Two days later, the flower-viewing banquet was held on time, and Liu Jiaojiao finally got rid of Xie Linlang's devil training.

In the past two days, she has deeply understood a truth, when her mother is ruthless, her stepmother is a fart!

Her body transformed by Lingquan and the super memory brought by the plug-in have been abused for the past two days and want to pretend to be dead to escape.

God knows, when she came to the beginning of the flower-viewing feast, she couldn't wait to sing a song "The sky in the liberated area is a clear day".

Finally liberated, and if she was trained by such a devil again, she felt that she would go crazy.

It stands to reason that a court gathering like the flower viewing banquet, which gathers the nobles of various families in the capital, should be managed by the queen with the harem concubines, but Gu Tingfeng has not been married so far, and the harem is as clean as a blank sheet of paper, so he is the only one sitting on the main seat at the moment.

Liu Jun sat on the lower left of him, and behind him stood a nameless man with a serious expression but gossip in his eyes.

However, the courtiers didn't mind, and even faintly held back their strength, hoping that their excellent daughter could be favored by the emperor, and then they could enter the harem and fly with the whole family with a pretending to be 13.

After all, it is better to stay in the ancient dynasty and enter the emperor's harem than to go to a neighboring country to be the princess of a prince who has no real power.

Now that the Xie family has recovered, and it has been reused by the new emperor, Xie Chenfeng has been promoted several levels in the past two days, and the official residence is the prime minister, which is considered to be above 10,000 people under one person, so as the young lady of the Xie family, Liu Jiaojiao naturally sat in a position closer to Gu Tingfeng, and then there were several county kings and county lords and daughters of idle clans.

After everyone saluted and shouted long live to Gu Tingfeng, the art (pro) was bigger than the (big) fight (meeting) began.

As expected by Liu Jiaojiao and the Xie family, the content of the competition was really deliberately selected what she was not good at, and the first round of the competition was piano skills, and the order of appearance was determined by drawing lots.

The nobles have been ordered by the elders before they come, and they must show their best side in front of the emperor and the king of Xiaoyao, so after drawing lots, they are all very serious, especially those who want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, and they directly go out and show their piano skills at the bottom of the box.

Liu Jiaojiao's draw was the penultimate one, and it happened to be the finale.

When she saw the sign in her hand, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, why can't the system give her a plug-in to enhance her luck? can't she be a European emperor for a while?

When it was Liu Jiaojiao's turn to play, all the nobles quieted down, and their eyes were on her, some were curious, some were inquisitive, and more were waiting to see the jokes.

Although the matter between her and Liu Jun has not spread, it is not a secret in this circle, and basically everyone who should know knows it, but they don't know Gu Tingfeng's feelings for her, and they only think that the emperor looks down on her unreserved style, so he deliberately made a flower viewing party, unwilling to let her marry Liu Jun.

After everyone found out that there was no on-site poetry in the three items of today's competition, it directly became the default reason for the big guys.

Liu Jiaojiao didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and after burning incense and cleaning her hands according to the rules, she sat in front of the prepared guqin.

When she flicked the first note with her fingers, the noblewomen who were proficient in the rhythm laughed.

The layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway, and when she hears it, she knows that she is not good at learning.

But when everyone found out that the song she played was unheard of, and she was still singing, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

The song was not difficult, and it was very simple, but it sounded so good and catchy that it was almost as long as you listened to it once and you could memorize it completely, and when you listened to the words she sang, the faces of the ladies became darker and darker.

It's unheard of lyrics again, thinking that she once won the top of the poetry club, could it be that she wrote it herself?

Compared with the ancient songs played by other nobles, the technique of this piece can be described as extremely simple, but because the song is too novel, coupled with the poignant and sad words, it has been directly raised several grades.

This is the so-called surprise winning, when you listen to a lot of similar ancient songs, suddenly come a different little fresh, isn't that an instant grab all the attention?

After the singing ended, Liu Jiaojiao got up and saluted, Shi Shiran returned to her seat, and did not forget to quietly wink at Liu Jun halfway.

The meaning is clear – look, am I great?

Liu Jun, who was originally fascinated by what she heard, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth lightly, revealing a very gentle smile, completely ignoring the occasion, raised her right hand, and gave her a thumbs up to express her approval.

Gu Tingfeng never expected that Liu Jiaojiao would have this ability, let alone that these two people would dare to frown in front of so many people, and they were so angry that they almost had a seizure on the spot, but fortunately, after the thunder on the side noticed that something was wrong, he immediately quietly held him down, otherwise everyone would have to watch a big show.

I don't have to say anything about this round, naturally Liu Jiaojiao won, even if Gu Tingfeng is very unhappy in his heart, he can't say that Liu Jiaojiao can't do it with a clear conscience, after all, the eyes of the masses are bright, and seeing the fascinated expressions of everyone when she plays and sings, she has already determined that she has won.

The second round of the competition was to test the drawing skills.

This time, there is no need to draw lots to determine the order, but to take a stick of incense as the time, and the ladies will do it at the same time.

Just after the eunuch had just announced the rules of the competition, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly stood up, and after saluting Gu Tingfeng, she asked: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have something to ask clearly, is the painting skills competition a painting skill, or the painting itself?" ”

Gu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "There are both, but the artistic conception expressed in the painting is more important. ”

"The courtiers understand, Emperor Xie has solved the doubts." Liu Jiaojiao bowed her head delicately, and then sat down obediently.

