The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 30 Thunder Wrath
Concubine Li saw that the people were getting farther and farther away, so she winked at Wang Meiren. Wang Meiren understood, and said softly: "Your Majesty, today's feast, viewing peonies, must be done without poems. It is better to let all the concubines in the harem and the ministers and scholars of the court come." How about reciting poems?"

Li Longji praised: "Your suggestion is very good! My ancestors in the Tang Dynasty loved poetry, and today's good banquet cannot be without poetry! But how can Qing and other talents compare with the talents of the four directions?"

Wang Meiren slightly annoyed: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that concubines and other concubines are inferior in learning and are not worth watching! Don't forget, Your Majesty, that Shangguan Zhaorong of the previous dynasty was a woman, but her talent in poetry and prose surpassed thousands. Mustache."

Everyone listened to what she said tactfully, and saw that she was eager to try, and they all wanted to see what talent she had and dared to speak out to overwhelm all talented people.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "This girl is really bold, isn't she afraid of being embarrassing in front of all the talented scholars! According to my concubines, it's better for the sisters of the Six Palaces to write poems first, and the ministers choose How about a representative to judge?"

Li Longji nodded and said: "Just according to Concubine Li's words! But what is the topic?
Liu Jieyu was afraid that others would preemptively say something else, so the bamboo basket would be empty, so she hurriedly said: "Today we appreciate peonies in the Furong Garden, so the title of the poem should be about peonies."

Chang Xi and Queen Wang looked at each other and said: As expected, Concubine Li is trying to play tricks here!

Concubine Li and the other three took the lead step by step, and finally seized the opportunity in their hands. At this moment, they had the chance to win, so they couldn't help feeling even more proud.

Li Longji said: "Okay, let's do it like this."

Empress Wang leaned over and said with a smile: "The concubine is illiterate, and dare not disturb your majesty's pleasure. I wonder if it is possible for the concubine's close female officer, Chang Xi, to compose poems for the concubine?"

Li Longji said: "Chang Xi was trained by Qing alone, it is not an exaggeration to let her do it for her." She is good at singing and dancing, but she has never thought about poetry and prose, so she is also giving her a step up by the way.

Concubine Li's eyes were slightly red, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, 'Scholars should treat each other with admiration for three days'. Recently, the concubine knows that she has made a mistake. She reads poetry and books frequently while thinking about the past in the palace, hoping to bow down and reflect on herself. If you make His Majesty angry again, let alone read books to tell right from wrong, in this way, the concubine will be able to raise Ying'er well and let him share His Majesty's worries."

Seeing her sincere repentance and studiousness, Li Longji was greatly moved, and said, "Thank you Concubine Li!"

Mr. Xiao Qing said: "The sages have said, 'I examine myself three times in the day', and said, 'If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening', the concubine Li lives in the harem, but she does not forget the words of the sages, it really makes us wait for scholars Shame!"

After speaking, all the ministers agreed, praising Concubine Li for being sensitive, studious, and good at introspection.

Li Ye was really annoyed to hear these gentlemen drop their schoolbags, so he hurriedly said, "I see, let's start now!"

Gao Lishi ordered several servants to bring the most blooming peonies of various famous peonies and put them in the center for everyone to chant.

Ning Wang Li Xiandao: "I don't know who among the ministers sent out to judge?"

Zhang Shuo, Xiao Qing and the others are all eager to try, but it’s not good to just stand out like this. Isn’t that clearly saying that they are highly educated? You must know that literati look down on each other, and those with a little bit of talent look at each other and dislike each other. For a while, there was no sound, no one dared to be such a bird.

Seeing this, Li Longji said with a smile: "Wang Wei, I appreciate your literary talent very much, and you will preside over the review of this poem competition!"

"Wang Wei?" Chang Xi's dark eyes rolled around, very curious about what this great poet who has been famous for thousands of years looks like.

I saw a handsome scholar wearing a green shirt and a white scarf flashing out from among the ministers. He bowed to the ground and said: "My minister obeys the order."

Then, he walked to the center with big strides, paid homage to all the empresses, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Ke has little talent and learning, and today I dare to criticize the poems of all empresses. If I offend you, I hope Haihan."

All the concubines nodded and looked at the purple, yellow, green, blue, red, and white peonies lined up in the center of the ground, bowing their heads in thought. Only Concubine Li and her team had the chance to win, sipping tea in a leisurely manner. Prepare to be a blockbuster.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing smiled and said: "It seems that the concubine Li has a plan in mind, and the next official will definitely listen to the empress's masterpiece."

