Qingluo Jinghe

Chapter 68
Emperor Li Jing held a banquet in the palace. During the banquet, literati competed with each other and displayed their literary talents. It was very lively.

However, most of the participants were young people from civil servants' families, and the older ones seldom participated in it.

Li Jing didn't like to hear about these family matters - this family hoped to betroth their daughter to Li Chong, and that family hoped that their son could marry their precious daughter back home.

"Your Majesty, my daughter..."

"Your Majesty, Caomin..."

Li Jing just felt disturbed when he saw the piano performance and the sword dance. He turned his head to look at the young men who were fighting poems. Mingming boasted a lot.

At this time, Meng Mingji, who sat on the side and said nothing, was more pleasing to the eye...

Seeing the emperor's eyes staring at her nephew, Meng Qing couldn't sit still, fearing that Meng Mingji might cause some trouble again, she was busy trying to divert Li Jing's attention with a topic.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that during the Lantern Festival, all the descendants drink wine to make gifts, so it may not be possible to get a unified question."

As Meng Qing spoke, he bowed to Li Jing, "Your majesty, please come up with a question and ask all the students to compose poems on the spot. Your Majesty personally judges the first three names, which is also an encouragement."

His Majesty, who was named, had to look away from the interesting young man, "Meng Qing's words are right, so... I will add a lottery, and the first three will accept one request."

"As for this question, since Meng Qing raised it, let Meng Qing come up with it." Li Jing is not stupid, this Lantern Festival, what's wrong with the juniors?He responded well on the surface, but he might not know how to complain behind his back.

Seeing the emperor looking away from her nephew, Meng Qing was relieved, and sat down in a daze, but she didn't hear what Li Jing said at the end.

"Teacher, Your Majesty just asked you to start a question." There were no family members in the Meng residence, so Meng Qing naturally brought Zheng Zhicen here as well.

Meng Qing had originally wanted Zheng Zhicen to have fun with the juniors, but Zheng Zhicen wanted to serve by Meng Qing's side, and it really came in handy at this time.

"Your Majesty, I am old, and the questions I asked may not be in line with the meaning of the juniors. Can you..."

Meng Qing had just said half of what he said, and Li Jing knew that it was Meng Qing who had worked his way through official circles like Meng Qing, and he didn't want to offend people in such matters, so he said such words.

During the Lantern Festival, Meng Qing had nothing to do, and when the emperor's temperament came up, he planned to add Duan back, so he said, "I see that Zheng Qing has been serving Meng Qing by his side since the banquet, why don't Zheng Qing start the topic for Meng Zhongcheng?"

After Li Jing said that, Zheng Zhicen didn't dare to say no, so he hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I'm so clumsy, I dare not make mistakes..." Sensing the look in Li Jing's eyes, Zheng Zhicen didn't dare to find any more excuses, and hurriedly said, "I think that it's the Lantern Festival, so why don't you just use it?" This festive season is a question."

All the sons and daughters of the family have already prepared related poems at home. Now that Zheng Zhicen has chosen this question, no one will be offended.

"That's very good." Li Jing secretly said, the apprentice taught by Meng Qing, I don't know how much he can learn from Meng Qing in governing the country, but he learned a lot from Meng Qing's tact!

"Prepare pen and ink."

Li Jing gave the order, and the children of the family were naturally quite enthusiastic.

Put away the pen and paper in the time of a cup of tea, except for Qingluo and Qingye who were sitting in the banquet, even Meng Mingji also composed a Wujue under the gaze of his uncle, and inherited it.

When young talents write poems, Li Lan and Li Chong should also participate in it.While Li Jing was flipping through the poems and essays that were presented, he had a headache and thought that when he asked the two of them to compose poems later, Li Chong should not be willful and go for it.

"The palace wall is not locked in spring, and the busy city continues with nebula. It is expected to be a place of smoke and dust, with red silk war horse wheels."

The first one gave Li Jing a headache after reading it. There is nothing wrong with this poem, but after all, it looks like a young scholar who has never seen the hardships of war on the battlefield and talks about frontier fortresses!

　There should be a large poem in the next chapter.
