Chapter 94 The Empress Dowager of Dashang!
"Xie Chuan, if I were you, I would have left in time while the Empress Dowager had not arrived yet. It was still time for her to leave."
Chen Shaojun said indifferently.
Xie Chuan is definitely the target of thousands of people now, but Chen Shaojun has no sympathy for him.
He had known all the things Xie Chuan did one by one, and he had long known clearly. If he didn't care, he would not bully him.
The most undeserved thing he should have was to get more and more aggressive and wanted to drive him out of the deer park.
"Shaojun Chen, I will never let you go!"
Xie Chuan's face turned blue and white, and he could not stay there. He pushed the crowd away and left.
Although he had an invitation to the Queen Mother's Feast, he still had the face to stay here now.
"Not giving!"
Chen Shaojun looked calm and quickly withdrew his gaze. He continued to read the original scriptures in his hand.
This incident was just a small episode for him.
"Who is that person?"
Almost at the same time, no one noticed that in another woods, several people were also paying attention to this scene.
Not everyone is from the Zi Zhang Xue School, and not everyone buys the romance of Xie Chuan and the Minister of Personnel, but Chen Shaojun's performance still attracts their attention.
"It seems to be from the Ziju School, named Chen Shaojun."
"That primary school school actually has such disciples?!"
The leaders raised their eyebrows slightly, as if they were a little surprised.
"What the Wendao lineage values is its own cultivation and knowledge. You should not underestimate the other party because of the school. This person is very powerful. If you have the chance, you may get closer in the future."
Another person says.
The others nodded.
The Confucian school is no longer a day or a night. For some people, origin does not mean much, but everything depends on the inner world.
There are many people with this kind of vision and cultivation.
However, Chen Shaojun didn't know all this.
Since the second sentence of the second chapter amazes everyone, many scholars have visited them specially and want to make friends with Chen Shaojun. It is rare to be lively, but Chen Shaojun politely rejected them one by one.
His mind is only about these precious original scriptures and literary growth, and he still has to be happy and at ease when he wants simplicity.
Time passed slowly, and one white-clothed scholar after another continued to come and entered from the rear. These people had extraordinary temperaments. After bowing and greeting everyone, they looked for a seat to sit down.
The conversation around was much smaller. Chen Shaojun knew that the snow-watching feast was about to begin.
Soon, with a sharp sound suddenly sounded.
"The Queen Mother is here!"
The atmosphere in the deer garden suddenly became solemn, and in this voice, a half-old woman less than five feet tall, wearing a five-color golden hairpin and a green and patterned jacket, graceful and grey and gray-haired slowly walked out with the support of a group of palace maids. She walked very slowly, but every step seemed extremely majestic.
"This is the Queen Mother of the Times!"
Chen Shaojun put down the scriptures and looked up at the top.
This was the first time he had met the empress dowager of the Da Shang Dynasty today. Just looking at her appearance and temperament, it really gave people a feeling of kindness and closeness.
"See the Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother is lucky!"
...
In the plum forest, the scholars knelt down, their heads lying on the ground, and shouted in unison. Chen Shaojun also knelt down and bowed with the crowd.
This is the protagonist today. The immortal world gold and stone that Chen Shaojun wants comes from her hands.
"Anyway, you must find a way to get it."
Chen Shaojun said in his heart.
At this moment, the entire palace backyard was heard, and only the sound of the current empress dowager slowly approaching was left.
"Everyone gets up. Today is a snow-watching ceremony. You guys don't have to be too polite."
The Empress Dowager was wearing a fox fur, as white as snow, and sat down on a throne on the high platform.
"Thank you, the Queen Mother!"
Everyone stood up.
Behind Meilin, a famous palace maid came in one after another. In addition to these palace maids, there was also a girl wearing white clothes standing next to the empress dowager, who seemed to be highly appreciated by the empress dowager.
The figure looked petite and looked younger, which was different from other palace maids. Chen Shaojun didn't care at first sight, but just felt that her figure was a little familiar. Chen Shaojun looked closely and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Wei Zhen?"
The pretty girl right next to the Empress Dowager, who wouldn’t be Wei Zhen?
Almost at the same time, Wei Zhen next to the throne also noticed Chen Shaojun among the scholars, blinked at him, and showed a playful smile.
Chen Shaojun was both surprised and happy. Although he had long heard that Wei Zhen was loved and appreciated by the Queen Mother, Chen Shaojun did not expect that he could see her even at the snow feast.
And compared to the last time we met, Wei Zhen in front of us became more and more beautiful.
Even the scholars in the garden couldn't help but look at each other subconsciously, but soon everyone took their eyes back.
"The Empress Dowager has an order. You are all the best in the capital. You will be the pillars of our great merchants in the future. The future achievements are limitless. Today is the annual snow-appreciation conference. According to the rules, the most talented one is appointed by the Empress Dowager to become the leader of this snow-appreciation conference. It is the youngest generation in the world and the head of all scholars. It is included in the naturalization book of the Holy Temple to officially record this matter."
