Chapter 67 Yongning

Chapter 67 Yongning
Just as Meng Youde thought, Jiang Li's test paper was indeed passed to the palace.

In the imperial study, a young man walked out. Eunuch Su in front of the door bowed and saw him out. Looking at his leaving figure, he sighed, "He was only in his early twenties, but he passed the imperial examination and climbed to such a position in just one year. It was really smooth sailing. The young are really to be feared."

This young man was none other than the current Zhongshu Shelang Shen Yurong. Emperor Hong Xiao was very fond of Shen Yurong and often discussed current affairs with him. Some even said that Emperor Hong Xiao wanted Shen Yurong to join the cabinet and train him as the future Prime Minister and successor to Jiang Yuanbai.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, but that doesn’t stop people from currying favor with you now.

As Shen Yurong walked through the Imperial Garden and out, she met someone on the corridor.

Princess Yongning was taking a nap at the stone table in the garden. When she saw him, she smiled charmingly and said, "Lord Shen."

It was summer, the shade of the trees in the Imperial Garden was dense, the breeze was cool, and a ray of gold sprinkled through the gaps between the leaves just illuminated half of her cheek. She was truly rich and bright, and her skin seemed like the finest mutton-fat jade, and I wanted to touch it.

Although he had raised eyebrows and an arrogant look, he acted in a gentle and considerate manner, and spoke in a polite and dignified manner.

Shen Yurong bowed and saluted: "Your Highness the Princess."

"What did you talk about when you came out from your brother's place just now?" Princess Yongning waved a thin gauze fan gently, her lips painted with bright red lip balm, plump and full, delicate and tempting.

Shen Yurong looked away and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the list of the school exam was released yesterday, and the top spot of the Imperial College and the top spot of Mingyi Hall went to two families. Please discuss this matter with me."

"Oh?" Princess Yongning looked at him in surprise, her tone was coquettish and charming, and she said, "I have heard about this too. I heard that the top of Mingyi Hall is the second daughter of the Jiang family. She was expelled from the Jiang family and stayed in a nunnery for eight years. She has only been back to Beijing for more than a month and has only been in Mingyi Hall for ten days. Yet she won the first place this time." She smiled brightly, "She is really a talented woman. I heard that she has a good handwriting. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. What do you think, Lord Shen?"

Shen Yurong was startled, and lowered her head and said, "I have never seen it either."

"Heh," Princess Yongning laughed again, "I originally thought that Lord Shen would definitely go to see such a thing, but I didn't expect that Lord Shen would not be interested. Maybe Lord Shen is used to seeing talented women and prefers beautiful women?" The last sentence was full of frivolous seduction.

Shen Yurong took a step back and said, "Princess, please be careful with your words."

"Look how scared you are." Princess Yongning's eyes flashed with displeasure, which then quickly disappeared. She said angrily, "My people are all guarding outside, and no one can hear me talking to you. I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me?"

Becoming more and more wanton.

Shen Yurong lowered her head slightly and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Just this slight nod made Princess Yongning smile. She even reached out to touch Shen Yurong's hand, and said with a smile: "I know that you also miss me, but I have too many trivial matters recently, so I can't come to you. Tomorrow, Mingyi Hall will inspect the lower three gates. Why don't you and I go to watch it, and after watching it..." The tail tone disappeared in the ambiguity.

Shen Yurong let her hold her hand, her expression softened a bit, and she said softly, "Princess..."

"I've said it before, when no one is around, you should call me Yongning." Princess Yongning looked at his handsome face with fascination. She fell in love with Shen Yurong from the first time she saw her. Such a young and handsome man, who knows politics and has done great things. When she saw him riding a tall horse through the streets, her heart was lost and could never be taken back.

It was a pity that the envoy had a wife, but it was not a big deal. She was a princess of the royal family, and his wife was just the daughter of a minor official. Even though she was talented and beautiful, she was as lowly as an ant. So she killed her.

Princess Yongning knew that Shen Yurong had Xue Fangfei in her heart. Xue Fangfei was born with a good appearance, was known as a talented woman, and had been married to Shen Yurong for many years. Shen Yurong still had some feelings for her, but Princess Yongning could not tolerate that there was anything in his heart that did not belong to her. As for Xue Fangfei, she wanted not only her life, but also her reputation and dignity. She wanted her to die with nothing, in the most embarrassing manner.

Who asked her to occupy something that didn't belong to her?
After all, I am the winner.

Shen Yurong did not stay in the Imperial Garden for long. After all, there were many eyes and ears in the palace. Although Princess Yongning's people were guarding, she was afraid of any accidents. Xue Fangfei had been dead for less than half a year. If it was rumored that she had an affair with Princess Yongning, she would not be able to stop the gossip.

Princess Yongning could only watch Shen Yurong's back reluctantly as she disappeared.

There was no one under the shade of the tree. Princess Yongning thought, every now and then, she went to the palace, ostensibly to talk to Concubine Liu, but in fact to see her lover. It was so difficult. Xue Fangfei was already dead, but she still couldn't spend every day with him. It was impossible to be open and aboveboard, and it was like having an affair with someone. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"It's hard to stay together..." She sighed deeply.

Suddenly, she remembered that she would be able to have a moment of happiness with Shen Yurong after the test tomorrow, and Princess Yongning's eyebrows were dyed with a layer of joy. Although she had never liked these talented women, it was only because it reminded her of Xue Fangfei.

Speaking of which, Xue Fangfei's handwriting was also unique in Yanjing at the time, but Xue Fangfei wrote in the small regular script with hairpin flowers, while Miss Jiang's handwriting looked like a man's.

Talented women emerge from generation to generation, but Xue Fangfei is dead after all.

……

In Fangfei Garden, Bai Xue watched Jiang Li practicing calligraphy. After pondering for a while, she said, "The girl's handwriting is really elegant."

"Grand" is the most elegant word Bai Xue can think of.

"Yes, yes," Mingyue, who was serving tea, came over and took a look, then said with a smile, "It's different from the other girls' handwriting."

Jiang Li smiled.

When she was Xue Fangfei, she spent the first half of her life in Tongxiang, and her handwriting was vigorous and vigorous, imitating Xue Zhao's boldness. In the second half of her life, she went to Yanjing, but she began to write in the small regular script of hairpin flowers.

Not for anything else, but because all the ladies in Yanjing City wrote like this, in order to avoid being unique and blend into the circle of nobles here more quickly, she gave up what she liked, including the habit of writing.

Even Shen Yurong probably thought she was good at hairpin calligraphy. But things are different now. Hairpin calligraphy is indeed beautiful, but as a woman, it is more difficult to walk in the world than men, because people are lenient to men and strict to women.

In this case, don't rely on heaven or earth, just rely on yourself. If you treat yourself as a man, you will naturally be able to bear the impermanence of reality.
