23. Chapter 23
"Poof" Someone in the audience finally couldn't hold back their laughter, and this laughter spread like a โกโก, and one after another laughter sounded from the surroundings, and then turned into laughter. Even the Cangwu Jingkite on the side couldn't hold back, and covered her lips and laughed.
To be honest, the 3,000 beauties of the harem are gone forever for the strong man, but it seems to rhyme quite a bit, which is a little interesting.
Cangwu Jinxiu, who was in the first place, didn't know why everyone was laughing, and thought that this was a compliment to himself, and when he heard the scholar announce that the other people's answers were correct, his face froze.
Cautiously looking up at the people on the judges' seat, Cangwu Jinxiu was a little flustered to find that her father was looking at her with a frown, and the empress was even more downcast.
Cangwu Jinxiu didn't care about answering this question incorrectly, only when she remembered the wrong order, anyway, there was a chance later, and only answering one question incorrectly should not affect her to win the first place.
However, when Cangwu Jinxiu saw the cheeks of Cangwu Jingxiu on the side that had become a little rosy because of the laughter, she was immediately angry.
In her mind, Cangwu Jingkite is just a slut who is not even worthy of lifting shoes for herself, but this slut who is not as good as herself in every way dares to laugh at herself in public, she is so angry that she can't wait to rush forward and give her a few slaps.
But at the moment, this place is not a place for her to be arrogant at will, Cangwu Jinxiu can only endure it, glaring at the literati around her who are still smiling, and continues to listen to the question.
"Look up to the sky and laugh and go out." As soon as Bai Qian finished reading the first half of the sentence, Cangwu Jinxiu saw that Cangwu Jingxiu seemed to be about to speak, so he hurriedly said: "An can tell that I am a male and a female." โ
At this time, even the well-bred Lu Ling and Cangwu Lingxue couldn't help laughing, and Cangwu Jingyi even laughed back and forth.
"You guys! You guys! Rao is Cangwu Jinxiu is stupid, at this time she also understands that everyone is laughing at her, and she is about to have a seizure when she is annoyed, but she didn't expect the empress's angry voice to suddenly come, "The eldest princess's poem is not the same as the horse's mouth, and she will not be eliminated!" โ
The imperial husband on the side saw that the empress was already angry, and hurriedly got up and said to the audience with a blue face: "Don't you hurry up and retreat!" โ
As soon as she heard the empress and her father speak at the same time, the eldest princess, who had just been arrogant, stomped her feet in shame and annoyance, covered her face and ran away, as if to leave.
Seeing this daughter, who would only embarrass the royal family, leave, the empress sat down again, and said in a deep voice with a very unsightly face: "The game continues." โ
Fortunately, except for the small episode of Cangwu Jinxiu, the rest of the people are really talented.
Especially the cangwu jingkite, the next few lines of poetry answered very brilliantly, and that appearance made the empress a little trance-like for a while.
The empress once thought that the one who was most like herself was the smart Cangwu Lingxue, but Jing Kite's expression today, her answers were like a stream, calm and atmospheric, which actually reminded Cangwu Lingshuang that many years ago, she was also so heroic and high-spirited.
And the third princess, Cangwu Lingxue, didn't expect that this fourth sister, who didn't have a sense of zร i in the fourth royal family, would one day be able to stand with her and become her opponent, she secretly vowed to win over her, but there was no dew on her face.
But Cangwu Jingyuan on the side thought of something else, since she had successfully prevented Cangwu Jinxiu from being in the limelight and had also received the attention of the empress, it was not appropriate to show her edge too much, after all, with her current status, it would only backfire and cause trouble for herself.
Thinking of this, Cangwu Jing Kite pretended to lose to Cangwu Ling Xue in the next poem commentary, and arched her hand with a smile: "The third sister is so good, Jing Kite is only sparse and willing to bow down."
After that, Cangwu Jingyi walked to the side, but when she passed by Cangwu Lingxue, Cangwu Jingyi suddenly turned her head slightly and whispered in her ear: "The mother queen wants to come to Xiwen Nongmo, how can there be no her in this meeting?" โ
Hearing this, Cangwu Lingxue was stunned for a moment, and before she came back to her senses, Cangwu Jingyi retreated with a smile.
