Now that the queen has spoken, the nobles who don't have any extra ideas have kept a low profile, and those who have some wishes for Prince An and the side concubines have come on the stage one by one.

They are all flower-like girls, at a young age, with the unique youth and delicate beauty of the girl's family, plus most of them are carefully cultivated by the family, and they are all familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so one by one the girls are watching Xiàn down, the scene is very good-looking, and the emperor also nodded again and again, smiling.

Seeing the emperor's reaction, the mothers of several noble girls who performed on the field also had smiles in their eyes, and they gladly glanced at their daughters who had just left the stage after the performance.

However, compared with other elegant and ladylike performances, there seem to be a few noble ladies on the field who are not out of the ordinary.

There are those who perform sword dance, which is also okay, and even compared to the other talents shown before, this sword dance combines strength and softness, which makes people feel refreshed. However, since the sword dance, it has been out of control, and there are those who perform boxing, swording, and whipping

Looking at the girl in front of her who waved a long whip impenetrable, the corners of the queen's mouth twitched, and she always felt that the scene in front of her was somewhat familiar. The queen couldn't help but turn her head to look at An Rou, and sure enough, she saw that Lin Daiyu was watching it with relish, and she wanted to try it out, and then looked at her daughter, fortunately, the queen was very pleased, her An Rou was still so gentle and virtuous, delicate and lovely.

However, when did it become popular for noble girls to learn martial arts in the capital? When I arrived in the palace, look at the proficiency of these noble girls, some of them are not able to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, especially this whip method, although the queen does not learn martial arts, but it is not so much that she has no eyesight, and this whip has to be practiced for at least a year and a half to get to this point

After the whip dance, this noble lady was already a little sweaty, and she saluted the main seat, the movement was handsome and neat, which attracted the emperor to look at it a few more times, thinking of his grandson's hobby, he couldn't help but turn his head sideways to see his grandson's reaction, but there was no expression on his face, and he couldn't see that he was not satisfied. The Emperor Taishang looked at the girl in the center of the field again, and said with a smile, "It is worthy of General Zhou's beloved daughter, the tiger father has no dog girl!" When did you start practicing this whip? ”

Seeing the emperor's inquiry, Zhou Lanru did not have stage fright at all, and smiled generously, "The people's girl has been learning whipping since she was nine years old, and she has been studying diligently every day, and asking herself is also a small success." Speaking of this, Zhou Lanru has clear eyes, confidence and pride, but it will not be annoying, but it seems frank and natural.

"Not bad, not bad." The Emperor Taishang smiled even more kindly, "As a woman, it is not easy to persist like this, reward." ”

The Emperor Taishang obviously looked at Zhou Lanru differently, and the eyes of some of the nobles on the field who were careful couldn't help but change when they looked at Zhou Lanru. Zhou Lanru didn't seem to care about these eyes, but deliberately glanced at Princess An Rou when she left the scene, and met Lin Daiyu on the side.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu noticed her gaze, Zhou Lanru smiled proudly and walked to her seat with her head held high.

Lin Daiyu:

Lin Daiyu was a little inexplicable, Zhou Lanru's eyes just now always felt full of challenges, and Lin Daiyu was also a little nervous.

Daiyu has no impression of Zhou Lanru, but Zhou Lanru is deeply impressed by Lin Daiyu, Zhou Lanru was born in a family of military generals, she has loved dancing and swords since she was a child, but her mother insisted on raising her to a lady, Zhou Lanru had no interest in this, but unfortunately she couldn't resist her mother, so she had to reluctantly learn to be a lady.

When the princess chose to read with her, she was also among them, showing her piano skills in a decent manner, but she didn't expect that someone would perform boxing skills behind her, and it was this out-of-the-ordinary guy who was finally selected as a companion

Lin Daiyu didn't know what impact she had on the young Zhou Lanru's outlook on life, at this time, the nobles finished performing one after another, Yingchun did not play, but Tanchun went up to write a pair of calligraphy, which made many ladies present nod secretly.

The lively talent show ended, and it was not too early, and the palace banquet officially began.

Daiyu followed Princess Anrou into the banquet, she has never loved these occasions, saying that it is a palace banquet, but this kind of occasion is almost not full, but because she is used to it, although she is impatient, she also looks quite decent. After eating without knowing the taste, the queen took some ladies to walk around the garden, and the nobles also gathered together in twos and threes, because the emperor and the emperor had left, and Prince An was nowhere to be found, the nobles relaxed a little.

Lin Daiyu was sitting with An Rou and Baochai enjoying the scenery, but they heard an exclamation from the side, they knew that they were in the palace, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they immediately lowered their voices, but Daiyu still heard it, and turned her head to see that it was a girl whose dress was stained with tea stains, and the little palace maid who served the tea seemed to be very apologetic, and she kept bowing down to apologize.

