Chapter 160: Ming Huanghuang's embarrassment
Sometimes, the early bird is not so easy to do. If you're not careful, you may toss yourself into it.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace has heard that the little prince of Prince Gong's mansion is very good at writing poetry. The moonlight is just right today, why don't you write a poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival for all of us? The queen suggested.
Xie Tianrui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, what kind of rumor is this, suddenly saying that he can compose poetry? Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Xie Tianrui doesn't learn and has no skills?
Not only Xie Tianrui, but even others didn't expect the queen mother to suddenly come with such a sentence. You know, no one present can say that they can make one or two poems, but Xie Tianrui, the king of Xiaojun, really can't.
Everyone knows that Xie Tianrui did learn to compose poetry when he was in Fuzhong in the past, but later he felt that it was too troublesome to compose poetry, and he had to learn Pingqian rhyme, which was more troublesome than reading books, so he simply learned half of it.
Because the queen's difficulties were too conspicuous, no one spoke for a while. When the emperor heard the queen's words, he just glanced at the queen with an unclear look, and then looked at Xie Tianrui with an interested expression.
To be honest, he was curious. What kind of poem can Xie Tianrui make?
Xie Tianrui didn't have the kind of embarrassment that everyone thought, but he didn't think about what to do for a while. You must know that he deliberately showed his image of an unlearned and unskilled child in front of outsiders, just to hide his own ability and not be so eye-catching, so as to better facilitate his actions.
Sometimes, hiding is the real way to save your life. He has no interest in the position above, but once his ability is too eye-catching, it will arouse the suspicion of the people above.
He's just too lazy to cause trouble, after all, it's just an external reputation, and it's not a big deal.
Tang Yining was also stunned for a moment, his heart beat like thunder, after all, according to the rumors, Xie Tianrui is not a master who can compose poetry, he is a representative of not learning and not knowing, and the negative teaching materials in the master's mouth.
Xie Tianrui didn't react yet, but it didn't prevent everyone from obviously seeing Tang Yining's face turn pale. The queen and the concubines are all ruddy-faced, with smiling eyebrows, it seems that they have found the right person now, it depends on how Xie Tianrui ends! It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone.
Seeing that Xie Tianrui didn't move or speak, the queen withdrew her gaze on Tang Yining, raised her hand and touched the hairpin on the top of her head, and the mockery rose in her eyes.
The queen naturally knew the rumors, and she couldn't just lie in front of the big guy and say that she didn't know. She just said she didn't know, and no one believed it.
Now because of her words, the scene is silent, and if you don't say anything more, the venue will be cold. When the time comes, the emperor will not be satisfied, and the queen will naturally take care of the emperor a little, and now the emperor is still in the mood of watching the play, and after a while, he will not be in such a mood.
"Oh, it's rumored that the little county king doesn't learn and has no skills. However, how can the son of this family not know how to compose poetry? Even if the little prince is in our capital, it is always not difficult to give one or two limericks, right? ”
The queen's words have come to this, and it is clear that she wants to embarrass Xie Tianrui. Among them, those who looked at Xie Tianrui were not pleasing to the eye, and those who wanted to tie up with the queen naturally opened their mouths to help the queen.
Xie Tianrui also knew that he couldn't get over it if he didn't get up again, at this time, Tang Yining just didn't know about the grievances between the two, and he also knew that the queen was obviously deliberately making things difficult for Xie Tianrui, others didn't know, Tang Yining knew the queen's violent character under her seemingly weak appearance.
Tang Yining naturally knew that Xie Tianrui was embarrassed, so she didn't move, her face did not show a gloomy color, and said: "Queen Mother, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the courtiers look at such a good moonlight, it is really itching, why don't the courtiers write a poem for the king of Xiaojun?" She directly took the initiative to ask Ying to compose poems for Xie Tianrui.
Originally, it was to embarrass Xie Tianrui, how could Tang Yining come out with bad things!
The concubine on the side glanced at her coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Miss Tang Er didn't hear it, the queen said that she wanted the little county king to make a wine poem, if you come for him, I'm afraid it's not good?" ”
"Toasting and writing poems was originally just a custom here in our capital, but who stipulates that it can't necessarily be replaced by someone else? In addition, the courtiers even heard that if someone else toasts the recipient, the good fortune will be more prosperous. ”
Tang Yining stood in the main hall, his figure was straight, like a Zhilan jade tree.
