Red makeup against the world

Chapter 185 Where to Find Li Bai

Wu Zhengxiang leaned against the window, habitually hiding in the shadows, looking at the figure standing in the middle of the "Shu Yuxuan" room, he felt a pang of distress in his heart.

Xu Wanzhen was squeezed out and made things difficult, all in his eyes.Just because she had the lowest status among the noble girls present, she was used to attack her.

At this moment, he just wanted to hold her in his arms, not let her bear all this alone.The idea of ​​marrying her as a wife and protecting her under his wings became more urgent than ever.

In "Shu Yuxuan", Xu Wanzhen said in a clear voice: "Since the princess wants to see the real talents of women, then..." She raised her eyebrows lightly, exuding strong confidence, and said: "It's better to follow the example of the ancients, seven How about stepping into poetry?"

Her cold voice echoed in the suddenly quiet room, and the girls were astonished.

Tu Manfen was stunned, her first thought was: "Is she crazy?" Then she thought: "Xu Wan really should have some confidence, otherwise she wouldn't be boasting about Haikou."

Cao Qingyi smiled at the corner of her mouth, and she spoke out to help her when she was in Accord, she was neither humble nor overbearing, and Cao Qingyi liked her well.The arrogance shown at this time is even rarer among women.

There was a hint of appreciation in Princess Zhaoyang's eyes.The Xu Wanzhen she met before, although talented, was too cautious.Facing the pressure and going head-on, this is the talent she wants.She smiled immediately and said, "Wan Zhen intends to imitate the ancients, why not?"

Xu Wanzhen smiled faintly, stepped out slowly, and said in her mouth: "There are more than a thousand flowers in diameter, and there are such flowers in the world. Today I see the color, let alone ask other families." After taking seven steps, the poem has just been finished.The magnificent scene of "more than a thousand peonies in full bloom within one foot" described in the poem fascinates everyone.

Although Tang Yuanyao himself could not compose good poems, he still knew how to distinguish good poems from bad ones.This poem can be compared with the one written by Cao Qinghui before.He was supposed to watch her jokes, but he became the one who set up the stage for her?
Feeling unwilling, Tang Yuanyao murmured: "What did you say 'seven steps into a poem', who didn't know that it was prepared in advance? It's just read out at this time." The voice was not too loud, just falling into the ears of the surrounding women and Xu Wanzhen middle.

Ladies are thoughtful, yes, whether it is read or written, it is all prepared in advance, and the shock brought by "Seven Steps to Poetry" is much smaller.

"I said he was talented, but he turned out to be a cunning one!" Shi Jingfu, the second daughter of Duke Anguo's mansion, said disdainfully.

Xu Wanzhen paused, turned around and looked at Tang Yuanyao with a half-smile, with pity in her eyes.Seeing that her heart was trembling, she was about to say something, but Xu Wanzhen looked away, moved her lotus steps lightly, and took a step forward, saying: "The first step."

"You're still here?" The girls were surprised.This first song can be said to be prepared in advance, what about the second one?

Only hearing Xu Wanzhen's deserted voice, Xu Xu chanted: "The peony in front of the court is invincible, and the flower on the pond is pure and unfeeling. Only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital moves when it blooms." Following the sixth step, she Say the last word "city".

This time the room is no longer whispering, a noble lady shouted: "Six steps! I counted, and she only took six steps!"

"A wonderful poem! It's really wonderful! It's even better than the one just now!"

Some people recited it repeatedly and sighed: "This word and sentence are really ingenious! You can't get it by changing a word. How can you recite it in just six steps? It's unbelievable, really unbelievable!"

The literature of the Gaomang Dynasty was prosperous, and even ordinary people could sing a few lines of poems and make songs.Not to mention Luoyang, the political and cultural center of the entire Gaomang Dynasty?What's more, all the people gathered here are the daughters of top dignitaries?

Depressed in the boudoir, their love and study of poetry far surpassed their modern peers.Seeing the birth of a wonderful poem with their own eyes, how can this not make them crazy?

Tang Yuanyao clenched her back molars, and she actually called me "Shaoyao demon has no qualifications"?
Tu Manfen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed the current hurdle safely.Unexpectedly, this Xu Wan really has poetic talent.She is quite specialized in poetry, and Xu Wanzhen can surpass her in this field, which makes her put away a lot of jealousy.

However, Tu Manzhen was very unhappy in her heart.Although Mrs. Li repeatedly told her that the three cousins ​​were one, she just wanted to see Xu Wanzhen look deflated.Unexpectedly, she would not be able to make things difficult for her, and it would even make him show off.

Xu Wanzhen looked around, seeing the reactions of the girls in her eyes, stopped talking, lowered her eyes and saluted upwards, and slowly returned to her seat in the corner to sit down.

But at this moment, the way the girls looked at her had changed, and they could no longer ignore her.

Xu Wanzhen's back was straight, but she was very happy in her heart.

During the days when she arrived in Beijing, as long as she had free time, she would read history books to learn about the origin of the Gaomang Dynasty.This is indeed ancient China. According to history books, both the pre-Qin and the Han were present. It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when Emperor Wen of Sui established the Sui Dynasty, that history diverged.

The Sui Dynasty was no longer the second emperor, and Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was not a tyrannical and stupid emperor. He built the Grand Canal, built the imperial capital Luoyang, formulated the imperial examination system, and realized the centralization of power. Mingjun.Yang Guang's posthumous title is no longer Sui Yangdi, but Sui Chengdi.

The Sui Dynasty experienced five emperors. In the last years, all the heroes competed for the throne, and the world was in chaos.

The founding emperor of the Gaomang Dynasty was Wei Kai, the prefect of Gaomang County at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and was excluded by the court.Later, because he helped refugees during the war, his political opponents impeached him to buy people's hearts, and he was suspected by the then emperor Yang Li.

Because the Wei family has great influence in Gaomang County, Yang Li recalled him to the palace to kill him.Fortunately, with the help of the eunuch Chen Dehai, he escaped from birth.Going back to Gaomang County to pull up an army and achieve this unworldly foundation, this is the unheard of Gaomang Dynasty.

But history seems to have its own inertia. Although the Tang Dynasty is gone and the capital is not in Chang'an, the customs and customs of the Gaomang Dynasty are still full of the romantic atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

But those famous poets, literati, and military generals in the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Liu Yuxi, Wang Wei, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Yuchi Jingde, etc., were swept away by the river of history, and there is no record in the history books.

Counting the age, these celebrities in the early Tang Dynasty corresponded to the current historical time, which happened to be the third and fourth emperors of the Sui Dynasty.Perhaps it is really in response to the phrase "time makes heroes"?Without such an era, there would be no such important ministers of civil and military affairs, and without the prosperous Tang Dynasty, where would we find Li Bai?

Although Xu Wanzhen was not a liberal arts student in modern times, she was born in China and was familiar with these poems and songs since she was a child.In modern times, which child has not recited "Three Hundred Tang Poems"?What's more, her parents have been strict with her since she was a child, and she is even more familiar with it.

Right now, it just happened to fulfill her.Not to mention two peony poems, even if there are ten, she can do it, but they are not as appropriate and wonderful as these two poems.
