Of course, among these versions, some directly say that they are His Majesty and the Queen, just because of one thing!
After all, the empress is so talented in literature, she is the only one!
Being able to produce those eternal and absolute second couplets so casually.
but.
No matter what other versions are like, Xia Tingyu still likes the story of the first day just as she said.
The story is that a girl couldn't understand Xu Ren of the Xu family and Zuo Guangli, the young master of the Zuo family, so she came down and casually made a couplet that even the famous talent Xu Ren couldn't make, and then easily made the couplet. Those other pairs.
After that, Xu Ren and Zuo Guangli became angry, and the girl took action directly, leaving the sentence "Let the Zuo family come to me on their own."
What a pity!
Simple, straightforward, and not a lot of mess!
The most important thing is that Xia Tingyu likes how powerful Su Changan is portrayed in this story. He can speak words that others cannot match, and he doesn't say much about Xia Fengxiang's existence.
Xia Tingyu turned her body slightly to one side, and the white lining she was wearing casually suddenly slid down her shoulders. A large patch of milky white snow appeared, and there were even some water drops on it, making it even more crystal clear, like amber hair. Light.
Xia Tingyu didn't care about that, she still wiped her body, her fingers roaming freely on her skin, and her foxy eyes winced and smiled, but that was all.
Kun Ling gently raised his eyes to look at the beauty in the world, and then his face flushed. He didn't dare to look again. He lowered his head and said anxiously: "I heard from Zuo Mansion that they all think that now His Majesty and the Queen went to [Zi Ya Ju] specifically to wait for the Xu family. The Zuo family fell into the trap, and then Xu Ren and Zuo Guangli were fooled. Moreover, Xu Zuiyin's attitude was as if he ignored Xu Ren completely. In this case, His Majesty will really start to take action against the Zuo family and the Xu family. And then His Majesty will be entrusted by Mu Xu to let Xu Zuiyin leave the Xu family. After all, the news sent to the court a few days ago, Mu Xu Xu is going to the southeast."
Speaking of this, Kun Ling noticed that Xia Tingyu looked up at her and pointed at the clothes hanging on the shelf. Kun Ling immediately understood and quickly took the clothes over, and then continued: "But the old lady of the Zuo family didn't squeak, so they couldn’t believe it.”
Xia Tingyu couldn't help but snort as she stood up. Hu'er's eyes looked at Kun Ling with joy: "The young couple went out for a walk, and the Zuo family just thinks so much? You really don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on the door if you don't do anything bad. Besides, So many people actually think that it is targeted at them. Sure enough, it is easy for people to have wild thoughts after staying in this capital for a long time."
While talking, Xia Tingyu gently took off the water-stained lining and dressed again with Kun Ling's help.
Kun Ling was cautious.
But just as she was helping Xia Tingyu put on her coat, Xia Tingyu gently lifted Kun Ling's chin with her index finger. Hu'er looked at Kun Ling carefully with a smile in her eyes: "I want to find a way to help you get rid of it on your face." Please find time to find Zhang Wenjing with me and let him take a look."
Kun Ling blinked, not knowing what to say.
Xia Tingyu smiled: "Just listen to me, got it?"
Saying this, Xia Tingyu gently pinched Kun Ling's chin, smiled, and then made Kun Ling nod with his hand.
Then, Xia Tingyu said with a smile: "Well, you are good, just listen to me."
Kun Ling blushed and did not dare to look directly into Xia Tingyu's eyes.
The corner of Xia Tingyu's mouth raised: "Ignore that, it is not my turn to intervene in the Zuo family or the Xu family. My father has his own arrangements. Maybe he has already contacted him? Shen Yue has been in contact with me for a long time. Isn’t the sky always mysterious?”
But when he said this, Xia Tingyu looked at Kun Ling: "Speaking of which, counting the days, the previous assassination should have been delivered."
Kun Ling thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it's almost done. It should be delivered in the next few days. Your Highness, the prince will probably be angry."
