imperial concubine

Chapter 110
After hearing the fourth prince finished singing, Huo Jing also got up quickly.Among the three, Su Wan's level is the highest, and his poems are the best.The best poetry comes last, of course, so now it's his turn.

Huo Jing chanted slowly: "Ice and snow are the womb of Rongyu, and tenderness is close to the window. When the fragrance comes back from a clear dream, the flowers bloom on the beauty's head." After singing, he said with a smile: "The haste It's a poor work, please don't make jokes."

Two of them in the booth savored carefully. Although the words used are extremely simple, they describe the facts without adding comments, but they are thought-provoking.Huo Jing was able to acquire such poems in such a hurry, he really has some real talents and learning, he is not a simple martial artist.

After Huo Jing finished reciting the poem, he immediately turned to look at Su Wan.Su Wan smiled proudly, then got up and chanted: "The smoke is deserted, the pine and bamboo path, thousands of Yao flowers break through the cold spring. The old crane flies to the sky in the moonlight, and the beauty goes down the mountain to step on the shadow of the flowers."

Su Wan's poems are obviously higher than those of Huo Jing and the fourth prince.Originally, Su Wan should put her poetry at the same level as the two of them, so as not to offend others.But she wanted to humiliate the Fourth Prince, so naturally she would not do so.

Unexpectedly, when the Fourth Prince heard Su Wan's poem, not only did he not show any expression of hatred and dissatisfaction, but he was full of surprise, as if he had discovered some incredible treasure.

Just when Su Wan was puzzled, he only heard the fourth prince say: "Miss Su really deserves to be the most talented woman in the capital, the one who was selected at the Nobile Banquet. Today, I am really lucky to hear Miss Su's poems. "

Su Wan, who was already very puzzled, became even more puzzled. She obviously didn't take the fourth prince seriously, so she wrote poems of that level to attack the fourth prince. Why now, the fourth prince started to praise herself instead. ?

Although she was puzzled in her heart, Su Wan never neglected her words, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. It's just a casual writing, and it's not elegant. If there are any deficiencies, please forgive me, Your Highness."

These few words are like insulting the Fourth Prince again.Su Wan's substandard works are already at this level, so how can the poems written by the fourth prince be called poems?

It's just that the fourth prince turned a blind eye to the cynicism in Su Wan's words, patted his legs and said with a smile: "Miss Su is fine! General Huo, it seems that you and I lost this round of competition! Come on, let's drink together A cup!"

Although Huo Jing has been silent and Su Wan's humiliation was not aimed at him, Huo Jing can still feel Su Wan's deep malice. For some reason, Su Wan has such deep hostility towards the Fourth Prince .

Hearing the fourth prince's greeting, Huo Jing also held up his wine glass. Anyway, he still had a good impression of Su Wan, so he would help her if he could, "Your Highness is right, but I lost in Miss Su's hands. A certain heart is convinced!"

In this way, with Huo Jing as the backing, it would not seem so abrupt for the fourth prince to be suppressed by Su Wan just now.At least with this level, the fourth prince will not be angry because Su Wan's poems are well done.

Seeing Huo Jing who was winking at her frequently, Su Wan just swallowed back her more intense words.After all, Huo Jing treated him very well before, and if he didn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, he couldn't make a big fuss in Huo Jing's other courtyard.

The fourth prince sitting on the side heard what Huo Jing said, and nodded with a smile, "General Huo is very right. No wonder Miss Su is the most talented woman in the capital, she is really extraordinary. I don't know what kind of talents such a woman needs." match it."

Seeing the questioning gaze cast by the fourth prince, Su Wan knew that he was asking if he had made an appointment.It's a pity that until now, I don't have anyone I can see clearly, and the only one who can see clearly has already become an enemy.

Thinking of this, Su Wan pretended to be shy, with a blush on her face, Zhenshou said softly: "Su Wan has been busy studying, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting these years. As for other things, Su Wan hasn't considered yet. Pass."

Hearing Su Wan's answer, the Fourth Prince was overjoyed.Doesn't this mean that Su Wan's value has not been discovered yet?I have also reached the age of accepting a concubine, if I can accept Su Wan as a concubine, I can gain both fame and profit, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
So the fourth prince said to Su Wan: "So that's the case. However, with Miss Su's current reputation, I'm afraid that apart from the royal relatives in the capital, there will be no other marriages that are well-matched."

Now Su Wan's reputation resounds throughout the capital. The winner of the golden hairpin banquet last year got the golden hairpin on the first day, and after seven days, he became the current third concubine. Su Wan is now waiting for a price, just waiting for a suitable one. Anyone who pays a reasonable price can take it away.

The meaning behind the words of the fourth prince is to hint to Su Wan that he is a very suitable candidate. After all, the relatives of the country are not as good as the emperor's relatives, and the emperor's relatives are not as good as the prince. Among the princes, he is the only one who has no concubine. .

It's a pity that Su Wan turned a deaf ear to the fourth prince's hints, and just said with a smile: "Su Wan doesn't think so. In fact, as long as the two of them have a heart-to-heart bond, Su Wan doesn't care about their backgrounds."

Although he didn't say it clearly, in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, this was tantamount to Su Wan directly rejecting him.Moreover, Su Wan was still satirizing that she only had a family background, but did not have the talents to match it.

As a result, the fourth prince's complexion changed abruptly, and then he recovered, and said with a smile: "Miss Su has some truths. But the girl must be careful, there are always some people who use the name of a talented person to bluff and deceive, miss They were tricked."

