Chapter 34: Its Charm
"This princess is a thousand taels, Miss Yu Er. ”
All the princes and princesses set their sights on the eldest princess who has a dull personality and does not care about the world.
King Luo happily got up and clenched his fists and said, "Eldest sister, Wisdom." ”
Everyone else rolled their eyes, Xuanyuan Jing meant that only the eldest princess had eyes, and they were blind, or even long-eyed.
The prince still smiled like a warm spring breeze, but his heart was very vigilant; Among the royal children, he has been with the eldest princess for the longest time, and he knows the eldest princess Xuanyuan Hua is quite insightful: "Why is the eldest sister so optimistic about Miss Yuer?"
Xuanyuan Hua's light eyes shone brightly, and he smiled: "It's very simple, she is the only one in the audience who is not nervous." ”
There are two kinds of not being nervous, one is that you feel hopeless, so you face it easily; One is that you are ready and ambitious.
The hourglass of Tianxiangtang dripped the last quicksand, and the eunuch with a sharp voice shouted: "It's time-"
The daughters who participated in the writing of poems put down their pens and began to pack up the four treasures of the study; Wait for the little eunuch to take away the works before walking out of Tianxiangtang.
As soon as Yu Qinli returned to the garden, she saw that the chess part on the stage was still continuing, and the painting part had entered the end, and Chu Qianqian and Yu Wanli were already making the final touches.
The emperor and many concubines are not in the position, and they will probably not appear until the ranking is announced.
She walked over to a clump of peony flowers and watched the bright colors of the flowers start.
"This is called rouge drunkenness, and the leader of each competition can get a rouge drunk peony. ”
Yu Qinli turned around, it was the eldest princess Xuanyuan Hua: "The courtier Yu Qinli sees the eldest princess." ”
"Get up!" Xuanyuan Hua stretched out his hand and stroked the red petals of Rouge Drunkenness and said: "The most charming thing about Rouge Drunk is not its complex and gorgeous flowers nor her rich and fragrant floral fragrance, but charm. ”
Xuanyuan Hua approached Yu Qinli, his eyes flashed with insight into everything: "Just like you, this princess has just stood in the distance, there are six princesses and the first talented girl Qiao Ruolan not far to your right, there are Feng Jiagan Jinfeng Qingyun on the left, and Concubine Xiao Liang and her daughters Second Princess and Ten Princesses in the capital, but the first thing that enters the eyes of this princess is you standing in front of the flower." ”
She looked at the flowers: "It's called charm, a charm that people can't ignore." ”
Yu Qinli sighed: "Qin'er is terrified, she can't help the eldest princess to praise her like this." ”
She wondered in her heart, the eldest princess was indifferent by nature, she lived in a simple place, and no matter how she flattered herself in her previous life, she was always indifferent to herself; Now take the initiative to get close, and there is no hostility between the eyebrows, I don't know why?
Yu Qinli glanced at her eyes, and the grandmother and maidservant beside the eldest princess were guarding them for four or five steps, this is something to say to her, she also waved her hand, and let Yue Rong and Yun Qian withdraw five steps away.
The eldest princess praised: "Look, it is not Hui Zhi Lanxin. ”
She stared straight at Yu Qinli, and her eyes couldn't be dodged: "Why did Miss Qin'er give up the prince and become King Qi?"
I was startled in my heart, but my expression was impassive: "Qin'er is terrified, I don't know what the eldest princess means by this?"
Xuanyuan Hua looked at her with deep meaning, his eyes were sharp, and the royal majesty made Yu Qinli unable to move: "Just literally." You deliberately let the prince withdraw from the marriage, and then let King Qi go to the Xiangguo Mansion to discuss marriage, you dare to say that this is not your plan?"
Hearing this, Yu Qinli hurriedly knelt down: "The eldest princess forgives her sins, Qin'er doesn't know where to let the eldest princess have such a misunderstanding? The crown prince Wen Taowu and His Royal Highness King Qi also have talents that have passed through the heavens and latitudes, how can Qin'er let the two princes be manipulated by me? The eldest princess's words are really tormenting the courtiers!"
Xuanyuan Hua looked at Yu Qinli for a while, and found that there were already some strange eyes around them, so he sighed: "Get up!"
"Princess Xie. ”
Yu Qinli showed an extremely frightened appearance, but she was very confused in her heart.
Eldest princess, this is a temptation, why do you do this?
Xuanyuan Hua suddenly smiled lightly: "Scaring you?" She took a step forward, leaning very close to Yu Qinli, with a wise look in her eyes: "Don't say anything else, don't lie to this princess, you are bold." ”
She took two steps back: "That's it! Princess Ben has nothing to do recently, announce that you will come to the princess's mansion another day, and you will also accompany Princess Ben to dinner." The queen is right, she has a good appetite for you. Splendid, jade silk, gone. ”
Yu Qin Lileng was on the spot, and saw that the eldest princess took two steps and turned back: "Come on today, this princess bets for the first time, and I don't want to lose all my money. ”
After finishing speaking, he turned around, and walked back to his seat with a good demeanor, and Yue Rong and Yun Qian ran anxiously: "Miss?"
She shook her head and told them not to worry, "Let's go back to our seats, too." ”
As soon as Yu Qinli returned to her seat, she found that many Ganjin looked at her with unkind eyes, and some even showed disdainful expressions, which she ignored.
Feng Roumin's face was gloomy and she said, "You just offended the eldest princess?"
"A misunderstanding, don't worry about it. Yu Qinli said lightly.
"Don't worry, I really shouldn't have taken you out, I'm just losing the face of Xiangguofu all the time!"
Yu Qinli looked at Feng Roumin with sharp eyes, and her tone was cold: "If Qin'er is not mistaken, when she entered the garden, she was ridiculed for not being able to walk, and finally fell into the pool, it seems that it is the eldest sister?"
