CHAPTER XXVII
"It's not me who loses, what's there to be ashamed of? It's a shame for someone today" Huang Die'er glanced at Ruolan's direction and said, she has long been unaccustomed to Mingzhu's arrogance, and today she finally got the opportunity, how could she let it go so easily?
"Hmph" Mingzhu's face turned green, "Hmph, when I win all the games, then they will know that Chu Ruolan is just a vase and can only be used as an ornament, and only I, the Lord of Mingzhu, am a beauty with both talent and appearance!" Mingzhu thought hatefully in her heart.
When all the contestants are ready, the hourglass on the side will start to time, and the hourglass will run out, and the painting will stop. When there is still a quarter of the sand in the hourglass, the pearl is completed, followed by Huang Die'er is also completed, and when the hourglass is exhausted, everyone's works are held up by the attendants to show everyone in turn, and the inscription on the painting is read out loud, and then it is handed over to the emperor Leng Longyuan.
Leng Longyuan carefully watched each work, and at the same time, the audience was quietly discussing the paintings and poems just displayed. At the beginning, the scope of the paintings discussed was relatively wide, and then gradually concentrated on the paintings of Mingzhu and Huang Die'er, some thought that Mingzhu's paintings were more beautiful, and some thought that Huang Die'er's poems were more exquisite, so it was difficult to distinguish them for a while.
"The works of this competition are all excellent works, I am very pleased, there are two works that are particularly prominent, so that I am difficult to choose" The emperor Leng Longyuan gave a look, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly lifted the two works placed in front of the emperor, which were the works of Mingzhu and Huang Die'er.
"I don't know what the people here think? Today is a party, not a court to discuss national affairs, so there is no need to be formal, but it doesn't hurt to say that "the emperor is a thousand-year-old demon fox, very cunning, these two works have their own merits, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and it is biased to evaluate any of the winning works, so it is better to kick this problem out."
"The last general Feng knows to see the emperor, long live my emperor"
"There is no need to be polite today, please get up, I only know that General Feng is good at fighting, and I never want to study calligraphy and painting."
"The emperor has won the award, I don't dare to study, just a little bit of the fur so I stepped forward to throw bricks and lead the jade, the last general thinks that the painting of the pearl county lord is slightly better, first of all, from the artistic conception, the pearl county lord painted is Lamei proud snow to welcome spring, Lamei ignores the cold and proud snow of the cold winter and opens, only for the spring it is waiting for and guarding is about to come quietly, the last general will follow General Chu, no matter how powerful the enemy is encountered on the battlefield or how dangerous the battle situation is, I never thought of giving up, because General Chu once told us, We are the plum blossoms of the proud snow, the battlefield is the cold snow where we live, and the country is the spring we want to protect. Therefore, the last general thinks that the pearl county lord's Lamei Aoxue Spring Festival picture is much more abyss than Miss Huang Dieer's flower peony rich and noble picture. Secondly, the pearl county lord can be the first to complete such a vivid painting, which shows its profound painting heritage, therefore, the last general thinks that the pearl county lord is better! After speaking, Feng Zhixiao secretly glanced at Mingzhu and stepped aside.
"Yes, good! I don't think I think about what a Wenchen said, I didn't expect that the generals of my dynasty would also have such cultivation, which really made me happy, why worry about the unity and stability of my dynasty with such a general who is both civil and military? ! Although the emperor responded to Feng Zhizhi's words, his eyes were full of appreciation for Chu Lingfei.
"Grass people Li Qi, long live the emperor, the queen's mother is a thousand years old, according to the grass people's opinion, Miss Huang Die'er should be slightly better, the artistic conception of the pearl county lord is good, but Miss Huang Die'er's artistic conception is not bad, her flower peony is rich and noble, isn't it a portrayal of the prosperity of our Long Ling Kingdom under the leadership of our wise emperor? Why can't it compare to the artistic conception of Princess Mingzhu? And this is a calligraphy and painting competition, which is not only about paintings, but also about books, so how can poetry be ignored? Miss Huang Die'er's poem "Li Qi is the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and he has liked Huang Dieer since he was a child, and now he is inevitably a little indignant when he sees his sweetheart being belittled. There was a heated discussion here, and Ruolan was not idle there.
