Chapter 284: Snatching the Flower Ball [Third Update]

Before he could say anything to Zhou Heng, a eunuch over there had already walked in front of the prince, and at the same time, a drum had been placed in the center of the hall.

"Your Highness, the drums and flower balls have been prepared, I wonder who will beat the drums to show justice?"

The prince looked around at the crowd, if the minister was allowed to play the drum, it was obviously a little unfair to the boy who was too learned here, if he let the young people beat the drum, many people would not be convinced, it was indeed difficult to decide, and finally his eyes fell on the old eunuch again.

"It's not appropriate for this palace to look at others, so this errand will be done by Gonggong He, but you have to blind your eyes, and the two flower balls are passed on the left and right sides, which cannot be surpassed."

Gonggong He hurriedly said yes, asked the little eunuch to send the flower ball to the head of the seats on both sides, and then took out a thick handkerchief from his sleeve, folded it several times, and covered his eyes, and then the little eunuch helped him to the drum.

With a light cough, he clenched his fists to the sides and said:

"The old slave is just ordered to beat the drum, and it is also a happy event for you to get the flower ball, to have such an opportunity to show, the old slave is here to congratulate you, if you lose temporarily, it is just a game, don't be angry with the old slave! The old slave really can't afford it, so I'm here to make a mess for you! ”

Father-in-law He's words immediately made everyone present laugh.

The atmosphere in the main hall was more relaxed, and the prince glanced sideways at everyone, and when he saw that the flower ball was ready, he raised his hand slightly.

A little eunuch standing beside Grandpa He hurriedly said a word to Grandpa He, who raised his arms and began to beat the drum.

The voice is not very loud, but it is extremely coherent and rhythmic, and it sounds like the opening posture of Peking Opera, needless to say that this person also likes to watch these things.

The flower balls passed in each seat with the sound of drums, and Zhu Yunmo was a little nervous, but he still felt interesting, after all, the scene was lively.

Zhou Heng squinted his eyes and stared at the table opposite, just before Zhu Xiaochang got up to speak, they seemed to be muttering for a while, as if they were discussing something, but the person who beat the drum was blindfolded, and he was still a person next to the prince, so he probably wouldn't cheat.

Could it be that he thinks too much, but Zhu Xiaochang wants to be in the limelight?

There is no doubt about this, he is a leader in Taixue, so the banquet naturally wants to be in the limelight, blindly showing off is boring, if there is an opportunity to show, but also unintentionally show his talent, this is amazing.

Just thinking about it, the flower ball swept over Zhou Heng's head and didn't fall into his hands at all, and the person next to him didn't pass it to the next person in order, but grabbed it in a panic and threw the flower ball directly into the front row.

Something that suddenly fell in the air, the man hurriedly pushed it, and flew directly towards Zhu Yunmo, Zhu Yunmo grabbed the flower ball and hurriedly gave it to the seat on the right.

But at this moment, the drumming stopped.

Zhu Yunmo subconsciously scolded him, but he tried his best to control his expression, just holding the flower ball and laughing, and by coincidence, the flower ball really fell into Zhu Xiaochang's hand.

Zhu Xiaochang hurriedly got up, lifted the flower ball, and bowed to the prince and Zhu Yunmo respectively.

"Today is a good luck, I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of Xiaochang for the first time, so I will offer a poem first."

As he spoke, he put the flower bulb on the table, and he didn't look down at the paper in front of him, but just shook his head and thought about it and said:

"The elephant costume is two temples in the Chinese New Year, and the birthday is Jiaping, why not have a banquet at the beginning of the snow, and the house is full of laughter and wishes Ruiling."

Zhou Heng was stunned, obviously this Zhu Xiaochang was a poem made temporarily, this sentence is very appropriate to the occasion, the scene of festive costumes, and the celebration of his birthday, the snow outside is clear, the house is full of joy, and finally the name of the prince's son Zhaorui is also pointed out at the scene, from the perspective of literary accomplishment alone, Zhu Yunmo is definitely not his opponent.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yunmo finished speaking, everyone present applauded in unison.

For his performance, everyone is naturally very optimistic.

Zhu Yunmo stood up at this time and saluted the prince, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

Zhu Yunmo has not been treated well by these people since she was a child, especially in the royal family, few people know anything about her, and even if she knows, she only knows that he has a stubborn illness and is extremely disgusted.

