After Shang Tianchen entered, he didn't say hello to anyone. He jumped up to a pavilion in the west and sat down. He strode on the chair, wielded a golden sword, picked up the wine bottle and poured wine directly into his mouth.
"This Shang Tianchen is really informal, I admire him." Li Qing saw the other party's actions, laughed and said.
At this moment, Shang Tianchen also looked over and raised his wine bottle to greet him from a distance. Li Qing's expression perked up and he also raised his wine bottle to greet him. Ling Jing and Tang Hao smiled bitterly and raised their glasses.
Shang Tianchen gave a thumbs up in the distance to the west, poured the wine bottle into his mouth and drank.
"Haha, this Shang Tianchen is interesting and I like it." Li Qing drank a bottle of wine and looked even more comfortable.
After that, "Wuji Dao" Liu Pinxi also entered the arena, bowed his hands to Tang Hao, and led people to a pavilion in the north, not far from Liu Wuxiang, Yi Xiaolou and others.
But Zhu Junmi, the majestic prince of Huai'an, took a seat on a pavilion in the south, looking at Ling Jing's face with doubts in his eyes.
"It's so strange. How come this person looks so similar to me? I need to ask Wan'er to come over and have a good look later."
At this moment, this Baihua Garden can be said to have gathered all the young talents in the capital. The seven top masters of the younger generation in the capital, except Han Yu, are all present. It can be said that this is a rare event in the capital in ten years.
Everyone was whispering and talking, but no one dared to talk to the top experts, which made these people more and more stand out from the crowd.
At this moment, from the garden gate at the east end, two rows of beautiful maids suddenly walked out, and a red carpet embroidered with gold was spread on the ground. White petals fell out of thin air, just like a sudden rain of flowers.
generally.
"Princess Jingchu is coming out."
Everyone could not help but straighten their expressions at this time. After all, the princess had a noble status, and the Fourteenth Princess was the most favored daughter of the Holy Emperor. No one in the room dared to be disrespectful to her.
Suddenly a pair of lotus feet stepped on the carpet, followed by a white skirt with stars dotted on it, and it was unknown what kind of fabric it was made of.
"Meet Princess!"
Everyone said in unison.
"Excuse me, everyone." A pleasant female voice sounded, which was as warm as the wind and rain on the lips.
Ling Jing raised his head and saw the face of the princess clearly. This girl was twenty-eight years old and had an extremely beautiful face. Her hands were like catkins, her skin was like gelatin, her collar was like a caterpillar grub, her teeth were like a gourd rhinoceros, and her head was like a moth's eyebrows.
A charming smile, beautiful eyes, and unparalleled elegance.
But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the face of this princess seemed very familiar.
"Where have I seen her before?" Ling Jing frowned slightly.
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind, and I thought: "Yes, there was a person secretly following me at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian. The face of that person was very similar to this princess. It seems that she must be Princess Jingchu.
Modified in disguise.”
He knew it in his heart, but his face remained calm. At this moment, he saw Princess Jingchu glanced at him with a vague smile, but she quickly passed by again.
"Did you see me?"
Princess Jingchu was served by several maids and went up to the highest pavilion in the east. The pavilion here was almost twice the size of other places and four or five feet higher. Sitting on it, she would naturally
It gives rise to a feeling of condescension.
"This Yinghua Banquet is already the fifth one initiated by this palace, and it is also the most prosperous banquet for the younger generation of masters. Jingchen would like to thank you all for your compliments and have a drink first."
She moved lightly and held an exquisite wine glass with her tender fingers. She gently covered her face with one hand and drank a glass.
"Princess is too kind."
"How dare you, how dare you."
Everyone did not dare to neglect and quickly drank a drink.
Ever since Princess Jingchu appeared, Yi Xiaolou had a very burning gaze in his eyes, staring at the princess's beautiful face almost for a moment.
"The Yinghua Banquet is held once a year and is designed to allow the young masters in the capital to teach their skills and improve together. This year will naturally be no different."
Yi Xiaolou laughed loudly, and his voice echoed in the garden. Everyone heard it clearly, and he said loudly: "The princess's words are reasonable. The capital is the place where the dragon veins of the Central Plains gather. Talents and heroes emerge in endlessly, and only
Only by competing with each other can we continuously improve our martial arts. If we just practice behind closed doors, our achievements will not be very high after all."
Princess Jingchu nodded her head lightly, her smile was like a hundred flowers in bloom, and she was delicate yet elegant, and said: "Master Yi Pavilion is a master of martial arts, so he can naturally see clearly."
Yi Xiaolou smiled slightly and looked at Princess Jingchun, the fascination in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Since the princess and Pavilion Master Yi have said so, I will come up first to ask for your advice!" A man suddenly jumped from the pavilion on the west, rose into the air, and landed steadily on the platform in the center of the lake.
Tang Hao glanced at the man and explained to Ling Jing: "The platform in the middle of the lake is the place where Yinghua Banquet teaches skills over the years. If whoever falls off the platform first or falls directly into the lake, that is
Lost."
Ling Jing nodded, and then heard Li Qing say: "I know this person. He is a master who stayed in the capital's nursing home from the governor of Henan."
Ling Jing knew that many of these local officials had real estate in the capital, or their families still stayed here, and it was inevitable that they would be protected by experts.
"So, most of the people on the high platform in the west are experts from the official houses of various parties."
Ling Jing's expression changed, and he finally saw some mystery.
"Xue Wuding, "Happy Knife", I'm here to meet you!" A man jumped from the pavilion on the north, with a figure like a strong wind and waves, and jumped into the platform in the middle of the lake with overwhelming force.
"This man is the youngest son of a civil servant. Haha, brother Ling, just prepare to watch the show." At this time, Tang Hao began to explain to Ling Jing: "In fact, the younger generation in the capital has always had
There are several circles. The masters in these local officials' houses have never been able to get along with us, and the relationship between the ministries and departments in the central government is also complicated, so that we, the children of aristocratic families, have become independent. This Yinghua Banquet is talking about
It sounds nicer, but it means that the famous disciples in the capital will be taught and trained in martial arts together. But in reality, various circles are fighting openly and secretly in order to win the favor of the princess, or in other words, the favor of the current emperor."
Ling Jing's thoughts turned rapidly and he sent a message: "Brother Tang, are you saying that this Yinghua Banquet is actually held by the current Saint, not the princess on the stage?"
Tang Hao smiled slightly and said slowly: "This is actually a secret among the capital. Otherwise, does Brother Ling think that a mere princess can make all the major families in the capital move?" (To be continued.
