From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

After a brief silence, the Peony Building erupted in cheers like a tsunami.

Everyone stood up and looked at Miss Yueyun excitedly, as if they had seen a goddess, and they wanted to worship her.

The atmosphere in the venue reached a climax, and the "atmosphere group" upstairs immediately sprinkled petals and hung huge colorful lanterns, pushing the atmosphere to another peak.

I don't know how long it took, but with Miss Yueyun's slight bow, the venue became quiet.

Miss Yueyun opened her red lips and said softly: "I am so humble that I am really humbled by the favor of you gentlemen."

"I am new here, it's not that I don't want to meet you, but I am empty in my heart. I dare not easily contact you gentlemen, so as not to spoil your interest."

I apologized and expressed that I needed comfort. The means of the courtesan were really amazing.

Someone immediately shouted, "Miss Yueyun, don't be afraid. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable when you first come to Lin'an. Anyone who dares not understand you is trying to make things difficult for me!"

"Miss Yueyun, you can talk to me about the emptiness in your heart. I will definitely help you solve your worries."

Zhou Yuan was stunned when he heard this. He was a warm-hearted man who licked his dog. He should go to the back of the line.

Miss Yueyun continued, "You gentlemen, you don't know that Yueyun is a good girl from a good family. Her family has a little money, so she has been studying since she was a child and has some talent."

"Who knew that bandits would suddenly come, and my family was tragically killed, and all the property was robbed. I was lucky to escape."

"I was really desperate, so I fled to Lin'an and became a courtesan here."

At this point, two drops of tears flowed from her eyes, and she trembled and said, "So, please don't despise Yueyun because she is too old, and don't mind that Yueyun doesn't know how to entertain guests."

The pitiful look made Zhou Yuan, an old driver, feel distressed.

This acting is so good!

"Oh my God! Miss Yueyun is from Yunzhou!"

"Half a month ago, Yunzhou was hit by bandits. The whole city was robbed and countless people died!"

"I thought Miss Yueyun was a courtesan trained by Mudan Tower, but I didn't expect that she was a talented girl from a good family who came here in distress."

A young man from a noble family stepped forward and said loudly: "Miss Yueyun's experience is heartbreaking. As long as the girl is willing, I am willing to marry the girl and take care of her for the rest of her life."

As soon as the voice fell, another person shouted: "How shameless Mr. Jia is. Knowing that Miss Yueyun has suffered a great disaster and is heartbroken, he took advantage of her and plotted against the law."

"That's right! Jia is taking advantage of her, which is really shameless."

"I am the only one who really wants to take care of Miss Yueyun. It's not for her beauty, but because I admire her."

There was a quarrel below. In an instant, no one was pointing the spear at Miss Yueyun. Everyone was no longer dissatisfied with her, but only had deep sympathy and pity.

So Miss Yueyun finally said: "Thank you for your understanding, gentlemen. When the time is right, Yueyun will take the initiative to meet you. I have been in a gloomy mood recently, so I will not meet you again."

She bowed deeply and was about to return to the embroidery building.

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly said: "Miss Yueyun, since you are depressed, I dare to go back to the room with you to chat about poetry and romance."

Yueyun looked miserable, but she was already cursing in her heart. I don't want to serve you pigs, you are not done yet!

She didn't dare to get angry, because the nanny had given her a list, and the idiot in front of her was exactly the kind that she couldn't offend.

So she could only whisper: "Please forgive me, sir, Yueyun can only relieve her depression by reading poetry."

"That's easy!"

The man spread out his white fan and said lightly: "The pipa tells the wind and rain, how sad, the beauty in the embroidered building in the deep courtyard sighs again. The wine is cold, the candle is dry, the tears are sobbing, the heart is broken, and there are many separations in life."

"I wonder if this "Crow Crying at Night" can move Miss Yueyun?"

Yueyun was about to deny it, but cheers broke out all around.

"Good! Good lyrics!"

"What a good song "The Night Cry of the Crow", it is obviously written on the spur of the moment, and it describes Miss Yueyun!"

"Li Yunhua is worthy of being a juren! He is worthy of being the first talent in Lin'an Prefecture! His impromptu works are of such a high standard."

