I Am This Type of Woman

"Every time the imperial examination is held, the people in this teahouse are the most good at wooing business and flattering. There are all kinds of gossip, and it is the best place to watch the excitement." Banhua said to the people in the carriage, "In the past, whenever there was an imperial examination, Brother Heng and I loved coming here "
Rong Xia stepped out of the carriage and took a look at the tea house. It wasn't a very high-end place, but it was very lively with people coming and going.
"Come on," Banhua took his hand and walked through the door, "here you can hear things you couldn't hear in the court hall."
Walking into the teahouse, Rong Xia found that there were many people dressed as scholars inside, with many people's accents Unlike the locals in the capital, they get together in twos and threes, talking about the customs of various places, or listening to the locals tell some interesting stories about the capital.
When the waiter saw Banhua, he greeted him with a smile: "Miss Yin, you have finally arrived. You asked the little one to reserve a seat for you early in the morning, but no one touched the little one. Please sit down." "Well done.
" Good." Ban Hua threw a silver peanut to the waiter, and the waiter smiled happily and led them to two empty tables.
"Is it still the old rule?" The waiter was rewarded with high spirits, looking at Ban Hua like a moving purse. Banhua said: "I still follow
the old rules. This son brings his own tea, and the other guards are also the old rules."
"This young man is very good. A few days ago, Mr. Yin said that you were married. Could it be this gentleman?"
"It's him." Ban Hua smiled.
"Miss and this gentleman are really a perfect match. The younger one can't speak beautiful words, so I think the two of you standing together are the most beautiful, and no one else in the world can compare." The waiter's mouth was extremely sweet, and the words were pleasant. As if you don't need money, just open your mouth and come.
"That's a good point." The corners of Rong Xia's lips raised slightly, signaling Du Jiu to reward her.
The waiter didn't expect that he would get two golden beans just by saying a few nice words. After thanking him in a hurry, he went to the back to prepare tea and fruits.
Rong Xia and Ban Hua came out this time, although they deliberately dressed more ordinary, but because of their outstanding looks, they were noticed by some people as soon as they entered the door. Now seeing the two of them casually rewarding the waiter with gold and silver, one knows that the two of them must have come from wealthy families, and they came here just to join in the fun.
Most people dare not cause trouble, and seeing that the waiter looks familiar to the couple, they dare not look at them again, for fear of offending the other party.
When scholars get together, most of the discussion is about poetry and economics. Ban Hua didn't know much about these, so he whispered into Rong Xia's ear, "Is there a good masterpiece?" Rong Xia shook her head lightly with a smile, and said to
Ban Hua, "I I prefer to listen to the haunted stories told by the table next to me."
"It's just people pretending to be ghosts," Banhua whispered in his ear, "In this kind of folklore, monsters must be beautiful, and scholars must be kind. Ghosts are half good and half bad, nothing new."
"Looks like Huahua has heard a lot." Rong Xia took a sip of tea, but didn't want to take a second sip. Although the tea leaves and tea sets are brought with you, the water is prepared in the teahouse. This water presumably is ordinary well water, and the tea brewed is a bit less flavorful.
"If you want to say that our Zhizhou in Xizhou is also a great person. Although he has a disease in his eyes, he manages Xizhou in an orderly manner. He has won the support of many people within a few days after he arrived at our place," said a man in blue. The student in Xizhou said gratefully, "We have two sons from poor families in Xizhou. Seeing that they are filial and talented, the Zhizhou sent them to the capital to take the exam at their own expense. It is our Xizhou who have such parents. Fortunately for the people of the state."
Xizhou is a famous place of bitter cold, and there are not many applicants who come to take the exam. Now that there are candidates coming from Xizhou, everyone is a little curious.
"Being able to be an official in the court with eye disease must be because His Majesty valued his talent, so he has this special case," a local candidate in the capital asked, "I don't know who is the Zhizhou in your place?" "It's a coincidence
, Our Zhizhou is also from the capital, surnamed Xie, first name Lin, and styled Qilin." The
teahouse fell silent for a moment, and the candidate from Xizhou looked at the crowd inexplicably: "I don't know... Is there something wrong with Xiaosheng?" "
No, It's okay." The candidate in the capital city laughed dryly, but dared not ask any more questions.
