Zhangsun Manor.
Although it was already late at night, the residence was still not quiet.
The candlelight flickered in the room.
Zhangsun leaned against the edge of the bed, his entire body reeking of alcohol. He was completely drunk.
He waved his fists wildly and shouted,"Get lost, get lost! Don't touch me!"
"Where's the wine? Where's the wine? Bring me more wine!”
The maids and servants beside him looked at each other. No one could get close to him.
At this moment, a dignified figure walked in.
Zhangsun Wuji stepped into the bedroom, followed by the worried Madam Chen.
"Chong-er…"
Miss Chen wanted to say something when she saw him like this, but Zhangsun Wuji had already taken a step forward.
He reached out and grabbed Zhangsun Chong, who was completely drunk. Then, without any hesitation, he slapped him across the face!
"Pa-!"
A crisp slap sounded and Zhangsun Chong fell onto the bed.
"Chong-er!"
Miss Chen turned pale with fright and quickly went forward to check on Zhangsun Chong's condition. At the same time, she said anxiously to Zhangsun Wuji,"Master, what are you doing!"
"Ignore him, just let him rot here!”
Zhangsun Wuji's face was ashen and his eyes were extremely sharp. He pointed at Zhangsun Chong and scolded,"Look at him now! You've really disgraced our Zhangsun Clan!”
His tone was filled with disappointment.
Ever since Fu Su composed that stunning poem, Zhangsun Chong had been drinking in silence at the banquet until he was so drunk.
Zhangsun Wuji did not bother about it.
However, after seeing Zhangsun Chong's unbearable appearance, he could not help it.
At this moment, Zhangsun Chong was already somewhat awake.
When he heard Zhangsun Wuji's reprimanding words, a wave of anger surged from his heart.
Zhangsun Chong got up from the bed and glared at Zhangsun Wuji.""Face, face, face, you only know your face!”
"You clearly know that I really like Lizhi. Why did you propose to let Lizhi marry into Qin Country?”
"When have you ever considered my feelings?”
Zhangsun Chong roared hysterically, shocking everyone in the room.
The maids and servants were shocked.
When they came back to their senses, they all knelt on the ground, trembling.
Zhangsun Chong stared at Zhangsun Wuji with bloodshot eyes.
This was the first time in his life that he had been so disobedient. Even though he knew that he would face severe punishment, he was still not afraid.
Because this was what he had always wanted to say!
Li Lizhi was clearly not needed for the marriage alliance, but the one who suggested that Li Lizhi go to Great Qin was Zhangsun Wuji, his biological father!
This was what made him truly angry!
"Everything is for the Great Tang."
"Our Zhangsun Clan is favored by the king, and the interests of the country are paramount.”
Zhangsun Wuji didn't get angry. He said after a moment of silence.
There was deep fatigue in his tone and expression.
Zhangsun Chong looked at him, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment, but in the end, they turned into pleading.
He knelt down in front of Zhangsun Wuji and cried,"Father, I beg of you, I beg of you to ask His Majesty to change a princess for marriage.”
"Lizhi and I are childhood sweethearts. We are a match made in heaven. Why are you so cruel to break us up?”
。
Heart-wrenching cries echoed in the bedroom.
His face was covered in tears, and his left cheek was swollen. He looked extremely pitiful.
Miss Chen couldn't bear to look at it, so she quietly wiped her tears.
No matter how cold-hearted Zhangsun Wuji was, his heart still trembled when he saw Zhangsun Chong's expression.
However, he did not waver. He closed his eyes and said word by word,
"The engagement has been confirmed and cannot be changed.”
"The alliance between the Qin and Tang cannot tolerate any accidents. Everything is for the benefit of the Great Tang!”
"Moreover, Young Master Qin, Fu Su is more than ten times more outstanding than you. He is the most suitable for Princess Chang Le. You should know this in your heart.”
"Don't mention this again!"
After Zhangsun Wuji said that, he turned around and left.
Looking at his departing figure, Zhangsun Chong let out a bitter laugh and fainted.
Miss Chen's expression changed drastically when she saw this. She pounced forward and cried,"Chong-er! Chong-er! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me…"
……
Although the banquet had ended, its influence was far from dissipating.
The first was the official alliance between Qin and Tang, which was of extraordinary significance to the Great Tang.
With the two countries establishing diplomatic relations and the Qin State providing warhorses for the Great Tang, the Great Tang would no longer have to fear the threat of the Turks.
Secondly, during the banquet, Madam Gongsun had performed a sword dance, and Li Bai and Young Master Qin had lost the match.
Li Bai was the number one scholar of the Great Tang, and his poems were peerless. They were sought after and worshipped by countless people, and every poem received great attention.
However, no one expected that Li Bai would lose to the Qin people in poetry this time!
In the eyes of the Tang, Qin was a border country, and its people were even more vulgar. In terms of cultural development, it could not compare to the Great Tang.
But now, the number one scholar of the Great Tang had actually lost!
Everyone who heard the news had a first reaction of disbelief. After confirming it, their second reaction was that Li Bai had lost on purpose.
But when they saw Li Bai and Fu Su's poems, they were all speechless.
Once a chivalrous man goes out, he will show the chivalrous spirit of the world.
This poem could be passed down for hundreds of generations. Only Li Bai could write such a masterpiece!
And Fu Su's < Watching Gongsun Aunt's Sword Dance > was also extremely outstanding, even better than Chivalrous Swordsmanship!
After reading these two poems, no one thought that Li Bai had lost on purpose.
It was because the other party's poems were too outstanding!
"The young master of the State of Qin actually has such talent, truly astonishing!”
"This poem is enough to become a masterpiece!”
"Li Bai's loss was not unjustified. Although his chivalrous deeds are good, they are not as majestic as Young Master Qin's poems.”
"That's right. When I read this poem, I feel as if I'm seeing Aunt Gongsun's sword dance.”
"To think that we thought that the Qin people were vulgar…I'm truly ashamed.”
"A single word that can suppress Chang 'an's poems!"
……
While everyone was shocked, they also put away their contempt.
As a result, when the news of Princess Chang Le and Fu Su's engagement and her marriage to the distant Qin State spread, the people who heard the news did not have much of a reaction.
Fu Su had earned respect through his own abilities.
Not to mention the fact that the Qin envoy had defeated the Turkic challenge and killed the Turkic envoy.
This kind of behavior made everyone who heard it applaud!
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Princess Chang Le and Fu Su were a perfect match.
However, there were some rumors that the eldest son of Zhangsun Manor fell ill after the banquet. However, not many people paid attention to this news and it was quickly covered up by other matters.
