Seeing that everything was ready, Jiang Chen poured himself a glass of wine under the expectant gazes of everyone.

The hot smell immediately stimulated his senses.He saw that no one had recognized the two previous poems from the Song Dynasty, so he became even bolder and hurriedly screened the poems from the Song Dynasty onward in his mind. What he saw when writing at night were bamboos and rocks, and drinking from the lake after the first clear and then the rain. Huijing's Spring River Evening Scene, Yuan Ri, Summer Quatrains, Snowy Plum Blossoms, Inscription on the West Forest Wall, Dark Plum Blossoms, Impressions from Reading Books, Spring Day, and other twenty famous poems that impressed him the most.Singing and chanting under the influence of wine, I recited everything verbatim.

During the whole process, wherever his eyes went, he was surrounded by people who were calm and calm.

This made him even more energetic. He drank and chanted at the same time. Even he himself didn't know how many songs he had memorized.

It seems that the foundation he laid since childhood is really solid.Until his drunken eyes were slightly blurred and his mind was hazy, he could no longer carry it back.

At this time, under the influence of alcohol, his mind had begun to gradually blur.

When he was about to fall to the ground in a drowsy state, someone had already supported him on both sides and put him on a chair.

When he could no longer support his body, he lay down on the table in front of him and rested.

Vaguely, he heard someone say in surprise:

"Prince, 25 poems, he wrote a total of 25 poems."

What followed was waves of excited praise. Although he was a little drunk, his cerebral cortex was still conscious.

I don’t know how long it took, but I just felt that my throat was burning and uncomfortable.He tried hard to open his eyes and saw Ah Fu appearing in front of him.

When Ah Fu saw him waking up, he hurriedly came to him and said:

"Master, you've finally woken up. Let's drink some water first. I don't know how much you drank last night. You overslept this night. It's already afternoon now."

Jiang Chen took the water handed over by Ah Fu and drank it all in three gulps.He looked around and found that it was a strange place, so he asked Afu:

"Afu, where are we?"

Ah Fu smiled and said to him:

"This wine has made you confused. Have you forgotten that you came with the prince yesterday? Of course this is the prince's residence. The prince specially sent someone to pick me up to take care of you. Who would have thought that you would sleep all night long? It’s time.”

As he was talking, the prince opened the door and walked in. Jiang Chen struggled to get out of bed and greeted the prince.

I saw the prince walking a few steps quickly and quickly supported him and said:

"You should sit still and don't get down. Didn't I tell you that when there is no one around, all the red tape should be omitted. I am not an outsider. How about it, are you feeling better now?"

Jiang Chen said to the prince embarrassedly:

"Your Highness, I'm much better now. I drank too much in front of so many people at the banquet yesterday. Did I embarrass you?"

The prince laughed, patted his shoulder and said:

"You are wrong. Not only did you not embarrass me, on the contrary, you also showed me a lot of face. What happened last night was so wonderful. You wrote 25 poems at once, which made everyone present. I was shocked. They all praised you for your natural literary talent. No one in this dynasty can compare with the poems you wrote. The prince of Xiliang's face turned green. Fortunately, you were drunk. Save people. Otherwise, if you ask him to kneel down and worship you in front of so many people, it will be even more difficult to get down. If such an arrogant prince of Xiliang really wants to kneel down, he will not be in harmony with diplomatic etiquette. He They will be even more jealous of us and add fuel to the fire when they return to China. Then the troubled border will be even more uneasy. And that old Master Yu Shinan. After reading the poem you wrote, he was so ashamed that he vomited blood. He announced in public that he would never write poetry again. . He said that after he goes back, he will never step into the Xuanwu Dynasty again in this life."

Jiang Chen said to the prince:

"Why bother, Old Master Yu? In fact, he still has something in his stomach. Just because I can write a few poems, he can't stop seeing me again."

The prince suddenly turned to Jiang Chen and asked:

"Jiang Chen, I'm very curious, how did you learn your poems? You were obviously sick all the time before, so how come you improved so quickly in your poems? And the level of each poem is so high. I will read it carefully when I come back. I love your poems. Every poem is truly a work that has been handed down from generation to generation. This is something that all literati spend their entire lives. It is great to have a piece of poetry that has been handed down from generation to generation. From today on, you really want to impress me. With such a good thousand-mile horse like you, I must train you well."

After Jiang Chen heard what the prince said, he stood up and bowed to the prince;

"Jiang Chen is so lucky to be appreciated by the prince. I will definitely work hard and improve my studies to repay the prince for his knowledge and kindness to me."

The prince helped Jiang Chen up and said:

"I told you when you came here. The Queen also wants to see you. You clean up and I will take you there."

After the prince finished speaking, he ordered his servants to take Jiang Chen to wash up.

Jiang Chen was not prepared at all, but after washing up, the prince thoughtfully prepared a set of clean clothes for him.

The Prince's Mansion happened to be not far from the Queen's Huaqing Palace. After passing through several palaces, we arrived at the Queen's palace.

There was already a palace maid waiting at the door to greet them. After Jiang Chen entered Huaqing Palace, he followed the prince and walked inside.

From a distance, he saw the Queen sitting on it. He came to the Queen, knelt down and paid homage.

When Jiang Chen stood up, the prince introduced to the queen:

"Queen Mother, this is what I told you, Jiang Chen, the heir apparent of Dingyuan Marquis, I brought him here to you today."

As soon as the queen saw Jiang Chen walking in, she smiled all over her face and kept looking at him up and down and said:

"No wonder the prince told me that the prince is different from what I imagined. He is really different. My impression of you is still from when you were young. Later I heard that you were sick and I never saw you again. You. You are now so handsome and talented. I am really happy for your mother. When you have nothing to do in the future, you can follow the prince more often and come to the palace to sit for a while. If you have a chance, you can Bring your mother here too and let us meet. I know he is very sad now and is in the saddest moment. Just tell him what I said and ask him to be open-minded. There is nothing that cannot be overcome in the Flame Mountain. , Justice lies in the heart of the people, and even I believe that one day, sooner or later, General Li will be repaid with his innocence."

Jiang Chen saluted the queen again and said:

"The Queen Mingjian, I also think that one day, I will clear the grievances committed by the general on behalf of the general and give justice to the Li family."

When the queen heard what he said, she sighed and said:

"The traitors are now in power, and the emperor has been blinded by them. General Li has been protecting his family and the country for more than 20 years, and has made extraordinary achievements. It was only in exchange for the peace and prosperity of our country in the Xuanwu Dynasty, and now such a big change suddenly happened, what are those people called What do people who are loyal to their country think about?"

The prince answered and said:

"Although what the Queen Mother said makes sense, the matters above the court are all controlled by Prime Minister Hu Gao. Even Liu Gu, who was sent to guard Xiliang, is Hu Gao's man. The internal and external affairs of the court are all controlled by him. He held him hostage by himself, when will General Li's grievances be repaid?"
