Chapter 40: How dare you be a princess?
In other words, don't look at Li Xi's theft of many famous poems after he crossed over, but in fact, as far as he is concerned, he resolutely refuses to admit that he is a young man.
Shame on you without him!
In fact, to understand from its own literal meaning, youth is undoubtedly a good word, even if later generations often use Sister Lin's sad style to ridicule the word youth, but in the end, the original meaning is still more respect than ridicule, because Lin Daiyu's daughter is young, Lin Daiyu's sad spring and sad autumn, all have evidence, his sentimentality has its own source, has its heritage, her sadness, will only make people respect and emotional.
The bad thing is that when history moves forward step by step, until the era in which Li Xi originally lived, most of the so-called young people have been reduced to the situation of "worrying about giving new words", pretentious, scratching their heads and making gestures, and all kinds of postures of pseudo-youth, to name a few. So this back and forth, bad money chasing good money, this young man has vaguely become synonymous with stupidity.
Although you get the current Datang, even if you are just a pseudo-young man who is worried about giving new words, in the strong poetic atmosphere of Datang, no one will fundamentally despise you, and it is just a big deal to laugh at it secretly, but Li Xi has crossed over from modern society, whether he admits it or not, his thoughts have a strong postmodern style, so he is disgusted with young people, especially young women like Princess Xianyi.
At that moment, Li Qing, the king of life, fell into the voice, and Chen Qingzhi, who was accompanying the guest, turned his head to look at Li Xi, and seemed to have understood the reason for Princess Xianyi's abnormal performance today, what a smart person he is, once he understands this, he will naturally understand the task of His Royal Highness King Shou today.
He calculated in his heart and found that if Li Xi could return to Princess Xianyi, it would be equivalent to directly tying Li Xi to the chariot of His Royal Highness King Shou, which was even better than he originally thought, so if this matter came to fruition, I am afraid that even if Li Xi was unwilling, he would have to be forced to stand on King Shou's side to share his fate with him.
So, he consciously took half of the pimping task, and immediately stroked his palms and smiled: "What His Royal Highness said is very true, this situation and this scene, its beauty is picturesque, and there are even more beautiful people here. ”
Good poems, of course, can be had, just in order to deal with today's scene, in front of Shouwang Li Qing will not fall into his previous great reputation, he must also come up with a good poem that is reasonable.
However, Li Xi turned his head to look at Princess Xianyi, and saw that this princess had already put on an arrogant posture more and more at this time, although the neck of fifteen cardamom was delicate and fair, and the chest was already thin and capital, and her eyebrows were more picturesque, to be honest, it was really considerable. But the problem is, you're too pretending, aren't you?
When Li Xi saw her like that, he really didn't have a good impression.
Her Royal Highness Princess Xianyi deliberately put on such a posture, coupled with the fact that Li Qing and Chen Qingzhi are singing and harmonizing at the moment, where would Li Xi not understand what their idea was. But the problem is that if Li Taibai's "Qingping Tune" is taken to praise this pretending princess Xianyi, Li Xi feels that it is really a bit of a waste of Li Bai's hard work.
Besides, the power of Lord Shixian's poems is not a joke, especially when it comes to describing and praising women, his three "Qingping Tunes" are definitely not inferior to Li Shangyin's "Jin Se". And looking at Princess Xianyi's posture, maybe she is a little interesting to herself, otherwise Li Qing, the king of Shou, would not have pimped his sister in a clear way. So, what if the famous work of Lord Shixian comes out, this young woman really thinks that she is interested in her, but what should she do?
So, no, never!
Teacher Zhou Qiong said first, the prince is not allowed to touch, and the princess is not allowed to touch.
At present, although he has made a slight adjustment according to the actual situation, he can appropriately hook up with His Royal Highness King Shou Li Qingmei, and put some pressure on the crown prince Li Hong, so that he will not dare to act rashly in the future, at least not to use that kind of despicable trick of assassination, but the princess is still untouchable.
The princesses of the Tang Dynasty are simply stinky streets!
After thinking about it, Li Xi gradually weighed what he should do in his heart.
To be a good poem, yes, although the homework can only be regarded as average, but the famous passages of several great poets have still memorized some, and even before the college entrance examination, in order to fill in the blanks with those few famous sentences, but also increased the memorization surface, isn't it just a few beautiful poems, the Chinese are the best at praising the beauty, so many poems in history, at least more than half are written for the beauty.
