tease you

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, the palace set up a banquet of Qushui Liushang as usual. It is said that at this time, the seasons are changing, and the yin energy has not yet receded and the yang energy is beginning to appear. Naturally, this cannot be the case in the palace, so it evolved into the ministers washing and changing clothes in the mansion and then entering the palace to participate in the banquet. The difference is that this banquet is held by the water, so it has a special flavor.

Not long after the banquet started, some officials came scatteredly, chatting and joking together when they were friendly with each other, Meng Yichen arrived at this time, and a few winking people hurried up to compliment: "Master Tai Tuo!" They nodded slightly, gentle and respectful, and soon, Qi Guogong and others also arrived.

"The emperor is here------" With a sound, everyone knelt down and worshiped. Qu Yi sat at the head and waved his hands to them. The officials all stood up according to rank. Qi Guogong and the three of them The one with high position and weight naturally sits closest to the emperor, and Meng Yichen's position is not low, only under Prime Minister Meng.

The banquet officially started. Under the open sky, music was played, a group of dancers danced lightly, and the adults toasted each other. The artificially cast water tank beside the stream was gurgling, and a sapphire wine glass was slowly flowing down with the water. For the first time, it stopped at Li Shangshu before.

Li Muqing picked up the wine glass and got up and said: "I'm not talented, so let's write a poem." Qu Yi didn't object, Li Muqing thought for a while, and said slowly: "The good times are long gone, and the style of the prime of life has been secretly sold. Suddenly recalled It's the same school book day, and it's the present time to get drunk together every year." "Okay," everyone applauded with great dignity, Qu Yi smiled perfunctorily, obviously not interested in it.

After Li Muqing sat down, the wine glasses flowed again, this time, they stopped in front of Duke Qi.Duke Qi took the wine glass, bowed to the emperor and said: "The old minister is not good at those poems and songs, so please present this sword." Flicking the blade of the sword lightly, there was a crisp sound, eyes lit up and sighed, "Good sword." Then Qi Guogong said with a smile: "Qi Guogong cut off his love, please sit down."

Then, the wine glass swirled again, this time, it stopped in front of Meng Yichen.

Meng Yichen calmly picked up the wine glass, cupped his hands and said to Qu Yi: "Your Majesty, Lord Li is composing poems, and Lord Qi is presenting swords. Next time, Lord Li doesn't have the ability to compose poems at will, and he doesn't have much treasure to offer, but A few days ago, I got a fairly novel object, let's take a look." Everyone was a little surprised, Meng Yichen's literary talent is outstanding, everyone thought he would definitely write a poem like Li Muqing, but if his poems are too good It would inevitably make Li Muqing look bad and offend the family for nothing, but if it was not good, it would also disgrace the Meng family. In fact, it was a dilemma. I didn't expect this kid to be very smooth, and he could not offend anyone.

"But" Qu Yi half propped himself up on one hand, Meng Yichen murmured a few words to the person around him, and then the person nodded and went down, and after a while, a heavy pot was brought up, covered with red silk.

Meng Yichen slowly lifted the red silk and said: "Your Majesty, please take a look." It turned out to be a seven-colored peony, shining in the warm sunlight, it was very strange.

Qu Yi finally sat up straight, and said with some surprise in his eyes: "This is the first time I have seen a colorful peony." Prime Minister Meng was also surprised, but he couldn't help showing a little bit to Meng Yichen when he heard the words of the people around him focused on the discussion With a satisfied look, he is indeed his good son, who never disappointed him.

Li Muqing supported his chin and said: "Most of the peonies I have seen are monochromatic, like this colorful shining ones I have never heard of, can you explain a little about it?" Meng Yichen smiled modestly and said: "This potted plant is from a merchant. I bought it, but I don't know why." Qu Yi became a little interested, and said, "Really, is the merchant here today?" Meng Yichen lowered his head and said, "He's in the side hall." "Let him come in and tell him Let me explain." Qu Yi said, "Yes" Meng Yichen said with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

The little eunuch who had reported went out to invite someone, Meng Yichen returned to his seat, and Prime Minister Meng beside him lowered his head slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Chen'er, what are your plans?" Meng Yichen said softly: "Father, at this time the son is going back I'll explain to you later." At this moment, someone was toasting and laughing at Prime Minister Meng, and Prime Minister Meng could only meet with a smile, and put the matter aside for now.

Not long after, Li Dajian said to Qu Yi: "Your Majesty, the man is here." Qu Yi looked, and a slender figure walked in. It was obvious that the plain white clothes were worn by this person, but they looked elegant and retro. Looking at this person's face, it is so beautiful and coquettish, but his expression is as indifferent as ice. Qu Yi's hand that was carelessly shaking the wine glass suddenly stopped, Rong Yao Qiuju, Hua Mao Chunsong.It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind.

Qu Yi couldn't help showing a smile, drank the wine in the glass, and said in his heart: She is as graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming, what a cool and beautiful woman.

Wen Renmo saluted without looking sideways: "The grassroots pay homage to the emperor." Qu Yi said: "There is no need to be too polite, just get up." There was a strange look in Wen Renmo's eyes, why is this man's voice?Wen Renmo raised his head to look at the new emperor. It was a face so charming and charming, with a pair of flirtatious peach eyes, but the gorgeous and sharp aura made people dare not look directly at him. Wen Renmo lowered his head, with a hint of self-mockery, How could I have such absurd thoughts, it's just that the voice is similar, Qu Zefeng died long ago.

Qu Yi said to him: "I heard that you cultivated this flower, so tell me how you cultivated it?"

Wen Ren Mo said lightly: "This peony was originally white, and its roots were slowly taken out and soaked in various pigments, and after the buds gradually changed color, they were carried back to the soil, and then it became this kind of seven-color peony. The other things are sprayed with a little gold leaf water." After hearing Meng Yichen's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding, and when they understood the principle, the flower was not as surprised as before. Meng Yichen was not disappointed, and said gently: "Just now I’ll say it’s not a treasure, but it’s still a novelty, I just hope you can enjoy it.” Qu Yi said leisurely: “You have a heart, I like it very much.” Then he said to Wen Renmo: “You can have such a Linglong Qiaosi, very good, what's your name?" "Cao Min Wen Ren Mo." "Hmm~"

Li Dajian looked at Qu Yi's face, and said with a faint inspiration: "Your Majesty, since this person is a merchant, he must be good at arithmetic, and he is also ingenious. It's great that there is a lack of a post in the palace. Why don't you let him stay?" What next?" Qu Yi glanced at him, then looked at Wen Renmo naturally, and said in an unclear tone: "Wen Renmo, would you like to stay in the palace?" Wen Renmo nodded slightly, his expression still indifferent Said: "The grass people obey the emperor's orders."

Qu Yi said: "Okay, then I will make you the young mansion, and I will leave the property and other matters in the palace to you in the future. Don't let me down." "Yes" said Wen Renmo.
