Little did they know, upon hearing this, Zhan Doudou smiled calmly and said:
"When I learned that it was Young Master Chen leading the Southern Qing delegation, I was very pleased."
"I often read your poems, and I like every single line."
"Even the Grand Tutor often praised Young Master Chen's talent."
"The affairs of state are now concluded. Young Master Chen, please accompany me for a leisurely stroll and let me show you the sights of the imperial palace."
After listening to what Zhan Doudou said, Chen Qingfeng felt somewhat helpless.
Now that things have come to this point, it would be rather inappropriate for him not to agree.
"Since Your Majesty has extended an invitation, I, your humble servant, will humbly accept!"
Zhan Doudou was overjoyed to see Chen Qingfeng agree.
Afterwards, Fan Xian led Wang Qinian and the other members of the delegation out of the main hall and returned to the royal villa to rest.
"My older brother really knows how to steal the spotlight wherever he goes!"
"Judging from the young emperor of Northern Qi, he seems to greatly admire his talent. Perhaps he's a fanatical fan?"
Fan Xian sighed inwardly.
I'm thinking that I should write a book or something someday.
As the Southern Qing delegation departed, the Northern Qi court officials also began to disperse.
Before leaving, Shen Zhong glanced meaningfully at Chen Qingfeng, who was still standing in front of the hall.
"This Chen Qingfeng is truly unfathomable!"
"Even His Majesty favors him so much."
"If he were just a civil official, that would be one thing, but his martial arts skills are unfathomable."
"Such a person would be a great threat to Northern Qi!"
Shen Zhong pondered silently, growing increasingly wary of Chen Qingfeng.
In addition, he also thought of his younger sister, Shen Wan'er.
"Wan'er seems to really like 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. She spends all day reading the book without getting tired, and she can't put it down."
"I can't let my sister see Chen Qingfeng."
After a moment's thought, a resolute look flashed in Shen Zhong's eyes. He decided to confine his younger sister, Shen Wan'er, to her quarters once he returned, until Chen Qingfeng and the others left Northern Qi!
After all, what if Shen Wan'er and Chen Qingfeng met?
Perhaps Shen Wan'er will be bewitched by Chen Qingfeng.
He didn't want his sister to be tricked away by Chen Qingfeng like that.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager, who had been ruling from behind the curtain, also left.
She did not object to Zhan Doudou's private meeting with Chen Qingfeng.
It is also known that Zhan Doudou wanted to use this opportunity to test Chen Qingfeng.
After everyone had left, the entire hall appeared empty.
At this moment, Zhan Doudou also lost her seriousness and appeared relaxed.
After stretching, she smiled at Chen Qingfeng, then jumped off the dragon throne and went straight to Chen Qingfeng.
Before going up, Zhan Doudou spoke first:
"Let's go!"
"Today I will show you, the poet of the Southern Dynasty, the celestial palace of my Northern Dynasty."
Hearing what Zhan Doudou said, Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"Then I must open my eyes and take a good look."
Then, Zhan Doudou didn't linger and led Chen Qingfeng around the Northern Qi palace.
Along the way, pavilions and towers can be seen everywhere, interspersed and reflected by the big banyan trees.
Its combination of blue and black, strength and gentleness, is breathtakingly beautiful.
Originally, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs followed them, but Zhan Doudou dismissed them all.
After these people left, Zhan Doudou smiled and looked at Chen Qingfeng, saying:
"Young Master Chen, your novel *Dream of the Red Chamber* is truly exquisite."
As she spoke, Zhan Doudou unconsciously began to recite:
"Flowers fall and fly, filling the sky; their red fades and fragrance vanishes, who will mourn them? Gossamer threads softly bind the spring pavilion, and falling catkins lightly brush against the embroidered curtains..."
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"As long as your Majesty likes it."
Zhan Doudou glanced back at Chen Qingfeng and said:
"Dream of the Red Chamber is exquisitely written, and Journey to the West is equally impressive."
"The moon shines like silver before Flower Fruit Mountain, and a new luster appears on the Monkey King's head! The golden monkey wields his mighty cudgel, clearing away the dust from the jade sky!"
At this point, Zhan Doudou, without waiting for Chen Qingfeng's reply, continued:
"And your poems are all masterpieces that can be called timeless classics."
"Birds have vanished from a thousand mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths."
"An old man in a straw hat and raincoat, alone in a small boat, fishing in the cold river snow."
"The stars tonight are not those of last night; for whom do I stand in the wind and dew at midnight?"
"Life goes on endlessly, generation after generation, but the river moon remains the same year after year."
"once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking."
"..."
Zhan Doudou recited the poem fluently, her eyes filled with admiration.
Chen Qingfeng was both amused and exasperated upon seeing this.
Unexpectedly, the young emperor of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou, was also his biggest fan.
After reciting the poem, Zhan Doudou looked at Chen Qingfeng curiously:
"Mr. Chen."
"I'm very curious, what's going on in your head?"
"It's amazing that he can write so many wonderful poems and essays."
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and replied:
"Your Majesty is so complimentary!"
"They're just some lighthearted writings!"
Zhan Doudou smiled and said:
"Young Master Chen is being too modest, isn't he?"
"If those are all pretentious and pedantic phrases, how can the world's scholars bear it?"
Chen Qingfeng did not reply further...
Seeing this, Zhan Doudou continued to lead Chen Qingfeng forward.
Before long, the two arrived at Liangtingzhichun (852 Middle School, 104.278).
Inside the pavilion, there is a stone table with various exquisite snacks and fruits on it.
In addition, there was a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) on a low table to the side.
A gentle breeze, carrying the dampness of the nearby stream, caressed us.
Zhan Doudou stood by the railing, hands behind her back, and couldn't help but recite again:
"The water sparkles beautifully on a sunny day, and the misty mountains are equally enchanting in the rain."
"If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to wear light makeup and heavy makeup."
Then, she turned to look at Chen Qingfeng and asked with a smile:
"Young Master Chen, is this West Lake part of your Southern Qing territory?"
Chen Qingfeng nodded, then turned his gaze to the ancient zither.
Seeing this, Zhan Doudou asked curiously:
"how?"
"Young Master Chen, you wouldn't happen to know how to play the zither, would you?"
When she said this, Zhan Doudou seemed somewhat incredulous.
After all, Chen Qingfeng already has too much of a halo around him.
He was utterly unparalleled in poetry and prose, and his martial arts prowess was unfathomable.
If this person could also play musical instruments, they would be practically a perfect person!
"I wouldn't say I'm an expert, I can only say I know a little bit."
Chen Qingfeng replied with a smile.
Then, to Zhan Doudou's astonishment, he walked to the low table where the guqin was placed.
Over the years, he has received many rewards from the system's check-in area.
Among them, there is naturally no shortage of the art of playing the zither.
Seeing that guqin just now piqued Chen Qingfeng's interest.
Then, Chen Qingfeng sat down directly in front of the guqin.
At this moment, he was dressed in white, exuding an air of refined elegance.
