Now that I have been out for a few days, I may have experienced some hardships, but I can't stand it anymore, I want to go home very much, and I can't pull it off, so I have to continue to fool around in Xuancheng so that I can find a step down.

Ye Qing beckoned to Qiao'er and Fu Bo and motioned for them to leave together. Then he turned back to Xuanyue and said, "Okay, we're done with this meal, and we'll leave." I gave you the money bag, and you don't have to pay back the money. As for whether you can go back or not, you can do it yourself. ”

Seeing that Ye Qing left without looking back, leaving him here alone, Xuan Yue was angry. Facing Ye Qing's back, he scolded in a low voice, "Hmph, just leave me a girl here, I don't have any grace at all." Whoever marries who is unlucky!"

......

In the blink of an eye, it was not a few days before the birthday banquet of the lord of Xuanguo, and on this day, a group of people suddenly came to Ye Qing's door, they came from the Xuanguo Palace, and the purpose was to send invitations to Ye Qing.

During the three days of the birthday of the monarch, the monarch will hold a banquet in the palace to gather all the young and handsome people of Xuanguo to meet friends with literature and poetry, and provide a platform for everyone to exchange and compete.

Annex.

Ye Qing sat quietly in the secret room. Flipping through the news from all over the world that Jinyiwei had recently sent back. A few of them caught his attention: For this birthday banquet, the six major families of Xuanguo have sent their own elites who have been hidden, and they have all gathered in Xuancheng, but they will all be low-key, and ordinary forces do not know.

In addition to the local literati of Xuanguo, some young people from the nearby vassal states also came to Xuancheng, firstly, to increase some experience and knowledge, and secondly, to see if Xuanguo had any opportunities to make their own achievements.

After all, most scholars hope to get ahead and return to their hometowns in good clothes, but the opportunity is rare, and there are not many opportunities to perform.

What interests Ye Qing the most is the last one: the Xiao family, one of the six major families of Xuanguo, was married to the dean's family of Xuancheng College more than ten years ago, and this year it happens that both parties to the marriage are adults and can get married, and the eldest son of the Xiao family has already set off from the back cover of the family half a month ago and came to Xuancheng to complete the marriage!

Ye Qing looked at the information on the table and couldn't help but ponder. The six major families of Xuanguo all existed before the founding of Xuanguo, and their strength is much stronger than Ye Qing, not to mention the heritage, just the territory area and population, Ye Qing and the six major families are not comparable.

The six major families can be said to be the founding heroes of Xuanguo, and the relationship with Xuanguo is not so much a courtier as a partner, and the strength of the six families together accounts for almost half of Xuanguo's strength.

Each of the six major families has a county territory as their own fiefdom, and they are all large counties, each county has a population of hundreds of millions, you know, this Xuanguo only has a population of about 1.5 billion or 1.5 billion, and Guan is the children of the six major families account for almost half.

Moreover, in addition to the forces in their own territories, the major families also sent their children to serve in various key positions in Xuanguo, almost monopolizing most of Xuanguo's official positions, especially in the army.

The Xiao family is the best of the six major families, especially in the army, and it is even stronger, it can be said that in some places, the military orders of the lord of Xuanguo may not be as effective as the orders of the Xiao family.

As for Xuancheng College, it is the highest institution of learning in Xuanguo, and almost half of the Xuanguo elites are gathered in it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the future of Xuanguo, because at least 90% of the middle and high-level officials in Xuanguo are from Xuancheng College.

As such an important college, the dean is certainly not something that ordinary people can do.

The dean of this session is the strongest person in Xuanguo, a master of the Hanlin level, and the imperial uncle of the current lord of Xuanguo, who is almost two hundred years old, and can be said to be a figure like Xuanguo's Dinghaishen Needle.

This marriage can be said to be a political transaction between the royal forces of Xuanguo and the six major families, and it is also a compromise in disguise, but Xuanguo does have to do this, and the power of the six major families is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached the point where it can influence the Xuanguo court.

As long as the six major families are willing, they can almost make Xuanguo change the sky, but although the six major families are unanimous on the surface, they themselves also have a lot of competition, and even some families still have this deep hatred between them, and it is impossible to concentrate all their forces to deal with the royal family, otherwise the royal family will die early.

However, these things have nothing to do with Ye Qing, after all, with Ye Qing's current power, he is not qualified to get involved in the battle between them.

Moreover, the more trouble they made between them, the more beneficial it was to Ye Qing, and Ye Qing wished that they could make a fuss between them, and finally take advantage of the chaos to develop Qingyunling.

On the day of the birthday banquet, early in the morning, Ye Qing was called by Qiao'er, and then several aunts who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately dressed Ling Tian carefully from the inside to the outside! After tossing for an hour, Fang Zai let Ye Qing go.

People are like jade, horses are like dragons, Ye Qing is already handsome and chic, this deliberate dress is even more outstanding, and it has attracted most people's attention along the way.

