Chapter 69: Paradoxical
She deliberately wore a plain brocade jade Luo shirt today, with a black Qiluo skirt, willow eyebrows and snow rouge, and her bright eyes turned lightly. As if he was not satisfied enough, he picked up the paper on the table and sipped it, and the three thousand green silk was curled up with a black gauze hairband, and half of the face was covered by a fan.
She got out of the sedan chair and was unsteady and almost fell. She kicked the sedan chair in disgust and complained in a low voice. And he went on until he came to the door. handed over the invitation, the fan in his hand shook and shook, and waited impatiently.
Han Qiu went out to greet her, and was a little displeased when he saw her dressed in black, not to mention the half-covered face, which was plausible, and the impression was even worse.
"The girl is a scarlet garden, and Han Qiu is polite."
He saluted. But the man did not answer, as if he had not heard, but raised his foot and went inward, looking very rude.
Han Qiu was even more angry in his heart, secretly wondering how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could like such a woman with no one in his eyes. He had more thoughts to play tricks on this person who didn't know the height of the sky.
She found a room in the middle, leaned against the window, sipped the tea on the table, and flipped through the books next to her. Skillful as if in their own home.
"Can the girl be literate?" Han Qiu asked.
"I don't know, but I just like the glyphs on this book, and I think it's good."
She withdrew her hand in a daze. Throw the book casually on the table, hold the tea and hang your head quietly, staring at your toes. Suddenly hearing the cat barking outside the window, she ignored the people behind her, chased the cat in the courtyard, and gently stroked the small things.
He felt that the sun was shining brightly today, and the stinging person couldn't open his eyes. And the woman didn't stop for a moment, either chasing cats or admiring flowers, and before he finished speaking, the woman went elsewhere. It's like a wild cat in the mountains, and its temperament is uncertain.
looked a little dumbfounded, she didn't look as good as Han Sheng described.
"I wonder if the girl has ever heard of Snow Country?"
"Is it a country where snow falls all year round? I love snow the most. She seemed to be caught in a memory, and her eyes were shining with stars. It was dim again in an instant.
"But I still like the smoke capital, the snow country is bitterly cold, and the doctor said that I am suitable for living in a warm place."
She casually folded the peach blossoms in the courtyard and put the hairpin on her head, "Am I good-looking?" She asked Han Qiu, and Han Qiu was silent and agreed.
Her stomach suddenly screamed, and she looked at Han Qiu with some embarrassment, "Do you have anything to eat here?" I am hungry. ”
"Yes." Han Qiu suppressed his emotions and didn't let his emotions be exposed, looking at this girl's pitiful appearance, where is the amazing talent? The prince may have been confused, but fortunately, it is still early, and the assessment is only in the early stages, and there are still many opportunities to redeem it.
When eating, looking at the delicacies on the table, she filled a bowl with chopsticks in the east and chopsticks in the west, and feasted on it. Han Qiu was blinded, he forgot to eat, he had never seen such an unreserved woman, although she had the best appearance in the world, but with this demeanor, where could she be a candidate for the crown princess. He had already made up his mind that he could not let the prince indulge in it no matter what. It is necessary to find a way to solve it as soon as possible.
Wanyu glanced at him secretly, and saw that he seemed to be thinking about things, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling, she was happy, after all, she could get rid of trouble, why not?
Han Sheng's account, she will get it back sooner or later.
"Is the girl interested in the crown princess?"
"Huh? What Crown Princess? Isn't Chenguo not yet established? She looked puzzled and put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"The notice of the prince of the snow country recruiting concubines has been posted all over the country, doesn't the girl know?"
She held her head and thought for a while, if she categorically refused to appear that she was not interested in fame and fortune, she would be a goof, and it was better to think in the long run. She thought about it for a long time before she asked weakly, "Will you be free when you become the crown princess?" ”
The person on the other side didn't want to answer anymore. He nodded silently, and then said, "The girl can go and find out, in the Yuxian Building." ”
"Thank you, sir." She saluted and left Han Qiu's residence.
Before leaving, he smiled at Han Qiu, Han Qiu was in a trance, he felt that the woman smiled so cleanly and innocently, but it was a pity that she was born in the land of fireworks and had no talent. If you are the crown princess, you will definitely not be able to stop the mouths of the people.
Suddenly, he remembered someone. Emperor Chen still has a sister who is raised in the boudoir, but this time he is married, Emperor Chen did not mention a word, I don't know if he intends to hide it. If you can marry a princess, you can be regarded as a good match.
Once you have an idea. It was to be implemented immediately, but there was no news of the princess's return. He thought about the little girl who had a relationship with him, it seemed to be Pei Jiuyue, but he admired that girl more, frank and not pretentious.
As for the woman in the scarlet garden, I don't know if it's really useless, if it's talented, it can be seen that she has no heart for the prince, and her own prince has a wrong heart, and he is a minister, so he should be corrected. The decision was made, and he entered the palace to consult with Emperor Chen.
"Because it is the selection of the crown princess, the location must be grand and cautious, and we must also pay attention to the personal safety of the prince and avoid anyone with a heart."
