Divine Book Era

Chapter 68 Jade Prince

Tianranju, with beautiful scenery and elegant layout, is a first-class living place, and there are several maids who serve tea, water, various fruits, snacks and so on.

Looking at the silver plate, looking at the expensive fruit, snacks.

The Jade Prince was extremely considerate in his hospitality, respectful to the corporals, and made the scholars feel at home.

However, Liu Xiu feels out of place, this is not the place for him to stay, it's better to go back, it's better to go back!

When going to the bathroom, Liu Xiu saw it.There is a lacquer box in the toilet, which contains dried dates. I can't help but wonder, what are the dried dates in the toilet for?It will never be used for food!Eating in the toilet seems a little disgusting.When I got outside, I asked the maid, and I learned that the dried dates are used to block the nose.

Before eating, the maid brought tea, Liu Xiu thought it was appetizing tea, and drank it immediately, but the maids laughed, this tea is not for drinking, but for gargling.

And when sleeping at night, some maids stripped off their clothes, went to the bed, warmed the quilt with the body temperature of the woman, and then got out of the quilt to rest on the side bed.As a guest, Liu Xiu can enjoy the maid and the warm bed.

In just two days, Liu Xiu enjoyed the so-called aristocratic life, and only felt a strong discomfort.

The scenery of Tianranju is elegant, and there are maids waiting on it, but Liu Xiu misses Wolong Villa more, the life of living in a hut, farming and studying.

Liu Xiu felt a little regretful in her heart. If she had known this, he was from Lower Riba and should not have come to Prince Yu's banquet.

Fortunately, the guests arrived one after another, and these guests were all from the six southern states, famous talents, powerful officials, celebrities and refined scholars.Those who have the qualifications to enter the Golden Valley Garden are all people with profound literature, well-read poems and books, or people with high positions and powerful backgrounds, or people with profound backgrounds.

There are as many as a hundred guests at this banquet.

At this time, under the arrangement of various officials in the mansion, they sat in their respective positions.And Liu Xiu sat in a remote corner, very inconspicuous.

And he didn't take it to heart.

Vaguely saw a few acquaintances, Jing Yun said hello to each nobleman, and sat in another corner; Li Xian sat in another corner, with a dignified expression and slightly nervous eyes; and Zhao Yong also lost his former self. Calm, free and easy, seems a little nervous.

Roughly looking around, each guest is either rich or noble, either with outstanding talents or knowledge, or with high status and authority.

It can be said that they are rich and powerful when they talk and laugh, and they are all talented people.

Jingu Garden is an elegant place, without literary accomplishment, without shocking talent, there is no qualification to enter here.

Prince Jade is the third prince of Chu State today and one of the most popular candidates for emperor.

This kind of banquet is more to attract scholars and talents from the eight states in the south of Chu State, and to increase capital for the fight for the throne.

At this time, Prince Jade appeared, with a magnificent appearance and a good-looking talent, and his eyes were shining with wisdom. He was obviously one of the best candidates for a generation of virtuous kings who will compete for the throne in the future.

With the appearance of the owner, one by one food was presented soon, with a complete range, a variety of patterns, and charming colors. Just looking at the dishes on the table is the ultimate enjoyment.In the banquet, the meal sharing system is adopted, one guest, one small table, with wine and vegetables on each.

Soon, in the garden, the piano was rustling, silk and bamboo were playing harmoniously, and graceful dancers sang and danced gracefully, covering their bodies with light gauze. Accompanied by the singing and dancing, the atmosphere gradually became active, and the guests exchanged cups and cups, which was full of excitement.

And Prince Yu and some of the neighboring dignitaries were communicating with each other, talking and laughing happily.

Liu Xiu took a general look. The guests around him were either the Marquis, the Governor, or the General Soldier, etc. These were the most important objects that Prince Yu made friends with and wooed; in addition, there were some literati, talented people, and children of big families, etc. And so on, are also the objects of wooing, showing that Prince Yu is respectful to corporals and respects literati.

And he appeared extremely inconspicuous in the huge meeting.

To some extent, he is soy sauce!
In Liu Xiu's heart, she couldn't help laughing at herself.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is also normal.

He is just a scholar, his status is extremely low.But this time, being able to participate in such a banquet was more due to the effect brought about by her instant fame at the Dragon Boat Festival poetry meeting.

Subconsciously, Prince Yu sent an invitation for himself.

After posting, I just forgot, maybe even his name.

Prince Yu is the third prince. He is busy competing for the throne with his brothers. He has no time or energy. He is just a small person who pays too much attention to him.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiu felt a lot calmer. She thought it was an interview, but she didn't expect it to be soy sauce.

Forget it, since it’s soy sauce, and since it’s here to make up the numbers, let’s enjoy it all. After all, there are a lot of delicious food here, and it’s free to eat, and it doesn’t cost money;

"Ding dong. Ding dong"

The sound of the piano is rustling, the silk and bamboo are singing, and in the middle of the banquet, a group of dancers are swaying and dancing gracefully, covering their bodies with light gauze, with bare shoulders, sitting at the banquet, tasting wine, and admiring the long-legged beauty in the middle of the banquet. , may be the only pleasure of the banquet for Liu Xiu.

The emperor of Chu encouraged his courtiers to accumulate land and money widely, and raise concubines and concubines in captivity, which made all officials corrupt.

As the saying goes, a hundred corrupt criminals are not as harmful as one famous minister.

In the world, only capable ministers and military generals rebel, and they often succeed in rebelling; while corrupt criminals rarely rebel, and even fewer succeed in rebelling.

Therefore, in Dachu, there is an unspoken rule: the concubines raised by one's side are directly proportional to their status.

The more noble the status and status, the more concubines there are in captivity in the family.Officials, the number of concubines kept in captivity at home is very small, and they are often embarrassed to meet people.An official, with a small number of captives in his home, was either demoted or refrigerated.

Prince Jade was born noble and rich, and likes to collect all kinds of beauties. The dancers in this banquet are all graceful, and any one of them is a rare beauty, either charming, sexy, or quiet.
Soon after the banquet reached its climax, Prince Yu said, "There are meals, fine wines, and beauties, but it is a pity that there are no good poems? How about making poems to cheer up the fun!"

"My lord, that's exactly it!"

"A banquet without poetry is like a meal without salt, which is difficult to swallow!"

All the dignitaries nodded.

After going through too many banquets, I'm tired of singing and dancing, and I'm tired of delicious food. Even with the dancer's beautiful body, it's hard to produce a little fun.Simply put, aesthetic fatigue.

Only wonderful poetry can uplift the mind and obtain the happiness of the soul

Prince Yu said: "Why not, let's use the Golden Valley Garden as the theme. All talented scholars and literati can write a poem. The time is based on a stick of incense?"

Just like that, everyone nodded.
