Chapter 4 Good Poetry!
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Li Ran smiled elegantly, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and said:
"The clouds want clothes, the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. 」
After a single thought, the audience was silent!
In particular, some civil officials with bachelor's degrees were even more shocked, as if they had witnessed Wenqu Xing descending to earth!
They all sighed at this poem, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the imagery is ingenious, and it is ingenious to use clouds to metaphor clothes, flowers to metaphor people, to describe the noble beauty of women!
It's just a stroke of genius!
But......
This kid dares to use this kind of slightly provocative and ambiguous poem to describe the empress who dominates the world and reigns in the world, and he dares to risk the world's disapproval and completely open up!
Thinking of this, everyone glanced at the empress on the dragon throne, only to see her phoenix eyes flashing, her red lips slightly pursed, and she looked very useful!
"It seems that this poem is well chosen, and it hits the boss's appetite. ”
Li Ran looked at this scene and breathed a long sigh of relief, but it only lasted for a moment, and his smile was completely frozen in his heart!
What's next?
Damn, I still have an impression just now!
His heart was cold, like falling into the abyss.
It turned out that this Li Bai's "Qingping Tune" was remembered by accident when he watched a movie of Yang Guifei a while ago, and he deliberately went through it in his heart just now, but he didn't expect it to be stuck, snap, and stuck!
However, he did not show timidity, he still looked at the sky affectionately, looking intoxicated with poetry and unable to extricate himself.
After all, nearly 100 people in the audience are looking at themselves, and they have to play enough!
"There's no way, I can only find a similar poem to make it up!"
"There it is!"
Between the lightning and flint, Li Ran's aura reappeared, and then he chanted:
"Looking back and smiling"
"There is no color in the world"
Haha, I've picked it all up, I'm a fucking SKR genius!
Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he subconsciously replaced the "six palaces" in Bai Juyi's original poem with "the world", after all, there is no such thing as a harem in the empire where women are in power.
As for imagery and rhyme, there is no need to think about it at all, with the literary level of this world, the poems of Lao Li and Lao Bai, the poems of the two bigwigs, can be put together casually, which is enough to beat everything.
Sure enough, after reading this sentence, the eyes of the civil officials who looked at him had completely fallen, and their expressions were both shocked and excited!
Li Ran peeked over and saw that the empress was already a dragon's heart, and the corners of her lips naturally revealed a smile!
"Hehe, woman. 」
"No matter what status you have, don't you all want to be praised by men? as long as the sycophants are in place, even if you are an extermination master, you can only let go of your Dao heart and float to the sky!"
"Well, it seems that some of the emotional chicken soup on WeChat has not been drunk in vain. 」
Under the admiring gaze of the audience, Li Ran waved his sleeve robe in a chic manner, as if incarnating Li Taibai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "Your Majesty, minister, the recitation is over." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden curtain of light shot out of his mind:
[Mission target detected: "Empress Xuanyue" has significantly increased her favorability, and the system determines that the task has been completed!]
【Congratulations!You have successfully completed the Starter Quest!】
"Ding, activating the system for you, please wait—"
"System Activation Successful!"
"Storage unlocked!"
"The Points Mall has been unlocked!"
"The character properties panel is open!"
...
"Haha, it's finally done!"
After three days of hard work, this moment was finally ushered in, and Li Ran was excited!
The system is in hand, I have it in the world!
Hey, accidentally became the hero of the online article?
He was happy in his heart, and was about to glance at the system panel, when the voice of the empress came from his ears:
"Li Ran, I love this poem very much, I don't know what the name of the poem is?"
The name of the poem?
Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This poem is the grass people's congratulatory view of His Majesty's face, it is better to call it "Ode to the Goddess"!"
"Okay, you are a talented and good-looking Li Ran, but you are quite good at talking. ”
The empress smiled and looked at a white civil official next to her: "Kong Hanlin, I wonder if this poem is eligible to be included in the "Great Xuan Anthology"?"
Kong Hanlin looked like a person who would come to things, and when he saw that the boss had expressed his position, he immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this poem is beautiful and timeless, not only has to be recorded in the "Great Xuan Anthology", but it also has to be recorded in the scriptures and history, and it will be passed down through the ages!"
The empress nodded, and then looked at the audience: "Li Ran, I appreciate your talent very much, if you are from a scientific examination, I will definitely give you a bachelor's degree and serve me around, but it's a pity that ......"
She sighed slightly: "Well, with your talent, it will be beneficial to be able to serve my princesses wholeheartedly, and to serve the country and the people——"
"In this way, according to the example of the Great Xuanzu, the selected candidates need to draw lots to choose the princess they serve, but I see that you are talented and eloquent, so I specially gave you to the "Princess Lingqiu", you are compatible with her talents, and you will be able to make the best use of them. ”
When the empress said this, the audience shook, and all the young people looked at Li Ran's gaze, and they were even more envious!
You must know that among the four princesses under the empress's knees, the one she values the most is the nineteen-year-old eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu.
