Chapter 21: Killing, let me wait to open my eyes
Mu Qianxia walked to the Tianquan Pavilion where the poetry meeting was held, the pavilion was surrounded by rockeries with earth and stone, and the ancient trees and new branches on the mountain were full of vitality. There is a stone bridge in front, and a bay of pond water flows from west to east, and the ring pavilion flows south.
Liuli has been following behind Mu Qianxia to introduce her to the noble women in Beijing who came here, and told Mu Qianxia in detail from their surnames and the relationship between them.
Mu Qianxia turned her head suspiciously and asked, "Liuli, how do you know every woman here so clearly?" ”
Liuli stuck out her tongue and said, "These are all made by Gu Gongzi to carry them." You were obsessed with poetry and books in those days, and Gu Gongzi brought a lot of portraits and character relationship diagrams of aristocratic women in Beijing for the slaves and maids to memorize, saying that you can use the princess at the poetry meeting. ”
Mu Qianxia nodded and said, "It's still Gu Li who is more careful, I only remember to read more poetry books in those days, and I forgot that there is such a thing." ”
After everyone was seated, Chen Chen walked to the center and said with a smile: "In order to ensure the fairness of our poetry meeting, I specially invited three judges, and now I have invited them to take their seats." ”
As soon as Chen Chen's words fell, two young men and a middle-aged man walked in at the door, and after Mu Qianxia saw it clearly, he found that one of them turned out to be Gu Li. 、
Gu Li seemed to notice that Mu Qianxia had been staring at him, turned his head to look at her, and smiled at her.
Mu Qianxia turned her head very displeased, avoiding his gaze, and complained to Liuli: "Look at Gu Li, obviously he is also going to participate in the poetry meeting, and he is also a judge, he actually hid it from me, and where did he watch me study hard for two days, presumably his heart must be laughing at me." ”
Liuli comforted: "No, maybe Gu Gongzi was just temporarily invited." ”
Mu Qianxia pursed her lips in disbelief, for Gu Li's kind of black-bellied and scheming person, she might be able to count the money happily after being sold by him.
At this time, a woman stood up and asked, "I just don't know what the theme of this poetry meeting is?" ”
The woman was the granddaughter of Scholar Liu, lively and cute, and spoke directly.
The middle-aged man sitting in the middle touched his beard and said with a smile: "We are only responsible for the quality of the poems, and you can decide the theme yourself." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone began to chatter. Mu Qianxia sat there without saying a word, eating the pastries and tea at the table, trying to reduce her sense of existence, but the direction of things was never something she could decide.
No, Chen Chen hasn't spoken yet, there is someone who can't bear it, this person is none other than the youngest daughter of Hubu Shangshu, Xu Jingrong, and is good friends with Chen Chen.
She stood up and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this year's orchids are blooming so well, why don't we take orchids as the theme." ”
Before Mu Qianxia could say anything, the others were already excited.
"With orchids as the theme, it is not bad."
"I was also about to say, everyone will make a song, and when the time comes, pick a few good ones, and let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess send them to the queen."
"Okay, that's a great idea, it's a great idea."
…………
Chen Chen looked at Mu Qianxia with a smile: "Eldest princess, what do you think?" ”
The corners of Mu Qianxia's mouth twitched, obviously everyone had already chatted so happily, and now she came over to ask her, if she refused, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? I could only nod with a smile and said, "I also think this is a very good idea." ”
Seeing that Mu Qianxia agreed, everyone immediately began to discuss it again.
"I haven't seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess compose poems yet, we will be blessed today."
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this is the first time you have participated in the poetry meeting today, don't hide it, let everyone see the eldest princess's true talents."
…………
This sound sounds like flattery, but in fact it is sarcasm, sarcasm, and killing!
Everyone is from the capital, and everyone knows that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is arrogant and domineering, does not learn and has no skills, and I don't know how many teachers she ran away when she was a child. Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly to herself, how many people had the original owner offended before, and none of the people here were on her side.
There's no way, whoever let her occupy this body, she has to pay off the bitter fruits of the original owner's seeds.
However, at this time, the county lord of Jiahe, who was sitting next to her, couldn't sit still, and smiled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why don't you come and compose a poem first, so that I can open my eyes?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the lively scene became a little quiet, and all eyes looked at her, waiting for her to reply without misfortune.
When everyone was waiting to see Mu Qianxia at a loss, Mu Qianxia smiled faintly, very good-looking, very confident, she said slowly: "Okay." ”
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, hurry up and come to a song, I'll wait and see!" Chen Chen couldn't wait to urge.
At this time, a maid who poured wine somehow accidentally spilled wine on her body, and the maid stepped forward to wipe the wine stains on Mu Qianxia's body in fear, and at the same time spilled a small note in her hand into Mu Qianxia's hand.
Mu Qianxia quietly let the maid wipe it, looked up in the direction where Gu Li was, and saw Gu Li looking at her with a smile.
Mu Qianxia asked the maid to wipe it and then retreated.
For this little episode in the poetry meeting, everyone regarded it as a strategy for Mu Qianxia to delay time.
Everyone is waiting for Mu Qianxia to make a fool of himself and admit defeat.
But who knows, after Mu Qianxia retreated, she said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Are you sure you want me to come first?" ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at her inexplicably.
The county lord of Jiahe smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, don't ...... Humble! Let's get started, everyone waits. ”
The audience fell silent, everyone waited, and the tension in the air gradually dispersed............
