"Since Your Majesty is here, why don't you set a question?”Empress Zhangsun put her arm around Princess Changle's shoulder and teased,"This kid said he was well-prepared.”

Then, she explained the rules.

Two pieces of paper with poems written on them fell on the low table beside Li Shimin's couch.

After Li Shi Min read it, he didn't say a word and passed the two pieces of paper to Li Cheng Qian and Li Tai.

"Mother, I also want to set a question.”Princess Chang Le blinked and said.

"Your Highness, please set the question." Kong Yan smiled warmly.

Princess Chang Le's eyes turned, and when she saw Li Chengqian and Li Tai, her eyes lit up.

"Hehe, the green sparrow is fat and the crown prince is thin. You have to include these two words in your poem.”Princess Chang Le said with a smile.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian's expressions froze at the same time.

Li Shi Min coughed and took a sip of tea to hide his smile.

Empress Zhangsun rubbed Princess Changle's head and chuckled.""You sure know how to make things difficult for people."

"Hmph, he asked for it.”Princess Chang Le raised her chin.

Kong Yan paced back and forth, his brows furrowed. He really didn't expect to use fat or thin to set the questions.

"Last rain and wind last night, but I can't sleep.”Kong Yan chanted softly.

Empress Zhangsun repeated it silently and wrote it down on the paper.

After confirming that there was no mistake, Kong Yan chanted,""Ask the Curtain Rollers, Haitang is still the same.

Do you know? Do you know? It should be green fat red thin."

"Finished?" Seeing Kong Yan stop, Princess Chang Le blinked and asked.

Kong Yan nodded.

Princess Chang Le looked at the table and narrowed her eyes. She said proudly,"Only thin, not fat!"

Kong Yan's expression did not change. He glanced at Princess Chang Le and said lightly,""I feel that it would be more appropriate to use the word fat to describe the Yue King.”

"..."

Li Tai's face darkened.

Empress Zhangsun sighed softly.”

"Yes." Kong Yan nodded. Li Qingzhao could be called a rare woman of her generation. She was a real talented woman.

"What about her?" Empress Zhangsun looked at Kong Yan. As a woman, Empress Zhangsun wanted to meet this poetess.

"Ahem, she's also gone.”Kong Yan coughed dryly and braced himself.

"Hehe…" Li Shiming laughed disdainfully.

Princess Changle looked at the poem on the table and felt a little jealous.

"This doesn't count. You said you were fat.”Princess Changle humphed,

"Lizhi." Empress Zhangsun gave a reproachful look.

"Father ~" Seeing that Empress Zhangsun did not support her, Princess Changle turned to Li Shimin and acted coquettishly.

Li Shiming gave him a look that said,"Don't worry, I'm here." He said lightly,"The title is still fat and thin, but there is no need for these two words to appear. The artistic conception in the poem only needs to reflect the change between fat and thin.”

"Fat and thin changes?"

The others were stunned.

Li Shi Min sipped his tea without saying a word, looking relaxed.

"I lean against the dangerous building, the wind is thin, I look at the sorrow of spring, and the darkness grows in the sky!”

This time, without hesitation, Kong Xuan recited a sentence.

Everyone was stunned. Empress Zhangsun was the first to react. She quickly picked up the brush and dipped it on the inkstone. After a moment of silence, she began to write.

"In the grass, smoke, and light, there is no word. Who will rely on their will?”

"I want to get drunk and sing to wine.”

"I don't regret it when my clothes become wider. I'm haggard because of Yi.”

After Kong Yan finished chanting, he added,""The author of this poem is surnamed Liu and is no longer alive.”

"..."

Other than the palace maids, everyone else in the hall was extraordinary. Even if Li Chengqian's literary talent was not high, he still had the basic ability to appreciate a poem.

The poems that Kong Yan recited could be passed down through the ages.

"I don't regret it when my clothes become wider. I'm haggard because of Yi.”Empress Zhangsun chanted in a low voice. She glanced at Li Shimin's bulging beer belly and sighed softly.

