Chapter 36: Writing Poetry

Among the dozens of dancing girls, Jiang Rou's eyes wandered, as if she was preoccupied, a little listless, and when Ji Qingchen looked at her, she acted very calm as if she didn't see Ji Qingchen. Jiang Rou suddenly appeared at the banquet in King Lu's Mansion, and she was still a dancing girl, which made Ji Qingchen puzzled and at the same time more sure that Jiang Rou must have an ulterior secret when she came to King's Landing this time.

"Xu Zhen see His Royal Highness the Nine!"

"Hundred miles of scenery, see His Royal Highness the Nine!"

Just when Ji Qingchen was distracted, Xu Zhen and Bai Lijing at the banquet in the hall had already gotten up and walked in front of him to salute.

"Xu Shizi and the young master of Baili don't need to be polite, today the light dust is too late to make the two of you wait for a long time, and please ask the two of you to be able to have a lot of Haihan!" Ji Qingchen immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile.

Xu Zhen in front of him was tall and handsome, his eyes were piercing, and there was a faint killing aura on his body, while Baili Jing was wearing a scribe's robe, smiling, and his body exuded a faint bookish atmosphere, looking gentle and elegant.

These two people standing together are completely two extremes!

"Don't dare to be, today is a few hours early for the wine banquet in His Royal Highness King Lu's mansion, how can it be said that His Royal Highness the Ninth is late?" Bailijing said modestly. His words were sleek and humorous, and as soon as he said it, he made Ji Wen and Ji Man on the side laugh.

Bailijing's wit and humor made Ji Qingchen also admire, and now he felt that the people's evaluation of this Eastern Wilderness proton was indeed not deliberately flattering, and he faintly felt that this Bailijing was not simple, and he really had some talent. As for Xu Zhen on the side, although he didn't speak again, his eyes kept looking at Ji Qingchen quietly, and his eyes seemed to be full of a little provocation. Ji Qingchen naturally understood what Xu Zhen meant, but since Xu Zhen didn't take the initiative to speak, he pretended not to see it.

At this time, several guests at the banquet stepped forward to salute Ji Qingchen, and Ji Wen, the fourth prince next to Ji Qingchen, immediately introduced these more than ten people to him.

This shocked Ji Qingchen and had to admire Ji Wen's ability, he was able to invite these people to the mansion to act as doormen as his staff, this literary talent and the prestige of the people are really high!

When he first met these people, he naturally didn't know if there would be an arrogant celebrity like Gu Qi among the people in front of him, but when Ji Wen introduced everyone, there was a person who made him quite curious, this person is called Fan Hua, not that there is anything special about this called Fan Hua, it is precisely because he behaved too ordinary that Ji Qingchen was curious, because Ji Qingchen found that the green shirt named Fan Hua in front of him was simple and generous, compared with more than ten other well-educated people and Confucians, he was more like a teacher from the village, There is less of the elegance of a scholar, and more of an introverted atmosphere that can return to the basics after gaining insight into everything in the world.

"What? His Royal Highness the Ninth seems to know Fan Hua? Just as Ji Qingchen was staring at Fan Hua, Fan Hua in front of him suddenly asked.

Ji Qingchen knew that he was a little rude just now, but he didn't expect Fan Hua to ask, and after thinking about it, he immediately replied, "Mr. Fan is a little like an old man of Qingchen, just now when Qingchen saw Mr. Fan, he remembered that old man, how offended, please forgive me!" ”

"Ohβ€”an old man?" Fan Hua asked with a smile, "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Ninth is still a nostalgic person, which makes Fan admire." But this old man of His Royal Highness must also be a well-educated person, right? Otherwise, how could He have made His Royal Highness Nine so obsessed? He's so lucky! It's not in vain to be able to know His Royal Highness the Nine! If he is destined for the future, please ask His Royal Highness to introduce Fan, and Fan will definitely meet this old man. ”

Mr. Fan laughed, how could the old love be forgotten so quickly? Besides, my deceased is leaving the country, and he will not step into Dayan in this life, but if Mr. Fan is really interested in getting to know him, Qingchen can send Mr. to leave the country, and Mr. Fan will naturally know him at that time, I don't know what Mr. Fan thinks? Ji Qingchen also said with a smile. The old man in his mouth naturally did not exist, and he was a person who was made up indiscriminately after being asked by Fan Hua suddenly just now. It's just that Fan Hua knew very well in his heart that this was a person made up by Ji Qingchen, but he still didn't know how to embarrass Ji Qingchen, so Ji Qingchen naturally didn't want to be polite to Fan Hua, and began to compete with Fan Hua.

"Thank you for Your Highness Jiu's kindness, this is not necessary, Fan still likes to stay in Yan Kingdom." Fan Hua laughed dryly twice and said.

"Ninth brother, Mr. Fan, don't worry about chatting, please take a seat!" The fourth prince, Ji Wen, found that the conversation between Ji Qingchen and Fan Hua was full of gunpowder, so he immediately said.

Fan Hua heard Ji Wen say this, so he retreated.

Ji Qingchen saw that Fan Hua no longer deliberately made things difficult for him, he was like everyone giving up, and with the fourth prince Ji Wen sitting first on the right.

