The carriage stopped directly at the gate of Ning Wang's Mansion, and the gatehouse guarding Ning Wang's Mansion saw that the carriage was from Ming Wang's Mansion, and felt very strange, the carriage of Ming Wang's Mansion had never come to Ning Wang's Mansion.

However, the person who can guard the gate of King Ning's Mansion still has some eyesight, although he doesn't know why the carriage of King Ming's Mansion came, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him.

When Yang Dewen got down from the carriage, the concierge guarding King Ning's Mansion found that Yang Dewen who got off the carriage was very unfamiliar, and it was not the little prince Qin Xiaotian they knew.

"The little one has seen this distinguished guest, are you here for the banquet? If so, please show us your invitation. "Regardless of whether they know each other or not, there is still a number of etiquette that should be had, and none of the people who can come to the Ning Wangfu for a banquet are the ones they offended.

Yang Dewen was suddenly a little embarrassed, he came directly from the workshop of Leisurely Residence, and he didn't plan to come to Ning Wangfu for a banquet, so he really couldn't get an invitation card on his body now.

Yang Dewen gently pinched his nose with his hand and said: "There is an invitation, but I forgot to bring it with me, I bother to inform His Royal Highness King Ning, it means that Yang Dewen, the governor of Kangde County, has come to the banquet." Yang Dewen said politely.

Although Yang Dewen didn't want to talk to the eldest prince about anything, he didn't want him to hate him, and he didn't bring an invitation, which was originally his fault, so he was still very polite to the gatekeeper of Ning Wangfu.

The gatekeeper of King Ning's Mansion heard that the other party did not bring an invitation, but there was nothing strange, the people who came to attend the banquet of King Ning's Mansion, there were more people who did not bring invitations, but those people were the ministers of the court who often appeared in the Ning Palace, or the sons of the ministers of the court. Of course, these people are the most familiar with guarding the gatehouse of King Ning's mansion, so it doesn't matter if they bring invitations or not. The gatehouse guarding King Ning's Mansion can also be directly released and let them enter King Ning's Mansion by themselves.

But Yang Dewen is not suitable for guests who can be released casually, so they have to let Yang Dewen wait for the time being, and then send someone to the steward in charge of the banquet reception to report, as for whether to let it go, so that Yang Dewen can enter King Ning's mansion for the banquet, it is not up to them to make a decision.

The steward who was in charge of receiving the guests of the banquet, as soon as he heard what the porter said, the other party was only a county lieutenant of Kangde County, a small Mingzhou Prefecture, and said impatiently: "What are you kidding, you came to Ningwangfu on an errand on the first day?" A small county lieutenant, a big official with sesame mung beans, is he also qualified to come to the banquet of King Ning's Mansion?

I see that your houses are full of water in your heads, hurry up and drive away those irrelevant people, there are many dignitaries coming to the banquet today, don't bump into other guests, otherwise you can't afford to eat. ”

The steward who was responsible for receiving the banquet in King Ning's Mansion had a very good memory and ability to do things, so he was quickly promoted in King Ning's Mansion.

How many invitations did King Ning's Mansion send out for this banquet? After all, there were those people who came to the banquet, and he had already memorized these lists.

So when the porter came to report that there was a county lieutenant from Kande County, the capital of Mingzhou, who said at the door that he was going to come in for a banquet, he didn't need to turn over the roster to clearly know that this person was not invited to this banquet at all.

If some other important big man is coming, even if there is no invitation, he will deal with it carefully, even if he can't be the master himself, he will go to the front to find the chief manager to deal with it.

But a small county lieutenant obviously has no weight, and he can't afford to go to the chief manager for instructions, and if he has to ask for instructions from above, it won't show that he is too incompetent.

The concierge was reprimanded by the steward, and it was inevitable that he felt a little uncomfortable, and as soon as he came out, he said to Yang Dewen: "If there is no invitation, please leave here immediately, so as not to be seen by the steward and blame, we can't afford it." ”

"Are you sure you want me to leave King Ning's Mansion?" Yang Dewen asked a little funny.

"Distinguished guest, this is not a small one to let you go, it is our steward who said to let you go," the porter is not stupid, he knows what it means to be careful to sail a ship of ten thousand years, and the responsibility that can be shirked must not be borne by himself.

However, these are not important to Yang Dewen, in fact, even if Yang Dewen enters, he will not plan to stay for long, and after meeting and saying hello to the eldest prince, he will find an excuse to come out early.

Now that he doesn't have to go in, it's better for Yang Dewen, and he also saves the reason to make excuses.