Xia Tingyu got dressed: "Why are you so angry? My father, you look fierce, but in your heart the scale is accurate. Is Xia Fengxiang assassinated so easily? If he could be assassinated, he would have died long ago. If he could, he would be dead long ago. Injuring the queen is probably enough to make my father laugh. But it will make him angry. I am afraid that this time Xia Fengxiang talked about repairing and compiling books. He spent so much time building academies and recruiting students. Great Confucian scholars came to Shu just to win the hearts of scholars, but what happened? Su Changan came to compile and repair books."
At this point, Xia Tingyu turned to look at Kun Ling, squinted his eyes slightly, bit his lips, and reached out to pinch Kun Ling's cheek: "Kun Ling, how come he is so smart? He helped Xia Fengxiang to make the rear so solid. How did he come up with the idea of editing books? And the matter of seeing a doctor, he is still seeing people for free. How many doctors from a medical school are willing to come to the capital? This has won the hearts of scholars."
Kun Ling's face was rubbed, but he didn't dare to resist, so he looked at his Highness.
Xia Tingyu suddenly stopped and said with a puzzled expression: "And I still haven't figured out how a person from a rural village can be so smart and read so many books."
After saying that, Xia Tingyu shook her head, and at the same time loosened her grip on Kun Ling and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about this. We haven't seen each other for almost thirteen days. It's annoying to me. Remember today?" Send me the book."
Kun Ling rubbed his face and nodded gently: "Yes."
Xia Tingyu turned around and stopped torturing Kun Ling. Instead, she walked towards the desk on one side, humming a folk song from Shu.
When I came to the desk, there were some poems written by Su Changan before, as well as some poems written by Su Changan.
But in the middle is the painting of Su Changan's youthful moment when he flashed past Xia Tingyu to save someone in that restaurant.
just
The person is painted, but the face is not painted.
Because Xia Tingyu couldn't draw.
"Your Highness, Master Shen is back. He has also brought back several scholars who went to Beijing from Shu and said they want to see you."
At this moment, the voice of a maid came from outside the house.
When Xia Tingyu heard this, she didn't think much and just said, "Let him wait for me in the lobby."
The maid outside the room responded and left.
Kun Ling, on the other hand, brought the fleece over.
After Xia Tingyu finished dressing, she looked at Kun Ling: "My father has found a few people for me to take to the Shangyuan Poetry Festival."
Kun Ling immediately replied: "Three of them are all famous talents from Shu or Southwest."
But after saying this, Kun Ling hesitated.
Seeing this, Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "Let's wait and see. Besides, is there anyone in the world who can compare to that person?"
After that, he walked outside.
There is no snow today, but there is a lot of snow in the yard. Xia Tingyu even built a snowman, which is quite nice.
After looking at the snowman she had built, Xia Tingyu was very satisfied and walked towards the lobby.
In the lobby, Shen Yue stood there with three other men.
Judging from the ages of the three men, the oldest was already in his thirties, and the youngest looked to be only in his twenties.
But without exception, all three of them are extremely handsome.
The three of them looked very uneasy and stood respectfully.
When Xia Tingyu came to the lobby, several people saluted.
just
When they saw Xia Tingyu, the three men had expressions of astonishment. Especially when they noticed the smiling and charming look in Her Highness's eyes, they were even more astonished.
Moreover, looking at Xia Tingyu's wet hair, which added a bit of charm, the expressions of the three of them were dull.
Thanks to Shen Yue's salute to Xia Tingyu, which also woke up the three of them, they all saluted one after another.
Xia Tingyu sat on the couch right in front of the lobby, looked sideways at the three people, and got straight to the point: "It's been hard on you during these days of traveling. Originally, you were going to set off to the capital with us, but we are in a hurry to come to the capital anyway. I have something to do, so I took the first step. And what are you doing in the capital? That is, my father asked me to take you to the Shangyuan Poetry Club. He said that he wanted to prevent the current queen from winning the Triple Crown, so that Shuyalou When the list was compiled over there, he was on the poetry list and stopped him from taking the first place."
Having said this, Xia Tingyu looked at Shen Yue: "Uncle, everyone else should be ready too."
Hearing this, Shen Yue nodded and said, "Whether it's directed at the Queen or not, the Shangyuan Poetry Club is more important to scholars than the Early Winter Poetry Club or the Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner. It's a good opportunity to become famous, especially at Shuya Tower. It was after the Shangyuan Poetry Club was publicly announced that we were doing the evaluation of the top poems and the comments about the scholars. Therefore, more people will participate, and it will be much more difficult to win the first place."
