In terms of beauty, you can't beat me

On the day of the Yahui, Ning Feng and Xi Yu got up early to help me wash and wash. Since going to the Yahui is an elegant thing, they chose a light blue shirt, tied their hair with the same color headband, and sat down. The most ordinary sedan chair goes to the South Bamboo Forest.

As soon as the sedan chair arrived at the green bamboo forest south of the Chang'an city gate, it heard all the refined scholars pointing the country to the wind.

"I heard that it is His Royal Highness Qin Wang who presides over this elegant meeting."

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Qin was very beautiful. If we can see each other now, we will die with no regrets."

The scholar standing next to him in the shade of the bamboo grove said: "I heard that it was because His Highness King Qin was too glamorous to deter Chao Gang that the late emperor appointed a concubine he found from the people."

Heard, heard, all heard.

Xi Yu muttered softly on the side of the sedan: "These scholars are just like gossips on the street!"

In the depths of the bamboo grove, the cool breeze blows and the wind sings, it really is an extremely elegant place.The low tables and tea tables are all made of green bamboo. The white porcelain teapots and cups painted with black bamboo patterns are neatly placed in the center of the table. A shallow stream flowing from the mountains floats a few bamboo leaves to divide the table into north and south sides. , and finally gurgling to the distance.

The top seat is built on the stream with bamboo, and the canopy is made of fresh bamboo branches. The bamboo table cushions are covered with a thick layer of white fox fur, which makes you feel warm just by looking at it.

As soon as the light sedan landed, an old gentleman saluted: "Your Highness."

I nodded slightly, and said as I walked: "The old man will go to work first, and the king will make arrangements for himself."

The old gentleman replied according to the etiquette: "Everything here is for His Majesty's personal concern. If His Highness has any dissatisfaction, you can write it down first, and the old man will send someone to modify it."

I cupped my hands and said, "Excuse me, old man."

The old gentleman was slightly taken aback, then bowed and retreated.

Xi Yu looked around while walking, and pulled Ning Feng's sleeve, determined to take a look into the depths of the bamboo forest.Knowing that Ning Feng was worried about me, he waved his hands and said, "You can go and play as much as you like, and this king is also wandering around."

The green bamboo poles are towering, and there are two or three scholars who come and go together. They wear toga and big sleeves, crown and belt, playing the piano and drinking wine, which is very interesting.He was leaning against a thick green bamboo to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, but someone slapped him on the shoulder.

"What's your name? My name is Lu Yi, and my name is Boya." The man smiled.

Yahui gathered all the top young talents in Qi country, and although the one in front of him was wearing the same clothes as the others, and even had a folding fan on his sleeve, the ignorance revealed from his eyebrows made him look It sounds ridiculous.

Yahui posts are always hard to find, which makes it hard to find one post. It is said that it gathers the talents of the Qi country, but in fact, the gatherings are all the wealthy landowners or arty people of the Qi country, but there are very few really elegant people.

Seeing the arrogance on his face, knowing that his background is not simple, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm Xia Lanzhi."

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and whispered in my ear: "I heard that the host of this elegant meeting is the former prince and now His Highness the King of Qin?"

I pretended to be surprised: "Really?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Qin was born beautiful, let's take a good look later!"

I straightened my body and said, "Okay."

Lu Yi greeted the book boy: "I heard that Your Highness likes to listen to the sound of the qin, and I specially asked the master to learn a few of them." As he spoke, he was about to play the qin.

I hurriedly said: "No need!" Then I said: "Young Master Lu, I'd like to show it to His Highness later, Lan, who is dressed in white, is not worthy of listening to this elegant tone."

Lu Yi nodded in agreement: "It's also..."

"Brother Lu!" A voice came from behind.

Lu Yi hurriedly raised his feet to leave, and said, "Actually, brother Lan is also very good-looking."

To show politeness, I concealed my displeasure and only smiled faintly.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Lan's beauty is only increasing!"

I looked back and saw Liu Yuan bent over with a smile. He was dressed in a bamboo green robe, making him blend into the bamboo forest like a bamboo spirit.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but the bamboo in this South Bamboo Forest can become fine!" I replied.

