"This flute is too valuable. I can't accept it." Tang Xian'er smiled reservedly, "I appreciate your kindness."

"It's okay, take it if you like it."

Lin Yue looked indifferent.

"The jade flute is played on the Phoenix Tower, plum blossoms are falling in Chang'an in May, and Your Highness the Princess was born in Chang'an City. You are the best destination for this flute."

For a super white, rich and beautiful woman like Tang Xianer who comes from an imperial family, it is not enough to simply give her gifts. It is better to add some romantic things.

For example, the most lethal way for a time traveler to show off in another world is... reciting poetry.

Although I was a typical poor student in my previous life, fortunately I still have a few songs in my mind.

Lin Yue racked his brains to come up with a poem related to the flute.

After changing the location of the poem to Fengque Tower and Chang'an, he felt that it should have a good effect when spoken aloud.

really……

"I didn't expect you could write poetry. These two lines are so well written!" There was a hint of surprise in Tang Xian'er's eyes.

"Ding! Tang Xian'er's favorability towards the host has increased to 75 points!"

Ji Feiyan even nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Master of the God-killing Sword would have such talent. Xian'er, just accept it!"

"Thank you very much." Tang Xian'er smiled sweetly and caressed the Fengshuang Jade Flute lovingly.

Lin Yue smiled secretly. This poem increased his favorability by 10 points. This progress was so fast that it was a bit unexpected.

In this world that is poor in poetry, writing poetry is indeed a deadly way of showing off!

Wang Shaobai looked at Lin Yue warily.

"I didn't expect that this God-killing Sword Master could also write poetry. It seems that he has also fallen in love with Xian'er."

Wang Shaobai had been away from Chang'an for three years and had been dormant for such a long time before coming back just to win Tang Xianer's heart in one fell swoop.

When he heard today that Tang Yuan had specially held a banquet for Lin Yue, he felt a huge threat and hurriedly followed his father here.

Unexpectedly, the Queen would care so much about Lin Yue.

Moreover, even Tang Xian'er, who was always reserved and noble, showed obvious affection for Lin Yue.

This made Wang Shaobai feel very bad.

He raised his glass and took a sip. He decided that no matter what, he would snatch Tang Xian'er back from Lin Yue today.

He is confident that he can do this.

You have to know that he and Tang Xian'er have been in contact since childhood, and he has an innate advantage because he is close to the water.

Combined with the poem he wrote for Tang Xian'er three years ago with great effort, he believed that he could completely move Tang Xian'er.

"Lin Yue, Xian'er is destined to be mine. You can't take her away, and neither can Ye Chen!"

Wang Shaobai looked determined.

Just then, the most important person finally appeared.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

"Prince Jiancheng has arrived!"

Tang Yuan, dressed in a dragon robe, followed by Crown Prince Tang Chengqian, walked into the door one after another.

"Greetings to the Holy Lord!"

Everyone immediately stood up and knelt, only Lin Yue stood there and bowed.

Tang Chengqian frowned: "Master of the God-killing Sword, why don't you kneel?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yue quickly, showing a hint of surprise.

Lin Yue did not kneel down and kowtow to the queen just now, which violated the taboo of court etiquette.

Now he doesn't even kneel to the king of the Long Tang Empire. This is really too bold!

Now that Prince Jiancheng was questioning Lin Yue in public, if he gave an inappropriate answer, he would probably face a catastrophic disaster.

Lin Yue looked calm and smiled at Tang Yuan: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My master has ordered me to kneel only to the avenue, not to the king."

Lin Yue guessed that since Tang Yuan invited him to the banquet, he must have investigated his identity in detail before that.

Because of the system, Lin Yue is fully confident that Tang Yuan will definitely get nothing.

In that case, then talk about your background in a more exaggerated way.

It is so big that it towers over the Canglong Continent, making it impossible for anyone to verify and everyone believes it to be true.

And at this time.

Everyone's face changed when they heard this.

"Only kneel to the road, not to the king"

These eight words are really too arrogant!

