Chapter 42: Poetry and Wine Banquet
The Feige County Lord hid his face and laughed.
"If I blame it, it doesn't seem that I have lost my demeanor, it's just that this time Young Master Gongsun won."
Peach Blossom looked at the smiling Feige County Lord, and made a gesture like a famous lady, this Western County Lord clearly has a plan but has a way to advance and retreat, and it looks like a character with a deep city.
Gongsun Zichao confirmed that Peach Blossom was not injured, and then turned his head and frowned at her.
"Then thank you Feige County Lord."
There seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his words, and the county lord of Feige didn't point it out, but just nodded a little arrogantly, and the voice of Princess Qiluo came.
"Brother Wang?"
"Yuanqi."
"Brother Wang, you ......"
Yuan Qi didn't know that Yuan Jing would come, so he hesitated how to speak.
"Feige County said that today's poetry and wine party is wonderful, and this king happens to be empty."
Yuan Jing spoke first.
"Yes."
Yuan Qi bowed his head.
"Brother Wang, please."
After Yuan Jing left, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
"No wonder Yuanqi doesn't like her, I don't like either."
Gongsun Chao Ke no matter what status he is, he is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and what he says is always based on his own temperament.
"It's fine, she probably didn't mean to."
Seeing that what Gongsun Zichao said attracted the attention of many people, Peach Blossom pulled his sleeve and whispered.
"From now on, you must follow me, keep your head down and don't run around."
Gongsun came and went to the palace frequently, but what happened just now made him suddenly feel that the palace was not a very safe place.
The poetry banquet is a poetry wine to meet friends, which is slightly different from the song water flow, although the two are both using wine as a medium, but the person who raises the glass is not the person who composes the poem.
There will be music and drums on the left side of the poetry banquet, and the drums will be beaten, and the first person who will drink the cup in front of the table can name the people sitting in the table to mention the poem, and the person who is ordered needs to be able to make a poem with the words mentioned by the person who raised the glass.
At the beginning of the banquet, Yuan Jing sat in the main seat, and the first seats under the stage were Yuan Qi and Feige County Lord, and the seats of Gongsun Zichao were also arranged in front, but today Peach Blossom was beside him, so he deliberately sat a little farther away so as not to have anything happen.
"Brother Wang."
Princess Qiluo bowed and Yuanjing nodded, and then she turned around and signaled to the herald.
The regular drum beat sounded, and Peach Blossom knelt behind her grandson, and no one noticed her for a while.
"The rules of the poetry banquet are already clear to everyone, and the first round has begun."
Princess Kira stood up, and everyone gave up.
In the first round, everyone was a little subtle, Chang Shijiang of the Prince's Mansion got this first cup of wine, he named Xie Peifeng and answered, Xie Peifeng was already brilliant, and naturally won a burst of applause, which can be regarded as a good start.
"Here you go."
Peach Blossom was watching the excitement when she felt someone slap her twice, and she looked down to see that her grandson was hiding his left hand under the sleeve of his right hand and secretly stuffing her with a piece of cake.
At this time, remembering that she hadn't eaten, it seemed that Young Master Gongsun was not just a gentleman, and Peach Blossom was a little moved in her heart, and reached out to take the cake.
She looked around, the Xie family arrived, but the Song family did not come, could it be that the previous incident in the Wenhua Club had already reached the palace? Xie Peifeng became famous because of the Wenhua Society, but the Song family fell silent. She lowered her head and took a bite of the pastry, but the gain and loss were only a thought.
There were bursts of cheers at the poetry banquet, Yuan Jing was in power, and Yuan Qi's heart that planned to fight with the county lord of Feige had to be restrained.
"Princess Qiluo, there are really many talents in the royal capital, even I am a little eager to try."
Yuan Qi didn't expect the Feige County Lord to take the initiative herself, and she was thinking about what to do next, but a person stood up.
Cousin? Yuan Qi was thinking about the poetry banquet, but he forgot that his cousin would come today, but why did his cousin sit so far away......
"Then I'll name the Lord of Feige!"
Gongsun Zichao drank all the wine in the cup, and the county lord of Feige sat calmly in place.
"What do you want to mention?"
"Arrows."
Gongsun Zichao said casually, the county lord of Feige stood up, and at the moment she stood up, Peach Blossom was keenly aware of a trace of unusual fluctuations, which felt very similar to Mo Ming when he was in the dark on weekdays, she caught a trace of breath left in the southeast corner, and then looked at it but there was nothing.
Peach Blossom knows that her intuition is beyond ordinary people, Mo Ming's light skills are already difficult for anyone to compare with in the rivers and lakes, and if you can have this kind of body in and out of the palace, you will never be an ordinary person.
"Pingming is looking for white feathers, not in the stone ridge, free peach blossom fan, Qiankun ten thousand horse chests."
Just as Peach Blossom was thinking, the Lord of Feige had already recited the poem.
"Good poems, good poems, white feathers are arrows, and the county lord of Feige is talented."
Someone at the banquet complimented.
The Feige County Lord turned her head to glance at Yuan Jing's expression, and seeing that Yuan Jing's expression was the same, she frowned slightly as if she was a little puzzled.
"It's just this peach blossom fan, but it's unheard of."
Gongsun said casually.
"The peach blossom fan refers to the peach blossom tree, just like a folding fan."
The county lord of Feige pointed over, and everyone saw that there was indeed a peculiarly shaped peach blossom tree not far away.
"It turns out that this fan is not the other."
Gongsun arched his hand, he squinted at the expressionless servant beside the Feige County Lord, this servant followed the Feige County Lord from the moment he entered, but he didn't even have a single movement or expression, it was really strange.
"Gongsun Zichao, did she use the secret technique of sound transmission?"
He was thinking about it when he heard Peach Blossom whisper beside him.
"There are no emotional ups and downs, except for sound transmission, it is estimated that there is also a mask."
Gongsun Chao whispered like a drinker.
"I don't know what it means."
"It doesn't make sense for me to see such exchanges, it just so happens that everyone who came to the banquet today has brought their own slaves, so it is better for the slaves to have a game, and we can rest and rest."
Princess Qiluo saw that this cousin did not let the Feige County Lord defeat and simply proposed, Peach Blossom's hand holding the cake paused in the air, what kind of idea is this?
The Feige County Lord had an interesting look on his face, and Peach Blossom swore that she could even feel the Feige County Lord glancing at this side, as for whether he was looking at her or Gongsun Chao, it was unknown.
"Yuan Qi, the royal family banquet, why is it so child's play."
Yuan Jing, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, his voice was clear, and there was no blame in his tone, as if he was just praising a trivial matter.
"Brother Wang."
Yuan Qi's voice lowered.
"Your Majesty, since Princess Qiluo likes it, this poetry banquet has passed six rounds, and it seems that everyone is tired, before Feige dared to ask the Queen Mother for a favor, the king has not forgotten."
The county lord of Feige said with a gentle smile, Yuan Jing tilted his head a little indifferently.
"The king remembers."
"Feige wants to use this grace today to make Princess Kira wish."
Yuan Jing looked up at her.
"The Queen Mother was present that day, and promised to grant you a wish, and you want to use this wish here?"
"I am quite taken care of by Princess Qiluo in the royal capital, and I should repay it."
Yuan Qi said loudly, and everyone who was closer to the scene could hear it clearly.
Yuan Jing raised his hand when he heard this.
"That's it."
