Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 262 Jiang Wange's talent raises questions

Concubine Liu's heart sank when she heard this!

Yes, power moves people’s hearts!

Who would be willing to give up the power they have acquired?

Just like when she first assisted in managing the six palaces, it was because the queen was ill and she helped to deal with some trivial matters. But as she dealt with them, the power of the six palaces gradually fell into her hands.

Asking her to return the power of the six palaces to the Queen would be more painful for Concubine Liu than killing her!

Although Concubine Zhou's words were unpleasant to hear, they might not be without reason...

If Concubine Rou really develops ambitions that she shouldn't have, she will make sure she gets what she wants!

However, at this time, Cuizhu said, "Madam, Madam Xiao from Zhongcui Palace is here."

Concubine Liu sat back in her chair and said in a complicated tone, "Let her in."

"Yes!"

Madam Xiao brought Xia Feng and Qiu Yue over and bowed respectfully, with every movement as standard as if measured with a ruler. Then she said, "Your Highness, Concubine Rou knew that the confinement in Yongshou Palace had been lifted, so she specially ordered this old servant to bring all the harem account books here."

"Please check, Madam, to see if there is anything missing."

The expression on Concubine Zhou’s face froze instantly!

Concubine Liu was also annoyed, thinking that Concubine Rou had always been doing her duty, but she had always been speculating about her with malice...

With Madam Xiao still around, Imperial Concubine Liu naturally wouldn't say these words. She just smiled and said, "I know all about Sister Roupin's dedication to me, so I naturally don't doubt her ability."

Immediately, Concubine Liu ordered people to give generous rewards to Nanny Xiao, as well as Xia Feng and Qiu Yue who were holding the account books.

After the three of them left, Concubine Zhou seemed to know that she was going to be in trouble, and she was the first to kneel on the ground: "Your Highness, please forgive me..."

"I didn't mean to sow discord between you and Concubine Rou, it's just... just... I just care too much about Your Majesty, so I'm confused because of my concern..."

Concubine Liu sneered and looked at her with a chilling look in her eyes: "You can just lie to yourself, but you still want to lie to me?!"

However, looking at the empty left sleeve of Concubine Zhou, Concubine Liu was too lazy to scold her as she did before. It was not because she couldn't bear it, but because she was afraid that the emperor would think that she was bullying a disabled person.

"That's enough! Go back to your Lihua Pavilion and take good care of your baby. Don't bother me anymore!"

Concubine Zhou lowered her head and said "yes", feeling unwilling in her heart.

She won't give up just like that!

Even if she can't use the Imperial Concubine, she will definitely find other opportunities to take revenge on that vicious woman Jiang Wange!

……

Time passed like flowing water, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot happened in these ten days.

The emperor was busy with state affairs and rarely turned over the cards recently. At first, he only stayed in Yongshou Palace for one night.

This was the first time that Concubine Liu was confined to her house since Nangong Xuanyu ascended the throne. Before, everyone thought that the most favored Concubine in the six palaces might fall out of favor because of Concubine Wen...

After this night, the rumors were proven false, and Concubine Liu returned to her former flamboyance!

However, although the emperor did not stay overnight anywhere else, he still took some time every day to sit in Zhongcui Palace.

Everyone in the palace knew how favored Concubine Rou was, and no one dared to neglect her.

Jiang Wange remained undeterred and wrote a poem every day to present to the emperor.

Some are grand and heroic, some are graceful and moving, and some are lingering and sad.

The only thing in common is that each of them is very popular, and many of them are hailed as masterpieces and are widely circulated!

At the beginning, whether in the palace, the court, or among the people, everyone was admiring Lady Wen’s talent!

Many people even felt sorry for her, thinking that she was a literary star who had just been born into the wrong body. How wonderful it would be if she were a man. They would definitely make friends with her and drink and talk about poetry together!

But gradually... people who questioned Wen Guiren emerged one after another...

Because the creation of poetry often integrates the background of the times, the author's life experience, life insights, etc., the graceful or heroic style is basically fixed.

Although many of the poems written by Wen Guiren are masterpieces of all time, their styles are completely opposite and give people a very weird feeling!

Moreover, how could a young concubine living in the deep palace possibly write about the war and iron cavalry, and the patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people?

Many people even began to say that Wen Guiren’s poems were all copied and plagiarized from other people’s works!

But when a person is famous enough, many fans will appear behind her. She doesn't have to do anything, those who support her will speak for her.

In addition, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion sent people to manipulate public opinion at the first opportunity, so the situation did not develop to the point where it was out of control.

You said that Wen Guiren's poems were stolen? Sure!

Show us the evidence!

When did she steal it? Who did she steal it from? Who was the original author?

The person who could write these eternal masterpieces can't be someone we've never heard of, so why doesn't he come forward to claim his own work?

Faced with these questions, those who questioned Jiang Wange were speechless...

Yes, how could a person who could write so many amazing and brilliant works not be famous, and how could he be willing to have his works stolen?

No one has come forward so far, and they have never heard of the poems written by Wen Guiren before. Even though her works have many weird places, they have no evidence to say that she plagiarized...

In addition, Jiang Wange was only a concubine, and could neither participate in the imperial examination nor serve as an official in the court. The only thing she could do was to please His Majesty. Whether her talent was real or not was actually not that important, and the matter gradually subsided.

However, Jiang Wange's reputation in the government and among the people has been mixed...

People who like her still like her and praise her as a rare talent with varied poetry styles that are stunning!

People who don't like her are extremely disgusted with her, saying that stolen talent will eventually reveal its true color!

In fact, long before everyone questioned it, Nangong Xuanyu found something strange when he saw the poems that Jiang Wange sent to the emperor.

At first he suspected that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had found a group of talented writers to write for Jiang Wange, which led to the different style of her poetry.

But after investigation, nothing unusual was found, and those poems by Jiang Wange were indeed written by her herself.

Although the emperor felt puzzled, he did not have too much energy to waste on a nobleman and focused more on the previous dynasty.

Jiang Wange felt guilty and was on tenterhooks for a long time before she heaved a sigh of relief...

She knew that even if the poems she stole were circulated and aroused suspicion from many people, no one could expose her.

After all, there won’t be a second person from the future in this world.

Jiang Wange calmed down and continued to write poems for the emperor.

Finally, her words "I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down1" moved the emperor with her deep affection!
