Five inconspicuous wine jars were placed on the main hall, and the prince made people go to Huangqu Town with a lot of money for these five jars of wine. Unexpectedly, when people arrived at Huangqu, they knew that there were only fifty jars of this peach blossom wine, which can be said to be one jar less than one jar. The arrogant prince's subordinate officials said that if they didn't, they would brew it, after all, the Huangqu Lu clan was just a river and lake, how dare they say no.

The peach blossom wine brewed in a row was disappreciative, and most of the fine wines were the best for aging. Wutan Peach Blossom Wine doesn't have to think about the lid of the porcelain jar, and it will definitely not be more than three years of new wine. His Majesty the Emperor, who sits on the dragon throne, is not everyone in the wine, but he can't fake it when he looks at the prince's excited face, whether it's good or bad, it's a heart.

The queen said: "The prince's wine doesn't seem to be aged, what's so surprising." ”

He personally picked up a jar of peach blossom wine and said: "After returning to my mother, my son went to the Lu Guogong Mansion as a guest earlier. I was fortunate to taste this kind of peach blossom wine, and most of the officials in the room had tasted two kinds of peach blossom wine in Lu's restaurant, one was a daughter makeup, and the other was a peach blossom fairy, which can be described as a must-have in the wine. The first taste is bland, and the aftertaste is endless. ”

A few words evoked the double clothes made at the table, and many times cheekily asked Liu Zhixing to bring some fine wine. Student Zhang Wenzheng was known by the old shopkeeper when he went in and out of the restaurant, and he often bought two and got one free in the face of his bachelor of Hanlin. Although the two kinds of peach blossom brew are fairy in the wine, there are countless wines in the palace, but the ice spirit spring is just a well-known wine in the market, and it is really impossible to enter the palace banquet. These two kinds of peach blossom wine are better to drink, but they are not as good as the fine wines treasured by the palace.

Still a little curious, he asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince, is this wine different from my daughter's makeup, the Peach Blossom Fairy." ”

Looking out of his robes, the prince had never felt that the old gentleman was so understanding. I slapped open a jar of peach blossom brew with my own hands, and a fragrant fragrance permeated the nose. At first, there is a peach blossom fragrance, and in early autumn, it is rare to have a peach blossom scene in spring, and then it wafts a light wine smell.

The fragrance of flowers is pervasive, like peach blossoms in full bloom, just like spring, the garden can't be closed. It seems that autumn has not passed, winter is coming, and spring is coming.

The faint aroma of wine wafted to the emperor's side, first in the nose and then in the heart. The queen's eyes stared at the wine jar in the prince's hand, and she couldn't forget it for a long time. The queen has never smelled this kind of fragrant wine, and people say that the wine is famous for ten miles, which is not an empty word.

The emperor waved his hand, and Gonggong Wei stepped forward to take the charming wine and poured a glass of reddish peach blossom wine. The tip of the nose was slightly inhaled into the heart, and the eyes of the hundred officials were embarrassed and stared at the emperor to evaluate the wine. Although I have drunk my daughter's makeup peach blossom fairy, when the wine jar is opened, the floral aroma of wine that greets people is obsessed. How can there be such a good wine in the world, it is not the result of aging, especially the fragrance of the girl is intoxicating. It is as if the small wine jar seals the sweetness of peach blossoms, the warmth of girls, and the mellowness of fine wine.

A sip into the throat gently moistens the throat, not the stimulation of spirits, nor the mellowness of fine wine, which makes people have an endless aftertaste. opened his mouth and said: "It is suspected that the peach blossoms are blooming all over the garden, and the young man does not hesitate to be soft with flowers." Liu Ce, an old thing, has such a good thing and doesn't know how to share it with me, it's so bold. ”

The queen was a little surprised to see the reddish wine in the jar, she had not seen the emperor praise the wine so much for many years. Father-in-law Wei poured it full, and the queen tasted it elegantly and dignified. The red lips are bright and the wine is reddish, and this wine seems to have been made for the queen.

"It's not aged, but it's not inferior, but it's obsessive. Open the altar and drink with the secretaries. ”

The other four altars have opened the cover, and the magnificent hall is like a peach source, and the fragrance of flowers is obsessed. Gonggong Wei said: "Your Majesty should summon the top three to enter the palace. "The Emperor seems to have forgotten that there is another son who has not given a congratulatory gift.

Smelling the fragrance of wine and looking at the high-spirited prince, the prince was about to get up, and Gonggong Wei shouted: "Xuan Zhuangyuan Zhang Bai, the list is in Jane, and Yuan Yufang will see you." ”

King Qi had no choice but to sit down peacefully, his fists clenched. Finding the ill-intentioned eyes of the two imperial brothers, Xiao Yan seemed to be really laughing at the original power of the ruling and opposition Qi brothers, Xiao Bin just glanced at the golden bottle and drank it all. What I care about is still the top three in today's department, and the three talented people are very lucky, and they are on the list just right for the emperor's birthday, which is rare in ancient and modern times.

