Ugly girl turns over, mercenary mad concubine

To Song Yunxi's surprise, what she was worried about did not happen, and the Wenyuan meeting was even more lively than the day it started.And there are still many people waiting at the door, hoping to see acquaintances take them in together.Presumably, if only people with invitation cards can enter the Furong Garden, I am afraid that the Furong Garden will be overcrowded.

As for the reason for this, Song Yunxi quickly heard it from chatting literati and wives.

After being seated, Qin Yurou specially explained this.

Dayong Kingdom once every three years in autumn, and usually two or three months before the autumn, talented scholars and literati from all over the world will come in advance.Therefore, the Wenyuan Pavilion supervised by Prince Rui followed the emperor's will and held the Wenyuan Meeting in front of the Qiu Wei to observe the knowledge and morals of various talents.In order to balance the power of the crown prince and Prince Rui, the emperor ordered the prince to hold a golden autumn banquet every year in the golden autumn season.Order the prince to host a banquet for the excellent candidates and some literati bachelors of the Wenyuan Zhihui to encourage them.

There is nothing unusual about the golden autumn banquet in previous years, after all, the prince's status in the hearts of literati is not high.But this year, there are rumors that the emperor will appear at the Golden Autumn Banquet, and will enjoy the chrysanthemum with the three people who performed well at the banquet.

The candidate who was praised by the emperor went to appreciate the chrysanthemum with the emperor, which meant that he would show his face in front of the emperor in advance, and he would also be famous in the imperial capital. In the next exam, he could get a Jinshi at the worst, and his future was bright.

This Wenyuan meeting is different from the previous rules, there is no evaluation of the best, but the top three.Those who won the top three in the art competition and the charm award are already the default candidates to participate in the banquet, and the rest will depend on the prince's post.

That being the case, how can these literati come to Furong Garden without rushing, even if they don't get the top three in the art competition, it is good to show their faces in front of the prince and leave a good impression.

Those who have such thoughts are not only those candidates, but other bachelors and daughters are also looking forward to it.To be able to enjoy the chrysanthemum alone with the emperor would be famous in the imperial capital, and his worth and status would naturally increase.

Crowds flocked to fill the waterside pavilions in the Furong Garden, and the competition stage and spectator seats expanded again and again.

Such a grand scene has already established Qin Zetian's victory in the battle between Qin Zetian and Qin Zeyuan, and it will be difficult for Qin Zeyuan to turn around.

Qin Zeyuan slammed the study chair into pieces, and said with a distorted expression, "Okay, Wei Zheng, this is the good plan you suggested to me. What did you say to draw fire from the bottom of the pot, but he just poured fuel on the fire and burned it?" You have no bones left!"

Qin Zeyuan has been in the upper hand for too long, and he hasn't been so deflated for a long time, especially when he lost to Qin Zetian!Seeing his advantage in the literati world being eroded little by little, but he was powerless to resist, he felt unspeakable hatred in his heart.

"No, I can't watch the situation I've arranged be ruined! Wei Zheng, tell me, is there anything else you can do?" Qin Zeyuan finally regained some sanity after venting.

Wei Zheng was so frightened that he hurriedly said respectfully: "My lord, my lord," he swallowed hard before regaining his composure. "My lord, my subordinates think that there is no need to continue to fight this matter. The lord has run Wenyuan Pavilion for so many years, and the situation cannot be reversed by the prince. Besides, the literati and princes alone cannot win. As long as they have the most important military power, No matter how good his reputation is, it will not constitute a serious problem for his confidant!"

After hearing this, Qin Zeyuan turned off his anger, but he was still a little bit unwilling. "What if I have to let him have a hard time?"

Wei Zheng heard that the prince no longer has the will to win, and his thinking became active. "If the prince wants to cause some trouble for the prince, he can ask the emperor and the prince to hold a golden autumn banquet together, or try to get more posts. This will add trouble to him."

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Qin Zeyuan was satisfied.He really didn't want the crown prince to win too comfortably, adding a thorn was a must.

At the same time, Song Yunxi was also discussing the victory with Qin Zetian and Qin Yurou.

"Presumably at this moment, Prince Rui is already fuming with anger." Qin Yurou laughed triumphantly.

Song Yunxi was also happy, but she was still a little worried, "He has been in a dominant position in this area for many years, and he must be very angry after being hit so hard now. But, Your Royal Highness, have you made the situation a little bigger? If If you overstimulate him, aren't you afraid that he will jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"That's not going to happen. I'm just playing around here in the literati world, and I can't touch his fundamentals. However, I'm sure I won't be happy. I think it will cause trouble for me in the future, so that I won't be so comfortable in winning." Qin Zetian calmed down. the way.

"It seems that you and Prince Rui really understand each other well enough, and they can calculate every step so accurately."

In this confrontation, Song Yunxi's partner Qin Zetian won a complete victory, which is worthy of congratulations.However, Song Yunxi felt a little dissatisfied in her heart, her news was really too ill-informed.Whether it is the rumors released by Qin Zeyuan or the news released by Qin Zetian, she is the slowest to receive.It seems that I have to build my own news network, otherwise I really can't keep up with their rhythm!

