There was silence in the main hall for a moment.
Nangong Yang suddenly turned his head and called to the side: "Wei Qi."
Eunuch Wei immediately bowed his head and said, "My servant is here."
Nangong Yang handed over the unicorn jade in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Give this jade to Luo Qing, he won it."
"yes!"
Wei Qi took the Qilin Jade respectfully with both hands.
Immediately, he lowered his head, walked down the steps, and handed it to the young man. He glanced at the young man in front of him with his gray eyes, and suddenly whispered: "Master Luo, where did you bury the little girl named Hua Gu? Yes? Remember that night, our family brought her into the palace."
Luo Qingzhou's extended hand paused for a moment, then slapped him hard on the face.
This loud slap not only stunned Eunuch Wei, but also everyone else in the hall was shocked.
When everyone's faces were full of shock and confusion, Luo Qingzhou said with a cold face: "Eunuch Wei, above this hall, your majesty is here, the queen mother is here, all the courtiers, sect masters, and distinguished guests are here, you are a mutilated person. Who has the right to scold me! You can scold me if you want. Why are you sneaking up in front of me and scolding me in a low voice? This piece of unicorn jade was obtained by my own ability. His Majesty personally promised to give it to me. Do you feel dissatisfied? Really? Who gave you the courage to speak dirty words here!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Eunuch Wei who was covering his cheek.
Wei Qi immediately said angrily: "Our family doesn't have..."
"Then what were you secretly saying to me just now?"
Luo Qingzhou asked sternly with an upright attitude.
Then he said: "What can't you say in this hall? Do you want to hide it from His Majesty, the Queen Mother, or other courtiers and distinguished guests from various countries?"
Wei Qi's face was gloomy and he was about to speak. At this time, Duan Wang Nangong Ke, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said: "I can testify that Eunuch Wei was indeed talking secretly just now. I thought he was explaining something on behalf of your majesty. , who knew, it turned out to be dirty words!"
At this time, Master Yun Shang, the master of Qingyun Temple, who was sitting not far away, also said: "I also saw that Eunuch Wei was talking in a low voice just now."
Fairy Zixia from Lingxiao Sect also said: "I saw it too."
At this time, even Prince Gray of the Mongolian Empire also gloated: "I am very curious about what Eunuch Wei scolded. Eunuch Wei, can you tell us so that we can hear the excitement?"
When Wei Qi saw something was wrong, and saw His Majesty's face darkening, he immediately made a "pop" sound, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed silently.
Nangong Yang said with a cold face: "Apologise to Luo Qing and get out!"
Wei Qi immediately turned around, kowtowed to the young man in front of him and said, "Master Luo, it's my fault that I'm a slave. I'm a mean-mouthed slave. Your Excellency doesn't remember the faults of others."
"roll."
Luo Qingzhou said calmly, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the image of that delicate figure involuntarily appeared in his mind, the scene of the fragrance disappearing and the jade dying that night.
Wei Qi immediately stood up, lowered his head and hurried out of the hall.
Nangong Yang didn't look at him twice. From the beginning to the end, his eyes were fixed on the young man who had been protected by everyone.
In the main hall, silence fell again.
At this time, from behind the bead curtain, the Queen Mother's voice came: "Your Majesty, let's start the second round. There is no need to ruin everyone's mood over this trivial matter."
A smile immediately appeared on Nangong Yang's face, and he said: "What the Queen said is true. It's really just a small matter. For that kind of disobedient dog slave, I will just kill him when the banquet is over. There is no need to be in a bad mood now." "
After saying that, he looked at the princes Gray and Larmore, picked up the wine glass, raised his glass to the people of the five major sects, and said with a smile: "Come on, let me toast you all again."
Everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
The abbot of Jinchan Temple did not come, only a few elders came, and they all knew Luo Qingzhou.
At this time, they had tea instead of wine, and neither of them spoke.
After everyone had finished drinking, Nangong Yang said with a smile: "Prince Gray, how about you answer the second question?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Gray immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then he thought for a while and said in a rough voice: "I am a vulgar martial arts practitioner. I am not as good as those literati who can pretend and say whatever they think. I am here today for the eldest princess of your country. I heard that your country The eldest princess is not only extremely capable, but also as beautiful as a flower. Therefore, the second question will be titled "Beauty". What do you think, Your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a moment.
Nangong Yang said with a smile: "Very good. Love between men and women is human nature. Ancient scholars and even emperors have written many poems with this title. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the title of Prince Gray."
Upon hearing this, Gray immediately turned his head, looked at Su Tu behind him, and said coldly: "Is it okay?"
Su Tu whispered: "I already have a draft."
Gray suddenly felt happy, turned around, looked at the others and said, "Okay, let's take "Beauty" as the title. This time, you go first!"
