Qiu Yu stood up and said.

"What's the matter with the third prince?"

"Master Hou is clearly playing tricks!" Zuo Qiuyu said with a rather smug look on his face.

"How do you say that?" Gu Xi's smile remained unchanged.

"Father ordered Hou Ye to use "Hong Ye He" as the title, but Hou Ye not only never mentioned the word "Hong Ye" in the whole article, but the content has nothing to do with Hong Ye!"

"so what?"

"So... so Master Hou is playing tricks!"

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "Why does the poem have red leaves as the title?"

"This... this is because..." Zuoqiu Yu stammered.

At this time, Huang Taoyue suddenly said: "I wonder if I can explain Gu Houye's poems?"

"Okay." Gu Xi bowed.

"This red leaf is the maple leaf, which shines brightly in autumn and entrusts people's infinite grief and sorrow. Moreover, the maple leaf also has a meaning, that is, longing and unfeeling - this is because it often appears together with frost. The poem should be about a woman who misses her husband very much, and after waiting for nothing, she decides to give up her love!"

Gu Xi's face was mixed with joy and sorrow, and Huang Taoyue's words seemed to touch the heartstrings, revealing the feelings he had been troubled in recent days.He admired him even more in his heart, and saluted deeply: "What Master Huang said is very true. He is worthy of being well-read and talented. The younger generation really admires it!"

"Your Majesty has won the prize."

Zuo Qiujie was also very satisfied, and said: "Yiqing's poem is done with profound meaning. Although the whole poem never mentions 'red leaves', it entrusts the feelings of red leaves everywhere. It is a masterpiece."

"Your Majesty appreciates it."

When everyone saw it, they felt that today was the emperor's birthday, and it was a bit out of date for Gu Xi to write such a sad and sad poem, but the emperor didn't care, which shows that he is extremely favored.

And Zuoqiu Yu recognized his ignorance, and his face couldn't hold on for a moment, but he couldn't leave easily, so his face was bluish and white, and it looked really interesting.

After Gu Xi wrote the poem, he continued to drink without saying a word, his expression was sometimes wandering, sometimes focused, and vacillating.Zuoqiu Yan looked at it clearly, so he knew eight or nine points.

After a while, Gu Xi suddenly let out a long laugh: "Ahahahahaha..."

Everyone was terrified, and some ministers were even more angry at Gu Xi's move. This is the emperor's birthday banquet. As a minister, he dared to be so arrogant. He was looking for death.

But Zuo Qiujie smiled and said, "Why is Yiqing laughing?"

Gu Xi laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, he finally calmed down and said, "Today, everyone is singing a cup of water and writing impromptu poems, which made me suddenly feel that the world is vast and the universe is vast. , The noise is different, but they can all be unrestrained, using poems and songs as words to communicate with each other, it really makes me happy!"

Zuoqiu Jie said: "The vastness of the universe, although you can be happy today, but death and life are vain, Qi Pengshang is vain, and people will always be safe in the earth. Then what does Yiqing think is the most important thing in this world?"

When everyone heard that the emperor asked such a question, they all fell silent.

Gu Xi said without hesitation: "You don't need to care about a long-lived emperor like Your Majesty. But for a person like a minister, you must seize the opportunity in this world, and don't let him slip away from your hands like water. I'm afraid It’s too late to regret for the rest of my life!”

Everyone here understands what Gu Xi means, it's nothing more than the word for love, but it's not easy to catch it?

Hearing this, Zuoqiujie suddenly had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a momentary sadness in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and quickly regained the majesty of the emperor. He said in a deep voice: "Yiqing is really a man of temperament—then today must not Let down the beauty of this beautiful day!"

"Your Majesty's words are very true!" Jiang Heng immediately echoed.

"Let's continue!"

The crowd was full of poetic enthusiasm again, and the sky gradually darkened.So Zuoqiu Jie ordered the officials to take a short rest, and then held a full feast of Han and Han. After the meal, it was time to welcome the gifts from the foreign envoys.

Note: Some poems are quoted from "The Tale of Genji", which is hereby noted

4.

The other envoys headed by Bian Guo presented exquisite congratulatory gifts, which can be described as dazzling and everything is available.Finally, I arrived at the envoy of the first wild country—that is, the legendary country with mysterious gifts.

Shouye is the country of the southern barbarians. Although it is already October, the clothes of its envoys are still very ethnic, which makes people feel interesting.I saw him stepping forward respectfully, folded his hands, sat down in a group, and performed a kneeling salute unique to the Shouye Kingdom; "I wish the monarch of your country infinite merit and long life!"

After speaking, he suddenly stood up and retreated, and then suddenly the sound of beating the fou and rattles sounded. Fou and rattles are the most commonly used musical instruments by the Nanman people. The harmony between the two is very dynamic and shocking, and the sense of rhythm is very strong.Everyone seemed to be awakened by this huge sound, and they all straightened up to see what happened.