No one in the capital didn't know the grievances between Xie Qilin and the empress of the dynasty in the past. They didn't expect that His Majesty would be so magnanimous and willing to let Xie Qilin enter the court as an official. Such a magnanimity is worthy of His Majesty.
There are quite a few literati who admire Rong Xia, and when they brag about Rong Xia, they always brag as much as they can. Now the matter of Xie Qilin can make them boast again.
Banhua wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed dryly, and said, "You really asked Xie Qilin to take office in Xizhou?" Rong Xia turned her head to look into Banhua
's eyes: "What's wrong?"
I don't know if it's right or not," Ban Hua blew on the tea foam and took a sip of tea, "I brought you out to relax your mind, not to make you think about another man." Rong Xia laughed, and
he Another man on your mind?
What is the rationale for this?
The two sat in the tea house for another half an hour, and Ban Hua glanced at the sky, "There is a Zhuangyuan Building next to it, where literati and scholars love to connect poems, are you interested in going to see it?" Rong Xia shook his head
. Shaking his head: "Forget it, why don't we accompany you to the house of your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"That's also good," Ban Hua immediately agreed, "Let's go." In
Jingting Mansion, Ban Huai and Ban Heng looked at the man who was full of headaches. A basket of poems, calligraphy and paintings, and I don't know what these candidates think. They only know that their family is prominent, but they don't know that their family is illiterate. These poems, calligraphy and paintings are cast in their family, and they can't see good or bad.
"These students are not stupid. They didn't send these here for you to read." Yin opened a letter casually, and there was a poem written in it. They are hoping that if your Majesty comes to our house, they can see their works."
"Your Majesty..." Ban Heng said, "Even if your Majesty comes to our house, you won't have time to look at these things."
He recruited a servant and asked them Lift these things down.
"Master, Madam, Miss and Uncle are here." The butler was excited and his lips were still trembling when he spoke, "Get ready, they have already entered the second door."
"Huahua is back?" Ban Huai rubbed his hands together, "Get ready for lunch."
After seeing the Ban family, Rong Xia and Ban Hua were warmly received by the Ban family. Mentioned the students sending poems.
"Don't worry about these," Rong Xia said, "I used to receive poems, calligraphy and paintings often, but there are not many truly talented ones. If someone sends them in the future, my father-in-law can just refuse." "Okay," Ban Huai said
. Agreed, "I'm the most impatient to see these things."
"I haven't seen candidates send poems to our house before," Ban Hua rolled his eyes. Can you become capable of poetry and painting?"
Rong Xia laughed when she heard the words, and reached out to tap on her brow: "You, you." "
Master, madam, someone from Xizhou sent something over, saying that it was returned to its original state." Lord." The butler came in with a box in his hand, and after he saluted Rong Xia and Ban Hua, he presented the box with both hands, "Master, please have a look." "
Xizhou?" Ban Huai frowned and turned to look at Yin. Mrs. Yin, "Ma'am, is there anyone we know in Xizhou?"
Mrs. Yin pondered for a while, then slowly shook her head and said, "No."
Ban Heng took the wooden box, opened the lid and took a look. Apart from Huang's collection of poems, there is nothing.
"What the hell is this?" Ban Heng felt a headache when he saw the collection of poems. "Are these people making appointments today?" "
What's in the box?" Seeing her son's pained expression, Yin asked with a smile. What expression?"
"A collection of poems," Ban Heng took out the collection of poems from the box, and handed them to Yin with both hands, "Mother, please read it."
Yin took over the collection of poems, flipped through two pages, and raised his eyebrows lightly: " This collection of poems is indeed our family's thing. But it disappeared a few years ago, I thought it was damaged by you two brothers and sisters, so I never asked, so it was borrowed by someone?" Rong Xia sitting next to
him Suddenly she said: "Mother-in-law, may I have a look?"
Yin was slightly taken aback, and handed the collection of poems to Rong Xia: "Your Majesty, please feel free."
Rong Xia opened the collection of poems, and there were annotations on this collection of poems. Judging from the handwriting, it should be the words left over in recent years. When he put the collection of poems together, an inscription slipped out of it.
