The two of them drank the mountain flowers and bloomed, cup after cup.

Shen Zhixi now understands the meaning of this poem.

Peach blossoms were planted all over the Tang pear courtyard, she and Gu Yuan sat and played chess, because she drank some wine, her cheeks seemed to be dyed with crimson Luoxia, and she was intoxicatingly beautiful.

Gu Yuan stared at her quiet expression, stunned.

Shen Zhixi fiddled with the bamboo dragonfly in hand: "You are really bold, Cui Xianchun's son dares to move." ”

"He was the first to speak disrespectfully, and I was not at fault for hitting him, and the reward and punishment were clear."

Shen Zhixi nodded, "You have already come to the palace to deal with the aftermath?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled but did not answer, raised his hand and landed a piece directly below the chessboard.

One son is the best thing.

Shen Zhixi put the chess pieces in her hand back into the chess box and said softly, "How is Nian'er?" ”

She asked Gu Nianqiu.

"I'm still in good spirits, but I'm still recuperating."

Shen Zhixi nodded: "That's fine." ”

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan asked: "Zhao Mengde's matter, His Royal Highness wants to kill chickens and monkeys?" ”

"Kill him, and I won't have a way out, just like this game of chess."

Gu Yuan stared at the chess game, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Shen Zhixi shook her head: "Ah Heng is in Xiyuan, even I can't see him." ”

"What's next, how is Your Highness going next?"

Shen Zhixi rubbed her eyebrows, as if she was a little impatient, "A bunch of incompetent people, from last winter to now, it's time to restrain a little." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhixi realized that she was making a nameless fire at Gu Yuan, and hurriedly waved her hand, "It's not about you, Ah Yuan." ”

Gu Yuan smiled lightly, "It's okay." ”

"Let them leave Yandu, and don't come back again in this life." Shen Zhixi sighed, "Save them from dangling in front of my eyes all day long, and it will be annoying to watch." ”

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, "Wasn't it good a few days ago, why are you upset today?" ”

Shen Zhixi frowned and pushed him a stack of folds, "Well, just look at it." ”

Gu Yuan took the fold in confusion.

"The first thing, the palace test list has been released. In two days, a grace banquet will be held, and many affairs will have to be handled by the palace himself, which is troublesome. ”

Gu Yuan: "......"

Are you sure this is not a good thing?

"Tang Xiujin also participated in this year's palace exam." Shen Zhixi sighed, "Tang Xiujin was born in a family, and his father had already allowed him to enter the Hanlin Academy when he was alive, and now that he is in high school, how to place him is a troublesome matter." ”

She is angry when she mentions Tang Xiujin now, she hates the young Shoufu who sent her on the road with her own hands, and she also hates why she was blind to this white-eyed wolf in the first place.

Tang Xiujin was promoted to the seventh rank in two years, and sat in the position of the squire of the Criminal Department, so that he was able to take over his power in the court after his teacher Xie Zhen Zhishi.

Then he rejected dissidents and cronyism, completely opening the prelude to ten years of party struggle.

It was he who ruined the Shen family! Ruined Jokhang!

Shen Zhixi calmed down and continued.

"The second thing, on the night of the Enrong Banquet, the vassal kings from all over the country will enter Beijing to congratulate." Shen Zhixi wrenched his fingers and said one by one, "The King of Qin and the King of Qi have already arrived in the capital a few days ago, and the King of Chu is too sick to get out of bed, so he asked the prince to come for him." ”

"It's all your relatives." Gu Yuan smiled.

"It's like your cousin Gu Huaixia didn't marry King Suning, so I still have some relatives with you." Shen Zhixi teased.

Gu Yuan: "......"

"Straight to the point, the third thing." Shen Zhixi's expression suddenly became solemn.

Gu Yuan saw that she looked like she was facing a great enemy, and he didn't feel a little cute, "What? ”

"The marriage of three." Shen Zhixi deliberately skipped the person's name, "Look at what is written on the fold." ”

"Today's saint Shen Heng, the prince of Chu Shen Qiao, and ......"

