On the agreed day, Shu Wan was invited to the carriage early in the morning, the carriage is usually the carriage of the rich and noble, Kangxi has already sat in it, although he is wearing a regular clothes, but he still can't hide the noble atmosphere on his body, seeing Shu Wan coming up, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, he moved his body, and vacated the position next to him, Shu Wan pretended not to see it and sat opposite him.

The carriage was not in a hurry or slow, Shu Wan and Kangxi sat on one side, Shu Wan looked down at the embroidery on her handkerchief, or she closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage to rest, Kangxi kept sitting there with her eyes closed.

After a turn, the carriage suddenly tilted, Shu Wan didn't have a point of focus, and her body was about to fall to the side as soon as she leaned.

"Be careful!" Kangxi grabbed Shu Wan with his big hand, and directly pulled her to sit beside him.

"Are you alright?" These were the first words he had said to Shu Wan since that day.

Shu Wan quietly moved away from Kangxi, pinching the corners of her clothes vigorously, "Don't worry, the emperor is fine." ”

Kangxi took a full view of Shu Wan's small movements, and he knew that Shu Wan was really still complaining about him, his big hand wrapped around her waist, and before she could speak, he said first: "I am supporting you." ”

Just hold on, I have given birth to several children with him, what is there to hug my waist, Shu Wan's stiff body gradually relaxed, and she changed to a comfortable position to sit down, feeling that Shu Wan had gradually relaxed, and the corners of Kangxi's mouth hooked up with a smile.

When he arrived at the place, Kangxi took out a thick veil and put it on Shu Wan, and after carefully inspecting it, he jumped out of the carriage and helped Shu Wan down.

Shu Wan looked up at the big sign hanging upstairs, with the three big characters of Yanhua Pavilion written on it, and Shu Wan suddenly felt like eating more than a dozen flies.

Yanhua Pavilion, the largest flower building in the capital, is one of the favorite places for the nobles and nobles in the capital to come to have fun.

As for why it is called Yanhua Pavilion, it is naturally because the number one brand here in the capital is also the owner of Yanhua Pavilion - Murong Yanhua, the legend says that the Murong girl is extremely beautiful, and she is the beauty of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods.

Naturally, the conditions for seeing Murong are not simple, not to mention the gold first, and more importantly, they must pass the exam questions set by Murong, so since Yanhua Pavilion appeared in the capital five years ago, no one has really seen Murong Qiren.

And even the most ordinary girl in this Yanhua Pavilion has to start at twenty taels of silver, so those who can enter the Yanhua Pavilion are some noble children, of course, the more beautiful and famous the girl, the higher the price, and the girls in this Yanhua Pavilion are not all selling, some people can attract a large number of wild bees and butterflies just by virtue of their talents.

It can be said that Yanhua Pavilion is the most special case in the flower building.

Shu Wan stood in front of Yanhua Pavilion for a while, she didn't know what Kangxi was bringing her here to do, was he going to sell her? Could it be that Kangxi is so short of silver? Is it too late for her to run now?

Turning his head and looking around, he found that there were still a few carriages parked nearby, and the road was wide and the shops around were neat, and Yanhua Pavilion was the largest and tallest building nearby, what should I do, this terrain is not conducive to escaping.

Shu Wan was worried and anxious in her heart, Kangxi saw her changing look and erratic eyes on the side, and knew that she must be crooked again, too, it is easy to make people think about it when they come to this kind of place.

Before Shu Wan could figure out a way, Kangxi led her to Yanhua Pavilion.

The inside of the Yanhua Pavilion is decorated with the word 'trench', the foot is stepping on an inch of wool carpet of 100 gold, which is densely wound with patterns, and the golden lampposts around are placed on the fist-sized night pearl, in addition, the wall is hung with a hanging bell from the West, and there are all kinds of ornaments in the house, mostly jade, gold ornaments and some flowers and plants from exotic lands.

The people who watched were dazzled, some of them didn't even have in the palace, and Shu Wan couldn't help but wonder what kind of character Yanhua was the boss behind this Yanhua Pavilion.

"Yanhua Pavilion has a huge amount of funds, and the decoration in this pavilion is naturally extraordinary." Kangxi put his arm around Shu Wan's waist and said next to her, "There are mostly some Western things in Yanhua Pavilion, and some of them are the first time I've seen them. ”

Out of the palace gate, Kangxi is the master, Shu Wan is her concubine, and the two are commensurate with each other.

Shu Wan glanced at Kangxi and asked, "Why did the master ask me to come over?" ”

This kind of Fengyue place, no matter how luxurious, the inner essence is still the same, so she can't be interested in it anyway.

Kangxi pointed to the row of private rooms upstairs, "Do you know who is upstairs?" ”

"Who? Who else could be the person in this Yanhua Pavilion, either a woman or a man who came to find a woman. ”

Kangxi shook his head, "Half a year ago, Murong, the owner of Yanhua Pavilion, passed on the news that the First Beauty Conference would be held in Yanhua Pavilion today, so since three days ago, Yanhua Pavilion has been no longer open, and all kinds of beauties from all over the world have already lived in Yanhua Pavilion. ”

No wonder, Shu Wan remembered that she had seen so many carriages outside Yanhua Pavilion just now, it turned out that it was because of this, but this Murong was really strange, what kind of beauty did she choose in the world, or was this just a way to enhance the reputation of Yanhua Pavilion?

"So sir, you want me to go to the beauty pageant?"

