"Haha, it seems that Brother Tai is so happy that he has not yet fully awakened."

At this moment, Long Aotian pursed his lips and smiled, feeling a little graceful and graceful. He waved his hand gently: "Come here, come and serve a few glasses of soul-awakening wine to make him sober again..."

The group of people next to him cooperated naturally and the fragrant wine immediately brought it over. The mellow wine entered his throat. Qi Xiang was not affected by the influence of the wine, and his mind gradually became confused. Unexpectedly, he fell to the ground with a bang.

In a daze, he seemed to see a woman with bright eyes and white teeth, as beautiful as a fairy, who had been taking care of herself. He wanted to open it and see it clearly, but he felt dizzy and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a magnificent hall.

At this moment, a banquet was being held in the hall, and he sat high in the front row. In front of him were a few middle-aged men with white faces and long beards and wearing scarlet official robes.

Behind him were dozens of elegant young men. At this time, a group of young men sang loudly on the chords, and cheerful and loud voices echoed between the halls.

"Yoyou deer sings, eats wild apples. I have guests, who play zither and flute."

“…………….”

"Yoyou deer sings, eats artemisia in the wild. I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao."

“…………….”

"Yoyou deer sings, eat wild scutellaria. I have guests, playing zither and zither."

“…………….”

Elegant poetry is full of quaint charm.

Qi Xiang listened for a moment and suddenly realized that this was a Lu Ming Banquet.

The Lu Ming Banquet is a kind of banquet stipulated in the imperial examination system. It is usually the day after the provincial examination was released. New imperial examination candidates and internal and external curtain officials are invited, and the Lu Ming chapter in the Book of Songs is called the Lu Ming Banquet.

The content of the Psalm refers to the young deer who finds delicious food and never forgets her partner, and makes a cry to greet her likes to eat together.

The ancients believed that this move was a virtue. It had the spirit of a gentleman, so they followed the emperor. The emperor feasted on the ministers, local officials feasted on colleagues, local juren and local gentry, and used this move to win people's hearts and show that they were respectful to the wise and humble.

Being able to attend the Lu Ming Banquet means that you have passed the imperial examination?

Qi Xiang was in a daze and was admitted to Xiao Sanyuan's first test. Not long after he passed the exam?

"Brother Jie Yuan, what are you thinking?"

Unpredictable, there was a quiet voice behind it.

Qi Xiang quickly looked back and saw Long Aotian picking up a cup and saying with a smile: "Brother, after entering the palace for a year, he participated in the autumn examination and took the lead and won the position of Jie Yuan. It is admirable."

"Xie Yuan?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised: "I am Jie Yuan?"

"This is natural." Long Aotian chuckled: "It seems that I will change my words in the future, and I will call you Brother Jie Yuan."

"Brother Long, you laughed at me again." Qi Xiang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I, Jie Yuan, came in a bit inexplicable..."

"Nonsense, you are being underestimated again." Long Aotian frowned and said, "Your poetry is unparalleled, which has alarmed a state and is famous throughout the Jiangnan region. Even in the north, your poems will be circulated."

"After or later, the name of the King of Poetry will be famous all over the world. You Jie Yuan, everyone will be convinced, and no one can say a word."

Long Aotian was very happy: "And the adults just said that with your literary talent, as long as you study hard, you will go to Beijing for the next year to take the exam. It will not be a problem to pass the Jinshi. If you are lucky, you may be appointed as the top scorer by the emperor."

"The top scholar?" Qi Xiang smiled and didn't dare to think: "I'll accept your good words."

"You will definitely succeed." Long Aotian encouraged him, but there was a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes: "What a pity, my father at home sent me a letter urging me to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to Beijing next year."

"What?" Qi Xiang was a little anxious: "You won't go?"

Seeing Qi Xiang’s anxiousness, Long Aotian’s smile warmed and his eyes were bright: “There’s no way, I’ve been out for two years. My parents at home miss and worry. If they don’t go back, they should be angry.”

"This is also true. My parents are here, so it is indeed not suitable to travel far away." Qi Xiang sighed helplessly and expressed his understanding.

Long Aotian nodded slightly, and his emotions were also a little depressed: "Brother, we will not know when we will meet again in the future. I hope you don't forget me... this friend."

"Brother Long, you and I are confidants, how can we forget each other?" Qi Xiang smiled and said, "By the way, where is your family? When I come back from the capital, I will go to find you to meet you regardless of whether I have high school or not."

"One word is certain!"

Long Aotian stretched his eyebrows and was very happy: "This is what you said, don't forget it."

"I will definitely not forget."

Qi Xiang nodded solemnly: "A gentleman will never regret a word."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Long Aotian smiled and then took out a brocade box in his arms and told me carefully: "My home is on the shore of Daze Lake. After you arrive, take this token and find someone to inquire about Longjiazhuang and you can see me."

"Token?"

Qi Xiang opened the box and saw that there was a very exquisite conch in the box. The palm-sized conch has a hard and fine texture, and a crystal-clear luster on the surface, which looks very precious.

Qi Xiang was watching the conch intent intent, and vaguely felt that the conch seemed a bit familiar.

"Hey, Master Huiyuan, what are you looking at?"

