Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 402

Coming out of the palace, Princess Yanguang returned to the Princess Mansion, and immediately called the eunuch who was preparing for the poetry meeting.

Princess Yanguang was favored by the emperor, and the emperor specially rewarded ten eunuchs to serve the princess.

The name of this clever eunuch is Jiang Gui, who has studied for several years, so Jiang Gui has organized the poetry gatherings at the Princess Mansion.

"Princess, please don't worry, all the preparations for this poetry meeting have been completed!"

Jiang Gui had prepared several times for the poetry meeting. He was originally a smart and careful person, and he did not make mistakes several times in a row, which made Princess Yanguang's poetry meeting the most famous in Fengxiang Mansion.

Princess Yanguang is very satisfied with Jiang Gui, but tomorrow's poetry meeting will be the last one before Qiu Wei, and her father will pay attention to her again, so naturally she has to do better.

Princess Yanguang said to the maid beside her:

"Wan'er, bring the treasure that King Jianning gave to me."

Wan'er immediately said: "Princess, that is your favorite."

Princess Yanguang said: "Looking at your ignorant appearance, the so-called return after all the money is gone, if you are willing to part with it, you will get something if you are willing."

Wan'er brought a sandalwood box, and Princess Yanguang opened the box herself, only to see a music box lying in a ball of brocade.

The shell of this music box is made of pure gold, and various precious stones are inlaid on it.

Princess Yanguang wound up the clockwork, and the music box made melodious music.

A song "To Alice" is timeless and beautiful. After listening to the music, Princess Yanguang said:
"I heard from Shangliu's envoy that this song "Zhi Yanguang Princess Song" is a piece that my younger brother missed me, but why didn't I know that my younger brother still has the talent to compose?"

Wan'er immediately smiled and said: "My servant heard that the envoy from Shangliu is proficient in melody and can play music with a strange instrument similar to a pipa. Could it be that the envoy from Shangliu pretended to ask King Jianning to give this music box?"

Princess Yanguang picked up a pillow and threw it at Wan'er, saying coquettishly, "Let you chew your tongue!"

Looking at the music box playing slowly, Princess Yanguang said slowly: "Pad soil leather, wood, stone and gold, plus silk and bamboo, this is the eight music. Such a small box can automatically release such a beautiful melody, This thing is really ingenious!"

Princess Yanguang said to Jiang Gui: "You release the wind, this music box is the No.1 reward for this poetry meeting."

Jiang Gui immediately fell on the ground and said, "Princess, this is your favorite thing!"

But Princess Yanguang said: "This poetry meeting is the last one before Qiu Wei. After Qiu Wei, the court will move back to Chang'an. This may also be the last autumn we hold in Fengxiang Mansion."

Fleeing from Chang'an in a hurry, Princess Yanguang's life was divided into two parts by the Maweipo mutiny.

The first half is the arrogant but unfavored royal daughter. As the daughter of the prince, although she is married in Chang'an, her husband is not close to her. The prosperity and extravagance of Chang'an are the best years in Princess Yanguang's memory.

From the beginning of the Maweipo Mutiny, her husband, who survived in name only, was strangled to death by the rebels. In a panic, Princess Yanguang followed her father to Lingwu, watching her forbearing father ascend the throne in Lingwu.

From this time on, Princess Yanguang became a considerate daughter, a smart princess of the Tang Dynasty, who was good at balancing the relationship between the royal family and foreign ministers with her own identity, and her second marriage gave her a new stage.

Princess Yanguang has adjusted her position, and she is good at dancing inside and outside the palace.

Soon, the news that Princess Yanguang took out her beloved baby as a lottery prize for this poetry meeting spread throughout Fengxiang Mansion.

Although the battle on the front line was tense, the joy of regaining Chang'an diluted the previous tense atmosphere.

On the contrary, Qiuwei has gradually become a hot topic of discussion among the people.

After all, Qiu Wei is the country's talent show. In this era of talent and learning as the selection standard, Qiu Wei is no less than the national talent show of later generations.

And the momentum of these young scholars before Qiu Wei was also tantamount to Qiu Wei's audition propaganda.

This time Princess Yanguang's poetry meeting is even more like a rehearsal match before the finals.

So when this poetry meeting was held, the courtyard of Princess Yanguang was already full of onlookers.

"Have you heard? This time the seventeen sons of Longyou are going to participate in this poetry meeting?"

"Longyou seventeen sons, are they the recent Longyou examinees who became famous in Fengxiang Mansion?"

"Of course it's them! The Seventeenth Son of Longyou is the hottest figure in Fengxiang Mansion right now!"

"I didn't expect that the Longyou Juzi would become a blockbuster this time, and the Longyou Seventeenth Son will probably lead the literary world of the Tang Dynasty!"

"I don't know how many younger brothers the seventeen sons of Longyou will be in Qiuwei this time!"

"It depends on whether this poetry meeting can spread the famous poems through the ages!"

The players who got the greeting cards came to Princess Yanguang's other courtyard together.

Looking at this elegant courtyard and the scholars in brocade clothes and jade robes coming and going, Wang Chengwei only felt a psychedelic sense of separation.

It is obviously such a troubled time, and the officials, nobles and literati in Fengxiang Mansion are still trying to maintain the aftertaste of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Life in Fengxiang Mansion is still extravagant, but in the once prosperous land of Guanzhong, there is no one household in ten thousand miles.

Literati and scholars still gathered in the Princess Mansion to recite poems and fight against each other, which also made Wang Chengwei very upset.

