As soon as these words came out, they caused a burst of laughter. Jiang Zuolang, the envoy of the Liang State, blushed even more. He wanted to be angry, but found that he couldn't do it. The other party does look drunk, and reasoning with a drunk will naturally not work. Asking His Majesty the Emperor of Haoguo for an explanation, it will be the same statement just now, in the final analysis, Li Xiao is taking advantage of his own drinking, even if he blames it, it can only be said to be an unintentional move. And today, the emperor is clearly partial.

Li Xiao's words also amused the queen mother who sat on the top of the country, in the past, the envoys of Liang State always relied on the literary world of Liang State to press on Hao Guo, and they could always make the talents of Hao State speechless.

The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled, coughed twice, and then a wave of sleepiness came to her, she yawned, and said to Emperor Hao, who was doing it on the side: "Emperor, it has been a long time since the mourning family came out today, and I am a little tired, so I will go back to Kunning Hall to listen to the recitation of Master Pujing." ”

The Empress Dowager Haoguo believed in Buddhism, and she preferred to go back and listen to the masters of Wan'an Temple chanting than listening to people compose poems in the hall. She was already an old woman, and she was not interested in poetry or anything.

With the support of the palace maid, the queen mother slowly got up from the seat, looked back at the high Changle of the screens, and saw that her granddaughter was full of interest, she didn't speak, just smiled and turned away. The officials and envoys in the palace also got up one after another, bowed their heads and sent the queen mother away. Emperor Hao also stood up and instructed the palace maids and eunuchs to be careful. As for Li Xiao, who was drunk on the surface, he also bowed his head and bowed his hands like others, his form was still the same drunk, and his body was still a little unstable.

The queen mother walked very slowly, and her elderly body staggered out of the Taiji Hall with the support of the palace maid.

The departure of the Empress Dowager Haoguo was just a small episode, and when she left, everyone sat down, and the interest was not reduced, and continued the next link. She is the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, but this is not just the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, but also a state banquet.

Seeing the Empress Dowager leaving, Jiang Zuolang, the envoy of the Liang State, bowed his hand again and said: "Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor Haoguo to ask Li Xiao to inscribe a poem for the gift offered by our court." ”

He wasn't targeting the elderly Queen Mother. An old man who is living in the deep palace is not a threat in the eyes of Liang Guo. Today's target was the drunk teenager next to him.

The boy is indeed good-looking, but what he says makes people sound very responsive, sharp-toothed, and there is nothing he can do about him.

In the interval between Jiang Zuolang's words, the sensible palace maid on the side intimately sent Li Xiao a bowl of sobering soup. The latter resulted in the decanting soup, no matter what it was, he drank it directly, the crystal water droplets flowed down his clothes, and the long sleeves were swinging at will.

"Delicious!"

The young man's body shook back, and he almost bumped into the Buddha statue behind him, so frightened that the attendants carrying the Buddha statue on both sides hurriedly pulled back. Before he could stand still, he saw the young man tilt his head again, and the golden bowl in his hand pointed at Jiang Zuolang at his side, and the blush on his face was unabated: "Inscription poem? Who are you, and why should I listen to you, and write poems? ”

Why did he want to compose poems, although Li Xiao knew that he was a copyist, and there were too many poems in his mind to count, but he also had a bottom line, after all, these poems were not his own, and he felt a little guilty after using them too much. Besides, who Jiang Zuolang is, Li Xiao doesn't know him, why do you ask me to write poems and inscribe poems, doesn't it seem that I have no face.

It's like the decanting soup is filled with wine, but it makes Li Xiao even more drunk, and what he says is also very arrogant.

Jiang Zuolang raised his head slightly, his face was full of pride, Li Xiao's question was really not up to standard. In his eyes, the other party is just a grass man without an official title, if it weren't for the Emperor Haoguo's nonsense, Li Xiao would not have come to such a banquet. And he is not only the secretary of the Liang State Cabinet, but also served as the envoy to Haoguo this time, and the most important thing is that his master is everyone, Ouyang Wang Su. Just the name of Ouyang Wang Su, no matter which country he goes, he will be awarded a generous gift, except for this Nanban Hao country.

He smiled contemptuously and said: "This official Liang Guo went to Hao Guo envoy Jiang Zuolang, the official teacher is Liang Guoguo Guozi sacrificial wine, everyone Ouyang Wang Su is ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiao interrupted: "I asked who you are, not your teacher, and your teacher's...... Teacher. He burped, raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Zuolang, and then said: "Listen to what you mean, it is possible that your official position is also obtained by relying on your teacher's teacher." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the ministers talked softly. Jiang Zuolang is proud of his late ancestor Ouyang Wang Su, of course, this is also his pride, and Ouyang's name is really loud. But according to Li Xiao's meaning, this Jiang Zuolang's official position was obtained by the favor of Ouyang's family, so it seems interesting.

Jiang Envoy was angry, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were staring straight at Li Xiao.

