The princess's mansion rose for the first day, overwhelming half of the city to connect Yunyu.

The princess of Zhenguo Taiping was prominent in the two dynasties, and her mansion has been carefully operated for decades, accounting for most of the place, and the gorgeous and luxurious places are not far behind the inner palace.

Tang Cheng and Li Longji entered the princess's mansion together, and on the way, they opened the curtain of the car around them and saw the scene of this piece of house and eaves fighting, Rao is he couldn't help but look a little stunned when he came from the later generations, the princess's mansion is too big, compared to the mansion in front of him, even the palace of the prime minister of Anguo is nothing, not to mention the so-called mansions and villas in the later generations.

Looking through the car window, in addition to the many houses in the princess's mansion at this moment, there are many young scholars, outside the car window, one by one the scholars dressed in green Confucian clothes or walking alone, or groups of three or five from the gatehouse to the inner courtyard, these scholars are envious of the glorious and magnificent mansion in front of them, while casting an interested gaze on the passing felt car.

As scholars, they naturally know that only those who are above the third grade are eligible to ride the felt car, and then think about the etiquette of the princess's mansion, those who are not above the prince are not allowed to drive straight into the second door, so in the felt car in front of them is the prince and noble?

These scholars who rushed to the capital to take the examination came from all over the world, and it was a great honor to see a scholar in the local area before, and if they were received by the history of the assassination, it would simply be the smoke of the ancestral tomb, and it was worth writing a few articles to commemorate and pass on to the descendants. At this moment, being in the imperial capital, invited by the princess to be a guest, the prince's carriage passed by his side, and he was in such a dreamlike glory, and suddenly he felt that he seemed to be a lot more glorious, and he witnessed Tang Cheng's felt car passing by. Almost subconsciously these people straightened their waists and raised their heads.

"Your Highness take a look outside", raising the curtain of the car in his hand, Tang Cheng turned back to Li Longji and smiled: "There are at least two hundred people who came to participate in the Wenhui today. Take one out of ten, and the princess will use this literary meeting to catch the best of today's scholars."

Li Longji looked out the window at the scholars who were running together at the princess's gate. Looking at the excitement that these scholars couldn't hide under their pretense of reserve, he said quietly: "It's not been a year or two for the princess to do this, but now among the temple supervisors in the imperial city, the princess's letter of worship may even be more useful than the edict of the Son of Heaven. This situation is not without a cause, it comes from a reason."

Tang Cheng nodded after hearing this, and said with a shallow smile: "In the past, when Emperor Taizong was in the court, he went to the Vermilion Bird Gate of the imperial city on the day of a certain scientific expedition to observe the examination, and when he saw the soldiers of the city pouring in, Emperor Taizong once laughed and said: The world's talents are all in my bag today, and the princess's move is really a full display of Emperor Taizong's legacy."

As a woman, Princess Taiping is on a par with the founding Emperor Taizong. Tang Cheng's words were really taboo, and as soon as he finished speaking, Li Longji's eyes fell back from the window and fell on him like nails.

Under Li Longji's scorching gaze, Tang Cheng's face did not change at all, he did not deliberately look at Li Longji, he only turned his head to look at the soldiers coming and going outside the car window, and said in a deep voice: "The road is long, and it will definitely go up and down to seek." This is what I can do with my heart. Although he died nine times, he still did not regret it. If you want to reproduce the great cause of Emperor Taizong. Achieved the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness has a long way to go. It's a song! ”。

"It's hard to get there. It's a song! ”。 Li Longji withdrew his gaze. For a moment, there was only his muttered voice in the big felt car: "This rest of my heart is good." Although he died nine times, he still did not regret ......".

After a while, the felt car arrived at the second gate of the princess's mansion. The car had just stopped. The subordinate officials of the princess's mansion who were already waiting at the door greeted them.

"Perfect. Since it is not convenient to introduce the princess to you in public. Then you go back to the back garden first. When the king has seen the princess and arranged a private meeting, someone will come to call you." After returning to normal, Li Longji said a word to Tang Xuan. He got out of the car and was accompanied by the officials of the princess's mansion.

Tang Cheng knew the day before yesterday that there was today's meeting. Because she is the invitee, Princess Taiping's status is prominent. Tang Cheng, like other scholars who came to the meeting, was not too casual in dressing. is also dressed in a Taoist Confucian robe. After he got out of the car and walked into the group of scholars. Suddenly it was everyone's attention.

Wear two doors and three doors. Under the guidance of the princess's mansion on the side of the road. Tang Cheng walked into a cross-courtyard located at the end of the mansion with the other scholars. This cross-courtyard landlord building is a row of up to five ground wings. The five wings are usually divided into different rooms by a heavy dark curtain. and then put away the curtain when something like this happens. A row of five rooms becomes a large hall when they are connected into one.

