"Cough cough…Young Master Kong, watch your words!" Wang De was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
"You really have guts." Empress Zhangsun's cold voice rang out.
Wang De was so frightened that he knelt down.
Kong Yan rubbed his nose and laughed dryly,""This brat is asking for a beating. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
"Hmph, who dares to punish you? BenGong is also afraid that this Qing Ning Palace will be burned down?”Empress Zhangsun's voice sounded again.
Kong Yan looked up at the curtain, but he could not see it clearly. He could only vaguely see that the figure sitting there was also looking at him.
"Niangniang, you can't blame this subject. This subject only found out later.”Kong Yan took a step forward. Looking at the curtain, he felt an itch in his heart. He really wanted to lift it.
Wang De, who was kneeling on the ground, tugged at Kong Yan's clothes.
"We can't go any further." Wang De looked nervous as he held onto Kong Yan's clothes tightly.
Kong Yan had no choice but to stop.
"Chengqian was beaten up the most, and you said it had nothing to do with you?”
Empress Zhangsun snorted lightly. She knew that her Crown Prince had a conflict with the boy in front of her.
"Cough cough…this may be because His Highness the Crown Prince is unyielding, so he suffered such a serious crime.”Kong Yan coughed dryly. He swore that he had never specifically instructed him to take care of Li Chengqian. It was all Qin Dalang's own decision!
Empress Zhangsun snorted." You're good at shirking. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"”
"This official knows that my subordinates went too far the day before and offended the Empress. This official has been in a state of panic these two days and has specially come today to apologize.”Kong Yan blinked and said," I heard that Your Majesty loves poetry and songs, so I specially asked someone to write a few poems for Your Majesty to appreciate.”
"Oh? Read it." Empress Zhangsun's tone was calm.
Kong Yan hesitated and said," I'm afraid that some of the meanings are difficult to express if I just read it aloud. I think it's better to write it down."”
"Then write it down." Empress Zhangsun did not object.
A smile appeared on Kong Yan's face. He looked down at Wang De and said with a smile,"Eunuch, hurry up and prepare the Four Treasures of the Study.”
"... Yes." The corner of Wang De's mouth twitched, but he did not think much of it. This was the Tranquil Palace, and it was not under his jurisdiction. How could he prepare the Four Treasures of the Study?
As soon as he stood up, his expression changed.
Kong Yan opened the curtain and walked into the inner hall in a flash.
" F * ck…" Wang De almost cursed out loud, and cold sweat flowed out.
Empress Zhangsun's small mouth was slightly agape. She was completely stunned when she saw Kong Yan suddenly flash in.
" You…you…" The four palace maids serving Empress Zhangsun widened their eyes.
"I looked outside and saw that there was no table. Presumably, only this inner hall can place the four treasures of the study.”Kong Yan smiled.
Wang De glanced at the short table not far behind him, and his face twitched violently.
Empress Zhangsun came back to her senses and laughed in anger.""If you can't write a good poem later…"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I came prepared.”Kong Yan said confidently. As he spoke, he couldn't help but size up Empress Zhangsun.
"How dare you!" A palace maid standing beside Zhangsun glared at Kong Yan and said angrily," You're not allowed to peek at the Empress!”
Kong Yan glanced at her and smiled,""Why can't I see the Empress's precious body?”
"Since you know that the Empress is a daughter of a thousand gold, why are you still asking?”The palace maid's eyebrows rose as she coldly spoke.
This palace maid was called Liu Zhu. She had been by Empress Zhangsun's side for many years and was deeply trusted by Empress Zhangsun.
"The Empress has a noble status and is the descendant of a country.”Kong Yan's expression did not change. He continued to smile at Empress Zhangsun.
"The admiration of the people means that you can peek?”Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes.
In the outer hall, Wang De wiped the cold sweat off his face. When he heard the palace maid's voice, he couldn't help it.
"Quickly inform His Majesty." He walked to the entrance of the hall and hurriedly instructed.
"Yes." An accompanying eunuch replied and quickly left the Qing Ning Palace with small steps.
