Xu Qing glanced at the palace steward, shook his head and said, "Our couple's invitation was destroyed."
The steward of the palace smiled apologetically and said: "Look at what you said, what other invitations do you and Mrs. Xu need to come to the palace? It's so cold outside, I want to find a good seat for Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu."
Su Qian was a little surprised on the side. Logically speaking, she only brought Xu Qing once during the poetry festival. Where did Xu Qing get such a big reputation in the palace?
Xu Qing looked at Su Qian and asked, "Madam, should we go in or go home?"
Su Qian thought for a while and said in a soft voice: "Then go in."
Although it was not easy for Xu Qing to get used to the sound, Su Qian's voice was really nice!
Xu Qing nodded subconsciously and said, "Okay, let's go in first."
It's great, now you don't have to wait until tomorrow to beat someone up...You have to pay the price for being arrogant!
The steward of the palace led the way, and Xu Qing and Su Qian followed him. When they reached the door, someone stopped Xu Qing and said, "Master, please show me your invitation."
The steward of the palace slapped the man on the head: "You blind servant, this is Young Master Xu Qing. Do you need any invitations when Young Master Xu comes? Why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
When the servants at the door heard the word Xu Qing, their expressions changed, and they quickly bowed their heads and said: "Master Xu, please come quickly."
After Xu Qing and Su Qian came in, the palace steward smiled and flattered: "I met Mr. Xu from a distance at the palace poetry meeting that day. Mr. Xu's poems are the best in our Yongzhou City! Xiao
People are also deeply impressed by Mr. Xu’s literary talent.”
Xu Qing was also puzzled when he heard the words of the palace steward. A servant in the palace actually knew poetry? Is the threshold for people in Prince Xian's palace so high nowadays?
Could this be the legendary high-quality servant of Da Chu?
Of course, the manager's cultural level is only limited to knowing words... He can't understand poetry either, but even though he can't understand it, it doesn't hinder his level of flattery!
I am a friend of His Highness, the Prince, and I can talk to him. If I say a few nice words to him, if one day I say a few kind words to His Highness or the prince, wouldn't I be able to rise to great heights?
Su Qian felt strange when she heard the steward's words. Did this steward really admire Xu Qing because of Xu Qing's poems?
The palace steward led Xu Qing to an attic. There was a charcoal fire in the attic, but he didn't feel cold at all here.
Since today is the birthday banquet of the palace, there are no separate seats for men and women like at the poetry party. There are separate rooms in this attic, specially used to entertain distinguished guests, or those who are elderly and cannot bear it.
The wind blows, and I can’t listen to the noisy elders.
The steward of the palace also knew that Mr. Xu likes to be quiet. The last time he attended the poetry meeting, he sat in the most remote corner. This pavilion is the cleanest, and there are only one table, so no one else will come.
bothering.
The steward of the palace said: "Mr. Xu, this place is clean. No one will disturb Mr. Xu and his wife here. The prince can enjoy his meal in peace, while the servants will be busy."
Xu Qing nodded, and the steward of the palace withdrew.
After Su Qian sat down, she glanced at Xu Qing and said, "I didn't expect that the reputation of the most talented person in Yongzhou City would be so useful in Prince Xian's Mansion."
Xu Qing shook her head and said: "I didn't expect the servants of Prince Xian's Mansion to know poetry, but it seems that my wife won't be able to eat sweet and sour short ribs today."
Su Qian said: "Then we'll eat it tomorrow."
At this moment, hot dishes were served one after another by the maid's servants. One of the dishes made Xu Qing and Su Qian slightly stunned: "Sweet and sour short ribs?!"
Su Qian had always thought that only Xu Qing could cook sweet and sour spareribs. She had never found it on the menu at Guiyunlou, and she never expected that Wang Fu could also cook it.
Su Qian doubtfully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it. Although the taste was pretty good, it was undoubtedly far behind Xu Qing's craftsmanship.
Xu Qing was also very angry. The cook in Prince Xian's palace dared to steal his master!
…
On top of another tallest pavilion
King Xian sat on the seat, Princess Xian sat next to him, Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye knelt down and said in unison: "I wish my father a happy birthday!"
The wise king smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Xue'er Ye'er, get up quickly."
Xiao Ruxue jumped up and said: "Father, my daughter has prepared a birthday gift for father!"
Xiao Ye added: "No, it's the birthday gift prepared for you by Brother Xu, me and Xue'er together."
The Xian Wang was a little curious and said: "Oh? The three of you prepared it together? My father originally wanted to see what Xu Qing would give me, but I didn't expect that the three of you together gave me a birthday gift.
?Bring it up quickly and show it to your father."
Xiao Ruxue jumped in front of the wise king and handed over a booklet and said: "This is our birthday gift to our father!"
The Xian Wang took the book from Xiao Ruxue's hand and said with a smile, "Is this the book?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "This is the Art of War written by Xu Qing. You must have never seen it!"
The Art of War? The wise king couldn't help but feel amused. The Art of War was something that had been learned on the battlefield for many years! He, Xu Qing, had already gone to the limit in practicing the law, right?
Does he still want to write the art of war? Has he been on the battlefield? Does he know how many people there are in an army? Does he know the arrangement of military formations?
Isn’t this nonsense?!
I thought Xu Qing would give me a surprise on my birthday, but unexpectedly, she gave me such a deceptive thing.
art of war?
Is there anyone in Dachu who knows the art of war better than him?
Although he thought so, the Xian Wang still opened the art of war in his hand to look at it. In the past, Xu Qing had surprised him. This time, the Xian Wang wanted to find out how many common sense mistakes Xu Qing had in this so-called military book and ridicule him.
He once.
After opening the book, there are beautiful and handsome small regular script fonts, which makes people feel comfortable to read. This is written by my daughter, and the previous law is also written in this way.
"Soldiers who, deception also."
Just after reading the first sentence, King Xian suddenly had a bad premonition... His premonitions were usually very accurate. This time he had a premonition that his face would be very painful after a while, not physically, but mentally.
The pain...
Then the wise king's eyes began to scan one page, then the second page, the third page...
The more Xian Wang looked at it, the more shocked he became. Of course, his face also hurt more and more... it hurt so much!
Xianwang Lian looked away from the book, looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Xue'er, do you think this book was really written by Xu Qingsong as he said?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said: "It's the same as last time! Xu Qing and I spent five days!"
At this time, Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ye with confusion and said: "The three of them gave the gift to their father together. Xueer copied it and Xu Qing recited it... Then what did you do?"