He was abandoned in Qingping County for many years, and as for his knowledge, how the Confucians who were sent to teach left angrily were all known by the Wen family.

Seeing Zhu Yunmo standing indifferently, everyone instantly quieted down, quietly waiting for Zhu Yunmo's reaction.

The prince wanted to raise his hand to stop it, after all, he didn't want Zhu Yunmo to make a fool of himself, and the people he finally invited lost face here, and his face was dull, and before the prince could speak, Zhu Yunmo began to say aloud:

"The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August. Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. ”

As Zhu Yunmo finished speaking, the hall instantly quieted down, a straw bale, a boy raised in the countryside, was still disgusted by those Confucians, but although this poem was a simple word, it instantly brought everyone to the snowy outdoors.

Zhu Xiaochang's poems are gorgeous, and they also cater to the banquet, and the names of the six sons of the prince are hidden in them.

The prince was very happy, and quickly asked Zhu Yunmo to sit down, looked around, and looked at everyone.

"I don't know what you think? Since I said that I want to judge, let's evaluate the two poems. ”

The kid who had framed Zhou Heng before Taixue hurriedly stood up and saluted the prince.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the students think that Zhu Xiaochang's poems are more appropriate for the topic, so the winner should be Zhu Xiaochang's son of Ning Wangfu."

The prince looked at Zhu Yunmo again, and a man with a three-bead crown sitting on Zhu Yunmo's head stood up and saluted the prince and said:

"Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks that the prince of King Ning has opened our eyes today, such a poem actually makes me feel like a horse in the snowfield, this open-mindedness and pride, let the younger brother admire, as for the winner, it is naturally Zhu Yunmo."

Then the hall began to discuss continuously, saying everything, the two parties argued, and the prince raised his hand.

"It's really hard to weigh, this palace feels that there is no need to score high or low, and can get two masterpieces, even if today's banquet is not held in vain, Zhu Yunmo and Zhu Xiaochang both won, and they will give gifts."

The two little eunuchs walked in quickly, walked to the two of them with trays, and put down the gifts, Zhu Yunmo didn't open them, but was a little worried, and when he put the gifts on his side, he turned around and glanced at Zhou Heng.

Eagerly said:

"What if it's my turn next time?"

Zhou Heng poked him, and with a look at his sleeve, a note had already fallen on Zhu Yunmo's palm.

"Don't worry, I've been prepared, and it's no problem ten times, but this has already chosen you once, and it will be difficult for it to fall to you next time, if it really falls...... Then it's deliberate. ”

Zhu Yunmo paused, thought about Zhou Heng's words carefully, turned around and glanced at him, as if he noticed something, but he still sat down, he still had to endure it at this time, after all, he couldn't explain anything at once.

Soon, Grandpa He was ready again.

The drum began, and this time the flower ball flew out directly from Zhu Yunmo's hand and flew in the direction of the prince, Zhu Yunmo saw the flower ball flying down there for a long time, and his heart instantly calmed down.

After going around for a week, the drumming did not stop, Zhou Heng was a little surprised, and peeked at Gonggong He in the center of the main hall, his drum beat was fast and slow, but he didn't peek, but the little eunuch beside him reached out and pulled Gonggong He's sleeve.

Zhou Heng squinted, needless to say, the cat was at the little eunuch, Zhou Heng looked at the opposite side, and sure enough, those people also quickly passed the flower ball to Zhu Xiaochang.

As soon as Zhou Heng raised his eyes, he saw the man beside Zhu Yunmo, who was about to smash Zhu Yunmo when he raised the flower ball, Zhou Heng quickly stood up at this time, the flower ball was out of his hand, and Zhu Yunmo was stunned, completely at a loss.

Zhou Heng, who stood up, stretched out his hand to grab the flower ball in his palm and raised it high.

At this time, the drumming stopped, and Zhu Xiaochang, who was in the opposite seat, also stood up, with a dissatisfied face, raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Heng and said:

"How can you be so unreasonable?"

Zhou Heng held the flower ball with a smile on his face, looked around for a week, and saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and then said:

"I remember that Zhu Xiaochang didn't say that he couldn't grab the flower balls? This unreasonable word is difficult for Zhou to use! ”
