Empress Zhangsun was immersed in this poem and could not extricate herself.
The four palace maids stared at Kong Yan nervously, afraid that he would do something outrageous.
In their lives as palace maids, they had never seen any strange man enter this inner hall, not even Zhangsun Wuji!
But now, the man in front of her had barged in in an extremely rude manner.
Kong Yan admired Empress Zhangsun's beautiful face, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He was confident that he would not come looking for Empress Zhangsun for no reason.
In addition to giving Li Shimin some psychological barriers, it was more to discuss a business deal with Empress Zhangsun.
Of course, it was also because Kong Yan preferred to stay with the mature and charming Empress Zhangsun, who was also a heavenly beauty, compared to the middle-aged man with a beer belly like Li Shiming.
"A masterpiece from the ages, an immortal work." After an unknown period of time, Empress Zhangsun sighed softly, her beautiful eyes faintly misty.
Kong Yan naturally took the handkerchief from Liu Zhu and handed it to Empress Zhangsun.
Liu Zhu was speechless.
" Unfortunately, these words…are too ugly." Empress Zhangsun took the brocade handkerchief and wiped her eyes gently. She said with a frown.
" Cough cough…" Kong Yan coughed dryly and grinned." Your Majesty is right. Why don't you write for me from now on?"”
" Let…" Liu Zhu, who was serving at the side, was about to reprimand her when he saw Empress Zhangsun wave her hand. His tone could not help but falter.
"Did you just say…next?" Empress Zhangsun asked curiously," Are you still prepared?”
"Today, this official is here to apologize to the Empress.”Kong Yan smiled humbly.
Empress Zhangsun blinked and raised her eyebrows."Do you think BenGong will make things difficult for you?"
Kong Yan shook his head and said," From the first time I saw the Empress at the birthday banquet, I knew that the Empress was a kind and generous person. At that time, I regretted giving the Empress a yellow and white gift.”
"Today's poem is both an apology and another birthday present for the Empress.”
Empress Zhangsun did not comment. She picked up the brush on the table and Liu Zhu laid out a blank paper for her.
"By the way, did you write that poem just now…or?”Empress Zhangsun revealed an inquiring gaze.
"I don't understand poetry." Kong Yan shrugged." I bought it with money."”
"Who did you buy it from?"
"It should be a poet surnamed Xin. He is no longer alive.”Kong Yan said softly.
No matter how one looked at it, Xin Qiji was not in this world. It was not a lie to say that he was not in this world.
"He's no longer in this world." A trace of sadness appeared on Empress Zhangsun's face.
"Cough, cough, Empress, let's talk about poetry first.”Kong Yan sighed. This was the bad thing about young artistic women. They were about to cry for no reason.
Empress Zhangsun nodded and said,"Go ahead."”
Kong Yan pondered and said,"Er…I don't know where to start. It's better to ask the Empress to come up with a question."”
Empress Zhangsun raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. She thought for a moment and said,""Just now, we used fire as the topic. This time, we'll use water as the topic.”
"Water." Kong Yan thought for a while and then said softly,""A fine cloud makes a coincidence, a flying star spreads hatred, and a silver river passes through the darkness.”
After reciting the first line, Kong Yan shifted his gaze to the table.
"It's not the vast Han, it's Liu Bang's Han.”Kong Yan reminded.
"Oh, oh." Empress Zhangsun blushed.
Liu Zhu was very observant as he removed the piece of paper and laid out a brand new blank piece of paper.
"A fine cloud makes a coincidence, a flying star spreads hatred, and a silver river passes through the darkness.”
Seeing that Empress Zhangsun had written it word for word, Kong Yan nodded and continued to recite,""When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and the world will be countless.”
Empress Zhangsun didn't start writing immediately. She recited it to herself and only started writing after she understood the meaning of the poem.
"Gentle as water, the wedding day is like a dream, I endure the magpie bridge and return home.”
Kong Yan continued to chant.
Empress Zhangsun's beautiful eyes lit up. After she finished writing, her right hand paused.
"When we parted, I couldn't bear to look at the Magpie Bridge Road.”Kong Yan reminded softly.
Empress Zhangsun nodded slightly, and her right hand that was holding the pen moved again.
"If the love between the two is long, how can it be day and night?”