Among the three people, one of them had an unusually handsome face and looked somewhat like a boy or a girl. After hearing Xia Tingyu's words, he immediately bowed his hands and said, "We will live up to the trust of the prince and your highness."
Pfft~~
Xia Tingyu laughed out loud and looked at the man with a meaningful look.
Several people were a little surprised when they saw it.
However, Xia Tingyu didn't say anything more and just looked at these three people.
Lin Ruoyun, who is in his thirties, is the sixth person on the poetry list, and the poet king Xu Zuiyin is ranked fourth. You can imagine his weight.
The boy and girl's name is Tan Songyan. He is not on the list, but he is famous as a great talent in Shu. In the past years in the southeast, he participated in several poetry competitions and won the first place. It is difficult to find a word, so he It can be used on Tan Songyan, and because of his good looks and family background, many women fell in love with him.
The last one was named Zhai Zhiqiu. He had no reputation for talent, but Xia Tingyu knew about it. Even his teacher and Yao Xisheng praised him.
Her Royal Highness the Princess just looked at the three people.
The three of them were all a little uneasy, especially Her Highness the Princess's foxy eyes, which seemed to be able to see through them, making the three of them very uncomfortable.
Shen Yue looked at Xia Tingyu from the side, and then looked at the three people. This time, she did not help, but just watched from the side.
The three of them were all carefully selected by the prince, firstly to assist His Highness the Princess, and secondly.
He is also a candidate for the Prince Consort.
When Shen Yue entered the capital, it seemed that she was accompanying Her Highness the Princess to do some things that Her Highness the Princess would not be able to do in public.
But in fact, the purpose is to see how these three people are doing.
Whoever wins the title of leader in the Shangyuan Poetry Society can be the prince-in-law. This is just a pretense, but it depends on how well he does it and how he does it.
Shen Yue will see these with his own eyes and then deliver them to the prince.
Another thing that needs to be reported is the attitude of Her Majesty the Princess towards these three people.
Xia Tingyu naturally knew that these three people were sent by his father to look after him. It was true that he would use these three people to prevent Su Changan from winning the title of poetry leader and thus become more famous. However, it was actually a decision made a few months ago. If it were now, I would definitely not have this idea. After all, Su Changan's fame has become a climate and cannot be stopped.
But now that he is here, he naturally has to do something to stop Su Changan from winning the Triple Crown.
just
Looking at these three people, Xia Tingyu smiled slightly, her fox eyes thoughtful: "Turn sideways and let me take a look. It's best to make a running posture."
When the three of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Tingyu with puzzled faces.
Then he looked towards Shen Yue.
Shen Yue also didn't realize what the princess meant.
However, he was not involved, so he ignored the three people and just stood aside, calmly.
Kun Ling, on the other hand, had a cold expression on his face, without the cute look he usually showed when he was just following Xia Tingyu, and said coldly: "Just do what the princess asks you to do, it's just an ordinary action."
Xia Tingyu looked at these three people with a smile.
The three frowned again.
But the three of them actually knew that they might be able to become the consort, and if they could be chosen by the princess, let’s not talk about their identities, just their looks that would make the country beautiful and prosperous, that would be enough!
so.
Zhai Zhiqiu, the person with the least reputation, turned around and acted like he was running as Xia Tingyu said.
Lin Ruoyun and Tan Songyan on the side were also a little puzzled, but they also followed the instructions. However, they only turned around and did not make a running posture, but only showed a slight expression.
Xia Tingyu looked at the profiles of these three people.
The three of them are handsome people, but their sense of handsomeness is different.
But looking at the profiles of the three of them, Xia Tingyu smiled softly: "It's really not as good as that."
After saying this, Xia Tingyu stood up and bowed to the three of them: "Tingyu was fooling around for a while. I hope the three gentlemen won't be angry. I will hold a banquet for you three to wash away the dust."
When the three of them saw it, they all returned the favor in panic, feeling much more comfortable in their hearts.