This Princess Lingqiu can be said to have inherited all the advantages of Empress Xuanyue, under her soft and gentle appearance, there is a shrewd and capable king's heart, she is not only talented and beautiful, but also has amazing martial arts talent, and has always been treated differently by Empress Xuanyue, focusing on cultivation.
Although the position of "Emperor" has not yet been established, in the eyes of the world, it is already the palm of the eldest princess!
And now, the empress gave Li Ranqin to the eldest princess, her intention couldn't be more obvious, this is the rhythm of helping the successor to choose a deputy!
If the eldest princess becomes the crown prince, Li Ran will become a "prince" above 10,000 people, glorifying her ancestors and being illustrious, how can she not be envied!
Li Ran didn't think about it so much, he doesn't care what bullshit princess you are, he just wants to study the system as soon as possible, and embark on the invincible and respected protagonist of the online article as soon as possible!
He opened his mouth, and was about to agree casually, when a light curtain of information flashed in front of him again:
You have received a main quest!】
[Mission Goal]: Win the favor of the fourth princess Xiao Wan'er within a month and become her gentleman.
[Quest Rewards]: Unlock more system surprises!
[Failure Punishment]: The host explodes on the spot, dies on the spot, and the soul escapes back to Earth and becomes a real salted fish.
"Damn! This dog thief system is forcing Lao Tzu to death step by step!"
Li Ran had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.
Now that the empress has given him to the eldest princess, how can he be the fourth princess Xiao Wan'er's gentleman again?
Isn't that?
"Could it be...... If you want me to openly resist the decree, will you not be able to do so?"
Li Ran's heart was shocked.
"Damn, both horizontal and vertical are dead, I can't care so much, coil her!"
After weighing it for a while, Li Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Grass people...... The grass people ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked!
In the more than 800 years since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty, it is the first time that someone dares to reject the empress who reigns in the world in the court!
Everyone looked at the handsome young man standing in the hall with frightened, stunned, and caring eyes.
The empress frowned slightly, and her eyes also showed a hint of anger!
It was the wrath of the emperor that made the people of the world fearful!
Under the eyes of the audience, Li Ran's brain was running rapidly, trying his best to think about the next rhetoric......
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he finally thought of something.
"Back to Your Majesty. ”
Li Ran took a step forward and said affectionately: "The grass people have admired a woman since they were children, and they have already sworn in their hearts that no matter what happens in this life, they will stay by her side and accompany her for the rest of their lives, if they can't fulfill their wishes, they would rather be lonely for life!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
The expression on the empress's face also changed from anger to surprise.
"Hmph! Okay, you rebellious Li Ran, since you have a heart, why do you want to sign up for the selection of Jun Shilang, do you know that this is a bully! Ten skulls are not enough to cut off!"
Liu Liang, the big eunuch next to him, shouted at the top of his voice.
"Dead eunuch, who are you screaming so loudly to scare you?
Li Ran frowned, of course, he only dared to say this in his heart.
Then, he bowed respectfully and looked directly at the empress: "Your Majesty, the woman that the grass people have admired for many years is none other than His Majesty's fourth princess, Princess Wan'er!"
As soon as these words came out, the shock in everyone's eyes was even more exaggerated than before!
Everyone knows that Empress Xuanyue has four daughters under her knees, all of whom are beautiful and captivating, but their personalities are very different.
The eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu is calm and introverted, meticulous in handling things, and has won the support of many civil officials in the DPRK and China.
The second princess, Xiao Qingxue, is outstanding in martial arts, heroic and cool, and has gone out in armor many times at a young age, and the women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows.
Although the third princess Xiao Hanshuang has a weak personality, her talent and martial arts are not weak, and she is a qualified daughter of the royal family.
Only this fourth princess, Xiao Wan'er......
In the words of Li Ran's previous life, this girl is simply a wonder!
That's right, as an imperial daughter, she is a mess, she doesn't know anything about martial arts and reading, and she loves to get into trouble everywhere when she has nothing to do!
Last month, he secretly released the spirit beast "Colorful Fire Phoenix" of the Holy Beast Garden!
You must know that this firebird has been locked up for more than a hundred years, and he has been holding grudges in his heart for a long time, and this rediscovery suddenly summoned a large rain of fire, burning down many houses in the imperial capital along the way, and even Li Ran's mansion and his family suffered heavy losses.
This kind of "crazy" woman is avoided by all the noble children of the entire imperial capital, and there are still people who fall in love with her?
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the empress spoke:
"Li Ran, it's rare that you are infatuated, I am very pleased, but I am a little curious, you have no contact with my Princess Wan'er, what is it about her that you admire?"
"Well....... this"
didn't expect the other party to say such a sentence, Li Ran was directly stunned, with his ability to defy the sky, he was speechless!
Falling in love with a severely brainless girl like Xiao Wan'er is originally a logical error, and you can't break it forcibly!
At this time, the inspiration flashed again!
Li Ran suddenly thought of a classic line in "Journey to the West"!
Under the eyes of the audience, I saw him slowly step forward, raise his handsome and flawless face, and said:
"Dare to ask Your Majesty—"
"Do you need a reason to love someone?"
