Chapter 670

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 Qilin 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? Remember? It was our family that brought her into the palace that night."

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 someone? Me! You can scold me if you want, so 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 merit and was given to me by His Majesty. Do you feel dissatisfied with who gave it to you? How dare you 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 telling me just now?"

Luo Qingzhou asked sternly with an upright attitude.

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 His Majesty. , who knew it was actually a dirty word!"

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, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed silently.

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 my fault that I'm a slave. I'm a mean-mouthed slave. 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 fragile figure appeared in his mind involuntarily, the scene of the fragrant death of the jade that night.

Wei Qi immediately stood up, bowed 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 game. 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 small matter. For that kind of disobedient dog slave, I will just kill him when the banquet is over. There is no need to be in a bad mood now." "

After saying that, he looked at 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?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Gray 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 at pretending as the literati. I just say whatever I think. I am here today for the eldest princess of your country. I have heard about your country." The eldest princess is not only very capable, but also as beautiful as a flower, so 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 smiled and said, "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 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 the theme of "Beauty", all poems, lyrics and songs can 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. Naturally, the work 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 first, and wait for them."

Everyone had been standing outside for most of the day and was already hungry. 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, chewing it with relish. After a few bites, she turned her head and looked at the young man behind her with puffed cheeks, and said incoherently: "Luo Qingzhou, are you hungry? Do you want a bite?"

After saying that, she opened her little mouth and motioned him to come over and continue.

Prince Duan on the side immediately turned her head away.

Nangong Xiaorui nibbled a few times, then lost interest. She stuffed the pig's trotter in her hand into Prince Duan's plate and said, "Father, you nibble on it."

Prince Duan not only did not dislike it, but also smiled and said, "My good daughter is so good to you."

Who knew that when he was about to reach out to take it, Nangong Xiaorui suddenly snatched it away and put it on her own plate, glancing at him and said, "You wish! There is my saliva on it, and only my future husband can eat it, hum."

After that, she ignored him and nibbled on the roast chicken again.

Prince Duan smiled and continued to smile. He was not angry. He just turned his head and looked behind her while she was eating, and whispered, "Boy, stand away from me!"

Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou took a few steps back.

With "Beauty" as the topic, he naturally had a draft 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, she was boating in the lake, the water was rippling, the lotus was green and the lotus was red, she was wearing a white dress, like a fairy descending from heaven...

Thinking of that scene now, it is still vivid and clear, which makes his heart ripple.

While he was in a daze, Bailing was standing behind Nangong Meijiao, looking at him quietly, with moonlight flickering in her clear and deep eyes.

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

Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou came back to his senses, looked at him, and bowed his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

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

Luo Qingzhou said, "Yes."

Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Read it."

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on him.

Gray sneered and said, "If you write that kind of unrhymed poem again this time, this prince will not recognize it again!"

Luo Qingzhou looked at him and said, "This article is not a poem, but a short fu."

Gray was stunned for a moment and said, "What is a 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 Badan. It pays attention to rhetoric and rhythm. It is mostly composed of parallel and parallel sentences. It can only be recited, without restrictions..."

"Okay, okay! This prince knows!"

Gray was confused and interrupted him impatiently. He looked at the opposite side with a cold look and said, "You read it!"

The hall was suddenly silent.

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

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

Then, a voice sounded.

"I once dreamed that I entered a cave by mistake, saw all the darkness, experienced all the cold and warmth, and one day, I suddenly went up to the ninth heaven..."

"So my spirit was moved and my mind was shocked, and my thoughts were scattered. I didn't notice it when I looked down, but I saw it differently when I looked up. I saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the palace..."

"Her figure was white clothes like snow, her skirt was like a butterfly, she was as graceful as a startled wild goose, and as gentle as a swimming dragon. She was as glorious as autumn chrysanthemums and luxuriant as spring pines. She was like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like snow blown by the wind. Looking at her from a distance, she was as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow; looking closely, she was as bright as a lotus emerging from the green waves..."

As soon as this paragraph came out, the whole hall was suddenly silent.

Those talented scholars held their breath.

Li Zhao from the Hanlin Academy even listened while writing down the words on the table with his fingers excitedly, as if he wanted to engrave it in his mind...

When Luo Qingzhou recited the phrase "white clothes like snow", the moonlight in Bailing's eyes became brighter.

Nangong Meijiao, who was standing by, looked at him with resentment, and slowly clenched her fist in her sleeve.

Linghu Qingzhu, who was wearing a green dress opposite him, lowered her head slightly with a complicated expression, still listening, but her thoughts flew to who knows where.

"The body is as swift as a flying duck, and as erratic as a god. The steps are light, and the silk socks are covered with dust. The movements are unpredictable, as if in danger or safety; the advance and retreat are difficult, as if going back or going back. The eyes are full of spirit, and the face is smooth and jade-like. The words are not spoken, and the breath is like the faint orchid. The beautiful and graceful appearance makes me forget to eat..."

