Climb the stairs and enter the 'Dome Palace', at this moment the hall has been full of lights like stars, the light is no less than the day, and the bronze music bell is like a clear spring. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Apparently, the dinner party has already begun.

On the high platform, Liu Si sat upright, and on both sides sat the three princes and Princess Pingyang, among these people, only Liu Han, the prince of Liu Han, he had never seen it, and it was just this opportunity that Liu Xi looked at this unmasked prince Liu Han who paid special attention to himself.

It seems to be different from Liu Si's majesty and coldness, Liu Feng's slightly chubby face is piled with a modest smile, which makes people not see the wealth and arrogance of the royal nobles, but with the shopkeeper who is good at running in the market, giving people a sense of kindness and amiability.

Without the previous encounter with the little prince Liu Hong, maybe Liu Xi would not doubt this kind smile for the time being, but since he already knew Liu Feng's attitude towards him in private, using this smile with Liu Xi at this moment would only make Liu Xi have a feeling of smiling and hiding a knife to kill people without seeing blood.

It seems that among the three sons of Liu Si, only this crown prince has the deepest city, and it needs to be guarded against.

Seeing Liu Xi enter the hall, Liu Han and the ministers who had already taken their seats all stopped laughing and talking in a low voice, and looked over in unison.

For a while, all eyes fell on Liu Xi's body, even the ceremonial master who played the music was distracted, and while striking the bronze bell, he secretly glanced towards Liu Xi.

Among the many gazes, there was one gaze that made Liu Xi notice a look of surprise.

Looking for his eyes, he saw that he was the head of Liu Han's courtiers, a person in black bronzing court clothes, and his status should be Liu Han's Pythagorean minister.

But why did he look at himself like that?

Liu Xi couldn't figure it out, but some things were so elusive.

"Zhong Aiqing, this is the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, Langzhong of the military department, Liu Xi."

After saying this, Liu Si waved his hand, and Tang Ruowen, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly ordered a few little eunuchs to buy a low case and a kneeling brocade.

After Liu Xi took his seat, the music and dance continued, the beautiful sound, the light gauze clothes, the soft limbs, if it was a different occasion, Liu Xi would quite like the scene in front of him.

But on a different occasion, according to his Liu Xi's temperament, I'm afraid he won't come out to appreciate it like this.

After a dance, it was the crown prince Liu Feng who raised his glass with a smile and said, "For the sake of his son's own private affairs, it has been very hard for my father and all of you, and today I will use this thin glass of wine to thank my father for his grace and your great help." ”

After that, Liu Feng drank it all, although Liu Si did not make a sound, but picked up the cup and took a sip on the side of his mouth, this time, the courtiers in the hall said that they did not dare to say anything, and each drank the wine in the cup.

Liu Xi is also not good at being an independent chicken, so he drank the wine in the cup, and when he put down the cup, he only felt that there was a gaze staring at him above his head.

It seems that someone is going to attack him.

Sure enough, after a while, Liu Xi heard Liu Fu's lazy voice coming, "Father, the son heard that the envoy of the Tang Kingdom was the first to pull out three yuan, which can be described as the talented champion of the Tang Kingdom, and my Han has always been a gift to Shangxian, and it just so happens that the son of Lord Peng is the champion of the current department, so you might as well let them each write a poem, and it should also be a friend of the Han and the Tang Kingdom, and it will definitely become a good story in the future." ”

Liu Xi looked up at Liu Fu, who was still holding the jade wrench, and only felt that there was a nameless fire in his heart.

After Liu Fu spoke, Liu Si nodded slightly, and looked towards the right side of the main hall, where a thin figure stood up, "Weichen is willing to have a discussion with the champion of the Tang Kingdom, and ask the Holy Lord for permission." ”

The man was dressed in brocade clothes, and after saying this, he turned his head to look at Liu Xi, and his eyes were full of provocation and contempt.

"That's right, poetry and the like should be unbounded, so you two can write a poem at will."

Liu Si said in a deep voice, and Tang Ruowen, who was waiting on the side, was busy ordering someone to fetch the four treasures of the study for Liu Xi and the person surnamed Jinyi Hu.

Immediately, the 'Dome Hall' suddenly became silent for some reason, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two who were taking the written exam.

