Chapter 112: The Palace Banquet
Su Cheng only learned about this later, because of Su Yuluo's brutality and willfulness, Su Cheng severely punished her and locked her up for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
During that time, she never saw the boy that night again, and no matter how much she inquired, the boy seemed to be gone. Although she wanted to know everything about that young man, as the self-esteem of the eldest lady of Su Mansion, she would not lower her head and ask Su Changan no matter when and where she was. So, she had to secretly think about everything about him in her heart.
The next time I saw the boy, it was already the spring of the following year.
Nanzhao is located in the southernmost part of the Central Plains, bordering Longxi, because the new king of Longxi has just ascended the throne, vowed to take Nanzhao in one fell swoop, so Longxi and Nanzhao broke out a war for several years. This war lasted for many years, and finally in the spring of this year, the victory of the Zhao Kingdom in the south came to an end.
The battle of Longxi was won, the whole country of Nanzhao rejoiced, and the king of Nanzhao returned to the palace to feast on the ministers in order to celebrate the victory, Su Cheng was invited as the protector of the country, and Su Yuluo and Su Chang'an also went together.
It was this time that he went to the palace that Su Yuluo saw the young man again. It was also this time that she learned the identity of the young man, Prince Nanzhao, Chu Shen.
Chu Shen, as the crown prince, has been famous in Kyoto since he was a child. I heard that he could write poems and paintings when he was three years old, read military books at the age of five, and led soldiers to fight with Uncle Wang at the age of nine.
Such a high-spirited young prince, such a demagogic and bright young man, it seems that at that moment, her heart began to grow wildly. She has never had any softness, and there is a strange feeling that has never been felt before, slowly extending from the bottom of her heart.
She rushed towards him in a hurry, but her steps stopped suddenly. Su Yuluo looked at her in front of her in a daze, in the crowd of people, the young man she liked so much was firmly holding another girl in his hand.
Low self-esteem, resentment, and all of it came to mind. Her tears, which never shed easily, gathered more and more, coldly, and fell to the ground, as if laughing at everything about her, all her glamorous eldest lady identities became nothing against the backdrop of Su Changan.
Today's Su Changan can really attract everyone's attention, a pair of beautiful eyes are as beautiful as clouds, the crystal eyes reflect water, a bewitching peony petal is printed between the eyebrows, and the vermilion wide-sleeved long skirt is fluttering lightly, as if the petal-like wings grown from the slender and graceful body, and the clear desire to say is also ashamed, showing everyone's beautiful demeanor.
Chu Shen's eyes were full of gentle smiles, and he didn't hesitate to pull Su Changan's hand and pull her to the edge of his seat. Although many people watched, no one said anything, after all, it was the crown prince, not to mention that King Nanzhao saw Chu Shen's behavior, although he disregarded the royal decency, he only frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
At the beginning of the feast, everyone was immersed in joy and excitement.
I don't know why, Concubine Liu, the favorite concubine of King Nanzhao, suddenly proposed: "Wang, it's rare to be so lively today, why don't you have a game while you're happy?" ”
"Oh? What competition? King Nanzhao stopped his wine glass and asked with a smile.
Concubine Liu's eyes were sparkling, clear and blurry, and she said leisurely: "Actually, it's very simple, let's have a poetry competition?" The concubine will say a word first, and see what the next sentence is that everyone is right. ”
"Aifei's proposal is really good, then Aifei will come up with a link first!" King Nanzhao smiled and nodded.
Concubine Liu's divine light flashed and said: "Then the concubine will sell it first!" There has been a time when flowers have bloomed, why should we know each other if we are in love. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the princesses and young masters sitting below used their brains one after another, and after a while, they all seemed to be confident, but Su Yuluo opened his two round eyes and stared at Chu Shen on the opposite side tightly.
"It's so easy!" Chen Liang, the second son of Chen Shangshu, who was sitting in the middle, stood up and said: "If you don't live together in this life, you will be a butterfly and keep your white head." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone gave him a look of approval.
At this time, the seventh princess next to her said unconvinced: "What's so difficult about this? Look at this princess: There will be an end to each other
The vicissitudes of life reminisced about the past. ”
"This is really good, but it lacks an artistic conception after all."
"I think the princess did a very good job, sad and sad, and it's a pity."
Everyone is expressing their opinions.
Suddenly, King Nanzhao smiled and said, "Why didn't you listen to our talented women from Nanzhao to pick up a sentence, Chang'an, you come and give it a try?" ”
Hearing King Nanzhao read his name, Su Changan stood up leisurely, smiled at the city, and his voice was euphemistic: "The two sentences that Chen Gongzi and the Seventh Princess received have their own merits, and Chen Gongzi's work makes people feel immersed in it, sighing at the beauty of love." And although the poem of the seventh princess is full of regret, it is also reasonable. I like both of these sentences very much. I'm afraid that Chang'an will be a little ugly! ”
Immediately, a little blush appeared on her delicate cheeks, and she continued: "The grass at the end of the world is exhausted, and the residual red and cracked silk are out of people's hearts. ”
"Wonderful! Sure enough, it's wonderful! King Nanzhao clapped his palms loudly and laughed.
"You are worthy of being the daughter of the protector of the country, Su Cheng, you have made a great contribution, and if Weiyang becomes the queen in the future, it will be a blessing in the world!"
"Thank you, King!" When Su Cheng heard this, his spirit shook suddenly, and he quickly knelt on the ground and thanked him, "The Su family must be dedicated to the country." ”
"Get up, this is a banquet, don't be so restrained. That's right," King Nanzhao rolled his eyes and saw Su Yuluo beside Su Cheng, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Since Chang'an has been completed, this sister's should also take a sentence." The rain falls, and you will take it too? ”
Su Yuluo directly flinched, it was better to let her compose poetry than to kill her, and stood up slightly embarrassed: "King, I'm not particularly ...... about composing poetry."
Su Cheng also hurriedly said: "King Qiyu, the little girl Yuluo was born with a stubborn temperament, she can only play and have fun, if she is allowed to compose poems, I am afraid that it will defile your ears, the king." ”
King Nanzhao didn't care, "I said that this is a wine banquet, Su Cheng, don't say more." ”
"Yes." Su Cheng had no choice but to nod respectfully, but his eyes glanced at Su Yuluo beside him, and whispered, "Give me a good answer." ”
Su Yuluo glanced at Chu Shen opposite indifferently, his eyes were full of affection, nostalgia and relief, but not for her. So he replied without thinking: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the iron pestle is sharpened into embroidery needles." ”
"Poof-" Chen Liang suddenly stopped and laughed directly. Although the others also wanted to laugh, they were in the way of King Nanzhao's handsome face, so they had to hold back their anger. Even more concubines had already blushed, and they drank the wine in the wine glass in front of them before they barely changed their minds.
Su Yuluo stared at them inexplicably, isn't this sentence wrong? She often heard the little Deng Zi in the house hanging on her lips, although she couldn't remember the verses, but this sentence was firmly engraved in her mind.
She was very glad that she could say it right. (To be continued.) )
