Chapter 350 Embarrassment
Those who can enter the inner palace are all strong candidates for this license competition. After a careful scan, there are about fifty seats.
It's not the kind of round table seats, but each group has a wide table, more than fifty tables, surrounded by a wide circle on the green lawn.
Golden bowls of jade chopsticks, delicious delicacies, and fine nectar are all over the table.
Entering the arena, the others were still busy socializing and offering gifts, but Xu Yi grabbed the chopsticks and started to move.
There were classes in the previous life, and it is the same in the current life. Many delicacies are below a certain level, even if you have money, it is absolutely difficult to buy them.
Right now, the seats in the Duke's Mansion are extremely noble, Xu Yi has always been greedy for food and drink, how could he let it go.
The rose lamb of the Northland, the snowflake suckling pig of the Tianshan Mountains, the pure-blood calf of the Qingqing Grassland, the deep-sea purple fish, the golden scallop of the Wenhu Lake...
Cooked by the royal chef of the palace, it is like a piece of exquisite art when it is presented on the table.
Fang sandwiched a piece of shiny, trembling, but fragrant lamb slices in his mouth, and his taste buds exploded.
Xu Yi's chopsticks were like lightning, he ate with a smile on his face, and his mind was full of thoughts, all of which were buried in this unparalleled delicacy.
In an instant, several plates were emptied. It was because this guy was reluctant to chew peonies, so he deliberately slowed down. Otherwise, if he swallowed it, he would just pick up the plate and pour it into his mouth.
Xia Zimo couldn't stand it anymore, it was too embarrassing, why couldn't this guy feel the disgusting eyes around him?
"Hey, I said can you take a break, what are you doing here? Why don't you know how to worry!"
Xia Zimo grabbed Xu Yi's chopsticks.
"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will worry about it tomorrow!"
Xu Yi set up a fish fillet that was crystal clear like jade, and handed it to Xia Zimo, "Try it!"
Xia Zimo stared at him in a daze, and his thoughts drifted to the faint mountainside again. He seemed to see that hateful little thief in Taoist robes and eloquent, and couldn't help opening his mouth to grab the fish fillet.
Suddenly, Xu Yi's chopsticks fell on the table, Xia Zimo hurriedly turned his head away, the delicious purple fish was in his mouth, like a wax ball, his jade face was blush all over, until it reached the depths of his neck like snow satin.
At this moment, the butler reappeared, stood in the middle circle, clasped his fists together, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, relatives and friends, Gao Yi, for coming to attend my young master's birthday. All the distinguished guests, on behalf of my young master, I would like to toast you all." As he said, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
Everyone drank with them, and Xu Yi also took the opportunity to fill up a glass to soothe his frantic heartstrings.
Xia Zimo still lowered his head, not daring to look at him. Xu Yi wanted to ease the embarrassment, but he couldn't do it.
Suddenly, there was another person in the middle circle, and it was the Second Young Master Zhu who was dressed in brocade attire.
"Thank you all for coming here to celebrate my sister's birthday in spite of your busy schedule. It's rare that there are so many guests and guests here. How can we parachute into Marigold to face the scorching sun? Why don't we play a game."
As soon as Zhu Ergongzi said this, his style of painting was completely ruined, and there were bursts of whispering.
However, due to winning the bid in previous years, the Duke's Mansion tried to be as elegant as possible, but this time it actually put "an important gift" on the table.
"In my opinion, the surname Xiao and the surname Zhu must be ghosts, wanting you to look good!"
Xia Zimo whispered, "I can count, the surname Zhu glanced at you four times intentionally or unintentionally."
Xu Yi said with a smile, "There are quails, you dog-headed military advisor, why worry about me!"
Xia Zimo's willow eyebrows stood upright, "The thief said, you can have fun, just wait for you to capsize in the gutter!"
Both of them deliberately played down the previous embarrassment.
Xu Yi salivated, "I'm capsized, will you save me or not!"
Xia Zimo glanced at him, and Bai Mei suddenly came to life.
Second Young Master Zhu was almost stupefied, indeed, the moth he tossed out was heading towards Xu Yi, this was exactly Xiao Fushen's idea.
At this moment, he purposely looked at Xu Yi in order to cause Xu Yi to be alarmed. Unexpectedly, he was flirting and cursing, and he was getting tired of it. His "eyes" seemed to be thrown to a blind man.
"It's good for you!"
Second Young Master Zhu gave Xu Yi a hard look, and said loudly, "That's right, what this friend said is right, how can a party be without poetry, such a grand event lacks poetry to commemorate the grand event."
Xia Zimo's small mouth opened suddenly, and her beautiful eyes widened.
"Now I know I'm afraid? It's too late, since I'm begging for nothing to come in, let's see how I will deal with you!"
Second Young Master Zhu sneered in his heart, and said, "Everyone is rich, but we have limited time, and my father will come to thank me later, so let's play a simple game. I have three jade balls here, and I will throw them with my eyes closed. If the jade ball falls in front of someone's case, I will ask someone from that table to present a speech as a representative."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and threw the three green jade balls around in the air, and finally divided them into three directions.
One landed on the case where Xiao Fuchen was, one landed on the case of a young man in Confucian uniform, and one landed firmly in front of Xu Yi.
Throwing with eyes closed, not to mention Qi Sea Realm fighters, even fighters at the forging stage, can take another look and throw to the preset position in their hearts.
Xia Zimo lowered his head suddenly, his fragrant shoulders kept shaking, Xu Yi looked directly at Second Young Master Zhu who had opened his eyes and looked from afar, with a stern expression on his face.
"Please receive the seat of Yuqiu and send a representative!"
Suddenly, the young man in the Confucian uniform stood up and strode forward.
There was a murmur among the audience.
"Why is it him, this scene is a bit interesting."
"Liu Jiubian, the number one talented scholar in the south, Jieyuan of Jingzhou, a strong contender for the top scholar in this discipline!"
"The Liu family is also a giant family in Jingzhou, and the imperial concubine is from the Liu family. The Duke's government made this move to praise Liu Jiubian and create momentum for the imperial examination!"
“…………………”
"Hugging grass and beating rabbits, I don't want to delay anything!"
Xia Zimo whispered, "You have to be tense this time, just follow my wink."
"What nonsense, who is the rabbit!"
Before the words were finished, someone at Xiao Fuchen's table also stepped forward. The paradox is that it was not Xiao Fuchen who appeared, but a man in green robe. As soon as he entered the stage, Xia Zimo grabbed Xu Yi's arm and murmured, "The competition is over, the comparison is over..."
Xu Yi snorted coldly and knocked his hand off, "You bitch, don't compare yourself to me!"
"Are you jealous? Seriously!"
Xia Zimo slobbered at her face.
The green-robed man was indeed extremely handsome. The figure who had almost stepped out of the painting, and the carved young face, had vicissitudes that were hardly commensurate with his appearance, making it impossible to detect his age.
"Who is this man, never seen before?"
"At the same table as Young Master Xiao, Master Xiao has always been famous in poetry, but he didn't make it. Obviously, this person is still above Young Master Xiao, so he should not be underestimated."
"..."
The Second Young Master Zhu was very satisfied with the shock in the field. He pulled the green-robed man and rushed to Liujiujiu, "Jiubian, this is Li Xiuluo. He is superb in martial arts and poetry. If he hadn't been in the examination room, he would be your rival. This time we meet, the two of you will have a good time and get close."
