Chapter 8 Humiliation at the Tang Poetry Festival
the other side.
Deep in the peach blossom forest.
A Tang poetry festival was in full swing.
On the green grass and beside the gurgling stream, there are more than a dozen simple and short tables scattered around, and dozens of literati and noble ladies are sitting around them.
In the field, there were silk and bamboo playing, and the singers sang gracefully and danced gracefully.
Everyone ate dishes and fruit wine, enjoyed singing and dancing, laughed loudly, and poems were recited from time to time...
…
Is this the Tang Dynasty Poetry Society?
Fang Ying opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him curiously.
Little did I know.
The moment he and Princess Yongjia appeared, the lively poetry meeting suddenly stopped and the scene became quiet.
Everyone looked at Fang Ying and Fang Ying in astonishment.
After a while, a burst of laughter broke out.
"Am I right? It's actually Fang Yiai!"
"This big stick can't speak well. What will Shi do when he comes here?"
"Xu met Princess Yongjia on the way. She was polite, but he took her seriously. The princess was helpless, so she brought him here with her."
"Oh? Does this guy also want to write poetry? Can he?"
"Yes! I know how to use a stick, hahaha..."
Amid bursts of ridicule.
A beautiful woman sat among the crowd, her face full of shame and anger.
Princess Gaoyang had a big quarrel with Fang Ying and was upset. King Li Tai of Wei happened to be holding a poetry gathering nearby, so she came to relax.
Unexpectedly, I met Fang Ying again here...
At this moment, all the gentlemen and ladies in the audience were laughing at Fang Ying, which made Gao Yang, his wife, feel very embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Princess Gaoyang? Why is she here too?"
Fang Ying also saw Li Shu and was slightly startled.
Immediately, his attention turned to the other person.
He was a fat man in luxurious clothes, with a wide waist and fat belly, and a lot of fat on his face. He was sitting in the center of the poetry meeting, with a pair of sparkling eyes.
It is none other than the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, King Li Tai of Wei!
"It turns out that my beloved is here... Come on, come on, hurry up and take a seat."
When Li Tai saw that he had won the house, he was stunned for a long time, but as the host, he had to put on a smile and greet him warmly.
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Wei."
Fang Ying smiled and cupped his hands, sitting behind the same table as Princess Yongjia.
At this time, the singing and dancing had stopped, and the talented ladies were drinking fruit wine and glancing at Fang Ying from time to time, with undisguised disdain.
It feels like a pig mixed in among a group of white swans.
"You two, you are late, you will be punished by drinking!"
A man in white gave a cold shout and took the lead in attacking.
He has eyebrows like willow leaves, red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, and full of bookishness, but there is a shadow between his eyebrows and eyes, giving people a sinister feeling.
It was Changsun Chong, the eldest son of Changsun Wuji's family.
"Zijing is right."
Li Tai said with a smile: "Aunt, Yi Ai, you two are late, you should drink as punishment, haha..."
aunt?
Fang Ying glanced at the beautiful young woman next to him.
Only then did she realize that Princess Yongjia was the seventh daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan. She had the same father and mother as Li Shimin. In terms of seniority, she was indeed Li Tai's aunt.
Then shouldn't I also call her aunt?
In the future, when the hibiscus tent is warm and the waves are rolling over the red crepe, Princess Yongjia's green and soft red face will be blown away by the wind. She will caress her slender waist and call her aunt... That scene is exciting just thinking about it...
"snort!"
Changsun Chong snorted coldly, interrupting Fang Ying's beautiful yearning, "Fang Yiai! I and the King of Wei are talking to you, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
Damn it! Changsun Yinren, I want you to look good soon... Fang Ying glanced at him and ignored him.
Then he turned to Li Tai and raised his glass from afar.
"His Royal Highness, King Wei, someone came late and will be punished with three drinks of wine. You are free to do as you wish!"
After saying that, he tilted his neck and drank the wine in the glass.
According to the rules of the wine shop, others should also raise their glasses to show respect.
However, none of the talented ladies in the audience, including the host Li Tai, raised their glasses and instead watched indifferently.
Even Princess Gaoyang sat on the same spot without moving.
