Chapter 149: Chrysanthemum appreciation

When the words fell, a eunuch came up with a few pots of blooming chrysanthemums.

These pots of chrysanthemums are very beautiful, and the most rare thing is that they are of different colors and varieties.

Gu Xueyan glanced at these pots of chrysanthemums, then looked at the Queen Mother, and said with a smile, "I don't know where Niangniang got these pots of treasures, but it opened my eyes and feasted my eyes." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other ladies echoed them.

Hearing this, Concubine Hua's eyes darkened, but she didn't expect that Gu Xueyan would not forget to show her limelight wherever she went

She stood up and curtsied to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, it's not interesting to just appreciate chrysanthemums, why don't we take chrysanthemums as the theme, each inscribe a poem, and then the queen mother will decide the winner, I don't know what the queen thinks?" ”

Gu Xueyan looked at Concubine Hua's graceful and luxurious appearance, and a dark glint crossed her eyes.

"Yes, yes, Queen Mother." The two daughters of the Yuwen family also followed.

"Okay, since you all like it, then do it, come on, pen, ink, paper, and ink." The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan nodded with a smile and ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Soon, the palace people brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The ladies of the official family racked their brains and wanted to shine at this banquet.

Soon, someone wrote it, and the palace people took the paper to the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan looked at these verses, shook her head from time to time, or frowned.

After Concubine Hua's submission, the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan finally showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing this, Concubine Hua showed a proud smile.

When Gu Xueyan presented it, the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan directly praised it, "Xueyan's poems are good." ”

"Xie Niangniang's compliment." Gu Xueyan showed a faint smile, as if this matter had been expected by her for a long time.

"Queen Mother, I don't know what poems Miss Gu wrote to make the Queen Mother so happy?" Concubine Hua stood up and asked with a smile.

"The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor." When the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan saw that Concubine Hua asked, and many people in the audience were looking forward to it, she recited this poem by chance.

As soon as this poem came out, many aristocratic girls present had different faces.

Concubine Yun chuckled, she didn't expect this Gu Xueyan to praise the soldiers in the army with this, but she didn't know whether to praise the soldiers or someone.

Shu Zhaoyi pursed her lips, feeling that this Gu Xueyan was not as good

That's what was rumored out there.

Gu Xueyan didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan would suddenly read out the poem she had written, and lowered her head a little embarrassed.

The daughter of the Zhou family, who was good friends with Gu Xueyan, said happily, "Xueyan, you are so powerful, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." ”

Gu Xueyan glanced at the daughter of the Zhou family with disgust, "How can you say that you are so powerful, there are people who write better than me, don't say that." ”

The young lady of the Yuwen family also came over, "Sister Xueyan, you are so modest, even your aunt praises you." ”

"Qing'er, I'm going to be angry if you keep talking." Gu Xueyan looked at Yu Wenqing and pretended to be angry.

"I know it's wrong, Sister Xueyan, don't be angry." Yu Wenqing saw that Gu Xueyan seemed to be really angry, and hurriedly begged for mercy pitifully.

"Then don't say any more." Gu Xueyan said good-naturedly, she was really not angry.

"Hehe, I know that Sister Xueyan is the best." Yu Wenqing held Gu Xueyan's hand and said happily.

Yu Wenxing walked over and stood aside just smiling and not speaking.

"Sister Xing'er, what kind of poem did you compose?" Gu Xueyan looked at Yu Wenxing, took the initiative to take her hand and asked.

Yuwen Xing's face was red, her head was lowered, and her voice was almost inaudible, "Where is the poem written by my sister comparable to what my sister wrote." ”

Gu Xueyan patted her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, my sister's writing has always been good, don't be afraid." ”

Yuwen Xing still shook her head, her eyes were very clear and wet, like a lost deer in the forest.

Seeing that Yuwenxing refused to take it out, Gu Xueyan no longer insisted on it, just right, she was afraid that Yuwenxing would steal the limelight from her.

Others don't know, doesn't she know, Yuwenxing's writing skills are very good, if Yuwenxing really takes out the poems she wrote, I'm afraid the limelight at this banquet will not be her own.

"The Queen Mother, the concubine wrote a sentence, I don't know if I might ask the Queen Mother to comment on the concubine." Shu Zhaoyi stood up suddenly, raised the paper in his hand and said loudly.

For a while, everyone in the audience looked at Shu Zhaoyi, and her limelight even overshadowed Gu Xueyan's limelight.

Gu Xueyan looked at Shu Zhaoyi with some unwillingness, bit her lower lip, and finally looked at Shu Zhaoyi with a soft smile on her face.

Shu Shu shuddered suddenly, how could she feel so cold, as if she was being targeted, no, she must have thought too much.

Concubine Yun watched Shu Zhaoyi's face turn white all of a sudden, and was a little worried, so she quietly pulled the hem of her skirt and asked her what was wrong with her eyes.

Shu Zhaoyi shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan was a little interested, and she asked Li Sheng to take the piece of paper.

"Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come back to chrysanthemums."

When the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan saw this poem, she couldn't help but read it, and after reading it, she looked at Shu Zhaoyi with appreciation.

"Shu Zhaoyi has made good progress recently, Mama Hua, go back and send the hairpin of the pink pearl of the mourning family to Shu Zhaoyi, and in addition, reward the pair of phoenix dance hairpins of the mourning family to Xue Yan." The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan put down the poem in her hand and said.

"Thank you for the reward." Gu Xueyan and Shu Zhaoyi curtsied and thanked them.

After sitting with these young ladies for a while, the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan stood up and said, "You guys play, the mourning family is a little tired, so go back first." ”

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." Concubine Hua and Concubine Yun stepped forward to the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan and said, "Leave it to us here, don't worry." ”

"Well, if anything happens, you go to the Cixi Hall to find the mourning family." After the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan said this, she left with the support of Mama Hua and Bai Yu.

After she left, Concubine Hua and Concubine Yun let the others play by themselves, without restraint.

Seeing this, these ladies got together in twos and threes.

Concubine Yun and Shu Zhaoyi also sat together, whispering.

"Sister Yun, have you drunk the soup sent by Xiao Jiang? After I drank it, I found that it was delicious, but unfortunately Xiao Jiang only sent so much every time. Shu Zhaoyi supported her chin with both hands, looked at the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden, and said unhappily.

"I must have drunk it, you also know that it is delicious, then Xiao Jiang will definitely not give us more to drink, and it is not good to drink too much of these soups, besides, if you drink too much, how can you exercise, don't think I don't know, you are the kind of person who refuses to move when you are full." Concubine Yun looked at Shu Zhaoyi's unhappy appearance and pinched her somewhat chubby cheeks.

Shu Zhaoyi looked at Concubine Yun and kneaded her face again, and said with some helplessness: "Sister Yun, mud ...... Let go....... ”

"Good." Concubine Yun looked at Shu Zhaoyi's cute appearance, was very happy, and continued to knead.

In the end, Shu Shu was helpless, so she could only let Concubine Yun knead and sit motionless.

Hong Yu looked at the two of them, glanced at Shu Zhaoyi's maid, and sneered.
