Yan Chengyuan was speechless for a long time.
In the evening, Emperor Ming Yan asked someone to bring him a copy of "Biographies of Women in the Four Extremes".
This book is actually widely circulated in Dongfeng County and even Qinzhou, but everyone avoids Tang Shiyue.
Because this book is about Mr. Wang.
It was mainly taken from Xu Wenqu's words in the lobby that day, with some additional descriptions and polishing. I don't know who wrote it, but it was surprisingly very detailed and eight percent true.
When scholars curse people, they are always very sharp. The so-called four extremes refer to the extreme of greed, the extreme of stupidity, the extreme of evil, and the extreme of meanness...
Looking at this, it is easy to see what kind of life Tang Shiyue lived before.
Moreover, Yan Chengyuan could really understand what it felt like to have a mother who was beyond words.
Emperor Ming Yan probably meant that if her life wasn't so miserable, she wouldn't be so dependent on a lynx.
It was just that Emperor Ming Yan was really worrying too much. He had no intention of holding a grudge against Tang Shiyue, even if the child was not his... he could see clearly the right and wrong.
...
...
For the next two days, Tang Shiyue did not see Yan Chengyuan or Emperor Ming Yan.
If it were someone else, she would probably worry that she didn't give Yan Chengyuan face and angered the emperor... She would be very worried about this.
But Tang Shiyue never bothered about such things. No matter who the other person was, she would only try to please him/her when they met. But when they really got along with each other, she was Tang Shiyue. If she was unhappy, she was unhappy, and if she didn't forgive, she didn't forgive.
I have never been a saint!
They were living in a garden owned by the locals at the time. There were large patches of honeysuckle by the wall. It was rare that the flowers were so lush in this weather. Tang Shiyue asked if they could pick any, so she took Wei Xin and the other person to pick a few baskets, preparing to come back and make some honeysuckle essential oil.
Honeysuckle essential oil can moisturize the skin, remove freckles, and delay aging, and has miraculous effects. It is said to be the favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi.
As a result, when he was walking back with the basket, he ran into Emperor Ming Yan and Yan Chengyuan sitting in the pavilion, and a man was kneeling next to them and talking about something.
Tang Shiyue was about to go around when she saw Emperor Ming Yan waving at her: "Enfu, come here."
Tang Shiyue gave the basket to Wei Xin and walked over. Emperor Ming Yan said to the man, "Go on."
The man looked at her and continued to talk. Tang Shiyue listened for a long time before she understood. It turned out that this guy was saying that she shouldn't be asked to accompany the emperor. He was saying that she was harboring evil intentions, harming loyal people, and seducing the master...
What the hell is going on! What did she do?
She suddenly looked at Yan Chengyuan.
I wondered if this was the legendary infighting in the officialdom? Did this person finally take action? Otherwise, why would she kill loyal officials? She had never even killed a chicken.
A grown man is here to plot and scheme without any hesitation! Don’t you know that I am not good at this?
She looked at him angrily.
It was a very serious occasion, but Emperor Ming Yan almost laughed out loud.
Yan Chengyuan, who was caught in the crossfire, was also extremely speechless.
Then the censor finally finished speaking passionately, pointed at her and said, "Your Majesty, please execute this evil spirit immediately!"
Tang Shiyue rolled her eyes: "You are the evil one! If you are so capable, why don't you go to heaven?"
The censor was furious: "You are such a vulgar and shallow person!"
"Oh! You think I'm uneducated, don't you?" Tang Shiyue changed the subject: "You are a natural beauty, why don't you go straight to the sky?"
Emperor Mingyan coughed twice in succession. The censor kowtowed in grief and indignation, tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, I have devoted my heart to Your Majesty and the country, but I never thought that I would be humiliated by her like this..."
Tang Shiyue was really speechless: "You said I had such a long book, and I only said one sentence!! You cried like this with just one sentence. Can't you tell that you look like this? Are you made of water?"
Emperor Ming Yan tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Because this censor was really strong.
Emperor Mingyan coughed, "Enfu, stop messing around! Speak properly! Speak with reason!"
"Reasoning, eh? Okay," Tang Shiyue said, "What's your name, sir?"
