Chapter 2777 2779【Qu Shui Liu Shang】
"Since my uncle has arranged it like this, then Cheng Yin just obeys his orders." Xiang Nan nodded.
?? Zhao Jingyu is a master who has milk and mother, which also means that he will not be loyal to anyone. As long as he is given enough benefits, he can betray anyone.
This also means that the high minister cannot completely control him. As long as there are enough benefits, he may betray at any time. It is not a bad thing for Xiang Nan to have such a young man lurking in the high minister''s camp.
?Although such a person is shameless and unscrupulous, he is indeed a usable dog. After he ascends the throne in the future, he will need a villain to help him eradicate dissidents, attract hatred, and do things he wants to do but cannot do himself.
Just like Qin Hui before Gaozong and Yan Song before Jiajing, they were all black gloves who helped the emperor do dirty things.
?Seeing Xiang Nan agree, Gao Ming suddenly smiled with satisfaction.
…
A few days later, the annual garden party of Qinxiang Garden was held.
Xiang Nan specially invited Zhao Sese to come with him.
Zhao Sese was naturally very happy to receive Xiang Nan''s invitation and specially dressed up to attend.
"Your Highness~" She looked at Xiang Nandao shyly.
“Yes, this dress suits you very well.” Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
Zhao Sese was a beauty to begin with, and she became even more beautiful after dressing up.
“It’s good that Sese doesn’t embarrass His Highness.” Zhao Sese said modestly.
"How can it be embarrassing? When it comes to beauty, if Miss Zhao is ranked second in Shangjing City, no one dares to be ranked first." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "It''s an honor to have you by my side."
"Compared with the nine princesses of Xizhou, which one is more beautiful?" Zhao Sese asked with a smile after hearing this.
"She is the best in Xizhou, and you are the best in Beijing. Spring orchid, autumn and chrysanthemum, each is good at winning." Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do we have to distinguish ourselves?"
Zhao Sese nodded thoughtfully, and then went to Qinxiang Garden with Xiang Nan.
After arriving there, I saw Li Chengwen, Li Chengyuan, Li Chengye, Li Min and others also arriving one after another.
?Although several brothers were fighting for the position of prince, they almost broke up with each other, but on the surface they were still in harmony and behaved like brothers and sisters.
“Spring is beautiful today and the garden is full of fragrance. Why don’t we play ‘Qu Shui Liu Shang’.” Li Chengye suggested with a smile.
?The so-called meandering water drinker means taking a seat by the gurgling water, and writing poems when it''s their turn. If you fail to do it or do it illegally, you will be punished.
Since ancient times, it has been the most popular among literati.
“Okay, second brother.” Li Chengwen responded happily. He usually loves to write and write.
At this moment, I heard someone laugh and say, "Second brother, fifth brother~ Dear poetry immortals, are you lacking someone?"
Xiang Nan looked back and saw Yongning, Luo Xi and Qu Xiaofeng coming together.
?Qu Xiaofeng was also looking at Xiang Nan, and when they looked at him, her pretty face turned red and she looked happy.
He was about to step forward to say hello, but his eyes suddenly glanced at Zhao Sese standing next to him, and the smile immediately froze on his face.
It turns out that the reason why he stopped coming to see me these days was because he had found someone new.
Qu Xiaofeng''s mood seemed to have hit rock bottom instantly.
…
“You guys came just in time, now we are all here.” Li Chengye said with a smile.
"Ninth Princess has just come to Fengchao. Can she write poems?" Zhao Sese asked.
She noticed the inexplicable affection between Qu Xiaofeng and Xiang Nan, and felt a little sad in her heart.
"You''re the only one who can''t do it?" Yong Ning rolled his eyelids and lost his temper when he saw her saying this.
“It doesn’t matter, we will follow the rules, you can follow your own mood and make a rhyme.” Li Chengye said.
"Yes, yes, yes, you see, the second brother said so, you can play with us." Yongning encouraged with a smile, "If you really can''t do it, let the second brother take the punishment for you."