So, at that moment, Li Xi withdrew his gaze from Li Fu'er, the princess of Xianyi, looked at Li Qing with a smile, and then at Chen Qingzhi, and then stood up and paced slowly in the pavilion.
No matter how clever you are, you can't just open your mouth to come, that's too fake, so this gesture before composing the poem must be put on a pose.
At that moment, seeing Li Xi standing up with a deep groan, pacing back and forth in the pavilion, several people immediately turned their eyes on him. Even Li Fu'er couldn't help but turn his head and peek at the past, secretly proud in his heart, thinking, since this Li Xi is so interesting, Brother Qing just dialed him a few words, and he was already on the road, so ...... If he can really make a good poem for himself, he will make do with it...... Pick him!
At this time, in everyone's expectation, Li Xi finished pacing, put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and said with a smile: "When Xi was in Shuzhou, there was a trick in the family, and his appearance was similar to that of the princess, and she was also beautiful. Therefore, it is said that seeing the princess's beautiful face today makes Xi unconsciously think of her style. Or, just for a poem—"
There were a few twists and turns in his words, Rao is as smart as Li Qing, the king of longevity, Li Fu'er, the princess of Xianyi, and even Chen Qingzhi, who had a long history, felt that something was wrong after hearing his words, and before he could think about it carefully, Li Xi had already chanted loudly:
"The sound of the shadow is pitiful, and the jade pond lotus leaf is in the field.
When Xiao Shixiu looked back, he didn't see Hongya patting his shoulder again.
Zifeng is coquettish and coquettish, and the red scales dance wildly to pluck the Hunan strings.
Ejun looked forward to the middle of the boat at night, and slept alone with incense. ”
As soon as the poem was finished, Li Xi went back and sat down with a smile.
The poem he read, naturally Li Shangyin, Li Yishan's masterpiece, is the second of the three poems selected from "Bicheng", it is said that Li Shangyin is famous for writing sympathetic and lingering love poems, when he went to school, for some of his masterpieces, Li Xi really memorized a lot, this will be taken out, naturally it is beneficial and not expense.
This poem has been left in posterity and has been indexed extensively. And there have always been a lot of people who annotate Li Shangyin, and they like to cling to each other's words, when Li Xi memorized it, to be honest, he didn't know what it meant at all, but he just thought it was very beautiful, especially the fifth and sixth sentences, Zifeng put Chu Pei in a delicate position, and the red scales danced wildly to pluck the Hunan strings, Li Xi especially liked it, so he memorized it.
Later, of course, he saw many versions of the explanation, but he felt that it was a bit far-fetched, in short, he didn't think it was right, until later, he forgot what he saw an explanation from, which made Li Xi suddenly realize.
Because this is simply a love poem.
Don't say anything else, just say that the red scales dance wildly and pluck the Hunan strings.
"Strings" is "strings", and in ancient China, this was the female . Yin. The name of the part of the organ. "Handover Sutra" cloud: "And [***] said: Women are one inch deep and say the strings, five inches are said to be solid, and if they are too old, they will die." ”
In ancient China, according to the size of the shade into the yin, they were named for their positions: the middle pole (yin. Daokou), strings (one inch into the yin), wheat teeth (two inches into the yin), baby girl (three inches into the yin), Kunshi (four inches into the yin), Gushi (five inches into the yin). And the most ideal position for a female surname is between the strings and the wheat teeth, so "Red Scales Dancing and Plucking Hunan Strings" is actually a surname that describes the time of men and women. Love pose.
Zifeng is coquettish, and the red scales dance wildly, which is simply a vivid and incisive description of the love between men and women.
In later generations, Xiyi once had Baltini Jun and made a famous painting, called "Guitar", which is simply a Western illustration of Li Shangyin's "Red Scales Dancing Wildly Plucking Hunan Strings": A man who describes a down-and-out man holds a ** girl on his lap like a guitar, and his right hand is dialed to the "Hunan string" position.
As for the other sentences, such as Yuchi lotus leaf Zhengtian Tian, etc., it is naturally not difficult to remind people of the famous sentence in Han Yuefu's "Jiangnan": "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaf He Tiantian!" Fish play among lotus leaves. Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf west, fish play lotus leaf south, fish play lotus leaf north. This "fish playing lotus leaves" is also a metaphor for the surname. So all in all, the sentence "Yuchi lotus leaf Zhengtiantian" just outlines a hazy [***] beauty.
