Li Xiaogong put down his chopsticks and said strangely: "I don't have much interaction with Du He. There is no conflict or contact. If he comes to visit, I'm afraid it's what I just said... Everyone says that Du He has a weird personality.
To ordinary people, in my opinion, this is nothing more than that. I am just an ordinary person. He actually has such crooked ideas. I am really disappointed... That's all. Just meet him and explain the matter clearly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He will come to the king later and take him to the hall to wait."
"yes!"
Originally, Li Xiaogong was somewhat impressed by Du He.
But now Du He actually came to visit him at his house in order to become an official in the court.
From this, Li Xiaogong began to look down on Du He.
If it weren't for his friendship with Du Ruhui and the fact that Du He was the consort, he would have beaten him out long ago.
In the lobby of the front yard.
Du He had already drank three cups of tea, but he hadn't seen Li Xiaogong yet.
He thought to himself, everyone said that the Prince of Hejian County had a weird temper, but when he saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation.
Du He didn't have much to do, so he waited patiently. While waiting, he admired the furnishings in the lobby, including the pictures of flowers, birds, fish and insects hanging on the wall.
In the center, there is a picture, but it is particularly eye-catching.
It was a very unusual color landscape painting. There were several green peach trees nearby, with peach blossoms in full bloom. Behind them was a pool, then a waterfall, and after that, there were mountains and mountains in the distance.
Although Du He didn't have much research on painting, he was still a little shocked.
While he was admiring it, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
…
In the backyard.
Li Xiaogong finished his meal and asked, "Is Du He tired of waiting and leaving?"
Half an hour has passed since Du He arrived at the house.
Young people are impatient and may have left long ago.
But the housekeeper said: "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Du did not leave. On the contrary, he waited patiently. Just now someone came to report that Du Prince Consort was admiring the poems and paintings that Prince Consort hung in the lobby."
"Oh? Haha, it seems that he came well prepared. Let's go. I sent him away with him. He was obsessed with beauty at a young age and lost his position as Duke of Hu. Now he is trying his best to join the court.
, Such behavior is a bit disgraceful... Although this guy has some abilities, he can't achieve anything big!" In his words, Li Xiaogong was extremely disparaging about Du He.
The butler kept saying yes.
Li Xiaogong walked through the corridor and came to the lobby in the front yard.
As soon as I entered the door, I was about to speak, but when I raised my head, I was stunned.
He saw Du He standing under the landscape painting in the middle of the lobby, holding a brush in his right hand and writing something.
Li Xiaogong was furious.
This painting was obtained from Mr. Han, a famous painter in the Sui Dynasty. It can be called a priceless treasure.
Normally, even when servants are cleaning, they are not allowed to come near. Li Xiaogong does the cleaning himself.
Unexpectedly, Du He was actually holding a brush and scribbling on it.
So unqualified!
"Du He, what are you doing?" Li Xiaogong yelled and rushed in to stop Du He.
Seeing that Du He had written three lines, his heart was bleeding.
Unfortunately, he came late.
As soon as he rushed behind Du He, Du He was just writing.
Li Xiaogong angrily grabbed the brush, threw it to the ground and stomped on it: "Du He... good boy, you dare to destroy even the paintings collected by me, you are so brave."
Du He scratched his head and chuckled: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness the King of Hejian. I'm really sorry. I just saw this painting and was fascinated by it. On a whim, I wrote a poem and presented it to His Highness. You don't have to thank me!"
You're welcome?
Give it to me as a gift?
Li Xiaogong was so angry that his nose became crooked.
"Strong words, simply irrational... Don't even look at it, what nonsense you wrote... The mountains look colorful from a distance..."
Um?
This first sentence made Li Xiaogong stunned.
It's kind of interesting...
"The water is silent when you are close!"
The second sentence is a bit bland, but when compared with the first sentence, it is extremely neat.
Li Xiaogong is also a lover of literature, especially poetry. He was a little surprised when he read these two sentences.
"Spring has gone and the flowers are still there!"
"A person doesn't scare a bird when he comes... Well, a bird doesn't scare when a person comes! Hahaha..."
Li Xiaogong suddenly laughed loudly.
He already felt that this poem could become an eternal song.
"Does this poem have a name?" Li Xiaogong asked.
Du He smiled and said: "The name is also simple, Hua."
"Painting, painting, what a good name, hahaha... I used to hear people mention that you, Du Henai, are the number one poet in the Tang Dynasty. I still don't believe it, but when I see you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!"
Li Xiaogong looked at Du He's calligraphy again. It was free and elegant, free and easy, self-contained, and actually integrated with the painting.
Suddenly, he was in a good mood.
Deep down in his heart, he no longer despised Du He.
Regardless of whether Du He was addicted to women or not, in Li Xiaogong's opinion, someone who could write such a poem was definitely not ordinary.
He also had a lot of literati and flirtatious people in his house, but compared to Du He, they were not sexy enough, they were still far behind.
In an instant, Li Xiaogong became interested in talents: "Du He, I know your situation... It's a pity that the edict was issued by the Supreme Emperor. Even His Majesty can't do anything about it, so you don't have to
It's such a pity. Why don't you come to my palace? I can't give you a high official or a generous salary, but I have also raised a group of like-minded literati. If there is a chance in the future, I will intercede for you in front of Your Majesty. You see
how?"
Even though Du He is the consort now, he has no title and no chance to serve as an official in the court. To be able to be a retainer in the Hejian Prince's Mansion and to be appreciated by the Prince of Hejian is something that anyone else would have dreamed of a long time ago, and they might even be moved.
He lay on the ground and licked Li Xiaogong's boots clean.
But Du He just smiled faintly: "Du He appreciates the prince's kindness. However, today I came to visit, not to seek refuge with the prince, but to have a treasure that I want to give to the prince."
Send baby?
Li Xiaogong said seriously: "I heard that you, Du He, are an iron rooster and never pluck a hair. You actually have something to give to me?"
Du He had a black line on his head: "Your Majesty, you must have misunderstood me. You don't know something. I, Du He, am good at charity and a well-known good person in Hu County. How could I be an iron rooster? I am that dandelion.
You lose yourself, but you light up the world... Prince, please look, this is the treasure I want to give you."
Du He picked up a box from behind and opened it with a snap.
The entire lobby suddenly overflowed with time.
The box made of purple wood was covered with fine silk, and in the middle lay a glass cup, the size of a fist, completely transparent, and looking radiant.
Li Xiaogong was startled, and even his breathing became cautious.
Glass cup!
This is a rare treasure!
Colored glaze is common, but large pieces of colored glaze are not. Cups made of colored glaze are rare. However, Li Xiaogong has never seen such pure colored glaze and such exquisite colored glaze cups in his long life!
