"Emperor, can you take a look at this couplet?"

Empress Dowager Zhou handed the next couplet to Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan took it and looked at it very seriously, bowing his head slightly.

"Good. He raised his eyes and glanced at the girl in green, his deep gaze lingering for a moment on the purple-red birthmark on the other's face.

The girl in green seemed to notice his gaze, her long eyelashes drooped, covering her eyes that were as pure as water, her eyes looked at her nose, her nose looked at her heart, and even the wind blew the hair on her face, she didn't reach out to pull it up.

She was neither flattered by the inferiority of her ugly countenance, nor flattered by the emperor's attention to her.

Her face is not red, her heart is not beating, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and she is not frightened.

's down-to-earth demeanor and appearance made Empress Dowager Zhou feel even more appreciative.

is so dignified and polite, better than when she was young, she is really a rare good girl with both talents and virtues!

"Hey, if she hadn't been so ugly and crippled, even if she had a humble background, the mourning family would have chosen her as the queen, but she was ......," Empress Dowager Zhou thought to herself.

Her gaze couldn't help but drift to the green-clothed girl again, but as soon as she saw the birthmark on her face, she felt her heart skip a beat.

"That's it, what's the use of being talented, the emperor will never look down on her, not to mention that the queen of the Western Chu Kingdom can't be an ugly monster in any case, let alone a cripple!

Empress Dowager Zhou thought about it, but decided to exclude the girl in green as an alternative.

She looked at Xia Yuyan with a smile.

"Miss Xia, the mourning family seems to have made the next couplet, why haven't you started writing for a long time?"

Xia Yuyan was pondering the lower link that the girl in green was right against, and found that the other party was really ingenious, and the lower link she came up with was compared with the other party, and she was compared to it.

She also saw the lame foot of the girl in green, and the shocking birthmark on the other party's face, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Originally, she had already given up, but when she saw the green-clothed girl describe it like this, and heard the Empress Dowager Zhou asking herself, a glimmer of hope rose again.

"Yes, the Queen Mother, Yu Yan will write the following couplet. ”

Xia Yuyan stepped forward, picked up the pen and wrote out the next couplet that she had already thought of, handed it to the eunuch on the side, and then stood respectfully and solemnly.

She knew that Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to see her next link by name, just to promote herself and give herself a chance to show her face, and she didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What if the girl in green is better than herself?

With her dignity and her disability, the Queen Mother will never look down on her, not only the Queen Mother will not look down on her, but the emperor will not look at her more.

She felt a slight smug in her heart, and the corner of her eyes glanced at the girl in green.

"That's right, that's good!" Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Xia Yuyan's next link, and she was also amazed.

Although this couplet is not as neat and ingenious as the girl in green, it can be regarded as a masterpiece.

"Yu Yan, you really deserve to be the first talented woman in our Kyoto, this couplet is good! People say that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, like Yu Yan, you are a talented, virtuous and good-looking girl, and the mourning family has lived at this age, and I have never seen a few. ”