A man in white said slowly: "This poem is not particularly good, it is a bit thin, and there are few emotional changes, but it is better to be an impromptu work, and it is indeed talented."

This person's words seemed to be very important, and no one spoke, but just nodded.

Li Yunhua clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Guo."

Zhou Yuan whispered: "What are their backgrounds?"

As a Jinyiwei, Wang Ang naturally found out clearly.

"The lyricist is Li Yunhua, the young man who I just mentioned to you, the chief of the Criminal Justice and Censorate."

"This man in white is named Kong Li, with the courtesy name Cunzhen. He is a descendant of a sage."Hua Hengyi, passed the imperial examination at the age of nineteen, and resigned from office. "

Zhou Yuan was stunned. Passed the imperial examination at the age of nineteen, this is the best of the best students! And resigned from office, so awesome.

Zhou Yuan also knew something about the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He was a fourth-rank official, at the same level as the prefect, a real powerful boss.

With so many people praising her, Cai Ni might not be able to withstand the pressure and be forced to meet Li Yunhua!

Damn, if you want to be Cai Ni's lover, ask me Zhou Yuan if I agree!

"Mr. Li is talented, I admire him very much, and I dare not disobey."

Forced by the situation, she really couldn't refuse. Miss Yueyun forced a smile and whispered: "This "Crow Crying at Night" can naturally impress me, Mr. Li, please follow me to the embroidery building. "

Being praised by so many people and successfully becoming the guest of honor, Li Yunhua was very proud and his eyes were full of pride.

The people around him could only sigh when they saw Li Yunhua take the lead.

And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Wait!"

The voice came from the corner and immediately attracted countless eyes.

Miss Yueyun looked up and was immediately overjoyed. She couldn't hide the smile and surprise on her face.

It's the young master! Did he come to Lin'an Mansion to find me!

Miss Yueyun was naturally Cai Ni, and she was only infinitely excited at the moment.

"Who are you?"

Being interrupted was equivalent to being provoked in public, and Li Yunhua's face suddenly sank.

Under countless gazes, Zhou Yuan stood up and said softly: "I am also from Yunzhou, and I have known Miss Yueyun before. I want to chat with her tonight. "

Li Yunhua sneered angrily: "Are you kidding? "

Cai Ni also hurriedly said: "I do know you, but I have said before that I am only here for the poems. Please come back another day."

These words can be regarded as maintaining the rules of Mudan Tower and her dignity, but Cai Ni believes that Zhou Yuan can do it!

Sure enough, Zhou Yuan said arrogantly: "That broken poem is so disgusting that it makes people feel dirty. How can it be worthy of Miss Yueyun."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around!

I have seen arrogant people, but I have never seen such arrogant people. They don't give Li Yunhua any face at all!

This is basically equivalent to slapping him in the face in public!

Li Yunhua took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If you can't write a better poem than this, I will make you pay the price. ”

In front of so many people, he had already restrained his emotions.

And Zhou Yuan said loudly: "I have known Miss Yueyun for a long time. I am really moved to meet her again today. I am just writing lyrics, and my emotions are surging."

After speaking, he strode to the middle.

Everyone took the initiative to make way for him.

Zhou Yuan walked to the front of the stage, looked at Cai Ni on the stage, took a deep breath, and murmured: "After the dream, the tower is locked high, and the curtains are lowered when I wake up from the wine."

"Nothing more!"

"It's really mediocre!"

Some people around have already snorted disdainfully.

And Zhou Yuan continued: "Last year, when the spring hatred came, the falling flowers were alone, and the swallows flew in the light rain. "

Many scholars' eyes lit up immediately, and the person who had just mocked them was also shocked.

What a beautiful sentence! What a vivid artistic conception! It is simply not something that mortals can write, it is clearly the work of a fairy.

When everyone was immersed in it, Zhou Yuan said again: "I remember the first time I saw the moon and clouds, the double heart-shaped silk dress."

"The pipa strings speak of lovesickness, the bright moon was there at that time, and it once shone on the colorful clouds returning."

Until the last sentence was finished, the entire Peony Tower was silent.

Countless scholars stayed there stupidly, constantly reminiscing, intoxicated, unable to extricate themselves.

And Cai Ni on the stage, looking at Zhou Yuan with a gentle face, was already in tears.