He bent down to pick up the inscription that fell on the ground, on which there were only a few lines of poems that the world would use very vulgarly long ago.
Since it is late to go to school in Xunchun, there is no need to feel melancholy and resent Fang. The strong wind blows away all the crimson, and the green leaves turn into shadows and cover the branches.
"What's written on it?" Ban Hua put her head on his chest, "Green leaves... full of branches, is there anything special about this poem?" Rong Xia looked down at the
woman who was leaning against her, her eyes confused and confused Clear, did not understand the meaning of this poem.
"It's nothing, probably the readers thought the poem was good, so they copied it again." Rong Xia put the inscription back into the poetry collection, and put it on the table, "Huahua, it's getting late, we should go back."
"Okay." Ban Hua nodded, got up and said goodbye to her natal family. When she went out, she didn't even look at the poetry collection on the table, obviously not interested in such literary stuff.
The three members of the Ban family sent the husband and wife outside the gate of the Ban family. After the two left, they returned to the inner courtyard again.
Yin picked up the book of poems that had been forgotten on the table, took out the inscription in the book, put it on the lantern and lit it. "Mother?" Ban Heng looked at Yin in puzzlement, "Why did
you burn it? "
He stroked the hair on his sideburns, and handed him the collection of poems, "Put it back in the library." "
Yes." Ban Heng took the book into the library, found an empty space in the corner, and stuffed it in.
The dead of night.
"Huahua." Rong Xia embraced Banhua, gently stroking her soft and smooth back, "Are you the little girl who pestered me to play ice?" "Huh?
" Hua arched into his arms, and said casually, "I don't remember."
Rong Xia smiled, and kissed her on the forehead, "It's okay, as long as I remember."
The originally vague memory became clear again on the day when Huahua took him to play ice. The little girl with the double bun had big eyes and curved eyebrows, and she looked exactly like Huahua when she smiled.
Looking back now, besides Huahua, who could be so reckless in the palace, and a little girl of the same age?
It's a pity, if he had noticed Huahua early at that time, how good it would be?
The person in his arms had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Rong Xia didn't feel sleepy at all. He wanted to ask Huahua if the collection of poems returned to Zhao from Xizhou was the one that Huahua gave to Xie Qilin. But he couldn't ask, he didn't want Huahua to know this kind of daughter-like thoughts.
He wanted Huahua to think that he was an omnipotent, powerful, and gentle man who could tolerate him, not a stingy man who cared about every little thing and had no measure.
"Huahua, do you love me?" He whispered in her ear.
But the sleeping man could not answer him.
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence."
Rong Xia wrapped her arms around the person in her arms and fell into a deep sleep.
March is full of fragrance, and April ushers in the spring that the entire Ying Dynasty literati are looking forward to.
After Chunwei, it is the palace examination. On the day of the palace examination, Rong Xia woke up early. This was his first imperial examination after he took the throne, and he must always be present when the examinees were answering the questions.
Ban Hua was worried that he would be bored staying alone in the palace, so he asked the palace servant to prepare a refreshing pouch for him to wear.
When the sun rose, Ban Hua, who was still in the harem, heard the bell ringing, which was the sound of the opening of the imperial examination.
She leaned against the head of the bed, looked at the sunlight coming in from the window, and suddenly said, "Come here, I will help you to make up for me." The other palace in the suburbs.
This other palace is named Jinxue Palace. It is said that an emperor of the Jiang family built it for his mother. Now the Empress Dowager Fuping and Princess Anle live in it.
The Empress Dowager Fuping was very surprised when she heard the servants say that the queen is coming, "How could she come?"
"Queen, I don't know," the court lady shook her head honestly, "The Empress said that she didn't intend to disturb you, but just wanted to talk to Her Royal Highness." After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Fuping didn't feel relieved, but became even more
disturbed . Although Huahua often sent people to bring things over, she never came in person. Now that she came suddenly and saw An Le alone, how could this make her feel at ease?
"I see." Since Huahua didn't want to see her, she just pretended not to know about it.
Now living under the fence, people with sense of taste are always more pleasing.
In the main hall of Jinxue Palace, An Le stepped into the gate and saluted Ban Hua who was sitting at the head.
