Three people came from afar, Xiao Min still dressed in men's clothing.
But her hair is tied up with a silver ring, and her white clothes are like a dream, as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and flutters like snow in the flowing wind.
The cold eyebrows are like paintings, suitable for both joy and anger, the wonderful eyes are flowing, the stars and the moon are the eyes, the ice heart is shy, and the name of the beautiful woman is as thin as jade.
"Your Majesty, the envoy is right." Xiao Min was neither humble nor arrogant. He was neither arrogant nor arrogant when he first entered the palace, nor was he triumphant during the talks.
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao is graceful, graceful and charming."
Xiao Min smiled slightly: "I am always inferior to the prince who is domineering and arrogant."
Zhao Tong laughed loudly, but this girl revealed her true colors in just two sentences. She was also a vengeful person. I don't know if she was pretending or doing it on purpose.
He shook his head and said: "Whoever is the hero who drinks and sings wildly will be the hero."
Xiao Min's expression changed slightly: "The prince has great ambitions."
Zhao Tong smiled slightly and said nothing. What he saw today, every move, word and deed would probably be transmitted to Yelu Dashi's ears intact. And with this girl's personality, she would definitely add oil and vinegar to make sugar not sweet, but vinegar to make it more sour.
Yelu Dashi is an extremely important figure in the future situation. It is related to the specific direction of Zhao Tao's next plan. Although the two of them have not officially walked on the stage and played chess in the vast sky, they are both testing themselves and looking for the future. The way to break the situation.
When the snow starts to clear up, Fang Jian will test the world, it will be like this.
Zhao Tong said: "Since I opened my palace, I have never entertained guests, and Messenger Xiao is the first one."
Xiao Min's eyes moved and she said, "That envoy is really honored."
Zhao Tong smiled and said to the Split Golden Pavilion in front of him: "The flower path has never been swept by visitors. The gate is now open for you. Messenger Xiao invites you."
Entering the Split Golden Pavilion, you will see another scene. This pavilion is the most luxuriously decorated place in the entire palace, inlaid with gold, jade, and shining pearls.
But this is the only one. The rest of the palace, including Zhao Tong's bedroom and study room, are slightly shabby compared with some of the ministers and ministers of the court.
Xiao Min didn't know, and secretly made another note in his heart. King Qi was exaggerated and so luxurious.
There are windows on three sides of the pavilion, lightly covered by light green gauze. Suddenly the wind comes and lifts a corner, and the charming scenery can be easily seen outside.
Zhao Tong took the main seat, and Xiao Min took the guest seat on the lower right. The table was a long table from the Spring and Autumn Period, painted in crimson color, with slightly rolled sides and a tiger pattern. Within a short time, the food and drinks came one after another.
Not to mention the dishes, there are all kinds of colors and styles, animals from the mountains, geese in the clouds, cattle, sheep from land and fresh food from the sea.
Looking at the wine, there are nine types, namely grape wine, orange wine, pear wine, lychee wine, orange wine, pomegranate wine, coconut wine and honey wine.
There is also a large crystal vase, which is green and clear, but it is filled with green bamboo leaves.
In addition, there are all kinds of drinks, sweet, sour, fragrant, honey, hot and cold, which are dazzling.
Even though Xiao Min had an extraordinary background in the Liao Kingdom, he had never seen so many tricks. Listening to the maid next to him introducing them one by one, his cheeks turned red.
After a brief sip, Zhao Tao clapped his hands, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard, and the colorful clothes were danced, then the little girl raised her voice and sang the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal" by Huaihai layman:
Thin clouds make tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and silver men are far away in darkness. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world.
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can't help but look at the Magpie Bridge on the way home. If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night...
At this time, the Liao Kingdom was not as prosperous as the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom also had all kinds of poems and poems that were found in the Song Dynasty. It was especially good at poetry. Officials and nobles also mostly recited poems and poems in Chinese, and wrote articles in both Chinese and Khitan. , although the level is average, the culture has been almost assimilated.
So, when Xiao Min heard these words, her face turned red, and then turned pale. What does this bastard prince mean by letting people sing such words? Anger rose in her heart, she slammed the table and glared at Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tong looked at her, just closing his eyes slightly, as if he was intoxicated in the music of poetry. Seeing that he ignored him, Xiao Min stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered Dashi Linya's instructions, took a breath, and just stared at her carefully. Zhao Tong waited until he stopped pretending to be crazy, then went to question him.
It was just a song. After a break in singing and dancing, Zhao Tong opened his eyes and said, "I love Qin Xueshi's poems the most. Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, so this poem is suitable for the occasion... Hey, Messenger Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
When Xiao Min heard this, how could he still question him? He was embarrassed at first. He didn't expect that today was the Chinese Valentine's Day, so he couldn't help but said: "Young man, I forgot that today is the Qiao Qiao Festival."
Zhao Tong said with a smile: "Qixi Festival, Qixi Festival, it will be a great pleasure for me and Messenger Xiao to spend the Qixi Festival together."
Xiao Min's eyes immediately became wary, but Zhao Tong continued: "Messenger Xiao, you can listen to whatever lyrics you want. These are all female musicians from the Jiaofang Division, and they are good at any lyrics that are somewhat famous."
Xiao Min rolled his eyes when he heard this and said: "When I was in court, I was already rotten by the words. Today, I just want to hear something new. The prince has long lost his literary reputation and is famous among scholars. Why don't you fill it out on the spot and let the envoy know it?" How’s your experience?”
Zhao Tong burst out laughing when he heard this. As expected, it was not too late for this young lady to take revenge. He said, "I haven't written poems and lyrics for a long time, and my hands are rusty."
Xiao Min said: "The prince is too modest, and the envoys in the court have heard of the prince's talent. How can this... talent be unfamiliar? Could it be that Fang Zhongyong is really there."
Zhao Tong looked at her, reached out and picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, shaking his head.
Xiao Min said: "Your Majesty is unhappy."
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you really want to see it?"
Xiao Min said: "I would like to see the prince's style."
Zhao Tong thought for a moment and said, "Then I, the king...will show my embarrassment just once?"
Xiao Min said: "My lord, wait a minute, it's better to ask the envoy to bring up the cards!"
Zhao Tong wondered: "Why is this so?"
Xiao Min thought to himself that this King of Qi was cunning. If he wrote randomly and gave him a frivolous poem title or allegorical word card, he would be at a disadvantage. If he was not allowed to write poetry, he would give him a card to fill in. , fixed the word tone and let’s see what other tricks he can come up with!
She said: "The little envoy has been admiring the Cipai for a long time and looking at the famous names in the sea. No one around me can do it well. I hope the prince will give me some advice."
"Looking at the sea tide?" Zhao Tong looked at her. This little girl is very scheming. From the beginning to the later generations, there are only a few famous poems of this word brand, including Liu Yong's Southeast Xingsheng and Qin Guan's "Looking at the sea tide". There is also Nalan Xingde's "Moling Wind and Rain". The first two are famous, and the lyrics they wrote are also widely circulated in the Liao Kingdom. The latter one is really unreliable. The opening sentence is that the ancient tomb is desolate and the suburbs are cold.
He remained silent, and Xiao Min sneered in his heart, "What two kings do you really think they can compete with King Chen to win eight battles?" If I still want to recite poems in seven steps, I may not be able to avoid making people laugh. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel happy.
She said: "If the prince is drunk, he can do it after he wakes up. The envoy can wait at the post house. He can get advice from the prince before he returns to the court. If not, he can return to his country and wait."
Zhao Tong looked at her, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, let's do it and see."
Xiao Min smiled sweetly: "In that case, the envoy will wait for the prince's good words."
