Chapter 34 - Young and frivolous
One of them is a princess and the other is King Shou, even if many people present were disdainful of Princess Xianyi's blatant shouting, in front of others, they still smiled and waved their hands and said, "Okay", Li Shizhi even smiled and praised, "Her Royal Highness the princess is young and happy, it is the age to jump out, and she is not restrained but shows her innocence, just right, just right!" ”
When he said this, everyone agreed.
Li Qing smiled, and didn't take everyone's sycophants to heart at all, Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er was full of wanting to seek revenge on Li Xi at this time, and she didn't care much about the words she liked to listen to in Pingyue.
When they finished politely, she said directly: "Li Xi, people say that you are a great talent, and you have the ability to make a good poem, so that people will say that the poems you wrote before were stolen and copied!" ”
Is this a direct attack?
Li Xi smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he waved his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the princess, for raising love, the so-called genius, but friends raising love, in fact, is not good at poetry." Of course, as for whether the poems before Xia Xia were made by himself or copied from the so-called stolen ones, His Royal Highness sent someone to Shuzhou to inquire about it, and naturally he knew. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled and looked at Li Fu'er who wanted to open his mouth, and without waiting for her to speak, he continued: "In the courtyard just now, I didn't know the identity of the princess, so I couldn't help but talk a little rushed, but Li Xi has always asked for a clear conscience in doing things, and what he said in the courtyard just now seemed to be not saving face for Her Royal Highness the princess, but in fact, I thought it was a heartfelt word, and I hope that His Royal Highness will think about it carefully." ”
Speaking of this, he arched his hand, ignoring the surprise of everyone at the scene, and said: "As Brother Shi just said, it is indeed a little uncomfortable in the next day, so I will leave, I wish you all happiness." ”
With that, he turned to leave again.
At this time, Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er had already been angered again by what he had just said, and immediately snorted coldly and said, "Don't put on any moral face, just rely on you, and dare to teach this princess a lesson!" ”
He sneered and said, "Hey, you said you were uncomfortable, it wouldn't be an excuse, right?" Hmph, it's really boring, if you can't do poetry, you can't say you can't, you have to die to save face! Now I really have to believe it, those poems of yours before, hum ......"
As soon as he said this, Li Xi was in a dilemma.
Let's go away, I don't know how people talk about themselves when I look back, in front of He Zhizhang and them, they are all well-cultivated people, and they say that they are not in good health, and they will leave directly without writing poems, even if they are disappointed, they will not make things difficult. But now that this Princess Xianyi has said such a thing, if she doesn't say anything, she will just leave, and she can't say that she just said things like "stolen and copied", and her reputation will soon plummet.
Although Li Xi doesn't want to be a celebrity, he also knows that having a good reputation is definitely not a bad thing! And if your reputation is very stinky, even if you really have great talent, even if Emperor Xuanzong wants to reuse you, I'm afraid you have to think twice! For even the emperor is not omnipotent, and it is impossible for him to appoint a man with the unanimous opposition of all his ministers.
At this time, seeing Li Xi's embarrassment, Li Shizhi stood up again and smiled, and said: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess likes poetry so much, it is better to be like this, the wine is uncontrollable just now, and there is some poetry in the stomach, let's just write a poem, how about asking the two highnesses for advice?" ”
At this time, Su Jin and the others who were standing behind him understood what he meant to protect Li Xi, but these people had always had a good relationship with him, and they also spoke one after another at the moment, saying: "Brother Shi has a poem, it must be a masterpiece, and I will listen to it." ”
Even King Shou felt that his sister was a little too much, since he came in, he had also observed Li Xi a few times, and saw that he was very peaceful, but he just bowed his head and drank, thinking about it, he felt that Fu'er was not without exaggeration in what he said to himself in the palace at that time, although he definitely wanted to help her breathe a sigh of relief, but now that people have already hung up the war free card, if they continue to fight so unreasonably, they will inevitably lose their royal demeanor.
Therefore, when he listened to Li Shizhi's words, he also smiled and agreed, and said: "I don't dare to give advice, our brothers and sisters are all late learners, if you say that you learn one or two, it will be okay." Master Li, there are good poems, and they are chanting. ”
Li Shizhi nodded with a smile when he heard this, looked at Li Xi, and then looked at everyone, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and then smiled: "There is." ”
Then I heard him say:
"The incense curtain warmed into smoke, and the atrium was full of wine.