Banhua looked at her quietly, and did not excuse her. An Le looked up at Banhua in surprise, and met Banhua's big black and white eyes. For some reason, she felt a little guilty for no reason, and turned her head to avoid Banhua's eyes.
"Sister, get up," Ban Hua sighed, and after An Le got up, she lowered her eyelids and said, "Sister, do you have something to say to me?" An Le was silent for a moment: "
Hua Hua, what's wrong with you?"
Ban Hua stood up, "I Helping Rong Xia win the Jiang family, you should hate me, I don't blame you."
An Le's expression moved slightly, she turned her head to look at the vase in the corner, "I don't understand what you mean." "It's
good to understand, It's okay if you don't understand," Ban Hua stood up, "Since my sister has nothing to say, I won't bother you in the future. Please rest assured, Your Highness, as long as I am here, no one will come to make things difficult for you." An Le's expression became even
uglier , When she saw Ban Hua walking out the door, she couldn't help calling Ban Hua to stop: "Hua Hua!"
Ban Hua looked back at her, but she was speechless with her mouth open.
"My sister probably doesn't know that although Xie Qilin and I have been engaged for two years, I only gave him a collection of poems once, and that collection of poems was not in his hands at all," Banhua smiled, with a cold tone, "He I admire Shi Feixian, so I gave her the collection of poems."
How could a collection of poems that had already been sent out be sent back from such a remote place in Xizhou? No matter what entanglement Xie Qilin had with her in the past, how can there be any contact with her now, unless Xie Qilin wants to kill his family and goes crazy.
An Le's eyelids trembled slightly, and she turned her head away: "What are you telling me?" "
Your Highness, just pretend that I've lost my temper in idleness, and I'll tell you a few gossips," Ban Hua chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his laugh , "I just said this, you just listen to it. Anyway, after today, I will never come here to disturb Your Highness again." Princess An Le's
complexion turned pale, and there were faint tears in her eyes, but she forcibly endured it and went back. .
Ban Hua turned around and left. When she reached the door, she didn't turn her head and said, "That day, when you said those words to Rong Xia, I was behind the screen." An Le turned her head abruptly, seeing that Ban Hua had already walked
out The door, chasing to the door and crying: "Huahua!"
Banhua stopped in his tracks without turning his head.
"I, I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted to make Rong Xia unhappy, so... just..." "
You just think that I will forgive you no matter what, so there is no track," Ban Hua looked up. In the sky, the sun made her eyes sore, "We have been friends for more than ten years, we are sisters, and we have come to this point today, I can't blame you." Hearing this, An Le's face showed a bit of joy, "Hua Hua
, Don't you blame me?"
Ban Hua shook her head slowly, then turned to look at An Le, "Your Highness, I'm sorry. When you tricked someone to send you a collection of poems today, our friendship came to an end." An Le's
face The joy on the table disappeared immediately, she stared at Banhua blankly, and said after a while: "Are you going to get into trouble with me to this point because of a man? What good things do men in the world have that are worth your heart and soul, even ours?" Regardless of friendship?"
"Your Highness, the reason why I helped Rong Xia rebel was not for him, but for myself," Banhua said indifferently, "I know you don't believe in feelings, and even more despise a man's sincerity. But the world There are so many men, is everyone a heartbreaker?"
An Le opened her eyes wide. She couldn't believe that Ban Hua would talk to her like that.
"I understand what your highness is thinking, but with a strong heart, how can I be willing to let a man who is good for me wholeheartedly be sad." "So
you came today because you want me not to count my flaws?" An Le wiped away her tears, With a sneering smile, "Do you think that Rong Xia really has deep affection for you? Have you ever thought that he might be doing it for the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies in your hand and to gain the support of the army? Haven't you ever thought about it?
" After being hurt once, she no longer trusts all the men in the world. Even if she has a bunch of beautiful faces, she just wants to play with them.
Banhua shook his head calmly, and looked at Princess Anle with pity: "The Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies has never been in my hand." " What did you say?" Princess Anle
turned pale, "It's impossible!"
