Chapter 192: Slapping people in the face

The princess's mansion rose from the sky, and its momentum was overwhelming half of the city and connected with Yunyu.

Princess Taiping in Zhenguo was prominent in two dynasties. Her mansion was carefully managed for decades, occupying most of the yards. The magnificent and luxurious places were almost as good as the inner palace.

Tang Cheng and Li Longji entered the princess's mansion together. On the way, they opened the curtains of the car beside them and saw the scene of the houses that were full of the sky and the eaves. Even if he came from later generations, he couldn't help but look a little dazed. The princess's mansion was too big, and compared with the mansion in front of him, even the Prime Minister Anguo's Mansion was nothing. As for the so-called luxury villas in later generations, let alone the so-called luxury villas.

Looking through the car window, in addition to the many houses in the princess's mansion, there are many young scholars. Outside the car window, the scholars wearing green collars and Confucian uniforms, either walking alone or in groups from the doorman to the inner courtyard. These scholars were amazed at the magnificent mansion in front of them, and looked at the felt car passing by with interest.

As scholars, they naturally know that only those who are above the third rank are qualified to ride in felt cars. Think about the rituals of the princess's mansion. Those who are not above the prince are not allowed to drive directly into the second door. Then the prince and noble person in front of them are the prince and noble?

These scholars who rushed to the capital to take the exam came from all over the world. They were very honored to see a student in the place before. If they were received by the governor, they would be a smoke from the ancestral grave. It is worth writing a few articles to commemorate and pass on to their descendants. At this moment, they are in the imperial capital and invited by the princess to visit. The carriage of the prince and the nobles is just around the corner. In such a dreamlike and glorious state, they suddenly felt that they had a lot of glory. When they witnessed the felt carriage that Tang Cheng was riding passed by, almost all of them subconsciously straightened their waists and raised their heads.

"Your Highness look outside." He lifted the curtains in his hand. Tang Cheng turned around and smiled at Li Longji: "There were at least two hundred people who came to participate in the literary party today. One out of ten was taken, and the princess took this literary party to capture all the best among the scholars today."

Li Longji looked at the scholars who ran around the princess's door outside the window, and looked at the unstoppable excitement of these scholars pretending to be reserved, and said quietly: "The princess has done this for a long time, but now in the temples and prisons of various imperial cities, a princess's prayer is even more useful than the emperor's edict. This situation is not without cause, but it has its own origins."

After hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded and smiled slightly, "When Emperor Taizong was in the court before, he climbed to the Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City on the day of a scientific examination. When he witnessed the squatters of the city coming, Emperor Taizong laughed and said, "The world's talents are all in my pocket today." This move by the princess is actually a manifestation of Emperor Taizong's legacy."

As a woman, Princess Taiping was compared with the founding Emperor Taizong. Tang Cheng's words were really taboo. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Longji's eyes were taken back from the window and landed tightly on him like a nail.

In the burning gaze of Li Longji, Tang Cheng's face did not change at all. He did not deliberately look at Li Longji, but turned his head to look at the scholars coming and going outside the car window and said in a quiet voice: "The road is long and arduous, and you will definitely search up and down. This is what I am good about, and even if I die nine times, I will never regret it. If I want to reappear the great cause of Emperor Taizong. I will achieve the prosperous era of my Tang Dynasty, your highness will be far away and my journey will be a bit crooked!"

"It's hard to go, but it's hard to go!" Li Longji withdrew his gaze, and for a moment, there was only his increasingly low and powerful murmuring in the huge felt car: "This is what I am good about, even if I die nine times, I still have no regrets..."

The felt truck arrived at the second gate of the Princess Mansion. As soon as the car stopped, the official from the Princess Mansion was waiting at the door to greet him.

"Wuque, since it is not convenient to recommend a princess to you in public, then you should go to the back garden first. After I have met the princess and arranged for a private meeting, someone will come to call you." Li Longji, who had recovered from the normal, gave a statement to Tang Cheng and stepped out of the car and was accompanied by the princess's mansion.

Tang Cheng knew that there was today's meeting the day before yesterday. Because the invitation was Princess Taiping, Tang Cheng was not too casual in dressing like other scholars who came to the meeting. He was wearing a Taoist robe. When he got off the car and walked into the group of scholars, he suddenly became a member of the crowd.

Through the second door and through the third door, under the guidance of the princess's mansion on the roadside, Tang Cheng and other scholars walked into a cross-yard located in the last part of the mansion. The main building of this cross-yard is a row of up to five wing rooms. These five wing rooms are separated into different rooms on weekdays with thick dark curtains. When you encounter something like this today, put away the curtains, and the rows of five rooms are connected into one, and it becomes a spacious hall.

