Chapter Ninety-One: The Poppy

"Only when you take the school entrance examination? It's rare to take a vacation today, and you have to talk about political affairs with juniors? When the Empress Dowager Du heard Emperor Chu's words, she was quite a little complaining.

"Regardless of political affairs, the queen mother doesn't know, he is quite a poet, but he has been in the limelight in Xuan'an City recently, what I said is right?" Zuo Duyuan raised his head to Situ Xiyang.

"Your Majesty has praised it." Situ Xi touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

"Is it false, I will judge for a while, you can come here."

Emperor Chu beckoned to Situ Xi to get closer to him, Situ Xi hesitated slightly, and then walked to the edge of the fence of this high platform, stopped on the right side of Zuo Duyuan, and staggered his shoulders.

"Look down." Zuo Duyuan pointed to the people gathered around the flower temple, from above, the lively and noisy scene below can be described as a grand scene, looking into the distance, the flowers and horses flow in the flower market, the singing and dancing of the people do not stop, and the people visiting the garden are in full view.

"A quarter of an hour is enough for today's flowers?" Emperor Chu looked at Situ Xi with a smile.

"A quarter of an hour?" Du Shi frowned, in her opinion, Emperor Chu was very nakedly difficult.

The three princes watched from behind, and also felt that this condition was a bit harsh, Zuo Mingli also moved his lips, he seemed to have the intention to speak for Situ Xi, but in the end he chose to be silent.

Emperor Chu gave Du a gesture of Shao'an and no restlessness.

"Your Majesty, do you want to write about the pomp and circumstance in front of you? Or is it just related to the Flower Dynasty Festival? Situ Xi was not flustered, and asked the question clearly.

"You can do whatever you want, I'm just waiting to see your last words."

Knowing Emperor Chu's request, Situ Xi immediately pondered.

Du Shi on the side saw that Situ Xi didn't have the slightest intention of shirking, and he didn't even bargain with Emperor Chu on the time of composing the lyrics, and she was also a little interested for a while, seeing that he seemed to be confident like this, she began to look forward to it.

Situ Xi was thinking quickly at the moment, there are not many poems in his memory that can match such scenes, and even if some are read, they may not be in line with Emperor Chu's wishes, glancing at the Queen Mother Du Shi on the seat, Situ Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, he planned to take some tricks in this examination.

"Your Majesty, it's okay."

Situ Xi's calm voice suddenly sounded, making several people around him look surprised, the princes were a little surprised, Emperor Chu and the Queen Mother glanced at each other, and then their eyes fell on Situ Xi.

"Oh? It seems that those rumors are true, and I heard that your preface to the Taoyuan Poetry Conference was also completed in a very short time. ”

"Okay, you can repeat it." Zuo Duyuan waved his robe.

"Yes." Situ Xi stepped forward and held the railing with his hand.

"It's the Flower Festival. Red and purple compete for a list. ”

After reading the first sentence, Situ Xi paused slightly, Emperor Chu patiently waited for him to follow, Du Shi frowned slightly, she felt that this opening was a bit mediocre.

"It is rumored that the Jade Girl was born in the dynasty. Keisu light union Wusu, bright clouds. ”

This sentence abruptly made Zuo Duyuan raise his eyebrows.

"The red sleeves of the women sang and danced. Praise the pepper lift. ”

"Jun Xian Lie feasts Yao Chi. The queen mother and aunt have the same life, and there is no end. ”

After the word was finished, the scene fell into silence, and it seemed that they were all savoring the "Poppy Beauty", and after listening to it, Du Shi was smiling at the moment.

"Hahaha, you kid, you're really slippery." Emperor Chu's hearty laughter broke the silence, he pointed at Situ Xi with his finger, shook his head with a smile, "It's a pity, 'Jun Xian Lie Banquet Yao Chi', if this word is made tomorrow, it may be more appropriate, but if it reaches the ears of some people, I am afraid that you will be crowned with a crown and hat called 'flattery' again." ”

"Father's words are wrong, Fuyu Gongzi's words are sincerely congratulating his grandmother, and he is not a bent welcome, and others must not be sarcastic."

The person who interjected was the one standing on the far right of the three princes, Situ Xi was the only one who had never been in contact with him, and from the outside, he was the thinnest of the princes, a little too thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it.

Everyone present should have heard his words, but Emperor Chu didn't pay attention to him at all, and Du Shi also glanced at him when he heard this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little less.

Situ Xi couldn't help but look at him a second time, it seemed that the third prince should play a similar role among his brothers as he did when he summoned the country.

"This word makes the mourning family very happy, Fu Yu made this word in total less than half a moment, His Majesty said before that he is quite poetic, but the mourning family does not agree with it at the moment, such a talent, can no longer use the word 'quite'." Du Shi also got up at this time and walked in front of Situ Xi and began to look at him seriously.

Thousands of clothes, sycophants are not worn, and he received a birthday message a day in advance, and Du Shi is in a good mood at the moment.

"It is also his honor to be praised by the queen mother, since the queen mother likes this word, the minister will write it down and give it to the queen mother."

"Come on, take pen and ink."

A maid quickly brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the table, and Emperor Chu walked to the table and picked up the pen.

"Very good, very good. The emperor, you have written in the imperial pen, and you will definitely show it to the hundred officials tomorrow. Du Shi nodded happily, she looked at the neat handwriting that slowly appeared on the rice paper, and suddenly thought of something, "'Praise the pepper pill', then tomorrow let people prepare some pepper wine at the banquet." ”

Emperor Chu did not allow it, and the eunuchs on the side wrote it down.

The pen walked the dragon and snake, the manuscript of Emperor Chu was freshly baked, Situ Xi took a closer look, and the handwriting was strong through the back of the paper.

I don't have to say that Emperor Chu's calligraphy is excellent, although it is not his turn to evaluate.

Seeing the completion of the ink treasure in front of him, Situ Xi couldn't help but say to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, this word was read to you by the kid, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Situ Xi's rhetorical question, Emperor Chu put his pen aside, he frowned slightly, thinking that Situ Xi was in a hurry to ask him for a reward.

"Your Majesty, you should also give the kid a copy." Situ Xi didn't seem to see his displeasure.

Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud again, "You kid, interesting, interesting!" Okay, I'll write another separate one for you, but I won't give you any other reward after that. ”

"I didn't expect that Fu Yu is not only brilliant in poetry, but also has such a unique vision, the emperor's calligraphy, but it is better than gold and silver ten thousand taels, no, but the mourning family is speechless, this is not comparable to the smell of copper." The Queen Mother Du also smiled.

Situ Xi also nodded, he asked the Chu Emperor for his calligraphy works, not just to compliment him like a minister, he really thought that this inscription by the Chu Emperor himself could be sold for a good price.

The calligraphy is excellent, and the name of the Emperor of Chu is blessed, he decided to take it home and collect it later, and when the time comes to leave the Chu State, he must sell it, and he is already thinking in his heart who to trade with is not easy to have problems.
