It's just that things have happened, and she can't hold her accountable, she can only think of shining at this Flower Dynasty Festival, so that everyone can forget the previous incident, after all, people are forgetful, once there is a new talk in the capital, then the previous things are scattered with the wind, everyone from today on, will only remember the radiant self.

And since that incident, she can clearly feel that the third prince's attitude towards her is obviously much colder. However, as long as he can win the first place in this competition, then the third prince will still look at him differently, and the schemes he dedicated to the emperor and let him be praised by the emperor were not all given to him by her? She didn't believe that he could give up such a huge benefit in front of him.

Xue Bairu was drawing her makeup in front of the dresser, and sneered in her heart, I must let those of you who look down on me prostrate at my feet in the future.

It's just that what Xue Bairu doesn't know is that these things will only arouse the suspicion of the three princes even more, if his heart is on her, it's okay to say, if the heart of the third prince is not on her, then Xue Bairu's fate will be ......

I saw that Xue Bairu's makeup was bright today, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were bright, and her teeth were stunning.

Especially today, her eyes have a confident glow that doesn't match her age.

Surprisingly, she did not wear a delicate long dress today, but a heroic and sassy tight-fitting outfit, which stood out even more among a group of young girls.

Xiyue also came to the Flower Dynasty Festival, but she was sitting on the judges' seat, which he specially asked Nangong Yuchen to ask for her, after all, this is a competition held by the royal family, which is intended to have fun with the people. As for who the judges are, it has nothing to do with them. Moreover, Xiyue has always had the name of the first talented woman in Kyoto, and she has a beautiful appearance.

The group of old men in their seventies and eighties in the judges' seat can be regarded as unique in their own right, and it can also increase the gimmick of this competition, so the Ministry of Rites has nothing to disagree with. When Nangong Jincheng saw Xiyue, she immediately stepped forward to talk to Xiyue, "Xiyue, you are also here, are you also interested in today's competition?" ”

Xiyue didn't want to deal with him much, but still nodded at him, "yes." ”

Nangong Jincheng saw that he had said so many words, and he only replied with such a "yes", how could he chat. Nangong Jincheng didn't want to deal with her anymore and returned to her position. Seeing that all the people who were going to participate in the competition were present, the officials of the Ministry of Rites nodded, and looked back at the four people sitting on the judges' seat, two of them were the great Confucians of the country, and even the three princes came to participate this time, as well as the daughter of the first talented female prime minister in Kyoto, this battle is very huge, and none of these four judges is easy to mess with.

Let's not talk about the daughters and three princes of the Prime Minister's Mansion, their identities are not something that he can provoke as a small official, even if it is those two great Confucians, they are also full of peach and plums, and they don't know how many of their protégés are in the court, so when this official of the Ministry of Rites sees them, he also has to back down three points.

Seeing that everyone on the judges' bench nodded in agreement, the officials of the Ministry of Rites relieved to let the eunuch on the side announce the start of the written test, and with a sharp "competition begins", this competition in Xue Bairu's expectation began. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu announced the content of today's competition, and the poems made today are themed on spring.

After listening to this topic, everyone lowered their heads and thought secretly, this topic is simple to say, but difficult to say, the scope of this topic is too large, if there is nothing outstanding, it will be completely suppressed by others. After everyone finished the poem, everyone gave some evaluation, these people are the future pillars of the country, as long as the poem is not too bad, they will give praise.

However, neither Xiyue nor the three princes opened their mouths, and no one knew what they were waiting for, but their status was noble, and no one dared to force them to make an evaluation. After a while, it was time for Xue Bairu to compose a poem, Xue Bairu's eyes looked at the four people on the judges' seat, and he lowered his shyness slightly when he swept to the three princes over there, "A poem made by a courtier, I hope to get the guidance of several great Confucians and three princes." ”

directly ignored Xi Yue, Xi Yue just sneered in her heart, this person is too conceited. "Shengri is looking for Fangsi waterfront, and the boundless scenery is new. Waiting for leisure to know the east wind side, thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring. ”

As soon as the first few sentences came out, the two great Confucians showed surprised expressions, this poem is really good, compared to those students who have studied in the Guozijian for decades.

