cangwu Jingyuan and Shen Chen ate the food pretending to be unaware, and asked people to collect the rest of the food.

The maids left with bowls and plates in their hands, only Lan Jin stood motionless at the door, Shen Chen turned his head and glanced at Lan Jin, and found that she was very strange, definitely not from his palace, but her expression was still calm , frowned and said: "Didn't you all go out? What are you still doing here?"

Lan Jin raised her head, said with a cold smile, "Your Majesty will understand what I want to do in a while." After saying that, she stepped towards Shen Chen.

Shen Chen opened his mouth, but he fell down powerlessly without saying anything, and so did Cangwu Jingyuan beside him.

Lan Jin showed a smug smile, "What kind of gentleman is nothing more than that, but it's far worse than the emperor's husband!"

Lan Jin looked at the two fallen in front of him, and a bold idea came to his mind, didn't the imperial husband want her to create the noble harem?If she put Cangwu Jingyuan and noble gentleman together, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

Lifting the unconscious Shen Chen, Lan Jin dragged him into the inner room, and then dragged Cangwu Jingyuan into the room.

But what Lan Jin didn't expect was that just as she was about to take off Cangwu Jingyuan's clothes, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by her.

Lan Jin was startled, but turned her head to see Cangwu Jingyuan opened her eyes, and one hand was tightly clutching her wrist.

Knowing that the poisoning had been discovered, Lan Jin raised her leg and kicked Cangwu Jingyuan. Her martial arts foundation is very good, and she kicked it. Although Cangwu Jingyuan stretched out her hand to block it, she was still shocked by her. Seeing that Lan Jin was about to run away, Shen Chen also sat up in time, stepped forward and caught her easily.

The sound of fighting in the room had already alarmed the guards in Chaoyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan looked at the guards pouring into the palace and said in a deep voice: "This maid framed you and even poisoned the food, go invite Your Majesty the Empress over here."

The guards who had been on duty in the palace for a long time had long been accustomed to poisoning and framing. Now several people suppressed Lan Jin to prevent her from escaping, and the rest of the guards rushed to inform the queen.

The matter was a big deal, and after a while, the Kung Fu Queen and Bai Qian rushed over.

After asking the whole story, the queen was so furious that she ordered the guards to directly press the maid to the prison for torture.

Cangwu Jingyuan saw that Lan Jin was taken down by the guards, and her so-called mother was holding Shen Chen to ask for warmth, and regarded herself as nothing, so she lost the interest in continuing to stay here.

They exchanged glances with Bai Qian and they left Shen Chen's bedroom.

As soon as she got out of Shenchen's dormitory, Bai Qian grabbed Cangwu Jingyuan and asked in a deep voice, "Jingyuan, accidents happened one after another today, what's going on?"

Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes were calm, although she had some guesses in her heart, she was not sure, so she shook her head.

Cangwu Jingyuan was framed one after another, Bai Qian was furious in her heart, clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her brows had not been relaxed since she just stepped into Chaoyang Palace.

Seeing her clenched lips, Cangwu Jingyuan held Bai Qian's hand, and opened her tightly clenched hand. Sure enough, she saw a row of fingernail marks on her white and tender palm, and raised her hand unceremoniously. Bai Qian knocked on the forehead, and Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes flashed a touch of pity: "Isn't today's incident already avoided by me and your lord? It can be regarded as a near miss, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." gone."

Looking at Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes stained with distress, Bai Qian's heart trembled slightly, although she was still worried, she still nodded.

Holding Bai Qian's hand, Cangwu Jingyuan looked towards Shen Chen's bedroom with calm eyes, waiting for the results of the interrogation whether this matter was really done by that person as he had guessed.

But after a while, the queen's announcement came out, and the maid still didn't reveal half of the news after being tortured. No matter how stupid a person is, he will find out that there must be someone else behind it.

The matter involved a lot, and the empress ordered a thorough investigation. The servants did not dare to slack off in the slightest, but the maid was too tight-lipped, and she was tortured once in prison, but she didn't reveal anything.

But what the empress meant at the moment was that Shen Chen was too lonely and tired here alone, and the empress happened to be interrogating the maid, so it was better to accompany him in Shen Chen's bedroom.

