    "It's strange. The poem I wrote won the first prize in one fell swoop, and no one has acknowledged it. Could it be that this poem fell from the sky?" Princess Danyang was very surprised, and a little angry at the same time. After all, she asked so many times, but no one came.  The man replied, making her a little embarrassed.

    Such a strange thing happened at the poetry meeting, and everyone around was in disbelief. Concubine Yang and other judges did not expect to encounter such a thing, so they didn't know what to do for a while.

    Li Min suddenly rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea, so he said loudly: "Although the artistic conception of this poem is good, it is too sad and makes people sad to read it. Therefore, although it is a good sentence, it can only  It can be considered a second-rate work, and there is still a huge gap between it and those poems that have been passed down through the ages."

    As soon as Li Min said these words, the audience immediately fell silent. Just a moment ago, he was praising the poem, but in the blink of an eye, he denounced the poem again.  However, some older or thoughtful people have already guessed Li Min's intention, and are waiting with a smile for the poet to jump out on his own.

    "Humph, although the little girl's song "Asking for the Moon" is not as good as the two poems about plum blossoms written by His Highness Prince Liang, and it cannot be compared with such bold poems as "The Wine Will Come in", it is not as good as what His Highness said.  Isn¡¯t that so disgusting to say?¡±

    Sure enough, as soon as Li Min finished speaking, there was a crisp voice that was mixed with shame and anger.  Following the voice, the speaker turned out to be a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light green dress. Although her figure was not yet mature, her facial features were exquisite and her eyes were picturesque, like a fairy from the heavenly palace. For a moment, she was in the main hall.  The lamps and candles in it were also eclipsed.

    "Is it her?" Concubine Yang frowned when she saw this girl. She knew this girl as Li Min's fianc¨¦e, Xiao Wenxin, Xiao Yu's granddaughter.  Concubine Yang was originally dissatisfied with Li Min's marriage. When today's banquet started, she was very cold towards Xiao Wenxin. They are also her own daughter-in-law. Li Ke's Princess Yang of Shu has always been with her, but as a  When Xiao Wenxin, the future daughter-in-law, was first brought to see Concubine Yang by Mrs. Xiao, Concubine Yang acted very coldly. Not only did she not let her stay with her, she didn't even look at her.

    Li Min didn¡¯t expect that this poem was actually written by Xiao Wenxin. Thinking about the words he just said to provoke her, Li Min couldn¡¯t help but sweat in his heart. It would have been anyone else, but why was it Xiao Wenxin?  This is great. From the moment we met until now, I haven't even said a word, but I have already offended someone.

    Women are gossip animals. There were six to seven hundred women attending the banquet today. Excluding those in the two side halls, there were at least three to four hundred people in the main hall. Many people knew Xiao Wenxin, plus she, Li Min, and  The complicated relationship between Concubine Yang and the three of them caused constant whispers in the hall.  However, the eyes of some unmarried women looking at Xiao Wenxin were full of jealousy and envy.  It would be fine if Li Min was still the unlearned and unskilled King of Liang before, but these days Li Min's performance has attracted the attention of many caring people, especially his poetic talent, which has won the hearts of many young women.  Secretly promised.

    "Haha~, no wonder you didn't stand up and admit it, but it turned out to be Rokuro's little wife. Girls are so thin-skinned!" Princess Danyang had a smile on her face. She didn't know what was going on when she saw the reactions of everyone below.  , only after someone around her who knew the inside story told her, did she understand. However, the eldest princess was not a stingy person. Not only did she not blame Xiao Wenxin, but she teased her very generously anyway.

    Xiao Wenxin's face turned red. With her temperament, she didn't want to participate in this poetry meeting, but she couldn't resist the instigation of the sisters around her, so she had to compose a poem and submit it. Unexpectedly, she was rated first, and Li Min even commented on it herself.  A few words.

