With the guards leading them, the guards asked them directly into the door without asking much questions.

Li Xiuran followed the guards through the palace and came to a hall where there were lights and decorations. The ninth prince sat on his head in gorgeous clothes, chatting and laughing.

Several young men wearing various beautiful robes were watching the gentle and gentle young men sitting on the left and right.

The ninth prince in the palace said last time that the poetry meeting also invited several young talents. It seemed that they were the ones... Li Xiuran knew it in his heart and stepped into the door.

"The lower official has met His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Hurry up and give up the gift, haha, I have always felt regretful when I invited Li Shidu to the palace last time. I have always been in a position to regret. Today, I was able to invite Li Shidu to come over, which is considered to make up for this regret."

The ninth prince looked at Li Xiuran who was entering the door and was happy. He stood up and greeted him in person.

"It is the honor of the emperor to be praised by His Highness." Li Xiuran said modestly.

"Haha, I've left a seat for you, sit down and talk." The Ninth Prince smiled and pulled Li Xiuran to the first position on the right.

There was no one on the seat, obviously it was reserved specifically for him.

He greeted him in person and left the closest position to him. He was very generous in his attitude of being a wise man... Li Xiuran said in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Xiuran bowed and thanked her, walked to the seat and sat down.

The ninth prince glanced at the maid next to him: "There are all people here, let's serve wine and food."

"yes."

The maid bowed and responded quickly out of the hall.

"Mr. Li's name is so well-known. I have always wanted to see it, but unfortunately no one can help me introduce it, and I have never been able to do it. It is a great honor to see it in His Royal Highness's Mansion today."

On the left side, a young man wearing an ice-blue brocade robe with a jade-like face and a tall face, bowed to him with a smile.

The ninth prince sat back on his seat and laughed at him, "Shidu Li was afraid he didn't know him yet, so I would recommend him on his behalf. This is the youngest son of Zhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. "

"It turns out it's Mr. Zhai, fortunately." Li Xiuran bowed and replied.

"Wen Ruxin, I have met Lord Li."

On the left side of Zhai Jun, a young man wearing a long blue gown and holding a bun, with a thin face, but a lonely and arrogant look faintly in his eyes, bowing to Li Xiuran:

"I heard that Lord Li is not only good at solving cases, but also has great literary talent. If you can see him today, please give me some advice."

Although he was humble, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his arrogant eyes. He looked at him and wanted to compete with him.

The ninth prince smiled and said, "Mr. Wen is a student of the Imperial College. Although he is not as good as the top student, he has already won the provincial examination this year. He is ranked among the top in the Imperial College and is very talented. I believe he will be able to go to high school in the spring exam next year."

No wonder I am so arrogant. It turns out that I am really a bit good and my eyes are quite dissatisfied. Did I hear that I am good at writing poetry, or did I see that I am about the same age as you, but I am already in the sixth rank. I am envious, jealous and hateful, and I want to compete with me?

It turns out that literati are inferior to each other...

But you found the wrong partner, I am just a martial artist... Li Xiuran secretly complained and smiled faintly: "Today, His Highness the Ninth Prince held a poetry meeting to make friends with poetry, so there is no need to give advice. Let's discuss with each other."

Wen Ruxin's eyes were slightly tight, and she didn't say that she couldn't give her advice, but she said that there was no need. The subtext is that, do you think your literary talent is indeed above me?

A stronger desire to win and lose instantly arose in Wen Ruxin's heart.

"Haha, I have read several masterpieces by Lord Li, especially the article "Yu Linling", which is really a masterpiece with the past and the essays. I feel ashamed of myself. Today I meet Lord Li, I have to ask for advice."

On the right side of Li Xiuran, a cheerful young man wearing a blue shirt and a bun in his hair, said to Li Xiuran with a frank look on his face.

The ninth prince smiled and said, "This is Qin Chuan, who is also studying in the Imperial College. He is a classmate of Mr. Wen. He is also a high school juren in the provincial examination this year and is also a young talent."

This is a normal person... Li Xiuran looked at him and smiled and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Qin, so lucky to know."

In addition to the three, there were two other people on the scene. Under the recommendation of the ninth prince, they both met Li Xiuran. One was also a student of the Imperial College, named Jie Xiyuan, and the other was the second son of the Minister of Rites, named Liu Xun.

Li Xiuran also gave the gifts one by one.

A row of maids wearing long strapless skirts, covered with a layer of gauze, revealing their snow-white collarbone and neck, and their faces were all bright and charming maids, carrying lotus steps to the hall, and putting the food and food on the table in front of several people.

There were not many dishes, and several people sat in separate cases. Each of them served six dishes, but they were all delicacies, exquisite, and full of colors, fragrance and flavor.

Li Xiuran suddenly remembered the women rescued in the cellar of Changlefang. They were all hungry and thin, which was in sharp contrast to the ones in front of him. Li Xiuran suddenly lost her appetite.

In addition to the dishes, there was also a pot of wine. The maid left immediately after serving the dishes. Several maids came forward and came to the side of the people and knelt on the ground, picked up the pot and poured a glass of wine for the people.

The ninth prince smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "You are all outstanding young talents from the younger generation in the capital. It is rare to get together today. Let's drink a drink together first. I will respect you."

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is so polite. It is our honor to be invited to attend the meeting. We should be honored by Youth the Ninth Prince." Zhai Jun picked up the wine glass and said with a modest smile.

Li Xiuran also picked up the wine glasses with Wen Ruxin and others, toasted the ninth prince, and then drank it all in one go.

"Since it's a poetry gathering, I'm bound to write a poem tonight, otherwise we'll have a drink to help you liven up, how about it?" The Ninth Prince put down his wine glass and suggested with a smile.

"It's really boring to sit down, it's great to have a drink and have fun." Wen Ruxin nodded and agreed.

"Politics and Poetry Meetings, we should naturally recite poems and write them. His Highness the Ninth Prince is the master. It is better to be the magistrate tonight." Qin Chuan looked at the Ninth Prince and bowed his hand to suggest.

They are all scholars, and they are young talents selected by the Ninth Prince. It is naturally not difficult to write a poem. Zhai Jun and others nodded and agreed, and elected the Ninth Prince as the official.

I am afraid that the ninth prince will write poems as well... Li Xiuran was so happy to see it.

Since it is a poetry meeting, it is inevitable to comment after writing the poem. As the prince, if he also writes poems, it would be a shame if he writes it well.

It is definitely not possible to directly point out the preaching. This is the prince, and he is one of the three princes who have the most hope of fighting for the throne. He slapped him in the face in public and would not be able to mess around in the future.

Flattery is not suitable. They are all scholars, so they still need this little face.

In contrast, it is better to choose him out.