Shen Chen didn't say much, and replied coldly: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness, but I'm not feeling well, Empress, please go back."

The empress wanted to say something more, but she swallowed it when she saw Shen Chen's cold gaze, said a few words of consolation resentfully, and went back to the palace.

And Cangwu Jinxiu was frightened and panicked when she heard the bad news in the palace at this time, she was walking around in the courtyard uneasy, which made the emperor a little irritable.

"Don't panic." The imperial husband glanced at Cangwu Jinxiu and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that little maid still has something in our hands, she dare not betray us easily."

"Are you sure? If it leaks out, we will be finished!" Cangwu Jinxiu was pale at this time, the brocade handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn by her, and her lips were bloodless.

Seeing that Cangwu Jinxiu was so nervous, Shen He was very sure in his heart, the maid would not dare to joke about the lives of herself and her family, although their lives were not important, but if the Queen asked her to recruit them in advance, the consequences would be serious. Unbelievable.

He didn't delay any longer, and recruited the dark guards, and sneaked into the dark prison when the night was dark and the wind was high.

In the dark prison, the charcoal fire was crackling and the walls were covered with the cruelest instruments of torture, while Lan Jin was softly nailed to the wooden board.

Seeing the dark guard, Lan Jin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. His hair was covered with blood, and he looked like a ghost in hell.

Chapter 21

Seeing Lan Jin's horrible appearance, the dark guard seemed to be used to it, and said indifferently: "Keep your mouth shut, don't forget that your parents and your brother who is under ten years old are all in the hands of the emperor, you know what to do?" How to do it."

After saying a word, the dark guard left without any emotion.

Two lines of tears flowed from the corner of the maid's eyes, yes, her parents are still there, if she said it, her parents would...

Thinking of this, she tried her best to open her eyes wide, her heart was filled with grief, she bit the paper bag she had in her mouth and took poison to kill herself, and the hidden guard on the roof happened to see this scene through the uncovered tiles. leave.

The imperial husband in Fenghua Palace heard the report of the dark guard, nodded in satisfaction, and let the dark guard go down first, while he looked up at the crescent moon in mid-air, with a sinister smile on his lips, it seems that she still underestimated it Shen Chen and Cangwu Jingyuan are capable, but next time, they might not have such good luck!

Before dawn on the second day, Cangwu Jingyuan was lifted out of the bed by Bai Qian abruptly.

Drowsily looking at Bai Qian who was standing beside the bed, Cangwu Jingyuan stretched out his hand in a daze to wrap around Bai Qian's slender waist, arched her head in front of her chest, closed her eyes Want to keep sleeping.

Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan's head arched against her chest, her blushing face blushed, she pushed her away a little and looked at her and said, "Jingyuan don't sleep, do you know what day it is today?"

Hearing Bai Qian's question, Cangwu Jingyuan managed to wake up a bit, thought for a while and muttered: "Today is not a holiday! It's not your birthday or something..."

Shaking his head helplessly, Bai Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you forget that you promised Shen Ye to attend the Peony Poetry Fair outside the palace three days ago? When I came here to give you clothes just now, I saw that he was also heading towards Chaoyang Palace coming."

From Bai Qian's words, Cangwu Jingyuan could clearly hear a bit of sourness, a bright smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her lips, she looked at Bai Qian and joked, "My prime minister looks like this, but are you jealous?"

With a flush on Bai Qian's face, she stretched out her hand and tapped Cangwu Jingyuan's forehead, pretending to be angry and said, "Get up and wash up! I know you will definitely get up late today, and I will bring you a I bought some steamed dumplings, and you can eat them while they are hot after you wash up. Also, today's Peony Poetry will be different, so don't dress too casually. A few days ago, I asked the tailor in the palace to make a new dress for you. And sent it over, you will remember to wear it later."

Listening to Bai Qian's thoughtful instructions to help him arrange everything, Cangwu Jingyuan's eyes gradually softened, and her heart was filled with warmth. Wrapping around Bai Qian's waist, she deliberately said coquettishly: "Today, the peony poem will meet you. Don’t you want to participate too? Why can’t you go with me?”

