Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

"I'll do it!"

A sonorous and powerful voice sounded in the hall.

Everyone looked up and saw a young man in plain clothes standing up.

"It's Yang Sheng, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy."

"This man has always been upright and fearless of power. I wonder what kind of poem he will write today."

While everyone was discussing.

Yang Sheng had already raised his wine glass, drank it all, and recited with emotion:

"Twenty years of reading law and books, there is a blue sky above the black gauze.

A man wants to paint the Lingyan Pavilion, and the first thing he cares about is fame and not money."

From a literary perspective, this poem is just mediocre.

But considering the author's character, it can be called a masterpiece.

After a round of applause.

A few more people stood up, and their poems were not satisfactory, and there was still a certain gap from the masterpieces.

Yuan Zhe looked around and saw that everyone was thinking with their heads down. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Today, we are able to enjoy the delicacies and fine wines, all thanks to the prince's gift of marriage. How can we only care about our own happiness and ignore the prince?"

Speaking of this, he stood up, looked at Ren Pingsheng with a smile, raised his glass and said, "I offer a glass of wine to the prince, and I would like to invite you to write a poem!"

After that, he drank the wine in the glass and said leisurely, "Young people only like quietness and don't care about anything. I have no long-term plan, and I only know to return to the old forest."

It means that although he has the ambition of a young man, he only likes quietness and doesn't care about the world. He thinks he has no ability and just wants to return to his hometown...

After reading.

The hall fell into a brief silence.

"If the first line of this poem is about being quiet in old age, it would give people a sense of detachment from the world. Although it does not fit the title, it can be regarded as a good work.

But if it is changed to being quiet in youth, it always gives people a feeling of being unambitious and contented.

Especially the latter part of being self-centered and having no long-term plan makes people feel that this person is mediocre and useless, which is strange."

"Why is it strange? Yuan Zhe wrote this poem not to express his own emotions."

"Then why did he write this poem?"

"Think carefully, who is the banquet held for today?"

"Do you mean that Yuan Zhe is satirizing the prince of Zhenbei?"

Everyone whispered for a while and soon realized.

Yuan Zhe used this poem to satirize the prince of Zhenbei for being mediocre and useless and contented.

"Yuan Zhe and the Prince of Zhenbei have never met before, why did he write a poem to provoke him?"

"Yuan Zhe is the son-in-law of Lord Sun Ying, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Sun has always advocated the reduction of the feudal system and has impeached the three feudal lords several times. He did this to please his own Taishan."

"I heard that the Prince of Zhenbei is a modest gentleman. I wonder how he will react to provocation."

Everyone's eyes swept back and forth between Yuan Zhe and Ren Pingsheng, looking like they were watching the fun and not afraid of trouble.

After the case.

Ren Pingsheng picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said lightly: "I am not good at poetry."

After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and continued to pick up the dishes. He didn't even look at Yuan Zhe from beginning to end, as if he was disdainful of him.

Everyone saw that he ignored the sarcasm in the poem calmly, and was slightly stunned, thinking: "That's it? At least scold him a few words!"

Of course, some people were quite impressed by Ren Pingsheng's reaction.

For example, Yang Sheng, who was the first to write a poem, sighed: "The gentleman is open and honest, while the villain is always worried. The prince is indeed as rumored, with the style of an ancient gentleman!"

The gentleman refers to Ren Pingsheng.

It is self-evident who the villain refers to.

He spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice, and many people in the hall heard it, and their faces showed recognition.

Although they also had complaints about many actions of the King of Zhenbei.

However, how to deal with the vassal king is the business of your majesty and the court.

The prince has no grudges against them, so why ridicule him?

Yuan Zhe's behavior is a bit petty.

Not far away.

Yuan Jun also heard Yang Sheng's words, and was angry and glared at him.

He really wanted to ridicule Yang Sheng. As the youngest Jinshi in the past hundred years, he should have risen to prominence after entering the Hanlin Academy.

As a result, he has been standing still for so many years and is still a Shujishi.

On second thought, if he really did this in front of everyone, wouldn't it prove that he is always worried?

"You are just a bookworm. I will let you go today. I will show you how I can control you in the future!"

Yuan Zhe took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Ren Pingsheng, and smiled: "I am Menglang. I shouldn't bother the prince."

After that, he sat down.

Jin Wang Liu Yutong didn't expect Yuan Zhe's provocation to be resolved so easily. His eyebrows raised, and he sighed in his heart: "He can keep his composure."

Opposite.

Ren Pingsheng ate his food by himself, still doing his own thing, not caring about the eyes of the crowd, and ignoring the whispers.

The hall was quiet for a while, and then it became lively again.

I don't know who suggested it, but everyone played Feihualing.

Next to Ren Pingsheng sat two princes and a princess.

The princess was about six or seven years old.

The two princes were thirteen or fourteen years old.

Seeing everyone playing Feihualing, they were also eager to try.

While waiting, a prince seemed to have thought of something and raised his voice: "Where is Liu Yunmeng? If she is not here, who will cover for me!"

The speaker was the seventh prince Liu Shuo. Because he was favored by his grandfather, Duke Dingguo, he developed an arrogant and domineering character since he was a child.

He was taught a lesson several times by Princess Chang'an and Princess Yunhe, who were a few years older than him, but he still did not repent.

"It's the seventh prince again."

Everyone looked at him, frowning slightly.

He is a prince, and his maternal grandfather is Duke Dingguo.

Everyone was dissatisfied with him and had no choice but to sigh in their hearts.

"Seventh Prince, Princess Yunhe has something to do and will come later." The eunuch replied softly.

"Is there anything more important than attending Her Royal Highness the Queen's banquet!"

A boy of thirteen or fourteen is in his rebellious stage.

Seeing that the two princesses who had been bullying him were not there.

He raised his voice as if proud of himself.

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "I heard that an important book was copied in the library."

"With that slender head of hers, it's useless no matter how many books she copies."

The Seventh Prince remembered the time when Liu Yunmeng hit his head with a book, gritted his teeth and felt angry.

The eunuch wiped his sweat and did not dare to speak.

at this time.

Prince Jin, who was sitting opposite, slowly spoke: "Xiao Qi, how can others recite poems when you are making so much noise there?"

When the seventh prince heard this, he pouted and replied, "I understand." and then became quiet.

"Sister-in-law is copying books in the library? Is it for me?"

Ren Pingsheng was just glad that he didn't meet his sister-in-law. After hearing this, his mood suddenly became complicated.

With her sister-in-law's character, it was impossible for her to concentrate on studying. At this time, she ran to the library and had no other choice but to help him copy "Beixuan Bi Tan".

After all, she is still a child.

It is really rare to skip the banquet and go copy books first.

How should I put it, I was a little touched.

As Ren Pingsheng was thinking this, he heard the Seventh Prince saying in a voice that could only be heard at the next table:

"I really hope that bitch Liu Yunmeng will be destroyed by the demon clan like Liu Ruyan!"

He didn't seem to be relieved after saying this, and gritted his teeth and said: "It's easy to destroy your cultivation and ruin your appearance, but you should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"

While he was talking, he kept looking at the other prince and didn't even notice that there was Ren Pingsheng next to him.

"Seventh brother, don't say that, the emperor is very kind to us sometimes." Another prince advised in a low voice.

"What a fart!"

The seventh prince gritted his teeth and wanted to say something. Before he could speak, he suddenly saw Ren Pingsheng standing up and walking to him, then stopped.

"You are blocking this prince."

The seventh prince raised his eyes and looked at him, frowning slightly and speaking in a bad tone.
