The noon sun has been hung high at some point, like a stone reflected in the center of the sky, and the scorching breath envelops the entire Chang'an City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the sun is extremely hot, all the taverns called Tianbao in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are crowded with people, men and women, young and old, all discussing the Qixi poetry meeting that is about to start in the palace.

The annual Qixi Poetry Festival is a feast for Chang'an City and even the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the day when the current emperor Li Shimin recruits talents.

As long as you are talented, whether you are a child of a poor family or a noble son, you can come to Chang'an City to participate in the selection, and after passing many tests, you can finally enter the palace to participate in the Qixi Poetry Festival.

If you achieve remarkable results in the poetry meeting, you will not only be able to become famous in the Tang Dynasty, but also have the opportunity to be favored by Li Shimin.

As the post tavern of the imperial dynasty, Tianbao Tavern is distributed in all major states, and Chang'an City as the headquarters is naturally no exception. Therefore, the first news of the Qixi Poetry Festival every year is conveyed through the Tianbao Tavern.

In addition, this year's situation is a bit special, not only the poetry club, but also the martial arts club. This martial arts meeting was specially organized by one person, and after the news was released, the four clans of Gaochang, Qiuzi, Tuyuhun and Goguryeo all sent warriors over.

Why?

There is only one truth...... That is Li Shiyue in front of Jiang Chen!

"Hey, little monk, how is your body recovering? If you are still weak, I will ask the imperial chef to stew black chicken for you to drink. After Li Shiyue entered the room, she came to Jiang Chen for the first time, blinking her eyes, expecting his response.

"Bring me a dozen nutrition fast lines, I can't keep up with nutrition......" Jiang Chen looked at Li Shiyue in a daze, so amazing!

At this time, Li Shiyue was dressed in a white gauze dress, and her delicate figure was even more prominent under the dress. The green silk as soft as wicker hangs left and right after being coiled on the top of the head, and the upturned cherry mouth inadvertently reveals the girl's charm.

Jiang Chen felt for the first time that this girl was actually quite big.

"Little monk, what is Nutrition Express? Also, why are you drooling? ”

"No, no, how can we drool over our dignified Sanzang Master!" Jiang Chen said while wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay, just get up and go." Li Shiyue rolled her eyes.

Jiang Chen nodded, even if Li Shiyue didn't call him, he would go.

Jiang Chen once had the system in hand, and I had the demeanor in the world, but the reality was extremely cruel. Due to the limitations of the system, it can only be temporarily recognized as the boss.

When Jiang Chen was about to leave, he was still thinking about whether to take the mouse with him. Who wants the guinea pig to catch him, go directly into his sleeve, and can't shake it off, so he has to give up.

So I followed Li Shiyue all the way with a depressed mood, and I have to say that with Li Shiyue here, it was really smooth all the way. It is a twenty-minute journey from the backyard of the palace to the Wenwu Palace, and in a short distance, there are constantly Praetorian Guards wandering back and forth.

After coming to a hidden passage in the Wenwu Palace, Li Shiyue stopped and looked back at Jiang Chen, looking twisted and pinched.

Jiang Chen was not only curious, this girl was fine.

Finally, Li Shiyue was struggling for a long time and gathered into one sentence: "You...... Do you remember the agreement we made? ”

Then he raised his mouth and stared at Jiang Chen with tears in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "Girl, you are my person." ”

"Little monk, I'm afraid it's not good. Although I recommended to my father that you go to the poetry meeting, I learned that many talents were selected this time. You also know that my father knows people well, employs people on the basis of merit, and does not ask about their background, so they all rely on real materials to participate in the ......"

Jiang Chen nodded, understanding that not long after Li Shimin became the emperor, he set up a new Hongwen Pavilion to further reserve talents in the world, and recruited talents through the imperial examination, so that many children of poor families have a great opportunity to enter the ranks, and the Qixi Poetry Club is probably also a way to attract talents.

However, the poetry will be?

Hey, he's looking forward to it.

It's not that Jiang Chen is conceited, but that he is already standing on the shoulders of giants, so he comforted: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

"Little monk, come on! I am waiting for your good news in the Lin De Temple! Li Shiyue was as excited as a child, with a silly smile on her face, humming a minor tune and leaving here.

Jiang Chen looked at Li Shiyue's departing shadow and couldn't help but shake his head.

It is very clear that it is impossible for the emperor, the head of the dynasty, to come to the Wenwu Hall to watch the battle, maybe he will come to watch the battle during the final.

Jiang Chen looked up at the sun above the sky, didn't waste any more time, and walked into the Wenwu Hall with a relaxed pace.

The Wenwu Hall is not so much an open-air square, but a magnificent grandstand has been erected in the center.

The stands are all blue, divided into two tiers according to the stairs, and only by going up two floors can you reach the central round jade platform. The jade platform itself is exquisitely clear, and it looks even more dazzling under the midday sun.

The entire square was already filled with people, not only the people in the palace, but also those who were famous in Chang'an City, or the relatives and families of the princes' disciples. These people were not eligible to attend the feast of the Lin De Temple, but they were able to watch the poetry meeting.

As soon as Jiang Chen came here, he was stunned, thinking that there were only contestants, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people. Of course, he just sighed and squeezed straight into the crowd and stepped onto the first step of the stands.

He saw that the contestants were all standing on the first staircase, and it was estimated that there were 100 people, and the first staircase had a lot of space, but there were just so many people standing.

Maybe it was because Jiang Chen was a monk, and the onlookers saw Jiang Chen go up and began to talk about it.

"Who is this monk?"

"Yes, my father is the examiner during the selection, and I know that there are ninety-five people who are qualified to participate in the poetry meeting this time, and there are exactly ninety-five people on the stage, and there is no such monk at all!"

"He seems to be a Sanzang Master?"

"It's Master Sanzang!"

"Master Sanzang has a good relationship with the emperor, is it arranged by the emperor?"

"Hmph, it's just a monk, one more is not too much, and one less is not too much."

There are doubts, there are surprises, there are speechlessness, and more is meaningless. Not only did the audience feel indifferent, but the contestants on the stage chose to ignore it one by one even if they knew that the person who came was Master Sanzang, and most of the contestants focused on the three high-spirited young people in the center.

Jiang Chen didn't care about everyone's gaze, and also fell on the three people in the center, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a strange smile.

Yo, I met an acquaintance.

Jiang Chen didn't have time to deal with this 'acquaintance', so he casually asked a contestant next to him about the rules of the competition.

……

At the same time, the Imperial Palace Rinde Hall.

A long corridor in the main hall is full of wine and delicacies at both ends, and the inside has long been empty, and the people who can sit here are basically the first, second and third grades of the official residence.

On the top dragon chair is an elegant middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe, he is the current emperor Li Shimin, and there are many beautiful maids standing there quietly behind him.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and the maids behind him left one after another, but a beautiful young woman walked up and sat next to him, if Jiang Chen was here, he would definitely be surprised, isn't this Li Shiyue's mother?

It didn't take long for Li Shimin to speak: "The time has come, the feast begins!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout the hall, and soon many delicate girls were performing songs and dances in the center of the corridor.