The implication is that, let alone the Canglong Continent, even the Nine Heavens in the Upper Realm is not taken seriously.

The only thing that Lin Yue can respect is the illusory avenue that dominates everything!

A subtle expression appeared on Tang Yuan's face.

He did send top intelligence officers to check Lin Yue's identity.

The result surprised him greatly: he found nothing.

This can only prove one thing, that is, Lin Yue’s background is indeed very complicated.

Considering Lin Yue's identity as the master of the God-killing Sword, Tang Yuan felt that Lin Yue's background might be extremely huge, so huge that it was beyond imagination.

"It's okay, everyone please stand up." Tang Yuan smiled and raised his hand casually.

Crown Prince Tang Chengqian frowned, glanced at Lin Yue coldly, and followed Tang Yuan onto the platform.

Lin Yue glanced at Tang Chengqian and vaguely sensed a hint of hostility from the other party.

He suddenly remembered that although Tang Chengqian was a mediocre prince in the original novel, he was particularly concerned about his younger sister Tang Xianer.

Since childhood, he has been trying his best to please Tang Xianer.

One of the reasons was that Tang Xian'er was deeply favored by Tang Yuan, and he was somewhat trying to curry favor with his sister.

Another one, he is a typical sister-con.

His sister is so beautiful that he doesn't want anyone else to get involved with her.

From Wang Shaobai to Ye Chen, and then to Lin Yue, he would basically feel hostility towards anyone who had anything to do with Tang Xianer.

Lin Yue didn't care about it. Even in the original novel, Tang Chengqian only had the intention but not the courage to do evil to his own sister.

Later, before he became the king of the Long Tang Empire, Long Tang was overthrown by Nangong Hanyue, and he was killed on the spot by Nangong Hanyue.

Now that Lin Yue has traveled through time, this mediocre prince can only feel jealous.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the party."

After everyone was seated, Tang Yuan announced the official start of the banquet.

Afterwards, Tang Yuan and Ji Feiyan invited Lin Yue to drink respectively.

Such high-standard treatment made everyone present drool with envy.

And just after three rounds of drinks.

Wang Yaoxian took a deep look at Tang Xian'er and said, "Your Highness is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older. There is no one in the royal families of these ten countries who can compare with you!"

Tang Xian'er quickly said, "Uncle Wang, thank you for the compliment."

Wang Yao first glanced at Wang Shaobai and said, "Shaobai, you have been hiding in Bailu Academy for three years. Now that you meet Her Royal Highness the Princess again, why don't you offer her a glass of wine?"

Wang Shaobai understood and immediately picked up the wine glass and walked towards Tang Xianer: "Your Highness, Shaobai toasts you a glass."

Tang Xianer quickly picked up the cup and took a sip of rice wine.

Wang Shaobai, under the influence of alcohol, plucked up the courage to continue walking in front of Tang Xianer and said, "Princess, Shaobai has another gift for you today."

Seeing his affectionate look, a burst of discussion immediately broke out in the hall.

"Shaobai is the most gifted scholar in Longtang. He has studied in Bailu Academy for three years and has become a half-step literary saint. His poems and paintings are unparalleled in a century!"

"It is said that he wrote a poem for the princess three years ago with great effort. Is he going to send this poem today?"

"It would be great if that were the case. I have long wanted to see this masterpiece."

Wang Shaobai is not only the son of the cabinet minister Wang Yaoxian, but also the leader of the Four Heroes of Long Tang and a half-step literary saint.

His poetry and painting were both unparalleled in the past hundred years.

Everyone couldn't help but look forward to what kind of gift he would give to Tang Xian'er today.

I am even more looking forward to whether he and Tang Xian'er can create the spark of love at this banquet.

At this time, Wang Shaobai was only separated from Tang Xianer by a table.

His breathing was a little rapid, and he seemed a little excited: "Xian'er..."

He couldn't say any more, so he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

He handed it forward and mustered up the courage to say, "A thousand words cannot express this poem I wrote three years ago. I give it to you."
