years. But governing a province is out of the question. This palace wouldn't take the well-being of an entire province's people as a personal favor."Zhao Rui whispered, "This concubine knows and will...Chapter 433: Extraordinary
Poetic texts are the embodiment of a scholar's sentiments and ideals.
Li Chen spoke, offering the next line of the couplet. In just two short sentences, he created an atmosphere of upheaval and change, with the power to swallow the world whole.
Mr. Mirror was taken aback, and his gaze towards Li Chen suddenly held a hint of depth.
But at this moment, Li Chen leaned into Jin Pa's ear and chuckled softly: "There is actually one more pair, Ruan Sha Qing Jiang Xi, painting Jin Pa's delicate eyebrows."
This sneak attack came completely out of the blue.
Su Jinpa was startled when Li Chen's hot breath blew on her earlobe.
Then, just as she had processed the first line, Li Chen's second couplet followed, leaving her face flushed and her heart pounding like a frantic deer.
This, this is before the great sage of the present day, how dare this person
It was an expression of annoyance, but a young woman's heart is complex and tender. These couplets were far more touching than the vulgar things Li Chen usually said. Su Jinpa was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Haha."
Mr. Mirror's laughter interrupted Li Chen and Su Jin's seemingly oblivious conversation.
"Young Master, extraordinary!"
"A small compliment from Mr. Mirror, signifying his recognition of Li Chen."
Li Chen bowed again and said, "I dare not stand before the master. Master Jing, your words are humbling."
"Mr. Mirror chuckled softly and said, 'I see that young Master possesses a noble bearing, every gesture exuding an aura beyond ordinary men. Your writing is exquisite, revealing a profound mind. Have you come today on business or simply to meet fellow poets' "
"Speaking of which, Li Chen no longer concealed his identity and solemnly declared: 'I, the junior, come from the East Palace.'"
Even though he had some preparation for Li Chen's identity, when he heard Li Chen introduce himself, Mr. Mirror still raised his eyebrows.
Prince.
The current emperor, or the crown prince acting as regent.
It goes without saying that once the emperor dies, the crown prince will immediately ascend to the throne.
A prince, by removing the "storage" character from his title, becomes a king.
"Today I am here to invite Mr. [Name] into the court and appoint him as Grand Scholar of the East Pavilion, so that he may bring peace and prosperity to all people."
Mr. Jing looked at Li Chen silently, waiting for him to finish speaking before letting out a chuckle. Instead of answering Li Chen immediately, he teased Su Jinpa: "Su family girl, you brought more than just a distinguished guest today."
Su Jinping pulled herself out of the daughter's emotions and said in a low voice, "Sir, your great talent, if not used for the court, would be a pity."
"A true scholar's talents are not found in the court, but in the mountains and fields."
Mr. Mirror shook his head, the smile on his face fading. He said to Li Chen in a warm voice, "I'm afraid I can't agree to this, Your Highness. Please forgive me."
Mr. Mirror's words were polite, but his tone was firm with a gentle edge, leaving no room for refusal.
Li Chen said: "Since you are a renowned sage and scholar loved and revered by scholars all over the world, why are you unwilling to dedicate your talents to the court"
Mr. Jing still shook his head and said, "If I had such thoughts, I would have gone long decades ago. Why wait until now When I was young, I was full of vigor and ambition, and I still had the desire to unify the world. But after experiencing so much and seeing so much, I understood that the grand scheme of things cannot be changed by one person alone. It is better to devote myself to mountains and rivers, and to have fewer worries. Isn't that a good thing"
Li Chen frowned and said: "The general trend of the world is indeed not something one person can change, but if everyone thinks that way, wouldn't this world have already been in chaos"
Mr. Mirror said calmly, "It is not my will, and it cannot be forced. Your Highness should return."
Seeing the two become more and more tense, Su Jinping hurriedly spoke: "Mr. Mirror, His Highness came all the way from the capital with sincerity. Even if you are not willing at this moment, there is no need to make things awkward." from that year. King Ning was brave and martial. Just after coming of age, he was sent to the military by the late emperor for training. He did a decent job over the years. At first, the late emperor...
