Chapter 161 Qujiang River Drink (2)

Wang Changling is like this. He has a little bit like a child and can't hold his anger in his heart, but in a blink of an eye he forgot. He hurriedly pulled Li Qing's hand and smiled and introduced: "Qinglian, he is the governor Li who everyone is talking about in Chang'an City today. I am the youngest third-rank official in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, those gold and jade born in the royal family are not counted."

Li Qing was frightened and whispered to Wang Changling and said, "Didn't I say don't reveal my identity? Why did you forget?"

Wang Changling blinked his eyes, touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I was angry with you for a moment, but I forgot."

Li Qing no longer cared about his apology. He suddenly reacted and stared at the man in white robe. He couldn't say a word for a long time. Wang Changling called him Qinglian, so he was Li Bai, a great poet Li Bai who was known to everyone in the future. Although Li Qing had been in the Tang Dynasty for four years, he had long been dissolved in this era. He was no longer surprised by countless famous people in the Tang Dynasty. Even when he saw Cen Shen just now, he was too lazy to even call him, but the word "Li Bai" actually made him feel a strong shock. It was the popular immortal poems that pushed him high to the sky, almost mythical.

This person is Li Bai. Li Bai, whose courtesy name is Taibai and his pseudonym Qinglian Jushi, was from Chengji, Longxi (Today's Water). At the end of the Sui Dynasty, his ancestor moved to Suye City in the Western Regions (now Central Asia). Li Bai was born there. His family moved back to Shuzhong at the age of five. At the age of twenty, Li Bai began to travel around the world and sought officials everywhere, eager to ascend to a high position to realize his political ambitions, but he repeatedly encountered walls. Although he was famous all over the world, he still had no position to achieve his position. He was in middle age. This time he went to Beijing, so he wanted to make a desperate bet to realize his greatest ideal in life: to manage his family, govern the country, and pacify the world.

He had just returned from Qilu, and Wang Changling's cocktail party was actually just a reception for him. Seeing Li Qing a little dazed, he bowed and said in a deep voice: "Governor Li made contributions to the country in Nanzhao. He did not seek the prosperity of Chang'an, but he took the initiative to go to the Western Regions to guard the border. This is my passionate man in the Tang Dynasty. In the lower Li Bai, a native of Zhangming County, Mianzhou, he is also the village party of Governor Li."

Li Qing's heart had calmed down and said to Li Bai lightly: "The Qinglian lay Buddhist is famous all over the world. If you say you don't admire him, it's pretentious."

Li Qing worships only his poems. His poems, "Writing in shocking wind and rain, and poetry in tears," can be said to have reached the pinnacle of literature and art, but he does not admire his character as much as Du Fu. On the one hand, he said, "How can I bow my eyebrows and serve the powerful and unhappy, so that I can't be happy?" But he turned around and said, "I don't need to live in a thousand households, I hope I can know Han Jingzhou at once."

On the one hand, he said, "Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty is spreading a small boat." But King Yong Li Lin rebelled and asked each other for help. He ran from his seclusion in Lushan Mountain, willing to drive him.

He was a man of talent and a crazy person. He played with Gao Lishi after drinking and mocked the concubine Yang Yuhuan in poetry. However, after being repaid by Li Longji, he was depressed for ten years. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with the position of a Hanlin scholar, or perhaps he was dissatisfied with the position of a scholar without talent, but how could he use poetry to govern the country? People's livelihood matters are cumbersome and small, so how could he calm down? The political struggle was cruel and weird, and it was not his romantic feelings that could be achieved.

His character should not be humble, but the loneliness of a talented person, but the pain that no one understands, but the anger at the unsuccessful life. He spent his whole life in contradictions and confusion, just as he said in his poem: "Stop the cup and throw chopsticks and can't eat it, draw the sword and look around in a daze."

Although Li Qing was a modern person, he had been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, had integrated into that era, and had already reached a high position. He admired Li Bai, and Li Bai also admired him.

Seeing Wang Changling anxious for a while, he smiled and said to Li Bai: "Since Mr. Qinglian is willing to change the place, it is better to obey Li Qing's orders than to be respectful."

Wang Changling was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Then I will talk to your butler now!"

He had just taken two steps, and two carriages rushed from the side. One seemed to be afraid of being late. The car was fast and it was too late to stop. Wang Changling was about to fall back. He was about to run into it. Li Qing almost had his eyes and hands out of instinct, and he pulled Wang Changling back, "Beware!" The strong wind blew past his face, shaving his face so much that it hurt.

