Chapter 305 Murong Xueer Asks for a Name
Wang Qingci, who was pregnant, came to the door of the study with the help of the maid. She was looking for Lu Chen to tell him that she was about to give birth and had no energy to manage Tingyu Tower, so she wanted to temporarily hand over Tingyu Tower to other sisters in the palace.
However, as soon as she walked to the door of the study, she saw the maid at the door of the study with a red face. The maid said at this time: "Madam Wang, the prince and Madam Lin have important matters to discuss, and it is not convenient to see other people for the time being."
Hearing this, Wang Qingci instantly understood what was going on.
Although the pregnant Wang Qingci still had a seductive smell, she had more maternal instincts because of her pregnancy, and she would not be jealous of Lu Chen doing such things.
Listening to the faint sound coming from the study, Wang Qingci stroked her big belly, lowered her head and said to her belly: "Don't learn from your father in the future. He is a bad guy who can't live without women all day long."
At this time, Lu Chen was already stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate himself. Although he had sensed that Wang Qingci was outside and she had something to do with him, he had no way to leave at this time.
Wang Qingci didn't continue to wait at the door of the study. She believed that Lu Chen should know that she had been here. After Lu Chen's business was done, Lu Chen would probably take the initiative to find her.
After Wang Qingci left, Lu Chen was busy for an unknown period of time. Lin Wanyun, with her hair disheveled, came out of the study with her torn dress.
Lin Wanyun felt that she would be on guard against Lu Chen in the future. Even if there was something, she would try not to come to the study to discuss with Lu Chen.
This study is not a good place. At the beginning, Wang Qingci was fooling around with Lu Chen in the study of the old palace every day. It was obvious that Lu Chen liked to do bad things in the study.
After Lin Wanyun left, Lu Chen called the maid and asked her to clean the study room. Then he stayed in the study room and wrote a memorial to the court.
Time passed quickly. Three days was just a blink of an eye for Lu Chen.
Today is the day when Murong Xueer held a poetry meeting in Baihua Tower. Many talented people have gathered in Baihua Garden.
In order to win the heart of Murong Xueer, a talented woman, they showed their talents.
Although Murong Xueer has been an envoy to Yancheng for several months, most people know that Murong Xueer is an important official around Queen Dayue and the person Queen Dayue trusts the most. Sooner or later, Murong Xueer will be called back by Queen Dayue.
In addition, many literati and talented people heard that Murong Xueer was a dissolute woman. The reason why she was driven to the North Country by Emperor Yue was because Murong Xueer kept a male lover.
This gave those talented scholars hope. In their opinion, as long as they could win the favor of Murong Xueer, they might be able to become Murong Xueer's lover, so the talented scholars in the Hundred Flowers Garden became more eager to perform.
At this time, Murong Xueer, wearing a white dress with black edges, walked to the second floor of the Hundred Flowers Building and glanced at the talented scholars below the Hundred Flowers Building.
Today, Murong Xueer dressed as usual, but her simple and elegant clothes set off her coldness and talent. Her temperament attracted all the literati and scholars in the Hundred Flowers Garden, and people's eyes fell on her involuntarily.
At this time, Murong Xueer said: "Thank you all for coming to participate in the poetry meeting I held. Today's poetry meeting has multiple themes. I specially invited the poet Wei Li to appreciate the poems of all the talented scholars."
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.
People did not expect that Murong Xueer actually invited Wei Li. Wei Li, like Zhuge Chongguang, is the object of admiration of the world's literati.
However, Wei Li had almost no fixed residence in recent years. People could see him in any dynasty, and Wei Li almost never accepted invitations from the major dynasties, and rarely participated in any activities.
The poems of Wei Li that people know are all before Wei Li became famous. Now Wei Li has almost no new works.
Of course, this does not hinder Wei Li's sacred image in the minds of literati.
At this time, a white-haired old man walked to Murong Xueer's side, and the crowd became agitated again.
"It's really Senior Wei Li!"
"This is the first time I heard that Senior Wei Li participated in such a private poetry meeting?"
"I didn't expect Miss Murong to be able to invite Senior Wei Li. Is Senior Wei Li planning to join the Dayue Dynasty?"
"Didn't Senior Wei Li say in the past that he would not join any dynasty?"
"Who knows? Maybe he doesn't want to run around anymore and plans to find a place to live."
...
Just as people were talking about it, the white-haired old man whispered to Murong Xueer: "Miss Murong, are you sure that the King of the North will participate in this poetry meeting?"
Murong Xueer smiled faintly, and then said: "The King of the North has agreed, and he will definitely come today."
Wei Li said: "Then I'll leave my business to you."
Murong Xueer said: "Don't worry, Senior Wei Li, I will find a way to help you find out about Senior Zhuge."
Wei Li and Zhuge Chongguang are two holy mountains in the hearts of literati, and Zhuge Chongguang's reputation has always been higher than Wei Li.
Decades ago, Wei Li had been unwilling to accept that he was inferior to Zhuge Chongguang, so he tried every possible way to surpass Zhuge Chongguang. However, no matter what he did, Zhuge Chongguang was still the literary saint in people's hearts.
