The weather is getting colder and colder, but the whole capital is very hot, many cars and horses are pouring in day and night, unlike the people who did business in the past, this time many of them are older Confucian teachers with students and disciples, more or less, full of interest.

Chen Danzhu roared at the national eunuch, Zhou Xuan agreed to compete with the students of the scholar clan, the crown prince of Qi, the prince, and the wealthy families of the scholar clan have summoned the scholars to sit and discuss the scriptures and righteousness, and the news has spread more and more widely, and the Confucian students and large and small academies all over the country have heard it - the new atmosphere of the new capital, and all over the country are staring at it.

Regardless of whether this matter is a woman who entered the national prison in violation of the law in order to spoil her lover - it seems to be so, anyway, one is Miss Danzhu, and the other is a scholar from a humble and beautiful background - such a ridiculous reason has made trouble, and now because there are more and more students gathered, as well as wealthy families, the prince has come to have fun, and the capital invites Yuelou to gather people of insight, debate every day, compare poetry and literature, compare piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Confucian romance day and night, it has become a grand event in the capital and even the world.

The busy people in the near places came by car, and the people in the distance could only secretly regret that they couldn't catch up.

After all, the time for the agreed competition is coming, and there is only one Zhang Yao sitting alone in the Star Picking Building opposite, and there are at most one or two competitions of the scholar clan, which is not as exciting as the half-day literary meeting of the Yuelou now.

The so-called competition ended before it started, it's a pity, the five princes sat in the car and staggered, but this time it was not because they got up early and dozed off, but they were thinking about things, such as holding this grand event of inviting the moon building for a few more days, or turning it into a fixed cultural meeting, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet arrived, how can such a grand event lack His Royal Highness the Prince.

This is a good opportunity for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter Beijing.

The fifth prince opened his eyes and shouted to someone, and the little eunuch sitting outside hurriedly lifted the curtain.

"I'm not going to invite Yuelou today." The five princes commanded.

Ay? This hasn't walked out of the palace yet, the eunuch was surprised, the five princes have been more diligent than the past ten years in the past few days, why didn't they suddenly go? Is this finally the pain of getting up early and chanting poems against the ghosts and howling wolves?

The lessons of the past made the eunuchs want to persuade but dare not persuade.

It was still the fifth prince who glared at him: "I'm going to see Mr. Xu and discuss with him what to do with the grand event of the Inviting Moon Tower." ”

This is a serious matter, the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, praised the five princes for their thoughtfulness, just got out of the car, and saw a car slowly coming from behind-

"Your Highness." The eunuch hurriedly turned around and whispered, "It's the car of the third prince, and the third prince is going out again." ”

To say that the five princes have changed their sex and are diligent, the third prince has also changed as if he has changed a person in the past few days, and he has also joined in the fun.

"Ignore him." The fifth prince didn't care, he was very vigilant when he heard that the third prince was running around to visit the scholars, but when he heard that the people who were visiting were all the scholars of the Shu clan, he smiled, "The third brother is really confused by beauty, and he is running around for that Chen Danzhu, I don't know how the result is?" ”

The little eunuch immediately summoned the guards of the five princes to come over and ask, and the guards had someone responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the other princes.

The guard shook his head and said that there was no result, and there was still no one to go to the Star Picking Tower.

"The third brother might as well invite those Shu scholars to invite Yuelou, so that he can add some prestige." The Five Princes scoffed.

The eunuch laughed: "The third prince already has Miss Danzhu to add prestige to him." ”

Sure enough, he was a wasted person, and he was fascinated by a woman, stupid and ridiculous, the five princes laughed, and the eunuchs laughed too, and the car galloped forward happily.

The car of the fifth prince went straight to the Guozijian, and he didn't see that the third prince behind him did not go out of the city this time, but slowly came to the street of Invite Yuelou.

This street is already full of people, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel, except for the prince and the prince of course, as well as Chen Danzhu's car.

Seeing that it was the car of the three princes, the people on the street looked curiously and guessed, whether the three princes were the Confucian saints on the left or the beauty on the right, and soon the car stopped, and the three princes walked out with the support of the guards, and walked into the Star Picking Tower without the slightest hesitation-

There was an uproar on the street, not disappointed, but more mockery.

The crown prince of Qi stood by the window on the second floor, surrounded by seven or eight scholars, looking at the figure of the third prince and sighing and shaking his head: "Brother the third emperor should be so sad and disappointed that His Majesty should be like this." ”

Entering the Star Picking Building, the noise of the outside world seemed to be instantly isolated, and Zhang Yao, who was sitting alone in front of a few cases spreading out the paper, focused on writing and drawing, didn't know that anyone walked in, until he wanted to measure the ruler on the table and touch the ruler indiscriminately-

"Are you looking for this?" A warm voice asked.

Zhang Yao was so frightened that he almost sat down, raised his head and saw a young man in a prince's dress, picked up the ruler that was pressed under a few pieces of paper, he looked at it for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yao, and handed the ruler over.

Zhang Yao couldn't take it, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen the third prince." ”

The third prince smiled: "Zhang Yao, do you recognize me?" ”

Didn't you also call out my name, Zhang Yao thought to himself, and said respectfully: "I have long admired His Highness's name." ”

Although neither of them has ever seen anyone, in the legend, Zhang Yao is the one who was arrested by Chen Danzhu for the third prince.

