Chapter 236: Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet (9)
Huai Sleeve had seen him quite embarrassed just now, he was old, he was better than himself, and there was nothing left, but she resigned from the princess teacher, she had to go back to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to chant and worship the Buddha
If he still wins, he asks him to gain a foothold in Han Confucianism among the well-educated people in the Hanlin Academy in the future, and it is very face-saving for him to resign from the government, if he can't explain it for a while, and he is ashamed to resign, then he will continue to send his life's future
Huai Sleeve knows that behind the success of the imperial examination is decades of hard study
Thinking of this, he smiled lightly and said: "The little woman thinks that her thinking has dried up, and she has been taught today, so she will punish herself with three cups at this moment, and she will teach Master Xie Yan."
The ministers were originally sweating for Yan Hanlin, and at this time they were relieved to see Huai Sleeve admit defeat, but the poems of the duel between the two were wonderful, and everyone unconsciously exchanged their heads and gave different praises to both sides
Especially in Huai Sleeve, he seemed to be defeated, and from time to time he heard someone behind him whispering and whispering: "This girl reads these books at a young age, and if it is a man, it will be more than enough to take the Hanlin exam in a few years."
Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to talk about the poetry, he gazed affectionately at his sleeves
I saw that her cheeks were slightly red at this time, I don't know if it was because of the loss of the poem just now or because of the drinking, I unconsciously felt pity, I hated it for her just now, but seeing that she now has to carry everything on her own thin shoulders, I feel distressed, and I drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and secretly worked hard to finish compiling the book as soon as possible, and take her back to my side to avoid these disturbances
Kangxi had already figured out her thoughts, but she felt that although she was young, she had such a mind, and she was quite appreciative, so she raised her glass and smiled at the ministers: "Just now, Lord Yan and the princess had a wonderful poem, and I specially rewarded a set of four treasures in the study room with the two of them, you should take the two of them as a model, carefully study poetry and books, and practice your mind."
The following ministers shouted in unison: "The emperor and the holy ministers should remember the holy hadith"
Only Yinren snorted coldly disdainfully, pursed his sleeves and thought: Let you be as proud as a peacock after all, someone will rip off your tail and make you ugly
Huai sleeves knocked on the emperor's grace, only to feel that the three glasses of wine just now suddenly had a burning heat on his stomach, and he felt that the temperature in this hall was stuffy, and he was about to go out for a walk to breathe, but Chang Ning on the side raised his glass and said: "The princess said those words just now, it is really hard to moisten your throat."
Huai Sleeve waved his hand again and again: "I really can't drink" She and Chang Ning naturally didn't have to talk about those vulgar etiquette, but they directly pushed it off, and they knew that Chang Ning would definitely not be angry
Chang Ning smiled and said, "I am reluctant to give you wine to drink, you can take a look."
Huai Sleeve didn't understand his meaning, took the cup in his hand, looked down, and saw that there was a tangerine peel and plum floating in the soup, it turned out to be a cup of hangover tea, and he was grateful in his heart, and nodded to Chang Ning with a smile to show his gratitude, and was about to send the hangover tea to his mouth, Chang Ning suddenly said: "Hey, wait"
Huai Sleeve was puzzled, and hurriedly stopped his hand and raised his eyes to look at Chang Ning
Chang Ning smiled and said, "Well, it's okay, I just want to say that I haven't drunk this tea."
Huai Sleeve glared at him angrily, and drank the hangover tea, and Su Malagu on the side couldn't help but smile when she saw this, looking at Chang Ning and shaking her head gently
After drinking the bowl of warm hangover tea, a layer of fine sweat suddenly oozed from his body, and he felt that the hall was stuffy, so he asked Jian Yue to help him out
As soon as he walked out of the temple gate, a cool breeze blew in his face, and he suddenly felt refreshed, and the night dew was mixed with the chrysanthemum incense
Huai sleeve felt comfortable, looked sideways, saw the candlelight in the corridor on the side of the cloister, quiet and gentle, surrounded by a sea of chrysanthemums, and said to Jian Yue: "Let's go and sit over there for a while."
