Chapter 126 Rumors, I want to be Jing'an Crown Princess
Shen Shi, Jinghua Palace, Qiongfang Banquet.

This year's Qiongfang Banquet was particularly lively. In addition to the top [-] ladies, some talents from the south of the Yangtze River were also invited. Among the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Shiming and Shen Yunfeng were there.

In addition, Cheng Yujiao, who had long been dismissed from being drafted, was also invited to attend.

Ye Muxi, who had been on the cusp of the storm, didn't come.Ye Qingyao was alone and was not with her.

"It's strange, why didn't you see Ms. Ye Muxi at the Qiongfang Banquet today?" A lady said in surprise, "Ms. Muxi won seven cards. Missed her."

Another girl has already taken over the conversation and said, "That's because you are ignorant. Don't you know that Jiangnan is spreading the rumors about Miss Ye Si's license? I think she is afraid that she will be criticized face to face at the banquet today, and she will not look good. , so I dare not come.”

"No way, Ms. Muxi won four top cards in the first round, and her strength is well-deserved. Why is her background wrong?" Wu Lingyan asked in confusion.

The lady shook her head and said, "It is precisely because Miss Ye Si is good at deli and literary calculation, it must have taken a lot of hard work to get four cards, so it is impossible for her to have so much free time to study in female arts. Except for the three upper cards she got earlier, didn't she take any other subjects?"

"This doesn't explain anything... Miss Ling Xuan'er still got seven cards? Why can't Miss Muxi get seven cards?" Wu Lingyan frowned.

The lady said, "Miss Ling Xuan'er has been famous for a long time, and she has always been the well-deserved number one lady in the south of the Yangtze River. Her strength is obvious to all. There is no doubt that she can get the top card in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I’ve seen it before. But Miss Ye Si doesn’t have anything handed down besides that painting.”

"There is some truth in what you said. It's just that Prince Jing'an has always been fair, so I don't believe that he will play favoritism." Wu Lingyan still refused to believe it.

The girl said, "I don't believe that the prince is such a person. There are rumors that Miss Ye Si deceived the prince Jing'an and made the prince Jing'an mistakenly think that her female celebrity and cooking skills can get two cards. I see so much Everyone's words are convincing, and it doesn't seem to be groundless, I guess there is something wrong with Miss Ye Fourth's two cards."

All the ladies talked a lot, some believed it, some didn't believe it, and some doubted it.But the real source of the rumors still came from Cheng Yujiao.

"Miss Ye Qingyao, why didn't you see Sister Ling today?" Ling Xuan'er asked with a concerned look, "Since the first round of the draft, I haven't seen Miss Ye Si again, which is really a miss. I don’t know why Miss Ye Si didn’t take the examination of the Six Arts, but she was sick?”

Ye Qingyao smiled faintly, "My sister is doing well, she is not sick, and Miss Lao Ling is concerned about it. Didn't Miss Ling fail two subjects in the six major arts? My sister just happened to have one more subject than you. What's the matter?" Is it worth the strangeness?"

"It's not surprising, I just regret not being able to take the exam with Miss Ye Si." Ling Xuan'er hypocritically smiled, "You two sisters have always been inseparable. Today you came, but Miss Ye Fourth didn't come, are you not coming? "

Ye Qingyao said, "I don't know either. When I went out today, my sister was already gone, so I left a message to let me go to the banquet by myself. If my sister wants to come, she will come naturally. If she doesn't come, then there is something delaying her." .”

"It's not surprising that Miss Mu Xi didn't come. What's really strange is that Cheng Yujiao was deposed from the draft, wasn't she? Why did she appear here?" Wu Lingyan asked.

Ling Xuan'er didn't know why Cheng Yujiao came, but after looking at so many talented people, she vaguely felt that it had something to do with the recent rumors that Nangong Lin was planning to do.

But now, the banquet is about to begin, Ye Muxi has not shown up, so what's going on?

Rumors are fiercer than tigers.Explanations are always useless, even if Nangong Lin wants to do something, what can he do?

clang clang ~
Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the application time has come.The maidservants came out with trays of dim sum dishes and placed them in front of all the ladies and talents.

Orchestral shengxiao, singing and dancing make peace.

Cheng Yujiao frowned and looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her, but she had no appetite.Qiongfangyan invited her to appear, what does Chaohuang Academy mean?
Looking at Lin Shiming opposite, they exchanged glances.

The Cheng family agitated Shilin's public opinion, and Lin Shiming also stepped in.Now the two families have hooked up, working hand in hand.

"What kind of feast is this? Why are there some dishes that I've never seen before?" Someone asked in wonder.

Ling Xuan'er glanced at the banquet and was also a little surprised. She showed off her erudition, and said with a slight smile, "This is the Manchu banquet. It's normal if you haven't seen it before. The Manchu banquet is always only performed by the royal chefs. There are no ordinary places. , I was lucky enough to see this kind of banquet because of the saint's tour to the south. At the banquet, all the chief examiners arrived, but I didn't see the two adults who were chief cooks. They must have cooked the dishes themselves. In the whole Jiangnan, they were the only ones. The two of them can make a full banquet of Han and Han people."