Li Qing's face darkened. Who dared to be so arrogant? He was so fast when he entered Xingyuan. Isn't it Wang Changling's responsibility to hit someone?

The carriage had already stopped, and one behind was also stopped ten steps away. The doors of the two carriages were almost opened at the same time. In front of him, a young man was about the same age as Li Qing and not tall. He wore a robe, a light green silk cloth robe, and a silver belt on his waist. He was a sixth-rank official. When he looked at his face, his face was pale and he looked a little thin, but his eyes were obviously a little arrogant.

He looked at Wang Changling, slightly curled the corner of his mouth, and said dryly: "Who I said I wanted to stop my carriage with me? It turned out to be Wang Jiangning. He is really strong, haha!"

When Wang Changling saw him, a hint of contempt appeared on his face. Last year, this person called him a senior, and he won the top scorer, and changed his name when he became an official. It is said that this person is a celebrity of Li Linfu. He was appointed as a secretary of the sixth rank. He did not invite him, but came here, "Bah! He is wearing official uniforms. What's so great about a sixth rank? My friend is still from the third rank! He is not as arrogant as you."

Wang Changling turned around and looked at Li Qing, but saw him staring at the darkness with surprise. Looking at him in his eyes, Wang Changling was stunned for a moment. Although he was not lustful, he couldn't help but feel a sense of stunning in his eyes.

I saw a white long dress gradually appearing in the twilight. In the moonlight, she did not make any decoration or make-up. She seemed to be a fairy who had just fallen from the moon. Her face was transparent crystal white. In her eyes like two deep pools, her eyes were like a thousand-year-old cold jade, cold and transmissing people's hearts. But the moment she saw Li Qing, the cold jade turned into a colorful gem, shooting out a hot and gorgeous light. Her lips, which were as hard as rocks, suddenly became soft and plump, as if there were thousands of words to say, but her lips only moved, and no word could be said.

Needless to say, readers all know who she is. Li Jingyan agreed to her elder brother's request and accompanied Zhao Yue to participate in Qujiang Liuyu. Although she regretted it later, she still came out of etiquette. But she never expected to meet Li Qing here. She was surprised and forgot everything around her for a moment.

"Princess, you have nothing to do!"

The humble greeting woke her up. She saw a person who made her disgusted standing beside her. Li Jingyan instinctively took two steps back, not wanting to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Zhao Yue's face turned pale and turned around suddenly, staring at Li Qing fiercely. It was too obvious. The princess saw that this person seemed to have completely changed. Who was he?

At this moment, a sour feeling popped up in Li Qing's heart. He didn't expect Li Jingyan would come with another man. In Li Qing's opinion, this is a date, and he had heard of this person. Last year's new top scorer was very talented, and even Cen Shen was under him. But he was a prime minister and he felt that he had an obligation to tell Li Jingyan immediately that his father was a centrist and she must not interact with prime ministers.

Finally, I finally persuaded myself and asked her to date Zhao Yue! I don’t like her, so I’m jealous and care about other people’s business? It’s all because of the bad things that Lian’er and Xiaoyu are not good. I’m joking so hard that I have a ghost in my heart. I’m already married, so how could I marry her again? Besides, the surname is Li, so it’s impossible to have a result.

Having said that, Zhao Yue could not stop the sourness in his heart when he walked towards her. He suddenly hated Li Jingyan. How could she agree to come out alone with another man? It was at night.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Yue looked at Li Qing with a arrogant tone. He had a low position and could not go to court, so he did not know Li Qing.

Li Qing ignored him and said to Wang Changling: "Brother Yuhu is going to change the place? I'll go with you."

At this time, Li Bai stood a few steps behind his hands, looking at the young people with a smile, as if standing in the clouds and watching the fight, Wang Changling grabbed Li Qing's arm and dragged him back. He was a person who had experienced it, and you could tell at a glance that Li Jingyan's expression changed when she saw Li Qing's expression. Even the blind man could see that he didn't care what Li Qing was thinking. He was Li Qing's friend and his elder brother. Since the princess was interested in his little brother, how could he get away with Zhao Yue?

Zhao Yue ran into a nail and was angry. He had to keep Li Qing's appearance in mind. He turned around and whispered to Li Jingyan: "Princess, don't pay attention to them, let's go somewhere else."

Li Jingyan did not move. She lowered her eyes and shook her head firmly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I'm in poor health, I'm going home."

"Since the princess is here, let's participate in our poetry meeting together!"