In this way, the meaning of this poem is not difficult to explain, at the moment, Li Xi read it out, and the name is to be given to Li Fuer, the princess of Xianyi, so the meaning of this poem is - seeing your appearance, hearing your voice, I suddenly feel sad in my heart, thinking of the perfect beauty who was shy on my couch in the past, if you don't reunite with me, your fast son-in-law Xiao Shi, then no matter who calls you, don't look back, and don't give Lao Tzu a green hat, because I'm still thinking about you all the time. I think of the wonderful scene when we went to bed, especially now, when I can only sleep alone, and I think of your wonderful strings even more.
If you want to say that this poem is written, it is naturally excellent, thousands of years ago, when it comes to love poems, mentioning Li Shangyin, this poem can hardly be avoided to become a must-say one, although the status is not as good as "Jin Se", but in fact, in terms of the quality of the poem itself, it is not inferior to "Jin Se", and it is in the same vein as the style of "Jin Se", therefore, Li Xi's poem has just finished reading, and it is indeed a big shock for everyone in the pavilion.
It's just that because this poem is said to be written to Princess Li Fu'er of Xianyi, so the meaning of these words is to think about it, this poem is very disrespectful!
Chen Qingzhi wanted to subconsciously applaud, but his hands were raised, but he was stunned, and then, he rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and glanced at Li Xi in surprise, and his hand was stunned in mid-air.
In other words, this poem will be indexed in later generations, although there will be a lot of indexes, each family has its own interpretation, and it is the same when it comes to the Tang Dynasty, because the title of the poem is obscure and difficult to understand, which is Li Shangyin's representative style, but after all, the surname of this poem is still very clear, and for learned people such as Chen Qingzhi and Shouwang Li Qing, the literal meaning is not a problem at all. Therefore, after listening to it, after thinking about it for a while, Chen Qingzhi naturally quickly understood what Li Xi's poetry meant.
It's okay if he doesn't understand, but once he understands, it's not a clapping for a while, and it's not a clapping anymore. It's just a strong tongue in my heart: This Li Xi doesn't treat the princess as a thing, right?
At this time, thinking back to Li Xi's explanation before reading the poem just now, this is even more interesting.
Take the princess, than a kabuki?
Moreover, in this poem dedicated to Her Royal Highness the Princess, you dance wildly with red scales? Still plucking the Hunan strings?
This is a clear indication that he doesn't use the princess as a root dish, it's just a trick like a singer...... So, Chen Qingzhi slowly withdrew his arm, lowered his head and picked up the wine glass, with an embarrassed face, he simply didn't look at anyone, just pretended not to hear, and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
And at this time, Shouwang Li Qing and Xianyi Princess Li Fuer have already reacted.
If Li Fu'er was only angry in his chest when he heard Li Xi compare himself to a singer in his family just now, then now, he is already angry.
In fact, if Li Xi's poem was not directly dedicated to her Princess Xianyi, but simply said that it was written to her because of the beauty of Shuzhou, then Princess Li Fuer of Xianyi might even praise it. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, female surnames were not particularly taboo to talk about the topic of surnames, especially in poetry, most of the poets were wild, and writing about surnames was even less worthy.
And for a woman with a noble status like Li Fuer, she is the dream person of countless romantic poets, even if she vaguely talks about this topic, she will mostly just laugh it off.
In modern society, if you tell a woman, I dreamed of you last night, and I dreamed that the two of us were in a circle, and the woman would scold you for being a hooligan and scolding you for being shameless, but in the eyes of the women of the Tang Dynasty, being able to get the favor of a man's dream, or even a circle, is simply a supreme compliment. For this level of so-called "molestation", they don't have much disgust in their hearts, as long as you don't make it too explicit.
However, when Li Xi made it clear that he was putting this surname. Aishi gave Li Fu'er such a fifteen cardamom, and she has not experienced any men and women. Surname. When the girl is a girl, it is no longer a flirtation and compliment, as Chen Qingzhi thought, this is in ...... Practice! Tricky! Or even ...... Treat her like your own singer!
Don't look at Li Fu'er is only fifteen years old, and his knowledge can't be compared with Chen Qingzhi, but you must know that the court education of the Tang Dynasty has never shied away from these things, so even if the allusions in this poem are occasionally obscure and relatively yellow, Li Fuer can still hear it at once.
