Chapter 146: Victory and Defeat in the First Round
Aha! Shoot the horse, and the means are not clever! The princes didn't even see the face of the Seventh Princess, let alone the singing voice of the Seventh Princess, this is really, it is better not to speak!
The people held back a smile and cast an inexplicable glance at the prince. The prince was embarrassed to think about it, and did not defend himself for anything.
Gonggong Li asked on behalf of the emperor: "Which other prince will come to talk about your high opinion?" ”
Prince Rouran stood up confidently and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang knows seven or eight points about your skills, I love your poetry very much, I listened to the performance just now, I feel very comfortable, huh...... Very impressed. I wrote a poem that I wanted to give to His Majesty! "Prince Rouran doesn't know much about Han culture, and he doesn't understand what he says. The emperor nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"The beautiful woman played a song,
The emperor laughed when he heard it.
Today I come to marry the princess,
Gold, silver, and jewelry are not afraid of much. ”
After the prince's affectionate recitation, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Immediately afterwards, I don't know who couldn't help but take a sip of tea, and the people present seemed to be unable to hold back anymore and laughed in unison. Even the queen mother and the concubine mother, who are very well cultivated on weekdays, couldn't help but take a veil to cover their faces, for fear of being rude in front of everyone by laughing.
Xu Jiao smiled and leaned back, thanks to being supported by Cai's family, there was no staggering.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "What kind of mess is this?" ”
Her voice was a little louder, causing the people around her to laugh again.
The emperor coughed twice in a faux puff and shouted, "Silence! Quiet! Well...... This poem is smooth and smooth, and the words are smooth! ”
Prince Loulan didn't know that he had made everyone laugh, and he thought that everyone was praising himself by laughing like this. He said proudly: "Good Majesty, your Han poetry is really difficult to learn, I have studied for a long time before I can speak, there are many things in poetry I don't understand, if you like my poetry, I can make another one tomorrow, I can make a ...... every day"
The emperor hurriedly stopped: "The prince is talented." You've come all the way. How can you be overworked, and poetry will not be necessary! ”
Prince Loulan saw that the emperor always had a smile on his face, and thought that this first pass must be his own. Although the emperor refused his request to write a poem every day. but the heart is also happy.
Only the strategists around him, seeing that their master couldn't listen to his own advice, and now he was still so wolf and didn't know it, he couldn't help but shake his head coldly......
At this time. Yan Hui slowly stood up, and there was a lively atmosphere in the hall just now. Instantly dropped below freezing.
This is beyond everyone's expectations, after all, he is a popular candidate for the horse, and he is a scheming and well-informed talent, and he usually comes out at the end.
"陛xià. Xiao Wang also came to talk about his own opinions, if he said it wrong, please ask the emperor for advice! ”
The emperor nodded: "Please speak." ”
"There is an ancient song among you Han people. It's called "Mountains and Flowing Water". According to legend, there was a man who was good at the piano in ancient times. His confidants can often hear whether his piano is aimed at the mountains or the water. Others cannot. The two have the same ambition to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, indifferent to fame and fortune, but unfortunately, the friend of the piano player died early, and there is no longer his confidant friend in the world. As a result, the player threw the piano in anger and never played it again. The song just now, although the key is different, but the faint sadness revealed in the sound of the piano seems to tell the same sadness. It's just that it's hard to find a confidant in this world, even if there are one or two, it's always rare! Your Majesty, Xiao Wang doesn't know what the name of this song is, so he can only guess out of thin air, but he doesn't know, is it right? ”
The person playing the piano sat in the corner, and when he heard Yan Hui explain this, he nodded with satisfaction.
The same is true for the emperor: "Your Second Highness is worthy of being the pillar of your Qi country!" can be literate and martial, and has a lot of attainments! Yes, it is! Third Highness, what do you think? ”
Tuoba shook his head: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is extremely true, and it is very much in line with my wishes!" ”
When the emperor saw him like this, he no longer forced him.
At this time, His Royal Highness Dali Guoduan walked out and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness is right, but Xiao Wang still has some humble opinions, and I want to add one or two, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not be surprised!" ”
Yan Hui made a gesture of please.
Prince Duan said eloquently: "His Royal Highness Fang Cai said that if the person who plays the piano is aiming at the mountains or the flowing water, his friends can hear it, but no one else can. I foolishly think that His Royal Highness understands it too narrowly. The friend who plays the piano doesn't understand the rhythm, how can he judge so accurately every time? Xiao Wang thought that this should be because the two of them are indifferent to fame and fortune and love the landscape, the two have the same ambition and the same mind, so they can naturally talk happily. Then my friend had an accident, and the piano player didn't play, I think, probably because there was one less confidant who shared his interests, rather than one less audience who appreciated him, right? Majesty, Xiao Wang thinks that the real intention of playing this piece should be to feel that there is no chance in this world to send love to the landscape, meet confidants, and be chic and happy, right? If what I expected is right, this song should have been chosen by the Seventh Princess herself, I don't know if I guessed correctly? ”
The emperor's eyes lit up, but he denied it: "Prince Duan is a good talent, but it's a pity that he guessed wrong." ”
Prince Duan was a little surprised: "Oh...... It's an ugly offering. With that, he closed his mouth and silently retreated to his place and sat down.
Then there were princes who expressed their high opinions, but few of them were outstanding. There are a few people who blow a little fresh and refined about the sycophants of the seventh princess, which is refreshing.
The emperor finally sentenced Yan Huisheng to victory. Some people are not convinced, but they dare not question the emperor's will.
Lu Zheng was naturally happy when he saw Yan Hui win.
The emperor ordered someone to prepare lunch, and according to the palace rules, after everyone used it, they could stay as long as they left the palace before dark. It is rare to enter the palace once, and the ladies naturally want to walk around the palace before leaving, and the group went to the imperial garden. Chu Rui wanted to leave the palace, so he took Chu Aling and took a step first.
Guo Jia also stayed in the palace after everyone, but she didn't want to see the scenery, she just wanted to find a chance to take a look at the seventh princess.
Guo Sheng complained to Guo Yingyue: "I see that the prince of Dali is obviously more reasonable, but how can the emperor sentence His Royal Highness the Second King of Qi to win, this is really incomprehensible!" ”
Guo Yingyue comforted her: "We can't understand these many big things." Think about it, now we are fighting with the Qi country, if the seventh princess is in harmony with the second highness, I am afraid that it will save a lot of effort! Sister Jia, are you right? ”
Guo Jia smiled and was noncommittal: "You ghost girl, when did you speculate about this?" (To be continued.) )