Liu Yuan's words are sparse and bleak, but he has a mouth like a poisonous snake, and when he opens his mouth, his own fangs will light up, injuring people thoroughly.

Liu Yuan smiled and walked towards me and said, "I saw such a good show early this morning, it's not in vain for me to come so early."

I looked behind him to make sure there was no one behind him and said, "Where is Han Qing?"

Liu Yuan forced his smile back, and replied, "We were still together just now."

Speaking of Han Qing is the most regrettable thing in this dynasty. Such a talented person lost his voice due to a serious illness when he was young.Han Jue has been loved by Lord Han since she was a child. It is said that Han Jue fell ill when she was young, and was loved and raised by Lord Hou as a girl, but after all, she is like glass in the palm of her hand, uncertain in the wind.

Lord Han had high hopes for him, hoping that he would do his best for the country and go to the battlefield like himself.But there was an unforeseen situation, since he lost his voice, he was unable to command the three armies on the battlefield, and sent orders to use troops. From then on, Lord Han's expectations of him were also cut off, and he was only allowed to read some poems and books, which was better than nothing.

I turned my eyes to the towering bamboo tops again, the floating clouds in the sky were messed up by the swaying branches, and they were chaotic and round, round and chaotic, endlessly.

Liu Yuan followed my gaze and looked at the floating clouds in the sky, and sighed: "Think about those things that are out of reach and intangible, everything in the world will eventually be blown away by the wind." At first, I thought this was for me to hear , but later it turned into talking to himself, as if he was convincing himself.

I laughed and said, "What's wrong with Shutong? The former Shutong said, 'Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go'!"

Liu Yuan replied: "I just saw the clouds gathering and dispersing indefinitely in the sky, so I remembered many things in the past few years."

The wind just stopped, and I didn't want to continue this topic, so I said: "It's a coincidence that you can see this cloud in the sky today and express such emotions. Back then, the king happened to be selling calligraphy and painting on the side of Yu Street. An took him back to the mansion, and later Ming An happened to be the prince of his father who lived among the people, and later because of this king's incompetence, he lost the crown prince, and Ming An became the current Holy One as a matter of course. Look at these many things, everything seems to be Coincidentally, it was all planned long ago, and the only thing missing is a fire in your hands."

Liu Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Brother Lan hasn't reflected in vain in the past two years, but he has seen the matter so thoroughly. If he knows, I don't know whether he should be relieved or disappointed."

Liu Yuan is like this, just when you were about to talk to him seriously, he turned out to be serious.

Liu Yuan returned to his appearance of that dandy disciple again, the speed was so fast that I almost forgot that he was still lamenting about life and the world just now: "The elegant meeting is about to begin, Your Highness King Qin, please take a seat!"

He took his hand to help me, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't block my king's way."

Just because they only wore clothes like ordinary scholars today, they didn't realize that the imprisoned deposed prince was passing by them on the road. Those who should laugh should still laugh, and those who should taste wine should still taste wine.

When I walked up to the first seat, there was a young man with clean lips, no knot in his throat, and a powdered face, handing over the stove and the fox fur covering his body.

It was this action that attracted the attention of all the scholars, and whoever shouted: "Greetings, Your Highness the King of Qin!" The others knelt on the ground and shouted in unison as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Du Liu is willing to stand in the crowd, looking at me and smiling.

"Excuse me."

All the guests who came to the meeting sat neatly in two rows. The old gentleman stood on my left side. After the hall was silent, he said loudly: "In the third year of Zhengming, the Nanzhulin Yahui will officially begin!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of wine cups filled with sake flowed down the river. The wine cups were shaped like a bamboo leaf, mixed with real bamboo leaves, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The scholars spontaneously divided into two teams, and the pairs of poems and words were kept coming back and forth, and the loser just picked up the wine cup in the shallow stream and drank it all, so happy!

At this time, a man whose clothes were patched and patched was better than neat and tidy, and his hair was combed meticulously. He looked at the noise in front of him blankly, and stood behind the crowd in a daze.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. When everyone sees his ragged clothes, they must be a poor man with nothing. Being able to come here must have picked up an invitation card due to good luck. Therefore, everyone is unwilling to associate with him, let alone sit with him.

