Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 55 Slander
Take good care of your illness, and leave the family affairs to my sister-in-law.

As for the eldest lady, she still enjoys the blessings.

No matter what they think in their hearts, at least on the surface, everyone is still peaceful.

In April, the results of the palace examination finally came out.

The number one scholar was Tang Yan, a Jiangnan talent handpicked by the Holy Majesty. This time, this person won three consecutive awards, became famous all over the world, recorded in the annals of history, and was directly awarded the post of editor of the Imperial Academy.

The second place is Fu Zhongyan, a little-known Fujianese candidate, because of his excellent strategies and theories, he has made a lot of achievements in water control, and has won the favor of the sage.

But unexpectedly, it was Qin Yongning, the fourth son of Murong Yue's fiancé, Jianning Bo.

And No. 4, No. 1 in Erjia is Wang Yuan, the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

The No. 1 of Tanhua and No. [-] in the second place was directly awarded the post of editor of the Imperial Academy.

Others had to take the Shu Jishi examination if they wanted to enter the Imperial Academy.

Feng Yu won No.2 in the second class, and Murong Wei's cousin Zhou Che won No.7 in the second class.It's not too flashy but it's also excellent.

It was unexpected that Feng Yu didn't win the top three, but after all, the world is so big, there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. This article still depends on people's preferences.

Murong Wei couldn't help laughing when she got the news.

Seeing Da Furen's appearance is very unhappy.

Everyone was busy congratulating Murong Yue, seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Qin Yongning got a third chance, but they were more happy than happy.

Of course, everyone will not forget to congratulate the eldest lady.

After all, both are sons-in-law, so it is something to be happy that they both passed the Jinshi examination.

"Miss, didn't Mr. Biao also pass the exam?" Xiangyu asked.

"Yes, my cousin is a smart man." Murong Wei smiled.

Zhou Che is also considered remarkable, she thinks that if there is no accident, Zhou Che can also be admitted to the Imperial Academy.

Now the emperor is going to Jinling after the palace examination. The examination for the Shuji is presided over by the cabinet and the Imperial Academy.

The rule of the Great Qin Dynasty was that non-jinshi did not enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet.

Almost all the ministers in the cabinet came from the Imperial Academy, and those who were admitted to the Imperial Academy could study for three years, and could stay in the capital after the academy was dismissed.But if you fail the exam, you can only go to other places to become an official.

The starting line is different, and the future achievements are also very different.

Entering the Hanlin Academy will be the prime minister, and the future of being a marquis and worshiping the prime minister is just around the corner.

The martial arts test was held later than the literary test, and the list was released two days later, and Liu Pingyi won No.5 in the second class.

Now it is necessary for people to clear up to see if they can stay in the capital or be released as an official.

Murong Wan'er seemed to be very proud of herself, and she was able to win the imperial concubine soon.

Murong Wei looked funny, thinking that Murong Wan'er would go to Liu's house like this, but she wondered if Liu Pingyi could be restrained?

Not to mention that little concubine, even Liu Pingyi might not like her temperament.

If she doesn't change, with this kind of disposition, she might be harmed at any time.

Murong Wei went to Aunt Zhou's place, and now Aunt Zhou has been pregnant for eight months. During this time, the eldest lady came out, and she changed her previous habits and became very low-key.

Even so, Murong Wei still didn't let down her vigilance, and told Mama Du to pay attention to the subordinates and others.

Even if the child is born, it may not necessarily grow up, right?

Just being a mother is strong. Even if Aunt Zhou doesn't like to fight by nature, she will become strong for the sake of her children.

"It's really lively outside. Today your second sister sent the dowry over, and tomorrow they are going to get married." Aunt Zhou said with emotion, "Wei'er, who is watching me, is going to get married too. Mother really..."

She covered her eyes with a veil.

Murong Wei hurriedly said: "Mother, don't do this. She's still pregnant, crying hurts her health. I'm married in the capital, and I can still see you if I want to. You don't need to be sad."

Aunt Zhou was finally happier, and said with a smile: "You see, I'm really worthless. Now you have a good future. Brother Che from the elder brother's family has also won a Jinshi. Mother is happy. These days, I am happy every day. "

Murong Wei comforted: "Mother will be happy every day from now on. Even if it's not for yourself, you should also think about my little brother, right? You have to see how she grows up safely."

"You're right." Aunt Zhou became serious.

She can no longer be as weak as she used to be.

