Chapter 149 What a great poem!
Of course, these are things that happened later, so let’s not talk about them for now.
At this moment, Wanyin was thinking about how to treat Lu Yi in the future. Deep in her heart, she was filled with jealousy towards Lu Yi, and this emotion spread like weeds in her heart.
The more Wanyin thought about it, the angrier she became. She thought to herself, "How could a divorced woman like Lu Yi be so lucky to marry such an outstanding man like Zhan Shixuan! And me, as the tenth princess, am I not as good as Lu Yi?" When she thought of this, Wanyin felt aggrieved and tears welled up in her eyes.
However, in Zhan Shixuan's eyes and heart, Lu Yi is the most beautiful person in the world. No one in the world can compare with his beloved Lu Yi.
Emperor Tiansheng looked at Zhan Shixuan, who was so imposing and elegant, and was secretly impressed. It was rare to see such a young and promising man who was both civil and military! Why hadn't he noticed such a talent before? Thinking of this, Emperor Tiansheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Turning his head to look at Li Zhuosheng standing beside him, his talent was no less than Zhan Shixuan's. However, this Li Zhuosheng had a special identity, and it was very likely that he was the little prince who disappeared that year. For such a person, he could be entrusted with important tasks, but at the same time he also had to be treated with caution. Therefore, Emperor Tiansheng decided to keep Li Zhuosheng in the capital and put him under his strict supervision, so that he could feel at ease.
At this moment, Li Zhuosheng suddenly felt a strange gaze falling on him. He raised his head and his eyes met with Emperor Tiansheng's. The Emperor raised his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "My dear Li, I have long known that you are quick-witted and well-educated. Today is a good day and beautiful scenery. Why don't you improvise a poem here so that everyone can see your style and add a bit of elegance."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhuosheng stood up in a hurry and answered respectfully: "I am really ashamed to receive your kindness, Your Majesty. I only know a little bit about poetry and literature. Since Your Majesty has such a refined taste, how dare I not obey your order?" After saying this, he thought for a moment and began to recite:
"Tonight the stars are shining brightly, you and I are both filled with regrets, why is it so simple, stretching out our hands but not seeing the abyss of the starry sky! (I really can't come up with any good poem)"
The sound of the poem echoed in the palace, attracting cheers from everyone present. Emperor Tiansheng was also very pleased after hearing it, and praised Li Zhuosheng highly. This interaction between the emperor and his subjects also became a good story at the dinner.
Emperor Tiansheng was delighted, his face was full of joy, and he praised Li Zhuosheng even more. After Li Zhuosheng finished reciting the poem, he smiled slightly and looked at the emperor calmly, his eyes revealing great confidence and composure.
The emperor couldn't help laughing heartily, his voice as loud as a bell, and he kept praising: "What a good poem! What a wonderful poem! Minister Li is indeed a man of great talent and learning!" For a moment, there was thunderous applause and cheers in the court.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers present echoed the words and praised Li Zhuosheng's poetry skills, saying that his attainments had reached perfection and were rare in the world.
At this moment, a minister suddenly stood up, bowed, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is wise. I think that such exquisite poems would be even more perfect if they were accompanied by a graceful and beautiful melody. Only in this way can we live up to this beautiful time and the picturesque scenery in front of us."
When the emperor heard this, he nodded repeatedly to show that he agreed with it deeply. He immediately issued an order, ordering the musicians in the court to play the clear, pleasant, and melodious music.
Accompanied by beautiful and melodious music, the poems written by Li Zhuosheng become more and more infectious, as if leading everyone to a dreamlike and wonderful world.
The entire banquet hall was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. Everyone was in a good mood, chatting and laughing, and spent this unforgettable happy night together.
Lu Yi looked at the group of flatterers in front of her expressionlessly, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She really couldn't understand how Li Zhuosheng's poems were so mediocre, even terrible, how could they receive such praise? It was simply ridiculous!