Shi Shuyue was very annoyed in her heart, this skirt was specially made by her for this palace banquet, and it was made of good cloud silk brocade, embroidered with pink and blue bamboo leaf patterns, and a layer of silk yarn as thin as cicada wings was draped outside, which looked dignified and without losing a hint of girlishness, but at this time, in the palace, many pairs of eyes were staring, even if they were annoyed, they had to be generous and decent.

For the Shi family, who now supports the dignity of the family, the return of Prince Sun An undoubtedly gives them a glimmer of hope to regain their glory. However, Prince An himself does not seem to be close to the Shi family, or in other words, although Prince An is courteous to the current helm of the Shi family and his uncle, there is still a lot of distance from the intimacy that the Shi family wants. Before Shi Shuyue entered the palace today, she was instructed by her elders to seize this opportunity to show her well.

Therefore, she reluctantly suppressed her annoyance, showed a light smile, and said generously, "It's okay, but you must be careful in the future, if you stain the dresses of the other sisters, I will not spare you." ”

Hearing her words, some girls sneered, but the little palace maid was very grateful and thanked her again and again. A pink-clothed palace maid who was waiting on the side stepped forward, "Miss Shi, why don't you go and freshen up first." ”

Shi Shuyue naturally couldn't wander around the palace with tea stains, which was rude. agreed to the mention of the pink-clothed palace maid, and was taken by the little palace maid to change clothes.

Shi Shuyue left temporarily, and this little episode was revealed, and not many people in the water pavilion cared about it, and the matter seemed to have passed like this.

At this moment, Zhou Lanru walked in front of Princess An Rou, saluted Princess An Rou, then turned her eyes to Daiyu, glanced at her and then turned to An Rou, "Your Highness, can you let Miss Lin accompany her courtiers to walk around the palace." ”

An Rou looked at Zhou Lanru suspiciously, and then turned her head to look at Daiyu, wanting to hear what she meant.

Lin Daiyu and Zhou Lanru glanced at each other, and for a moment, An Rou seemed to see a crackling spark flashing, An Rou blinked, but saw Lin Daiyu smiling at her and nodded.

Seeing Daiyu nodding, An Rou no longer hindered her, and Zhou Lanru took Daiyu to leave the water pavilion temporarily.

If you want to say why Zhou Lanru took Lin Daiyu to leave alone, it is actually not a big deal, she just seriously wants to have a discussion with Lin Daiyu (hey!). ）。

Zhou Lanru, a girl who has always been straightforward, pulled Daiyu to walk on the path, and when she saw that there was no one around, she directly made a request for discussion.

Lin Daiyu responded happily, when Zhou Lanru was looking for her, as a martial artist's intuition, Daiyu vaguely guessed why she came, and Daiyu was also full of interest in this.

Afraid of being seen fighting in the palace, so as to cause some trouble, Lin Daiyu took Zhou Lanru all the way to a remote place, where no one usually comes, and the venue is big, but it is just right for fighting, ah no, let's learn.

So these two people were in the Ouchi Palace, and you came and went to try each other. The process will not be described in detail, the result is obvious, although Lan Ru's sister has practiced hard since she was a child and is quite talented, but Lin Daiyu has never slackened, not to mention, Lin Daiyu She was born open, although Zhou Lanru exhausted all means, she was still defeated by Daiyu.

Zhou Lanru was not convinced, challenged again, and was defeated again. Fight again, defeat again, fight again, although Zhou Lanru is a beautiful girl, Lin Daiyu also showed no mercy, shot cleanly, and saw that Zhou Lanru still wanted to come again, so she directly leaned over and pressed Zhou Lanru down on the grass.

Zhou Lanru wanted to get up, but was tightly shackled by Lin Daiyu, and was pressed under her and couldn't move, Zhou Lanru's eyes were red, "You let go!" ”

Lin Daiyu was unmoved, and sharply pointed out the facts, "You have already lost, as a person who practices martial arts, don't you even have the measure of admitting defeat?" ”

Zhou Lanru's tears finally filled her eyes, "What do you know!" I've worked so hard, why, why did I lose so lightly? ”

Lin Daiyu saw her shed tears, her heart couldn't help but soften, and comforted her softly, "Everyone loses sometimes, this time I lose, know my shortcomings, go back and practice hard, so that I can go further in martial arts." ”

Zhou Lanru reluctantly collected her tears, she never liked to cry, but now somehow, Mo Ming felt a little wronged just now, and now she also felt that she was a little unreasonable, quite embarrassed, and asked casually, "Have you also lost?" ”

Lin Daiyu was silent for a while, but still replied, "No." ”

Zhou Lanru: You liar!

Zhou Lanru was about to speak, but Lin Daiyu seemed to hear something, suddenly covered Zhou Lanru's mouth, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Don't make a sound." Daiyu's voice was stern, Zhou Lanru was about to refute, but seeing Daiyu's serious expression, for some reason, she obediently stopped her mouth, and even her breathing was silently light, not daring to make a sound.