After everyone sat down again, the maid put the dishes on the table again, and when all the dishes were on the table, the maid had a wine glass full of everyone, and the fourth prince Ji Wen raised the wine glass and said to everyone, "Everyone, today is the first time that the king has set up a banquet in the palace after the ninth brother returned to Dayan. ”

"To His Highness the Nine!" When everyone saw Ji Wen say this, they all toasted Ji Qingchen.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother! Thank you," Ji Qingchen was not pretentious, and raised his glass to Ji Wen and the others.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all at the same time. Then the Seventh Prince Ji Man, the Western Shu Scholar Xu Zhen, and the Eastern Wilderness Scholar toasted to Ji Qingchen, and Ji Qingchen naturally came to the wine dry, so the banquet officially began.

When the banquet arrived, Ji Man said that he wanted Ji Qingchen to play a song to feast his ears. Ji Qingchen, who was drinking a glass of wine, was just about to say yes, when he saw Baili Jing looking at him with a smile, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he said with a smile to the Seventh Prince Ji Man, "Seventh brother, when I first arrived at the king, I heard that the young master of Baili is brilliant, and the poetry and songs are at your fingertips, and there is already everyone's demeanor. ”

"Oh-" The Seventh Prince Ji Man suddenly realized, "The Ninth Brother is right, just now the Seventh Brother was confused, and he just wanted to listen to your piano music, but he forgot that there is a great talent who is right with poetry by his side, Brother Baili, how can there be no poetry if you have wine and fun today?" Let's ask Brother Baili to compose a poem for us to help the wine! ”

After the Seventh Prince Ji Man finished speaking, everyone in the hall immediately echoed.

Because the more than ten guests of Ji Wen in the hall are all well-educated people, proficient in poetry and songs, and usually like to meet friends with literature, when they hear the words of the seventh prince Ji Man, they are naturally full of love.

Baili Jing saw that the Seventh Prince Ji Man said this, and saw that the Fourth Prince Ji Wen and everyone else moved their eyes to him, he knew that he couldn't shirk this time, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Seventh and Ninth Highnesses look up to Baili Jing so much, Baili Jing can only be ugly." After that, he walked to the center of the hall, saw the chrysanthemums in the courtyard outside the hall, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Now it is the end of September, it is the best time to enjoy the chrysanthemums. ”

I heard that Bailijing composed a poem with the theme of chrysanthemums, and everyone hurriedly echoed it.

Bailijing pondered for a while, and then chanted a poem, and as soon as his poem came out, everyone applauded after carefully tasting it for a while. The fourth prince Ji Wen and the seventh prince Ji Man also commented a few words, praising Bailijing's "Yongdai", and among the guests of the four princes Ji Wenmen, several Confucians were full of praise for Bailijing's "Yongdai".

Seeing everyone's praise, Bailijing was very useful, but he still modestly politely said a few words, and he was very humble.

Suddenly, when everyone was praising the poem that Baili Jing had just written, Xu Zhen, the son of Xishu, said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth has lived in the capital for ten years, and I am afraid that he has also studied poetry and songs, right?" Today, His Royal Highness set up a banquet, and we got together to drink and have fun, since everyone was happy together, just now Brother Baili has made a song "Yongdai", why not His Royal Highness also make a song with Brother Baili to help you drink? ”

Quiet!

It's very quiet!

The hall that had been noisy just now suddenly became silent!

Everyone suddenly moved their eyes to Xu Zhen, the son of Xishu, and everyone didn't know what Xu Zhen meant by this?

Bailijing's talent is famous, and he has won successive battles on the road to the imperial examination, and he does have real talent and real learning, so it is natural for him to write a poem just now to help the wine and poetry. But everyone has never heard that His Royal Highness Nine is also accomplished in poetry and songs, and now they suddenly heard the proposal of Xu Zhen, the prince of Xishu, how could everyone not understand Xu Zhen's intentions after thinking about it. Their faces all showed a solemn look, because tonight was a banquet held by the Four Emperors Ji Wen, in order to specially entertain the Nine Emperor Princes Ji Qingchen, Xu Zhen was just a proton sent to Dayan by Xishu, and now he wanted to let the Nine Emperor Princes compose poems so mercilessly, and wanted to embarrass the Nine Emperor Princes in turn, was he really not afraid that the Nine Emperor Princes would be unfavorable to him after being embarrassed?

At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet in the hall has changed!

The Seventh Prince Ji Man was puzzled by Xu Zhen's proposal!

Baili Jing was still smiling and looking at Ji Qingchen, he seemed to have expected Xu Zhen to say this!

The fourth prince Ji Wen didn't seem to expect Xu Zhen to say this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he immediately changed into a humble and kind attitude, and said, "Xu Shizi, the ninth brother has been living a life under the fence in the past ten years since he left the country, and his studies have also been greatly affected. ”

"The Fourth Highness is not good at this, we are the same as the Ninth Highness, it can be said that we have the same fate, and we have the same path, since Brother Baili can write poetry, His Royal Highness the Ninth is inferior to Brother Baili in terms of poetry and songs, but it is not impossible to make a poem, right?" Xu Zhen said disdainfully.

At this moment, he was so bold that he completely forgot his proton identity!

When everyone heard Xu Zhen say this, they immediately understood the meaning of Xu Zhen's words, Xu Zhen meant that Ji Qingchen and Bailijing are also protons, and now Bailijing can make poems, if you Ji Qingchen don't agree or can't make a poem, you are not only much worse than Bailijing, you are simply a person who does not learn and has no skills.

As soon as he said this, Ji Wen didn't know how to refute it for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into a stalemate, and everyone moved their eyes to Ji Qingchen, the ninth prince, to see what His Royal Highness would do?