Nanli was about to agree, but when he heard that he was paying attention to the safety of the prince, he thought that Han Sheng actually wanted to choose a concubine himself.
"His Royal Highness will come over at the final assessment and personally preside over the assessment of love."
Han Qiu explained, Nan Centrifugal had other plans, he patted Han Qiu on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so attentive, I will devote all my strength to choose a good match for His Royal Highness the Prince, and I also wish Chen Xue to make friends and friendship forever." ”
The elegant man shrunk his shoulders slightly, "This is also what my emperor wants." ”
He wanted to retreat, but suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Your Majesty has a younger sister, who is delicate and lovely, and is generous, I don't know if I can recommend it?" ”
The man in the dragon robe never thought that he would suddenly mention his sister, and he was suffocated for a while, he was reluctant to marry his sister-in-law, not to mention the bitter cold land of the Snow Country, the Snow Prince was merry by nature, and his mind was unpredictable.
"My sister is frail and sickly, and she has always been raised and can't stand the cold."
He tweeted, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and a woman in a yellow Luo skirt ran towards him, her hair spread out and her eyebrows smiling.
"Brother, do you miss me?"
Han Qiu coughed lightly and looked at the sky outside. It's cloudless, but this lie is exposed a little quickly.
"Jiuyue, come and see Mrs. Han."
He scolded, his eyes were full of emotion, hatred and annoyance, he didn't want to involve her, but she rushed over by herself.
"Oh. Jiuyue has seen Taifu. The woman looked up and saw that the popularity in front of her was extraordinary. Words and deeds are polite, but she has seen the ministers of Chenguo, and she does not have such a bearing.
"This Taifu is not a local, is he?"
"Han is from the snow country, especially for the two countries. Should Her Royal Highness the Princess be married yet? He asked casually.
"No, but Jiuyue doesn't want to marry far away, I want to guard my brother." She looked at Nanli and shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to leave.
Nan Li stepped forward and pulled Jiuyue behind him, "Little sister misses home, I only have such a confidant sister, if I marry far away, I am really reluctant." ”
He rarely looked at his sister gently, revealing infinite affection.
"I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else, if the princess is bored, she can go and play when choosing a concubine."
There were only two people left in the hall, and Nan Li looked at Jiuyue with a headache, "Didn't you say that you should stay in the palace and run out to do something?" ”
"Brother, didn't I miss you? You're still murdering me. "She's a liar.
"Remember not to mess around in the future, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."
"I know my brother loves me the most." Jiuyue said with a grin.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the selection of the crown princess, Han Qiu browsed through the list and saw Wanyu's name, but she had no family background, and even her experience was blank.
This is interesting, but think about it, how can the woman in the Qinglou be embarrassed to show herself in front of others, now these three questions, I don't know how many levels she can pass?
Most of the people who should be selected have already arrived, and she is late, and she is dressed very casually today, but this time she put on heavy makeup and changed to a purple Luo skirt, without too much decoration. Nor has he been dressed up elaborately.
Nan Li glanced casually at the crowd, and couldn't take his eyes off her when he saw her. So she's there too? It's really fate.
Han Qiu naturally didn't know the emperor's thoughts. It's about pondering the exam questions.
When the hour comes, the chimes will ring, and the first level of assessment will begin. This level is about the heart, and the emphasis is on exquisiteness, and the answerer is required to make the food that best meets Taifu's mind according to observation.
Some women have made difficulties, they have always been gold and noble, and they have learned to observe words and looks, but their fingers do not touch the spring water, and it is difficult for them to cook. But with the mentality of giving it a try, they still got busy.
Wanyu looked in a hurry, and made something like a spoon at the last moment, Han Qiu tasted it, salty. I couldn't help but spit it out. He calmly wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then said, "It tastes good, but I'm not feeling well today, so I'm offended."
Wanyu looked at him in disbelief, full of helplessness. She knew how bad it was, and she added almost a third of the salt to salt the fish.
She bit her lip slightly, anyway, there was still a way to deal with the next level.
After the first level was eliminated, there were only six people left, and several women could still see the appearance, but she was the most casual and unruly. Nan Li held back several times when he wanted to speak. Today's she is different from the coldness of the day in Scarlet Garden.
This play is very good, if he hadn't seen it, he would have almost been deceived. But is Wanyu now trying to avoid being chosen?
Han Qiu looked at Pei Jiuyue beside the emperor, after seeing so many people, he liked her the most, but it was a pity that the emperor didn't let people go, but it was a pity.
But Wanyu, he twisted his eyebrows, and he couldn't let people go in the second level.
The second level is titled Zhen, and his title is painting, which is a test of painting art. Wanyu hastily painted a green bamboo forest with a few brushstrokes, Han Qiu asked her why, she replied, "I like bamboo, it looks good." A slice of green. ”
……
Han Qiu's face changed and changed, he thought she would say that Cuizhu was unswerving, but she actually spoke falsely. He continued to look at other people's paintings, but he fell in love with one, this painting is a winged bird, flying with wings, and according to legend, the winged bird only chooses one mate in his life, life and death go hand in hand.
The painting is also extremely exquisite, and he has a choice in mind.