In the front hall of King Ning's mansion, there were many guests who had already come to the banquet, and the eldest prince Qin Xiaotian accepted everyone's praise with a smile on his face, and he was also humble and polite at the right time, showing his virtues as a corporal of courtesy.

Everyone chatted and chatted, and it was natural to talk about the Oiran competition on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Have you heard, the little girl who came to the stage to fight poetry and arithmetic with the people of Huchu Country is the person next to Princess Yurong who came back from the people, and the brain melon seed is really too smart, and the three princes of Huchu Country are all embarrassed." A scholar-like man said loudly.

"It's not just a fighting poem, even the Mid-Autumn Festival song at the beginning of the bright moon, I heard that she wrote it at the beginning, and it is said that it was originally going to be handed over to the host of the Oiran competition, and it was read out on stage for auction.

As a result, it was disrupted by the Wenbi made by the people of Hu Chu Kingdom, and this Mid-Autumn Festival song that Mingyue had at what time was put in a drawer on a table by the host of the Oiran Contest.

In the end, this table was coincidentally used by Lord Zuo Xiangcen to write, and finally the king of the Guozijian and Lord Zuo Xiangcen were originally ready to admit defeat, and Lord Zuo Xiangcen inadvertently stained the white paper used to record poems, and planned to change it to a blank piece of paper. Another gentleman also couldn't wait to add the news that he had worked so hard to hear.

“……”

“……”

As soon as they talked about this topic, the scene suddenly became a lot more lively, and everyone thought that the news they heard was absolutely correct.

"Everyone doesn't have to quarrel anymore, I believe in the truth of this matter, His Royal Highness King Ning, the eldest prince, knows best, let's ask His Royal Highness King Ning to tell us the truth."

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Liu is right, please ask His Royal Highness King Ning to tell us in person, what is the truth of this competition! ”

"Ahem! Since everyone is very curious about the truth of this matter, it doesn't hurt for the king to tell you, the truth of this matter is definitely beyond your imagination. The eldest prince Qin Xiaotian said with a smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Ning, what is the truth? Please tell us about it! ”

The Great Prince Qin Xiaotian was very happy in his heart, he enjoyed this occasion very much, he knew far more truths than them, and these were the advantages of his status as the Great Prince of the Great Qin State.

"In fact, what everyone said is basically true, the little girl who participated in the competition on the stage is named Miao Miao, when Yurong Gongzhu fell into the people, he grew up in a village with him, and the relationship between the two is a very good relationship between the best friends in the boudoir, and the little girl's grandfather often helped Princess Yurong when Princess Yurong was suffering and starving, so this little girl's grandfather actually has the same kindness as saving her life for Princess Yurong.

Although that Miao Miao is very smart and clever, it is impossible for the wonderful words that Mingyue has when to write it from her, because although she has also learned some from Princess Yurong and can recognize a few words, but the time when he really went to study officially was only half a year after this year, so it was impossible for her to make such good poems. ”

"Ahh Princess Yurong actually suffered so much, she couldn't even eat enough, and she had to rely on alms to get by, these countrymen were so damned that even the princess dared not take care of them. A gentleman slapped the table and said indignantly.

After hearing this, many people looked at this person with the eyes of an idiot.

"Who in the village knows that she is a princess, and it is already very good to be able to raise her, are you stupid?" A scholar who was not used to seeing such a gentleman said sarcastically.

Gentleman: "......"

"Okay, let's be quiet, let's listen to His Royal Highness the Great Prince first, who wrote those two good poems!" Seeing that the scene was about to quarrel again, someone stopped and said.

"Don't worry, this great Qin genius behind the scenes, this king has invited him to the banquet today." The eldest prince Qin Xiaotian said loudly.

"I invite our Daqin genius, when will the lyricist Yang Dewen appear on the water tune song head Mingyue."

"Yang Dewen? Who is Yang Dewen? ”

"I seem to have heard of this name, it seems to be a little Xiucai from Mingzhou Mansion, who has written a few poems, among which there seems to be a poem called Jing Ye Si."

"Yes, yes, I remember when you say that, like what? Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. ”

“……”

“……”

…………

In the midst of everyone's discussions, the Great Qin genius named Yin Dewen still didn't appear at all.

The face of the eldest prince Qin Xiaotian slowly began to become gloomy and ugly.

The time for the banquet has arrived, and the eldest prince Qin Xiaotian never thought that the imperial brother-in-law named Yang Dewen would not come to the banquet.

"Butler, hurry up and ask the concierge if there is a person named Yang Dewen who has ever appeared." The eldest prince Qin Xiaotian said coldly.

"Yes! Your Highness! The old slave immediately went to check what was wrong. The old butler was startled, and he had realized that there was probably something wrong with the porter or steward.
