Chapter 15: Striking Again
The content of the second round of assessment was even more unexpected by everyone, and even Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help frowning, but he didn't interfere silently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is also the time for a pillar of incense, but this time what Meng Xia has to do is to write down an article that he has not read at all, and recite it word for word in public after a pillar of incense.
"Mrs. Liu, this article you prepared is too long, right?"
Meng Xia took the outrageous-looking article and gestured in public, and asked Mrs. Liu rhetorically: "Moreover, most of the words and sentences here are a little difficult to read, are you sure you can memorize them word for word within this pillar of incense?" ”
Unlike the first round, this time Meng Xia took the initiative to question it.
Because she knows very well that although Mrs. Song in the first round is a little pedantic, at least it is not unprincipled. And at this moment, Mrs. Liu's bullying appearance may not be too ugly.
"The ninth princess is a good question, Weichen is old, and his memory is indeed not as good as that of young people, but it is more than enough to carry this thing within a pillar of incense."
Mrs. Liu shook his long beard quite proudly, and said in public: "If you want to enter the study out of the ordinary, the requirements naturally cannot be the same as ordinary people, otherwise wouldn't this study be squeezed out?" ”
"Ah Xia almost forgot, Mrs. Liu was famous for his memorability back then, no wonder you picked this as the assessment content in this round."
Meng Xia looked like he suddenly remembered, nodded and said a little helplessly: "Even so, Ah Xia can only estimate and try." ”
"The ninth princess doesn't have to be too reluctant, in fact, Weichen feels that it is not easy for the ninth princess to pass the first assessment." Mrs. Liu persuaded him seriously, and he naturally firmly believed that it was impossible for Meng Xia to complete such an assessment.
"Thank you Mrs. Liu for your compliment, but Ah Xia likes to do things from beginning to end. But Mrs. Liu, are you sure that this article will not be changed? Or if Asha is lucky enough to do it, there won't be any other fussiness? ”
This so-called "kindness", Meng Xia naturally would not accept it, on the contrary, she also deliberately emphasized that she asked again.
"Of course it's sure!" Mrs. Liu smiled: "It seems that the ninth princess is quite ......"
"It's OK, so you can officially light incense!"
Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to finish talking other nonsense, Meng Xia simply motioned to the palace people on the side to burn incense and time it, and then said no more, and looked at the article intently.
This situation naturally made Mrs. Liu quite embarrassed, but she had to endure it temporarily, just waiting for a while when Meng Xia was defeated and then give birth to this breath.
"Your Majesty, our nine princesses are really bold, you look at these nine out of ten stable appearances, but they look like they."
After observing for a while, Empress Jiang said softly to Emperor Meng Zhao: "The concubine used to know that this child was quite obedient and filial, but I had never heard that this child had such a talent and temperament, and it was surprising to look at it as if it was a different person. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Meng Gui subconsciously looked at Meng Xia, and his expression was slightly more solemn than before.
Seeing this, Concubine Ning on the side took over with a smile and said: "The queen doesn't know, the mother of the ninth princess, Ji Ronghua, is a talented girl, and the ninth princess is even better than the blue." It's just that the Ji family is low-key by nature and has been recuperating for many years, so the ninth princess takes care of the Ji family in the Heling Palace most of the time, and rarely haunts other palaces, so there is no chance to shine. ”
"I also remember that the Ji family was indeed quite talented back then!"
Ning Guifei's words made Emperor Meng Zhao seem to recall something, and nodded slightly and said this.
"In this way, the nine princesses are almost buried."
Empress Jiang said with emotion: "The concubine still thinks that the ninth princess is too sad because Ji Ronghua passed away and has been stimulated a lot, so her temperament has changed greatly and suddenly become high-profile." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Ning was very annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but echoed with a smile: "The concubine was similar to what the queen thought at first, after all, when she saw a princess who was originally inconspicuous suddenly become eye-catching, it was always easy to think more involuntarily. It's just that a few days ago, the concubines occasionally heard the third prince say something, but they felt that the children's thinking was closer than that of adults. ”
"Oh, what did Lang'er say?" These words successfully aroused the interest of Emperor Meng Zhao.
Ning Guifei first glanced at Empress Jiang, and then at Liu Guifei, who had not been talking positively because the topic involved the Ji family, and finally fell back to Emperor Meng Zhao, and said with a slightly pitiful expression: "Your Majesty, the third prince said that day that the ninth princess will no longer be busy serving and taking care of her mother in the future, if she doesn't find more interesting things to do, I don't know what she will be like." ”
After hearing this, Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help but nodded, and sighed lightly towards Concubine Ning and said: "The ninth princess is indeed smart and sensible, and in the future, Concubine Ai will take care of her deceased mother concubine more, don't let her be too lonely." ”
"To be able to win the emperor's mercy, this is the blessing of the ninth princess. Please rest assured that the concubines and the three princes will take care of the nine princesses. ”
Concubine Ning Guifei thanked Meng Xia for herself.
Seeing this, Empress Jiang didn't say anything more, smiled slightly and looked as usual.
However, Liu Guifei's face was quite uncomfortable, fortunately, Emperor Meng Zhao didn't pay attention to her.
A pillar of incense had only burned for less than a half, but Meng Xia, who was concentrating on memorizing the article there, suddenly stopped and put away the article he was reading.
Seeing this, everyone immediately turned their heads to each other, there is no doubt that it seems that Meng Xia is really planning to give up this time.
"Ninth Princess, aren't you going to continue?"
Mrs. Liu didn't feel any surprise at all, and said immediately: "If the Ninth Princess abstains, then Weichen is announcing it now......"
Who knows, Meng Xia directly interrupted: "Mrs. Liu misunderstood, it was Ah Xia who was ready, and now he can start reciting." ”
"What?"
Mrs. Liu thought she had heard it wrong, and this time, the scene exploded again.
Seeing this, Meng Xia didn't explain anything, just raised his hand to signal, asked everyone to be quiet first, and recited directly: "Uncle Wu, Taoyuan Lishi clan, when you are young, you often have nightmares, and you are heavy on the life of the gods. and one-day ......"
Without the slightest pause, Meng Xia memorized the extremely long article word for word.
The surroundings were already silent, and everyone was stunned, and their heads didn't have time to think about anything else for a while.
