After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Although Liu Zhaoran and Pei Zhaoqing came temporarily, for the sake of Liu Qianran and Zhongyong Hou, Xiao Rongxuan still asked people to add two positions, just below Liu Qianran.

When everyone was seated, the banquet began. Various dishes and fine wines were served on wooden trays and flowed down the river for everyone to take.

Dozens of beautiful maids, with bare hands and delicate hands, were kneeling at the beginning of the stream, serving dishes and adding wine, and at the end, collecting wooden plates and dishes to prevent accumulation.

Not far away, there are painters and recorders sitting on their knees, responsible for drawing banquet scrolls and recording poems.

According to the rules of previous years, there are three rounds of banquet.

In the first round, everyone can compose poems at will without any restrictions, regardless of subject matter and content.

Of course, this means that they can think about the poems in advance, so in this round, everyone just criticizes each other's poems, which is not very interesting.

In the second round, Xiao Rongxuan will give a topic, which is generally relatively broad. Everyone can show their talents, such as poetry, painting or even playing the piano and flute. As long as it echoes the topic, it is valid.

The gameplay for the third round will not be announced until the first two rounds are over.

After the first round started, many people stood up and recited the poems they had written. Although there were many excellent poems, once they heard it, they felt that it had obviously been carefully considered and polished, and it was by no means a temporary inspiration.

However, most of the people present still cheered and applauded, which suddenly lifted the atmosphere of the entire banquet.

When the second round began, the first topic given by Xiao Rongxuan was "Flowing Clouds and Leaning on the Autumn Wind".

Today happens to be the beginning of autumn, which is particularly appropriate for the occasion.

After everyone thought for a moment, some people began to stand up and write poems. The woman who had previously ridiculed Liu Zhaoran also drew a picture of enjoying the early autumn scenery, which attracted a burst of applause.

Chu Huanyan had no intention of getting involved. She just ate the cakes taken out of the wooden plate casually and secretly looked at the brocade box that Mu Feng placed next to her out of the corner of her eye.

She was a little curious, what was in it?

"We haven't seen each other for five years. Junior sister has changed a lot." Mu Feng drank the wine in his glass and spoke softly.

"Yes." Chu Huanyan responded casually, just treating the other party as a pleasantry.

But Mu Feng put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Chu Huanyan seriously.

"Have."

When his eyes fell on Chu Huanyan's moon-white solemn dress, Mu Feng paused for a moment.

"I still remember when junior sister first became a disciple, it happened to be winter. She was thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a bright red cloud brocade and white fox cloak. Her eyes were full of smiles. She coaxed the teacher and junior wife to give you a meeting gift as soon as they met. That was all the disciples The only one."

Chu Huanyan at that time was completely different from what she is now.

Chu Huanyan was stunned, a big red brocade and white fox cloak?

She remembered that it was a white fox that her father accidentally caught while hunting. It was of excellent quality. Her mother stayed up for several nights and sewed it into a cloak for her.

At that time, my mother said that she looked most beautiful in red, and she liked it too, so she specially chose the bright red brocade, and her mother also embroidered words on the inside of the cloak.

However, these memories are too long for her in this life.

It has been so long that she no longer knows where the cloak is now. Either it was lost in the panic, or it was pawned with many other items in the mansion in the chaos of the first year she took charge of the palace.

It had been so long that she no longer remembered what words her mother had embroidered on the inside of the cloak.

It's been so long... that she even forgot that she once had a family that took good care of and doted on her, and was praised and loved by others.

Chu Huanyan came back to her senses, feeling suddenly confused.

Just like a person who has long been accustomed to the world of ice and snow, he suddenly sees a ball of flame appearing in front of him.

However, it was not a sudden surprise, but the ashes of the past.

"What's wrong with junior sister?" Seeing that Chu Huanyan didn't speak, Mu Feng asked.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly brought up old things and felt a little dazed." Chu Huanyan collected her thoughts and spoke as usual.

"What are Miss Chu and Mr. Mu talking about?" Xiao Rongxuan's voice sounded, "Could it be that this prince thinks that this drinking party is too boring, so he doesn't want to participate?"

These words immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all looked towards Chu Huanyan and Mu Feng.

Diagonally opposite, although his eyes fell casually on the stream in front of him, Xiao Jinzhi, who had been listening intently to the conversation between the two, finally looked sideways at Chu Huanyan.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. It's just that I haven't seen my senior brother for a long time, so I'm just catching up on old times." Chu Huanyan said calmly.

Xiao Rongxuan laughed and said, "It's okay. Speaking of which, you two might as well show it off so that everyone can appreciate the grace of Mr. Shen Xi's disciples."

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately responded.

Chu Huanyan stood up and bowed to Xiao Rongxuan, "I ask for your forgiveness, Third Prince. My daughter is indeed not good at studying. I'm afraid she will disgrace her teacher's reputation. In addition, there are many talents and knowledge present today, so my daughter will not do whatever she wants."

"Miss Chu, there is no need to be too modest. Since you can be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Shen Xi, you must be superior." Xiao Rongxuan refused to give up.

Chu Huanyan smiled gently, "It's just a coincidence, plus some luck. It's really not worth mentioning."

Seeing that Chu Huanyan was calm and calm despite everyone's gaze, Xiao Rongxuan did not continue talking, but looked at Mu Feng beside her.

"What about you, Mr. Mu?"

"Your Highness, I forgive you. I feel that these two rounds are a bit boring, so I will not participate." Mu Feng said directly.

Many people present changed their expressions, but Xiao Rongxuan laughed out loud instead.

"Then what do you think is interesting?"

Mu Feng was silent for a moment, then put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "I heard that His Highness has specially set up a high platform for the third round of this year's banquet. I wonder what the method is?"

"This...the third round today is a dance for the high platform." Xiao Rongxuan paused and smiled, "Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Chen Xi's wife danced with extraordinary dancing skills. She danced on the high platform on a snowy night. Mr. Shen Xi fell in love at first sight and wrote dozens of poems overnight. Later, he used all his wealth to propose marriage three times. It became a good story for a while, but it is a pity that I, the prince, did not have the opportunity to meet her. "

"It's a coincidence." Mu Feng turned his eyes to Chu Huanyan, "If I remember correctly, Junior Sister once learned dancing from Junior Sister."

"Miss Chu actually learned dancing? I wonder if I, the prince, may be lucky enough to watch it today." Xiao Rongxuan said with a smile.

Chu Huanyan watched the two people singing in unison. It was obvious that they had discussed it long ago.

If Xiao Rongxuan wanted to use himself to test Xiao Jinzhi, then it might not be that simple to dance on the high platform.

Many people around also noticed something was wrong. In previous years, both men and women could participate in the third round. This year’s third round is basically for women.

And looking at this posture, it seems that it was specially prepared for this Miss Chu.

However, even though many people were confused, no one said anything because of Xiao Rongxuan.

When Xiao Jinzhi heard about Gaotai Yiwu, he raised his eyebrows without any trace, searched with his eyes, and finally stopped in the east direction of Liuyun Garden.

"Could it be the high platform that third brother mentioned?"
