An aristocratic young man also wearing brocade clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly handsome, stood next to Meng Wenlun. When he saw Shao Guangyuan and Qin Yi walking over, he smiled and said, "Guangyuan, you are late."

Shao Guangyuan did not answer, but looked at Meng Wenlun and asked with admiration, "Xinji, is this the famous literary star of the world, Brother Meng Wenlun?"

Mr. Jinyi, the son of Tongzhi, Shi Xinji, smiled and said, "Yes, let me introduce you. Brother Meng, this is Shao Guangyuan, a descendant of the Shao family in Zhanjing."

Meng Wenlun turned around, held his head high and nodded lightly, "I've heard of you."

Shao Guangyuan was suddenly excited, "I am so humble and humble, but I am so lucky to be known by Brother Meng!"

Meng Wenlun smiled arrogantly and looked at Qin Yi. Shi Xinji also felt strange and asked, "Guangyuan, who is this?"

Shao Guangyuan introduced, "This is my good friend, Qin Yi, a student of Ce Academy."

Shi Xinji and Hou Linghua were good friends, and they were worried that saying that Qin Yi was the author of "Li Si" would cause Shi Xinji's displeasure, so Shao Guangyuan omitted this point.

After hearing this, Shi Xinji's smile became lighter and he nodded lightly.

Meng Wenlun was still smiling, but the smile became a little arrogant, like a giant elephant seeing an ant.

"Wen Lun, let's go in, that bottle of new flower wine is waiting for you to taste." Shi Xinji smiled at Meng Wenlun without saying anything to Qin Yiduo.

"Okay, then thank you Brother Shi for your hospitality."

While talking, the two of them turned around and walked towards the main hall, followed by a group of young men in brocade clothes.

"Brother Qin, let's go in too." Shao Guangyuan was still excited.

Qin Yi looked calm and nodded.

Entering the main hall, you will find that there are many tables and tables placed in the hollowed-out lobby, and some people are already sitting on the floor behind the tables.

At this time, they all stood up excitedly and respectfully, and greeted Meng Wenlun. There was another burst of noisy praise and flattery.

Qin Yi ignored it and continued to look around.

I saw a lot of cantaloupe palace lanterns placed next to the wall pillars, with orange candlelight shining in them. The light was slightly rippled by the breeze.

A purple lacquered three-legged incense burner was placed in the hall, and the light incense floated like smoke and dispersed in the surroundings with the wind.

As soon as he finished looking around, Qin Yi saw Jia Zhen walking over and said to Shao Guangyuan beside him, "Guangyuan, I asked and Ling Hua did not participate in this banquet."

Shao Guangyuan was a little surprised and asked quickly, "Why?"

Glancing at Qin Yi, Jia Zhen showed displeasure, "It is said that he studied hard in seclusion and wanted to create a popular poem to compare with someone."

After saying that, Jia Zhen snorted lightly, turned and left.

Shao Guangyuan smiled helplessly and said to Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, if Ling Hua doesn't come, I will help you resolve this grudge next time I have a chance."

Resolving grievances and so on was dispensable to Qin Yi, so he nodded calmly and didn't say much.

At this time, a young man came over and said, "Master Shao, please take a seat with me."

Shao Guangyuan nodded, "Brother Qin, please sit with me."

The young man interjected, "The young master has arranged the young master's position, please wait a moment."

In this case, Shao Guangyuan could only leave with the boy.

Qin Yi stood there, watching many young men in brocade clothes sitting behind the table, drinking wine and talking to each other.

Meng Wenlun was the protagonist of this banquet, and the guests must have been students from Fu Taixue, or children of powerful people, and he probably didn't know many of them.

"Master Qin, please come with me." The young man who had just taken away Shao Guangyuan came back and said to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded and followed the boy, all the way to the end of the lobby. There were three seats there, but no one was taking them at this time.

Pointing to one of the seats, the waiter said, "Master, please take a seat."

Qin Yi turned his head and realized that his seat was some distance away from other people. It could be said to be the most remote position in the lobby.

He couldn't help but squint.

But soon, I felt relieved.

That's okay, since we don't know each other anyway, it might be awkward if we sit close to each other.

He walked slowly and took his seat, and the waiter turned and left.

Although the location is remote, fortunately the salary has not been reduced. Not long after Qin Yi sat down, a waiter brought a wine pot, cups and a stack of candied fruits.

Hearing Shi Xinji talk about the new flower wine before, Qin Yi was a little curious, so he poured out some wine and found that it was just an ordinary product. Only a few people could taste such fine wine.

Immediately, he sipped the wine and ate the candied fruits, feeling very leisurely.

Suddenly, the fragrant wind came, and Qin Yi felt a little familiar. His heart moved. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman sitting gently beside him.

"What a coincidence." The voice was a little cold, but extremely pleasant, and you could faintly hear the joy mixed in it.

"Yes, what a coincidence." Qin Yi laughed.

Sitting next to him is Xuan Lingyao, a classmate of Mingxintang.

At this time, she was wearing a gorgeous moon-white dress, her figure was exquisite and her curves were moving.

That beautiful and refined face is smiling slightly, like a noble water lotus, and its clear eyes are glowing like autumn water.

Seeing this beautiful face, Qin Yi was a little curious, why did Xuan Lingyao also participate in this banquet?

But Xuan Lingyao didn't ask why he was here, why did he care so much, she smiled softly and chanted, "Everyone has been searching for her for thousands of times, but when she suddenly looked back, she was in the dim light."

Xuan Lingyao's beautiful eyes suddenly opened slightly, and a moving smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Then, the smile was filled with red clouds, and it was infinitely beautiful.

Seemingly ashamed, she lowered her head and pursed her red lips.

Qin Yi felt a little abrupt and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I just expressed my feelings. I didn't mean anything else. Please forgive me."

Xuan Lingyao raised her head and shook her head lightly, "It's very artistic."

She pressed her chin and nodded at Qin Yi's position, "Are you sitting here?"

Qin Yi nodded.

"Then let me sit here too." Xuan Lingyao said.

The young man who was leading the way just happened to pass by. Hearing Xuan Lingyao's words, he quickly said, "Miss Lingyao, the seat that the young master has arranged for you is up there."

After that, he pointed to the top of the lobby, near the main seat.

Qin Yi turned around and looked, secretly surprised.

Xuan Lingyao can sit in that position, so she obviously has an extraordinary status.

Why doesn’t anyone talk about it in Mingxintang?

Could it be that she rarely talks about her life so that none of her classmates know about it?

It's possible.

Xuan Lingyao shook her head slightly, "I'll just sit here. Could you please bring me my cup?"

Naturally, the young man did not dare to refuse the beauty's request. After a moment of silence, he nodded and walked quickly towards the hall.

Although Qin Yi was sitting at the end of the hall, she was not very far away from everyone. In addition, Xuan Lingyao was so beautiful that she attracted the attention of many young masters in brocade clothes. Therefore, when she moved, everyone looked over.

Seeing Xuan Lingyao sitting next to Qin Yi, many young men in brocade frowned, implying displeasure.

They knew that Shi Xinji, who was arranged to sit at the end of the hall, was obviously a man of ordinary family background. They had no interest in it at first, but now they all started to inquire and wanted to know who Qin Yi was, so that he could be so favored by Xuan Lingyao.
