Chapter 449: The First Chance to Show Your Face

"The Queen Mother has arrived, and the Emperor has arrived!"

With the eunuch's loud voice, Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan slowly walked into the Huxin Pavilion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Shen Ning was extremely bored.

Don't look at the three girls who look smart, but they are all stupid, and even the sarcastic words are repeated over and over again, there are no new tricks, she is tired of hearing them.

At this time, seeing that Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan had finally returned, she suddenly perked up.

"How many of you have finished eating?" Empress Dowager Zhou looked kind and peaceful, looked at the four girls in the Huxin Pavilion with a smile and looked at them one by one, and finally her eyes fell on the table in front of Shen Ning, her eyes stagnant.

There is no doubt that she was not idle when she was arguing just now, and the melon and fruit peels and shells were piled up on the table.

She raised her hand, and the eunuchs and palace maids rushed in, removed the banquet from the table, and then spread the purple-red satin, and placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various pigments.

The three girls' expressions suddenly became nervous, knowing that today's main event was about to begin.

Empress Dowager Zhou sat in the chair, and Su Jin served fragrant tea.

She lifted the lid of the cup and gently plucked the floating leaves on it, took a slow sip, and placed the teacup on the table.

The three girls kept holding their breath, looking at the Empress Dowager Zhou without blinking, their hearts pounding, nervous and excited.

They have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and it is finally an opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor, and they must seize it to firmly attract the emperor's attention to themselves.

The three of them lowered their heads slightly, their cheeks flushed with excitement, but their expressions were dignified and self-controlled.

Empress Dowager Zhou's gaze looked over the faces of the three girls one by one, and then fell on Xia Yuyan's body.

"Just now the mourning family and the emperor walked in the garden, and saw the flowers blooming, bees and butterflies flying, a good scene full of spring, Miss Xia, you have the reputation of the first talented woman in Kyoto, seeing such a beautiful scenery, it must be a great poetry, Miss Xia is willing to give a spring poem to add a touch of color to this bright spring?"

She finally spoke slowly, and was the first to call Xia Yuyan's name.

Xia Yuyan lowered her eyelids, hid the excitement in her heart, stood up generously, and bowed to the Empress Dowager Zhou and Mochuan Yingying, her voice as tactful as a yellow warbler.

Yu Yan is willing. ”

She was secretly grateful to the Empress Dowager Zhou for giving her the first opportunity to show her face, as long as she made a good poem, were she afraid that she would not be able to attract the emperor's attention?

She is confident in her appearance and even more confident in her talent.

Liu Wanting bit her lip and suddenly said: "Queen Mother, Wan'er also heard about Sister Xia's name, and also heard that Sister Xia can become a poem within seven steps, why doesn't the Queen Mother let Sister Xia take seven steps to be a poem and praise the spring?"

She was obviously not angry about letting Xia Yuyan dominate the scenery, and deliberately wanted her to make a fool of herself in public.

Xia Yuyan's face changed suddenly, and she shot at Liu Wanting with hatred.

Liu Wanting clapped her hands with a smile, looking innocent, and said with a smile: "That's right, Queen Mother, when you and the emperor were enjoying the flowers just now, Sister Xia also made a bet with the princess, saying that she was going to compose poems in a competition, if Sister Xia can become a poem in seven steps, then the princess Niangniang must be able to, we can open our eyes today." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ning couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

This Liu Wanting is the youngest, speaks straightforwardly, and looks innocent, but the depth of her scheming is not under the other two girls, this two-pronged chess move is really wonderful!