"And me, Zhaoyang eldest princess Shen Zhixi."

Gu Yuan frowned, as if he was a little displeased: "The people from the Ministry of Rites are not finished yet?" ”

"I really don't blame them for this." Shen Zhixi explained, "This play was made by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

"What do you care about those officials who are full of food? What about the Ministry of Rites? Just wait? ”

Shen Zhixi sighed faintly: "What do you think the Ministry of Rites can do?" Does Xue Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, dare to offend those Qingtian masters of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”

Gu Yuan said in a sullen voice: "Anyway, I will definitely take care of your marriage." ”

"You can do whatever you want." Shen Zhixi suddenly felt that her head hurt even more.

——

The twilight is heavy, and the lights are on.

That night, according to the rules, this year's new Kejin Shi and the officials of the Ministry of Rites met the saint together, and then held a banquet of grace.

The fireworks and silver flowers never sleep, and the streets and alleys of the entire Yandu are lit with fireworks and firecrackers, which is as lively as the New Year.

Tang Xiujin glanced at the other two lightly and was silent.

There are three people in the group, and he is the only one who has a half-official position in this court.

He was the only one who seemed preoccupied.

It was still early, and Gu Yuan followed Shen Zhixi into the palace from Donghua Gate.

She is not as plain as in the past, and a moonlight brocade robe adds a bit of grace and luxury, coupled with her beautiful temperament, she is the most clear and moving touch of the world at the palace banquet.

Gu Yuan stared at his little girl, and there was tenderness in his eyes that could not be hidden.

The girl's beautiful face was as calm as water, and she couldn't see what she was thinking.

Lu Ran was also ordered to enter the palace, but he was in charge of the palace banquet defense as a brocade guard, and Gu Yuan informed Shen Zhixi that he went to find him.

Shen Zhixi bowed slightly, and when she arrived at the main hall, there were already a lot of people.

She glanced at it, except for her relatives and a few important ministers in the court, the rest were acquaintances.

Needless to say, the little emperor Shen Heng also came a lot of nobles from the family, and even Gu Nianqiu, who was still recuperating, came.

When Shen Zhixi arrived, Gu Nianqiu was talking to Xu Youning, the eldest lady of the Xu family, and several other daughters of the family, and when they saw the eldest princess coming in, several people immediately got up and saluted.

Shen Zhixi smiled lightly: "Sisters don't have to be so polite, I and you are close friends from childhood to adulthood, and the sisters are so troubled." ”

Gu Nianqiu said with a smile: "Sister, this is really a joke, my sister came in as the eldest princess, so we will call you the eldest princess." ”

Xu Youning also covered her lips and snickered: "Nian'er is right, if my sister just came in with a different identity, then we don't need to be so polite." ”

Shen Zhixi realized that she was led astray by them, so she just pursed her lips and smiled.

Gu Nianqiu is still as delicate and bright as in her previous life, and she deserves the sentence "clever smile, beautiful eyes", that is, a person who is well versed in the way of power and scheming, and he can't be on guard against such an innocent little girl.

Shen Zhixi saw that Gu Yuan was back, so she greeted him with a smile: "How is it?" ”

"Lu Ran said that it was foolproof." Gu Yuan smiled, "Let's go in." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and slowly walked into the Chengtian Gate.

Shen Ying, the king of Suning, and Gu Huaixia, the princess, came late, Gu Huaixia is the second daughter of Gu Chang'an, and has been married to the king of Suning for several years.

It is rumored that King Suning is quite fond of the princess, but Shen Zhixi, who is not far away, looks at it and only feels that the two are about to separate.

Sure enough, the rumors are the most uncredible.

After a while, Shen Heng rarely changed into a dragon robe and came to Hanzhang Hall to preside over the grace banquet.

