There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 177 Poems and Nangong Kui’s request

There is no doubt that Li Bai's "Qingping Diao" is definitely a classic among classics, a masterpiece among masterpieces handed down from generation to generation!
At this moment, when Su Xian recited it in front of everyone, to everyone sitting here, it was like the earth was cracking, the mountains were falling, and the waves were crashing on the shore.

The whole tent was quiet...

In fact, there are two other poems in this poem.

For example, the second song——

A sprig of red fragrant dew condensed fragrant, Yunyu Wushan heartbroken in vain.

May I ask who the Han Palace is like?Poor Feiyan leaned on new makeup.

Su Xian would never recite this poem. The poem contained either "Yunyu" or "Wushan", which was very inappropriate for the current occasion.

For example, the third song——

The famous flower blossoms in the country and the two enjoy each other, and they look like a king with a smile.

Explain the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, and the Chenxiang Pavilion leans towards the north of Langan.

This poem is even more inappropriate. The words "king" appear in the poem, and the object of description is a concubine in the harem. It is even more inappropriate to recite this poem in front of Princess Lanling...

Wang Sima, Zhou Jishi and other subordinate officials closed their eyes, tapped the table with both hands, shook their heads, with intoxicated faces, immersed in the wonderful poetic conception.

The Consulting Counselor swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sat down silently, lowered his head and drank.

After Princess Lanling experienced the initial shock, sluggishness, surprise, relief and other emotions, she gently shook her head and silently recited this poem, with the corners of her mouth gradually widening.

Most of the generals in the army did not understand poetry, but seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess and all the officials were all intoxicated, they sat there in a daze and did not dare to move.

I was afraid that I would break the mood of the moment and be scolded by the princess.

As the person involved, Su Xian was the most normal one.

Princess Lanling is also a woman, she also has vanity, and she also needs to please... Su Xian thought for a long time, and gradually had an idea in his mind.

He took two steps forward, bowed to Princess Lanling and said:
"Your Highness the Princess, this poem is called "Qing Ping Diao" and it was written by the official specifically for Your Highness the Princess!"

"..."

Su Xian's words not only broke the silence at the scene, but also brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.

Princess Lanling was startled for a moment, then she was overjoyed and said with a smile:
"Qing Ping Tiao... this is a famous piece handed down from generation to generation. Su's literary talent has greatly opened my eyes to me. I like it very much!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your compliment."

Thank you Su Xian.

My heart said it was settled now.

Wang Sima, Zhou Jishi and other subordinate officials all opened their mouths wide, feeling a strange feeling in their hearts.

Princess Lanling is not only powerful, but she is also as beautiful as a fairy and has an outstanding temperament.

She is the dream lover of all the young scholars in Daliang.

The literary style of Daliang was at its peak, especially poetry and songs. Therefore, the Princess Mansion received many poems every day, expressing love and desire for official positions, etc. There are countless poems.

But poems that can really catch the princess's eye are very rare.

Moreover, today is different from the past. Since the Queen ordered that "all officials come from the imperial examination", it is very rare to enter an official with poetry.

Most of those poems went into the kitchen of the princess's house.

It was burned as firewood.

So now, Su Xian presented a poem to Princess Lanling, and it was also a poem describing beauty... The subordinate officials are all human beings, and at this moment they couldn't help but think:
"Could it be that Su Wenxue also has that intention for Her Highness the Princess?"

"That's right. Her Royal Highness the Princess is powerful and beautiful. Su Wenxue is handsome and charming. She admires her at a young age. This is human nature..."

"The most important thing is that Su Wenxu's poem is indeed a good poem. No wonder Her Royal Highness likes it."

"..."

While everyone was deep in thought, they suddenly heard Princess Lanling say:

"I just said that if Su Wenxue's poem is done well, it should be rewarded; if it is done poorly, it should be punished!"

"This "Qing Ping Diao" is indeed a famous piece handed down from generation to generation. I like it very much, so Su Wenxu deserves the award!"

"..."

More or less envy flashed in everyone's eyes, but then it disappeared, and they only looked at Princess Lanling silently to see how she would reward Su Xian.

Su Xian is also looking forward to it.

He thought to himself: "Although Princess Lanling has all the power, she is still a woman, and a woman will have the characteristics of a woman..."

"It seems that I can coax her more in the future, and then glory and wealth will be at my fingertips... Hehehe, I really don't want to poke her!"

"..."

Princess Lanling looked at Su Xian with a smile and said:

"Su Wenxu is a man of temperament. Not only did he attend the poetry banquet of that little bitch...fairy girl, but he also wrote a famous poem for it!"

Su Xian raised his eyebrows when he heard this and thought to himself: "Damn it, she's still holding on to her. It seems that the method of gaining glory and wealth by pleasing Princess Lanling won't work."

