After rebirth, the yandere enemy pinches the waist and pets

Jiang Fugui responded softly. Although she didn't know what her grandmother meant, she knew it was definitely for her own good.

What's more, Jiang Huagui had been in the side hall before, and he must have known about the poetry writing. Since she didn't tell Jiang Fugui, she had made up her mind not to let her name appear in the front hall.

At grand banquets in the palace, if inspiration arose, poetry would be composed on the spot, and both men and women would be required to sign their names so that their talent could be judged during subsequent evaluations. This was also often a way for the nobles in the palace and the ladies of various families to observe and understand their preferred candidates.

On the other side, the candlelight in the Yongning Palace of the former dynasty was as bright as daylight. Even from a distance, one could still hear the noisy sounds of singing and dancing in the palace.

The moment Gong Yulinxu stepped into the hall, he was greeted by the aroma of various foods, mixed with the scent of different cosmetics worn by the dancers, and a hint of the agarwood incense that Emperor Xingwen liked.

There were many people in Yongning Hall, so it was much warmer than outside. The warm breeze blew through, filling the hall with the fragrance of worldly life in the beautiful world.

The mixture of these smells is extremely unpleasant and makes people feel headache unconsciously.

The music in the hall was loud and fierce. A dozen dancers from the Music Bureau were wearing light gauze skirts with bells adorning their bodies. They spun and jumped rapidly in circles to the music, and the gauze flew freely with the crisp sound of the bells.

The word "extravagant" is not enough to describe the scene in the palace.

Gong Yulinxu lightly frowned his handsome sword-like brows and slowly walked towards his seat.

However, on the dragon throne four or five steps away from him, there was a bright yellow figure sitting, with a tall crown on his head that symbolized his status.

This person is none other than Emperor Xingwen Gong Yushu, the highest official at the pinnacle of power in the prosperous Dafeng Dynasty.

Emperor Xingwen, who was chatting happily with someone, caught sight of Gong Yulinxu and asked him with a smile, "Where did Xiao San go before?"

Hearing this, Gong Yulinxu, who hadn't been able to take a seat, suppressed his disgust, turned sideways, and bowed to Emperor Xingwen, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm not very good at drinking. I just felt dizzy and unwell, so I went to the inner storage courtyard to rest for a while."

"Well, you're weak, so you really should drink less." Emperor Xingwen looked at Gong Yulinxu with concern and kindness, then asked him, "Do you have anything you like?"

Gong Yulinxu said truthfully and respectfully, "No, I just took a short nap. However, I heard that the Inner Canon's Scrolls of the Imperial Library have received a new batch of classics. I didn't have the pleasure of reading them tonight, which is a pity."

Emperor Xingwen nodded, indicating his understanding. He turned to the eunuch behind him and said, "After the banquet is over, remember to have someone go to the Inner Canon to fetch the classics and send them to Xiao San."

The eunuchs responded repeatedly, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will remember this."

Gong Yulin bowed and thanked Emperor Xingwen for his gift. Then he could be heard laughing and saying, "Just now, Xiaosan, you were not here. The palace played a drinking game and asked people to compose poems. The Crown Prince and Xiaowu have already composed some. You can't escape. Quickly write one too."

Gong Yulin coughed lightly a few times behind his sleeves, then bowed to Emperor Xingwen, his voice weak and timid: "Father, please don't tease me. I have the well-read Crown Prince in front of me, and the erudite Fifth Brother behind me. I really don't dare to show off my skills in front of them, so as not to embarrass myself. I beg you to forgive me this time, so that I can hide my shortcomings in front of everyone."
