Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 112

The Fourth Prince Wei Wang suddenly squeezed over and pulled Xiao Mingchen to speak.

Xiao Mingchen was impatient when he was dragged to a corner, "What do you want to say, just say no?"

Wei Wang was born with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a heroic appearance. Now he winked and said to him: "I just asked someone to find out that the dancing woman is called Xie Mingyan. Isn't Shi En in charge of the Jiaofang Secretary? He used to Didn't Concubine Hui used to be the steward in the palace, you asked him to transfer that woman to me as a palace maid."

Xiao Mingchen's eyes widened, "Fourth brother, are you crazy? You didn't see father..."

Wei Wang said impatiently: "Father really wants her, what reason do you have, let someone send a message to take her away now."

Xiao Mingchen shook his head, "I don't want to make trouble with you bastard. How do you know that the father is not interested in her? If the father summons her tomorrow, you will be there first, is it plausible?"

"It's just a woman, what's so great about it? I just saw her dance well, so I took her back to play for a few days. What's the matter, can you help me?" King Wei played a rogue without hesitation.

Xiao Mingchen immediately had nothing to say, he really didn't know what to say to such a fool!
"No, I don't have the face to go to Concubine Hui, just to tell her that I want this woman by my side. Didn't you see that Concubine Hui and Concubine Hui are not happy?"

"What a big deal." Wei Wang was annoyed: "It's just that our brothers have had a little bit of trouble recently, so would you do me a favor? Hmph, I'm asking my father to go!"

Xiao Mingchen's face was flushed red by his anger, and he scolded: "Okay, you can do it, if you have the ability, you go to the emperor father!"

King Wei turned around angrily and left without eating.

Xiao Mingchen returned to the table, still very annoyed, and when he saw his brother, he poured out bitter water: "I've never seen such a stingy one, go ask Father, is he crazy or am I crazy?"

Murong Wei was amused: "It seems that this beauty is really charming. Tsk tsk, don't talk about it, the way she dances, even a woman like me, looks very tempting, let alone other people Yes. Is it not, my lord?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Mingrui patted her on the head, and said pettishly, "It's strange that you don't like it today, so it's because you don't like her?"

He thought Murong Wei was jealous that Xie Mingyan stole the limelight.

Murong Wei rolled her eyes and curled her lips: "Do I seem to be such a narrow-minded person?"

Xiao Mingchen knocked on the table unhappily, "Brother and sister-in-law, please don't act like a husband and wife in front of me, okay? It's too exciting. Didn't I say that you listened to what I said? Fourth brother is gone, could it be true? Have you gone to find your father?"

Xiao Mingrui smiled and said: "Although the fourth brother is a bit generous, he does not behave inappropriately."

Xiao Mingchen thought for a moment, touched his chin and said in thought: "Hey, let me tell you, what kind of firecrackers did this kid have today. Could it be that he has become smarter?"

Murong Wei glanced at King Qi, just at this time King Qi also turned his gaze, and it was right.

Murong Wei turned her face away, thinking to herself, could it be that Wei Wang's move is to defile himself?

A son who is not stingy, rude and careless is more reassuring than a smart one.

In her opinion, even if the fourth prince went to ask Emperor Jianwu for someone, the emperor would not be angry, maybe he would be more at ease with him.

"Really, they are all human beings."

she said with a smile. "Together with you old foxes, my little white rabbit is suffering too much."

Xiao Mingchen almost choked, looking at the gentle and dignified look on Murong Wei's face, it really made people laugh.

As long as she is still a little white rabbit, he thinks she is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, right?
Xiao Mingrui couldn't help laughing, seeing that it was getting late, he said: "Aren't you feeling unwell for a long time, let's go home."

Murong Wei agreed, and got up to say goodbye to Concubine Hui, and then left the palace.

After getting into the car, Xiao Mingrui hugged her into his arms and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell tonight?"

Murong Wei shook her head, and after a long time suddenly said nervously: "If, I mean if, one day you find out that I am not me, what will happen?"

Xiao Mingrui looked at her in surprise, touched her forehead in doubt, and muttered: "I don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Murong Wei looked at him helplessly, "I mean, what if you find that I am different from the person you thought?"