The Tang Dynasty was in a period of transition from the split food system to the combined food system. When families are together, they usually gather around a table and eat together, as in the future generations. But as formal gatherings and feasts as they are now, they are still eaten in accordance with the Spring and Autumn Rites. When Tang Cheng walked into the room. I saw that the entire hall had already been neatly arranged to divide the food. Many of them were already seated in small places.

After reporting his name to the waiting servants, Tang Cheng was taken to a window near the front row.

Tang Cheng followed the appearance of other scholars and sat half-kneeling on the felt carpet in front of the short table, this kind of sitting posture is nothing to watch on TV, but it is really uncomfortable when he practices it himself, and he is not like other scholars who have been specially trained since childhood, after kneeling for a while, his calves and heels are sore.

People don't even give a stool to the banquet", after complaining in a low voice, Tang Cheng, who no longer wanted to live and suffer, simply gave up this hellish half-kneeling and sat cross-kneeled instead, and sitting half-kneeling on the formal banquet occasion is an ancient ritual handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, and scholars who are scholars should obey it more awe-inspiring on such occasions.

"Where did this madness come from? Zhenguo Taiping Princess's Mansion dares to be so rude? ”。

"Self-denial and revenge, the earnest legacy of this holy teacher, as a scholar and so wanton, insult Sven, insult Sven!"

Although the discussion next to him was clearly audible, Tang Cheng didn't change his posture, just look at it. What's there? You know if your legs and feet are comfortable or not. Rather than waiting for the cultural meeting to start and writhing around and faux pas, it's better to sit comfortably now.

The discussion in the hall didn't last long before it suddenly disappeared without a trace, and when Gu Zi looked at Tang Cheng in the back garden outside the window and turned his head in surprise, he saw a team of female musicians dressed up outside the hall on the other side. It was they who diverted the attention of the bored scholars in the hall waiting for the opening of the table.

"Look, the leader of the comb and the fairy bun is Liang Panpan, the oiran who oppresses the imperial capital."

"She is Liang Panpan of Furong Building? Sure enough, the face is like a hibiscus and the eyebrows are like willows. What a charming and delicate Oiran lady".

"Liang Panpan is beautiful, but after all, she is old, you look at the little lady behind her, this is really a natural romance." After the voice said this, "tsk" praised twice, and then continued: "If you talk about the prosperity of the flower name in the city today, you have to push this young Yazhengyuan Qiweaving."

Tang Cheng turned his head to look at this discussion, and saw Liang Panpan of Furong Lou who was picking up his skirt and entering the hall, this famous Oiran was really as beautiful as a flower, and it was even more rare that her whole body exuded a demure and gentle style. Make his whole person look graceful, and I feel pity.

Compared with Liang Panpan's Chu Chu style, Qizhi is beautifully public, her natural charm and youthful vitality combined to form a compelling glamorous light is just like a cone into the bag, and she can't hide it if she wants to, although she was arranged behind Liang Panpan, but when the people in the hall noticed her, she became the focus of the hall almost instantly.

There is telepathy in this world. Just when Tang Cheng followed everyone's attention to Qiweaving. Nanori, who had just approached the hall, turned his head and saw him too, looking at each other. The seven-weave eyebrows and eyes of the lightly skirted in his hand smiled with waves.

Nanori smiled affectionately and added to the beauty, followed by a low voice of admiration in the hall.

"Smiling. Beautiful eyes, beautiful eyebrows, beautiful women! ”。

"A smile captivates the city, Liang Panpan will occupy two points for Chang'an after three points of spring, and when the gold list is titled on a different day, if this woman joins hands with Yeyou, she will live up to the pride of life."

Hearing the scholars discussing with great interest, Tang Cheng couldn't help but laugh mockingly, these people are really ridiculous, they have not sat half-kneeling and caused them to be rude, and they are proud of their self-esteem in judging women's character under the public, such a "etiquette" should not be.

Looking at the scorching look in Qizhi's eyes, Tang Cheng understood that she was excited to compete with Liang Panpan on the same stage, Tang Cheng shook his head and didn't bother to listen to the discussions of those boring scholars, just smiled and gave Qiweaving a thumbs up.

Seeing that Tang Cheng understood his mind like this, Nanori returned a happy smile again, and her beauty was full of beauty. The scholars were both amazed and surprised and turned their heads to look at Tang Cheng inexplicably, they really didn't understand how such a beauty could be crazy and blue-eyed who didn't talk about etiquette.

However, these are all small episodes before the banquet, with the arrival of Liang Panpan and others and the guests in the seat gradually full, the musicians each held their instruments and played the tune of "Joyful Yangyang".

