my wife is queen

Chapter 26
Princess Shouning, who had been criticized by Li Mian and Sun Chuanting, sat on the tiger-footed Jinrong couch, and used her usual tricks of temptation. She liked to throw money and beauties to make others submit to her, and she especially liked to see some decent scholars break their heads. In order to be high-spirited and virtuous, bowing one's knees in front of her often gives a great sense of satisfaction.

One of the most famous incidents in recent years was to seduce an old monk to return to secular life, and the woman he married was still a aunt.

Princess Shouning opened a small cabinet with a few dowry compartments, took out a piece of gold-stamped red paper, used lacquered gold as ink, and wrote the words "Liu Rushi", and handed it to Xi'er, the personal maid: "Go and tell the young masters below, whoever is like you?" If you can win the laurels of this Lantai Poetry Festival, you can sit on Liu Rushi's pleasure boat and listen to the music."

Xi'er took the red paper and walked down the corridor to the bottom of the red camphor wood boat, with a somewhat superior voice in the palace: "My princess said that the top winner of this Lantai Poetry Festival can go there Liu Rushi's pleasure boat painting."

Officials, gentry, and gifted scholars were instantly in high spirits, and a piece of red paper made everyone in the red camphor wood boat feel utilitarian.

Princess Shouning resorted to tricks, and suddenly it became a vanity fair, undercurrents surged, and many people harbored intrigue.

Some of the officials and gentry immediately dispatched their entourage to leave the big red camphor wood boat, and regardless of whether the famous poet who was good at poetry had fallen asleep, they knocked on the door with a large sum of money and bought a famous poem. Good article.

For a while, it caused a scene of expensive poetry in the capital.

A masterpiece of poetry that usually costs 200 taels of silver was sold for a high price of 500 taels of silver in less than one night.

Among them, several long followers even offered a high price of 800 taels of silver. While the masters were dumbfounded, they also felt that it was reasonable. The owner of the pleasure boat was Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi was originally Qinhuai Bayan, and was later brought to the capital by his master. Every year, Liu Rushi was listed in Cao Dazhang's "Yandu Prostitutes Preface", and was always second only to Chen Yuanyuan's female list.

It's not that her body and appearance are not as good as Chen Yuanyuan's. The first-class beauty in "The Preface to the Prostitutes in Yandu" is almost the same in her beauty and beauty.

The difference in fame and status is arranged according to the amount of silver earned each year.

Chen Yuanyuan was the first to become famous and had the most benefactors who were willing to reward silver, so she became the No.

Since Chen Yuanyuan redeemed her body, Liu Rushi has become the most valuable Qinhuai Bayan by the Jinshui River, but she still regards herself as the second best female champion, leaving the reputation of the number one female champion to Chen Yuanyuan, who was once a legendary actress by the Jinshui River.

The young masters that Princess Shouning used a piece of paper to lure were undercurrents. Originally, there were only a few masterpieces, but after only a few minutes of incense sticks, the young masters seemed to have opened their eyes. Several masterpieces of high quality.

Passed it around in the hands of everyone, admiring the talent in the poems together, shaking their heads and commenting, admiring the rhyme and lofty artistic conception of the poems, and finally passed them on to Xi'er.

She will give it to Princess Shouning to make the final evaluation and select the best work of this Lantai Poetry Festival.

Sun Yifa was one of those who gave away 800 taels of silver. His family was a generation of bureaucrats, not as hypocritical as talented scholars, and his work habits were influenced by his parents' unscrupulous methods.

In the officialdom, a gentleman can't wear a black hat, and only old bureaucrats who use unscrupulous methods can get promoted step by step.

Sun Yifa opened the folding fan with a 'snap', fully aware of the unfairness of the Lantai Poetry Fair, and the person who made the final comment was not a respectable person like Sun Gongyuan who upholds justice.

Whose poem can win the first place depends on Princess Shouning. In this way, personal likes and dislikes are particularly important.

After Sun Yifa came to participate in the Lantai Poetry Conference, he roughly understood Princess Shouning's mind, and immediately sighed and said: "It is rare to have a prosperous night in the capital, but all the famous talents are present, but it is a pity One thing is lack of understanding of Yuan Gong Li Mian."

The attitude of talented scholars towards Li Mian is optional. When they met him at the Lantai Poetry Meeting, they mostly gave him a little bit of a nudge. It doesn't matter if they don't come.

As for the pity in Sun Yifa's words, it sounds ridiculous to the ears of officials and gentlemen, but it is ridiculous to the ears of talented scholars. Everyone knows that Li Mian's so-called Xie Yuangong got the favor of Emperor Jiazhen because of his luck. It turns out that he is just a poor scholar who is at the bottom.

How can there be much talent, even if he came to the Lantai Poetry Association, he should be laughable and generous.

Sun Yifa seemed to say a word for Li Mian, but it aroused the injustice in the hearts of talented scholars.

After ten years of hard study, they were not as lucky as someone else, which filled the hearts of talented scholars with resentment.

Talented scholars did not dare to blame Emperor Jiazhen, so they could only spread their grievances on Li Mian, who was born in a poor family, thinking that his existence was the biggest injustice and joke in the imperial examination.

Sun Yifa's remarks aroused the resentment and dissatisfaction of the talented scholars, and it was inevitable that they would utter a few complaints. It was nothing to say by one or two people. Most of the talented scholars were criticizing Li Mian for his lack of talent and virtue, which attracted attention.

Princess Shouning and the wits were only separated by a green curtain, and all kinds of angry and dissatisfied voices spread to the wing room.

Princess Shouning smiled, and achieved what she wanted to see. She was very satisfied with Sun Yifa who led the talented scholars to stand against Li Mian, and she already had the idea of ​​making his poem the first name in her heart.

Sun Yifa helped to achieve his goal, so naturally he had to give him some sweets, and let the officials and gentry know that she was generous.

If similar things happen in the future, Sun Yifa is not the only one who will stand up and help.

Compared with talented scholars standing on the opposite side of Li Mian, what makes Princess Shouning more satisfied is that all this lies in her lure methods.

The tried-and-tested temptation once again played a role, making her feel extremely satisfied.

Princess Shouning looked at Princess Changping next to her, and saw that her beautiful willow eyebrows were gradually twisted together, because Li Mian was targeted by talented scholars, and she couldn't sit still.

While Princess Shouning was in a happier mood, she also felt a little puzzled. She had heard about Li Mian and a hen paying homage.

Logically speaking, the relationship between Princess Changping and Li Mian is not very harmonious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are alienated.

How can there be displeasure because of Li Mian? People who don't know the inside story think that Princess Changping and Li Mian are a harmonious couple.

Princess Shouning sighed deliberately, and said sadly: "Father is really, actually marrying his daughter to a scholar with little talent and learning, and he was born from a poor and humble family."