The bystanders lurking in the darkness laughed in their hearts.

It's all here, and the show has just begun.

First of all, Xue Guan, the chief examiner of the Rite Department of the Rite Department of the meeting and the palace examination, came forward to read a congratulatory speech, and then went to the banquet, and everyone got up to toast the emperor.

"Ministers wish the emperor a long life—"

After three rounds of drinking, Shen Heng should have spoken, but the little emperor dropped the chain at a critical time, and he didn't know what to say next.

Shen Heng's pleading gaze turned to his sister.

Shen Zhixi was helpless, so she had to come out with a smile on her face to play a round: "The three first-class jinshi are the mainstays of my Zhao ten years later, in this way, each of you three will write a poem, so that the emperor and the palace will judge the superior, do the three of you have any objections?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has said so, so the ministers and others are better off obeying their orders." Tang Xiujin said with a smile, "Of the three ministers, only the minister and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are the most familiar with each other, so why don't you give a poem to the minister first, and talk about the admiration of the minister." ”

"In that case, let's start with Tanhualang first." Shen Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had always hated Tang Xiujin, with her understanding of him, he would not be wrong on such occasions.

Tang Xiujin thought for a moment and then chanted a poem: "Weishui haunts the Qin Saiqu, and the Yellow Mountain is oblique around the Han Palace." Luan Yu burst out of a thousand willows, and the pavilion looked back at the flowers in the garden. The double phoenix of the imperial city in the clouds, the spring tree in the rain is ten thousand homes. In order to ride the yang qi in season, it is not a matter of playing with things. ”

As soon as the words fell, he took the wine cup and toasted the little emperor and Shen Zhixi: "Minister Tang Xiujin would like to thank the emperor and the eldest princess with this poem." ”

Tang Xiujin's poems have won full praise, and he is worthy of being a literary star of the dynasty.

There were also ladies from various mansions at the palace banquet, and they were secretly happy to see someone as amazing and beautiful as Tang Xiujin, and some people even began to think about it.

Before Shen Zhixi could reply, Shen Heng clapped his hands and praised: "Good poetry, good poetry!" ”

seemed to think that this was at the palace banquet, not watching the play in Xiyuan, Shen Heng immediately became reserved.

He was ready to be reprimanded by his sister, but he didn't expect Shen Zhixi to find a step for him again, and very cleverly bypassed this topic, and by the way, he also rewarded Tang Xiujin as an official who supervised the imperial history of the seventh grade.

Shen Heng looked at his sister gratefully.

Shen Zhixi naturally wouldn't help him for no reason, speaking from her heart, her hatred for this younger brother is not small, but tonight's palace banquet can't make a mistake.

If the palace banquet is on a business trip, it is a slap in the face of the royal family and a slap in her face.

Although the poems written by the next two are transcendent, none of them can surpass Tang Xiujin's response poems.

Shen Zhixi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

If it is purely divided from the good and evil of human nature, Tang Xiujin is undoubtedly a wicked person with a sweet mouth and a sword.

But his talent is also undoubted in the capital.

She didn't know what to make of this complicated person for a moment.

There was another staggering, and a group of dancing girls stepped into the hall with the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras and danced.

Shen Zhixi drank another glass of wine, and said drunkly: "This is Loulan's dancing girl, right?" ”

Gu Yuan, who was sitting next to her, said "um", "Drink less, you can't drink too much." ”

Shen Zhixi shook her head and said, "It's okay." ”

In a haze, she heard the clink in the sleeve of one of the dancing girls for no apparent reason!

Shen Zhixi thought it was her hallucination, but in a moment, a silver light flashed under her eyes!

This is rebellion!

She hurriedly tugged at Gu Yuan's sleeve and motioned for him to look over there.

At the same time, the dancing girl who walked in front of the little emperor suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed straight at Shen Heng: "The unenlightened faint monarch who destroys human nature, go and die!" ”
