The banquet hall was very lively and people were swaying. Accompanied by the prefect An Rulong, the imperial regent Helian Wushuang appeared in casual clothes and immediately received a burst of warm applause.
The Regent was indeed as heroic as rumored. He was about forty years old, tall and handsome. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he could see the strong military camp atmosphere from his walking and sitting posture.
As the most powerful general of the empire and the regent who holds the highest authority, Helian Wushuang has a high status in the hearts of the people.
The applause of the nobles came from the heart and lasted for five minutes. It was not until the Regent waved his hand and stopped.
The banquet was named as a thank-you dinner for the visiting group of Dachu. The Regent did not make any speeches, and as soon as the applause stopped, he retreated to the corner of the banquet hall and went to chat with his old classmate Chen Fei.
The music sounded, and pairs of men and women danced on the dance floor, most of whom gathered together to chat in groups of three or three.
After chatting, their eyes were actually paying attention to the movements in the corner.
Among so many guests, there are very few who are truly qualified to say a few words to the Regent.
Most people could only stand aside from the side and look at Chen Fei, who was chatting and laughing with the Regent with envy.
Of course, Lee Hyun was not qualified to meet the Regent. Fortunately, the banquet was of high quality. Not only was the food first-class fresh and delicious, but the maids were even beautiful.
Li Xuanshu sat comfortably on the sofa, drinking wine while admiring these beautiful faces, and she didn't feel bored.
A black shadow suddenly enveloped behind him, which scared Li Xuan.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Lord Liu's round body as wine barrel.
"Why didn't you go and reminisce about the old days with the Regent?"
Li Xuan quickly stood up.
Li Xuan heard from Liu Cui that Lord Liu had followed the Regent to fight more than ten years ago, and was considered to be the few nobles in Fenglin City who could be related to the Regent.
Others want to get close to the Regent when they break their heads, but Lord Liu doesn't take this opportunity to find the Regent to reminisce about the past, which makes Li Xuan feel very strange.
Lord Liu showed a cheerful smile and said, "This is not a place for reminiscing. I have made an appointment with the Regent. When the banquet is over, he will go to my house for a drink."
Seeing the pride on Lord Liu's face, Li Xuan knew that the old man was showing off, but he knew that Lord Liu liked him very much, and even if he showed off, he had no malice. He smiled and said, "Do you need me to drink with me?"
?”
Lord Liu rolled his eyes and said, "You are not my son-in-law, what name do you go to drink with me?
Even if you are my son-in-law, there is no chance. The Regent doesn’t like drinking with strangers!”
Li Xuan shrugged and said, "Forget it, I don't care."
At this time, Li Xuan suddenly saw Bai Mengde.
Bai Mengde was wearing a white uniform and looked elegant and handsome. He walked straight towards the Regent, said a few words to Chen Fei, and then bowed to the Regent.
Then everyone could see clearly, and the Regent reached out and patted Bai Mengde's shoulder twice.
"Damn, what's the origin of this kid?"
Li Xuan widened her eyes.
Lord Liu knew what Li Xuan and Bai Mengde had made a bet, and saw this and said, "Don't you know that Bai Mengde is a descendant of the famous family in the Great Chu, and Chen Fei is his aunt!"
Li Xuan took a breath and narrowed her eyes slightly. This kid was the nephew of the Regent's old lover. Things were not good! Just as he was thinking, Bai Mengde, who was standing beside the Regent, was arrogant and arrogant.
When he started, his eyes swept through the banquet hall one by one, and soon fell on him.
Everyone in the banquet hall was paying attention to the young nobleman who was favored by the Regent. Seeing this, they followed Bai Mengde's gaze and saw Li Xuan who was a little depressed.
Some people who knew the inside story immediately understood that since they arrived in Fenglin City, Li Xuan, who has been extremely arrogant, is probably going to be defeated this time! Sure enough, Bai Mengde smiled and said a few words to the Regent, and the Regent's eyes also turned to
Li Xuan.
Everyone became nervous. What's wrong? The kids are fighting and ask the adults to come out to make trouble?
Not so! Even Lord Liu was shocked, only Li Xuan was expressionless and allowed the Regent's gaze to pass by.
In fact, Li Xuan was secretly complaining in his heart. If he had known that Bai Mengde had such a big backer, he would not have made any bets.
The art world of Yunteng Empire was trampled on. Why do I have to force myself to stand up if I am a person on earth? Li Xuan was regretting when he suddenly heard a heavy voice sounding in the banquet hall.
"Li Xuan, come here."
The audience was silent for a moment because the person who said this was the Regent! Lee Hyun thought he had heard it wrong, but the next second he saw the Regent wave to him, and then he was sure that he had called out.
Your own name.
With a tough tide, Li Xuan walked over and respectfully bowed to the Regent with the highest etiquette of the Yunteng Empire, saying, "Li Xuan, the imperial envoy in Fenglin City, pay homage to His Highness the Regent!"
"Call me Helian Wushuang."
The Regent's voice was low and powerful, with intoxicating magnetic properties.
If he were not a politician and a soldier, he would have achieved great success when singing.
This time, the Regent came to Fenglin City to make friends with him in his private identity, but even if he deliberately blurred the Regent's identity, others still dared not neglect them.
Li Xuan was not stupid either, and said with a bow: "As for your order, Your Highness."
The Regent's mouth raised slightly, and he no longer tried to correct it. He changed his subject and said, "I heard that you made a bet with Bai Mengde to write poetry in a game?"
"It was Mr. Bai Mengde who challenged me and I had no choice but to accept it."
Li Xuandao.
Bai Mengde rolled his eyelids. If it weren't for the regent being on the side, he would have sarcasticized him.
The Regent said lightly: "Bai Mengde is very talented, I know a little, but do you know poetry?"
"Understand."
Li Xuandao.
"Oh..." The Regent was silent for a few seconds, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he said, "I heard that you have all prepared your works, and you are waiting for Kang Hua to choose. If that's the case, let's just listen to Yunteng and Dachu in front of everyone tonight.
What do you think of the works written by outstanding young people from both countries?”
Who dares not to agree with the regent's proposal?
Besides, everyone likes to watch the fun. It is great to be able to witness the confrontation between Li Xuan and Bai Mengde with one's own eyes! However, most people are not optimistic about Li Xuan. Who made Bai Mengde a disciple of Kang Hua and Chen Fei's nephew?
Just by the two relationships, the chances of winning are 90%! Li Xuan and Bai Mengde have no objection, but in fact they cannot tolerate any objection. Soon the new poems collected this time were sent to the banquet hall to select from them.
The works of the two were published, and Kang Hua, who was a judge, also came to the regent.
