All the Jinshi climbed up to the numerous palaces and pavilions, only admiring Yun Jingmei's carved railings and jade inlays. Suddenly, they looked back and realized that Chang'an was already at their feet.

Xu Xian also visited the Forbidden City in Beijing in his previous life. He only felt that the palace was a bit larger in size. There was nothing surprising about the architecture. It was just thousands of similar houses. Some were bigger, some were smaller, and some were smaller.

Some are built in high places. Some are built in low places. They are always not as beautiful as Western churches and castles.

But at this moment, he has truly seen the beauty and splendor of the ancient palace. Everywhere is exquisite and grand. This is the palace in the sky that can only appear in dreams. It is also the prosperous age in the prosperous age.

A majestic building that could only be built with the efforts of a whole nation, compared with which the churches and castles of the West are nothing more than clumsy children's toys.

The Jinshi climbed to the highest point of the palace, and the floor was covered with a gorgeous wool carpet, which was an offering from the country in the Western Regions. It was so delicate that no one could bear to step on it.

When people walk on it, they feel extremely relaxed, as if they are in the clouds.

The palace maids on both sides lined the streets to greet the incoming guests, leading them to their respective seats. Groups of palace maids were passing by in the palace, holding sticks of food and wine in their hands, arranging them on the desks, each performing their duties without any clutter. All of them looked beautiful.

Beautiful, dignified appearance, like a goddess.

Even among the Jinshi scholars, there are many who have good backgrounds and are well-informed. At this moment, they can’t help but

He is afraid of his hands and feet, and is as calm as a countryman entering the city for the first time.

Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh that the Queen Mother's peach feast was nothing more than that.

The tables were arranged on several levels. Most of the second and third grade scholars could only look at the main seat in the palace from a distance - an extremely large jade case - although it was still empty. Only Pan Yu and the other three were able to walk straight in.

, Pan Yu and Cheng Zangjian sat down on two sides closest to the main seat, separated by the wide aisle in the middle. Xu Xian's seat was right next to Pan Yu. Even in this position, it was several meters away from the supreme seat.

far away.

After the Jinshis sat down, they left their seats and came to the aisle, waiting for the person who

The arrival of the Supreme.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived, and the Queen has arrived"

I didn’t have time to wait any longer, and the long report had already arrived, passed on by eunuchs one by one.

In the hall, it echoed in the palace.

At dusk, it is even more lonely, but also more majestic.

After three kowtows and nine obeisances, they called out: "Long live my emperor!" They only waited for the words, "I love you all my life!" Then they went back to their seats.

This was the first time Xu Xian saw the Queen, Princess Roujia.

biological mother.

The Queen also wears a phoenix crown on her head and is dressed in a rich dress. Her appearance is somewhat similar to Roujiaguo, and she has the same beauty and beauty. Perhaps it is because of her extraordinary talent or proper maintenance that she looks only in her thirties.

The faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes not only did not detract from her appearance, but added a different kind of charm. Being able to control the harem for decades is no accident.

It's just that she doesn't have the softness of Roujia in her body. Instead, she has the feeling of ruling the harem, and the motherly demeanor is noble and awe-inspiring, like a phoenix in the sky, just waiting for hundreds of birds to come to court. She is facing the supreme golden dragon beside her.

, she is not inferior at all. This kind of temperament even makes people ignore her beautiful appearance and dare not look directly at her.

The Empress glanced around in a dignified manner, but couldn't help but stop at Pan Yu, and was surprised by her appearance. She thought it was all exaggeration by others, but she didn't expect that there really is such a beautiful man in the world!

But she had seen the Chengzang Sword before. His father was the imperial censor of the dynasty. He was a very popular minister and an honest and honest veteran. His grandfather also held this position. The Cheng family has been officials for generations.

Pay homage to the censor. The children who come from such an official family are not bad in manners and knowledge.

Finally, it fell on Xu Xian, but he nodded slightly to Xu Xian, not knowing whether he admired his talent or thanked him for curing Roujia's illness. The Queen has also hosted more than one Qionglin banquet, but this time the first-level Jinshi

She was most satisfied and said to the Supreme Being beside her: "Your Majesty, you can begin."

"Okay." Emperor Jiayu smiled.

At this time, the windows in the hall are wide open, and the evening breeze blows and stirs, making people feel comfortable.

smooth

Xu Xian glanced out the window. The sky was already dark blue, with a few cold stars.

Twinkling eyes.

The palace maid lit the palace lanterns one by one, and the palace suddenly became as bright as day.

The emperor raised his glass alone. Hundreds of Jinshi also raised their glasses. Emperor Jiayu saw this heroic figure.

Even though the crowd was full, their faces were all red, showing great joy.

Xu Xian secretly glanced at his cheap junior brother and secretly wondered if he was so happy because he heard that Master Taiyin wanted to refine the Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill for him to eat.

Emperor Jiayu said some kind words and made a toast: "Bless you."

I, Da Xia, live forever." Then he drank it all in one gulp.

There are etiquette officials who explain banquet etiquette, and they only pay attention to appearance, don't make loud noises and other small details. There are no complicated rules. Instead, there is a kind of freedom, and they explain, "Drink if you can; if you can't drink, you can treat them with tea."

Don't be greedy and lose your temper!" Xu Xian didn't expect to see such humanized etiquette in this ancient palace.