Zhou Bo said to Wang Chengwei:
"Brother Wang, I didn't expect the Duke of Fengxiang Mansion to be so extravagant."

Wang Chengwei nodded and said: "It is said that the Tang Dynasty is extravagant, but I didn't expect that even the two capitals have not been recovered, and they have spread in Fengxiang Mansion."

This courtyard of Princess Mansion is near the city outline of Fengxiang Mansion. It was originally a mansion of a rich merchant. When the imperial court came to Fengxiang Mansion, the rich merchant gave the mansion to the royal family.

This house was given to his beloved daughter by the emperor, and later the Princess Mansion hired craftsmen to renovate the house.

Craftsmen introduced running water from the moat and artificially created a tributary to pass through the courtyard.

Princess Yanguang is also a person who loves elegance. According to the allusions of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, she named the poetry meeting "Qushui Liushang Banquet".

The literati who participated in the poetry meeting sat around the water in the courtyard, and the maids put down the wooden wine and tableware upstream.

The fine wine in the drinking utensils will drift down with the flowing water in the courtyard, and people sitting around the flowing water can pick up the fine wine and drink freely at any time.

The carefully cooked delicacies will also be placed in wooden containers, drifting down with the flowing water, and those who want to eat can take them out of the flowing water to eat at any time.

It was the first time for the players to see such a luxurious scene, and they turned on the recording system one after another.

Zhou Bo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The opening of the faction still depends on Datang! This show is full!"

The boy who called the roll at the door took the invitations from everyone and shouted loudly: "The Seventeenth Son of Longyou is here!"

Wang Chengwei resisted this name, which is similar to that of an idol group.

But since the name of Longyou Seventeen Sons was established, they quickly became famous in Fengxiang Mansion.

After the roll call, the literati and scholars present all focused their attention on this "group combination" that had recently gained fame in Fengxiang Mansion.

Wang Chengwei and a group of people are wearing cotton gowns. Although they are not as gorgeous as silk, these printed and dyed cotton cloths are bright in color and have bright patterns printed on them.

Moreover, cotton cloth is warmer than silk, and it is more upright than soft silk when worn on the body.

As the seventeen sons of Longyou became popular in Fengxiang Mansion, their clothing and attire also attracted the attention of scholars in Fengxiang Mansion.

Although cotton and linen are the clothes of the common people, scholars who have not been admitted to the imperial examination are still ordinary people. Some students from poor families even sell their fields to buy a piece of silk clothes in order to be less shabby when visiting friends in Fengxiang Mansion.

People in the Tang Dynasty were very extravagant. Although they did not recruit officials based on family background like the Wei and Jin Dynasties, poor scholars with good clothes were still looked down upon.

Seeing the seventeen sons of Longyou confidently wearing cotton cloth to go in and out of the mansions of dignitaries, the cotton cloth brought from Longyou became a new choice.

All kinds of printed and dyed fabrics are very popular in the commercial firm in the backyard of Longyou Dudu Mansion, and the business of tailors who can sew cotton-padded clothes is also booming.

Among the scholars who participated in the Poetry Meeting of the Princess Mansion this time, many of them wore cotton clothes.

On such an occasion, familiar people naturally sit together in a group. Wang Chengwei found an empty place, and a group of players sat down laughing and laughing.

The number of people gradually increased, and this time the Princess Mansion Poetry Club invited all the young students who are now famous in Fengxiang Mansion, and the side of the flowing water was full of people.

When it was time for the poetry meeting to start, a crisp chime sounded, and an eunuch squeezed his throat and shouted:

"The princess is here!"

Princess Yanguang, who was wearing a gorgeous red robe, walked into the courtyard surrounded by maids.

It has to be said that whether it is appearance or temperament, Princess Yanguang is the top "female NPC" that players have ever seen.

"Da Tang Feng Yun" has been jokingly called a "monk game" by players. There are very few female characters in the game. Although there are many orchids in Longyou, there are almost no famous female NPCs. .

Princess Yanguang's unique demeanor of being an imperial concubine and a mature woman, overwhelmed the audience as soon as she appeared on the stage, and players turned on the camera function one after another!

Who said that we don't have female roles in Datang Fengyun!

How can such a royal lady be compared to those coquettish sluts!

Princess Yanguang sat under the pergola on the uppermost side of the flowing water, and the maid named Wan'er shouted in a crisp voice:
"The second year of Zhide, at the age of Dingyou, in the late autumn, I will meet at Princess Fengxiang's mansion. All the talents will come, and the young and old will gather together."

"Princess Zhizhi said that this poetry meeting will meet friends through literature, which is a blessing for today's literary world."

"The poems written in this poetry meeting will be transcribed in the collection and sent to His Majesty the Emperor for reading."

The scholars present were all excited, and being able to give it to the emperor for imperial reading means that the well-written ones will be able to enter the emperor's eyes. As long as the name can be left in the emperor's heart, maybe there will be a little more hope of becoming a Jinshi. .

Seeing that the atmosphere below was gradually heating up, Wan'er said again:

"His Royal Highness Princess also took out a rare treasure as a lottery prize in this poetry meeting, and gave it to the person who won the first prize."

"As for the title of this poetry meeting."

All I saw was Princess Yanguang in a red dress, standing up gracefully from the bed, and placing an exquisite wooden carving in the running water.

The maid Wan'er said: "Princess Zhiyue, this poetry meeting will be about objects in running water!"
