For several days, Twilight Liuyun and Mo Wen didn't see Xin Yao's shadow.

Since the incident of the drunken immortal residence, Xin Yao did not dare to leave the palace again, for fear of causing an accident and losing her royal face.

In recent years, the Hundred Flowers Banquet has been set up in Rongyuan, because the world now advocates poetry and songs, so it is held every year very successfully, attracting many princes and nobles, literati and artists, and even lovers from other countries to participate.

At the end of March, the garden is full of spring, the flowers are very bright, the red fire, white as snow, pink like the glow, colorful and dazzling, the breeze gently crosses, the pear tree, the peach tree on the delicate petals, gently and softly fall under the tree.

There is a vacant space in the center of the garden, which is specially cleaned up for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and a circular platform has been set up in the middle, only a few inches higher than the ground, and a red carpet has been laid on it, and an incense case is set up at one end of the platform, with an incense burner on it, and there is a row of tables and chairs behind the incense case. and Xiao Si in red clothes are busy back and forth.

There are also carpets laid around the bottom of the table, and a lot of long tables and futons are placed, of course, not everyone can sit, only the sons of the family, the family members of the eunuchs, and the famous talents and beauties can be seated.

Twilight Liuyun and Mo Wen were idle, and came to the Rong Garden early, where many people had gathered, some men stood beside the flower trees and bowed their heads and whispered to the beauties next to them, some walked in the garden to look at the flowers, and some gathered in groups to chat. Of course, Mo Wen didn't fall behind, gossiping there with a group of men and women.

Xiao Si led Twilight to the table in the first row at the front of the platform, "Twilight, this is your seat, please." Another Xiao Si saw that there was someone sitting in the seat, and immediately brought a pot of freshly brewed tea.

Twilight Liuyun sat on the futon, shaking the folding fan in his hand, a faint smile on his handsome face, drinking tea with great elegance, and his two mustaches made him a little evil and a little bohemian, which attracted the woman next to him to look at him frequently, reluctant to leave his eyes.

After a while, I saw a woman walking across the platform, wearing a pink skirt, which was long and dragged to the ground, lining her skin to reflect the snow, peach cheeks smiling, and a pair of smart big eyes looking forward to leaving, like a fallen elf, beautiful and incomprehensible.

She is Princess Xinyao, Twilight Liuyun looked at it, she didn't expect her to be so beautiful in women's clothes, and looked at her eyes, more and more familiar, Twilight Liuyun was very surprised, could it be that she had seen it in a dream?

The presiding officer was relatively old, with a gray beard, and when he saw Princess Xin Yao, he hurriedly ran over to salute and led Xin Yao to the best position in front of the stage, Xin Yao said to the presiding officer: "Lord Principal, you don't have to be polite, you are busy with yours." ”

"Yes." The presiding officer bowed and retired. Liu Xinyao sat there alone.

Twilight Liuyun looked at Xin Yao, and glanced at the few servant girls who followed behind, there was no little peach in it, why didn't she see her handmaid, could it be an accident? Looking at Xin Yao's expression, it shouldn't be, she still has a good relationship with that little peach.

Xin Yao sat there bored left and right, and saw Twilight Liuyun, and saw that Twilight Liuyun was also looking at her, and recognized it at a glance, this person is the thief, look at the two beards, it's him!

Xin Yao glared at Mu Liuyun and scolded in her heart: Deng's disciple, little thief. Thinking of being in the Drunken Immortal Residence, Xin Yao despised him even more!

Twilight Liuyun looked at the strange expression on Xin Yao's face, as if she was scolding him in her heart, so she raised her glass, raised her eyebrows at Xin Yao, saluted, and put it to her mouth and took a sip.

Xin Yao looked at his appearance, glanced at him fiercely, and muttered to him: Thief, villain!

Xiao Tao walked over, followed by Du Wenbo, and next to him was a woman, Feng Sijiao, the daughter of the prime minister.

