As soon as Shen Zhuangxing arrived, he immediately became the focus of the audience, accompanied by Li Yunrao, chatting and laughing with the male and female guests, and it was obvious that they were all familiar with him. Burn? Wen Xiao?? said Murong Yunqing was curious: "Who is this surnamed Shen?" I heard that these men and women attending the meeting were all sons and daughters of the princes and nobles of the capital, and it seemed that they were very close to him. ”

Leng Xiaoxiao said: "I have also heard of this person's name, but today is the first time I have seen it." I heard that he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was very famous, so he was a guest of many royal families. As for his origin, it is not clear. Murong Yunqing said: "Wow, it's quite mysterious. ”

Yan Wuwu suddenly asked, "How is his martial arts?" Leng Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I only heard that he is a literary and elegant scholar, and he doesn't seem to be a martial artist." Yan Wuwu pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "It's not a big deal." Murong Yunqing said with a smile: "You are a carefree son, you can only use martial arts." It seems that in your eyes, only Xiaoyunzi is a good person. "Everyone knows that she is talking about Ye Suiyun.

Yan Wuwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it... Forehead... Of course we're all good people... And my master。。。。。 The more he talked, the more he couldn't continue, and he looked at Murong Yunqing embarrassedly.

At this time, Shen Zhuangxing walked here accompanied by Li Yunrao, although he didn't know everyone, he still smiled politely, nodded lightly, and when his eyes fell on Tang Xiyao, he couldn't help but stop, stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a smile, but his eyes did not move at all.

Li Yunrao said: "Let me introduce you, this is... Without waiting for her to finish, Shen Zhuangxing preemptively said: "This must be the second girl of Tang, I have heard the girl's name for a long time, and Zhuang Xing is polite." He bowed as he spoke.

Li Yunrao sighed and said, "How do you know who she is?" Shen Zhuangxing said with a smile: "Miss Tang is the daughter of the Tang clan of the Sichuan and Shu clans, and her reputation for talent and appearance is spread far and wide, so it is difficult for people to think about it." Don't hide it from the princess, Zhuang Xing also heard that Miss Tang will participate in the poetry meeting today, so he came to see the style. ”

Li Yunrao smiled and said: "Wow, it turns out that you are a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink, and you made a special trip to show up for Xiyao." As she spoke, she put her arms around Tang Xiyao's shoulders and asked, "What's the matter, is this princess's friend worthy of her reputation?" What she thought to herself was that in addition to meeting Leng Xiaoxiao, another reason for holding this poetry meeting was to find a favorite person for Tang Xiyao. And this Shen Zhuangxing is the most outstanding figure among them, he obviously favors Tang Xiyao, so he is happy to match.

Shen Zhuangxing sighed lightly and said, "After seeing the real person, I realized that those rumors in the market are unreliable. Everyone was surprised that he would say this, and Li Yunrao's face sank and said: "Childe's words are too rude." Shen Zhuangxing shook his head and paused: "Because Zhuang Xing knows at this moment, no matter how the legend describes the girl's beauty, how can it be compared to one-ten-thousandth of the true appearance." ”

Tang Xiyao was originally calm and calm, but after all, she was just a young girl, and when a handsome young man praised her appearance so face-to-face, she still couldn't help blushing and said, "Shen Gongzi has won the award." ”

Li Yunrao laughed and said: "Now in our great Chang'an, it is not easy to see the side of Gongzi Wenjia, today is an opportunity, many friends gather, please ask Shen Gongzi to show his piano skills, and play a song for us first." At this time, all the surrounding women also gathered around, and when they heard the princess's proposal, they all chattered and clapped their hands in agreement.

Shen Zhuangxing smiled and said, "Since the princess has an order, I dare not obey it." I wonder if Miss Tang has any favorite tunes? ”

Tang Xiyao smiled lightly: "I don't know anything about the tune of the piano, Shen Gongzi, please take care of yourself." In fact, for her, although she is not proficient in music, how can she know nothing, but she just doesn't want to have more entanglements with Shen Zhuangxing.

Shen Zhuangxing smiled slightly, walked to the piano and sat down, ten long fingers gently plucked the strings, as if to measure whether the timbre was accurate. Then the soft melody flows slowly, ethereal and graceful, so that people can't help but revel in it.

