404, refusal
Qiao Siwan turned her body and looked at Zhou Lizhang and said: "Zhou Lizhang, An Zhou's figure is really not a big problem, but my colleagues are so considerate of An Zhou, An Zhou thought that it was better to let my colleagues feel at ease after seeing my face." An Zhou hereby implored Zhou Lizhang to let An Zhou show his true face, but An Zhou wanted to ask Zhou Lizhang for a penalty exemption order in advance. If An Zhou is really rude in front of the palace, Zhou Lizhang must not be able to blame An Zhou. ”
Zhou Lizhang wanted to see Qiao Siwan's face the most, and now that she heard that she was willing to show her true face, she naturally agreed happily: "An Zhou, I have forgiven your sins." ”
"Xie Zhou Lizhang!" Qiao Siwan thanked Zhou Lizhang, then faced Zhou Lizhang and gently put down the veil on his face.
The envisioned face was not noticed, and was replaced by a face full of red rashes.
If you look at this face once, you won't want to look at it again.
"Phew-" At that moment, a sentimental inhalation sound sounded in the field, and the faces of those with good concentration only changed slightly, and those with not very good concentration simply turned their heads in disgust.
Zhou Lizhang's eyes shrank suddenly, and there was a throbbing pain in his heart, how did his goddess cause such a demeanor!
Zhou Xiuyan's eyes were even more sorrowful, and Qiao Siwan's face didn't know what illness caused it.
Seeing Qiao Siwan's appearance, the Eighth Prince and Pang Yunting almost couldn't help laughing, how many Qiao Siwan have today!
Seeing everyone's brilliance in her eyes, Qiao Siwan's expression was fixed for half a minute, and the veil was covered again.
The seventh princess and the eighth princess of Yuze Kingdom all looked frightened, and the eighth princess frowned and looked at Qiao Siwan and asked, "Lord Anzhou, what's wrong with your face?" ”
Qiao Siwan replied: "It's caused by body heat and pollen, and it's not a big deal, which makes the eighth princess worried." ”
The eighth princess clapped slightly, and before she could say anything more, she heard Pang Yunting's voice ring again: "This is really an ordinary rash on the face of the county lord of Anzhou?" Why do I look at this symptom so like, like smallpox? ”
Qiao Siwan said lightly: "Although An Zhou's medical skills are despicable, he can still distinguish between rash and smallpox. If the third girl is sad, even if she is away from An Zhou. ”
Today's environment, if it were normal, Qiao Siwan would definitely repair Pang Yunting, but she couldn't today.
Today, she wants to be as ugly as possible, the more humble the better, and the more plain the better.
She wants to make Zhou Lizhang tired of her as much as possible, and she wants to make everyone in Yuzeguo not have a little fun with her as much as possible.
At this point, the pomp and circumstance were a little embarrassing, and the third princess spoke in a round and said, "An Zhou, you are not feeling well, so take a seat first." ”
"Third Princess Xie." Qiao Siwan thanked the third princess and sat down in her position.
Pang Yunting was bored by herself, and she also returned to her position, she was in the best mood, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
This short episode was originally Pang Yunting's advantage, but the eighth princess of Yuzeguo looked at Pang Yunting with some indifference, as for the two princes of Yuzeguo, except for the first glance, they never looked at Pang Yunting for the second time.
On the high platform, Zhou Lizhang's eyes were a little angry, no matter what festivals Pang Yunting and Qiao Siwan had, today she deliberately looked for Qiao Siwan's stubble, which really lost Zhou Yanguo's dignity and made the people of Yu Zeguo see the joke.
It's not bad to be a huge person, but how to ask for a lesson to make such a daughter who doesn't know how to measure!
Pang Yunting no matter what others think of her, she is willing to be included in this talent exchange competition, in addition to being famous in the universe, she also wants to find Qiao Siwan to take revenge and trample her down.
Pang Yunting had made up her hopes in her heart, and she would inevitably fight against Qiao Siwan again in this competition.