Princess Lanling continued:
"In view of this, I will reward Su Literary Palace with ten maids!"

"These palace maids have excellent figures, looks, and faces. I believe that Su Wenxu won these ten palace maids, so he won't go to any more poetry banquets, right?"

"..."

As for the ten palace maids... Wang Sima and other subordinate officials were extremely envious, especially the council and some generals. As soon as they heard about the ten palace maids, they couldn't help but secretly wipe their saliva.

Immediately, his eyes became extremely hot.

Because the maids in the princess's mansion who are used to reward their subordinates are all well trained, and they will be very good as maids or concubines.

However, Su Xian pursed his lips and refused without thinking:
"I would like to thank Your Highness the Princess for the reward! But I am only a sixth-grade official. I really can't afford ten maids. Please take back your life!"

"Not to mention anything else, just for housing, the rooms in Xiaguan's house are not enough! The palace maids are delicate, and giving them to Xiaguan is really a waste!"

"..."

Just kidding, there is Xiaoxian Zi and more than ten servants living in his home.

They are all the targets that Princess Lanling wants to arrest.

If ten court ladies live in the house, no one knows what will happen...

Moreover, Su Xian secretly thought: "Those palace maids are certainly good, but they are most likely spies trained by the princess. You must not do that!"

Princess Lanling was stunned by Su Xian's refusal.

Because there are almost no cases where she refuses to reward palace maids, Su Xian is the first one!
The subordinates and generals stared wide-eyed, secretly scolding Su Xian for being ignorant, as stupid as a pig...

However, Su Xian still insisted on his opinion.

Seeing that the princess was unmoved by his rejection, he knew that he didn't get to the point.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed again and said:

"His Royal Highness, please be aware that the official is now the literary officer of the Princess Mansion. From now on, I will only read articles and poems for Her Royal Highness!"

"..."

After hearing this, Princess Lanling finally nodded with satisfaction.

Then he laughed:

"Since Su Wenxu cannot accommodate ten maids in his home, the reward I will give you will be a large house with seven entrances and seven exits, plus some palace utensils and utensils."

"As for the ten palace maids... I will reward you after I return to the capital of the gods!"

"..."

This is possible. By the time she returns to the divine capital, Xiaoxian Zi should have returned to Nanchen... Su Xian immediately thanked him and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess, for the reward!"

"..."

On the side, the officials and generals who were eating melons couldn't help opening their mouths.

Originally it was just a reward for ten palace maids.

But Soo-hyun refuses.

They also secretly scolded Su Xian for being as stupid as a pig.

But now, the rewards for the ten palace maids are still there, and there is also a large mansion with seven entrances and seven exits, plus some palace utensils and other things...

This...this damn reward has been doubled!
Suddenly, their expressions turned ugly. Su Xian was not as stupid as a pig, but they were so stupid that they were not even as good as a pig.

Compared to their ugly faces, Su Xian had a smile on his face... Today is really a day of great harvest. Not only did he get a large amount of gold and silver rewards, but now he also got a big house.

Yes, you don’t have to pay for the wedding room when you get married to Liu Huixiang...

The feast is over.

Princess Lanling left first.

The guests also left in twos and threes.

Su Xian and Zhou Jishi walked together, preparing to wander around the camp, first to eat and drink, and second to dispel the alcohol.

Su Xian was definitely the center of attention today, so many people came to toast.

Su Xian's drinking capacity was pretty good, but he couldn't stand being toasted by so many people. In the end, Zhou Ji's Office helped him drink many drinks.

Otherwise, Su Xian should be lying on the bed and sleeping soundly...

The entire marching camp covers an area of ​​dozens of miles, but the scenery in the camp is relatively monotonous.

At a glance, there are all white tents, boundless.

Almost all the people I met on the road were soldiers wearing armor...

But Su Xian was in a good mood and didn't care about this. He was chatting with Zhou Jishuang along the way.

Suddenly, the two of them came to a place. The tents here were obviously much more exquisite, and the surrounding environment was much neater. It actually looked like an area where a group of women lived.

When Su Xian was stunned, he saw a group of women in white clothes coming towards him in the distance. They were quite tall...

Huh?
and many more!

Su Xian blinked, thinking that he was too drunk to see clearly. Why did he feel that the group of tall women in the distance... looked like a group of men?

After blinking, Su Xian took a closer look.

I go!

They were really a group of tall men... but they were all wearing white clothes, and the style of their clothes was a bit more like women's clothing, which made Su Xian look away at them at first.

Su Xian, who was suspicious in his heart, asked the Zhou Ji room:

"Who are they? Are they servants of the princess's palace? But it doesn't look like them from the way they dress."