    Xiao Wenxin's feelings towards Li Min are very complicated. In the past, she just had a simple dislike. Even if she was accused of being Princess Liang, she was very reluctant. Unfortunately, under the pressure of her family, she was unable to resist.  Until later, when I saw the poems written by Li Min, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. How could the person who could write such excellent works be the King of Liang who did all kinds of evil and bullied men and dominated women?  When she came today, she met Li Min again. Although she was a little angry when Li Min stared at her, through her daughter's sensitive mind, she could feel that the Li Min standing in front of her was completely different from before.  He didn't change, but his conversation and temperament seemed to be a different person, which made Xiao Wenxin feel a little relieved.

    Although she had a good impression of Li Min, her daughter's family's complicated thoughts made Xiao Wenxin not sure how to face Li Min. So Princess Danyang asked several questions in a row, but she was too embarrassed to stand up until Li Min spoke out.  .  Although she was talented and learned, she was still too young and had a proud temperament, so she couldn't help but stand up and refute.

    "Haha~, that" Under the gaze of Xiao Wenxin's extremely clear yet angry eyes, Li Min looked embarrassed and looked around for help, looking for someone to help him out, but most of the people around him  He looked like he was watching a show, but Li Ke, who was most likely to help him, was pulled aside by his cousin and sister-in-law to teach him a lesson. Concubine YangShe had a cold look on her face. Obviously, Xiao Wenxin's talent and learning had not changed her opinion. Li Yong was a good friend, but he was just a loser and couldn't help in any way!

    "Liu Lang, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't let a little girl overwhelm you with questions!" Concubine Yang couldn't help but said angrily when she saw her son was helpless under Xiao Wenxin's gaze. There were already many people around him snickering.

    Xiao Wenxin's face darkened when she heard Concubine Yang's words. Of course she could feel that Concubine Yang didn't like her. With her intelligence, she also understood the reason why Concubine Yang disliked her. However, this marriage was decided by her grandfather Xiao Yu and Taizong Li Shimin.  Yes, she has no right to speak at all. From Xiao Wenxin's point of view, she is actually also a victim of this marriage.

    "Ahem~, I obey!" Li Min had a headache. He was very satisfied with this little beauty Xiao Wenxin, but Concubine Yang's attitude was also very important. Now that the daughter-in-law had not even gotten married, the two of them were already having conflicts.

    "Actually, Miss Xiao's poem is not bad, but the style is a bit too sad. Miss Xiao is still so young and will have a great life in the future. Why bother to be sad for a moment? It's better to be optimistic and positive in everything!"

    As soon as Li Min finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. Xiao Wenxin was going to marry him in the future, but he said that she would have a "good life in the future."  This is not to tell people plainly: I will be good to you in the future, and you must be right to marry me!  It's equivalent to expressing your love to others indirectly.  What a lesson from heaven and earth, Li Min just wanted to comfort Xiao Wenxin by saying a few words, and didn't think much about it at all.

    Xiao Wenxin was so embarrassed by Li Min's 'confession' that she blushed. She wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide. People around her were laughing so hard that some young girls didn't even look like a lady at all, which made Xiao Wenxin feel sad again.  Ashamed and annoyed.

    Cheng Huailiang and others all looked at Li Min with admiration: Liu Lang is indeed not an ordinary person for daring to confess his feelings in front of so many people!  Li Jingye and Li Yong, the two younger ones, looked up to the elder with admiration, but Concubine Yang looked unhappy.

    "Ahem~, actually I'm not" Li Min waved his hands repeatedly and wanted to explain, but no one wanted to listen. Finally, he was heartbroken and simply stopped explaining. Anyway, Xiao Wenxin was his future wife, and he was afraid of confessing to his wife.  What, although there are a lot of people watching, there will be more such things in the future, and the more people watching, the better. These people are really rare and strange!

    After a while, the laughter on the court stopped. Princess Jiang Xia held her chest and gasped: "Liu Lang's behavior is indeed different from ordinary people, but he is too bold and doesn't think about other girls!" The result!  It caused another burst of laughter.

