Chapter 402

After coming out of the palace, Princess Yanguang returned to the princess mansion and immediately called the eunuch who was preparing for the poetry meeting.

Princess Yanguang was favored by the emperor, who specially rewarded ten eunuchs to serve the princess.

This smart eunuch was named Jiang Gui, and he had been educated for several years, so it was Jiang Gui who prepared the poetry gatherings at the Princess Mansion.

"Princess, please don't worry, this poetry meeting has been fully prepared!"

Jiang Gui has prepared poetry gatherings several times. He is always a smart and careful person, and he has made no mistakes several times in a row, making Princess Yanguang's poetry gathering the most famous poetry gathering in Fengxiang Mansion.

Princess Yanguang is very satisfied with Jiang Gui, but tomorrow's poetry meeting will be the last one before Qiu Wei, and she is being paid attention to by her father, so she naturally has to do a better job.

Princess Yanguang said to the maid beside her:

"Wan'er, bring over the treasure that King Jianning gave to me."

Wan'er immediately said: "Princess, that is your favorite."

Princess Yanguang said: "Looking at your ignorant appearance, it is said that you will come back after all your money has been spent. If you are willing to give up, you will get something."

Wan'er brought a sandalwood box, and Princess Yanguang opened the box herself, only to see a music box lying among a ball of brocade.

The shell of this music box is made of pure gold and is inlaid with various gemstones.

Princess Yanguang wound up the clockwork, and the music box produced melodious music.

The song "To Alice" is timeless and beautiful. After listening to the music, Princess Yanguang said with unfinished meaning:

"I heard from the envoy of Shang Liu that this song "Song of Princess Yanguang" was composed when Tandi missed me, but why didn't I know that Tandi had the talent to compose music?"

Wan'er immediately smiled and said: "My servant heard that the envoy of Shang Liu was proficient in music and could play music with a strange instrument similar to the pipa. Could this music box be a gift from the envoy of Shang Liu to King Jianning?"

Princess Yanguang picked up a pillow and threw it at Wan'er, saying coquettishly: "I'll let you chew your tongue!"

Looking at the slowly playing music box, Princess Yanguang said slowly: "Tu leather, wood, stone and gold, plus silk and bamboo, this is the music box. The small box can automatically play such a beautiful melody,

This thing is really ingenious!"

Princess Yanguang said to Jiang Gui: "Let out the wind. This music box is the reward for the first place in this poetry competition."

Jiang Gui immediately fell on the ground and said, "Princess, this is your beloved thing!"

Princess Yanguang said: "This poetry meeting is the last poetry meeting before the Autumn Palace. After the Autumn Palace, the court will move back to Chang'an. This may also be the last Autumn Palace we hold in Fengxiang Mansion."

After escaping hastily from Chang'an, Princess Yanguang's life was divided into two parts by the Maweipo Mutiny.

The first half of the story is about a pampered but unfavored royal daughter. Although she is married to a prince in Chang'an, her husband is not close to her. The prosperity and extravagance of Chang'an are the best years flowing deep in Princess Yanguang's memory.

Starting from the Maweipo Mutiny, her husband who was in name only was strangled to death by the rebels. In a panic, Princess Yanguang followed her father to Lingwu, and watched her forbearing father ascend the throne in Lingwu.

From this time on, Princess Yanguang became a considerate daughter and a smart princess of the Tang Dynasty. She was good at using her identity to balance the relationship between the royal family and foreign ministers. Her second marriage gave her a new stage.

Princess Yanguang has righted her position and is good at dancing both inside and outside the palace.

Soon, the news that Princess Yanguang gave out her beloved treasure as a lottery ticket for this poetry gathering spread throughout Fengxiang Mansion.

Although the fighting on the front line was tense, the joy of regaining Chang'an washed away the previous tense atmosphere.

On the contrary, Qiu Wei has gradually become a hot topic of discussion among the people.

After all, Qiu Wei is the country's talent show. In this era where talent and learning are the selection criteria, Qiu Wei is no less than a national talent show in later generations.

And the momentum these young scholars built before Qiu Wei was also equivalent to the audition propaganda for Qiu Wei.

This time Princess Yanguang's poetry meeting was like a preview before the finals.

So when the poetry meeting was held, the front of Princess Yanguang's courtyard was already crowded with people watching.

"Have you heard? All the seventeen sons of Longyou will participate in this poetry gathering this time?"

"The Seventeenth Son of Longyou, are you the candidate from Longyou who recently became famous in Fengxiang Mansion?"

"Of course it's them! The seventeenth son of Longyou is now the most popular person in Fengxiang Mansion!"

"I didn't expect that this time Long You's son would become a blockbuster. I am afraid that Long You's seventeenth son will lead the literary world of the Tang Dynasty!"

"I wonder how many of the seventeenth sons of Longyou will be able to win this autumn!"

"Let's see if this poetry meeting can produce a masterpiece that will last forever!"

The players who got the invitation came to Princess Yanguang's villa together.

Looking at this elegant courtyard and the scholars in rich and jade robes coming and going, Wang Chengwei only felt a psychedelic sense of fragmentation.

Although the world is in such troubled times, the nobles, nobles and literati of Fengxiang Mansion are still trying to maintain the afterglow of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The life in Fengxiang Mansion is still luxurious, but in the once prosperous land of Guanzhong, there is no longer one out of ten households in Chidi.

