Princess Xianyi composed poems in public at the palace banquet, so that Zhang Jiuling, who had always looked down on her, was very proud, and when she sat down, her eyes glanced at Zhang Jiuling from time to time.

The more Zhang Jiuling behaved like pins and needles, the stronger the pride in her heart.

"Originally, I thought that the poems given to me by Yang Yun might not be effective, but now it seems that the effect is very good."

Then there is the sword dance performance.

Aunt Gongsun appeared in the midst of thousands of calls and performed the flying sword dance in front of people.

Dressed in red and covered with a light veil, Aunt Gongsun had to complete the sword dance performance in the air under the traction of the rope, which attracted the applause of the princes and ministers present, while the parties to the incident, Princess Xianyi and Zhang Jiuling, had no intention of appreciating the dazzling sword dance.

Princess Xianyi took advantage of the fact that the attention of the audience fell on Aunt Gongsun, walked to the throne, leaned into Li Longji's ear and whispered a few words, and then Li Longji called Li Linfu, who was presiding over the palace banquet, to give advice.

Aunt Gongsun's sword dance performance ended, and the audience applauded.

Then Li Linfu announced in public: "Her Royal Highness the princess has prepared a fine wine for the guests present, please taste it." ”

Concubine Wu Hui frowned: "Xianyi, how can you bring wine to the palace banquet casually?" ”

Li Longji waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, since it's Xianyi's intention, let her try it...... It is said that this is a good wine that has been tested by the palace people in advance and determined that there is no problem, and it is said that people who are not drunk after a thousand cups will get drunk after drinking three or five cups...... Anyway, I want to try it. ”

With the emperor's approval, a palace maid brought up a pot of high wine, and two pots of wine were placed on each table of the palace banquet.

Imperial wine, in the past palace banquets also have it, but since it is a royal gift, it is basically a famous wine paid tribute by the local government, and now the princess will bring wine from outside the palace as a royal gift, which is really unexpected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to go around the wine and toast, just taste it."

With the wine brought in, many people can't wait to taste it, as an official in the court, usually have a lot of entertainment, and the amount of wine is not bad, at this time, they usually drink wine in the state of drinking, and drink a big sip at once.

However, the spicy taste of the wine instantly choked the nose, and some people drank half a mouthful, spit it out directly, and even squirted out, coughing constantly.

Princess Xianyi got up and said with a smile: "It is said that it is a fine wine, you should taste it slowly, how can you drink it all in one go?" Let's try it too. ”

Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to pour a glass of wine, and after the little eunuch tasted it first to confirm that it was okay, he put the wine in front of his nose and sniffed it, feeling that the smell was not bad, he took a sip, his eyes instantly widened, obviously the spicy taste made him unacceptable.

"Your Majesty, this wine is indeed a fine wine, but it is too strong." Han Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said.

Li Linfu said with a smile: "In addition to tasting such a fine wine in the palace, where else can I find it?" It's a royal wine. ”

Li Linfu set the tone, the people below can no longer casually criticize the wine is not good, each tastes it, the first sip feels that the taste is very strong, but with a small sip and a small sip, I feel that this wine is extremely mellow and fragrant, full of stamina, and the wine is not good, and after drinking a glass, my head is a little dizzy.

"Good wine, good wine."

Li Longji also tasted it slowly, it was really spicy and stimulating in the mouth just now, but after the entrance, the aftertaste was long, the lips and teeth were fragrant, and it was warm in the stomach, and it felt very comfortable, and he couldn't help blurting out a praise, as if he was very satisfied with this wine.

"I personally toast you to a cup."

Li Longji stood up and raised his glass.

The people present were unknown, it was Li Linfu who presided over the banquet, why did the emperor suddenly stand up and toast?

It is very rare for the emperor to toast in person.

The princes and ministers hurriedly stood up and accepted the toast together.

The emperor held the cup in his left hand, and the wide sleeve of his right hand was blocked in front, and when he tilted his neck, he actually drank it all, and finally showed the bottom of the cup to everyone.

When the others saw this situation, even if the wine was strong, they had to drink the cup with the emperor, and they learned the emperor's posture, raised the wine glass, took a sip, and then brushed the bottom of the glass, but more than half of them could not cope with such a strong wine, and the cough continued.

"Haha."

Li Longji laughed heartily, and then took out a wet brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and threw it to the eunuch serving next to him, obviously cheating when drinking just now.

Colliers laughed.

From the smiles of the master and servant, many people felt that they were being teased, and it was obvious that Li Longji did not drink the wine in one gulp, and the princes and ministers were fooled.

"Your Majesty, do you want to toast your ministers again?" Li Linfu turned around and asked for instructions with a smile.

Li Longji smiled and shook his head: "No need, such a strong wine still needs to be drunk to experience the charm, if you can't finish the taste, you can take it home to taste, don't force it." ”

……

……

The palace banquet ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and when the banquet was dismissed, no one seemed to remember Princess Xianyi's poem, and even Pei Yaoqing didn't mention it in front of Zhang Jiuling.

Gong Yan had little to do with Yang Yun, and no one told him what happened that night.

With the passage of time, approaching the rite examination after the beginning of spring, Yang Yun must also take out time to prepare for the scientific examination, with his half-baked knowledge, it is a little difficult to cope with the imperial examination in this era, but this is always not the Ming and Qing Dynasty's eight shares, Yang Yun feels that he still has a chance.

But it's only theoretical.

In the past few days, Songmei has been making a fuss, probably because she feels that the immorality of the past few years has gradually been forgotten, and she is unwilling to sit at home every day, and wants to go out to swagger.