Just as Wang De was about to turn around and leave, he saw from the corner of his eye that the other two eunuchs and a palace maid had also left in a hurry.
"As long as Your Majesty doesn't make a move, it should be fine.”Wang De thought to himself. He knew that all the princes and princesses had spies in the Qing Ning Palace. The fact that Kong Yan had come to the Qing Ning Palace could not be hidden.
Thinking of Li Shiming's attitude towards Kong Yan and Kong Yan's performance in the Town Hall, he felt that it would be difficult for the Crown Prince to take revenge.
" That jade pendant…" A light flashed in Wang De's eyes. He sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless.
He now vaguely understood why Li Shiming was so afraid of Kong Yan.
Kong Yan's power was probably more terrifying than everyone had imagined.
Shaking his head, Wang De quietly walked back to the front of the hall. He looked at Kong Yan with a complicated expression, hoping that Li Shiming would come quickly.
In the inner hall, the Four Treasures of the Study had already been placed while Kong Yan was arguing with the palace maids about whether the Empress could see them.
"What kind of poem does the Empress like?" Kong Yan walked to the table, picked up a brush and dipped it into the ink on the inkstone. He looked up at Empress Zhangsun.
"You prepared a lot of poems?" Empress Zhangsun was curious.
"Your Majesty, please set the topic," said Kong Yan with a smile.”
Empress Zhangsun looked at him for a while and suddenly smiled.""Fire."
"Fire?" Kong Yan raised his eyebrows and asked," Should I use fire as the topic or just use the word 'fire' in the poem?"”
"Anything is fine." Empress Zhangsun gently nodded and did not make things too difficult for Kong Yan.
Kong Yan thought for a moment and smiled,"Then let's sing a poem."”
After saying that, Kong Yan dipped his brush on the inkstone again and started to write on the high-quality paper on the table.
"The east wind also releases flowers and trees."
After Kong Yan wrote down the first sentence, the palace maid told Empress Zhangsun.
"Not bad." Empress Zhangsun gently nodded and commented. It was hard to see much literary talent in one sentence.
"Even more blown down, stars like rain."
"The road is filled with the fragrance of BMW carvings."
Empress Zhangsun pondered for a moment and said,"He's quite literary."”
Kong Yan smiled faintly and wrote furiously,""The sound of the phoenix flute moves. The jade pot flows, and the dragon and fish dance for a night."
After hearing this, Empress Zhangsun was silent for a long time before she praised softly,""Excellent literary talent."
"Moth Snow Willow Golden Thread."
"Laughing and smelling."
"I've searched for him thousands of times."
"When I suddenly look back, that person is still there, where the lights are waning.”
Kong Yan finished it in one go. Looking at his slightly shabby calligraphy, he could not help but blush.
He turned around to look at Empress Zhangsun, but he realized that she had already stood beside him.
Smelling the fragrance, Kong Yan smiled brightly.
This poem was very suitable for the occasion. It was originally written by Xin Qiji to describe the night of the Lantern Festival, but Kong Yan found that it was also very suitable for the Empress 'birthday banquet.
"I have searched for him thousands of times, but when I look back, that person is still there, where the lights are waning.”Empress Zhangsun chanted softly, her expression seemingly dazed.
Kong Yan didn't disturb him. He came from the future. Although he had been in this world for nearly twenty years, he still couldn't empathize with the artistic conception in the poem.
In recent years, he had been focused on doing business and rarely teased people with poems. However, he knew that some well-read people in this era would often be enchanted by some poems.
Just like Empress Zhangsun.
He was attracted by the artistic conception of the poem, as if he could empathize with it and integrate into it.
Kong Yan had once thought deeply about this question. Why could they empathize with him but not him?
The final conclusion was that the later generations were too prosperous, and he lacked a pure heart.
.................
P.S. I have a literary female senior who likes to read poems. In her words, she can feel the artistic conception in poems. She also said that every poem is a story.
I don't know if it's true or not. I only know that she's very obsessed with poetry, so she's naturally very beautiful.
