After the court ended, Her Majesty the Empress Luo Ningxin and the Empress Lu Caihuang, a couple who seemed to be inseparable but looked at Fang Chen opposite.
They both have different thoughts.
Luo Ningxin didn't expect that Fang Chen had such intelligence, and that he could undo the exquisite lock that had stumped countless ministers in such a rough way.
It seems that I underestimated the ability of this minion before, and it might be a good card in the future.
Lu Caihuang was even more surprised. Fang Chen's performance today really surprised her. She glanced at His Majesty the Emperor beside her without any trace.
With Xiao Chenzi's performance today, he will definitely be more favored in the future, which will be more and more beneficial to his plan.
Both of them were very satisfied.
Luo Ningxin was the first to speak: "Fang Chen, you are doing very well today."
"Your Majesty, thank you. I just did what I should do." Fang Chen still remained humble.
At this moment, Her Majesty the Empress was in a very happy mood and said with a smile: "Tell me what kind of reward you want, money or something else. I will agree to it."
Fang Chen's eyelids twitched, and after thinking about it, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart: "The villain doesn't need any reward."
Luo Ningxin sighed: "If all my ministers are as humble and noble as you, then I will be relieved. Okay, then I will wait until I think about it and reward them together."
Thank you Fang Chen.
Lu Caihuang's eyes flashed, and she leaned towards Her Majesty the Empress and said in a crisp voice: "Your Majesty, I will let you hold a banquet in Kunning Palace tonight, Your Majesty, will you do that?"
Luo Ningxin stiffened and coughed twice in embarrassment. This was not the first time Lu Caihuang invited her to spend the night in Kunning Palace.
But she can't do anything as a woman!
In order to avoid wearing it, she refused every time, and this time was no exception.
"I am very pleased with the Queen's kindness. However, Hu Yanzhuo will still have problems tomorrow. I will go to the imperial study room to convene civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. I don't know when."
Deliberately holding Lu Caihuang's hand, Luo Ningxin showed an affectionate look: "If it's too late, don't wait for me, take a good rest, you know?"
"Well, Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and don't work too hard." Lu Caihuang looked resentful.
The two women looked at each other in a quarrelsome manner, which made Fang Chen get goosebumps all over his body. He quickly turned his head and pretended that he couldn't see them.
Walking out of the Imperial Garden, Her Majesty the Empress felt a little heavy. It had been more than a year since Lu Caihuang was married.
She had not left before her departure, so she should have been suspicious after such a long time. Moreover, the reason why those rebellious ministers doubted her was because she had no heirs.
It seems that we have to find a way. If we delay it any longer, we will definitely be in trouble.
This way.
As soon as Luo Ningxin left, the color of the colorful phoenix in the Royal Garden changed instantly, and she felt secretly resentful in her heart.
Could this damn Luo Pengcheng be a born eunuch! Are you so unattractive to him?
"Xiao Tatsuko!"
Lu Caihuang screamed in displeasure, and Fang Chen quickly turned around and approached: "What do you want me to do?"
"Is this palace beautiful?" Lu Caihuang felt that her self-confidence was about to be destroyed by His Majesty the Emperor.
Fang Chen immediately told the lie: "Of course! Not only in this harem, but in this world, there is no woman more beautiful than the empress. She is simply a fairy descended from heaven."
"Then why, Your Majesty! Forget it, go back to Kunning Palace."
the next day.
Everyone went to court, and what was obviously different from yesterday was that all the civil and military officials were in high spirits, waiting for Hu Yanzhuo to arrive quickly.
There was nothing we could do. Yesterday, they were scolded by Luo Ningxin in the Imperial Study Room, and all of them had a dull look on their faces.
Today we must avenge our past humiliation and regain the lost face.
There was a sound of the Queen's arrival.
Fang Chen followed Lu Caihuang and appeared, which immediately attracted a lot of hateful looks, if it weren't for this dead eunuch.
I and others would not have been scolded so bloody by His Majesty yesterday.
Some loyal ministers were filled with worries and looked at Fang Chen with solemn thoughts.
Although this eunuch saved our Dayan's face yesterday, he is not a good person.
Now he is still the Queen's personal eunuch. If he becomes powerful in the future, Your Majesty will be led astray by him.
Don't you think that even if you want the Queen's help and advice, you and others can't do anything?
No, you must pay attention to this guy in the future.
The things that eunuchs did to the country must never happen to our Great Yan Dynasty!
Feng Gao, the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, glanced at Fang Chen and saw that this opponent was here again.
Our family must behave well today, and we must not let him please His Majesty first.
When everyone arrived, Feng Gao passed the order: "Special envoy Hu Yanzhuo is here to see you."
Hu Yanzhuo and others from outside the main hall came in and saluted.
Everyone discovered that there was a man wearing a green shirt and a mustache behind Hu Yanzhuo today.
Luo Ningxin was full of confidence today. She smiled and said, "Special Envoy Huyan, please tell me what the second question of your country is today."
Hu Yanzhuo smiled: "Your Majesty, my emperor heard that the literary world of the Yan Dynasty was brilliant, with celebrities and scholars, and their beautiful articles were as numerous as the stars in the sky. Therefore, I decided to use literature to make friends."
Hearing this, someone couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was a civil servant.
Hu Yanzhuo looked unhappy: "Why is this gentleman laughing?"
The civil servant was not polite and said proudly: "I thought the special envoy had some tricks up his sleeve in this second question, and wondered if it might be another weird trick like the Nine-Bend Exquisite Lock."
"I didn't expect that since I dared to use an article as a title, I would be rude today."
"Oh? May I ask your name, sir?" Hu Yanzhuo sneered.
The civil servant said proudly: "I, the Imperial Academy, offer wine to Guo Wenruo!"
"Oh, I've never heard of it." Hu Yanzhuo rolled his eyes.
He thought his name would scare the other person, but he didn't expect Hu Yanzhuo to say such a thing, and Guo Wenruo was immediately furious.
The Imperial College was the highest institution of learning in the Yan Dynasty, a holy place that countless students dreamed of.
As an imperial minister, he is just like the principal of the school.
Being looked down upon like this is no different than being slapped in the face. Just as he was about to say something more, Luo Ningxin already said, "Okay, envoy, let's talk about it. Since the title is an article, what is the title?"
"We can't have all the music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs on one side. How long will it take to decide the winner?"
Hu Yanzhuo and others were naturally prepared.
"Your Majesty is right, but since ancient times, couplets have been the best in literary combat. I have brought along a scholar from the Western Jin Dynasty. As long as someone from the Great Yan Dynasty can defeat him, I will give you the second annual tribute with both hands!"
"Hmph, a country of barbarians still dares to write and write. Today, I will let you experience the peak of our literary world in Dayan!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to participate in the literary fight." Guo Wenruo asked for his orders while offering wine.
Luo Ningxin nodded: "That's right."
As a wine minister of the Imperial College, Guo Wenruo naturally has real talent and knowledge. If he takes action, he should be able to do it with certainty.
Her Majesty the Empress turned to look at Guo Wenruo. At this time, the middle-aged man in blue shirt who had been silent next to Hu Yanzhuo turned around.
He showed a weird smile: "Guo Wenruo? Du Yu's student?"
