As the hourglass in the hall of the Purple Cloud Building gradually emptied, the entire hall began to slowly quiet. Li Chengqian's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. Qin Yifeng listened to the officials around him and the whispered discussions below, and he was already a little anxious and couldn't sit still: How could this Xuan'er be so ignorant on such an occasion? Only Li Tai looked like an old god, sitting as steady as Mount Tai, and taking a sip from time to time with a wine glass......

Just when the hourglass was about to run out, it was almost the middle of the hour. There was finally a commotion outside the gate of Ziyun Tower, and nearly a thousand literati and small jade who could not enter Ziyun Tower let out a roar in unison. It's just that this roar is a mixed reputation.

Jiang Zhixuan and Li Qin hurried and finally arrived at Qujiangchi in the last quarter of an hour before the start of the Qujiang night banquet. But he was blocked by the crowd on the periphery of Ziyun Tower, and he couldn't enter the hall. Fortunately, a few new science and technology scholars who knew him greeted him, and the crowd got out of the way and let the two of them go towards the hall.

Although he never deliberately dressed up, Jiang Zhixuan was born with a jade tree in the wind and handsome eyebrows. Coupled with his kind but shy smile, he suddenly caused major damage among these small jasper families on the periphery. After seeing his warm and jade-like smile, many women's hearts accelerated sharply, and finally broke with a bang, bringing a burst of distressed throbbing......

And another latecomer, Li Qin. It is a good explanation to everyone of what it means to 'draw a tiger is not an anti-dog'. The outfit he wore when he went out was indeed very selling. It's just that after coming out of the Li Mansion, he suddenly had a whim, ran to the ready-to-wear shop and rented a black robe embroidered with peonies and put it on his body, turning the only bright spot on his body: vitality, into twilight at once.

So much so that everyone in the audience looked at him as if they were looking at a monkey with a difference. irreversibly became the green leaf that foiled Jiang Zhixuan's red flower, or the kind of green leaf that couldn't be whispered - having come all the way, it was really a big test for his chubby figure......

Entering the hall of Ziyun Building, the two of them suddenly felt a huge pressure. More than a thousand pairs of eyes looked at the two of them in unison. There are accidents, explorations, doubts, appreciation and ...... Hue!

Yes, but it's color, and the source of these eyes is the groups of ladies and the maids around them. Generally speaking, in order to highlight one's differences, whether in ancient times or in later generations, no matter what kind of celebrations or meetings, the last person to appear is usually a big person. The crown prince Li Chengqian was like this today, he could already be regarded as pinching the point, arriving a quarter of an hour before the banquet began. What made him angry was that this Jiang Zhixuan actually arrived later than him, and the moment he entered the Ziyun Tower, he was full of light and unlimited. inevitably suppressed the limelight of his talents. Let the hundreds of ladies who are looking forward to it below, everyone sigh in their hearts: What a good "> of the beautiful sons of the turbid world, the charm is boundless......

Jiang Zhixuan didn't want to be like this, he was delayed by Li Qin, a troubled teenager who was always in trouble, in the ready-to-wear shop for half an hour. Seeing that so many people were paying attention to him, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a straight face on the throne, he was slightly nervous in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mentality: No matter what, he was not late!

The main hall is far less chaotic than the outside, with rows of seats neatly arranged and an aisle in between. Jiang Zhixuan and Li Qin hurriedly walked through the aisle and bowed to the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Wei first. He kowtowed and thanked the teacher, that is, Qin Yifeng, the deputy chief examiner of this branch of Chunqiu! Then he saluted a few celebrities in the venue, and finally turned around and waved his hand to all the new scholars and other guests in the venue. Then the two of them went back to their places and sat down!

As soon as his buttocks were sitting next to the couch, Jiang Zhixuan heard Li Chengqian snort coldly:

"Hmph, on such an occasion, it was too late, and there was not even a word to say?"

"Uh...... Please forgive your sins. The minister didn't know that the opening time of the Qujiang night banquet was ...... earlier." Jiang Zhixuan listened to Li Chengqian's rebuke, he was stunned at first, and then reacted immediately, the prince was obviously deliberately trying to embarrass him.

Since Li Chengqian designed to exile him from the East Palace, he has no good impression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And some of the things that happened after that, as well as Li Chengqian's favor of Zhu Xin and Wu Siyuan, made Jiang Zhixuan more and more hopeless about His Royal Highness the Prince. Therefore, he fought back like this, neither soft nor hard.

Anyway, when I entered the hall, the hourglass hadn't been drained. In other words, he arrived before the middle of the battle, and he was not late at all. However, he can't correct His Royal Highness the Prince, and he can't say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wrong. Therefore, it is used in this way: Does the original battle start in the middle of the hour? I arrived in the middle of the war, you guys brought the time forward, I don't know, hehe......

