Guo Chong was a little disappointed. This poem was very simple. Although it suited the situation, it was far from what he wanted. Does the top scholar only have these four lines of poems?

"Lin Jue, gone? Just these four sentences?"

"To your Majesty, these are the four sentences." Lin Jue bowed and said.

"It's good, and the writing is vivid and appropriate to the situation, but... it's too simple. It seems you didn't do what I asked you to do." Guo Chong said, stroking his beard.

Lin Jue bowed and said: "I have done it. This poem seems to be a farewell to the old and usher in the new. In fact, it is written for the grand cause that your majesty is undertaking. Your majesty is ordering the Ordinance Department to work hard to reform the old and usher in the new. This is like

A thunder resounded throughout the earth, and the old laws were removed and replaced with new laws. In the new year, not only thousands of households will have a new look, but the government will also have a new look because of the reform. This is the meaning of 'New peach for old charm'. It seems to be

Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new, what I wrote is about reform, reforming the old and bringing in the new, and the new atmosphere of the Great Week and New Year."

"Ah, that's it." Everyone made a sound of sudden realization.

Guo Chong also had a look of astonishment on his face, silently recited these four sentences several times, and laughed loudly: "It's true, I didn't appreciate it. Hahaha, good poem, good poem, it does have this meaning. I

I wrongly blamed you, it seems I should study more, isn’t this a joke?”

Guo Mian said with a smile: "Father, it's not that my father is not well-educated, it's just that Lin Jue's poem is too obscure. These four sentences are all realistic and have no emotions. How should I interpret them? He didn't say it, he didn't

People understand. Even if the saint is alive, he will not be able to relate to it."

Lin Jue also smiled and said: "What the eldest prince said is indeed too realistic. This is my fault. If I could add four more sentences to express an extended meaning, it would not be like this."

Guo Chong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't add it, don't add it. These four sentences are just right. If you add them, it would be bad. Now I know the meaning, and I like this poem more and more. I'll get it in a few days."

Show this poem to Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru, they will also like it. Lin Jue, you really did not disappoint. I will reward you with a glass of wine and drink with me."

The chamberlain brought down a glass of wine. Lin Jue quickly took it and drank it with Guo Chong. Guo Chong put down the wine cup and said, "Let Lin Jue's seat be transferred to the chief executive. How can we talk so far away? Can we arrange seats next time?"

After all the arrangements, this is the number one scholar."

…

In another courtyard on the west side, another New Year's banquet is also going on lively. However, here are the royal family members, concubines, princesses, princesses, princesses, and some family members brought into the palace by the royal relatives.

.

Presiding over the banquet were two noble concubines. One was the highly favored Concubine Mei. She was the biological mother of the second prince Huai Wang Guo Xu and the daughter of the current prime minister Lu Zhongtian. The other was Concubine Rong, who was also Guo Chong's favorite.

One of the concubines. It can be said that to a certain extent, Concubine Rong's status in Guo Chong's mind is even higher than that of Concubine Mei. Because Concubine Rong is the niece of the old Queen Mother Wei. At a certain time

, Concubine Rong even has the momentum to replace Queen Yuan.

However, things in the world often seem to have a certain destiny. Empress Yuan gave birth to the eldest prince, who was virtuous and courteous, and was respected by all officials. Even though she was of ordinary origin and was just the daughter of an official, after Guo Chong ascended the throne, she was

All officials recommended her as the queen. Lu Zhongtian's daughter Lu Mei was the side princess. She had merit in giving birth to the second prince Guo Mian and was named Mei Guifei. The side princess Rong Fei also gave birth to a son. It is said that she once had the opportunity to replace the queen.

, that is based on what Concubine Rong’s son said when he was still alive. If the third prince born to Concubine Rong could live to the day when Guo Chong ascended the throne, then the position of queen would probably have to be Wei Yourong. It is a pity that the third prince Guo Hao died at a young age.

This completely eliminated her possibility of becoming a queen. Even with the support of the Queen Mother, one unchanging iron rule in the harem is that the mother is more valuable than the son. Those who have not given birth to a prince have to stand back to give birth to children for the emperor.

That is equivalent to the contribution of the soldiers on the battlefield to siege the city and kill the enemy. The battlefield of the harem is often the battlefield of the womb.

Of course, the Emperor was filial to the Queen Mother, and naturally he would not be too indifferent to the Queen Mother's niece, Concubine Rong. Even though she had no children, she was still named a concubine after she ascended the throne. She was still one of the two concubines second only to the Queen. In the harem,

Still in a prominent position.

At this moment, Concubine Mei and Concubine Rong were sitting on the soft couch at the top, one on the left and the other on the right. There were various fruits, wines and dishes on the table in front of them. The two were similar in age and both looked pretty. Concubine Mei

She is the kind of woman with a graceful figure, graceful appearance and soft voice. In fact, many men like this kind of woman. What men like is this kind of charming woman, which can arouse their male desire and possessiveness. Concubine Rong is different.

, she has a dignified appearance and a serious smile, which gives people a feeling of being repelled thousands of miles away. Perhaps because she is the niece of the Queen Mother, she has been of high status since she was a child, so she naturally develops a bossy temperament. Or maybe she is in a bad situation at the moment and is in a bad mood.

OK, so there is no smile on the face.

Like Lin Jue, Lu Wu's seat was in a far corner. She didn't complain at all. She would rather sit in this corner where it didn't attract attention. Even so, she kept her head down the whole time, not daring to raise her head in any unnecessary way.

She was afraid of doing the wrong thing or saying the wrong thing. After all, she was just a maid, and she was suddenly put into such a big scene with many rules. It was good not to collapse.

What Lu Wu was thinking about was to get through the banquet quickly and follow the young master out of the palace.

However, how can you sit there peacefully at such a banquet? When the two noble concubines entered, the green dance almost went wrong when they bowed. The etiquette in the palace is different from the etiquette outside. Women in the palace have to do it

The ceremony of kneeling down on one knee. When Lu Wu was lying on the ground and kowtowing, several women around him secretly laughed. A female official came up and said a few words to Lu Wu. The palace people knew the identities of these people.

Yes, Lu Wu is the concubine of Jun Ma Lin Jue. He just came to gather the number of people. The Jun Ma Ye is not an important relative of the emperor. These palace people are all aware of it. So they dare to rebuke Lu Wu.

.

Lu Wu was not a carefree person. If she did something wrong, it would be fine if someone said a few words to her. But this way, her psychological pressure would be even greater.

However, what is supposed to come will always come. When it came time for the female relatives to come forward to toast the two noble concubines, Lu Wu kept beating the drum in her heart. Groups of people came forward, batches came down, and it was their turn before they saw it.

It was her turn, and Lu Wu's heart was beating fiercely. Finally, the two palace officials ordered a few female family members in the first rank to come forward, and Lu Wu was among them. She held the wine glass and followed the few women forward with trepidation.

, before the two concubines, they knelt down to salute and toast. When everything was almost over, Lu Wu stepped on her skirt because she was too nervous when she stood up. She suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell down with a scream.

On the wine table in front of Concubine Rong.

At this moment, the drinks and dishes all over the table flew up and clattered all over the floor. That's all, the drinks and vegetable soup flew up, and Concubine Rong's luxurious robe was damaged. Even Concubine Mei, who was looking sideways, had a scratch on her face.