Rubbing Cangwu Jingyuan's head, Bai Qian couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, and said in a gentle voice: "The Queen invited me to be the judge of this Peony Poetry Festival, and there are still some things that need to be dealt with. You go first, I will Come later, okay?"

Knowing that she is not valued by the empress, she is definitely not among the accompanying princesses, so Cangwu Jingyuan stopped talking, nodded and sent Bai Qian out of her bedroom, and began to wash and dress up under the service of Luhe.

The clothes that Bai Qian prepared for Cangwu Jingyuan were a light green brocade dress, which was simple and elegant, which was in line with the status of the royal family, and it was not too ostentatious, which showed Bai Qian's carefulness.

After tidying up, the maid outside opened the door and entered the hall, saluted Cangwu Jingyuan, handed over an exquisite invitation card with red background and gold border in her hand, and said respectfully: "Princess, this is sent by the queen." Yes, ask the slave to deliver this item to the princess."

Cangwu Jingyuan nodded, took the invitation and opened it, and at a glance she knew it was the invitation of the Peony Poetry Club.

The queen likes writing, so this poetry meeting is held every year, and all adult princesses and princes in the palace must participate.In addition, the poetry meeting also invites the sons and daughters of famous families in Beijing, as well as some well-known literati in the Jianghu to appreciate flowers and poems. This time, Cangwu Jingyuan has already reached the age, so he must participate in this poetry meeting.

Cangwu Jingyuan put down the invitation card in her hand, and frowned slightly. The matter of poisoning yesterday can only be put aside for now. The most important thing now is to find a way to deal with this peony poetry meeting. There is also action, she has to be on guard at all times.

After simply tidying up, Cangwu Jingyuan took Qinghe out of the palace, but just stepped out of the palace gate, but saw Shen Ye waiting outside the palace not far away.

If possible, Cangwu Jingyuan really didn't want to have any contact with him, seeing that he was standing far away, she walked directly towards the direction of leaving the palace.

But after taking a few steps, Shen Ye ran up to him and grabbed his wrist, Cangwu Jingyuan frowned unobtrusively, Shen Ye seemed to realize that it was a bit impolite, and then let go of Cangwu Jingyuan.

"What's the matter?" Cangwu Jingyuan's tone was indifferent, which made Shen Ye a little confused about her attitude. Isn't it rumored that she likes him very much?Suspicion was deep in his heart, Shen Ye didn't show it, and said with a slight smile: "To show my sincerity, I came here specially to pick up the princess to the Peony Poetry Festival, can I show you some face?"

"Don't dare, it should be Jing Yuan's honor that Mr. Shen came here in person." Cangwu Jing Yuan curled her lips, doing all the courtesy she should have, but there was no joy in her eyes.

Cangwu Jingyuan's attitude made Shen Ye even more confused, but he didn't say much, and politely let the palace attendant Cangwu Jingyuan get into the carriage, and then he himself got into the carriage.

The carriage slowly drove towards the outside of the palace. Shen Ye deliberately said some interesting things outside the palace in order to ease the atmosphere. Cangwu Jingyuan also responded, and although his tone was not enthusiastic, it was not cold.

Shen Ye has also been observing Cangwu Jingyuan's expression, but found that her expression is indifferent and has no intention of getting close to him. Shen Ye is surprised, and his curiosity about Cangwu Jingyuan has increased.

The carriage drove all the way and finally arrived at the peony garden outside the palace. The two got off the carriage one after another and went straight to the peony garden.

Since Cangwu Jingyuan received the invitation card very late, when she arrived at the Peony Garden, there were already many princes, princesses, and literati gathered in the garden.

The appearance of the general's son Shen Ye immediately attracted everyone's attention, but when everyone saw Cangwu Jingyuan beside him, their eyes were full of surprise.

The third princess, Cangwu Lingxue, looked at the two of Shen Ye who stepped into the garden side by side, smiled secretly, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cangwu Jinxiu, who was beside her with a livid face, and said, "When did this Cangwu Jingyuan and Shen Ye have such a good relationship?" And you, as Shen Ye's younger sister, don't even know? When will you become your sister-in-law in the future..."

