Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 63 Shikui
  At noon, the courtship poetry meeting ended. Princess Liao smiled and said: "This poetry meeting ends here. All girls, follow me to Fuyu Hall."

When they arrived outside Fuu Hall, they met the princes led by the King of Liao.

Zhao Wangshu saw Yao Zhen, Gao Zhi, the fifth prince, the sixth prince and others who did not board the boat to court.

The Princess of Liao led the girls to greet the King of Liao, and the young men paid tribute to the Princess of Liao.

We entered the hall together. Tables and chairs had been set up in the hall. There were two people at each table, with men on the left and women on the right.

They each sat down, and Princess Liao smiled again and said: "Today, on the Lotus Festival, all the talented men and beauties gather together to enjoy the lotus, go boating, and meet friends with poems. It is really a great pleasure in life. I have specially ordered people to prepare wine and food, so there is no need to be formal. Please enjoy.”

Everyone stood up and thanked Princess Liao. King Liao smiled and waved his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone can do whatever they want."

The maids filed in and brought plates of delicacies and wine to the table, and the whole hall was suddenly filled with a mouth-watering aroma.

During the Lotus Viewing Festival, lotus flowers, lotus leaves and lotus seeds can be eaten, and the taste is unique and fragrant.

The lotus flower and tofu stewed together in the snow-cloud soup in front of me are red and white, just like the first glow after snow, and are full of color, fragrance and fragrance.

The King of Liao raised his glass and said, "Come, let's have a drink together."

"To the prince and princess." Everyone raised their glasses.

After drinking the wine, the luncheon officially began.

Melodious music sounded, and the dancers, dressed in thin dresses, floated into the hall and danced gracefully.

The dance is graceful and the body is light, as if a fairy has descended to earth.

Zhao Wangshu tasted the delicious food and enjoyed the wonderful dance.

After they had had enough wine and food, the maids removed the remaining tables and served tea and snacks.

The tea is lotus tea, which has a delicate fragrance and a lingering fragrance that fills your mouth after drinking it.

The pastry is lotus cake, which is made by boiling fragrant white lotus flowers, pounding them into puree, adding rice flour and sugar, and steaming them.

The Princess of Liao asked the King of Liao to take out the poems written by the young masters and girls in the morning, and asked the King of Liao to comment on them and choose the leader.

The King of Liao took the poem manuscript and read it one by one, nodding his head and praising it from time to time, "This poem "Fuchsia" is very well written, fresh and refined, and has profound meaning."

The King of Liao continued: "Who wrote this poem?"

"Reporting to the King of Liao, this poem was written by Xiaosheng." A Confucian scholar stood up and said, "Xiaosheng Guozijian Gongsheng Xiao Bin met the King of Liao.

He was the last man in the last boat to draw lots.

The King of Liao looked at it and nodded with a smile, "This poem is well written, fresh and refined, and has profound meaning. It is indeed a masterpiece."

"Thank you, King Liao, for the compliment. I don't think you deserve it." Xiao Bin said modestly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Princess Liao also said: "Your Majesty, why not choose this poem as the leader."

"Okay, as the princess said, this poem is the leader." The King of Liao accepted her suggestion.

I tested Xiao Bin's knowledge again and saw that what he said was meaningful, so he asked with a smile: "Xiao Bin, this is the year of the competition, will you end up?"

"If you return to the prince, the student union will attend the Qiu Wei Festival."

"Okay, okay, then I am here to wish you success in the Toad Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The students will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." Xiao Bin bowed with a long salute.

After all the poems had been ranked, the Lotus Festival banquet ended and everyone left the banquet to play in the garden in the afternoon. Zhao Yuyan looked at the sisters and said: "The old lady said that today is the Lotus Festival. Each of the sisters has a marriage relationship, so there is no need to get together. It is better to play separately."

After hearing this, no one said anything. Even the youngest Zhao Shuangzhi knew what Mrs. Zhao had planned and dispersed.

Zhao Wangshu didn't want to get acquainted with any noble young master at all, so he took the green branches to a remote corner.

She wanted to hide and be quiet, but sometimes things went against her wishes. She just found a clean place to sit under a tree and heard someone say coldly: "Li Qinqin, are you cheap? You know he is my fiancé. You want to step in, why do you want to be a concubine so much?"

Zhao Wangshu frowned, why is it such a bloody plot again? Looking out from behind the tree, I saw Li Qinqin and Yu Xiaozhi confronting each other.

"Sister Xiaozhi, the prince and I are in love, please help us!" Li Qinqin said pitifully.

"Are we in love? Are you worthy?" Yu Xiaozhi sneered, "I'm telling you, don't have any wishful thinking. Even if you want to be a concubine, I won't let you in."

"Sister Xiaozhi, the Crown Prince doesn't like you. Is it interesting for you to take the throne?" Li Qinqin's eyes turned red. "The Crown Prince told me that he would not marry you."

Yu Xiaozhi's face turned pale and she said sharply: "If you hadn't interfered with this, would the Crown Prince dislike me? You bitch, I won't let you have an easy time."

Zhao Wangshu sighed behind the tree. Why should a woman make things difficult for a woman? The one who deserves the most damn is obviously that scumbag Xie Xun. He is already engaged and yet he wants to provoke other girls.

"Sister Xiaozhi, you are not willing to listen to my good advice. Then I will tell you that I will definitely marry the prince. Just wait and see." Li Qinqin raised her chin proudly and said.

Yu Xiaozhi laughed loudly, "Idiots are just dreaming. You are just a bit pretty and confused the prince for a moment. Don't even think about entering the gate of the Hou Mansion. In the end, the prince's wife can only be me."

"Don't be so sure, there are many things that are beyond your control." Li Qinqin said, turned around and left.

"Bitch, stop here." Yu Xiaozhi chased after her, "Speak clearly to me."

The two walked away, and the place finally returned to peace. Zhao Wangshu leaned against the tree, raised his head, and met a pair of deep eyes.

"Whoosh!" The man on the tree came down. Zhao Wangshu couldn't help but tease him: "Master Yun, why do I always see you in the tree? Could it be that you are a monkey?"

"It's relatively quiet in the trees," Yun Hao said.

"Why didn't you go to the lotus leaf boat to compose poems? I thought you didn't come." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Yun Hao lifted the hem of his robe and sat down next to her, "You want to hear me compose a poem? I'm a military commander."

"People say that Mr. Yun is both civil and military." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Yun Haoqing smiled slightly, "Who said that?"

"Want to know?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a sly smile.

"Jinzunlou's crispy squab tastes great." Yun Hao tempted her with delicious food.

"You've invited me to dinner again, four times. Aren't you afraid that I'll make you poor?"

Yun Hao smiled, "With your appetite, you can't even feed me."

The two of them didn't chat for a few words before they heard someone say: "County Master, I saw Lord Yun going that way."

"Wang Shu, let's see you another day." Yun Hao stood up, flew up the tree, and disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Wangshu saw Yun Hao leaving and wanted to leave, but then she thought about it. She didn't have the ability to come and go. It would be bad if she left in a panic, got caught, and misunderstood. If she continued to lean on the tree, "Green Branches" , sit down, don’t stand.”

"Yes, girl." Luzhi sat down where Xian Yunhao was sitting, with a leisurely attitude.
