Chapter 31: The Third Talented Woman
He Caiwei successfully attracted Li Changge's attention.
Looking at Princess Yi in front of him, Changge politely said a few words, and asked Mangosteen to return to the table.
"Long song! Is the prince's injury better? As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Li Ziyu was bored sitting on the seat, so he ran to Yun Jingmo and Li Changge's side, anyway, there were many people, and no one cared.
Yun Jingmo looked at Li Ziyu in a white dress today, compared with other sons of the family, he was really much cleaner! So he said to him: "Do you know that my father has another purpose for holding this palace banquet?" ”
Li Ziyu: "What? ”
Yun Jingmo pointed in the direction of the minister and said, "The deputy minister of the Chengzheng Pavilion is ......."
Li Ziyu's face was full of question marks and asked, "Bai Ji has a good relationship with my father, what's wrong?" ”
Yun Jingmo smiled, Changge understood what Yun Jingmo meant, but would Li Ziyu be willing?
Li Ziyu on the side looked at the prince and his wife's second-face aunt and smiled, and kept asking, "What's wrong?" What does Bai Ju have to do with today's palace banquet? ”
Yun Jingmo felt that his brother-in-law was really okay, so he said: "He wants to marry his second daughter to you!" ”
Bai Qingsi? That Kyoto's third best girl? Li Ziyu thought about it and said: "That third talented girl in the capital!" ”
Li Changge Wan'er, the third talented woman in the capital, yes! It turned out that she also had an intersection with Bai Qingsi.
Why? That has to start with a garden tour a long time ago:
Thirteen-year-old Changge and Chu Zhiyun were invited to the palace to visit the irises in the queen's back garden, which the queen had cultivated for a long time, and when the flowers bloomed, they were purple and very beautiful. There was no princess in the palace, so the queen found the daughters of the Kyoto minister's family and held a banquet in the back garden. There were a lot of Kyoto ladies in attendance. On this occasion, it is inevitable to compare the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of his daughter's family, Changge has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, and he is generally not very involved in this kind of thing, so he stayed with Zhiyun to watch the excitement, Li Changge remembered that Bai Qingsi danced a dance that day, which was really amazing, but it was a little more childlike. Originally, there was nothing wrong, but this white girl had to come out and ask the queen to give her the title of the first talented woman in Kyoto. Li Changge was young and vigorous, so he was naturally unconvinced, so he immediately pulled Chu Zhiyun to stand up and shouted: "Wait!" ”
Li Changge walked to the middle and said, "The county lord hasn't spoken yet!" How dare you say that you are the first talented woman in the capital! ”
Bai Qingsi probably looked down on her, the county lord who was domineering with his family background, so he said: "Then please ask the county lord to teach her!" ”
Changge winked at Chu Zhiyun! He said again: "I'm with the girl of the Chu family!" Queen Mother, let's present a dance "Guangling San"! ”
Chu Zhiyun's piano skills are excellent, and the "Guangling San" in the first district is amazing, and the long song that dances with the music is naturally also a national color. What's more, Changge has learned to choreograph, this dance is made up by Changge himself, and Changge will be light, and it can dance on the irises, and the irises that do not move at all after flying over highlight the skill of Changge.
As soon as the dance ended, the audience was amazed! After Bai Qingsi finished reading it, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he said, "Even if it...... Even if...... In terms of dance skills, you and I are equally divided! The calligraphy and painting, let's compare it again! ”
It's evenly divided, it's funny, but anyone with a little vision can see that the two of them are proficient in dancing skills!
Li Changge didn't mind him saying this, but said, "That's fine!" It's just that in terms of calligraphy and painting, if you lose again, you have to say in front of everyone that you are not as good as the two of us.
Li Changge smiled: "We prepared a big screen to separate everyone's sight, and finally took it out for them to choose blindly, what does the white girl think!" ”
"Good!"
Behind the screen, Li Changge, Chu Zhiyun, and Bai Qingsi wrote a work, which was a poem selected by the queen. Li Changge and Bai Qingsi were happy to fight, but Chu Zhiyun was also inexplicably pulled to accompany her, and she was also confused. After it was written, it was directly handed over to the queen's palace maid at the time, Lu Ying.
"Now we are showing the work of the three girls, and this is the first ...... Ladies and gentlemen, you can cast flowers for your favorite works! "Lu Ying unfolds three works! A flower basket is placed in front of each pair, and the girls present will put the flowers into whichever one they like.
Bai Qingsi thinks that he has the chance to win, a little county lord who doesn't learn and has no skills, even if he can dance, he was born in a military general's family, how much knowledge does he have!
"I love this hairpin! Okay very! ”
"I like this, it's atmospheric!"
Voting is over! There are flowers in the flower baskets in front of Li Changge and Chu Zhiyun, Changge is good at calligraphy, and there are more flowers, but Bai Qingsi has none. Even she herself was surprised! Chu Zhiyun's words are better than the ingenious use of hairpins, but Li Changge's words are very exquisite, compared to her own words that can only be said to be decent, but it is not a level.
"White girl, it's time to say something!" Li Changge smiled and looked at her and spoke. Bai Qingsi said word by word in front of everyone: "Today, Bai Qingsi is beyond his strength, the county lord and the girl of the Chu family are the real talented women." It's because I'm not as good as others. ”
The queen gave a step: "The girls of the Bai family are already much better than the girls of the same age, this third, also has the name of exploring flowers, isn't it?" ”
These words also fulfilled what everyone later called the third talented woman in Kyoto.
Li Changge thinks about it now, but he only feels that he was young and vigorous at that time, so he said: "I also bullied her at that time, and now that I think about it, she asked for the reputation of the first talented woman in Kyoto just for a good marriage." ”
Li Ziyu laughed dryly: "That's not the point!" The point is...... I've taken a fancy to me. ”
Yun Jingmo nodded and said: "You are the only son of Li Xiang, Li Xiang has the intention to retire and be an idle duke, so the emperor is willing to support Bai to take the throne." If you marry her, the emperor will most likely approve of it. ”
……
Li Changge said: "Does her Bai family love the second lady very much?" Aren't the eldest lady and the third lady concubines? ”
Yun Jingmo sneered and said, "Although our four princes all have wives, there are still vacancies in the position of side concubines. ”
"The Bai family's heart is really higher than the sky! My Li family is also a first-class duke, and they actually want us to accept a woman from the concubine as the head mother of the Li family. ”
Yun Jingmo said again: "No, it shouldn't be the housewife, but there is a certain gap between the Li family and the Bai family, and it's not even a good match, so the emperor should only give a side room." ”
Talking! Bai Qingsi stood up! Seeing that someone spoke, everyone returned to their respective positions, and Li Ziyu had no choice but to return to his seat under the sympathetic eyes of the prince and his wife.
"Qing Si congratulates the emperor on saintly ann!"
