Chapter 166: Princess Nanping

The Hibiscus Garden occupies a square in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, and part of it protrudes outside the city, surrounded by tall walls. The total area of the Hibiscus Garden is as high as 35 hectares, and the Qujiang Pond is located in the western part of the Hibiscus Garden, with a water surface area of about 7 hectares. The whole Hibiscus Garden is dominated by water features, a piece of natural scenery.

Qujiang Pond is as its name suggests, the shoreline is tortuous and meandering, you can swing boats in the pond, and aquatic plants such as lotus and calamus are planted. In the hibiscus garden on the shore, the pavilions and palaces loom among the flowers and trees, quite a bit of paradise style. It's just that tonight's Furong Garden is full of lights and people!

From the beginning of the two gates in the southeast of the Hibiscus Garden, every twenty steps, a big red lantern is hung high. Follow the winding lakeside path that continues into the Hibiscus Garden. The pavilions and pavilions in the Hibiscus Garden are brightly lit in all directions, and countless exquisite palace lamps will shine on every corner of the Hibiscus Garden!

At this time, the Qujiang night banquet had not really begun, and countless ladies were still wandering around in Qujiang Pond and Furong Garden. seems to be enjoying the beautiful scenery in the park, but in fact, a pair of beautiful eyes are circulating, and they are all carefully looking at those groups of new science and technology scholars. Speaking of the scenery in this Hibiscus Garden, as long as you live in Chang'an City, who has never seen it......

The woman with a lower vision is secretly happy because she has found the true son of heaven she likes; Those with higher vision were quite disappointed, but they secretly comforted themselves in their hearts: there is no hurry, there is no hurry, and now the people present are only Tongjinshi. The real Golden Turtle son-in-law: None of the more than 30 palace test top armor jinshi have yet arrived. Not to mention the legendary Sanyuan Jinshi......

The Ziyun Building in the Furong Garden, a three-story pavilion hall, can accommodate more than 1,000 people to drink and feast. Therefore, this place has become the main venue of this year's Qujiang Night Banquet. At this time, His Royal Highness Li Tai, King Wei of the Tang Dynasty, was sitting on the main seat of the hall, talking and laughing with several people who were full of learning. An official of the Ministry of Rites sat down with him, and from time to time he made a few words of pandering, and bursts of hearty laughter broke out from time to time in the field, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Qin Yifeng, as the deputy chief examiner of Jinke Chunqiu, it is naturally impossible to miss him on such an occasion. Moreover, his position is close to Li Tai, the king of Wei, showing his special status, which is also the result of Li Tai's deliberate request.

As the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and stupid birds fly first. Li Tai has no innate advantage, and if he wants to compete for the position of prince, he needs to pay more. And this Qujiang night banquet is the best time for him to attract contacts. More than 300 new science and technology scholars, even if only a small half of them join his camp, in a few years, it will be a force to be reckoned with!

However, Li Tai's main purpose today was to come to Qin Legacy. Both Li Tai and Li Chengqian know that they are now evenly matched. Under such circumstances, the attitude of Qin Yifeng and their group of ministers loyal to the emperor was particularly important. Li Tai knew that it was too unrealistic to want these ministers to join his camp. But as long as he can get the favor of these ministers who are loyal to the emperor, it is already very good for him. Of course, if he can pick up the grass and beat the rabbit, and even take the new champion Jiang Zhixuan into his pocket, then he will wake up with a smile in his dreams - who doesn't know that the new champion is a very important person for His Majesty today?

Therefore, although he knew that the night banquet had not yet started, he had already arrived at Qujiangchi early, in order to get close to Qin Yifeng and gain the favor of him and the group of ministers loyal to the emperor behind him.

I have to say that his strategy is very correct, and under his deliberate twisting and handing over, many new science and technology scholars have expressed their loyalty to King Wei either explicitly or implicitly. Qin Yifeng also has a good impression of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, although His Royal Highness the King of Wei is sometimes a bit domineering, but his literary talent and martial arts strategy are indeed very similar to the original King of Qin and His Majesty the Emperor Li Shimin!

The time soon came to the beginning of the war, and more and more new science and technology scholars and ladies began to pour into Qujiang Pond and Furong Garden. Although this kind of event is officially held, in order to create a good atmosphere, it does not put too much pressure on the people attending the banquet. There is no official time for people to enter the banquet, as long as you can arrive before the banquet starts.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the crowd near the entrance of the Hibiscus Garden. Many ladies began to exclaim quietly. The commotion here triggered a bigger chain reaction, and many ladies and gentlemen who were visiting the garden paid attention to this side. The guards and soldiers on duty in front of Ziyun Tower hurriedly divided into a team and went to maintain order. Before they arrived, the commotion quickly subsided, and everyone was half a cut shorter. It turned out that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian's Chitose arrival......

