Tiantang

Chapter 33

Chapter 037
Princess Yuzhen is Li Longji's same mother and sister, and she has a good relationship with Li Longji.When she was young, she tied her hair and pretended to become a monk and became a fake Taoist priest. She lived in seclusion in Yuzhen Temple outside the city to cultivate her body and mind.However, she was not willing to be lonely, and gathered scholars and ladies in Chang'an City to feast and have fun all day long, and she was very famous.

In this era, she is also one of the most powerful women in Datang.

Zhang Xuan didn't dare to be negligent, and took the initiative to take a step forward to say hello, "Zhang Xuan has met Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen."

Li Chiying smiled lightly, and looked Zhang Xuan deeply up and down, "You are Zhang Jiuling's youngest son, Zhang Xuan? In the past two days, your name has made me feel like thunder..."

"Your Highness is too famous, Zhang Xuan dare not."

Li Chiying waved his hand, "Continue reciting poems, I will also take a look at you, a peerless talent who surpasses the three heroes of Chang'an, what kind of talent is it?"

……

……

Zhang Xuan continued to walk to the desk, and without any hesitation, he picked up the pen and wrote.

But Mrs. Guo Guo, who was sitting on the side, was wondering: She didn't have a deep friendship with Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying, and she had almost no contact with her. Why did she suddenly bring a girl from the Cui family to come to her door today?Where did it come from?
But before she could think about it further, Zhang Xuan's poem was completed in a short while, and he held the scroll in both hands, and handed it to Gao Lishi.

Although it is a poem written for Mrs. Guo Guo, because the emperor and the imperial concubine are by his side, the "right of review" and evaluation right at first glance must be given to the emperor first.

Li Longji glanced at Zhang Xuan, and said lightly, "Lishi, read."

"Mrs. Guo Guo accepted the Lord's favor and entered the palace on a horse. But she disliked the color of makeup and powder, so she swept her brows lightly and turned to the Supreme."

Gao Lishi's signature low-pitched voice echoed in the hall.Gao Lishi secretly exclaimed while reciting, and couldn't help secretly casting a surprised glance at Zhang Xuan.

In Gao Lishi's view, Zhang Xuan is not only talented and knowledgeable, but also has extraordinary chest. The poem is not gorgeous, but it is wonderful when used here and now.

Not only showed his talent, but also made the emperor feel very comfortable, with a good sense of proportion.

Gao Lishi really knew the emperor behind him too well. If Zhang Xuan made that kind of ordinary "erotic poem" or praised Mrs. Guo Guo in the poem, he would definitely plant a bad impression in his heart.

Once this impression is planted, it will be difficult to change, and as a result, Zhang Xuan's future political future will be worrying.

Sure enough, as soon as Gao Lishi's voice fell, Li Longji couldn't help but slapped the desk loudly and praised, "It's wonderful, I know that my third aunt doesn't like makeup, she's not good at dressing up, even if she goes to see me in the palace, she won't change her original intention... …with a few words, the image is moving, brilliant and incisive!"

Concubine Yang Gui also echoed, repeatedly praising.

Li Chiying raised her slender eyebrows lightly, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, she stared deeply at Zhang Xuan again, her heart moved, and she turned her head to look at Cui Ying who was sitting beside her.

Cui Ying looked at Zhang Xuan who was calm and calm in the field with a little absent-mindedness, the complicated light in her eyes flickered.

Although the two have a marriage contract, which has not yet been dissolved, they are actually strangers.In the past, for the three young masters of the Zhang family, Cui Ying, who had eyes above the top and was quite talented, had always despised them and avoided them. She had never met Zhang Xuan before the poetry banquet organized by Mrs. Guo Guo.

A slutty dandy whom he looked down upon in the past suddenly turned into a peerless talent... For Cui Ying, it was not only a shocking thing, but also a bit dazed, a bit bewildered, a bit moved, and a bit ashamed.

Although she did not hesitate to "threat" her father to withdraw her idea of ​​retiring the marriage under the pretext of "being a monk", but this is a subconscious of her noble personality, and it does not mean that she was moved when she saw Zhang Xuan's talent.Even though Zhang Xuan is still that dandy, she will do the same when the Zhang family is in danger.

Without hesitation.Just for the true temperament and persistence in my heart.This is Cui Ying.

……

……

Mrs. Guo Guo happily took Zhang Xuan's "Poetry" from Gao Lishi's hand, and said with a flattering smile, "Come here, hurry up and frame it. The servant's house will be hung in the bedroom, and you can watch it from time to time."

Seeing that everyone, including the emperor, praised him, Zhang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.This is a poem written by Zhang Hu, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty, with the title of Mrs. Guo, and he copied it from the original version.Zhang Hu's poem actually hides a bit of irony, but it is only placed in the current scene. The "metaphor" of this poem cannot be reflected, and what it shows is only a sketch of Mrs. Guo's distinctive personality and the status quo of her life.

As Zhang Xuan walked back to his seat, seeing Pei Hui, a young man behind Mrs. Guo Guo, cast a shocked glance at him, he smiled to himself, but quickened his pace.

Seeing that Cui Ying was slightly distracted, Li Chiying vaguely guessed her exquisite thoughts, and couldn't help but smiled and said in a low voice, "Ying'er, mother, I see that this piece of Xuan is very talented, beautiful and calm, and he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. You are If Cui Ju is really allowed to withdraw from the marriage, won't my Yinger lose a good marriage in vain?"

"Yinger, don't worry, your mother will decide everything for you."

Cui Ying's face suddenly flushed when she heard this, and she called "Mother" in a low voice, then hurriedly lowered her head, tugged at her skirt and remained silent.However, she is not "shame" of being shy, but "shame" of being ashamed. Li Chiying's unintentional remark of "you have a bit of knowledge" almost made Cui Ying want to hide her face in embarrassment. and go.

Li Chiying didn't know that Cui Ying already had a deep knot in her heart towards Zhang Xuan.She had sealed the door of her heart firmly for several years, but now she wants to open it on her own initiative, how embarrassing is it?

……

……

Yang Yuhuan stretched out her scalloped jade arms, picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it gracefully into the small cherry mouth, chewed and swallowed gently, and then smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Jiuling's youngest son, Zhang Xuan, is not very successful. It is impossible to imagine that his talent and learning are as high as that of Li Taibai back then."

When Li Longji saw Yang Yuhuan mentioning Li Bai, who was so dissolute back then, he felt a little displeased. He turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan and said with a faint smile, "Although Li Bai has some talent and learning, but he is too proud of his talent. In fact, he exaggerates the truth. My view of Zhang Xuan Xuan, although young, is more talented than Li Bai. Zhang Xuan, I'm here to ask you—"

"Zhang Xuan is here." Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"I heard that you abused and mocked Li Linfu at the Qujiang Poetry Banquet... Is there such a thing?" Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand.

As soon as Li Longji said this, Mrs. Guo Guo gasped, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Xuan, and couldn't help but sweat for him.But Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying's expression changed, and she also turned to look at Zhang Xuan.Cui Ying beside her changed her pretty face. Although she was still sitting with her head bowed, her two little hands were tightly held together.
