Reborn eldest daughter

The Mid-Autumn Festival luncheon is about to begin.This time the banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. All the princes and dukes were already seated, and the banquet could begin when the emperor came.

"The emperor is here, and the empress is here."

Following the eunuch's announcement, the emperor and empress walked in together from the outside.As soon as they saw the emperor and queen coming in, all the people knelt down and greeted them in unison, saying,

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor. See the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Situ Lingzhi smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just get up and sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Soon, everyone stood up and sat back in their seats.With Situ Lingzhi's order, the banquet began.The banquet was full of excitement, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and there were staggered cups of wine during the banquet, and the words were cheerful and joyful.The performances at the banquet came one after another. The people who attended the banquet enjoyed the wonderful performances while drinking wine and tasting delicious food.

The emperor sat in the most central seat, and beside him sat the queen mother.On both sides slightly below them sat the Queen and Concubine Yun Gui respectively.Concubine Yun Gui is very proud of this point, although she is just a noble concubine, but from such a ranking, it can be seen that her position in the emperor's heart is still very important.As for the other concubines, they can only sit on their lower heads.

And below those concubines, there are various princes and princesses.The most conspicuous among them is Princess Qingling, who is sitting next to the prince.Princess Qingling is the eldest princess born of the emperor and the queen, that is, the elder sister of the prince.Princess Qingling has always been favored, after all, she is the first child of the emperor and empress.She is very beautiful, with a pale yellow palace dress, like a fairy coat fluttering, smelling the fragrance of musk orchid, wanting to move the lotus clothes, listening to the clang of the ring.Smiling spring peaches, green buns piled up in clouds, cherry blossoms on lips, and fragrant pomegranate teeth.With a slender waist and a beautiful waist, such a beautiful woman is very rare in the capital.She is also the first of the four beauties in Beijing!In fact, if it is true, the four beauties in the capital all have their own characteristics and beauty. However, because Princess Qingling is the eldest princess of the Dali Dynasty, everyone regards her as She was named the first of the four beauties in the capital.

However, in fact, speaking of it, among the four beauties in the capital, except for Zhao Keren, among the four beauties who have the opportunity to participate in this banquet, the other three have come to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.Yun Yiyi is Yun Xiang's daughter, Qin Yimiao is Qin Guogong's first daughter, not to mention Princess Qingling, their qualifications are enough to occupy a place in this banquet.However, although Zhao Keren outside the palace was very unwilling to accept this fact, there was nothing he could do about it.

The banquet was held very smoothly. When the banquet was about to end and all the performances were over, Situ Lingzhi suddenly said, "Speaking of which, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is really very lively! Look, the famous four Beauties, three of them have already come, and they really added a lot of luster to this banquet!"

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, the queen on the side also smiled and said, "Yes! Three of these four beauties have come, and they are still young! They look pleasing to the eye."

The Queen Mother, who had been silent all this time, nodded in agreement after hearing what the Queen said.

Hearing the praise from the emperor and the empress, Qin Yimiao and Yun Yiyi were very complacent, but they had a shy expression on their faces, and they didn't give any answer.However, Princess Qingling didn't have any worries, she smiled mischievously,

"Then I really want to thank the emperor and mother for their compliments." Princess Qingling smiled mischievously, "For your compliments, my son will be disrespectful."

Seeing her daughter like this, the queen smiled very kindly, "You, you just won't grow up, you are already old, it seems that I should marry you off as soon as possible!"

Hearing the queen's words, Princess Qingling pouted her lips, pretending to be angry, "The queen mother despises the minister."

Seeing Qingling like this, no matter if it is the emperor, empress, or queen mother, they all laughed happily.

In fact, although Princess Qingling is the first of the four beauties in Beijing, she is also the oldest among the four beauties. She is almost seventeen this year, but she still hasn't married, and she doesn't even have a family yet. set.However, she is not in a hurry, after all her identity is there, as long as she likes, she can marry at any time.But because of the favor of the emperor and the queen, she made up her mind to marry someone she really liked, and she would never wrong herself.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Situ Xu, who had been watching from below, only felt hypocrisy, and he glanced at Situ Lingzhi meaningfully.After Situ Lingzhi noticed Situ Xu's eyes, he naturally knew that Situ Xu was urging him to get down to business as soon as possible.Before, when Situ Xu had already asked Situ Lingzhi to help, he already felt that this banquet was definitely the best opportunity, and it was the most suitable to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out the previous plan.

