Chapter 23: Showmanship
In order to gain fame, Chu Meng deliberately wrote his name on the painting, and deliberately wrote the name very conspicuously.
Chu Meng was so frightened that her legs weakened and knelt down, "The Queen Mother spares her life, the little girl has tried her best, but this peony is so beautiful, no matter what, the little girl can't draw its beauty, it is the little girl who is stupid and stains the Queen Mother's eyes, but the little girl definitely didn't mean to paint ugly, please ask the Queen Mother to check clearly." ”
The Queen Mother said coldly, "I don't paint very well, and I instigate others everywhere, your sister is more self-aware than you, smarter than you, is it rumored that the stupid young lady of the Chu family is you?"
Chu Meng's face flushed, and tears fell from her aggrieved eyes, in fact, when Chu Ge was just stupid, Chu Zhinan didn't spread the word about her stupidity in order to protect her, and blocked the news, it was she who spread the news that the eldest lady of the Chu family was stupid, and now it's good that the queen mother said this, in the future, this stupid name, I'm afraid I can't take it off!
Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't embarrass her too much, but said in disgust, "Be a little more comfortable in the future, it is born from the same root, why be too anxious to fry each other?" ”
"Yes. Chu Meng lowered her face and retreated to her position, but she didn't dare to speak, she couldn't even raise her face, she always felt that everyone was laughing at her, she had never been ridiculed like this since she was a child, she was still in the palace, in front of so many official wives and young ladies, and embarrassed in front of the queen mother, she felt that her life was over.
Zhao Yanxi won the praise of the Queen Mother, the limelight was unique for a while, many ladies and young ladies looked for her to look at the paintings, discussed with her, everyone surrounded her, the Queen Mother also praised her talent, she got carried away, and began to provoke Chu Ge, "The Queen Mother, since it is to appreciate peonies, do not paint peonies, you have to chant a poem, praise the peony, no matter how bad, you have to say a few words of praise to express your current mood, do nothing, you will lose the meaning of appreciating peonies, isn't it a disappointment to the Queen Mother's heart?"
The Queen Mother felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "Yes, then, if you don't have a painting, let's recite poetry." ”
Zhao Yanxi thought, what kind of poems can Chu Ge, a fool, chant out? As soon as she opened her mouth, she must have laughed to death, and she was happy to make a fool of herself here.
"Princess Ji, you didn't paint it, come, chant a poem, praise this beautiful peony!" Zhao Yanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at her, gloating.
Chu Ge knew that she wanted to see jokes, but this chant was much simpler than painting, she still remembered that she had seen poems praising peonies before, so she blurted out, "Only peonies are true to the country, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom!"
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, this stupid girl really knows how to compose poetry? Two simple lines of poetry will show the beauty of peony to the fullest!
The Queen Mother praised, "Okay! This poem is good, better than these paintings, indeed, only the peony flower has such a ability, which can make the whole capital crazy for it, the mourning family in this life, love the peony alone, but has not been able to think of a better sentence to praise it, Chu Ge's two poems, the mourning family's state of mind, completely expressed, it is really excellent, do you all feel it?"
Everyone echoed, "Yes, this poem is so good, it is a portrayal of our mood." ”
"Mmmm, I didn't expect Princess Ji to be so smart and talented, the previous rumors are really false!"
Zhao Yanxi is crazy, this fool can actually compose poems!? Seeing her coax the Queen Mother so happily, she really wants to make her ugly, but she also made her limelight, how is this good?
Damn, damn!
Only Chu Meng, not happy or sad, raised her face, stared at Chu Ge in surprise, at this moment, she felt that something was very wrong, and then think about it carefully, when did her sister start to become smarter? It seems that not long ago, she was bullied by her to cry, and she couldn't even speak clearly, but suddenly she seemed to be a different person, not only sharp teeth, but also versatile, even chanting poetry, this is obviously incredible!
No, it should be said that this is impossible to do at all, unless, this person, is not Chu Ge at all!
She stared at Chu Ge for a long time, but she didn't see any flaws, if she wasn't Chu Ge, why could she look exactly the same? She had also seen the disguise technique, but her face couldn't stick to her face for a long time, and with Ji Beihan's ability, it was impossible to see the flaws in her disguise, so this person was indeed Chu Ge!
So what did she go through to go from a fool with an IQ of only five years old to suddenly become so smart?
Chu Meng's heart was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to expose her rashly, she needs to investigate this matter slowly, I believe that one day, it will come to light, Chu Ge, who are you?
After Chu Ge recited poetry, the Queen Mother's attitude towards her was better, and Zhao Yanxi's light was also completely suppressed, and she sat down sullenly, and she was also puzzled in her heart, why was this fool suddenly not stupid?
Chu Ge really didn't want to be in the limelight, but today, he couldn't help it.
Fortunately, the queen mother is old, she can't be too tired, and after making trouble with everyone for so long, she is a little tired and leaves early, leaving these official ladies and young ladies and young ladies who can move freely, as long as they don't destroy the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, they can play as much as they want.
So, Concubine Xia hurriedly invited Chu Ge to her Caixia Palace for tea, and Chu Ge didn't know how long Ji Beihan would have to come to pick her up, so she simply agreed.
The location of Caixia Palace is not good, and there are not many palace maids, but the Caixia Palace is very clean and tidy, and the maidservants are also very lively.
Sitting down at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, there was a maidservant serving tea and pastries, and Concubine Xia personally poured tea for her, "Here in this palace, you don't have to be restrained, it's the same as your own home." ”
"Thank you, Sister Xia. Chu Ge was not polite, eating pastries and tasting tea, looking around, there is an alley at the side door of this Caixia Palace, which seems to lead directly to the Palace of Eternal Life, if she can live here, she can go to the Palace of Eternal Life at night, with the help of Xiao Yanzi, she successfully entered the emperor's bedroom and stole the Qinglong Sword!
It's exciting to think about.
"It's nice to be here and it's quiet to sleep at night. If only I could stay here for one night and feel it. ”
Concubine Xia smiled, "What's so difficult about this? If you want to come and live, you can do it at any time, as long as King Ji agrees, this concubine will definitely have no opinion." ”
Chu Ge thought, Ji Beihan should agree, right? Anyway, he doesn't touch me, if I tell him that he wants to live in this Caixia Palace, how will he react?
"Okay, then I'll go back and ask him, if he has no opinion, I'll come to live tomorrow, don't dislike me. ”
Concubine Xia said happily, "You said this, this palace is looking forward to it, don't let this palace down!"
