Chapter 46: Court Banquet (Part 2)

Liu Zhenming, the fat man, felt my gaze and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, don't look at the little girl being raised as a boy since she was young, but her surname is gentle and tight. Your Majesty should not be too careful."

It would be fine if he didn't say that, but after saying this, it would arouse my suspicion. I made up my mind and try to find excuses to avoid it in the future. However, on the surface, I also said perfunctorily: "It's the extreme, it's the extreme. Liu Aiqing's daughter taught by such a talented man is naturally gentle and outstanding."

At the banquet, Liu Zhenming didn't want to pick it up and said, so he had to laugh softly: "In this way, when will the emperor come to the humble house? It's also possible for the empress to fulfill his filial piety."

I cursed in my heart: "Fatty, are you so anxious? Can't her daughter really get married?" Suddenly, I felt a strange look again. Looking sideways, I saw Tao Ziying paying close attention to the conversation between us. Although it was well concealed on the surface, it seemed that she was talking and laughing with Jian Lingtai and others. However, her ears were looking towards us, and her eyes often glanced towards us intentionally or unintentionally.

I was secretly guessing in my heart. Could it be that this girl had a good impression of me, so she became tentative and smiled and shouted at Liu Zhenming, "Old Liu, how is your daughter? What kind of talent? I want to see her after hearing this." After that, I secretly looked at Tao Ziying. Sure enough, the girl frowned slightly when she heard it, and she forced a smile on her face. After saying this, she said that, and then took advantage of drinking to take care of us, which made me feel secretly floating in my heart.

When Liu Zhenming heard this, he smiled and said proudly: "Your Majesty, I am not a brag. My daughter of the Liu family is praised by everyone, and has talent and appearance. She is proficient in everything. When the emperor sees her, I will like you. If you are not satisfied, you can twist the ears of Weichen."

I said, are there any probationary period and third guarantee period? However, in order to test the girl's true reaction to me, I showed a very interested expression and patted Liu Zhenming's shoulder enthusiastically and said, "Old Liu, I was interested when you said this. It would be better if you brought your daughter into the palace. If I am satisfied, after reporting to the Empress Dowager, I will make her a concubine. By then, you, the father-in-law, will not be able to escape."

Liu Zhengming was happy to open his color and said repeatedly: "Then I would like to thank the emperor."

"Bang." A bowl fell to the ground, and Tao Ziying stood there blankly with her eyes on the spot. Everyone's eyes immediately looked over.

"Ziying, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Tao Qian asked hurriedly with concern when he saw his daughter suddenly lose her composure.

"No, nothing." Tao Ziying woke up and smiled and covered her with a forced smile: "I just had too much alcohol and felt dizzy."

"Nephew Tao, look at your gentle and kind look, you know that you can't drink." Liu Zhenming said excitedly: "Isn't this possible? You have to practice well. When my daughter enters the palace, you Uncle Liu will have a big banquet for all officials. You, the new top scholar, will definitely not be able to miss your portion. At that time, this amount of alcohol will probably not be able to pass the test."

Tao Ziying's face became clearer and clearer, and she protected her chest and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen's chest suddenly became stuffy and wanted to go out for a walk."

I saw her like that, but I felt even more happy. It turned out that she had feelings for me too. Hehe, otherwise she would not have lost her composure. So I pretended to be concerned and said, "Ziying, I, I, the Imperial Doctor Xuan, came here to show you?" As he said that, he turned his head to Xiaoduozi who was serving one side and said, "Xiaoduozi, go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Gongsun over."

"Slave obeys the order." Xiaodaozi beat up a thousand and prepared to go.

"No need for this father-in-law." Tao Ziying hurriedly stood up and stopped Xiao Duozi. He immediately laughed at me and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do, just go out and have some breathing."

"Yeah, then go." I waved my hand: "I'm better in a while and come back."

"I thanked the emperor, I will go out first." Tao Ziying bowed to me and quickly left the Golden Palace.

Tao Qian turned around and apologized to me: "Don't blame me, the dog has always been weak in physique. The old minister doesn't know how many tonics he has used, but it has not been effective."

I responded lightly, and then said, "When you have time, let Doctor Gongsun and Ziying go and have a look."

Tao Qian agreed with gratitude. After drinking for a while, I quickly swayed with convenience reasons. I returned to Zhonghe Hall and stopped Xiao Duozi and a few imperial guards. I walked out of the side door of Zhonghe Hall and walked through the outer corridor to the front square.

"See the Emperor in a humble position." When several palace guards standing beside him, they hurriedly knelt down to salute me when they saw me.

"Get up." I waved my hand lightly, and then asked again: "Have you seen the new top scorer go where have you gone?"