Du Fu appeared at some point, and his clothes were completely renewed. He thought it was really a man who relied on clothes and Buddhas. Although his body was still a little thin, he was full of energy and his smile was filled with joy and confidence. There were seven or eight people following him, Gao Shi and Cen Shen, among them.

Li Jingyan suddenly looked up and stared at Li Qing. Her eyes were full of courage and expectation. All shyness and timidity disappeared at this moment. She asked resolutely and slowly, word by word: "Young Master, do you want me to stay?"

Tears gradually flashed in her eyes, and Li Qing suddenly felt a little moved. The intuition of this emotion, how courage does it take to her who has a special identity? He suddenly remembered the shocking glance at the restaurant in Langzhong many years ago, and the white cloud fairy's skirt was spinning lightly. His memory was once blurred, but at this moment, he clearly returned to his mind.

At this moment, the trace of resentment that Li Qing had just developed towards her was as if the night fog had seen the rising sun, dissipated and slackened. A kind of pride unique to men filled his chest. He smiled slightly and nodded to her.

Li Qing nodded like a strong spring, and immediately drove Li Jingyan's coldness in her face and eyes cleanly. She seemed to be the ice girl who was cast in a fairy tale. Li Qing's smile was to lift the magic spell. From this moment on, Princess Leng of the Tang Dynasty disappeared from then on.

"Princess, you"

Zhao Yue couldn't believe his eyes and ears. He suddenly turned around and stared at Li Qing. If there was another word that could describe his eyes at this time, it would be 'hatred!'

"Who are you? Do you dare to report your name?"

"If I were you, I would not have humiliated myself. He is the dignified state governor and the governor of Doulu Army, what are you!"

Everyone flashed a way out. A man in his sixties came slowly surrounded by a group of people. Although he had never spoken, Li Qing knew him, former left prime minister and political affairs Li Shizhi, and is now named the idle position of the crown prince Shaobao. After Zhang Jiuling's death, he was the leader of the literary world in the Tang Dynasty and enjoyed a high status among literati. He was a special guest invited by Cen Shen. His arrival undoubtedly gave a strong mark tonight's poetry meeting.

He glanced at Zhao Yue coldly, unable to hide the disgust in his eyes. This man was once his most proud disciple. Seeing that he had lost power, he turned to Li Linfu without hesitation. He was really a villain.

"This is not the court, Lord Zhao, you went to the wrong place."

When Zhao Yue saw him, he seemed to be a mouse and a cat. He took a few steps back and stared at Li Qing unwillingly, then turned around and ran away without a trace.

Li Shizhi stepped forward, patted Li Qing on the shoulder kindly, and said sincerely: "If it weren't for Governor Li today, I would be in the cold cell of Dali Temple at this moment, so how could I have the opportunity to come to Qujiang to drink."

Li Qing smiled bitterly and bowed to him, "Young Guardian has been awarded for the award. Li Qing has a long way to go. Please help me in the future."

"You don't need me to support you. As long as you assist the prince well, your future achievements will be far above me."

Li Shizhi suddenly felt that this should not be said here, so he laughed and said to everyone: "It's getting late, let's start! I can't help but the wineworms."

There was no cloud in the sky, and a full moon swam through the green Qujiang Pool, scattering a cold light alone. The ground, water, and trees were dyed with silver white, and the night was very quiet.

In the distance, the laughter of the poets shocked the water birds who were sleeping at night and left homeless. Du Fu's "Looking at the Mountain" was slowly chanting, expressing his passion and lofty ambitions at this moment, arousing a lot of cheers.

Li Qing and Li Jingyan walked side by side along the Qujiang Lake, admiring the night scenery of Qujiang. Behind them, several maids and family followed from afar, loyally fulfilling their duties. Perhaps, at this moment, Li Jingyan was more eager to become the daughter of an ordinary family and not be monitored by her servants. She suddenly frowned and made a gesture to her close maid. The maid understood and immediately pulled the maid and family out of their sight.

As soon as the servant left, Li Jingyan immediately became lively. She tiptoed and jumped on the rock with one foot. Suddenly, she was childlike. She took off her embroidered spring shoes, pulled up her long skirt with one hand, and immersed her white jade-like feet in the shallow water. The sand and stones were fine and soft, and the water was slippery and cool. She slapped the water with her feet and smiled happily: "Young Master, don't you come and try it?"

Li Qing shook his head and smiled and said, "If I go down too, wouldn't we become two slutty boys?"

