I'm just a dude

Qi Yuan passed the test smoothly and sat down leisurely, but the next one happened to be Fang Chenghe's turn.

Fang Chenghe was surprisingly quiet today, just quietly drinking with the crowd.After all, he just offended the crown prince, so today is basically no good feast for him.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but worry secretly, but when he thought about Fang Chenghe's ability, he became a little more at ease.

Sure enough, after he sat down, Fang Chenghe read casually: "Who is the most idle person in the world? Who is the most busy person in the world when the flute blows through the water and clouds, and the poor woman gathers ears to satisfy her hunger."

He also raised his glass and drank it all, and finally said, "The bottom of the wine is the fragrance in King Li's tent."

Sheng Xiao Blowing Duan Shui Yunjian is a short poem written by Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty for court banquets. Qi Yuan and all the other flamboyant dudes like Li Yu very much. .

However, this emperor was a subjugated king after all, and there were disasters and famines when the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed. It was somewhat inappropriate for Fang Chenghe to mention this in front of the crown prince.

The faces of the people at the banquet were subtle, and they knew that Fang Chenghe and a group of people had jointly signed a letter to ask the prince to raise relief funds, so they could not help observing secretly, for fear that they would accidentally stir up the chaos.

On the other hand, Wen Chi looked indifferent, and only asked: "Brother Jin, do you know the legality of the incense in this tent?"

Fang Chenghe glanced at him in surprise, "Xiaosheng doesn't know."

"That's a pity." Wen Chi said with a smile on his face, "I've heard that the incense in the Jiangnan Palace is very sweet, but the original recipe has been lost for a long time. Even the incense in the Jiangnan Tent that Huang Taishi tasted back then seems to be the same. The prescription after the Song people reformed."

Fang Chenghe seemed a little surprised, and took another look at Wenchi: "Xiaosheng doesn't know much about Xiangfang, but I just saw Huang Taishi's post and knew that this person is known as a fragrance addict."

Wen Chi laughed, but clapped his hands and said: "This reminds me, since today is a grand festival for fighting incense, and you all have seen Huang Taishi's copybooks, it is better for us to test Huang Taishi's four incense sticks."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and looked at the prince with a smile, "Your Highness, if you ask questions, how about letting us answer them?"

His words calmly brought the topic to incense prescriptions, as if what Fang Chenghe just mentioned was only the famous incense prescriptions, and it had nothing to do with the country's death or not.

Qi Yuan secretly admired this man's exquisite appearance, and went to see the prince's reaction.Sure enough, although there was no joy on the prince's face, he nodded.

"So, let Verity come." The crown prince nodded and said, "Since it's a temporary addition to the fun, then there will be rewards for correct answers, and no punishment for wrong answers."

As soon as the words were finished, a waiter immediately came up with something, but it was a set of jade wine vessels, ten bolts of silver silk, a piece of ice flakes and a piece of gold, and a urn of rose dew, which was a tribute from the Great Food Kingdom.

Everyone didn't expect the prince to make such a generous move, and it suddenly became lively.Qi Yuan was gearing up and wanted to win a reward when he saw a servant hurried in and said something to the prince.

The prince was slightly surprised, then he got up in his clothes, walked out of the hall, and walked in with several other people talking and laughing.

Qi Yuan raised his head and looked at it, his ears immediately became hot.

Xu Yu was still wearing the official uniform of Dali Temple, her eyes were clear, and as soon as she approached, everyone looked out.The prince held his arm affectionately, and smiled with rare eyebrows stretched.

The two stepped into the hall, both of them were extravagant.

There are still a few people behind, and there are two face-to-face ones, all wearing crimson gauze robes, black gauze on their heads, and red, white, and green jade beads on them.The other person was dressed in white, floating like a fairy, it was Ren Yan whom he hadn't seen for a long time.There was another one following far behind, Qi Yuan's eyes widened when he saw it.That person was Wu Anhou who almost took him away!