When Li Chengqian heard this, his face immediately darkened. But he had no reason to blame Jiang Zhixuan, because the time of the banquet had not been advanced, but they had arrived in advance. Li Tai next to him was secretly happy in his heart, but he hurriedly said a round:

"Hehehe, no advance, no advance, Jiang Zhuangyuan came at the right time!". As he spoke, he turned to Li Chengqian and asked symbolically:

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, since everyone has arrived, let's start, right? Fewer words"

Li Chengqian was so depressed that he couldn't do it, this sworn enemy, set the tone to death with one sentence. Although he didn't say it directly, who in the audience still didn't understand that he was deliberately picking on thorns? Secretly added a grudge against Li Tai in his heart, but he had to smile helplessly on his face:

"Let's have a feast!"

Drums are playing in the hall at the moment. Li Chengqian stood up with his wine glass in his hand and said a word of encouragement, which was nothing more than congratulating the new science and technology scholars on their leap into the dragon gate, encouraging them to be honest and honest officials, benefiting the people, and serving the imperial court. The shriveled toast was quickly finished, because this Qujiang night banquet was mainly set up for celebration, and if it was dressed in too many official colors, it would not be beautiful.

On the side of the hall near the doorway, the seats of the ladies were arranged, separated by a translucent beaded curtain. At this time, within this bead curtain, at least half of the ladies were paying attention to the new Sanyuan Jinshi. The rebuke of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heard by everyone. This new champion of the department answered so skillfully without being humble or arrogant, and his talent certainly made these maids worship. However, what makes everyone even more obsessed is: If it were not for His Majesty's favor, Jiang Zhixuan, the new champion, would not dare to treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, right? It seems that His Majesty's re-entry is true......

Among this bunch of ladies, the princess of Nanping, who is beautiful and fragrant, is also brilliant in her eyes at this time. On the one hand, she has already heard of Jiang Zhixuan's character and talent; On the other hand. can face the majesty of the prince without being frightened in such a large public, this bearing and courage are much better than those soft eggs who are useless.

"This is my good match, this is the wishful husband I dream of!". Princess Nanping thought in her heart that in her opinion, as long as she took the initiative, this matter would definitely come naturally. She is a princess, and he is the champion of the new department. The champion and the princess have always been a good story in the world......

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually warmed up. At that moment, Li Chengqian opened his mouth first:

"Fourth brother. Lord Qin, how can there be no poetry if there is wine? Especially on such a festive occasion, and the field is full of elites among the talents of my Celestial Empire. Why don't you ask Lord Qin to arrange one or two, and invite our new science and technology scholars to show their strengths, so that many guests in Chang'an City who are here today can also understand the romance of the new science and technology scholars, how about it? ”

Li Tai put down his wine glass and smiled slightly: "That's right!" How about bothering Lord Qin to be this host? ”。 Saying that, he gently bowed his head towards Qin Yifeng! Qin Yifeng had no reason to be unacceptable, and nodded again and again!

This is the proper meaning of the question, if it is so hard to mobilize people to gather together, just to eat and drink, it is too much to say. You must know that in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, no matter the official and the people, whether rich or poor, they all love poetry, even the women of the Qinglou can even chant poems! Qujiang Night Banquet, such a grand event, if it can't produce some swan songs, then it's a shame......

At that moment, Qin Yifeng stood up from his seat. He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official has a proposal, today's Qujiang Night Banquet is held for the new science and technology scholars in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. However, our new champion has made you wait for a long time. Therefore, this official proposes to let Zhuang Yuanlang write a poem to show punishment, what do you think? ”

Everyone in the field naturally applauded, and let Zhuang Yuanlang appear at the beginning, such a beautiful thing is naturally very good! Li Chengqian also bowed slightly, and Qin Yifeng said this, which was tantamount to admitting Fang Cai's accusation against Jiang Zhixuan. I was happy in my heart: Jiang Zhixuan, Jiang Zhuangyuan, this is not proposed by this palace! If you want to complain, blame yourself...... And this Lord Qin! He didn't even know the relationship between Qin Yifeng and Jiang Zhixuan......

In the ladies hall. Countless famous ladies are also looking forward to it. These famous ladies are all worthy of being knowledgeable. You must know that this is the Tang Dynasty at this time, and it is far from the perverted theory of "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented" in the Song Dynasty. As long as the family is able, most people will ask their husbands to teach their children.

Therefore, if you really want to say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, then most of the maids in this Ziyun Building today are very "lacking in virtue......