Seeing that he refused to come down, Li Jingyan reached out and lifted up a string of water splashes, which scattered like pearls, and recalled like a dream: "I have longed to step into Qujiang Pool barefoot since I was a child, but I have never realized it. When I was eight years old, the wet nurse avoided her family and wanted to secretly take me into the water, but was discovered. The wet nurse was beaten up by my grandfather and drove out of the palace. Years have passed in a flash. I thought I would never have a chance in this life, but today I realized this dream. Young Master, I am so happy."

"Your royal family is full of rules. I used to know a woman. There was a small river at her doorstep. She and her sister had to go down the river to play in the water every day."

Li Qing suddenly thought of Yang Huahua. He seemed to have never seen her when he came back, and there was no news about her. Maybe he wanted his son to return to his hometown!

Li Jingyan smiled and said, "I know, you are talking about Yang Huahua, and her sister is Empress Yang!"

Li Qing said angrily: "It's true that three women have a show, so what else do you know?"

Li Jingyan blinked mischievously and laughed like a little girl: "I also knew that the young master wanted to sell a scattered horse, so he started a lottery. As a result, the person who won the lottery claimed the young master. Hum! I also heard from Xiaoyu that the young master had fought with the mad dog."

"Nonsense! When did I fight with the mad dog? These two guys are fine, but they still tamper with it at will and go back to settle the score with them."

After saying that, Li Qing rolled up his sleeves, and his posture seemed to be going back to fight, which made Li Jingyan giggle and bent.

"Forget it, I can't beat them both!"

Li Qing jumped onto a bluestone, picked up a handful of stones, and drifted into the water one by one. Li Jingyan walked towards him carefully with a long skirt. Suddenly, her feet slipped. She was unstable and shouted anxiously: "Young Master! Youth!"

Seeing that she was about to fall, Li Qing hurriedly reached out to her, but he didn't notice that the place under his feet was full of moss. As soon as he slipped, he fell into the water first, and a splash of water splashed, knocking Li Jingyan down.

"Are you okay?"

Li Qing hurriedly helped Li Jingyan up. Wherever her hands touched it, it was almost her body. The two of them seemed to be electrocuted, so scared that they let go of their hands at the same time. When they dragged the water with their long skirt, Li Jingyan lost balance again and fell into his arms and pressed him into the water.

Suddenly, both of them were stunned, as if they were sculptures, motionless. Li Jingyan leaned down on her jade-like face and stared at him in a daze. Li Qing was almost holding her whole body. From her infatuated eyes, from her pure and innocent slightly tilted shoulders and slender and soft arms, from her beautiful, but also a bit lazy, from her sweet and magnetic voice, it seemed like a faint virgin fragrance, which made people feel an undetectable, warm and silent charm, a kind of tenderness that was not revealed, and a little shy, something that was difficult to express in words, but it would make people feel a thrilling heart and arouse a certain feeling, of course! It was definitely not timid.

Li Qing suddenly hugged her shoulders and kissed her cherry lips hard. Li Jingyan turned around and her four lips met. She suddenly felt dizzy and lost in the most wonderful paradise she had entered for the first time in her life.

"Li Lang, you marry me!" Li Jingyan hugged him tightly, his voice trembling with a hint of crying.

Li Jingyan's words seemed to be a stick, and he woke Li Qing up with one stick.

Instead of speaking, he helped Li Jingyan up from the water silently and sat on the bluestone.

"Do you hate me?"

Li Jingyan felt his coldness and grabbed his arm, tears poured out of her beautiful eyes, and finally she burst into tears.

Li Qing sighed, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said for a while: "Xingyan, what if I marry you, what should I do? Can you be a concubine with your identity?"

Tears flashed in Li Jingyan's eyes, and she blurted out: "If I don't want any title, as long as I follow you, will you accept me?"

Li Qing suddenly felt his nose sore and his eyes were a little wet. He gently spread her on his face and wet hair, then took off his coat to cover her, "Stop talking stupidly, you are the princess, how can the princess not have a status to marry?"

Li Jingyan slowly straightened her waist, her eyes were red, and her face reflected the holy glory. She shook her head firmly, "Li Lang, you were wrong. As long as you can follow you, I would rather not be the princess. Not to mention being a concubine, even if I don't have any status, I will be willing!"

"You" Li Qing suddenly said nothing.

At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came not far away, and Li Jingyan's close maid shouted in panic and anxiously. Li Jingyan let go of Li Qing's hand, but then suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck and kissed him heavily, and whispered twice, "Li Lang! Li Lang!"

Then he burst into tears and turned around and ran to the shore, and soon disappeared into the night.
Chapter completed!