However, Situ Lingzhi and Situ Xu are not the only ones who have plans for such a good day. The queen also has her eyes on this day, hoping that the emperor will marry Situ Tian and Qin Yimiao on this day.

Therefore, just when Situ Lingzhi was about to speak, the queen suddenly said, "Speaking of the four beauties, I really have to mention Qin Yimiao, the daughter of Duke Qin. She is not only a beauty! The most important thing is A talented woman. You know, she still has the title of the number one talented woman in the capital!"

Hearing the queen's praise for herself, Qin Yimiao stood up, blessed herself, and said very modestly, "The queen empress has won the prize, Yimiao is just a little familiar with poetry and books, and everyone praises Yimiao. .”

Although there was a humble look on his face, Qin Yimiao's eyes were shining with pride.She didn't know why the queen suddenly praised her like this, but she was very proud of such a compliment. Her talent and learning were definitely her greatest pride.

The Queen Mother also smiled at Mrs. Qin who was sitting below, "Aying (Mrs. Qin's boudoir name), you are so lucky! You have such an outstanding granddaughter."

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Mrs. Qin also stood up, and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is too proud, and it is Yi Miao's blessing to be appreciated by the Queen Mother."

Soon, everyone started to praise Qin Yimiao one after another.Zhang Man'er, who had been sitting below, listened to everyone praising her daughter, and felt both complacent and proud.Yi Miao has always been the pride of her heart, and she is very proud to have such a daughter.

"Yes!" Situ Lingzhi, who had been silent all this time, thought for a while and said, "I heard that Qin Yimiao, the eldest lady of Qin Guogong's mansion, is both talented and beautiful, and she is also known as the most talented woman in the capital. She is really a rare good woman. I heard that on Mrs. Qin's birthday, when everyone wrote a poem about plum blossoms, Miss Qin wrote a very good poem, right?"

Hearing the emperor mentioned the matter of composing poems at the previous birthday banquet, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Qin Yimiao's face.Indeed, on the day of my grandmother's birthday, she did write a good poem, but it was good, but not the best.This matter has always been her shame, because she, the number one talented woman in the capital, lost.

At this time, the prince stood up, saluted the emperor for a while, and said, "It seems that the father is really well-informed! At the old lady Qin's birthday banquet, Miss Qin wrote a song about plum blossoms. It is indeed very good, and my son still remembers it very clearly!"

After finishing speaking, the prince slowly recited this poem, "Plum snow is fighting for the spring but is not willing to come down, and the poet puts down a pen fee to comment on the chapter. Mei Xu is three points whiter than snow, but snow loses plum fragrance." Autumn banquet go.

After reciting the poem, the prince glanced at Qin Yimiao and smiled.Ever since he knew that the queen had decided to designate Qin Yimiao as the crown prince, the prince knew exactly what he was going to do.He has always known that Qin Yimiao is very devoted to him, and what he has to do now is to make Qin Yimiao even more devoted to him.Just like now, when he recited this poem, he was telling Qin Yimiao that he remembered her poem.If a girl knows that there is a man who always remembers the poems she wrote, then the girl will definitely be moved.

Sure enough, after hearing the prince recite her own poem, Qin Yimiao's original unnaturalness disappeared without a trace, especially after seeing the prince glance at her later, she was so happy that she wanted to fly up.She didn't know that the prince had been paying attention to her all the time, and he could even recite his own poems at any time.Thinking of this, Qin Yimiao's heart was as sweet as drinking honey.

After hearing Qin Yimiao's poem, although Situ Lingzhi, who had already known it for a long time, still smiled and praised, "It seems that Miss Qin really has a literary talent! It's really a good poem!"

In fact, the poems written at Mrs. Qin’s birthday banquet before were indeed spread among the upper class, but most of the people who knew about them were those ladies and wives. After all, those elders are not particularly interested in some gossip, especially Those sitting here today are not ordinary people, and they are even less interested in the gossip that has been circulating.Therefore, although most people already know the poems written that day, there are still a small number of people who only heard this poem today.

