Everyone looked over.
Xia Tingyu walked in from the side of the hall.
chat a few words
It was put on the shelves around this time last year. The book was written about a year and two months ago, with more than three million words. I worked hard to update it.
Now the number of words has increased, and some parts are difficult to write. I don’t know why my condition has been so bad recently. It was not quite right last month. I have been working hard to adjust. I will resume updating as soon as possible to return to the previous state of two to eight thousand words a day.
I won't talk about these, it's all about work, no need to say more. I don't need to complain to you about my own problems.
The main thing is that there may be more long chapters in the future, because of the word count, and we have entered a new volume. There are many characters' small plots, and I don't know whether these characters are well written, but there must be an explanation, so it will be written in the form of long chapters, just like before, but there will be more chapters in the future.
Then like the literary gatherings and so on, everyone has felt that each of my plots is actually paving the way for the big climax, like now at the world meeting, Su Changan has become completely famous in the Western Regions and other countries, and it is still the same now, everyone can feel the foreshadowing of the climax later, so it doesn’t matter much if I say it.
As for the story of a knife, I can't write a story of a knife, I really can't write one. I'm not very good at making it touching.
In some of the previous parts, even though I cried my eyes out while writing them, I didn’t know how to say them.
Many characters are written in miniature.
For example, Meng Shaoan.
If you choose the wrong path or look at the wrong thing, you will always have to pay a price. If it is not suitable, it is not suitable.
Some people miss it.
For example, between Xun Kuang and his first love, there are too many things that are not meant to be, and there are also too many things that are meant to be, but the two may never really be together.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang are the bright spots among them.
A novel with all the moments of crying and laughing feels like it should be read.
That's what I think, and that might be the reason for the failure.
Anyway, let's encourage each other. The next book will definitely be better. (Don't get me wrong, I won't start a new book if it's not finished or close to being finished.)
muah.
Chapter 714: How is the article? It can cover Daxia!
Today, Xia Tingyu was wearing a light pink long dress, but it was not an ordinary girl's dress. Instead, she looked more masculine as always, with the folding fan still in her hand.
While returning the gift, those fox eyes were captivating.
Although the talented men and beautiful women present were all famous people in the capital, and had all seen Her Highness the Princess to some extent, they dared not look directly at her foxy eyes. On the one hand, it seemed as if her thoughts would be completely seen through, and on the other hand, Her Highness the Princess was too charming.
Someone once said that the Rouge List in Shuyalou was wrong.
The reason is that this princess is not on the Rouge List.
But in fact, it was the King of Shu who did not nod.
After all, he is the prince who governs the three continents, so Shuyalou still has to think carefully.
Just like any list where Su Changan appears, Shuyalou will always send him to Yan Yunxiao first, and then pass it on to the Empress.
Only after the empress nodded did he dare to go up. If she didn't nod, he would definitely not dare to do so.
When Xia Tingyu walked past Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, she just glanced at them lightly with her fox eyes, without even looking at them for long, but instead looked towards where Qi Pei was.
In fact, people like Qi Pei and Zhao Huniu had less contact with the empress when they were young, but people like Xia Tingyu and Xia Zhixu had quite a lot of contact with her.
But even Qi Pei, when he noticed Xia Tingyu looking at him, turned his head away and didn't dare to look at him. The main reason was that he was "bullied" by Xia Tingyu a lot when he was a child, and there was a trauma in his heart.
Some people, when you first meet them, you'll feel a liking for them at first sight, no reason can explain it.
But there are also some people who, after meeting each other once, never dare to look each other in the eye again because they feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Qi Pei felt that the former, Queen Mother, was very suitable, while the latter, Xia Tingyu was very suitable, because you never know what will happen to you the next moment when this woman's eyes turn around.
Xia Tingyu smiled gently, somewhat charmingly, and then her foxy eyes looked at Zhao Huniu and Xia Yaomo, especially when she saw the red rope connecting their wrists, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Let’s look at Zhao Huniu and Xia Yaomo again.
Zhao Huniu had come behind Xia Yaomo without him knowing when. Xia Yaomo looked at Xia Tingyu and didn't know what to do, but still blocked Zhao Huniu.
Xia Tingyu almost laughed out loud, it was as if she was going to do the same thing to them, really.
While thinking about it, Xia Tingyu glanced at Gu Chiyu and the others again, then looked forward.
At that moment, all the officials, ladies and gentlemen no longer gathered together. After all, Xia Tingyu was here, and it was inappropriate to behave like that.
However, Xia Tingyu knew about this earlier.
And looking at the look on Dajiu Mu's face, Xia Tingyu was even more secretly happy. After all, she was also present that day and knew what Su Changan had written.
Moreover, during these days, she had specially asked people to pay attention to the affairs of the Lord Jijiu.
It was said that when Xun Kuang returned that day and gave the paper to the Master of the Imperial Academy, the Master of the Imperial Academy was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and found Xu Zuiyin, and even pulled Pei Nanzhi up from the mahjong table to study the content of the poem with the others.
I really don't dare to look for this old scholar, the Empress.
I guess we know that if we keep looking, His Majesty will really come out.
But because of this, it is said that this Lord Chief Priest did not sleep well for two nights and was severely tortured by the poem.
When it comes to obsession with excellent writing, no one in the world can compare to Mu Xu.
