Years of drama and become a concubine

Chapter 35 Failed Blind Date

The East Palace was so lively that it stopped within a few days. It is said that it was because the crown prince did not express his opinion at all. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to make an appointment with Qiu Zhenzhen, the daughter of Prime Minister Qiu Lingju.This Qiu Zhenzhen had already gained a lot of fame in the capital before she reached the age of Ji, she was born with picturesque features, she was charming in every way, and she was exquisite in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

A little story widely circulated in the capital goes like this: when she was 12 years old, her father Qiu Lingju wanted to give Cui He, a famous great poet, an authentic work by Gu Kaizhi in exchange for three of his poems to present to the Holy Majesty.Unfortunately, when his wife served tea, she spilled tea on the authentic painting, which made Qiu Lingju furious.Seeing her mother crying, the little girl calmly took a small stool and stood in front of the desk, and seriously took a picture of the original work, and it took less than three hours.Qiu Lingju was dumbfounded, he couldn't tell which of the two paintings was real and which was fake.The little girl grabbed Qiu Lingju's sleeve and did not let go, coquettishly asking her father to send the painting to Cui He.When Cui He saw it, he even praised Gu Gong's painting for its brilliance and ingenuity. As a master of ancient handwriting, he didn't realize that it was a fake. This incident made Qiu Zhenzhen famous.How many sons of high-ranking officials and noble families wanted to see Miss Qiu's true face, but the Qiu family's discipline was very strict. Come back disappointed.

With such a daughter raised in a deep boudoir, Qiu Lingju held it in her mouth for fear of melting, and held it in her hands for fear of falling.It wasn't until the situation became clear and Sima Yu's position as the crown prince was consolidated that he won the offer. Naturally, he won the emperor's satisfaction and favor as soon as he made a move. He thought that Qiu Zhenzhen, who was both talented and beautiful, was naturally the best candidate for his daughter-in-law.It wasn't until this time that the person who presented the picture album of the young lady in the family realized that he was just an escort, so he had to go back angrily.

On this day, the emperor ordered Su Xiaoxiao to sing in the garden, and the queen was also there. Since Sima Yue was expelled to guard the imperial mausoleum, she naturally hated Su Xiaoxiao to the bone.But there is no way to say that, there is no occasion to compete with an actor, let alone tell the emperor that my precious son was sent to the army because of this actor. Sorry, it makes people laugh out loud!

Su Xiaoxiao sang on the stage, and the queen kept drinking tea below to relieve her breath.Not long after, a woman came gracefully.The eunuch reported: "Miss Qiu is here." The woman wore an elegant flowing cloud bun, a moon-white skirt, a water-green brocade jacket, and a Qian-colored sachet around her waist. Xi, even Su Xiaoxiao, a woman, likes it from the bottom of her heart when she sees it.The emperor and queen even greeted her with a smile, looking at the Qiu family's prostitute, Qiu Zhenzhen, who is famous in the capital, and her future daughter-in-law.

"Greetings to the emperor and empress." Qiu Zhenzhen bowed and saluted, with a frown and a smile, showing all the courtesy.

"Sure enough, everyone is beautiful, talented and beautiful." The more the emperor liked it, he turned to the eunuch who was waiting on him and said, "Go, call Yu'er here! Let them meet."

Sima Yu is coming?So isn't this the blind date scene?Su Xiaoxiao's heart moved, and the tunes in his mouth flew away, but fortunately, everyone was enjoying themselves, and no one cared.

Not long after, Sima Yu arrived, dressed in a black straight-fronted robe, with an auspicious cloud belt in the middle, and a white jade pendant around his waist.The queen smiled when she saw it: "Look at this child, how come he came here with black clothes on such a day?"

Sima Yu saluted, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was wandering in the sky but still insisted on singing, frowned, then looked at Qiu Zhenzhen who was sitting on the side, and said lightly: "I don't know what is going on today. day."

"Look at this child!" The empress couldn't help but smile reluctantly, "Come and meet the daughter of Prime Minister Qiu's family."

"Miss Qiu." Sima Yu nodded, but his eyes did not stay on her for a moment.

"Your Highness the Prince." Qiu Zhenzhen looked at him timidly, seeing that the Prince was unsmiling but handsome and picturesque, her face could not help but a faint blush.

"From now on, we will be a family." The emperor laughed loudly, the prince's marriage has always been a concern of his, and now he can find a daughter of the Qiu family who is well-matched and helpful politically, and he is very satisfied.

"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is exquisite in fine brushwork... little girl..."

"I haven't painted for a long time, and I'm already rusty." Sima Yu replied.

