Chapter 144 Just to make Qin Chuan smile!
Mo Ruxue knew very well that Qin Chuan had no idea that the second wife he was thinking about was Empress Dowager Chunyuan.
She had a premonition.
If Qin Chuan knew that the second wife he had been thinking about was Empress Dowager Chunyuan.
It will cause a major change in the power structure of the entire Qian Kingdom.
Under that situation, it would be difficult for her to take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, she had to stop Qin Chuan from seeing Queen Dowager Chun Yuan at all costs.
"Zhiyan, mother still hopes that you will not meet Qin Chuan for the time being. Qin Chuan himself is a flamboyant person. If he finds you stunningly beautiful and does something out of the ordinary, I'm afraid you will be in a dilemma.
If you don't deal with Qin Chuan, others will probably think that you have an affair.
If the emperor makes a big fuss about this, you will be the only one who suffers!
If you were to deal with Qin Chuan, would you be willing to do it?" Mo Ruxue asked back.
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chunyuan thought of the scene when Qin Chuan was invited on board by her and they met for the first time.
This guy wanted her to be his woman right from the start. He really had an outstanding and outspoken personality.
If they met in public this time, she really couldn't be sure whether Qin Chuan would do the same frivolous thing.
Although Empress Dowager Chunyuan had no feelings for Qin Chuan, she had long listed Qin Chuan as her first choice for future male favorites and classified him as her personal property. Naturally, she was unwilling to hurt Qin Chuan.
"Mother, I am the empress dowager after all, representing the Lu family. If the immortal poet represents the Qian Kingdom's literary world to compete this time, and I am unwilling to go, wouldn't I be criticized? Will people think that I and even the Lu family don't respect the Qian Kingdom's literary world?" Empress Dowager Chunyuan said in embarrassment.
Mo Ruxue's mind was full of calculations, so this problem was naturally solved easily: "This matter is easy to solve. You just need to put on the veil. The Queen Mother is a widow. If you don't show your true face to other men, others will praise you for your loyalty to the late emperor!"
"Then so be it!"
Empress Dowager Chunyuan replied without much enthusiasm.
Mo Ruxue pretended to be concerned and comforted her: "Zhiyan, just bear with it. When we conquer Qian Kingdom, it won't be a problem for you to ask Qin Chuan to accompany you!"
"Ok!"
Empress Dowager Chunyuan's expression finally looked better.
Outside Qinchuan Mansion, more than thirty wealthy businessmen were waiting to see him.
Dingqing took a look.
The shopkeeper of Tianji Pavilion, Zhou Chang, and the owner of Qianling Pharmacy, Liu Jixuan, were both on the list.
The rest of the people were all shop owners of major businesses in the imperial capital, and were considered super rich in the eyes of ordinary people.
They all came here with the same purpose, which was to obtain one of the four naming rights for the match between Qin Chuan and Lin Shishi.
Liu Jixuan looked calm and seemed confident.
Zhou Chang was not tall among the crowd, but he was extremely domineering. He warned others that no one could snatch from him this time!
If they robbed it, they would be making enemies with the Tianji Pavilion.
It's just that everyone who came here was interested in competing, and no one paid any attention to him because his true strength was revealed.
With a creaky sound, the tightly closed door of Qin Chuan's mansion was suddenly opened, and Ouyang Ronger walked out of the mansion.
Zhou Chang and others immediately surrounded them.
"Ms. Ouyang, our Tianji Pavilion is willing to offer 40,000 taels to support Qianguo Literature!" Zhou Chang chose the first offer.
Ouyang Ronger was forced to do this for Qin Chuan before.
But after she believed the words of the Black Spirit Master and thought that Qin Chuan was her future ideal husband, her mentality changed drastically.
Passive becomes active.
She was willing to fight the unscrupulous businessmen in front of her for Qin Chuan and get enough money from them.
Just to make Qin Chuan smile!
She was also more open than before. Regarding Zhou Chang's offer of 40,000 taels of silver, Ouyang Rong'er said disdainfully, "40,000 taels? Do you think my Ouyang family needs your mere 40,000 taels?"
The tough tone made Zhou Chang and others realize that the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family had a huge appetite.
If they want to obtain the naming rights, it won't be possible with just 30,000 or 40,000 taels.
They have no idea how effective this sponsorship will be. If the effect is not good, they will lose all their money!
All of a sudden!
Many people want to give up.
When they were about to leave, they found that their competitors had no intention of leaving.
If their peers gain, they will certainly suffer heavy losses as their gains decrease.
Eventually they had to bite the bullet and compete.
