After turning around, there was nothing to gain, Liu Hua felt that in addition to their different appearances, these people were all printed in the same mold.

Everyone was polite, elegant, and had a decent smile on their faces, and there was really no difference in it.

Disappointed, they found a remote pavilion to rest, and suddenly heard someone talking behind the bushes, which at first did not attract their attention.

"Brother Lai has a prominent background, and I heard that he has been selected as one of the candidates by the Queen Mother, so he must be victorious this time, right?"

The surname came, and it was a candidate who was determined by the Queen Mother, and the two princesses were familiar with the personnel of the court and China, and soon realized who the other party was.

This person is the son of the Marquis of Zhengqiang, but his son Laihu has already married, so this person must be his second son Laiyan.

Speaking of which, the family is really an old royal family, the first generation of Zhengqiang Marquis Laishu is a famous military strategist and strategist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu is an in-law, and he has won the trust of the other party.

Lai Yan's grandmother is the daughter of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hui, the eldest princess of Wu'an, and her mother is Liu Zhide, the eldest princess of the Ping family, the sister of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty.

His father was a general of the Tiger Ben during the Shun Emperor period, and later retired due to illness, and his brother is now a lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry.

He himself has only learned people, does not rely on his family background, but takes the road of the imperial examination, and now he is young, and he is already a waiter of the Yellow Gate.

The Queen Mother listed him as a candidate, and it was indeed after many considerations, after all, in addition to his family background, Lai Yan herself is also very good.

"I don't want to be chosen, Your Majesty has deliberately suppressed his relatives since he took office, not to mention that I heard that the eldest princess still has a domineering personality.

Now that I have finally earned an orthodox imperial examination background, how can I cut off my future? ”

Although I knew that some of the people who came to the banquet were reluctant, it was another thing to hear it with my own ears.

Liu Hua snorted disdainfully, as if he would definitely choose him, could it be that he thought that his family had been the eldest princess for generations?

"No wonder Brother Lai looks bad today, dare to put on some pretend, I felt strange at the banquet just now, why is your flute so flat."

The two princesses both looked disdainful, this person really racked his brains to do everything in order not to be chosen.

"This Lang Jun must be ashamed of himself, although His Majesty restricts his relatives, it is also aimed at people who are incompetent, but want to rely on nepotism to get to the top, how can he ever target his relatives?"

Liu Hua couldn't help but sneer, "You only look at Nanhai Gong, who was not invited to the court back then, and now he is still a very good minister with his ability?" ”

Lai Yan and her friends deliberately found a remote corner to talk, but they didn't expect to be listened to, and even ridiculed.

Some words are said privately among friends, which is naturally harmless, but once it is pulled to the surface, it is a little inappropriate to say it.

And what he said just now can be big or small, if he is sued in front of the emperor, whether he will be sentenced heavily, it depends on luck.

Lai Yan also knew that she was at a loss, and she didn't want to bother her father and brother because of a few gossips, so she immediately turned out from behind the tree.

Before meeting, one was a bright-looking little palace maid, and the other was a handsome waiter, both of whom were extraordinary.

couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and soon understood that the identity of the other party should not be underestimated, just looking at their down-to-earth and generous temperament, they are not ordinary slaves.

The key is that after hearing his conversation, he dared to openly provoke, which shows that he has a backstage and does not scare him.

At the same time, the two princesses were also looking at him, this person was born with a long and jade body, deep facial features, but his face was sallow, and his face was sickly, which made his originally delicate facial features immediately inferior.

But now they know that this is a deliberate pretence by Laiyan.

"Two, I have a lot of gaffes just now, please don't care."

It's just a face, and the arrogant Lai Yan decided to lower her posture, not wanting to cause trouble for the family.

"Oh, I don't know which sentence Lang Jun said about gaffes? Is His Majesty suppressing his relatives, or is the eldest princess domineering? ”

I thought that he would take the initiative to apologize and take advantage of the situation, but who knew that he was completely wrong.

This little chamberlain is really aggressive.

At this time, Lai Yancai began to look at the other party carefully, and soon found many clues after paying attention, and concluded that this person was a woman and had a noble temperament.

Look at the palace maid next to her, even if she is coated with thick white powder, she can't hide her stunning beauty.

With a thought in his mind, he vaguely understood that the two people in front of him were likely to be the real protagonists of today's banquet, Princess Anyang and Princess Wuyang.

Just as he was about to answer, another person came out from behind him, apparently the one who had just spoken to him.