The crisp sound also made Qi Xiang come back to her senses.

This is the capital city, the most prosperous and lively place in the world. The city towers are lined with guests, and the crowds are bustling with people. Countless merchant ships shuttle and come, with a collection of literary styles and a stunning life.

He went to Beijing to take the exam. After some twists and turns, he stepped on many people and slapped many people in the face. He successfully participated in the exam. He finally won the championship and became the first place in the exam, Huiyuan.

Winning five yuan in a row is not only a huge honor, but also a great reputation. Now, in the capital, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone is speculating whether he can complete the feat of winning six yuan in a row.

This naturally brought him a lot of trouble, but he made many friends because of this. Among them, the closest friends are the young boy who is walking around now.

Seeing this person, Qi Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Yingtai..."

Qi Xiang said hello and smelled a faint fragrance, which was the gentle fragrance of his daughter. He was not stupid, so he could naturally see it. The young man in front of him had white skin and tender skin, and his fingers were slender. He was as soft as boneless.

Even if it is tied into a bun, it cannot cover up the slenderness and softness. In addition, there are faint traces of powder on the pretty little face, which is even more obvious.

The voice was crisp and gentle. If you couldn't tell that the other person was a woman, Qi Xiang felt that his eyes should be dug out and thrown away. Anyway, it would be useless to keep them.

However, when he thought of the other party's name as Yingtai, Qi Xiang also felt strange that he was not called Shanbo.

"Master Huiyuan, you're about to have a palace examination."

The boy with Yichai and bian walked over with a smile and said intimately: "Are you ready?"

"What are you preparing for?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised. After all, he had passed the imperial examination, and the next palace examination was nothing more than a formality. Even if his grades were not good, he was a Jinshi.

"Pretending to be stupid, of course I will be the top scorer in the exam." The young man's pretty face was a little red, as if he was a little shy: "I have heard that this time, there is insider information."

"What inside story?" Qi Xiang was surprised and did not doubt it. After all, he also felt that the young man Jia, who was dressed as a man, had a noble background and an extraordinary family background. It was not uncommon to know some inside story.

The young man pulled the corner of his clothes with his little hand down and lowered his head and said, "I heard... under the emperor's knees, there is a princess who is about to marry at the right age. If anyone wins the top scorer, he has a good chance, Shang's son-in-law."

"Shang Prince Consort?" Qi Xiang was stunned.

"Yes." The young man smirked. His little hand patted his shoulder and exclaimed: "Master Huiyuan. You have to work hard. I like you. Maybe in a few days, I should change my words and call you the prince consort..."

The boy left a string of crisp laughter like silver laughter, and then disappeared.

Qi Xiang shook her head, and suddenly shook her eyes and changed the scene. He was assured and sat cross-legged in a magnificent palace. In front of him were high-ranking officials and powerful people, and on the side were new Jinshi.

"The Emperor is here."

Suddenly, a eunuch shouted, and a sharp and harsh voice spread, which made everyone hurriedly bow their heads to welcome the car.

"The Lords are calm."

The emperor was a very heroic middle-aged man. He had been ascending the throne for five or six years. Through the means of both kindness and power, he firmly seized power, making all civil and military officials respect and fear.

From this perspective, the emperor is not a foolish monarch, but also a blessing for many people.

"Today is the Qionglin Banquet, everyone doesn't have to be restrained."

The emperor was sitting in the seat with a calm and gentle voice: "Where is the top scholar?"

"I am here..."

At the reminder of a little eunuch, Qi Xiang quickly stood up, saluted alone, shouting long live.

"Haha, my six top scorers are indeed very heroic, no wonder..."

The emperor glanced at it and immediately smiled and said, "Zhuang Yuan Gong, can you marry me?"

"Ah..." Qi Xiang was stunned and shook her head subconsciously.

The emperor laughed again, and his attitude became more and more amiable: "I have a daughter who is similar to you. Can you be betrothed to you?"

For a moment, there was an uproar at the Qionglin banquet.

Many people shuttled and penetrated Qi Xiang with envious and jealous eyes.

On the wedding night and the golden list, this is the biggest joy in life. What's more, Princess Shang and being the son-in-law is simply the winner in life.

Qi Xiang was a little confused and couldn't help but look up. Behind the emperor, he saw a familiar figure among a group of pretty palace maids, but the handsome boy named Yingtai.

However, at this time, the boy had already put on red makeup and dressed in gorgeous palace clothes. His temperament was very noble. Against the backdrop of jewelry and jade decoration, she looked unparalleled.

The two of them were in contact with each other, and the girl lowered her head shyly, and a red light from the warm skin of the snow was faintly revealed.

In an instant, Qi Xiang's eyes were blurred and his mind was dazed. He heard the emperor's question in his ears: "What do you think?"

"minister……"

After a while, Qi Xiang came back to her senses and made a difficult choice. She pressed her head against the ground and said in a stern voice: "I am not blessed and destined, so I am afraid I can't bear the great kindness of the emperor..."

"What did you say?"

The scene was silent, only the emperor's thunderous anger echoed: "Hmph, I don't know how to lift up!"

"I am guilty of death!"

"You deserve to die. Come on, drag him out and kill him!"
