Chapter 156 Lovers get married

Chapter 165
Li Bai and Zhang Xuan——

Many dignitaries present immediately remembered the recent incident of Li Bai's invitation to fight against Zhang Xuan, and seeing Princess Wanchun trying her best to instigate things, they couldn't help laughing secretly, knowing that there will be a lively event tonight, they can't help but look forward to it.

There is no doubt about Li Bai's poetic talent. Although he is a bit arrogant about his talent, his talent is recognized by the world.And Zhang Xuan became famous when he was young, and he can be regarded as a well-known young scholar in Chang'an City, and he is known as the number one talented man in Chang'an.How can the passionate collision of these two talents not attract people's attention and expectations?

Li Bai felt so relieved.He was worrying about how to get Zhang Xuan to take the initiative to stand up without losing his demeanor, and then he calmly suppressed him in terms of talent. First, suppressing Zhang Xuan gave Li Chiying a bad breath, and second, he also exchanged for a win for himself. Prince Li Heng favored the opportunity to fight for the chance to become an official again.

From this point of view, Li Bai's city and knowledge are actually slightly inferior.

He never thought about it at all, although the Tang court is now in the hands of Li Heng, the prince of Jian Guo in name, but in fact it is Zhang Xuan and Yang Guozhong who really control the situation.

If Li Bai offends Zhang Xuan, no matter how much Li Heng appreciates him, he will definitely not give him a chance.

Li Chiying sat there quietly, her heart was agitated and very complicated.

Naturally, she was well aware of the "twists and turns" involved, but she didn't wake up Li Bai.In Li Chiying's view, Li Bai was only suitable to be a scholar, not an official, although he was talented and learned.Because his mind is too "simple", he must suffer in the officialdom.

Therefore, Li Bai was once recommended by her, and was once trusted by Li Longji, and was favored for a while.But after a while, he was disgusted by Li Longji and "give the money back".At that time, Li Chiying did not plead for Li Bai, but felt that he was not suitable to stay in the court.So far, Li Chiying still thinks so.

But Li Bai's temperament is very stubborn, and it can even be said to be a little headstrong.Li Chiying had no choice but to keep silent, let Li Bai touch a soft nail, and then he would die of the idea of ​​becoming an official.

Now that Li Chiying is thinking of living in seclusion, she naturally hopes that Li Bai can accompany her to go into seclusion.

Princess Wanchun is so enthusiastic, and her attitude of encouraging Zhang Xuan and Li Bai to fight poetry is very obvious. Li Heng looked at it and smiled, then turned to look at Zhang Xuan who was beside him and said loudly, "Zizhan, sister Wanchun invites you to compose poems." Le, do you intend to produce another excellent work, which will also open the eyes of Bengong and you?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at Wan Chun, smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have been busy with state affairs and military affairs recently, and my mind is exhausted. Let's forget about composing poems."

Li Heng chuckled, but he didn't force Zhang Xuan.

No one expected that Zhang Xuan would avoid and not respond.

Wan Chun pouted in disappointment, and said loudly, "General Zhang is really disappointing. How can there be no poems on such a beautiful day?"

Zhang Xuan frowned, stood up and cupped his hands, "Your Highness Wanchun, it is a good day and festival, and there will be no shortage of poems. Those who are present today are many famous people from the Tang Dynasty. You may wish to open your hearts and show what you have learned, and have fun with the people—— As for Zhang, please forgive me for my duties, guarding the safety of the capital, and protecting the safety of His Highness and all the adults, so I cannot accompany you."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, bowed his hands to the crowd, and returned to his seat with a smile.What he meant was very clear. He was the general of the two guards, and he was in charge of the security of the capital. On a major festival like today, he was even more responsible for protecting the capital.

I have to say that Zhang Xuan's excuse is very appropriate and wonderful.

Considering his current position of power, there is really no need to fight with anyone on such occasions, and such things as talent, are all boring false names, and the current him does not need these vain things.

no need.

Many people knew that he simply didn't want to respond to Li Bai's invitation to fight, but they couldn't say anything.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Xuan didn't even look at Li Bai.

This made Li Bai very upset.

……

……

After drinking for three rounds, Li Bai suddenly got up and went out again, knelt down in front of Yang Yuhuan, and said loudly, "Li Bai begs the mother to give me three glasses of fine wine!"

Li Bai came towards Zhang Xuan, although Zhang Xuan didn't respond, but Zhang Xuan's face was swept away.

Although Yang Yuhuan was not very happy in her heart, she couldn't dampen everyone's interest, so she waved her hand and asked the maid to serve Li Bai three glasses of fine wine.

Li Bai thanked him, then got up and drank down his glass in a chic manner.After drinking, taking advantage of the drunkenness, Li Bai turned around and bowed to the crowd, and chanted loudly——

When will the blue sky and the moon come? I will stop drinking today and ask:
People can't get to the bright moon, but the moon travels with people?
As bright as a flying mirror facing Dan Que, the green smoke is exhausted and the clear hair shines?
But seeing the night come from the sea, Ning knows if Xiang Yunjian is there?
The white rabbit smashes medicine for autumn and spring, who is Chang'e lonely next to?
Today people do not see the ancient times and the moon, this month once looked like the ancients.
The ancients and the modern people see the bright moon as the same.
I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines in Jinzun.
The charm and momentum of Li Bai's poem are excellent.

The moonlight was bright and the lights were flickering. He stood tall and chanted calmly, all in one go, which aroused warm applause.

"it is good!"

"It's a good thing that people today don't see the moon in ancient times, but this month once illuminated the ancients!"

