The eldest princess also had no intention of dwelling on this issue, and quickly changed the topic: "Come, tell me, which one do you like the most?"

"Both...... I like it all. Xue Ying blushed in embarrassment, "I don't know the specifics, it's just by feeling." ”

"The basis of appreciating calligraphy is the word 'feeling'. Besides, someone like you, who doesn't understand anything, may be closer to the truth. ”

The kindness of the eldest princess greatly encouraged Xue Ying, she pointed to the work in front of her, and commented: "I think this young lady's handwriting is like embroidery, which is very delicate. ”

The eldest princess looked at it carefully and nodded: "Although it is exquisite, it is a pity that the carving is too much, and it is a little less free." You say that her handwriting is like embroidery, but it is also appropriate. ”

Xue Ying took a few steps forward and walked to another work and said, "This young lady writes like sewing clothes. ”

The eldest princess couldn't help laughing: "Why do you say that?"

"It feels like she's trying hard to keep it steady and doesn't want to write crookedly. ”

"Yes. These words are neat and durable, and they are quite skillful, but unfortunately they are a little less agile because they are too restrained. ”

The two watched while walking, although Xue Ying's comments seemed a bit layman, but they seemed to be particularly liked by the eldest princess, and the more they chatted, the hotter they became.

Walking somewhere, Xue Ying suddenly pointed to the work and shouted: "The tree at the bottom of the lake!"

Seeing the calligraphy work, the eldest princess narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes flashed with thought, and after a pause, she asked, "What is a tree at the bottom of the lake?"

"I once saw somewhere, the lake water is crystal clear, there are thousands of years old trees at the bottom of the lake, somehow immersed in the lake water, the leaves have fallen and only the roots and branches remain, the water trees are attached to each other, reflecting the surrounding colorful mountains and forests, the scenery is extremely beautiful. ”

This time, the eldest princess said slowly after a long time: "Water is the softest thing, but there are ancient trees in the water that have not rotted for thousands of years, hidden and unyielding and persevering. One rigid and one soft coexist in harmony, turning into the beauty of heaven and earth, with high quality and extraordinary quality. ”

Xue Ying nodded vigorously: "That's how it feels." ”

The eldest princess's gaze was far away, and she suddenly smiled slightly, and said to herself: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, Ji'er is out of the school, and even I, the senior sister, will be ashamed of myself." ”

The behavior of the two finally attracted the attention of others, and someone leaned over to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed a little and covered his mouth.

This calligraphy work is very similar to the style of the eldest princess.

And now, it has been left in the inconspicuous corner of the cloister, and it has not even been selected for the preliminary selection, let alone the final today.

If the eldest princess hadn't appeared here today, everything would have been fine, after all, under normal circumstances, all she could see was the three works that made it to the finals. But the problem is that now the eldest princess clearly sees that this work that is consistent with her style has been given a cold reception, and the level of this work is not bad, and it can even be said to be extremely good.

That's embarrassing.

The person who came to check on the situation quietly took a step back, and was about to find the aunt who was in charge of coordinating the matter and delivering the news, but the eldest princess suddenly looked over and smiled: "Don't be nervous, appreciating calligraphy is a matter that each has its own eyes, and there is no unified standard. ”

The official lady bowed her head in amazement, not daring to say anything more.

It just so happened that the people in the court had finally written the notice, and they were ordering someone to take it out and paste it, and the ladies who were waiting in the garden came forward to check the results. The eldest princess already knows the inside story, so naturally she doesn't need to step forward to join in the fun. I just looked around, but I didn't find the person I was looking for, and I wondered:

"It's strange, she participated in the race, but she didn't stay here and wait for the result, where did she go?"

Doubts are doubts, but she doesn't plan to send someone to find them in a hurry now. Since Ji'er didn't greet her in advance, it means that she has her plans, and besides, she didn't even enter the primary election, and with Ji'er's pride, she probably doesn't want her to know.

Although from an objective and professional point of view, she believes that Ji'er's calligraphy level is no worse than the three finalists.

Turned his head and asked Xue Ying: "After watching the excitement here, where do you want to go?"

Xue Ying muttered: "As long as you don't go to the 'chess' venue, you can do it anywhere." ”

"Why is that?"

"If you accidentally bump into Wenqi, you have to listen to her nagging for a long time. Her single-mindedness is like playing a game with Miss Xue Er, but Miss Xue Er, as the host of the plum banquet, how can she have this kung fu. ”

The eldest princess: "This chess maniac, when it comes to playing chess, it's like a child who has a beloved toy, and he won't let go." It's also a shame that she was born in the Luo family, and everyone spoils her. As she spoke, the eldest princess's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she sighed, "She is not in good health, and if you marry into the Luo family in the future, you should follow her a little more." ”

Xue Ying pretended to be shy, and said angrily: "What did the eldest princess say?"

The eldest princess smiled, gave her a tacit look, and cheerfully avoided the topic: "Since you don't particularly want to go, let's just take a walk, how about it?"

"Good. ”

The two walked all the way along the corridor, chatting while walking, and suddenly saw a young lady in a water-sleeved dance dress running from the front with her face covered, and she could vaguely hear her irrepressible crying, followed by her maid, who chased after her with a distressed face.

The eldest princess was stunned: "What's going on? Who is the person who passed by just now?"

"Song Li, the daughter of the governor of Sanzhou. The maid behind her immediately answered her question.

"Have a good plum banquet, why is she crying?" The eldest princess frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Song Li.

Xue Ying let out an "ah" with some hesitation.

"What's wrong?" asked the eldest princess.

Xue Ying said embarrassedly: "The front is probably the 'dance' venue." ”

The eldest princess was puzzled, but the maid behind her suddenly said: "No wonder, I heard that there are still many people who have been scolded and cried at the 'dance' venue in the past two years." ”

The eldest princess's brow furrowed even tighter. In her opinion, the plum banquet is an initiative of the former Empress Dowager, in order to give everyone a chance to have a happy and lively play, what's the matter with scolding and crying?

"Let's go, let's see. ”

The "dance" venue is set in an open area, the stage is raised about nine feet, and in front of it is the courtroom, which is separated from the audience by a half-height screen, and all the audience members sit in a fan shape behind the courtroom, as if they are supporting the judges.

Before she was seated, the eldest princess looked at the dark rain standing on the periphery of the audience, with an anxious face.

"Ji'er, why are you here?" the eldest princess asked in surprise.

Seeing her, Wu Yuji was very surprised, and hurriedly came over to salute: "The people's daughter Wu Yuji sees the eldest princess." ”

"Come and show me. The eldest princess pulled her up affectionately and looked her up and down, "It's been a long time, but in a blink of an eye, you'll become a big girl." Are you here?

Wu Yuji then remembered, and glanced at the direction of the stage with some concern.
