The rise of the prince

Chapter 84

Although it has been two days since the Plum Garden Poetry Meeting, Gillian is still dizzy, maybe because of the warmth of winter.Holding the framed manuscript in my hand, I can read it all afternoon, staring blankly at the poem and the words, giggling all the time, as if hoping that it would come to life.

"Frost birds steal their eyes first when they want to go down, and pink butterflies know how to get together and break their souls. Fortunately, there is no need for sandalwood boards and golden cups to meet each other." The more I look at it, the faster my heart beats, and my cheeks are hot, but I still want to see it.

That night, the empress wanted to read the manuscript, so she sent it over, but when she turned around, the prince had disappeared.Many literati lit lamps and searched the plum garden for a long time. Only after asking the doorman did they know that the son had gone.Mrs. Chen Yu excitedly copied a copy of the poem, savored it carefully for a long time, and then also bid farewell to the emperor.

Gillian still remembers the unbelievable eyes of many adults on the high platform, the endless flow of compliments and self-satisfied emotions. Those are all talking about the son of the world, but they are happier than talking about herself.

Maybe this is the prince, always so free and unrestrained, even if he writes a classic work, it is so calm and breezy. If it were an ordinary person, he would be strutting, getting carried away, and arrogant. After all, it is such a poem ah!

Ordinary people may just be curious, as a story, as a topic of conversation after dinner.Only true scholars and those who have studied poetry will know how high Shizi's poems are!

Grandpa personally wrote down the two sentences of "sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating in the moon and dusk", and asked craftsmen to frame them and hang them in the study; when sentenced to the Tokyo Imperial College, Master Chen Yu, a master of knowledge, gave the words "entering the room and managing the world" The evaluation of "work"; a student of the Imperial College in Tokyo, a well-known scholar in Beijing, visited the palace in person yesterday.

But after those people were rejected, they actually came to Xiangfu, and wanted her to speak for her, please see the crown prince.A Jiao was too shy to go out, even though she was betrothed to the prince, the empress also said that she and the prince would be a family sooner or later, but after all, she has not yet become a rite.How could the prince come to beg her if he didn't see him, although he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

Gillian really wants to see the prince, some want to go to the palace, some want to go to Tingyu Tower.She had always seen the prince like this before, but after going through all kinds of things in the plum garden, she dared not go. She always felt that it was too embarrassing, and she wanted to see him so much in her heart.
"Your characters are so well written!" Wu Lie admired, looking at the paper He Zhao held up high.

"Hehe, you, Wu Lie, have learned to flatter horses?" He Zhao stared at the poem in his hand and asked with a smile.

Wu Lie looked stern, and shook his head quickly: "It's not my lord, I didn't flatter, I really think it's good, it's really good!"

He Zhao turned his head and gave him a white look: "Okay, you Wu Lie, you are a big and three rough person, I didn't expect that you are getting more and more treacherous now, don't think that I don't know, you don't know a few big characters, this poem is so uncommon. Do you still recognize it?"

"In order to read official documents, I learn to read every day." Wu Lie whispered.

"Then read it to me." He Zhao stuffed the paper in his hand to him.

Wu Lie suddenly smiled wryly, and said awkwardly: "This lord is wise, these subordinates really don't know all about it."

He Zhao snorted, and took back the poem: "You can't even read all the words and still say that the writing is good. You are not flattering or something."

"My lord clearly observes. Observes."

"Clearly check the details! You dare to use your half-baked knowledge to flatter, and be careful in the future!" He Zhao reprimanded, and then said to himself: "Do you know whose poem I wrote? This is where Xingzhou Poetry"

"Ah!" Wu Lie couldn't believe it, his eyes stared like copper bells.

"Sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating in the moon and dusk." He Zhao read while pacing: "Just this sentence can be regarded as a masterpiece of the world, every time I read it, I feel wonderful. What do you think Li Xingzhou is?" What kind of person is he? I can't see through more and more, I thought he was just a fool with no brains and no merits, but now it seems that he is not."