In front of Zhuge Chongguang, a literary sage, the so-called Immortal of Poetry was just a joke to him, and Wei Li gave up later. He began to travel around the world in these years, trying to find a way to break through before Zhuge Chongguang.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Chongguang actually broke through one step ahead of him, which shocked Wei Li.
He and Zhuge Chongguang both took the path of entering the Tao through literature, so he was always comparing with Zhuge Chongguang. Zhuge Chongguang was the first to break through to the realm of heaven and man, which he could not accept no matter what.
But recently, he suddenly heard that Zhuge Chongguang didn't seem to have a real breakthrough. There were rumors that Zhuge Chongguang had only entered the pseudo-celestial state and was still far from the celestial state. This allowed Wei Li to see the possibility of surpassing Zhuge Chongguang again. hope.
It happened that Murong Xueer found Wei Li and asked him to participate in her poetry meeting. After Wei Li guessed Murong Xueer's purpose, he wanted to use Murong Xueer to find out Zhuge Chongguang's real situation from the King of the North. I really want to know whether Zhuge Chongguang really did not break through to the realm of heaven and man.
Soon, the poetry meeting began. In order to win the heart of Murong Xueer, the talented literati in Baiyuan Garden tried their best to show off their talents.
Unfortunately, Murong Xueer's attention was not on them at all. Although she had been sitting on the second floor, her mind was always worried about whether Lu Chen would come.
As the poetry meeting passed halfway, Murong Xueer was convinced that Lu Chen would come from the beginning, but she became a little worried. The King of Bei clearly told the person who sent the invitation that he would come, but why has he not seen her yet at this time today? Lu Chen?
Could it be that something happened in the Northern Kingdom, or there was some major action in the Northern Kingdom, so the Northern King was unable to come.
At this time, the literary talents in Baiyuan Garden saw that Murong Xueer's face did not look good, and she looked a little unhappy. They thought that their performance was not good, which made Murong Xueer feel very dissatisfied.
Think about it, although it is rumored that Murong Xueer is a bit of a libertine and likes to have male pets, but she has such a high status after all, the men she likes must be very good, and her requirements will naturally be very high.
In order to make Murong Xueer smile, the literary talents in Baiyuan Garden worked harder to express themselves. After an unknown period of time, Murong Xueer looked at the group of men in Baiyuan Garden who were working hard to express themselves, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. .
The poetry meeting is almost over, but King Bei still hasn't come. It seems that King Bei will not come back today.
If you want to get close to King Bei, you may have to look for another opportunity.
At this time, Wei Li said from the side: "It seems that Miss Murong made a miscalculation today."
Just as Wei Li finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the door of Baiyuan Garden, "The prince is here!"
Hearing this, everyone in Baiyuan Garden was stunned.
Prince?
In the Northern Kingdom, the only person who directly calls the prince is the Northern King. After all, the Northern Kingdom is the fiefdom of the Northern King. If other vassal kings come to the Northern Kingdom, they will directly address the title. For example, when King Qi comes to the Northern Kingdom, others will definitely call him "Qi". The king has arrived."
Isn’t King Bei always busy?
Either busy governing the Northern Kingdom, or busy having fun in his Northern Palace.
Why is he interested in attending this kind of poetry gathering today?
But having said that, the poetry meeting is almost over now, and King Bei just came, what’s the point?
After a while, a tall and handsome man wearing white clothes and a single ponytail entered the Baiyuan Garden.
After seeing Lu Chen appear, Murong Xueer breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally here. She thought Lu Chen wouldn't come today.
As soon as Lu Chen walked into Baiyuan Garden, a maid hurriedly came to Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, my lady invites you to get together on the second floor."
Hearing this, Lu Chen looked up to the second floor, and met Murong Xueer's eyes. Murong Xueer showed a smile towards Lu Chen.
Seeing this scene, the intellectuals in Baiyuan Garden were instantly unhappy. They had just tried every means to make Murong Xueer smile, but in the end, Murong Xueer didn't even smile.
On the contrary, when Bei Wang came, he didn't do anything. He just glanced at Murong Xueer, and a smile appeared on Murong Xueer's face.
At this time, Lu Chen followed the maid to the second floor.
After arriving on the second floor, Murong Xueer immediately saluted and said, "I've met King Bei."
Wei Li also said: "I pay my respects to the King of the North."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "No courtesy."
Lu Chen then continued with a smile: "Miss Murong, I'm really sorry. The palace has something to do, so I'm late. I hope you don't mind."
Murong Xueer said: "I don't mind. I am already honored that Your Majesty can come to participate in the poetry meeting I organized. How could I mind."
Just as Murong Xueer's words fell, a man below the Baiyuan Garden couldn't help it anymore. He directly said to Lu Chen on the balcony on the second floor: "My lord, I heard that you are knowledgeable and proficient in all kinds of poetry, lyrics and songs. I don't know that we are here today." Are you lucky enough to see the prince’s talent?”
Hearing this, Murong Xueer was about to speak for Lu Chen, but Lu Chen said calmly: "Erudent?"
"Who did you hear that this king is knowledgeable?"
"As far as I know, in the eyes of the common people, I have always been an uneducated person who is greedy for beauty."