"What's the difference?" Xiao Mingrui patted her forehead amusedly, seeing her accuse him aggrievedly, "Fool, no matter what, you are my wife, stop thinking about it."

Murong Wei thought so too, without evidence, no one would know that she came here through time travel.

Besides, Xiao Mingrui likes her not because she came from time travel, but because of her.

Her ingenuity, her empathy, her ability to advance and retreat, and her heart-to-heart relationship with him.

Even if another time-traveling woman appears, it doesn't mean that Xiao Mingrui will fall in love with another person.

Anyway, judging from today, I didn't find anything different about him.

"Okay, husband, let's go home." She smiled sweetly.

Yes, she is her, the unique Murong Wei.

No matter who it is, even if she is a time-traveling girl, she will not allow her happiness to be destroyed.

If anyone dares to violate her life, she will fight back fiercely!

"Wei'er, you are a little different today."

Xiao Mingrui brushed the broken hair at her temples and said with a smile.

"Why is it different?"

He smiled lowly and said: "Could it be that you are jealous, I see you have been staring at that woman with a strange expression, some...don't like her?"

Murong Wei blinked, and deliberately said in a sassy tone, "Why, Husband, have you taken a fancy to her?"

"Don't talk nonsense." The wind lamp in the carriage was fixed on the wall of the carriage, emitting a soft light, shining on his handsome face, his starry eyes were like a pool of stars, but at this moment he was very helpless: "Forget it, I shouldn't have asked This question. You women, I really don’t understand.”

In fact, he had already noticed that Murong Wei was slightly surprised and wary of that dancing girl, but he didn't know why.

For him, such a wonderful creature as a woman is really incomprehensible.

"Then let me ask you, is her dance good-looking?"

Xiao Mingrui said without blinking, "It's not pretty."

Murong Wei raised her head and held his cheek, and asked without blinking: "Don't fool me, tell me the truth, does it look good?"

"Okay, it's okay." He said innocently, "But compared to the ones I've seen before, it's nothing new."

Murong Wei smiled beautifully, and asked in a gentle tone: "Oh, is that so? Has the prince ever enjoyed such kindness from a beauty before? It's really the hardest thing to endure from a beauty, tsk tsk..."

Xiao Mingrui coughed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "I have seen Liu Xiaoxiaowu, a famous Jiangnan prostitute before, and it was amazing. This dancer's dance can only be regarded as mediocre. I feel like I'm showing off and not really dancing."

Murong Wei was satisfied after hearing what he said.

"It's not bad, actually." She sighed: "But like you said, how many people in this world are completely pure? Few people put their heart into dancing or singing, most of them It's to show off."

After that, he laughed at himself: "Why am I not?"

Hearing what she said, Xiao Mingrui was immediately filled with emotions.

"If you can't be pure, then at least keep a little pure in your heart."

Xie Mingyan didn't sleep well all night.

She's been thinking wildly all night.

For a while, I thought about what to do if the emperor fell in love with him. Although this Emperor Jianwu was also a very accomplished emperor, he was handsome and charming, but he was a middle-aged man after all.

And if that fatal thing doesn't change, it's all useless.

"No, I can't be reduced to one of the concubines in the harem. I will still be young when the emperor dies."

Xie Mingyan got rid of this thought.

She only likes winners.

Then it is better to carry out the original plan.

Xie Mingyan thought of this, made up his mind, slept in a daze until almost noon, and was woken up again.

Xiaojuan said apologetically, "Sister Mingyan, Eunuch Shi came over and said he wanted you to get up quickly, he has something to tell you."

Xie Mingyan thought of something, and hurriedly got up to freshen up, and changed into a plain beige with orchids on a white background. Although it was a commoner and green shirt, it made her look even more beautiful.

When Shi En saw her, his eyes lit up immediately, and he changed his attitude from yesterday, and stepped forward with a smile, "Tsk tsk, girl, you are overjoyed!"

Xie Mingyan felt nervous: "I don't know what kind of happiness my father-in-law is talking about?"

Shi En said with a smile: "Do you know how many people asked me to let you go?"

Xie Mingyan hurriedly said nervously: "My father-in-law promoted everything, and I just want to work here for my father-in-law."

What she said made Shi En very useful, and then waved her hands and said: "You don't need to say that. In the future, you will be honorable, so don't forget our family. I'm here today to tell you, Long live the afternoon I want to summon you, so pack up and pack up."

