But the empress wrote below, "It's really well written, so good."
What's good about it? You just have a title and a sentence like 'The Emperor of Han was so obsessed with beauty that he wanted to conquer the whole country'.
And this sentence clearly marks the beginning of the narrative, but what happens next?
Maomao still said he knew nothing, then ran behind Yan Yunxiao, making everyone completely give up.
Yan Yunxiao is really someone you can't mess with.
So the original atmosphere of the banquet changed all of a sudden. At the beginning, everyone was comparing their own children and grandchildren, but after Su Wenqing came, the whole place became solemn. After all, who can compare with the children of your Su family?
Then everyone watched Zong Ze eating the food made by the Queen herself.
Mu Xu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he suggested that everyone present compose some poetry to liven up the atmosphere.
When scholars get together, they always have these things in mind.
After saying this, Mu Xu went to find Maomao.
I don't know what he took out, but when the cat saw it, its eyes lit up and its saliva was watering.
After some bargaining, Maomao took out three medicine bags and gave them to Mu Xu.
So, we have this scene now.
After Xia Fengxiang beckoned Su Wan'er over, she told Xia Fengxiang the whole process.
Su Wan'er's speech was eloquent and moving.
Su Changan naturally heard it as well. Although he guessed that it was Maomao who got it, he didn't expect Mu Xu to be such a good smoker!
In that small package, there were many things written by Su Changan, including a lot of complaints that he wrote out of his own interest.
As a result, the old man drew three super rare ones at once?
And it’s three consecutive draws?
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and smiled.
Xia Fengxiang was not surprised at all. He just sat in the hall holding Su Changan. After motioning Xia to bring some snacks over, he glanced at Su Changan and whispered to Su Wan'er.
Mu Xu and Li Lingyun looked at Su Changan.
Li Lingyun was fine. As the person in charge of collecting poems for compiling the whole book, Mu Xu specially asked him to come here as well. After all, since he received this task, he has been collecting poems and classifying them, especially Su Changan's. He naturally couldn't miss it when he saw it today.
But Li Lingyun is not Mu Xu after all, especially in front of His Majesty and the Queen, he is always steady.
Mu Xu, on the other hand, looked at Su Changan with expectation, "And you also said that The Song of Everlasting Regret is very good?"
Su Changan did not deny this and nodded solemnly: "Very good!"
Mu Xu was not polite and bowed immediately: "My lady, I will grind ink for you? Including the two poems above..."
Just as he said this, Mu Xu saw Su Changan take a step back and look at him.
Although he didn't do anything, the old scholar noticed it and immediately slapped his thigh, "Please don't do that. It's not just me. Everyone at the banquet is eagerly waiting for me to take back your two poems. I don't know how good this Song of Everlasting Regret is, but since you said it's very good, that's great! If I take it back, Su Wenqing will toast me with two glasses. I'll stand, and he won't dare to stand."
Su Changan smiled and said, "My grandfather's legs are not good, so let him sit down."
Mu Xu wanted to slap himself. What the queen meant was that she would not give it to you.
Mu Xu was thirsty for literature. Once, his apprentice Xu Zuiyin was writing poetry. He wrote an excellent sentence, but he couldn't think of the rest. Mu Xu was so anxious that he waited outside the door wrapped in a quilt on a snowy day, waiting for the sentence.
In Mu Xu's own words, "Watching a woman take off her clothes, halfway off, and then stop, don't be in a hurry."
These words sound very rough coming from the mouth of the chief academician of the Imperial College and the head of contemporary literati.
But if it comes from Mu Xu's mouth, it really tastes right.
Treat him like a woman.
Mu Xu has always been like this towards poetry and prose, and will continue to be so.
Mu Xu glanced at Su Wan'er, then looked at Su Chang'an: "My queen, Wan'er is crying. It's because she didn't read the rest of the poem."
When Li Lingyun heard Mu Xuzhen say this, he immediately took a step back. He was so embarrassed that he didn't have the face to be with this old man.
When Su Wan'er heard this, she immediately said, "I didn't. It was you, Lord Jijiu, who told me to cry when I saw my elder sister and His Majesty, but why should I cry?"
Su Wan'er had actually agreed to do it well before, and was just waiting to expose Mu Xu now.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu said as if he had expected it, "Yes, why are you crying? Because the poem is incomplete. Now the Queen is going to write it, so you don't cry."
Su Wan'er nodded immediately: "Is this it? Hmm?"
Then she immediately shook her head, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, because it felt wrong, yet it seemed right.
Xia Fengxiang chuckled, reached out to rub Su Wan'er's head, and then glanced at Mu Xu.
Mu Xu was so frightened that he immediately stood still and didn't dare to do anything else.
Su Changan also smiled, thinking that Wan'er was still trying to play tricks with Mu Xu. Sometimes he himself didn't dare to play with Mu Xu, even his grandfather wouldn't play.
Among all the people in the capital, Mu Xu is the most cunning.
After waving his hand and motioning Mu Xu and Li Lingyun to sit down, Su Changan said, "Do you two know why I haven't finished writing?"
The two stood up again and bowed to Su Changan, waiting for Su Changan to continue speaking.
Su Changan was not modest: "Whether it's those poems or the Song of Everlasting Regret, they are all too beautiful and good. Just thinking about them makes me too excited, and I have too many emotions and sigh for too long, so I won't write anymore."