When Cangwu Jinxiu heard the words, her eyes widened in an instant, "That bitch still wants to climb into our Shen family? Just dream!"

After saying a word, Cangwu Jinxiu walked directly in front of Shen Ye and the two of them, and raised her voice to question: "Cousin, why did you come here with this shameless bitch?"

Seeing that his cousin, who has always been arrogant and domineering and defiant, made insulting remarks as soon as she came over, Shen Ye frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor tried his best to help you avoid confinement and get the opportunity to participate in the Peony Poetry Festival today. Are you planning to be rejected again?" Is it possible to send him back to the palace?"

Cangwu Jinxiu may dare to be arrogant in front of others, but she is very restrained in front of her cousin Shen Ye. She knows very well that her father's current prominent position in the court is mainly due to her general uncle, and Shen Ye is even more arrogant. No matter how stupid she is, she knows that the Shen family's hope for prosperity in the future cannot offend him.

Seeing that Shen Ye obviously wanted to protect Cangwu Jingyuan, although Cangwu Jinxiu was so angry that she wanted to step forward and tear Cangwu Jingyuan apart, she could only grit her teeth and leave.

Cangwu Jingyuan frowned slightly in displeasure, and was looking for an opportunity to hide from Shen Ye, but saw Bai Qian at the gate of the peony garden. figure.

Seeing that her face was not very good-looking, Cangwu Jingyuan was about to go up to meet her, but saw the queen's figure.

"The queen is here." The father-in-law standing outside the peony garden shouted loudly, and the people who were still talking in the garden knelt down and saluted the queen.

The queen glanced at the people in the garden, raised her hands with a smile on her lips, and said warmly: "Today we come out to enjoy the flowers and recite poems, so you don't need to be too polite."

After finishing speaking, the empress went to the main seat and took the seat, and the Taifu began to read the procedure of the Peony Poetry Fair and related matters.

In this poetry competition, all the princes and princesses in the palace who have reached the age of the emperor participated, as well as the civil servants of the current dynasty and the literati of the rivers and lakes. In charge, the poetry meeting will last for three days, the first day is for everyone to refresh, the second day will officially start the poetry meeting, and the third day will be for viewing flowers.

Listening to the process of the competition system, everyone below is very nervous. Everyone wants to have a place in the eyes of the queen. Even if it is only sesame seeds, it will be of great benefit to their future.

Seeing that the Taifu had finished reading the process of the poetry meeting, the queen raised her voice: "Tomorrow the poetry meeting will officially start, everyone don't have to be cautious today, let's relax and play as much as you want!"

Seeing this, everyone below breathed a sigh of relief, watched the queen leave and dispersed in twos and threes.

Seeing Bai Qian leaving with the empress, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Bai Qian was the number one in the Peony Poetry Contest in the past years. This time, the empress specially asked her to attend as a judge. Naturally, she couldn't compete with herself as a contestant in public. Get in touch.

Thinking of this, Cangwu Jingyuan squinted her eyes. Since Bai Qian, who was ranked first in every poetry meeting three years ago, became a judge, the No. .1 is the third princess, Cangwu Lingxue, and the other princesses and princes couldn't even get the top ten positions.

The empress has always felt that there is no honor in this matter, but even so, there are still a group of people coveting the top three positions. After all, if they win the championship in this poetry meeting, they will definitely be valued by the empress, and the future official career will definitely go smoothly.

Cangwu Jingyuan shook her head, and stopped thinking about these messy things, took advantage of Shen Ye's opportunity to chat with other officials, and hid from the plague like a plague, and went down to the garden where she lived under the leadership of the maid in the garden.

Chapter 22

After a good night's dream, Cangwu Jingyuan washed and dressed under the service of Qinghe in the early morning of the second day, and rushed to the main garden of Peony Garden to participate in the poetry meeting.

Arriving at the venue, with the Queen's announcement, the Peony Conference officially began.

The literati from all walks of life are all very excited. The annual Peony Poetry Fair has finally kicked off, and today may be the day to decide their future official careers!

Cangwu Jingyuan curled her lips and smiled, has this day finally come?

