After two days of drizzle, there is a fresh breath everywhere, the dark clouds are cleared, the spring is warm, and the flowers in the capital are more beautiful than ever. held there.
The emperor sat in the first seat, looking at the three tall and straight young talents in front of him, his face was full of smiles, his usual majesty was all joyful: "There was only one young man in the last top three, and the remaining one is not confused, and the other is not confused. It's almost sixty years old. Just that young man, I picked it out for the name of the third flower. This year's top three looks really gratifying!"
When the ministers heard the words, they all agreed that the blue is better than the blue cloud, and they complimented the emperor by the way. Fortunately, the last Sanding Jia was not present at the banquet, otherwise, he would be ashamed to get under the table. After hearing some kind words, the emperor smiled even more kindly, and gave seats to the three disciples of the emperor.
Among the three, You Qing has won the third grade, and his grades are already eye-catching. In addition, he has a handsome appearance and a refined temperament. He looks like a weak scholar, but when he sits there, he is very handsome and has a kind of secretive edge. The momentum has already attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Yuancai is sitting at the top of You Qing. Zhang Yuancai won the second place. Because of his straightforward personality, he doesn't show joy. His face is quite calm, and his appearance is also very eye-catching, but his temperament is a loss than You Qing. Big cut.
The next person sitting next is Tanhualang. This Tanhualang's surname is Xu. He has just passed the weak crown, with red lips and white teeth and beautiful eyebrows. The emperor saw that he was really lovable, so he was selected from a group of similar achievements. of.
The ministers said their congratulations one after another, and the banquet officially began. The emperor looked at the spring in the garden and said with a smile: "Among the ministers here, there are many who have never seen the literary talent of the three of you. Today, I will give you a small question to test you. You must perform well!"
The three hurriedly responded.
The emperor named Tanhua Lang's name: "Xu Lian, please walk around this garden and pick three flowers from a stick of incense, pick one with the highest branch, one with buds to bloom, and one with the most color. Gorgeous."
Although Tanhua is not the first, but Tanhua's color is good, and those who can win Tanhua are generally quite good-looking. Xu Lian smiled and revealed two small pear vortexes, happily led away, followed by a servant, servant Holding tray in hand.
You Qing followed their figures and looked towards the flowers, his eyes paused and he almost laughed. He had already sensed Bai Li's breath, and he never had the chance to turn his eyes away to look for it. Unexpectedly, he was squatting beside a peony. , while Xu Lian was passing by, he raised his head and quietly bent a flower branch and rubbed it against his nose.
Today's spring breeze is warm, only a few leaves are shaking gently, Xu Lian can't figure out how the flower branches are coming over his face, he subconsciously dodges, and then he feels inexplicable, the blank look on his face makes Bai Li happy.
You Qing couldn't help laughing and laughing at his jokes. He almost endured the internal injury, so he had to turn his eyes away. Fortunately, while waiting for the flowers, the banquet was also lively. I looked around and saw several princes sitting on the left and right of the emperor, and Xue Chang sitting on the bottom of the prince on the left.
Just at this time, Xue Chang's eyes swept over, remembering that they had a good relationship in the Huxin Pavilion before, the two smiled at each other from a distance, and they felt a sense of sympathy.
On the way back from the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, Bai Li asked him curiously, "Aqing, why did you make Sir Xue so happy when you gave him a painting?"
You Qing had never sent a picture of a fierce horse in his last life, but even if he did, it would probably be about the same. People who are in a relationship can see each other clearly after just a few contacts, so You Qing can see Xue Chang's temperament before he regains his memory. He knows that Bai Li's ideas are simple, so he doesn't want to explain too complicated. He touched his head and said with a smile: "I meant to send this painting to say that he is like a fierce horse. He felt that I was right, and he was naturally happy."
Bai Li thought for a long time with his eyes wide open, then nodded his head, "So Master Xue looks like a fierce horse! Then... If Ah Qing paints it for me, what will he paint?"
You Qing looked at him with a smirk: "Is it still an analogy to draw you? Just draw a fox."
Bai Li glared at him both happily and angrily, and kicked his calf. At that time, he had already walked outside the city. Seeing that there was no one to his left or right, You Qing smiled and held his hand, kissed him on the lips, and all of a sudden, his second kick lost its strength.
At this time, Bai Li had come out of the peony bush, ran to You Qing, squatted down and looked at the table in front of him, put his hand over the plate, thought about it, and then retracted it.
You Qing Yuguang glanced at his movements, and was wondering why he didn't eat, when he saw that he took two steps and squatted in front of Zhang Yuancai.
He was reluctant to eat You Qing's portion, and wanted to eat other people's food. He was careful and thought of You Qing at once, but he felt that his heart was soft and messy. He didn't know why this little fox was so painful.
Zhang Yuancai had never eaten, so although there was a lot on the case, it was obvious that a small piece of almond cake was missing. The nerd glanced at him inadvertently, and suddenly showed a thoughtful expression, scratching his head in anguish, and making Bai Li smirk in delight.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuancai's doubts could not go on, and his attention was quickly diverted because Tanhualang came back with the flowers he picked.
Xu Lian bowed to the emperor, and when the waiter presented the gilded tray in front of the emperor, he respectfully said: "Long live Qi, there are three flowers on the plate, the highest flower branch is pear blossom, the budding rose is the rose, and the most gorgeous one is camellia. ."
The emperor looked at it, nodded in satisfaction, let him sit down, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, there have been countless poems and poems on the theme of flowers. Today, I will change to a new one. It happens that several of my emperors are also there, all of them young. People, you guys can play together."