In the end, it was not in Banhua's hands, so where did Rong Xia get the tiger charm? Without the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies, how could Rong Xia have allowed Ban Hua to bring so many soldiers, and even bring his own guards into the palace?
This, this is impossible!
"If you have to find a reason, maybe he treats me so well not because of the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies, but because of my beauty." Ban Hua touched his cheek, "When I am old and pale, he will treat me coldly Maybe some."
Princess An Le shook her head in a daze, then cried and laughed, which was a sign of being stimulated.
"Your Highness," the smile on Banhua's face disappeared, "This is the last time I warn you, don't count on my man again. I have a bad temper and protect my shortcomings. You understand what the consequences will be, Your Highness. Right?"
Princess An Le didn't speak.
Banhua held Ruyi's hand, turned around and left.
"Your Majesty, get up and drive back to the palace."
An Le looked at Feng Jia who was going away, swayed his body, and sat on the ground.
This sisterhood was eventually ruined by her.
But Huahua, since you said that Rong Xia has a deep affection for you, do you also treat him the same way?

After the palace examination was over, Rong Xia returned to the apse and found that Banhua was not there, "Where is your majesty ?" Then come back."
Rong Xia glanced at the maid, "Is that so?"
"Of course," the maid stood bowed, "However, His Majesty probably won't be able to wait for your empress."
A silver light flashed in her hand, and in her sleeve was Hiding a dagger, she moved so fast that Wang De, who was closest to Rong Xia, didn't even react.
Rong Xia turned around to dodge, the maid's dagger only hurt his arm, and seeing that he missed the hit, the maid made another sharp backhand and pierced Rong Xia's throat, but Wang De, who had reacted, bumped into him, and the dagger only hit him. According to Rong Xia's shoulders.
Missing two hits, the court lady had no chance to do anything again, because the secret guards arrived and kicked her into a corner with one kick.
"Call the imperial physician!" Seeing the blood on Rong Xia's body, Wang De's face turned pale with fright, and he covered Rong Xia's wound with a clean handkerchief, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" "What are you panicking about
? "Rong Xia was in pain, and looked at the
court lady lying on the ground expressionlessly, "Take care of her and find out who sent her." Yes," the maid said with a sneer, "what's the use of sitting on the throne, even the woman next to you wants you to die immediately."
After saying this, the female officer suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face limp and blue fell to the ground.
When the guards standing on the hall heard this, their faces were as pale as paper. The queen wants to assassinate her majesty? They have heard this secret story in the palace, and they are afraid that they will only die today.
Rong Xia lost too much blood at this time and was already dizzy. He glanced at the imperial guards standing in the hall, and forced himself to calm down: "Du Jiu, take care of these people. You can't spread a single word of this maid's words." "
"Yes." Du Jiu gestured, and soon someone came up and took the imperial guards down.
"Before I wake up, the front and back palaces are all under the orders of the queen," Rong Xia glanced at the crowd indifferently, "If anyone disrespects the queen, Du Jiu, just cut off his head." "Yes."
Du At nine o'clock, several big acupoints on Rong Xia's body, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are ministers waiting here, and no one can touch the empress." Rong Xia said softly, "I don't worry if you do things." Afterwards, darkness surrounded
him
. .
"Lord Du, what should we do?" Seeing that Rong Xia was covered in blood, Wang De's mind was in a mess.
"Your Majesty has an order. The Queen's Empress is in charge of the front and rear palaces. Now, of course, the Queen's Empress is invited to come back first." Du Jiu said with a sullen face, "Come on, please quickly invite the Empress to return to the palace." Ban Hua was drinking while Feng was driving
. Ruyi made her tea, and suddenly her heart felt cold for no reason, and she sat up straight.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Ruyi asked worriedly.
"It's okay..."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty was assassinated, Mr. Du, please return to the palace as soon as possible!"
Bang Dang!
The teacup in Ban Hua's hand fell at the sound, and she held on to the wall of the car, but couldn't breathe for a long time.
The author has something to say:
Since it is late to go to school in search of spring, there is no need to be melancholy and resentful. The strong wind blows away all the crimson, and the green leaves turn into shadows and cover the branches. [This article is borrowed, not original, the original work "Sighing Flowers" by Du Mu. 】