Concubine Li saw that he was strong, she nodded slightly to him, and then glanced at Chang Xi who was thinking hard beside the empress, she judged that no matter how strong the literary talent of this stinky girl was, it would not be better than the poems she bought with a lot of money, she was full of confidence for a while, How did they know that Chang Xi came from time travel.

The time limit for a stick of incense has passed, and Chang Xi, who wrote the poem on behalf of the queen, should be the first to chant, but seeing her walking gracefully to the center, she bowed to Wang Wei with a smile on her face, and said loudly: "' It's common to see in King Qi's house, Cui Jiutang heard about it a few times before, the maidservant Chang Xi wrote poems on behalf of the empress, and met Lord Wang first, so I fear that my lack of knowledge will pollute my ears, so I apologize first."

"Huh!!" Shocked exclamations came from the crowd!Li Longji's deep eyes filled with countless admiration, Ning Wang Li Xian stroked his beard and nodded, drunken Xue Wang Li Ye's eyes suddenly brightened, re-examining the woman in front of him, Qi Wang Li Fan heard him mentioned in Chang Xi's poem, changed his old taciturn , Keep applauding.Queen Wang admired Chang Xi's strategy, but she was not so relieved about her talent and learning. Who would have thought that she won the praise of everyone before she chanted peony, so she felt relieved.

Concubine Hua, Guo Shunyi, Zhong Meiren, Liu Cairen and others saw that Chang Xi was so powerful, they couldn't help but secretly sighed that they couldn't find such a capable female official and felt very sorry.

Concubine Li, Beauty Wang, and Liu Jieyu all had dark faces, wondering if the poems they bought with a lot of money could convince her.

Chang Xi felt a little proud!It seems that Brother Du Fu really didn't do it!Just two lines of poems shocked them!These two sentences are famous lines in Du Fu's poems through the ages. They were written by him to Li Guinian. They couldn't be used to refer to Wang Wei, but coincidentally, Wang Wei also often went to and from Qi Wang Li Fan's palace. Ranked ninth!Doesn't this fit the meaning of the poem?Chang Xi took the sheep and borrowed it, anyway, Brother Du Fu still doesn't know where it is now!It’s not too much to use first!

She, a time-traveling person, tried her hand at the chopper, and was secretly praised as a talented woman by everyone. Even the great poet Wang Wei bowed excitedly and said, "Young lady is so talented! Mojie dare not take it!"

Chang Xi smiled, pretending to admire the peonies, and recited Li He's poem: "Qin Heng is old before the lotus branches grow, and he walks on a horse to carry golden spring grass..." Almost after four sentences, he won the applause of the audience again!In fact, Chang Xi didn't even know what the words in his mouth meant. Anyway, the Chinese teacher forced him to memorize them. In total, he memorized hundreds of poems about plum blossoms, peonies, lotus flowers, and chrysanthemums. She was full of complaints, but now it seems to be quite useful. After seeing the reactions of the four, Chang Xi secretly laughed and said: You can't stand it!After a while, I will read Liu Yuxi's "Ode to Peony", and your jaws will not drop in surprise!

Chang Xi turned around and looked at Concubine Li, whose chin had dropped half, bowed and said, "The maidservant has finished reciting, please compose a poem!"

"Chang'an...Chang'an is young and cherishes the remnants of spring..." Concubine Li was intimidated by Chang Xi's poems, she was angry and anxious, she didn't know if the few poems she had memorized could overwhelm her, she suddenly became incoherent, slightly After concentrating on his mind, he continued: "Contest to recognize the kindness purple peony. Don't have a jade plate to ride the dew cold. If no one gets up, just look at it in the middle of the moon."

"Okay!" Xiao Qing took the lead in applauding loudly, and the applause was thunderous throughout the banquet. King Ning laughed and said, "The white peony is also called Yulu, and it is really pure and flawless. In the song Lifei, it is said that although Wei Zi is gorgeous, it is not as pure as Yulu. good."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Liu Hua and Concubine Liu Jieyu also wrote poems one by one, but they were far inferior to Chang Xi and Concubine Li's, only Wang Meiren's line was still enjoyable.After the last Liu Cairen recited, everyone turned to Wang Wei to see how he would comment!
