After the greetings, the banquet officially began.

The laughter and joy at the banquet of the Hundred Flowers, and the dancers' figures are graceful, which makes them more pleasing to the eye during this spring season.

Only Gu Jiu looks like an alien.

She sat at the table, turning a blind eye to everything around her, like a person who came to eat food, focusing on eating the food in front of her.

Zhou Miao, who was standing beside her, couldn't sit still. Seeing her eating with relish, she whispered to her from time to time: "Sister Gu, look, how could that dancer's waist be so soft!"

She disliked the prince's wife for being too distant from her relationship, so she consciously changed to calling her sister.

Gu Jiu didn't care about her name, so he let her call her. But when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You go and ask her how she practiced."

Hearing Gu Jiu's joke, Zhou Miao put his chin on and smiled. Then he saw Zhou Yao picking up vegetables on her plate and told her softly: "Eat something, just drink tea and feel uncomfortable in her stomach later."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Miao quickly responded with a smile, picked up food for her, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, you can eat too, don't patronize me."

The little girl's considerate made Zhou Yao's eyes smile constantly. He nodded and patted her hands and said, "Be good Miao'er."

That look like coaxing a child.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu lowered his eyes and smiled, and reached out to get the wine pot.

Because there are many female relatives at the banquet, the peach blossoms are all served, which are sweet and delicious, and the fragrance lingers when you drink it.

She liked the taste and unconsciously drank a few more glasses.

Unexpectedly, I took a free time.

Gu Jiu turned around in surprise, but saw that the wine pot had been taken by Qin Zheng.

Feeling her puzzled gaze, Qin Zheng turned his head and said lightly: "Drink less."

His expression was clearly serious, but Gu Jiu had telepathy at that moment and instantly understood what the other person meant.

He was reminding himself that she spoke rudely after drinking too much last time?

Yes...

Pointing at him and saying seduce herself is also the most embarrassing thing in her life!

Gu Jiu blushed suddenly, and he put his hand back, and nodded calmly: "Okay, thank you, the prince."

But the hand that went to serve the tea was a little trembling, and she cursed in her heart. She was also careless. What to do when drinking in front of him? Isn’t this an obvious reminder to him that the embarrassing thing she did before!

So in the following time, Gu Jiu became more and more focused on eating food, and did not dare to look up at all, for fear of hitting the joking gaze of the person in front of him again.

It was precisely because of this that Gu Jiu did not see the smile that flashed across Qin Zheng's lips when she lowered her head and pretended to be a quail.

The smile was light and light, and even Qin Zheng himself had never realized it.

...

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, the eldest princess smiled and said, "Today's banquet is for fun, but it's boring to have wine or not. Why don't we have some fun?"

This is the old rule in previous years, and everyone knew it, so they all responded.

A wife of aristocratic family who was close to the eldest princess smiled and said, "Since we want to have fun, we can also add some good luck. All the young masters of aristocratic family are rich, and their literary style is not inferior. To be fair, if you want to show your style, you will give some rewards if you take the lead, what do the princess think?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess smiled admiringly and said, "This method is very good. No matter what grade we are today, we also imitate the ancients Liushang Qushui. Whoever they go to, they will come. How about it?"

As soon as this was said, the woman before covered her lips and smiled: "The princess's method is very good. Only the same thing is the case. Those who marry will not force them to participate, right? Especially for those who are so knowledgeable and full of willow catkins, if they lose their ugly face on this occasion, they will have no shame to see people in the future."

Hearing her words, the eldest princess smiled and glanced at her and said, "You are so lazy. Forget it, as you say, all the married people can come at will. Anyway, you have gone from poetry, wine, tea, sauce, vinegar and salt, and you don't think there is any poetic and picturesque."

Several married women immediately smiled and agreed with this, laughing in unison: "The princess is wise."

So the rules were decided.

The eldest princess was intrigued and asked someone to bring a wine glass. The palace maid placed it on the water and drifted down with the wind.

The wine glass swayed and went down the road. Everyone present held their breath, hoping to come to their front, and praying not to stop in front of them.