The literati immediately began to frown and think.
With "Beauty" as the theme, all poems and songs can be used. It is naturally not difficult for these top talents. But above the court, in full view of everyone, there are the Queen Mother and the eldest princess listening in the back room. Naturally, the work cannot be too casual and frivolous. It must be carefully considered and polished, so as not to make people laugh and offend noble people.
Nangong Yang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's drink first, eat the food first, and wait for them."
Everyone had been standing outside for a long time, and they were already hungry. After hearing this, they all picked up their wine glasses and drank, then lowered their heads to eat the exquisite dishes on the table.
Nangong Xiaoxin was sitting next to Prince Duan, holding a pig's trotter in her hand and chewing it with relish. After taking a few bites, she turned her head, puffed her cheeks and looked at the young man behind her, and said with an indistinct expression: "Luo Qingzhou, are you hungry? Do you want a bite?"
After speaking, he opened his small mouth and motioned for him to come over and continue.
Prince Duan on the side immediately turned her head away.
Nangong Xiaoxin took a few bites, then lost interest. She stuffed the pig's trotters into Prince Duan's plate and said, "Father, you eat it."
Not only did Prince Duan not dislike her, he also said with a smile on his face: "My good daughter is so kind to my father."
Unexpectedly, when he was about to reach out to take it, Nangong Xiaoxin suddenly snatched it away again, put it on his plate, glanced at him and said: "You think so beautifully! There is my saliva on it, and only my future husband can do it." Eat, hum.”
After that, she ignored him and started eating the roast chicken again.
Prince Duan smiled and continued to laugh with him. He was not angry. He just turned his head and looked behind her while she was eating. He scolded in a low voice: "Boy, stay away from me!"
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he took a few steps back.
With the topic of "Beauty", he naturally had a draft in mind, and the first thing that came to his mind was Miss Qin's unparalleled figure and appearance.
I still remember the first time I met Miss Qin. I was boating in the lake with rippling blue waves, green lotus and red lotus root. She was dressed in a white dress and looked like a fairy descending to earth...
Thinking about that scene now, it was still vivid in his mind, so clear that it made his heart waver.
While he was in a daze, Bai Ling was standing behind Nangong Meijiao, looking at him quietly, as if the moonlight was shining in his clear and deep eyes.
At this moment, Nangong Yang suddenly said: "Luo Qing, this time, you come first."
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses, looked at him, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Do you have a draft?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Already."
Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Read it."
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment.
At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to him.
Gray immediately sneered: "If you write that kind of non-rhyme poetry again this time, I will never recognize it again!"
Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "This article is not a poem, but a short rhyme."
Gray was stunned for a moment and said, "What is short fu?"
At this time, Su Tu behind him whispered: "This is a very ancient genre here. It is similar to the free poetry and prose of the Badan Kingdom. It pays attention to rhetoric and rhythm, and is mostly composed of neat sentences with parallelism and parallelism. It can be recited without any restrictions..."
"Okay, okay! This prince knows!"
Gray was confused after hearing this and interrupted him impatiently. He looked at the other side with cold eyes and said, "Read it!"
In the main hall, silence suddenly fell.
Behind the bead curtain, a figure in a red dress was looking quietly outside.
Outside the main hall, the noisy voices gradually became silent because of the silence inside the hall.
Immediately, a voice sounded.
"I once fell into a dream and mistakenly entered a cave. I saw all the darkness and tasted all the cold and warmth. One day, I suddenly reached the ninth heaven..."
"Then I moved my mind and was horrified, and suddenly my thoughts were scattered. I looked down without noticing, but looked up to take a closer look. I saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the palace..."
"In its shape, the white clothes are like snow, the skirt is like a butterfly, graceful like a startling giant, and graceful like a swimming dragon. Autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and spring pines are gorgeous. It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind. . Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising as the morning glow; looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as a flower rising from Lubo..."
As soon as this section came out, the entire hall fell into silence.
Those talented men of letters even held their breaths.
Li Zhao from the Hanlin Academy even listened and wrote with his fingers on the table with excitement, as if he wanted to carve it into his mind...
And when Luo Qingzhou read the sentence "White clothes are like snow", the moonlight in Bai Ling's eyes became brighter.
Nangong Meijiao on the side looked at him with resentful eyes, and slowly clenched the fists in her sleeves.
On the opposite side, Linghu Qingzhu, who was dressed in green clothes, lowered his head slightly with a complicated expression. He was still listening, but his thoughts flew to nowhere.
"The body is as fast as a flying duck, as erratic as a god. The wave moves slightly, and the socks are dusty. The movement is impermanent, if it is in danger, if it is safe; if it is difficult to go, if it is going, then it is back. Turning around, the essence is flowing, and the jade face is smooth and smooth. Containing words Before vomiting, my breath is like orchid. Her graceful and graceful appearance makes me forget to eat..."