The Wenyuan meeting lasted eight days, and finally came to a perfect conclusion, and then it was time to wait for the invitation to the golden autumn banquet.

Because the Golden Autumn Banquet is a banquet held by the royal family, and it is also an encouragement to candidates who are more likely to pass the exam in advance, so the requirements for the banquet guests have always been strict.

Except for some gold posts issued to important officials of the imperial court, one family member can go there, and only one person is allowed to participate in the banquet in all other posts.The place where the banquet is held is Yiyuan, the Royal Courtyard.Yiyuan is not bigger than Furongyuan, but it is superior in its exquisiteness and elegant environment. It is very appropriate to hold the Golden Autumn Banquet here.

While Qin Zetian was busy preparing the banquet and screening the guests, Song Yunxi started to work on his own.

Qin Zetian faithfully gave her a copy of inner strength training method and taught her how to practice it, so she took more time to practice inner strength every night and was busy preparing to build her own news network during the day.

It is impossible to build a news network quickly. It needs to be laid out bit by bit, and reliable candidates must be selected.

Lu Hua is a tight-lipped and quite loyal person. Although she is not clever enough, after her training, she must pass on news, and it should be no problem to help manage the government's news network once in a while.

The power of the imperial capital has been operating for many years, and it must have been divided up. Song Yunxi has no one and no money, so it is very difficult to snatch the remaining cakes from it.But she is a modern person after all, with more than 5000 years of knowledge, as long as she manages well, she is not afraid of failure.

There are many sources of information, such as the hidden threads buried everywhere, which are the most secretive.Song Yunxi can't do it for a while, so he can only start from the most basic.

Teahouses, restaurants, brothels, and all public places are important sources of news.The words of those who come to the company can also be greatly harvested through integration and analysis.

The forces in the imperial capital are intertwined, for example, Yipin Pavilion belongs to Qin Zeyuan, and Biyunxuan belongs to Qin Zetian.With such a powerful territory, Song Yunxi couldn't get his hands in it for a while.I can only open a shop by myself, slowly find out the situation in the imperial capital, and wait for the manpower to be trained, and then it will not be too late to deploy manpower everywhere.

To get news, there must be no fewer customers. What kind of store can attract more customers?

The existing fixed models of teahouses, restaurants, and brothels are definitely not good. The fixed source of customers has been divided up, so we can only create new ideas and introduce new ideas.

Unable to think of any good ideas for a while, Song Yunxi put this aside for the time being.Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early before the Golden Autumn Banquet, I planned to search for talents first, and then look at the place.

It happened that the tenth princess, Qin Yurou, came to play with Song Yunxi. Seeing that she was bored in the palace all day, Song Yunxi took her out for a stroll.

Women's talent for shopping is very strong no matter where they are. Song Yunxi originally had the idea of ​​playing with the ten princesses, but when he actually went shopping, he completely devoted himself to it.

The business in the imperial capital of the Great Yong Kingdom is relatively prosperous. There are four main streets in the main street. Jewelry, cloth clothing, and snacks that are more suitable for women shopping occupy more than half of the shops, which is comparable to the modern bustling city.

Concerned about the identity of the tenth princess, Song Yunxi accompanied Qin Yurou to visit relatively high-end jewelry and cloth clothing stores, and she was extremely excited after walking around.However, it is just too monotonous, and there is no sense of carefree shopping in the modern pedestrian street.

Tell people to take the things you bought that are convenient and easy to take, and ask people to send the rest to the Xiangfu, and ask the people in the Xiangfu to pay the bill by the way.

"Huh, Sister Yunxi, I haven't had such a good time shopping in a long time." The two chose a clean teahouse to sit down, and Qin Yurou said excitedly.

Because they were just resting their feet, the two of them did not enter the private room and sat in a remote corner of the lobby.Qin Yurou was quite excited, and her voice was quite loud in a relatively quiet teahouse.

This is nothing at all, but some people don't know each other.

"Hmph, I don't know who it is, so it's the tenth sister. What a blah, it's out of place!"

The voice was sharp and abrupt, Song Yunxi followed the voice, but it was a young lady who came down from upstairs.The noble lady was dressed noble, her imposing manner was astonishing, obviously she was from a noble background, and from the tone of her voice, Song Yunxi could guess who it was.

There are two distinguished women beside the current emperor, one is the empress, and the other is Prince Rui's mother Yan Guifei.The Yan family is very powerful, so the children of Concubine Yan's line are also top-notch, and they are in a dilemma with the empress's sons and daughters.

To be able to call the tenth princess the tenth younger sister, and aggressively teach her a lesson, there is no one else except Qin Yuhe, the eldest princess born to Concubine Yan Gui.

Qin Yurou was naturally very displeased to be said for no reason, especially the eldest princess Qin Yuhe who made things difficult for her everywhere. "Eldest sister, you are married and have a noble status. I really need you to worry about your sister's affairs. However, I heard that something has happened in your house recently. Don't you want to take care of it?"

Hearing this, Song Yunxi almost laughed.

Usually seeing Qin Yurou laughing and innocent, she was worried that she would not be able to handle it, but she did not expect that the production of the palace is the production of the palace after all!
