Chapter 669: Changsun Wuji: Go and pray for the prince!
Ah, murderous!
Lingering among women——
Ahem, Wang Zi'an, who was being annoyed by the enthusiastic and studious women of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly felt something. He raised his head suddenly, looked through the Yingying Yanyan beside him, and saw the dark-faced Li Shimin and Empress Changsun at a glance.
And the little Sizi who was looking at him excitedly and waving his hands desperately at him.
Mother-in-law is here!
He quickly shrank back and calmly distanced himself from the woman surrounding him.
"Ladies, I'm sorry. I'll excuse you for a moment. A friend is looking for me. I apologize..."
As he spoke, he stood up.
The women around them couldn't help but have a look of regret in their eyes, especially those who were shy and had been standing on the outside, hesitating whether to squeeze in or say a word to the idol in their hearts.
Regretful, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
At this time, Wang Zi'an couldn't care less about their petty thoughts and had already greeted Li Shimin's family of three like a spring breeze.
But I was crying secretly in my heart.
I miscalculated, I didn’t expect my mother-in-law to come!
Brother Li, you misunderstood me——
Wang Zi'an groaned inwardly and glanced at Li Yuan, who had thrown himself to these women.
As a result, when the old guy saw him looking over, not only did he not look ashamed, but he also secretly winked at him!
Wang Zi’an:……
"Mother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are becoming more and more plump, young and beautiful. If you follow Lao Li, you may not know it, but you may think that you are a father and daughter, three generations of grandparents..."
Li Shimin:......
Empress Changsun originally wanted to keep a straight face and reprimand this philandering son-in-law for her daughter, but after hearing these words, most of the anger she had finally built up disappeared.
He could only laugh and curse angrily.
"You kid, you're so talkative -"
Although he said this, he couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, and he almost forgot his prepared lines.
However, fortunately, I had gone through a scene, so I couldn't help but give him a tactful reminder.
"I just saw you chatting so happily with those Yingying Yanyan over there, I don't know what you were talking about -"
Sure enough, it came!
Wang Zi'an felt a tremble in his heart, immediately cheered up, and said with a serious face.
"Of course it's an exchange of moral articles——"
Having said this, I couldn't help but sigh.
"No wonder we have so many talented people in the Tang Dynasty. The academic style is so strong. Even these women in the boudoir are so diligent and thirsty for knowledge. This is all the result of the imperial court's enlightenment..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he subconsciously puffed up his chest and showed an unconcealable smile in the corners of his eyes.
Recruiting scholars through the imperial examination, establishing education, and networking talents from all over the world are one of the policies he has been promoting in recent years, and he feels quite satisfied with it.
However, as soon as the corners of his mouth raised, he immediately realized something was wrong, coughed dryly, and darkened his face again.
You have to pay attention to your identity!
Now that I am the father-in-law who stands up for my daughter, I cannot fall for some dog’s sugar-coated bullets!
But he finally managed to build up some momentum, and his tone became three points weaker without realizing it.
"Ahem, even so, you have to pay attention to the impact. After all, you are the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and you will be messing around in rouge and pink all day long. Even if your mother-in-law and I don't care, it will spread to the ears of His Majesty and the Queen. It’s not quite appropriate after all…”
Wang Zi’an:……
"Okay, okay - actually, I didn't want to go at first, but the Emperor asked me to go. As a minister, what can I do..."
Li Shimin:......
Queen Changsun:......
At this time, he consciously raised his head and looked into the distance.
Then he saw the old god Zheng leaning on the tree stump, looking at Li Yuan with sideways eyes.
He suddenly became excited and no longer cared about dealing with Wang Zi'an, and hurriedly led Empress Changsun and Xiao Sizi over.
"I've seen the Emperor——"
Queen Changsun also followed suit and bowed obediently, but it was Xiao Sizi who threw herself directly into Li Yuan's arms.
"grandfather--"
Li Yuan immediately beamed, without even looking at Li Shimin, he picked up the little Sizi with a smile, turned it around in a circle, put the little Sizi down, and then he held the old waist and pointed at himself while slightly out of breath. The daughter-in-law nodded slightly.
"Get up, no need to be polite -"
Immediately, he lowered his head to tease his little granddaughter.
As for Li Shimin's unlucky child, he just ignored it.
Li Shimin:......
Get used to it.
Li Shimin turned around and greeted everyone enthusiastically, as if he was not the one who was ignored just now. Empress Changsun also consciously ignored this scene and went aside to make tea for several old men. Become your own obedient daughter-in-law.
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant.
His Majesty is embarrassed, so as a minister, he naturally has to take the initiative to take on the responsibility of warming up the scene.
Natural, round and without any trace.
However, Kong Yingda and others hadn't thought about it yet. Instead, it was Xiao Sizi who was clinging to Li Yuan who stirred up the atmosphere with just one word.
"Grandpa, what did you and these grandpas write during today's poetry meeting? Can Si Zi also read it?"
"Ahem, grandpa, I just came here and haven't had time to write yet - but your brother Zi'an did write a song, and we looked at it very beautifully..."
Li Yuan smiled and rubbed Xiao Sizi's little head.
