Chapter 48 Bian Chan
The emperor also smiled happily. The person who won the first prize was an important minister beside him. Naturally, he felt that he had a good face, so he promoted Lu Xingzhou on the spot and rewarded him with gold and a rice dumpling.

However, the emperor also rewarded those who were "lost", especially Bian Zan.

"A-Zan, you have lost a game this year, are you convinced?"

Bian Zan smiled freely, "The so-called victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, where there is a real victorious general, Zhonglang will have this talent, and my minister will be convinced.

It's just that the humble minister never asked about the secular world, and delved into such strange skills and ingenuity, which I thought no one could match.I didn't want to be inferior to people in everything, even these trivial skills were inferior to people. "

"Haha—you, you, I only think that you don't know how to reflect on yourself, and you know how to reflect before you realize it. This is a saving grace. It's just that you know how to reflect on yourself, but you don't change it, you should be punished." The emperor joked.

Bian Zan looked sullen, "Ah—although I have never won the championship, but I am No.2 after all. The Holy One is a wise monarch, so how can he not reward him but punish him instead?"

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing out loud, "You, you, when will you know how to control your temper, and you will be awarded the title in a year or two, don't let me down."

Seeing this, Bian Zan put on a more bitter face, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about for such a great festival? Why don't you talk about rewarding humble ministers."

After finishing speaking, Bian Zan looked eagerly at the stack of zongzi in Yuqian.

The emperor showed helplessness, and then asked someone to reward Bian Zan with a rice dumpling.

Bian Zan retreated with the zongzi in his hands, looking cynical.

Bian Zan is the heir son of the Prince of Fuyuan County. His father died young, so it stands to reason that he should have become a nobleman long ago.However, he was still young and thought he was unable to claim the title, so he asked to inherit the title when he became an adult, and Taizong agreed.

In addition to the Great Yin, there are three vassal kingdoms, which are Xirong, Nanyue and Dongyi.

The king of Xining guarded the northwest and defended against Xi Rong; the king of Fuyuan County guarded the southwest to fight against South Vietnam; the king of Ling guarded the east of the river and fought against the Dongyi.

It's just that the king of Xining is still here, but the king of Fuyuan County and the king of Ling have left the frontier one after another.

The mausoleum king is disabled, and the ones guarding Lingzhou now are the mother's cousin, Duke Run and his son.

As for the southwest, it is currently guarded by Bian Xu, the younger brother of the first Fuyuan County King, the Hussar General.

The general is extremely brave, and his military talent is no less than that of the late Fuyuan County King. He has contributed a lot to the stability of the border these years.

However, there were rumors that Bian Zan was young, and all of the Southwest Daquan was in the hands of the General Hussars. His uncle and nephew were at odds, and the Generals Hussars tried to steal the title and stand on his own.

It's just that Linyin didn't know much about the Bian family, so he didn't comment.

It's just that Bian Zan himself looks like a free landscape.He doesn't like reading, he likes landscapes, and he works in calligraphy and painting.Although it is idle, but the reputation is good.

The biggest shortcoming is probably that you don't want to make progress.

Linyin was very worried about whether he could defend the southwest.But think about it, she doesn't know if Bian Zan has this ability, but Bian Zan's uncle, the Hussar General, must have this ability.

After the dragon boat race, the emperor hosted a banquet in the Furong Garden.

In the Furong Garden, young men and women gathered together, exchanging orders, exchanging poems, throwing pots and shooting powder balls, which can be described as a lot of laughter.

Linyin didn't embarrass Du Guangji too much, and the two separated.

Ever since Lu Xingzhou won the championship, Linyin ordered people to pay close attention to Lu Xingzhou's movements.

Lu Xingzhou must have nothing to do with this matter, but Linyin is more concerned about who Lu Xingzhou colluded with.

Linyin seemed to be careless, but in fact he never took his eyes off him.

He didn't seem to like socializing with people very much, but he was able to communicate with the crowd with ease.He is the emperor's confidant and the princess' benefactor. He is humble, not as ostentatious as Cheng Ninghou's family, and the old and new nobles still give him face.

"Princess Changle." Just as Linyin was about to get up, a female voice came from beside her ear.

Linyin turned around and saw a young woman approaching, this woman was young and beautiful, with a woman's hair bun, obviously married not long ago.Looking at her face, she should also be some upstart.

"The concubine is Xiang Shi, the wife of Yu Shi Guo Shizhao." Xiang Shi said generously.

Linyin understands, Xiang Shi has always been the second prince's cousin, and the niece of Xiang Meiren in the palace.

Linyin was not familiar with Mrs. Xiang, but she was fairly familiar with Guo Shizhao.

He was so rigid, he didn't quite agree with her mother when she was in power, and he gave several advices.

In the affairs between her and Du Guangji, under her control, the public opinion was all in favor of her, only Guo Shizhao was extremely rigid.

Guo Shizhao actually felt that although Du Guangji was wrong in this matter, she would lose her wife's obedience if she ignored it.If it wasn't for his father being a meritorious official and a descendant of a family, and his mother being the county lord of Qinghe who once formed the army when Taizu raised the army, it would be impossible for her mother to tolerate him until now.

But she remembered that Guo Shizhao was 30 years old this year, his first wife died young, and he even had a son and daughter.

And the woman in front of her was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, young and beautiful, and her background was not bad.

The Xiang family made a lot of efforts when they ascended the throne today.Although it is intended to suppress today to ensure the status of the crown prince, but even so, the strength of the Xiang family should not be underestimated.

So why did Lady Xiang marry such an old man?

If you think about it for a while, you may know that it is the handwriting of the empress.

"What's the matter with Mrs. Xiang?" Linyin didn't have any malice towards Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang shook her head, "My concubine apologizes to the princess for my husband."

Linyin raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect Mrs. Xiang to say such a thing.

"Apologize?" Linyin seemed a little puzzled.

The two walked among the flowers, "The concubine's husband vainly discussed the princess, and the discussion was biased, and he was in vain as a censor, so the concubine came to plead guilty."

Linyin immediately understood what Mrs. Xiang said, which meant Guo Shizhao's impeachment of her.

Linyin didn't know what she meant by saying this to Madam, but at least she came here with good intentions on the surface. Linyin didn't have any malice towards such a person, so she smiled back.

"Since it's your husband's fault, why do you have to complain? Even if the husband and wife are one body, the husband and wife are two people after all, why bother to plead guilty for the sins of others?"

Mrs. Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly, and patted Linyin on the shoulder, "The princess is really extraordinary, different from ordinary people."

Linyin: "... Madam is also a hero among women."

After Linyin finished speaking, she gently patted Mrs. Xiang's hand away.

"It can't be said that he is a heroine among women?" Mrs. Xiang knew that she had lost her sense of proportion, and smiled lightly, but there was a little complexity in that smile.

As a pawn for the empress to balance the court, there are not many choices, so I can only make my life better.
