220 Tanabata Festival 6
Concubine Wu Hui, who was sitting next to Li Longji, was happy to see Li You and her son talking and laughing. Li You really planned to make good use of it. Li Linfu is incomparable. When her son becomes the throne, she will escort her. It could only be Li You, not Li Linfu, because Li Linfu is not young anymore, he is old.
At this time, she needs to train another person, and what she values is Li You. Li You already has the ability and is deeply loved by Li Longji. This is also an important reason for her choice of Li You.
And before the banquet, there are activities, that is, the talents of both men and women are compared. After that, the ladies of the palace pray for wisdom to the Vega, and then the banquet will be the night banquet.
Every year, men and women will choose three people as representatives to compete, and the winner will get 100 gold. Money is a trivial matter. Both men and women have gone on for so many years, and the woman has not won much. This is the root cause. For these young men and women every year. The competition is also very important to the emperor. Women have talents. The emperor will let them choose a good match and give them a marriage. This is a reward. Of course, the premise is that they can win, otherwise the truth will go on like this. No objection to blame.
But men are different. As long as they are truly talented, the emperor will appoint official positions. This is also a shortcut. Therefore, it is difficult for women to win this competition. The representatives elected by men are negotiated by the major families. Talented people, and women, many aristocratic families will not let truly talented people play. Those who go up are not the best, otherwise how could they have not won a game in ten years.
The three selected by the man were Yuan Qing, Xue Xianzhi, and Lu Ting, and the three selected by the woman were Du Siyan, Xue Ying'er and Wang Yuqin. These three were arranged by Princess Wan'an.
Seeing that the candidate was selected, Li Longji also let Gao Lishi start. Gao Lishi said: "This time the Qiao Qiao Festival is still the same as before. It is divided into three games. The first game is more than music, and the second is more than poetry. The third round of composing. Your Majesty has set a lottery for this year’s competition. As in previous years, I hope you both can do your best. Now, the first round will be started." New Bayi Chinese website launched https://https://
After listening to Li You, he knew what he should do. The second and third rounds must be his business. He looked at Xiao Qixue who was sitting on the opposite side and nodded while looking at him. He also had to silently nod. Nodded.
After searching the intestines and scraping my stomach, I finally thought of a Su Shi's Water Tuning Song, when will there be a bright moon. He can not only write, but also sing. This is an excellent choice. The only uncertainty is that if the subject is wrong, he can't help Xiao Qixue.
Li You got up, bowed to Concubine Wu Hui and Li Longji, and then left the hall. Seeing Li You left, Princess Xiao Qixue and Princess Xincheng also left the hall by appointment.
In a pavilion outside the hall, Li You wrote the poem with a pencil. Before finishing writing, Xiao Qixue came over.
Seeing Li You finished writing, Xiao Qixue asked: "How can I get a single word? What if the title is wrong?"
"Oh, you really treat me as a god, do you really lose in the first game? Don't you even compose the third game?"
Princess Xincheng said: "General Li, Yuanqing composes the music so well. It is not comparable to us. Lu Ting's poems are not bad, and Xue Xianzhi is incomparable to Siyan and the others. Help is the only thing."
"Princess, this is not because I refused. I just guess the title. This is the one I can make the most suitable word. That's the only thing that can help you. If you need to compose music, I will sing a cappella with you. It’s up to you to see what kind of music you can compose."
Princess Xincheng said: "Then thank you the general."
Li You then sang the poem twice. Princess Xincheng and Xiao Qixue remembered a bit until Li You sang it again, and the two of them wrote it down and went back to the hall. When Li You came back, Du Siyan had already left and Xue Yinger played the pipa.
The six people finished their respective music, and the two court musicians gave points. There was no accident. The women’s team was defeated. This really made Li You a little confused. To him, Xue Ying'er played very well, not much better. Xue Xianzhi, who played last, was poor, but when he thought that they were both named Xue, he asked Li Hao: "His Royal Highness, who is Xue Xianzhi from Xue Ying'er?"
"It's her elder brother, and part of his music was taught by Xue Xianzhi."
Li You nodded, and waited for the start of the second poem. In this one, there was really no accident. The scene was requested, the carrier was not limited, and the poems and songs were all acceptable. This time, Du Siyan won the applause with Su Shi's tune singing head, and also allowed the women's team to narrowly win by one point.
Wei Jiansu, who was sitting next to Du Siyan's father, Du Xiaoyou, smiled and said: "Brother Zhangting has a talented girl. It's a great fortune. I think Lu Huai should be very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, right
Du Xiaoyou shook his head and whispered: "Didn't Huiwei know about it? Why bother to talk about it? Yan'er has been making trouble for so many times."
"My uncle asked Yan'er to marry the Lu family because it was also the Du family. Lu Ting is not bad, and Brother Zhangting doesn't have to worry about Yan'er." Wei Jiansu was also close to Du Xiaoyou and said again.
Du Xiaoyou sighed: "Lu is not bad, but Yan'er is not happy. It is no good for anyone to pull the two together like this. I also persuaded my father to be admonished, but... alas!"
Now that both parties are preparing separately, they will play the poems they just made in a while. This is very difficult. Even if Du Siyan already knows the tone, she finds it difficult, and she is still preparing for it.
"Don't worry, Yan'er, you only need to be proficient, and you are not the first to play. As long as you compose this piece and play it, you will be able to succeed." Xiao Qixue cheered him up.
When Yuanqing came out, Du Siyan was a little more proficient. She was the last one to play. In order to add points, she played and sang.
When will the bright moon come, ask the blue sky about the wine. I don't know what year is the heavenly palace. I want to take the wind to return, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be very cold from the heights. Dancing clear shadow, like in the world.
Transfer to Zhu Pavilion, low Qi household, according to sleepless. There should be no hate, what is long to the other time round. People have sorrows and joys, and the moon is cloudy and clear. This matter is hard to come by in ancient times. Nung, moon and new moon.
After singing, Concubine Wu Hui smiled and said to Li Longji: "It seems that the women's team can finally get the first place this year, but I don't know what your Majesty will do."
The meaning of what she said was obvious. It was Du Siyan who took the top spot. She was married to the Lu family. If Du Siyan asked the emperor to give her the marriage, it would be fun.
"Haha, Ai Concubine, since I have something to say first, I must promise. Besides, Du Siyan does not necessarily have this requirement."
When Li Longji asked loudly whether Du Siyan needed to honor the promise of marriage, Du Siyan said: "Please, your Majesty, give Yan'er to marry Li You." (End of this chapter)