He said with a warning voice: "Anyway, for your own good, it's better to behave. Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous anymore!"

When Xie Mingyan heard this, she was startled. Emperor Jianwu summoned her?

She also knew that it was Meng Lang yesterday, so she hurriedly said: "Your maidservant knows, she must abide by the rules and live up to her father-in-law's entrustment. It's just... why did the emperor summon me?"

Shi En waved his hand: "Hey, who knows what?"

Xie Mingyan quickly put a pouch from his waist to Shi En, "I heard that my father-in-law likes to appreciate golden toads. I have a side and I don't understand these things. Why don't you ask your father-in-law to help you appreciate them?"

Shi En was very satisfied when he heard it, and he didn't refuse: "It's easy to say, I will pay you back after appreciating it for a few days."

With short hands, he revealed some inside information to Murong Wei.

"I said you performed amazingly yesterday, which obviously attracted the attention of many men. Because the emperor didn't express his desire for you, many people came to my place. But this morning I heard the news that His Royal Highness Wei Wang went to the emperor's place." I asked the emperor to ask you, but the emperor did not agree."

Xie Mingyan was nervous for a while, "Wei Wang?"

That unscrupulous prince, the fourth prince?

She doesn't want to be with him!

"Isn't that right? I heard that the King of Wei wanted to ask the King of Qin for help, and there was a lot of trouble."

Shi En stopped talking here, "I don't know what your majesty's plan is when you go here, so be careful."

After saying that, he walked away with a whisk in his hand.

The expression on Xie Mingyan's face changed back and forth, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "I have to get over it no matter what, for the future glory and wealth, I will fight!"

She didn't believe that with her own charm, those ancient women could be her opponents?
I am a girl from Qin Chuan, even if she is in the crowd, others can find that she is different, her temperament is extraordinary and refined, outstanding, no one can not notice her.

And she also knows a lot, and she has something to say. Compared with those submissive ancient women, she will definitely make men's eyes shine and become their confidants.

Xie Mingyan redressed her makeup confidently. Of course, today's makeup can't be like yesterday's.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, she opened her makeup box, looked at the makeup tools inside, and sighed: "It's a pity, when I travel through time, I have a makeup bag with me, so I don't know how to use it. How long will it take?"

She remembered that on the day she just crossed over, she met a court lady who fell into the river and drowned inexplicably, but when others found her, they recognized her as that court lady.

Everyone happened to be called Xie Mingyan.

At that moment, Xie Mingyan thought that the reason why he traveled through time was to shoulder the mission!

The protagonist is invincible. She thinks that she will have overwhelming luck, and finally her wish will come true.

Think about it, although King Qin is not bad, but unfortunately she prefers to be the Queen and Queen Mother.

After finishing the meal, in the late afternoon, Qianqing Palace sent someone to summon her.

Although he has been here for so long, it is the first time for Xie Mingyan to enter Qianqing Palace. Looking at this majestic palace, the royal atmosphere rushes towards his face. The majesty and majesty give people the illusion of facing the might of God.

Xie Mingyan sighed, and was led to Xinuang Pavilion by the little eunuch.

This is the place where the emperor usually rests. When he summons ministers, most of them are in Dongnuange and Yushufang.

Therefore, the layout of Xinuange is more comfortable. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the golden brick floor, the Persian jacquard passionflower carpet, the bright yellow curtains hanging down, and a row of huge mahogany bookshelves in the corner almost extending to the Longteng Sea. On the rising Chengchen, a large number of ancient books were placed on it, and it could be seen that there were signs of being flipped from time to time.

There is a middle hall hanging on the wall, which reads: Xiaoyi Shishi.

Xie Mingyan lowered his eyes and wore all the clothes and food. Does this count as trying to be a good emperor who is diligent in political affairs?
However, speaking of it, Emperor Jianwu was indeed a wise emperor!

Xie Mingyan looked up and saw that Emperor Jianwu was sitting by the imperial case not far away, watching the review of the memorial, while the eunuch Gao Wugong and several other eunuchs were serving Emperor Jianwu.

"Slave and maid greet the emperor."

Emperor Jianwu glanced at her but didn't let her get up, so Xie Mingyan could only keep kneeling on the ground.

