Chapter 4 Birth

The vermilion palace gate, the marble paved official road, the endless guests, just after the hour, the front of the Weiwang Mansion has been full of cars and horses. Wei Wang Zhao Yuanzuo is Zhao Guangyi's first adult eldest son, ranked third in the family, so also known as the three princes, Wei Wang was very smart when he was young, and his temperament has always been calm, and he was deeply loved by Zhao Guangyi.

It's just that Zhao Yuanzuo is quite a person, and the guests outside the invitation are not kept, and there is no more seat on the banquet table, and the nameless person has to go away, and even the Pan family brothers, who are now relying on their sister's power, have been invited out with great shame, and when it comes to the banquet, it is much more deserted.

The reason why Yang Yanzhao brothers are among their banquets, but also depends on the merits of his father Daizhou to command Yang Ye, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in the past, Zhao Yuanzuo went to the battlefield as a clan relative, Yang Ye took pity on him, and his subordinates were merciful at the critical moment, and replaced the blade with the back of the knife, Zhao Yuanzuo had respect for this Yang invincible at that time, since the Yang family returned to the Song Dynasty, Yang Ye was awe-inspiring, and the court had the same opinion with him, which doubled the favor of the three princes, and Liulang's refusal of three marriages in the capital made a lot of noise, and Zhao Yuanzuo also had a heart-to-heart acquaintance, Therefore, the invitation was specially handed to Tianbo Mansion, Yang Ye took his three sons to act in the state, and he couldn't come, so he asked Shiro to bring Liulang Qilang to the banquet, and the three brothers also carefully selected a piece of Tang Dynasty white porcelain as a birthday gift, so as not to lose the courtesy.

The banquet and drink in the main hall are all nobles of the clan, separated by bead curtains, with the number of full ceremonies, east and west ears, one for the courtiers, one for the female dependents, not far apart, and at the same time the front desk pond flowers bloom, singing and dancing.

Zhao Yuanwei had no intention of watching the song and dance at this time, so she only looked back and forth, and Zhao Fuping next to her asked, "What are you looking for!" ”

Zhao Yuanwei looked at her and responded, "It's strange, it's been this hour, why haven't Yun'er and Brother Eight Kings come yet." ”

Zhao Fuping smiled lightly, but he was not in a hurry, and said, "Xu is delayed, Xiyun went to the Nanqing Palace three days ago, and he will definitely come." ”

Before the words fell, I heard a hearty voice, and said with a smile, "Brother Sanwang, I'm late." ”

Everyone flashed, only to see that the eighth prince Zhao Defang was wearing an ink-colored straight robe, decorated with Tengyun dragon pattern, tied with a cyan jade belt around his waist, his posture was heroic, his facial features were clear, and the demure woman wearing an emerald wide-sleeved pleated skirt next to him was undoubtedly the eighth princess Di Jingke.

The two-eared officials hurriedly got up to greet him, and the clans also saluted, Zhao Yuanzuo greeted him with a smile and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late." Then he glanced behind him twice, but there was no one in sight, so he said, "Isn't Yun'er in your house?" Why didn't you come along. ”

Zhao Defang sighed softly and responded, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see her today." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yuanwei got up and asked.

"That girl, in order to prepare for your birthday, I have to go to the suburbs of Beijing to paint, that day the rain is quite heavy, the wind is not small, I came back from the wind cold, I went to see in the morning, just got rid of the fever, ate something, and the birthday gift was also entrusted to me to bring." Zhao Defang explained.

"You are also willful by her, the wind is full of power in the high pavilion, and your body is weak, so you can't draw the painting anywhere." The third prince complained in his mouth, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, how could he have his own reasons, so he was indebted, and then said, "After the banquet, I will go with the princess to have a look." ”

"Yes," the third princess responded, "and the concubine will order someone to prepare a high-quality mountain ginseng." ”

"There is no shortage of mountain ginseng in the Nanqing Palace" Zhao Yuanzuo turned around and looked at the third princess, "To see the royal sister, of course, you have to do what she likes." ”

The third princess understood, bowed down and said, "The concubine knows." ”

"Although she hasn't arrived yet, there are still novel methods." Zhao Defang took a seat and clapped his hands.

Zhao Yuanwei raised her hand to support her jaw, and said curiously, "Oh~ What kind of fun thing is this time." ”

After a while, I saw two large red lanterns slowly rising on the pavilion opposite, and from a distance, it seemed that the competition had cast an immortal spell and rose into the air.

"What's that?" Princess Zhao Qingyu of Tongchang got up and pointed to the opposite side.

"What's going on?" Seven Kings Zhao Yuankan asked in surprise: "Is it like a Kong Ming lantern." ”

"But there's no candle in there!" Zhao Fuping immediately denied it.

The clans here are speculating, and the officials in both ears are also talking, just when everyone is curious, they see the lantern stopped under the eaves, spit out two banners from below, and the one on the right side actually faintly appeared from top to bottom, causing everyone to cheer again, and after the exclamation, they heard the Seven Kings Yuan Kan read "Chitose Pan Tao Kaishou Domain." ”

"It turned out to be a birthday couplet." Zhao Yuanwei smiled slightly, "Why didn't you go down... Ah, Yun'er must be a couplet. ”

Zhao Defang only got up at this time, "This is a place for everyone to have fun, the upper couplet is written by the county lord himself, today's officials, there is a literary text, a good martial arts, if anyone can make the lower couplet, and can write it beautifully on this page, this birthday couplet will belong to whom." ”

"It's written directly on this banner!" Zheng Yin turned around and asked.

"That's right." Zhao Defang replied.

