Chapter 50 The Great General's Birthday Banquet (Part 2)(1/2)
Chen Xuanli's eyes were smiling in a crack. He found that he liked this kid more and more. The emperor actually had such a decisive and handsome son, and he had a successor!
Chen Xuanli stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Highness's poems are very suitable for me. I just heard two lines of poetry written by Your Highness. Why don't a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan? I feel very moved. My title is, please write this poem!"
It turned out that Gao Xuan had published this poem. Li Xiu pretended to be pondering for a moment, clasped his fists and said to Li Shizhi: "Li Xiangguo is a great master of calligraphy. Can he write for me?"
"Can!"
Li Shi agreed, and he took the paper and pen, spread the paper and smiled, "Please tell me your highness!"
Li Xiu walked with his hands behind his back and said slowly:
"Why don't a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan?
Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, what if you are a scholar, a marquis of ten thousand households?"
The big tent was boiling, and there were a lot of warm cheers and applause...
Li Cui's face suddenly turned like a mortal. He had already obtained what he wanted today, so he knew he should leave.
He would never hand over Lin Jinyi given by his father, so he could only ask his father for help.
………………
Gongsun Xiaomei came one step later and did not see the grandmaster's excellence. She heard this everywhere, especially she heard some of the things she hated the most.
"Thirty-eight men are very talented and tall and heroic. I heard that they have not been married yet. Mrs. Yang, this is your daughter's chance to marry."
"Yes! I think it's very good, he moved me so much. Our Hongnong Yang family is also a famous family. I'll go back and discuss with the master."
………….
"Sister Ayun, let's go find Li Xiu! Please write a poem for us too."
"It's an excuse to write poetry! The little girl is in spring."
"Sister Ayun, aren't you the same? When she looked at him, her eyes were straight."
………….
Gongsun Xiaomei was upset and looked around, where did this bastard go?
She suddenly felt a little blamed on Senior Sister Zi, why did Senior Sister Zi pull herself and not let herself come over?
At this time, Gongsun Xiaomei suddenly saw Li Xiu. In an open tent, there was a gorgeous woman next to her. Oh! Isn’t that woman Gao Xuan?
Li Xiu felt the unrestrained side of the Tang Dynasty women. He was pulled directly to the pavilion by Gao Xuan. There were more than a dozen young women around him looking at this side, as if waiting for an opportunity.
"Your Highness, I said that we will meet again if we are destined to be together, right?"
"Yes! The word "Yes" is indeed wonderful. It can only be understood but not conceived."
Gao Xuan laughed sweetly again and said, "It's a pity that this is the General's camp, not Xuanhua Lefang."
"Huh! The girl is also in Xuanhua Lefang?" Li Xiu suddenly remembered that Pei Min said that Yang Yuhuan was learning dance and music in Xuanhua Lefang.
"I am the owner of the museum. Could it be that Your Highness has a friend in Xuanhua Lefang?"
"No friends!"
Li Xiu shook his head quickly, "I heard that it is very famous as soon as I arrived in Luoyang."
Gao Xuan saw Gongsun Xiaomei and smiled and said, "It seems that I can't waste any more time. I want to ask the young master to write another poem for me, specifically for us."
"How can I refuse the girl's request?"
Li Xiu happily agreed, "What topic(s) do the girl want?"
Gao Xuan whispered: "Writing a poem that a woman thinks about the person she loves but cannot get it."
Li Xiu's heart was thrilled. Isn't this talking about himself?
He didn't dare to look up, he felt Gao Xuan's beautiful eyes looking at him hotly.
Li Xiu was panicked, so he picked up his pen, focused for a moment, and wrote a love poem.
On the night of the Lantern Festival last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day.
The moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk.
On the night of the year this year, the moon and the lights are still there.
I didn't see anyone last year, and tears wet the sleeves of the spring shirt.
Gao Xuan clapped her hands happily, "What an interesting poem, I really like it!"
Gao Xuan looked down at the poem, and her pretty face almost touched Li Xiu's face. She blew like orchids in Li Xiu's ear.
"I live in the seventeen tents, and I will wait for you to make an appointment again tonight."
.........
"Young Master is really a love saint. I write poems for this woman and poems for that woman. When will you write a poem for me?"
Li Xiu was constantly stopped by the young girl and beg for poetry. Her little eyebrows were jealous and did not give the young women any chance, so she pulled Li Xiu away.
