Chapter Thirty-Four: The Confusion of Poetry Trouble Suddenly
The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, night fell, and a bright moon rose in the sky. At this time, Li Mengxiao lived in the courtyard. A faint sound of the piano was wafting out of the courtyard. I saw Li Mengxiao close his eyes tightly, and his smart fingers slowly plucked on the strings. After a song, Li Mengxiao opened his eyes, exhaled lightly and said, "I've been playing the piano quietly for an afternoon, but I still don't know what poems to use!" After speaking, Li Mengxiao got up and dealt with his fingers and got up and thought about it carefully!
"Wind and snow, wind and snow, these four words represent the most romantic everything in the world. Although His Majesty only asked me to use two words in the exam questions, it was not a random poem that could be topped up. And the meaning of the poems and texts that are made can't have any collision with the current time, otherwise there will be trouble!" Halfway through the music, a figure suddenly burst in from outside the door, shouting, "Good song, good song! I don't know which famous artist played it!"
When Li Mengxiao heard this, he immediately stopped playing and looked in the direction where the sound came from. As soon as he saw the person coming, Li Mengxiao frowned slightly, "His Royal Highness King Xiang, Gongzi Wen, why are you!" The person who came was none other than Yang Ken, the king of Xiang, and Wen Qingping of the Wen family! When Yang Ken heard Li Mengxiao's words, his face was slightly ashamed, and he bowed and said, "Don't blame sir, this king offended Mr. a little last time." I hope that Mr. will not be strange!"
Li Mengxiao hurriedly got up and saluted, "The prince is polite, Xiao was also a little disrespectful to the prince at that time, and I hope the prince will forgive him!" Seeing this, Wen Qingping hurriedly ran out to play the round and said, "You don't apologize to each other." Xiao Gongzi, were you playing just now?" Li Mengxiao heard this, got up and replied, "It's really playing, Wen Gongzi, how do you know Xiao's identity!" Wen Qingping shook the folding fan in his hand and smiled, "Xiao Gongzi, you underestimated Wen, with Wen's ability, you want to find out Xiao Gongzi's identity." Isn't it easy?"
Li Mengxiao laughed when he heard this, "That's right, but, the two of you came to visit late at night, what's the so-called!" Yang Ken hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that when Xiao Wang and Wen Gongzi were walking in the manor, they heard the sound of your piano, so they came over to take a look! I just didn't expect that the person who played the piano turned out to be Mr. You!" Li Mengxiao smiled helplessly when he heard it, "Wen Gongzi said that it was a joke, and meeting is fate, why don't Xiao play a song for the two of you again!"
Wen Qingping was overjoyed after hearing this, "Such a beautiful day, the moon before the flower." It is really an excellent place to be accompanied by good wine and good songs! Qingping is willing to help Gongzi!" After speaking, Wen Qingping took out a gourd of good wine, three wine glasses and an amethyst jade flute from the spirit ring he was wearing, and expressed his willingness to play with Li Mengxiao. Seeing this, Li Mengxiao couldn't refuse, so he stretched out his hand and plucked the strings twice! The faint sound of the piano, like a broken pool of water, slowly floated out!
Seeing this, Wen Qingping lowered his head and played the amethyst jade flute in his hand. The light and tactful sound of the flute, with the cooperation of the sound of the piano, expresses a unique artistic conception! Yang Ken closed his eyes and listened carefully, feeling that he was in a unique sense of floating out of the world. As soon as the song ended, Li Mengxiao and Wen Qingping also stopped playing. Wen Qingping put down the jade flute in his hand, his face was full of joy! Yang Ken saw that the two of them finished playing, and hurriedly picked up the gourd and filled the three empty cups in front of him, "The two of you have worked hard, let's drink a cup to relieve fatigue!"
After speaking, a trace of aura flashed in Yang Ken's hand, and the wine glass was suddenly frozen, and then he threw the wine glass at the two of them. Wen Qingping's eyes were quick, he caught the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup. Li Mengxiao had just finished playing, and he was in a trance mentally, but he still subconsciously took the flying wine glass. looked at the wine glass in his hand, and then looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Li Mengxiao's heart suddenly felt a strong sense of longing, and he couldn't help but get up and raise his glass and said, "When is the bright moon?" I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world? Turn the Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, and shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. Li Mengxiao's voice was low, and after reading the poem, he drank all the wine in the cup. In an instant, a strong aroma of wine directly filled Li Mengxiao's entire throat.
"Good poetry, good poetry" After Yang Ken listened to it, his face was overjoyed, and he praised sincerely, "I didn't expect that Xiao Gongzi is so proficient in poetry and songs! Brother Wen, this demeanor doesn't seem to be much worse than you!" Yang Ken said as he turned to look at Wen Qingping. But what surprised Yang Ken was that Wen Qingping's face didn't have any expression of appreciation, but there was a hint of shock! "Brother Wen, Brother Wen!" Yang Ken saw that Wen Qingping was slightly distracted, and couldn't help shouting a few times!
