About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

Tao Zhengxi glanced at Eunuch Tan, and Eunuch Tan immediately bent down and put his ear close to obey the instructions. Then he passed Tao Zhengxi's order to the female officer in charge of arranging the performance, and learned that the performance would last until the end of the banquet. The female officers were stunned. The original arrangement did not require the performance to last that long, but even if it was His Majesty's whim order, they could only abide by it. Fortunately, they who can dance for Bi Xiao are already the best in this field, so they can still do it if they are asked to add content temporarily.

The people enjoying the performance did not notice that the content of the performance had been temporarily increased. Most of the attention was attracted by the performance, allowing Yang Yuyao to eat his food with relative peace of mind. Yang Yuyao couldn't help but think about whether he relied too much on He Qianqing. He was obviously accompanied to the banquet, but he felt relaxed only when He Qianqing was with him. Yang Yuyao felt that it was bad for him to be like this. If he relied too much on someone like this, he would be annoyed by others. But he tried to use his will to overcome it, but it was always not that effective.

"I feel like none of the dancing girls are as good-looking as my brother!" Yang Yuxuan muttered in a low voice.

"...Dancing is about technique and rhythm, and appearance is secondary. And they are also very beautiful. There is not only one kind of beauty." Yang Yuyao said helplessly. When compared with the opposite sex, she always feels inferior. He felt a little upset.

"But brother is better looking." Yang Yuxuan turned his head and took a closer look at the dancing women and said.

"Well, I also think the eldest brother is better looking. And how can you not look at your face when dancing?" Yang Yuwei chose to support Yang Yuxuan's point of view.

"But you can't just look at the face, and there are dances that don't show the face at all. Besides, why do you have to compare me with those women?" Yang Yuyao said.

"Because eldest brother is good-looking!"

"Brother looks the best!"

Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei answered at the same time. Yang Yuyao held his forehead weakly. He had never thought that he would be like this when he had younger brothers and sisters. Although his younger brothers and sisters did not quarrel with him like some people, look at him. This brother is unhappy. His younger siblings seem to like him quite a bit, but is there something wrong with his younger siblings who like his face so much?

"Your elder brother is right. Dancing is just like our martial arts practice. It depends more on skills rather than how good the person is. Although beautiful people do look more beautiful when they dance, you can't just focus on those people who are beautiful. Not pretty." Yang Ningxiu reached out and touched the heads of Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei one by one. Yang Yuyao, who was sitting between Yang Ningxiu and Yang Yuxuan, had to lean forward slightly to avoid Yang Ningxiu's arm. "Besides, your eldest brother has a face that few people in this world can match. It's really inappropriate to compare him with others."

"..." Yang Yuyao felt that he really didn't think it was good for him to see him like this, but people in this world seemed to particularly like his type?

"I can't understand..." Yang Yuyao tried his best to give up thinking, and then took another piece of shad for himself. "Delicious!" Yang Yuyao couldn't help but squinted his eyes, enjoying the delicious taste of this ingredient. He didn’t know if the fish named shad in this world was the same kind as the shad he had heard of in his original world. Yang Yuyao had never seen or eaten the shad in his original world, but the shad in this world was The most delicious river fish Yang Yuyao has ever eaten.

"What happened? Why did these people come here without watching the show?" Yang Yuyao, who wanted to pick up another piece of anchovy, was a little panicked. He didn't pick up the same dish several times in a row? Yang Yuyao quickly extended his chopsticks further and picked up a jasmine shrimp. "Are these people sick? What's the point of watching a man eat?!" Yang Yuyao found depressingly that even if he changed to eating shrimp, these people's eyes would still not move away. Even with this seating arrangement, most people Yang Yuyao could not be seen, but those people even began to ignore the image and stretched their necks just to see Yang Yuyao's appearance clearly.

"Cough!" Tao Zhengxi, who couldn't stand it, warned with a fake cough, but there were still people who were still looking at Yang Yuyao in fascination.

"Yan Aiqing, I heard that your eldest son is good at playing the flute, how about letting him show it off?" Tao Zhengxi started to name names, but Yang Yuyao was shocked. This was really like a recommendation at a parents' gathering. The children came out to perform their talents. It wasn't until Yang Yuyao saw who the eldest son of an official named Yan was that he understood why Tao Zhengxi suddenly called for this person.

This man whose name is unknown, Yan, was visually estimated to be a foundation-building monk in his twenties. He was so fascinated by Yang Yuyao that he didn't even react when Tao Zhengxi called her by name, until he was slapped hard on the back by his father. After a slap, he came back to his senses, reluctantly walked to the middle, and pulled out a jade flute from his belt. Start playing.

The dancing maids wisely stepped aside and took the opportunity to rest. The man surnamed Yan did play the flute well, and the sound of the flute was melodious and charming. However, Yang Yuyao found that Tao Zhengxi's face was even more unhappy. The other elders of the Yang family didn't look too good either. Tao, who was sitting further away, He couldn't see Ye Shuo's expression, but he could see the back of his hand that was clenched so tightly that veins popped out. Even the father of the man named Yan, the official named Yan, had a dark face. As for the other guests, some looked shocked, while others looked like they had seen a good show. All this seems to indicate that something is not quite right about this piece of music. But just listening to the melody, I can't tell the reason.

