Volume 2 Song of the Pilgrimage Chapter 65 The First Poem
Who's coming? Most of the Haoguo officials present may not know this woman, and at this moment, they are also wondering in their hearts about the identity of the person who came, and why she came from the temple gate instead of the screen in front.
Of course, there are also some important ministers in the court, or old officials, who know this woman.
Gao Changyu, the last person in the Yiwang lineage, is the least favorite existence of the British Emperor's lineage, and can be said to be the lowest status among the Jingshi.
No one knows why she is there at this moment, and why she is at the birthday party.
Emperor Hao looked at Gao Changyu who stepped forward, and his originally gentle face was already covered with a layer of coldness at this time. He didn't trouble Gao Changyu, but that didn't mean that she forgave King Yu. More than ten years of life in the palace of Yizhou, but thanks to the King of Yu. Snorted coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”
Naturally, he interceded for Li Xiao. Emperor Hao knew, Gao Changyu also knew, and everyone present knew. But when this sentence came out of Emperor Hao's mouth, it had a different meaning. The people who learned Gao Changyu's identity were also engrossed. It's been more than ten years, and this is the first time that the descendants of the King of Yu and the descendants of the British Emperor have spoken face-to-face.
The third prince and the second prince on the side saw Gao Changyu's appearance, and they couldn't help but worry about Li Xiao in their hearts. The third prince is even more, he persuaded Li Xiao to stay away from Gao Changyu yesterday, but Li Xiao is still like this, now it's good, I'm afraid that someone will suffer today.
"Why is she here?" Lu Yunlu looked at Gao Changyu standing in the hall, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her fair face was full of worry. What she cares about is not Gao Changyu, but what kind of impact will Gao Changyu make His Majesty think when Lu Yunlu is talking to Li Xiao when he comes out like this, and what kind of impact will it have on their Hou Mansion.
"Yunlu, do you know?" Gao Changle's pretty face was full of puzzlement, and his big eyes blinked. She hadn't met her aunt. Since she can remember, Gao Changyu has moved out of the palace, and she has naturally lived in Gao Changyu's bedroom.
She hadn't heard of Gao Changyu either, and she didn't know what was happening outside after living in the deep palace for a long time, and she didn't even know about the assassination incident that happened on Wencheng Street a few days ago. Except for the occasional anecdotes that come back from outside, such as Li Xiao's big shine in the small building in the bamboo forest.
Lu Yunlu knew Gao Changyu, who was also a woman, and she sympathized with everything that happened to Gao Changyu, but there was no way, this was the emperor's family. She nodded, but did not explain Gao Changyu's identity to Gao Changle. With a bitter smile, he said, "I've met once, and it's a, poor man." ”
"Poor man?" Gao Changle was puzzled. No matter who it is, the person who can come to the birthday banquet has an identity, whether it is a father or an individual. And there are few women with status who don't know about it in Beijing. And looking at Gao Changyu's appearance, she is definitely the first time she has seen her, and she has never appeared at previous birthday banquets.
But Lu Yunlu didn't explain, and she had no choice but to sit quietly and see what would happen next.
In the Taiji Hall, Lu Yunlu glanced at Gao Changyu sideways, and his good-looking face was instantly covered with sadness. He came out and asked Li Xiao to speak, it didn't matter, the relationship between the two was good, and His Majesty would not blame anything. But Gao Changyu is different. She is the county lord of the Yuwang Mansion, and the name of this county lord is not good, and anyone with a little eyesight will hide a little, except for Li Xiao, a "fool". He didn't think as much as his sister did, and he didn't think about whether it would implicate him. Gao Changyu's appearance is afraid that it will displease His Majesty.
Sure enough, Emperor Hao's face did not have a trace of expression, his eyes were full of coldness, and even the queen sitting next to him couldn't help but tremble.
Gao Changyu bit his lip, walked to the front of the hall with stiff steps, bowed to the person sitting on the high seat, and then peeked at Li Xiao, who was already sitting cross-legged on the ground. She didn't look at Emperor Hao, or she didn't dare to look at Emperor Hao. There was something unusual about her actions just now, and the impulse of the moment made her regret it when she recalled it now.
"You shouldn't have listened to that man." She said to herself. When she calmed down, she wanted to retreat, but her body couldn't take a step. She took a deep breath, relieved her nervous heart, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Li Gongzi is drunk today, and the minister implores Your Majesty to take back his life." ”
"Take back your fate? What do I want to take back! Emperor Hao's voice couldn't help but get louder. The ministers in the palace all bowed their heads slightly, and no one dared to speak. At this time, it is to find death. No one can bear the wrath of the Son of Heaven. Li Xiao's body also couldn't help but tremble, this was the first time he saw the Son of Heaven angry, and at the moment Emperor Hao spoke, it seemed that the air around him trembled.
The crows were silent, and in just a few breaths, the moment Gao Changyu appeared, the atmosphere in the hall changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and the ministers were like being in an ice cave, and their bodies couldn't stop trembling.
"Please Your Majesty, don't let Li Gongzi compose a poem," Gao Changyu'......s voice was very soft. It was the first time she had faced Emperor Hao, or in front of so many people.
