Chapter 126: Talent Competition
Princess Yongjia walked around for a long time before she sat on the main seat, and Qin Lulu felt that her knees were bent to the point of soreness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Let's all be exempt!"
Princess Yongjia's tone was calm, but with a natural majesty.
The crowd stood up in twos and threes.
Princess Yongjia looked around, and then said: "In Suri, the ladies appease the back house, husbands and children, and my courtiers of the Great Zhou can contribute to the country with peace of mind." This palace has the heart to be close to the ladies and ladies, but it is afraid of a summons, which will make people panic and disturb everyone. Now that the weather is good, the palace is cheeky to invite everyone to gather, not only to be close to the ladies, but also to take the opportunity to be lively. Speaking of which, everyone cheers and gives face to the palace, so there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, there is not so much exquisiteness, and the ladies and girls just have fun. ”
The princess was so kind and humble, which made Qin Shuying a little surprised.
The flower hall is too wide, in order to let the people behind hear clearly, there is also a maid standing in the middle of the flower hall, as soon as Princess Yongjia finished speaking, the maid repeated it to the crowd behind, so that the people behind could also hear clearly.
It's just that the place where Qin Shuying is standing is a little far away, but Princess Yongjia's appearance can't be seen, so she can't see her expression.
Mrs. Pingxi Hou Luo said: "Then we will be cheeky to inherit the blessing of the princess." ”
Princess Yongjia glanced at Luo Shi lightly, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.
Zi Yuan, the right-hand woman next to Princess Yongjia, said: "Ladies, ladies and ladies, this hairpin flower party is still as usual, for three days, with two themes per day. On the first day, it was an essay topic. The next day, it was a martial question. On the third day, the distinguished guests elected themselves. ”
The hairpin flower club has always been like this.
"Now, I announce the theme of the first day, the second day. The morning of the first day was a poetry meeting, presided over by Mrs. Rong; In the afternoon, there was a calligraphy and painting meeting, presided over by Mrs. Ji. The next morning was a horse ride, presided over by Madame Mo; The afternoon was archery, hosted by Mrs. Liang. The four ladies have been ready for a long time, and now invite the ladies to come forward. ”
The girls followed the maid's instructions and went forward.
The ladies sat in the seats they had lined up before.
Qin Yue asked Qin Shuying softly: "Aunt Seven, who are this Mrs. Rong, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ma?" ”
Qin Shuying thought for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Mrs. Rong should be the daughter-in-law of the elder Rong Ge, and she was only famous when she was in the boudoir in the past. Mrs. Ji should be known as 'a masterpiece of calligraphy and painting', and she is now widowed. Mrs. Mo should be the wife of the prince of Chu, the prince of Chu is a military general, although Mrs. Mo is from a civilian family, her husband is a military general, and I heard that Mrs. Mo herself is not a problem to ride a horse and shoot arrows. ”
Lin Zilan nodded and said, "Sister Shuying is right, I also guessed so. ”
Qin Lulu said, "Well, that's Mrs. Rong." ”
Everyone looked at the high platform in front of them, and sure enough, a young woman in full costume walked up to the stage, saluted the three princesses, and sat down at the bottom of the three princesses.
Qin Lulu said in a low voice: "When Mrs. Rong was originally in the boudoir, she was known as the female Zhuge . married to the eldest son of Rong Ge Lao, and now it has been ten years. It's just that I don't know why, after giving birth to a daughter, I haven't had a child. ”
Qin Shuying lowered her eyes and hid the look in her eyes.
She now reads books every day, and in the past, in order to keep her health, she used to read medical skills and history books. Later, after sorting out all Qin Yongzhou's books, she read more miscellaneous books, and made a special trip to memorize some genealogy books of major families.
In addition, there are people in her hands now, and from time to time someone reports information to her, she also knows something about the famous people in the capital.
This Mrs. Rong has a noble and arrogant temperament, but there is something unspeakable, but I am afraid that ordinary people will not believe it.
After the ladies were seated, Mrs. Rong said: "Today's poetry meeting, we still have the old rules, make it according to the situation, and then seal everyone's names, and finally ask the poetry club to vote for the flowers." Since you want to evaluate the good and bad, you must also have a lottery. Today's lottery will not be announced for the time being, if there is any distinguished customer who wants to increase the lottery temporarily, it is also possible. Now, I've got four questions here, and I'm going to pick one of them. ”
A maid came forward with a silver plate holding red silk, and Mrs. Rong went to draw it.
The girls chattered, and from their discussions, Qin Shuying and the others knew that the color of the previous years was either from Princess Yongjia, or from a certain lady, and even from the palace concubine, and so on.
Where he was standing now, he could clearly see the expressions of the three princesses of Princess Yongjia, and Qin Shuying looked at them carefully.
Princess Yongjia looked indifferent and lazy, and she couldn't see the joy of wanting to be lively and lively at all.
Princess Fuping smiled happily, naturally and calmly, and drank tea slowly.
Princess Fuyasu's big dripping eyes rolled wildly.
There are a lot of young ladies here today, and there are two or three hundred of them as far as the eye can see.
The hairpin banquet is not divided into concubines, and the girls who can come in are between eleven and twelve to fifteen years old, and regardless of whether they are married or not, there are more female dependents of third-grade officials in the capital.
This is not counting some girls who are sick or have trouble dealing with Princess Yongjia's mansion.
Because the hairpin banquet is too famous, a kind of flower viewing party has also arisen among the officials below the third grade, and Lu Changju wants to participate in the flower viewing party. It's a pity that now that something like that has happened in Lufu, she can't participate.
"Seventh sister, why did you get a peach blossom again? Last year was a peach blossom, and I thought that I probably wouldn't draw the same topic this year, so I didn't make any preparations. ”
Qin Shuying was thinking about it when she heard Qin Lulu's slightly sad voice.
Qin Shuying came back to his senses.
She came to participate in such a hairpin banquet, one is because the Dong family is in charge, since she wants to bring the girls out, she will also come out with her, and she will not be that special person. Second, she also wanted to come out and take a look and grasp more of the situation.
She didn't think about what she was going to get at the hairpin banquet, besides, although she was talented, she was not sure that she could win against them compared to the ladies in the capital.
So she's just here to make up the numbers today.
"Fifth sister, don't worry, let it be." Qin Shuying comforted her, she also understood Qin Lulu's talent, which was on par with herself.
If you talk about the story of the talented and beautiful woman, the fifth sister is the leader of the ladies in the capital.
Qin Shuying made a rare push, but he just thought about it and didn't say it.
Now she and Qin Lulu have a better relationship, but they only keep this relationship in their hearts. Her future was uncertain, and she didn't dare to involve Qin Lulu.
Fortunately, Qin Lulu had a cheerful temperament, and she only sighed, and then she was no longer sad, but instead contemplated.
Qin Yue has been standing steadily, with a smile on the corner of her lips, not saying much and not looking around.