With a flick of a finger, a bewitching dancer dressed in Shouye costumes slid into the center of the courtyard, amazed everyone, and the silver ornaments on her body swayed like stars in the sky, making it dizzying for the eyes.After seeing the dancer's face clearly, most of the officials present couldn't help swallowing, and there was a burst of cheers in the courtyard, all of them thought that this wild gift was really out of the ordinary.

I saw her figure swaying, but after a while, she danced twistingly to Zuoqiu Jie, doing all the seductive things, with light steps and provocative expression, it can be called a song of a luan and a dance of a phoenix.The vast majority of the ministers present were all breathless and unable to take their eyes off. The dancing posture was really beautiful in the southern country, a light and snakelike dance.

But it was this kind of dance that couldn't move Zuo Qiujie at all. He was lazily leaning on the dragon chair, looking expressionlessly at the Nanman dancer in front of him, who was doing all his best, without any reaction.

And Gu Xi was already laughing in his heart when he first saw this dancer on stage. This gift from the wild country is definitely playing the piano to the cow. Don't they know that the king of Jingguo has not recruited a maid for more than ten years?This harem has long been in a state of depression, and it is simply ignorant to persevere in sending women off.

Seeing that Zuo Qiu Jie didn't seem to respond, the dancer had an idea, moved her lotus steps lightly, and came to Zuo Qiu Yang in an instant.

Seeing her suddenly coming to him, Zuoqiu Yang was very puzzled, but the next second the dancer actually pulled him up and led him to the center of the court, and immediately understood that he was going to cooperate with the dance.

Her actions frightened the people present—it was not good for the dancer to choose anyone, but she chose the fifth prince, but this also shows that her vision is really good.And Gu Xi squeezed a cold sweat in his heart because of this person, and when he squinted his eyes, he saw Zuoqiu Jie's cold side face.

And Zuoqiu Yang was kind-hearted, so naturally he would not refuse, and he also knew a little about the dances of the Southern barbarians, so it shouldn't be a problem to dance, so he also smiled to cooperate.

And when this dancer saw Zuoqiu Yang's shocking talent, she was even more elated, smiling like a flower. It was the first time she had seen such a man, and after taking a closer look, she suddenly glanced at the fifth prince's neck. Wearing a silver chain with a silver dragon tied on it, it is small and cute, and my heart beats even more.

In an instant, the music suddenly became louder, and the whole dance entered the climax stage. The movements of the two became faster and faster, and their bodies joined together more and more like glue.In addition to admiring the dancing posture of the two, the people present were even more amazed at the amazing talent of the fifth prince. It was only the first time that they cooperated so well, it was really a rare talent in a thousand years.

However, Zuo Qiujie's eyes became more and more cold, and the arm of the chair was almost crushed by him.He stared at Zuoqiu Yang and the dancer entangled together like a butterfly fluttering, and the extremely intimate movement. The dancer leaned her head on Zuo Qiuyang's neck seductively, stroking it with snake-like dexterous hands. The skin on Zuoqiu Yang's chest...

Seeing this scene, a distorted smile appeared on Zuoqiu Jie's lips.

This was just seen by Gu Xi, and he knew everything.

The music stopped abruptly, and the actions of the two were frozen for a moment, followed by deafening applause and exclamation.

Zuoqiu Yang made a slight bow and then returned to his seat, but the dancer girl had a look of reluctance, as if she was already emotional.

At this time, the wild envoy came up triumphantly, knelt down and said, "This is the best dancer in our country, Daila. Please accept the honor of the King of Yasukuni!"

Zuoqiujie's smile deepened when he heard the words, and he said slowly: "It's really a good gift, I accept it."

The audience was shocked after hearing this, this is Zuoqiu Jiena's first woman in more than ten years.But Gu Xi knew it well, and subconsciously looked at Zuoqiu Yang—a blank look appeared on his face, as well as that undisguised disappointment.

This pair of father and son is so interesting, Gu Xi thought with a smile, and suddenly thought of his own mind that was drifting in the wind, and felt at a loss.

The first wild envoy immediately laughed from ear to ear, kowtowed a few times and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, Zuoqiujie's next sentence shocked the audience even more: "Let's call her to sleep in the East Pavilion of Mihong Palace tonight. You, Chang Guang, make arrangements."

"Yes, Your Majesty." His confidant was as wide as usual, and he had long understood what Zuoqiu Jie meant.But he did not leave immediately, but stood still, observing everyone's reactions.

Zuoqiu Yang raised his head in astonishment when he heard the words, bit his lips tightly, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, but he couldn't be seen by the people on the dragon chair.

However, his demeanor was fully seen by another person—Zuo Qiuyan, who was sitting next to him, slowly reached out and stroked the jade finger on his thumb, thoughtfully, without saying a word, his eyes flashed sharply— ——It's like seeing the fire with insight, all the tricks and tricks are in his hands.

The first field envoy was already speechless in surprise, but the dancer's expression was unsteady. She was surprised but glanced at Zuoqiu Yang from the corner of her eye—but the latter didn't have any thoughts.