In this case, the child will not be able to grow up after being born.

"Wei'er, Mother hasn't protected you well these years. Mother will take good care of your brother in the future." Aunt Zhou said firmly.

Murong Wei blinked and said playfully, "From now on, it's the daughter's job to protect the mother."

The next day, Murong Yue finally got married in a glorious manner.

Qin Yongning came to pick up the bride on a tall horse, ate and drank wine at Murong's house, and then Murong Fu carried his sister into the sedan chair on his back.

Chuichuidada all the way to Jianningbo Mansion.

After returning home on the third day, Murong Wei saw Qin Yongning for the first time.

Today, both he and Murong Yue looked refreshed and energetic.The man is refined and the woman is demure, what a good couple of gods and gods.

Murong Wei was happy for her sister in her heart, and after the two parties greeted each other, they sat down as the guest of honor.

The old lady looked at Qin Yongning with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yongning hasn't served in the Imperial Academy yet, right?"

"We'll have to wait a few more days until the Shujishi's exams will pass before they will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy."

"Okay, when the time comes, your eldest brother-in-law and you will both enter the Imperial Academy, so we should help each other." The eldest lady said with a smile.

Qin Yongning smiled and said: "Mother-in-law is being polite, Feng Lianjin is very talented, the son-in-law only depends on him, in the future he will have to take care of Feng Lianjin more."

Seeing what he said, the eldest lady didn't know whether she was happy or not.

I don't know whether Qin Yongning's words are polite or sarcastic.

It wasn't Feng Yu who was hit by Tan Hua.

The old lady seemed not very happy with what the eldest lady said, she felt that she was too persnickety, and said: "You husband and wife are returning home today, and you will go to see your grandfather and father later, and go back after having lunch."

"Grandmother said that my son-in-law is going to visit Mr. Murongge and his father-in-law."

Qin Yongning didn't sit for long before he and Murong Fu went to see the old man and the old man.

The fourth lady laughed and said, "Seeing the second son-in-law like this, he really loves Sister Yue."

Murong Yue blushed and said angrily: "Fourth Aunt actually came to laugh at me, my niece won't follow me."

The crowd laughed.

Murong Wei deliberately made a joke: "I don't know who said that he was afraid of getting married, but now he is very happy to see it."

Murong Yue gave her a gouged look, "Don't laugh at me, you are going to get married too. When you come back, I will definitely laugh back."

Murong Wei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, my sister doesn't dare, please forgive me. Grandma, please help me!"

She salivated and hid behind the old lady. The old lady nodded her head and scolded with a smile: "Look at you like a monkey, go out and say that you are a lady, I'm afraid no one will believe you. I see, you still You must recite the Buddhist scriptures carefully."

Murong Wei clung to the old lady's arm and said, "That's good. With the Buddha of my grandmother, what does it matter if I'm just a grandson? That's because I'm willing to be under the Five Fingers Mountain."

The old lady smiled all over her face: "You just mentioned the Buddhist scriptures. Tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival and Sakyamuni's birthday. Grandma wants to go to Huayan Temple to offer incense. Are you going?"

"Since it's the Buddha Bathing Festival, it's natural to go to the temple to offer incense, and eat some fate beans to form a bond with the Buddha." The lady said.

Murong Yue also said: "Tomorrow my mother-in-law also said that she would go to pilgrimage, but she said she would go to Da Ci'en Temple."

"Since you are married, you are a member of the family. Naturally, you went with your mother-in-law."

Murong Wei thought that it would be rare to go out once before getting married, and this time going out with her family would be rare in the future, so she agreed.

If you want to go out with your family, you shouldn't encounter any trouble.

In the morning of the next day, Murong Wei changed into a gouache spring shirt, with an eight-treasure beaded palace sash made of cloud silk tied around her waist, hidden in a lotus-colored skirt with floral ruyi patterns, she was very graceful and elegant.

One strand of black hair is braided and hangs by the ear, while the rest is in a double-screw bun, with pearls dotted on the emerald head.

It was April in the world, and Fang Fei happened to be sitting in a carriage on the way to Huayan Temple. Pedestrians could be seen everywhere. The spring was beautiful, and many people came out for a spring outing during the Buddha Bathing Festival.

In the distance, green grass is luxuriant, spread out like a meadow, and sometimes wild flowers can be seen dotted in it.

Red and white, light blue or deep purple, set off in the meantime, quite a bit of rural charm.

