Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 137 The Qionghua Banquet Game between Emperor and Empress (4)
The queen nodded and took the words, "It's almost time, let's go back."

Emperor Yuan Qing helped the queen's hand to stand up, and the chief executive next to him immediately shouted loudly: "Putting the imperial garden."

So a group of people headed towards the imperial garden in a mighty manner. Ling Xihan walked through the crowd and felt a scorching gaze.She glanced at Xiao Minglan's slightly complicated eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then walked in front of him, her steps were calm and unhurried, without the slightest pause.

Xiao Minglan's eyes sank, his fists were clenched and then loosened.Prince Rui and Princess Rui came up, seeing his despondent look, she sighed slightly.

"Lan'er, let's go."

Xiao Minglan remained silent, and then strode forward, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

Behind the crowd, Xiao Tingxuan and Ouyang Chen stood side by side, looking at the white figure that was getting further and further away in the crowd, thinking about each other.

Soon they arrived at the Imperial Garden, and after everyone took their seats one by one, the queen asked Biying.

"Where did the Qionghua Banquet go?"

Biying stood beside him respectfully, "The signing code is ready."

"Then let them smoke." She turned her head to look at Ling Xihan, "Han'er, you can go too."

Ling Xihan nodded, got up and walked down, and sat next to Ling Xiqing.With a glance in her eyes, she found that Xiao Tingxuan and Ouyang Chen had also drawn lots, so she couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly.After a while, everyone got their lottery codes, and the two court ladies also returned to their respective positions.

The queen put down the teacup in her hand, "It's all done, let's start." She swept her eyes slightly and said, "Who is number one?"

A woman stood up from the female guest seat, wearing a light-colored skirt to wrap her exquisite figure, dignified and graceful, yet demure and beautiful.The hair is rolled up in a cloud bun and fixed with jade hairpins, delicate and elegant.Dai Mei skillfully painted light palace makeup, her mouth seemed to contain Zhu Dan, and she wore earrings that were faintly visible like water.Outline its charming and enchanting.

It's her, Zhong Peirong!Ling Xihan raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Zhong Peirong bowed to the queen, and a man stood out from the male guest's seat opposite, dressed in brocade clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and handsome, with a steady face.

"Girl, please." He was quite a gentleman.

Ling Xiqing whispered in Ling Xihan's ear, "He is Li Yi, the son of Li Rong, deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Zhong Peirong glanced at Li Yi, disdain flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled and said: "The little girl is welcome." Seeing a bridge in the distance, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Sifang Bridge, the bridge is square, stand on the Sifang Bridge and look in all directions, all directions are four directions."

Surprise flashed across Ling Xihan's eyes, he didn't expect Zhong Peirong to be quite talented.

Li Yi thought for a while, and said: "Long live Lord, long live Lord, kneel in front of Long live Lord and shout long live, long live, long live, long live."

Well, this pair is a good match, both neat and on the scene.

Zhong Peirong's face was a little ugly, she probably didn't expect that the son of a deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would have such talents.But right now, people are right, so it's hard for her to say anything.

"My lord, please come up with a question."

Li Yi clasped his fists together, "There are three masters in one village and two miles who don't know the four books, five classics and six arts, but dare to teach seven, eight or nine sons, it's very bold."

Ling Xihan smiled, this Li also deliberately made things difficult for Zhong Peirong, it seems that he doesn't like this arrogant young lady either.Just looking at the handkerchief in Zhong Peirong's hand that was about to twist into a twist, it can be seen that she doesn't match the couplet.

"Third Sister." Seeing her smile, Ling Xiqing asked curiously: "This couplet is so difficult, could it be that you can match it?" After Ling Xiqing asked, she couldn't help but think of the three couplets that Zhao Xinyue made just now, and couldn't help but feel dumb.

Ling Xihan just smiled and said nothing, just poured wine into the glass and drank it low.Slowly, she felt a bunch of probing eyes looking towards her.She raised her eyes, just in time to meet Xiao Tingxuan's smiling phoenix eyes.She turned her head, thinking that Zhao Xinran made things difficult for her because of Xiao Tingxuan just now, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed and annoyed, but she didn't know what she was annoyed about.

Zhong Peirong thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, and his eyes were already faintly anxious.Her eyes for help fell on the handkerchiefs around her, but these young ladies who usually think highly of themselves turned their faces away as soon as they met her gaze, or they drank tea to cover it up.Zhong Peirong was angry and furious, but there was nothing he could do.

After a cup of tea, Zhong Peirong still didn't come up with the second line.The queen gave Biying a wink, and Biying stood up knowingly.

"When the time is up, if Ms. Zhong still can't answer the question, she must follow the rules of the game and perform her talent, and the talent of the show must be satisfied by the person who proposed the question."

Zhong Peirong gritted her teeth, anger flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to make mistakes because she couldn't answer the question, so she could only say, "Yes." She was about to let the maidservant fetch the qin, but at this moment she smelled a A soft female voice came.

"Ten monasteries, nine monks, and eight scrolls are kept in strict compliance with the seven precepts, the six principles and the five laws, but there are no four, three, or two disciples who are helpless."

Ling Xihan followed her gaze and saw that the person answering the question was a petite and gentle woman with delicate features, a waist like a willow, and shoulders like shaves, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes.Gentle and pleasant.The long black and smooth hair was coiled into a beautiful bun, and there was a chance that the broken hair would fall down, bringing out a bit of elegance and agility.The pale gold embroidered robe was covered with a translucent gauze of the same color, and it was dragged to the ground.

Her face was a little embarrassed, and her clear eyes were slightly shy when she met Li Yi's admiring eyes, and two blushes quickly flew up on her cheeks.

"I don't know if the little girl is right?"

Li Yi's eyes were warm and soft, "Dare to ask the girl?"

The woman looked shy and spoke softly. "Little girl Hu Qiulian, the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"Young lady is quick-witted, I admire it, but I have another couplet here, I wonder if the lady can enlighten me?" Li Yi obviously had a good impression of Hu Qiulian.

Hu Qiulian blushed slightly, "I don't dare to teach you, please ask your son to come up with a question."

The emperor and queen in the seat looked at each other, with smiles flashing across their eyes.

"Water-cooled Jinhan Fire Temple is under construction."

Hu Qiulian thought for a while, and said softly: "What about the military officer in the Southern Tune-North Tune?"

Li Yi's eyes lit up, he clasped his fists and said, "The girl is so talented, I'm willing to bow down."

Hu Qiulian was a little embarrassed, "Young master, you are polite."

The queen suddenly smiled and said: "A man with a talent and a woman's looks are a match made in heaven." Both Li Yi and Hu Qiulian were a little embarrassed, especially Hu Qiulian, whose face was red to the neck.

Looking at the expressions of these two people, the queen knew that they were interested in each other, and said: "I think these two young people are a good match, Mr. Hu, Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Master Hu and Master Li who were pointed out quickly stood up and knelt down in the middle, both of them looked upright.
