"Sister!!" Duan Yunxiu was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
The empress seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on her face, and said: "Ever since you were a child, you have been able to hide everything from your sister. My sister will go back and make arrangements first. When the time is right, you and Qin Xue will be married. You don't have to worry about Qin Xue. status. You should bring him to see your sister as soon as possible. Even the prime minister recognizes him and should give him the opportunity to serve the country."
Duan Yunxiu was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He didn't dare to respond. He just thought in his heart.
After you go back, you must take what Zhuge Hui said and take revenge on the bad sister!
With this idea in mind, Duan Yunxiu decided not to reveal all the contents of his conversations with Zhuge Hui to the bad sister for the time being.
The banquet went on as usual, and Zhuge Hui took the time to comment on Qin Baili.
"The name is Baili, but the talent is more than Baili. With time, he can manage thousands of miles."
Qin Baili was flattered and left the table to thank everyone under the envious gaze of everyone.
"As expected, birds of a feather flock together, and Qin Baili is the first to pay tribute to Liang Xiao. Heroes cherish heroes!" Everyone exclaimed.
Zhuge Hui then criticized Lin Xiu, Qin Xun and others one after another, mostly in positive terms, and everyone was very happy.
Liang Xiao was present at the scene, and his respect for Zhuge Hui increased in his heart.
The old prime minister himself was indifferent to fame and fortune, but now he had to rely on this method to give these young people a chance to shine and discover talents for the empress.
The imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty have just started. Most of the official positions in the imperial court are monopolized by many domestic aristocratic families, and the status quo cannot be changed in a short time.
It is difficult for a scholar from a poor family to hold an official position, let alone the working people who can only face the loess and back to the sky, and are not even from a poor family.
Without Zhugehui's criticism, a scholar like Qin Baili who came from a poor family might have only been a sour scholar for the rest of his life.
At this moment, Liang Xiao's heart was surging.
He once thought that if the world changes, he can rise up, compete in the Central Plains, and unify the world.
The old man asked him to serve the great Zhou Dynasty. The empress had rehabilitated his father. Eunuch Lin was his confidant. This dedicated old prime minister gave him a full sense of intimacy.
It's time for him to put away his ambitions.
After Zhuge Hui left, the banquet came to an end, and people started to say goodbye.
Out of respect for Zhuge Hui, Liang Xiao decided to wait until the banquet was over and continue chatting with Mu Lingxiao.
Zhuge Yun pulled Mu Qinxue over, followed by Zhuge Cheng.
"Mr. Liang, I'm going back to Jiangnan in a while. Before I go back, I hope to make an appointment with my brother and sister Qinxue to visit you..."
The scene was filled with exclamations from the talented and beautiful people.
Liang Xiao, this beast, must be attracted by Miss Yun!
This is what everyone is thinking at this time.
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "We are waiting for you at any time!"
Mu Qinxue was so happy that she almost took off on the spot.
She was still thinking about how to visit Liang Xiao openly.
If you rely on Mu Lingxiao to make the connection, your parents will definitely see it.
"This is great, I'm just accompanying Xiaoyun to visit him! Hahaha!"
Mu Qinxue laughed wildly in her heart and her face was full of spring breeze.
The party was finally over.
Liang Xiao returned to his carriage and found Duan Yunxiu waiting in the carriage for a long time.
"Eunuch Lin, this is for you!"
Hearing Liang Xiao's excited call and looking at the agarwood box where the poem was stored in his hand, Duan Yunxiu felt filled with joy this time, and any resentment naturally disappeared.
"Get in the car! Let's talk about it when we get back."
Xing Feng also returned to his annex in Honglu Temple.
The entourage sighed: "The young Marquis has a unique vision, and this Liang Xiao can actually get the high praise of Prime Minister Zhuge!"
Xing Feng nodded silently, his eyes deep.
Even the subjects of Da Chu deeply admired Zhuge Hui, the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if they only talked in private, they would respectfully call him "Prime Minister Zhuge".
In fact, he participated in Zhuge Hui's criticism banquet three years ago and was praised by Zhuge Hui, so he also became famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He could see that Zhuge Hui had tried his best to restrain himself from praising Liang Xiao too much because he was worried that Liang Xiaoshu would become a big target and become the target of public criticism.
The attendant reminded again: "Little Marquis, this person may become a powerful enemy of Da Chu in the future. Should we add fuel to the flames and let those Da Zhou aristocratic families deal with him?"
Xing Feng shook his head and said: "The great Chu is beyond reach, and Liang Xiao's situation is unknown, why should we draw fire and burn ourselves? Xing Hai, please don't mention the persecution of Liang Xiao again in the future. Heroes do heroic things and should not bring shame on themselves. Make friends with this person, The pros outweigh the cons.”
Xing Hai, the follower, said unwillingly: "The young Marquis cannot go back empty-handed. Mu Qinxue and Zhuge Yun are both talented and beautiful women. The Marquis should have made plans early and strive for marriage!"
Xing Feng frowned and said: "I can see that these women admire Liang Xiao, and they may get married to Liang Xiao in the future. I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage. I don't want to imitate Duanmu Yuncheng. I Da Chu has its own women, and the two countries have the same culture, so are they inferior to the women of Da Zhou?"
The two attendants were speechless.
They seemed to understand why Zhuge Hui praised Xing Feng as "heroic and a hero of the world".
They could also see that Xing Feng felt like a hero and cherished heroes toward Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao's home.
Duan Yunxiu stroked the agarwood box on the table, his nose sore.
Did Prime Minister Zhuge say that he valued love and justice?
"Don't you like it, Eunuch Lin?" Liang Xiao asked doubtfully.
Duan Yunxiu said quickly: "Of course I like it! However, this time I hope to give this poem to His Majesty so that His Majesty can understand your ambition..."
"Just show it to Your Majesty, can you not give it away?" Liang Xiao sighed.
"This is a good opportunity for you to show off, why don't you give it away?" Duan Yunxiu asked curiously.
Liang Xiao replied: "I just want to send it to you. It was the first time we met. In fact, I admire your concern for the country and the people. This poem should be sent to you."
Duan Yunxiu was in a state of confusion, nodded and said: "Then let's show it to Your Majesty first..."
Liang Xiao then smiled and nodded.
Duan Yunxiu curled his lips, not daring to tell his true thoughts.
She originally wanted to "get revenge" on her bad sister, so maybe it would have a better effect if she paired it with this poem for her sister.
Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao could give up the opportunity to please the emperor for himself!
Duan Yunxiu was afraid that he would be moved to tears by this guy later, so he stood up quickly and said: "I have to go back and report to His Majesty. I believe Your Majesty will summon you soon. You must be prepared and try to leave the best possible memory for Your Majesty." A wonderful impression.”
"Definitely." Liang Xiao solemnly agreed.
In the imperial study room, Empress Duan Yunyi showed the edict she had drafted to her returning sister.
"Now, look, this is for you and Qin Xue."
"Sister!!" Duan Yunxiu looked at the contents of the edict, feeling ashamed and annoyed.
His bad sister actually planned to let her and Mu Qinxue be the same as the legitimate couple, make Mu Qinxue a princess, and marry Liang Xiao together in the future?
"Why not?" Duan Yunyi smiled half-heartedly, looking at his embarrassed sister.
Growing up, she would only feel happy when teasing her sister.
Duan Yunxiu couldn't bear it anymore and decided to fight back.
"Sister, there is no need to rush to grant us marriage. In fact, the prime minister and grandpa talked to me..."
