Chapter 40 The poems are astonishing
Princess Dongyang smiled abruptly, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.
Countless eyes were focused on Princess Dongyang, and Princess Dongyang was also frightened, and hurriedly lowered her head in obedience.
However, it was already too late.
Li Shimin frowned, he was too far away to recognize Dongyang, and the prince next to him, Li Chengqian, reminded him in a whisper, and Li Shimin was stunned.
"Dongyang?"
Princess Dongyang had no choice but to get up and salute: "Father." ”
"What are you laughing at?"
"Daughter......" Princess Dongyang has been honest since she was a child, and she is not used to lying, but now she is so anxious that her face is flushed and she is at a loss.
Very unaccustomed to being watched by so many people, Princess Dongyang was embarrassed for a moment, her silver teeth were bitten, and she decided to ask for guilt, but at this time, Princess Gaoyang, who has always been more favored, laughed twice and said: "My sister is extremely smart, my father has just come up with the question, and my sister is afraid that she has already made a poem, so she laughed before speaking." ”
In one sentence, Princess Dongyang was pushed to the edge of the cliff, making her unable to advance or retreat.
The rest of the princes and princesses in the palace chuckled, and only they knew whether these laughter were mockery or kindness.
Princess Dongyang's temperament is too introverted and too dull, because her mother is a concubine, she has little contact with other brothers and sisters, and her speech and behavior are low-key and almost transparent, in this huge Taiji Palace, the sense of storage is very low, and Li Shimin's reproductive ability is too strong, not to mention that he died young, only currently alive, he gave birth to fourteen sons, twenty-one daughters, so many children around the knee to compete for favor, how can a daughter who is too introverted attract too much attention from him?
Looking at Princess Dongyang's embarrassed and secretly suppressed anger, Li Shimin felt a little guilty in his heart, and he was in a very good mood today, so he smiled and said: "That's it, you sit down, today's family banquet, it's okay to laugh a few times, Dongyang, you should really smile more." ”
His gaze swept majestically to the rest of the princes and princesses, and Li Shimin said: "I just came up with a question of persuasion, can you have a poem to answer it?" ”
Li Tai looked at the silent crown prince Li Chengqian, and his face was eager to try.
Princess Dongyang hung her head and stood quietly, her heart moving slightly.
In an instant, an idea popped up in her mind, and she also wanted to fight.
Whether it's for herself, or for the scum of Taiping Village, she can't tell, she just feels that she should do something, say something, a woman who is twenty-eight years old, why do others always treat her as dispensable?
Just before Li Tai was about to speak, Princess Dongyang rarely took the initiative to speak.
"The question of 'persuasion' issued by my father and emperor is presented in Dongyang, but it is not written by Dongyang, but by a young man named Li Su next to Dongyang Zhuangzi......"
Everyone in the hall stared at her in surprise.
It's so unusual, in the past, at such family banquets, Princess Dongyang was far away from everyone, sitting alone in the corner without saying a word, but today she is so active, and she is the first to respond to her father's question very unceremoniously......
Li Shimin was quite satisfied with Dongyang's initiative to speak, and frowned slightly when he heard this: "This Li Su ...... I seem to have heard of it. ”
Princess Dongyang reminded: "This person created cowpox a few months ago, and removed the smallpox for my people in the Tang Dynasty. ”
Li Shimin suddenly said: "It turned out to be him!" Yes, I remember, a fifteen-year-old, right? ”
"Exactly."
"In addition to curing diseases, this son can also compose poems?"
Princess Dongyang thought for a moment and smiled a little: "This person has excellent literary talent." ”
Li Shimin finally became interested and said with a smile: "In this case, you might as well read his poems." ”
Princess Dongyang's heart was beating a little fast, and she was stared at by everyone, looking a little cramped and uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and finally overcame her nervousness, and said without hurry: "Persuade you not to cherish the golden clothes, and persuade you to cherish the youth." The flowers can be folded straight, and the branches must be broken without flowers. ”
When the poem was finished, the hall was silent.
The ridicule and contempt in the eyes of the princes quietly turned into surprise at some point, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, was even more fat-faced, obviously this poem completely suppressed the poem brewing in his heart.
After a long time, Li Shimin took a long breath, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper.
"Good poems, enough to be passed down through the ages, 'flowers can be folded straight, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches', good, hahahahaha, this sub-literary style is the wind / flow of the extreme, I can't see ah, how can the Zhuang family make such a wonderful poem? Dongyang, is that young man really a poor peasant child? ”
"Yes, I used to be someone else's farmer, but after smallpox was cured, my father rewarded his family with twenty acres of land, and life was better. Father, this man is extraordinary, and he also wrote a poem of compassion for farmers......"
Li Shimin became more and more interested, and said with a smile: "Oh? Come on. ”
"At noon on hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work...... This poem is easy to understand, and Dongyang's village school in the fiefdom also uses this poem for children's enlightenment. ”
Li Shimin's eyes showed surprise, closed his eyes and tasted quietly, and said slowly: "These two poems, the princes and princesses should copy them by hand, hang them in the bedroom and introspect every day. From today on, the palace and the princes and princesses should set up another rule, every meal is not allowed to be left, not a grain of rice is allowed to be left, violators will be punished for copying agricultural poems a hundred times. ”
Although he did not say a word of praise, Li Shimin's attitude has already been explained.
It was only at this moment that Princess Dongyang's heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
Originally...... This Sven scum is really talented.
*********************************************************
At today's family banquet, Princess Dongyang was in the limelight, of course, maybe it was not her who was in the limelight, but Li Su, who had never even shown her face, but at least she proved that she was not transparent in front of her father and many brothers and sisters.
That's enough.
Before leaving the palace, Li Shimin deliberately stopped her, just a faint order: "If that kid named Li Su has a new work in the future, you might as well show it to your father, you also have to take good care of yourself, go out for a walk more, talk to people more, smile more, you ...... It's so different from the sisters. ”
Dongyang's eyes suddenly turned red.
This last sentence seemed to be unheard of in sixteen years, and she discovered for the first time that there was such a thing as "father's love" in the world.
As for the other brothers and sisters who threw all kinds of jealous or dissatisfied glances at her after the family banquet, Princess Dongyang laughed at them.
In her world, there has never been them.