After the year, Wang Ji returned to Chang'an, and returned to Luoyang on the twenty-eighth day of the first month, and first went to see Yang Yun and told him what his father meant, probably because he wanted to invite the real Wuzun real person to go out of the mountain and let Yang Yun point the way.

"Master has traveled all over the world, if you can really invite him, why let that liar Songmei come out and bluff?" Yang Yun rejected the royal family.

Wang Ji said anxiously: "After the battle of Huiye, the saint has many doubts about his father, if he can't invite the master and his old man to go out of the mountain, I am afraid that my father's official position will not be guaranteed...... Now the saint has the meaning of holding a Taoist festival in the eastern capital, and the world's famous people gather, at this time the master has not come out, it is really unreasonable, in the end, the master is a heavenly master who can be compared with Zhang Guoxian. ”

"It's that I can't ask for it, not that I don't want to ask for it, the main reason is that there is no way...... The master and his old man traveled all over the world, sometimes looking for a blessed place, and meditating for years, and there was no ...... Where do you say I'm going to deliver the letter? If you really want someone to attend the puja, you can only find Songmei to do it for you. Yang Yun spread his hands helplessly.

Wang Ji's face was full of sorrow: "What is the difference between that divine stick and the Qinghe Demon Dao?" Maybe his ability is not as good as the Blue Crane Demon Dao. Let him go...... Alas! ”

Yang Yun said: "He has already faced the saint, have you ever thought about it, if you invite the real master to come out, how can you lie in front of the saint?" ”

"This ......"

Wang Ji also realized that there seemed to be a suspicion of bullying the king, and he entered the palace gate with Songmei and Yang Yun that day, and met the emperor, and he also had a share in the crime of bullying the king.

"Ling Zun's official position depends on the accumulation of military exploits, even if the master is invited out, it will not help, it is better to think about how to deal with the Dharma meeting in front of you."

Yang Yun's attitude was calm, "King Shou arranged for me to be in charge of the preparations for this festival, and then I am going to let you be my deputy, the matter is done, and the master will also have glory." ”

Wang Ji listened to Yang Yun's intentions, and had regarded him as his own, his brows finally eased slightly, and it was not easy to ask Yang Yun to roughly designate a direction to find Wuzun Zhenren, so he could only go home first, send someone to inform Wang Yu, and let Wang Yu start from the side.

……

……

Four days have passed since the palace banquet, and in a blink of an eye, on the first day of the second month, Princess Xianyi came to find Yang Yun.

The business of the drunken immortal building was very good that day, and there was a long queue on the street, and when Princess Xianyi saw this, she could only send someone into the restaurant to find Yang Yun, and it took a while to see Yang Yun come out to greet her.

"Your business here is a bit exaggerated...... Is it necessary for these people to stand in such a long queue just for a meal? ”

Princess Xianyi was very dissatisfied with the noisy environment around her, and teased.

"Let's go inside first, let's go upstairs to the private room and talk."

Whenever Yang Yun vacated a private room, it was to entertain friends or dignitaries who were in dire need.

took Princess Xianyi into the restaurant from the back door, came to the second floor, and entered the private room, Yang Yun was about to arrange for someone to serve wine and food, Princess Xianyi waved her hand: "Don't be so polite, I came here for lunch...... I'm here today to tell you something, there's a banquet tomorrow night, and I'd like to attend with you. ”

"Banquet ......"

Yang Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to bring your sister?" ”

Princess Xianyi looked at Yang Yun and said, "You don't have to take your sister this time, even King Shou won't go, just you and me...... The people who attended the banquet this time were all the relatives of the Eastern Capital family. ”

Yang Yun couldn't help but feel awkward when he heard this.

If you want to attend the meeting of your relatives, what does it mean to bring me?

Is it questioning my gender?

"You're a cultivator, unlike any other man."

Princess Xianyi also thought that there might be something wrong, and immediately added something.

Yang Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "If it is not necessary, it is inconvenient to come forward on this occasion...... I wonder if I can refuse? ”

Princess Xianyi smiled heartily: "You are not very old, but your brain is very complicated, I only said to go with you, but I didn't say that you will see them, or have the opportunity to be alone with them...... What's the matter, I'm afraid of being eaten by those warblers and swallows? ”

Yang Yun didn't know how to answer.

"Then you will come with me and attend as my attendant...... You can see those famous celebrities with your own eyes, which is cheap for you. ”

Princess Xianyi glanced at Yang Yun.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "What does the gathering between your girlfriends have to do with me?" Or are you going to use me to give you face? ”

But seeing that Princess Xianyi insisted, Yang Yun had no choice but to bow his hand and agree with a bitter face.

Princess Xianyi was much happier when she got Yang Yun's approval, and said with a smile: "The poem you gave me, I recited it in public at the palace banquet, and the effect was very good, you don't know how ugly Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's face was at that time......

"Oh."

Yang Yun nodded, looking like he didn't care about himself.

Princess Xianyi frowned: "You don't seem to be very happy?" Don't forget, you came up with this idea, and the person who offended Prime Minister Zhang is naturally you. ”

Yang Yun squinted at Princess Xianyi with a strange expression.

"Okay, I thank you, can't you? I have been paying attention to Prime Minister Zhang's reaction in the past two days, and it is strange to say that he does not seem to have changed substantially in the past few days, and I don't know what the effect is...... You don't know, his face was ugly at that time, but fortunately, his father relieved him of the embarrassment, and then it was as if nothing had happened. ”

Princess Xianyi doesn't seem to be too happy with the effect of the poem.

Yang Yun said: "The princess can show her face in front of many princes and ministers, is it the best result?" ”

Princess Xianyi thought about it and nodded: "It's okay, but I always feel that something is missing." It happens that tomorrow's banquet will be held, and someone from Prime Minister Zhang's mansion will come, so I will ask her and I will know everything. ”
