The appearance of Princess Danyang surprised Bai Song slightly.
However, the other party is a princess different from women.
The princess's eyes sparkled not only with arrogance and nobility, but also with an elusive flavor, just like the words she said lightly after she appeared.
A princess, in front of so many people, directly said the words "I like you". Even though everyone knew that the love Her Highness said was not between a man and a woman, it still felt strange to hear such words.
He also said that he wanted to sit with Bai Song, which was also somewhat inappropriate with the secular ethics.
Everyone was thinking carefully, but they also waited for a long time, hoping to go in without saying anything. They looked at Bai Song in front, and the group of people lowered their heads and followed.
When Bai Song arrived behind the princess, he bowed slightly and stopped moving forward.
"Mr. Bai, what are you hiding behind? Come here."
Princess Danyang waved her hand gently and pointed to her side, indicating that Bai Song should go along with her.
Bai Song frowned slightly, feeling that the princess was a little weird. He lowered his head and looked at Ma Zhou, asking him what was going on?
Ma Zhou shook his head repeatedly and whispered: "You can't do it!"
"Mr. Bai, I am a monster? Are you afraid of walking with me?"
The voice of the princess in front of her came again, with a delicate flavor in it, making it difficult for people to understand the young master's thoughts.
After Bai Song was told this, he didn't care about Ma Zhou. He simply raised his head, looked at the princess, straightened his back and walked over.
"The common people should not go side by side with the princess, but because the princess has a destiny, the common people dare not disobey her."
"Giggle..." Princess Danyang covered her mouth and chuckled, "You are indeed a scholar who can write water-melody songs. At first glance, you can see that he is not an ordinary person. He is the person I like."
As he spoke, his sleeve flicked, revealing a hand as white as jade, and placed it on Bai Song's wrist.
The scholar at the back almost bit his tongue when he looked at it, thinking to himself, do you need to worry about the royal dignity? This... how unbecoming is this? Isn't Princess Danyang already married?
The literati were very surprised, but the palace maids in the waterside pavilion were not surprised.
Bai Song captured this detail and knew that this princess usually had this attitude, and he felt much more at ease at the moment.
Princess Danyang looked at Bai Song and her hand on his wrist. Seeing that Bai Song was calm and composed, without any panic, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand and pointed to the throne under the waterside pavilion: "Young Master , take me there."
This waterside pavilion is very spacious, with many wine tables arranged. According to the layout of a banquet, the main seat is to the south, the long table is larger, there is a goose down blanket under the table, and there are all kinds of chrysanthemums piled around it. It's like a man's seat.
Looking again, I saw where the prince was. It was on the side of the main seat, next to the window and facing the water. There was a small table in front of him, which was covered with all kinds of food and debris. It looked messy.
But the person sitting in this seat is Li Chengqian.
The rest are surrounded by some guest seats, which are exactly the same as outside, with the same things on display.
When Bai Song saw this, he became confused. Based on this arrangement, it was obvious that Princess Danyang was in charge here, and the position of the prince was put aside.
Although Princess Danyang is the elder of the prince, in the royal family, the status of the country is higher than that of the family. No matter where they are, no matter how many generations older they are, in front of the prince, everyone else is a minister.
There was something wrong with the location in the waterside pavilion, but no one said anything. Even Li Chengqian didn't care and seemed to be used to it.
Bai Song watched and asked the princess to hold the back of his hand and go to the main seat.
The princess sat down with a smile and greeted several scholars who came in to sit down in the guest seats.
Everyone sat down, but Bai Song stood beside the princess.
The princess looked at Bai Song: "Mr. Bai, why don't you sit down?"
Bai Song frowned, and everyone also frowned.
Princess Danyang pulled and forced Bai Song to her side.
"I'm not feeling like you're sitting on pins and needles next to me, right?"
"How could it be? With the princess by your side, it's like a spring breeze, and it's not too late to enjoy it."
"That's good."
Princess Danyang settled everyone down and raised a glass first: "It's rare for me to go on a trip today. It's been too long since I've been exposed to the culture of some talented people in the capital, so I've called everyone to come to Xiangjiazhuang to have a few drinks together. Come on, don't be formal, everyone.
I would like to propose a toast to you all."
Everyone thanked him one after another and raised their glasses to drink.
Bai Song also drank, but looked away from the prince.