The third prince has been immersed in ** ink since childhood, and it can be said that he is very proficient in poetry and songs, but this poem is wonderful. Several great Confucians also listened carefully, this poem is really wonderful.

A great Confucian waited until Xue Bairu's words were finished, and then immediately spoke, he hadn't heard such a good poem for a long time, and couldn't help but praise him, "Miss Xue is really erudite, the 'victory day' in the first sentence points to tomorrow, and 'Xunfang' points to the theme." The word 'Xun' not only writes the author's Yixing, but also adds a lot of interest to the poem. The second sentence, 'the boundless scenery is new for a while', describes the initial impression obtained from watching the spring scenery. 'Boundless Scenery' reverses the first sentence of 'Winning the Sun and Seeking Fang', saying that the result of seeking Fang. And the word 'boundless' is used to describe all the scenery as far as the eye can see. 'Temporary new' not only writes about the return of spring to the earth, the natural scenery is new, but also writes about the refreshing feeling of joy during the outing. Here we do not make detailed descriptions, do not cut and paste on grass, trees and stones, but write from a very large space. It's wonderful, wonderful. ”

Daru couldn't help but nodded, this Miss Xue is really capable.

Xue Bairu was naturally happy with the praise of others in his heart, but he still had a humble look on his face, and said to Da Ru with a smile, "Thank you Da Ru for your compliment." ”

Another Confucian then said, "Yes, this poem is really wonderful, the last two sentences use figurative language to specifically describe the newness of the scene, and express the results of seeking beauty." "Wait for leisure to know the east wind side", the word "literacy" in the sentence inherits the word "find" in the first sentence. "Waiting for leisure" means that the face and features of spring are easily recognizable. It means that the sun is looking for beauty, and I didn't expect to have the boundless scenery, but now I have such a fresh feeling, and I can't help but rejoice. "East Wind Side" visualizes and personifies the spring and spring scenery, and implements the word "literacy". The last sentence "thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring", which means that the scene of thousands of purples and thousands of reds is all dyed by spring light, and people know spring from this thousand purples and thousands of reds, and feel the beauty of spring. This specifically answers why we can "wait for leisure to know the east wind". And the "thousands of purples and thousands of reds" in this sentence are close to the "east wind side", and far to the "boundless scene", dual rhetoric, and strong imagery. That's great. ”

Xue Bairu bowed to this great Confucian Yingying, and also said to another great Confucian in a clear and pleasant voice, "Thank you for your praise." ”

The third prince also praised the poems made by Xue Bairu this time, although Xue Bairu lost face last time, but her brain is still very useful, she can provide herself with a lot of help, and the poems she made this time are also amazing.

The third prince also praised a few words for this, "Miss Xue is really talented, the image of this poem you made is more distinct, the scene is more vivid, and the description is more natural. ”

As he spoke, Nangong Jincheng turned his face to Xiyue again, "That's right, Xiao Yue'er." What do you think of this poem?" his eyes looked full of affection, and he looked at you quietly, if it were just an ordinary woman, I am afraid that he would easily indulge in it.

It's just that when Xue Bairu saw this scene, he gritted his teeth with hatred, why is this person? It's just that he was born to occupy the position of the future third princess and refused to let go, and he also came to judge his own poems wantonly, does he have the qualifications? Can he evaluate the poems of the great poet Zhu Xi.

If Xiyue knew his thoughts, she would say "hehe" twice, and you also know that this is not your own doing, so you dare to show off on stage.

Xiyue just smiled slightly, "I can't judge this poem too much, it's really wonderful." It's just that Miss Xue's poem is just to praise the spring scene? This is inevitably too narrow. Although we are just little women, our ideas should not be confined to the surface. Moreover, I don't know what the "Surabaya Beach" in Miss Xue's poem is. ”

Xiyue sneered in her heart, this Xue Bairu, stealing other people's poems, won't he add some changes.

The smile on Xue Bairu's face stiffened, what could she say, Surabayabin, it doesn't exist in this world, how do you want her to say it, as for what she said, she is just a woman, aren't the poems that everyone makes this type.

Nangong Jincheng and the two Confucians' faces are not very good-looking, they praised Xue Bairu just now, and she criticized, isn't this also a slap in the face, but think about what Xiyue said just now, what is the place in the Surabaya beach in the poem she did just now.

