"A poem in three steps…? Could it be that those street slanders used to coax children?”
Li Er smiled bitterly and shook his head. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. This woman was really easy to deceive!
"Sowing a grain in the spring, harvesting ten thousand seeds in the autumn, there is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmer will starve to death…! Imperial Father, this is also called a jingle?"
Li Lizhi pouted and said angrily.
After Li Xuan left, she asked her mother what she thought of him. Therefore, she learned about the poem in three steps.
In fact, she originally didn't have any good feelings for Li Xuan, nor did she hate him. She only found him good-looking and was curious about him.
However, after learning about his poem, her opinion of him changed drastically.
She had thought that he was just an interesting landlord, but she had never thought that he was actually a poet full of knowledge!
Therefore, when he saw his father mocking him, he was naturally indignant!
"Sowing a grain in the spring, harvesting ten thousand seeds in the autumn, there is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmer will starve to death…!”
Hearing his daughter's words, Li Er muttered to himself. When he finished reading the last line, his heart shook." This poem was written by that kid…?"”
"That's right…! And it was a poem that was composed within three steps!”
Seeing his appearance, Empress Zhangsun was quite pleased because she had been like this before.
"Impossible, how could such an ancient poem be written in three steps? That kid must have prepared it beforehand or paid someone to write it, and then used it as a betrothal gift to fool you!”
Although this poem wasn't bad, Li Erduan didn't believe that it was written by Li Xuan!
The reason was simple. He had never heard of a poet who could compose such a wonderful poem in three steps!
Therefore, he concluded that Li Xuan had deceived the mother and daughter!
"I think you're the one who's prejudiced against him…!”
Empress Zhangsun glared at him angrily." At that time, I asked him to write a poem with the theme of agriculture. I came up with the theme at the last minute. How did he know in advance?”
"Later, mother asked him to write a poem with sweet potatoes as the theme. In the end, he quickly composed it!”
Princess Changle raised her pretty face and said smugly, as though the person composing the poem wasn't Li Xuan but herself!
"What poem did he compose this time?”
Li Er asked curiously.
"The heart of the common people is the most affectionate. Chun Fang was the heartless thing, occupying the time and shadow!”
Princess Chang Le shook her head and read out.
Li Er muttered to himself for a moment before he couldn't help but laugh." This kid is trying to use other things as a metaphor for himself. He's praising himself for being selfless and not asking for anything in return!”
"How did Imperial Father know?"
Princess Chang Le blinked her eyes and asked in confusion.
Compared to her parents, her attainments in poetry were far inferior. When she heard the poem, she could only understand the surface meaning. She could not understand the inner meaning.
"The first two sentences say that sweet potatoes care about the common people and are eaten by the common people without asking for anything in return. The last two sentences were saying that although the spring flowers were beautiful, they would disappear after they bloomed. Wasn't this obviously implying that he was selfless and not vain and impetuous?”
Li Er explained to her.
At that moment, if Li Xuan were here, he would definitely be dumbfounded. A poem he had casually copied on the Internet had actually become a boast?
"Hmm…!"
After listening to his explanation, Princess Changle nodded in agreement." Father is right. He is a selfless person. He solved the problem of food and clothing for the people of Tang without asking for anything in return!”
"Pfft…! Cough, cough…"
Li Er, who was drinking water, choked on it. He quickly put down the cup and coughed for a long time before he could catch his breath.
"That kid still doesn't want anything in return…?”
Li Er pointed at his daughter, his hands trembling in anger." He already asked Father to give you to him. How can this be called selfless and not asking for anything in return?"”
He didn't understand. This kid was only here to give a betrothal gift. How did he capture both of them?
"That…that was what you lost to him, Father. He didn't exchange it for sweet potatoes!”
Princess Changle raised her chin and said indignantly.
