Chapter 107: The Two Countries Compete
The competition between Dongyang and Chu Yun began, divided into three rounds, with six people participating, and after the three rounds were over, the best two people were selected to compete with each other.
In this way, even if it is a competition between two countries, it is possible that the two people who end up competing with each other are from the same country.
After a few rounds of competition, Yun Qingyan won very well, and Liu Wushuang was also good.
And Pei Ji found that it was very likely that Yun Qingyan and Liu Wushuang faced each other in the end, but it seemed that he deliberately restrained and deliberately lost a round.
In the end, only Yun Qingyan and Liu Wushuang were left to compete with each other.
The visiting envoys of Dongyang Kingdom never thought that their side would lose to two women in the end, but they could only smile and compliment a few words because of their feelings.
"The women of Chu Yunguo are really talented and outstanding, and even so many men are compared."
"Prince Gong has won the award, judging from the competition just now, Dongyang's students are also talented."
Emperor Yun smiled and spoke, although he was a little surprised by this result in his heart, he was naturally satisfied. Before, he didn't expect Yan'er to really be able to win to the end, although there is still a Liu Wushuang, but Liu Wushuang has lost to Yan'er before, maybe Yan'er can really win this time, if this is the case, it will naturally be better.
"I didn't expect to compete with the eldest princess, it's really a unique honor." Liu Wushuang hooked the corners of his mouth, and his heart was already excited.
Although she lost to Yun Qingyan last time, she had made sufficient preparations during this time, and the final battle fell on her and Yun Qingyan's head, this must be destined by God, this time, she must get back the reputation and face she lost before in front of everyone!
"Yes, Princess Ben doesn't think there's anything to be honored." Yun Qingyan pouted.
She did win a little luck in the rounds just now, in the end, she still relied on the credit of reading so many poems, but she didn't expect to really face Liu Wushuang.
Liu Wushuang hooked his lips and smiled, silently thinking that Yun Qingyan was afraid of these words in his heart.
"I don't know what to compare in this last round?" Rong Ze sat under Prince Gong's hand and asked with a smile.
"The rules are still the same as in previous years, tomorrow I will first compose poems, and then I will paint with poems, and the poems and paintings will be put together to judge the level together." An official on the side explained and spoke, and his tone was inevitably a little proud.
Even if Taifu Feng didn't participate this year, it was their Chu Yunguo who won in the end.
"I see, then we'll see." Rong Ze looked at Yun Qingyan with his eyes.
Now it seems that this eldest princess is really unusual, judging from today's situation, it should be that she has a better chance of winning.
Back at Yunwu Palace, Qiu'er was excited.
"Princess, you are already good at drawing, and you will definitely win the written test tomorrow."
"This maybe, after all, I heard that Liu Wushuang's painting skills are not weak." Yun Qingyan looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and he wanted to paint with poems, and the test questions would be announced on the spot. If you think about it like this, you don't really know for sure.
"Princess, no matter what, the slave maid thinks that you must be a head above Miss Liu." Qiu'er said firmly, "And the princess has made rapid progress during this time, and there will definitely be good news tomorrow." ”
"Okay, then I hope it does as you say." Yun Qingyan smiled and raised his eyebrows.
On the other side, above the palace road, Yun Yao looked at Liu Wushuang who was walking towards him, smiled, and waited until the other party stepped forward before he spoke: "Congratulations to Miss Liu." ”
"Wushuang hasn't won after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to come to congratulate him so early." Liu Wushuang paused, "What's more, the eldest princess has excellent painting skills, I'm afraid that tomorrow Wushuang will not necessarily be her opponent." ”
"Miss Liu's ability to win is very powerful now, no matter whether she can win tomorrow or not, it is enough to show that Miss Liu's talent is extraordinary."
No, that's not enough, you have to win!
Liu Wushuang silently spoke in his heart, and when he looked at Yun Yao again, he smiled again.
"Actually, whether you can win tomorrow or not is to do your best, but I have one thing that is more difficult for me now."
"What?" Yun Yao asked.
"According to the rules of the competition in previous years, tomorrow prepare your own pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as the tools needed for painting, the eldest princess has always been quite loved by the emperor, I heard that the emperor once rewarded her with a complete set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is very precious and extraordinary." Liu Wushuang paused, "Actually, it may be a little childish to say this, but Wushuang is really worried that he will lose on this ink, paper and inkstone tomorrow." ”
Yun Yao was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "My father did reward my imperial sister with a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but it shouldn't have much impact when I think about it, of course, it's normal for Miss Liu to have this worry." ”
"Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smile, but if the book is in talent and painting skills, Wushuang has nothing to say, but Wushuang just doesn't want to lose in these tools, so it is inevitable that there is some distress in his heart." Liu Wushuang lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly.
"Miss Liu doesn't have to be troubled, the same pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and the emperor have also rewarded this prince with a set, if Miss Liu needs it, you can transfer it to Miss Liu."
"Really?" Liu Wushuang immediately raised his head and looked at Yun Yao with shining eyes, "Actually, there is no need for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to transfer it, after all, it is too valuable, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can borrow it from me, Wushuang will already be grateful in his heart." ”
"This is naturally possible, and then I will have people pack it up and send it all to the Queen Mother's Palace." Yun Yao smiled heartily.
Although he felt that pen, ink, paper, and inkstone might not have any effect, since Miss Liu was worried now, since he could solve this problem, he would naturally be willing to serve.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Liu Wushuang blessed his body, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, Wushuang will definitely use it properly, and there will be absolutely no mistakes." ”
"Miss Liu doesn't have to be polite."
returned to the Queen Mother's Palace, and it didn't take long for someone to send a complete set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Liu Wushuang compared it, and it was indeed much better than the average one.
"Miss, are you really sure that the eldest princess will carry this set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone tomorrow?" Ying'er opened her mouth a little uncertainly, "After all, this set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is very valuable, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest princess have it in the entire palace, maybe the eldest princess will collect it properly, and she will not take it out and use it at all." ”
"Properly stored?" Liu Wushuang smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I've already asked people to inquire, Yun Qingyan uses to practice calligraphy on weekdays is rewarded by the emperor, since she is used to it, she will naturally bring it over in tomorrow's competition." ”
Ying'er nodded, "It turns out that the young lady has already inquired, and the slave is too worried." ”
Liu Wushuang put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone back into the box, and handed it to Ying'er, "Deal with it according to the plan, remember, you must not make any mistakes." ”
"Yes, slave and maid obey."