Murong Yunqing whispered to Tang Xiyao: "This person's piano skills are indeed good, junior sister, this song 'Butterfly Love Flower' seems to be played against you." Tang Xiyao pretended not to understand and said, "Really? ”

Yan Wuwu said beside him: "Haha, I almost forgot, your Qin Saint disciple is here, and the surname Shen is really an axe." Murong Yunqing was praised by him, and his heart was happy, as if he still needed to say.

Ye Suiyun lightly pulled Qi Yufeng and Leng Xiaoxiao, who were closest to him, and whispered: "This guy is a big man, and he still wears flowers on his head, so weird" Qi Yufeng frowned and didn't speak. Leng Xiaoxiao said: "My Tang Dynasty is now in its prosperous age, these sons and buddies are gradually becoming popular, learn from the style of Qin and Jin, do you say that flower is brought casually?" Only recognized talents can be admired, and if you don't believe it, there are many more in the distance. Ye Suiyun looked at it, as Leng Xiaoxiao said, in addition to Shen Zhuangxing, there is no shortage of people with flowers on their heads.

Qi Yufeng said coldly: "I don't know if it's talented, but I'm sure of one thing." Ye Suiyun hurriedly asked, "What?" "He's more annoying than you are." After Qi Yufeng finished speaking, he didn't look back and went to the front. Leng Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "Have you offended him?" Ye Suiyun shook his head with a wry smile, and saw Lan Xiang walking into the venue with Li Muchen.

Since Li Muchen entered the palace, he was close to the Taiye Pool, and his eyes had been searching, so he naturally saw Ye Suiyun from a distance, but at this time, there were a few strangers standing around him, so he did not approach. When she saw Ye Suiyun nodding to herself, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and gently bowed her head back.

At this time, after the song was played, all the guests applauded in unison and praised the beauty of this song. Shen Zhuangxing walked out, returned the salute slightly, and said: "Since today is a poetry meeting, why don't you start by throwing bricks and leading jade." Li Yunrao first praised: "Wenjia Gongzi's poetry is famous, please hurry up." ”

Shen Zhuangxing smiled and walked slowly in the flower garden by the pool, looked around a little, reached out and picked a pale pink begonia flower in his hand, walked out gently, and chanted: "The sky descends from the clouds and fairies around the clothes, and the sun shines in seven colors." The body is not worthy of the flowers, and the breeze only sends a piece of incense. After speaking, he came to Tang Xiyao's side, and gently put the begonia flower on Tang Xiyao's ear and sideburns, which was actually a public expression of admiration.

Qi Yufeng's face became even heavier, and he didn't say a word. Yan Wuwu was shocked, turned back to Murong Yunqing and said, "Brother Qi, what's going on with this strong killing intent?" Murong Yunqing hurriedly motioned for him to shut up. Although Ye Suiyun didn't like it either, he was more calm than Qi Yufeng, what he thought was that a good girl like Tang Xiyao would be liked by others, but this surnamed Shen was too shameless.

Everyone on the scene praised it, "good poetry" and "Wenjia Gongzi is really good", of course, most of them are male guests, and most of the female guests are secretly resentful, cast or envious, or jealous eyes.

Li Yunrao smiled and clapped her hands and said: "It's really a good poem, in the midst of thousands of flowers, but I only see and smell the fragrance of this begonia flower, what a meaning, Shen Gongzi." He turned his head and said, "Xiyao, this beautiful and vulgar begonia flower is really a perfect match for you, so beautiful." In that case, it's up to you to take the next poem. ”

Tang Xiyao smiled lightly, walked to the lake, plucked the flower from his ear, and said: "Although the flower is beautiful, it will lose its vitality when it is picked, and it will wilt and die after a short time. It is better not to touch the flower for personal preference, so that it can grow well, at least the beauty can be kept for a long time. After speaking, Tang Xiyao gently put the begonia flower into the water and slowly drifted away. Murong Yunqing and Yan Wuwu said at the same time: "Well said. Li Yunrao and Shen Zhuangxing were a little embarrassed.

