Chapter 232: Prince, Prince, Princess

Wang Ping'an and Di Renjie speculated here about today's strange events, but there were more and more envoys over there, and there were more than 20 of them, although they could not represent all the Tibetan families of the Tang Dynasty, but the people who were resident in Chang'an basically came.

But something even more strange happened, after these Fanbang envoys entered the venue and sat down, no one came to greet Wang Ping'an, as if they didn't know that this poetry meeting was held because of Wang Ping'an, or even if they knew, they didn't care, and no one came to greet them!

Wang Ping'an had the heart to take the initiative to go over to say hello, but Di Renjie stopped him and said that before a matter is clarified, it is best to remain silent, so as not to accidentally cause an accident and end badly. Wang Ping'an was right to think about it, so he didn't pass.

After the messenger was busy for a while, the sky was bright, the morning sun was rising, illuminating the Qujiang Pond sparkling, and the beautiful scenery of the Hibiscus Garden began to show.

The scholars began to arrive at the garden in twos and threes, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi as hosts, of course, they had to stand at the entrance of the garden to greet the guests, and Wang Ping'an could not sit still in the flower shed, whenever a scholar came, he would come to greet him, whether he knew him or not, all of them were very affectionate, and Wang Ping'an pulled the relationship, set almost, flattery was flying all over the flower shed, and there was a posture of overturning the roof of the shed.

With a lot of effort, Wang Ping'an couldn't stand it, and he had a dry mouth, but he didn't dare to slack off a little. Among these scholars, there must be future colleagues, how dare he not be polite, if the first meeting does not fulfill the etiquette, it is a big offense, maybe whoever is careful will keep it in mind, and in the future, the small halberd and small shoes will have to be used by him in turn!

Hamiti was old and sophisticated, and when he saw that Wang Ping'an's face was covered with sweat, he understood that he was about to collapse. Clapped his hands, Hamiti said: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the meeting today, the old man boasted to himself, he is also a disease-free hometown, he is his elders, you can come to cheer, the old man is here to thank him, specially presented a song and dance, for all the sons to enjoy, and refreshments are offered, if you have not used breakfast, please use a snack first, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach!" ”

He waved his hand, and the people of Yan Le Fang immediately set up the musical instruments, and spread a huge red carpet in the middle of the venue, and began to perform.

The literati are also different, those who have money come to join in the fun, make friends, and pave the way for their future, and those who don't have money, they are here to enjoy, poetry and literature will be good, at least today's food doesn't have to worry, the food is quite exquisite, even if it is not exquisite, it doesn't matter, at least it is full!

At the beginning of the song and dance, the scholars sat down one after another, no longer came to talk to Wang Ping'an, and watched the song and dance while eating and drinking.

Wang Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly at Di Renjie: "Now I know, why are those big people busier than one another, even if they are not busy with official business, they can't be busy with entertainment, don't do anything for a day, just say hello, you can make your voice hoarse!" ”

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Big brother's busy method, I don't know how many people are envious, others want to be so busy, but they don't have a chance!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "I think I can make some throat lozenges to sell, monopolize official eunuchs, presumably business must be good!" Taking advantage of the fact that no one greeted him in front of him, he quickly picked up the teacup and moistened his throat first.

Knock knock, bang, bang. The music sounded, and the messengers and scholars in the flower shed were a little quiet, and they all looked into the field.

I saw a man in ragged clothes and wearing a thick sleeve around his neck appeared, this man staggered on the carpet, and sang: "I am a woodsman in the forest, my life is as cheap as grass mustard, I have no food and clothing, and I am suffering from a neck disease, so that the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual, and I am ...... today."

Singing the word today, this man suddenly fell to the ground, face down, his singing stopped, the music also stopped suddenly, and all the sounds in the field stopped abruptly!

Listening to the songs and dancing, the people in the flower shed, whether they are messengers or scholars, everyone has seen and heard of them. But as soon as Youling appeared on the field today, she actually fell directly to the ground, but it was unheard of and unseen! Suddenly, everyone's interest was aroused, and even Wang Ping'an felt strange, thinking: "What's the matter, is this Youling suddenly sick?" ”

The others thought the same way, and they all looked into the middle of the room to see what else was going on. Hamiti touched his beard, and was proud in his heart, how about it, it will whet your appetite all of a sudden, this is a bridge that I spent a lot of money to hire someone to write, and the money will not be spent in vain!

The music started again, and I saw a person wearing a eunuch's uniform, slowly walking into the scene, although he was playing a eunuch, it was not a woman, but a tall and handsome man!

The man walked to the middle of the carpet and sang: "The scenery of the East Palace is good, our family lives in it, serving the prince, and it is also happy." I heard His Royal Highness ask, who is Wang Ping'an? ”

Singing here, the excellent singers on the sidelines sang together: "Who is Wang Ping'an, who is Wang Ping'an, who is ......" This sentence was sung over and over again, and it was sung ten times!