Straighten the dance clothes into jade wrists, and shake the song fan to reveal Jin Tian.
The frog sits on the side and adjusts the double pipe, and the colorful phoenix flies obliquely into the five strings.
Although it is a guest from Wenju, he will see the sky with the naked eye. ”
Wenju is the word of Kong Rong, a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he once had a poem at that time that his wish was that the wine in the bottle was always full, and the guests were not empty, and the people who went to his banquet at that time were mostly celebrities at that time. Li Shizhi compared himself with himself, firstly, his tone was very great, and secondly, his identity was placed there, so it was not inappropriate to compare, these three come, his poem is elegant, and the artistic conception is also suitable for the current scene, and there are quite good sentences in it, which depicts the banquet scene wonderfully, but it can be called a good poem.
Of course, the most rare thing is that it was the moment when Princess Xianyi and Li Xi fought each other, and he had already made such a good poem, just this urgency was really impressive.
Therefore, when he finished this poem, everyone applauded one after another, and He Zhizhang, who had been staying aside and never spoke, couldn't help but shake his head and praise: "Good poetry, good poetry, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the right talent is beyond our reach!" ”
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Li Xi, and his face seemed to be smiling.
Li Shizhi was polite, and his face was also full of red light.
First, he also felt that he had done a very good job in this poem, so he was very complacent, and secondly, he felt that as soon as he took out this poem, he might be able to relieve the unhappiness between the two sides just now.
At the same time, he also glanced at Li Xi, which means, look, I stopped it for you, if you want to leave, leave quickly.
Li Xi smiled knowingly, and arched his hand at him and was about to turn around.
It's just that they don't know that when a girl starts to hate someone, it is definitely not so easy to be relieved, so although when she first heard his poem, Princess Xianyi Li Fuer couldn't help but admire, but soon, she turned her head to look at Li Xi again.
She didn't speak, just looked at it, but it made Li Xi feel that she was really not good at moving.
So, unconsciously, the scene slowly quieted down again.
Even, feeling the strange silence here, even the entire main hall began to gradually quiet, everyone seemed to be still chatting and drinking, but in fact, they all paid a lot of attention to this side.
At this time, Li Xi sighed distressedly and said: "Actually, I really don't want to write poetry, I don't have poetry talent, I'm afraid of being embarrassed, not to mention that my body is not very comfortable today, and I don't have any poetry." However, since the right brother has arrived, and Her Royal Highness the princess is so eagerly looking forward to the next poem, she has no choice but to write one. ”
Princess Li Fu'er of Xianyi snorted coldly when she heard this, thinking that this must be another prevarication, and he couldn't do anything good in the future, so she covered her face in advance.
At this time, hearing that Li Xi was entangled by Princess Xianyi and couldn't hold on, he really wanted to compose a poem, He Zhizhang, Su Jin and others all looked at Li Xi with interest, waiting for him to speak.
And Yang Xun, who had been dividing half of his mind on Princess Xianyi, couldn't help but pull Wang Shuyan and a few of them over here, and when they heard that they were going to compose poems here, not only them, but also many other people walked over.
Anyway, at this time, the banquet is in the middle of the line, and what rules and the like can already be put aside.
At this time, Li Xi thought for a moment and said slowly:
"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian.
Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.
There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and jade.
This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. ”
He read the first two sentences, and everyone at the scene had different expressions, some were expectant, some sneered, some disdainful, and some didn't care much, as for Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er, it was naturally inevitable that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, with an expression waiting for Li Xi to make a fool of herself.
But when Li Xi finished reading the second sentence, He Zhizhang, Li Shizhi and other poets had already begun to look cautious suddenly, and after being cautious, they frowned.
Because the four lines of poetry that Li Xi has read out are very neat, which is exactly the practice of legal poetry, and the words are also very elegant, but what does this mean...... It's a little ethereal, it seems to be faintly meaningful, but people can't think of what he is referring to, but I just feel that there is an inexhaustible charm lingering in it, and I read it silently in my heart, and I faintly feel that my teeth and cheeks are fragrant.
