Flower Viewing Banquet (2)

Lethe Pavilion is close to the flower field, and when you are in the pavilion, the pleasant fragrance of flowers will slowly float in, making you feel relaxed and happy. Pieces of flower fields of different shapes are closely bordered, and the green leaves drag the flowers, like a large piece of jadeite inlaid with all kinds of strange treasures and stones, gorgeous and colorful, so beautiful.

The ladies like to stand in the flower field, dance the light skirt, feel the charming fragrance of flowers, and attract the eyes of the attic.

In the loft of Lethe, people have come to register with paintings one after another. A man in an apricot yellow dragon-patterned brocade robe sat in the first place, looking proud. The second person in the lower left sits a young man dressed in a milky white brocade robe with gentle eyebrows and eyes. At the bottom right of the first sits today's host, Bicheng Gongzi. The first place in the lower left and the second in the lower right are suspended in the air.

"Everyone, Ling Chen has ordered someone to serve the best tea, let's try it first. We'll start judging in a moment." Shangguan Lingchen didn't feel a little anxious when he looked at the empty seats, but greeted everyone with a relaxed face.

For about a quarter of an hour, the crown prince, who was sitting in the first place, looked displeased, "Prince Bicheng, don't let everyone wait too long."

"It is a sin to make so many people wait for this king." Before Shangguan Lingchen could speak, he heard a voice coming. Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinsi and Ji Yueduan walked in from the door side by side. Ji Yueduan was about to walk to the side when Gu Jinsi held her hand, and walked straight to the lower right position.

Everyone got up and saluted, Gu Jinsi just nodded and ignored it, and said directly to Shangguan Lingchen, "Ah Chen, you sit over there."

Shangguan Lingchen smiled, got up and sat down in the first place on the lower left. The prince sitting in the first place is like sitting on pins and needles, he is the prince who should be sitting in the first place, Gu Jinsi used to naturally sit in the first place, and today he wants to let him know their status. But Gu Jinsi didn't care about it at all.

"Miss Ji is afraid that it is not suitable to sit here", Ji Yichang's resentment in his heart was difficult to relieve, and he didn't dare to target Gu Jinsi, so he had to pick Ji Yuedu.

Hearing this, Ji Yuedu's face was flat, and she just got up lightly and said to the prince, "Whether Yuedui can sit here or not is not up to the prince."

"You...... Don't rely on the Nine Emperor Uncles to dare to speak wildly to this prince", the prince pointed to Ji Yuedu's hands trembling.

"Yuedui is not disrespectful to the prince, it's just that Yuedusk should sit here as a judge."

"When did you become a judge, why doesn't Prince Ben know".

"Xiao Shu'er was invited by this king, does the prince think that this king doesn't know people clearly, or does he have to report to you for everything." Gu Jinsi looked at the prince with a smile.

"Nine Emperor Uncle, this prince doesn't mean that." The anger on Ji Yichang's face disappeared instantly, and he hurriedly explained.

"Then what do you mean, this king should listen carefully today." Gu Jinsi's smile deepened.

Seeing that they were a little tense, the prince of Bicheng immediately got up and played a round game, "Ah Jin, I blame me for not explaining this matter to the prince, so I caused such a big misunderstanding." I am here to make amends to you and punish myself with a cup." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

The little boy also got up, first respectfully saluted Gu Jinsi and the crown prince, and then said in a gentle voice, "Nine Emperor Uncles, Imperial Brothers, Yixi really wants to see the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, I wonder if the Nine Emperor Uncles and Imperial Brothers can understand Yixi's impatient mood."

The words of the third prince were like a spring breeze blowing on their faces, which made Gu Jinsi and Ji Yichang's expressions improve a lot.

"Today, the king will not care, but next time someone slanders the king's little sister, then the king will let him taste the miserable taste." , then got up and helped Ji Yuedu, who was still in a saluting posture on the side, and arranged for her to sit down before saying, "Yixi, you sit down." Dust, let's start now."

Shangguan Lingchen nodded, then turned to everyone and said, "I have ordered people to sort and register your paintings one by one. Qingshu, submit it".

After all the paintings were submitted, Shangguan Lingchen announced the judging rules, "There are a total of 120 here, each judge has 24 copies, and one judge only selects one." In the end, the winner will be chosen from the five to be chosen." After speaking, he looked at the prince, "His Royal Highness the prince, I don't know if the final decision is up to you or ......."

"It's up to the Nine Emperor Uncles to decide." The prince's face was forbearing.

"Okay, then wait a minute. Qingshu, divide the paintings and present them to the judges".

In about half an hour, everyone picked a copy in their hands. Gu Jinsi held a picture of the spring water of Hibiscus in his hand, and the afterglow skimmed the moon and the moon. This girl let herself do what she did to get this picture, and now she wants to be a villain herself, what a clever and ruthless girl.

"Who made painting number 47". Gu Jinsi suddenly spoke, making the originally noisy attic instantly quiet.

A woman dressed in a jeweled dress and a peach-pink brocade skirt got up and bowed softly, "Back to the prince, it was made by the concubine."

"Oh? The work is good, and the king wants to know the artistic conception of this painting."

"When the concubine saw that the flower was blooming well, she was overjoyed and followed the painting." The woman's voice is delicate, and it makes people feel pity when they listen to it.

"Then who can see the mood of this painting."

Everyone was silent, and the owner of the painting did not know. How do they know that the prince is not embarrassed.

At this time, a woman wearing a Lingyun bun and a goose-yellow dress slowly got up, and after a dignified salute, she said, "The courtiers were overjoyed when they saw this painting, and wanted to talk about their humble opinions."

After seeing Gu Jinsi nodding, the woman said, "In the painting, the hibiscus is in full bloom in a large area of sludge, still with the same grace, and the clear and turquoise spring water in the distance. The courtiers thought that the owner of the painting wanted to express that she was still proud of the world despite living in the mud, and that the spring water in the distance was the reason and hope for her persistence. Courtier's humble opinion".

"Good! Girl from which house are you?"

"Back to the prince, Ye Ziqiu of the Ye family".

"Where's your painting?"

"One hundred and twenty".

Gu Jinsi ordered someone to bring the painting, the whole painting was mixed with stones and sludge, and small white flowers were competing to open in the cracks, so tenacious. After reading it, he directly handed it to Ji Yueduan next to him.

"Xiao Shu'er, what do you see?"

"Light and darkness coexist around us, but as long as there is light in our hearts, we can survive even in the cracks of darkness."

"Thank you Miss Ji for speaking my heart", Ye Ziqiu glanced at Ji Yueduan gratefully.

"Take the others and show them to the king."

Qingshu took the paintings of the other four people to Gu Jinsi, and he looked at it for a long time before saying, "This king looks at this fiery red water lily well, who painted it."

A girl in a pink flower dress got up happily, "Back to the prince, it is the courtier Li Yuyan."

"Is there a saying?"

When the courtiers saw this flower, they thought of the noble girl in Yun'an City, pure and flawless, delicate and dusty, which is in line with the flower language of this water lily. So I wanted to draw them and praise them." Li Yuyan is not like Ye Ziqiu, when she speaks, she always looks at these sons in the first place with a gentle afterglow.

"You have a heart, but this king still thinks that Miss Ye's flowers are atmospheric, I don't know what you think."

Shangguan Lingchen announced the winner when he saw that no one was speechless, and in addition to that, he also left a suspense for everyone.

"Half a life of floating dreams has arranged a theater garden, a book garden, and a painting garden, and you can choose according to your preferences. In the evening, Ling Chen is here to thank his benefactors, and I hope you will enjoy the light."