"Oh, that's the face that Her Royal Highness the Princess picked along the way!"

"..."

Zhou Ji's room will never stop talking if it is not shocking.

The noodle chosen by Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Face to face? !
Su Xian opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an egg into it.

He really didn't expect that a woman like Princess Lanling would be able to keep her appearance...

Su Xian's outlook on life was completely ruined, and the beautiful fantasy about Princess Lanling in his heart... was directly shattered.

"Hey, Su Wenxu, what's your expression?"

Zhou Jishi looked at Su Xian strangely, and then suddenly said:

"You don't think that these faces belong to Her Royal Highness, do you?"

"Wrong, this is the face that Her Royal Highness the Princess chose for Your Majesty!"

"Our Royal Highness, the princess, has high eyesight, and ordinary young talents don't see it in his eyes, how can he have a good face?"

"..."

So that's it... Su Xian breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and his three views came back.

The beautiful fantasy about Princess Lanling in my heart also came back.

As for the fact that Her Majesty the Queen has a good appearance, it is actually no secret.

Su Xian had heard of it before.

It is said that Her Majesty the Queen has three hundred faces!

Whether they are monks, scholars, or descendants of ministers, etc., they are all tall, handsome, and gentle in conversation...

Based on this, Su Xian doesn't have a very good impression of the current queen.

It is said that when the current queen was young, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and Princess Lanling inherited her beauty.

But now, she is afraid that she will be old and gloomy long ago, right?
And he also has so many faces...

So although Su Xian has a bad impression of her, it is not very strong.

While Su Xian was deep in thought, Zhou Ji's office suddenly made a joke:

"With Su Wenxue's appearance and poetic talent, if he enters Her Majesty the Queen's harem, he will definitely be favored!"

"..."

Su Xian opened his mouth.

Finally, he glanced at those "precise faces" and took Zhou Ji's hand to escape from here.

As he walked, he said seriously:

"Zhou Ji's Office, this is a big joke, but please don't say that!"

"Hahaha... Su Wenxue, please slow down. I was just joking. With Su Wenxue's appearance, it would be a pity not to be in His Majesty's honor!"

"..."

The two of them ran for more than ten feet before stopping.

Unexpectedly, he met Nangong Kui, the head of the prison department's third arrest, who always had a gentle face.

Su Xian didn't have a good impression of this person and was not prepared to make friends with him in the future.

So he turned around and walked away, pretending he didn't see this person.

Zhou Jishi was more tactful and bowed to Nangong Kui: "Three arrests."

But Nangong Kui ignored him at all. Instead, he took a step forward and stopped Su Xian, who turned around and left, and stretched out his hand to block him.

Su Xian stopped and frowned:
"What do you mean by arresting three heads? Why are you blocking my way?"

"Who are the three arrestees?" Zhou Ji's office also came over in confusion. Nangong Kui's indifference to him just now did not shock him because he was used to it.

Nangong Kui, the third prisoner of the prison department, has such an indifferent character.

He is not interested in people and things, and even looking at them feels like a waste of time.

However, this time Nangong Kui bent down and bowed to Su Xian. His face was expressionless, and his handsome face was extremely feminine. His bow always made people feel... like he was worshiping something.

Su Xian frowned fiercely at this.

But Zhou Ji's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost... Nangong Kui actually bowed to Su Xian. This... this... this is simply unbelievable!

"Su Wenxue, I still have some doubts about the 'method of claustrophobia', and I hope Su Wenxue can answer it."

After Nangong Kui bowed, he looked at Su Xing and said.

Judging from what he said, it was barely polite.

But judging from his indifferent and cold tone, it didn't look like he was asking for help, but rather like he was ordering his subordinates.

Su Xian was very unhappy about this.

It is true that the name of the Prison Department is very resounding. After all, it is one of Her Majesty the Queen's sharp swords.

But in Su Xian's case, he had even killed the small cabinet leader of the inner guard, and he was not afraid at all, because the plum blossom inner guard was another sharp sword of the queen, and the two had the same status.

Furthermore, Nangong Kui also tampered with the name of the "Confinement Method" without authorization...

"In return, I owe Su Wenxue a favor. I can help Su Wenxue do something that does not violate the law and human ethics!" Nangong Kui added.

His tone was still cold.

But this sounds like an exchange of equal value, which is barely acceptable.

However, Su Xian still planned to refuse.

Nangong Kui's favor was not that rare to him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ji's office suddenly grabbed Su Xian's hand excitedly and said in an extremely surprised tone:

"Su Wenxue, agree quickly and don't hesitate!"

"The name of the Third Chief of the Criminal Division is well-known in the world, and the Third Chief attaches great importance to loyalty and commitment. One of his favors is worth tens of thousands of gold!"

"..."
