Chapter 25: The Banquet for Choosing a Concubine (2)

That is, someone has won a good fortune, and after that, all the nobles are actively performing talents to gain the attention of His Royal Highness the Prince, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to music and dance skills, each has its own strengths......

On the branches of the moon, unconsciously two hours have passed, the competition is still continuing, at this moment a noble lady in the hall is performing the guzheng, playing is the most popular luciscot song in the blue country, telling the story of a woman with superb piano skills in order to let the face with sleep disorders sleep peacefully to create the song, the clear and soft music contains a lingering love, and there is a meaning of love, and the prince can sleep peacefully after listening to this song, so it is widely loved and respected as a classic of courtship. The wine in front of Lan Zhichen has been changed no less than ten times, the blue emperor in the high position has been a little drunk, and is turning his head to say something to the concubine who is currently being favored, the delicate concubine who is teasing is as delicate as a flower and laughing, and the queen mother on the side is still dignified and elegant, enjoying the performance of the nobles below, and giving rewards in a timely manner, with the demeanor of the mother of a country, the ministers sitting around the hall are also getting drunk, talking in a low voice, the soft music is melodious, and the connection is perfect, it can be seen that the skills are skillful, and it is a pity that the performer's mood is not up, resulting in the lack of aura of the song, and the intention of this song is not really expressed, and the song is about to end, The queen turned to the grandmother on the side and whispered a few words, and then returned her gaze to the noble girl in the performance.

Xue Fu Xiaozhu, "Awake?"

"Princess?slave...... Slave and maid see princess! slave and maid ...... The slave and maid accidentally fell asleep, please punish the princess!" Ying'er and Yao'er lowered their heads and forgot to look at each other, and they saw confusion in each other's eyes, and they didn't even notice that they had been drugged! If anything happens to the princess, His Royal Highness he~...... Soaking his back, the coldness fermented in his heart, and he didn't notice that Lan Bing's deep voice was different from the past.

"Are you wondering who drugged you?"

"Your Highness the Princess?"

"It's me"

"Huh?"

"I don't have much to live"

"Huh, you ......"

"I am honest with you this time because you are the most trusted person by my brother, I hope you can help me hide it from my brother in the last three months, and after three months, I have my own way to help you avoid my brother's punishment, how about it?"

"Your Highness the Princess. You ......" Ying'er and Yao'er, who were kneeling on the ground, were horrified when they heard this, Yao'er raised her head and looked at Her Royal Highness the angelic princess in her heart, and looked at Lan Bing's clear gaze, everything was so unbelievable, but it happened realistically, the dagger in Lan Bing's hand was given to her by Lan Zhichen to play with herself, it was a delicate and small steel blade candlelight reflecting a faint light, Yao'er had no doubt that if she didn't agree to Her Royal Highness the princess today, then this would be the end of their lives.

"Two choices, help me or...... Die, huh?"

"Slave maid...... The slave maid chooses to assist the princess, but the slave maid has a request, and I hope the princess can agree. Ying'er and Yao'er exchanged a look with each other, and in a few moments, the silent exchange ended, and their firm eyes looked at Lan Bing who was sitting on the top seat.

Her Royal Highness the princess exudes a momentum similar to Her Royal Highness the Prince, the same cold, bloodthirsty, I once thought that a man as majestic and stunning as Her Royal Highness could not have a woman in the world, but at this moment, look at Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Didn't she wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess had been dropped, but in the encirclement of Her Royal Highness the Prince, she had dropped the bag? No, vetoing this possibility, that is, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been disguising, this state of mind, this forbearance, if ...... Her Royal Highness the princess can be exposed in the eyes of everyone, and I am afraid that she will not lose to Her Royal Highness the crown prince at all.

"Say"

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess is ...... after March, , can you allow the slaves and maids to follow you, the slaves and maids have been rescued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since they were children, and they made a promise to serve them for the rest of their lives, and now they ...... , Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be too lonely in the company of the slaves and maids in another world, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, please allow Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Okay!" Is this the loyal monarch of the ancients? Yue Jun? Lan Zhichen is so popular, she ...... How fortunate it is...... A ghost from another world can get the two of them to promise the soul to accompany you, and when the time comes, let's think of a way...... Even if you can't let the two young girls disappear like this.

At the end of the song, the noble girl who was rewarded happily retreated, and under the queen's eyes, the pink and purple girls in the seats slowly got up, and the white jade beads shook lightly with their hair, becoming more and more light, "The courtiers Yun Jing'er, I would like to offer a painting and ink for His Royal Highness the Prince, please allow the queen's grace" The soft voice is also in line with the feeling she gives people, making people feel comfortable.

"Su asked that there is a first talented woman in Beijing, out of the dust, exquisite, and clear, now at a glance, but there is no consolation, wait for the palace to take a good look at whether this first talented woman is also as amazing as the rumors, your Majesty, what do you say?"

"That's right! I'm also looking forward to the talent of the first talented girl, so you might as well take a look at it together, and how about tasting one or two later?"

"Yes, Obey"

"Yes, the courtiers began to prepare for painting. Yun Xiao'er's attitude of not being humble or arrogant made her win a lot of favor.

Drinking the wine in his hand again, Lan Zhichen didn't seem to care about it, but he saw the movement in the hall clearly, this is the crown princess who was going to be given to him......? It wouldn't be good if people thought he was kind...... It's better to play slowly, life is better than death is the best punishment, isn't it?

Two quarters of an hour later, Yun quietly put down the brush in his hand, bowed his head to Lan Zhichen Yingying, and the palace maids on the side hurriedly picked up the painting, first presented it to the first emperor and queen for appreciation, and finally the ministers praised the painting after reading it one by one.

On the huge rice paper, a man stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, his black hair was like ink, his skin was as white as snow, and the five-clawed golden dragon was hovering in black clothes, just a back, the huge momentum and coldness emanated from the man's body, and the moment he saw the painting, he felt that Lan Zhichen himself was standing in front of him.

"What does the prince think?" the queen asked with a smile when she saw that her plan seemed to have taken another step forward.

"Very good" stood up, walked to Yun Qiao'er, raised the other party's chin with his index finger, and slowly spit out the two words.

"The main hall remembered that there were still some urgent matters to deal with, and the retainers retired."

"Go," the emperor waved his hand, not forced. The queen on the side did not look unhappy, the goal has been achieved, the prey has entered the trap, and the next step is to start slowly closing the siege.

"Okay! She is worthy of being a scholar of the Cabinet University, and she deserves the title of the first talented woman in Kyoto.

"Courtier, Emperor Xie"

There is no doubt that in the end, Yun Xiao'er became the biggest winner, because of her superb painting skills, because of the queen's special recommendation, and she was bold enough, you must know that the person who dares to paint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the only one alive in the world,...... Of course it's ~ Her Royal Highness the Princess, as for what Bao'er drew it like...... Please refer to the stickman ~ ugly, it seems that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a little mood that day...... Why? Maybe it's because a room of rice paper is painted with stickmen~ I think it's been a lot of practice
