The black lines on Zhiwan's head fell down one by one, and Poria was speechless when she stood aside, and she hadn't seen how to escape marriage, "You still don't run away from marriage, if King Yuejun puts your grandfather in prison, you have to come back." ”

Guan Ling shook his head again and again, "No, my grandfather is the enlightenment teacher of King Zhennan, and King Yuejun still has to call my grandfather a master." ”

Poria stared at her round eyes, she didn't expect Miss Guan to be so big, yes, if she was small, she wouldn't be able to participate in the Hibiscus Banquet, "Then you are still afraid of King Yuejun?" ”

Guan Ling said sullenly, "I'm not afraid of him, it's just that he has been bad since he was a child, and he said that I can eat better than the pigs he raised, and I don't want to marry him in the future When I eat, he will bring a pig to compare with me who eats more." ”

"......." ”

Poria, "......." ”

Zhiwan stroked her forehead and covered the smile at the corner of her mouth with her hand, she really couldn't hold it back, daring to love her if she was marrying Ye Guiyue, was she worried that she would not have enough to eat in the future?

Over there, a little maid hurriedly ran over, Guan Ling pushed the plate forward to Zhiwan, stood up and said, "I just chatted with her for a while, I didn't eat pastries." ”

The maid couldn't cry or laugh, the girl broke her away, and came here, she would endure not eating the pastries, unless the sun came out in the west, "It's your turn to perform in a while, the slave is afraid that you will forget, so let's go and wait earlier, right?" ”

Guan Ling nodded, turned around and thanked Zhiwan for not demolishing her, Zhiwan also finished eating, got up and walked together, but only halfway through, Xiu'er came, "Fourth girl, our princess asked you to dance the pearl dance for the emperor." ”

Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, and Xiu'er told Zhiwan what happened by the lake, including the big round ball that was stepped on by Jiang Wanxian, I don't know if the lotus platform is broken, in front of so many people, it's not easy to dismantle it, and the emperor wants to see the pearl dance and dance with butterflies, but it's night at this time, and there are no butterflies. can't perform, but the pearl dance, the county lord can't, Princess Liuhua is afraid of sweeping the emperor's Yaxing. I thought of Zhiwan, the drawings were designed by Zhiwan, and the county lord of Jining would not be excusable, and Zhiwan would definitely be, so he asked the maid to come to her.

Zhiwan wanted to cry, the drawings were good for her, but she just racked her brains to move the lotus platform she had seen in her previous life here, and almost nothing has changed in it, her original intention was just to perform step by step lotus, but she was afraid of reducing the design of internal parts. The appearance of the lotus will malfunction, but I didn't expect to find trouble for myself, and I want her to really dance what pearl dance, don't you know that the lotus platform was designed by her?

Becoming famous in Kyoto is a good thing for others, but it may not be for her. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and it is taboo for concubines to overshadow the limelight of concubines, Zhiwan shook his head and said, "I won't dance the pearl dance." ”

Xiu'er was stunned, the county lord wouldn't, and neither would the four girls, so what else was the plan to do. "But what does the emperor want to see?"

The emperor wants to see it, but he won't have to do it, Zhiwan has a headache, the design of Mingzhu Dance first requires light work, won't she be good, Zhiwan thinks of light work. His eyes were aimed at Guan Ling, and Guan Ling hurriedly said, "Don't beat my idea, I don't know how to dance any pearl dance." ”

Guan Ling's maid Zhu'er also said, "My girl has been dancing since she was a child. I was still forced to learn by the old lady, and my girl is good at sword dancing. ”

And the sword dance is messy, and I have been forced to practice by the old lady in the past two days, and I finally have a little presentable.

"It's okay, even if you can't dance, I want light work."

"Startle me, if you want to say light work, mine is definitely better than King Yuejun, carrying you will definitely not fall into the lake halfway, don't worry."

“…… You don't have to carry me. ”

“…… So who is carrying? ”

“…… Yourself. ”

Guan Ling looked at Zhiwan blankly, how could she carry herself, Zhiwan was hit by her innocence, and pulled her and said, "Actually, the Pearl Dance is not a dance, but a dance that stands on the Night Pearl, you just need to ......." ”

Zhiwan told Guan Ling the essence of the Pearl Dance, Guan Ling's eyes lit up when he heard it, it turned out that this was the Pearl Dance, it sounded very funny, Guan Ling thought for a while and said, "I'll do you a favor, you can also do me a favor, okay?" ”

"What's the busy?" Zhiwan asked very happily.

