When Zhuge Jin saw Liu Qi's hesitation, he thought that he had difficulty improvising and was afraid of offending Lu Su, which would inevitably make both parties lose face.
He smiled and said, "General, your previous masterpiece is really unique. If you have any experience, it would be okay to share a few."
Liu Qi said, "Since you are so interested, I have no choice but to show my ugliness. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me."
Lu Su stroked his beard and said, "Composing poetry impromptu is the way to show your talent as a general."
Liu Qi coughed lightly, thought for a moment, and then chanted slowly: "
The white horse goes to Nanyang, and the jade sword determines the north of the Yangtze River.
Xiaolai wants to serve his country, not to be granted a title of nobility.
He marched straight into the Xiongnu and looked left to attack the Xianbei.
My hometown thousands of miles away is a dream, and the moon at the border makes me sad.
Sacrifice your life for your country and treat death as returning home!
We must eliminate the treacherous and corrupt officials as soon as possible, so that the Han Dynasty can continue for thousands of years."
"Good poem, good poem!"
Zhuge Jin was the first to applaud. He was worried that Liu Qi would make a fool of himself, so he listened attentively, ready to rescue him at any time.
Unexpectedly, each sentence of Liu Qi's was more brilliant than the last, especially the last few, which were so shocking that I felt relieved and praised him sincerely.
Five-character poems began to become popular in this era, and there was no concept of prosody or rhyme. Basically, everyone would accept anything that looked like poetry.
In fact, poetry written in this natural state expresses true feelings more sincerely, and the key lies in the choice of words and the level of intention.
Liu Qi's poem is mainly based on Cen Shen's poems, with two famous quotes from Cao Zhi added, from the battle of Nanyang to his lofty ambitions, which best fits his current situation.
Zhuge Liang and others also nodded frequently, and Liu Biao's face was flushed. He stroked his beard and looked around the audience, his pride beyond words.
The good man revived the Han Dynasty and wiped out the Hu people, not for fame or fortune. The young man's high spirits are vividly portrayed on the paper.
Lu Su said with emotion: "People say Cao Zijian is a man of quick wit and intelligence. In my opinion, the general is far superior to him."
"Thank you for your compliment, sir!" Liu Qi gave a dry laugh and quickly toasted.
Cao Zhi is a representative of great talent and the pioneer of five-character poetry. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he was revered as a model of writing. In history, only Li Bai, Su Shi and three others were called "immortal talents."
As a pirate and plagiarist, I dare not compare myself with him, but now we are in the same era, I cannot praise Cao Cao's son too much, so I have to get away with it quickly.
While Lu Su admired him, he was also deeply worried about Eastern Wu. Liu Qi was like the rising sun, shining brightly and unstoppable. Moreover, he was a noble of the Han Dynasty and might pose a greater threat to Eastern Wu than Cao Cao in the future.
After the social event, it was already late at night and the guests left one after another. Liu Qi finally returned to the bridal chamber.
Xi Xuan had already taken off her makeup and was sitting quietly in front of the window, staring at the bronze mirror.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he stood up and welcomed Liu Qi in, sighing faintly: "Mrs. Fan and Du Ling'er are indeed the most beautiful women in the world. It's true that heroes can't resist beautiful women."
Liu Qi was startled: "Have you met?"
Xi Xuan nodded and said, "The backyard was deserted just now, and they were afraid that no one would take care of me, so they came to keep me company and talk."
Liu Qi smiled and said, "That's good too. If everyone can live in harmony in the future, I can travel with peace of mind. A harmonious family brings prosperity!"
Xi Xuan looked directly at Liu Qi: "Is Mrs. Fan... very capable?"
"Ahem, what do you mean?" Liu Qi glanced at the maid next to her and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that these women were talking about this as soon as they met
"Of course it's the Zhao family's assets!" Xi Xuan said, "I've come across a few of them before, but I thought they were just rare treasures. Now I know there are better things than the best."
"So it's because of this!" Liu Qi spat at himself secretly. Facing such a pure woman, how could he have such dirty thoughts
"If all those properties were put together, they would be as rich as a country."
At this moment, Xi Xuan was like a ferocious beast, encountering an equally powerful enemy, and her expression was serious.
This is a proud and confident woman. In the past, she always thought that although Madam Feng had some fame, it was only because of the Zhao family. Now she knows that she is the one who benefited from it.
"On the wedding night, let's not talk about this. It's time to consummate the marriage!" For some reason, Liu Qi was a little nervous today and told the maid, "You should go to bed early too!"
"General..." The maid's face changed drastically, and she stepped forward to get close to Xi Xuan, "I came here specially to serve you."
She was a maid who came with the dowry. If she was driven away by Liu Qi, she would probably have no place to stand in the mansion in the future.
Liu Qi naturally understood the rules. Although he had experience of sleeping in the same bed with his new wife, he still wanted to enjoy his world alone with his new wife. How could he do that with a stranger around
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I don't need any help. We'll talk about it later!"
Xi Xuan held the maid's hand and said, "Mother said that the first time... we have sex, Xiaolan must accompany us. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Liu Qi took Xi Xuan's smooth little hand and said, "Your husband is a great driver, how can I bear to let you suffer?"
Xi Xuan asked in surprise: "Are we going to the carriage?"
Liu Qi did not explain much. He signaled the maid to leave, closed the door and turned around. Xi Xuan had already been sitting shyly at the head of the bed, lowering her head and not daring to look him in the face.
After waiting for a long while, Liu Qi did not make any move. She looked up and saw that he was still standing, looking at her with a smile. She could not help but touch her cheek and frowned slightly: "Husband, is there something wrong?"
Liu Qi sighed happily and asked, "Madam, do you know that there are four great joys in life?"
Xi Xuan shook her head slightly. Under the candlelight, although she was not as bright and dazzling as when she was dressed up, she was still more graceful and charming.
Whether it was due to psychological factors or Xi Xuan's own temperament, Liu Qi felt that this legally married wife was not comparable to Du Ling'er and Mrs. Fan.
If the possession of these two people satisfies the desire to conquer when coming to this world, then the union with Xixuan is the sense of belonging in this world.
Stepping forward lightly, he slowly said, "After a long drought, the rain comes. When you meet an old friend in a foreign land, it's time to return home in glory."
Xi Xuan listened to every word and nodded slightly: "That makes sense!"
Liu Qi embraced the bride in his arms. This was his first woman in the true sense, his newlywed wife. His heart was filled with happiness, and his whole state of mind also underwent subtle changes.
After a moment of tenderness, Xi Xuan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of spring waves: "Husband, please don't waste this good night!"
Liu Qi scratched her nose: "You are the first one to get anxious?"
"Hmm!" Xi Xuan swayed her waist shyly, her voice becoming softer and softer: "I know that my husband already has someone to serve him, so I also learned some things in advance."
"Learn?" Liu Qi grabbed her shoulders and asked in a deep voice, "Who did you learn from?"
"How can I tell others about this?" Xi Xuan's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and said, "I just asked someone to buy a set of Su Nu paintings."
"So that's how it is!" Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Xi Xuan was such a competitive person that she wasn't willing to lag behind even in this aspect.
"Since Madam also has experience, it's a good opportunity for us to learn from each other!"
Looking at a beauty under the lamp is the most thrilling thing. Liu Qi could no longer restrain himself. He bent down, picked her up and put her into the red silk tent.
Xi Xuan's head was almost buried in her chest, and she said hurriedly: "Blow out the lamp, blow out the lamp quickly..."
"It will be fun if we turn on the lights!" Liu Qi smiled, took off his coat and jumped onto the bed.
