Chapter 169 Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty (3) The Wanchao Meeting

"Li Shixian?" Yang Yuhuan, opposite, waved his hand, stopped his original words, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you distracted?"

"Ah?" Li Bai came back to his senses from Fang Fei's thoughts and asked politely: "What did the imperial concubine just say?"

"I'm... cough, nothing." Yang Yuhuan glanced at a palace maid who came in and immediately lowered his voice.

"Imperial Concubine, the emperor said that all parties are ready and you can enter the venue." The palace maid entered the pavilion, bowed, and said respectfully.

"I understand, go down." Yang Yuhuan raised his hand and hit the palace maid, showing her graceful and luxurious appearance that she belonged to the imperial concubine.

"Li Shixian, since the banquet is ready, then I will..."

"Please, Empress of the Imperial Concubine." Li Bai understood, turned his body sideways, and walked away from the pavilion.

When passing by Li Bai, Yang Yuhuan wanted to say something, but when she said something, she swallowed it again. Finally, with the help of the palace maid, she walked further and further away from the pavilion and towards the banquet scene.

This meeting of 10,000 dynasties was not a simple birthday party. The emperor of the dynasty had long issued an edict saying that not only the officials in the court, but also the friendly countries and civilians under the common people could also attend the banquet.

So, the number of participants in this banquet was unprecedentedly attended.

The banquet reached its climax after the protagonist Yang Guifei appeared. The banquet was originally refreshing and the noisy and joyful crowds at the banquet gradually became quiet. Everyone was holding their breath, hoping to see the beauty of the most beautiful face in the prosperous era.

Under the gaze of everyone for a moment, Yang Yuhuan calmly climbed up the steps on the side of the banquet platform, as if she was born to enjoy the attention of the whole world.

"Beloved concubine!" When the emperor saw her coming up, he looked happy and stretched out his hand in the direction of Yang Yuhuan.

The emperor made a sound, as if a stone had been thrown into the originally quiet and unwavering water surface. Suddenly, the crowd below, who were breathing and watching were chattering and suddenly burst into a voice.

"Ah, it turns out that she is our Empress Yang Guifei!"

"She is really beautiful! It's very luxurious and elegant."

"She is the symbol of our prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

"She is afraid she is a fairy in the exiled age!"

"If you can see the beauty, you will have no regrets in this life."

...

Li Bai still stood still on the pavilion before. From here, he could see the general situation on the banquet platform.

For some reason, the scene in front of him was extremely luxurious and lively, but Li Bai could not feel any joy. On the contrary, in the most inconspicuous corner of his heart, a desolate seed was suddenly planted, and slowly began to take root amid the cheers of more and more people.

An old saying goes: When you are prosperous, you will decline, and when you are happy, you will feel sad...

After singing and dancing at the banquet, the emperor suddenly felt that no matter how luxurious such a banquet was, it was still the same, and it seemed that there was a little meaning missing.

So Gao Lishi was summoned to invite the current poet Li Bai to come over and ask him to write a poem immediately to record the shadow of this extraordinary event.

Li Bai has always been a person who likes to drink and poetry, but for some reason, he didn't want to drink and write poetry for no reason tonight.

"Li Bai. Why don't you write poems tonight?" the emperor asked with the majesty of the superiors.

"I am already drunk." Li Bai replied as if he was drunk.

"Hahaha..." The emperor was also a smart man. He immediately heard the rejection in Li Bai's words, but he was not angry. He just clapped his hands and laughed: "Poet Immortal, Wine Immortal, you, Li Bai, have always been inseparable from poetry and wine. When did you get drunk become an excuse to not write poetry?"

"There are many visitors to the Wanchao Conference this time. Li Bai is afraid that he will be drunk and will make jokes from all over the world."

"Hahaha..." The emperor's pleasure from the banquet was not reduced by half, but he still replied with a smile: "Even if you write, who dares to laugh at you? Who dares to laugh at me, the Tang Dynasty! Gao Lishi, bring your pen and ink and invite Li Shixian to write poems!"

After saying that, he saw Gao Lishi sneering and holding his pen and mo, he came over to ask Li Bai to give him mo.

Li Bai turned away in disgust. He had already refused just now. The emperor had no idea what to do with him on the surface, so he sent an eunuch to make things difficult for them.

Just as Gao Lishi was trying to suck Li Bai, a phoenix sound suddenly came from the sky.

The noisy people were stunned and looked up at the source of the sound.

The phoenix was originally a creature that was only found in legends, but since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the phoenix has been constantly appearing and has been seen repeatedly. Is this grand banquet attracting this phoenix again?

Thinking of this, the people of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but feel some pride and expectation in their hearts, and they all looked forward to it even more.

Sure enough, in just a short while, a golden yellow in the sky came into people's eyes, and in an instant it fell on a towering sycamore tree next to the banquet platform.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were extremely excited. This Wanchao Meeting was indeed the banquet they had the longest experience. Many people from the outside world were stunned and thought to themselves: What kind of prosperous era should it be to attract the ancient phoenix to appear in the world, and they couldn't help but respect the current Tang Dynasty.

After the golden phoenix stopped, he ignored people's strange eyes and turned around and looked for something among the crowd.

The golden phoenix's eyes were rolling around, and finally found Li Bai who was pushing and shoving Gao Lishi in the vast crowd.

Since he was looking for the person he was looking for, Jin Feng did not delay and immediately took off and flew towards the direction where Li Bai was.

"Li Bai!" Jin Feng shouted while flying.

"Huh? Who called me?" Li Bai, who was trapped in the quagmire of bargaining, suddenly heard someone calling his name, and immediately shunned Gao Lishi next to him and began to look around the figures around him.

"It's me!" Jin Feng spoke again.

This time, Li Bai was looking for the voice and looking for people... Oh no, looking for birds.

"Hey, this bird actually calls my name?" Li Bai was very curious, so he unconsciously welcomed the golden phoenix.

"Hey, Li Shixian, don't leave!" Gao Lishi grabbed Li Bai quickly with his eyes and hands, "It's not too late to help me write two poems for the emperor before leaving!"

"But this bird just called my name, so I must have something urgent to ask me. I will write it again and again." Li Bai hurriedly refused.

"Li Shixian, you are so good at joking." Gao Lishi's whole face was almost wrinkled into bitter gourd, "How can a bird speak human words? By chance, I can recognize your name!"

"That's not true!" Li Bai told the truth, "So I want to go over and take a look."

"Hey, Li Shixian!" Looking at Li Bai who suddenly escaped, Gao Lishi hurriedly chased him out.

"Li Bai!" Jin Feng finally flew to Li Bai, took a breath and said, "It's time to go back with me!"

Li Bai, who had just arrived, was stunned and asked back: "Where to go back?"

After saying this, Li Bai suddenly felt that he had remembered something, so he looked at the banquet stage in panic.

But Jin Feng suddenly came over and spread her wings, blocking Li Bai's exploration of her vision, and said, "Li Bai, it's time to go back..."
