Chapter 151: The Master Protects His Wife
Ye Hanting's eyes turned cold in an instant, and he suddenly said, "How is it vulgar? This Taifu thinks that the prince's couplet embodies the three realms of seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, and seeing a mountain as a mountain again. The couplet is fair, and the Zen and poetic meanings are excellent. It can be said to be an absolute for all ages!"
Everyone in the hall looked at Ye Hanting, and the air suddenly became cold.
Ye Hanting's oppressive voice echoed in everyone's ears, making people's breathing become tense.
Chu Yue's ears turned red when Ye Hanting scolded her in public.
Ye Hanting stopped pretending now and started to publicly defend Chu Li.
Lao Liu narrowed his eyes, and immediately turned his lips up, wow, the Grand Tutor is so domineering in protecting his wife, no, he is so domineering in protecting his brother.
This man is so handsome!
Yun Wanying couldn't even force out the slightest smile at the corners of her lips.
She and the prince were in opposition, but Brother Han Ting openly defended the prince, totally disregarding the friendship between them as they grew up together.
Pei Ye's eyes fell on Ye Hanting, and he complained in his heart: If Ye Hanting's relationship with Chu Li is just a pure teacher-student friendship, it is understandable that he speaks for Chu Li.
But somehow he could taste a hint of love between a man and a woman in it.
Are you so unreasonable to protect your own shortcomings?
Ye Hanting really likes Chu Li.
Haha, very good. He was afraid that Ye Hanting had no weaknesses. What if one day Ye Hanting dealt with him because of Chu Li?
He just pinched Ye Hanting's vital point, so he could use all his strength.
Emperor Qingyuan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he pretended to reprimand: "Yuer's words were indeed a bit harsh. I also think that the prince's couplet just now is very Zen, and it is a rare good couplet."
Chu Yue smiled humbly, "Father, the Crown Prince is the future heir to the throne, and my requirements are indeed a bit high. So let's not compete in couplets, but in poetry, shall we?"
She believed that Yun Wanying was not just a name. She heard that she was very good at writing poetry, so she should let her show her strengths.
Ye Hanting's words kept echoing in Yun Wanying's ears, and she was unwilling to lose to the prince like this.
Next, she will really start to show her strength.
Ye Hanting lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. He also realized that he could not bear to hear anyone slandering Chu Li. Chu Li's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness would directly affect him.
He recalled what Chu Li said yesterday.
Chu Li was indeed too tired and she needed a good rest.
After the morning court today, she will be able to fulfill her wish.
Chu Li withdrew her gaze from Ye Hanting. She felt that it was a wise choice for her to hold on to Ye Hanting's thighs since she came here.
At critical moments, Ye Hanting always supports her.
Chu Li is not a heartless person. At that moment, she regarded Ye Hanting not only as a teacher, but also as a friend.
Yun Wanying's gentle voice came, "Your Highness, for the sake of fairness, how about we each come up with a question and write a poem?"
Chu Li raised his hand, "Miss Yun, please."
Yun Wanying looked at everyone confidently, "Then let's use spring as the theme."
Her gentle voice spread to every corner of the hall, "Spring comes to the shallow grass bank, a new one blooms in the night breeze, the quiet forest startles the mountain birds, the moon sets and the flowers cast sparse shadows."
Everyone praised.
"Yun Wanying is really as her name suggests, and the poetic conception is very beautiful."
"It is said that Miss Yun always composes poems spontaneously. Today I see that she is indeed good!"
"After all, she is the most talented woman in Jiangnan. Not bad, not bad."
Yun Wanying curled the corners of her lips. No matter what the topic was, she could compose a poem quickly.
I wonder if the prince can do it?
Chu Li looked out the window and recited slowly, "The rain on the streets is as soft as butter, the grass looks green from a distance but not near. Spring is the best season of the year, far better than the willows and mist in the imperial capital."