After this group of people came in, the hall became very lively.A waiter set up two other seats on it, and the two in normal clothes naturally sat together, Marquis Wu An smiled and wanted to sit with Ren Yan, but Ren Yan only saluted him, and then sat next to Xu Ting.

The Marquis of Wu'an was left alone, but he was a little unhappy, and said with a rascal face: "His Royal Highness is hugging left and right, but he is willing to be so lonely, without even a companion by his side."

After speaking, he turned his gaze at Wenchi and Lu Weizhen, and felt that one of them is soft and charming, the other is cold, and both of them are superior in appearance, so they are reluctant to part with each other.

Seeing him like this, the prince couldn't help laughing: "What did Lord Hou say?"

Marquis Wu An was overjoyed, salivating and said: "What His Royal Highness said is that the left and right are your things."

The prince nodded slightly, but asked with a smile: "Then when did Hou Ye miss Gu's things and want to share one or two with Gu?"

Marquis Wu An was stunned for a moment, seeing that the crown prince seemed to be taking care of himself, how could he dare to respond, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious, I just want to find someone to sit with, I dare not bother the two Qing Jilangs."

After he finished speaking, he looked across and quickly pointed to Qi Yuan: "My brother would like to invite Mr. Qi to sit with you."

Qi Yuan sneered inwardly, and pretended to raise his hand to brush the incense burner on the mat, but his hands turned around quietly, and took out the incense spoon from the incense tube on the side.

From the last Dongchi meeting, Qi Yuan knew that this Marquis of Wu'an was not easy to mess with, and today when he heard that this man claimed to be his minister, he knew better.But he is not a disadvantaged person, not to mention Marquis Wu An today, even if the Supreme Emperor came, if he wanted to drive him away, he would dare to pounce on this rotten person, it would be better for everyone to suffer than himself.

Who knew that the incense spoon was just hidden, but someone said at the same time: "No!"

The sound was so loud that even Qi Yuan was startled.

Fang Chenghe's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he asked in a cold voice: "Today is the Douxiang Wenhui, is the young master coming to Douxiang or Douwen?"

Marquis Wu An was stunned by the yelling for a while, and when he turned around to see Fang Chenghe, he couldn't help but angrily said, "Who am I, the wild dogs from Kuaiji dare to bark in front of His Highness!"

Fang Chenghe said coldly: "Young Master dares to scold, but I am a dog, and that is also a loyal dog of the imperial court, who knows how to be loyal to the emperor and love the people. But you, who have no ruler in mind, disturb the discipline, are you not as good as a pig or a dog?"

He scolded so severely that almost all the scholars present wanted to applaud no matter what faction they belonged to.You must know that villains like Marquis Wu'an, everyone shouts and beats them, but no one dares to provoke them, even the crown prince was clearly annoyed just now, so he wanted to show him some color.

Fang Chenghe really dared to scold, with such vigor that few people in the entire Yushitai could match.

Everyone's faces were brilliant, the prince lowered his eyes silently, and secretly smiled for a while.

Marquis Wu'an was furious, and was about to explode, when he heard Xu Yu from the opposite side say: "Don't be angry, Lord Hou, since this competition will continue, it doesn't matter whether Lord Hou fights incense or fights, as long as you beat him. "

Marquis Wu An couldn't tell that they were in the same group, so he immediately lost his face and said: "My lord, I don't want to fight anything, I want that little boy to come and accompany me!"

Xu Yu frowned slightly, but then looked at Qi Yuan with comforting eyes.

"come over."

Seeing the situation, Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still walked over, but still kept the incense spoon in his sleeve.

Xu Yu waited for him to approach, stretched out his hand to hold him back, and then nodded slightly to Ren Yan beside him: "Wenying, change with Fengzhou."

Ren Yan had been watching the fun in a calm manner, but he never thought that Xu Yu would replace him, but now he couldn't help but stared at Xu Yu without moving.

Xu Yu looked at him suspiciously.

Marquis Wu'an looked around the room among the three of them for a while, but he saw it, and couldn't help laughing: "Xu Shixiong, can you hug from left to right?"

