Banquet ministers

Eunuch Zhou came in with his hands in his hands, "Your Majesty, can you pass on the meal? Today I specially made the Four Wonders of the Capital... Hey, where is Lord Yan?"

"Go down!" Lin Rongchen said angrily.Fortunately, he ordered the Imperial Dining Room to cook all the Suzhou dishes today, and he kindly fed them all to the dogs!

Since the emperor didn't really like Yan Xi, his sweet pastry instantly became insignificant.But Qiu Zhonghai couldn't wait to invite him to have a drink. The reason, of course, was to inquire about the news.Wouldn't it be a pity not to use it so close to the water?

"My dear brother, come and taste it. This is the wine from outside the customs. It is rich in color and sweet in taste." Qiu Zhonghai poured the wine and did not forget to test Yan Xi. Do you want to recruit a virtuous brother to be a consort? If so, you should congratulate your virtuous brother!"

This can all be guessed... Yan Xi was extremely shocked. Could it be that someone was listening to the corner that day?But after thinking about it, if someone was eavesdropping, Qiu Zhonghai would not have come to look for him, so he shook his head in despair, with the expression of being robbed of his precious things, "No, the emperor wants to recruit a son-in-law for the princess. , but not Brother Yu."

"Oh?" Qiu Zhonghai was quite surprised, he hadn't heard of any son from an aristocratic family being summoned by the emperor recently.

"Didn't Princess Diqiu say that everyone in the capital knows that she likes Master Gu?"

"My dear brother, what do you mean... the emperor wants to recruit Gu Tingzhi as his son-in-law?" Qiu Zhonghai tried his best not to laugh out loud. This is great news!The grand master will definitely remember him for his merits, is it just a matter of time before he is promoted to a noble?

"The emperor has this intention, but he has not made it clear yet."

No matter what he said or not, this thorn in the side and the thorn in the flesh cannot be left behind, without one stumbling block, it will be just around the corner to move to Jiayan.

Afterwards, rumors came from unknown sources, saying that Yan Xi's number one scholar was not genuine, and even how he cheated in the palace examination and how he deceived the emperor was spread as if it had happened in real life.Many people whispered openly and secretly.The rumors are getting worse.

Not only did Yan Xi not clarify, she even avoided people when she saw them.

Yu Junyuan had heard enough of these gossips in the Imperial Academy every day, and seeing that Yan Xi didn't explain a word, he was anxious for him like an ant on a hot pot, "Brother Yunxin, why didn't you explain it clearly to them?"

Yan Xi smiled, "The clear is clear, and the turbid is turbid. Is there anything to explain?"

"But they've tarnished your reputation like this..."

"Fame? Have you really heard of his reputation?" Chang Xiao suddenly spoke from the side, which startled Yu Junyuan. "How did you know that the man standing in front of you is a dignified beast in clothes."

Yu Junyuan could stuff an egg into his mouth, "Chang...Chang Xiao, what do you mean by that?"

"Who in Gusu doesn't know that the young master of the Li family is ignorant, domineering, and loves to hang around? How did he come to be the number one scholar? Only he himself knows! This kind of person deserves your respectful title of 'Brother Yunxin'? "Chang Xiao clasped her arms, and continued to expose the scar with a nonchalant expression, "The gentleman in front of you flirted with a woman from a good family as soon as he came to the capital, and was sued to Yingtian Mansion. If the emperor hadn't stepped forward, he might still be in prison now."

Yu Junyuan: "..."

Yan Xi: "..."

So that's the reason why Chang Xiao rejected him and hated him so much.However, isn't it agreed that there will be no fourth person to know about the sky prison?Why is he so clear?

"Brother Yunxin, is what Chang Xiao said true?" How could such a thing happen?Yu Junyuan felt that his cognition had been completely overturned, no matter how he looked at it, Yan Xi didn't look like that kind of person.

Yan Xi didn't intend to explain, but nodded and admitted, "What he said is true."

"Stupid!" After Chang Xiao gave the word to Yu Junyuan, she turned and left.

Yu Junyuan stared at Yan Xi dumbfounded, unable to speak for a while.

Yan Xi, on the other hand, didn't take it seriously, "Brother Yu should stay away from me in the future," and went to the Imperial Academy after speaking.