The man said, "I am Yu Cheng."
"Master Yu, let's talk... I remember that before in Dongfeng County, I planted flowers in the fields granted by the emperor. I planted dozens of acres of land, and the emperor asked me what my deep meaning was."
She looked at Yu Cheng and said, "Normally, good farmland should be used to grow food, not flowers. But the emperor didn't get angry. Instead, he asked me what I meant. Do you know why?"
Yu Cheng sneered, thinking, why else? Because you seduced the master! I'm right! Stand up proudly!
Tang Shiyue said: "Because I just showed the emperor watermelons and cotton, the emperor thought I was a reliable person in farming, so he didn't rush to get angry, but asked me why first."
"In fact, this is normal. The same thing can be done by a person of high moral character and a person of low moral character. There is no need to say more about the latter. For the former, the first thing people should think about is why this happened and whether there is any deeper meaning."
"And now, in this matter, I am a little-known woman. Lord Yu doesn't know me, so of course he doesn't have any preconceived impression of me, right? So, Lord Yu put the blame on me without even thinking about it. Is it because... is the emperor such a person in your mind? Can he be 'seduced' by any 'seductive charm'?"
Yu Cheng's legs went weak and he knelt down, his heavy clothes soaked with sweat.
He never expected that after talking for so long, she would come to such a conclusion.
But he couldn't refute it!
Tang Shiyue suddenly thought of the national cute emperor, Uncle Si, so she couldn't help but tease him: "Actually, I know what you want to do."
Yu Cheng: “???”
Tang Shiyue said seriously: "Do you want to gain fame?"
Yu Cheng: “???”
She continued quickly: "One fold is enough. I advise you not to be frivolous anymore. Otherwise, you will end up losing more than you gain!"
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
In fact, Emperor Ming Yan had been on the throne for nearly twenty years and was extremely powerful. He was a typical example of a strong emperor and weak ministers. Not to mention that Tang Shiyue had really made contributions to the country, even if Emperor Ming Yan just doted on a commoner girl, generally no one would say much.
Now, this person who has stepped out has finally helped everyone test Emperor Ming Yan's attitude, and also tested the extent of Tang Shiyue's favor. From now on, no one will dare to act rashly.
After sending this creature made of water away, Emperor Ming Yan saw that she was so proud of having won the argument that he couldn't bear to hit her.
So I asked her tactfully, "Did Chen Hong teach you the book?"
Tang Shiyue's smile disappeared.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "What has he been doing these days?"
He was telling her some gossip about a classmate who is now his colleague. He couldn't finish telling the whole story in one go, so this was already the second time... Men are no worse than women when it comes to gossiping, and it's much more fun than a play.
Emperor Mingyan said: "I will change one for you tomorrow."
"Don't! Lord Chen is a good man." Tang Shiyue begged him: "Your Majesty, I'm not going to take the imperial examination, and I'm not afraid of not being able to get married. What's the point of being so knowledgeable? A person's energy is limited. If you are smart in this aspect, you are not smart in that aspect. Isn't it good for me to think about things that everyone likes? Don't you still lack knowledgeable people around you? What you lack is obviously someone like me!"
Emperor Ming Yan had a stern face at first, but was amused by her. "You kid, you have a lot of twisted ideas and you are a talent with a flowery mouth. I don't lack any of you!"
He thought for a while and said, "Studying can be put aside for now. You must practice calligraphy well, one hour a day, without interruption, and without making any mistakes. When you are done, show it to me."
That's not a wrong character! That's a simplified character! It's really hard for a modern person to learn a new Chinese character!
Tang Shiyue nodded with a bitter face: "Oh!"
Emperor Mingyan suppressed his laughter and said, "Go ahead."
Tang Shiyue bowed and left, leaving Yan Chengyuan with an unpredictable look.
This young lady acted so freely and coquettishly in front of the emperor, saying whatever she wanted to say... They really looked like real father and daughter.
But they treated him like an enemy, and this situation was caused by Yan Liangchou.
Is this fate playing tricks on me?
Even he, who never believed in these things, couldn't help but doubt, is it true that Yan Liangchou is in conflict with their Yan family?