"Brother, do you need my help?"

This person is very tall, Lai Yan is already tall, but he is half a head taller, and although his appearance is square, his temperament is relatively sharp, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a child of a family.

Lai Yan was worried that he would say something bad again, so she hurriedly turned around to stop him, and lost a look by the way.

"No need, it's all unintentional jokes, I am deeply ashamed here, the eldest princess is noble and dignified, and Your Majesty is also eloquent.

It's really embarrassing for himself, that's why he talks nonsense. ”

After saying this, his friend laughed first, "You don't have to be like this, I know the eldest princess and the princess Wuyang." ”

After that, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Duan Tong, the third-class guard in front of the emperor, has seen two princesses. ”

He is the imperial guard, no wonder he knows the two princesses, presumably on his trip to Chang'an last year, this Duan Tong was also among the guards.

With his age, the rank of the third-class guard in front of the emperor is not low, and he is qualified to participate in today's banquet, which seems to be an extraordinary background.

Liu Sleeve deliberately glanced at him twice, and suddenly realized, "You are the second son of General Zhenxi, yes or no?" ”

Last time in Chang'an, the two princesses had seen Duan Cheng, and his father and son looked very similar.

As soon as he mentioned his name, Liu Hua and Liu Sleeve both guessed it.

"Princess Mingjian, General Duan is my father."

As the general of Zhenxi, Duan Cheng was also a marquis in his early years because of his dragon merit, and his son was eligible to participate in this banquet in any way.

It's just that at the banquet just now, I didn't even see him perform his talents, and it was really strange.

Seeing Liu Sleeve's puzzled eyes, Duan Tong hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, princess, Fang Caichen just happened to get up and change clothes, who knew that it would be his turn, and I have been feeling sorry in my heart." ”

He said it seriously, his expression was very sincere, knowing that he was pinching nonsense, but Liu Hua and Liu Sleeve couldn't get angry.

"Since it's so a pity, then Princess Ben will give you a chance, and it's not too late to perform."

Liu Sleeve's usual personality is relatively quiet, but in front of Duan Tong, he doesn't seem to be restrained.

As soon as she said this, Duan Tong couldn't refuse, there was no way, who called herself cheap.

"Then the minister will be ugly."

He also had the heart to dispel the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the two princesses, after all, he was open-mouthed just now, and he had to ask his friends.

After a deep groan, he said: "I will write a poem today to sing this event." ”

He is behind the gate and the imperial guard, Liu Sleeve thought that he would definitely perform his own martial arts, but he didn't expect it to be a poem.

Under such a contrast, I couldn't help but be curious, and waited for his next step calmly.

Duan Tong thought for a moment, and then groaned:

"The stars move to the age of Qingyang, and they have to be gathered in the jade hall. The dragon and phoenix fly to watch the royal book, and the clouds and clouds are five-colored. Fanglin gradually felt that the breeze was warm, and the fairy world knew that the day was long. He Xingwei is a grand event, and I hope that because of the annals of history, Yu Fang. ”

The two didn't expect that a poem that sang the praises of virtue was written by him so brilliantly, and it was even more difficult to think of his identity.

If this person was not born in the Jiangmen and directly participated in the imperial examination, he would not have been buried.

Liu Sleeve usually likes to dance and write the ink, just now at the banquet, she paid more attention to those who wrote poems, and there were also a few outstanding poems at that time.

It's just that the identity of Duan Tong in front of him is too contrasting, and he feels even more amazing psychologically.

And the Duan Tong in front of her was tall and sharp, which was very different from the literati she usually saw.

This aroused her interest, and she was interested in discussing poetry with him.

It is rare for Liu Hua to see his sister so talkative, and he can't help but wonder, if Wuyang can find a good son-in-law, today's banquet will not be in vain.

Thinking about it like this, looking at Duan Tong again, he felt much more pleasing to the eye, but when he saw Lai Yan's sick face in a blink of an eye, he felt angry again.

Among the group of people carefully selected by the Queen Mother for her, there is indeed a big name of Lai Yan, and she also noticed this person when she was reading the information.

Just looking at the resume, this Lai Yan is indeed very good, he won the Jinshi at the age of nineteen, and he is also the Tanhua of that year.

Now twenty-one years old, he is devoted to his career and has no intention of getting married, so his mother has complained in front of the Queen Mother.

The eldest princess of the Ping family, Liu Zhide, is actually very senior, and if you calculate it carefully, she is still the aunt of Emperor Liu Zhi, which means that Lai Yan is actually Liu Hua's cousin.