The literati still gathered at the princess mansion to recite poems and write poems, which made Wang Chengwei very unhappy.

Zhou Bo said to Wang Chengwei:

"Brother Wang, I didn't expect the minister of Fengxiang Mansion to be so extravagant."

Wang Chengwei nodded and said: "It is said that the Tang Dynasty was extravagant, but I didn't expect that even the two capitals have not been recovered, and it has spread all over the Fengxiang Mansion."

This villa of Princess Mansion is located near the city walls of Fengxiang Mansion. It was originally a mansion of a wealthy businessman. When the court came to Fengxiang Mansion, the wealthy businessman donated the mansion to the royal family.

This house was presented to his beloved daughter by the emperor. Later, the princess's mansion hired craftsmen to renovate the house.

Craftsmen introduced running water from the moat and artificially created a branch through the courtyard.

Princess Yanguang was also a person who loved elegance. She named the poetry gathering "Qushui Liushang Banquet" according to the allusions of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

The literati who participated in the poetry meeting sat around the water in the courtyard, while the maids placed wooden wine sets and tableware upstream.

The wine in the wine set will drift downward with the water in the courtyard, and people sitting around the water can pick up the wine and drink at any time.

The carefully cooked delicacies will also be placed in wooden vessels and float down with the flowing water. People who want to eat can take them out of the flowing water to eat at any time.

This was the first time for the players to see such a luxurious scene, and they turned on the video system one after another.

Zhou Bo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It depends on the Tang Dynasty to start the party! The show is full!"

The boy at the roll call at the door took everyone's invitations and shouted loudly: "The seventeenth son of Longyou is here!"

Wang Chengwei resisted this name, which was similar to that of an idol group.

But since the name of Longyou Seventeenth Son was established, he quickly became famous in Fengxiang Mansion.

After the roll call, all the literati and scholars present focused their attention on this "group" that had recently become famous in Fengxiang Mansion.

Wang Chengwei and a group of others were all wearing cotton gowns. Although not as gorgeous as silk, these printed cottons were brightly colored and printed with eye-catching patterns.

Moreover, cotton is warmer than silk and is taller and straighter when worn on the body than soft silk.

As the seventeenth sons of Longyou became popular in Fengxiang Mansion, their clothes also attracted the attention of the literati and scholars in Fengxiang Mansion.

Although cotton and linen are the clothes of common people, scholars who have not passed the imperial examination are still ordinary people. Some students from poor families, in order to not look shabby when visiting friends in Fengxiang Mansion, even have to sell their land to buy a silk dress.

People in the Tang Dynasty were very extravagant. Although officials were not appointed based on their family background like those in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, poor scholars who even wore good clothes were still looked down upon.

Seeing the seventeenth son of Longyou wearing cotton cloth confidently in and out of the mansions of dignitaries, the cotton cloth shipped from Longyou became a new choice.

In the commercial shop in the backyard of the Longyou Dudu Mansion, all kinds of printed and dyed fabrics were very popular, and tailors who could sew cotton-padded clothes were also doing a brisk business.

Many of the scholars who participated in the poetry meeting at Princess Mansion were wearing cotton clothes.

In this kind of occasion, it is natural for familiar people to sit together in a group. Wang Chengwei found an empty place, and a group of players sat down happily.

The number of people gradually increased. This time, all the young students who are famous in Fengxiang Mansion were invited to the Princess Mansion Poetry Festival, and the seats beside the water were filled with people.

When the poetry meeting began, a clear chime sound sounded, and an eunuch held his voice and shouted:

"The princess is here!"

Princess Yanguang, wearing a gorgeous red robe, walked into the courtyard surrounded by her maids.

It has to be said that in terms of appearance and temperament, Princess Yanguang is the top "female NPC" that players have ever seen.

"Feng Yun of the Tang Dynasty" has been jokingly called the "Monk Game" by players. There are very few female characters in the entire game. Although there are many Orchids with different styles in Longyou, there are almost no famous female NPCs.

.

Princess Yanguang's unique royal and mature temperament overwhelmed the audience as soon as she appeared on the stage, and players turned on the camera function one after another!

Who said we don’t have female characters in Datang Fengyun!

How can such a royal noblewoman be compared to those coquettish bitches!

Princess Yanguang sat under the pavilion on the uppermost side of the flowing water, and the maid named Wan'er shouted in a clear voice:

"In the second year of Zhide, when I was in Dingyou, I met at Princess Fengxiang's mansion in late autumn. All the virtuous people have arrived, and the young and old have gathered together."

"Princess Zhi said, this poetry meeting uses literature to make friends, which is a blessing for today's literary world."

"The poems written in this poetry meeting will be copied into a collection and sent to His Majesty the Emperor for his inspection."

The scholars present were all excited. Being able to give it to the emperor for imperial reading meant that it could be well-written and catch the emperor's eyes. As long as it could leave his name in the emperor's heart, there might be more hope of becoming a Jinshi.

.

Seeing that the atmosphere below was gradually heating up, Wan'er said again:

"Her Royal Highness the Princess also presented a rare treasure as a gift to the person who came first in this poetry competition."

"As for the title of this poetry meeting."

Only Princess Yanguang, dressed in red, was seen standing up from her bed and placing a delicate wooden tree in the flowing water.

The maid Wan'er said: "Princess Zhi said, the theme of this poetry meeting is things in the flowing water!"