"Dad, what's the name of this song?" Yang Yuyao asked Yang Ningxiu via voice transmission.

"Ling Lang." Yang Ningxiu responded via voice transmission, "It's not a dazzling array of things, but a name for a man named Ling, Ling Lang. It is said that Ling Lang is a rare and beautiful man, and this song expresses his love for it. Its obsession. Nowadays, it is also used by men and women to express their admiration for each other. But!" Yang Ningxiu's tone suddenly became a lot heavier during the voice transmission, "The person who made this song used very dirty means to kill that person. Ling Lang got it and became his male favorite!"

"..." It was the first time that Yang Yuyao encountered a piece of music that could change his mood so many times, and it wasn't just because of the music itself. At first, when Yang Yuyao heard that this piece of music seemed to be written by a man about his love for another man, he felt that people in this world were quite open-minded and allowed music from such a source to be widely circulated. Then when Yang Ningxiu said that this song was widely used by men and women to express their love, Yang Yuyao felt that it was no wonder so many people knew this song. The spread of this song had nothing to do with whether they were open to same-sex love.

Then Yang Yuyao learned that after the composition of this song was completed, the future of the two people related to this song turned out to be such a relationship. It was not that the two people were in love and loved each other for a lifetime, nor was it a regretful miss that could not be achieved, but a regretful miss. It is one person using despicable means to force another person to submit to him. This is really...

"That Yan Shao! What do you want to do by playing this tune?!" Tao Yi gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"Isn't this a piece of music that expresses love? Isn't it allowed to be played on such an occasion?" Yang Yuwei asked in confusion.

Yes, this is the biggest problem with this song. Although this song has now become a song for men and women to express their love to each other, when this song is played here, the person who was looking at Yang Yuyao just a moment ago can see Mesmerized, and here, there are people sitting with their thoughts changing over and over again. These people would not believe that this monk named Yan Shao just thought of a piece of music and played it. But I wonder if he intends to do the same thing to the beautiful eldest son of the Yang family as the composer of this song did.

This is tantamount to provocation to the elders of the Yang family, Tao Zhengxi, and Tao Yeshuo. It is not clear whether Yan Shao's father's face is dark because his eldest son is suspected of having a habit of cutting off his sleeves, or because it makes Tao Zhengxi displeased. Or both. As for the others, they were either shocked by his boldness, or they were just watching the excitement and did not mind the trouble, or they were hoping that Yan Shao would cause a big disaster and make Tao Zhengxi furious. It would be best if Yanfu could also be implicated. In short, except for the young girls who have not yet mastered the bending of the intestines, no one believes that there is no agenda in playing this song in the Yanshao period.

Tao Zhengxi successively selected a few people who were fascinated by Yang Yuyao to perform, but these people did not make Tao Zhengxi more unhappy like Yan Shao, but Yan Shao was not punished for this. But it’s unclear whether he will be given more attention in the future.

Looking at the men and women who were named to perform, Yang Yuyao wondered if he shouldn't come to this banquet. If he hadn't come, these people wouldn't have been so upset. But it's unclear whether Tao Zhengxi arranged this intentionally, just like when training a dog, he deliberately placed some distracting objects nearby to test the dog's obedience. It's just that the effect of Yang Yuyao's interference seems to be too strong.

After a few people were selected, the others finally realized that Tao Zhengxi had chosen those who looked at Yang Yuyao so much that they forgot about themselves. Officials from the third rank to below couldn't help but be glad that they were sitting far away from Yang Yuyao. Why? The probe could not see Yang Yuyao's face as long as the person was still sitting in his seat, so it was not affected much. But at the beginning of the banquet, they were regretting that their official position was not high enough and they could not get a closer look at this incredibly beautiful young man.

Their rationality told them that no matter how good-looking this young man was, beauties could not be eaten. They had finally achieved their current status, but they did not want to be demoted by the emperor. But when they thought about waiting for the banquet to end and being able to move around freely, they felt their eyes darken again. They were afraid that their son would not be able to control him, so they pounced on Yang Yuyao when he was nearby! There were several generals in the Yang family who were members of that beauty. He was protected by his elders, and he was at the Golden Core level, so he would be fine, but it was hard to say whether the person who jumped at him would survive.

The last snack served was a lotus-shaped shortbread, which was very similar to a snack called Lotus Shortcake sent by Yang Yuyao's grandfather's friend. However, lotus and lotus are just different names for a flower. Yang Yuyao vaguely remembered that the packaging of the box of snacks had the words low sugar and healthy printed on it. But the lotus-shaped shortbread here is less sweet. The filling is not bean paste, but lotus seed paste and chopped lotus petals, so it has the unique sweetness of lotus. This method can probably only be used as a seasonal snack.