The queen stared at her faintly for a few seconds, and then spoke, smiling lightly: "Since Miss Tang Er said this, how can this palace not allow it?" Then you will replace the little county king to send a toast to the palace. ”
Tang Yining got the permission, and after thanking her, she asked, "Queen Mother, I don't know if you have any ideas about the content of the poem?" For example, what content do you need to use to write a poem? After all, it is more important for you to be happy, Queen Mother. ”
The peak of her words made the queen almost unable to maintain the expression on her face, and after taking a deep breath, she said with a smile: "This pavilion, the carved fence and the painting are too vulgar, there is nothing new, and I have heard a lot in the past." Why don't you write a poem about this palace? ”
Tang Yining knew that the queen was just deliberately making things difficult for her this time, and using the queen to write poems, if she did not do well, would it be possible to convict her for this? She walked a few steps back and forth in the temple when inspiration struck.
"The clouds want clothes, the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon."
The cups on the table were knocked over in an instant, shattering the residues of strong tea on the ground.
"Tang Yining! You are so bold, you dare to use Yang Guifei's appearance as a metaphor to compose poems for the queen, don't you know what happened to her in the end? ”
The person who said this was Ling Qingqing, the daughter of Ling Xiao, the four-grade ceremony, because she was the queen's distant daughter from a distant family, and she was also a queen's person, and she had been arrogant and domineering in this palace for several years. But because her temper was too impulsive, she couldn't get the emperor's favor for a long time, and her actions just now were completely venting her anger on Tang Yining's head.
But the queen favors her very much, no matter what she does in this palace, as long as she doesn't go beyond the rules and does things that are too out of line, she will turn a blind eye, and even the emperor doesn't care about her.
This Ling Qingqing is like the only woman in this palace who has won the "gold medal for avoiding death", and she relies on the queen to be her "aunt" who is three thousand miles away, and the whole person is even more domineering, when she meets the queen, her mouth is like a honey pot, and she doesn't even pay attention to the concubines of the six palaces.
The concubines who knew these points covered their mouths and laughed, saying that they should take a good look at Tang Yining's joke.
"The Tang Dynasty regarded fat as beauty, not to mention that Yang Guifei was bloated and out of shape, and the fact that she threw herself into a dry well is even more known to everyone, you actually forcibly put this kind of poem on the head of the queen's mother, what do you want to say?!"
It seems that it is indeed the rumored arrogance, Tang Yining is unhurried, but said in great detail: "This poem is written by the poet Taibai, the queen just said that she wanted to toast the poem, and did not ask the courtiers to give themselves, the courtiers' own poems are too shoddy, and only Taibai's poems can reflect the dignity of the queen." ”
Everyone looked inexplicable for a while, you know, at the beginning, they agreed with her to write poems instead of Xiaojun Wang Xie Tianrui, but they also fell in love with her reputation for not learning and not knowing, and they just wanted to see her ugly.
Tang Yining didn't care about everyone's expressions, and said: "If you want to wear clothes and flowers, it is the best appreciation for a beautiful woman, our queen is the same as Yang Guifei, she loves the peony flowers of the country and the fragrance of the sky, the queen is virtuous and virtuous, and Yang Guifei naturally can't look at her mother's back." ”
When the queen heard this, a smile immediately bloomed on her still gloomy face, and her lips, which were originally pursed into a line, slowly opened and closed.
"This statement is very reasonable, this palace looks at this toast poem seems to be very charming, and it is written by the poet fairy Taibai, and it is used in this palace, and this palace feels very good."
"You ......" was frightened by Tang Yining's eyes for a while, and quickly turned his head to look at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, don't be deceived by them, she is obviously making things up!" Ling Qingqing pointed at Tang Yining in displeasure and yelled.
Tang Yining was originally for Xie Tianrui to come out, so there was such a play, not to mention that Tang Yining is still the one in Xie Tianrui's heart, no matter what, Xie Tianrui will not let Tang Yining face everyone's unobtrusive accusations alone.
Subsequently, Xie Tianrui finally found an opportunity, and also smiled and stepped forward to clap his hands, and said: "The king of this county thinks that this poem is very good with our mother, and now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
As soon as his words fell, after a slight pause, Xie Tianrui turned his head and looked at the queen with a smile, and said, "I just don't know if the queen is very good, do you like it in your heart?" ”
This rhetorical question made the concubines present all focus on the queen's mother. You must know that this queen usually likes to use tactics to bully and slander them, but now Tang Yining and Xie Tianrui have actually won back a city like this, and sure enough, the two of them should not be underestimated.
The queen's fingertips trembled slightly, and she withdrew her gaze from Xie Tianrui, and then returned her gaze to Tang Yining.
Although this Tang Yining is from the identity of a concubine in the general's mansion, she has the ruthlessness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, especially the slender phoenix eyes that are slightly raised seem to hide two snow-white bright blades.
The queen smiled charmingly, only feeling that the Lingtai was clear and refreshing. As soon as the words changed, he said directly: "This poem, you wrote it very well, and this palace likes this poem." As she spoke, she raised her slender jade fingers, and the palace people on the side leaned into her ear.
Not long after, the palace man walked straight to Tang Yining with a plate of gold, silver and jewelry.
