As the father-in-law of the Imperial City Tower finished reading the holy decree, the huge procession started slowly, with all kinds of floats and props, as well as various people wearing costumes for the performance, holding colorful props, and holding bags in their hands, which were full of flower petals and candy.

At every point or place, there will be petals like spring rain falling from the sky, firecrackers are ringing, gongs and drums are noisy, and people on the street are playing acrobatics, lion dancers, dragons, and masks like porcelain dolls, throwing petals and candy, and interacting with the people around the onlookers.

At the main venue, the contestants who began to line up an hour or two in advance to check the entrance were already in the back of the passage of the venue, and the spectators who entered the later were only entering the venue one after another.

"Poetry!

Li Longxing waved desperately at a girl dressed in a light blue dress with a white veil, although they were masked, Li Longxing believed that he would never admit his mistake.

"Li Gongzi, it turns out that you have arrived, where is Xiao Luoxian?"

The poet girl asked softly.

Li Longxing felt that his bones were soft at this time, but when he thought about it, he must not be so uncompromising, and said forcefully: "Miss Luoxian is waiting over there, I look like you, so I hurried over, afraid that you will be lost!

Li Longxing smiled stupidly, and immediately went in after a few of them converged. I have to say that Li Longxing brought too many things today, and it has been a long time since he passed the test. Eating and drinking, as well as sunscreen, and cool are all available, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing he doesn't have.

After a period of excitement, noise, and noise, the whole preparatory work was finally over. The next thing is to wait for His Majesty to announce the start of the ceremony.

The players on the waiting ground had no way to hear clearly, because there were too many people and too far away, so they could only wait for the instructions of the guidance officer.

When the deafening salute sounded, the guiding official gave an order, and everyone began to appear according to the established routine, and the master of ceremonies would use strong internal force and his loud voice to try to hear the entire venue.

"Next, I will invite young talents from the capital, applause and welcome!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Yitao, who was holding a pennant, slowly came out of the passage, and the applause of the entire venue was thunderous and endless. Don't ask why Zhao Yitao raised the flag, ask if he is the emperor's own nephew.

In the stands, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the young talents who came out of the crowd with a look of his clothes and the demeanor of the world, and his eyes revealed an incomprehensible smile! The queen mother and the concubines next to her were all making introductions to the young talents in the crowd.

"Queen Mother, look, the one in blue clothes walking behind our Yitao is Yan Shangshu's son, Yan Kuo, who is young and stylish, and is a perfect match for Shilin's girl!"

"Queen Mother, look, the one in yellow clothes is the son of Uncle Guo, Zhou Yaozu, who is honest and to the point, and he is also good!"

The people who came today are all noble concubines, so the characters introduced are still very weighty royal princes and nobles.

"Rui'er, there are so many young men, which one do you value the most, I'm just such a precious granddaughter, you have to check it!"

The Queen Mother happily made a request to the emperor.

"Queen Mother, the child is busy with political affairs all day long, and the affairs of the children of these officials, let the queen and Concubine De come up with their ideas!"

The emperor respectfully replied to the Queen Mother, and the Empress and Concubine De listened to the reply: "No, Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother listened to their introductions one by one, and suddenly felt that this was okay or that, and she was disgusted that the harem was not angry, and there were too few children, and even the whole vein was only a female baby, which made the concubines present embarrassed and frightened.

To say that Lin Che felt how many masters there were in the arena this time before entering the arena, of course, the most important thing was the periphery of the arena, although the audience and players were hiding their breath and not emitting discordant true qi disturbing the atmosphere, but like that kind of guard, they would not be too restrained against the true qi, so Lin Che could already deduce how many masters were and where they were.

Needless to say, there are at least five ninefold masters next to or around the emperor, the queen mother and those noble concubines.

The first competition of the summer ceremony is the ceremony, which is a group project, accompanied by the palace drum music, the contestants from different counties use classical etiquette and movements to choreograph similar dances, at this time because Lin Che has no project, so he went to the stage to watch the game with Luo Xian, Li Longxing and the poetry girl, a few people ate and drank on it, chatting while watching, so uncomfortable. Don't ask where Lin Jue went, just ask next to Miss Gao.

"You eat less Lin Che, I'll bring three people's portions, wait for Miss Shishi and Miss Luoxian to be enough!" Li Longxing was very distressed that the beauty and beauty things specially prepared for Miss Shishi were eaten as snacks by Lin Che.

"Wow, you fat man, heavy color and light friend, poetry girl, be more careful about this kind of person!"

Lin Che hurt him while eating

"You go die, Lin Che!"

Li Longxing has an urge to break off with him!