Lu Chen's words immediately shocked the person who just spoke, and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, another man said, "Today is the poetry meeting held by Miss Murong. Since the prince is also participating, why don't you write a poem?"
People thought that the King of the North was an unlearned person. What kind of poem could he write? If the King of the North could not write a poem later, or the poem he wrote was nonsense, maybe it would be able to change Murong Xueer's view of the King of the North.
Just when people thought so, Lu Chen said with a smile: "This king came to the poetry meeting today, not to write poems."
Then someone from another dynasty said: "The prince came to the poetry meeting, not to write poems, so what is it for?"
Hearing this question, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Murong Xueer, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to care about the beauty."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Hundred Flowers Garden was instantly extremely angry. Although they also came for Murong Xueer, they at least followed the rules and did not speak their thoughts directly. As a result, the King of the North came and said such words.
Vulgar! It's really vulgar!
Although the King of the North was vulgar, they didn't dare to say anything like driving him out. After all, this was in the King of the North's fiefdom, and the King of the North was not a soft persimmon. Those literati could only swallow this breath.
Lu Chen said: "Okay, I'm just here to watch the excitement, and you can continue your poetry meeting."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Murong Xueer said: "Next, write a poem with snow as the theme."
After Murong Xueer finished speaking, the talented people continued to write poems. Although they always felt a little annoying when looking at the King of the North, they could only continue now.
In their opinion, Murong Xueer smiled at the King of the North, perhaps just because the King of the North was the lord of the North Country, and it was understandable that she was a little polite to the King of the North on the land of the North Country.
Moreover, Murong Xueer invited the King of the North to participate in the poetry meeting just to make this poetry meeting more famous. Murong Xueer didn't have any good feelings towards the King of the North in her heart.
How could a vulgar man like the King of the North win the heart of the talented Murong Xueer? They were just overthinking.
Thinking of this, the literati felt much better, and then the poetry meeting continued.
However, the poetry meeting ended quickly. To the disappointment of the talented scholars, Murong Xueer did not keep any of them.
At the same time, Lu Chen was invited to the room on the third floor. At this time, Murong Xueer had not come to the third floor yet. Lu Chen sat in the room and glanced at the decoration of the room.
There were many flowers and plants in the room, and there were many ink paintings and calligraphy on the wall. The whole room was full of the fragrance of books.
Lu Chen came to the table and sat down. The next moment, a maid entered the room with a pot of hot water. She poured a cup of tea for Lu Chen and said, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. Our young lady has gone to take a bath and will be up soon."
Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said, "Let your young lady take her time to bathe. There is no hurry."
The maid said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After pouring tea for Lu Chen, the maid said, "I will take my leave."
After the maid left, Lu Chen took a look at the teacup in front of him. He guessed that there must be something in it.
Then Lu Chen picked up the teacup without hesitation and drank it directly. The next moment, he felt that his whole body's spiritual power was concentrated in Dantian, and the water close to what he had just drunk began to evaporate rapidly.
Lu Chen can now simply analyze the composition of the medicine. He directly judged that this is a kind of aphrodisiac. As long as a man takes this medicine, he will most likely not be able to control himself.
It seems that Murong Xueer is planning to use the beauty trap directly on him, and she is ready to sacrifice herself for this.
After a while, Murong Xueer entered the room. Lu Chen was looking at a painting in front of a book at this time. After hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Murong Xueer.
Murong Xueer was dressed the same as before, still wearing white clothes with black edges, and her cold temperament remained the same.
Seeing Lu Chen looking at the painting, Murong Xueer smiled and asked: "Does the prince also want ancient paintings?"
Lu Chen said: "I can't say I like it, I just have some interest."
Lu Chen said at this time: "Miss Murong invited me to participate in the poetry meeting, there must be something?"
Hearing this question, Murong Xueer smiled faintly, and then said: "I see that the prince is vigorously promoting universal education and letting all children in the north read and write. I thought the prince was a person who liked poetry and songs."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "It seems that I have disappointed Miss Murong."
Lu Chen said at this time: "But speaking of it, I really don't have much interest in poetry and songs, but I do have some interest in calligraphy."
At this point, Lu Chen came to a calligraphy hanging in the room.
Murong Xueer walked to Lu Chen's side, glanced at the calligraphy in front of Lu Chen, and then said: "If the prince likes this calligraphy, I will give it to the prince?"
Lu Chen said: "How can I do that."
Murong Xueer said: "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. During my time in Yancheng, I was taken care of by the prince. A calligraphy is nothing."
Lu Chen said: "Okay then."
At this time, Murong Xueer suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Since the prince likes calligraphy, the prince's calligraphy must be very distinctive. I want to ask the prince to write a calligraphy for me. I wonder if it is okay?"
Lu Chen said: "No problem."
Murong Xueer then said, "Then I will grind the ink for the prince myself."
Then Murong Xueer came to the desk in the room and began to grind the ink for Lu Chen. Murong Xueer bent down slightly, and from Lu Chen's perspective, he could just see Murong Xueer's buttocks.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen was slightly stunned. This Murong Xueer really knew how to tease a man.