When Luo Qingzhou stopped reciting, the whole hall was still silent.

At this moment, everyone seemed to be still immersed in the wonderful picture he had just described. In their minds, the figure of the beautiful woman was lingering...

"What's going on?"

At this time, Gray, who didn't understand at all, suddenly broke the silence with a rough voice.

Then he turned his head and looked at Su Tu behind him, saying, "Is this kid writing well?"

Su Tu slowly came back to his senses, and was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Excellent."

He could no longer find other words to describe this masterpiece that would surely be passed down through the ages!

Gray immediately frowned and said, "Can yours beat his?"

Su Tu immediately lowered his head and said with shame on his face: "Compared with this, my work is like dung to fine wine, like candlelight to moonlight. There is no comparison at all. Your Highness, we lost this round..."

Gray was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly darkened, and he cursed in a low voice: "Trash!"

Su Tu lowered his head and plucked up the courage to say, "Your Highness, this person is a man of extraordinary talent and literary talent. We'd better... let's admit defeat..."

"you!"

Gray's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to give him a slap. He also thought that this was not his territory, and there were people from other countries watching, so he had to endure it, and gritted his teeth and cursed again: "Trash! What bullshit, Dameng No. 1 You are so talented that you can't even compare to a random scholar. You have completely embarrassed me!"

Su Tu crescent moon lowered his head without saying a word, his mind still buzzing, involuntarily imagining that figure in white clothes like snow, fluttering like a fairy.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Indescribably wonderful! Extremely wonderful! So wonderful!"

At this time, the prince of Gao Qi State clapped his hands with great excitement, stood up from his seat with a flushed face, and walked around in front, repeating the passages just now in his mouth. The more he read, the more excited he became. He seemed to be about to Like crazy.

Li Zhao from the Hanlin Academy was also immersed in his own world, gesturing with his fingers on the table and mumbling to himself.

The talented people from Jiangnan and Yujing were all impressed by this gorgeous and wonderful short poem, and their faces were full of aftertaste.

Even Prince Duan couldn't help but marvel.

Nangong Xiaorui, who was sitting next to him, pouted and said, "What, isn't it just a big pervert who drooled after seeing a beautiful woman and sighed like a toad wants to eat swan meat? Look at it. You are all bluffing."

Prince Duan was stunned when he heard this, frowned and thought carefully, it was really like this, he immediately slapped his thigh and praised: "My daughter is still a genius!"

There was suddenly some confusion in the main hall.

At this time, the prince of Loulan Kingdom suddenly raised his hand and said: "Master Luo, is the beauty described in this article really what you saw in your dream, or is it your wild imagination?"

Luo Qingzhou paused, cupped his hands and replied, "I saw it in my dream."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the scholars showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

Even if we can meet such a peerless beauty in a dream, this life is enough.

At this time, Luo Shang, the sect master of Xianyun Pavilion, suddenly said: "I have seen such a beauty."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked over.

The prince of Gao Qi suddenly became extremely excited and said, "Sect Master Luo, have you really seen it? Where have you seen it? Who is it?"

Luo Qingzhou also looked over.

Luo Shang paused, and said with a proud face: "My Saint of Xianyun Pavilion is exactly what Mr. Luo just described in his article."

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

When everyone heard this, they were all dubious.

When others wanted to ask, Nangong Yang suddenly laughed and said: "It's just a fictional article, why should anyone take it seriously? Even if there is such a unique beauty in this world, it is not in this world, but in the fairy palace." Okay, Luo Qing has finished reading, where are the others?"

There was silence in the hall.

The princes of Gao Qi and Loulan simply admitted defeat and were convinced.

The princes of Badan and Beicang, after saying a few words to the talented man behind them, also gave up with ugly faces.

In this case, there is no need to continue the comparison.

Nangong Yang looked at the young man in the audience and said with a smile: "It seems that my royal sister doesn't have to come out to meet guests. Luo Qing, you have done the most great job. How do you want your royal sister to reward you? Just say, the royal sister is behind you Listen."

Luo Qingzhou glanced at him, then looked behind the bead curtain, bowed his hands and said, "I hope Your Highness will never forget his original intention."

Behind the bead curtain, there was silence for several breaths.

Immediately, the red figure slowly stood up and said calmly: "Master Luo, since you have won, come in. I will have a few drinks with you in the garden behind and let's talk by the way."

As soon as these words came out, Gray and the others in the hall suddenly turned jealous.

Nangong Yang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, still kept a smile on his face, looking at the young man in the audience without saying a word.

Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate and walked straight to the back room in full view of everyone.

The muscles at the corners of Nangong Yang's eyes suddenly twitched.