At this time in the previous life, Cangwu Jinxiu could be said to have stole the limelight, not only winning the top spot, but also being married to Shen Ye, which can be said to have confirmed the position of the future empress dowager.However, he was co-designed by Cangwu Jinxiu and the third princess Cangwu Lingxue. He made a fool of himself in public at the venue, and was crowned the shameful title of the royal family with no talent or virtue.

Thinking about all the things in the previous life, Cangwu Jingyuan clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Although Cangwu Jingyuan was standing in an inconspicuous corner of the venue at this time, when she appeared, Bai Qian noticed it almost immediately, and the changes in Cangwu Jingyuan's expression at this time naturally fell into Bai Qian's eyes.

I used to get along with Cangwu Jingyuan day and night. Although Bai Qian knew that she had changed a lot recently, she had never seen her expression like this. She felt a sudden pain for unknown reasons. Having the opportunity to discuss matters related to the poetry fair with the ministers, he walked up to Cangwu Jingyuan and held out her hand that was in her sleeve.

A shallow gentle touch came, pulling Cangwu Jingyuan out of the bitter memories before rebirth.

Looking at the worried white eyes beside her, Cangwu Jingyuan curled the corners of her lips, and said softly, "Why are you down? You appeared as a judge today, aren't you afraid of being seen gossiping when you're with me?"

Bai Qian raised her hand to gently caress Cang Wu Jingyuan's eyes, frowned and said, "Seeing you like that just now, how can I be a judge with peace of mind? What happened?"

Cangwu Jingyuan looked at Bai Qian and suddenly said seriously: "If I said that Cangwu Jinxiu already knew the proposition of this poetry meeting, would you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian was obviously taken aback, and said in a deep voice: "The title of this poetry meeting was set by the empress herself, and our judges only knew about the title this morning. How did Cangwu Jinxiu know about it?"

Cangwu Jingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "The imperial husband has always hoped that his daughter will become a phoenix. In order to make her shine in the poetry meeting, it shouldn't be difficult to steal a test question or something!"

Bai Qian frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"You'll know if you try it." Cangwu Jingyuan looked forward and showed a playful smile.

Although Bai Qian was curious about why Cangwu Jingyuan was so sure about this matter, she knew that the poetry meeting was about to start, and it was not suitable for her to stay here for a long time. Hearing her guess, Bai Qian nodded with calm eyes and looked After leaving the place where there were few people, he returned to the Queen's side.

Seeing that all the judges had gathered, the Empress asked the Taifu to read out the rules of the Peony Poetry Competition, and the poetry competition officially began.

Cangwu Jinxiu, who stood in the first place in the audience, listened to the Taifu talking about the relevant rules of the competition, his face was full of eagerness and complacency, and only waited for the rules of the competition to be read out, and the moment the Taifu announced the exam questions, he became a blockbuster. Got first.

In order to make herself more conspicuous, when the Taifu read out the competition specifications and the Queen asked who would be the first to come out for the written test, Cangwu Jinxiu was the first to raise her hand impatiently.

The queen did not expect her eldest daughter to be so motivated today, thinking that she must have been successful in studying hard in the palace recently, so she was very pleased that she led the first batch of 50 people to participate in the competition, and the third princess and Cang Wu Jing Yuan was also among the first batch.

Bai Qian, who was standing on the stand of the poetry meeting, saw Cangwu Jinxiu's performance in his eyes, and felt that Cangwu Jingyuan's conjecture might be true, she lowered her eyes and bowed to the queen, then got up and walked to the front of the stage He said to the first batch of participants below: "I am honored to be the first to give you a question. This first round of competition is couplets."

As she spoke, Bai Qian glanced at Cangwu Jinxiu who was standing in the first place below, and said, "The sea swallows the moon, the earth lifts the mountain, and the earth lifts the nine heavens."

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Qian uttered the Shanglian, Cangwu Jinxiu raised his hand, and said in a proud voice: "The sun rises, the moon sinks into the clouds, and the sun and moon reflect the mountains and rivers."

"Okay!" Before the judges could speak, the officials' children eager to flatter them clapped their hands and applauded.