After an hour or so, Emperor Jianwu finally finished reading the memorial in his hand, and at this moment, as if he had just discovered her, he asked, "When did you come? Get up."

"My servant thank you Long Live Lord, and my servant will arrive not long ago."

Xie Mingyan stood up after hearing the words, her legs felt numb and her knees hurt, she couldn't help but regret why she didn't wear knee pads before?

Now it's a bad old sin, she has never suffered such a bitterness in her life.

Gao Wugong waited on Emperor Jianwu to clean his face, and after a while, Emperor Jianwu asked: "The king of Wei begged me today, and I asked you if you would like to come over? Also, I heard that some relatives of the royal family also want you. I really didn't expect , you are quite welcome."

Xie Mingyan was taken aback, seeing Emperor Jianwu's probing eyes, thought to himself that this matter is not a test, is it?
If she really went to King Wei's place as the emperor said, Emperor Jianwu might kill her right away!
"I don't dare to climb high, I just want to stay in the palace and be a little maid." Although the emperor's face was expressionless, it was obvious that the indifferent atmosphere around him had dropped a lot.

Xie Mingyan then continued: "The servant knows that he is humble and has no right to choose. Since the emperor did not agree to His Royal Highness Wei Wang, and some royal relatives asked for the servant, if the servant was given to anyone, it would be embarrassing for the emperor. It’s not good to treat one more favorably than another. Therefore, the servant is willing to be a little maid by the emperor’s side, so that everyone is happy and will not embarrass the emperor.”

Emperor Jianwu looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to make such a request.

Before, he thought that this woman wanted to enter the harem, but he didn't expect that she just wanted to be a court lady?

"Who in the world can embarrass me?" His domineering words revealed boundless pride, but no one would doubt his words.

In fact, even if he took this woman into his harem, no one would dare to say anything.

But because King Wei came to ask him for it, he didn't agree. If he kept it for himself in a blink of an eye, it would be unreasonable.

He wouldn't have had a dirty life with his son for a woman.

Therefore, the best choice is to ignore this matter, or make her a female officer!
"Why, you don't want glory and wealth?" The emperor half leaned on the dragon chair, looking at Xie Mingyan with some amusement, seeing that her eyes were neither humble nor condescending, and she talked with eloquence, it was really a bit different.

This reminded him of Murong Wei who he had met before. The two of them felt calm and proud when facing him.

The difference is that Murong Wei's calmness is hidden in her heart, while Xie Mingyan's pride is hidden on her face.

"I don't want to be a rich and wealthy servant, and I don't want to be a vase for others. In this way, the servant is willing to stay by the emperor's side to serve the emperor, but he is at ease."

Her proud words made people look sideways, and there was a fanatical light in her eyes, "Although this servant is only a woman, this servant also wants to live out her own style."

The eunuchs at the side all looked sideways, Gao Wugong thought, this idea is really bold, and he wondered if the emperor would be angry.

Emperor Jianwu said in a deep voice: "What style do you want to live as a dancer? Don't you know the three obediences and the four virtues?"

"Does the emperor want a court lady who obeys the rules, or a court lady who can talk to you?" She endured her panic and boldly talked to Emperor Jianwu.

"Bold!" Gao Wugong scolded, "How dare you talk to the emperor like that, you little maid?"

Emperor Jianwu was not angry, he had never seen a woman who dared to speak so boldly in front of him, and felt a little strange for a while.

After all, who would dare to disobey him and offend his majesty?

"Oh? What ability do you have to chat with me?" Emperor Jianwu swept his eyes sharply over: "Do you know the classics and history collections, poetry and songs, or state affairs. Or wild foxes, folk news?"

Xie Mingyan suddenly became speechless, she didn't know all of these things.

"Slaves can tell the emperor about overseas affairs, the general trend of the world."

As soon as she finished speaking, Emperor Jianwu shook his head with a tasteless smile.

The eunuch Zhang Yong smiled and said: "I said girl, you are obviously ignorant. There are several foreign painters and musicians in the palace. They know more about these things than you do."

Xie Mingyan became anxious for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This servant can amuse the emperor by singing and dancing."

Emperor Jianwu couldn't help laughing, he found it really amused to have such a person by his side.

