August fifteen.

Mooncake Festival.

Palace feast.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been a custom of the emperor entertaining all officials on festive occasions. On this day, all civil and military officials can bring their family members and children into the palace to have a banquet. However, there are no female relatives on Zhengyang Hall. The wives, wives or daughters are all in the side hall, and the queen directs a group of eunuchs to greet them.

On Zhengyang Hall.

The Son of Heaven sat upright on the high hall, Wen Ruyan and Wen Ruyu sat upright on both sides, and further down, there was Su Dinghe, the Prime Minister on the left, Su Bai, who was dressed in white, sat quietly behind the Prime Minister, and the General on the right Yang Zhong, and behind him sat a young man with a firm face and slightly dark skin, who looked very dignified.

Further down, the officials and military generals are separated by official ranks on both sides, and it seems to be very lively.

And all the offspring of the officials sat behind their fathers, and they were honored by the elders, otherwise they wouldn't have the opportunity to live on top of the Zhengyang Palace.

Looking at the bustling scene below, Wen Ruyan couldn't help curling her lips.

To be honest, he is really not interested in participating in this kind of scene. If the rules of the Tian family were not there, he would naturally not come.

I don't know if Ling Wei and Xiao Xiao can get used to the situation in the side hall.

Before going to the banquet today, Wen Ruyan received a decree from the eunuch in the palace, saying that he must bring his two daughters to the banquet. Although the two daughters were afraid in their hearts, they still dressed up carefully and followed Wen Ruyan. They entered the palace together.

After the song and dance, Emperor Zhou raised his glass to all the military officials on stage and said, "Today is a festive season, so I will toast with all my lovers. If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

The emperor toasted, all civil and military officials stood up and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Huang drank the wine in his glass, then looked at the group of young people sitting under the stage and said with a smile: "I see that all the boys from Aiqing's family are outstanding, it is really my great luck. !"

When the young people sitting behind their father heard the emperor's words, they all stood up and toasted the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty is absurd."

Wen Ruyan looked at this scene, and the corners of his eyebrows twitched involuntarily. He didn't like this kind of scene the most, and right now he just felt uncomfortable.

After the toast was over, Eunuch Cheng, who was standing next to Emperor Zhou, found a pile of wooden plaques brought by the little eunuch behind him, bowed his head to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Emperor Zhou laughed and said, "Then let's start."

When everyone in the audience heard what he said, they didn't think there was anything strange about it. Every year at the palace banquet, the emperor would come up with some crossword puzzles for the officials' boys to guess, and if they guessed one correctly, there would be some small rewards. , The crossword puzzles range from simple to difficult, and whoever can guess the last crossword riddle will get another big reward from the emperor.

This group of young princes look forward to this link the most every year. They are not for the rewards, but if they can get the top spot, let their father embarrass themselves in front of everyone, and they can also perform in front of the emperor. Maybe he will be favored by the emperor, and it is more important than anything else to make a good impression in front of His Majesty.

When Eunuch Cheng heard His Majesty say start, he gently put the tray in front of him, then picked up a wooden sign from it, and shouted loudly to the audience: "There is no wind on all sides, and one person is in the middle."

As soon as the words fell, Young Master Feng of the scholar-official family immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Prisoner!"

After finishing speaking, Young Master Feng looked at everyone with a proud face, and the others who thought of it immediately beat their feet and chests, hating themselves for speaking slowly.

Wen Ruyan glanced at him angrily.

I don't know what you're happy to call it.

Su Bai, who was sitting behind Su Dinghe, also chuckled, but didn't speak.

While Mr. Feng was waiting for the reward, Mr. Cheng shook his head with a chuckle, indicating that his guess was wrong.

Mr. Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then many people were also surprised, not this answer?

The air was quiet for a while, and then Young Master He of the Ministry of Industry's Minister's family suddenly said: "I know, it's 'cause'."

Eunuch Cheng nodded with a smile, and everyone suddenly realized that the word "one" was ignored when there was only one person in the middle.

The emperor chuckled, nodded approvingly, and then said, "Reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small eunuch brought a small tray to Mr. He, on which was a jade pendant of high quality. After Mr. He took it, he quickly stood up and saluted the emperor. Said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Emperor Zhou nodded and motioned for Eunuch Cheng to continue.With the beginning, the atmosphere in the field will become more active.

"Happy brows."

"Voice."

"A black dog that neither barks nor growls."

"silent."

"."

One after another, someone answered correctly, and rewards were given out one after another. Those who answered correctly were complacent, and those who hadn't guessed it were eager to try. After being unwilling, the scene gradually became lively.

Eunuch Cheng continued: "99."

As soon as this crossword puzzle came out, many young masters frowned and fell silent. This one is really difficult to guess.

Wen Ruyu, who was sitting opposite Wen Ruyan, raised his wine glass and gestured towards him, then pouted his lips, asking him to guess quickly, Wen Ruyan smiled wryly and shook his head, in his opinion, this is really boring , such a simple crossword puzzle, guessing like this, there is no one else.

Yue Mo was quiet for a while, but no one answered. When Cheng Gong was about to say the next thing, Su Bai, who was sitting behind Su Dinghe, said softly, "Bai."

As soon as he said this, everyone was suddenly enlightened.

Emperor Zhou nodded with a smile, and said, "Reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"This kid from Su Qing's family is really good."

Su Dinghe hurriedly saluted and replied: "Your Majesty is absurd."

From the beginning to the present, this is the first time the emperor has praised a person, and it has aroused the jealousy of those young princes.

Eunuch Cheng then said, "Pick up leftovers and fill up vacancies right."

The group of young boys suddenly fell into a frowning situation again. Most of these crossword puzzles were created by Zhou Tianzi himself. Some were easy and others were difficult. As the scene progressed, the crossword puzzles naturally became more and more difficult.

Seeing that there was no reaction from the audience, Wen Ruyu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said flatly, "Puzzle."

Zhou Tianzi clapped his hands immediately and said loudly, "Okay!"

All the civil and military officials nodded, and the crown prince Wen Ruyu was indeed extraordinary.Then look at the person sitting opposite him, tsk tsk tsk, I can't bear to look directly at him.Both are the princes of the Tian family, why is there such a big gap.

Many officials sighed inwardly, some even looked directly at Wen Ruyan and kept shaking their heads and sighing.

Sensing the pathetic gazes of all the officials in the audience looking at him, Wen Ruyan really felt like beeping the dog.

none of my business?

Looking at Wen Ruyan's expression, Zhou Tianzi raised his mouth slightly.

Eunuch Cheng picked up the last wooden sign and said loudly, "Follow me."

As soon as the word riddle came out, not only the young prince frowned, but even the civil and military officials frowned. They had guessed most of the previous ones, but this one, they really had no clue.

Su Bai was also slightly taken aback, and then fell into deep thought.

Wen Ruyu was the same, this crossword puzzle really baffled him too.

Watching the scene, Tianzi Zhou fell into silence again, picked up his wine glass with a chuckle and took a sip, then looked at Wen Ruyan inexplicably.

　Survive.