Three gorgeously dressed talents walked into the main hall, and Zhang Bai was in the center and was on the side of Jian Yuan Yu's room. The emperor looked at the three of them and said with a smile on his face: "The three Aiqing stand out among many students, they are all the pillars of the Great Liang, and I think it is the best birthday gift in this life." ”

In this regard, the hundred officials smiled with a smile on their faces, but their thoughts were changeable, Zhang Bai bowed down and said: "I wish Your Majesty a long life and a long life." Yu Jian and Yuan Yufang then congratulated.

The emperor smiled and asked, "Zhang Bai Yu Jian Yuan Yufang, what official position do the three Aiqing want." ”

Yuan Yufang preemptively said: "Your Majesty Weichen is a person from Wenzhou, and his hometown has suffered from this catastrophe. Yuan Yufang is willing to go to Wenzhou to show what he has learned, benefit his neighbors, and relieve His Majesty's worries. ”

Suddenly, the emperor was a little surprised, and he didn't expect that there would be students from Wenzhou this year. Over the years, most of the top three have served as outsiders in the DPRK, and their official positions are not high, after all, they are also Beijing officials, and few people are willing to go out to serve. The prime minister's concierge is not an empty word, and the seventh-grade officials in Beijing dare to speak arrogantly in the face of local five-rank officials. Yuan Yufang ranks among the top three, and he is willing to go to the local government not for nothing, but very rarely, after all, there is a big difference between him and thousands of miles away under the emperor's nose.

"Yuan Aiqing wants to go to Wenzhou, otherwise he will serve in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the Hanlin Academy can choose one place within the six ministries." As soon as he said this, all officials were shocked, and the weight of this sentence can be described as extremely heavy. Only a few people led by Wang An could hear that this was the emperor's temptation of this Tanhualang, and His Majesty the Emperor, who had made a promise, stared at this Tanhualang.

Yuan Yufang knelt down directly and said: "Last year, Weichen's father mortgaged the title deed when he came to Beijing, so that Weichen could successfully persist in Taiping City until the scientific expedition was adjacent to the funding. Earlier news came that Wenzhou did not know about heavy snowfall, soldiers, and displaced people. Only Weichen is blessed in Taiping City, and he is willing to return to his hometown to repay his kindness and rebuild his homeland, and beg His Majesty for his kindness. ”

If you don't want to have a good future, you have to go to Wenzhou in the remote north. Wenzhou, which is not a wealthy land, can be said to be a mess after the snow disaster. Except for a few emperors and prime ministers who were forced to go to Wenzhou, most of them were young and vigorous officials, or officials who were unwilling, and the oldest was only in his thirties.

Looking at Emperor Yuan Yufang, who was twenty-five or sixteen years old, he said: "I promise you, if there are a few more talented people like Yuan Aiqing in Daliang, it will be a blessing, and I will give you a county for a period of three years." Yuan Yufang's face was a little more joyful, and he looked forward to the county of Wenzhou.

Seeing the hurried appearance of the two champions, he said: "Don't do stupid things with you two, the champions of the beam have not yet reached the point of worthlessness." The official positions of the two of you will then be inspected in detail by the Ministry of Officials, and you will stay in Taiping City to hone your skills, and then talk about it if you have the opportunity. "Of course, there will be a group of students who have just entered the officialdom and will go to the seven disaster-stricken states in the north to take up official positions, and the official positions will inevitably not be very high.

Yu Jian, who wanted to please a good omen, obviously he was the eye of the list, and Zhang Bai was just a champion to steal some limelight, and you were like the top of the list. Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers reminded Yu Jian of the peach blossom wine he had drunk in the restaurant, and that delicacy will be remembered in this life.

The emperor said: "Take the table first, and then report to the ministry." ”

After the three of them sat down one after another, King Qi, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, strode out. Yang Chen's cultivation spirit was particularly surprised, and the young official next to him asked, "Isn't it to His Highness's appetite that the prince has such a good wine?" Yang Chen, who was not thinking about this, just replied: "This wine is not yet famous, it is made by a girl herself, and I happen to know this girl, Lord Wang, do you think I will find it novel?" He smiled.