This child is worthy of being my granddaughter, Li Yuan. She is very smart and sensible!
"Brother Wen Ji, you don't have to hide it anymore. Come and bring the poem Zian just wrote and show it to our little talented girl..."
Li Gang:......
He originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and mute, but Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, looked directly at him. All his old friends also looked at him eagerly. Even the little Sizi beside Li Yuan blinked. Cute big eyes, looking at him.
"Grandpa Li——"
The voice is crisp and charming.
The old face suddenly couldn't stand it anymore.
He coughed dryly and fumbled out the poem manuscript that he had carefully stuffed into his arms.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Upon seeing this, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came over curiously, wanting to know what masterpieces their son-in-law, who was known as the most talented man in the Tang Dynasty, had written.
Before the person walked up to it, he just glanced at the paper from a distance, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Good words!
What a poem!
Reflecting each other and complementing each other——
"The jasper is as high as a tree, with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don't know who cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.
"Zi'an is indeed the most talented man in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who writes poems will surely become a classic. Once this poem is published, I am afraid that scholars all over the world will no longer dare to use willow trees as topics..."
Empress Changsun couldn't help showing her face.
"Now in Chang'an City, there are finally new words that can be sung..."
As soon as these words came out, several old men immediately smiled and nodded.
"Zi'an, we old guys live by your poems and articles. You can't hide your clumsiness like this in the future..."
It has almost become a phenomenon. As soon as Wang Zi'an's poems are published, they will immediately spread throughout Chang'an, and they will be crazily sought after by high-ranking officials, scholars, and even Chang'an singers. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the most famous in Luoyang.
This would be enough for any person to be proud of, but this kid, Zi'an, didn't care about it at all. Not to mention taking the initiative to write, he didn't even bother to read it on weekdays. It really made people angry and admired at the same time.
This kind of mental cultivation may not be possible even for an eighty-year-old man, let alone a young man.
With Wang Zi'an's poetry breaking the situation, the awkward scene suddenly became heated.
Especially Xiao Sizi, when he heard that his brother Zian's musical achievements were astonishing, he immediately pulled Zian to listen. Naturally, Zian would not refuse the little girl's request. He walked to sit next to the pipa that Lu Youping left behind in a very nice manner.
Down.
clank clank——
Like the gentle breeze and drizzle, like the chirping of orioles among the flowers, like the beads rolling on the jade plate, the soft and soothing sound of pipa gradually moistened the entire peony garden. Everyone could not help but hold their breath subconsciously, for fear of disturbing the people who were sitting there in a lazy and casual manner.
Prince Ann.
Kong Ling'er was even more dazzled, looking at the young Master Zhuo Shijia sitting cross-legged in the sun with a smile on his face. He could no longer tolerate anyone in his eyes.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun couldn't help but look at each other, with a trace of unconcealable amazement in their eyes.
This son-in-law is like an endless treasure. Every time you think you know him well, you find that you don't know him well enough.
I really don’t know what else he can’t do!
Fortunately, Wang Zi'an didn't know what they were thinking. Otherwise, he would have told them sincerely. I don't know what else I would order!
…
The Duke's Mansion of Qi.
Changsun Wuji rubbed his eyebrows feebly and looked at Changsun Shunde, who was sitting in the guest seat.
"Tell me the truth, was the money borrowed from the clan last time used to buy spices..."
Changsun Shunde was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a random smile.
"So you know, don't worry, just wait for the good news from me this time - to be honest, I am cooperating with the Cui family this time, and I am sure to make a lot of money..."
Changsun Shunde had many things to do and had no special channels in the spice market. Obviously, he had not received the news that he had been attacked. At this time, he was still immersed in the dream of getting rich.
Seeing that his clan uncle still had no consciousness at all, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but helplessly put his hand on his forehead.
"you really--"
If this was not a clan uncle, Changsun Wuji would have wanted to slap him in the face and call him a fool.
After enduring it again and again, I finally managed to endure the evil fire in my heart.
"Our eldest grandson's family has never set foot in the spice market. You actually invested so much in one fell swoop. Did you know..."
"Haha, don't worry, nephew, the business is very big this time. Not only the Cui family, but also many dignitaries in Chang'an City have invested in it. It is absolutely foolproof - don't you think that the younger generation of the Cui family still dares to deceive me?"
Speaking of this, Changsun Shunde seemed to feel the same and couldn't help laughing again.
Changsun Wuji:......
Changsun Shunde smiled and stopped laughing, because he felt that there was something wrong with the face of Changsun Wuji opposite him.
"Wuji, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"What's wrong? It's so wrong. You're in big trouble this time!"
No need to think about it, he borrowed 90,000 yuan from his family, and his own net worth must have been more than half of it. If he couldn't survive this time, he would be bankrupt!
Changsun Shunde's face became paler and paler, and finally the sweat on his face came down.
He rushed forward and grabbed Changsun Wuji's sleeve.
"Wuji save me, Wuji save me. This time Uncle Yu has put all his wealth and life on the line. If we really lose, I, I..."
The eldest grandson, Shunde, could not help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.
"The Cui family's child mistakenly missed me. The Cui family's child mistakenly missed me——"