Everyone's eyes looked at Xue Bairu, waiting for her to refute.

Xue Bairu's mind also turned quickly, and he said to a few people on the judges' table, "Surabaya is just a remote place in the countryside, Miss Bai has been staying in the backyard, and I don't know if yes is normal." As for my poems, I don't know if Miss Bai has any better poems, let's discuss them together. ”

Xiyue sneered directly and stood up, "What qualifications do you have to order me and listen to my poems." I'm a judge, you're just a participant, and you're asking yourself, do you really think this poem is good? ”

In fact, Xue Bairu doesn't know if this poem is good or not, she is just a student who graduated from three universities. It's just that this poem just popped up in her memory, and this is a famous work, isn't it really bad?

Xiyue stared at Xue Bairu tightly, she knew that Xue Bairu didn't answer just now, either she didn't know the original meaning of this poem at all, or she didn't know how to explain it, after all, this poem was completely inconsistent with her experience, and she had no way to refute herself, but she was also picking a bone in the egg, even if it was just a description of appreciating the spring scene, this poem was also considered to be the best among them, but unfortunately, this poem was not made by herself.

According to Zhu Xi's life years, the spring tour in Surabaya written in this poem is not a reality, but a kind of fiction. In the eleventh year of Song Gaozong's Shaoxing, Song and Jin signed the "Shaoxing Peace Agreement", and the territory of Song and Jin was bounded by Huaishui. In the first year of Longxing, Zhang Jun went on a northern expedition and was defeated by Fuli. Since then, the Lord and the faction have gained power, and the anti-war faction has lost its voice. Song Xiaozong returned, the Southern Song Dynasty court was slightly stable, partial to the southeast, and the Jin people also had to temporarily rest in Huaibei. At the end of Zhu Xi's life, the Southern Song Dynasty did not have a large border army, and Zhu Xi himself could not cross the Huai to the Lu realm, and it was impossible for him to go north to reach the land of Surabaya.

Zhu Xi has never been to the land of Surabaya, but this poem is written about Surabaya, the reason is that Zhu Xi is submerged in psychology, loves Confucius, and yearns for the victory of Confucius living on top of Su Si, reciting string songs, and preaching and teaching, so he entrusts himself to the fugue to seek Fang. Therefore, this poem is actually based on Surabaya, the holy place of Confucius. This is not only a landscape poem, but also a philosophical poem.

It's just that looking at Xue Bairu's appearance, she obviously doesn't know.

It's just that at this time, what everyone thinks in their hearts is, yes, if Xiyue is unwilling, who can force Xiyue to compose poems, she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is also the future third princess, except for the royal family, who can persecute her.

Seeing the scene, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites suddenly quieted down, and immediately stepped forward, "Okay, everyone's evaluation of Miss Xue has ended, so please take the next seat." ”

Xue Bairu had no choice but to leave with an unwilling face, and the poetry competition ended like this, and Xue Bairu naturally did not get the praise of a lot of talented people as he thought, but he didn't even get the top three. Xue Bairu's face was full of unwillingness, her chance to become famous, she was ruined by Xiyue like this, and sure enough, this person was the most annoying. After that, the competition was to test her painting skills, Xue Bairu recovered a little bit of spirit, even if she was destroyed by Xiyue before, but when she painted, she didn't plan to win with any artistic conception or painting skills, but planned to win with ingenuity, she didn't believe that Xiyue could still criticize her.

Xue Bairu is full of confidence, he has watched so many TV series, but it is not for nothing, Xue Bairu is ready to fight his way out of the encirclement. Today, the content of our competition is "Rain Lotus", and after the announcement of the ceremonial officer, we retreated to the audience.

Everyone is painting lotus flowers in the rain, very cautious, intending to depict the graceful demeanor of lotus flowers in the rain. Only Xue Bairu simply drew two strokes on the drawing paper, and then put down the pen in his hand. She knew that she was not good at painting, and she had not learned this kind of thing systematically, so she could only win by skill.

After finishing the painting, Xue Bairu leaned over the judges' stage, her eyes wandering, "I don't know if a few adults, the third prince, and Miss Bai can give the courtiers a glass of water." ”
