Chapter 119: Poetry Contest
Painting, chanting, dancing...... It's a feast for the eyes.
Chu Qingli ate the oranges that Du Qinghe peeled for himself, put his arm on the arm of the chair, leaned on the high platform, and whispered a few words to Du Qinghe from time to time, as if she was just a spectator.
Almost everyone went to the high stage to show it, and Shen Qiuyu even went on stage to show it three or four times, just to show off the limelight, but now only Chu Qingli is left to show it.
How could Shen Qiuyu let Chu Qingli go so easily, she got up and looked at Chu Qingli, "Why didn't the princess go up to the high platform to show it, and let Miss Jingcheng see the princess's talent." ”
Chu Qingli ate oranges in his mouth and looked at Shen Qiuyu coldly. Shen Qiuyu was despised by Chu Qingli, and her heart was filled with anger, but the smile on her face did not decrease by half.
"The princess can't be without talents to show, right? It's impossible, this princess of the Great Apocalypse must be outstanding. Shen Qiuyu used words to force Chu Qing to come to power.
Chu Qingli put down the oranges that had not yet been eaten and clapped her hands, originally she was ready to show it today, but now the scene is much better than she guessed, after all, not everyone has to play the piano and paint, she still has a choice.
Chu Qingli took off all the beads on his head, and when everyone saw this, they all talked about it, not knowing what Chu Qingli meant. They have never seen any talent that needs to be taken off.
Shen Qiuyu also looked at Chu Qingli curiously, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd. Shen Qiuyu had already inquired clearly before, Chu Qingli was not good at these, so she tried her best to let Chu Qingli come to participate in the Yaji, but seeing Chu Qingli's appearance, there was no timidity, could it be that she heard the wrong news.
Shen Qiuyu looked at Chu Qingli suspiciously, and at the same time, he peeked at Xiao Pan's expression from time to time. Although she was sitting next to Xiao Pan, but when Shen Qiuyu asked, Xiao Pan replied, never saying a word more, and it took a lot of energy to talk like this.
When Xiao Pan saw Chu Qingli walking onto the high platform, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and his eyes always followed Chu Qingli's figure.
Shen Qiuyu watched from the sidelines, secretly clenched his fingers, and when the other women showed it, Xiao Pan was very interested, but as soon as he saw Chu Qingli, he immediately straightened his back, showing full expectation.
Shen Qiuyu's hateful teeth itched, and she could only cast a vicious gaze at Chu Qingli, she really couldn't see that Chu Qingli had anything irreplaceable.
Chu Qingli walked up the stone steps, and when he passed by the guard, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the guard's sword.
"Princess?" The guards were shocked, and their swords could not be easily taken by others.
Chu Qingli didn't care much, "Borrow it from me." ”
Chu Qingli put the sword behind her back with her backhand, and her steps were dashing, like an unbridled woman.
Chu Qingli walked onto the high platform, bowed to the surroundings, and then began to dance the sword to everyone in the audience. The sword is like frost and snow, although it is a long sword like a mang, but the posture of the air is like a rainbow, which does not hide her elegant and outstanding temperament at all.
After a sword dance, Chu Qing left the guard facing Fang Cai, raised his hand, and threw the sword back into his hand.
What a graceful and suave manner, although Chu Qingli is a woman, it also attracts the hearts of all the women present.
Shen Qiuyu originally wanted Chu Qing to lose face in public, but who would have thought that she used a dancing sword to get by, but she still attracted everyone's admiration.
Shen Qiuyu got up, her face full of displeasure, but she still had applause in her hands. "The princess's sword dance is really heroic, but today is an elegant gathering, and the princess is afraid that it is a little out of line."
Chu Qingli took the towel handed over by Du Qinghe and wiped the beads of sweat from his palm. Chu Qingli looked at Shen Qiuyu coldly, "Poetry and poetry are elegant, isn't this sword indecent?" Miss Shen did not mention in the invitation that she was not allowed to wield knives and guns. ”
Shen Qiuyu was angry, took a deep breath, and calmed the anger in his heart, "Although I didn't say it explicitly, everyone knows that it is very dangerous to dance with a knife and a gun, and naturally it has nothing to do with 'Ya', and I ask the princess to show it again." ”
Chu Qingli didn't listen, and sat down on the chair, "This elegance is a kind of humor, if everyone thinks it is elegant and looks interested, why is it indecent?" Why is Miss Shen so aggressive? ”
Shen Qiuyu's face turned red and white, "It's not that I'm aggressive, I'm afraid that the princess has broken the rules." ”
Chu Qing was disdainful, it was Shen Qiuyu who suddenly held an elegant gathering, and he didn't set the rules, but now he came to blame her, which was really ridiculous.
Chu Qingli didn't bother to argue with her, she knew that Shen Qiuyu just wanted her to lose face, no matter how she explained, Shen Qiuyu would not listen.
"Since the two of us insist on our own words, arguing endlessly is not a solution, Miss Shen said, poetry and song are 'elegant', then so, I am here to compose a poem, if Miss Shen can make a better poem than me, then I will admit that it is I who broke the rules, I apologize to Miss Shen, but if Miss Shen can't do it, then Miss Shen will compensate me, what does Miss Shen think?" Chu Qingli consulted Shen Qiuyu's opinion.
Shen Qiuyu glanced at the eunuch woman who was seated, her father was above the court, and she had a lot of dealings with Xuanguo Gong, if she showed weakness at this moment, wouldn't she be ridiculed. Besides, Chu Qingli will also use medical skills to fool people, but she has read poetry and books since she was a child, and she finished reading the four books at the age of ten, can she still lose to Chu Qingli? Thinking like this, Shen Qiuyu nodded in response.
But why is Chu Qingli so confident?
"Princess, can you do it?" Du Qinghe also had doubts about Chu Qingli, and he didn't see Chu Qingli chanting poems and painting on weekdays, why did he still take this out for a test today?
Chu Qingli turned his head and glared at Du Qinghe, why didn't even she believe in herself, did she look so unreliable on weekdays? Chu Qingli raised his hand and signaled Du Qinghe not to worry.
Chu Qing hooked the corner of his mouth and looked at Shen Qiuyu with a wicked smile, "Then Miss Shen is optimistic, please listen carefully." ”
Chu Qingli paced back and forth in front of his chair, which poem should he memorize? After memorizing so many poems in nine years of compulsory education, it was really difficult to choose for a while.
Shen Qiuyu saw that Chu Qingli hadn't written poetry for a long time, thinking that she didn't know how to compose poetry at all, and she was just making a show.
"Princess, I wonder if you have brewed this poem?" Shen Qiuyu looked like she was waiting to watch the play, if she couldn't write a poem at that time, but there was really a good show to watch, Xiao Pan would know that Chu Qing was just a vulgar woman, how could she be worthy of him?
Chu Qingli frowned and blamed, "Miss Shen, don't worry, you have to think about this good poem." ”
"Okay, then let's all wait for the princess to see when she will be able to compose poems?"