Just now Su Wan joked that the fourth prince was not good at learning, and the fourth prince immediately hit back at Su Wan, saying that Su Wan is just a nerd, if he goes to the street, he is afraid that he will be deceived by a liar who doesn't even know a few characters.

Hearing the smell of gunpowder between the two getting stronger, Huo Jing, who was on the main seat, said with a smile: "You two are dragons and phoenixes among men, a nobleman of the emperor, and a talented general. Seeing the two of you at the same time is really a blessing for Sansheng."

The fourth prince's complexion improved a bit. After all, Huo Jing is now one of the most powerful generals in the court, and he can't afford to offend him. What's more, Huo Jing's words are very pleasant, and he is also very useful.

Looking at Su Wan who was smiling slightly in front of him, the fourth prince also smiled, and then said: "General Huo's words are wrong, there is also a noble son from a poor family here today, don't you just talk about us but forget yourself?"

Huo Jing was born in a poor family, and he was promoted step by step to the current position of general only by accumulating military achievements.He is not as good as the other two when it comes to talent and learning, but when it comes to marching and fighting, the Fourth Prince and Su Wan are no match for Huo Jing.

Huo Jinglang laughed, then picked up the wine glass and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a Luanfeng Xiangji in my little courtyard today. In my opinion, the three of us should have a drink together!"

Although Su Wan still had doubts about the fourth prince, she had to give face to Huo Jing, the master.What's more, if the person I saw just now is really the person I'm looking for, I absolutely can't turn against Huo Jing now.

Thinking of this, Su Wanzhi let go of the doubts in his heart, and then said with a smile: "You two are polite, Su Wan is just a girl, how can she be compared with General Huo and the fourth prince? But it is a great honor to meet you two today. Just have a drink."

Hearing that Su Wan finally spoke, Huo Jing finally felt relieved.If the two disagree with each other, even if they use their position as a general, they will definitely offend one of them. This is the best result.

Putting down the wine glass, the fourth prince became more determined. He must get Su Wan no matter what. With her talent and learning, she will definitely become an extremely powerful help on his way to the throne in the future!
However, judging from the situation just now, Su Wan was very hostile to him for some reason.Thinking of this, the fourth prince glanced lightly at Huo Jing, thinking in his heart, does she like Huo Jing and hate himself for ruining her meeting with her lover?

The fourth prince took the jug and poured himself a glass, and then pretended to ask Su Wan unintentionally, "I originally wanted to ask General Huo about some military tactics and tactics today, but I never thought that Miss Su would be here. I should have known earlier Don't come to be such a spoiled person!"

While speaking, the Fourth Prince's eyes were fixed on Su Wan.He knew that Huo Jing was already an old man, and he couldn't tell anything from his face, but Su Wan was just a woman who hadn't left the cabinet yet, and if he suddenly said something important to him, there would definitely be a reaction on his face and eyes.

As soon as the words fell, Su Wan said with a smile: "I only met General Huo once, and General Huo was very kind to me at that time. That's why I came to visit today. You must know that His Highness is coming, Su Wan will definitely not miss today. "

Probing with words, watching the reaction on the face, these things are very familiar to Su Wan. In the previous life in the harem, the queen mother taught her these things one by one. I never thought that someone would want to use this kind of thing today. Come and test yourself.

Seeing that Su Wan's face was not red and her eyes were not shrunk, the fourth prince was sure that although she avoided him like a plague in what she said, she was absolutely telling the truth.There is really no relationship between her and Huo Jing as she guessed.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince felt relieved.If there is really some relationship between Su Wan and Huo Jing, then if he wants to take Su Wan as his concubine, he must consider Huo Jing's reaction. Since there is nothing between them, then he can do whatever he wants.

Hearing the sarcasm in Su Wan's words, Huo Jing quickly took up the conversation with a smile, "What happened that day was just a matter of raising a finger. It is fate that the two of you meet here today, why don't you have another drink?"

Although they are in their own courtyard today, one is His Royal Highness, the other is a talented woman from the capital, one can't afford to offend, and the other doesn't want to offend, so they can only be caught in the middle and be a peacemaker.

The three of them drank another glass together, and before they put down the glass, they heard the third prince say: "Miss Su Wan is so beautiful, and she is so talented, it can be said that she has both talents and looks. I don't know if Marquis Mighty has made an appointment for you?"

Although the words were very simple, all three people present could hear the meaning.The meaning of the fourth prince is that if Su Wan has not made an appointment for marriage, he would want Su Wan to marry him.

Su Wan frowned, and then said coldly to the fourth prince: "In matters of marriage, Su Wan doesn't have to work for her father, she can make the decision herself!" She snorted coldly, and said to Huo Jing: "General Huo, Su Wan is a bit too drunk today , let me say goodbye first."

While talking, regardless of whether Huo Jing said or not, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion with Zhuru.

Looking at the backs of the two going away, Huo Jing frowned and said: "Your Highness, what you said is a little inappropriate. How can you directly ask her if she has promised her in front of the girl's family? I must be very angry with you."

The fourth prince just smiled lightly, but did not answer.Just looking at Su Wan's back that was drifting away, he thought to himself, why should he care about her attitude?Anyway, the person I like will definitely not be able to escape from my palm!
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of the fourth prince's mouth, and he raised his head to drink the wine in his hand.