Gu Tingfeng didn't understand what her sudden question meant, but seeing that she had already lifted the pen, her eyes narrowed slightly and began to think, so she didn't ask her, but asked the eunuch to light incense and start the timer. Ranwen

Liu Jiaojiao really doesn't know how to draw with a brush, but she was obsessed with comics for a while when she was in school, so she started copying and learned a lot of comic skills.

In addition to the characters in the comics, there are also a lot of flowers, and she also learned a little, and the best drawing is the lotus, because she thinks it is relatively simple compared to the more petals of the rose.

It's a pity that in this era, there is no such ultra-thin drawing brush for comics, so she chose the thinnest brush, dipped it in ink, and began to sketch it seriously.

Fortunately, there is a time difference between the time in the space and the time in the outside world, otherwise she is caught by Xie Linlang every day to practice the piano, where would she have time to get familiar with how to draw with a brush?

Not familiar with the coloring method of Chinese painting, she simply used all the black ink and painted a few ink lotus flowers swaying in the wind.

The time for a stick of incense soon ended, when Gu Tingfeng and Liu Jun walked down and checked the paintings of the nobles one by one, a group of butterflies suddenly flew out of nowhere, and then flew to Liu Jiaojiao's location in unison, and finally, they all stopped on her paintings, as if they were collecting honey.

Not to mention the question of whether the lotus flower will be nectar by butterflies, just because her painting can attract butterflies, this painting can be regarded as a divine work.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

What's going on? Can you draw butterflies? It's simply unheard of.

The few noble ladies who were closer to her were all so curious that they forgot that the emperor was present for a while, and walked over directly to observe what was going on.

And then...... They were even more confused.

The drawing method is very strange, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like a beginner, the lines are not smooth, the composition is not vivid, and the color is single, and only black is used.

But who would tell them why this painting that didn't look so good could attract butterflies? Is the butterfly crazy? Or did this man do something?

Gu Tingfeng naturally thought of this after seeing this spectacle, and he had a deep understanding of Liu Jiaojiao's unsmart head.

So, he walked in front of Liu Jiaojiao, looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Miss Xie, cheating is not a good behavior." ”

In front of so many people, he didn't dare to call her "Jiaojiao" directly as before, for fear of causing her trouble, so he had to pretend that the two were not very familiar.

Liu Jiaojiao looked at him innocently and said, "Your Majesty, you are a golden mouth, you can't wronged your courtiers!" Since the beginning of the competition, the courtiers have not been in contact with other people, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstones used for painting are all sent by the palace people, besides, haven't you been watching the courtiers and others paint on the spot? Where is the opportunity to cheat? ”

Gu Tingfeng really wanted to say that it was naturally impossible for others to cheat in this situation, but you definitely can, because you have special means.

However, it is impossible for him to expose Liu Jiaojiao's little secret in front of everyone, as an insider, he is very willing to keep this secret for her, after all, it may be a common secret that only belongs to the two of them.

"In that case, you don't mind if I check it out, do you?" Although he is willing to keep it secret for her, he doesn't want her to win the first place, two wins in three games, if she wins this round again, he will have to knock out his teeth and swallow blood to marry her and Liu Jun.

It's a no-no, absolutely no! Otherwise, what would he be looking for in this flower viewing? Personally correct the names of the two and watch them become dependents?

Liu Jiaojiao's expression did not change at all, she nodded without hesitation, and then made a "please" gesture at him, and said, "Of course, please ask the emperor to check." ”

Gu Tingfeng saw that she didn't have any weakness at all, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she really didn't do anything wrong, or did she do things but people couldn't check them?

He immediately summoned Thunder and asked him to carefully inspect the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he himself picked up the ink lotus painted by Liu Jiaojiao and carefully examined it.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Soon, Thunder was checked.

Gu Tingfeng took the painting and looked at it carefully for a while, and got close to sniff it with his nose, but he didn't check out the slightest problem, and after hearing Lei Ting's words, he put the painting back on the table very depressed.

Liu Jun stood silently and watched until then he spoke: "Your Majesty, is there a problem with Miss Xie's painting?" ”

Gu Tingfeng glared at him sideways, almost gritted his teeth and said, "No!" Ask! Title! ”

"Then it seems that Miss Xie still won this round of competition, after all, only her paintings can attract butterflies, if this kind of painting comparable to divine skills can't win, this king has to doubt whether this competition is fair."

You two are definitely working together to trick me! Gu Tingfeng flipped the table in his heart and roared.

"This talent competition is a best-of-three system, and since Miss Xie won both rounds of the competition, I announced that the leader of this talent competition is Miss Xie!"

It's so angry, but keep smiling.

"The courtiers thanked the emperor." Liu Jiaojiao immediately smiled and saluted.

"Uncle Huang, since the leader has been decided, my nephew asks you to announce the marriage." Liu Jun also smiled and saluted.

Gu Tingfeng: "......", who sings and harmonizes, and deliberately shouts the title he is most annoying to hear, can he change the marriage to death?

I'm so angry, what's the use of me being this emperor?
