Chapter Thirty-Four: The County Lord's Lottery

At this time, some palace people preached loudly: "The queen mother has arrived!" The lady lady is here! Concubine Hui is here! ”

The wives and ladies of the officials in Cuiwei Courtyard naturally whispered hello, and they couldn't help but greet each other, and then entered the banquet.

Lin Zhiyu followed her cousin to sit in the upper position of the banquet, and the sister-in-law and the second aunt were naturally a little farther away.

"I know that the imperial concubine didn't come!" The cousin whispered. On such occasions, the imperial concubine Niangniang wants to come and rarely socialize.

Sitting in the center of the main hall, the queen wearing a red curtain and a nine-tailed phoenix crown was bright and moving, not angry and arrogant, and looked at everyone: "The emperor is naturally happy to come back, this palace invites you to come today, and the ladies don't have to be restrained, and they are looking for fun." After speaking, the phoenix sleeves were covered, and the first drink was respected.

When the ladies and ladies got the order, they naturally drank lightly, and the palace was also drunk and drunk.

After a while, Concubine Hui, who was sitting on the side of the queen's right, said with a smile: "Sister queen, this banquet is so boring. I'm afraid that the ladies and ladies also feel bored, why don't you ask the ladies to write poems to meet the occasion? ”

"What do you think, ladies?"

A trace of displeasure flashed quickly on the queen's face, and she looked smiling again, which was very well hidden.

Ladies and ladies naturally have no objections, such an occasion should be like this, but anyone whose daughter is a little talented is eager to try.

"Since it's a competition for young ladies, you should always ask for a lottery, Sister Queen, Sister Lady, what do you say?"

"Sister Shufei is very clever, is this thinking about the queen's sister's baby?" Concubine Shu, who was sitting on the left side of the queen, smiled and joked.

"I answered my sister's! That's it, if any young lady wins the championship today, the palace will reward this red gold inlaid purple jade bracelet. The queen said as she removed a jade bracelet from Hao's wrist.

The ladies couldn't help but sigh below, purple jade is already rare, not to mention that this is inlaid with red gold, it is even more valuable, I am afraid that my own master will not be able to buy it for a year!

"I can't take out the only bracelet of the queen's sister, so the concubine will also mean it! This tassel pink jade intarsia hairpin is also the concubine's heart, why don't you take it out and add a color! Concubine Hui said as she took a hairpin from her hair.

However, the lady below is also like a mirror in her heart, this pink hairpin is not to mention the mother's heart, it is an ordinary, and her own daughter can't get it, after all, Concubine Hui's niece, Lin Jiao, the famous daughter of the head of the capital is also on this table today, and Concubine Hui's things are naturally to be rewarded to her!

"The queen mother and sister Hui are both big hands, this concubine doesn't have any expensive jewelry hairpins!"

"That's not good, Sister Shufei doesn't want to come to the queen's banquet for nothing today?" Concubine Hui immediately picked it up.

After a pause, Concubine Shu said again: "Then let's do it, if you get the eyes of this palace today, this palace will recognize her as a goddaughter!" ”

Hearing this, all the ladies present are not calm! No matter how valuable the queen's reward is, it is just a dead thing. If your daughter is favored by the lady and flies on the branches, she will be the leader of the group! Such a noble honor to make a color head, you can't touch it on weekdays!

"It's still the sister of the concubine who will be ingratiating, this is reluctant to talk about jewelry, and I want to have a girl for nothing!"

"This sister laughed, if I had a gentle and virtuous daughter like Princess Jiamin, the queen's mother, I wouldn't be greedy."

I don't know what kind of demon moth this concubine wants to drill? However, Lin Zhuyu can be sure that there must be a plan behind this, otherwise how could Concubine Shu recognize a daughter as the county lord for no reason? The left just wants to consolidate his position or win over the power of the courtiers!

Seeing that everyone was almost discussed, the queen said: "Since the poem is written, the title of the palace is limited!" Today, this is the emperor's return to cheer up, so the ladies will write poems from it! The time limit of one stick of incense is limited. ”

As soon as the queen Chrysostom came out, there were palace people behind her to present pen and ink, and for a while, the young ladies of each family were meditating, and no one paid attention to the second aunt and sister in the corner of the corner after hearing the title of the queen's mother, and the corner of the mouth was like a puzzle, and the sister was even more determined to win.

After almost half a burnt incense time, a pink brocade dress covered with white yarn, green silk like a waterfall, it looked like a full of aura, and the girl took the lead in presenting her own poems. With a proud face, he glanced at the people who were still pondering.

Lin Zhuyu was naturally thinking about it, but he thought about how to not be brilliant! It's okay to write one by yourself, but I'm afraid it's going to be a bad thing! With his basic zero ancient poetic power, he has no doubt that he will be completely defeated by the daughters here. It's just that if you copy a poem completely, I'm afraid it won't work, and if it's too well written, it will definitely make a big splash.

Besides, she has no interest in what kind of reward, if it can be used to make money, it is true, and how can the things that are rewarded by the mother be sold? As for Concubine Shu's daughter, she can't even think about it, Concubine Shu doesn't want her own life, even if it's okay, although I don't know why Concubine Shu is so aimed at herself!

The queen who sat on the top finished reading the poem of the girl in pink, and couldn't help but praise, "Hubu Shangshu gave birth to a clever and good daughter, and the palace looks at this poem, and it looks like everyone's handwriting!" Sister Shufei, look, isn't this a ready-made good girl? ”

The queen crossed Concubine Hui and didn't ask, but asked about Concubine Shu, if Concubine Shu recognized Lin Jiao, the daughter of the Ministry of Shangshu, then the queen would laugh and watch the two tigers fight for a meal.

"It's good for the concubine to look at this girl, but Sister Hui is afraid that she won't cut her love, her niece is like an aunt, and her niece is like an aunt!"

Such a small plan of discord Concubine Shu naturally chuckled and fooled over.

The woman in pink was not Lin Jiao, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, her face changed almost inaudibly, and she bent down and said shallowly: "The queen mother is in love!" ”

The time for a stick of incense gradually came, and most of the official women present had loosened their pens, some with confident smiles on their faces, while others were shallow disappointed, blaming themselves for not being good at learning. The female officials came over and collected them one by one, and then the queen and the two ladies commented.

As soon as Lin Zhuyu turned around, he saw that Sister Shu looked determined to win, and the smile on her face almost couldn't help overflowing. On the other hand, the second aunt, after all, has been in charge of the family for many years, and she has long liked to hide her expression, but at this time she has a calm expression. And what about the sister-in-law? With his head down, he didn't see much of his expression, but it didn't seem to be very good at poetry.

I don't know why this sister has this expression? Is it possible to have an absolute grasp of your own poems? Father is a good teacher of Sister Shu's poetry, but after all, Sister Shu is also the first time to enter the palace, there are people outside this person, there is a sky outside the sky, who is not a good lady? Lin Jiao is just arrogant, and she has no ambition to win!

It's unreasonable, I don't know what tricks these two aunts have?