The etiquette officer shouted: "Let's have a banquet!"

"The Qionglin Banquet officially began from then on, and then the banquet of singing, drinking and music

Countless jade plates, delicacies, and gold cups of wine were served to the table like flowing water. When this wonderful banquet in Qionglin was filled with wine, joy came from it, and the crowd gradually became louder. The etiquette officer wanted to stop it, but Emperor Jiayu just smiled and pretended.

He waved his hand to tell the ceremony officer not to pay attention, but focused his attention on Xu Xian.

Xu Xian took a sip of the red wine in the cup, and felt her lips and teeth lingering, beautiful.

Incomparable taste.

Emperor Jiayu said: "Fengxian, how do you like this wine from Xiliang?"

Xu Xian put down the wine glass and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! This wine is very sweet, and I will have endless aftertaste!"

Emperor Jiayu said very kindly: "Today we gather together happily, there is no need to adhere to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. You have the reputation of a poet. Can you be a poet at this banquet in Qionglin?" As soon as these words came out, there was silence around the emperor.

Then it spread to the entire palace, causing the entire hall to become silent, and everyone turned their eyes over.

Those Jinshi sitting far away didn't know what was going on and whispered to the people next to them, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty is asking Xu Tanhua to compose a poem!" This news quickly spread throughout the hall.

Xu Xiandao: "Rong Chen, think about it for a moment!" He had known that this incident would be inevitable. He is now so famous for his poems that he would be surprised if the emperor didn't ask him for poems. He had already prepared for this and made an excuse.

He just doesn't want to give people this feeling. Sometimes he worries about what he will do when he finishes copying three hundred Tang poems. But fortunately, there are fewer and fewer people in the world who can make him write poems, but

At least the person in front of me has this qualification...

The empress smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I am congratulating you on the poetry of wine!" Emperor Jiayu smiled and said: "The queen is right!" He called the waiter and gave Xu Xian three cups of imperial wine. Xu Xian was not polite and drank the three cups of wine.

He sighed and said: "I have it." It is better than the ancients who wrote a poem in seven steps.

"So fast!" Everyone was surprised and said secretly, "Sure enough, he is a worthy warrior despite his great reputation!"

Emperor Jiayu also smiled and said: "Speak quickly and let me listen."

"The past was so dirty that I can't boast about it, but now my dissolute thoughts are boundless. The spring breeze is so proud that my horse's hooves are so bad that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." Xu Xian recited the poem he had prepared half a month ago. He thought he would have no chance to copy it.

I wrote a poem, but I didn't expect that by some strange combination of circumstances, I ended up getting involved in a horse riding parade, and now I just happened to take out this poem to suit the occasion.

Emperor Jiayu was so excited after hearing the exquisiteness and neatness of this poem that he couldn't help but praise: "Ai Qing is really a genius. Come, I will give you three more glasses of wine, a plate of gold beads, and a piece of jade!"

Xu Xian hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After copying poems for so many years, this was the first time he made money. Fortunately, when he was a child, he never thought about improving his life by copying poems.

Emperor Jiayu summoned the ceremonial officer and said a few words. The ceremonial officer read Xu Xian's poem loudly, and then said: "The emperor has a decree. The Daming Palace is about to be completed. I need to congratulate you with poems and poems. If you have good works,

, write it down and submit it, and everyone will be rewarded.

All the Jinshi were jealous of Xu Xian's "unique blessing", and they all responded after hearing this. Not wanting to let Xu Xian take the lead, they wrote poems and poems. Although most of them described the height and size of the building, they also praised the world.

Taiping, the emperor's wise words of praise to the saints. But there are also many masterpieces in them, which were read out in public by the ceremonial officials.

Everyone commented on the poems. Whether the characters were hidden or not, there was something wrong with this poem. The poem used the wrong allusion. In addition, plates of gold and silver beads were given out, which immediately heated up the atmosphere. But most of them only got silver beads.

Very few people got the golden beads, but no one got the jade. It wasn't until Pan Yu and Cheng Zangjian recited a poem and rhyme that they each got a piece of jade.

Xu Xian could see that it was not that their talents were really much higher than others, but that in private, they had already prepared many plans for various situations that might arise today. Suddenly he saw Emperor Jiayu's

Looking over again,

Xu Xian knew that he still couldn't run away, so he quickly asked Pan Yu beside him for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a few lines of words "swish, swish, swish" and handed it to the waiter. The waiter did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly presented the paper to the emperor and empress.

After seeing it, my eyes lit up, and I looked at Xu Xian with a little more approval.

Then he handed the poem to the etiquette officer to sing it and said: "This is a five-character poem written by Xu Tanhua - I live in a dangerous building a hundred feet tall, and I can pick the stars with my hands. I dare not speak loudly, for fear of offending the people in heaven."

This is another high-level work by Li Bai. It contains almost all the advantages of Taibai's poems. It has magnificent imagination, romantic artistic conception, exquisiteness and timelessness. It describes the height of the palace vividly, especially the last sentence, "frightening the people in heaven".

Speaking at this time, it is inevitable that there is a hint of praising the saints, but this praising the saints is extremely clever and not annoying at all.

Emperor Jiayu's heart was filled with confusion. His current goal was to become a real "heavenly man". So without any surprise, the ceremony officer sang: "Your Majesty intends to give Xu Xian another plate of golden beads and a piece of jade!"
Chapter completed!