?Qu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously looked at Xiang Nan.
??If someone was punished on her behalf, she hoped that person would be Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan sighed, and then said with a smile, "Don''t worry, the Ninth Princess is a guest from afar, and we will let you go."
“Is it just because I’m a guest?” Qu Xiaofeng murmured in frustration.
Then everyone took their seats one by one. "Let''s set a topic. For the first round, the top question is scenery and weather, and the bottom question is plants and animals." Xiang Nan added.
Everyone nodded.
Subsequently, the meandering water drinking ceremony officially began.
Xiang Nan first poured a glass of wine and drank it, and then said loudly, "The late rain has begun to subside and it has become sunny~"
Place the jug on the tray and let it gurgling down the water.
The next person was Zhao Sese. She hooked the tray with a jade hook, took off the jug, poured a glass of wine, and chanted, "Buy a boat to visit the old Furong City~"
After chanting, she covered her face with her wide sleeves and drank the wine in one gulp.
??Then it was the turn of the third prince Li Chengwen. He thought for a moment and then chanted, "The high sail is hung diagonally in the color of the sunset~"
“You can’t hear the sound of pelicans when you row in a hurry~” Luo Xi then chanted.
“Swipe the water and climb the mountains~” Li Min followed and chanted.
“Koi fish compete with each other in the cupboard.” Princess Yongning chanted.
“The country does not grow old together with the people~” Li Chengye chanted.
??Finally it was Qu Xiaofeng''s turn. She was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head, thought hard, and finally said, "Mr. Fortune Teller... I''m just making random comments~"
?Seeing such an irregular and unorganized poem, everyone present laughed.
“Did I say something wrong?” When Qu Xiaofeng saw it, he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, “It’s okay, I’ll punish myself with a drink.”
After saying that, he punished himself with a drink.
…
"The Ninth Princess is really generous." Li Chengye smiled and said, "Fifth brother, what is the topic of the next round?"
"This round, we don''t distinguish between upper and lower lines. Every sentence contains a ''double'' or a ''right'' thing." Xiang Nan suggested.
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
Xiang Nan starts again, "The fireworks scenery is over~"
“Banyan Tower is still rumored here.” Zhao Sese chanted.
“Mandarin ducks are willing to forget the meaning of March.” Li Chengwen chanted.
“Children and daughters each take half their lives to worry about~” Luo Xi chanted.
“It’s hard to dance again because the Tuo is scattered~” Li Yin chanted.
“The lotuses are not only blooming but also waiting to be combined~” Yongning chanted.
“…” Li Chengye was about to recite.
At this moment, Qu Xiaofeng got out of order and rushed to say, "It''s not that enemies don''t get together~"
?Li Chengye was stunned for a moment, and everyone laughed.
“Ah, did I say something wrong again?” Qu Xiaofeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
“Enemies never get together” was the poem she remembered most, and it echoed the theme, so she said it right away.
She completely forgot that it was not her turn yet, and it was Li Chengye''s turn to speak.
“Yes, yes, this sentence means a lot.” Yongning said with a smile.
?Li Chengye sighed, "Okay, let''s get over here today. Don''t waste your time here. Let''s all go play."
Immediately, he got up and left first.
“Luoxi, Yongning, am I embarrassed again?” Qu Xiaofeng said embarrassedly.
"It doesn''t matter, this is just a game." Yongning waved his hand and reassured her.
“Yes, when Yongning first learned to compose poems, he was punished so many times.” Luo Xi also comforted him.
"These seven rhymes are indeed difficult to learn. When I was studying poetry at the age of six, it took me a full month to learn it. The ninth princess just came to the Toyo Dynasty. After a long time, I have been influenced by my ears and eyes, and I will naturally learn it." Zhao Sese stepped forward. road.
?It seems to be a way of comforting Qu Xiaofeng, but in fact it seems to be showing off.