"Don't let him write poetry?" Emperor Hao smiled contemptuously, and the sarcasm of his words was overflowing.
He was clear about Li Xiao's strength, and he would never have only these poems in his mind, so he dared to let Li Xiao come out of this head and rubbed Liang Guo's sharpness. He was very pleased with the appearance of Lu Yunlu, Lu Qinghou was a lonely minister, and he was the person he believed in the most. Li Xiao should also be, so he is happy to stay together. But he was extremely angry when Gao Changyu appeared, as early as more than ten days ago, there was news that the two often stayed together, and Emperor Hao didn't think much about it at that time.
But today, he never expected that Gao Changyu would come to the birthday banquet, and he was even smiling at the jade Li Xiaoyan at the palace gate. There was nothing, he came and came, and he was not a scheming person, but his cousin, who should never come forward to speak for Li Xiao.
Li Xiao shouldn't have anything to do with the people in the palace of the king, this is a big taboo.
"Li Xiao!" This is the fourth time that Emperor Hao has called Li Xiao's name tonight. If the first three times were kind, then the fourth time is angry. Emperor Hao snorted coldly and said, "Tonight, you make two poems for me. One poem, inscribed for Liang Guoshouli, and one ...... Feel free to do it, but better than your one. ”
"Come on, sober up our little poet fairy!"
Hearing Emperor Hao's words, the ministers looked at each other. They have heard of this new poem from Penglai Xianju, but they have never known who made it. Compared with the first two, this poem that has been processed by Penglai Xianju can be said to be popular all over the city in an instant. Recently, the Gentiles who have entered the capital have also heard it, and are amazed by the beauty of the sentences and the love between the new emperor and a certain lady depicted in the poem. Of course, the most important thing is that Emperor Hao's words at this time surprised them incomparably, "It turns out that this poem is also made by the little poet fairy."
couldn't help but look at Li Xiao's eyes with a hint of admiration and regret.
Jiang Zuolang is also impressed by the young talent, at such an age, he made three poems and shocked the world. It's a pity that the two are in different positions, otherwise he would have pulled Li Xiao to worship.
As for Li Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was shocked. Not because he wanted to write two poems, but because the emperor knew about it. It is estimated that Yu Xian'er's girl confessed herself, but fortunately, she had already prepared and deliberately deleted some unfavorable things, otherwise she would definitely die today. The tragic story of the new emperor and a certain lady, if someone makes a big fuss and accuses himself of bad intentions, then he can't tell the truth.
With a cough, he twisted his body and arched his hand towards the emperor on the dragon chair, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then he tilted his body and leaned on Gao Changyu's lap, which meant to make her feel more at ease.
Gao Changyu also understood, and glanced at Li Xiao apologetically, thinking that he had harmed the latter, otherwise he wouldn't have to make two poems. One poem, one self-made, two poems a night, the difficulty can be imagined.
Lu Yunlu was first surprised because it was Li Xiao who did it, and then couldn't help but worry about Li Xiao. Although it is true that my friend has poetry, no one has been able to make two poems at once. His Majesty is obviously embarrassing Li Xiao by doing this. It seems that His Majesty is really annoyed by Gao Changyu's appearance.
Five palace maids hurriedly came in from the gate, all holding a bowl full of decanting soup in their hands. They walked quickly to Li Xiao, put down the decanting soup in their hands one by one, and then bowed and left. From start to finish, there was not a single sound.
Li Xiao looked at the decanting soup neatly placed in front of him, and laughed at himself, it seems that the emperor is playing really today. Shaking his head, he picked up a bowl of decanting soup and poured it down, without any regard for the image, of course, he did not have an image.
The warm decanting soup flowed down his throat and into his body, bringing him a burst of warmth. I drank a lot of wine just now, although there is the existence of true qi, I won't get drunk, but I still feel uncomfortable when I drink too much, especially in my throat. Fortunately, with the help of the decanting soup, it eased up a bit.
After drinking a bowl, Li Xiao slowly got up with the support of Lu Yunlu, then picked up another bowl and fell down with his head up. It's not over yet, it's another bowl......
This is a decanting soup, and although it is not alcohol, it is not a good thing to drink too much. At this moment, Li Xiao kept picking up the decanting soup on the ground and drinking it in the eyes of the ministers and envoys, and his stomach seemed to have no bottom until the last bowl of decanting soup was drunk.
Emperor Hao didn't stop Li Xiao, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The queen beside her was already frowning, as a mother, if she saw her son drinking like this, she would not be distressed.
The girls in the screen also covered their mouths in surprise, just now Xiao Shixian was exposed to another poem, three poems, each of which is a shocking work, but two poems were given to the women of Yuxianju. Especially that one, the love between the new emperor and a certain lady really moved them, and every time they heard it, they couldn't help but fantasize. How can there be girls who don't have spring, especially these women from families who have lived in the boudoir for a long time, and they don't know where their "new emperor" is.
With a "bang", Li Xiao drank the last bowl of decanting soup, and the silver glass bowl fell to the ground, and then he saw Li Xiao's head sinking, his body shaking slightly, and his lips opened: "The first poem ......"
Everyone in the room held their breath, and no one made a sound.