It tastes good, but it's a pity that it's not easy to pack it up and take it back for He Qianqing to taste. Noting that there were actually a lot of leftovers at each table, Yang Yuyao thought regretfully knowing that these would be given to the palace maids and father-in-law. In this environment, whether it was packaged openly or secretly, it would be a loss of face for the Yang family. As for asking Tao Zhengxi directly... I could feel that the imperial grandfather still had some feelings for He Qianqing. Yang Yuyao decided not to make such an attempt for the time being.

"Well, that person is Zhong Weisi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice..." Yang Yuyao's eyes fell on a man who looked a little haggard at the same table as Tao Yeshuo. Yang Yuyao could see that Zhong Tong was very similar to him. With a similar but younger appearance, he looks so much like himself, and he is the son of his first wife. It is no wonder that Zhong Weisi dotes on his youngest son so much.

"Weird, Zhong Tong should be unmarried, why didn't you come today?" Yang Yuyao noticed that Zhong Weisi brought two girls who looked fifteen or sixteen years old today, probably the children of his concubines. Concubine. Zhong Tong was estimated to be over 20 years old. His three sisters-in-law should all be married if nothing else happened, but Zhong Tong did not behave like a married man.

If he married a well-matched woman, it would be impossible for her to tolerate her husband's behavior of robbing civilian girls and hanging out in brothels. If this was spread, the face of the woman's family would also be damaged. Unless he married a woman with a much lower status than him, it would be impossible to swallow his anger. However, what allowed Yang Yuyao to confirm that Zhong Tong was unmarried was of course the surveillance footage seen through the monitor Xiaoshi. This person's subordinates never mentioned the existence of the "young lady".

Speaking of the surveillance footage, Yang Yuyao thought of the video he sent to Yang Ningxiu yesterday, and Yang Ningxiu only replied to him saying "I know." They didn't ask him any questions or mention the matter. Yang Yuyao didn't know if they didn't care or if they didn't want him to continue to interfere in the matter.

After the banquet, people got up and left the boat. The banquet was not over yet. Although the food at the banquet was very good, the real focus was the free communication time after the banquet. Although for the children of these courtiers, the "public academy of cultivation of immortality", Shangzhenyuan, gave them the opportunity to get to know and become familiar with each other, in fact, for the convenience of management, there were not many opportunities to actually meet. Moreover, Shangzhenyuan does not accept mortals, and those who cannot draw Qi into their bodies will be excluded. But here, these intentional barriers no longer exist. People can choose who to communicate with based on their needs.

But Yang Yuyao didn't really want to participate in such exchange activities, so he planned to stay on the boat, but Tao Zhengxi walked over to him.

"Xiaoyao, come with me for a walk." Tao Zhengxi said. Yang Yuyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Following the emperor, those people should be more restrained. Even if someone still can't control it, his relatives and friends will probably take action to stop him when they see this scene.

However, Tao Zhengxi did not immediately take Yang Yuyao to a crowded place. Instead, he took Yang Yuyao off the painting boat, walked along the lake, and then boarded a small building. When he reached the third floor, he walked Go to the railing and look down.

At this time, the people left on the ground had become much smaller, like little people the size of matchsticks. Yang Yuyao saw several people clinking glasses against the lotus in the lake, seeming to be reciting poems and composing poems. Several men and women who are good at music took out their special instruments and were competing for music.

His sight passed through several waves of people standing, sitting, lying down, talking or playing chess together, and further away was a shooting range where young people were competing in archery. Yang Yuyao saw Tao Yi and Yang Yuxuan among the group of people. In addition, no matter what they do, there are always some girls looking at them not far away with curiosity and admiration.

"Xiao Yao, what do you think of the imperial court you saw?" Tao Zhengxi suddenly asked, frightening Eunuch Tan who was following him.

"I don't understand, so it's hard to make an evaluation." Yang Yuyao replied. He didn't know what Tao Zhengxi's mentality was, and she liked to drag him into deadly minefields. Previously, Tong Tao Yeshuo asked him to add a group name to name state affairs, and now asked him such a question to a person who had just returned to Xia Kingdom not long ago.

"You can have any opinion, tell me, I won't punish you. I won't punish the Yang family either. I swear." Tao Zhengxi pointed to the sky and said. Eunuch Tan still had a look of shock on his face. Yang Yuyao looked at his maternal grandfather. With a serious face, he turned to look at the people downstairs enjoying themselves. He thought for a moment before speaking.

"bloated." Yang Yuyao said only one word. Tao Zhengxi burst out laughing.

"That's right! It's just bloated. It has been more than thousands of years since the founding of the Xia Kingdom. The surrounding countries have split and merged, perished and established new countries. It only took the Weiwu Kingdom and the Bianliang Kingdom four to five hundred years to establish and develop to what they are now. In terms of scale, only our Xia Kingdom has been expanding. There are more and more people in the court, and some of the officials in the court are unnecessary. It’s just that I haven’t figured out how to deal with it yet." Tao Zhengxi finished speaking with a smile. He pointed at a group of young people who seemed to be full of knowledge. "Xiaoyao, these are this year's Jinshi. You pick a few that you like and bring them to Yugui to help you!"