Therefore, when Li Xi sat down and picked up the wine glass, Princess Xianyi Li Fuer suddenly took the case, at this time, what young woman's posture was naturally not wanted, she just glared at Li Xi angrily, the cardamom girl's snow-like crisp breasts rose up and down sharply, and said loudly: "Li Xi, you dare to trample on me?" ”
Li Xi looked puzzled when he heard this, spread his hands, and said, "No, why did Her Royal Highness the princess say this?" ”
Before reading this poem, Li Xi had already planned that the princess could be tricked, but she must not tell the truth, after all, Princess Xianyi is the sister of Shouwang Li Qing, the daughter of Concubine Wu Hui, and she has not yet married.
It's not a big deal, after all, this matter is ambiguous, and Emperor Xuanzong is not so stingy that he grabbed himself and beheaded Princess Xianyi because he wrote a poem to tease Princess Xianyi, but it's not small...... The princess of the royal family, Yun Ying is unmarried, how can she be slandered by Er?
Therefore, when Princess Xianyi came out, Li Xi pretended to be puzzled and asked, then quickly laughed again and said, "I know, Her Royal Highness the princess must have misunderstood the meaning of Xi's poem." ”
Then, he looked at Shouwang Li Qing and Chen Qingzhi, and saw that they were all puzzled, so he smiled and said, "Presumably, His Royal Highness and Chen Changshi also misunderstood?" ”
He took the wine glass and drank it all, then wiped his mouth, and said, "What I wrote in this poem is to think of the fairy!" ”
"Wouldn't it be nice for Xiao Shi to ride the dragon, make jade and phoenix, carry each other and soar away? Like this, although it is said to look up, it is only a cloud and mountain mist, and it can only be envious, so it is beautiful to the princess! ”
He said this elegantly, and the translated meaning is, you see, my poem is written that I was very envious of Xiao Shi back then, and I hooked up with the princess with a tune, and the two of them can help each other to grow old, and do that thing every day, how happy, but unfortunately, I can only think about it, I know that I can't reach the princess, so I have long been prepared to be alone and sleepless, and I don't dare to think about it...... In a row, he actually gave the meaning of this poem a 180-degree turn, and pulled it back himself!
In this way, if he is asked to explain it like this, this poem is naturally not to slander the princess, on the contrary, this is a kind of praise, and it is to praise the princess like the princess of the jade, and in order to highlight the princess's ox fork and nobility, you see, people like me Li Xi don't dare to expect to be the same as Xiao Shi...... Listening to this explanation, not to mention that Li Qing, the king of Shou, and Li Fu'er, the princess of Xianyi, were stunned, even Chen Qingzhi, who has always been conceited, resourceful and good at wit, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and his heart was speechless.
I thought: This Li Xi is too powerful, the meaning of his poem is so obvious, who can't hear it? But when he was asked to explain it like this, the meaning of the lowly layer disappeared immediately, and it turned into a hymn that could not be more authentic!
And if you think about it carefully, you can't be unconvinced, Li Xi's statement is completely explained!
Although everyone who composes poems knows that as long as the dragon and phoenix are mentioned, they are compared to men and women in the poem, as for the purple phoenix and red scales, it is natural that it should also be a man-woman reconciliation, but if the original meaning of this poem is changed to be dedicated to the princess, the princess is originally the daughter of the Son of Heaven, naturally the dragon girl, and according to the market, this heavenly lady is also called a phoenix, so that the princess of Xianyi and the jade are compared, and they are all compared to the phoenix, and it is not indispensable...... As for what Chu Pei, what Xiang Xian, of course you can use it as a male and female surname. instrument, but if they are not understood as things that men and women are in love with, and one is a wear, a noble thing, one is a string, a musical instrument, of course, this is the literal original meaning, where can there be a can't be said?
Obviously, not only Chen Qingzhi thought of this, but as soon as Li Xi said this, Li Qing, the king of Shou, and Li Fu'er, the princess of Xianyi, also naturally thought of this.
Although he knew that Li Xi must be a sophistry, but his explanation was completely smooth, reasonable, and logical, what do you have to say?
At that moment, Princess Xianyi took a deep breath, and then inhaled deeply, her breasts, which were not particularly strong, just made her own big inhalation move tremble quite fluffy and amazing.
Then, Her Royal Highness Princess Xianyi stomped her feet fiercely, "Li Xi, hello, you are very good!" Fu'er remembered you today! ”
After saying this, Li Fu'er, who had just been touched by Li Xi from head to toe in the poem, didn't even hide the strings, felt that she had no face to stay in this pavilion anymore, so she stared at Li Xi hatefully for a moment, brushed her sleeves and left.