For him, he made a decision after being fresh for a while, although this decision made him regret it.

"Okay, you can stay here and be a court lady. Zhang Yong, you arrange her here in Qianqing Palace and see if there is any vacancy."

Zhang Yong responded, thinking that he didn't look at the little girl as simple, and he didn't know if there would be any waves.

But in front of these old foxes with white tails, it's still not enough to look at!

How capable do you think you can be, and live like a woman?

Is it possible to sing and dance to have fun?

People, don't be too crazy, the more crazy you are, the faster you will be unlucky.

This word is always true in the palace.

Xie Mingyan withdrew, thinking that even if she didn't know much about court affairs, fortunately she knew the history!

She is a prophet, and as long as she possesses that, she can always stand out.

At that time, relying on my own ability, still worried about not being able to attract that person's attention?

Soon, Xie Mingyan began to work in Qianqing Palace.

Her job is the imperial court lady, responsible for serving tea and serving the emperor.

However, most of the time, these things are handled by the eunuchs, and they have been working for decades, so they are much more reliable than her in terms of seriousness and professionalism.

After starting to work, she began to inquire about news inside and outside the palace with other court ladies.

What are the dispositions and hobbies of the nobles in the palace, and what do the princes like.

On the second day of work, she met King Chu.

The King of Chu went to Dongnuan Pavilion to meet his father, Xie Mingyan brought tea in, and saw a noble prince with a strong book atmosphere sitting on a black sandalwood and gold-rimmed armchair. People feel like the fragrance of ink.

Xie Mingyan admired in his heart, he really deserves to be the legendary talented prince, he really is extraordinary.

She served tea to King Chu, who looked up and seemed a little surprised.

The court lady in front of her immediately became one with the girl dancing at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

The king of Chu was surprised at first, and then he had a flash of understanding.

He had also heard about the good deeds done by his fourth brother, so it was not surprising that his father would make such a choice.

"Your Highness, please have some tea." Xie Mingyan's voice was soft and pleasant, his clear face and slightly upturned eyeliner brought a charming feeling.

The King of Chu glanced at her, turned his head and said to Emperor Jianwu: "Father, look, what more content should be added to the compilation of "Ancient and Modern Jili"?"

Emperor Jianwu looked at the catalog, nodded and said: "It's almost there, you can discuss it with a few Hanlin scholars, and then finalize the draft."

"Yes, my son obeys."

The king of Chu said a few more words to his father, and then got up to leave.

At this time, Xie Mingyan took a few steps outside the gate of the Moon Cave, and bowed to salute: "Your Highness, go slowly."

The king of Chu was a little strange, and he was very surprised when he left the Qianqing Palace.

What's the matter with that woman, how dare she seduce him in front of her father?
Isn't this causing trouble for him?
The king of Chu was unhappy, he didn't like such frivolous women.

Compared with a beautiful image in my heart, it is far behind!
Also, how could he compare her to her?
This is the difference between cloud and mud.

Xie Mingyan sent the King of Chu away, feeling in his heart, what a prince with an elegant temperament.

It's just a pity that it is impossible for her to be with him. After all, he has that kind of disease, and it will be bad if he has a child in the future.

It's just that this person is really good. If you have a pure first love with him, and then separate painfully and decisively, wouldn't it be sadomasochism?

As soon as he left the East Nuan Pavilion, he met a prince with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a loud voice in the corridor, who was reprimanding the eunuchs around him.

When Xie Mingyan saw that person, his heart suddenly brightened. This is probably King Wei, right?
Thinking that this person was famous for being a gangster, she turned around and wanted to leave.

It's a pity that King Wei is in a bad mood at the moment. Before he asked his father to ask for a woman, he was fined by his father to copy the book. No, now it's time to hand in homework.

Seeing that a court lady in front wanted to hide, he scolded: "Stop for me, why are you hiding?"

King Wei strode forward, grabbed the maid, and said angrily, "Why are you hiding? This king has eaten you?"

In the end, after looking at it, hehe, he was actually an acquaintance!

"You? Aren't you the woman who danced? Well, I can see you." Wei Wang paid attention to this matter. He had already learned from the eunuch of Qianqing Palace that this woman was ignorant and refused to follow. He also said that he didn't love glory and wealth, so he insisted on being a court lady by his father's side.