Naturally, Liu Xi understood that most of these Liu Han courtiers were watching his jokes, and perhaps only Liu Hong, who was still young and ignorant of the world, smiled just because of curiosity, without the slightest hint of other whims.

Not far away, Liu Han's champion seemed to have thought of something, and in his excitement, he picked up the pen and wrote a book, while Liu Xi was still sitting still, this scene looked at the eyes of others, and immediately there were a few more sneering disdainful laughter.

Soon, Liu Han's champion put down his pen, turned his head and saw that Liu Xi was still sitting quietly and did not move, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and his face was full of smugness.

"Cherish the flowers and fall into the red mud, and the spring is a few folds and thin water. The blue water flows east and always returns to the west, and the phoenix is free to fly towards a hundred birds. ”

A senior official stepped forward curiously, and read out the verses he had made, even if Liu Xi didn't want to hear it, but there were many people who echoed it, so it was naturally going to enter his ears.

Hearing this poem, Liu Xi couldn't help but smack his mouth secretly, sure enough, this so-called written test of Fu Shi Yiwen will be used to show off Liu Han, and this champion Lang is also quite to the effect that Liu Si wants.

The current country name of the Tang Emperor is Yongxi, and the first two sentences of this poem are the homonym Yongxi homonym, but it is reversed, and this intention can be imagined. As for the last two sentences, even a foolish person can see the meaning of these words.

Naturally, as soon as this poem came out, it attracted a lot of applause, even Liu Si, who had been straining his face, quietly picked up the wine glass alone and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Under the many praises, Liu Xi smiled and lifted the pen, because he knew that if he didn't write something, it would make Liu Si very proud.

And anything that makes Liu Si happy, he Liu Xi doesn't want to see.

Liu Xi picked up the pen, and someone surrounded him, and as his pen rose and fell, he recited the poems on the rice paper word by word.

"Outside the mountain, when will the song and dance in Chang'an be closed? The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and only the western capital is made of Dongling. ”

When they could read the first three sentences, although these Han Dynasty officials who were familiar with the scriptures were not convinced, they also really admired Liu Xi in their hearts, and even more so that the font with gold hooks and silver strokes jumped on the rice paper, vigorous and powerful, as if they were about to break the paper.

But by the last sentence, these people who were subconsciously shaking their heads were all white-faced, and no one dared to recite them, and they returned to their seats one after another, as if they had seen something so frightening, and they wanted to hurriedly draw a line.

"Smack!"

The cup fell heavily on the desk, and it was obvious that after listening to Liu Xi's work read out in Tang Ruowen's sharp voice, Liu Si's face was gloomy and scary, and his triangular eyes were full of Xiao Xi's cold meaning.

Obviously, this Liu Han's king can't listen to these words, and this is exactly what Liu Xi wants, after all, with his Liu Han's champion provocation in front, no matter how small Liu Si's strength is, he will not blame him on this occasion.

In this way, the silence in the hall is terrifying, and the atmosphere becomes very strange.

"Father, I heard that Sister Mu was coming to dance, why didn't I see her come out?"

At this time, only Princess Pingyang can speak, it is rumored that Liu Si loves this only daughter very much, and regards it as the pearl of the palm, among them, a great component belongs to Princess Ping'an's well-behaved and sensible ability to distinguish the situation.

It was now that she was able to expose this embarrassing situation very well.

Glancing at Liu Xi deeply, Liu Si finally nodded, and Tang Ruowen, who was waiting next to him, hurriedly shook off the dust, and the sharp voice sounded again, "Lord Xuanyu Yao enters the hall!" ”

Hearing this voice, Liu Xi couldn't help frowning slightly, who is this Mu girl in the mouth of Princess Pingyang, and she actually has the title of county lord.

You must know that the two people who are brothers and sisters with Liu Si are no longer in the world, except for him, the two have no blood, and this woman is surnamed Mu, obviously not the queen of the royal family.

But who of the important ministers of the Liu Han Dynasty can have an heir to be named the county lord?

Just when Liu Xi didn't understand what he wanted to break, several handsome women in white walked in barefoot carrying a round thing decorated with cloud brocade ribbons.

Looking at the surprised eyes all around, Liu Xi understood that not only did he not see what was going on, but even these Liu Han courtiers who often watched the Yuyao County Lord dance were also confused.

