The first free king of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 52 The Poetry Meeting Begins

Just when there was a little episode on Tang Sufan's side, and on the other side...

Kong Yingda was chatting casually with a few old friends, a guard hurried past and said something directly to Kong Yingda in a low voice.

Then Kong Yingda frowned, and exchanged glances with several old friends.

The bosses understood immediately, and then they left hand in hand, their pace was three points faster than usual...

In the inner garden of Qinghe Garden, in a pavilion, a beautiful woman in ordinary clothes is admiring the scenery, chatting with a maid standing behind her from time to time...

This servant girl has beautiful eyebrows, a capable temperament, and the vigilant eyes that are revealed from time to time are always paying attention to the changes around her.

And Kong Yingda and the others passed through the courtyard of the Qinghe Garden and came to the pavilion in the back garden, when they saw the beautiful woman.

He bowed and greeted in a low voice at the same time: "Chen, I greet you~"

Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled, showing a gentle style, and replied in a gentle voice: "The ministers don't need to be too polite, just calm down quickly~"

"Thank you ma'am..."

"Several ministers, I came here today in low clothes, so there is no need to make a special trip, and there is no need to demand any etiquette."

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, although your Majesty came here in modesty, your safety is greater than the sky. I and the others have set up their defenses, and they will not disturb your Majesty and Her Royal Highness's pleasure..."

Another gray-haired old man said after Kong Yingda finished speaking: "Madam, I have asked someone to arrange the positions of Madam and Your Highness. Although it is not eye-catching, you can still watch the audience. Later, Madam will be there when she wants to go." Someone took you there..."

In fact, anyone who has been in the court for two days knows how much Li Shimin loves his queen.

If something happened to the empress, then the guilt would be even worse than protecting the emperor~
So when Kong Yingda and the others knew that the queen was coming, they didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Originally, it was just for entertainment, to see if there were any noteworthy young talents' poetry gathering, Kong Yingda and the others were so cautious.

Empress Changsun said: "Then it will be hard for the ministers..."

"The humble ministers didn't want to disturb Madam Yaxing, and retreated first~"

"Those ministers will be busy first..."

The old men bowed and then withdrew.

As soon as the few people left, Empress Changsun said to the maid behind her who was disguised as an ordinary maid: "Let's go, Hongying, and accompany me to the front. Lizhi, once she leaves the palace, she will be so happy that she can't find her." There is a figure..."

"Yes, madam..."

The atrium of Qinghe Garden.

Tang Sufan also had to smile awkwardly, letting his mind be active, he didn't know how to ease the embarrassment.

Kong Lingyue saw Tang Sufan's embarrassment, and said softly: "It's not Mr. Tang's fault, it's mainly because of Mr. Tang's talent, the little girl's anagrams naturally can't be put on the table."

Tang Sufan yelled, and said, "Where is it, there are several of them, and I almost can't figure them out~"

Kong Lingyue glanced reproachfully with beautiful eyes, did you look like you couldn't figure it out just now?

"Brother Fan~"

At this moment, a whisper sounded from somewhere in Qinghe Garden.

Suddenly, in the distance of Tang Sufan, Princess Yuzhang Li Lirou was looking at Tang Sufan's direction with eyes full of surprise.

And beside her, was holding a cute little girl, and the little girl was her younger sister, Princess Changle Li Lizhi.

The two wore ordinary clothes, pretending to be the children of ordinary people.

And when she saw Kong Lingyue who was chatting happily with Tang Sufan, her eyes darkened.

I thought to myself, how great would it be if I could always stand by his side?
"Sister, sister... Hurry up~ There's something interesting over there, let's go and see~"

When Li Lirou was having trouble expressing her thoughts, her younger sister Li Lizhi excitedly pulled her sister, pointed at the fun things on the other side, and wanted to take her sister to play with her.

Li Lirou glanced at Tang Sufan's figure with nostalgia, and was silent for a while... She still chose not to say hello, maybe... The fate of the two of them may only depend on God's will.

Then I had to be dragged to a distant place by my sister to play...

As time passed, Tang Sufan and Kong Lingyue walked around the Qinghe Garden, and suddenly saw many literati gathering towards the red circle in the center of the Qinghe Garden.

Kong Lingyue said: "Young Master Tang, it seems that the poetry meeting has begun ~ let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

Tang Sufan and Kong Lingyue also walked towards the middle and were among the crowd.

Song Yingcai, who had met at the gate of the Confucian Mansion before, saw Tang Sufan and Kong Lingyue not far away.

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Song Yingcai couldn't help but feel angry.

Turning his head to the surrounding companions who were also wearing Chinese robes, he said: "Several of you, it's that kid, I'll definitely make him look good later!"

"Brother Song, don't worry, a small businessman dares to be presumptuous in front of Brother Song like this, it's really daring!"

"Brother Song, don't worry, I'll let him lose face first, and after the poetry meeting, he will look good."

Suddenly, several voices echoed around.

Song Yingcai's gloomy face eased a little, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

..............................

Under the red ring, Kong Yingda and five people were already sitting in the five chairs directly opposite.

Around the arena, there were quite a few well-known Confucian teachers sitting in high-ranking chairs, while Empress Changsun, who was wearing a normal uniform, was sitting in an inconspicuous position where she could see the audience.

Talented scholars under the stage sat in orderly in the venue of the poetry meeting, even if they were sitting, each of them held their heads high and their chests high, and they were full of energy.

Because there are many beauties in the surrounding pavilions, you can't be stage fright.

The eldest grandson queen who sat down lowered her head and asked her daughter: "Li Zhi, where is sister?"

Li Lizhi raised her head and looked at her mother: "Mother, my sister said that she has found some good friends in her boudoir, so she won't sit with us."

Empress Changsun nodded and said nothing.

I thought my daughter was shy because she said something before she came out to see if there is anyone she likes~
Li Lirou, on the other hand, stood in the pavilion watching from a distance, watching the arena, not daring to show her face.

The lights are dimming, and the warblers are singing and the swallows are talking.

On the red ring, one person stood up and shouted loudly: "Silence! Silence!"

Immediately, everyone who was talking slowly fell silent.

"Everyone, the imperial court is gracious to recruit talents! Today, the Qinghe Garden Poetry Meeting is held here, with the intention of making friends with poetry and recognizing people with talent. Those who stand out in this poetry meeting will have the opportunity to be recommended to the imperial court~ "

Although the imperial examinations were prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, in the city of Chang'an, under the feet of the emperor, high-ranking officials would recommend talented people.

Although he can't reach the sky in one step, he can be regarded as officially entering the official career, let alone in Chang'an.

Except for Tang Sufan, all the talented scholars and scholars who participated in the poetry meeting around were excited and flushed after hearing the words.

Because the few old men sitting not far away, except for the famous Confucian Mr. Wang Ji, are all important officials of the court. The weight of their words is not comparable to that of ordinary officials!