In the Tang Dynasty, the period of time when the food was divided into food was excessive. When the family was together, they would gather together like later generations. However, the formal gatherings and banquets like the current ones were still divided according to the Spring and Autumn etiquette. When Tang Cheng walked into the room, he saw that the entire hall had already arranged the small tables for sharing food, and many of them had already sat on them.

After reporting his name to the servant who was serving, Tang Cheng was taken to a window near the front row.

Tang Cheng sat half kneeling on the felt blanket in front of the shorter table in the same way as other scholars. This sitting position was nothing on TV, but it was really uncomfortable when he practiced it himself. He was not specially trained like other scholars who had been studying since childhood. After kneeling for a while, his calves and heels became sore and numb.

"Damn, I don't even give me a stool when I invite someone to a banquet." After complaining in a low voice, Tang Cheng, who didn't want to suffer any more, simply gave up the haunted half-kneeling and sat cross-legged. The formal banquet occasion half-kneeling and sitting half-kneeling was an ancient ceremony passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period. Scholars as scholars should follow this occasion even more sternly. When Tang Cheng's abnormal behavior came out, the people sitting there immediately looked at each other.

"Is this a crazy person from there? How dare you be so rude in the Princess Taiping Mansion in Zhenguo?"

"'Restraining oneself and returning to rituals' is the most sage and ancestor who has been taught by the most sages. As a scholar, he is so unrestrained that he is a gentleman, and that is a gentleman!"

Although the discussions next to him were clearly audible, Tang Cheng did not change his posture, just look at it, what's the matter! He knew whether his legs and feet were comfortable. Instead of waiting for the article to start, he would be rude and twisted around, it would be better to sit comfortably now.

The discussion in the hall disappeared without a trace after a long time. When Gu Zi looked at the garden outside the window, Tang Cheng turned his head in surprise, he saw a team of female musicians dressed up outside the hall on the other side. It was they who asked the bored scholars in the hall who were waiting for the seat to start divert their attention.

"Look, the one who leads the fairy bun is Liang Panpan, the flower courtesan who is beautiful and overwhelming in the imperial capital."

"She is Liang Panpan of Furong Tower? She is indeed like a lotus and eyebrows like a willow, and she is such a romantic and pretty lady."

"Liang Panpan is beautiful, but he is old after all. Look at the little lady behind her again. This is the real natural romantic life." After saying this, the voice "tsk" and exclaimed twice, he continued: "If you talk about the popularity of flowers in the city today, you have to recommend this youthful and prosperous Yazhengyuan Qihei."

Tang Cheng turned his head to look at the discussion, and saw Liang Panpan, who was picking up his skirt and entering the hall. This famous courtesan is indeed as beautiful as a flower. It is even rare that she exudes a quiet and gentle charm all over her body, which makes her look so charming and I feel pity.

Compared with Liang Panpan's Chuchu style, Qizhi is beautiful and ostentatious. The combination of her natural charm and youthful vitality is like a cone in her pocket. She can't even hide it. Although she was arranged after Liang Panpan, when the person in the hall noticed her, she almost instantly became the focus of the whole hall.

There is really telepathy in this world. Just as Tang Cheng followed everyone's attention, Qi Zhi turned his head and saw him. He looked at him with his eyes facing each other. With his eyes close to him, Qi Zhi's eyebrows and eyes were flowing with waves in his eyes.

Qiori's affectionate smile made her look even more beautiful, and what followed was a humble admiration in the hall.

"The smile is graceful. The beautiful eyes are waiting for you, the head is full of eyebrows, and the beauty is like that!".

"A smile makes the city fascinate. After Liang Panpan, he will definitely have two points in the spring scenery in Chang'an. When the gold list is on the list in the future, if this woman joins hands and travels together, she will live up to her success in life."

When Tang Cheng heard the scholars' discussions intriguing, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically. These people were really ridiculous. They had not half-kneeled and sat down to make them scolded them. However, they praised women for being romantic in public. It would be better if they didn't want such "rituals".

Looking at Qizhi's eyes, Tang Cheng thought for a moment and realized that she was excited to compete with Liang Panpan. Tang Cheng shook his head and was too lazy to listen to the boring scholars' comments, but just smiled and raised his thumbs up at Qizhi.

Seeing that Tang Cheng understood his thoughts so well, Qiori smiled happily again. The beauty was full of beauty, which made the scholars both amazed and surprised. They turned their heads to look at Tang Cheng inexplicably. They really didn't understand how such a beauties could give their eyes to the crazy person who didn't even talk about etiquette and law.

However, these are small episodes before the banquet. As Liang Panpan and others arrived and the guests in the seat became more and more crowded, the musicians each played the tune of "Xi Yangyang".

