Luo Qingshuang disagreed with Qin Guifei's bed, so Zhao An could only return to Yangxin Hall in despair.
The empress said displeased: "So the Queen Mother knows that you have been replacing me?"
Zhao An shrugged. Who knows what the Queen Mother thought, but she could only take one step at a time.
The next day, many famous talents and beauties in the capital were crowded near Tianshuiyuan, and everyone wanted to have a glimpse of Master Cui.
It's a pity that they have low status and no background, so they can't get in.
Fortunately, Mr. Cui understood their thoughts and arranged a banquet in the yard early, which was enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
Afterwards, dignitaries and famous figures from the dynasty arrived one after another. Great Confucians from the Imperial College also appeared, and even a few bachelors.
The Cui family is worthy of being a holy sect. Even if they have been away from the court for many years, their influence cannot be easily matched by those aristocratic families. Looking at the world, the only one who can compete with the holy sect is the Chen family.
In Ningkun Palace, Chen Yuru disguised herself as a man and wanted to join in the fun. Zhao An and Chang Ming couldn't resist her, so they had to give up.
Chang Ming did not accompany him because he might meet Chen Guogong. Even if he was proficient in disguise skills, he could not be sure. Therefore, Zhao An was carefully manipulated by him and turned into a burly man with a beard on his face, except for his poor physique. They're so similar, they look so intimidating.
Que'er also accompanied him in men's clothing and drove around, saying only that the Queen Mother was interested.
Zhao An was very curious as to why Chen Yuru had to go.
Chen Yuru said: "It is a big deal for the Holy Sect to enter the capital. I also want to see what my father's plan is."
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that if I stay with you, you will cause rumors? After all, there is no one as hairy as me in the palace."
"It doesn't matter, just treat him as a confidant that I have secretly cultivated."
While talking, I arrived at Tianshui Courtyard and saw that it was not an ordinary bustle. Moreover, the Cui family was very rich and allowed so many scholars to attend in vain.
Zhao An followed Chen Yuru with a long box in his arms. Chen Yuru, who was disguised as a man, was a handsome young man. She was disguised as a man who was not weaker than the empress. The women present looked at her with admiration.
Chen Yuru didn't take it seriously and walked straight into the hall with her head held high.
At this moment, the house was full of distinguished guests, including officials and noble families. Chen Yuru was not polite at all. She went directly to the top seat on the left hand side and sat on the floor. Zhao An and Que'er sat beside her.
Everyone's eyes glanced at him, either angry or disdainful.
There were all high-ranking people present, but it was unreasonable for a young boy with unknown origin to occupy Xu Ruqing's seat.
Chen Yuru said indifferently: "Who said this is Miss Xu's seat? Has her name been written on it?"
"Shuzi is rampant!"
"Hmph, I don't care about the occasion when I act wild."
These officials were very stubborn and did not recognize Chen Yuru. Otherwise, I don’t know what they would have thought.
Zhao An touched his nose and placed the knife he borrowed from Chang Ming heavily on the table. He raised his big, bushy head and glared. Suddenly the noise subsided and everyone lowered their heads and turned to whispers. talk.
The pretty boy is easy to mess with, but the bearded man seems to be a charlatan, the kind who will kill people at every turn.
"Well done."
Chen Yuru praised her in a low voice, and Zhao An smiled and poured her a cup of tea.
"I want to drink beer."
"Are you stupid? How can you drink when you are pregnant?"
Chen Yuru paused after hearing this, touched her belly and lowered her head.
Then people appeared one after another, and amid cheers, Xu Ruqing, the most talented woman in Kyushu, appeared with the ruthless female swordsman Jiuyin.
"Ms. Xu is well!"
"Miss Xu becomes even more beautiful after not seeing her all night."
The men were blowing rainbow farts, and the talented women behind the veil looked sideways. They were not as talented as Xu Ruqing, and they were somewhat unconvinced. Moreover, Xu Ruqing wore a veil every time she appeared on the stage, which made them even more angry.
"Go away."
Suddenly, Jiuyin came to Zhao An and Chen Yuru, holding a long sword in his arms, and his face covered by a round hat and gauze showed cold murderous intent.
Zhao Anke couldn't beat her, so he poked Que'er secretly. Que'er tightened his grip on his sword, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be so presumptuous."
Jiuyin looked up and down and narrowed his eyes, "You are interesting, but this seat belongs to my young lady."
"You said it was yours, do you have proof?"
Zhao An took advantage of having Que'er by his side, and he felt a bit like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Jiuyin let go of his arms and raised his sword, "You want to fight with me? That's fine. I'll see the real seal in my hand. Whoever wins will get this position."
"Okay Xiaoyin, it doesn't matter if we sit here."
After all, Xu Ruqing is not a reckless person. He is here just for academic purposes. How can he compete with others?
She personally took the murderous Jiuyin and sat down, causing everyone to talk about it.
Everyone is accusing Chen Yuru of being unreasonable.
Chen Yuru lowered her eyes as if she didn't hear him.
Xu Ruqing's face covered by gauze always had a faint smile on her face. She was joking with everyone and spoke well, showing her talent.
Even the bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion came forward to ask her for advice on some classics and history books. She answered all questions and her explanations were perfect.
"She is indeed the most talented woman who is famous in the world. I'm afraid Miss Yan from Bashu may not be so talented."
Everyone admired and praised Xu Ruqing very highly. Xu Ruqing smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Yan is too busy and has no time to come to the Central Plains. Otherwise, with her talent, I would not dare to do anything for her."
"Miss Xu is too modest. At least the young people here will be reduced to foils."
The officials at Yushitai flattered him as much as they could, and by the way, they brought along all the younger generations present.
The men were okay, at most they felt a little blushing, but the talented women behind the veil all felt angry. If it weren't for their inappropriate appearance, the grumpy ones would have come out to greet the official and his family.
Chen Yuru frowned and said, "Officials at Yushitai are not very good at political commentary, but they are quite good at flattering others."
"Zhuzi, you have the right to speak!"
The people at the Yushitai stared as if they wanted to eat people. Chen Yuru chuckled and said: "If you have time to flatter me, you might as well read more books to avoid making people laugh."
Among the six ministries of the Central Government and various institutions, the most despised person is the Yushi Yanguan.
The job of the imperial censor is to give advice. If he gives advice again and again, he only makes suggestions and does not consider the solution. In the final analysis, he is just a bunch of fools.
Not only Chen Yuru hates them, but the Empress also hates these people.
boom!
A censor surnamed Zhou stood up and said, "Young man with yellow hair, do you dare me to argue with you?"
Chen Yuru did not answer, but looked at Zhao An.
At first, she just disliked the censorship officials for being too noisy. She was really no match against her, but Zhao An was eloquent and she believed he could suppress the arrogance of these people for her.
How could Zhao An not understand? He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are not qualified to let my young master take action. If you want to argue, I will accompany you."
"How dare you do this to a reckless man!"
"Are you scared?"
"Are you afraid you can't even write your own name?"
Master Zhou deliberately used a strange tone to tease, which immediately made the whole audience burst into laughter.
Zhao An's old face darkened, damn it!
Now I'm going to talk to all the scholars and defeat these idiots to death!