"This thing is soft, swaying in the wind, without support, and the words written must be crooked." Zheng Yin scratched his head unconsciously, "Baochen, are you okay?" ”

Gao Qiong raised his head and looked at it, "It's no problem to write, but it's difficult to say that you write beautifully." ”

Zhao Qingyu covered his lips and smiled, "Sister Yong'an, this question is difficult enough, this person not only has good kung fu, but also has to write a good hand, and most importantly, he must be knowledgeable and talented, and he is wonderful, I am afraid that few people can do it!" ”

After concentrating, they took advantage of the power of the big tree next to them to rise, but most of them were suspended in the air, and there was no result, only one person successfully held the corner of the banner, which attracted a round of applause.

"It's going to be beautifully written!"

I don't know who shouted, the pen that the man was about to drop slid in the air and swirled, just staggered the banner, a gust of wind came, and the banner was blown away, and the distance between the trees and the banner became farther away, Rao was that his arm was long enough to really not touch, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.

"Brother Five, come down! Don't fall. Zhao Yuanzuo shouted into the air, and then ordered, "Quickly help King Chen down." ”

Chen Wang Zhao Yuanxi was originally talking to a few familiar doormen under the corridor, but he was not in the main hall, when Zhao Defang came, he only listened to a few words intently, and only then did he show up.

I saw that he was dressed in a dark brocade dress, with beautiful eyebrows, although he was also the son of Zhao Guangyi, but compared to the three kings Yuanzuo was short, and the seven kings Yuankan were mediocre, he was the most outstanding one.

"Brother Eight Wang, this Shanglian, the royal sister wrote it on the case!" Zhao Yuanxi's tone was uneven, and he asked angrily.

"Yun'er is written in the air, don't make excuses for the five royal brothers." Zhao Defang grabbed the white, turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, the county lord is not deliberately embarrassed, if everyone feels that it is impossible to complete, then say the next link, and it is okay to write after taking it down." ”

Zhao Yuanxi spread his hands, clearly a little unwilling to admit defeat, "When she gets better, I will definitely go to ask for advice, I'm afraid that no one can write it well today, so let's take it off!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Chen, slow down" Gao Qiong hurriedly stopped, then looked at it again, and shouted at the West Pavilion, "Shiro Liulang, are you okay?" ”

Yang Yanzhao and the others had been watching over there for a long time, Qilang had been instigating the two elder brothers to go up, but Shiro Liulang had been secretly discussing and standing still, until they heard Gao Qiong's shout, they glanced at each other.

Shiro Yanhui has always been calm, and he was also disciplined by Yang Ye, and he never dared to be in the limelight, so Shi Li pushed and said, "Shiro is not talented." ”

"Rokuro is okay." Zheng Yin simply jumped under the West Corridor Courtyard, ran to his side and whispered, "What Sister Chai prepared, how can you not try it." ”

Yang Yanzhao was stunned when he heard this, and was about to explain, but Zheng Yin pulled him to the main hall with a grin, and Shiro Qilang also hurriedly followed.

The clans looked at them, and Zhao Yuanwei leaned sideways to whisper a few words to Zhao Fuping, and Zhao Fuping raised his eyes again, and his eyes unconsciously showed a little praise.

At this time, Zhao Defang's eyes were also led away by Liulang, and yesterday he learned about the suburbs of Beijing from Chai Xiyun's mouth, so he also heard about Liulang Qilang, these young people in front of him, Liulang in front of him was chic, Shilang in the back was elegant, Qilang was bright, and he was really high-spirited.

"Childe might as well give it a try." Zhao Defang pointed to the high platform, and Yang Yanzhao carefully measured the layout of the entire high platform, and took all the external forces that could be used into his eyes, before bowing and saluting, "Liulang is showing off." ”

Yang Yanzhao's borrowing point is different from the others, since the distance between the big tree and the red silk is very far, it is better to give up, what he values is the dozens of ribbons floating behind the lantern, although it is thinner, but it is better than nothing.

Liulang took the sheep's hair, jumped in three steps, jumped up and grabbed two ribbons, flew up with the help of strength, climbed a few steps, climbed to the high platform, only to discover the mystery of these two lanterns, it turned out that the lantern was hidden in the bracket, pulled by a thin line, and there was a small guy pulling around the railing below, but this thin line was similar to the color of the high platform, and there was red silk to cover, it was not easy to be noticed, so there was a scene that seemed to be the lantern flying by itself, and Liulang secretly praised the ingenuity in his heart.

At this time, he smeared the ink from the high table, pulled two pieces of red silk with one hand, slid off the size, clamped the corner of the banner with his legs, and began to put down the pen, the first word was just completed, and there was a cheer from the bottom, everyone held their breath and concentrated, only to hear Zhao Qingyu exclaim, "Yang Gongzi be careful." ”

Everyone looked at it again, but saw that the red silk supporting Rokuro was overwhelmed and had been slowly torn, and everyone had to regret that the banner that had just been decorated with three words was about to fail again, but Rokuro suddenly turned over, and the pen sped up, and the power of the red silk tearing was slowly stabilized, and the last stroke was almost completed at the same time.

"Nine Spring Colors Reflect the Glow" Zhao Fuping chanted softly, and at the end of her words, Zhao Yuanzuo, the three kings of the East this time, had already taken the lead in shouting, and the applause of the two corridors was endless.

Zhao Defang looked at it again, on the two banners swaying in the wind, on one side was the pretentious line of the dragon, and on the other side was the wild grass, covering the young man in the crescent-colored satin shirt below, with sideburns like a knife, eyes like the moon, and arrogance...... Okay, what a General Yang Liu.