The first day of the talent exchange competition is a calligraphy and painting competition, with calligraphy first and painting second.
Because the competition process is relatively quiet and does not require the largest garden, a total of 80 men and women from the two countries are held together.
The content of the "book" is to make a poem or a poem within a quarter of an hour, and those who cannot complete it will lose, and those who complete it will win or lose according to the merits of the poem.
The content of "painting" is to make a painting in half a time, and those who cannot complete it will lose, and those who complete it will decide whether they will win or lose according to the merits of the painting.
Qiao Siwan only wrote a bland poem on the "book", and only made a decent painting on the "painting", expounding that it was really plain, and lost to Yu Zeguo's opponent in both games.
Zhou Lizhang had high hopes for Qiao Siwan, and when he saw her explanatory look, he sank down.
The third princess is also the most unpredictable, and she understands that Qiao Siwan should not be so bland.
Zhou Xiuyan's first thought was that Qiao Siwan would explain it like this because of her illness, or did she mean it?
Zhou Xiuyan couldn't help but take a closer look at Qiao Siwan's demeanor, but saw that her expression was indifferent, without a trace of anxiety and importance, and understood that it was carried forward to the ordinary level.
The eighth prince laughed in his heart, what is the strange woman who is famous in the universe, he sees Qiao Siwan as nothing more than this, and it is also a shame that the Guo family looks up to her so much, and regards her as a great enemy, I really don't know what kind of eyes it is.
Pang Yunting's demeanor is the most complacent, and contrary to Qiao Siwan, her two competitions are beyond Yu Zeguo's opponents, and it seems that the day when she will flip her reputation is just around the corner.
The princes and princesses of Yuze Kingdom glanced at each other, all of them had a look of distrust, they had learned about Qiao Siwan's news before coming to Zhou Yanguo, but the county lord of Anzhou that they saw in front of them was really the county lord of Anzhou who was rumored to be full of reputation, talent, and good name?
Regardless of Qiao Siwan's demeanor, although she lost two battles, she was the happiest in her heart, because she had successfully reached today's target.
Seeing Zhou Lizhang's gloomy expression, she was sure that for many days after today's incident, Zhou Lizhang didn't even want to look at her.
Not only that, maybe after Zhou Lizhang returns to the palace, he won't look at that painting again for a long time.
After the competition, Qiao Siwan, Jiang Xi, Xia Liuqi, and Luo Ling said goodbye and wanted to leave, but they heard Zhou Xiuyan's voice coming from behind him: "Lord An Zhou, please stop." ”
Qiao Siwan turned around and saw Zhou Xiuyan walking quickly in front of her, a layer of fine sweat secreted from her forehead that was as bright as jade, her breathing was a little hasty, and there might be some sorrow in her eyes.
This is the first time Qiao Siwan has glimpsed Zhou Xiuyan's Kong Yin appearance, usually he is not in a hurry or slow, as if he can't dance like an immortal.
Qiao Siwan thought that something big had happened, so she simply said, "Your Highness the Seventh, if there is anything to do, just say it directly." ”
Qiao Siwan asked so simply that Zhou Xiuyan didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Lord Anzhou, this is for you." Zhou Xiuyan's warm eyes looked at Qiao Siwan steadily, and only after a long time did he stretch out his arm in front of her, Ruyu's palm held a gold-edged jade box with a few bushes of elegant orchids painted on the surface.
With just one glance, Qiao Siwan knew that the instrument in this jade box was a special ointment made by the imperial doctor, but the ointment of such a character was not something that the palace agent could afford, but the favorite concubines and princesses had the ability and qualifications to enjoy.
Qiao Siwan looked at Zhou Xiuyan in surprise, now he is not like the Seventh Highness who is like an immortal, but more like a shy young man with an ordinary background, he seems to have mustered the greatest courage, and the ability to stand in front of her with courage like now.