"Brother, I didn't expect your subordinates to be so artistic, obviously they wanted to please the girl they liked, and they didn't forget to bring you, the general, by the way" Ruolan turned sideways and whispered beside Chu Lingfei. Chu Lingfei's face was suddenly full of black lines, is it good or bad to have such a little sister who has seen everything so thoroughly? Who can tell him?
"Puff~ Ruolan, do you need to say it so obviously? Shouldn't you be happy if someone praises your brother? "Although Leng Yun doesn't like to be smuggled, who doesn't like to listen to good people, especially women, shouldn't they be happy to hear someone praise their brother?
"You know what? I'm doing this for my brother's good! Do you think that if you were a military general, you would be disdainful of being like your general in public? Ruolan said slowly while sipping tea, while observing Ling Fei's expression.
"No!" Leng Yun thought for a while and replied cautiously, and at the same time, his eyes were also meaningful, and Feng Zhizhi, who had been invisible since he had just expressed his opinion, made people not have the slightest sense of existence for him.
"That's it, look at the opinions now, which one is not a civil official or the son of a prince or nobleman?" Ruolan glanced at the few people who had expressed their opinions since Feng knew about it, and said slowly.
Glancing at the people in the field, just as Ruolan said, Chu Lingfei, who didn't care very much, also concentrated and listened carefully to Ruolan's next words. Leng Yun frowned even more. There are two possibilities for him to do this: one is: he likes Princess Pearl and hopes that his life in the army will be better, so he will take this opportunity to please Princess Pearl and pat my eldest brother on the back by the way. There is also a kind of thing: what goal does he want to achieve by approaching Princess Mingzhu or winning over the eldest brother, if this is the case, "If this is really the case, then I am afraid it will not be a trivial matter, Ruolan said and couldn't help but lock her brows tightly.
"No matter what his purpose is, let's not startle the snake first, observe in the dark and then say" Chu Lingfei didn't know much about this general, he was not originally a person under his account, he was transferred later, and he went out with him once, that time they were ambushed by the enemy, and the soldiers were depressed, in order to boost the morale of the army, he did say that, but then the enemy country came to repair peace and never fought, so he didn't know him very well.
"Yes"
"En," Ruolan and Leng Yun responded in unison. Then they turned their attention to the game in front of them. Since Peng Fei had been paying attention to the game, he was sitting some distance away from them, and the lively discussion was enough to cover Ruolan's voice, so Peng Fei didn't know what Ruolan and they had just discussed.
"Since the existing two works can't be separated, it's better to draw, the lord of Mingzhu and Huang Die'er win together, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" Empress Yunyan looked at these almost quarrelsome discussions in front of her, a little bored, and opened her mouth to suggest to Leng Longyuan beside her.
"What the queen said is very true, what do you think?" He was also a little bored, but he picked the head at first, and now it is not good to interrupt, but fortunately, Yun Yan spoke. Leng Longyuan glanced at Yun Yan beside him gratefully.
"The emperor is wise, the queen is wise" The emperor said it well, can they say it badly?
"The calligraphy and painting competition, because the paintings of the lord of Mingzhu and Huang Dieer are evenly divided, so they win together" The eunuch who got the emperor's gesture hurriedly stepped forward to announce.
"I didn't expect the pretentious Pearl Princess to be just the same level as Die'er" The winner of each year is Mingzhu, I didn't expect her to become one of the winners this year, although it is "one" but she is already very happy, seeing the pearl with a vegetable next to her, I thought of the way she used to show off after winning, and couldn't help but want to hit her, and besides, wouldn't it be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity to hit Mingzhu?
"Hmph, don't think that you are one of the winners, there is nothing great about it, if it weren't for the fact that this county lord was misplayed by Chu Ruolan's demon spirit today, there would be nothing wrong with you at this moment!" Looking at Huang Die'er standing side by side with her, Mingzhu's eyes were about to stare down, and she was angry, blaming that Chu Ruolan!
"What's the use of you glaring at me? Have the ability to wait for Chu Ruolan to go, I'm afraid that you will be blocked by her admirers before you get close to her" Huang Die'er did not show weakness, she loved that Chu Ruolan to death, and so far few people are Mingzhu's opponents, she didn't need her to do anything at all, and Mingzhu was half angry, haha~ When the party is over, you must go to meet her.