When Li Xi read the third sentence, let alone everyone like He Zhizhang, even those poetry attainments present can only be said to be of ordinary level, and they can't help but frown cautiously. Even Shouwang Li Qing is the same.
As for Princess Xianyi Li Fu'er, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
In the past, whether it was because she heard rumors outside, or because she later felt bad for Li Xi, in short, in her heart, she absolutely did not believe that people like Li Xi could make any really good poems. But hearing this, no matter how much she had a bad feeling for Li Xi in her heart, she still had to be moved by his verses.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty is a poetry capital and a poetry dynasty. As for Princess Xianyi, he has received the highest level of education in this era since he was a child, and his parents are people who like literature and art, so in terms of the attainment of this poetry, it is naturally not bad, which can be seen from the fact that she used to like Wang Changling's poems very much, and later liked Cen Shen's poems very much.
In fact, it is precisely because of the love and pursuit of poetry by the general public that with such a broad mass base, the prosperity and brilliance of Tang poetry can be created, and there can be countless great poets in the Tang poetry circle.
Therefore, although the poem read by Li Xi has been obscure since ancient times, and in fact, everyone did frown when they heard it, but its artistic conception is so subtle that you don't need to know the specific meaning to feel it.
Later, Mr. Liang Qichao said in his book "Ice Room Collection" that Li Yishan's untitled poem Jinse poem, if you ask me why it is good, I can't answer, but I just think it is good, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and the charm is endless.
Mr. Liang's words could not be more appropriate to describe the feelings of these people at this time.
No one can say exactly what this poem means, what it points to, and you can even say that you can understand it however you want, but even if there is no actual reference, it still does not prevent people from perceiving the beauty of this poem.
It can even be said that it is precisely because there is no specific reference that this poem has its own mouth and its own subtlety, so that it throws off the shackles of all concrete things and has an infinite lofty realm.
So, from the scene just now, there was a slight commotion, and everyone had different expressions, until Li Xi read it, the scene gradually quieted down, and it was quiet to the point where the needle could be heard, and everyone couldn't help but show cautious and thoughtful expressions.
And when Li Xi finished reading the last two sentences, Mr. was even more silent.
At this time, in a trance, it seemed that you could still hear the sound of many people outside the hall making noise and drinking, the sound of wine buds colliding, the sleeves of the robe accidentally hanging on the cups and plates so that they were directly taken off, and the sound of the cups and plates falling to the ground and shattering...... But everyone at the scene had no time to be distracted.
"This situation can be recalled, but it was already ...... at that time," He Zhizhang chanted slowly with his eyes closed.
Many people squinted their eyes and shook their heads along with his chanting, looking immersed in the artistic conception of this poem and unable to extricate themselves.
Even Li Fuer, the princess of Xianyi, was also clear in her eyes at this time, and the anger and disdain burning in her eyes had long disappeared at this time, just staring blankly at the pillars of the main hall not far away, her mind was also thinking about the whole poem, and she couldn't help but sigh twice in her heart: This poem is written, it's so good!
After a long time, Su Jin was the first to come back to his senses, but he closed his eyes and sighed, "Good poetry, good poetry!" ”
He Zhizhang then complied and said, "Amazing, amazing!" ”
After finishing speaking, his eyes suddenly opened, looked at Li Xi with a smile, and said, "Zi said, it's amazing!" It seems that such an indescribable masterpiece is really fragrant. ”
The Xianyi princess Li Fu'er also came back to her senses at this time, turned her head to look at Li Xi, her eyes were full of curiosity and admiration, but she said, "Hey, the poems you wrote are really good!" But can you explain this poem of yours...... I think it's good, but some, some I don't understand! ”
And at this time, Li Xi didn't look at him, but just gave his hands to Li Shizhi and He Zhizhang, as well as Shouwang Li Qing and others again, and said calmly: "The clumsiness is unbearable, so you can laugh, I am really a little unwell in the next place, you drink slowly, and say goodbye in the next place." ”
After saying that, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, turn around and leave.
What he left behind was the silence of the main hall for a long time, and the admiration and curiosity in everyone's eyes.
