Chapter 131: Poetry and Painting
Princess Changping glanced at Lord Fumin, and said pointedly: "Even if it's a few words of contradiction, forget about the past!" ā
Don't mention it today, lest you lose your interest.
As soon as Princess Changping spoke, the county lord of Fumin didn't dare to speak presumptuously, glared at Ling Jingshu fiercely, and then withdrew his gaze stupidly.
Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully at Princess Changping: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Princess, for upholding justice for our sisters." ā
Princess Changping smiled casually: "A little thing, it's not worth mentioning." He smiled and said to everyone: "You go up to the third floor of the viewing pavilion with the main palace, which is the most suitable place to enjoy the lotus." ā
All the maidens should be down.
The pavilion has three floors. The lowest floor can accommodate thirty or forty people, and the second and third floors are smaller, and about twenty people can be seated.
About ten people have come to the feast today. The maids all stayed on the second floor. A few palace maids who played music followed to the third floor.
Through the delicate openwork balustrade, the view of the lake is unobstructed. The pure white light gauze hung gently, and the floor was covered with a white and soft blanket. Rosewood tables and chairs are placed on the blankets, and various fresh fruit snacks are placed on each table, which happens to be a table for two people.
The first and second floors of the viewing pavilion are also exquisite, but compared to the luxury of the third floor, they are far behind.
Princess Changping obviously often feasted here for fun, and stepped on the white blanket without pity and sat in the top position. Lord Fumin sat down beside her as a matter of course.
Jiang Shi and Jiang Rongyue sat at a table, and Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan sat at the corner of the seat.
"Ashu," Ling Jingyan lowered her voice and whispered, "This kind of blanket is made outside the Saiwai, and the price is extremely high. We also have a piece in the house, which was stored in the warehouse by my mother! ā
Princess Changping took it and put it on the ground, maybe she would use it once and then throw it away. It's really extravagant and wasteful, and it's staggering.
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes, glanced at the smiling bright and brilliant Princess Changping from a distance, and quickly lowered her eyelids again, and said lightly: "With the respect of Her Royal Highness the Princess, all kinds of good things in the world can be used." ā
Ling Jingyan was stunned and glanced at Ling Jingshu strangely.
This kind of talk. It's not like she'd say it.
Ling Jingshu raised her head with a calm expression. smiled and said to Ling Jingyan: "Don't look stupid. There are so many delicious fruits on the table, and I haven't tasted them yet. ā
It was summer, and the weather was a bit hot. But. The observation pavilion is located in the middle of the lake, and the wind blowing on the lake is refreshing. Most of those fresh fruits are also rare in this season.
Ling Jingyan only looked at it twice, and was aroused. It is natural to leave all doubts behind. I picked up one and ate it.
ā¦ā¦
The palace ladies sitting on the side. He played the instrument in his hand. I don't know what kind of tune it is playing, but it is quite cheerful and pleasant.
Everyone ate some fresh fruit snacks. I drank some tea and gossiped casually, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Princess Changping clapped her hands gently, and the music stopped.
Princess Changping said with a smile: "Everyone. Today is a lotus feast, and the theme is to take lotus flowers. The lotus flowers and lotus leaves of this lake are graceful and graceful. Too many beautiful things. Next, we will enjoy each lotus, and then show our strengths. How about painting and poetry? ā
Boudoir girls' party. It's about elegance, and it's not suitable to drink alcohol and drink alcohol. Appreciating singing and dancing is too old-fashioned, and composing poems and paintings is exactly what everyone wants.
Su Ying smiled and responded, "Her Royal Highness the princess is very good at mentioning yƬ. Don't know if there's a time limit? Also, when composing poems and paintings, can anyone be judged? Does the winner have some jackpots? ā
Princess Changping replied with a smile: "Whether you are writing poetry or painting, it is not beautiful in a hurry, so there is no need to worry." It's good to have an hour. As for the judgment, this palace will be cheeky and make a judgment. If the poem is done well, or the painting is done well, you can take it from the viewing pavilion today to make a colorful head. ā
The pavilion is lavishly furnished, and even the vases on the table are rare treasures.
Of course, those who are qualified to come to the banquet are all famous ladies, so they will not take the color in their eyes. Bo is just a fun.
Jiang Rongyue was the first to smile and clapped her hands: "Her Royal Highness the princess is so generous, then we are not welcome today." ā
Everyone laughed and agreed.
"Today's leader, you don't need to compare to know, it must be Miss Su Er."
The girl sitting next to Su Ying covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss Su Er's poetry and painting are unique, if you say second in the capital, no one dares to call it first." With Miss Su Er here today, where do we still have a chance. ā
This banter is half-true and half-false, and there is inevitably a hint of sourness.
Su Ying was probably used to hearing such praise, so she smiled and humbled herself: "Miss Li Si praised it falsely." Although I have some attainments in poetry and painting, I have no shame to be called the first. ā
Jiang Rongyue took over the conversation with a smile: "Sister Su is too polite to say this." With you, it's really not interesting for us to compare and go. In my opinion, you don't end up today, and it's best to judge with Her Royal Highness the Princess. ā
This mention is obviously very much in line with everyone's wishes.
Su Ying responded half-pushed and half-responded on the spot.
Ling Jingshu was secretly a little surprised in her heart.
Jiang Rongyue and Su Ying spoke in a rather casual tone, obviously very familiar. If you say how good the relationship is, but it is not necessarily, there is a hint of a different sign......
The girls began to rack their brains and meditate.
The palace maids cleaned up the table lightly and neatly, and presented the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in an orderly manner.
Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu were no exception, there were stacks of white rice paper on the table in front of her, paints for painting, inkstones and ink ingots for writing, and brushes of different sizes. Everything is of the highest quality.
Most of the famous ladies present were full of poetry and books, and they were good at calligraphy and painting. Even if you are not very proficient, it is always no problem to make a lotus picture with a pen.
Ling Jingyan looked into the distance and watched carefully for a long time before she started writing.
Those who move a little slower also move at the time of tea. An hour is not short, but it is not long. To draw a picture of a lotus flower and then write a poem, the difficulty is by no means small.
Ling Jingshu sat quietly without moving, staring at the lake.
Ling Jingyan was busy typing the draft, and when she looked up, she saw that the paper in front of Ling Jingshu was still blank, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Ashu, half of the time has passed, why don't you still use your pen?" ā
If it continues like this, it will be too late.
Ling Jingshu smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when a contemptuous sneer rang out: "If you don't have the shame to write, give up early, so as not to be embarrassed later." (To be continued.) )