It's like today's Grand Bachelor——Ke Yi.After hearing this poem by Qin Yimiao, he was excited for a moment, afraid of the case, "Good poem, good poem, Miss Qin deserves to be the most talented woman in the capital, who can write such a good poem. Mei Xu Xunxue is three points white, but Xue loses Mei Duanxiang. Good sentence, really good sentence, even the old man can't compare it to himself!"

Ke Yi is currently a bachelor, and he was not qualified to participate in this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but because his talent is so outstanding, the emperor likes to oppose him very much in reciting poems.Therefore, he still enjoys a lot of privileges.Coming to the Mid-Autumn Festival luncheon is just one of them.

Hearing that even Ke Yi, a senior scholar, had already praised him, everyone also praised him.Seeing all this, Qin Yimiao also forgot that her poem was subordinate to Zhao Keran's.The embarrassment just now has long since disappeared, and now all that is left in my heart is full of pride.She secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately, Zhao Keran did not have the opportunity to attend the banquet today, otherwise, she would definitely not be able to make such a brilliant performance.

The queen who had been silently watching all this nodded secretly in her heart, it seemed that Tian'er was very smart and knew what she should do at this time.Moreover, judging from this, Qin Yimiao's heart has already had a day, it seems that today is really a good opportunity!

Thinking of this, the queen wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so she took this opportunity to let the emperor order a marriage.However, just when she was about to speak, Situ Xu interrupted what the queen was about to say.

"That's right, the poem written by Miss Qin is indeed a good poem!" Situ Xu picked up his wine glass, took a sip of the fine wine, and said, "But, you know, the one who won the poetry competition It's not Miss Qin!"

After hearing Situ Xu's words, the atmosphere at the scene immediately cooled down.Qin Yimiao's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.The atmosphere at the banquet became very awkward, and no one spoke.The queen gave Situ Xu a hard look. She was about to speak, but Situ Xu's words made her swallow all the words she was about to say.

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of hearty laughter, and everyone saw that it was the emperor's laughter.

After Situ Lingzhi smiled, he said, "Listen to Xu'er, isn't there a better poem?"

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's question, Situ Xu smiled slightly, "Father, don't you know if you just ask the prince? In the poetry competition that day, the prince even produced the "Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms" as a reward! Father Your Majesty, just ask the prince, don't you know who the owner of "The Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms" is now?"

After hearing Situ Xu's words, the prince laughed awkwardly, not knowing whether to speak or not.

After hearing Situ Xu's words, Ke Yi was probably the most interested person at the scene. Ke Yi is a person who is very interested in literature.After hearing a poem about plums written by Qin Yimiao just now, he was already amazed, but now he heard that it is still a better poem, so he hurriedly asked,

"What kind of poem is it! It is even better than the poem about plum blossoms written by Miss Qin just now. I am really interested in it. I would like to ask His Royal Highness, or King Xu, to let me listen to it. .”

After hearing Ke Yi's words, the prince still didn't reply.

Just when Situ Xu was about to open his mouth to recite the poem, King Yi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of speaking, it seems that this king will be the one to recite this poem. It doesn’t matter what you say, the king was also present that day.”

After finishing speaking, Situ Yi thought about it for a while, and opened his mouth to chant, "It's hard to draw a picture alone when counting the calyx. Against the wind, it is easy to understand, and it is easy not to destroy it."

"Good poem, good poem!" After listening to this poem, Ke Yi immediately became very excited, "There is not a single word 'Mei' in the whole poem, but it seems to use this word 'Mei' throughout the whole poem. It’s like a poem. From this we can see how high the artistic conception of this poem is!”

Upon hearing Ke Yi's words, Qin Yimiao's face turned darker.However, Ke Yi did not stop, but continued to praise, "Which family is the lady from? She has such a delicate heart and writes such a good poem, even if she is the first lady of the Dali Dynasty. That's nothing but a talented girl!"

Ke Yi's words were like a heavy bomb, which made Qin Yimiao dizzy.She didn't understand why things turned out like this. Just now everyone was still praising her, but why everything has changed now!The current self is a joke, a big joke.Thinking of this, Qin Yimiao wished that there could be a crack on the ground for her to hide in.At the same time, a hatred towards Zhao Keran was slowly growing.