Guan Ling leaned into Zhiwan's ear and muttered softly, Zhiwan's face was full of black lines, you would never have thought of what Guan Ling was busy with.

Ye Guiyue can't pick the princess of the county today, and Guan Ling will go on a hunger strike tomorrow to refuse marriage, she is afraid that she will be too hungry to stand it, so she will let Zhiwan send her something to eat in the name of a friend, so that her grandfather can't find out......

Zhiwan felt that she really didn't need to go on a hunger strike, and she knew that she couldn't carry it before she started, so was there any need to continue?

However, Zhiwan agreed to her.

A few people walked to the lakeside, and saw a group of ladies laughing and talking, everyone was holding a glass of juice in their hands, talking and laughing, and they listened to two sentences in the evening, and the banquet was moved back to the test table for a while.

Xiu'er went to tell Princess Liuhua first, Zhiwan invited Guan Ling to dance the pearl dance, Princess Liuhua nodded, "Let her go first, there will be a lot of shows in a while, don't delay too long." ”

Guan Ling didn't step on any lotus leaves, he stepped directly on the lake with light power and went to the lotus platform, lightly lifted his skirt and put it on the lotus platform, and I don't know how, everyone looked at the lotus platform, because as soon as Guan Ling got on the lotus platform, a stone platform appeared in the middle of the lotus platform, and a night pearl on it was extraordinarily bright.

Guan Ling can also dance, although it is only one, but practice makes perfect, after a few movements, Guan Ling tapped his toes, stood on the night pearl, the shawl was blown away by the wind, there was a kind of ethereal feeling of a fairy falling from the sky, the beauty made people dare not breathe, for fear that the beauty would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Guan Ling stood on the night pearl and danced, more often than not, the movements were completed in the air, can you imagine that when she circled in mid-air, the sky blue shawl circled around her, in the air, she grabbed the shawl with one hand, let it be on the ground at will, and after a few light dances, suddenly like a flexible snake rushed into the sky, and the lotus platform shot out ten small lotus flowers from ten sides, falling steadily on the surface of the lake, each lotus flower has a small night pearl, and Guan Ling rolled up the lotus with a shawl, and the ten lotus flowers rose and fell in the air.

"Good!" Someone couldn't help but shout.

Even Emperor Wen Yuan clapped his hands and admired, only Zhiwan was stroking her forehead, how could she think that she was playing with the lotus flower as a ball?

That's right, because Zhiwan said that it would be good to let Guan Ling perform at will, and naturally it would be good to have a sense of beauty, and when she saw the lotus, she felt that it could be used as a ball and a shuttlecock to play, let alone ten. It's twenty, and she can play around.

After playing for a while, Guan Ling quickly sent the lotus back to the lake, and then floated to the ground. With a step on his toes, he flew up with his strength, and the largest night pearl suddenly disappeared from the light, but it lit up again in an instant, and in the middle of the lotus platform was a small lotus, with the night pearl as the heart.

Guan Ling did not fall back to the lotus platform, but flew to the lakeside with light skills, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and smiled sweetly, it turned out that dancing can be so happy.

Duchess Li Guo exclaimed. "Step by step lotus, pearl dance, and dance with butterflies, there are so many tricks that can be played in a lotus platform, which is really eye-opening."

Princess Liuhua smiled. "The lotus platform is a little novel, but it's still Miss Guan's dancing well, I can't think about those movements."

Princess Rui nodded again and again, "There is still a fight for the first place today." ”

When everyone returned to the test table, everyone voted, and the result was that the number of votes for Step by Step Shenglian and Mingzhu Dance was the same. In that case, if there is no accident in the first place of the year, there will be three.

Guan Ling looked at the basket full of peach blossoms, her eyes widened in disbelief, grandpa said that only people who don't have long eyes will give her peach blossoms, and when she meets one or two, she should be secretly happy. I didn't expect there to be so many.

Everyone continued to eat and drink, and continued to watch the competition, but with the step-by-step lotus and Mingzhu dance, no matter how you look at it, I feel that it is too uninnovative and nothing to look at. The number of peach blossoms also decreased considerably.

After another half an hour, everyone finished performing, on the side of the princes, the four princes were the first, everyone was on the side of the show, and the three lords of Jining were tied for the first place.

Princess Rui smiled, "Tie for first place, I don't know what questions the emperor is going to test them?" ”

The fourth prince, Ye Xuanyi, stood up and said, "Father, the sons feel that the hibiscus banquet should be the first to design the lotus platform, and such a delicate mind is the most rare. ”

As soon as Ye Xuanyi's words came out, many people were surprised, that is to say, Guan Ling was excluded, and it should not be the county lord of Jining, Princess Liuhua said before, this lotus platform is not what the county lord thinks, that is the fourth girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?