However, the two girls next to her were smiling brightly, and Li Fatzi was also fascinated by happiness, so he no longer cared.

There is Zhao Xilin in the team in the capital, although the championship is certain, but the overall performance is indeed remarkable, and there is no controversy, the old queen mother and the concubine of the harem are also happy, looking at Xilin, this little girl, every move, the atmosphere is elegant, and she is praised for her royal style.

When the emperor and the queen mother discussed the top three, the competition of this ceremony came to an end.

The competition of music is relatively interesting, there will be a place in each county, the capital is Yan Shaoyi, the musical instrument played by the zither, its sound is curling, sometimes like a towering mountain, sometimes like a trickle of water, listening to people are so intoxicated.

"It's so good to play!"

Little Luo Xian couldn't help but praise.

"Compared with your guqin, I think your guzheng is better!

Lin Che smiled and showed affection.

I heard that she is still one of the four talented women, and there is a difference between me and her!"

Luo Xian replied with a smile.

"If it's Yunni, it's also Yun, it's a talent, anyway, I don't think your piano skills will be worse than hers! I'll go back and make you a medal later-the world's first pianist, Luo Xian." ”

"Fool!"

Miss Luo Xian really couldn't stop laughing at this Lin Che!

The poetry girl and Li Longxing next to her were sour, and the poetry girl was now making fun of Luo Xian, Luo Xian would not blush, but would only smile slightly.

Li Longxing is looking at Lin Che and Luo Xian so affectionately, and the woman he loves most in his life is in front of him, and he can't do anything else except be polite and gentle to her!

In addition to Yan Shaoyi's performance, there is also a girl who plays the flute, I forgot where she came from, her bass is sometimes like an empty mountain bird, sometimes like a hundred birds singing in unison, high and low tactfully and freely, reverberating to the heart, making people feel as if they are in a high mountain and deep valley, but her instrument is a little disadvantaged, in fact, Lin Che feels that her performance is inseparable from Yan Shaoyi's.

I thought that today would be the same as yesterday, watching the performance, and it would be over after the awards, but today His Majesty saw that the sky was just right, and suddenly wanted to say something, and motioned for Grandpa An to convey it.

After listening to this, Gonggong An nodded in agreement, stood on the stage and shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, today's high-level talents gather, elegant music appreciation, I am very comforted, since ancient times, poetry and music coexist, now the world's talents are gathered, I want to find masterpieces and enjoy with all the people, I hope that all young talents will show their strengths, admire this!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the mountain call long live, countless scholars were ecstatic at this time, and many competitions but those who did not win the prize were even more energetic and ready to be favored by the saints.

"Do you want to write?"

Luo Xian looked at Lin Che, Li Longxing and Miss Shishi were all encouraging him to hurry up.

Lin Che felt troublesome.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome! And such a bunch of manuscripts are sent over, and the level is uneven, it seems too unpopular!"

Lin Che didn't know where the literati were arrogant at this time!

Luo Xian smiled and didn't force him to go, although he felt that as long as Lin Che was on it, he would definitely have a chance to win the championship.

So the audience was babbling, they were busy writing poems, some people were afraid of being copied and hidden, and some people were afraid of being disturbed, so they covered their ears and held back a few words.

Half an hour later, the officials collected and selected about 30 poems to educate His Majesty and the Queen Mother for appreciation. The emperor and the empress dowager picked and chosen, and the people below almost knelt on the ground and begged for the Bodhisattva, anxiously waiting for the result.

In the end, I took two songs, one was Yan Kuo's "Dengshen Yin", and the other was Lu Shiyuan's "Morning Journey to the West Mountain", and I took it around, but I couldn't choose the third song, and the Queen Mother also shook her head.

I saw that the emperor asked Gonggong An what he wanted, and Gonggong An hurriedly checked with the official who sent the manuscript, and then Gonggong An passed the word to His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor's slender eyes revealed a hint of strange emotion, and he waved his big hand.

"Where is Lin Che!"

The audience was dumbfounded, and Lin Che was even more frightened that their hearts rose to their throats.

"Lin Che is here, Lin Che uses his true qi and transmits the voice to His Majesty's position!"

His Majesty took a look, only to see Lin Che hurriedly coming to His Majesty's royal car.

"Lin Che is here, please show your majesty!"

His Majesty asked indifferently: "I heard that you are quite famous for poetry, why don't you present poetry today!"

Lin Che crouched on the ground and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the article is natural, the magic hand is even better, the grass people are shallow in learning, the so-called poetry is even more famous, I dare not make an ugly sacrifice in this elegant hall, look forward to Your Majesty Haihan!"

