Qianqian lowered her head and took a slice of watermelon from the fruit bowl on the sour branch wood, and tasted it slowly, but her eyes were fixed on the competition on the stage.

All the students who participated in the competition were students from women's colleges. This academy was built by Mrs. Li's wife, Wen, and the admission of students is also strict, civilians are not accepted, non-concubines are not accepted, stupid people are not accepted, and a series of harsh conditions are followed, and very few people can enter the academy. But Wen's is rather lacking than indiscriminate rather than lowering conditions. But because of this, women's colleges are more sought after. Students who graduate from this course are also very popular, and they are the first choice for wives to choose a daughter-in-law. Qianqian was fortunate enough to study in the academy for five years, and I have to admit that the things taught in it were really useful.

Liu Fei and Xue Jiayan are also students at the women's college. Liu Fei participated in the "painting" competition, Xue Jiayan was released in the end, and also participated in the dance competition this year. Seeing Xue Jiayan's dress today, Qianqian couldn't help but sneer.

As everyone knows, Princess Chaoyang likes to be red. At large banquets, they will subconsciously avoid this color, but this Xue Jiayan is wearing a bright red luxurious summer dress today, which is extremely conspicuous in the crowd, and it has the meaning of wanting to compare with Qianqian. Her dancing is indeed good, pure with enchantment, white jade hands, slender waist, and a smile are just right.

Qianqian didn't speak, but Lu Zhu was upset for her master, and said quite indignantly: "Miss Xue is really unruly, she knows that the princess will wear red clothes when she participates in the banquet, and she doesn't know how to avoid it. ”

"She dresses like this, she has her own plans." Qianqian said meaningfully.

Lu Zhu was confused, knowing that the master didn't say it, and she had her own intentions, so she didn't ask. Obeying the rules is the first principle of being a slave.

At this time, there was a cheer from the "painting" stage, and I saw Liu Fei showing a shy smile towards King Yan. Yan Wang is a judge on the "painting" stage, and he is only twenty-three or fourteen years old now, but because he has participated in many battles, he has a lot more masculinity than other men. I think this is also the reason why Liu Fei participated in the "painting" stage competition.

Liu Fei's painting is against the backdrop of a poem, the little lotus shows its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on its head. On the paper is a pink bud with a lifelike dragonfly standing on it, and even the dragonfly's eyes are clearly drawn.

The competition works in calligraphy and painting will be circulated to each other for appreciation, and the first thing is naturally to pass to Qianqian first.

"The princess is much better than she painted. If the princess can participate, she will definitely get the crown. Lu Zhu saw Liu Fei's painting and said disapprerovingly.

"She's pretty good at drawing." Qianqian's evaluation is quite pertinent.

At this time, a palace maid came over with a smile and saluted back: "Liu Mao, the scholar of the military department, came to meet the princess. The palace maids also knew that Liu Mao had a marriage contract with her own princess, and now as soon as the princess came, the future concubine came over in a hurry, and the princess was happy, maybe she would give her a reward.

"Let him in." The smile on Qianqian's face faded, and she said lukewarmly.

The palace maid was a little confused, but after all, it was the master's business, and she didn't dare to say much.

After a while, Liu Mao walked in. He wore a jade crown on his head and a white brocade robe with dark stripes, and his face became more and more like a crown of jade, and his figure was long.

"I've seen Princess Chaoyang." Liu Mao made a courtesy.

"Get up." Liu Mao's eyes have never left Qianqian, seeing that her face is extremely pale, and there is no joy in her eyes to see herself in the past, only alienation, I don't understand why she has changed so quickly. Moreover, what made him care more was that in her previous life, she obviously didn't come to the lotus banquet, could it be said that he was reborn, and things would change accordingly?

"Your Majesty made a decree to give marriage a few days ago, and I am very happy." Liu Mao stared at her like this, not daring to miss a glance, his eyes were full of friendship, if it was someone else, I am afraid he would have already blushed.

"It's just a holy decree." Qianqian replied rather coldly. It's just a holy decree, even if she really gets married, if she doesn't want to, her father will be on her side.

Liu Mao listened to Qianqian's words, and felt very uncomfortable. It's just a holy decree, does that mean there is room for change? Liu Mao knew that with the emperor's favor for Princess Chaoyang, it was not impossible to change the holy decree. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists nervously, how could this be? Since his rebirth, his greatest wish is to marry Princess Chaoyang and not repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

When Liu Mao wanted to further elaborate on the feelings in his heart, he heard a sound of ringing and dingdong, and then a delicate voice sounded, "Brother Mao, where are you." As soon as the words fell, Xue Jiayan, who was wearing a big red dress, appeared happily at the door, "It turns out that Brother Mao, you are here." ”

Xue Jiayan's dress today is eye-catching. Because she wanted to dance, her hair was combed in a very simple bun, with a yellow pearl the size of a quail egg slanted on it, and layers of red palace veils adorned with white pearls the size of her thumb, like dew on a lotus leaf, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Seeing the visitor, a trace of disgust flashed in Liu Mao's eyes, and he was extremely displeased with Xue Jiayan, who was his stepwife in his previous life. At the beginning, if it weren't for the pressure, he would not have married Xue Jiayan as his wife. In order for them not to hurt Chaoyang, he could only snub her, not visit her, and not give her a word. It's just that his deliberate forbearance still can't be exchanged for Chaoyang's life, in this case, what's the point of him tolerating it any longer?

"I only have one sister, Phil. Don't be mistaken, Miss Xue. Liu Mao's eyes were cold, and he said mercilessly.

Xue Jiayan was angry and annoyed, tears were rolling in her eyes, and the tears were about to fall, looking like I was pitiful. It's just a pity that no one in this room eats her set, and she is in vain.

Fortunately, Liu Fei, who came over just in time, played a round, "Brother, why are you here with the princess?" The 'desk' is urging it. ”

Liu Mao is still a judge of the bookstore today, even if he is reluctant, he can't delay it any longer. He asked Qianqian for his resignation, and Qianqian naturally allowed it. As soon as Liu Mao left, Xue Jiayan and Liu Fei naturally planned to leave with Liu Mao.

"Come back!"

"What's the matter?" Liu Mao immediately turned around and looked at Qianqian with a look of hope.

Xue Jiayan clenched her fists, and she was already extremely jealous in her heart. Liu Fei was also speechless, feeling that her brother was too embarrassed and had no bottom line.

"I didn't say you! I'm referring to her! Qianqian's snow-white fingers were raised, and the direction in which the fingers were rushing was where Xue Jiayan was. (To be continued.) )