"So that's how it is. Miss Xuan'er is really well-informed, and even knows the whole banquet."

"Yeah, yes, I've heard of the Man-Han Banquet long ago, and this is the first time I've seen it. I didn't expect Prince Jing'an to be so generous, asking the two master examiners to cook a Man-Han Banquet for us. I've never heard of Qiongfang Banquet's banquet being so particular. "

Ling Xuan'er was also a little confused, "In previous years, the Qiongfang Banquet did not have a full banquet. I don't know why this year there is..."

"I think it's because Ms. Xuan'er has won seven cards, and Crown Prince Jing'an appreciates it very much, so he made this Qiongfang Banquet to celebrate Ms. Xuan'er." The subordinate officials of the chief envoy have always followed Ling Xuan'er's lead.

Everyone else felt that this woman was too shameless in flattering her, but no one would refute without understanding.

"Xuetao, what you said is too much. The Qiongfang banquet is for the celebration of the sisters, how can it be said that it is for me?" Ling Xuan'er felt relieved in her heart, but she said with a straight face on the surface.

Feng Xuetao said hastily, "Miss Xuan'er, don't be angry, I'm telling the truth. It's true that the Qiongfang Banquet is to celebrate all the ladies, but isn't Miss Xuan'er one of the ladies, and she is number one, and should be celebrated the most This is Miss Xuan'er. Besides, the Ling family and Jing'an Houfu are family friends, and Prince Jing'an is celebrating Miss Xuan'er, not for outsiders."

"Xuetao, stop talking nonsense. However, Shizi and I are naturally not outsiders." Ling Xuan'er pursed her lips, a shyness appeared on her face.

The Ling family had long intended to marry the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

The emperor asked Nangong Lin to preside over the drafts of the 36 states in the south of the Yangtze River. Outsiders did not know, but she learned from a secret channel that the emperor once made a golden statement. If the son had a lady he liked, he would marry him and choose him as the son. concubine.

That's why Ling Xuan'er was full of hostility towards Ye Muxi. She had to be the champion, so that Nangong Lin's eyes could be attracted to her.

Coupled with the fact that the family is well matched and the two families are family friends, as long as Nangong Lin nods, she will be the proper Concubine Jing'an.

"Brother Shen, do you know why Prince Jing'an invited us here today?" Lin Shiming asked Shen Yunfeng beside him.

Shen Yunfeng smiled lightly, "I don't know. However, it is also a blessing to be able to participate in the Qiongfang Banquet of Chaohuang Academy. If you come, you will be safe, Brother Lin, this Manchu banquet is well-deserved, and every dish is very unique. I don’t know where Crown Prince Jing’an got the royal chef for a table, it tastes great. It’s not different from the palace banquets I had in the past.”

"Oh, Brother Shen, use it slowly." Lin Shiming smiled politely.He has done something wrong, so he is not as big-hearted as Shen Yunfeng, even if the delicious food is placed in front of him, it is tasteless.

I always feel that I have entered someone else's trap, but I can't think of anything wrong.

Shen Yunfeng didn't care about him any more, his attention had already been attracted by these dishes, while eating, he tasted them with a few gifted scholars who had good friends with him, and some even wrote two poems on the spot.

Half an hour later, all the [-] dishes of the Man-Han banquet were filled, and everyone had already enjoyed their meals. At this moment, a guard sang from outside the door, "Hero Jing'an is here!"

Everyone stood up and saluted Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin, dressed in red, walked in from the gate. Three thousand silver threads were like snow, and his handsome face was flawless.The unique beauty of heaven and earth can always attract everyone's attention in an instant.

"We are really flattered to be honored by your son and give us a full banquet." Ling Xuan'er, as the head of all the girls, said first, "It's also hard work for the two master examiners to do this meeting for us."

Nangong Lin's eyes rarely fell on her face, and a slight upward curve appeared on her lips, "Miss Ling once accompanied the driver and ate the full banquet given by the Holy Spirit. What does Miss Ling think of today's full banquet?"

"Naturally, it's very good. It reminds me of the taste I ate when I accompanied the driver in the early years. The two chief examiners are worthy of being royal chefs, and their craftsmanship is excellent." Ling Xuan'er said.

Shen Yunfeng took the words with a smile, "Seeing this table, one knows what a jade plate is worth, and it is ashamed to be worth tens of thousands of dollars. To be able to eat a table full of Chinese and Chinese people, and to come to the Qiongfang Banquet today, is really profitable."

"Although I haven't eaten the Manchu Banquet, the taste is just as I imagined." Another girl took the conversation.

Others praised one after another, and they were full of praise for the Manchu Banquet.

Nangong Lin glanced at everyone, his eyes couldn't tell whether they were happy or cold, they were both.

Jun Mochen, who was with him, understood his mood very well. A certain person is not even willing to share a plate of pastries with others, but now he gives out [-] dishes at once. Can he be happy?