Jiang Zuolang has his own hard work, and more than ten years of hard work made him stand out among the talents of the same period, and was able to worship under the current Liang Guozi Sacrifice Wine Gate, and then several years of hard study, so that he turned out in the Liang Guo scientific examination and got the teacher's respect. He chose Guozi Sacrificial Wine as his teacher, not for his official position, and if he was really for his official position, he would not still be a small secret pavilion to cultivate.

Liang Guoguo's wine festival studied under Ouyang everyone, and his literary background is by no means ordinary. This is the main purpose of his worship. At this moment, Li Xiao's words are implying that his official position is not coming from the right way. To put it simply, he has received the favor of his own teacher and his ancestors. This is an insult.

"Don't think that if you make two poems, you can see no one."

"Alright." Looking at Jiang Zuolang's appearance, Emperor Hao spoke lightly, and everyone in the hall stopped talking, and they all sat upright and looked at the emperor. For a while, everyone in the hall was quiet, no one dared to speak, and even the sound of breathing was much softer.

Emperor Hao seemed to be very satisfied with this quietness, paused deliberately, and said softly: "Li Xiao, today is the birthday banquet, the monarch and the ministers are harmonious, and they are happy. The envoys of the Liang State also offered a generous gift to the Queen Mother, if you came empty-handed, if you make a poem, I will also be regarded as your birthday gift. ”

Poetry as a birthday gift is unprecedented. However, if Li Xiao's poems this time are the same as the previous two, then their value is not inferior to the birthday gifts offered by various countries. Li Xiao is rich in poetry, and the ministers and envoys also want to know if he can make poems today, but Li Xiao's current state is not sober, there are people in the world who take advantage of alcohol to compose poems, but no one will be as drunk as Li Gongzi. is so drunk, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spit words and think of words in my face, let alone compose poetry.

From the very beginning, Li Xiao suppressed the thick drunkenness in his mind with his true qi, and the sobering soup just now also brought him a trace of clarity, and the drunkenness on his face was just an illusion forced out by his true qi. Of course, this is only known to him, and the people around him all think that Li Xiao is drunk.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao is drunk, I'm afraid he can't compose poetry, so it's better to forget it today." Lu Yunlu gritted his teeth, walked to the front of the hall, and bowed to Emperor Hao on the dragon chair.

Li Xiao got drunk and teased the envoys of Liang State in front of the palace, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make poems and lose the face of Haoguo in front of the countries. In the huge Taiji Palace, no one is friendly with Li Xiao, except for him Lu Yunlu, if he doesn't help him, I'm afraid there will be no one.

The girls behind the screen naturally saw the appearance of Lu Yunlu, and they were worried that Li Xiao was half drunk before, but they were looking forward to what kind of masterpiece Li Xiao would make today. Women are jealous, and Li Gongzi finished writing a residual poem for Yu Xian'er in Yuxian Ju, which made Yu Xian'er's status a few points higher among the women of Jingshi. In this regard, they also want to get a poem from the little poet. After all, if a girl from any family gets a poem from Xiao Shixian now, wouldn't it mean that she is the same as that jade fairy.

"Yunlu, it seems that your brother has a good relationship with Xiao Shixian." Gao Changle chuckled and touched Lu Yunlu's fragrant shoulder. There was no one in the hall to speak for Li Xiao, first, they were not familiar with it and had nothing to do with the ministers, and second, they also wanted to see Li Xiao's new work.

Lu Yunlu didn't speak, her eyebrows furrowed, and she said in her heart How can her younger brother be so ignorant, and the current situation is the time for him to stand up for Li Xiao. Looking at her younger brother, she really wanted to rush up and pinch the latter's ears and throw him back into the house.

The ministers also saw Lu Yunlu's appearance, and their faces were full of doubts, they didn't know how the son of the dignified Marquis hooked up with Xiao Shixian.

"Maybe it's because of Miss Lu." I don't know who mentioned it. The ministers subconsciously looked at the screen in front of the hall. In this way, it does make sense, the daughter of Marquis Lu loves poetry and has also created a poetry club. Li Xiao is also a little poet fairy, and it is reasonable for the two to be related.

Then the ministers looked at Lu Gongzi again, thinking in their hearts if the little poet fairy Miss Lu had something to do with it, otherwise how could Lu Gongzi stand up for him on such an occasion. Slowly, the courtiers looked at Li Xiao with a hint of strange color.

Emperor Hao sat upright and looked at Lu Yunlu standing in front of the hall, with a smile on his face. There has long been news that the young master of the Lu family has a good relationship with Li Xiao, and he thought he was just a friend of wine and meat, but who knew that it was such iron.

At this time, anyone can see the situation. He not only wanted Li Xiao to compose poems, but also wanted the latter to stop Liang Guo's arrogance. Wu has always been the strongest in the world, but Wen, even if Hao's literary style is very prosperous now, it is still pressed by the small Liang State in the west, whether it is the Liang State or some deficiencies in the northern grassland, they all call Haoguo a barbarian.

This aspect has always been his heart disease, and today he has the opportunity to pick up a handful of Liang Guo's sharp spirit, how can he not grasp it. Waving his hand, he was about to let Lu Yunlu go down, and another clear female voice came:

"Li Gongzi is drunk, I am afraid that I will not be able to compose poetry, and I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life."