"My lord, no matter who it is, he lied to Miss!" Wu Lie said loudly.

He Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then his face was gloomy, "Yes, no matter who he is, he is a heinous person who dares to lie to Qian'er!" As he spoke, he tore the poem in his hand into pieces, and began to scold Li Xingzhou, Wu Lie angrily. He dared not say a word on the sidelines.

After scolding for a long time, He Zhao calmed down, looked at the shredded paper and said, "Li Xingzhou is not a human being, but the poem is a good poem, please write it again, Wu Lie grinds the ink."

"It's my lord!" Wu Lie quickly agreed.

He Zhao wrote while saying: "Wang Yue repeatedly told the truth in front of the empress, and mentioned that Qian'er was close to Li Xingzhou. He thought I didn't know what he wanted to do? That old man just wanted to drag me into the water!

When his granddaughter was betrothed to Li Xingzhou, how could I not know that he ran up and down to clear it, just to push back the engagement.But that day in the plum garden, the emperor and empress actually paid a private visit to see Li Xingzhou, and Shengjia came to the plum garden in person. He knew that the marriage could not be pushed back, so he wanted to drag me into the water!

The sages say that you should not do to others what you do not want to be done to others, but he has a very thick skin, and he will drag others if he doesn't want to!Hey! "

The more He Zhao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he tore up the half-written poem again.

Wu Lie looked helpless: "Actually, if you don't talk about your personality, Li Xingzhou is still good. He is the queen of Xiaowang."

"What do you know, the crown prince is about to succeed in the past few years! Think about it, when King Xiao was at the height of his power, all officials were obedient. Although he has not yet entered the East Palace due to the matter of King Lin, in the eyes of everyone, he is the crown prince. Li Xingzhou What does Li Xingzhou look like if he is favored by the emperor and empress?" He Zhao asked.

Wu Lie scratched his head, and said uncertainly, "Could it be the emperor's eldest grandson?"

"That's right!" He Zhao said in a deep voice, with a solemn expression. If the crown prince dies early, the succession of the emperor's eldest grandson is legal and not against the rules: "Because of this, the crown prince will be more or less guarded against him, and wait until the crown prince succeeds. hour
It would be fine if the prince is broad-minded and tolerant, but Li Xingzhou would be in great trouble without him! "

Wu Lie also looked shocked. He only thought that Li Xingzhou was a dignified person, a high-ranking nobleman who could do whatever he wanted in his life. He didn't expect to have such concerns. He really didn't understand the world of big shots.

At this time, He Zhao had already begun to write "Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden" for the third time, "The emperor betrothed Wang Yue's granddaughter to Li Xingzhou. Outsiders seem to be confused, but looking deeper, it is obvious that he does not want the Wang family to marry the Zhong family. After all, Wang Yue He is the leader of civil servants, the military commander Wei Zhong Daoyu is the leader, Li Xingzhou is just an outcast. But if you think about it carefully, what if the emperor didn't give up on Li Xingzhou at all?"

Wu Lie was already confused, and his mind was buzzing. Although he listened to what the adults said, he couldn't understand it at all, didn't understand the reason, and didn't understand the meaning.

He Zhao stopped the brush in his hand, raised his head and closed his eyes in thought: "If the emperor hadn't given up, it would be my He family who would be in trouble!

If he didn't give up, then Xu Wang Lianshan gave Li Xingzhou a warning to the Wang family and the Zhong family, but in fact he took the opportunity to find a backing for Li Xinzhou. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne and the Wang family is around, he dare not go too far.And now that old man Wang Yue dragged me into the water!In front of the emperor at the poetry meeting, he kept mentioning the close relationship between Qian'er and Li Xingzhou. If the emperor really wanted to protect Li Xingzhou, he would definitely be moved! "

He Zhao gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, and he tore up the half-written poem again.
