Chapter 226 The Tenth Task: The Unlucky Traveling Woman (24)

Dayan Dynasty is a very enlightened country. They hold a Qionglin Party and a Flower Appreciation Party every year. The Flower Appreciation Party is on December [-]th, and the Qionglin Party is on May [-]th. The purpose of holding the Qionglin Party and the Flower Appreciation Party is It's very simple, just to select the most handsome man and the most beautiful woman in the capital.However, the stepping stone for Qionglin Club and Flower Appreciation Club is not simple. Ordinary people cannot go there. They need to be the children of talented, beautiful and high-ranking official families, or they must be talented men and women who are famous all over the capital.

If you don't have both, then you need to be the most beautiful man or the most beautiful woman in the previous session to bring you in, otherwise, you can only look at the ocean and sigh.

The Qionglin Club is held in the Peach Blossom Valley near the capital. The Peach Blossom Valley is famous for the peach blossoms that bloom all year round. The undefeated peach blossoms symbolize auspiciousness. It is to find someone to publicize the vision of Peach Blossom Valley, so that all the people in the world feel that the current sage is the destiny.

The Peach Blossom Valley was also protected by people sent by the sage, except for the annual Qionglin Festival and the Flower Appreciation Festival, the rest of the time is closed to the public.

The most handsome man in the last Qionglin Club was Helian Xiyue, King of the Night. Helian Xiyue has a noble temperament, a slender figure, and good features. As expected.

And the most beautiful woman in the last Flower Appreciation Festival was Liang Qingxia, the daughter of Xiangfu. But being infatuated with the Night King Helian Xiyue made many men feel overwhelmed.

Helian Xiyue is different from other men, no matter in terms of family background, appearance or talent, Helian Xiyue is first-class, even if they want to compete, they have no choice.There is no chance of winning.

Although Helian Xiyue did not express her affection for Liang Qingxia, one of them is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and the other is the most beautiful man in the capital. Most people think that they will be together sooner or later.

And today is the fifth day of May, that is to say, there are still ten days before the Qionglin meeting will start, so Li You, the son of Zhongshu Shilang, invited a few close friends to come out to discuss the meeting. Who will get the most beautiful boy in his heart, tell the most beautiful boy in his heart, and wait until after the Qionglin meeting to see whether he wins or loses. The loser must give the most valuable and precious thing to the winner.

In other words, this is a bet.

"I think the most beautiful man in Beijing this year is His Royal Highness the Night King." Li You guessed the Night King last year, and he won a lot of money. Naturally, he will guess the Night King this year. The existence of the Night King has not yet been surpassed.

"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget that there is also King Ran, who is not inferior to King Ye in appearance." The speaker was Li Yan, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He had always admired Liang Qingxia, the number one beauty in the capital, The Night King was extremely dissatisfied. In his opinion, except that he was not as noble as the Night King, and he was not as good-looking as the Night King, he was better than the Night King in everything else.

"Ran Wang?" A girl in green clothes opposite Li Yan laughed. Her name is Xiao Ya, she is the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and she is also Liang Qingxia's friend. But the king, puff, I really want to laugh so hard, the bully bullies all day long with cockfights, walks dogs, has countless concubines at home, yet still misses fireworks and willow alley all day long, and the noble ladies in the capital change their colors when they mention him, So what if he is good-looking? There is no way to compare with the Night King!"

Her voice was not too loud, and she didn't pay attention to Ran Wang at all.

Li Yan couldn't hear others praise Ye Wang, and sneered, "Ye Wang is clean and self-sufficient, who knows what kind of thoughts are hidden under his handsome face, there are more guards in the mansion than maids, and they are almost at the age of weak crowns. Not a single room."

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Ya's smile faded slightly, and she laughed again after a moment, but her smile was sarcastic, and there was contempt in her eyes. "I know you like Qing Xia, but Qing Xia just doesn't like you. What can you do? No matter whether you are envious, jealous or angry, Qing Xia only likes the Night King, and only the Night King is worthy of Qing Xia."