Ye Guiyue sat there, glanced at Zhiwan, put down the wine cup and said, "The fourth prince wants to marry the king of this county?" ”

Burst! Chu Pei squirted out a mouthful of wine, and many people bit their tongues, what does King Yuejun mean by this, could it be that the lotus platform was designed by him?

Princess Liuhua looked at Zhiwan, "Didn't you give Ji Ning the drawings?" ”

Zhiwan nodded, "I gave it to the county lord, but I didn't draw it, I asked the king of Yue to help, together with the fireworks." ”

Ye Guiyue is helping her, she can't drag others back, the fireworks are what he helped find, what is one more lotus platform?

Ye Xuanyu's eyes turned cold, and the corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth hooked, "The king of this county hasn't performed yet, are you sure you are the first?" ”

The third prince, Ye Xuancheng, sat there, sipping tea, he couldn't imagine that the king of Yuejun would say this for the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, he never performed in front of people, is he going to make an exception today?

Xiangwang Shizi stood up and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the competition is over, and King Yuejun did not participate in the competition, and it will be counted as a waiver according to the regulations." ”

Ye Guiyue played the jade fan and asked lightly, "Has anyone asked the king of this county to perform on stage?" ”

Manager Ye hurriedly pleaded guiltily and said, "It was the slave who was negligent, thinking that the prince of the county would not be able to perform, so he skipped him." ”

Princess Liuhua also knew about this, and Manager Ye asked her, so she said, "It's negligence in the house, or give King Yuejun a chance?" ”

The fourth prince laughed, just because he also wanted to win him, "I want to see how you won the first place!" ”

Princess Liuhua interceded, and the four princes also agreed, of course this opportunity should be given to Ye Guiyue, Ye Guiyue threw the jade fan to Leng Feng, "Bring a sword to the master." ”

Leng Feng quickly sent the sword, Ye Guiyue's bony hand rested on the hilt of the sword, drew the sword out of the sheath, and slashed towards the sky, the locust leaves on the top of his head fell down with a bang, only to feel that the sword light was dazzling, and suddenly, Ye Guiyue threw the sword away, and returned to the scabbard held by Leng Feng.

Look at the test bench again, four big characters written on the leaves of the locust tree: Ye is the first.

Arrogant, arrogant.

The maid came over with a basket, and the lord of Jining gave a peach blossom, afraid that she would not give it later, so she also helped her get one.

The maid walked around, almost no one dared not give the peach blossoms, and the maid finally carried the basket and saluted, "The king of Yuejun has one hundred and sixty-six peach blossoms, one more than the four princes." ”

Ye Xuanyi clenched his fists, "Father." Erchen doesn't care if it's the first or not, but he's too arrogant! ”

The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth raised a bewitching smile, "The fourth prince is the first day to know that I am arrogant today?" ”

"You're ......!" Ye Xuanqi's eyes were gloomy, and his face was covered with coldness. The creaking of fists.

Ye Guiyue smiled at the corner of his mouth, bewitching, but it was like a cold wind in winter, which made people timid, and his voice was as mellow as wine, "If you are not satisfied, you can compare it twice." ”

The coldness in Ye Xuanyi's eyes was even worse, and he took a step forward, which had the meaning of learning, Princess Liuhua was really afraid that they would fight. Her face was dyed with a touch of anxiety, if this is really a fight, she has to demolish her mansion, a few days ago, Chunxianglou was a lesson from the past, and Princess Liuhua has not spoken. The prince of Xiangwang said to Emperor Wenyuan, "Your Majesty, the king of Yuejun is a bully, and he is rampant and domineering on weekdays, no one dares to provoke him, how many people dare not give him peach blossoms?" The four princes are worthy of the name, and everyone expects them! ”

The prince of Weiguo also stood up and said. "Your Majesty, if you really let the king of Yuejun and the four princes learn, the princess's mansion may be the same as Chunfeng Lou, it is better to compare again, but this time it must be fair and just, so that everyone can rest assured and boldly vote. If you think that the talent of the king of Yuejun is not as good as that of the four princes, if the king of Yuejun finds fault for no reason in the future, the emperor will punish the king of Yuejun. ”

After the prince of Weiguo finished speaking, another prince stood up and asked the emperor to agree to the proposal of the prince of Weiguo. Gradually, it almost presented a one-sided scene, Princess Liuhua frowned, is this still worth comparing? As long as the emperor agrees, the peach blossom is their talisman, and if the king of Yuejun does something to them in the future, he can use this as an excuse to ask the emperor to punish him.