Lin Rongchen was not as magnanimous as Yan Xi, he was very angry when he heard the rumors, so he summoned him to the Hall of He'an, and gave him a good reprimand.

Yan Xi defended aggrievedly, "The rumors are not all wrong, it is indeed a little bit of luck for me to be the number one..."

It was fine if he didn't open his mouth, but Lin Rongchen exploded when he opened his mouth, "Are you still reasonable? You mean that I am blind, and even the number one pick is wrong?"

"My minister is terrified." Yan Xi cursed, this ability to misinterpret people is unique in the whole Yunchu.

Lin Rongchen was furious, "Are you terrified? When have you ever been terrified? No wonder you are terrified! Aren't you so courageous!"

"Wei Chen dare not."

"I'm also crazy, that's why I play the piano to the cow here." Lin Rongchen held his forehead, and said "hold back", "hold back" several times in his heart, "I will give you a chance to explain well, why do you acquiesce? The officer misunderstood me?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Xi doesn't understand officialdom, but understands people's hearts. I deliberately gave this rumor to Qiu Zhonghai." Without the low eyebrows and pleasing eyes just now, Yan Xi's expression has a certain kind of well-planned calculation. "Instead of being passive, it's better to be the host. Whatever he wants, I'll give it to him."

Lin Rongchen was stunned, as if he couldn't accept his changes all at once, "What do you mean by that?"

"The emperor knows why." Yan Xi blinked at him, and said slyly, "I heard that the emperor will entertain all the officials every year at the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"That's right." Lin Rongchen looked at him suspiciously, apparently still not recovering from the shock.

Yan Xi said: "Since Huang Jingchun knows such important news, what do you think he will do? It must be to embarrass me in public and embarrass the emperor..."

"What good does it do?"

"It's hard for a gnat to shake a big tree. It's really not good to do so...but at least I got a sigh of relief."

Lin Rongchen stared at him blankly, is this person still the naughty boy he knew?When did he learn to count people's hearts?Or did he never recognize the boy in front of him?I always thought that he was ignorant and incompetent, but I never thought that he was just a failure, and he didn't want to be seen by others. "I can't see through you more and more."

Yan Xi smiled, "The emperor will always be the emperor, and Yan Xi will always be Yan Xi." Nothing will change, and nothing will change.

In Lin Rongchen's ears, it had a different meaning: they were monarchs and ministers, unchangeable and insurmountable monarchs and ministers.

Yan Xi thought to himself that even if he couldn't get the gold medal for avoiding death, he still had to make a promise from Lin Rongchen, lest he find out the truth of the matter and cut himself off in a fit of anger. "I hope that the emperor will forgive the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"The crime of deceiving the emperor? What have you deceived me?"

Yan Xi smiled harmlessly, "This...it's not a big deal, the emperor will know when the time comes."

Since it wasn't a big deal, Lin Rongchen didn't bother to argue with him, so he nodded and agreed.

It is a grand event in Yunchu to give a banquet to ministers at the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

From Mingde Hall to Qianqiu Gate, it was nearly a mile, and there were banquet tables and chairs for all officials to sit.Lin Rongchen didn't want to be extravagant and wasteful, the food on each table was small but delicate, except for seasonal fruits and rice dumplings, there were two dishes of vegetables and a jug of wine.Originally, this picture of giving a banquet was a lively event. After drinking for three rounds, Huang Jingchun came out and said: "Your Majesty, every banquet in the past has always been the same flying flower order. Why don't you play something fresh this year?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine also wants to open her eyes!" Concubine Yi sat at the first table on the lower right, and bowed to the Empress Dowager next to the main table, "The Empress Dowager definitely wants to see it too, right?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, "As long as you like it." She is old, her ears are not good, and her appetite is not very good.Participating every year means watching the younger generations have fun.

"How does Ai Qing want to be lively?" I'm afraid this test will not be easy, Lin Rongchen is only worried that Yan Xi's cleverness will be misunderstood by his cleverness, if he makes a fool of himself in front of all the officials...

Huang Jingchun said: "How about we play drums to pass flowers this year?"

