Mid-Autumn Festival Extra Story ([-])

In June, when the breeze is gentle, the Hibiscus Flower Festival in Shangjing is the busiest. Tourists and ink makers gather to paint flowers outside Nanshan Temple. The first name is a magnolia flower cultivated by Master Wuchen in Kede Temple, which is called "Flourishing Lotus".

It was still early, and the outside of Nanshan Temple was already crowded with literati and scholars watching the excitement.

"If you want me to say, this year's Danqing Banquet, the first name should be Prince Jing's son Lu Chen."

But the person next to him said: "Brother, what you said is wrong. I heard that Gu Yanzhi, the new top scholar handpicked by the emperor this year, is the best at calligraphy and painting. Master Wuchen of Nanshan Temple personally praised him as a masterpiece in the world!"

The former person argued with him: "Shizi's paintings and calligraphy were praised by the holy ancestors in the past. Now they are hard to find, and they are priceless in the market. A "Mountain and River Picture" is still treasured by the sage in the imperial study. Where is it? Is Gu Yanzhi comparable?"

"In my opinion, these two people are really indistinguishable..."

Those people were blushing, but there was a chuckle behind them: "I think there is someone else who will be the number one this year."

The voice was as clear and pleasant as a mountain spring, and they looked back together, only to see a piece of sleeves, a luxurious brocade shirt, and a faint fragrance left in the air.

"Master, please walk slowly, you are distinguished, and there are so many people today, why do you want to join in the fun? You don't bring the guards, if there is any mistake, let the master know, the slave's life It’s about to be revealed.”

The young man in white tapped his forehead twice with a fan, and said with a smile: "My lord, I just like to join in the fun. If you are afraid, you can go back by yourself. Today's 'Prosperous Lotus', I am sure to win, my lord."

The little book boy curled his lips and said, "My lord, didn't you just hear someone say that the elder son is also going to participate in the competition, how can you compare with him? If the son really likes the magnolia flower, you can ask the elder son for it later." , after all, the son of the world does not like heavy flowers and plants."

"The ones given by others are naturally not as good as the ones I won. If you say that I can't compare with him, I must win Lu Chen once."

The book boy had no choice but to follow quickly and cover carefully, so as not to let his young master be hurt by the rough people.

After entering the temple, several famous people had already gathered around the side door to sign up.

Shen Mian opened the folding fan, fanned it lightly, and said, "It's right there, Fugui, go with Young Master."

He didn't take a few steps, but someone grabbed his wrist and dragged him to an open place. The book boy kept calling out behind him: "Master, slow down, slow down! Our son is weak, and we can't stand you pulling me like this!"

The man was dressed in dark clothes, his face was as deep as water, and he said in a cold voice: "You know that he is weak, but you still brought him here?"

Shen Mian blocked Fu Gui with her fan, and said with a smile, "I want to come, he can't stop me."

"Nonsense! The majestic prince of a country, actually..."

Shen Mian covered his mouth with her hand, and said, "My lord, I don't like to listen to people's preaching, you know it, how about saying a few words less?"

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Go back to the palace immediately."

"I won't go, it's rare to sneak out once, and I won't go back until I get the 'Flourishing Age Hibiscus'."

"If the crown prince wants that magnolia plant, he can send someone to Prince Jing's mansion tomorrow to take it away."

Shen Mian chuckled, sized him up and said, "Master Shizi, is he confident that he can beat Gu Yanzhi and win the first place?"

"Lu Chen naturally wants to get the flowers the crown prince wants."

Shen Mian closed the folding fan, tapped the palm of her hand lightly, and said slowly: "Guzi believes in the prince, but Guzi wants to hold his own things in his hands, and doesn't like to give others his hands."

These words seemed to vaguely imply something, Lu Chen's expression was slightly different, and when he looked up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still showing his usual cynical attitude, with a smile on his face, as if the flash of sharpness just now was just an illusion.

Shen Mian turned to her back and said, "Fugui, go and hand over the roster for your young master, if it's too late to register, I'll only ask you."

"Yes, I'm going right now, my servant, please take care of my young master."

Seeing Lu Chen nodding his head, Fugui hurriedly walked towards the registration office, but his back was faintly wet with sweat. Now the Holy Majesty is seriously ill, and Prince Jing is monopolizing the power in the court. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to give way. .

Seeing that it was almost noon, the sun was heavy, Shen Mian waved his fan, but he couldn't get rid of the heat, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, his face was fair, it was as gorgeous as a layer of rouge, he was already extremely beautiful His appearance is even more unbelievably beautiful.

From time to time, there were gazes from around, and Lu Chen walked to his side to block those probing gazes.

Shen Mian raised her lips, and asked knowingly: "Master, what are those people watching me do, could it be that there is something dirty on Gu's face?"

"Never before," Lu said silently, "Probably he regards the crown prince as his brother."

The so-called brother is the third gender in this world, born as a man, but can conceive offspring, but it is more difficult to conceive than a woman, and the way to distinguish is also simple. There is a bright red pregnancy mole on the back of brother's neck.

Shen Mian raised her eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "This is interesting, the son also feels like a brother?"

Lu Chen said: "Lu Chen dare not, it's just that the crown prince has insufficiency symptoms from his mother's womb, his body is weaker than ordinary people, and his appearance is outstanding, it is inevitable that there will be some misconceptions by clumsy eyes, the crown prince does not need to worry about it."

Shen Mian smiled and said: "It's okay, Gu is a person with narrow minds, just asking casually."

Fugui had handed over the roster, returned to him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there are quite a lot of people participating in the Danqing Banquet today, the only son of Wang Shangshu's family, the third son of Sima's family, and many famous people from Shangjing. "

This is to remind him that many people can recognize him today.