    "Okay, okay! Everyone laughed, but the poem Liulang promised just now hasn't been written yet. I've been waiting for a long time!" Princess Changguang, who may have seen Yang Fei's bad expression, remained silent.  He opened his mouth and said that Princess Changguang was the fifth daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan. She was a hard-luck person. Her first husband was named Zhao Cijing. Unfortunately, he died in the war after Li Yuan's uprising. She was the first consort in the Tang Dynasty to die in battle.  Princess Changguang later married Yang Shidao at the discretion of Li Yuan. It is said that the couple are now in a good relationship.

    Hearing that Li Min was going to write a poem finally diverted everyone's attention. Li Min and Concubine Yang both looked at Princess Changguang gratefully, as they owed her a favor.

    Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Li Xuan raised Xiao Wenxin's poem in his hand and said: "Haha, this poem written by Miss Xiao is too sad, but it inspired the boy. I will use this poem as a guide to make a poem."  A similar long and short sentence!"

    When Li Min said this, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and then chanted loudly:

    "When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that it will be too cold in the high place. I dance to clear the shadows, how can I feel like I am in the human world.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? away from the Zhu Pavilion, where the Qihu is low and the light is sleepless.  There shouldn't be any hatred, so what's the point of saying goodbye?  People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times.  Nung, moon and new moon.  "

    People present began to hear Li Min mention Xiao Wenxin again, and many people couldn't help but snicker. Even Xiao Wenxin was a little embarrassed.  But as Li Min recited the song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", the audience immediately fell silent. The content of this long and short sentence was very similar to Xiao Wenxin's "Asking the Moon", but the feelings expressed were completely different. Although  There is also a sense of depression and melancholy in the poem, but then the worries are eliminated with detached and optimistic thoughts, expressing a love of life and a positive and optimistic spirit, which sweeps away the desolation and sorrow in Xiao Wenxin's poems.  Moreover, the words are full of life philosophy and interest, the artistic conception is bold and broad, and the poems are as romantic and unrestrained as flowing clouds and flowing water, giving people an extremely healthy aesthetic enjoyment.

    Others were fine, but Xiao Wenxin heard a different flavor from the beginning of this water-melody song.Especially the last two sentences, "May we live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart", it was as if Li Min was expressing his love and greetings to her in person, and he still used such beautiful words.  Xiao Wenxin even felt that this long and short sentence was as if Li Min had written it specially for her.  Thinking of this, this delicate girl suddenly felt that her heartbeat had accelerated a lot, her face was so red that she wanted to drip water, and she no longer dared to look at Li Min, who was in high spirits in the field.

    "What a 'May we live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away'! Hearing this makes people open-minded, Liulang is such an open-minded person!" Princess Changguang praised, with a rare smile on her face.  Princess Changguang is a passionate person. Although she has a good relationship with her current husband, she often thinks of her ex-husband who died in the war and is often depressed. After listening to this water-melody song today, she is also open-minded. In the past  The depression in my heart was also relieved.

    "Yes, it's rare for Rokuro to have such a broad mind at such a young age. He will definitely be a wise king in the future!" The generous and graceful Princess Qinghe also praised. Of course, the other princesses and wives were also full of praise, and Concubine Yang was even more happy.  His demeanor was completely lost, and he felt a little carried away when he heard the compliments from around him.

    Li Min made such a masterpiece, which caused the women on the scene to toast frequently. Of course, most of them drank fruit juice instead of wine, and at most they drank grape wine with very low alcohol content. However, what Li Min drank was the genuine Five Kings Drunk.  He couldn't resist anymore, and hurriedly asked Cheng Hualiang and others to come up to help. These young and energetic little perverts originally wanted to show off as heroes, but after a while, they were all defeated. After all, the difference in numbers between the enemy and us was too big.  Moreover, the 'weapon' was too unfair, and in the end Li Min and others had to flee.
