Yan Shuqin's poems were quickly delivered, and everyone watched and commented with admiration.
Lutang also took a look, but they were just two decent poems. Thanks to him, I could still compose poems while messing around with Wenhong Yao.
Wen Hongyao didn't come back after she left. The palace maid came over and told her, "Miss Wen has something to do at home, so she has to go back first."
Xiao Yuanzhen glanced at Lu Tang and said disdainfully: "You, my cousin, still have this temper until today. I come and leave here at will without any etiquette."
This is the palace. No matter how impatient Wen Hongyao is, he should not be so eager to provoke Yan Shuqin in front of Xiao Yuanzhen in the palace. It seems that the Guizhou donkey is really at his wits end and has nothing to fear.
Seeing the incredible expression on Xiao Yuanzhen's face, Lutang had no choice but to whisper in her ear: "When I was in the palace, I knew a little bit about the affairs of eldest sister and eldest son Yan. As the eldest princess said, they expressed The two brothers and sisters are in love. That's why I told the eldest princess that Yan Shuqin is not a good match for the princess. Since the princess intends to reject the Yan family's marriage contract, it might be better to grant them permission, which may be beneficial to all parties."
Xiao Yuanzhen watched the girls commenting on the poem draft, and he had an idea in his mind. He sneered and said: "To fulfill the friendship between their cousins, we need to make some noise. In a moment, let Aunt Shang Gong take you to Wenyuan Pavilion first. Look, after enough time has passed, I will take them together to be a witness!"
"yes."
Wenyuan Pavilion is the palace library. It is located in the corner of the inner palace and is a remote place with few people in the palace. Aunt Shang Gong led her to the entrance of the courtyard when she saw a shoulder chariot umbrella cover in the distance.
"This is the honor guard of Concubine Chen. Master Jinting, please take shelter." Aunt Shang Gong took Lutang to the side of the road.
Concubine Chen was a tribute girl from Beiyan. She entered the palace with the envoy seven years ago. Within a year, she gave birth to a little prince and was named a concubine second only to the queen. Although the queen raised a prince who was in the harem, he could not compare with the favor of Concubine Chen.
The imperial concubine passed by the honor guard, and Lu Tang and Shang Gong knelt down and saluted by the roadside. Perhaps Lu Tang's Taoist robe was too conspicuous, so Chen Guifei stopped the sedan chair.
"Is Kun Dao Yuan Zhen's substitute for the second lady of the Wen family?"
Concubine Chen is only in her twenties, with a cool and handsome face, charming eyes and brows, and an extremely soft voice.
"My daughter Wen Lutang is the stand-in for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Kun Dao. I would like to pay my respects to the imperial concubine." Lutang knelt down and saluted, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Are you the unlucky daughter of the Wen family mentioned in Chongxian Temple, the girl who broke off her marriage to the King of Jin?" Concubine Chen's eyes showed a smile.
Lutang could already feel her full malice when she asked such a question during a meeting.
"Yes. My daughter's blessings and misfortunes are unknown, and I am not worthy of being a match for His Highness. I am fortunate enough to be appreciated by the eldest princess and become a monk for the princess to practice." Lutang hurried to see Wenyuan Pavilion, not wanting to tangle with her any more.
"Is the girl who came to the palace to meet the family members last time your sister?" Concubine Chen seemed to be unwilling to let her go, and still sat in the chariot and asked quietly.
Lutang had no choice but to reply: "It's my cousin Wen Hongyao."
"That sister of yours is really classy. I heard that Yuan Zhen invited some girls to her palace today to enjoy the osmanthus flowers. Is she here?"
"She has been here and stayed with the eldest princess for a while, but she has something to do in the palace and has gone back first."
Concubine Chen seemed to be very interested in Wenhong Medicine. His eyes had been wandering when he was talking just now. When he was talking about Wenhong Yao, his eyes glanced at Lutang sharply.
In the previous life, Concubine Chen's mother and son were accomplices of the King of Jin, and they were the palace insiders who enabled Xiao Yuanhui to usurp the throne. As for her relationship with Wen Hongyao, Lutang didn't know.
"Why did you come here if you didn't go to accompany Yuan Zhen?" Concubine Chen asked casually.
"The eldest princess and the other ladies are writing poems, and she is ordering her to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to get some books on poetry and rhyme." Lutang started telling lies.
"What a coincidence, I am also going to Wenyuan Pavilion, let's go together." Concubine Chen waved her hand, raised her shoulder chariot and walked forward.
She also wants to go to Wenyuan Pavilion? This is too much of a coincidence!
At this moment, Wen Hongyao and Yan Shuqin were probably reminiscing about their old relationship inside. What if these two wild mandarin ducks were so bold as to act recklessly and let the imperial concubine see them!
Lutang hurriedly looked back at Shang Gong who was leading the way, but then he thought about it, there was nothing wrong with this. If Concubine Chen saw it and made the matter even bigger, wouldn't it be more helpful for the cousins?
Wenyuan Pavilion is a library, but it is guarded by a few eunuchs, making it extremely quiet and deserted.
On weekdays, if a noble person comes up to the building, he or she will be greeted in advance to clean up and arrange things, so most of the people waiting here are lazy.
No one could have imagined that Concubine Chen would come over today without greeting her in advance. The little eunuchs all hurried over to salute and kowtow:
"If the imperial concubine wants any books, the servants can find them and send them over. I'm afraid the dust in the pavilion will damage the imperial concubine's body."
Concubine Chen ignored them, got off her chariot and walked towards the courtyard, with a cold smile on her face: "You guys are so hard at cleaning the palace's important library, how dare you say it's dusty? The palace can hide dirt. A dirty place?"
