Chapter 3: Everyone's jaws dropped

The scene is for pairs, the time for a cup of tea, even if Princess Meixi's uplink is prepared early, for these talents, it is not considered to bully them.

Cao Zijian became a poem in seven steps, and speed and passion are king.

Now we need a little urgency.

Just now, he was still mocking the frivolity of the princess of the small country, and at this time, dozens of doctors and writers were wiping their sweat.

Seeing that everyone was shocked by her five words, Princess Meixi did not arrogantly mock and attack, but looked nervous, bowed her head and rubbed a piece of jade pendant hanging from her waist.

Raising his eyes from time to time and secretly glancing at Li Mu, Li Muyun was light-hearted, as if it was none of his business.

Princess Meixi felt that something bad was going to happen, this teenager, so that her inflated self-confidence was inexplicably curbed.

Seeing that more than half of the time had passed, the princes and talented men on both sides did not say anything except for peeking at each other and shaking their heads.

Li Longji's lazy body sat up straight, and asked Gao Lishi in a low voice: "What's going on?" Isn't it usually an export chapter? Are they all dumb now? ”

Gao Lishi bowed and nodded, and said, "It is estimated that this is more tricky, and I am stumped." ”

Li Longji snorted coldly, very unhappy, and immediately calculated in his heart, if these literati lost the face of the Tang Dynasty today, and then cleaned them up one by one.

At this time, Li Bai moved, approached He Zhizhang, and whispered in his ear: "I thought of one, using the Three Teachings of Confucianism and Taoism to be right, it is quite appropriate." ”

He Zhizhang said: "I think of the three talents of heaven and earth, but if I hate it, I hate it in this three, and the people are three lights, so we can't use three, right?" ”

Li Bai nodded gloomily and retreated to the side, the number three that he hated, he had to use three things to correspond to the sun, moon and stars of the upper link, but the first word couldn't use three?

Even Li Bai and He Zhizhang were dumbfounded, and the rest of the people were even more confused.

It turns out that couplets are more difficult than poems. Today is a lesson.

Colliers saw that the time was coming soon, and if he delayed any longer, he would lose the dignity of a great power.

asked Li Longji in a low voice, Li Longji's face was ugly, and he wanted to take the opportunity to train the princess of Goryeo, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

"A bunch of trash." Li Longji scolded in a low voice.

Gao Lishi turned around and glanced at He Zhizhang, He Zhizhang shook his head in shame, Gao Lishi was helpless, and he was about to announce the result.

Suddenly, Li Mu took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, "Grandpa Gao, is the time up?" ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Go back to His Royal Highness, the time will come soon." ”

Li Mu asked again: "Hanlin Academy and all the talents, do you have a couplet?" ”

He Zhizhang stood up tremblingly and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am ashamed of the old man, and you don't have a proper link. ”

Li Mu said: "So, our Datang lost? Just lost? ”

Li Mu seemed to be questioning, more like a reprimand.

Everyone lowered their heads, Datang lost? Four words, every word pierces the heart.

Why did Datang lose? How can you lose?

It is a big country and talented people everywhere.

Poetry and articles are the best in the world.

A little princess of a subordinate country, with five words, tore the supreme honor and dignity of Datang culture to shreds?

He Zhizhang sat down dejectedly.

The crown prince Li Heng said, "Li Mu, what do you mean by this?" Everyone can't get the next link, you seem to be very happy? You are gloating, what is your intention? ”

Li Heng usually has a cold relationship with Li Mu, so he took the opportunity to teach Li Mu a lesson at this time to cover up the embarrassment at the scene.

Li Mu hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I misunderstood my little brother, how could I gloat, but I just thought of a pair of lower links, and I didn't dare to show ugliness in front of all famous Confucians, so I asked this question." ”

"What, you thought of the next link?" Lee Hyung's jaw almost dropped.

Everyone almost dropped their jaws in shock, and they all looked at Li Mu together.

Princess Meixi glanced at Li Mu, and suddenly wanted to cry, the victory in hand would definitely be taken away by this eccentric guy.

Even Li Longji stood up, took two steps, and said loudly: "Twenty-one, you really said the next couplet, say it quickly, if you can win against Princess Goryeo, what do you want, I will reward you?" ”

Li Mu saw that his father had spoken, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, father, the child obeys the order." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Li Mu with eager eyes, none of them thought that it was Li Mu, the twenty-first prince, who came to save the life.

The honor of the Tang literati depends on you.

After Li Mu finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Gao Lishi, and said, "Father-in-law Gao, you are tired of laying paper." ”

Colliers excitedly walked to the table and laid the paper and ink himself.