After a round of competition, the price kept rising, and finally the four naming rights were won by Zhou Chang of Tianji Pavilion and Liu Jixuan, the owner of Qianling Pharmacy.
Yang Guangjian, the owner of Qingyang Tavern, and Chai Xu, the owner of Lingtong Money House, were captured.
Each spot costs a whopping eighty thousand taels!
A total of three hundred and twenty thousand taels!
After they got the quota in order to show their sincerity, they took the silver and sent it to Qinchuan's mansion.
Ouyang Ronger was overjoyed. If this was the case, her future husband would certainly be happy.
There are still two hours before the game starts!
Ouyang Ronger ordered her servants to make banners quickly and hang them up during the competition.
After finishing, there were only quarter of an hour left.
Qin Chuan was still sleeping in the room.
And Lin Shishi, one of the protagonists of this event, has already arrived on the stage.
In addition to Hong Yan'er, there was also a white-faced old man beside her.
He was Dugu Chen, the Left Prime Minister of Qi State, whom all the officials of Qian State were extremely afraid of.
With Dugu Chen's arrival, Lin Shishi felt much more at ease.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that those despicable people from Qian Country would interfere.
As more and more people gathered here.
Xuewei, Xuemeihua and others also led their trusted aides and took advantage of the cover of night to go to the residences of the corrupt officials on the list given by Qin Chuan.
quickly!
There is only half a quarter of an hour left before the game starts.
There were already crowds of people around. The Emperor of Qian, the Empress Dowager, civil and military officials, princes and nobles had all arrived.
Qin Chuan has not appeared yet.
Hong Yan'er couldn't help but get anxious: "Miss, Lord Dugu, the time is almost up and Qin Chuan hasn't come yet. Did he escape from the battlefield?"
Lin Shishi was quite calm, but Dugu Chen smiled and opened his tiny eyes and said, "It would be better if he didn't come. The entire Qian country's literary world would be labeled as rats! Who among the literati in the world would be willing to work for rats?
Not only did the Qian Kingdom's literary world never recover from this, but Qin Chuan's actions also harmed the Qian Kingdom, and the Qian Kingdom's emperor would never forgive him."
"Haha, in that case, I don't want Qin Chuan to come." Hong Yan'er said expectantly.
"I believe he will come!" Lin Shishi stood up and said.
"Miss Lin, why are you so sure?" Dugu Chen asked with narrowed eyes.
"Lord Dugu, I can feel Qin Chuan's loyalty to his country from his poems. It is impossible for him to do such a thing that would harm his motherland. Unless he is killed, he will definitely come on time!" Lin Shishi replied.
"Miss, that's hard to say! You can't judge a person by his appearance. He wrote that in his poem. Maybe he deliberately wanted to please the Qian Kingdom court!" Hong Yan'er said unconvinced.
"His poems are full of genuine emotion, and they are definitely written from the heart. It's impossible that he is trying to please people on purpose!" Lin Shishi still firmly believes in her idea.
Hong Yan'er shrugged: "Miss, let's see the results!"
The words have not yet been spoken!
In the distance, a crowd of people gathered and someone shouted, "Here comes the Immortal Poet!"
When this voice came, whether it was Lin Shishi, Nangong Wan sitting on the dragon chair, or Queen Mother Chunyuan sitting on the throne with a veil on, they all smiled knowingly!
He's finally here!
quickly!
Surrounded by thousands of people, Qin Chuan came to the stage like the brightest star.
Qin Chuan's attention was not on Lin Shishi. He saw Nangong Wan sitting on the dragon throne in the distance.
Wearing the dragon robe, she looked more heroic and imperial.
Just as she was about to pretend to go forward and pay her respects, Nangong Wan said, "Poet Immortal Qin Chuan, today you represent the literary world of Qian Country. You decide the success or failure! No need to kneel today!"
Hehe, my wife is not only domineering, but also considerate!
Qin Chuan smiled in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Today, I, Qin Chuan, will definitely defeat Lin Shishi and create a prosperous era for the literary world of Qian Country!"
"I believe you!"
Nangong Wan responded and stopped talking.
The Queen Mother Chun Yuan, who was sitting at the side, sneered in her heart, "Damn little emperor, is this trying to take advantage of the opportunity to win me over? No matter how hard you try to win Qin Chuan over, he will always be my male favorite!"
After looking at Qin Chuan again, Queen Mother Chun Yuan behind the veil began to imagine what it would be like if Qin Chuan became her male favorite...
Qin Chuan ignored Lin Shishi, but she did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, she became more eager to fight.
She came to Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, since you are here, let's start today's competition. I believe that the people of Qian Country can't wait to listen to your masterpiece!"
