The banquet this time was set up on a piece of grass within the Mansion of Gaochang Marquis Garden. There were neat tables in the surroundings and all sorts of delicacies and rare fresh fruits were placed on the tables.

In the middle of the garden was a large carpet embroidered with peonies and auspicious clouds.

Gaochang Marquis and Eldest Princess Pingyang brought Feng Linyuan, Feng Jingye and the remaining princes to the north wing seats, and also sent people to lead Bai Zheng and her wife to the right of the main seat. Zheng Yan brought Bai Di and Su Muxiao to the left of the main seat, while the remaining three seats were filled with young masters who had come to propose.

"Zheng, why did you take so long to come out just now?" The Madame Lin asked as soon as they sat down.

Because they were not summoned by the Gaochang Marquis and the Gaochang Marquis, Bai Yinan and the Madame Lin were led to the side hall by the butler and waited until now.

Bai Zheng did not want them to worry, she only laughed: "Prince came a bit late, we naturally dragged it out a bit, after all, this feast, will only start after Prince arrives."

The Madame Lin nodded his head: "So that's how it is. I thought you said something wrong and offended a noble."

Bai Yinan laughed: "You don't know, but your mother is dying of anxiety. She was afraid that you would run into some noble person, and almost force me to go challenge the great hall."

Bai Zheng's heart warmed, her head leaning on Madame Lin's shoulder as she said: "Mother, right now, my daughter is the most popular person in the eyes of the noble people, those noble people are trying to curry favor with my daughter, they will not easily make a fuss about it, Mother, do not worry."

"You!" Madame Lin poked Bai Zheng's forehead with her index finger and laughed helplessly.

Bai Zheng cuddled her head against Madame Lin's body, smiling daintily. However, her gaze swept across the fiery eyed Young Masters, and sure enough, she found a handsome and eye-catching Soong Yiqing at the southern wing of the guest seating right in front of her.

Soong Yiqing had obviously noticed her gaze, at the same time, he revealed a bright smile on his white teeth, the fan in his hand danced gently, it looked extremely elegant and elegant.

Bai Zheng frowned, this guy was dressed in such ostentatious attire, did she forget her purpose for coming today?

Since Feng Linyuan and Soong Yiqing were still coming here today, it clearly meant that Mo Lee gained nothing last night.

Today, he had intentionally worn an inconspicuous light green dress to steal medicine. Even if Feng Linyuan had definitely sent out a few Dark Guard s to sneak into every corner of the Mansion of Gaochang Marquis to search, an extra person still had a lot of hope. Before they find the Bone-penetrating Herb, they had to put in a lot of effort.

Bai Zheng turned her head and glanced at Feng Linyuan who was seated in the main seat. Feng Linyuan was leisurely sipping his tea, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. That calm and composed look of his caused Bai Zheng to suddenly have the illusion that she was meddling in other people's business.

Feng Jingxuan raised his wine cup and said to Feng Jingyi: "Fifth brother, come."

Feng Jingyi immediately raised his wine cup: "Third Elder Brother."

The moment the cups clashed, Feng Jingxuan's voice was heard. "Didn't Fifth Brother say that he couldn't come over?"

Feng Jingyi's face stiffened. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Feng Jingye say from the other side: "I heard that Fifth Brother also wanted to marry Miss Bai, so I called him over. Fourth Brother has finally settled down, Fifth Brother can't stay empty forever."

Feng Jingxuan's face changed, the meaning of those words, did it mean that Feng Jingyi had joined the side of Crown Prince Feng Jingye?

One Mansion of State Duke Chen was not enough for Chen Yanzhi, and even the crown prince himself did not have enough Young Masters, yet he still had to add Feng Jingyi?

Feng Jingyi lowered his head. If possible, he didn't want to join them in the battle to snatch the direct line of descent, but he was still unable to do the same.

"Young masters." Seeing that the atmosphere had changed between the few princes, the Gaochang Marquis said in a clear voice: "Young Masters, it has been hard on you all.

The entire arena instantly quietened down as everyone looked at Gaochang Marquis.

This year's grand gathering is filled with many heroes and experts. All of the gongzi are young heroes, and many of them are dragons and phoenixes, making it difficult for Assistant Minister Bai, Madam Bai and the rest of the Third Miss of Bai Family to make a decision. "

Everyone's eyes landed on Bai Yinan, Madame Lin and Bai Zheng. That blazing expression, even Bai Zheng, who was an outstanding graduate who had lectured in front of thousands of people, could not stand it anymore. Madame Lin shrunk her neck and buried her head deep into the ground.

"This marquis knows how much love and adoration young masters have for the Third Miss of Bai Family, and is deeply moved by this. It's just that a good girl does not marry a second husband. If Young Masters want to win the heart of Third Miss of Bai Family today, you all need to compete. "

When everyone heard this, they all rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms together.

"I wonder how Master Hou plans on competing?" A young man dressed in grey asked.

Gaochang Marquis stroked his beard and smiled lightly. With a "pa pa pa" sound, he clapped his hands and saw the maids walking over from all four sides, placing a white Silk Cloth and brush in front of each of the young masters.

"Assistant Minister Bai hopes that Third Miss of Bai Family can marry a young master who is proficient in both arts and arts. So today, we need to compete in the Zither, Chess, Poem, Painting, Riding, Shooting, and Sword Seven techniques. "

Feng Jingyi was speechless, "This competition is even more thorough than the civil and military top scholar."

Feng Jingye laughed disapprovingly: "Fifth brother, do not worry, among all the people here, who can compare to Fifth brother?"

Feng Jingxuan put down his cup and laughed coldly: "I'm afraid Second Elder Brother has forgotten that back then, the literary style was not inferior to the saints of the dynasty.

Feng Jingye's pupils contracted for a moment before he laughed: "This prince will naturally not forget the name that Dingyuan Marquis had given to the world. Just that, I think today's trip to Third Younger Brother was wasted. "

Feng Jingxuan scoffed coldly, and no longer spoke.

As the center of the conversation, Feng Linyuan acted as if he did not hear anything as he leisurely sipped on his tea.

Feng Jingyi carefully turned his head to look at Feng Linyuan, but it was as if he was afraid that would notice him, and immediately withdrew his gaze.

The Gaochang Marquis's voice still continued, "Everyone has already placed a brush and ink in front of you and the painting should be compared. Young Masters only need to draw up one painting and compose a poem beside it within the time it takes an incense stick to burn. "

A dark wooden table had been set up on the carpet in the middle of the garden. An unlit incense stick was stuck into the incense burner on the table. A servant was standing guard by the side with a spark in his hand.

"Is everyone ready? Let's begin!" With that said, Gaochang Marquis used his eyes to signal the servant to light up the incense in the incense burner.

Suddenly, the entire garden became silent. In the huge garden, the only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of Silk Cloth flipping and the rubbing of pens.

Feng Jingyi also lowered his head, the tip of his brush was covered with ink, he started to draw on the Silk Cloth.