An hour of dressing up! My God, Ye Qing screamed in his heart! For Ye Qing, who usually didn't add up to three minutes after getting up, washing his face, brushing his teeth, and relieving his hands, this hour's dressing up was hell.

Behind him, several guards glanced at Ye Qing in confusion, and they didn't know what happened to the lord who was not afraid of heaven and earth today? Could it be that he heard that the palace was full of beauties, and he couldn't wait for a moment with excitement? Everyone smiled strangely, and chased after him.

I have to say that the palace of Xuanguo is still very good, not only covers a wide area, the building is also very grand, and the materials are also very exquisite, but the architectural style is a little dull, almost all the houses are the same, it can be said that people who have lived in it for many years are very likely to get lost in the palace.

When Ye Qing arrived, the palace banquet hall was already full of people, but Ye Qing was not well-known in the aristocratic circle of Xuanguo, most people didn't know him, Ye Qing was also happy, hiding in a corner alone to eat and drink, and the banquet officially began after a while.

In the palace, the crowd rubbed shoulders one after another, and the envoys of the lords from all over the country arrived to celebrate the birthday of the lord. All kinds of strange things were sent up, which opened Ye Qing's eyes.

The gifts of Ye Qing's territory are naturally handed over to Fu Bo, after all, except for some small forces, there is no lord or head of the family who will personally give gifts to others, just when the person arrives, half of the gifts are handed over by the next person.

With more and more people coming, the gifts sent from all over the country are about to pile up, and there are more and more novelty things. "Dingguohou, give ten deep-sea pearls and one rippling blue feather"

"Nanshan Hou, give ten black jade coral beads, a pair of purple gold jade bi"

"Chishui Bo, give a set of splendid fairy clothes and a Qinghong sword"

"Xiao family, give a five-grade spirit book (rubbing)"

As soon as these words came out, people looked at the door. For them, the territorial courtiers of the Xuanguo, and the dignitaries of the imperial court, the names of the six major families are like thunder. I saw an old man at the door, with a few younger disciples behind him, walking in proudly.

Sitting on the main seat, the lord of Xuanguo, who had been smiling, also took the initiative to stand up at this time, and arched his hand towards everyone in the Xiao family, which can be regarded as a greeting.

With the Xiao family's gold and jade in front, although the gifts in the back are novel, there have never been items of too high value, so it can be said that tonight's birthday banquet gifts, the Xiao family is dominant.

The next step is to get to the point, first of all, a beautiful song and dance.

Ye Qing turned his head to look at the back of the hall and came out, with a beautiful complexion, Fang Dang Shaoling, a woman with a delicate body.

These women are all singers in the palace, trained since childhood, and their skills are very extraordinary.

Such music, dreamy and charming, delicate face to the fullest!

Graceful dancing, wonderful charm but not vulgar and profligate, but has a kind of elegant and detached temperament, giving people a feeling of appreciating excellent works of art.

"The waist is suspiciously folded, and the sleeves are about to fly.

The fog is light and red, and the wind is bright and purple rose!"

As the dancing girls leaned over and slowly retreated, a clear voice sounded, and a handsome and elegant young scholar stroked his palms and chanted, "Okay!

Since it is the Lord of the Xuan Kingdom who provides us with a platform for exchanging friends, we naturally don't want to live up to our good intentions, so why don't we express our talents and meet friends with poetry?" At this time, a scholar in a green shirt shouted loudly.

Another scribe stood up with a pot, and shouted in a loud voice: "It is indeed wonderful to meet friends with poetry and express their talents!

"This is the palace, and today is the birthday of the lord of the country, why don't we wait for the birthday celebration?" In the camp of the Xiao family, a dignified scribe stood up and shouted, paused, and raised his glass to signal everyone, "No, Xiao Yin, from the Xiao family, just offer an ugly word!"

"The sassy and talented man of the year,

A pillar in the middle. ”

"Wonderful! Brother Xiao is really talented! Under Guo Ji, from the Guo family, I salute Brother Xiao!"

"It's enough to have a confidant in life!Respect and treat Brother Guo with respect!" Xiao Yin's eyes lit up, and he raised his glass in praise and drank heavily.

"Then Guo Mou is ugly!" Guo Jihao shouted in response:

"The vicissitudes of life are not old,

The descendants of Fuyin will be forever safe and healthy,

The world is full of family prosperity,

I only wish to put Shoutang every year. ”

The audience applauded, the warm atmosphere was like a wave of the sea, and all the proud and talented Confucian scholars sang and indulged.

Most of the people who can come to the birthday banquet today are really talented and learned, and some simple birthday poems will not be able to stump them at that time.

However, Ye Qing didn't join in the fun, he originally came with the mentality of playing soy sauce, and it was good to try not to show up if he didn't come forward, and it would be bad to make enemies with others.

However, Ye Qing wanted to dodge, but trouble did take the initiative to find him.