Therefore, Xia Tingyu felt that Su Changan really had completely grasped the lifeblood of this Lord Chief Priest!
He is the only one in the world who can handle things like this.
Walking forward, Xia Tingyu greeted everyone one by one.
When it was Zhao Wuxiu's turn, Xia Tingyu said, "I would like to congratulate Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Wuxiu was very happy. His fierce daughter had found someone. This was really a great joy for Zhao Wuxiu.
After a few pleasantries, Xia Tingyu turned to look at the people in the courtyard, holding a folding fan and bowing, "I am holding a literary gathering today. Actually, there is nothing else to do. It's mainly because I'm too bored in the capital, so I'm holding a literary gathering to make it lively."
As they were talking, the maids had already started serving the dishes.
Xia Tingyu continued, "So tonight, you can do whatever you want. But after all, this is a literary gathering, so poetry and prose are inevitable. Of course, I have also prepared some prizes. I think everyone has heard about them. As for the prize for winning the championship today."
Xia Tingyu smiled sweetly: "Let me keep you in suspense. When someone's poem wins the first prize and comes here today, such as Master, and you gentlemen recognize it as the first, it won't be too late to announce it later."
Xia Tingyu's smile touched many people, especially some students who were dumbfounded and swallowed their saliva.
Xia Tingyu continued, "Also, at the World Conference, the Queen once said 'Unification of Knowledge and Action' and 'Practice is the only criterion for testing truth'. I heard that everyone is arguing about these words. We can debate them today. After all, it's a literary gathering, and everyone can speak freely. Even if it's something that everyone is curious about, I think you can ask about it. Even if you ask the wrong question, I think the Lord Jijiu, Grand Tutor Su, and the Grand Master will not blame you, right?"
Xia Tingyu turned around and looked at Mu Xu, Su Wenqing, and Yang Shanchang.
Excluding Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang who are in hiding, these three people are indeed the people with the highest status at the moment in terms of status.
Su Wenqing smiled and said nothing.
Mu Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Tingyu. After pondering for a moment, he was too lazy to think about it further and lowered his head to continue reading the poem.
Yang Shanchang smiled and said, "Of course it is so."
Xia Tingyu smiled, then looked at everyone: "Then, everyone can cook as they please. However, two of the dishes today are original creations of the Queen. I specially asked for the recipes and you can try them."
After saying that, she waved her hand gently, and the music that had been prepared long ago started playing, and Xia Tingyu came to her seat and sat down.
Not the main seat.
The main seat is vacant.
Seeing Xia Tingyu sitting down at his seat, Xun Kuang stood up and bowed to everyone: "As the princess said, anyone can write poetry today. The spring weather is good, and although there is no limit to the topic, I think everyone can do it."
When Xun Kuang said this, Mu Xu stood up.
When Xun Kuang saw this, he immediately stepped aside.
Mu Xu said, "I will give you a topic titled Spring River Moonlit Night. Please write some poems. If the poems are good, both Grand Tutor Su and Grand Tutor Yang will give you prizes."
After saying that, Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing and Yang Shanchang seriously: "Is there any problem with Grand Master and Grand Tutor?"
This is really shameless. You set the questions, but others have to pay for the prizes. This is not the way to play the game of borrowing flowers to offer gifts to Buddha.
Su Wenqing and Yang Shanchang didn't seem to care and just looked at Mu Xu's shameless look.
Su Wenqing said: "Today's literary gathering is hosted by Her Royal Highness the Princess, so we can't just sit there. The three of us will have prizes to give, so you can just show off your literary talent."
Yang Shanchang nodded.
Mu Xu turned around and looked at everyone: "You heard it too, both of them are ready to make a bet, so let's get started."
After saying this, the Lord Jijiu turned around and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.
It's like I say mine, you say yours, I say what you two say, and you two say what we three say.
And this means returning to your own position.
But as soon as he got there, he immediately came to where Zhao Wuxiu and other generals were sitting with papers in his hand, and insisted on squeezing into Zhao Wuxiu's space.
It looked like he was trying to draw a clear line between himself and Su Wenqing and Yang Shanchang.
When everyone saw Mu Xu like this, the officials around him all laughed, and the teachers of the Imperial College shook their heads one by one, missing Master Yao very much at this moment. If he were there, he would have definitely pulled Mu Xu back to his original position and would have directly scolded him.
Su Wenqing smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he picked up the wine glass on the table, glanced at Xia Tingyu, then glanced into the hall. Finally, his eyes fell on the man and woman sitting next to his two granddaughters.
But he just glanced at her, then looked away and looked at Xia Tingyu: "Brother Wu is not coming?"
Xia Tingyu said: "He said he would come over later. After all, he also invited some other seniors from the End Realm."
Su Wenqing smiled and nodded.
While Su Wan'er and Wu Daming were sparring with each other, Su Wenqing and Wu Qinhu were chatting together.
One is the prime minister of the dynasty, the other is the great master of the martial arts world.
However, they got along very well, and what they talked about was all about the education of their younger generations. Perhaps it was because they saw Su Wan'er and Wu Daming's granddaughters pairing up, so they chatted even more enthusiastically.
Especially when it comes to studying, they both feel that even if they don't want to pursue university knowledge, they still have to read more. At least they can talk to people instead of just standing there with their eyes wide open.