Obviously still drawing pictures of beauties!Xiaoxiao complained in her heart, heh, man!
Qiu Zhenzhen was a little embarrassed, so she had to turn her head to look at the emperor and empress again, with a rather coquettish look in her eyes.The emperor had no choice but to laugh and said: "If you are unfamiliar, you can also learn from each other. Yu'er, take Miss Qiu to your study to have a chat. In front of me, you will inevitably be cautious!"

"I still have something to do, I will accompany Miss Qiu some other day." Sima Yu said suddenly, "I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he saluted and retreated, and the whole process was done in one go, without giving the emperor and queen a chance to interrupt.The emperor's resentment hung on his face, and the queen could only laugh along with her and said, "Yu'er never likes to get close to others, this time I'm afraid she's shy...it will be fine after marriage."

Shy... shy?Does this black-faced Hades look shy?The Queen's words are just prevarication, this Qiu Zhenzhen is not stupid!Su Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to watch the excitement, so she complained about Sima Yu's indifferent attitude towards beautiful women, and few people would believe him if he didn't like men!
A few days later, another strange thing happened.It was rumored in the palace early in the morning. It was said that in the early dynasty, an official reported that a huge piece of jade was dug out near Gyeonggi, with characters engraved on it, which could be vaguely distinguished as the words "True Jade Makes a Pair". Everyone was at a loss. In the middle of the water, Mr. Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, knelt down and bowed first: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to your highness the crown prince! The pairing of real jades means that the pairing of Zhen Yu is the meaning of pairing, the sign of auspiciousness, and a match made in heaven!" Then all the ministers and ministers gathered together They bowed down and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The voices were like thunder, and it was a rare and uniform moment in the court.During the next court, the Prime Minister Qiu Lingju was also very complacent, beaming with joy, and did not hide his joy at all.

"Let me tell you, it's too fake!" Yan Ziheng walked away and went straight to the Liyuan to chat with Su Xiaoxiao, his expression was filled with righteous indignation, "I looked at the engraving on the jade that I took a lot of effort to transport. It's newly engraved, but who dares to say?" He spread his hands with a look of lovelessness, "Even His Royal Highness didn't say anything... This is his marriage!"

"He said that Qiu Zhenzhen wants to marry, and this marriage must be married. He said that he is choosing a concubine, but in fact he is forcing the marriage. Why bother to expose it and make everyone look bad. This method is just right. It is a happy event anyway. It is a happy event. It's just auspicious, who would be serious?" Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile while nibbling on melon seeds.

"That's right. The wedding date was set on the spot, the third day of next month."

"What's Sima Yu's expression?" Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Your Highness, what expression can you have? You have no expression on your face, and then you agree." Yan Ziheng was a little hurt, "If I grow up and marry a wife, I must choose one I like! If I have to marry a woman I hate, I have to poke a hole in this world!"

"How do you know that the prince doesn't like it. Anyway, he has no expression on his face... Ordinarily..." Su Xiaoxiao paused and said, "It is supposed that he is happy, he just wanted to consolidate his position as the prince. , marrying the prime minister, isn't it exactly what he wants?"

"Can you stop being prejudiced against our Crown Prince?" Yan Zi stood up vigorously and gestured, "When he looked at that painting, there was light in his eyes, but when he looked at Qiu Zhenzhen, he didn't!"

"Correct me, I'm not prejudiced against him, I just hate him! He is scheming, and he is in the dark and wants to pull people in the light into the abyss... I advise you to be a good guard, don't be like this Be careful!" Xiao Xiao said seriously.

"The sixth prince, he..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, shall we?" Su Xiaoxiao interrupted him, her heart ached when she thought of Sima Yue.Although she hated Sima Yu, she was still happy with Yan Ziheng. She didn't want this incident to affect their friendship.

Yan Ziheng saw that she was a little annoyed, so he leaned closer and said flatteringly: "Okay, okay! Tell me something fun, do you want to see the prince's wedding?"

"Is this interesting?"

"Of course it's interesting! The prince's wedding has all the six ceremonies, and there's a lot of attention to detail. It's a lot of fun!"

"Then I'll go!" Su Xiaoxiao was gearing up.

Yan Ziheng patted his chest and assured: "You dress up as a little maid, and I'll take you in, there's no problem!"

　How should I put it, this is not a very intense story, and some people may think it is a little flat, but in fact, life does not have so many emotions of great joy and sorrow, it is nothing more than the joy and pain piled up by some delicate emotions.No one is born evil or good, they each have their own reasons.I hope everyone can see to the end~Thanks =3=
