Chapter 367: Ready to Move
What did the emperor want to do? This was Lan Jing's head popping out of his head after he got off the stage. She thought that she had communicated with the emperor, and although the emperor did not make a clear statement, he did not object. If you don't object, isn't that just a promise? Why is there such a sudden show now? It's so weird!
Lan Jing's mind was a little confused, and he glanced up and found that the emperor was happily chatting with his wife and concubine, looking a harmonious scene.
Lin Chu noticed Lan Jing's gaze and said softly: "Don't worry, the emperor is just giving officials, but he didn't say when he will take office..."
Hearing this, Lan Jing's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, "I didn't expect it." ”
Lin Chu stretched out his hand to touch Lan Jing's face, but as soon as his hand was raised, he immediately took it back, sighed and said in a low voice, "Go back to your position." ”
Lan Jing nodded and sat down in her position, she had just sat down and came back from Manchun.
Man Chun was accompanied by two maids, who were carrying a tray of red lacquer and gold peony flowers, on which were placed a large bowl of celadon flowers and five small Hetian jade bowls.
The eyes of the audience were focused on the tray, and there were many speculations about the final ownership of the five small bowls.
However, what no one expected was that the fifth bowl was actually delivered to Luo Xiaofan. After receiving the bowl, Luo Xiaofan felt flattered, and then thought that this should have been all his, and he became depressed again.
The Queen Mother looked at him and said with a smile: "Xiaofan, thanks to you, the mourning family can have a taste." It seems that in the hearts of some people, the mourning family is not as good as yours. ”
Lan Jing wanted to pretend not to hear, but unfortunately everyone's eyes were too hot, so she had to stand up and sneer: "Grandmother, I died unjustly." Because I knew that I couldn't bring food to the palace, I didn't bring it to you, if I knew that you liked to eat, I would immediately be able to make ten or eight flavors for you. ”
The Queen Mother put down the bowl, leaned on the phoenix chair, and asked, "What other flavors are there?" ”
"Except for the pure sesame filling, there are many other things added to it, so it's normal for you not to eat it, grandmother. Lan Jing said and walked up, "When I'm free, I'll make you something else delicious." ”
"So many people are listening, you can't lie to my old man. The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Although Prince An doesn't like sweets, but this sweet but not greasy and crystal clear rice balls won his heart, and now he heard Lan Jing say that he would make it for his wife next time, he hurriedly jumped up and pulled Lan Jing's arm and said, "Don't forget your second uncle." ”
"Uncle can't forget either. The emperor's seemingly casual remark, the hearts of the people below exploded.
Many marriageable girls in the family are thinking about how to talk to the eldest princess's mansion, or how to make their daughters show their faces in front of Tang Shizi.
After three rounds of drinking, the queen mother looked at the girls who were about to move, and thought in her heart that when her daughter was out of confinement, she would start to choose the princess for Xiaojing, so as not to mess around.
With such thoughts, she thought about inspecting the girls here, but how to investigate became a problem.
Suddenly, she had an idea, and she said: "The mourning family heard that all the ladies here are talented and beautiful, are there any who are willing to come forward to perform? ”
Ji Yunfeng stood up with a third point of drinking, propped up the table, and said: "Auntie, you, you, you are unfair, why can only the ladies participate? ”
Originally, the children of the family did not dare to coax, but now that Ji Yunfeng took the lead, and saw that the Queen Mother had no intention of scolding, he had the courage to shout: "The Queen Mother, we don't agree." ”
Seeing the excitement of the people, the Queen Mother rubbed her temples, shook her head speechlessly, and finally said: "Okay, all participate, the most outstanding performance, the mourning family can make her a wish." ”
The Queen Mother didn't expect that the girls in the show were all trying their best with the idea of winning the first place and then letting the Queen Mother give marriage.
The performance was methodical, and the children of the family also had their own goals, so the scene was extremely intense.
Lan Jing has no idea of performing, first, she is still thinking about the emperor's intentions. The second is that the Queen Mother can't help her realize her wish.