With this song, the gentlemen who were originally talking about it quickly quieted down, and everyone knew that the host of today's banquet should arrive.

Thinking that he was about to meet the legendary figure in history, the princess of Zhenguo Taiping, who was favored and favored by the two dynasties and leaned towards the government and the opposition, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little shaken, and quietly sat up straight in the cheerful tune.

It was just when the music of "Joyful Yangyang" played to the most cheerful * Li Longji and other princes and nobles that Princess Taiping of Zhenguo arrived.

No matter how careful Princess Taiping's dress and makeup were, the first thing she noticed was still those phoenix eyes.

Her eyes are large and narrow, and when she is dignified, she is awe-inspiring; If the spring breeze is like now, the whole look looks warm and warm, and even occasionally shows a little bit of charm.

Even if he had asked Li Longji before, but when Princess Taiping was standing alive in front of him, Tang Cheng really found it hard to believe that she was nearly fifty years old, no matter in later generations or now, forty-nine years old is a fatal age for a woman, but this point is not even felt in Princess Taiping at all, she is at most thirty years old when she is supported by two maids, and her body is full of the mature beauty of a woman, especially when her natural appearance is combined with strong self-confidence, Angmai stepped into the ground, and Princess Taiping had another inimitable beauty.

At the moment when Taiping Gong stepped into the hall. Tang Cheng and all the scholars stood up at the same time, and at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this special woman.

Seeing that the ceremony was seated, Princess Taiping and her entourage entered the hall and sat opposite Tang Cheng and other scholars across the dance hall that had been set aside. As for the subsequent meeting ceremony and the host's speech, it was all an official article, but Tang Cheng also saw Princess Taiping's talent and skill from this official article. Quoting scriptures and classics at her fingertips, especially the ability to grasp people's hearts between words is even more perfect, with her words, these young and conceited and talented scholars in the hall were directly provoked by her enthusiasm***. Vehement.

And in this process, Princess Taiping, who holds the imperial examination quota and has countless halos, is naturally regarded by the scholars as a bosom friend who appreciates their talents.

Before the imperial examination began, Princess Taiping had already relied on the resources and identity she had mastered to collect all the best among the current scholars.

watched this woman who combines identity, power, beauty and one body talk eloquently on it, and then look at the scholars who are inspired. Look excited. Jumping out of the barrier of historical records, Tang Cheng really felt the horror of Princess Taiping.

The road is long, and Li Longji's road is really not easy to walk!

After Princess Taiping finished speaking, the hall was full of people to drink, and at this point, the banquet of today's Wenhui officially began.

Feasting and drinking together, singing and dancing are indispensable, and the first place to perform is naturally Liang Panpan, the first place of Oiran. Her poems are mainly about describing the love between men and women and the joy and leisure of landscapes and idyllic places. Accompanied by songs and poems, there is a soft dance, especially the song "Six Units" that she danced delicately and tortuously. poured out the feminine beauty of the woman, and the sergeants in the hall couldn't help but exclaim when she suddenly bent down. I'm afraid that her graceful waist will be broken.

Liang Panpan sang and danced, and the color in the hall was like thunder, even Tang Cheng couldn't help but praise it, no matter what, Liang Panpan's skills are indeed worthy of praise.

After Liang Panpan led the singing and dancing to create the atmosphere of the banquet, Qizhi followed. As soon as she stood on the thick Persian carpet in the dance hall, the music in the hall suddenly changed, from casual to exciting, and the place where she opened her mouth was the "Shu Dao Difficulty", which was highly praised by Yu Dongjun and He Zhizhang.

The danger is high!

The voice of Qiweaving is clear and high, between the openings, it makes people like seeing the extremely high and dangerous Shu Mountain, and then it is gushing endlessly like Shu water hitting stones, and the torrent passes through the air, and what is even more rare is that with such a high-pitched and bold long song, Qiweaving Dance is the most masculine Hu Teng dance in the Jian Dance.

Although the singing and dancing skills of Qiweaving are slightly inferior to Liang Panpan, but because the selected songs and poems are too prominent, and such songs and dances are secretly in line with the mood of the excited scholars in the center of the hall.

In recent months, with the unsparing publicity of Wuzhong Sishi He Jizhen and Zhang Chunjiang, which was praised by the Shannan Dongdao Observation Envoy "Shu Dao Difficulty" has already spread throughout Chang'an Shilin, at this moment under the emotion, the young and passionate scholars in the hall are unbearable and there are many singers who respond to it, and the popularity of the scene is no less than the night of the opening of Daya Zhizheng Garden.

Seeing such a hot atmosphere in the hall, Tang Changcheng, who was holding chopsticks in his hand and striking in the void, exhaled a breath, he knew that Qizhi attached great importance to singing and dancing with Liang Panpan this time, although there was an element of trickery at the moment, but the effect of singing and dancing Qiweaving not only did not lose to Liang Panpan, but also faintly won in terms of the effect of the show.