Kangxi nodded, and said without hesitation: "Naturally, other people are vulgar fans compared to you." ”

Shu Wan rolled her eyes, what was going on with this inexplicably confident tone?

"But this competition is all about the lottery, what is the jackpot this time? Wouldn't it just be the name of the world's first beauty? ”

Shu Wan took out a handkerchief and lifted the veil and wiped the sweat on her forehead, could it be that Kangxi just wanted her to take the title of the world's first beauty, what does this mean, not to mention that she is now the emperor's concubine, it is useless to ask for this title, but it will be said that she does not abide by women's morals and commits seven rules.

Kangxi understood her scruples, and took the handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead and sideburns, "Naturally not, you are just an ordinary concubine now, named Shu Ziwan, the first beauty selected this time will be painted for her by the painter Shang himself, and that painting is the color of this competition." ”

Painter Shang, the world's first painter, became famous as a young man, paintings are hard to find, good at landscapes, maids, but the traces are difficult to find, I didn't expect to be invited this time, and he will be used as the color of this competition.

But what does Kangxi want to do with a painting, although those painters in the palace are not as good as Shang, but their painting skills are also one in a million, is Kangxi a fanatical admirer of the painter Shang?

Kangxi touched her head, carefully checked her veil again, and said softly: "I want to exchange that painting for something very important, so I have to let you come forward." ”

Shu Wan still wanted to ask for an understanding, but at this moment, a beautiful and bewitching woman in a brocade dress walked down from the upper floor, and quietly looked at Shu Wan who was standing next to Kangxi and him, the man was luxurious and domineering, and although the other was wearing a thick veil, the beautiful and agile temperament on his body could not be concealed, "Do you have an entourage?" ”

"Not really." Kangxi shook his head, this time out of the palace, he took Shu Wan and Liang Jiugong and some guards who were ambushed on the side of the road, and now Liang Jiugong is guarding the carriage in front of the Yanhua Pavilion, and only he and Shu Wan are the two who come in.

The woman was taken aback, the people who came in before had brought more than a dozen people, and they also brought two or three boxes of jewelry, obviously they had made sufficient preparations for this competition, and these two people came in without bringing anything, are they really so confident?

Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but look at Shu Wan a few more times, Kangxi directly stretched out his hand to block the woman's harassing eyes, and his body seemed to exude cold air, and he said in a cold tone: "It's not early, please take us up." ”

The woman smiled slightly, and then took a amorous pose, "This way, please, the upstairs room is ready." ”

Kangxi nodded and followed the woman upstairs to the room with Shu Wan.

The decoration of the upstairs room continues the downstairs style, and there is a set of red clothes on the table in the middle, and the woman laughs coquettishly: "This competition is not better than anything else, just a single dance skill, when the time comes, whoever has the best dance skills will naturally win the opportunity for the painter to paint for her, and now there is still an hour and a half before the competition, and when the time comes, someone will naturally come to remind you, and please change your clothes and paint your makeup during this time." ”

Kangxi nodded, politely thanked the woman and sent the woman out, Shu Wan turned around and took off the veil, and breathed a long sigh of relief, this veil is heavy and a sharp weapon to block her face, but it is also so stuffy that she can't breathe.

"Didn't this competition say that it brought together the beauties of the world, why haven't you seen it until now?" Shu Wan sat down and held her cheeks, looked at the exquisite dance costume carefully, and chatted with Kangxi with a match.

Kangxi sat across from her and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, you will win this competition." ”

Shu Wan sighed twice and asked, "Master, have you heard the requirements of this competition clearly?" ”

This time it's a dance competition, the original body's dance skills are just an average level, and she's a character who can walk out of the same hands and feet when she walks right, if she can win this time, then it's really a hell.

"Isn't it just a dance competition? I remember you will..."Kangxi paused, it seemed that Shu Wan had never danced, and he always thought that Shu Wan didn't like to move, but now that he thinks about it, is there anything else hidden?

Kangxi looked at Shu Wan, only to see Shu Wan spread out her hand, and shook her head helplessly with him, "The concubine's dancing skills are extremely bad, very bad, so she never dares to show her clumsiness in front of the master." ”

After speaking, I was afraid that Kangxi would not believe it, so I deliberately showed it a few times in front of Kangxi, my hands and feet could not be coordinated at all, and I accidentally stepped on myself at the last time.

"Master, the concubine really didn't lie, the concubine didn't like to learn to dance when she was young, and when she entered the palace, she forgot the little dance skills she learned at home."

Seeing Kangxi's brows furrowed, Shu Wan said tentatively: "Why don't you change someone?" There are so many dancing concubines in this palace, and they all look like flowers, and they will definitely win the title of the first beauty in the world for the master, and win the painting of the painter Shang. ”

Kangxi glanced at her and saw that her eyes were full of sincerity, even if she wanted to be angry, she couldn't get angry, "No wonder you never dance to show me, it turns out that you can't, you can't be a little conscious, others are still trying their best to dance and sing songs to attract my attention, you are good, you can't do anything." ”

At the end, Kangxi's tone unconsciously brought a little complaint and taste.

Shu Wan snorted disdainfully, "Then the master just dislikes me?" If you like to watch people dance and sing, you can go to the person who can dance and sing, and find me for something. ”

Saying that, Shu Wan was about to get up and walk out, but Kangxi hurriedly stopped, "I don't dislike you, I will never dislike you, what are you doing so impulsively, don't go, don't go." ”