Wen Qingping came back to his senses at this time, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that Xiao Gongzi would be able to make such poems!" Yang Ken smiled after hearing this, "Don't talk about you, even I didn't expect it! Xiao Gongzi, there is such a literary talent!" After speaking, Yang Ken turned to look at Li Mengxiao, "Xiao Gongzi plans to use this poem to participate in tomorrow's assessment!"
Li Mengxiao didn't come back to his senses for a while, and Yang Ken wanted to ask again when he saw this, but was stopped by Wen Qingping. Xiao Gongzi seemed to be a little uncomfortable. Your Highness, let's get out of here first!" Wen Qingping's voice was very flat, without the slightest jealousy, but Yang Ken always felt that there was a hint of a different look in Wen Qingping's eyes than before! I don't know how long it took, Li Mengxiao finally came to his senses and looked around.
"It's strange, where did King Xiang and Gongzi Wen run away!" Li Mengxiao rubbed his head and said strangely. "By the way, I missed "Water Tune Song Head" so much just now, and so on, in the assessment requirements, two of the four words "Wind Flower Snow Moon" should be used! So, isn't "Water Tune Song Head" just right?" Thinking of this, Li Mengxiao immediately returned to the house, picked up a pen and wrote the entire poem on paper.
"That's it, tomorrow's assessment, you should be able to pass it smoothly with this poem!" Li Mengxiao finished speaking, and after waiting for a long time, he folded the white paper with dry ink and stuffed it into his bag. Then he sat down on the bed and meditated and practiced. As the night passed, Li Mengxiao slowly opened his eyes. Time passed quickly, and when it was almost noon, Li Mengxiao said slowly, "It's almost time to go!"
In the hall, most of the young people who came to participate in the second round of testing had already come! Unlike yesterday's overcrowding, there were only twenty or thirty people in the hall at this time. Only most of them had a sad face, thinking that their poems were not up to standard! At this moment, the Phoenix Fairy, Jin Feng, who had come to pick up the scattered cultivators for testing yesterday, reappeared in front of everyone. She was joined by three gray-haired old men.
"It turned out to be the three of them, I didn't expect Your Majesty to invite all three of them for this test!" Wen Qingping muttered as he looked at the three people behind Jin Feng. No wonder Wen Qingping was so surprised, these three people were famous literary masters in the Wind and Dust Empire, although their cultivation was not too merely to create a vein realm, but they made a top Confucian who was specifically responsible for teaching the children of the nobles of the Imperial City. Jin Feng looked at the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "Jin Feng has seen all the young talents, and after a night of thinking, I think you must have made your own poems. Next, let's invite the three elders to evaluate! Next, I'll call the name to the stage! The first one, the Holy Sound Academy, the Eclipse Heavenly Monarch - Ouyang Ming!"
When Ouyang Ming heard this, he strode onto the stage and sent the poems he got from Wen Qingping to the three elders. An old man in the middle took the poem and read it aloud, "The more awe-inspiring the Snow Wind is, the strongest in the flowers." Obsolete will drift away, and shame will be more pitiful to Dongjun. "Yes, well written. It is completely in line with the topic that His Majesty is in, pass the test!" The old man on the left sighed with a kind face after listening to this. Ouyang Ming bowed to the third elder and respectfully retreated.
Jin Feng continued to shout, "Congratulations to Ouyang Gongzi, the next one, Shengyin Academy, Wen Ru Lingjun-Wen Qingping. Wen Qingping got up and walked in front of the three elders, and handed over his poems to the three elders. The old man in the middle took it and continued to read, "Insist that Qingshan will not relax, and the roots are in the broken rock." Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind is blowing from east to west, north and south! It's well written, it's so well written!"
After reading it, the old man in the middle exclaimed, "Wen Qingping is worthy of being the first genius of my Fengchen Empire, and only he can write such poems! Unlike before, among the remaining people, there are very few who can satisfy the three elders.
Only Xiang Huarong, Cao Tianxing, He Xuandao from the Shengyin Academy, the top five people in the Inner Courtyard, and the two people from the Phantom Mountain Wolf Tianyu and the Blue Shadow Sect Chen Yu successfully passed the assessment. As for the poems made by the cultivators, the three elders only glanced at it and threw it aside!
Jin Feng saw that there were not many people, and continued to shout, "Next, Xiao Mengli!" Li Mengxiao had already come in for a long time, but unfortunately he came late and didn't hear the poems of Ouyang Ming and Wen Qingping, otherwise, I was afraid that Li Mengxiao's face would definitely be very good-looking. When Li Mengxiao heard this, he walked up steadily, took out his poems and handed them in. The old man in the middle, taking the poem, was going to scan it at a glance. But when he saw the handwriting written by Li Mengxiao, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Your handwriting is good!
Li Mengxiao smiled slightly, "I also want to ask the seniors to take a closer look!" The old man glanced at Li Mengxiao and continued to look at it. Soon the old man's eyes became very weird, "This poem is really made by you!" Li Mengxiao bowed when he heard this, "It is indeed done by the juniors, is there anything wrong with the seniors?" The old man slapped the table and said angrily, "Nonsense, how can you make such poems if you are a loose cultivator with no ink on your chest!" Quickly explain the truth, otherwise don't blame the old man for being polite!"
(For Wen Qingping's poems, I will give you an explanation later.) )
