Liang Yan led Miao Suwen away from Zhuque Square and walked towards Zhuque Gate.

The Vermilion Bird Gate is fifteen feet high. From a distance, it stands like a tower in front of everyone. Its majestic and magnificent place is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This Vermilion Bird District is a place where ordinary people live, and there are many different religions and all kinds of things, so the Vermilion Bird Gate in the palace is not open at all on weekdays. The situation today is special. In order to hold a "tea tasting party", the city gate is specially opened for these participants.

At this moment, many Confucian scholars arrived in front of the door. At first glance, they all seemed to be well-educated and experienced scholars, ranging from twelve or thirteen to seventy or eighty.

Among these Confucian scholars, some of them carried a lot of servants, and they were surrounded by them. They were obviously not poor students. But some people were alone, with a proud face and a bit arrogant.

Liang Yan took Miao Suwen into the Zhuque Gate, and an official immediately stepped forward to verify his identity with him. After all the procedures were completed, a young eunuch led the two to the inside of the palace.

The capital of Yue Kingdom covers a wide area and is hard for ordinary people to imagine. Even any large city in China cannot reach one tenth of the capital.

In the entire capital, the four areas of Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger account for only about 70% of the territory, while the most central palace accounts for 30%.

It can be said that this palace of the Emperor of the Liu family is comparable to the territory of three cities!

The little eunuch led Liang Yan and the others to walk for half a stick of incense, and saw a winding river in front of him. There was a small boat parked by the river, and an old man dressed in a boatman on the bed was resting.

The three of them soon arrived by the river. The old man seemed to have some sense. He opened his eyes and looked at everyone for a while, then laughed and said, "Sir, get on the boat quickly, the 'tea tasting party' is about to begin. Don't miss the time!"

Liang Yan nodded slightly and stepped onto the boat with Miao Suwen. The boatman blew in his hand and rowed his oar hard. The boat went up against the river.

Liang Yan just glanced at it and knew that this boatman was a martial arts person. The boat was going upstream and could maintain its speed without increasing or decreasing. Just by controlling internal strength, he could be among the forefront of the martial arts world.

After the eunuch saw Liang Yan away, he turned back to the Zhuque Gate, leaving three people and a boat, walking against the current in this small river, passing through some bamboo forests and peach gardens, which was quite interesting.

Although Miao Suwen was born in a third-rank official family, this was the first time he entered the palace. At this time, he looked around and occasionally chatted with Liang Yan, which was quite curious about the baby.

The three of them drove on the river for about half an hour, and suddenly they saw the river channel ahead gradually widening, and after walking for a cup of tea, their eyes suddenly became clear.

At the end of the river, a large lake slowly flowed into the lake. The misty waves were above the lake, and there were pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings in the center of the lake. There were also water corridors between the attics, and palace maids were coming and going.

Miao Suwen looked around and saw dozens of rivers that were winding from all directions, but they all converged in this big lake.

In some of the rivers, there are also small boats coming, either carrying one person or three or four people on the boat. Some people sing and chanting, some people chanting poems and writing, and some people sit upright on the bow and drink a pot of fine wine alone. The scholars have different styles.

"Sir, we're here!"

The shipboat at the bow smiled slightly, supported the oar in his hand, and then docked on the edge of the lake.

"Thank you."

Liang Yan bowed to the boatman, then led Miao Suwen out of the wooden boat and walked towards the grassland not far away.

On the grass, hundreds of elegant wooden tables were placed, with fruits, wine, and refreshments on the table. There was no shortage of all. There was also a layer of exquisitely crafted straw mats on the floor in front of the table, and many scholars had already taken their seats.

Liang Yan also chose a seat on the right and sat cross-legged. As for Miao Suwen, the woman naturally stood beside her obediently.

At this time, there were not many empty seats on the grass. It was obvious that almost all the people who participated in the "tea tasting party" had arrived. After waiting for the cup of tea, a pleasure boat slowly came from the upper reaches of the lake.

This pleasure boat is ten feet long and is as steady as the ground on the lake. There are many guards wearing armor standing on the bow of the boat. The waists of each ape's arms are condensed but not dispersed in their eyes. It is obvious that they are both masters of both internal and external skills and are highly skilled in martial arts.

Some young scholars present couldn't help but stare straight when they saw the pleasure boat approaching, even their breathing was a little rapid, looking forward to it.

The pleasure boat was near the shore, and hundreds of palace maids flocked out, neatly lined up in two rows. Then a young girl wearing a goose yellow gown and covered with a veil on her face walked out of the pleasure boat.

The girl is graceful and not very tall, but she is exquisite and surrounded by many palace maids, she slowly walked towards the grass where these Confucian scholars were.

"It's Princess Qinwan!"

Someone whispered in the straw meal, and someone sighed softly: "It's worth seeing the princess today!"

A person next to him joked: "I see Mr. Qin's appearance and literary talent. Why don't you take the opportunity to show your face? Maybe you will be attracted by the princess and be a handsome prince consort. From now on, you will be overwhelmed by the sky and reach the sky in one step."

Before the man had answered before, the other person laughed and said, "It is rumored that Princess Qinwan was born with beautiful beauty and was the pearl in her hand today. She is very pampered on weekdays. It's not that I'm sarcastic about you, I'm afraid that like Brother Qin, I can't let Princess Qinwan lift her eyelids."

This person openly mocked him. The man was naturally angry before and immediately retorted, and made a lot of noise during the meal.

Liang Yan didn't expect that Princess Qinwan's charm was so great that it made these self-proclaimed noble Confucian scholars break their faces for her, and they couldn't help but secretly amaze them.

At this time, Princess Qinwan had already walked into a pavilion on the grass. The pavilion was hanging down with pearl curtains, covering up everything inside. Everyone saw a vague figure sitting down in the middle of the pavilion, and then a gentle and pleasant voice slowly came out:

"At the invitation of my father, all Gaoxian came here to attend the tea tasting event. Qin Wan was very grateful. Today, tea instead of wine, so I would like to wish you a cup of wise men!"

When some young Confucian scholars present heard this, many of them were excited and immediately raised their wine glasses on the table and greeted the wonderful people in the pavilion. Another shouted: "Princess Qinwan is very courteous to us, so I should drink this glass all the time!"

After hearing this, Liang Yan frowned slightly. This voice gave him a sense of déjà vu, but if you really want to think about it carefully, you really can't remember where you have heard it.
