Whenever the Xiyuan Elegant Festival was held, Wang Shi became in a very good mood, and this time was no exception. Although something happened at his home today, it did not affect his good mood. In other words, he did not take the family affairs at all. After all, in his opinion, the Xiyuan Elegant Festival was his ideal life. Every time after the Xiyuan Elegant Festival was held, his reputation among the scholars and nobles would increase by one point. As a good-famous scholar, nothing could stop him from hosting the Xiyuan Elegant Festival.

Although Wang Shi was also from a noble family, he did not value his aristocratic status and even hated his current status a little. Therefore, he always regarded himself as a scholar. Every time he held a Xiyuan Elegant Festival, Wang Shi would only stay with the scholars, either drinking, writing poems, or having fun, which seemed very leisurely and comfortable.

However, Wang Yan's good mood did not last long. When people reported that Zhao Yan also came to participate in the Xiyuan Elegant Festival, Wang Yan immediately felt as if he had eaten a fly, and he felt indescribable disgust. He was even worried that Zhao Yan would come to make trouble for him. The scars left by Zhao Yan beat him last time had not completely disappeared. It can be said that the conflict between the two had reached an irreconcilable point.

Wang Shi was afraid that Zhao Yan would come to cause trouble, not because of Zhao Yan's identity. Although Zhao Yan was the prince, he was not the prince, and he did not hold a position in the court, and only had a leisurely title. In addition, the Song Dynasty has always been very strict with the royal family, so Zhao Yan's identity as a prince might scare ordinary people, but for a noble like Wang Shi and who has a great reputation in the scholarly circle, there is no threat at all.

So what Wang Shi was afraid of was not Zhao Yan's identity, but Zhao Yan himself. Speaking of which, Zhao Yan had long been notorious in the capital, but Wang Shi had a considerable reputation among the Shilin and the nobles. As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing feet. For Wang Shi, Zhao Yan is just barefoot. If the other party stubbornly quarrels with him, Wang Shi would probably be ruined in the end.

It was precisely because he was worried about Zhao Yan that Wang Shi seemed a little absent-minded from the beginning. When he was competing with Li Gonglin, he also said several things wrong in a row. As a result, Li Gonglin laughed proudly, thinking that his painting skills had increased greatly and could finally surpass Wang Shi.

"Brother Jin Qing, I saw that you were a little absent-minded from the moment. Do you have any worries?" At this time, the older Su Shi discovered Wang Shi's abnormality and immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Haha, it's okay, it's just that my mind was uneasy just now, so my brother took advantage of it. Let me come to argue with him again!" Wang Shi said with a smile and shook his head. At the same time, he also thought that Zhao Yan had entered the West Garden for almost an hour, but now he has been staying with the nobles and has no intention of coming here. This made Wang Shi finally relieved and began to disturb his mind and discuss painting skills with Li Gonglin again.

Just as Wang Shi relaxed and discussed with Li Gonglin, he suddenly felt something was wrong around him. As a result, when Wang Shi and others looked up and watched, they happened to see Zhao Yan reciting a poem from their mouths, and Xue Ning'er, who was known as the second line in Tokyo, followed closely, which attracted everyone's attention for a while.

"Why is he here?" Li Gonglin, Su Shi and others had seen Zhao Yan before, and knew that there was some conflict between him and Wang Shi. Now seeing Zhao Yan suddenly appear at the Xiyuan Elegant Festival, and also came to the scholars from the nobles' children. Su Shi and others were very confused for a while, especially Zhao Yan actually came here singing a poem across the bridge according to the rules of Xiyuan Elegant Festival. This is not in line with Zhao Yan's character before.

In fact, the doubts of Su Shi and others were also the doubts of everyone present. However, in addition to the doubts, more people planned to read Zhao Yan's jokes. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Yan was famous for being ignorant, and now he came to the scholars overestimated his ability. It is certain that he made a fool of himself, but the difference was just the way to make a fool of himself.

Xiyuan Elegant Gathering is a very free gathering. Like the children of aristocratic families, these scholars gathered together with three or five friends, either writing poems, paintings, reading books, or speaking scriptures, etc., in different forms, and they look elegant and lively. However, behind this elegance, the scholars attending the party are divided into several large and small circles, such as Wang Shen, Su Shi, Li Gonglin and others, among them, among them. If you want to enter this circle, you must have corresponding talents, otherwise you will only humiliate yourself.