Lin Rongchen said, "How about beating drums to pass flowers?"

Huang Jingchun clapped his hands, and lifted a drum the size of a vat from left to right.

Lin Rongchen: "..."

Yan Xi: "..."

Sure enough, they came prepared.

"This is interesting!" Concubine Yi applauded again and again, "Concubine Yu, don't you think so?"

Yupin nodded slightly.

"What is beating drums to pass flowers?" It was the first time Diqiu had seen this kind of game, and she looked at Lin Rongchen with bright eyes.

Huang Jingchun pointed to the embroidered flowers and plaques presented by the palace servants, and said: "When the drums sound, the flowers begin to be passed on, and when the drums sound, whoever hands the flowers to will turn over the plaques, and recite poems and paint according to the requirements on the plaques. how?"

"This is good! This is good! Brother Huang, just play like this!" Di Qiu applauded.

"It's very fresh, Your Majesty, my humble minister seconded the proposal." He Shuyue shook her fan and nodded leisurely.

"..." Lin Rongchen sighed.

Huang Jingchun looked at Yan Xi and said with a smile: "It is said that the number one scholar is extremely talented and knowledgeable. I hope I can open my eyes today!"

Yan Xi's face was pale, and he got up and said: "Well, Mr. Huang... the officer suddenly feels unwell in his stomach, I'm afraid..."

"Quick, pass on to Imperial Physician Zhao!" Huang Jingchun jumped up and pushed out a little eunuch, "Hurry up and pass on to Imperial Physician Zhao!" Yan Xi was stunned, this swift action was not at all like a person in his 40s.Huang Jingchun secretly winked at Du Jun, and Yan Xi's behavior further confirmed that there was something wrong with the champion!Today, no matter what, he cannot be allowed to leave the banquet with an excuse.

"Aiqing, since Yan Qing is ill, why not let him..."

"Your Majesty!" Du Jun said loudly, "Why don't you let Imperial Physician Zhao come and have a look first, and then it won't be too late for someone to send him back... Your Majesty Zuo Yan wants to see a doctor, how can the doctors outside have an imperial doctor? Your Majesty Say it?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. You like Mr. Yan so much, you must not worry about letting a quack doctor treat him." Concubine Yi answered the words very timely.

Di Qiu also said: "Second Emperor Brother, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor, and show it to Mr. Yan, so you don't want to delay the banquet."

"..." It was so reasonable that Lin Rongchen couldn't refute it, but the word "like" still made his expression stiff.Seeing Yan Xi trembling nervously, he sighed again, and things were getting out of control.

Yu Junyuan also noticed that Yan Xi's expression changed, and whispered to Chang Xiao, "Yun Xin doesn't seem to be feeling well..."

Chang Xiao came to the banquet just to watch a good show, he sneered, "I think Yan Xi is obviously pretending, if he has real talent and learning, why should he do that?"

When he said this, even Yu Junyuan couldn't help but believe those rumors, and became worried for Yan Xi.In front of the officials, what would he do if his secrets were revealed?What can the emperor do?

Lin Rongchen made a fist with his hand, put it on his lips, and coughed lightly, "Master Yan, do you need to see an imperial physician?"

Yan Xi rubbed her stomach, and smiled embarrassingly after she was caught playing tricks, "...No, no, it seems to be much better now, thank you, the emperor and all the adults, for your concern."

"That being the case, let's start!" Huang Jingchun's purpose was very clear, and he didn't even want to do extra perfunctory, the first round of embroidery stopped in front of Yan Xi.

The palace servants immediately brought the tray covered with red silk cloth forward, pointed to four beautifully crafted hollow carved wooden signs and said: "Master Yan, please turn over one of the four signs of 'Feng Hua Xue Yue'."

Yan Xi's hand moved back and forth on the four signs, and everyone's eyes followed his hand around.I'm afraid no one knows about those rumors about him now, and most of the people sitting here are waiting to see the joke.How will a champion who got by cheating end up this time?Just thinking about it makes me feel... This matter is very explosive.

"Just, let's just do this!" Yan Xi pointed his finger at the wooden sign on the far left, and said in frustration.

The palace man turned the sign over and read: "Take the moon as the theme, and compose an impromptu poem."