Tang Xiyao knew that Li Yunrao had good intentions, and she didn't want her to be embarrassed, so she got up and said with a smile: "Since the princess has ordered me, the little woman is disrespectful and ugly." ”

Because of the early morning twilight rain, at this moment, I looked up, and saw a round of rainbows on the water surface, and a group of water birds crossed from Penglai Island in the lake. The flock of hooves went out of the nest, and the swallow's heart had returned. ”

Without waiting for Qi Yufeng and the others to applaud, they heard someone say: "Which girl is this, chanting such beautiful verses." With this question, the audience knelt down in unison, and it turned out to be the emperor Li Longji, who came to the poetry meeting with Yang Yuhuan, followed by many followers, no less than twenty people.

Today is the palace banquet of the Tianchang Festival, and in addition to the high-ranking ministers, there are many other leaders and celebrities from various places. You must know that it was the great Chang'an of the prosperous era of the ages, and such palace gatherings were always there. Li Longji raised his hand slightly and said: "Today is a festival and a game, everyone is more relaxed, and the gift of the monarch and the minister will be waived." ”

After Li Yunrao stepped forward to pay respects, she got up and grabbed Li Longji's arm and said, "Why did my father come here." Li Longji said with a smile: "After the banquet with everyone, I heard the waiter say that you naughty girl is holding a poetry party, so I came with everyone to make fun." Today, you are all prominent people who come to celebrate the Tianchang Festival, and you can't afford to slack off. Yang Yuhuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Princess Xuanning is smart and capable, and she can take care of herself." Li Yunrao's face was cold, and she said, "The concubine has praised her." Yang Yuhuan smiled awkwardly. Ye Suiyun and the others found that Xiao Ning'er was actually following behind Yang Yuhuan, but the pair of Ice Heart Swords that never left their bodies were missing from their backs.

Li Yunrao knew that there must be a lot of visitors after her father, so she hurriedly arranged tables and moved chairs to increase the venue. After the arrangement is completed, Li Longji is invited to sit in the main seat first, and then the guests are invited to sit in succession. The person at the head was naturally Li Linfu, and when Li Muchen saw his father, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Among the follow-ups, whether they are in the office or not, they are all dressed in luxurious daily clothes, not official clothes, I think it is because today's banquet is only for birthdays, and the prince is also among them.

Ye Suiyun was surprised to find that the white-haired old man Mr. Lu, who had a relationship with him in the Zoroastrian Temple, was also among them, and vaguely remembered that Elder Yi said that he was his old friend, but he did not tell the origin of this person, and now it seems that the origin is not small. At this time, he found that Tang Xiyao touched himself lightly, and when he looked down, it turned out that the arrogant and domineering An Qingxu was also in the middle, and he was holding a wine glass and laughing at this time.

The emperor smiled and asked, "Who is reciting poetry?" Tang Xiyao stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's a people's daughter." Li Yunrao took Tang Xiyao's hand and said, "This is Tang Xiyao, does my father still remember her?" Li Longji nodded and said, "Sichuan Shu Tang Clan, I remember." He gestured with his hand on his chest and said, "It turned out to be this little girl, and the last time I saw her, she was only so tall." Tang Xiyao said: "On behalf of the Tang family, the people's daughter came to Beijing to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have only listened to you from afar, but I feel that the charm is not shallow, and there is no deep meaning in the heart." Tang Xiyao's face turned red and he hesitated, and Li Longji asked with a smile, "What does Li Qing think?" ”

A middle-aged man stood up and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true, Miss Tang's poems are exquisite and elegant, unique, describing the beautiful scenery of this Taiye Pool after the rain, and it seems to say that a daughter's family already belongs to her, especially the last sentence is even more clear." Tang Xiyao smiled slightly, without words.

Li Yunrao was embarrassed, she knew that Tang Xiyao really responded to Shen Zhuangxing's confession before, and stepped forward and whispered: "You had an intention to fall in love with someone, why didn't you say it earlier, causing me to jump up and down for a long time." Tang Xiyao said angrily: "You never asked me." ”

Li Longji was quite surprised and said, "Is this true? Tang Xiyao said: "This Mr. Li is talented, and he can naturally see through the little girl's superficial rhetoric. "At the time of the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere was open and open-minded, especially the status of women was quite high. Although Tang Xiyao was born in a famous family, after all, he was a martial artist, so he said it neatly and without any twist, and admitted it directly. Qi Yufeng, who was poor on the side, felt sour in his heart, knowing that the person in Tang Xiyao's heart was definitely not himself.