The new top scorer is easy to recognize, after all, he wears the largest red flower on his chest.

"Report to the emperor, the new top scholar, Lord Tao, said he would go to the Neijinshui River to relax. It seemed that the direction was the Broken Rainbow Bridge." The guard immediately stood up and bowed to me and said.

"Oh." I responded lightly, and immediately crossed the square and walked towards the Broken Rainbow Bridge. After walking for a while, I saw Tao Ziying from afar. I sat alone on the white jade guardrail of the Broken Rainbow Bridge, as if I was staring at the Jinshui River.

I walked straight towards her, but when I was about to approach her, my mind suddenly changed and I opened my mind. I let my steps lighten. I stopped until it was ten feet behind her.

Tao Ziying, no, Tao Yingying didn't notice my arrival at all, staring at the river alone.

I waited for a while, but I didn't see her doing anything. When I wanted to come forward to call her, I suddenly sighed quietly, "Yu'er, Yu'er, why do you think I'm so unfortunate?"

I was stunned. What is her misfortune? The daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the dignified imperial court, has now won the new top scorer. This made me, the emperor, look forward to it. All the good things that others would never think of in their lifetime have been taken on her alone. What else do I want to do? In this way, I did not disturb her, but wanted to hear what she had in her heart.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, what should I do?" Tao Yingying sighed again: "Why is he the emperor? How great would it be if he was an ordinary person!"

I suddenly felt a sudden heart, she was talking about me. However, she couldn't help but feel happy. Tao Yingying had indeed fallen in love with me.

"The clouds fly against the wind for thousands of miles, the water surging, the lonely boat is surging, the cold light is shining, the green hair is shining, the heroes are singing, the words love and friendship are coming, since ancient times, good and evil are clear, and they smile at the sky, good men will not regret it in this life, and they will drink it thousands of cups with good wine." Tao Yingying suddenly sang softly, singing the song that Yuanxiao said, "I sang loudly in the restaurant."

I was so sad that I could not have imagined that her last name was so outstanding. I could just listen to me sing it and then repeat it all, and the tone and lyrics were exactly the same. This rough and heroic song was hummed out in a low voice in her female voice, but it was a different feeling.

After singing, Tao Yingying said to the goldfish raised in the Neijinshui River: "Ye'er, fish, is this song good??"

After a while, Tao Yingying said to Yu'er again: "You guys, am I very shameless? Before leaving, I invited him to my house." At this point, a hint of shyness flashed in Tao Yingying's tone.

I was stunned and tried to recall. Sure enough, I thought of clues. She suddenly told me that her father was Tao Qian, and that she told me where her home was. However, in the palace lantern's message, she asked me to find his father. In fact, it was probably because I asked me to find her. Khan. At that time, I left such a message to her, and I was suspicious, thinking that she was teasing me, but I didn't expect to give me a hint?

The girl's thoughts were indeed hard to guess. If it weren't for a coincidence, she could have heard her express her feelings in person here. I'm afraid she wouldn't have guessed that she was actually a secret message to me.

Eavesdropping on ** is indeed a very pleasant thing. Especially eavesdropping on the voice of a girl who has a good impression of me. That feeling is simply refreshing.

"Oh, I did the most embarrassing thing in my life. But I didn't wait until he came to my house. Yu'er, Yu'er, you guys, are I stupid?" Tao Yingying said with a wry smile.

"It's not stupid. It's very cute." I said in my heart, but I still refused to speak out and wanted to listen for a while. Anyway, there is no way to protect the ** in this era. Even if there is, I am the emperor, and anyone's ** will have no right to be called ** in front of me.

"There are even more stupid things." Tao Yingying suddenly chuckled softly, and acted coquettishly at Yu'er like a child: "I'll tell you the secret, don't laugh at me."

"Of course I won't laugh at you anymore. Tell me quickly, tell me quickly, I'm impatient to wait." I smiled in my heart.

"Then, since Yuanxiao, I have been waiting for him to come." Tao Yingying said quietly, "So, I asked around and asked about this person. However, my father discovered something and questioned it carefully. At that time, his father decided that the person was the emperor of the current dynasty."

"Hehe, this girl must be surprised." I thought to myself.

"Oh, I was surprised and disappointed at that time." Tao Yingying suddenly sighed, "Yu'er, Yu'er. Why did I feel so miserable that I fell in love with someone I shouldn't love. Although the emperor combines the power of the world and is a very amazing person. However, the emperor is also a person who cannot have true love. The three thousand beauties of the queen, who doesn't have to be outstanding? Why can Yingying make the emperor fall in love with him?"

I was in a state of distress. It turned out that she said that her life was miserable, which was what she meant. At this moment, I wanted to jump out immediately, hold her in my arms, and comfort her fragile heart.