Only then did Twilight Liuyun understand that the emotional little peach was looking for Du Wenbo's son!

Du Wenbo walked up to Xin Yao and saluted, smiled and asked, "Princess, are you okay?" ”

Xin Yao saw Du Wenbo standing in the sun like a spring breeze, swept away the gloomy mood just now, and said happily: "It's okay, Brother Wenbo sit down." Du Wenbo sat under Xin Yao's desk.

Feng Sijiao reluctantly saluted Princess Xin Yao with her head held high, and said, "Blessed princess." After speaking, he turned around and walked over to sit under Du Wenbo.

Xiao Tao pouted behind Xin Yao's back, isn't she just the daughter of a prime minister, what's the big deal! Even if it looks okay, it's far worse than our princess, pestering Du Gongzi all day long, it's really shameless.

Feng Sijiao sat there, watching Du Wenbo ignore her, just talking to Xin Yao, her heart was angry, her face was very ugly, and she couldn't help it, after all, she was a princess on top.

Mo Wen saw Twilight Liuyun sitting alone, leaving the gossip crowd, going over to sit down next to Twilight Liuyun, looking at the other side and saying, "This princess is also here, it seems that this Hundred Flowers Banquet is not ordinary, right, Liuyun." ”

Twilight Liuyun picked up the teapot and poured it for Mo Wen: "I've been gossiping for a long time, I'm thirsty, close my mouth and drink tea!" ”

Mo Wen opened his mouth wide and faced Twilight Cloud, "Shut your mouth, how can you drink?" ”

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was about to begin, and the long table was full of people, and there were many people standing behind them, in a large circle.

The presiding officer stood on the stage, bowed to the audience, and said loudly: "This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is different, in order to make the banquet a successful conclusion, the most wonderful part is placed at the end, in order: calligraphy, painting, chess, music, dance, and poetry. I also specially invited Mr. Zhao, a scholar, Mr. Yu, the head of Yuelu Academy, and Mr. Zhu, Taishou Zhu, to judge together. Today is a book and a painting, the painting is based on the theme of landscapes, flowers and birds, and the book is subject to the inscription on the painting, and the time is two hours. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Si holding a tray and placing pen, ink, paper, inkstone and pigment on each long table in turn, and a special pen for painting.

The presiding officer shouted, "Start now!" ”

The talented and beautiful people hurriedly picked up their pens and began to paint, and the scene was instantly quiet. Twilight clouds stared at the blank drawing paper spread on the table, lifted the pen line like flowing water, a stick of incense, only to see the peaks and peaks on the paper, the clear water like a mirror, the first light of the morning, like a shy girl, the green trees faintly, the shadows and shadows, the smoke is like a drifting cloud, far and near, at this time you seem to be between the mountains and rivers, standing quietly, everything is silent.

Mo Wen looked at the painting and sighed: "It's really a wonderful brush, it's a miracle!" I've seen you draw for so long, and you haven't taken it so seriously. ”

Twilight looked at him and smiled, "My painting is not good?" I think it's been a long time since you've seen me draw like this, so forget about it. ”

After speaking, the inscription is written in the blank space in the upper left corner of the painting.

Mo Wen beckoned to Xiao Si, and Xiao Si came over and carefully held the painting to a few judges.

A few judges took the painting, and they were shocked to see it, there are still such beautiful paintings in the world, a few people you take it and take a look, I will take a look at it, and then simply put it on the table and gather around to appreciate it.

Twilight looked at Xin Yao and saw that she was still looking down at her painting, and her serious look was very cute, so she held her chin with her hand and propped her arm on the table, watching quietly.

Mo Wen didn't bother him, and drank tea by himself.

Soon, two hours came, and Xiao Si came up to take away all the paintings and hand them over to a few judges.

Several judges looked at each other and shook their heads. After a while, I saw Mr. Yu from Yuelu Academy hand a painting to the presiding officer and whispered a few words.