The judges on the side also nodded appreciatively.

The emperor's husband is also full of joy when he sees this. Things are not going well these days. My daughter was imprisoned by the empress for insulting the nobleman the day before yesterday. I am afraid that the empress has criticized her a long time ago. If she can be in this poetry meeting today Winning the championship in one fell swoop last time won face for the royal family, and the queen will definitely spare her punishment regardless of previous suspicions.

Thinking of this, the emperor's face was also full of joy.

Bai Qian had made some judgments about what Cangwu Jingyuan said just now, nodded her head and continued to read the next couplet calmly: "Four lakes and four seas, a few words, it is difficult to make friends with one heart."

Cangwu Jinxiu's face was even more smug, and he raised his voice and replied: "Thousands of charming, perfect, I prefer half the city."

As soon as this sentence came out, not only the people below applauded, even the empress nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Cangwu Jinxiu was even more proud, turned her head and smiled provocatively at Cangwu Jingyuan, but she didn't know that Bai Qian on the stage was frowning at her.

Others may not know it, but it is impossible for Bai Qian, who is the accompanying reader, to not know the true level of Cangwu Jinxiu. This eldest princess spends all her daily efforts on dressing up and deceiving others, so how could she become full of knowledge all of a sudden?It seems that the conjecture that Jing Yuan said just now is true.

Bai Qian's eyes sank, she didn't continue to read the couplet, but went straight to the empress's side, approached and said a few words in a low voice.

The second round of the competition is poetry and songs, and the questioner still gives the previous sentence, and the answerer answers the next sentence.

After communicating with the queen, Bai Qian walked up to the audience and said, "The first question of poetry and poetry, 3000 beauties in the harem, please give the next sentence."

At that moment, Cangwu Jinxiu continued according to the order of the answers he had memorized: "The strong man will never return."

All the officials and disciples who were planning to speak flattery were stunned when they heard Cangwu Jinxiu's answer.

Bai Qian slightly narrowed her eyes, looked at Cangwu Jinxiu and repeated: "Eldest Princess, the title I asked was '3000 beauties in the harem'."

When Cangwu Jinxiu recited the answers, she thought that the questions must be written in order, so to save trouble, all she memorized were the answers to the questions, and she didn't know what the first sentence was.

At this moment, Cangwu Jinxiu heard Bai Qian repeating the question, thought she hadn't heard her answer clearly, so she straightened her neck and raised her voice: "I know! This princess is right about 'the strong man will never return'. "

The author has something to say: I really don’t know what to write in the summary, so I directly changed the painting style →_→, which just describes Cangwu Jinxiu. Do you like it? 233333

Chapter 23

"Pfft..." Finally, someone in the audience couldn't hold back a laugh, and this laughter spread like a fuse, and it spread in an instant, and one after another laughed from all around, and then turned into an uproar. laugh.Even Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't hold back, and covered her lips and laughed.

To be honest, the 3000 beauties in the harem never return to the strong man, but it seems to have a rhyme, which is so interesting.

Cangwu Jinxiu, who was in the first place, didn't know why everyone was laughing. He thought it was a compliment to himself, and his face froze when he heard the scholar announce that the other people's answers were correct.

Cautiously raising her head to look at the people in the jury, Cangwu Jinxiu found that her father was looking at her with frowning panicked, and the empress even lowered her face.

Cangwu Jinxiu didn't care about the wrong answer to this question, she just thought that she remembered the order wrong, anyway, she still had a chance later, and answering only one question wrong shouldn't affect her getting No.1.

However, when Cangwu Jinxiu saw Cangwu Jingyuan's rosy cheeks because of holding back her laughter, she immediately became furious.

In her mind, Cangwu Jingyuan is just a slut who doesn't even deserve to carry her shoes, but this slut who is inferior to her in every way dares to laugh at herself in public, she was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and give her a few slaps .

But right now this place is not a place for her to be arrogant after all, Cangwu Jinxiu could only endure it, glaring at the literati who were still laughing, and continued to listen to the questions.