Mu Xu just felt dry mouth and tongue. When he thought of an excellent sentence while writing, he was extremely excited. He was the same. Sometimes he was even reluctant to write it down, just because it was too good, and he was afraid that he would not be able to continue it after writing it down, which would ruin it.
And such articles, without exception, are all excellent works.
Especially since Mu Xu knew Su Changan's literary talent too well, how could he be so unacceptable! ?
But just when Mu Xu was about to stand up and speak in excitement, Su Changan continued, "It was quite unexpected. I don't know whether to say that Master Jijiu was lucky or my cat was lucky. He took out three poems, but I didn't expect them to be three extremely beautiful poems. There are actually some ordinary poems in them. There are very few poems on the same level as these three."
Mu Xu's eyes lit up, meaning
Like these three, are there any others that Her Majesty was too excited to write about?
But this matter is secondary at the moment. Mu Xu looked at Su Changan: "My queen."
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu's excited and anxious expression and said, "I didn't write it that day, and I certainly won't write it now. I'm saying this to tell you two adults why you didn't write it."
Mu Xu clapped his hands on his thighs, becoming even more anxious. "If you're not going to write, why are you saying all this? You're making me even more suspenseful!"
Li Lingyun wanted to say something, but he didn't say it and just sighed.
Looking at Mu Xu's current expression, Su Changan found it quite interesting. After all, it was rare to tease this old scholar.
It can be considered a punishment. Who asked him to bring Wan'er here like this?
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Changan and smiled lightly, looking so mean!
But at this time, he naturally sided with Su Changan, so Xia Fengxiang asked: "Is there anything else?"
His Majesty spoke, and Mu Xu and Li Lingyun hurriedly stood up.
Mu Xu looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Your Majesty."
Xia Fengxiang stood up and said, "If everything is ok, go back. Although the queen has recovered now, she still needs to rest more."
Mu Xu's old face twisted into a ball and he turned to look at Su Changan.
Su Changan smiled and said nothing.
Mu Xu's expression became even more bitter. The queen is not like this on weekdays, and I brought Wan'er with me.
Thinking of this, Mu Xu glanced at Li Lingyun, only to find that Li Lingyun had already bowed, making it clear that he was about to leave. Mu Xu wanted to jump up and scold him, "Did I bring you here just to keep you silent?"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Wan'er who ran to Su Chang'an, and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Mu Xu and said, "Yao Yuanzai is fine in Shu. Don't worry about him. I have sent someone to bring him back."
heard this
Mu Xu immediately looked at Xia Fengxiang and bowed: "Thank you for your grace."
Yao Yuanzai has always been a thorn in Mu Xu's side. Why did he have to go to Shu, a place of trouble, for no reason?
This time when Xia Tingyu came to Beijing, Mu Xu went to ask about Yao Yuanzai specifically. He was relieved to hear that she had settled Yao Yuanzai. However, since Xia Tingyu was here, he had no idea how Yao Yuanzai was doing in Shu.
Xia Fengxiang then asked, "Yang Shanchang, did you go to the banquet today?"
Mu Xu and Li Lingyun were both startled. They didn't expect His Majesty to ask this question, but Mu Xu still answered: "Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has not attended the banquet today."
Xia Fengxiang nodded and said nothing more.
His Majesty said nothing more, and the Queen took Wan'er to the other side. Although Mu Xu felt bitter, he still bowed again with Li Lingyun and left the yard.
When Mu Xu and Li Lingyun left, Su Wan'er naturally left with them.
Although she could stay overnight, Wan'er knew the rules, so she refused and left with Mu Xu and the others.
However, when Wan'er was leaving, she had a food box in her hand.
The three of them walked in the corridor inside the palace. Mu Xu sighed and cursed Li Lingyun, but he couldn't do it anymore.
Looking down at Su Wan'er, Mu Xu shook his head: "Wan'er, that's not very kind."
Su Wan'er was in a good mood, seeing her elder sister. After hearing what Mu Xu said, Su Wan'er looked up at Mu Xu and said, "Master Jijiu is not a kind person. He even wants to take advantage of a child like me."
Mu Xu was very thick-skinned, so when Dang Mei heard this, she just glanced at the lunch box in Su Wan'er's hand and said, "Wan'er."
Su Wan'er looked at Mu Xu.
Mu Xu said: "I am the elder, right?"
Su Wan'er nodded obediently.
Mu Xu said: "Then give me some."
Upon hearing this, Li Lingyun immediately walked to Su Wan'er, held Su Wan'er's hand, and looked at Mu Xu: "You are so shameless!"
After holding it in for a long time, the imperial censor of the time finally uttered this abusive remark.
Mu Xu was immediately unhappy: "Asking a child for food, how can you be shameless!"
Li Lingyun shook his head, took Su Wan'er's hand and walked quickly, staying away from this shameless old man.
Su Wan'er looked at Mu Xu, and it was exactly what her elder sister had guessed, so Su Wan'er immediately said, "Master Jijiu, my elder sister said that there is a poem called [Spring River Moon Night], and she was so excited that she jumped up and down, which is great."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu stopped and looked straight at Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er then said: "But he doesn't want to write it, he just wants me to tell you."
After saying that, Su Wan'er stuck out her tongue at Mu Xu, then turned around and walked away quickly.