This way of looking up for a long time can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented, the third prince felt very funny, looked down at a few cases, and was slightly moved: "Are you painting a canal?" ”

Zhang Yao nodded: "It's Zheng Guoqu, Xiaosheng once went to see it in person, and he had nothing to do, no, no, just, just draw it and practice the pen." ”

The third prince looked at it: "Your painting is so good, it is exactly the same as what I saw in the books in the palace, and even more fine." He looked at Zhang Yao again and smiled, "Miss Danzhu is angry for you, it's not that she is angry, she should be angry." ”

Zhang Yao said: "Miss Danzhu is righteous, she is uneven, and she is fortunate to have three lives." ”

The third prince couldn't help laughing, and joked to him: "You are the only one in the capital who will say this about Miss Danzhu." ”

Zhang Yao continued: "It seems that His Highness sees the same thing. ”

The third prince smiled again and glanced at Zhang Yao deeply: "You deserve her to fight for you." ”

In a few words, Zhang Yao did not feel annoyed or uneasy at Chen Danzhu pushing him to the forefront, so he could only accept it calmly and not be afraid to retreat.

Zhang Yao smiled, Chen Danzhu is not here, even if he is the master here, right? Busy inviting the third prince to sit down, and called the shop guy to serve tea.

The third prince did not sit down politely.

Zhang Yao asked, "Is Your Highness here to find Miss Danzhu?" She's not here, she's probably still out there. ”

Alas, it's the last day, and it seems that no one will come no matter how much you run.

The third prince shook his head: "No, I'm here to wait for someone." ”

Wait for someone, Zhang Yao sighed, I don't know who the third prince is waiting for when he goes to the Star Picking Tower.

"You're busy." The third prince said, motioning for him to take a seat.

Zhang Yao sat down according to his words, and sure enough, he picked up the pen again and prepared to continue painting-

The third prince glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Gongzi Zhang, did you know Miss Danzhu before?" ”

Zhang Yao shook his head: "I don't know, Miss Danzhu and I got acquainted because of my sister-in-law Liu Wei." ”

His origin and the relationship between his relatives and friends in the capital, the world doesn't care about it, and the three princes must be very clear, why do they still ask like this?

The third prince smiled, glanced at Zhang Yao again, and looked away without speaking.

The third prince drank tea, Zhang Yao painted the canal, and the quiet of no one in the Star Picking Building was restored again, but this time the silence did not last too long, Zhang Yao only drew two strokes, and there was a sound of footsteps, he raised his head and saw a scholar standing at the door, but the posture was a little strange, obviously walked in, but the step was backward-

"You." Zhang Yao asked puzzled, is this the wrong place?

The third prince had already spoken first: "It's looking for me." He raised his voice to the other side, "This son, you are welcome." ”

Zhang Yao sighed, looking stunned, looking at the third prince, then at the scholar, and then at the door behind the scholar, two or three people were looking in-

He seemed to understand something, and stood up suddenly.

......

......

On Peach Blossom Mountain, Chen Danzhu stepped out of the door and stood on the mountain road and sneezed into the cold wind.

"Miss, why are you sneezing?" Ah Tian hurriedly stuffed the hand stove in her hand to her.

Chen Danzhu didn't answer, and said with a smile: "You were scolded, right?" Don't worry, it's the last day, and more people are scolding me soon. ”

It's the last day, Ah Tian looked worried, tomorrow's competition is really only Zhang Yao alone, what should I do.

What can I do, Chen Danzhu sighed lightly and called: "Bamboo forest, follow me to catch it-"

Before she could finish her words, the bamboo forest on the tree flew down.

"Miss Danju." He interrupted her and shouted, "The Third Prince has gone to the Star Picking Tower. ”

The third prince, Chen Danzhu sighed lightly, it's not surprising, he is such a good person, he will support her.

"And." Zhulin looked strange and said, "There's no need to arrest people, now there are a lot of people in the Star Picking Building." ”

Ay? Chen Danzhu was surprised.

At this moment, the people outside the Star Picking Building opened their mouths in surprise, one or two scholars before, like thieves, touched into the Star Picking Building, everyone didn't pay attention, but there were more and more thieves, and it was difficult for everyone to pay attention if they didn't want to-

"I recognize, this is a scholar of the Shu clan in Dongcheng."

"Oh my God, isn't that Pan Chou? Why did Pan Chou come too? ”

"Where did these people come from? Crazy? ”

The shouting and discussion set off a lively scene on the street, and the excitement on the street overshadowed the liveliness of the Yueyue Building for the first time, and the scholars who had gathered together to debate and talk about poetry and make articles also stopped, standing at the door, standing in front of the window and watching this scene, a two-ant-like person walked into the Star Picking Building, and there were more and more ants - the Star Picking Building, which had been silent for a long time, was like a sleep moth that was awakened, breaking the cocoon and stretching.

What's going on?

......

......

There was a knock of footsteps outside a hall in the palace, and Qing Feng didn't even bother to walk the door, he jumped into the window a few times, and shouted to the son sleeping on the Luohan bed by the window, "Childe, there are Shu scholars in the Star Picking Building." ”

Zhou Xuan impatiently threw over a pillow: "If there is, there will be anything, what is the noise." ”

Qing Feng smiled, half-knelt on the Luohan bed and pushed Zhou Xuan: "There are people over there, the competition can continue, Childe go out and see." ”

Zhou Xuan not only didn't get up, but pulled the quilt over to cover his head: "Get out, don't make me sleep." ”

Qingfeng is puzzled, the competition can continue, and the excitement that Childe wants has begun, why don't you go and see it?

Zhou Xuan, who was covered under the quilt, opened his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, the excitement he wanted had already ended, and the next excitement had nothing to do with him.
