Li Xiuzhu's arrival at this time did not surprise everyone. After all, Li Liuli and Li Biyao had just arrived, and he was their husband, so it was reasonable for him to come at this time.
Li Xiuzhu bowed to the queen and was about to sit next to Li Liuli.
But before he could get over there, the queen suddenly spoke.
"The prince consort is here, please sit next to Liuli."
“…”
You might as well not speak. Are you trying to take advantage of me? Although he thought so, he could only speak helplessly.
"Yes, mother."
After Li Xiuzhu sat down, Li Liuli leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What did the emperor say?"
Li Xiuzhu smiled and said softly, "Of course it's okay. I'm not afraid to talk about this kind of thing myself, but I'm afraid someone will report and impeach you."
Li Liuli didn't take it seriously at all, and the facts were exactly as she expected.
Li Xiuzhu noticed that several eyes were staring at him, so he turned around and looked at them.
Those who looked at him were all familiar faces and were not surprised. The only one who was a little surprised was Li Chengyu.
Why is this guy staring at me? Is he trying to wrestle me? I don't think I've messed with him recently.
Although Li Xiuzhu was puzzled, he did not waste time on him and nodded to Li Shiqing, Li Shishi, Li Xiuning and Li Lizhi.
The three younger sisters-in-law are as cute as my own children.
Well, I was wrong. Among these three, Li Shishi and Li Lizhi are gentle in nature, while Li Xiuning is very heroic. She dares to try everything and even wants to be a female general.
As for Li Shiqing being my sister-in-law, I don’t know her very well.
At this time, the singing and dancing stopped, and the queen stood up and said, "It's getting late. Young people should stop staying up late. Those who are over 10 years old can continue if they want to stay up late."
But just when Ruan Wenjun was about to ask everyone to disperse, the third prince Li Chengyu suddenly stood up.
"Mother, I have often heard that the Prince Consort is very talented. Today is a festive day and he is here too. Why don't we ask him to compose a poem so that we can have a happy ending?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Wenjun looked at Li Xiuzhu with a questioning look in her eyes.
Seeing the inquiry in Ruan Wenjun's eyes, Li Xiuzhu felt warm in his heart, smiled and said, "I'm a little tired today, why don't we just forget it."
Li Chengyu was stunned. He was ready to find faults, and you just told me to forget it? "Is it possible that the prince consort can't do it? If so, then I won't recognize you as my brother-in-law."
"You are so brave. Apologize to the Prince Consort."
Li Liuli then closed her open mouth, otherwise she would really ask, what are you, I need you to recognize it? Although Li Chengyu was unwilling, he still said: "I'm sorry, brother-in-law, I just said something wrong."
"But even though it was a slip of the tongue, it came from the heart."
"Prince Consort, your knowledge and talent are well known, but we in our family have never heard of it. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"So I dare you to write a poem for me."
Before Li Xiuzhu could speak, Li Liuli couldn't help it.
"Haha, what should I say if my husband does it? You can't just provoke my husband with some random trick, right?"
"you……"
Ruan Wenjun had a headache. She had just spoken to the older brother, and now the younger sister was being ignorant.
It would be fine if it was any other time, but now it's a banquet and there are people here.
Not to mention other children, he had quite a few concubines.
"Liuli, apologize to your third brother for what you said."
Li Liuli pouted when she heard that, and apologized to Li Chengyu sullenly, "I'm sorry, Third Brother, I didn't describe you correctly. Next time I won't use small animals to describe you."
"But the truth is, since Third Brother wants to hear poetry, you have to show some sincerity."
Li Chengyu didn't care about Li Liuli's attitude, but he still listened to what Li Liuli said.
Knowing that if he didn't come up with something today, he would have no way to find fault, Li Chengyu thought for a while and said, "I have a gambling house in the south of the city, which makes a lot of money every day. If this poem can satisfy the sisters and aunts present, then I will give this gambling house to you."
Gambling house? Although he didn't play that game, it was not impossible.
"How could that be? As long as you win the jackpot, the casino will remain the same as it is now, and I won't take a penny of the cash inside."
Only then did Li Xiuzhu nod.
"Since Third Brother is so sincere, I will accept it with reluctance."
??? You'd better say you're taking over the bet. It's not that easy for a bastard to take over my gambling house. Wait for me to find fault.
At this time, Li Liuli came over and said softly, "Husband, why don't you take out the poem you just wrote? I believe this poem will surely win applause from the audience."
Li Xiuzhu shook his head upon hearing this.
“What if someone finds the lantern and regrets it after knowing about it?”
"He dares!"
My goodness, is my wife so arrogant? Looking at the fierce Li Liuli, Li Xiuzhu shamelessly wanted to go home and sleep.
After silently repeating three times, "Let me start with rejecting childish beauty," he finally calmed down.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"What are you two whispering about? Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?"
"What do you mean by whispering? Can't we husband and wife have a little private talk? Can I let you hear me talk about how brave my husband is at night?"
"And what do you mean by husband and wife? Third brother, your eyesight is not good. You should go see the imperial physician as soon as possible."
"My fifth sister is so big and she's right next to you, didn't you see it?"
Hiss, this guy is so sharp-tongued that it’s really hard to resist.
Li Chengyu looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Is it okay?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I got pregnant just after you said that? I did prepare it when the lights were first turned on, but I was afraid you would deny it and regret it, so I let it go."
"I want one stick of incense, I'll give it to you after one stick of incense."
Li Chengyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't care whether Li Xiuzhu had prepared it in advance, and said directly: "What's yours is yours. As long as you can prove it, I will definitely not take it back."
Li Xiuzhu thought about it after hearing this.
"There is indeed someone who can prove it."
"I believe everyone agrees with what the female student Xu Miaojin said."
"In that case, I will read it."
"There is White Jade Palace in the sky, with twelve towers and five cities.
The immortal stroked my head and gave me eternal life.
Mistakenly pursuing worldly pleasures, one becomes confused and at a loss for what to do.
The ninety-six holy kings are just empty names hanging in the clouds.
If you try to learn the strategy of a hegemon, you will achieve glory and honor.
I laugh at myself when I learn sword-fighting, but what is the point of ever achieving anything in writing?
The sword is not able to defeat ten thousand men, but the writing is known throughout the world.
"Child's play is not worth mentioning. I sigh five times and leave the capital."
At this moment, no matter it was the empress, concubines, princes and princesses, except those who were under ten years old, they were all stunned by Li Xiuzhu's poem.
The whole poem has a touch of mythology and personal experience.
Following this poem, everyone seemed to see a self-deprecating young man who was good at martial arts and literature and was unruly and uninhibited.
When they thought about how Li Xiuzhu got the title of Duke of a County, they felt that they understood this man.
At this moment, no matter who they were, they all cheered and were shocked by Li Xiuzhu's talent.
The reason why it didn't show on the surface was because everyone was shocked at first and didn't move. By the time they reacted, no one moved and they were too embarrassed to make it public.