"My future Prime Minister, how am I doing today?" As soon as he got off the stage, Cangwu Jingyuan rubbed beside Bai Qian, with a flattering and obedient look on his face, which was completely lacking in the elegant atmosphere of the poetry meeting just now.
Bai Qian looked at the Cangwu Jing Kite who came over, raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you also ask Guijun to steal the question for you, otherwise why is she so powerful today?" โ
"How dare I? I'm afraid that I will break your leg before I open my mouth, and I can have such a good result in today's competition, but I have worked hard to light the lamp and boil wax during this time. โ
Without waiting for Bai Qian to ask more, Cangwu Jingyuan pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I came to the peony garden early today, I just spent a long day on the stage, but I am hungry and tired at this time, and now I have to be taught a lesson by you, is there anyone more pitiful than me in this world?" โ
"It's such an adult, and it's still coquettish." Bai Qian smiled dotingly, took out a small paper bag from the purse, and after opening it carefully, a wisp of fragrant osmanthus wafted out, "I know that you have the habit of skipping breakfast, so I will bring you some pastries from the palace, and you will cushion your stomach first." โ
Cangwu Jingkite was also not polite, picked it up and took a bite, and said vaguely while eating: "What did you do there just now?" โ
took the teapot from the table next to him and poured a cup of tea for Cangwu Jingyuan, Bai Qian said: "I just told the empress in private to break up the exam questions and randomly select them, so that it is more fair, and the empress agreed." โ
Hearing this, Cangwu Jingyuan suddenly thought of the poem that Cangwu Jinxiu had just said at the poetry meeting, and said with a smile at the corner of her lips: "Only the kind of person who can only memorize the next sentence and not read the previous sentence, and it is difficult for her imperial husband to steal the title to her, and she also spent a lot of money to invite a bachelor to help her make the next couplet." No wonder I see that the imperial husband has aged a lot recently, and it is not easy to have such a daughter. โ
"Hurry up and eat, it's better to talk less about them outside, and if you are heard, you will cause trouble." Bai Qian said this, but the corners of his lips unconsciously rose a little, and he took another piece of pastry and fed it into the mouth of Cangwu Jing Kite.
The poetry conference ended smoothly, Cangwu Lingxue won the championship in one fell swoop, Lu Ling was second, and Cangwu Jingkite was second.
"The third princess is worthy of being a talented woman in my dynasty, and even the son of the imperial historian can be compared, it is really terrifying."
"It is a blessing for my country to have such a person with outstanding literary talents in the DPRK."
โโ
After the meeting, listening to everyone's praise, Cangwu Lingxue not only felt happy, but felt very annoyed.
She knew very well in her heart that if there was no mention from Cangwu Jingkite before the game just now, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to defeat Lu Ling today.
It turns out that the last round of poems for evaluation and analysis will be posted, and the last poem for Cangwu Lingxue and Lu Ling to comment and analyze seems to be plain, but it contains hope for the world.
And this poem was written by the empress of the dynasty, because of the previous mention of Cangwu Jingyu, Cangwu Lingxue quickly followed this line of thought and naturally won. But she still felt depressed, when would it be her turn to need the humble fourth sister to mention.
"Cangwu Jingkite, you stop." Cangwu Lingxue avoided the courtiers around to congratulate her, and took advantage of the opportunity of Bai Qian being called by the empress to evaluate the names of the others, walked quickly to Cangwu Jingyu's side, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you help me just now?" โ
"Why?" Cangwu Jing Kite looked at Cang Wu Ling Xue who was blocking in front of him and raised her eyebrows and said: "In this palace, Jing Kite understands the principle of survival of the fittest very well, so one more friend is better than one more enemy, isn't it?" But if the third sister doesn't want to be in love, just assume that nothing happened between you and me today! With that, the cangwu kite turned and left.
Looking at the back of Cangwu Jingyi gradually moving away, Cangwu Lingxue stood in place and sank her eyes slightly, and then turned to leave.