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at Qi Yuan, and then at Ren Yan, and couldn't help but grinned sadly: "Well, I'll admit defeat today, so I'll pick up Xu Shixiong and pick the rest, how about it?"

That Ren Yan has always been aloof and arrogant, his temper is somewhat similar to Lu Xinghe's, and now he has performed exceptionally in the provincial examination, Marquis Wu'an has always been strict with meat and vegetables, the reason why he didn't provoke this man is because he lives in the Duke's mansion, Afraid of trouble.But if Xu Xuan pushes this cousin out today, don't blame him for being generous.

Xu Yu couldn't hear the threat in his mouth, frowned slightly, and heard the person next to him laugh.

"Choose what's left?" Qi Yuan laughed, but raised his chin and said loudly, "Master Hou, we are here today to participate in the Fragrance Fighting Fair of His Royal Highness, not to choose a princess for you. If you dare You treat all the scholars in the world as playthings and concubines, dare to say it here and see if His Highness agrees?"

Marquis Wu'an's complexion changed slightly, and he narrowed his eyes.

The prince's expression was very stable, he only asked Qi Yuan: "In your opinion, how should we arrange this time?"

Qi Yuan thought that in my opinion, he should beat that fat-headed fish with a club.But of course this cannot be said.As for Ren Yan, he and Fang Chenghe didn't like it either, Qi Yuan was just afraid of making things difficult for Xu Xuan, so he took the initiative to stand up.

"Didn't Your Highness want to test Huang Taishi's Si Tie Xiang just now?" Qi Yuan bowed and said proudly, "Since it's the Dou Xiang Wenhui, then let's have a hearty competition, and whoever wins will choose a partner. I Just don’t get picked on.”

Although the voice of the last sentence was much lower, it was still clearly heard by the people above.

Lu Xinghe's face was always cold and clear, he couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and looked at him half-jokingly: "So, if brother Qi wins, it's okay to choose him."

The prince nodded slightly: "It's only fair."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and asked directly: "Indifference and loneliness are not valued in the world, why is this fragrant?",

Qi Yuan said: "Shen Jingxiang. This fragrance requires two and a half ounces of Hainan Shenshuixiang, four liang of shin charcoal, five liang of white honey, and 49 days in the cellar. Add three qian of polu ointment, [-] qian of musk, and [-] fen of benzoin to make incense. cake."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

The prince was surprised: "You even know Xiang Fang?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and was even more surprised: "It's not better than Xiangfang?"

None of Huang Taishi's four fragrances were made by Huang Tingjian, it's just because he is famous, and the fragrance recipe is not a secret, at least several big fragrance households know about it.Qi Yuan only thought that what he was going to test was incense prescriptions, to see who could memorize them accurately, but he didn't know that ordinary people might not even remember the characteristics of the four incenses, how could they memorize incense prescriptions?

He looked at the prince blankly, and then at Wenchi who proposed the competition.

Wen Chi was also very surprised, and hurriedly explained: "Just match the name of the incense with the characteristics."

Qi Yuan: "..." Only for Xiang's name?How is this different from play house?

Sure enough, the literati play differently from the incense households like them.

Qi Yuan nodded with a complicated expression.

But the prince said: "If you can remember Xiangfang, it's okay to share it together. If you answer well, you can choose one more person if you answer the same question, how about it?" After finishing speaking, he ordered the servants at the side to find the steward of the Xiangyao Bureau come over.

Qi Yuan blinked, and saw that the steward was holding a thick booklet, flipping through it nervously for comparison, thinking that this was simply making a fuss out of a molehill, and this official was not as good as himself.

The crown prince saw that he was not nervous at all, so he couldn't help being interested. He looked at Fang Chenghe, then at Xu Xuan, and deliberately teased him: "Now that you have answered one question correctly, who do you plan to choose first?"

Qi Yuan raised his hand and was about to speak when he heard Xu Yu and Fang Chenghe cough heavily at the same time, and then looked over in unison.

Qi Yuan: "..."
