Lu Ling was composing a poem when he accidentally heard this little poem and nodded involuntarily.
Yes, Zhu Siyu has some ink.
But Wen Shen Yufeng said: "Yes, especially the phrase 'the ordinary breeze carries a wisp' is the most exquisite. Come and reward me."
After saying this, a maid carried a gold-painted jade gourd ornament on a plate and handed it to Zhu Siyu.
The maid next to Zhu Siyu took it with a look of fear and put it away carefully.
Zhu Siyu was already happy in her heart, but she did not lose her etiquette on her face. She only stood up and gave the Wanfu salute to Shen Yufeng.
Next, the maid read poems written by three other women. Lu Ling listened to it and felt that it was a bit unpleasant...
But Shen Yufeng still rewarded them with small items, but they were not as valuable as the items in Zhu Siyu's hands.
The maid came to Lu Ling's side and said with a smile: "Miss, what's your masterpiece?"
Lu Ling handed over the paper in his hand, and the maid read it out in front of everyone:
The cool breeze brings people to cross the clear spring, sending them to the world when spring is still young.
The cool living water embraces the moon for the first time, and the jade-zhan pines are misted by the wind and mist.
Qingfeng means tea, and Chunweilao means the season of tea.
The three women didn't understand, and they all looked at Lu Ling with confused looks.
Zhu Siyu's face changed slightly after hearing this.
Lu Ling unconsciously pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what Shen Yufeng would say about her poem.
Shen Yufeng was silent for a long time and then said: "Good poem. Reward."
Lu Ling: "?"
Just this sentence?
She felt a little uncomfortable.
But when Shen Yufeng suddenly stood up, turned around and walked out of the lake pavilion.
The four women quickly stood up and saluted.
Then a maid carried a small, modest box and handed it to Lu Ling.
Lu Ling reached out and took it in his hand.
I don't know what's in the box.
The other people cast curious glances.
Lu Ling was hesitating whether to open it and take a look, when suddenly another maid filed in, carrying five glasses of something that looked like wine, and said to them: "Ladies, this is the grape wine sent as tribute from the Western Regions. Your Majesty, please taste it."
Several women looked shocked - it was a tribute!
This is something that ordinary people have never heard of, let alone taste it orally.
They all carefully took the wine glasses and began to taste them with great reluctance.
Lu Ling was just about to take the wine glass handed over by the maid. Unexpectedly, the maid accidentally knocked over the wine glass and spilled the light-colored liquid on Lu Ling's sleeves.
Lu Lingteng stood up immediately, and the maid hurriedly apologized: "Miss, please forgive me, I will take you to change clothes right now."
Lu Ling didn't dare to get angry, but secretly murmured that he was unlucky today, got up, took the box and followed the maid.
The other women looked at Lu Ling's leaving figure with gloating expressions.
Lu Ling followed the maid around and finally came to a room.
Lu Ling went into the house and changed her clothes. When she came out, she suddenly thought of the box, and she quickly asked Haitang to bring it over.
Carefully open the lid.
Lu Ling was stunned when he saw the objects in the box——
Inside was a jade comb with a lotus pattern and mother-of-pearl inlay.
Lu Ling was startled and quickly covered the box.
Seeing Lu Ling's expression change slightly, Haitang quickly asked, "Miss, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Ling shook her head and turned to look for the maid who had just brought her over.
But now the master and servant are standing here, not to mention the third person.
Lu Ling held the box in his hand as if he were holding a hot potato.
A comb is given by a man to a woman, which means... "growing old together"...
Lu Ling felt his mind buzzing.
Today, King Zhao brought her to the candidates of the four princesses. She still couldn't figure out what it meant. Now they even gave her a comb. Isn't the meaning obvious enough?
Lu Ling only thought that King Zhao was crazy!
Now she must return this hot thing quickly, otherwise, there will be some confusion between her and King Zhao.
"Miss, what happened?" Haitang saw something was wrong with Lu Ling's face.
Lu Ling raised his eyes and asked anxiously: "Begonia, have you seen where the maid went just now?"
Haitang shook his head blankly: "It disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Lu Ling had no choice but to say: "Quickly, let's go find another maid and return this box to His Highness King Zhao."
Haitang asked in confusion: "Why? Isn't this what King Zhao rewarded you, Miss?"
Lu Ling didn't have the intention to explain too much to her, so he hurriedly walked down a path with the box in his hand.
After walking only a few steps, I suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Are you looking for me?"
Lu Ling's heart skipped a beat and he turned his head nervously. Then he saw Shen Yufeng, dressed in white plain clothes, standing under the eaves of the house just now, with a calm face.
Lu Ling suppressed his chaotic thoughts, walked over to Shen Yufeng, bowed solemnly, then handed the box to Shen Yufeng with both hands, and whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, but this reward is too expensive, and I don't dare to do so." receive."
Shen Yufeng lowered his eyes and glanced at the box in Lu Ling's hand. Then his eyes slowly moved up and fell on the blue velvet peony in the hairpin on her head.
Haitang was so frightened that she stood aside without daring to speak, her head tightly lowered.
Lu Ling held up the box and didn't hear Shen Yufeng's voice for a long time, so he couldn't help but raise his head and look at him.
Suddenly meeting his dark eyes with a faint ripple of light, Lu Ling became even more nervous. He quickly lowered his head again and took a step back.
Shen Yufeng smiled slightly and asked, "This reward is just an ordinary thing, not expensive."
Lu Ling raised his head and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am a married woman."
When Shen Yufeng heard this, his brows twitched uncontrollably, but he quickly returned to normal.
He nodded and said: "I know."
Lu Ling looked confused.
Knowing that you also gave me a comb, why am I worried?
"It means that you and your husband can grow old together." When Shen Yufeng said this, he looked closely at Lu Ling's face, trying to capture any expression on her face.
Lu Ling: Oh, I misunderstood what they meant... She breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Song Wenzhou's shameless behavior quickly flashed through Lu Ling's mind.
She frowned almost imperceptibly. This small movement was caught by Shen Yufeng, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He had already asked Xiaoqian to check that she had a bad relationship with her husband.
This time I gave you a comb just to verify it.
Lu Ling pursed his lips, his face looked a little ugly, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I really can't have this thing."
"Why can't you have it?"
Shen Yufeng pretended to be confused.
Lu Ling pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty knows it in his heart."
King Zhao: "..."
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "In that case, I will give you something again."
Lu Ling wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Shen Yufeng lowered his head, he untied an jade safety buckle tied around his waist, handed it to Lu Ling, and said, "Let's exchange it for this."
Lu Ling: "?"
Isn’t it wrong that this is different?
Lu Ling couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Majesty, please stop joking."
"Why is this king just joking?" Shen Yufeng tilted his head slightly and couldn't help but smile.
"My lord, this is your personal belongings. Moreover, the meaning of this safety button is the same as that of the comb——"
"It just means peace, why not?"
Shen Yufeng said quickly.