Her words were obviously a pun, and the little eunuchs all knelt without daring to get up. Lutang couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.
When she said this, did she also know that someone was having an affair here to reminisce about the past? Wen Hongyao and Yan Shuqin were hooking up. How did Concubine Chen know about it in the palace?
"Open the door. I'm going upstairs to get some books." Concubine Chen slowly walked down the corridor of the pavilion. When she turned around and looked back, the golden steps on her bun moved slightly.
"The royal concubine..."
Several young eunuchs hunched over and trotted over. Instead of opening the door, they blocked the door and knelt down in front of Concubine Chen.
They know there's someone inside! Seeing that the time was almost up, Lutang winked at Aunt Shang Gong behind her. Seeing that others were not paying attention, Shang Gong turned to report to Xiao Yuanzhen.
Someone is indeed reminiscing in Wenyuan Pavilion at this moment, but it is not Yan Shuqin, but Jin Wang Xiao Yuanhui!
Wen Hongyao forced her way into the palace today just so that Yan Shuqin could arrange for her to meet Xiao Yuanhui. With the Wen family defeated, she must try her best to win over Xiao Yuanhui and never lose the protection of the Jin Palace again.
Xiao Yuanhui was proud of his literary talent. Every time he entered the palace, he would come to Wenyuan Pavilion to read several volumes of ancient books. Yan Shuqin noticed his habits and specially arranged for Wen Hongyao to come over at this time.
"Your Highness!" Wen Hong Yao bought the eunuch outside with a lot of money. Lihua Daiyu knelt in front of Xiao Yuanhui with tears on her face: "My father was framed. I beg Your Highness to remember my sister's kindness and not to break off the engagement!"
The situation in the court was not going well these days. King Xiao Yuanmu of Qi was trying to take the lead at every step, but he was holding back every step of the way. Xiao Yuanhui sat in front of the desk, and when he saw her kneeling in front of him and crying, he felt extremely fed up in his heart.
What's more, he had known that Wen Hongyao had had an affair with someone and had originally been engaged to her in order to win over Wen Hou's influence. Now that her father had been completely defeated, Xiao Yuanhui would have wanted to get rid of her long ago if he had not just brought her to meet the palace family members a few days ago.
"Hong Yao, what kind of relationship do you have with me?" Xiao Yuanhui sneered, "Do you think I don't even know what you have done?"
Wen Hongyao had never seen him like this before, and she couldn't help but sweat dripping from her back. She knelt down and climbed a few steps, holding the corners of his robe and saying, "Since I have been engaged to His Highness, I always put Your Highness first! I wholeheartedly admire Your Highness. I love you so much." Everything I do is to please His Highness!"
Xiao Yuanhui pinched her chin, showing his white teeth and sneered: "How do you want to please me, can you please do it?"
Seeing his sinister appearance, Wen Hongyao was already frightened, but for the sake of the safety of the Wen family, she still knelt down and begged and cried: "My maid has made a marriage agreement with His Highness, and she is already His Highness's. As long as His Highness If you don’t break off the engagement, I will do anything you want!”
Before she could finish her words, she was pushed to the ground by Xiao Yuanhui, who said coldly: "If I don't want to break off the engagement, it depends on your ability. Back then, your sister Zi Yu served extremely well, so I was willing to promote her." . Now as long as you serve well, the king will be able to praise you."
When Wen Hongyao heard him mention Zi Dao, she was afraid that he would find out about her treatment of Zi Dao's humiliation and miscarriage, so her face turned pale and she knelt on the ground without daring to move.
After speaking, Xiao Yuanhui put down the book in his hand and started to leave without saying a word. Wen Hongyao collapsed completely at this time, stepped forward on her knees and hugged Xiao Yuanhui's legs, crying: "Your Highness, don't leave! Whatever Your Highness wants, I am willing to do it!"
Xiao Yuanhui heard her say "I'm willing to do both," and then he slowly sat back in front of the desk and looked at it at leisure, with a disdainful smile on his lips.
Wen Hongyao burst into tears. She no longer cared about the shame, so she slowly undressed and took off her belt, taking off her skirt and pants, wearing only a red bra.
Seeing Xiao Yuanhui still sitting silently, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't even lift his head. After a stalemate for a long time, Wen Hong couldn't do anything, so he had to take off all his bellyband, knee pants, shoes and socks, leaving him completely naked.
Her fair and voluptuous body suddenly appeared in spring. Wen Hongyao had never been so humiliated before. She crossed her hands in front of her body, shivering and sobbing.
"My daughter only asks for His Highness's mercy so that I can enter the palace to serve His Highness and preserve the titles of my father and younger brother."
She lowered her head and cried, and had no choice but to crawl forward to Xiao Yuanhui. With trembling hands, she went to untie his belt.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanhui suddenly raised his foot and kicked hard towards her chest. Wen Hong Yao might as well, this kick was right on the ribs.
How could such a delicate girl withstand Xiao Yuanhui's vicious kick? She flew three or four feet away and fell to the ground unable to get up again.
She was completely naked, but Xiao Yuanhui kicked her in front of her. Her heart was filled with despair, and she lowered her head and vomited two mouthfuls of blood.
"Your Highness..."
Xiao Yuanhui's face was full of sinister fervor. He was still angry after being kicked. He took two steps forward and possessed Wen Hongyao in his ear and said bitterly: "You are like a wasted flower, and I will let you know once." Well, you dare to deceive me! Since your Wen family is shameless, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
Wen Hongyao never expected that he would have known about his scandal for a long time. He was even more frightened and curled up into a ball on the ground, not even daring to cry anymore.
At this moment, I heard the chaotic voice of the little eunuch outside Wenyuan Pavilion: "Concubine Chen, stay here, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is inside!"