The three people at the bottom of the table naturally shared some peach blossom wine, Yuan Yufang put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and was about to taste it, but when he saw Zhang Bai and Yu Jian didn't seem to care, he slowly put down the gold bottle. Curiously asked, "Do you think the palace wine is bad?" ”

Yu Jian glanced at Zhang Bai and said, "This is not the palace's wine, I was fortunate enough to drink it once." It is indeed a rare product in the world, Brother Yuan should not let go of this opportunity. ”

In this way, Yuan Yufang is more curious about Zhang Bai, who doesn't care at all, the wine in front of him is like an ordinary spirit, and Yu Jian is good manners. Zhang Bai didn't seem to care, as if he drank it regularly. Casting a strange look, Zhang Bai saw Yuan Yufang's eyes and replied: "Brother Yuan's peach blossom brew is the younger brother's hometown wine, which is also a specialty, but this kind of peach blossom wine is brewed by only one person, and it will be another taste in the hands of others, and it is a really good thing." ”

It seems that only he Yuan Yufang is an ignorant outsider, and he feels a little boring. Everyone in the court was sitting in danger, so they had to pretend to be reserved and put down the gold bottle to listen to the teachings of His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten such a son, and he didn't feel strange that King Qi walked out, nor did he take it for granted, and he was more disappointed and a little indebted. In previous years, there were many interesting things, which were very pleasing to people, and naturally there were no rewards. Those birthday gifts are not good things, but the son's filial piety is heavier. This year, His Majesty Xiao Pingyin, the emperor of a country, is a little lonely, there is one less person around him, and there is also one less bland song that he thinks is the best birthday gift in the world.

Watching King Qi walk out, I couldn't help but miss a little, and the plain song seemed to surround my ears.

King Qi said: "My father and sons have a dance music presented, this song is called "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song", and twenty years ago, my mother and court musicians played together to amaze the Quartet. Erchen is fortunate to hear that some people are proficient in this song, and the choreography is also personally choreographed by Mrs. Zhaofang with red sleeves, which has a unique style. ”

The emperor was a little surprised, this piece has never been in the palace of Concubine Xin. Maybe it's not strange that Concubine Xin was a gift to King Qi when she was alive, but what King Qi said was a little surprising among the people. King Qi looked at the crown prince's eyes, and the prince's expression, who didn't care at all, changed. Naturally, there is only one person who can have this song, Ji Yulian of the Lu State Mansion. I couldn't help but think that Yang Chen deliberately mentioned that King Qi's congratulatory gift was a song, and I didn't think there could be anything strange.

But when he looked at Yang Chen, Yang Chen's eyes were fixed on Xiao Kun, the king of Qi who gave him a congratulatory gift. There has never been a person left in his heart, fighting with the King of Qi, and rectifying the government and the opposition as if he had forgotten, and his face was a little confused at this time. It's not that one person plays a tune, but this piece is only played once in this palace, and the person who plays it is the emperor's favorite concubine.

Lin Xie, who was at the front, looked at His Royal Highness King Qi, who was not very old. Slowly looked up at the emperor sitting on the throne, his eyes were confused, and he remembered someone. The face of the queen with the phoenix crown changed suddenly. A living person is still not as good as a person who has passed away, and the same woman is not jealous.

King Qi waved his hand to give up an open space in the hall, and many officials had only heard of but had never seen the legendary dance music, and they couldn't help but show a trace of excitement. I saw a green coat walking into the main hall in small steps, with a hint of shyness on his face. The long black hair fluttered slightly, and the dress fluttered slightly, as if a fairy had been left behind in the world. Behind them, the two carried a xylophone engraved with two finch, and the woman walked to the center of the hall and bowed.

The prince in front of the palace had a fiery look in his eyes and was a little angry, whether it was a song or a person, only one thing was not so far, and the combination of the two felt that King Qi's intentions were even more sinister. Sitting in the center with a smile on his face, he never thought it would be this kind girl, it turned out that he was not only good at wine, but also kind-hearted, and he was also a good hand at Fuqin, and he couldn't help but feel that bastard boy was really good-looking. The delicate little girl is already popular, so what are you waiting for if the little girl doesn't stay quickly. With one hand stroking his beard and smiling, he looked at the little girl.

Yang Chen, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked at the green clothes and was a little moved, and he regretted why he didn't go to Liu's Mansion or the restaurant during that time. With his fists clenched, he stared at Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, who was calm, and the prince who gave the song. In the struggle for power, an ordinary girl is really not a big deal.

Zhang Bai, who was sitting at the end, stared at Yulian tightly, and Yulian once said: "Brother Zhang, if you win the champion, I will give you a surprise." Squinting at Yulian, he felt that the girl he loved was already very good-looking. Now the girl is like a fairy in the sky, but she feels a little sad.

Yu Jian felt a little interesting, it turned out that not only was the wine brewed well, but it was not bad to be able to play the fuqin for His Majesty, and some regretted not listening to a song in advance.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on a high seat, looked fascinated, and from the moment the girl walked into the main hall, it seemed to go back to twenty years ago. For the first time, he searched all over the world to find the famous "Neon Clothes and Feather Song" of the previous dynasty. Concubine Xin entered the main hall in purple clothes and stood in that place. The same etiquette is not bad at all, I remember that Concubine Xin said that this is not a courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but the etiquette that a musician should have, regardless of whether it is high or low, as long as it is an audience, it is worthy of this courtesy.

Yulian lowered her body and said: "The people's daughter Ji Yulian presents a song, wishing His Majesty the Emperor ten thousand years." ”