However, royal relatives have never paid attention to these details, as long as the conditions are suitable, and they are not direct blood relatives.

"Guard Duan has performed, since I heard that you are deliberately hiding it, shouldn't you also perform it again?"

Liu Hua has a very generous personality on weekdays, but I don't know what's wrong today, but it doesn't please to look at Laiyan, and I always want to make things difficult.

Lai Yan knew that she was at a loss, so she had no choice but to take off the jade flute on her waist, hugged her fists and said, "It's ugly." ”

A wisp of clear sound sounded, and soon the melodious sound of the flute made everyone present intoxicated.

This is a song, elegant and peaceful, as if it can soothe the restless mind, as if people see the sparkling waves, the sunset, and the fisherman singing the fishing song......

Although the literati at this time were all fluent in music, most of the nobles liked elegant and rich songs, and Confucian scholars appreciated simple and melancholy songs.

It's rare to see a style like his, and it's really refreshing.

The key is that he is not only skillful, but also emotionally engaged, and at this point it is not easy.

In addition to liking archery and dancing swords, Liu Hua's favorite thing is music, but she doesn't like elegant guqins and the like, but likes wind instruments such as flutes and flutes.

During the banquet just now, she had paid attention to Lai Yan, but he chose a decent song of wealth and nobility, which failed to arouse Liu Hua's interest.

After a song, the aftermath lingered, and everyone was intoxicated for a long time, and no one spoke again.

"Okay, Brother Lai's skills have grown again, and it's really refreshing."

It was Duan Tong who broke the silence and praised his good brother without hesitation.

At this time, the banquet was nearing its end, and people had already begun to say goodbye one after another.

Lai Yan gave Duan Tong a look, "Two princesses, today's incident is indeed abrupt, I hope I didn't offend the princess." ”

Liu Sleeve has always listened to his eldest sister, and looked at Liu Hua with a pair of bright eyes, and the meaning of begging in it was too obvious.

Knowing that my sister was afraid that she would blame these two people, she couldn't help but feel funny, was she so careful?

"Those who don't know are not guilty, let alone my sisters who eavesdropped on it first."

Lai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Duan Tong to take the opportunity to leave, for fear that she would regret it again.

"Let's go, we should go back to the palace too."

Seeing that Liu Sleeve was still looking at their backs thoughtfully, Liu Hua knew in her heart, it seemed that she had a good impression of this Duan Tong.

Although Duan Tong's name is not among the candidates, Liu Hua feels that the two are a good match.

Duan Tong's surname is straightforward, but there is no lack of delicacy, and he can be opposed to Liu Sleeve's poetry, which is very consistent in all aspects, it is simply a perfect match.

Leaving Fanglin Garden, the two quickly recovered their clothes and went to Yong'an Palace together to resume their lives, and the Queen Mother and Queen were still waiting for their news.

Seeing the two flower-like granddaughters coming together, the Empress Dowager Yun's face smiled like a flower.

Her granddaughters are so good that they deserve to be the best little Langjun in the world.

"How? Is there anything that catches the eye? ”

She knows that Liu Hua's personality is not cowardly, and every time she talks about her marriage, she is very calm and calm, and she never has the shyness of other children.

At this point, Liu Zhi felt a little regretful, his eldest daughter was obviously in love.

"Well, not for the time being, let me think about it a little more."

Liu Hua's answer disappointed the Queen Mother a little, this is already a group of young talents who are the most suitable for all aspects of the Han Dynasty.

But the granddaughter didn't like any of them, and I don't know what she likes.

"What about Wuyang? Do you have a favorite candidate? ”

In desperation, I had to turn my eyes to Liu Sleeve, this girl has always had little idea when choosing things, and she was a little entangled.

Therefore, the Queen Mother is very worried that she will not be able to choose it herself, and when the time comes, I will have to ask her to help make up her mind.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sleeve's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head shyly, and said with a smile.

"I don't know if it's him, he's ......"

For a while, his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't go on, seeing this scene, how could the queen mother and the queen not understand.

It seems that she already has a choice in her heart, seeing that she lowered her head and kneaded her belt with her hand, she was silent, so she had to turn her inquiring eyes to Liu Hua.

"I know this, it's the second son of General Zhenxi, Duan Tong, the imperial guard."

Liu Hua chuckled and said the answer briskly, which made Liu Sleeve more and more shy.

Hearing this name, Empress Dowager Yun was also surprised.