"Laugh up to the sky and go out." Bai Qian had just finished reading the first half of the sentence, Cangwu Jinxiu saw that Cangwu Jingyuan seemed about to speak, so she hurriedly said, "An Neng can tell whether I am male or female."

Now even the well-educated Lu Ling and Cangwu Lingxue couldn't help laughing, and Cangwu Jingyuan laughed even more.

"You! You!" No matter how stupid Cangwu Jinxiu was, she understood that everyone was laughing at her at this time, and she was about to explode with anger. Unexpectedly, the queen's angry voice suddenly came, "The verse that the eldest princess said to the bull head Don't be right, don't let her be eliminated!"

Seeing that the queen was already angry, the imperial concubine at the side hurriedly got up and said to Cangwu Jinxiu with a livid face: "You don't have to step back!"

When the queen and her father spoke at the same time, the eldest princess who was still arrogant just now stomped her feet in shame and annoyance, covered her face and seemed to run away.

Seeing that the daughter who would only embarrass the royal family left, the empress sat down again, and said in a deep voice with a very ugly expression: "The game continues."

Fortunately, except for the little episode of Cangwu Jinxiu, the rest of them are all real talents.

Especially Cangwu Jingyuan, who responded brilliantly with the next few lines of poetry, and that appearance made the empress a little dazed for a while.

The empress once thought that the person most like her was the ice-snow and smart Cangwu Lingxue, but Jing Yuan's performance today, her smooth and calm answers, reminded Cangwu Lingshuang that she was so heroic and energetic many years ago.

As for the third princess, Cangwu Lingxue, she never expected that the fourth sister, who had no sense of presence in the Royal Family No. [-], would one day be able to stand with her and become her opponent. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must win her , but there is no dew on the face.

But Cangwu Jingyuan on the side was thinking about another thing. Since she has successfully prevented Cangwu Jinxiu from showing off and has also gained the Queen's attention, it is not appropriate to show her edge too much. After all, with her current status Excessive performance will only backfire and get yourself into trouble.

Thinking of this, Cangwu Jingyuan pretended to lose to Cangwu Lingxue in the next poem commentary, and cupped her hands with a smile: "The third sister is so talented, and Jing Yuan is willing to bow down to her."

After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan walked aside, but when passing by Cangwu Lingxue, Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly turned her head slightly, and whispered something in her ear: "Mother wants to come Xiwen is thick and inkling, how could this festival be without her?"

Hearing this, Cangwu Lingxue was stunned for a moment, and before she could recover, Cangwu Jingyuan backed away with a smile.

"My future prime minister, how am I doing today?" As soon as she got off the stage, Cangwu Jingyuan rubbed against Bai Qian, with a flattering and obedient look on her face, not at all as elegant as she was in the poetry meeting just now.

Bai Qian looked at Cangwu Jingyuan who was approaching, raised her hand and tapped her on the forehead, raised her eyebrows and said, "Did you also ask your nobleman to steal the questions for you, otherwise why are you so powerful today?"

"How dare I? I'm afraid that you will break your leg before you even open your mouth. The good result in today's competition is the result of my hard work during this period of time."

Before Bai Qian could ask any more questions, Cangwu Jingyuan pretended to be wronged and said, "I came to Peony Garden early today, and I just spent a long time on the stage thinking, but I am hungry and tired now, and now I have to be punished by you." Lesson, is there anyone more pitiful than me in this world?"

"You're still acting like a baby when you're so grown up." Bai Qian smiled dotingly, took out a small paper bag from her purse, opened it carefully, and a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafted out, "I know you don't have breakfast. If you are not used to it, I will bring you some pastries from the palace, and you will fill your belly first."

Cangwu Jingyuan was not too polite, picked it up and took a bite, said vaguely while eating, "What did you do at Cangwu Jinxiu just now?"

He took a teapot from the table beside him and poured a cup of tea for Cangwu Jingyuan. Bai Qian then said, "I just told the queen in private that it would be more fair to break up the test questions and select them randomly. The queen agreed."

Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly thought of the inappropriate poem that Cangwu Jinxiu had just presented at the poetry meeting, and said with a smile on the corner of her lips: "Only people like Cangwu Jinxiu would only memorize the next sentence and not read it."
