Bang bang bang!

Finally, after praising the official, Li Miao couldn't help but pat her face many times, and the stiff muscles were slowly relieved.

Then, he took off the uncomfortable dress and changed back into his original clothes.

There was not much time to rest, and he could only drink a cup of cold tea. Li Miao had to set off again, this time to Qionglin Garden to participate in this Qionglin Banquet.

The Qionglin Banquet was held by the Ministry of Rites in Qionglin Garden. In addition to the new Jinshi, the examiners of the general examination also came to participate one by one.

The seats at the banquet were arranged one by one according to the ranking in the palace examination. Therefore, Li Miao's seat was relatively front and conspicuous.

Soon after finding the corresponding seat and sitting down, plate after plate of delicious dishes gradually arrived on the table.

Li Miao couldn't help but swallow slightly. Apart from breakfast, he had nothing else to eat today.

What is a little surprising is that the emperor of Dahua appeared at the banquet.

The Ninth Five-Year Master first spoke some encouraging words, and then drank a glass of wine with everyone present before leaving with the support of the eunuchs and imperial guards.

Then, the examiner of this examination, Liu Hongwei, the left servant of the Ministry of Etiquette, stood up from his seat and said something, and finally ended with a toast and a glass of wine with everyone present.

Of course, as the boss of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites, will inevitably stand up and give a speech.

"This imperial examination has achieved a complete success, and it would not be possible without everyone present. Come! Let us have a drink for this!"

"Drinking Saint!"

"Drinking Saint!"

"Drinking Saint!"

"..."

Everyone present once again drank all the drinks they had just filled.

After drinking three glasses of wine on an empty stomach, Li Miao felt uncomfortable in her stomach for a while, and a feeling of nausea and vomiting could not help but come to her heart.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, I can’t help but pick up the chopsticks.

After drinking this glass of wine, Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites, continued to speak.

"Finally, for our great glory, everyone, let's have another drink!"

"Drinking Saint!"

"Drinking Saint!"

"Drinking Saint!"

"..."

Everyone toasted again.

Li Miao couldn't help but turn a little pale, but she could only bite the bullet and drink the glass of wine.

Now, my stomach was even more noisy.

Yang Rong, the Minister of Rites, finally sat down.

It should be ready to start now, right?

However, it seemed that God was deliberately against Li Miao. Just when he thought the banquet was about to officially begin, two more important figures appeared at the banquet.

The current prince Li Yan, and the king of Jin Li Jin!

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I have met His Royal Highness Prince Jin!"

Yang Rong and other officials did not expect that these two people would suddenly appear here, so they quickly stood up from their seats and saluted them.

Most of the new scholars present did not know the identities of these two people. They did not know until they heard the names of these two officials. They stood up from their seats and followed the example of the officials and saluted them.<

/p>

Seeing this, Prince Li Yan said: "Everyone, sit down quickly. I and the second emperor's brother are just here to take a look. There is no need to be so polite."

Yang Rong and other officials led the prince and the king of Jin to their seats and sat on high seats.

Prince Li Yan said to them: "Master Yang, Master Liu, and all other lords, I and the second emperor's brother came uninvited and caused trouble to you lords. I hope you will forgive me."

Naturally, the officials repeatedly said no.

The banquet finally officially started.

The Crown Prince and King Jin did not stand up and say something like the previous ones, and then ended with a toast.

This made Li Miao breathe a sigh of relief. He thought that he had almost reached his limit. If he continued to drink a glass of wine on an empty stomach, he might make a fool of himself and spit it out on the spot.

I quickly picked up the chopsticks in front of me, picked up a piece of mutton, and turned into a pure rice cook.

Looking at the other new scholars, they are almost the same as Li Miao.

Next, as time went by, under the leadership of officials, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more relaxed. More and more Xinke Jinshi left their seats after filling their stomachs, and met with other Xinke Jinshi

Talking.

Li Miao, Ji Gang, and Zhang Feng gathered together. The three of them had just had a glass of wine. Before they could enter, a palace maid came over and asked His Highness the Crown Prince over to Li Miaoyan.

Although he was full of doubts, Li Miao still had to put down the wine glass in his hand, and then followed the palace maid to the prince Li Yan.

Su Song and others who were about to come over to chat for a few words had no choice but to stop when they saw this scene.

The area where Prince Li Yan was sitting was the place that attracted the most attention during the entire banquet. Li Miao's actions undoubtedly attracted the attention of other new scholars, who more or less looked over here with confusion.

Curious.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness King Jin, and all of you!"

Li Miao bowed.

"Li Zhuangyuan, there is no need to be so polite. Sit down quickly."

Prince Li Yan invited Li Miao to sit down. After he sat down, he directly stated the purpose of inviting Li Miao over.

He said: "Li Zhuangyuan, I heard that you are very good at poetry. On this festive day, why don't you write a poem to liven up the atmosphere?"

Li Miao's expression paused slightly. He did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would call him over because of this.

Inadvertently noticing Sima Zhong's expression, Li Miao seemed to know something.

Li Miao showed a look of embarrassment and said: "Your Highness, I'm really sorry. Because I drank some wine just now, my mind is not as clear as usual at this time. I'm afraid it's hard to do it for a while."

Come up with a good poem..."

"That's it."

Prince Li Yan showed a look of regret, and then said without hesitation: "If that's the case, then forget it."

This was just his whim, and Li Miao's rejection was nothing but regretful in his heart.

Li Miao said apologetically: "I have disturbed the enjoyment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and all your lords. I will express my apologies over wine."

As he said that, he took the empty wine glass on the side and poured himself a full glass of wine.

Just as he was about to finish the drink, Sima Zhong stopped him.

Sima Zhao said with a smile: "Li Zhuangyuan, wait a minute, should we propose a toast to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Mr. Yang? Only in this way can we show our sincerity."

Hearing this, Prince Li Yan frowned slightly, recalling that it was Sima Zhong who had just suggested to him to invite Li Miao to compose poems to liven up the atmosphere, and he probably realized something.

I suddenly felt a little unhappy.

However, after all, Sima Zhong is considered his person, and it is difficult to say anything at the moment.

However, what was unexpected was that Li Miao nodded in deep agreement.
Chapter completed!