The apricot and pear blossoms on the roadside are all in bloom, the fragrance is tangy, the bees and butterflies are flying, and the blue sky is as clear as washing.

"It feels more comfortable outside than in the mansion, even the air is fresh."

Murong Wei slightly lifted the curtain and looked out.

Xiangtao hurriedly said: "My good lady, put up the curtain quickly, don't let anyone see you."

Murong Wei glared at her: "Don't worry, who would know who I am? Going out is for relaxation, and even if you are very restrained, it will be boring."

Xiangtao said: "Isn't the servant afraid that some scoundrels who don't have long eyes will look at the young lady's appearance and make trouble?"

"You little girl, don't fool me. There are dozens of people coming and going in our family. Who dares to make trouble? Doesn't it have eyes? Come on, look at your mouth, you are almost catching up with the housekeeper. Change Tomorrow I have to marry you early so as not to make noise in my ears."

Xiangtao pouted her mouth and was about to speak, when there was a commotion outside.

Murong Wei frowned, and suddenly saw a young man running towards her carriage, shouting as he ran, "Little lady, stop, don't you know me?"

Murong Wei looked at it confusedly, what's going on?
Xiangtao hastily put down the curtain, through the bamboo curtain she could still see the young man shouting vigorously outside, attracting everyone's attention.

"Little lady, Murong Wei!"

Murong Wei frowned, "What is that?"

Xiangtao was also very puzzled: "I don't know, we don't know each other. How could Miss know such a person?"

The guards of Murong's family had already gone up to stop the man, and the carriage seemed to have stopped because of this incident.

Murong Fu, who was escorting his grandmother's wife, stepped forward and scolded: "Who are you to call your sister-in-law's boudoir name here, and then talk nonsense and send you to the government!"

But the man yelled like a rascal: "Why am I talking nonsense, isn't your sister's name just called by people? Hehe, I might call you uncle brother."

Murong Fu was furious, "You rascal, you are crazy, come here, beat him away!"

"Who dares to hit me? Isn't your sister the Lord of Huarong Township? She and I have already made a private decision for life. Hehe, I have a handkerchief from her!"

After finishing speaking, he actually took out a peony handkerchief with white gauze, the peonies embroidered on it were lifelike, and there was the word Murong on it.

There were many people who went to Huayan Temple to offer incense, and many people stopped nearby to watch.

Seeing this situation, Murong Wei was so angry that her brows stood on end, she gritted her teeth and said, "Did I lose the handkerchief when I was in the room?" She recognized the handkerchief, it was indeed hers.In this case, someone in the house must have stolen the handkerchief, or the people in the yard should have done it together.

Xiang Tao said in a panic: "I don't know, but how is this possible, Miss Lu'er always has a lot of her personal things, and she took them all away."

Murong Wei watched with a sullen face as the rogue flaunted her handkerchief, fortunately, that handkerchief was only embroidered by Yuegu, not her.

Murong Fu was so angry that someone blocked his mouth, and cursed: "I don't know what the so-called thing is. She sister doesn't go out for half a year, when did she know something like you? How dare you slander the court by taking something belonging to a woman from nowhere? Your wife, Princess Luo, you are so courageous!"

Murong Guan also followed the convoy, at this moment, seeing the bustle, he stepped forward to take a look.

The surrounding onlookers also included family members of officials in the imperial court, and seeing this situation, there was a lot of discussion.

"This person looks like a rascal. Didn't the Huarong Township Lord confer the title of Concubine Luo? How could he have an affair with this person?"

"But it's not that simple, it's not that simple. Otherwise, why did he take this handkerchief to find her?"

The situation here also provoked the old lady and the eldest lady to send people to ask.

Murong Wei saw that the matter in front of her seemed to be developing in a bad direction, so she prepared to get out of the car.

The scoundrel smiled and said: "You can't if you don't go out? I'm a suave young master, but your sister just likes me, can't she? She often asks people to send me love letters, or let your servants forward them. What's the last name?" Zhou?... Oh, you have climbed a high branch these days, and you want to leave me, let me tell you, don't think about it!"

This person looked serious, as if Murong Wei really had something to do with him.

Murong Wei was trembling with anger, thinking again, could it be that he was alluding to Zhou An.

For a moment, the possibility of things came to her mind.

It must be the king of Qi!
It's just that he's not in the capital, so I don't know if he ordered this matter or someone else presided over it, but he used such a dirty method.