Qiao Siwan understood Zhou Xiuyan's intentions, he saw that she had a rash on her face, and wanted to give her the ointment produced in the palace.
Knowing that he had been seen through by Qiao Siwan, Zhou Xiuyan seemed to be a little at a loss, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little tight: "Lord An Zhou, this box of ointment was asked for by me from the Third Emperor Sister, and I heard her say that there will be no scars on your face after using it, and it may be effective for you......"
Zhou Xiuyan was really a little strapped for it, and he really wanted to ask Qiao Siwan if her condition was nervous, and if she broke out, it would be the most uncomfortable, but when the words came to her mouth, they caused this kind of completely incompatible words.
Qiao Siwan doesn't understand Zhou Xiuyan anymore, because the current Zhou Xiuyan is like a young boy who has just started to fall in love in front of her.
She didn't know if Zhou Xiuyan really minded her, or just because she was the most effective for him?
The feelings of the royal people always make her dare not trust easily.
However, Qiao Siwan didn't want to understand this question, no matter whether Zhou Xiuyan was sincere or pretending to her, she would not bear his affection.
Mo said that she didn't need the ointment in the palace at all, that is, she needed it, and she wouldn't bear Zhou Xiuyan's thoughtfulness, and she wouldn't give him a little hope.
She has one Zhou Xiuye, her heart is the smallest and the smallest, and after living in a Zhou Xiuye, she will never be able to live in anyone again.
Qiao Siwan had a light smile in her eyes, but there was some alienation in that shallow smile: "Thank you for your care, but there used to be too much ointment in An Zhou's mansion, but I am afraid that I can't use the medicine of His Royal Highness Seven." However, An Zhou still wants to thank His Royal Highness Seven, and ask His Royal Highness Seventh to thank the third princess on behalf of An Zhou. ”
Zhou Xiuyan was slightly stunned, he had already speculated that Qiao Siwan would reject his affection, but he still wanted to give it a try, but he still didn't expect Qiao Siwan's rejection of him to be so complete.
Even if it was just a small box of ointment, she wouldn't bear it.
The supple smile on the corner of Zhou Xiuyan's mouth stiffened slightly: "That's it, it's me who doesn't think about it." The county lord of Anzhou himself knows medicine, and there is a doctor like Doctor Lin, how can the house be poor in ointment. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Xiuyan returned his outstretched arm, still smiling on his face, but his palm was tightly gripping the box of ointment, and the coldness of the jade box stretched to his body through his palm, making him feel cold to his bones.
It's early summer in April, but he thinks it's as cold as winter.
Qiao Siwan noticed that Zhou Xiuyan's eyes became dim at that moment, and a layer of cold sadness was enveloped around his whole body.
Qiao Siwan knew Zhou Xiuyan's loss, and if she could, she would not want to danger him, but all she could give him was refusal.
Rejecting him is the most feminine reward for his affection.
"Your Highness the Seventh, if you don't have anything else to do with An Zhou, An Zhou will say goodbye."
Zhou Xiuyan clapped slightly in distraction.
At this point, Qiao Siwan gave Zhou Xiuyan a slight blessing, and then turned around and left one step at a time.
Looking at Qiao Siwan's back as he left, Zhou Xiuyan thought that his heart was still cold, and there was no sign of warming.
He didn't know when his heart for Qiao Siwan began, but most certainly, he had never been so infatuated with any woman.
On the viewing platform, the seventh princess and the eighth princess of Yuzeguo fell on Zhou Xiuyan at the same time, and the seventh princess was able to hide her feelings a little, but the eighth princess looked at Zhou Xiuyan's eyes but loved and unwilling.
The eighth princess loved Zhou Xiuyan, a fairy-like character, but was rejected by Qiao Siwan, unwilling to know what Qiao Siwan was good about, and it happened that she could make him treat him so infatuatedly?
When Qiao Siwan returned to the county lord's mansion, Zhou Xiuye was waiting for her.