It seems that this Yuyao County Lord is a person who is good at changing tricks.

When the music started again, the women in white took the lead in moving, dancing around the colored balls, which didn't seem to move at all, and seemed to be just a prop placed between several dancers.

But these dancers are all moving around the colored balls, and obviously, that's what really catches the eye.

"Zheng ......"

The strings suddenly hummed low, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, the colored balls cracked, and a woman in a green dress and gauze skirt danced and appeared.

It seems that this is the Lord of Yuyao.

This appearance immediately attracted the applause of many courtiers, and the little prince Liu Hong was even more elated and wanted to rush off the stage, but fortunately Princess Pingyang pulled him down, otherwise Liu Hong was very likely to mess up this dance when he was happy.

In all fairness, the dance in front of him is indeed amazing, Liu Xi never thought that he could see such a good dancer, the whole body seems to be boneless, although he can do it now, but he can't dance this elegant dance.

Picked up the wine cup and took a sip gently, the current scene, I am afraid that it is the only thing that can make him pleasing to the eye in this Liu Han land.

The rhythm of the music gradually became waves, like a river flowing slowly and then surging again, listening to this change, Liu Xi knew that the dance in front of him was about to enter the most exciting time, and couldn't help but put down the cup he was holding.

Sure enough, I saw several white-clothed women stretching out their palms around the colored balls, and the green-clothed Yuyao County Lord jumped up, and under the fluttering clothes, he actually stood on the palm of his hand and danced softly again.

Seeing this scene, there was another cheer in the entire hall, and even Liu Si showed a rare smile.

Liu Xi couldn't help but subconsciously admire, "The light body can dance in the palm of your hand, I can't imagine that there is such a spectacle in the world." ”

Although the voice was low, Liu Xi noticed that the dancing Yuyao County Lord seemed to glance at him, or maybe it was an illusion, and he smiled and picked up the cup again, and Liu Xi drank it himself.

The dance of the county lord of Yuyao can be regarded as the highlight of the whole feast, followed by watching the dance and eating wine, because of the previous poetry competition, so no one is making things difficult for Liu Xi, but the verbal squeeze is always inevitable, and these Liu Xi naturally will not take it to heart.

After the feast was full, Liu Xi and Liu Si were about to leave when they arrived at the ceremony, and the latter sent a little eunuch to lead him out of the palace.

Walking along the eaves of the corridor full of palace lights, the little eunuch obviously knew Liu Xi's identity, so the two were silent all the way, and they walked quietly.

"Lord Liu, please stay."

Behind him, a crisp sound came, Liu Xi turned around, but saw the woman in white who was dancing with the county lord of Yuyao before.

It should be the maid of the county lord of Yuyao.

The woman in white stepped forward and handed over the red carved box in her hand, "The county lord of my family heard that the adults have learned people, so he specially ordered to send the four treasures of the study, and gave a small gift, in order to thank the adults for their tiring work to escort the crown princess." ”

There was some surprise, but Liu Xi still thanked him and accepted the gift, and waited out of Liu Han's imperial city to pass the royal street where the heavy soldiers patrolled.

In the night, Xiao Wu was waiting in front of the carriage with his sword in his hand.

Seeing Liu Xi, Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward, and after asking a few words, after knowing that everything was safe, he drove Liu Xi away slowly by moonlight.

In the Imperial City of Liu Han behind him, in the palace full of pearls, Liu Fu casually picked up the white jade horse on the table and played with it, and soon, a figure walked in.

"Second Highness, as you expected, someone was sent over there."

Carefully looking at the mutton fat white jade horse in his hand, Liu Fu shook his head with a smile, "My brother always looks like a house-hearted person, so that his subordinates will be so bold, thinking that it is for the master to remove the big trouble from his henchmen, maybe it will cause trouble, who can say this thing?" ”

"Second Highness, then this matter should be ......"

Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Fu said very interestingly, "I don't know about this matter, maybe tomorrow the entire Chang'an City will spread the news that the prince killed Li Tang's envoys, will it be a little interesting?" ”

"Second Highness, rest assured, this matter must have been done by the crown prince, and not only Chang'an City, but even Najialing City will soon know about it."

The messenger also showed a smile, but this smile had a distorted hideous color.