Didn't he just want to ruin her reputation?

How could Murong Wei endure others ruining her cherished reputation like this?

Murong Fu said angrily, "Shut his mouth!"

Let him talk nonsense again, and things will become more chaotic.

"Let me tell you, the men in your Murong family are all cowards, and the women are all scumbags. How dare you let me finish my sentence?"

Murong Guan scolded: "Hehe, I met someone who is even worse than me today. Who are you, you dare to touch porcelain with just a handkerchief, there are eight handkerchiefs like this in our mansion Bai, who knows which servant you stole from? How dare you scold me, this young master will let you know how powerful you are!"

After all, he punched the rascal in the face.

At this moment Murong Wei couldn't stand it anymore, she put on a veiled hat, and came to the front accompanied by Xiangtao.

Many guards blocked the man's mouth, the scoundrel saw Murong Wei got out of the car, and pointed at her to speak.

Murong Wei's voice was cold, "I want to know, you said that I have an affair with you, when and where did I meet, what did I give you, and what did I write? Tell you to be put in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and never come out."

Murong Fu said: "Third sister, don't worry about this matter, this person is clearly here to cause trouble, I'll have someone send him to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Have a good trial."

Murong Wei looked at the crowd and shook her head: "No, since this young master insisted on knowing me, and set up a trick, didn't he just want to see me? Okay, now that you've seen me, let's continue talking?"

The rascal whined and motioned, Murong Guan saw this, and removed the cloth from his mouth.

"Little lady, I have seen you, I..."

"Who is your little lady? Xiangtao, slap your mouth!"

Seeing the majestic look of the young lady, Xiangtao stepped forward angrily and slapped her face twice.

The rascal was dizzy for a moment, and then he heard Murong Wei's cold voice accompanied by condescending contempt: "You can slander me, too. I am the Lord of Huarong Township personally appointed by the emperor, and I am Princess Luo. I slander the court." Commander, you are so courageous to offend the family members of the imperial court. My lord should ask the imperial court, ask the Holy Majesty, who gave you the courage to make you despise the imperial court's law? Was it the emperor who gave you the courage or the imperial court? ! Not on your knees!"

When she broke down, she was so majestic and majestic that she frightened the scoundrel's legs for a moment, and Xiangtao kicked his leg, causing him to fall to the ground.

Murong Wei slightly lifted the veil of the veiled hat condescendingly, a murderous look flashed in her star-like black eyes: "Didn't I tell you to say it, you should continue to talk, Miss Ben listens carefully, let's see if you can say that you are ugly. You How dare you swear to the sky that if you tell a lie, you will be hit with five thunderbolts, and after you die, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell, and your bones will be ashes?"

The man was obviously a little timid, and when he saw Murong Wei's knife-like gaze, he flinched immediately.

"I, I, just know you, that handkerchief is yours, I don't need to swear..."

"This is made by the embroiderer in the mansion. I don't know how to do double-sided embroidery and back stitch embroidery. You can take any handkerchief and it will be mine. Then I have too many handkerchiefs to give away. Everyone has paranoia and a sick brain all day long fantasizing that it has something to do with me, so should I still meet people?"

She said this very harshly.

The onlookers saw that this person refused to swear, and their eyes flickered. After hearing Murong Wei's words, they felt that this person was sick.

Maybe it's really a problem of delusion. I fantasize about climbing up to the young lady all day long, thinking about what a dream.

"I, I...you..."

That person was momentarily speechless by Murong Wei's words.

"I can't tell, can I? Because you are mentally ill, and I don't want to argue with a lunatic. Today is the Buddha's Day, so let me show my kindness. It's hard for you to make a living like this. Why don't you become a monk and leave everything empty?" , wholeheartedly take refuge in the Buddha."

Murong Guan laughed and said, "Okay, I like this idea."

The corners of Murong Fu's mouth also turned up, "This is the best. Grandma has always believed in Buddhism. I didn't expect that she could save a poor person by offering incense today. It's really great merit."

Many people onlookers laughed.

Some discerning people have already seen that this person deliberately caused trouble, and the sturdy Miss Murong just now was too powerful to think of such a way.

Isn't this fatal?

"No, I'm not crazy. I said, I'm not crazy. Someone asked me to come. I don't want to become a monk!" When the man heard that he was going to be sent to convert to Buddha, he immediately stroked his hair in fear.