The presiding officer stepped onto the stage and announced loudly: "The first place in today's books and paintings is Twilight Cloud Twilight Child, this is his painting. After saying that, he slowly walked around the platform holding the painting of Twilight Cloud, and everyone craned their necks to take a look at the painting, and the crowd exclaimed.

Jin Yao also saw it, and looked at Twilight Liuyun incredulously, is this what this thief painted? Does he have such talent?

But I have to admit that it is indeed extraordinary.

I feel sorry for my brother Wenbo.

The chief officer walked up to Twilight Liuyun and said, "Twilight Prince, the old man has something to ask for. ”

Twilight returned the salute, "But it doesn't hurt to speak. ”

The presiding officer held the painting in his hand and said: "Dusk Gongzi, can this painting be left to the old man, of course, I don't want it, I want to dedicate this painting to Your Majesty, can Dusk Gongzi be completed?" ”

"Of course, you can take it, it's okay." Mu Liuyun said politely

。

The presiding officer saw that the matter was done, and made a gesture: "Thank you, thank you." ”

At this moment, whether it was those arrogant official children or celebrities, they all looked at Twilight Liuyun with admiration.

The presiding officer came to the stage and shouted: "Today's leader is the prince of Duliuyun, who was given a pair of jade ruyi by the queen's mother. Invite Lady Twilight to come to the stage. ”

Xin Yao was very distressed when she heard it, and sighed, it was something she asked for from her mother yesterday, she thought that Brother Wenbo must win today, but she didn't expect to be preempted by the thief.

Twilight Liuyun came to the stage and took Yu Ruyi with his hand, and did not kneel, he was an immortal, how could he kneel to a mortal, he went down after making a salute, and threw Yu Ruyi to Mo Wen, and the presiding officer did not blame, and announced: "This is the end of today's Hundred Flowers Banquet." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people surrounded Twilight, all begging for paintings and words, and many women were caught in the middle, screaming excitedly. Fortunately, the twilight clouds flashed quickly, and Mo Wen was miserable, surrounded in the middle, and couldn't get out.

I can't use the immortal power, so I have to deal with it.

Xin Yao saw Du Wenbo sitting there lonely, stepped forward and said, "Brother Wenbo, are you okay?" It doesn't matter, there are several more. ”

Du Wenbo smiled at her: "Yao'er, if there is anything wrong, let's go." ”

Feng Sijiao, the daughter of the prime minister, saw Du Wenbo and the princess going for a walk, and stomped her feet angrily.

Soon, Du Wenbo and Xin Yao met Twilight Liuyun, it was not a coincidence, it was Twilight Liuyun who deliberately let them bump into each other. So the two sons greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

Xiao Tao followed behind Xin Yao, saw Twilight Liuyun, and nervously grabbed Xin Yao's arm: "Princess, princess, it seems to be the one in the restaurant!" ”

Xin Yao patted her hand and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, just don't see it." ”

Twilight Liuyun looked at Xin Yao and deliberately asked, "Where do you seem to have seen this girl?" What is the girl's last name? ”

Du Wenbo hurriedly introduced: "She is Princess Chu Chaoyang (Princess Xin Yao's title), her name is Xin Yao." ”

"Oh, I've seen the princess, the princess's pink dress is really good-looking, it sets off the princess's national color and fragrance, and her beauty is captivating." Twilight Liuyun praised sincerely, and actually approached Xin Yao, leaned down and whispered softly in Xin Yao's ear, "I know I like pink, is this for me?" ”

Xin Yao's face turned red all of a sudden: "You, you...... Daring! As a result, he couldn't say anything, turned to Xiao Tao and said hatefully, "Let's go!" ”

Du Wenbo looked inexplicable, nodded at Twilight Cloud, and followed.

Twilight suddenly felt that this Hundred Flowers Banquet was really special and interesting.