After she finished reciting a poem, the whole hall became unusually quiet.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, but there was no grass when they looked far away!
Someone sighed: "What a quatrain! It is vivid, accurate in description, and expresses emotion through scenery. What a good poem!"
"Early spring is the beginning of spring. The grass turns from yellow to green, and it is full of vitality. Only spring can evoke so much hope in people's hearts. Your Highness, what a great poem!"
The ministers thought that the prince's poem expressed hope, but after listening to the poem, Emperor Qingyuan felt that it was Chu Li's praise for him.
Tianjie Xiaoyu means that he, the prince charming, seems to be in heaven.
And the phrase "the imperial capital is filled with willows and smoke" is praising his grace which is like spring rain that spreads across the entire imperial capital.
He smiled with satisfaction. What a great prince! He had hidden him for so many years!
It turns out he is so good at writing poetry!
Ye Hanting and Mu Feng had both heard Chu Li's poems before, and they understood that Chu Li might write even more shocking poems in the future.
Yun Wanying saw everyone's reactions, and then compared the artistic conception of her own poem with that of the prince. She felt that her poem was not as good as the prince's.
She was a little unconvinced, and her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.
This poem must have been written by the prince on a daily basis.
She didn't believe that Chu Li could write such an artistic poem next time.
Lao Liu raised his eyebrows at Chu Li. He felt that Brother Li still gave Yun Wanying some face.
Brother Li, don’t give her face, just go ahead!
Look at Yun Wanying's arrogant look, it is obvious that he doesn't take Brother Li seriously.
If it were not for the fact that he basically had no complete poems to recite, he would have thrown a Du Fu at him first, then a Li Bai at him, and then pressed Yun Wanying to the ground and rubbed him madly!
Chu Li did save face for Yun Wanying. After all, she was a woman, and if she embarrassed her in front of so many people, Yun Wanying would certainly not be able to save face.
But Yun Wanying didn't know that Chu Li was already very gentle. She looked at Chu Li proudly and said, "Prince, please ask the question."
Chu Li said very gentlemanly: "Girl, please ask the question. I can't think of it right now."
As long as Yun Wanying asked the questions, no one would gossip and say that Chu Li bullied a girl.
Yun Wanying thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your modesty, Your Highness. I'll let's talk about ambitions."
Chu Li nodded, "Please."
Yun Wanying thought that she was so focused on showing the beauty of the poem that she forgot to express the emotion through the scenery, which allowed the prince to gain the upper hand.
She smiled slightly, and her voice was like the breeze that reached everyone's ears.
"When you are young, you should start from scratch and never lose your ambition. Don't let the sunset come late. Live up to your youth and live up to your friends."
The ministers praised: "Well, Miss Yun Wanying is very good for a woman to have such talent."
"Yes, this poem expresses emotion through scenery, and it inspires young people!"
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Fifth brother, it's your turn now. If you can't do it, ask Miss Yun to change to a simpler one."
Chu Li didn't even give Chu Yue a look and just let her bark.
She looked at Yun Wanying and smiled slightly. Yun Wanying was indeed quite capable and could speak fluently.
However, it is impossible to compose poetry in person.
After all, there are so many famous quotes from ancient times that you can get for free, so why bother using your brain?
Chu Yue's smile deepened, "Prince, are you going to give up?"
Suddenly, Chu Li raised his hand to signal her to shut up.
Chu Yue had a heart attack. Chu Li was so arrogant.
Chu Li smiled confidently, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"When the great peng rises with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles. Even if it comes down when the wind dies down, it can still stir up the water in the ocean.
People in the world always see me as different, and they all sneer when they hear my big words. Xuanfu still fears the younger generation, and a man should not look down on the young. "
Chu Li spoke in an excited voice and took a step towards Chu Yue with great momentum. Chu Yue was frightened by his momentum and took two steps back.
Chu Li's voice echoed throughout the hall. In an instant, there was silence all around, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