Some of the scholars were anxious and cried out, "Whoever is Wang Ping'an, he will sit before you, look ahead!" ”

The chorus stopped, and the man sang again: "Our Mi Xiaomiao, I was ordered to go out of Chang'an, rush to Xuzhou City, and come to find Wang Ping'an!" "While singing, I made a hurried motion.

The chorus began again: "Come to find Wang Ping'an......" is singing again and again, and the entire hibiscus garden is full of voices calling for Wang Ping'an.

Before the next section of the performance, I suddenly heard someone outside the park shouting: "His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived!" ”

Wang Ping'an got up in shock, King Wu? Li Ke! Why did he come, he has never been in contact with him since he arrived in Chang'an? He hurriedly picked up the list on the table, but he didn't see Li Ke's name!

Li Ke, the emperor's favorite son, almost became a prince, and he was a real prince, as soon as he came, everyone in the garden was surprised, no one thought that there would be a prince who could come to the meeting!

Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi were overjoyed, they thought that it would be a great joy for Fang Yiai to come, but they never thought that Fang Yiai had not come yet, but a prince came first!

Everyone in the trellis stood up and looked at the gate of the garden.

Wang Ping'an stood up, straightened his clothes, walked out of the flower shed, and strode out to greet him. For him, Li Ke is still very noteworthy, he is the son of Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yang has a lot to do with her mother Yang, but it is difficult to find a chance to recognize each other!

Outside the park, a light carriage stopped, and Li Ke got out of the carriage with a smile on his face, looking at the people who came to greet him. Although no one introduced him, he had never seen Wang Ping'an, but in the crowd, he found Wang Ping'an at a glance, and thought: "Hey, this person is so good-looking, it seems that he has seen it somewhere!" ”

Wang Ping'an also saw Li Ke from a distance, and saw that this His Royal Highness King Wu was by no means a little white face, on the contrary, he was very heroic, less than thirty years old, with a beard on his lips and chin, and he looked very old, especially the beard on his lips, the tip of the beard was slightly upturned, and I don't know if he was born so long, or deliberately combed out!

Wang Ping'an chuckled in his heart, and thought: "In terms of appearance alone, this Li Ke is really a little similar to me, but I have to take more than ten years before I can grow into his current appearance." It's not a caring person, so you can't see it! ”

Quickly came to Li Ke's side, Wang Ping'an lifted the corners of his robe, and was about to salute Li Ke, he was a civilian, and the other party was the prince, the identity was very different, he didn't like to kneel to others, and he had to kneel at this time!

Around Wang Ping'an, Zhao Bi and the others also knelt down one after another, shouting in unison: "See His Royal Highness King Wu!" ”

Li Ke ignored everyone, but when Wang Ping'an was about to kneel but did not kneel, he stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said, "This little brother, I don't know what to call it?" ”

Li Ke's attitude is kind, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze. Of course, this feeling is only for Wang Ping'an, for the people who salute next to him, there is a feeling of being ignored, this prince obviously doesn't take others seriously!

His character is very bad, and those close to him will say good things about him, but those who are not close to him will definitely not say good things about him. To put it bluntly, in the small circle around him, everyone will fully support him and think that he is good, while people outside the circle will definitely not think how good he is. This situation is not obvious in normal times, but when it comes to the critical moment, it will manifest itself, that is, there will be more people who oppose him than those who support him!

Li Ke can't be the prince, naturally there are reasons why he can't be the prince, who is his mother is a reason, and this kind of character, if he can please the eldest grandson Wuji, then there is a ghost, the eldest grandson Wuji is not a person in his circle!

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "King Ping'an of the grass people, see His Royal Highness King Wu!" Li Ke didn't let him kneel, so he didn't kneel.

"Wang Ping'an, you are Wang Ping'an?" Li Ke took his hand and said with a smile: "I often hear people talk about you, your expression is not sick, it was given by your father, right?" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Exactly, the words of the grass people are indeed given by the emperor!" ”

Li Ke looked around, and did not ask others to get up, but said: "The palace is very stuffy, I wanted to come to the Furong Garden to breathe, but I didn't want to bump into you, today this garden is very lively, is it a feast?" ”

This is a knowingly asked, a prince who almost ascended to the throne of the prince, and the current prince is so weak, as a strong prince, if he has no other thoughts, it would be strange! The poetry meeting was held, and he came uninvited, which was obviously to find talents and increase his strength. It has to be said to be a chance encounter, and it is not a little contrived.

The messengers and scholars kneeling on the ground had two words in their hearts at the same time, hypocrisy!

At this moment, a team of carriages and horses galloped on the avenue outside the park, and it seemed that it was the prince's car. Sure enough, the convoy galloped closer, and before it stopped, a eunuch shouted at a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Baling, and Princess Hengshan have arrived!" ”
