In the back garden, the people waiting for the start of the competition seemed to be divided into several camps, Ao Wuchang and Linghu on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty stood in front of the pavilion, Li Jiancheng and Duguce and others on behalf of the Great Sui stood not far away, and both sides looked at each other from time to time while communicating with their companions, obviously seeing each other as the biggest enemy.

Duan Yu and Qiao Feng stood in the corner, the two of them were the only ones in the back garden who did not have a nervous and panicked face, but still had a smile on their faces. Rather than attending a contest to recruit relatives, the two of them felt more like a brotherhood.

Linghu Chao laughed softly: "I didn't expect that Nameless would be the four of you here, what about Ximen melon?" Why didn't he come? ”

Dongfang Weiming smiled and said, "I also thought I could see him here, maybe he didn't want to come after receiving an invitation." Boss, he's not like us after all. ”

Linghu immediately remembered the girls who appeared next to Richard, Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Shi Qingxuan... He sighed, pouted with envy and jealousy, "Yes, it's different." ”

In addition to envy, Linghu was also relieved in his heart, Richard did not come, which was equivalent to missing one of his biggest competitors. Otherwise, who can compare to him? Although his strength has skyrocketed now, even if he is arrogant and impermanent, he dares to break his wrists with them. But Richard, he still has no bottom in his heart.

After waiting for about half an hour, Richard, with a mask on his face, came to the back garden and said to everyone: "You have been waiting for a long time, the princess asked me to invite you." Please come with me. ”

With that, Richard turned and walked towards the back of the back garden. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed, and the group passed through the imperial garden, and saw a corner of the tower exposed in the shade of flowers and trees from a distance, and picked out two palace lamps by the pavilion, Richard guided everyone to the front of the pavilion, and said loudly: "The guests from all over the world come to meet the princess." ”

The door of the pavilion opened, and four palace maids carrying light gauze lanterns walked out of it, followed by a female official in purple clothes, and said: "Everyone has worked hard from afar, and the princess invites you to come to Qingfeng Pavilion for tea." ”

Prince Zongzan, who was standing at the forefront, smiled and said, "Very good, very good, I just started my hand and happened to be thirsty." It's not hard to say it's hard, what's the hard work of walking a few more steps to see the princess? Not hard, not hard, haha, haha. ”

In the midst of laughter, Zong Zan stepped forward and walked directly past the female official and walked into the Qingfeng Pavilion. Duan Yu, who was standing in the back, frowned when he saw this scene, and whispered to Qiao Feng beside him: "Big brother, this Prince Zongzan is so rude." ”

"I'm used to flying and domineering on weekdays."

Qiao Feng smiled, and waited until everyone had gone in before he walked forward with Duan Yu and Duan Yu into the pavilion with their heads held high.

I saw that the space in the pavilion was wide, like a huge hall. On the ground is a palm-thick wool carpet with colorful flowers woven on it. Small coffee tables are arranged in rows, and there are blue and white bowls on them, and next to each bowl is a blue and white plate, which is filled with cheese, cakes and other four-color snacks.

At the very front of the hall was a high platform about three feet above the ground, on which a pale yellow carpet was laid and a round stool was placed. Everyone guessed that this must be the position of the princess, and they rushed forward, and Zong Zan, who was the first to walk in, was the first to sit in front of the high platform.

Qiao Feng glanced around and found that Ling Hu and the others were standing aside with unhurried expressions, and waited until everyone had found a place before sitting down in the back position. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but nod secretly, compared to those big Sui brothers, Linghu's performance undoubtedly looked much more idle.

But what Qiao Feng didn't know was that Ling Hu was so calm because he was extremely familiar with the original book and knew that Princess Xixia would not appear in this Qingfeng Pavilion, otherwise it would not be Li Jiancheng who was sitting next to Zong Zan, but he Ling Hu.

After everyone sat down, the female official took out a small copper hammer and struck it three times on a white jade cloud board, and the hall was silent. A moment later, eight palace maids in green shirts walked out of the inner hall and stood on both sides, and after another moment, a girl in a light green shirt walked out.

The girl had a beautiful body, her face was covered with a veil but her neck was slender, and her head was held high like a white swan, which made everyone in the hall feel excited.

Zong Zan even exclaimed loudly: "I have heard that the princess of Yinchuan is beautiful, and today I saw that it was so." Sure enough, it lives up to its name! ”

The girl walked to the high platform, turned around and said softly: "Her Royal Highness the princess instructed: You guests are coming from afar, Qingfeng Pavilion is ashamed to have no good tea and delicious treats, it is very simple, please feel free to use it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and this girl was not the princess of Yinchuan! Prince Zongzan, who had just spoken, was even more reddened like a monkey's buttocks, and the eyes from behind him that were either sneering or disdainful made him feel like a man's back.

"It turns out that you are not a princess, so please come quickly. I can't get used to eating these Rausch pastries. ”

The girl smiled and said softly, "After you have used the tea, the princess has another message." ”

Before the words landed, Zong Zan immediately took the teacup in front of him and drank it all, poured the tea into his mouth with the tea leaves, and kept chewing the tea leaves. The people of Tubo drink tea, so they can eat tea and tea soup together.

After drinking the tea, he grabbed the four-color snack and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into his stomach, and said to the girl: "I have finished eating, I can say that the princess has something to say." ”

The girl was silent and looked at the others. Seeing this, Zong Zan said loudly: "You guys should also eat quickly, such a little thing is grinding and chirping like a girl." ”

Li Jiancheng, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Zongzan, his eyebrows were slightly invisibly wrinkled, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, since he entered this hall, the most noisy is this Prince Zongzan, he was the one who just said that he would not eat, and now he is the one who urges others to eat faster, just like a reckless man in the mountains.

When most of the people drank tea and ate snacks, Zong Zan looked at the girl, "It's okay now, right?" Princess, call her out quickly. ”

The girl said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has invited all the guests to move into the inner study and watch the calligraphy and paintings." ”

Zong Zan frowned, snorted dissatisfiedly, and said, "What's so beautiful about calligraphy and painting?" No matter how beautiful the beauty on the painting is, you can't touch it or smell it, it's all fake. How can it be compared to a real person? ”

That being said, he stood up anyway.

What no one knew was that above the hall, someone was watching this scene in the hall through a small hole.

Richard couldn't help but laugh and said: "This Zongzan is really a funny comparison." ”

Ai Mengmeng snorted lightly: "Where are you teasing?" It's obviously a reckless man in the mountains, I really don't know why Uncle Shi invited this kind of person to come! ”

Ai Mengmeng was also squatting beside a woman wearing a light veil and wearing a white dress, and said softly: "Little uncle, I think grandma must have her intentions." ”

Richard smiled and said, "It's not a good idea, it's just a fill." The Western Xia competition recruited relatives, and it was inappropriate for the Tubo country not to invite, but I didn't know who to invite, so I had to invite this tease to come over. Don't worry, I'll brush this guy for you even if he reaches the last level. Speaking of which, Qinglu, do you have a crush on anyone? Tell me about it, and I'll release water for your sweetheart. ”

Li Qinglu's face turned red, even the roots of his ears were red, and he snorted: "Uncle Shi is embarrassing people again, what can you see in such a short time?" ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll ask after I finish the second level. Let's go, they should be almost there. ”