After she stopped writing, Empress Zhangsun read the poem softly. She seemed to feel the lingering emotions, joys and sorrows contained in the poem. For a moment, she revealed an infatuated expression again.
Kong Yan stared at Empress Zhangsun's calligraphy and nodded secretly. If his calligraphy was ugly, then Empress Zhangsun's calligraphy was elegant and dignified.
"Was this written by that poet surnamed Xin?”After a long time, Empress Zhangsun looked at Kong Yan.
Kong Yan paused and shook his head." No, his surname is Qin. He's also not in this world."”
It was probably the most popular poem of Qin Guan's.
"If the love between the two is long, how can it be day and night!”Empress Zhangsun sighed.
"Let's continue." Kong Yan smiled faintly.
"Did you really spend money to buy these two poems?”Empress Zhangsun could not believe it.
Scholars usually had integrity and would never sell their poems, especially since these two poems were immortal works that could be passed down through the ages.
"Of course. If I didn't buy it, I couldn't have made it myself, right?”Kong Yan chuckled.
Empress Zhangsun frowned, not quite believing that these two poems were written by Kong Yan.
"Are they…really dead?" Empress Zhangsun asked again.
"They are all dead." Kong Yan sighed.
"Is it not in the world, or is it unable to appear in front of the world?”
At this moment, a cold laugh sounded from the outer hall.
Kong Yan heard the voice and knew that Li Shiming had arrived without turning around.
"Your Majesty, when did you arrive?" Empress Zhangsun was curious. She looked in the direction of the curtain and was shocked." Lizhi, Chengqian, Qing Que…You came together?”
Kong Yan looked back and raised his eyebrows.
Li Shi Min's appearance was within his expectations.
After all, most men wouldn't feel at ease if their wife was in the same room with a young hunk.
However, he did not expect Princess Changle, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, and King of Yue Li Tai to appear at the same time.
The four of them stepped into the inner hall one after another with different expressions.
Li Shi Min's face turned green, and his eyes were cold.
Li Chengqian's eyes were filled with pure hatred. His gaze was cold and gloomy, and from time to time, a trace of viciousness would appear.
Li Tai's small eyes narrowed into a line, and not much expression could be seen.
Princess Chang Le blinked her big eyes, her face full of curiosity, perhaps mixed with a bit of embarrassment.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Kong Yan stood beside Empress Zhangsun and bowed.
As for the other three, they were directly ignored by him.
"Humph!" Li Shi Min snorted coldly and sat down on a couch not far away.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai bowed to Empress Zhangsun and found their seats.
They were very familiar with it. Clearly, this kind of gathering was very common for them.
Princess Changle came to the table and started to examine the poems on it.
"Pfft…What ugly handwriting." Seeing Kong Yan's calligraphy, Princess Chang Le burst out laughing.
“……”
Kong Yan pursed his lips. As expected of mother and daughter, their evaluations were the same.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the person who wrote these two poems is still in the human world.”Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Shimin and asked with a frown.
Li Shi Min snorted and said,"Whether he's alive or not, you won't be able to see him."
Empress Zhangsun looked at Kong Yan with a questioning look in her beautiful eyes.
Kong Yan sighed and explained,"His Majesty suspects that I have hidden these two poets."”
"When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and the world will be countless.”Princess Changle chanted in a low voice, her face flushed red.
For some reason, she thought of some unpleasant memories from the night of her mother's birthday banquet.
"Golden Wind Jade Dew? Reunion? How shameless!" Princess Changle cursed in her heart. She recalled the night when she was drenched in Kong Yan's urine and witnessed some indescribable critical parts. Her face was burning hot.
In the past two days, that scene had been unforgettable to her.
Perhaps it was because she felt something in her heart and recalled some scenes, she felt that these two poems might have been written by Kong Yan!
She understood the opening of the first poem as a description of the bustling scene of her mother's birthday banquet.
Everyone searched for him for thousands of times, but when she suddenly looked back…Princess Changle recalled the scene when she was following behind Kong Yan and the other party saw her the moment he turned around.
As for the second chapter," When the Golden Wind and Jade Dew meet..." Just this sentence alone was enough to make her completely misunderstand.
It had to be said that if Kong Yan knew what Princess Chang Le was thinking, he would be dumbfounded.
After all, the Golden Wind Jade Dew was such a beautiful phrase. Who would associate it with urine?
