There was silence in the main hall for a moment.

Nangong Yang suddenly turned his head and called to the side: "Wei Qi."

Eunuch Wei immediately bowed his head and said, "My servant is here."

Nangong Yang handed over the unicorn jade in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Give this jade to Luo Qing, he won it."

"yes!"

Wei Qi took the unicorn jade respectfully with both hands.

Immediately, he lowered his head, walked down the steps, and handed it to the young man. He glanced at the young man in front of him with his gray eyes, and suddenly whispered: "Master Luo, where did you bury the little girl named Hua Gu?

Yes? Remember that night, our family brought her into the palace."

Luo Qingzhou's extended hand paused for a moment, then slapped him hard on the face.

This loud slap not only stunned Eunuch Wei, but also everyone else in the hall was shocked.

When everyone's faces were full of shock and confusion, Luo Qingzhou said with a cold face: "Eunuch Wei, above this hall, your majesty is here, the queen mother is here, all the courtiers, sect masters, and distinguished guests are here, you are a mutilated person.

Who has the right to scold me! You can scold me if you want. Why are you sneaking up in front of me and scolding me in a low voice? This piece of unicorn jade was obtained by my own ability. His Majesty personally promised to give it to me. Do you feel dissatisfied?

? Who gave you the courage to say dirty words here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Eunuch Wei who was covering his cheek.

Wei Qi immediately said angrily: "Our family doesn't have..."

"Then what were you secretly saying to me just now?"

Luo Qingzhou was upright and asked sternly.

Then he added: "What can't you say in this hall? Do you want to hide it from His Majesty, the Queen Mother, or other courtiers and distinguished guests from various countries?"

Wei Qi's face was gloomy and he was about to speak. At this time, Duan Wang Nangong Ke, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said: "I can testify that Eunuch Wei was indeed talking secretly just now. I thought he was explaining something on behalf of your majesty.

, who knew, it turned out to be dirty words!"

At this time, Master Yun Shang, the master of Qingyun Temple, who was sitting not far away, also said: "I also saw that Eunuch Wei was talking in a low voice just now."

Fairy Zixia from Lingxiao Sect also said: "I saw it too."

At this time, even Prince Gray of the Mongolian Empire also gloated: "I am very curious about what Eunuch Wei scolded. Eunuch Wei, can you tell us so that we can hear the excitement?"

When Wei Qi saw something was wrong and saw His Majesty's face darkening, he immediately made a "pop" sound and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and saying nothing.

Nangong Yang said with a cold face: "Apologise to Luo Qing and get out!"

Wei Qi immediately turned around, kowtowed to the young man in front of him and said: "Master Luo, it's wrong for me to be a slave. I'm a slave with a bad mouth. Your Excellency doesn't remember the faults of others."

"roll."

Luo Qingzhou said calmly, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the image of that delicate figure involuntarily emerged in his mind, the scene of his death that night.

Wei Qi immediately stood up, lowered his head and hurried out of the hall.

Nangong Yang didn't look at him twice. From the beginning to the end, his eyes were fixed on the young man who had been protected by everyone.

In the main hall, silence fell again.

At this time, from behind the bead curtain, the Queen Mother's voice came: "Your Majesty, let's start the second round. There is no need to spoil everyone's mood over this trivial matter."

A smile immediately appeared on Nangong Yang's face, and he said: "What the Queen said is true. It's really just a trivial matter. For those disobedient dog slaves, I will just kill them when the banquet is over. There is no need to be in a bad mood now."

"

As he said that, he looked at the princes Gray and Larmore, picked up the wine glass, raised his glass to the people of the five major sects, and said with a smile: "Come on, let me toast you all again."

Everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

The abbot of Jinchan Temple did not come, only a few elders came, and they all knew Luo Qingzhou.

At this time, they had tea instead of wine, and neither of them spoke.

After everyone had finished drinking, Nangong Yang said with a smile: "Prince Gray, how about you answer the second question?"

When Prince Gray heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he thought for a while and said in a rough voice: "I am a vulgar martial arts practitioner. I am not as good as those literati who can pretend and say whatever they think. I am here today for the eldest princess of your country. I have heard about your country."

The eldest princess is not only extremely capable, but also as beautiful as a flower. Therefore, the second question will be titled "Beauty". What do you think, Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a moment.