The situation was suddenly reversed, and everyone was very curious about who made this poem, which was obviously better than the one just now.Some people who already knew about it hurriedly passed on the information to those who didn't know.In this way, Zhao Keran's name slowly spread at this banquet.

Situ Xu winked at Situ Lingzhi, and Situ Lingzhi understood, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "So there is such a good poem! Speaking of which, I'm really curious! Which family is it from?" What about the poems I made!"

Situ Xu smiled slightly, "The author of this poem is also Mrs. Qin's granddaughter! But it's not the inner granddaughter, but the outer granddaughter."

After hearing Situ Xu's words, the most surprised people were Zhenbei Hou Zhao Lin and his two wives.However, when she heard about this, Xiao Ling felt complacent. When she heard Situ Xu say that she was Mrs. Qin's granddaughter, the first thing she thought of was Zhao Keren.Of course, Li Fei'er also thought of Zhao Keren, but her mood was not as good as Xiao Ling's.

After hearing Situ Xu's words, everyone focused their attention on Mrs. Qin. Although Mrs. Qin was embarrassed by what happened to Qin Yimiao just now, it was her granddaughter who made such a poem. Still very proud.

So Mrs. Qin bowed respectfully, and said, "Return to the emperor, the author of this poem is Lao Shen's granddaughter, her maiden name is Zhao Keran, she is the eldest daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion."

When Zhao Keran heard the name, those present who already knew it were not surprised at all, but Zhao Lin, Xiao Ling, and Li Fei'er were shocked.They did not expect that it would be Zhao Keran who made such a poem.Although they all knew that Zhao Keran had changed a lot now, they never thought that Zhao Keran would be so talented.

"Ah Ying!" the queen mother said, "you are the most blessed! I didn't expect that not only your granddaughter is amazing, but your granddaughter is even more amazing. She is such a delicate and transparent person who can compose such a good poem." It seems that both your granddaughter and granddaughter are powerful figures!"

Hearing the Queen Mother's praise, Mrs. Qin smiled even brighter, "The Queen Mother is too famous, they are just children's families, there is no such thing as good or bad."

After hearing what the Queen Mother and Mrs. Qin said, Qin Yimiao, who was standing below, couldn't feel happy at all.If she had been praising her all the time just now, she would be very happy.However, now that she and Zhao Keran are being praised together, and under such circumstances, she really can't be happy.

Zhang Man'er, who had been sitting below, also became very depressed, and the pride and complacency just now had long since disappeared.Now she not only resented Zhao Keran in her heart, but even more resented Qin Xianghe.She thought it was Qin Xianghe who instructed Zhao Keran to do this.If it wasn't for Qin Xianghe and Zhao Keran, how could her daughter be treated like this?

However, no matter what everyone present thinks, Situ Xu will never forget the purpose of today, he said, "Miss Zhao is indeed very talented, otherwise she would not have won the crown prince's "Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms" ", isn't it?"

After hearing Situ Xu's words, Situ Lingzhi pretended to be very interested, "Prince, the "Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms" I rewarded is really in the hands of that Miss Zhao Keran, isn't it?"

Situ Tian heard that there was no blame in Situ Lingzhi's tone, so he said, "Father, yes. In order to make the competition more interesting, my son took out "The Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms" as a reward. Miss Zhao Keran's poem It’s a good job, and its skill is overwhelming, so it’s natural to win this "Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms."

Sure enough, after hearing Situ Tian's answer, Situ Lingzhi didn't blame him at all, but instead said, "Since this Miss Zhao Keran is so outstanding, she even won this "Picture of Winter Plum Blossoms" as a prize, and even defeated our No. A talented woman. It seems that I should give this Miss Zhao a good reward."

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone was very puzzled, what the emperor meant!Is it really necessary to reward that Zhao Keran just for this poem?However, the Sacred Heart has always been unpredictable, and the emperor's whim sometimes happens.However, such a reward should not be too heavy, so everyone can still accept such a result. 13acv.

However, where no one noticed, a light flashed quickly in Situ Xu's eyes.

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, the queen mother said with a smile, "Since the emperor wants to reward you, you can't be stingy!"

After hearing what the queen mother said, Situ Lingzhi smiled, "Since the queen mother said this, I will give her a big reward!"