Several princes hurriedly sat upright and looked like they were listening.
The emperor asked the servant to bring the flower to the top three, and asked the three of them to pick one flower each. You Qing never liked bright colors, so he picked the smallest pear flower. Fortunately, there was still a flower branch, otherwise it would be found from a distance. Not where the flowers are. Zhang Yuancai took the camellia, and Xu Lian took the rose.
The emperor continued: "Today is not limited to flowers, there are three titles: pear, tea, and moon. Use whichever you like, but there is a rule, the first character of the latter person must be the same as the tail of the former person, this solitaire. In the game, whoever can't get it right will quit, and see what the last remaining person's name is. If it is a pear, the champion will be punished with wine, if it is tea, the second place will be punished with wine, if it is moon, the third flower will be punished with wine. It happens to be the remaining people, then change the punishment to a reward, and the others drink, how about it?"
There is no reason to object to what the emperor said, plus this method is fresh and time-consuming, you can have fun, and the punishment is harmless. Naturally, everyone agrees.
You Qing looked at the pear blossoms on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly, unexpectedly, the gameplay was different from what he remembered. It seems that in the first life, many things have become unknown.
While the emperor was talking, Bai Li secretly ate a few more things. Relying on the fact that no one could see him, he swaggered to the open space in the middle of the garden by touching his belly.
He also knew a few big characters, didn't understand poetry, and couldn't understand songs. He couldn't help yawning after listening to a few people, but when he arrived at the youth, he immediately recovered and even ran up to him excitedly. Looking at him with great admiration, he was almost interrupted and unable to continue.
The emperor added a sentence before they started: "How many of you are learning, I know what I know, but don't let me see that I will give in on purpose."
These words are obviously aimed at Sandingjia. After all, the other few are princes. Most people do not dare to offend easily. .
The three of You Qing didn't change their faces when they heard this, and responded very calmly. No matter what you think in your heart, this game will definitely do your best.
After several rounds, no one was brushed, and everyone's sentences had their own merits. The ministers nodded and the emperor was greatly relieved.
You Qing noticed that several princes were fighting in secret, and felt that the situation in that life was the same as the one in that life. After a few more rounds, the fourth prince was brushed off, the emperor raised his eyebrows and took a sip of wine.
Bai Li listened to it for a long time, then got hungry again. He ran to the emperor to see if his food was different from other people's. He finally found out that it was the same. , then steal a little in front of that person.
The meals in the palace are very delicate, not only the cakes are beautiful and delicious, but the meat and vegetarian dishes are also unique. Bai Li was really enjoying his meal, and he swiped his fingers and sat back in the center of the arena. At this time, two more princes were eliminated, and Tanhua Lang was also defeated. Among the defeated princes, except for the second prince, the others were slightly embarrassed, but Xu Tanhua was extremely relaxed.
You Qingchao lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the second prince. The prince's palace was very deep in his memory, and it is still the same now. Back then, when I was an official in the court, many things could not be done by myself. It was wishful thinking to protect myself. In the undercurrent stirred up among the princes, if you want to stand firm, you must have a clear position and break the boat.
Now that he is no longer a mortal, he doesn't have to worry about anything. Finally, he doesn't have to get involved in these disputes. If he doesn't like it, he can take Bai Li back to the mountain forest. Thinking about it, he feels at ease and can't help but glance at Bai Li. At a glance, he saw that he was bored and fell asleep, and there was an imperceptible doting smile in his eyes.
Bai Li sat listening to doze off, squatted listening to doze off, stood listening to doze off, I don't know how long he slept, finally heard a crisp gong sound, wiped his saliva and woke up, turned his head to look, his family Ah Qing Standing beside him, he was caught off guard and fell to the ground in fright.
You Qingzhuang glanced at him inadvertently, holding back his laughter until his stomach hurt.
In this pairing of poems, You Qing was left with the word "pear" in the last sentence of You Qing's poem. According to the rules, it changed from punishment to reward. You Qing didn't want to make a name for himself, but it was a coincidence that the last sentence he received had to be written with the word "pear" in it.
The emperor watched the defeated man drank the wine in one gulp, and then looked at the high-spirited champion, and again felt his eyes were burning, nodded extremely narcissistically, pondered for a while, and smiled: "I don't know how young you are. …”
As soon as the words fell, You Qing and Bai Li were stunned at the same time. Both of them had an impression. When they asked this question, they were about to get married. You Qing just remembered, but Bai Li was engraved in his heart. At that time, he secretly followed Lu Mingyan, but the mood at that time was not as good as today. So relaxing today.
In that life, Bai Li only had pain in his heart, but now he knows that You Qing has himself in his heart, and if he can't let go of others, he will not feel uncomfortable when he hears the emperor's words. It blew up and bounced off the ground at once.
You Qing made him stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his expression and said respectfully, "Student is twenty and seven this year."
The emperor nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly with a smile. There are many princes under his knees, but there is only one princess. He has loved him terribly since he was a child. At this time, when he remembered what the princess said to him coquettishly, he couldn't help but smile more kindly.
Seeing him open his mouth, You Qing hurriedly made preparations to resist the decree. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw Bai Li instantly move in front of the emperor, pouting his hips on his knees, and blowing at him.
The emperor blinked his eyes, his expression was dazed for a moment, then he laughed heartily again, and said with a twist: "It is rare to have such talent at such a young age! I am very pleased! Come on, appreciate - Eight Treasures Jade Honey Sauce Chicken Thigh Ten Only!"
You Qing: "… "
Everyone present: "!!!"