Although the arrival of Zhao Yan and Xue Ning'er attracted the attention of many scholars, these scholars only looked at them a few times and continued to talk to their friends around them. It seemed that they did not take Zhao Yan at all. However, there were still people who glanced at Xue Ning'er, the extremely beautiful second line. They usually wanted to see Xue Ning'er, but they didn't even think about it without spending a few cents of money, and they just met. If they wanted to have a cup of tea or listen to the other party playing a song, they would probably have to at least dozens of cents of traffic.

Zhao Yan stood at the bridge and looked around the circle of scholars. When he saw Wang Shi, his eyes immediately froze and then walked straight forward. Xue Ning'er behind him was not sure what he thought, but he followed Zhao Yan left and right with Xiao Douya. He suddenly looked like Zhao Yan was carrying two personal maids.

Seeing Zhao Yan coming, Wang Shi, as the master, had to stand up and say, "It's beyond Wang's expectations that the arrival of Prince Guangyang!"

Although Wang Shi's words seem to be polite, they are actually implicitly ironic. After all, this is a gathering place for scholars. It is naturally surprising to appear here as a playboy like Zhao Yan.

But what Wang Shu never expected was that Zhao Yan ignored his words. Instead, he looked at Su Shi and others beside him and asked, "Who is Su Shi and Su Zizhan?"

When he traveled to the Song Dynasty, the person Zhao Yan wanted to see the most was Su Shi. He admired this great poet who has been passed down through the ages. In later generations, he recited Lao Su's lyrics a lot. Of course, he was forced by his teachers many times. Whenever he couldn't recite it, Zhao Yan wanted to travel back and strangle Lao Su to death. It is estimated that many of the students back then had the same idea as him. It was only after he grew up that he realized Su Shi's greatness. Now that he really traveled to the Song Dynasty, Su Shi became the person he wanted to see the most.

When Zhao Yan ignored Wang Shi and asked directly who Su Shi's actions, Li Gonglin and others were stunned. Even Su Shi himself was secretly surprised. Although he had seen Zhao Yan several times before, he had never even said anything. Why did the other party ask himself as soon as he came up? Only Wang Shi's face was flushed with anger, and he snorted coldly and sat down again.

However, although Su Shi was surprised, he also stood up and said, "I'm Su Shi below. I wonder what the prince is asking for me?"

Zhao Yan looked at the thin young man in front of him carefully, and saw that the other party was in his twenties, with a straight facial features and a spirit. Although he was wearing a shirt, his temperament was more like a hero than a scholar. Next to Su Shi, there was a young man with a look similar to him. At that moment, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Su Zizhan from the capital. I have also admired a name for a long time. I guess the one next to Zizhan is the brother Su Zhe Su Ziyou, right?"

Su Shi and others were also very surprised by Zhao Yan's gentle and elegant performance in front of him, because this was too different from the legendary Zhao Yan. At this time, Su Zhe, who was standing next to Su Shi, heard Zhao Yan's words and stood up and replied: "You are the prince, it's Su Zhe!"

Seeing that the Su brothers were all there, Zhao Yan could have fulfilled a wish and smiled again: "Haha, I have long admired you two, and there is also Mr. Su Xun. I heard that you, father and son, passed the exam on the same list, and it was a good story for a while. I also yearn for it. If I have time, I will definitely go to the mansion to visit you!"

Su Shi and Su Che felt a little confused about Zhao Yan's active friendship, but they were not willing to refuse the other party's behavior and manners. They had to nod and say that they would definitely wait for the polite words in the mansion. Then they sat down. What no one expected was that Zhao Yan also sat down together, as if he wanted to join Wang Shi and the others' circle.

"Hmph, Your Highness, we are discussing poetry and lyrics here. Is it a bit inappropriate for you to sit down?" Wang Shi was so angry that he was very angry by Zhao Yan just now. Now seeing the other party sitting down and not leaving, he felt even more insulted. After all, in their circle, everyone is a well-educated person. How could Zhao Yan, a ignorant guy, sit with them?

"You are discussing you. I want to sit down and rest when I am tired. I will never disturb you!" Zhao Yan suddenly said with a scoundrel smile. He knew that even if he did nothing, he could play a disgusting role as a person in front of Wang Shi. Of course, he came not only to disgusting Wang Shi, but to defeat him in Wang Shi's most proud painting skills. However, it is not the time to paint at the end, so he can only sit here and wait.
