The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 163 Anger for Beauty 1

In the spacious and bright Qiyuan Hall, the phoenix-crowned Wuhou was dressed in a light yellow Lingluo wrinkled skirt. She sat behind the dragon's desk in front of her. She held a trumpet in her hand, lowered her head, and quickly corrected the script sent by the capital. Even her forehead had a fine sweat, and she didn't care about wiping it. It was egg-shaped. His face was full of awe, and occasionally he frowned slightly, which added a little diligence to worry about the country and the people, at least in the eyes of Zhao Mingquan, the young Yin of Luoyang Mansion, who stood tremblingly next to the hall.

Zhao Mingquan, a native of Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, is a family of eunuchs. His ancestor Zhao Kui was the former governor of Yangzhou in the Sui Dynasty. His father, Zhao Cheng, was the county magistrate of Lantian. Later, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Li Shiminfu, who was the king of Qin at that time, became the deputy director Bo. He participated in the "change of Xuanwumen". Soon after, he died of illness. Zhao Mingquan attacked the county's male title, Zhenguannian He has successively held the positions of county lieutenant of Jiaoxian County, Qingzhou Sima and other positions. Later, he has been transferred to Shaoyin in the eastern capital Luoyang in the first year of Qianfeng. Although the official is not small, he is a high-ranking official from the fourth grade. Unfortunately, he is a local official. As usual, he is not qualified for the court, and it is rare to have the opportunity to visit Tianyan. Yesterday, at noon, he received an order from the palace to mention the empress. Zhao Mingquan did not dare to neglect. Early in the morning, he handed the sign to see him. Instead, he successfully entered the Qiyuan Hall. However, he had been standing in the hall for nearly an hour, but he had never waited for the instruction of the Empress Wu. Zhao Mingquan couldn't help beating the drum in his heart. In fact, he couldn't understand which play the Queen Wu was singing, but I didn't dare to say anything to disturb him. He could only stand under the hall and wait in horror.

"I want to show you that Zhao Shaoyin has arrived."

I don't know how long it took. Queen Wu finally raised her head from the thick pile of books, straightened her body with a tired face, put the wolf in her hand on the pen holder, as if she was about to get up. Yan Desheng, who was waiting beside her, quickly walked closer and whispered.

"Oh? What about the people? When did they arrive? Why don't you remind me?"

As soon as Yan Desheng's voice fell, Wu's back color suddenly sank and he scolded unhappily.

"Weichen Luoyang Mansion Shao Yin Zhao Mingquan knocked on the Queen's Lady."

Zhao Mingquan was introduced into the hall by Yan Desheng. Seeing the Empress Wu's behavior, he couldn't sit and watch Yan Desheng being criticized, so he hurriedly flashed out of the side and said politely loudly.

"Zhao Shaoyin, please get up. I am busy with government affairs, and I have made Zhao Shaoyin wait for a long time. It's all my fault."

Empress Wu's attitude towards Yan Desheng was harsh, but she was very kind to Zhao Mingquan. She smiled, raised her hand with an apologetic face, and apologized gently.

"Weichen dare not. The Empress is diligent in state affairs and cares about all day by day. Weichen admires her and can be favored by the Empress. It's a blessing in her life."

How dare Zhao Mingquan lose his courtesy in front of Queen Wu? He bowed his body and hurriedly to flatter him. Obviously, his kung fu was extremely good.

"Zhao Shaoyin has been overreputed. I'm just worried that the children will not be able to do things properly. It's not a great move. That's all, let alone this. I heard that Zhao Shaoyin has a daughter who is still waiting for her. I don't know if that's the case?" Empress Wu obviously enjoyed the flattery presented by Zhao Mingquan. Although she was humble, the smile on her face was a little brighter. Finally, she casually turned the topic to Zhao Qiong.

"In the words of Hui Niang, Weichen does have a daughter, a single name 'Qiang', fifteen years old, and it has not been hired yet. I don't know, ah, I don't know that the Queen is..."

Zhao Mingquan can get a high-ranking official from the fourth grade. Naturally, he will not be a fool. When he heard that Wuhou suddenly asked Zhao Qiong, his heart was suddenly shaken. It was known that the intention of Hou Wu's summoning her to come was to fall on Zhao Qiong, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out what Wu Hou was going to do, so he had to He asked tentatively.

"Fifteenth? Well, it's not young. It's time to get married. In this case, I will make a decision for you and point out a good marriage for the little girl. What's Zhao Shaoyin's intention? Queen Wu raised the corners of her mouth, showed a mysterious smile, and asked slowly.

"This... Ah, it's all up to the Empress, and there is no objection."

The queen pointed out that it was a great honor to get married. It seemed that it should be a good time to celebrate the last time. The problem was that this matter was obviously not that simple. Zhao Mingquan hesitated for a moment and suddenly saw that the Empress Wu's face had drooped. Suddenly, she was so scared that her legs and feet were weak and hurriedly changed her mouth.

"Well, that's good."

At this sight, Zhao Mingquan nodded his head. The Empress Wu's face immediately turned a little, and she meditated for a moment as if she was thoughtful. Then she continued, "After Zuo Yulinjun's Qianniu prepared (military official's name, Zhengliu grade) Wang Yi is a meritorious minister, she is dignified and rare talent. She should be worthy of your daughter. That's it. What does Zhao Shaoyin think?