The prince seemed to be completely out of touch and indifferent to everything here. There was only a palace maid waiting on him, and he didn't even look at the literati here.
Bai Song looked at it and secretly thought that with the appearance of the suit, he was probably around thirteen years old and not mentally mature yet, right?
Bai Song still had some impressions about Li Chengqian's deeds.
Among them, historical records say that Li Chengqian was lame and had a disease in his legs.
I checked today and found that Li Chengqian's legs and feet are fine and there is no problem at all.
It seems that the records in the history books are not entirely correct.
"Mr. Bai, what are you looking at?"
"The prince over there..."
"Young master, don't worry about him. He's just a child. I just want to see you today."
Bai Song frowned slightly and thought to himself that it turned out that the princess came to see me under the guise of the prince because she wrote a song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"?
In this way, it is completely different from Bai Song's original idea.
But it's also a good thing. The princess wants to see him, which is better than the prince wants to see him.
The princess wanted to meet, but it was more important than poetry, but she just liked to interact with literati, and it was a personal relationship.
The prince wants to meet, and he will serve for the East Palace in the future. It is a siding with others, and the nature is completely different.
This princess is a little weird, but it's a good thing that she can get away today.
After a few drinks during the dinner, everyone was waiting for the princess' instructions. There should be some topics for the literati gathering today.
But the princess just let everyone drink, chatting quietly with Bai Song, leaving the others aside, making people envious and jealous.
What the princess said was just some trivial household information. She talked about how she heard the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and how she was filled with emotion when she first heard it. It was not like meeting Bai Song for the first time, but more like a long-standing friend.
After a few minutes of this, a palace maid came to the door and said, "Your Highness, the singer you invited is waiting outside."
"Please come in."
"yes."
The palace maid turned around and quickly came in with a singer.
Bai Song looked at it and saw that it was a bright moon.
Mingyue kept her head lowered, very nervous, but she didn't see Bai Song.
The princess said: "Everyone, please listen to two little songs here first. I have something to do, so I will come back later."
Everyone stood up one after another: "Best farewell to Your Highness the Princess."
After saying that, he didn't stop and just left.
Mingyue put down the piano step by step, tuned it for a sound test, and then sang a familiar song, but she didn't notice Bai Song winking at her at all.
At this time, Princess Danyang had arrived at the entrance to the corridor outside the water pavilion. Behind the flower corridor on the first floor was another small pavilion with a smaller layout. There was an old man sitting inside, and opposite the old man was Lu Yao, who had not been seen for a long time.
.
"See Your Highness the Princess." Lu Yao knelt down and bowed in obeisance, fearing that he would lose his etiquette.
Princess Danyang's eyes changed, she became cold instantly, and asked the old man: "How is this man?"
"This person is astonishing in his knowledge and quick in writing and thinking. He is a rare genius."
"How is it compared to Bai Song?" Princess Danyang asked.
Before the old man could speak, Lu Yao raised his head and said with a confident smile: "The talents of the Bai Song Dynasty are thousands of miles away from mine!"
"Thousands of miles apart? Why didn't you make that water-melody song?"
The old man stepped forward and presented a piece of paper: "Your Royal Highness, this is the head of a water melody song written by this person."
Princess Danyang looked at it carefully and nodded slightly: "It's not as good as Mingyue, but it's still a good song. It also has the temperament of caring about the country and the people. It does have some ability."
"It's just a poem, but the Bai Song Dynasty got inspiration and created a masterpiece. I, Lu Yao, swear to God that with my talent, I can beat the Bai Song Dynasty a hundred times! The Bai Song Dynasty has a crab poem, and I, Lu Yao, can also write one
A crab poem, please comment on it from the princess!"
"Oh? Come and listen."
"Living wine glasses to each other in the water corridor and flower pavilion, Chang'an salivates in anticipation of the Double Ninth Festival.
The road in front of us has no longitude and latitude, and the spring and autumn sky in the skin is black and yellow."
"Okay!" After hearing this, the old man sighed in admiration and said with a smile, "Princess, you have heard that Bai Song's life is full of pleasure, so why should you be afraid of changing the East China Sea for ginger soup? This work is full of competition and will not give in. Bai Song praises crabs, but this son scolds
Crab! Excellent!”
"It's interesting... Then I will give you a chance to fight with Bai Song. As long as you can make Bai Song embarrassed in public, I will send you to the Ministry of Industry as a minister."