Li Mu approached Princess Meixi, grinned, and said, "Princess Meixi, I have been in poor health recently, this arm is sore, I really can't lift the pen, how about driving Princess Meixi to write on my behalf?" ”

Li Mu is cunning and vulgar, just wanting Princess Meixi to write the next couplet by herself, which is equivalent to slapping herself in the face.

In addition, where does Li Mu write with a brush? I wrote it myself, crookedly, and I didn't get laughed off by a bunch of people.

Princess Meixi immediately blushed, lowered her head and asked, "Does the prince really want me to ghostwrite?" ”

Li Mu said: "The princess is unwilling? ”

Princess Meixi hurriedly said, "Yes, of course I do." ”

Then, Princess Meixi approached the table, picked up the pen, and looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu raised his head, forty-five degrees, now is a good time to pretend to be forced, how can he let it go, keep his posture, stop for a few seconds, and then glance at everyone present.

Li Mu said: "Your upper link is the three rays of the sun, moon and stars, and my lower link is: four poems and elegant songs." ”

After Li Mu finished reading, it was quiet.

Suddenly, everyone applauded.

Four poems and elegant songs!

It is too neat, and it is heroic, which further highlights the demeanor of a great country and the inheritance of poetry.

It's subtle, it's so subtle, I just hate why I didn't think of it just now.

After Princess Meixi finished writing, she couldn't help but applaud, and inexplicable tears burst out of her eyes.

The heart of the infusion is taken orally.

Li Longji shouted hello three times in a row, and then sat back on the dragon chair, feeling very happy.

This twenty-one, there are two hits, I don't see it, I still have such a clever and good son!

Li Mu returned to his position, and when he passed by Princess Meixi, he said softly: "Princess Meixi, tomorrow morning, I will see you at the gate of my house." ”

Meixi nodded blankly, this prince, I don't know if he was malicious sarcasm, or if he really wanted to see it, but he suddenly felt flustered.

This bad guy beat me up today, and he will sweep him tomorrow, and next, I don't know what else to make me do?

Why do I blush and my heart beats when I look at him? I can't refuse anything he says?

Princess Meixi fell unconsciously.

Next came the prince of Siam, Hari, who paid tribute to the seeds of a hundred kinds of vegetables, fruits, and food crops.

It was full of five large boxes, and of course Li Longji preferred these seeds.

However, Prince Harry, too, put forward a condition.

He finally took out a small box and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, there is another precious gift here to offer to Your Majesty,"

As he spoke, Prince Harry opened the box, and a strange smell immediately diffused in the hall.

Li Longji hurriedly covered his nose and shouted in a deep voice: "What is this, so stinky? ”

Prince Harry pressed his right hand on his chest, bowed down and said: "This gift, although it smells a little, but after a while, when the smell dissipates, there will be a special fragrance, which is a rare good thing." ”

The two palace maids hurriedly fanned Li Longji, and sure enough, before the smell dissipated, there was a strange fragrance, faintly transmitting.

Li Longji asked, "Prince Harry, do you also want to make a couplet or write a poem?" ”

Harry smiled and said: "Poetry, mine can't, I'm a rough person, if all the princes and adults present can say the name of this thing, or know what it does, I am willing to stay in Datang and teach everyone to cultivate and plant all kinds of seeds I brought." ”

Another provocateur.

But Prince Harry is not as aggressive as Princess Meixi.

Li Longji was originally a king of entertainment, he liked to be lively, and when he saw that Prince Harry was simple and sincere, he liked it in his heart, so he immediately let everyone see it, and then said the answer.

Dozens of figures, all surrounding the box, saw this thing, like a big winter melon, but the shell was very hard, covered with spikes, more like a big hedgehog with a curled body.

Some of them touched it with their hands, sniffed it closely, tossed for a while, and stood up separately, but everyone shook their heads.

This is more difficult than a poem to a pair, I've never seen it before.

Then Li Longji looked at Li Mu, and everyone's eyes also looked at Li Mu.

This time, Li Mu didn't engage in mystery again, but approached the box, took out this strange thing, and put it on the table.

"Father-in-law Gao, borrow a fruit knife and a dinner plate."

Colliers ran excitedly and brought a knife and a plate.

Li Mu didn't explain, cut it along the lines with a knife, then took two pieces of pulp, put them on a plate, and personally served them to Li Longji.

Li Mu bowed down and said: "Father, my son has seen this kind of thing in a broken book, it is called durian, it is a fruit, and it is called the king of fruits. ”

Prince Harry was surprised and kept nodding.

Li Longji sniffed with his nose and asked, "This thing tastes weird, can it really be eaten?" ”

Li Mu said: "Not only can you eat it, but it is also a good thing to nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang," Li Mu said, cutting a small piece and feeding it to his mouth.

"Father, this durian not only tastes mellow and smooth, but even the spiky shell is also very useful!"
