Immortality starts from eating melons in the cold palace

Chapter 51 Shaanxi is corrupted and the governor dies for his country

"Peanuts soaked in vinegar, spicy beef, and cold cucumbers. Eat slowly."

Xia Wan'er brought out the side dishes to go with the wine.

The plump and tall figure grows lotus every step of the way.

The graceful and luxurious temperament is like a peony in full bloom.

The moment Zhang Wenzheng saw Xia Waner, he was astonished and his eyes were in a trance.

"Chang Sheng, you have such a stunning wife, and you actually go to Chunfeng Tower."

Zhang Wenzheng looked like he hated iron.

Li Changsheng had a calm expression and chuckled.

"too strong."

"My wife can't bear it, there is nothing we can do."

Li Changsheng's words made Xia Waner roll her eyes.

"I really envy you for being able to marry such a beautiful woman."

Zhang Wenzheng's words were full of envy.

Li Changsheng took a sip of Spring Breeze Brew and said jokingly.

"Wen Zheng, you have won six yuan in a row and are famous all over the world. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to marry a beautiful woman?"

"no the same!"

"totally different!"

Zhang Wenzheng drank a few drinks and started talking.

"Do you know how I spent these two days?"

"The matchmaker almost broke through the threshold of my house."

"The ones introduced are all little bean sprouts who are fifteen or sixteen years old."

Zhang Wenzheng kept complaining.

Three years ago, he turned twenty.

He was considered an older leftover man in Dazhou, and Mr. Zhang had been arranging marriage arrangements for Zhang Wenzheng.

After observing filial piety for three years, he was unable to marry.

By the time he is named on the gold list, he is already twenty-three years old.

If you don’t marry a wife, you will be criticized by others.

Unless he quits officialdom and continues to be his romantic talent.

Li Changsheng could understand Zhang Wenzheng's depression.

In the past, at Chunfeng Tower, Zhang Wenzheng's favorite was always the plump-breasted, waisted and long-legged Sister Yu, and he would never touch a young girl who had just been combed.

According to the custom of the Zhou Dynasty, a woman gets married when she is fifteen or sixteen years old.

Naturally, her figure cannot be compared with that of a beautiful and mature woman like Xia Waner.

"I heard that Emperor Jingming wants to marry the princess to you."

"Tch—how can a princess be as good as a royal sister?"

"What's more, if you marry a princess, how can you join the cabinet? Rule the world? Show off your ambitions?"

Zhang Wenzheng shook his head repeatedly.

Regarding the attitude of the princess, avoid her like a snake or a scorpion.

In fact, not only Zhang Wenzheng, but also any scholar with the slightest ambition was unwilling to marry a princess.

"Oh - I can't do it without getting married!"

"It's just that how can a fifteen or sixteen year old girl do this?"

"Then marry him and raise him at home for ten years. Won't he be mature enough?"

The two drank for three rounds, and it wasn't until nightfall that Zhang Wenzheng went back drunk.

three days later.

Zhang Wenzheng joined the Hanlin Academy and became an official editor of the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy was the place where prime ministers were stored. All the prime ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had served as officials in the Hanlin Academy.

As time went by, the glory of winning six yuan in a row was quickly overshadowed by other hot spots.

Mr. Tao's sixtieth birthday is coming soon.

This news swept through the entire Zhou Dynasty like a storm.

All the respectable people planned to attend Tao Zhenren's sixtieth birthday.

Even an invitation can be sold for a sky-high price of ten thousand taels of silver on the black market.

What an eye-opener.

One month later.

Tao Zhenren's sixtieth birthday.

The mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons.

Outside the mansion, there was a lot of traffic.

The visiting carriages were lined up three miles away.

Such a lively scene directly shocked the people in the entire capital, and they were amazed.

Li Changsheng also sent Yu Xingtian to attend Tao Zhenren's sixtieth birthday.

It is impossible to give gifts.

But Li Changsheng didn't want to let go of the testimony of Tao Zhenren's sixtieth birthday. Tao Mansion.

"Prince Jin has arrived."

As the servant's voice sounded, the bustling mansion fell silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of whispering began one after another in the lobby.

"As expected of Master Tao, even His Royal Highness the King of Jin wants to come to celebrate his birthday."

"That's not true. Today's Tao Zhenren is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Folks jokingly call him nine thousand years old. Even the prince has to bow his head in front of him."

"I wonder if the prince will come to celebrate his birthday?"

"How is that possible? In the past few years, the prince has frequently impeached Tao Zhenren. How could he come to celebrate Tao Zhenren's birthday?"

Tao Zhenren did not care about the arrival of King Jin.

He stood up and took the initiative to greet King Jin.

"I have met His Highness King Jin."

"You're welcome, really!"

King Jin smiled with his hands empty.

"Zhenzhen, today the king has a great gift for Zhenzhen."

"To be called a great gift by His Highness Prince Jin must be extraordinary."

"Hahaha - Don't worry, Master Tao, I will definitely catch your eye."

After the words fell, King Jin clapped his hands.

A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, with willow-like eyebrows and eyes full of autumn water. Although she is young, she is already charming.

As soon as the girl appeared, there was a commotion.

What caused the commotion was not the girl's stunning appearance, but the girl's eyebrows, which were very similar to Princess Jin.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, this is..."

"Ma'am, this is my sister-in-law, Qi Silan."

"Silan has admired you, Master Tao, for a long time, and is willing to serve you tea and water, Master Tao."

"I would also like to ask you, Master, to accept Silan and understand Silan's wishes."

After King Jin finished speaking, Qi Silan Pingping took a step forward and bowed to Zhenren Tao.

"Silan begs the real person to take her in."

His tone was timid, but there was something indescribably gentle and touching that made people feel pity for him involuntarily.

Tao Zhenren's face moved slightly and he nodded.

"Since you have a heart, Miss Silan, then stay with me."

Tao Zhenren accepted Qi Silan.

Prince Jin looked at his sister-in-law's graceful back, with a hint of hidden regret flashing in his eyes.

His sister-in-law is even more beautiful than her sister.

Originally, King Jin planned to have two sisters, Ehuang and Nvying.

But for the sake of the grand plan, he had no choice but to wrong his second brother.

"So good!"

"In this way, you and I, Zhenmao, can be considered brothers-in-law."

King Jin's face was rosy and he was smiling.

As soon as these words came out, the guests present finally understood what King Jin was planning?
  Tao Zhenren's power is so overwhelming.

Even His Highness the King of Jin had to sacrifice his sister-in-law to win over Tao Zhenren.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, please invite me. Pindao has prepared fine wine for His Highness..."

[You witnessed Tao Zhenren’s sixtieth birthday, drawing on the power of time, witness points +30! 】

[You witnessed King Jin sending his sister-in-law away, drawing on the power of the years, witness points +50! 】

With two testimonial points in a row, today’s trip was indeed worthwhile.

Just now.

The sound of horse hooves came from far and near.

The sound was so urgent that it sounded like a hundred thousand people were in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, the people in the entire capital heard the messenger's loud shout.

"Three thousand miles urgent!"

Dust rises.

He rode straight into the imperial city, no one dared to stop him.

The urgent matter of Sanqianli fell into the ears of everyone present.

Everyone's heart sank.

The method of expediting three thousand miles is absolutely not something that can be used normally.

Every time it is used, it is an extremely important military situation.

Is there going to be a war?
  soon.

The news spread from the palace.

The land of Shaanxi was corrupted and the governor died for his country.
