Chapter 76

"This poem must not have been written by Emperor Leng Yeying." Sheng Qu asked Leng Yeying suddenly.

Leng Yeying was not annoyed, and admitted straightforwardly: "Yes, this poem is indeed not written by me, but by my versatile queen. Does the Lord Sheng Qu have any opinions?"

"I don't dare, it's just that this poem seems familiar, and the lines are full of female descriptions, so my country's lord dares to ask, and I hope the emperor will not blame it." Sheng Qu stared at Leng Wangyou for a moment. .

There was another commotion at the bottom, I didn't expect the beauty of this poem, it was written by this woman Leng Wangyou, it made people look at it with admiration, it is a blessing for Leng Guo to have such a talented woman.

"Everyone has his own advantages, so who do you think will win?"

Leng Yeying asked the most critical question. This is hard to scare the civil servants from various countries below. If you want to say other countries, you are afraid that the emperor of your own country will blame you. This is a dilemma.

"Since everyone has scruples, Your Majesty, why don't some people present get a secret ticket based on the evaluation of the civil servants just now. Is it possible? First, everyone can choose the best one fairly, without fear of being blamed, and second, many people evaluate it. That's really good. Your Majesty, what do you think?" Leng Wangyou had already seen the hesitation of the three ministers below, and couldn't help but speak out for them. As expected, all three of them expressed gratitude to her look.

Leng Yeying looked at the two people on the side, and seeing that there was no objection, she said, "Okay, we will do as the queen says."

He ordered someone to bring a pile of pens and paper, and distributed them to everyone sitting below, and after a short while, they all finished writing, and Leng Wangyou asked the maid beside him to take back all the rice paper.

"Okay, now that the poetry selections that you think are good have been voted out, so next, I will calculate it by the palace, what do you think?"

"The next official sees the way, the next official believes that the empress will not cheat for personal gain."

"Yes, the officer also agrees."

The people below all cast their eyes on the queen's admiration and agreed.

During a cup of tea, Leng Wangyou calculated the number of votes for each poem, and waved Yin'er to tell everyone the result.

"13 votes for the Eastern Territory, 12 votes for the Wu Kingdom, and 16 votes for the Leng Kingdom." As the voice fell, the ministers of the Leng Kingdom shouted hello. Some even wept with joy.

Leng Wangyou was puzzled, and looked at Leng Yeying for an answer, but Leng Yeying didn't talk to her, but toasted a glass of wine to the other two countries below: "Acceptance, acquiescence."

"You are polite, you are polite. The queen's poems are wonderful. We are willing to bet and admit defeat."

"Well, the Lord Sheng Qu also said that the loser will be punished, so the punishment I want you to accept is to retreat ten miles from your border camp. I wonder if you can do it." Leng Yeying raised his eyebrows and said that he had As far as the plan in mind is concerned, this is only the first step.

"Don't bully others too much, why make our country retreat ten miles." The minister under Sheng Qu stood out unconvinced.

Leng Yeying's pupils shrank slightly inadvertently, and a sharp light flashed at the bottom of her eyes: "Your master hasn't spoken yet, why are you interrupting. Someone, drag it out."

"Slow down." Sheng Qu's eyes shone with the deep luster of black gemstones, and he stopped the guards who came, "Your Majesty, the ministers of my country's lord will teach me a lesson, so I don't bother the emperor to do it. As for camping and retreating ten miles, my lord is always willing to gamble and admit defeat. Naturally, the promise will be kept, but the lord of the country wants to borrow the queen from the emperor, the queen is like an old friend of the lord of the country, just chatting, the emperor doesn't mind."

Hearing what Sheng Qu said, Leng Yeying hesitated a little, and Sheng Qu pursued the victory: "As long as the queen can chat with the lord, the lord is willing to take the initiative to retreat for twenty miles."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of gasping voices. Leng Yeying frowned. In Wangyou's pure eyes, there is still a little tangle in his heart.

"Okay. I hope King Sheng Qu will keep his promise." Leng Yeying's clenched hands in his sleeves seemed to lose strength after saying this, and they loosened powerlessly. He didn't dare to look at the woman beside him again. eyes.

When Leng Wangyou got up, Wu Haotian saw her two eyeballs under the long eyelashes, like talking elves, flickering, a crystal tear dripping silently, so quiet that no one noticed, except The self who has been looking at her all the time, in fact, he also wanted to make this request just now, but he didn't want to be preempted by Sheng Qu.

Watching the two leave, he could only drink dull wine, and Leng Yeying was the same, feeling very uncomfortable, drinking one cup at a time, afraid that he would not be drunk, but he longed for Leng Wangyou to understand him , I live for the country, so even if it means sacrificing the people around him, he can do it, but she is the only one who has reason to keep cutting her messy hair.

Besides, when the two walked out of the hall, they were speechless all the way, just walking aimlessly, Leng Wangyou was a little sad, it turned out that he couldn't get the life he wanted from the beginning to the end, no matter it was before or now.

"Poppies? Is this a forbidden flower? How could there be in the inner courtyard of the palace?" Sheng Qu, who saw the sea of ​​poppies for the first time, was as surprised as Wu Haotian.

Leng Wangyou smiled wryly: "It's for the emperor's sake in this palace, it's just that the scenery is familiar to me." This sentence does not mean to show off, on the contrary, it is mixed with a little sadness.

At this time, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the clouds gathered and thickened, as if they were about to be suppressed.Immediately after the lightning and thunder, the sky was torn open with flashes of light, accompanied by the deafening rolling thunder, which made people feel hair-raising.

Leng Wangyou was startled, it's over, the autumn has been dry for a long time and there has been no rain for a long time, unexpectedly it rained at night, smelling the stuffy air, Leng Wangyou felt a sudden pain in his heart, it seems that he needs to take medicine up.

"Master Sheng Qu, I may have to excuse you for a moment. I'm feeling unwell and I want to rest first." After finishing speaking, the pain had already come, and Leng Wangyou glanced at Wanzi and Pingli. The servant girl was also clever, and immediately helped her up. Looking at the weather, she knew that the master's illness had fallen again.

"Queen, are you alright, do you want to call an imperial physician to show you?" Seeing that Leng Wangyou's face turned pale, Sheng Qu was worried and wanted to help him up himself, but it was in the palace after all, men and women could not kiss each other, let alone The other party was the empress, and she forcibly retracted her outstretched hand.

"It's not a problem." Leng Wangyou said with difficulty, "I will be fine if I take a rest, I hope the king will not blame you, and the promised request can be carried out."

"Don't worry, the master of this country will." Sheng Qu assured, adding a sentence in his heart, for you, I can do anything.

Leng Wangyou blessed Fushen again to express her gratitude, and then asked two maids to help her into the bedroom, and now she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