Li Chengqian's guards rushed through the crowd rather arrogantly, and opened a way through it for Li Chengqian to pass. Looking at the arrogant and domineering appearance of his guard, a woman in the group of ladies couldn't help but snort coldly. She snorted coldly, causing everyone's eyes to focus on her at once.

I saw this woman, who was only twenty-nine years old, tall and graceful. Dressed in a luxurious palace dress, wearing a dazzling flower on her forehead, bright eyes and bright teeth, willow eyebrows and red lips. Let the new scholars who looked at her gasp: What a peerless face who captivates the city and the country!

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian also heard this cold snort, and turned his face coldly and walked towards this side. made everyone can't help but sweat for this woman: it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is nostalgic for women, and this peerless beauty seems to be very dissatisfied with the behavior of the crown prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince makes trouble because of this and takes this woman away, I am afraid that there will be no good end.

Although he was worried about this stunning woman in his heart, no one dared to stand up and say a good word for this woman. Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming over with a gloomy face, everyone stood aside in fear. The same is true of the two new science and technology scholars who have been flattering beside this woman for a long time, and in front of the prince of a country, they have long lost the courage to confront. Although the beauty is important, her future and net worth are more important......

The stunning woman looked at the actions of these people in front of her, and her heart was full of contempt. Especially the two new science and technology scholars who flattered her very much, they lived for her, died for her, and fought for her all their lives. At this time, like a cat and a mouse, she actually stood cowering and stood far away from her, pointing at herself like everyone else......

As the crowd gradually separated, Li Chengqian finally saw the stunning lady standing in front of him, and suddenly sighed in his heart. The expression on his face also changed rapidly, and he struggled to squeeze out a smile, and said to the woman in a harmonious voice:

"Third sister, why are you here too? Could it be that the third sister also wants to come here to find a proud gentleman? Hehe......". The shriveled laughter let everyone know that he was smiling reluctantly. However, as his words fell, there was another exclamation from the crowd, especially those new science and technology scholars: the stunning beauty in front of him turned out to be the third princess of His Majesty the Emperor today??!!

As if in order to confirm their speculation, after listening to Li Chengqian's words, the stunning woman replied coldly:

"So what? The royal brother is here, can't the sister come? It's the royal brother's guards who are so majestic that my sister is impressed......"

Li Chengqian's face froze, and he was about to get angry, but he heard a burst of happy laughter behind him. He didn't have to look back to know that this was his sworn enemy: Li Tai, the king of Wei, had come over.

Li Tai rushed to the field under the escort of the guards, and saw that it was his sister Princess Nanping and the crown prince Li Chengqian who caused the conflict, and he was very happy. But he didn't want them to quarrel here, and he lost his royal dignity. hurriedly said loudly:

"Nanping, Brother Huang, what are you still doing standing here? Come on, come on, hurry up and enter together, Lord Qin and a few husbands have been waiting for a long time! ”。 said that he would pull Princess Nanping with one hand and Li Chengqian with the other.

Although the two are secretly incompatible, in front of outsiders, especially in front of so many new science and technology scholars, Li Chengqian still knows how to measure. After listening to Li Tai's words, he hurriedly responded with a smile:

"Sins and sins, let the husbands wait for a long time, fourth brother, let's go in ......." Four brothers, four brothers, mortal enemies! The more Li Chengqian screamed, the more depressed he felt, was this bastard really born to be his mortal enemy?

Princess Nanping was not in the mood to sit with a group of old pedants. However, she still has more respect for this Fourth Emperor Brother. After listening to Li Tai, she smiled toothily:

"Thank you for your kindness, but my sister still wants to visit here, so please come in and accompany a few husbands and adults......"

Li Tai understood, but laughed again: "Hahaha, okay, then Gu will not force the royal sister." As he spoke, he leaned into the ear of Princess Nanping, and chuckled a little teasingly:

"If the royal sister takes a fancy to one of the current scholars, just come and tell the royal brother, the imperial brother will invite the father, and ask the father to marry you, hehe!" Princess Nanping is a concubine and a daughter, so Li Tai naturally has no prejudices against her. On the contrary, he took good care of this sister, so he said so.

Princess Nanping was a little unaccustomed to his way of speaking, but waited for him to finish. Princess Nanping still couldn't help blushing slightly, and took a sip gently: "This hasn't been a banquet yet, and the royal brother has started talking nonsense......"

Li Tai laughed when he heard this: "Since the imperial sister is unwilling to join the imperial brother, then go to the garden by herself." But after the banquet begins, the royal sister should not miss the drinking and fighting poems of the new science and technology scholars. ”

Princess Nanping bowed slightly: "Brother Xie Huang, my sister can save it!" ”。 After speaking, he turned around and left with the two palace maids, and when Li Tai saw this, he cast a color to the guard commander beside him. The guard commander understood, and with a wave of his hand, two royal guards followed from a distance, preventing someone from coveting Nanping's beauty and making frivolous and prodigal acts......