Because of the previous rules, Gu Jiu did not have to participate in this matter. She was full of wine and had some interest. She followed everyone to look at the wine glass, but saw it finally stopped in front of the Bai family's table.

The people present suddenly laughed and sighed. The maid beside her whispered a few words in the princess's ear, and then she heard her smile and said, "Today's opening starts with our top scholar, which is a good omen."

The Bai Mansion was not well-known in Shangjing, so the reason why he was invited to the Hundred Flowers Banquet was because the Bai family produced a new nobleman in the court.

Last year, he won the lead with a vocation of Afang and was appointed as the first in the new academic year by Bai Linyuan.

Bai Linyuan is indeed a real skill. He entered the Hanlin Academy at a young age. Because of his outstanding literary talent, he was listed as one of the many women who went to Beijing as a partner to marry.

Seeing the wine cup stopping in front of him, Bai Linyuan stood up and saluted, with a respectful tone: "Thank you Princess for your love, I am so ugly."

Hearing this, the eldest princess smiled, and didn't know what she thought of, raised her hand to stop him, and said, "Su Wenbai is outstanding in literary talent. Today's banquet starts with you. Why not give me a title? How about you write a poem?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone present suddenly became energetic. This top scholar was a talented and knowledgeable person. Unfortunately, he was a noble person. There were not many people in the Hanlin Pavilion who knew him well.

The woman naturally liked him, but the men became competing again, which made Bai Linyuan the focus for a while.

Gu Jiuli was not far away. From her perspective, you can see that Bai Linyuan seemed to be at a loss, but his nervousness didn't seem to be guilty, but it seemed that he was not used to being paid attention to.

She thought of this, but saw Qin Zheng sitting upright again. Although she still looked careless, she was actually already focused.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but feel funny. She thought Qin Zheng didn't care about anything. She turned out to be a secret comparison to outstanding people?

Bai Linyuan, who was in the room, had already adjusted his mood and said respectfully: "The princess invites each other warmly, but Yuan is disrespectful, so please ask the princess to give a question."

Hearing this, the eldest princess smiled slightly, glanced over the flowers in the garden, and finally landed on the pot of azalea in front of her. She pointed her bare hands and said, "Let's use this as the topic."

After receiving the words of the eldest princess, Bai Linyuan gave another gift, frowned for a moment when he looked at the pot of azalea, and then stretched out again, but the grief between his eyebrows was continuous: "The azaleas burst out and the azaleas cry, like blood and a touch of red. It should be that the spring cannot be kept, and the wind and dew are cold in the middle of the night."

After he finished reading this poem, he was speechless for a long time.

The smile on the eldest princess' lips disappeared, her eyes fell in the void. I didn't know whether to look at him or the pot of cuckoo, but after a long time, she sighed: "What a sentence that is so cold and cold in the wind and dew late at night. Poetry is a good poem, but it's too sad. Bai Daren has a brilliant literary talent and I recognize it, but it does not fit the atmosphere of the feast of the hundred flowers. Do you agree with it if you punish you with a glass of wine?"

Hearing this, Bai Linyuan gave another tribute and said respectfully: "Thank you, the princess, I'm sorry for the punishment, please forgive me."

Seeing that the wine in the glass was gone, the eldest princess smiled and said, "Come on, let's continue."

The wine glass continued to turn down, and Bai Linyuan sat in his seat again.

The first prize winner of Wen should have been a stunning hit, but the opening was not very good.

Although this poem is indeed excellent in literary talent, it is particularly inappropriate in such an occasion.

Gu Jiu turned his cup thoughtfully, feeling a little confused for a moment.

It is said that the top scorer in high school is a thrilling horse, but this top scorer who is happy everywhere seems to have no vitality or conceit of a young man.

There was even a feeling of blood and tears in that poem.

As soon as she thought of this, she saw Qin Zheng beside her face strangely. Although she was laughing, she was ridiculous but extremely cold.

It was clear that this sunny day, she felt a little chilled and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with the prince?"

Hearing her voice, Qin Zheng looked back at her, and his smile fell a lot: "What?"
