If you have a vertical bird's-eye view of Qujiang Pond at this moment, you will definitely be amazed by such a night view.

It is really called the fire tree and silver flower, at this time the two banks of the Qushui are full of palace lights, the willow trees on the shore are also full of lanterns, the whole Qujiang Pond seems to be silent in the silver moonlight, and it seems to be psychedelic in the flashing lights, it is precisely this feeling, an illusion, such as a dream, such as the truth, if a person stands on the building and looks, he will definitely get drunk, drunk, and drink a pool of water.

It's a pity that the meandering water, which should be quiet, is extremely noisy at this time.

The carriage finally stopped in front of the health hall, Xu Chen got out of the car and saw that there were as many as 100 parked carriages on both sides of the road, so he could probably predict the grand occasion of the banquet tonight, and there were many royal forest troops standing around the hall, and the leaders naturally recognized the princess, so they didn't check again, and the three of them went directly into the palace.

The health hall is not a building, but the terrain is very high, it is a simple place for the emperor to sleep and rest, the height of the building is not obvious damp, the front of the palace is very wide, but now it is full of tables, all kinds of fruits are placed on the table, and the dishes have to wait for a while.

Entering the door, I stepped on the steps to go up, the steps are forty degrees, very long, and only the roof of the health hall can be seen below, the three of them were led by the eunuchs waiting in front of the door, and walked up, Li Shuang'er wore a white floor-length dress tonight, and it was very difficult to carry the skirt on this kind of step, Xu Chen directly left her and Zi'er behind and walked up.

After going up the steps, you will see a full range of people, the palace lights are arranged quite properly, the stepped square in front of the hall is as bright as day, dozens of tables are distributed in a stepped manner, and the officials in regular clothes are full, Li San made it clear in the early years that there is no need to wear court clothes during the banquet, and gradually a hard surname index has been formed. It's like the annual meeting of a big company.

The eunuch who led the way led the three men up from the side road, and on both sides of the side road were weeping willows with lanterns, and the flowers and plants were quite luxuriant.

In short, in such a scene, the first feeling is that the theme of tonight is not Qujiang Pond, but the lights strolling around, palace lights, street lamps, chandeliers, all of which are completely the colors of the lantern festival.

led all the way to the flat ground in front of the hall, only to find that it was indeed late, there were more than a dozen tables here, and they were almost full.

When he walked out of the boulevard, Xu Chen said for no reason: "Are you sure that my father asked you to come?" I don't think I have time to sit, so let's go back. ”

Xu Chen has never seen such a big scene, all the princes and nobles who are doing it are him, and there is a sense of oppression, of course this is not the reason for Xu Chen to escape, the key is that Li Shuang'er said before he came that he would pay homage to the elders one by one, and when will Nima worship him.

Li Shuang'er glanced at Xu Chen angrily when she heard this, and she didn't bother to pay attention to him, Zi'er was also silent, looking like she didn't know you, but the eunuch who led the way turned around and said respectfully: "The horse is laughing, and Gonggong Gao has arranged the seat." ”……

On the building outside the health hall, gathered a large number of literati arrived, this will be paraded on the long bridge, enjoy the night view of Qujiang Pond, tonight the moonlight is sultry, the lights are brilliant, but it can inspire some talent.

"Brother Chen!"

The man who spoke sat in the pavilion upstairs, and when he saw that the pedestrians on the long bridge were familiar, he shouted.

The man who was called Brother Chen looked at the people in the pavilion, and suddenly felt very happy, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd.

"Brother Chen is really here, yesterday a few of us were still discussing whether you would come." The people in the pavilion greeted him.

This "Brother Chen" is naturally the famous arrogant poet Chen Wenxuan.

After everyone in the pavilion greeted Chen Wenxuan one by one, Chen Wenxuan also respectfully returned the salute, these people Chen Wenxuan naturally recognized, they were all the prisoners of the dignified Guozijian, and the one who greeted him just now was Guo Pinyi, who was known as the first genius of the Guozijian.

The reason why Guo Pinyi is so famous is because of the favor of the former prince Liu Shizhi, Liu Shizhi's virtue is highly respected, full of wealth, and he can be called a master, but he will mention this proud protégé every time he is on important occasions, and he is not stingy in his praise. Second, this Guozijian student is indeed quite talented, and he is famous for his fu in the past few years, and everyone has no doubt that he is the next champion.

In fact, there is also gossip that this first genius of the country is suave, handsome, and often goes in and out of the Qi Palace, and the major princesses' mansions are also regarded as VIPs.

It's just that it is rare for so many people to come at once, and Chen Wenxuan looked at the people who came tonight, most of them were somewhat famous.

"Is there any reason why this royal feast should not come?" Chen Wenxuan said with a smile.

Guo Pinyi is still very familiar with this arrogant poet, Chen Wenxuan is indeed a strange person, I want to be a jinshi but not an official, I am mixed in the capital, all major banquets, the presence of this benevolent brother is always indispensable, and it has become a beautiful scenery over the years.

Coming here is a matter of course.

All the talented people are chatting, most people come here tonight just to earn fame, just hope that he will have a smooth career, tonight's banquet is more special, and ordinary literati can't go directly to the health hall to compose poems to the emperor, it is estimated that they were arrested without even entering the door.

There are still methods, since Emperor Li San invited everyone to the banquet, there is naturally something attractive, although the literati can't enter the health hall, but Emperor Li San can still control the gathering of talented people outside.

In fact, the highlight of such a banquet is still in the literati, and the royal night banquet is just to sit together and have a meal with the emperor, watch a play, and brag about it, how can there be such elegance as the literati, so the highlight of the royal dinner is naturally the performance of the literati.

Although the literati could not enter the health hall, there was still a way, which was commonly known as "hunting".

Hunting is the usual way of this royal banquet, where the literati gather, naturally produce a large number of poems, they come here for such a purpose, and the royal literati assembly has many palace pen eunuchs distributed in the building, that is, "headhunters", these eunuchs are literate, if the production of popular poems, naturally can not escape the eyes of the eunuchs.

In addition to "hunting", there are many equivalent to the "star scouts" in modern society mixed in the literati, so the dynamics of the literati naturally can't escape the eyes of the royal family, if there are brilliant verses out, Emperor Li San will show them in the princes and nobles, which is the highlight of the banquet.

Therefore, if there is a talent scout lurking around him, the literati will publicize it, so as to attract attention, and if the poems he composed are displayed at the royal banquet, needless to say, they will definitely be popular.
