Those who can enter the inner palace are all strong candidates in this competition for licenses. 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, surrounding a wide circle on the green lawn.

Golden bowls and jade chopsticks, delicious delicacies, fine wine and jade liquid, covered the table.

After entering the venue, others were still busy socializing and giving greetings. Xu Yi grabbed the chopsticks and started.

There were classes in previous lives, and it is the same in this life. There are many delicious delicacies that are difficult to buy even if you have money if you don't reach a certain level.

At present, the banquet in the Duke's Mansion is extremely noble. Xu Yi has always been greedy for food and drink, so how can he let it go?

Rose lambs from the North, snow suckling pigs from the Tianshan Mountains, pure-blood calves from the Qingqing Grassland, deep-sea purple fish, Wenhu golden scallops...

Cooked by the royal chef and presented to the table, it looks like a piece of exquisite art.

Fang sandwiched a piece of shiny, trembling, but fragrant lamb slices, and his taste buds exploded.

Xu Yi's chopsticks were like electricity, he ate with a smile on his face, full of worries, all buried in this unparalleled delicious food.

In a blink of an eye, several plates were cleared. This guy was reluctant to chew peonies and deliberately slowed down. Otherwise, he would just pick up the plate and dump it into his mouth.

Xia Zimo couldn't stand it anymore. This was too embarrassing. Why couldn't this guy feel the disgusted looks around him?

"Hey, I asked you, can you take a break? What are you doing here? Why don't you worry?"

The chopsticks of Xu Yi, the head of the Xia Zimo family. "If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow."

Xu Yi set up a piece of fish fillet that was as crystal clear as jade and handed it to Xia Zimo, "Let's try it."

Xia Zimo stared at him blankly, his thoughts wandering to the deep mountainside again, and he seemed to have seen the hateful little thief in Taoist robes with a well-spoken mouth. He couldn't help but open his mouth to grab the fish fillet.

Bang, Xu Yi's chopsticks fell on the table, and Xia Zimo quickly turned his head away. The delicious purple fish was held in his mouth, like a wax ball, and the red glow spread across his jade face, until it reached the depths of his neck, which was like snow satin.

At this moment, the chief steward appeared again, standing in the middle circle, clasping his fists, and said loudly, "Thank you very much to all my relatives and friends, Gao Yi, for coming to attend my young master's birthday. All distinguished guests, on behalf of my humble master,

Here’s a toast to you all.” As he said that, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

Everyone was drinking with them, and Xu Yi also took the opportunity to fill up a cup to soothe his frantic heartstrings.

Xia Zimo still lowered his head, not daring to look at him. Xu Yi wanted to relieve the embarrassment, but he couldn't do it.

Suddenly, there was another person in the middle circle, it was the Second Young Master Zhu in a brocade uniform.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday. It's rare to have such a large gathering of distinguished guests and so many guests. How can we parachute a golden lamp to face the scorching sun? Why don't we just play a game."

As soon as Mr. Zhu Er said these words, his painting style was completely ruined, and there were a series of whispers below.

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 "a heavy gift" on the table.

"In my opinion, it's the guy named Xiao and the guy named Zhu who are playing tricks on you. They want you to look good."

Xia Zimo whispered, "I have counted that Zhu glanced at you four times, intentionally or unintentionally."

Xu Yi smiled and said, "If there are quails like you, a dog-headed military advisor, why should I worry?"

Xia Zimo's eyebrows stood up, "The thief said, just have fun, I'll wait for you to capsize in the gutter."

Both of them intended to downplay their previous embarrassment.

Xu Yi drooled and said, "I capsized, will you save me?"

Xia Zimo glanced at him, and Baimei suddenly became angry.

The Second Young Master Zhu was almost furious. Indeed, the moth he created was headed for Xu Yi. This was exactly Xiao Fuchen's idea.

At this moment, he deliberately looked at Xu Yi, just to cause Xu Yi to panic. Unexpectedly, he was flirting and flirting, and his "coquettish look" was like throwing it to a blind man.

"You will feel better"

The Second Young Master Zhu gave Xu Yi a sharp look and said loudly, "Yes, this friend is right. How can a party be without poetry? Such a grand gathering is in need of poetry to commemorate the grand event."

Xia Zimo's small mouth suddenly opened, and her beautiful eyes widened.

"Are you afraid now? It's too late. Since you are so desperate to come in, let's see how I can deal with you."

The Second Young Master Zhu sneered in his heart and said, "You all have a lot of beauty in your belly, but our time is limited. My father will come to thank you later. Let's just play a simple game. I have three jade balls here. I close my eyes."

Throwing the jade ball, whoever's table lands in front of the table will be asked to send one person from that table to present a speech as a representative."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and tossed the three green jade balls, spinning around in the air, and finally threw them in three directions.

One fell on the desk where Xiao Fushen was, one fell on the desk where a young man in Confucian uniform was in the middle, and one fell steadily in front of Xu Yi.

When throwing with eyes closed, not to mention Qi Sea level warriors, even body training stage warriors can take another look and then throw to the preset position in their mind with eyes closed.

Xia Zimo lowered his head suddenly, his shoulders shaking constantly. Xu Yi looked directly at Mr. Zhu Er, who had opened his eyes and looked at him from a distance, with a stern expression on his face.

"Please receive Yuqiu's seat and send a representative."

After a while, a young man in Confucian uniform stood up and strode forward.

There was a murmur in the audience. "Why is it him? This scene is interesting." "Liu Jiubian, the most talented man in the south, Jieyuan of Jingzhou, a strong contender for the number one scholar in modern science." "The Liu family is also a giant family in Jingzhou.

The concubine of the current dynasty is from the Liu family, and the Duke's government made this public statement to favor Liu Jiubian and build momentum for the imperial examination."

"……………………"

"I don't want to delay anything while hunting rabbits."

Xia Zimo whispered, "You have to tighten up this time and act based on my eyes."

"What nonsense, who is the rabbit?"

Before he finished speaking, someone came up to Xiao Fuchen's table. Paradoxically, it was not Xiao Fuden who appeared, but a man in green robe. As soon as he came on the stage, Xia Zimo grabbed Xu Yi's arm and murmured, "Let's compare."

Well, the competition is over..."

Xu Yi snorted coldly and knocked his hand off, "You're a sissy, don't compare yourself with me."

"Are you jealous? You're serious, aren't you?"

Xia Zimo's face was filled with saliva.

The man in the green robe is indeed extremely handsome. He looks like a figure who just stepped out of a painting. His youthful face is carved out of a painting, but his face is covered with vicissitudes of life that are not commensurate with his appearance, making it impossible to detect his age. "Who is this man?

Have you never met?" "I was sitting at the table with Young Master Xiao, who has a name for poems, but he didn't even come up. Obviously, this person is still above Young Master Xiao and should not be underestimated." "..."

The Second Young Master Zhu was very satisfied with the shock. He pulled the green-robed man and said to Liu Jiubian, "Jiubian, this is Li Xiuluo. He is a master of martial arts and a master of poetry and calligraphy. If he didn't have ambitions in the examination room, he would be your formidable rival."