Everyone praised him one after another, and Li Heng couldn't help applauding, saying, "Good poem! It's worthy of being a fairy in the poem! Come, give Li Taibai fine wine, safflower, and jade belt!"

Zhang Xuan smiled calmly, and was naturally easygoing with everyone, applauded and said hello softly.

"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness." Li Bai laughed loudly, still standing in his own position, drinking heavily one after another, his demeanor was unrestrained but extremely chic, which seduced many noble ladies in Chang'an to secretly wink.

Li Bai put down his wine cup, and suddenly turned his head to look in Li Chiying's direction, his voice became low and soft, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, my lords, when Li Bai left Chang'an, there was an old work that has been buried in my heart and is unknown today. Just in time for the meeting, it’s time to express my heart—”

"Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang'an. Luowei cries in autumn at Jinjinglan, slightly frosty and desolate and cold. The solitary lamp is incomprehensible, looking at the moon and sky and sighing, the beauty is like a flower separated from the clouds. Above is the long sky of green and dark, and below is Lu The waves of the water. The sky is long and the road is far away, the soul is flying and suffering, and the dream is difficult if the soul does not reach Guanshan. Long-term lovesickness destroys the heart."

Li Bai chanted softly, his voice was low and mournful, as if weeping and complaining.

Li Chiying's heart trembled, and endless sentimentality floated on her charming jade face. Sitting there, her eyes turned red, and she burst into tears.She got up slowly and floated into the arena.

Under the focus of everyone's eyes, Li Chiying's eyebrows and eyes flashed thousands of tenderness, and she faced Li Bai silently, completely forgetting what the occasion was today, and she even held her hands and looked at her teary eyes, looking infatuated.

The affair between Li Chiying and Li Bai, a talented scholar and beautiful woman, was nothing new in Chang'an City.It's just that the two of them expressed it in public without any scruples, which surprised most people.

Zhang Xuan was very surprised, too surprised.

He never imagined that Princess Yuzhen and Li Bai were lovers. This...he couldn't help but secretly laughed, staring deeply at the two with affectionate brows, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Li Chiying took the initiative to reach out and grab Li Bai's hand. The two of them knelt down in front of Yang Yuhuan and Li Heng, and said quietly, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Jianguo, Yuzhen has been alone for decades. Read all the world's lead... Now Meng Qinglang will not give up, Yuzhen boldly asks to return to vulgarity, marry Qinglang and live in seclusion, so as to save the rest of his life. Please allow your highness."

Li Chiying's title and title Shiyi was very deprived, but in the end he was still the elder of the royal family.Li Heng got up slightly embarrassed and leaned over to help her and Li Bai. Before he could speak, Yang Yuhuan sighed softly, "Sister Yuzhen has found a happy home, and I am happy for you too... Tonight, during the Shangyuan Festival, this palace, the crown prince and all the adults will bear witness, and wish Yuzhen sister and Li Baiqinse a happy marriage together and grow old together!"

When Yang Yuhuan said this, Li Heng naturally had no objections.

……

……

The enthusiasm for fighting poems was diluted a lot by Li Bai and Li Chiying's concubine love.Many royal family members present kept getting up to toast and congratulate Li Chiying and Li Bai. Even Yang Guozhong couldn't bear his face and raised his glass to congratulate.

Zhang Xuan glanced in Cui Ying's direction, seeing Cui Ying's pretty face flushed and slightly hesitant.I know that although Cui Ying severed her mother-daughter relationship with Li Chiying in person, her heart is extremely soft. After time passed, she remembered all the benefits that Princess Yuzhen treated her before. Today, Princess Yuzhen has a lover. Getting married, the heart is also agitated.

I really want to toast a glass of wine, but I can't save face.

Zhang Xuan smiled, then stood up and went over to hold Cui Ying's hand.

The two have been in love with each other for a long time, and they have a good understanding, and they can understand each other's mind with just one look.

Cui Ying blushed, and obediently followed behind Zhang Xuan, and the two of them walked towards Yuzhen and Li Bai's seats with wine cups.

Zhang Xuan walked up to him, raised his glass and laughed, "Your Highness Yuzhen, Zhang Xuan and Ying Er wish your Highness a happy marriage!"

Li Chiying was taken aback, she didn't expect that Zhang Xuan and Cui Ying would come to toast regardless of the past, which obviously had the intention of actively repairing it.

Her mind was agitated for a while, she got up and nodded to Zhang Xuan, thanking Zhang Xuan.Immediately looking at Cui Ying behind Zhang Xuan, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she sighed softly, "Ying Er—are you okay?"

Cui Ying's eyes turned red, and she slowly lowered her head.

Some relationships are broken when they are broken, and there is no possibility of repairing them. This is the reason why the so-called flooding is hard to recover.

Cui Ying is actually very understanding, knowing that Yuzhen has such and such reasons and difficulties, but she can't accept it anyway. Yuzhen helps outsiders deal with her husband.

This is an unsolvable knot.Even though Cui Ying no longer blames Yuzhen, the knot in her heart cannot be solved after all.

Cui Ying gave Yu Zhen a blessing, without saying a word, she turned around and walked back silently.

Li Chiying felt sad, looked at Cui Ying's delicate back, bit her lips tightly, and couldn't help crying.

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, and was about to turn around and leave, when Li Bai suddenly yelled softly, "General Zhang, stop!"

Zhang Xuan frowned, knowing that Li Bai still didn't give up.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan already guessed that Li Bai repeatedly found fault with himself and invited him to compete in poetry and prose. .

Thinking of this, a tinge of anger rose in his heart: I respect you as a celebrity, and I will save you some face, but I can't be shameless like this!