"He should have a large number of learned people around him.”Li Shi Min thought to himself, feeling a little frightened, and his fear of Kong Yan increased.

Li Tai's expression was complicated. He couldn't write such a poem.

This was no doubt a big blow to him, who was quite famous for his talent.

After all, he had always been proud of his talent in literature.

Li Chengqian's expression was gloomy. He had come today to find trouble with Kong Yan, but he did not expect Kong Yan to be able to make his mother so happy.

This made him look at Kong Yan even colder.

"Why do I feel like you did it yourself?”Princess Changle stared at the poem on the table and muttered.

Due to her preconceived notions, she felt that these poems were all written by Kong Yan.

There was no noise in the hall. Everyone heard her muttering clearly.

After some thought, everyone felt that it was impossible.

If it was all done by Kong Yan, it would be too exaggerated.

After all, these four poems were all immortal works!

"Your Highness really thinks highly of me.”Kong Yan chuckled.

"Then how do you prove that you didn't write it?”Princess Chang Le asked.

"If a small merchant like me can write poems that no one in the literary world can write, won't all the scholars in the world die in shame?" Kong Yan pondered and said.”

"

Hmph, you came to the Empress just to show off the poems you bought?”Li Shi Min said coldly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Kong Yan smiled and said,"I do intend to sell these poems that I bought.”

He emphasized the word 'sell'.

"Hmm?" Li Shi Min frowned.

The others were also puzzled.

"I plan to cooperate with the Empress to publish a collection of poems," Kong Yan explained.”

"Poetry collection publication?" Empress Zhangsun frowned slightly and asked,"Why do you want to cooperate with me?”

"Doesn't the Empress like poetry?”Kong Yan smiled and said. The drought in Guanzhong has caused the victims to be homeless. Don't you want to do your part?”

Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes.

The events of the imperial court were still vivid in his mind.

"Is he really kind, or does he want to win the hearts of the people?”Li Shi Min's expression was dark. Disaster victims were always the easiest to bewitch.

They would listen to whoever gave them food!

"But publishing poems…what can bengong do?”Empress Zhangsun was puzzled.

She liked reading and poetry, but this did not mean that she could write beautiful articles or poems that had been passed down through the ages.

"Empress is too modest." Kong Yan smiled slightly and said,"Don't you know that all women in the celestial world regard you as their role model? Everything you produce must be of the best quality!”

Empress Zhangsun blinked and said,""Bengong still doesn't understand. What do you want Bengong to do when you publish poetry?”

"He wants to use your name to do things.”Li Shi Min sneered.

Seeing Empress Zhangsun frown, Kong Yan explained,""If Your Majesty has the time, this subject would like to ask Your Majesty to provide annotations for each poem. If possible, it would be best to write a story for each poem.”

"Notes? Story?"

Everyone was shocked.

Even Li Chengqian, who had never been very interested, cast a curious gaze.

Kong Yan smiled faintly and said,"In my opinion, reading should be an interesting thing. Every poem has a story behind it. It may be poignant and beautiful, or tragic and stirring, or joyful, or resentful…It's just

that the form of the poem limits some people's understanding. If Your Majesty can clearly write out the story that you have comprehended from the poem, it will definitely make more people fall in love with reading.”

"Naturally, there are more important reasons.”

Kong Yan revealed a slightly evil smile.""If the story written by the Empress is long enough, perhaps one poem from a collection of poems would be enough.”

"If that's the case, then I'll produce twelve volumes a year. For different customers, the poems can be divided into cheap edition, hardcover edition, luxury edition, supreme edition, and even out of print!”

"There's no need to worry about sales. The Great Development Trading Company can solve all sales problems. Moreover, with the Empress's reputation, it's enough to beat all competitors.”

"There's no need to worry about printing. The Dayan Trading Company has recently developed movable type printing. The printing speed is much faster than the most advanced engraving printing…

" "Since Your Majesty is here, why don't you set a question?”Empress Zhangsun put her arm around Princess Changle's shoulder and teased,"This kid said he was well-prepared.”