Li Longji felt regret on his face, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I was still thinking just now, such a good girl is not an excellent candidate for the crown princess." The crown prince Li Heng sat next to him, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then dimmed.

Tang Xiyao replied: "Thank Your Majesty for your love, but I am afraid that the little girl will not be able to repay the emperor's kindness." Li Longji smiled and didn't care, signaled Tang Xiyao to excuse himself, and said to Li Yunrao: "I and Zhuqing came halfway, don't interrupt the poetry meeting, wouldn't it be disappointing, who should be next?" Li Yunrao replied: "I don't know yet, it depends on the will of God." ”

"Oh, what does that mean?" Li Longji asked. Li Yunrao took out a bamboo dragonfly and said, "Let it decide, whoever is closest to the bamboo dragonfly will publish the poem." The emperor laughed and said, "You girl has a lot of ideas." ”

Li Yunrao walked up to Leng Xiaoxiao, stuffed the bamboo dragonfly over, and said, "Leng Xiaoxiao, you come to lead." Leng Xiaoxiao didn't expect her to be surprised by this, and asked, "Why?" Li Yunrao said: "As a man, you have a lot of strength, can you gossip less?" Leng Xiaoxiao knew that this princess was the most unreasonable, so she didn't provoke her, and with a slam of her hands, she led the bamboo dragonfly into the air. He was afraid that the princess would find fault again, so he exerted his strength, only to see that the thing rose straight up to a height of two zhang, and after reaching the top, it fluttered left and right and fell, and with the light wind swinging on everyone's heads, it went around in a circle, and finally landed at Li Yunrao's feet.

The emperor laughed: "How can you, the host, escape, quickly write a poem." Li Yunrao snorted at Leng Xiaoxiao, as if she knew that you were deliberate, reached out and picked up the wine jug on the table next to her, filled the two empty wine glasses in front of her, held them one by one, pondered for a moment, saluted the sky, and said: "Tianyuan Jinbi Building, Qiong Jelly respects Jade Dou." Where the mind cannot see, what is most difficult to find. With that, he drank the wine in his right hand and placed the other wine glass in front of Leng Xiaoxiao.

There were cheers and compliments from the crowd. The emperor asked, "What does Li Qing think?" In fact, this poem is simple and easy to understand, and it is not a masterpiece, like a limerick poem on the street. Many people praised her, and the reason for this must be her noble status. But Li Yunrao is young, and she doesn't practice poetry much on weekdays, so it's rare to make a work.

Master Li stood up, but avoided talking about the likes and dislikes of this poem, and said: "The princess asked questions about the heavens with fine wine, and the lower officials couldn't help but ask, what is so difficult to find." ”

Li Yunrao sighed and replied: "Of course, it's really hard to find, I just hate that there are such fools in the world, and I can't see anything." Everyone saw her put the wine glass in front of Leng Xiaoxiao, and at this time, what she said was not ** naked to show her heart.

All eyes turned to Leng Xiaoxiao, only to see that this always calm and composed young marshal Tiance was extremely embarrassed at this time, his face was blue and red, and he was at a loss. He never thought that the princess would have affection for him. Tang Xiyao couldn't help but laugh, this Li Yunrao is really a character who dares to love and hate, but I'm afraid that Leng Xiaoxiao will suffer it in the future.

Yang Yuhuan said: "Your Majesty, Princess Xuanning has such a talent at such a young age, which is really admirable, and Your Majesty must give a valuable reward." ”

Li Longji smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's still thoughtful to Concubine Ai, I will come uninvited, I should show something." Whoever does a good job of poetry will be rewarded. Oh, girl, what do you want? ”

Li Yunrao didn't buy Yang Yuhuan's overtures, she wanted to say that she didn't want anything, but suddenly she was cold and small, and couldn't help but hesitate. Tang Xiyao was beside her, and when she saw this, she quickly pulled her and whispered, "You don't want your father to recruit Leng Xiaoxiao as a concubine, right?" ”