"Xiaojing, it's your turn to play, have you thought about what you want?" Qin Tongxi put one hand on Lan Jing's shoulder, and with the other hand, he took the wine jug on the side and poured wine into the empty cup next to him.
took a sip and drank it all, but before Lan Jing could reply, he hurriedly turned to look at her sideways and asked, "Haven't thought about it yet?" or don't you need it? Or will you give me your wish?"
Lan Jing took off his hand, gave him a blank look, and said, "If you want your wish, you can work hard yourself." ”
"With you here, who can get past you?" Qin Tongxi pursed his lips, poured another glass of wine and drank it all.
Lan Jing looked at him sideways, smirked and said, "Uncle Qin, don't worry, I didn't participate, you can show your skills." ”
Qin Tong stood up violently, "You must be the first, why don't you participate?"
As he spoke, the performance on stage just stopped. So his words spread to every corner of the Harmony Palace.
The emperor's gaze moved, "Do you know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or dance?"
Lan Jing stood up and saluted, "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't understand qin and chess, knows a little about calligraphy and painting, and doesn't know anything about dancing." ”
"You said you only understand a little, but what does it mean that you are better than everyone present?" The emperor looked at Lan Jing seriously, is such a sixteen-year-old girl really so magical?
"Uncle Qin has won the award. Lan Jing lowered her eyes, and her voice was flat.
"Xiaojing can't participate, if he does, no one else needs to participate. Ji Yunfeng stood up and shouted loudly, and walked towards Lan Jing unsteadily.
"What kind of book or painting do you have on display, and they think so highly of you?"
Before the emperor's words fell, Ji Yunfeng replied: "Xiaojing's painting is very good, and it can be changed." ”
"The words are good, chic and elegant. Qin Tongxin answered.
"I've seen your handwriting, it's good, this painting seems to have to be shown, otherwise others won't be convinced. ”
Lan Jing was a little speechless, glanced at everyone present, and saw that they were indeed unconvinced, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't plan to participate in the competition, why are they not convinced?"
"I ask you, are you any unconvinced?" the emperor asked, sitting upright.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't respond.
The emperor cleared his throat and said, "If you don't make a sound, you are acquiescing, Tang Aiqing, they are not convinced, and they feel that it is impossible to be worse than you." ”
Lan Jing originally wanted to say that if he is not convinced, he will not be convinced, who cares about others. Looking up, I just saw the emperor's hinted eyes, looked at it puzzled for a few seconds, and said tentatively: "Whoever is not convinced can try with me." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Lan Jing's words came out, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
There are many people who are not convinced, and there is no one who dares to compete with Lan Jing for the time being, not to mention whether her calligraphy and painting are really good, but her identity is destined to discourage many people.
Yu Feixiang was not among those in this line, he felt that his identity was no worse than Tang Chunjing, and he sincerely thought that Ji Yunfeng and Qin Tongxi's words were exaggerated. If Tang Chunjing's calligraphy and painting are really good, they will definitely be displayed everywhere.
With such a thought, he walked to the front, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that everyone is afraid of Lord Tang's identity, so he will hesitate, why don't you let a few princes compete with Lord Tang first?"
Hearing this, the emperor looked at the princes who were sitting beside their respective concubines and asked, "Do you want to compete with your cousin Jing?"
Li Zizhi stood up expressionlessly, saluted, and said: "Back to my father's words, my son knows that he is not as good as Cousin Jing, so he is not comparable." ”
Listening to his words, the other two restless teenagers also calmed down, they are the crown prince, even if they win, they should be, if they don't win, they will be despised.
And the most important thing is that Cousin Jing is a person who can't be offended for the time being, so the two of them stood up one by one and refused to compete.
Yu Feixiang didn't expect this to be the result, he thought that he was currying favor with a few princes, so that they could justifiably suppress Tang Chunjing.
When the queen saw this, although her face was not very obvious, her displeasure could be seen from her pursed lips.
She was about to open her mouth to ask Yu Feixiang to retreat, but the emperor had already spoken first, and he smiled and said, "Since several of my princes know that they are not enough, they are unwilling to participate in the competition. Then Yu Aiqing and Tang Aiqing have a good competition. Yu Aiqing is the champion of today's department, and he should be able to kill Tang Aiqing's sharpness well. ”