Shen Mian said: "So what, it's good to have acquaintances, if someone is alone, it depends on who dares to take the top spot and steal the limelight."

Fugui has a black line on his forehead, thinking to himself why are you here.

Lu Chen asked: "The prince really likes that magnolia plant?"

Shen Mian said indifferently: "It's not that I like it alone, it's for planting in the Wanfang Garden of my mother. She loves these exotic flowers the most, and also loves worshiping the Buddha. This flourishing hibiscus was cultivated by Master Wuchen himself. Buddha spirit, the queen mother will be satisfied."

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, the former queen passed away a year ago, so the crown prince's words made it seem as if the queen was still alive.

"A few days ago, the queen died, why didn't the prince go to worship?"

It was rumored in the palace that the prince was only interested in having fun, and even forgot the anniversary of the queen's death, so the emperor severely punished him.

Why not go to worship?Naturally, it was not him at that time, but that little idiot Shen Chengxin, who was maliciously poured a pot of wine the night before, and was so drunk that he passed out, so naturally he missed the ceremony.

Shen Mian lowered her eyelashes, and said: "Over the past year, Gu has always had the illusion that the queen mother is still alive and well. If Gu goes to worship, it seems to obliterate her in my heart. I really can't do it, and it's just Just ask father to punish me, just suffer alone."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Do you feel that Gu is weird like everyone else?"

Lu Chen was silent for a long time, and said, "My condolences to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"It's okay, no matter how big the grief is, it has already passed. Seeing that the registration time is about to close, the prince doesn't need to vote for the roster?"

Before Lu Chen could answer, Fugui behind him whispered, "My lord, the top three in the previous year did not need to vote for the roster, and those who voted for the roster may not be able to be selected."

Shen Mian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"There are hundreds of people who come to vote for the roster every year, but there are only a dozen or so who are qualified to be on the flower platform of the Hibiscus Flower Festival. They are all selected by several masters of Nanshan Temple. The basis is the few strokes on the roster, and it is said that the quality of the strokes can be seen in every stroke."

Shen Mian said angrily, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"The slave asked you to rewrite it earlier, but you didn't want it to be troublesome."

"..."

Lu Chen on the side coughed lightly, and said, "No hurry, the list hasn't been announced yet, why don't you follow me to the backyard for a vegetarian meal first."

"Just go alone, and don't bother the son."

Fugui whispered: "My lord, today's guests are not allowed to enter the backyard, and the royal family and nobles are no exception, and only the guests of Master Wuchen have this dignity!"

Shen Mian glanced back at him, Fugui hurriedly lowered her head.

Lu Chen put a smile on his lips and led the way ahead.

After entering the backyard, there were only a few people who were very familiar with Lu Chen, and they all came forward to salute and greet the prince, but few recognized him as the serious prince of the Eastern Palace.

There is a man named Zhai An, who is a celebrity at the moment, with a bold and unrestrained temperament, and has written many romantic poems.Seeing Shen Mian, he was slightly distracted. He was used to wandering around in the brothel and Chu Pavilion, so he didn't have any taboos, so he said casually: "This young master is really the most beautiful in the world! Master Wuchen's flourishing Furong is also compared. Let's go on, today's Danqing Banquet, why not just focus on beauties and add a bit of color, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

After saying that, he set up his pen and ink, and wanted to paint his portrait.

Just now he was smearing the ink on the rice paper, but someone grabbed his wrist suddenly, "Brother Di, wait a moment, this young master has not agreed yet, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Brother Di to do this."

Zhai An laughed and said, "I don't know who it is. It turns out that he is the number one scholar. He has such great authority!"

Gu Yanzhi said: "Don't dare, the son is still here, how can Gu talk about official authority."

Zhai An was taken aback for a moment, and finally remembered that the beauty was brought by Shizi. He raised his eyes and saw Lu Chen looking at him with a half-smile, with a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead, and hurriedly confessed: "Did Zhai drink too much earlier?" Zhan, Xu is drunk, I offend you so much, please forgive me."

Shen Mian clapped her palms and smiled, "It's a good one who was drunk and got drunk in Nanshan Temple, but he really respected the Buddha. He thought that there were elegant guests at the Danqing Banquet, but he never thought that Master Wuchen's guests also had disciples. It’s an eye opener.”

There are thorns in every word and every word of his words, which makes Zhai An very difficult to get off the stage.

"Ms. Zhai has already pleaded guilty, why is your son so aggressive and embarrassing?"

Shen Mian pursed her lips and said, "You should confess your crime, but as for me mocking you, that's my pleasure."

Zhai An's face was flushed red, and he was about to reason with him, but he heard a scolding that was neither light nor heavy.

"The Buddhist gate is quiet, what's the noise?"

With just one sentence, Lu Chen told Zhai An to stop the flags and drums, and he dared not make any further disturbances. He then accused Zhai, "it was Zhai who was rude, and he was full of energy after drinking. I'll go and rest for a while. See you at the Danqing Banquet."

After saying that, he cupped his fists and bid farewell.

Seeing this, everyone also dispersed.

Lu Chen said: "I'll take you to the meditation room to rest, and the Danqing Banquet will start after noon."

Shen Mian said: "I'm hungry."

Lu Chen paused, and said: "I asked someone to prepare a fast meal, but the food in the temple is probably not refined, if..."

Shen Mian waved her hand, "It's okay, I'm not picky."

Lu Chen was funny, everyone said that the person in the Eastern Palace made the entire imperial dining room anxious all day long, and there was no one more picky than him, and he spoke with confidence.

"If the son doesn't mind bothering you, Gu would also like to have a fast meal."

It was Gu Yanzhi.