Jian Yue nodded, holding the arm of the sleeve and walking towards the corridor, as soon as she stepped into the corridor, the fragrance of chrysanthemums became stronger, and the sleeve found a corner, and sat down on the long stone, the breeze blew on the soft sideburns, and a wisp of green silk was gently stroked by the wind, and the cheeks were slightly itchy, but the burning of the cheeks just now was taken away by the cool breeze
Huaisleeve hangs down his face, just in time to see a palm-sized ink chrysanthemum in the candlelight, like a black pearl-like soft petals, faintly shining with a purple luster, Huaisleeve likes to reach out and hold the flower crown to appreciate it carefully
"Just now, the girl and Na Yan Hanlin had a good relationship with poetry, which made me admire," Jian Yue couldn't help but sigh when she remembered the situation just now
Huai Sleeve's eyes fell on the ink chrysanthemum, and when he heard Jian Yue's words, his face was neither happy nor sad, and he recalled the process of the poem with Yan Bingzhi just now, until the end, when he saw him sit down, he was depressed, although he won, but Huai Sleeve still felt that he had offended him, and he didn't feel guilty of blaming himself, and he agreed rashly just now, and his behavior was really reckless
Suddenly, a strong wind suddenly rose, and when she saw that Huai Sleeve had no intention of going, she said, "I'll go get the girl's cloak," Huai Sleeve nodded slightly, and Jian Yue turned around
Sitting alone under the corridor with his sleeves in his arms, he raised his eyes and looked at the round of Haoyue in the sky, and couldn't help but speak: "Li Bai was the original moon in front of him, only Li Baishi can say that Li Bai is now immortal, the moon is in the blue sky, and there is a lack of today's people still singing, Li Bai's poems, and the bright moon is still like Li Bai, when I learn Li Bai, I can know Li Bai's poetry and Mingyue, I can regain wine, I am ashamed of a hundred cups and a thousand songs, although there is no Li Baicai, the moon does not think that I am ugly, I don't board the ship of the Son of Heaven, and I don't go to a thatched house outside Chang'an, Miangu, Su, a thatched house, ten thousand trees, peach blossoms, and the moon is full of sky."
I only heard someone behind me praise: "The princess is so open-minded"
Huai Sleeve was surprised, quickly got up, turned his eyes to look behind him, and saw that it was Kangxi's Taifu Chen Tingjing
"I don't know when Lord Chen came here, it's rude and disrespectful," said Chen Tingjing and smiled, took a step forward and held his sleeve and said: "Princess, don't be polite."
It turned out that Chen Tingjing also felt depressed because of the many people in the hall, and the older people liked to be quiet, so he walked out for a walk, and just happened to walk here, and heard Tang Yin's "Wine to the Moon Song" chanting with his sleeves, so he stopped listening to it
"Old man, thank you for the mercy of the princess," Chen Tingjing said sincerely and humbly to his sleeves and fists
Huai Sleeve suddenly heard Chen Tingjing say this, and unconsciously took a few steps back, and said in surprise: "Why did Lord Chen say this?"
Chen Tingjing sighed with a look of shame and said: "Hey, I can't hide it, the princess master, that Yan Bingzhi, Lord Yan is my student, fortunately, the princess master saved his face in front of the civil and military ministers today, otherwise he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Hanlin Academy in the future."
Chen Tingjing couldn't help but shake his head with emotion and said: "How can you base your mind on the basis of not being broad-minded, I hope today's events will teach him a lesson."
Huai Sleeve said sincerely: "Today's matter was originally because I was ignorant, but I just relied on making friends with the crescent princess, and even knowing a few more words, I wasted the false name of this princess teacher, Lord Yan is Hanlin erudite, I don't know how thick the sky is."