Feng Roumin's eyes widened, her face turned red, and Yu Qinli's eyes skimmed to other places: "Qin'er persuaded her mother to pay attention to the eldest sister, she has many opponents today. ”
Feng Roumin snorted coldly, thinking that she had decided to get rid of Yu Qinli anyway, and she didn't mind if she jumped for a while.
Tonight, Wan'er was on Mu Qingxue's way at the beginning, and she had to keep an eye on it.
At this time, the two groups of competitions on the stage have ended, everyone has returned to their positions, the emperor and queen have returned to the garden, and the Wuji Dao Master of Sanqingguan has also joined the judging lineup, and everyone is waiting for the results to be announced.
There is no suspense in chess, Mu Qingxue defeated the lord of Yongle and became the leader of the chess project, and got the first rouge drunk from the queen today.
After Mu Qingxue thanked her, the spring breeze was proud, and she looked in the direction of Prince Xuanyuan Qi, and happened to see Xuanyuan Qi looking at her and smiling at her humbly, which made her blush.
When he returned to his seat, he immediately looked arrogant, walked back to his seat with his chin held high from her, and put the rouge drunk on the table, so that it was not ostentatious and eye-catching; But her goal today is not to get drunk, but to fall into the country.
Yu Wanli cursed in a low voice: "Damn slut, dare to design me!"
When Yu Qinli heard this, she took a sip of tea and sighed lightly: "Eldest sister has time to complain, it's better to think about it carefully, since Miss Mu has already set her sights on you, she will never stop like this." What would you do if she tried to play chess with you?"
Yu Wanli's face changed suddenly! Chess is her weakest project, Yu Qinli's speculation is possible, what should she do then? She must not be embarrassed on stage!
"Mother!"
"Don't be nervous, not necessarily. Feng Roumin comforted Yu Wanli while glaring at Yu Qinli angrily.
"Did you do it on purpose? disturb Wan'er's mood so that you can take advantage of it when you play the piano for a while?"
Yu Qinli smiled helplessly: "The eldest sister has superb piano skills, how can this little thing be difficult for her?"
Yes, it's deliberate, and she'll break down a little more when the results of the painting come out.
Daoist Wuji and the gentlemen of Hallym Academy and Hanxing Academy walked up to the test stage and began to announce the top three paintings.
The eunuchs brought three easels covered with red curtains to the stage and told the emperor that these three paintings were the top three works of this time.
The emperor looked in high spirits: "Announce it!"
The red curtain began to be unveiled from the third place, it was Zhang Qian, she painted a white-haired old man walking in a boat and wandering in the landscape, quite a leisurely artistic conception of walking alone on a thousand mountains.
Mr. Hanlin unveiled the second place, which was Yu Wanli.
She painted a pot-bellied old man, drunk and sleeping; The old man looks carefree and carefree, and he is wonderful.
Yu Wanli's face turned pale, and he couldn't listen to Mr.'s comments. If she doesn't get the first place, it means that if she doesn't get the first place, she will be insulated from Moyu Dumping Country!
Because one of the two must be static and moving, and get rouge drunk, only to be eligible to select the top three of the non-rudimentary scholars.
The audience also sighed for a while, to Yu Wanli
There were no first surprises; After all, she was also one of last year's leaders.
She didn't dare to look at her father Yu Tuxiong's face, let alone Prince Xuanyuan.
Mr. Hanlin walked to the easel of the first place, and the red curtain was pulled, which was Chu Qianqian's painting.
She painted a chivalrous man dancing a sword under the moon covered in silver, and the wine jar was scattered in the snow; There are also two poems attached to it: "Shake hands with life and death, swing a sword to cut the red dust".
The freedom of life lies in liberating the shackles of the world and controlling everything in one's own hands.
The audience roared!
Chu Qianqian, who has not yet reached the end of the year, defeated Yu Wanli at the beginning of this year and won the top spot in the painting.
Many people kept congratulating Lord Chu and his wife, and Chu Qianqian gracefully stepped forward to receive the queen's reward rouge drunk, with the youthfulness of a girl between her eyebrows, and the heroism of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, which is quite consistent with the temperament of the painting, and also won the appreciation of everyone present.
The eyes of the descendants of many families lit up, and the capital wanted to produce a talented woman comparable to Qiao Ruolan and Feng Qingyun.
Yu Wanli's face was pale, his hands were tightly twisted in his hands, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or worried.
Then, three wooden frames were moved to the stage, which were the first three poems of the poem, which were hung on the shelves and covered with red curtains, which was very attractive.
This year's competition in the poetry group is particularly interesting, because the two talented women in the Southern Desert are both writing poetry groups; Everyone had no suspense, thinking that the first or two names above must be Qiao Ruolan and Feng Qingyun; As for third place, sorry no one cares.
Everyone looked up, hoping to get a glimpse of whether Qiao Ruolan defeated Feng Qingyun, or Feng Qingyun was better than Qiao Ruolan? After all, these two people were the favorites of Moyu to fall into the country.
I saw the Wuji Dao Leader of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone holding the dust and slowly walking to the stage.
He has white eyebrows and white beards, and his movements are like immortals, and after he waved at the emperor and queen, he said with a long luck: "Today's poems have opened the eyes of poor people; These three works, if you don't see them with your own eyes, it's hard to believe, they are from the hands of the boudoir woman. ”
Wuji Dao Chief's words made everyone even more itchy and uncomfortable, especially this ranking, which is related to the silver two of many people....
"The Taoist will be revealed!" The emperor has been very good in recent years, and he is also very concerned about this year's poems, and his voice is faintly anxious.
I saw the Wuji Dao Leader lift up from the red curtain of the third place-
Third place, Feng Qingyun.