Together with this song, the scholars who were originally talking about it quickly became quiet. Everyone knew that the landlord of the Wenhui banquet should arrive today.

Thinking that he would soon meet the legendary figure in history, the honorable and favored princess Zhenguo, who was powerful in the court and the country, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and quietly sat upright in the cheerful tune.

Just as the music of "Xi Yangyang" reached its happiest climax, surrounded by princes and relatives such as Li Longji, Princess Taiping arrived.

No matter how concerned Princess Taiping's clothes and makeup are, the first thing she notices is still the phoenix eyes.

Her eyes are big and narrow, and if her face is so stern, it will be powerful; if her face is full of spring breeze, her whole eyes will appear warm and warm, and even if it is sometimes turned to the flow, it will show a little bit of charm.

Even though she had already asked Li Longji before, when Princess Taiping stood in front of her, it was hard for Tang Cheng to believe that she was nearly fifty years old. Whether in later generations or now, forty-nine years old is a fatal age for a woman, but this is not felt at all in Princess Taiping. She was supported by two maids and looked at her for up to thirty years, and her whole body was filled with the mature beauty of a woman, especially when her natural appearance combined with her strong confidence, Princess Taiping, who walked in with her head held high, had another completely unmixed beauty.

The moment when Taiping Gong stepped into the hall, Tang Cheng and the scholars stood up at the same time. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this special woman.

When she saw the ceremony, Princess Taiping and her party sat opposite Tang Cheng and other scholars through the dance hall. As for the subsequent meeting and the host's speech, they were all official articles. However, Tang Cheng saw Princess Taiping's talent and skills from this official article, and he cited the scriptures and learned from the classics at will, especially the skill of grasping people's hearts while speaking was perfect. As her words, these young and arrogant scholars in the hall were so excited that they were excited and passionate.

In this process, Princess Taiping, who held the imperial examination limit and had countless halos, was naturally regarded by the scholars as the men to appreciate their talents.

Before the imperial examination began, Princess Taiping had already used her resources and identity to calm down all the best among the current scholars.

Looking at the woman who combines identity, power, beauty and all kinds of women citing classics, and then looking at the scholars who are inspired and excited. After breaking out of the barriers of historical records, Tang Cheng really felt the terror of Princess Taiping.

The road is long and arduous, and Li Longji's road is really hard to walk on!

After Princess Taiping finished speaking, she ate the whole room with a cup of wine. At this point, today's banquet for the literary party officially began.

When the banquet was held, there was no need to sing and dance. The first person to perform was Liang Panpan, the most famous person in the courtesan. Her poems were mainly about the joy and leisure of men and women and the joy of the countryside. The poems were accompanied by soft dances, especially the song "Liuyao" was danced delicately and twisted by her, exposing the feminine beauty of a woman. Several times when she suddenly fell down, the sergeants in the hall couldn't help but exclaim, fearing that her graceful waist would break.

After Liang Panpan finished singing and dancing, he won the sound of thunder in the hall, and even Tang Cheng couldn't help but praise him. No matter what, Liang Panpan's skills are indeed worthy of appreciation.

After Liang Panpan led the song and danced, Qizhi came out. As soon as she stood on the thick Persian carpet on the dance floor, the music in the hall changed suddenly, from leisure to passionate. At the opening was the song "The Road to Shu" that was highly praised by Yu Dongjun and He Zhizhang.

Oh, the show is so dangerous!

Qizhi's voice was clear and high, and it made people feel as if they were at the height of Shu Mountain and were extremely dangerous. After that, they were talking endlessly like Shu water slapped stones, and the rapids passed through the sky. What was even more rare was that with such a high-pitched and bold long song, Qizhi danced the most masculine Hu Tengwu in the dance.

The singing is bold and the dancing is strong. Although Qizhi's singing and dancing skills are slightly worse than Liang Panpan. However, because his chosen poems are too prominent, the singing and dancing are intimate with the heart of the hall. Therefore, they dance all the way, and the atmosphere in the hall is climaxed at the beginning of the banquet.

In recent months, with the four scholars of Wuzhong, He Jizhen and Zhang Chunjiang spared no effort to promote it, the song "The Road to Shu" which was praised by the observation of Shandong East Road has long been spread throughout the Chang'an Shilin. With an emotional excitement, the young and passionate scholars in the hall were unbearable and there were many responding and singing. The scene was as hot as the night when the Daya Zhizheng Park opened.

Seeing such a hot atmosphere in the hall, Tang Chengchang, holding chopsticks in his hand, exhaling a breath, he knew that Qizhi valued the singing and dancing with Liang Panpan this time. Although there were tricks at present, Qizhi's effect was not inferior to Liang Panpan, but also won vaguely based on the effect it created.

