Chapter 36 Winking at the Princess
Zhao Lun and Qin Feng agreed unanimously, and Emperor Yuan said: "Since it is a double character, it doesn't matter where Feihua is, as long as there are double characters in it, the limit is changed from seven characters to a maximum of fourteen characters, you two can
Do you understand?"
Both of them bowed their heads to express their acceptance, and Eunuch Hong said: "Your Majesty, please give me two words."
"Then the wind and the moon, the wind and the moon cannot be in the same place, how about two separate sentences?" Emperor Yuan temporarily raised the difficulty: "If one party cannot confront it in time, it will lose, and today's selection ranking will be determined."
The faces of the defeated gentlemen at the table were ashen, and Guo Shitong lowered his head. He had already reserved the last place.
The suspense now is who will win first place, Zhao Lun or Qin Feng?
Fengyue separated, Qin Feng frowned, the single word Flying Flower Order became a double word, the upper limit of seven words became fourteen words, this is a double plus!
Seeing Qin Feng's expression, Qin Taifu threw his hands to his side, unable to hide his nervousness, Qin Yun pretended to comfort him: "Please don't worry, father, the second brother will do his best, but when the second brother is proficient in poetry, it is surprising.
No idea at all.”
Qin Yun knew that his father was very suspicious and he was always good at controlling everything. If the second brother did something in private without telling his father, and if he failed to become the consort, there would be consequences when he returned home.
He was planting suspicion now, and it would be effective later. Taifu Qin really frowned, but he thought that his second son had lived in a side courtyard for a long time, and he rarely paid attention to him. Even if he had studied poetry hard, he had no idea.
For a moment, contrary to Qin Yun's expectation, Qin Taifu rarely felt a trace of guilt towards his second son. Thinking back to the scene of his loving relationship with the Liu family, he was filled with emotions.
.
Besides, Zhao Lun and Qin Feng took the orders. Zhao Lun was the first to bear the brunt and whispered: "The moon shines on the bedside and the snow is flying, and thousands of trees rest on ice and the wind falls asleep."
Qin Feng suddenly felt that he saw a desolate scene. The house was bare and the windows were broken. The moon shone down to the bedside. Snow flew into the house and floated to the bedside. It was freezing outside and the cold wind blew in late at night.
The master fell asleep together.
This is so depressing. Considering Zhao Lun's background, this poem can easily be connected with his previous experiences, which is lamentable.
Even Emperor Yuan showed pity on his face and sighed: "It's not easy."
The mere word "Qu" is also touching, but Zhao Lun is like a piece of pig iron, bowing to express his gratitude with an expression on his face. Qin Feng took back his thoughts and also chanted: "The bright moon scares the magpies when the branches are apart, and the cicadas chirp in the breeze in the middle of the night."
If Zhao Lun's poems are compassionate, Qin Feng's poems are free and easy, with a little comfort of life, one sad and one happy.
Most people sympathized with the misery, but they were even happier. The corners of Emperor Yuan's lips raised, as if he had seen the beautiful scenery in Qin Feng's poems, and he nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Eunuch Hong hurriedly asked the two to continue. Zhao Lun glanced sideways at Qin Feng and chanted: "The wind surges through the sand at the border in summer, and the moon shines on the willow tops in the lonely summer night."
Xiao Lingyao suddenly raised her head, looking at Zhao Lun with burning eyes, clenching the fan in her hand, her joints protruding, and her eyes seemed dissatisfied.
Zhao Lun lowered his head slightly. Compared with the previous sentence, this sentence was full of grief and indignation, and he wanted to express all the suffering he had suffered before!
Seeing that Xiao Lingyao looked unhappy, Bai Lianzhou gloated and whispered, "What kind of stimulation did Mr. Zhao get? Selecting a consort for His Highness is a very happy event. He recited these depressing and sad poems to make people unhappy."
Zuo Pingdao was not happy that he was eliminated, and said coldly: "Master Bai is very thoughtful and has no worries. Master Zhao also stayed until the end."
Bai Lianzhou's official position is not as high as that of Zuo Pingdao, and he is afraid of Dali Temple's methods. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, he smiled and said: "Xiaguan just has a temporary feeling, and has no other intentions. Compared with Mr. Zhao, Xiaguan cares more about Qin Langzhong's performance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng over there said happily: "The wind is blowing the maple leaves on both sides of the bank, and the moon is shining on a lonely boat."
Continuing, Zhao Lun's face was already a little unkind: "The mountains and moons don't know how old they were, and the water and wind are empty, and the flowers in the mirror are reflected."
Qin Feng secretly thought that it was difficult to deal with, and he suddenly said: "Have a good night of feasting, enjoy the beautiful moon, and the beautiful woman is cultivating bamboo to bring the breeze."
After he finished reciting the poem, he glanced at Xiao Lingyao affectionately with his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his lips. This was tantamount to openly showing his affection for Her Highness the Princess.
Bai Lianzhou was so angry that his hands were shaking. This young man had so much courage to wink at Her Highness the Princess in broad daylight in front of Emperor Yuan. However, he had a handsome face and had been sick for many years. He looked weak, so he didn't care.
Obscene.
Xiao Lingyao seemed to take great advantage of it. Her plump lips spread slightly, then she lightly pursed her lips and covered her face with her fan, looking very shy.
This is clearly a scene where the man is affectionate and the concubine is interested!
Zhao Lun was startled, and Eunuch Hong reminded him: "Master Zhao, please."
The scene just now was too dazzling. Zhao Lun paused. As soon as he chanted a word, he felt something was wrong. His face turned livid and his eyes darkened: "The wind blows... the wind, that's all. Wei Chen lost."
However, Qin Feng was well prepared: "Dancing low to the moon in the heart of the willow tower, singing to the wind under the peach blossom fan."
Zhao Lun was even more embarrassed and annoyed. This sentence was clearly meant to cater to Her Royal Highness. However, he was shocked by Qin Feng's actions just now and got stuck halfway. Now he can only accept the defeat!
Until the last moment, Qin Feng still had the upper hand. Regardless of Zhao Lun's ugly face, he said calmly: "Master Zhao, I accept."
Xiao Lingyao cursed secretly, taking advantage of herself. Don't think she didn't know that he was using the skill of ogling her to distract Zhao Lun and disrupt Zhao Lun's rhythm to win. She pretended to be calm, but deep down she thought
I will settle this account later.
Suddenly he thought that he had decided to recruit him to join the gang, and he would eventually be on the same boat, and the anger in his heart finally diminished a bit.
"Today's literary battle is extremely exciting, and all the gentlemen will be rewarded. Eunuch Hong, I will tell you later. If you give me wine, I will give you March Red."
Eunuch Hong quickly accepted the order. The March Red was Emperor Yuan's favorite wine. It was produced in the land of Nanyue and had its unique fragrance only brewed in March. The quantity offered as tribute each year was limited, so Emperor Yuan specially collected a batch.
, a rare reward in ordinary times.
Zuo Pingdao and others quickly stood up, and together with Qin Feng and Zhao Lun, who were still standing tall, saluted: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yuan finally showed his fatigue and ordered Eunuch Hong to announce the results on the spot. In this competition, Qin Feng won the first place, followed by Zhao Lun, followed by Zuo Pingdao, Bai Lianzhou, Qi Heng and Guo Shitong.
Except for Qin Feng and Zhao Lun, everyone had complicated feelings about this holy favor, especially Guo Shitong, whose ears were red and could not lift his head.
