Chapter Twenty-Six: Going to the Feast

Ah Qiao took Tang Yun out of the yamen of the Shendu Mansion, and a carriage had already parked in front of the door.

The carriage carried the two and quickly drove eastward, Shendu Mansion is different from other yamen in the capital, although it is an important place in Beijing, but it belongs to the state capital level, so the yamen is not placed in the imperial city.

The carriage soon reached the main street, and as it grew dark, most of the stalls and shops on both sides were closed. Some Wuhou leaned lazily against the wall, and after a while it would be their night patrol.

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells next to the carriage, and Tang Yun pulled the curtain on the window lattice, just in time to meet the eyes of the carriage in the same direction.

This should be the rich lady of whose family came out to play, traveling together, and the clothes were swaying. Seeing a strange man looking at her, the girl's face was full of shame, and she quickly closed the curtains.

"Brother Tang is really interesting, obviously I am next to you, but you have to look at those sparrows in the boudoir. Could it be that you just like these ladies? ”

Ah Qiao's eyes were like silk, lying lazily beside Tang Yun.

Tang Yun frowned, dodged Ah Qiao's hand without a trace, and said in a deep voice: "Tonight is not a festival, why are there so many people walking together?" ”

Seeing Tang Yun dodging her hand, Ah Qiao couldn't help but snort and said, "There is a lantern festival in Tianshui Lake tonight, and the students of Taixue, Guozijian, Hongwen Pavilion and Cangyun Academy will gather here to hold a poetry feast. Those young talents are the pillars of the future of the Great Zhou, these warblers and Yanyan will naturally go, if they can find their future husband, it will naturally be the best. ”

Tang Yun sighed, he really hadn't relaxed well when he came to this dynasty. As for what lantern festival, he won't care at all.

The carriage passed through the streets and finally stopped in front of the square gate of the North Market, where many horse-drawn carriages also stopped at this moment, and the crowd was crowded, and scholars dressed in scribe shirts and brocade robes could be seen everywhere.

Although it was already dark tonight, the shops on both sides were not closed as usual, and the merchants were shrewd, so such a grand event would naturally attract many people to participate.

The air is filled with the aroma of freshly made steamed cakes, and the strong aroma of glutinous rice and the aroma of lotus leaves are diffused in all directions.

"Brother Tang, please!"

Ah Qiao smiled and grabbed Tang Yun's arm, took off the white hat, and the green silk was scattered, like a fairy in the clouds, bright and moving. Many people's eyes began to watch.

"Fengluan Pavilion?"

Tang Yun glanced up at this beautiful attic, countless ribbons fluttering in the wind, hunting sound. There were a few maids standing outside the door, but Tang Yun still noticed that there were a lot of gloomy eyes in the dark.

These people were supposed to be guards, but they were dressed in plain clothes, wearing only brocade clothes and swords at their waists.

Ah Qiao led Tang Yun into this pavilion, it seemed that His Royal Highness King Yan was not ready to make a big noise, the entire Fengluan Pavilion was still open, and the hall on the first floor was already full of people, pushing cups and changing lamps everywhere, and there were bursts of laughter.

The two of them went to the top floor, and when they arrived, the noise seemed to be cut off.

There are only a few private rooms on the top floor, which do not interfere with each other. There were several guards standing in front of the door of a private room, all of them like water. Ah Qiao suddenly let go of Tang Yun's arm, pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Tang, His Highness is inside." ”

Tang Yun walked in, and the door was closed by Ruoshui behind him.

As the largest Accord in the North City, Fengluan Pavilion is not only luxuriously decorated, but also covers a wide area. Behind the Fengluan Pavilion is the famous Tianshui Lake, which is rumored to come from the nine heavens and is quite spiritual, and often attracts many literati and ink writers to gather here.

Fengluan Pavilion is located in the northwest of the entire North City, which is very close to Sigongfang, and the edge of Tianshui Lake happens to be where the Yanwang Mansion is located.

Now, the prince of the Great Zhou sat in front of Tang Yun and beckoned to him.

Yan Wang dressed very simply, just like an ordinary idle guest, with a round neck and a wide placket, wearing a hood, leisurely.

"Lord Tang, I heard that you have been very busy lately, I won't delay you in doing things, right?" King Yan poured the wine himself and pushed the wine glass in front of Tang Yun.

In front of others, the prince generally calls himself Lonely, but at this moment, he calls himself me.

Tang Yun hurriedly caught the wine glass, bowed and said: "Now that the matter of catching demons is naturally done by his subordinates, His Royal Highness's invitation, the lower officials will never dare to shirk it." ”

King Yan waved his hand: "You don't have to be like this in front of me, Lord Tang saved my life, and that is my friend Lu Yuanzheng." There are no princes here, only friends. ”

Tang Yun bowed again: "Then I will thank Your Highness." ”

This thank you is not that King Xie Yan regards him as a friend.

When today's son is a woman, it is rare in ancient times, although it has been established for several years, but since the death of the former prince, there has been no more prince. There is no prince in the country, and the minds of the people below have also begun to liven up.

It is worth mentioning that the empress does not have a maternal family. The empress was originally a woman brought back from the people when the former Chaoyang Emperor Bai Arowana was suited, and then started as a talented person, and stepped into the position of the queen step by step in the harem of the deceitful people.

Therefore, most of the current royal families of the imperial court are the royal families of the previous dynasties, which is rare since ancient times.

There are many princes of Great Zhou, but those who are qualified to ascend the throne are most likely King Yan and King Liang, for no other reason, just because the two of them are the empress's biological sons.

It can be seen from the forces controlled by the two princes that the civil and military forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty are fighting fiercely, but there is the empress's secret behind this.

Tang Yun does not prepare a team, the Demon Hunting Division Yamen is special, although he has great power, he is also the most dangerous and busy. They don't need to be attached to anyone, as long as there are monsters in this world, the status of the Demon Hunter will remain transcendent.

King Yan didn't force Tang Yun's team, whether it was to let Ah Qiao come over and invite him, or to act so low-key, in fact, it was just for Tang Yun's sake. Otherwise, if Tang Yun really talked to King Yan about wine, others would inevitably make a fuss about it when they saw it.

"This Fengluan Pavilion is my property, although the mother emperor gave me this Tianshui Lake, but it is better to be happy alone, I built this Fengluan Pavilion for everyone to have fun together."

Today, there are several pleasure boats floating on the lake. The lanterns on the cruise ship are bright, shining, and laughter is endless from the inside.

In the center of the lake there is an island reef, in which a small building is arranged, the building has six floors, and the bottom pavilion is lined with people.

"There is a grand fireworks show tonight, as well as poetry exchanges between several major academies in the capital, and of course, there is also the Xia Skirt Moon Veil, Fan Dai Beauty, I heard that Lord Tang does not have a family yet, this can't be missed."

Tang Yun hugged his fists and said: "What His Highness said is yes, Tang has thanked me here." ”

King Yan laughed, drank all the wine in the cup, pointed to the islands and reefs on the lake and said with a smile: "The highlight is out, but you can't miss it." ”

There is a stone platform on the island and reef in the distance, and at this moment the tent gradually falls, and there is a beautiful shadow on the stage, dancing with long sleeves, singing and dancing.

"This is the Oiran in the Fengluan Pavilion, the dance is graceful, Lord Tang was entrusted with a heavy task by His Majesty when he came back from Mobei, I'm afraid I haven't had time to appreciate it, my Da Zhou woman's Hao-toothed moth eyebrows, right?"