"You..." Li Yan turned pale with anger, but soon he adjusted his mood, and said to Xiao Ya, "You actually said that King Ye is worthy of Qingxia, but no one in the capital knows that King Ye doesn't like it." Qingxia? If he really liked Qingxia, he would have come to propose marriage a long time ago, so why wait until now? This may be the legendary Luo Hua's intentional flow of water and ruthlessness."

This time it was Xiao Ya's turn to look ugly, she snorted coldly, "Oh, even if Ye Wang doesn't like Qing Xia, it's not your turn."

"What did you say?" Li Yan was furious, slapped the table and got up, his long and narrow eyes were full of cruelty.

"Aren't I telling the truth?" Xiao Ya raised her voice, not being frightened by Li Yan at all.She and Liang Qingxia are good friends, so she naturally knows that the Night King has no feelings for his friend. This is also the most painful part for Liang Qingxia. Clarify the relationship between the two of them.

But Liang Qingxia refused. She said that the one who cleans himself will dispel the idea of ​​the Night King. She doesn't want the two of them to lose even the last trace of their bond.

What a humble emotion.

Regarding this, Xiao Ya felt sorry for her friend very much, and naturally she was very angry when she heard Li Yan's words.

"Okay, what are you guys arguing about? You came out to discuss who is more handsome. Why are you all blushing and thick neck?" Seeing this, Li You looked at the two of them helplessly, "Anyway, I will choose the Night King this year. You can choose whoever you want." Although his father is the servant of Zhongshu, he is a patriarchal type. His father will buy whatever his sister Li Xuan likes, and he can only get what he wants. It can be said that his father didn't take his son seriously at all.

If I don't work hard, Li You will naturally have to find a way to earn money by himself. Li You will get involved in any event in the capital, whether it is a big event or a small event, and his vision is also very good. Others doubt life.

"I also choose the Night King."

"Me too."

"I, I choose the king."

"I choose last year's new champion."

"I choose..."

The boys and girls at the two tables next to them looked at this scene in horror. They were all the sons of petty officials, and they couldn't compare with the family background of Li You and the other three. Therefore, when Li Yan and Xiao Ya quarreled, they didn't dare to open their mouths. The ostrich and the mute, not to mention the Ye Wang Ran Wang and other big figures in their discussion, their faces turned pale when they heard Xiao Ya demote Ran Wang to nothing.

Xiao Ya and Li Yan's identities are so noble. The two of them said that the prince will not suffer, but they are different. If the prince wants to kill them, it is as easy as crushing an ant.

And Li You naturally also saw the uneasiness of other people, so his lips curled up in a disdainful arc without leaving a trace. A group of cowardly people, if it wasn't because he wanted to earn more money, they really wouldn't be called They come out.

friend?

Heh, except for Li Yan and Xiao Ya, the others are not worthy of being his friends.

When Li Yan and Xiao Ya saw that Li You had spoken, they went down the steps. They were outside now and they didn't want to cause too much trouble.

Moreover, this is the first floor in the world, the place with the most dignitaries, even they are not qualified to sit in the private rooms upstairs.

"I choose Night King." Xiao Ya looked aside.

"I choose Ran Wang." Li Yan snorted coldly.

Of the twelve people, half chose the Night King, three chose the Ran Wang, and three chose Du Ji, the new champion of last year.

"Then it's settled." Li You laughed confidently. At this moment, the four shopkeepers held trays and put the dishes they ordered on the table one by one, saying that the guest officer is slow. use.

They sat at three tables in total, Li You sat at one table for three, and the other nine sat by themselves.

When the delicious dishes were served, everyone no longer wanted to quarrel, and started to eat with a big movement of their index fingers.

At this time, Feng Buyu and Hua'e had just arrived at Dongmen Street.

There were not many people on the street, the sun was scorching, and the bluestone boards were scorching hot. When I got off the carriage, a wave of heat rushed to my face, and the scorching temperature came from the soles of my feet. I looked at the sky without saying a word——

It's already noon.

She decided to go to dinner first.