But the anger is difficult to offend, if the emperor does not agree, it is to favor the king of Yue, presumably the emperor will also agree, but in this way, the hibiscus banquet is also unfair, Princess Liuhua doesn't know what to do, the county lord of Jining stood up, because he spoke slowly and his expression was not clear, Xiu'er hurriedly said on her behalf, "Princess, in fact, the county lord has prepared other competitions, but in the past, he has always been the leader of talent decisions, does the county lord want to change the rules of the competition?" ”

Princess Liuhua frowned, and hurriedly asked what the rules were, Xiu'er said the next program, that is, the county lord prepared nearly 300 questions, covering all aspects of poetry and songs, clothing, food, housing and transportation, so that everyone present and the talented young masters rushed to answer, answer a question correctly to get a peach blossom, answer a wrong question and deduct a peach blossom, in the end, whoever has more peach blossoms, who is the winner.

Duchess Li Guo praised, "In this way, the winners and losers are obvious to all, but how to group? ”

Xiu'er hurriedly asked the maid to take a bamboo tube, a very large bamboo tube, Xiu'er said, "There are one to twenty-one groups here, let everyone draw the ladies and princes for a while, as long as the numbers are the same, it is a group, because the county lord and the four girls are responsible for selecting the topic, so if they don't participate in the competition, only one hundred and sixty-seven people will participate, and there are only seven people in the twenty-first group, for the sake of fairness, I will give this group two more peach blossoms in a while." ”

Princess Rui smiled and nodded, "It's a good idea, it's just that the group is decided by drawing lots, and it's hard to guarantee that the four princes and the king of Yuejun won't be divided into a group." ”

Xiu'er hurriedly said, "It's okay to be in one group, this is the second show, and there will be a show in a while, the more difficult the topic is, and you can always tell the winner from the loser." ”

Duchess Liguo said, "Miss Guan participated in the guessing question, but the county lord of Jining and the four girls did not participate, how can we determine which of them is the first?" ”

Princess Liuhua also felt that it was inappropriate, this didn't seem to be fair enough, everyone didn't know what to do, Zhiwan beckoned to Xiu'er, muttered two words in her ear, Xiu'er stepped forward and said, "The slave maid has a proposal, this round of competition, the four groups with the most peach blossoms will participate in the next game, whether the group where Miss Guan is is in the fourth group or not, she can participate in the third game, or let the county lord and the four girls also draw a lot, and do not participate in answering the question, but how many peach blossoms will be won by that group for a while, they will have as many peach blossoms." ”

Xiu'er's proposal is very good, several ladies agreed, Zhiwan and the county lord of Jining drew lots, she is the third, and the county lord of Jining is the sixteenth.

After there was no objection, Emperor Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Let's start." ”

Mr. Ye asked the maid to pick it for everyone, starting with everyone's girlfriends, coming around in a circle, just after picking, and then asking everyone to sit back in their positions according to the group, so that there are all the ladies in each group, and there are also young masters, if you look carefully, you will find that everyone's faces are flushed.

The lord of Mingzhu County is in the group of the four princes, Ye Guiyue and Chu Pei are in the group, they also have Qin Zhizhang in this group, and Liu Changsheng, a classmate brought by Qin Zhizhang, everyone is Hou Qingmiao, Yuan Ran, Qian Huan, one of the seven shows, and the other three, one is the second young master of the Zuo Xiangfu, Pei Ce, one is the son of the Ministry of Household Shangshu, Yang Yan, and the other is the second son of the Ministry of Works, and the sentence is wide.

When everyone sat down, the maid sent the bell to their table, and Mr. Ye said, "After a while, the slave will read the question, and the first person who rings the bell answers, there are peach blossoms for the correct answer, and the peach blossoms are deducted for the wrong answers, and other groups can continue to rush to answer, and if they don't answer three times, they will change to the next question." ”

Manager Ye put a big table beside him, which was full of rolled-up questions, there were thirty of them, Manager Ye turned around and asked Princess Liuhua, Princess Liuhua nodded, Manager Ye took a volume question casually, and read, "The following ten questions are the questions of the poems, Lu Cong is white tonight, what is the next poem?" ”

"The moon is the hometown of Ming," Mr. Ye's voice fell, and a man read, but a bell rang over there, and a young master said, "The moon is the hometown of Ming." ”
