Nalan Wende was not angry after being rejected. He walked behind Shen Jingmin and reached out to stroke her hair."Really-"
Before he could say the word " fragrance ", Shen Jingmin stepped on him heavily. She looked weak, but she came from the same family as Shen Yanxi. Her martial arts were not bad, and she used a lot of strength. Nalan Wende's face immediately twisted. She even put on a terrified expression."Why is Your Highness standing behind me?”
Nalan Baiqiong could not help but burst out laughing. He did not expect that the first person to make this Nalan Wende suffer was actually Jing Min.
Nalan Wende had always thought of himself as elegant and unrestrained, so how could he make a move on a woman? Knowing that she was doing it on purpose, he could only smile and say,""It's all Little Wang's fault for scaring the female official.”
Now you know how to call me Lady Official? Where was the person who called her a beauty with a smile just now?
Nalan Wende could only find an excuse to leave as his leg was really in pain. He did not go out for the next two days. Nalan Baiqiong could not help but give Shen Jingmin a thumbs up.
In the blink of an eye, it was the 17th of November, Tang Jinchuan's birthday. The imperial examinations were going smoothly, and the fasting had long passed. Therefore, this time, the palace would hold a grand banquet. Not only were the dignitaries invited, but some of the candidates who were already valued by the nobles could also enter the palace to meet the emperor, hoping that they would be able to get first place in the court examinations after the spring examinations.
Nalan Baiqiong and Tang Jinchuan had made some progress recently. He was really a very suitable person to be an official. He could give her many suggestions in all aspects. Being an empress and hiding in the harem was really a waste of talent.
Ever since Shen Yanxi gave her suggestion, Tang Jinchuan had taken up a sinecure. He would help Nalan Baiqiong to give suggestions when he was going through official documents. The two of them spent more time together and got along quite well. Nalan Baiqiong could often see Shen Yanxi's face showing a gratified expression.
She could tell that Shen Yanxi really hoped that she and Tang Jinchuan could get together. Otherwise, she could get any job she wanted, but she had to get a job that came to see her every day.
However, Tang Jinchuan didn't stay for long every day. He would leave after finishing his own matters. Occasionally, he would stay behind to have a meal with Nalan Baiqiong. He didn't have much to say, and the dining table was always abnormally silent.
Although Tang Jinchuan was the Empress, he was still a man, so he would not chat with the ladies alone. Tang Xue and Liu Dai 'er hosted the banquet, while Tang Jinchuan followed Nalan Baiqiong and chatted with the ministers.
Singing and dancing.
Nalan Baiqiong, a woman, was not interested in watching all kinds of flirtatious dancers performing striptease, so she secretly slipped away, leaving Tang Jinchuan to shock the place and went to the young ladies to watch the show.
The young ladies did not have any striptease to watch. They organized a talent competition. This kind of banquet with many noble ladies attending was to stand out so that they could be noticed and find a good husband.
When Nalan Baiqiong arrived, they were in the middle of a poetry competition.
When they saw her coming, they all bowed. The girls 'eyes were full of admiration, except for Nalan Baiyao.
"Since Qiong 'er is here, why don't you be a judge and choose which one of these flower poems suits you the most?”Tang Xue said with a smile.
Nalan Baiqiong had graduated from the Chinese Language Department, so she thought she could give some pointers. She took one and looked at it. She felt very ashamed. She was a noble lady from ancient times, after all. Her attainments were not something a lazy modern student like her could compare to. She immediately put it down and smiled at Tang Xue."It's not like mother doesn't know that daughter has no attainments in poetry, so why make things difficult for me? Yao Yao has always been famous for her talent, so why not let her give a few comments?”
"You have the nerve to say that as a monarch, you don't even have the right to comment on poetry?”Tang Xue asked with a smile and turned to Nalan Baiyao." Yaoyao, help your sister out. Don't embarrass her."”
Nalan Baiqiong smiled without batting an eyelid. He thought to himself, Wasn't it you who carried me up?
"I'll do as you say." Nalan Baiyao had shown her talent and lived up to her title as the number one talented woman. Her poems were taught by the previous emperor, so how could she dare to say anything wrong?
Lu Meiqun, the daughter of the prime minister, won the first place, followed by Li Fangzhi, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs, and Hu Yu, the third daughter of the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Judging from Miss Hu's look, she seemed to be dissatisfied with her third place.
There were dozens of young ladies who wrote poems, and none of them were just making up the numbers. Being able to get into the top three already proved that the poem was indeed outstanding. In fact, the ranking was not that important.
It was said that the attitude of family members also represented the attitude of officials behind them. Those who didn't know it would definitely think that the relationship between the chief justice and Nalan Baiyao was not good. Actually, Tingwei Hu was loyal to Nalan Baiyao.
Nalan Baiqiong's troops were expanding at a speed that they could not imagine.
A noble young lady even bashfully came to find Nalan Baiqiong, asking about the name of the blue-clothed youth at the auction that day, and why the Imperial Academy could not find this person.
It was love at first sight for Jian Yue.
Nalan Baiqiong promised to send someone to look for her and bowed gratefully,"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is indeed the best person.”
Nalan Baiqiong smiled but did not say anything. If she knew that the lover of her dreams used to be like that and had such a past with the original owner, she did not know how she would feel.
Nalan Baiqiong suddenly realized that Nalan Wendi actually did not attend such a banquet. It was really not like him. Could it be that he took advantage of the fact that this banquet required a large number of guards to patrol and that the defense of the imperial prison was not so tight that he went to look for Night Kill?
If Night Kill were to come out, what would happen?
Nalan Baiqiong hurriedly stopped wandering around and returned to the most heavily guarded official banquet. He also ordered the guards to look for Nalan Wende.
Nothing happened that night until the ministers left the palace with their families. The guards sent news that Nalan Wende had indeed taken the opportunity to sneak into the imperial prison and brought good wine and food to have a heart-to-heart talk with Night Killer. He still knew his limits. The two of them were separated by a cage, and he had no intention of rescuing Night Killer.
Nalan Baiqiong thought about how easy it was for him to capture Night Kill. If Night Kill was really with him…It was not impossible to bring him back to the distant Lingnan! Therefore, she did not strictly control his entry and exit.
There was good news from the border. Li Wenquan had repelled the Hong Dynasty that had tried to invade the border of Dayuan. He had also advanced 500 miles and taken down two of their cities. He thought that there would be a few years of stability. Li Wenquan would return to the court in a few days.
Nalan Baiqiong had almost forgotten about this woman who had spoken rudely to him in the imperial court. Tang Jinchuan looked at this memorial and was somewhat delighted."Wen Quan is indeed a genius."
"Are you familiar with her?" Nalan Baiqiong was slightly surprised.
"When I was still in the Tang residence, Wen Quan often came to the residence to stay. She and I could be considered childhood sweethearts.”Tang Jinchuan explained," She's a very nice person.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:55AM