If she was just molested, the key was that she had thought that Li Xi was going to move closer to her, and the gap between before and after was naturally very powerful.
Moreover, if it's just like that, it's better to say, the problem is that Li Xi obviously teased people from head to toe, but he can still justify himself, so that people know that he was touched, but they can't find evidence, and they can only watch Li Xi pretend to be very innocent, this ...... It's so annoying, it's too shocking, and it's too embarrassing!
Seeing that she was gone, Shouwang Li Qing had never encountered this situation, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only look at Chen Qingzhi.
In fact, he understands the meaning of Li Xi's coming and going, but how to decide?
He will not be like his sister Princess Xianyi, because his expectations are too high, so he has a painful skin, but after all, it is his most beloved sister, and his own sister is being teased by Li Xi like this, and he is naturally very unhappy in his heart.
If he is a few years older and has experienced more things, he will probably go away with Li Fu'er at this time, and say, "What Mr. Zi said is that Gu dare not agree, there are coincidences and disagreements, Mr. Zi Yue does not need to say more, Gu Wang is busy, so he will not send each other." In this way, it is a complete royal style - both expressing disapproval and disgust, but not overpowering people.
But obviously, Li Qing at this time, after all, is only seventeen years old, and if you count the whole year, he is actually only sixteen, even if he is a royal child, and he has received a good education since he was a child, but his own love has not yet opened, and he has not yet had a wife, and when he encounters this kind of thing for the first time, he will naturally be a little at a loss.
So at this time, he rarely showed a trace of helplessness, so he could only look at Chen Qingzhi and ask him to help him come up with a proper attitude.
And Chen Qingzhi at this time, of course, vaguely understood that Li Xi did not have a good impression of Princess Xianyi in his heart, that is to say, this time His Royal Highness Shouwang pimped out, I am afraid that it will fail.
But in his opinion, Li Xi is talented after all, regardless of that poem, just Li Xi's second way of talking about poetry shows how powerful he is, and he is known as a talent, which is really not wrong at all.
Therefore, although Li Xi has already made it clear that the carriage and horse will not dump Princess Xianyi, he still can't help but think, this Li Xi is so talented, if he is willing to seek for King Shou, what a blessing it should be?
So when he saw Princess Xianyi walking away with his palace maid Yan Qingwei, he glanced at King Shou Li Qing and understood what King Shou meant, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and asked very directly: "Mr. Zi Yue, although Princess Xianyi was born in the royal family, she is young after all, and her temper has always been like this, please don't blame Brother Zi Yue!" ”
As soon as he heard that he took the initiative to apologize to Li Xi, His Royal Highness King Shou couldn't help but be stunned, Chen Qingzhi naturally understood what he meant, so after saying this sentence at this time, he quickly gave Shouwang Li Qing a look and signaled you not to speak.
Shouwang Li Qing hesitated, he is younger, and he doesn't know how to deal with such things when he encounters such things, Chen Qingzhi is his long history, and he has always been a schemist, so at this time, although Chen Qingzhi actually apologized to Li Xi in turn, which made him unhappy, but he still didn't say anything, just bowed his head slightly, indicating that he would not participate, but his ears were still very serious about the conversation between Chen Qingzhi and Li Xi.
And when Li Xi heard Chen Qingzhi's words, he knew that he was an understanding person, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, speaking of which, it's still ridiculous, hehe, I apologize to His Royal Highness King Shou and Chen Changshi with just this cup!" ”
With that, he picked up his glass and drank it all.
Then, he got up and said: "Thank you Your Highness for calling for wine, now the wine is drunk, the poem is finished, please leave!" ”
He wanted to leave, but Shouwang Li Qing didn't know how to answer, so he just snorted and didn't speak.
With this hum, it was enough, and there was no deviation in etiquette, so he immediately stood up and staggered out.
Chen Qingzhi looked at Shouwang Li Qing, and then at Li Xi, with a wry smile on his face.
What did he apologize to just now, he originally wanted to redeem it for His Royal Highness King Shou, but obviously, Li Xi didn't eat it. Moreover, it seems that His Royal Highness King Shou is not very satisfied with his own proposition.
Hesitantly glanced at Shouwang Li Qing, Chen Qingzhi finally stood up, and said to Shouwang Li Qing, "His Royal Highness the lower official will send a gift to Mr. Ziyue", and then got up and chased out.
(To be continued)