He waved to Xi Yu who was walking this way, and when he approached, he ordered: "Find him a good change of clothes."

Xi Yu took the order and immediately turned around and left, looking at Ning Feng's blushing face, I asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ning Feng stammered, wanting to cover it up: "... just accidentally slipped..."

I had doubts in my heart, but said on the face: "Yes."

Ning Feng bowed his head deeply and stopped speaking. I turned my eyes to the seat and saw Lu Yi was burning incense and playing the piano. It really was a piece of arithmetic, and there were a few wrong notes in the middle. I don’t know if everyone knows Lu Yi’s background. However, the scholars and scholars in the audience all looked intoxicated, and when the song ended, thunderous applause broke out.

I had no choice but to say: "I didn't expect Lu Qing to play the piano so wonderfully, and it matched Lu Qing's elegant attire. Thank you!"

The servant walked over to Lu Yi with the rewards he had prepared in advance, and said in a long voice: "Your Highness rewards!"

Lu Yi fell to the ground, raised his head to see me, and said happily, "So you are His Royal Highness King Qin!" He laughed while talking.

"His Royal Highness King Qin rewards!" The servant who brought the rewards repeated it again.

"He played the wrong note just now!"

A sentence exploded in the crowd like a thunderbolt on the ground. It was still the patched clothes, with a zombie-like expression, and even when he spoke, his lips could not be opened or closed.

Xi Yu walked to my side with a sad face and said in a low voice, "Your Highness..."

It seems that this person still has some integrity, he will not accept the food that comes from you, and he will not accept gratuitous favors.

Lu Yi's face turned ugly, and he reprimanded: "Where did you come from and dare to blame me! I was praised by His Royal Highness King Qin himself, how dare you question His Highness's decision!"

He leaned forward so that he could see the expression on the poor boy's face more clearly, but what was disappointing was that he still kept a straight face and said unhurriedly: "The sage said that 'you can correct your mistakes if you know them. , What is so good? Now that you have made a mistake, not only do you not correct it, but cover it up, the grassroots don't know what His Highness means? Is it intentional to deceive the world or is Your Highness really ignorant of music?"

Before I could answer, Lu Yi's expression changed instantly, he stood up and argued, "What a countryman dares to commit a crime here!"

Xi Yu was also anxious: "What a scholar who doesn't know good or bad!"

The poor boy still looked half-dead: "Caomin is just telling the truth."

Lu Boya snorted and got up to leave. The young man was still standing there, motionless.

This time it was hard for the boy who was carrying the reward, he didn't stay or stay when he left.

There was silence all around, and the Confucian scholars didn't dare to take a breath, they all looked at me in unison.

I looked at the young man standing there, and made a shameful expression: "I really don't understand music theory. Now you have to order it yourself. If you think about it, you will have some music in your heart when you come to enjoy the music." As I said, I turned to the Confucian scholars. : "It's fine that this king doesn't know music theory. All the elegant scholars are all talented. They have a good understanding of astronomy and geography. Today, I also messed around with this king for a while. In the future, we must remember not to do this again."

"Yes."

"Since the founding of the dynasty, those who committed crimes should be punished, and those who have meritorious deeds should be rewarded. Today, this elegant scholar heard the words of the king, and he was enlightened. He knew that in dealing with people, he should not be afraid of power, not afraid of turbid currents, and not follow others' opinions." He took a sip. Cha said again: "I also hope that all refined scholars can become the pillars of our Qi country in the future, and do our best for our Qi country!"

"Yes!"

I said again: "For example, today this elegant scholar dares to point out the mistakes of the king, this is what we often call a direct minister!"

"Yes!"

I gave Ning Feng a wink, and Ning Feng said: "Reward all the prizes given just now to this elegant scholar, and add another emerald cloud bamboo!"

The boy still stood there, drooping his head and said: "The grass people are not here for rewards."

I laughed and said: "This king knows that you don't speak up for rewards, but this king will reward those who speak up. Since these things are given to you, you just need to accept them."

The young man wanted to refuse again, but the servant piled all the rewards into his arms, and hurriedly left the fire pit.