Nangong Yang said with a smile: "Very good. Love between a man and a woman is human nature. Ancient scholars and even emperors have written many poems with this title. So there is nothing wrong with the title of Prince Gray."

Upon hearing this, Gray immediately turned his head, looked at Su Tu behind him, and said coldly: "Is it okay?"

Su Tu whispered: "I already have a draft."

Gray suddenly felt happy, turned around, looked at the others and said: "Okay, let's take "Beauty" as the title. This time, you go first!"

The literati immediately began to frown and think.

With "Beauty" as the theme, poems, songs, and poems can all be used. It is naturally not difficult for these top talents. But above the court, in full view of everyone, there are the Queen Mother and the eldest princess listening in the back room.

, the work naturally cannot be too casual and frivolous, it must be carefully considered and polished, so as not to make people laugh and offend noble people.

Nangong Yang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, let's drink first, eat the food first, and wait for them."

Everyone had been standing outside for most of the day, and they were already hungry. After hearing this, they all picked up their wine glasses and drank, then lowered their heads to eat the exquisite dishes on the table.

Nangong Xiaorui sat next to Prince Duan, holding a pig's trotter in her hand and chewing it with relish. After taking a few bites, she turned her head, puffed her cheeks and looked at the young man behind her, and said vaguely: "

Luo Qingzhou, are you hungry? Do you want a bite?"

After saying that, he opened his small mouth and motioned for him to come over and continue.

Prince Duan on the side immediately turned her head away.

Nangong Xiaorui took a few bites, then lost interest. She stuffed the pig's trotters into Prince Duan's plate and said, "Father, you eat it."

Not only did Prince Duan not dislike her, he also said with a smile on his face: "My good daughter is so kind to my father."

Unexpectedly, when he was about to reach out to take it, Nangong Xiaorui suddenly snatched it away and put it on his plate. She glanced at him and said, "You think so beautifully! There is my saliva on it, and only my future husband can do it."

Eat, hum.”

After that, she ignored him and started eating the roast chicken again.

Prince Duan chuckled and continued to laugh with him. He was not angry. He just turned his head and looked behind her while she was eating. He scolded in a low voice: "Boy, stay away from me!"

When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he took a few steps back.

With the topic of "Beauty", he naturally had some ideas in mind, and the first thing that came to his mind was Miss Qin's unparalleled figure and appearance.

I still remember the first time I met Miss Qin. I was boating in the lake, with rippling blue waves, green lotus and red lotus root, dressed in a white dress, like a fairy descending to earth...

Thinking about that scene now, it was still vivid in his mind, so clear that it made his heart waver.

While he was in a daze, Bai Ling was standing behind Nangong Meijiao, looking at him quietly, as if the moonlight was shining in his clear and deep eyes.

At this moment, Nangong Yang suddenly said: "Luo Qing, this time, you come first."

After Luo Qingzhou heard this, he came back to his senses, looked at him, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Do you have a draft?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "Already."

Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Read it."

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment.

At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to him.

Gray immediately sneered and said: "If you write that kind of non-rhyme poetry again this time, I will never recognize it again!"

Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said: "The following article is not a poem, but a short rhyme."

Gray was stunned for a moment and said: "What is short fu?"

At this time, Su Tu behind him whispered: "This is a very ancient genre here. It is similar to the free poetry and prose of the Badan Kingdom. It pays attention to rhetoric and rhythm, and is mostly composed of neat sentences with parallelism and parallelism.

Can be recited, no restrictions..."

"Okay, okay! This prince knows!"

Gray was confused when he heard this and interrupted him impatiently. He looked at the other side with cold eyes and said, "Read it!"

In the main hall, silence suddenly fell.

Behind the bead curtain, a figure in a red dress was also looking quietly outside.

Outside the main hall, the noisy voices gradually became silent because of the silence inside the hall.

Immediately, a voice sounded.

"I once fell into a dream and mistakenly entered a cave. I saw all the darkness and tasted all the cold and warmth. One day, I suddenly reached the ninth heaven..."

"Then I moved my mind and was horrified, and suddenly my thoughts were scattered. I looked down without noticing, but looked up to take a closer look. I saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the palace..."

"In its shape, the white clothes are like snow, the skirt is like a butterfly, graceful like a startling giant, and graceful like a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the gorgeous spring pines are like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind.