Just at this moment, a group of people came on horseback, the leader was wearing a stand-up collar, coiled dragon narrow sleeves, and black hair tied up with a winged crown. He came in a hurry, it was Xiao Mingrui or someone else.

Seeing this situation, he stopped immediately.

Murong Wei raised her head and was taken aback when she saw him, when did he come back?

"What's going on?" Xiao Mingrui came back only yesterday, and today he heard that her family was going to Huayan Temple to offer incense, so he simply rode a horse for a spring outing.

The rascal yelled: "Lord Luo, don't marry this woman, she has an affair with me, she..."

"Crack!" Xiao Mingrui waved his hand, and slammed the whip in that person's face fiercely, with such force that he threw him out, vomiting blood.

His eyes were cold, "If your mouth is so dirty, don't talk anymore."

The scene was suddenly silent.

Murong Wei's eyes widened. She had never seen such a sinister side of Xiao Mingrui before. The mood that was not very pleasant because of this incident seemed to be relieved all of a sudden, and the sullenness in her heart was also relieved by his one. The whip was broken.

He was venting his anger for her, okay, good fight, good fight!

Don't think that I, Murong Wei, fight alone, I still have a husband!
Looking at his crisp and neat appearance, he has the majestic demeanor of a general on the battlefield.

Murong Wei pleased Xiao Mingrui with adoring gazes, amused and angry in her heart.

The rascal was beaten until he vomited blood, and whimpered, "You bastards beat up good people..."

"What are you, you dare to slander this king's concubine, come and take this guy away."

He has to ask himself to see who gave him the courage to slander Murong Wei in broad daylight.

I can't think of those people.

Murong Wei spat, "My lord, this guy is a mentally ill person. My servant pity him for his poor life, and I want him to convert to Buddha and become a monk."

Xiao Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and almost couldn't laugh out loud, seeing how serious and compassionate she looked, those who didn't know really thought she was so kind and simple.

His little princess, there are really weird things in her mind, and she is so cruel that she can even think of such a punishment.

Just look at the appearance of that rogue with six impurity, how can he become a monk?

At that time, it seems good to put him in Huayan Temple. The monks here like to practice hard. Presumably this person can practice hard, and maybe one day he can become an eminent monk.

Xiao Mingrui straightened his expression and said with a smile: "It's not bad. I heard that Huayan Temple has always been strict in temple style. Why don't you become a monk here. If he becomes an eminent monk in the future, he will definitely thank me for waiting for a chance. .”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the rogue's struggle, the guards stepped forward to arrest him, gagged him and took him away.

Of course, even before he went to Huayan Temple, he still had to interrogate him thoroughly.

Murong Wei bowed and saluted, and smiled slightly: "The prince is really compassionate, my daughter admires it."

Murong Fu, Murong Guan and others also stepped forward to salute one by one.

Seeing that there was no good show to watch, the people around also dispersed one after another.

Now that I saw Xiao Mingrui, I couldn't say hello, so the old lady and the eldest lady also got out of the carriage.

Murong Wei pulled off the square handkerchief, looked bored, and wondered who made it.

A sharp light flashed in her eyes, Murong Wei did not allow anyone to dare to attack her.

This matter must be investigated clearly.

At this time, Xiao Mingrui had already learned what had happened from Murong Fu, his eyes immediately darkened, and he groaned coldly in his heart.

Eight times out of ten.Ninth was made by his good brother King Qi.

Even if it wasn't him, it was the people around him who did it.

Xiangtao put away the handkerchief, feeling suffocated in her heart, she felt ashamed that she didn't take good care of the house and made people cheat.

Although Lu'er has always been in charge of Murong Wei's jewelry and clothing, Xiang Tao is also a big maid, why didn't she notice that these things were missing?
The old lady didn't show up just now, seeing Murong Wei's aura to solve the matter perfectly, she was quite appreciative in her heart.

You just need to have the bearing of being a housewife, otherwise anyone will dare to bully you.

Murong Wan'er supported the eldest lady to stand aside, and muttered to herself: "Hmph, I don't know where I provoked someone, it really ruined the reputation of the Murong family."

The eldest lady sneered: "She has such a thing in front of her face. As the daughter of the Murong family, you have a pretty face? You don't even look at your own virtue! You still have the nerve to criticize others."

Murong Wan'er blushed immediately, and was ridiculed by the Da Furen again, she felt great hatred in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend Da Furen, so she could only get angry secretly.
