"Writing poetry?"
Prince Ekie was no stranger to this: "The palace often holds literary salons, and I have seen many great writers and poets, who wrote classic poems engraved on the splendid golden walls of the palace, and the servants of the palace would recite these classic poems. ”
"Are bards popular in Versailles?" Aldington asked.
"Very popular, you know, the poem of the Three Saints of Senna, Saint Flolabis Sun Cuckoo, was my poetry teacher, and I can recite all his classic poems." Speaking of this, Prince Aiji was quite proud of his little pride, and his eyes lit up again.
In the knightly system, strength is naturally the most important foundation.
If this is a chaotic dark age, everyone will inevitably yearn for the strong, and strength will be king, and nothing else will be said.
It's just that the Plantagenet Kingdom has been stable for more than 5,000 years, and the border war has not affected the extravagance within the kingdom at all. When a person is rich and developed, he must want to fill the empty spiritual world, so the prosperous knightly system can reproduce a splendid culture.
In the capital city of Versailles, poets, painters, musicians, and even actors are no less sought after than knights.
The same is true for aristocrats, it is important to fight and kill, and it is equally important to eat, drink and have fun, if you don't enjoy the moment, why bother working hard in the first place.
Aldington sighed with a slight regret: "I have heard of his name for a long time, and I would like to visit Versailles and discuss with the poet how to compose classic poems. I heard that the cruise ships on the Seine are as dense as horse-drawn carriages on the streets. ”
"Teacher Flolabis is not something you can see casually, and the aristocratic banquets to which he is invited can be arranged from spring to autumn, and even my father has to make an appointment for him."
"I didn't just invite him to the dinner, I wanted to discuss my creation with him."
"Haha, Aldington, you must be telling a joke, right?" Prince Ekie was amused, "Many young bards wanted to consult Teacher Flolabis, but they couldn't even get in. ”
"Am I not okay with me?" Aldington pretended to be surprised, and suddenly liked the feeling.
"Of course, you have to have a certain name of the poem before you can hand it over to Teacher Flolabis's house, so please don't invite you in."
"I'm visiting in the name of the Bloodline Knight?"
"Teacher, he should let you in, but he will ask his old servant to send you away, the teacher is not a knight, and does not value the glory of the blood nobles...... If he doesn't let you in, Lord Dragon Knight will definitely trouble him, so let you in, and then ignore you, and you will learn that it will be difficult to retreat. ”
Aldington sighed, "Then I can only visit in the name of a bard." ”
Prince Eggy flattened his mouth, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Aldington was a hillbilly, and he didn't know anything about himself: "Then you will definitely not be able to enter the gate." ”
"I should be able to go in."
"Forehead ......"
"I've heard that Versailles has a strong focus on talented minstrels, but any bard who can write a classic poem is in demand at the moment. This is what my uncle told me, and he has published a book of poems, "The Secret of Hector and the Forest Fairy", have you heard of it, Your Royal Highness? ”
"Haven't you heard of this poetry collection, has he written classic poems?"
"I don't think I wrote it."
"No wonder I haven't heard of this book of poems." After despying the "self-sufficient" uncle and nephew, Prince Eggy still kindly reminded, "Aldington, if you really like to write poetry, you should hire a bard to be a teacher in little Versailles, teach you how to compose, and when you write classic poems one day, visit Teacher Flolabis." ”
"As long as there are classic poems, you can visit?"
"Of course, the teacher's more than 40 years of creative process has only created 16 classic poems."
Sixteen classic poems, it sounds like a real great poet, Aldington immediately said: "Your Royal Highness, I happen to be qualified to visit Teacher Florabis, but I don't have time to go to Versailles for the time being, can you help me bring a letter of greeting?" ”
"Huh?" Prince Aiji didn't react for a while.
At this time, Viscount Dulick, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation for a long time, moved over directly and said: "Your Royal Highness, Aldington is not only an awakened knight, he is also a bard who has written two classic poems, and is hailed as the next master by the little Versailles poetry circle. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Aldington, and found that Aldington had changed after awakening, no longer the honest boy he was at the beginning, and became ...... Greasy, he actually acted in front of Prince Aiji.
Aldington seemed to guess Dulick's thoughts, and responded with a faint smile, all without saying a word.
Only Prince Eggy, who heard "two classic poems", was left with his mouth wide open and stared at Aldington, not knowing what to say. And Drucker, who was on the sidelines and scolded Aldington to prevent Aldington from corrupting the prince, also looked at Aldington like a monster.
He quickly decided that it would be better to talk less, he thought he was a good luck awakening bloodline, but he was greedy for fighting crickets, but it turned out to be a great poet!
Such a character can't be provoked.
The atmosphere was a little cold, and seeing that Prince Aiji's face gradually turned red, Dulick kindly relieved the siege and said: "Aldington, read your two classic poems to His Royal Highness the Prince, as a student of the poem St. Florabis, you can ask Your Highness to help you comment on one or two, and fortunately it will be published smoothly in Versailles." ”
Versailles is the capital and a mecca of literature.
Petit Versailles, the capital of the Danube province, was the largest city on the northeastern border of the kingdom and was just as prosperous.
It's just that in the eyes of everyone in the Versailles literary circle, little Versailles belongs to the wild and isolated countryside, so they naturally look down on the little Versailles literary circle. It's been a week or two since the newspaper was published, and two of Aldington's classic poems have not yet been circulated in the Versailles literary scene.
Of course, given the slow communication between the two places, the newspaper at Versailles had to obtain authorization from Aldington himself if it wanted to publish it.
I got a step.
Prince Aiji, who blushed, stammered, "I...... I can't, I'm not qualified to comment on classic poems, no, but I can take Aldington's work back and give it to the teacher. When the time comes, the Royal Press publishes a new monthly collection of poems, just in time to put your work in. ”
Showing a face to a twelve or thirteen-year-old child doesn't actually have much sense of accomplishment, even if the other party is a prince.
So Aldington did not go any further, but said, "Then please Your Highness the Prince, I have great respect for Mr. Flolabis, and I really hope that he will comment on my poems...... Your Royal Highness the Prince, I read poems, the first one is "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms", this is the first time I have written a poem, and I was inspired by chance. ”
He finished reading the poem in frustration.
The breeze blows in the face, and the interior suddenly gives people a sense of freshness, which undoubtedly triggers the blessing of nature.
"That's amazing!" Prince Eggy no longer dared to underestimate Aldington, on the contrary, a trace of admiration for Aldington suddenly arose in his heart, he was also a teenager, Aldington had become a great poet, and he was still distressed that he failed his daily homework.
Looking at Aldington's handsome face, he couldn't help asking, "Aldington, how many years have you been studying poetry?" ”