When Luo Qingzhou stopped reciting, the entire hall remained silent.
At this moment, everyone seemed to still be immersed in the wonderful scene he just described. In their minds, the figure of the beauty who was as beautiful as a fairy could not be removed...
"what's the situation?"
At this time, Gray, who didn't understand at all, suddenly broke the silence with a rough voice.
Then he turned his head, looked at Su Tu behind him, and said, "Is this guy good at writing?"
Su Tu slowly came back to his senses, was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Excellent."
He can't find any other words to describe this masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!
Gray immediately frowned and said, "Can yours beat his?"
Su Tu immediately lowered his head and said with shame on his face: "Compared with this, my work is like dung compared to fine wine, like candlelight compared to moonlight. There is no comparison at all. Your Highness, we lost this game..."
Gray was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly darkened, and he cursed in a low voice: "Trash!"
Su Tu lowered his head and plucked up the courage to say, "Your Highness, this person is a man of extraordinary talent and extraordinary literary talent. We'd better... let's admit defeat..."
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"you!"
Gray's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to give him a slap. He also thought that this was not his territory, and there were people from other countries watching, so he had to endure it, and gritted his teeth and cursed again: "Trash! What kind of bullshit is Dameng No. 1?" You are such a talented man that you can’t even compare to a random scholar from other people, but you have completely embarrassed my prince!”
Su Tu bent down and lowered his head, saying nothing. His mind was still buzzing, and he was involuntarily imagining that figure dressed in white like snow and floating like a fairy.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Indescribably wonderful! Extremely wonderful! So wonderful!"
At this time, the prince of Gao Qi State clapped his hands with excitement, stood up from his seat with a flushed face, and walked around in front, repeating the passages just now in his mouth. The more he read, the more excited he became. He seemed to be about to Crazy.
Li Zhao from the Hanlin Academy was also immersed in his own world, gesturing with his fingers on the table and mumbling to himself.
The talented people from Jiangnan and Yujing were all impressed by this gorgeous and wonderful short poem, and their faces were full of aftertaste.
Even Prince Duan couldn't help but praise him.
Nangong Xiaoxin, who was sitting next to him, pouted and said: "What, isn't it just a big pervert who drooled after seeing a beautiful woman and sighed like a toad wants to eat swan meat? Look at it. You are all bluffing."
Prince Duan was stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought about it carefully, this is really what happened. He immediately slapped his thigh and praised: "My daughter is still a genius!"
There was suddenly some confusion in the main hall.
At this time, the prince of Loulan Kingdom suddenly raised his hand and said: "Master Luo, is the beauty described in this article really what you saw in your dream, or is it your wild imagination?"
Luo Qingzhou paused, cupped his hands and replied: "I saw it in my dream."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the scholars showed expressions of envy and jealousy.
Even if we can meet such a peerless beauty in a dream, this life is enough.
At this time, Luo Shang, the sect master of Xianyun Pavilion, suddenly said: "I have seen such a beauty."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked over.
The prince of Gao Qi suddenly said with great excitement: "Sect Master Luo, have you really seen it? Where have you seen it? Who is it?"
Luo Qingzhou also looked over.
Luo Shang paused, and said with a proud face: "My Saint of Xianyun Pavilion is exactly what Mr. Luo just described in his article."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
When everyone heard this, they were all dubious.
When others wanted to ask, Nangong Yang suddenly laughed and said: "It's just a fictitious article, why should anyone take it seriously? Even if there is such a unique beauty in this world, it is not in this world, but in the fairy palace." Okay, Luo Qing has finished reading, where are the others?"
There was silence in the hall.
The princes of Gao Qi and Loulan simply admitted defeat and were convinced.
The princes of Badan and Beicang, after saying a few words to the talented man behind them, also gave up with ugly faces.
In this case, there is no need to continue the comparison.
Nangong Yang looked at the young man in the audience and said with a smile: "It seems that my royal sister doesn't have to come out to meet guests. Luo Qing, you have done the most great job. How do you want your royal sister to reward you? Just say, the royal sister is behind you Listen."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at him, then looked behind the bead curtain, bowed his hands and said, "I hope Your Highness will never forget his original intention."
Behind the bead curtain, there was silence for several breaths.
Immediately, the red figure slowly stood up and said calmly: "Master Luo, since you have won, come in. I will have a few drinks with you in the garden behind and talk by the way."
As soon as these words came out, Gray and the others in the hall suddenly turned jealous.
Nangong Yang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, still kept a smile on his face, looking at the young man in the audience without saying a word.
Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate and walked straight to the back room in full view of everyone.
The muscles at the corners of Nangong Yang's eyes suddenly twitched.