The whole audience seemed to be holding their breath at this time, and the whole venue was terrifyingly quiet. Luo Xian was trembling even more, this sudden summons made her and Li Longxing, Miss Shishi, Lin Jue and other people who had a good relationship with Lin Che feel terrified!

"What a 'good article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even obtained', in the world, I am the sky, and now I am in front of you, within ten steps, compose a poem, what do you think?"

His Majesty's slender eyes seemed to be half-open, and there was an irreversible look in his eyes that looked at the world.

The audience was shocked into a cold sweat, and it was almost impossible to turn ten steps into a poem, let alone in such a sudden and oppressive environment. Luo Xian was trembling nervously, and the poetry girl held her hands, but she still couldn't stop.

Of course, there are also people who sneer, such as Yan Kuo, and some people who are almost about to laugh, such as Zhou Yaozu, and many people who expect Lin Che to withstand the pressure and become a poem in ten steps, such as Lu Shiyuan.

"Yes!"

The two words vibrated and circled over the entire stadium, and the sound seemed to be repeated over and over again in people's ears.

Lin Che got up and shook the dust off her body, Luo Xian in the distance trembled so much that she folded her hands, she didn't dare to open her eyes the whole time, she could only pray silently in her heart.

Lin Che forcibly endured his heavy breathing, and everyone in the audience was waiting for him to take the first step,

One step - it is difficult to say goodbye when we meet

Li Longxing swallowed his saliva and clenched his sleeve tightly with his hand.

Two steps - the east wind is powerless

The poetry girl helped Luo Xian, her eyes full of uncertainty.

Three steps - spring silkworms to the end of the dead silk

Lin Jue stuck his head out, wanting to confirm that Lin Che had taken a few steps.

Four steps - the wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry

Zhao Yitao held the flagpole of his guard, "Don't die, you kid!"

Five steps - Xiaojing, but the clouds and temples change

Mrs. Lin looked at the stage with a blank expression, and still hasn't come back to her senses

Six steps - the night chant should feel the cold moonlight

Shilin and Yan Shaoyi held each other's hands, their eyes revealing expectation

Seven steps - Pengshan has no way to go

The jade match in Han Shuling's hand was polished to shine, "It's not like you can't finish the gambling game and braid!"

Eight steps - the blue bird is diligent for visiting

Yan Kuo and Zhou Yaozu beat their chests in disappointment.

"Bang Bang!"

Lu Shiyuan took the lead in applauding, and after a while, the entire venue applauded, and even many were cheering. And the nervousness was so excessive that people breathed a sigh of relief, and Luo Xian was directly paralyzed in the arms of the poetry girl.

Eight steps into a seven-character poem, every sentence can be a celebrity poetry history.

And when the Queen Mother saw Lin Che's face clearly, she was completely stunned, and her expression was a little dazed and she said two words slightly.

"Cloud Song ......"

His Majesty the Emperor picked up the manuscript of the poem that the civil official had copied on the side and looked at it indifferently.

"Yes, you didn't disappoint me!"

"Anqing!"

His Majesty the Emperor, with a wave of his hand, I am afraid that there is a will.

"In!"

An Gonggong came to the front of the horse and listened to His Majesty's will. After listening, Father-in-law An respectfully returned the salute and came to the stage.

"Your Majesty has a will!"

All the people bowed down together.

"Today, there is a scholar Lu Shiyuan's "Morning Trip to the West Mountain" ranked third, Yan Kuo's "Dengshen Yin" ranked second, and Lin Che's "Untitled" of Jingwu Wangfu, eight steps into a poem, brilliant writing, the best talent in the world, is the example of today's scholars, won the first place, admire this!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

As a result, the top three in poetry and music won the reward of His Majesty under the grand occasion of the attention of thousands of people.

After stepping down, Yan Shaoyi, who was also the leader, couldn't help but admire: "Lin Che, it's really you! Do you know? I was scared to death just now, in front of His Majesty's Imperial Palace, I want to write a poem within ten steps, I am worried that you will ......."

Lin Che didn't wait for her to finish, leaned against the wall, sighed, and said softly: "I'm going to be scared to death myself, I thought I was going to braided today!"

Yan Shaoyi helped him through the next stage of the road, and when Lin Che entered the venue, everyone was applauding him, he walked all the way back to his seat, Luo Xian hugged her, and sobbed in his arms, just under the witness of this crowd, everyone knew that this talented man already had a beautiful woman.

At this time, in the stands of the royal family, a pair of eyes were staring at the poetry girl beside Lin Che, and Luo Xian in his arms, he clenched the teacup in his hand, and the water in the teacup vibrated endlessly!

"I see!Shishi, you've disappointed me so much!"