"Ah, this..."

Zhao Mingquan only has Zhao Qiong's daughter under her knees. She has always been spoiled. It can be said that she was afraid of falling in her hand and melted in her mouth. Otherwise, she would not have been fifteen years old, and she was reluctant to give her permission. She planned to find a marriage for Zhao Qiong after the Spring Festival, but she didn't expect that Queen Wu would come with such a hand, designated He is actually a martial artist, which is obviously not in line with Zhao Mingquan's original intention.

"What? Is Zhao Shaoyin dissatisfied with this palace's words, huh?"

When Zhao Mingquan was hesitating and didn't know how to respond, the Empress Wu's face was gloomy and she snorted coldly. Weichen

"Weichen dare not, Weichen will obey the will of the Empress."

Queen Wu is not a very kind person. With this cold face, she is so evil that Zhao Mingquan can't stand it. Poor Zhao Mingquan was so scared that he sweated like a spring, and his legs couldn't help shuddering. How could he have the courage to be stronger and hurriedly bowed his life.

"Well, that's right. This is a happy event. It should be sooner rather than later. The day after tomorrow will be auspicious. It's better to decide earlier. If Zhao Shaoyin has no objection, then go back and prepare." Queen Wu did not give Zhao Mingquan any room for resistance at all, and undoubtedly issued an eviction order.

"The Empress is holy, and I will leave."

At this point, Zhao Mingquan didn't have much courage to resist. He could only obediently kowtow and retreat, but the footsteps out of the hall were extremely floating, and his back also cringed up, and his whole body seemed to be ten years old in an instant...

In the study of Zhou Wangfu, Li Xian, who had just finished lunch, was not in a hurry to take a nap, but held "Wei Gong's Soldiers and Horse" in his hand. He opened it one by one. His mind was not in the book, and there was a figure in his eyes - Zhao Qiong, since he really met yesterday, Li Xian's heart was a little confused. Last night. I didn't sleep well over and over again. I always wanted to see Zhao Qiong again. I had already figured out an excuse to go to Zhao's house, but the courage to get up early in the morning and brew all night actually disappeared. After a long time, I still couldn't make it. This hesitation made Li Xian feel funny, but he stood up several times and really wanted to go out. I just arrived at the door of the study, but I turned back resentfully. Without it, it was just three words - timid! Therefore, Comrade Li Xian finally understood that he was sick, which was not an ordinary disease, a famous difficult and miscellaneous disease, which was particularly difficult to treat - love syndrome!

I'm going. What's wrong? Let's admit it, but we have to cure it. If we don't play, find a "doctor"! In front of Li Qiang, Zhao Qiong's figure was always flashing, and his heart was itchy. Finally, he summoned up his courage for the Nth time and put the book in his hand on the table. Suddenly, he got up, patted a few times, and strode to the door of the study. But before Li Xian turned the screen, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and Gao Miao's head was full. He sweated and rushed into the study. For a moment, he couldn't stop his feet and almost hit Li Xian's body. In such a hurry, Li Xian immediately frowned.

"Den, Your Highness, no, it's not good. Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong..."

Gao Miao didn't care how ugly Li Xian's face was at all, and shouted breathlessly.

"Ting it clearly, what's wrong, say it!"

Li Xian knows that Gao Mio's nature is not the kind of reckless person who likes to bluff. When he saw Gao Mio so nervous, his heart couldn't help sinking, his face was dull, and he shouted coldly.

"Your Highness, there is a letter of approval from the palace and the palace. The empress has issued an order to prepare Wang Yi, the daughter of Zhao and Zhao Shaoyin, Xu, and Yu Zuo Yulinjun Qianniu."

Gao Mi was scared by Li Xianyi and gasped a little more anxiously, but he did not dare to neglect and stammered to report the news.

"What? Say it again!"

As soon as Gao Mio said this, Li Xian's mind exploded with a "buzz", and his eyes became red in an instant. He roared, stretched out his big hand, and he had already picked up Gao Mio's chest.

"Your Highness, this, this is true. The palace and the palace have spread, slave maidservant, slave maidservant..."

Gao Miao is Li Xian's personal companion. Yesterday, he saw that there seemed to be a story between Li Xian and Zhao Qiong, so he paid attention to it. This time, he accidentally found this information when he was checking all kinds of messages from the inside of the palace. He knew that it was different, so he rushed to report to Li Xian. At this time, he saw that Li Xian was so gaffe. He was more satisfied with his previous judgment. In his anxiety, tears and sweat were all intertwined.

"Why is it like this? How can it be like this? Why? Why?"

There was a sudden pain in Li Xian's heart. Venus appeared wildly in front of him. He let go of his hand and put Gao Miu down on the ground. He took two big steps in a row and muttered, as if he had gone crazy.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you, you..."

Seeing Li Xian's look like this, Gao Mi suddenly panicked. He didn't care about tidying up the front that was messed up by Li Xian. He hurriedly rushed forward, reached out to hold Li Xian's shaky body, and shouted anxiously...