This girl should be happy now! When Tang Cheng, who was relieved, was smiling and drinking, he looked up with a heartbeat, and it happened to meet Princess Taiping's eyes in the air.

His position was arranged at the front of the scholar's seat, not far from Princess Taiping, and it was really true to see it now

After Tang Cheng saw Li Longji, who was whispering something on Princess Taiping's side, he naturally understood the origin of the look of appreciation in Princess Taiping's eyes when she looked at him, needless to say, Li Longji must be whispering to the princess that he was this "Shu Dao Victim".

Princess Taiping nodded with a smile, and looked Tang Cheng up and down carefully with appreciative eyes, and when she saw him sitting cross-legged casually, her face still showed a slightly stunned look of surprise after all.

At this moment, Tang Cheng held the wine in front of him with both hands and invited him to drink with a smile. After a little surprise, Princess Taiping smiled suddenly, stretched out her hand and took a drink with Tang Cheng in front of her.

After Princess Taiping put down the wine and smiled again, she turned her head and whispered to Li Longji in the noise, looking at her eyes that frequently focused on Tang Cheng. knew that the content of her inquiry must be inseparable from this Tang Wuji, who could write "Shu Dao Difficult" and dared to be casual and informal in his own banquet.

"I wonder what she's going to say when we really want to meet in private later?" After this thought flashed in his mind, Tang Cheng simply put the matter aside and enjoyed the rare high-level singing and dancing in front of him with peace of mind.

The singing and dancing lasted for nearly half an hour, and the full hall of scholars had already drunk for five minutes. With the abrupt end of musical instruments such as the pipa tooth plate, today's banquet has also reached a critical moment.

Princess Taiping and others temporarily withdrew, and the scholars also put down their wine and went to the cold back garden outside the hall.

The importance of this poem to the participants is self-evident, and it is to send off the princess and her party together. After the scholars inquired about the title of the poem at the servant's office, they immediately rushed out, for fear of delaying any time for the idea of composing the poem.

Tang Cheng has made up his mind not to participate in today's literary meeting, since he doesn't need to make poems, then he is very leisurely. Shi Shiran got up and walked out of the hall slowly and walked into the back garden, but because the season was not right, there was really no scenery to enjoy in the garden, and after walking around the garden hastily, Tang Cheng, who was impatient with the cold, turned around and walked towards the hall.

Bypassing the gate of the back garden, Tang Cheng had just walked into the courtyard when he heard a noisy sound coming from the hall where he was feasting.

As soon as I heard the noisy sound, there was a faint sound of Nanori. Tang Cheng suddenly changed his leisurely pace just now and ran in.

There was chaos in the main hall. Originally, the seat head of Princess Taiping and others was now a mess, and there was a space behind this seat that was covered by a heavy curtain. It was here that Liang Panpan and others changed their clothes and rested in this place, and the curtain had been lifted at this time. A drunken young man was dragging people out of the curtain, and the man he was dragging resisted while scolding, and there were several fellow singers and servants next to him, pulling or persuading, the whole scene was really chaotic.

Tang Cheng entered the hall and saw that it was his old acquaintance Xue Dong in Yangzhou who was full of alcohol, and it was Qizhi who was dragged by him.

Before Tang Cheng, there were also a few scholars who ran in when they heard the sound, and just as they were about to step forward, they saw that Xue Dong suddenly turned his head and scolded: "Lao Tzu is the young master of this mansion, you poor sour who the dare to be presumptuous to Lao Tzu."

Xue Dong laughed when he saw this, and said louder and louder: "Qiweaving, I miss you very much after saying goodbye to the young master in Yangzhou, but it's a pity that I didn't know that the little lady had arrived in the capital when I went out on an errand a few days ago, and I just heard the news when I came back today, the young master, I didn't even eat wine, since I came here, the little lady, you always have to go to the young master's room to see before you become a master and take you to see it."

Xue Dong said with a laugh in his mouth, adding strength to his hands, and when he saw that Qizhi could no longer grasp the curtain, and the others hesitated, he suddenly saw a figure walking forward quickly.

kicked on Xue Dong's arm, his hand dragging Qizhi was kicked away immediately, and when he was "oops" out of this guy's pain, the people around him heard a crisp sound, and Xue Dong, whose body was already crooked, fell to the ground, and a bright red slap mark was imprinted on his left face

This change was sudden, not to mention those subordinate servants, even Xue Dong himself didn't expect that someone would dare to beat him in the princess's mansion, and he would shoot so hard! In the silence of the hall for a moment, Tang Cheng shook his hand vigorously, "Damn, why is your face so thick, my hands hurt."