This girl should be happy now! Tang Cheng, who was relieved, raised his cup and drank with a smile on his face. He looked up in a moving way, just in the air with Princess Taiping's eyes looking over.

His position was placed in front of the scholar's mat, not far from Princess Taiping, so he could see it clearly.

After Tang Cheng saw Li Longji whispering something on the side of Princess Taiping, he naturally understood the origin of the admiration in Princess Taiping's eyes when he looked at him. Needless to say, Li Longji must have whispered to the princess that he was the "author" of this song "The Road to Shu".

Princess Taiping nodded with a smile, while carefully looking Tang Cheng up and down with admiration. When she saw that he was sitting cross-legged, she still looked a little surprised and surprised on her face.

At this moment, Tang Cheng held up the wine cup in front of him with both hands and asked to drink with a smile from the air. After a little surprised, Princess Taiping suddenly smiled and reached out to hold up the wine cup in front of him and drank it with Tang Cheng.

Princess Taiping put down the wine cup and smiled again, turned her head and whispered to Li Longji in the noise. Seeing her frequent attention to Tang Cheng's eyes, she knew that the content of her inquiry must be inseparable from this Tang Wuque who could write "The Road to Shu" and dared to be careless and unceremonious during her banquet.

"I don't know what she will say when I really meet in private later?" After this thought flashed through my mind, Tang Cheng simply threw the matter aside and enjoyed the rare high-level singing and dancing in front of him.

The singing and dancing lasted for nearly half an hour, and the scholars in the hall were already drunk, as the musical instruments such as the pipa teeth plate came to an abrupt end, and today's banquet at the Wenshe Festival reached a critical moment.

Princess Taiping and others left the seat for the time being. The scholars also put down their wine cups and left to the cold back garden outside the hall. During the three incense sticks, the scholars attending the meeting today must write a poem, and hand it over to the princess and the princes to evaluate it, and then when they gathered in the hall, they used the method of painting the walls of the chess pavilion to sing the winners.

The importance of this poem about writing poems to the attendees is beyond words. So, when they first sent away the princess and her party together, the scholars immediately rushed out after asking about the poems at the servants' office, for fear of delaying any time in the poems.

Tang Cheng had made up his mind to not participate in the literary meeting today. Since he didn't need to write poetry, he was very leisurely. Shi Shiran got up and walked out of the hall slowly into the garden. However, due to the wrong season, there was really no scenery to enjoy in the garden. After walking around the garden casually, Tang Cheng, who was impatient with the cold weather, turned around and walked into the hall.

Bypassing the door of the back garden, Tang Cheng just walked into the yard and heard a loud noise coming from the hall where he had just had a banquet.

As soon as he heard the noise of seven textured sounds faintly, Tang Cheng immediately changed his leisurely and ran in.

The main hall was in chaos. Originally, the seat of Princess Taiping and others was now in a mess. Behind the seat was a space covered by a heavy curtain, which Liang Panpan and others had just changed their clothes and rested. At this time, the curtain had been lifted up. A young man was dragging people out of the curtain. The person he was dragging was scolding and resisting. There were also several singing girls and servants who were accompanying each other, either pulling or persuading them. The whole scene was really chaotic.

When Tang Cheng entered the hall, he saw that he was drunk and was dragging people. It was his old acquaintance Xue Dong in Yangzhou. The one he was dragged by Qizhi. Because he was concerned about Xue Dong's identity, the servants who served him started to do nothing. This made the current scene so out of control.

Before Tang Cheng, several scholars ran in after hearing the sound. Just as they were about to step forward, Xue Dong suddenly turned his head and scolded: "I am the young master of my mansion. Who among you poor and poor dares to be arrogant? Get out, get out of here."

This swearing shout with a clear identity immediately made the men of the locals who thought of heroes saving the beauty hesitate. After seeing this, Xue Dong laughed and said loudly, "Qizhi. After parting in Yangzhou, I miss you very much. It's a pity that I went out for a job a few days ago and didn't know that the little lady had arrived in the capital. When I came back today, I just heard about this news. I didn't even eat alcohol. Since I got here, I always have to go to the young master's room to see it. Let's go, the young master will take you to have a good life."

Xue Dong said with a laugh, and his hands were getting stronger. Seeing that Qizhi could no longer hold the curtain and the others were staggering, he suddenly saw a figure walking forward quickly.

He kicked Xue Dong on the arm, and his hand that was dragging Qi Zhi was kicked away. Just as the guy was in pain, people around him heard a crisp sound of "pop". Xue Dong fell to the ground with a crooked and slanted face, and a bright red slap was printed on his left face...