"I wrote one for Gao Xuan, but no one else wrote it! Besides, it's not easy for you to want poetry. I practice calligraphy every night and write a large stack of poems. Aren't you all dealing with it? If you like it, take one."
Xiaomei gritted her teeth with regret and said, "You are sending beggars!"
Li Xiu liked to see her angry look. He smiled and said, "There was a beautiful lady named Gongsun who danced a sword and moved everywhere. The viewer was as depressed as the mountains, and the world was low for a long time... This is for you."
The little eyebrows softened. This guy is quite conscientious, but... am I so powerful?
At this time, the butler hurried over and bowed and said, "Your Highness, my master is invited!"
The opportunity that Li Xiu had been waiting for finally came.
…………
Chen Xuanli met Li Xiu in his big tent.
He sat at the table and read it over and over again. This song was collected by Guanshan and Fifty Prefectures made him love it.
"I'm going to paper it and hang it in my study. Thank you for your poem."
"You don't have to be polite to the general. Poems are fate. I write them as I like. The general meets them as I like. This poem is destined to be fate of the general."
"I feel at ease, ha! ha!"
Chen Xuanli smiled and said, "Your Highness will soon be troubled. Just now, Li Xiangguo was competing with me for this poem, and almost turned red. He said I am not a scholar, and I said you didn't go to Guanshan either!"
Li Xiu laughed dryly and said embarrassedly: "Writing poetry is inspired by inspiration, and it cannot be written just by wanting it. I don't know why. Although this is a military camp, I feel that my literary spirit is very strong, so I can be inspired."
This flattery was so good that Chen Xuanli was really willing to accept it, and he looked at Li Xiu with admiration again.
"Your Highness also knows that Li Sheng and Li Cui are the representatives of the Emperor and the Regent. They have the best resources and the most information. Frankly speaking, it is unlikely that Your Highness will find the princess."
Li Xiu shook his head, "It's up to people. My mother is still in the cold palace. I want to make meritorious service and promote my title as soon as possible and rescue my mother. So this time I look for the princess, I am determined to win!"
It is difficult for Chen Xuanli to refuse the favor card and family card.
Chen Xuanli pondered for a moment and said, "I might as well tell Your Highness that I have told Li Cui about Cheng Zhu's whereabouts. This is what I promised the Regent, but Your Highness's filial piety and talent also touched me, and I am willing to help Your Highness with all my strength."
Chen Xuanli’s implication was to tell Li Xiu that he had chosen the Regent, so he politely rejected Li Sheng, but he could help Li Xiu out of personal emotional factors.
Li Xiu was not disappointed when Chen Xuanli chose the sideline. This was not his mission. He was more concerned about where Cheng Zhu hid?
Li Xiu looked at Chen Xuanli expectantly.
Chen Xuanli smiled and said, "Do your highness know where Li Cui lives?"
Li Xiu nodded, "He lives in Mingyifang."
"They will act in the first update tonight, and go out from the south gate. The ancients say that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. If His Highness snatches Cheng Zhu from him, then the Regent can't blame me, but his son can only blame him for his incompetence."
Li Xiu was speechless. Chen Xuanli said nothing, "What the hell is behind? Once Cheng Zhu falls into Li Cui's hands, how could he take it back?"
"The Yellow Bird must also have strength behind us, but we don't have the strength of the Yellow Bird, so it is unlikely that we will turn the tables. Since the general has already let go, why is he indifferent to the end?"
Chen Xuanli shook his head, "Your Highness, I have chosen the Regent, I can't shake it anymore, so I'm sorry, I can only help you so much."
"Is there no chance at all?"
Chen Xuanli hesitated and said, "There are indeed opportunities, but I don't believe that Your Highness can do it."
"You might as well talk about it!"
Chen Xuanli opened the drawer and took out a golden plate from it. There were still two peaches in the last time, one of which was eaten by Li Xiu.
"Your Highness actually only solved one hundred percent of this question. If you can solve the other ninety percent, then I will give up the Regent and turn to the Emperor."
Chen Xuanli looked at Li Xiu deeply, "Does Your Highness have the courage and ability to let me change this decision?"
………………
Li Xiu came out of Chen Xuanli's study and saw Gongsun Xiaomei holding a sword and a box in her hand.
"What's this?"
"This is a prize for the young master. A famous sword called Feidian. There is a pearl in the box. It was given to you by His Highness Zhongwang, and it is also a prize."
"Mingzhu will give it to you, and the sword will be given to Pei Min, so let's go back quickly."
"Young Master, don't you go to see King Zhong?"
To be continued...