"In addition, the articles that are the leader of this year will be promoted by the court and spread to the world."
Next to the empress dowager, an eunuch said loudly in a sharp voice.
As soon as the sound fell, a buzzing sound in the plum garden, and the scholars were all moved. Regardless of the others, they were just included in the holy temple and included in the official citizenship book, and the articles were spread throughout the world, which was very attractive to scholars.
There are so many scholars who flock to each academic awards conference and want to squeeze into the deer park. This is why, as long as you make a good article at the snow-appreciation conference, you can truly become famous all over the world. This is exactly what people in the literary world dream of.
"In addition, the first place in this literary exam, I can also receive the royal reward of gold and stones in the fairy world and jade crowns in the brocade clothes. Especially the fairy world gold and stones are extremely precious. Even if there are not many in the royal family, it is used as a reward to show the court's affirmation of you."
"Thank you, the Queen Mother!"
Everyone said loudly.
"You don't have to be cautious. Today I'll just call you to appreciate the snow, and poetry and articles are the only ones."
The Empress Dowager looked kind and turned her head to look at Wei Zhen on the side:
"Zhen'er, it's almost done, let's start the banquet!"
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
Wei Zhen clapped his hands, and soon, the melodious chimes rang. A young and beautiful palace maid carried jade plates, wine, candied fruits, and pastries, and brought them to the scholars and placed them on white jade tables.
"These are all nectars and jade liquids in the palace, with a very high degree of degree, and they are made of plum blossoms. This is also the wish of the Queen Mother. All the scholars might as well try it."
The eunuch in brocade clothes said.
Isn't that plum blossom wine?
Chen Shaojun's heart moved, then picked up the white jade thin-necked wine pot on the table and poured a cup inside. Just after pouring a little, a strong fragrance of plum blossoms spread out and smelled like it penetrated into his heart.
People in Wendao do not advocate drinking, but there is also a saying that sake brewed by peach blossoms, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, etc. are quite popular among people in Wendao.
Since Chen Shaojun's reincarnation, he has only heard of his name and has never tasted it.
Moreover, the royal nectar and jade liquid are completely different from those brewed by the folk. The brewing is more complicated and the materials are more rare. Even in the palace, there are not many. Usually, they will only occasionally reward some important civil and military officials of the court on major festivals.
Chen Shaojun picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. It was immediately dry and dry, like a clear spring flowing in, completely less spicy than Chen Shaojun imagined. Not only that, the wine entered the abdomen, then scattered into the limbs and bones, and merged into the meridians throughout the body. Others may not feel it, but Chen Shaojun clearly found that the blood and qi in his body even accelerated the speed of flowing.
"The palace is indeed a rare treasure. Just a pot of wine can help you practice."
Chen Shaojun was very surprised. The original scriptures and now the nectar and jade liquid all showed the great efforts of the court. Each of them was of great help to him. Just these two things were worth the trip.
Chen Shaojun picked up the wine pot and poured himself a few more cups, drank three in a row, making his body warm, and the blood and energy flow rate increased a lot. For people in martial arts, this also means that they have stronger combat power and explosive power in battle.
With a few cups in your stomach, the atmosphere at the banquet was more lively and not as reserved as before.
"Everyone, today's snow-watching event will be held to enjoy the scenery. Now, there are snow in the capital and plum blossoms in the wind. Ai's family asks you, is it snow beautiful or is the flowers beautiful?"
At this moment, a kind voice came from my ears. In the throne, the queen mother put down the wine cup in her hand, smiled at the corner of her mouth, looked at the scholars in the garden, and suddenly spoke.
In an instant, the whole deer park became quiet and everyone showed a solemn look.
Although the Queen Mother just said it casually, this is the test question.
"This..., this question is a bit difficult!"
A famous scholar immediately frowned and noticed the mystery of the Queen Mother's words.
"In the past, the Empress Dowager gave the questions for the snow-watching feast, either chanting objects, scenery, or lyricism. The test questions were clear, but this time..., if the plum blossoms were good, then the empress dowager might like snow. If the snow was good, then the plum blossoms grew in the palace. I heard that the empress dowager had planted a few plants, which was her beloved thing, which was equivalent to neglecting the empress dowager. This is not easy to do!"
Everyone had a problem in their hearts. Just by setting the question at the beginning, this snow-appreciation conference is different from the past and is much more difficult.
"How is it, who can answer the Ai family?"
The queen mother smiled and her eyes slowly swept across everyone.
However, the entire deer garden was quiet, and the needles could be heard. Everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.
"You don't have to rush to answer. Just give me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, just treat this as the topic of the snow-watching conference."
The queen mother smiled and seemed to have expected this scene in front of her.
On the side, the eunuch in brocade clothes understood and waved his hand. Immediately, a palace maid came in and distributed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the white jade tables and placed them in front of the scholars.
