Chapter 138

Fight for Yourself (Part I)

Emperor Tianxuan and many officials slowly sat down, and under the auspices of Emperor Tianxuan and the empress, the banquet began.

Thinking of Song Li's previous pitying eyes, Bai Yuyan's heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, she glared at Song Li's back fiercely, her eyes were like knives.

Emperor Tianxuan first rewarded several officials who went to the south for disaster relief.

Song Huaijin was promoted to a product, and was given 100 taels of gold, 10 brocades, and a number of rare treasures.

After everyone received their thanksgiving, a group of dancing girls poured onto the stage and began to dance to cheer up.

Song Li raised his hand to grab the wine jug, but was slapped on the back of his hand by the old lady, "How is your own body, and you still drink without counting in your heart?" ”

"Just drink a little bit, and it doesn't affect you."

Song Li muttered quietly, but he didn't dare to disobey the old lady's words, and withdrew his hand stupidly.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Guifei suddenly proposed to let the ladies of each family dance, and the emperor gladly accepted Bai Guifei's proposal.

Bai Yuyan spoke surprisingly and proposed to try it with Song Li.

Most of the people present knew in their hearts that Bai Yuyan loved Chu Rong, and everyone didn't feel inappropriate in the face of her request, coupled with the recent rumors in Beijing, they all wanted to see the scene where the notorious Miss Song was crushed.

You must know that Bai Yuyan's famous work is a dance shock.

And Song Li, except for the song at the previous banquet, it seems that there is nothing special.

Everyone was interested, eagerly waiting for the gamble to begin.

"I'm not available."

How could Song Li not know Bai Yuyan's careful thoughts, didn't she just want to take the opportunity to step on her to show her excellence, but she was not as good as she wanted, and Bai Yuyan was sent away with a fluttering word.

"Miss Song doesn't dare?"

Bai Yuyan raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically.

Song Li looked at Bai Yuyan and chuckled, no matter what she said before, Bai Yuyan was long away from her sister and short from her sister, but now that she has changed to Miss Song, she is still a little unaccustomed to it.

"It's not that you don't dare, do you disdain to understand?"

She picked up an almond and threw it into her mouth, chewed it twice, and said with empty eyes.

Although she doesn't know how to dance, her momentum can't be left behind, and she can't be underestimated.

"Dancing is your forte, I haven't learned to dance in the mountains since I was eight years old, aren't you taking advantage of me, and you want to use me as a stepping stone, so you're not afraid of falling to death!?"

She raised her eyebrows, and she was embarrassed by Bai Yuyan to propose to dance with her, and she was not afraid of being ridiculed when she said it, and she used her strengths to compare the shortcomings of others, which was nothing to be proud of.

Bai Yuyan's face was red and white when she was sarcastically ridiculed by Song Li, she really wanted to use Song Li to show herself, but when she moved it to the surface, it seemed that she was a little narrow-minded.

"Since Miss Song has said so, she must have thought of other ways to compete, you might as well talk about it!"

She said slowly with a calm face.

"Nope."

Song Li glanced at Bai Yuyan, lowered her head and flicked her chopsticks around the plate, not caring that everyone was looking at her.

"Li'er was injured in prison before, and she hasn't fully recovered, so let's wait until she recovers."

Seeing that Song Li was hanging Bai Yuyan in one place, the queen hurriedly opened her mouth to play a round.

Bai Yuyan glared at Song Li angrily, and snorted unwillingly, "Since it's inconvenient to dance, it's always okay to play the piano, right?" ”

When Song Li heard this, she immediately became interested, she pointed at Bai Yuyan with chopsticks and scolded with a disdainful smile: "It's not that I hurt you, it's earlier than you, let's practice for a few more years!" ”

Her unashamed words instantly caused a lot of fluctuations.

"Don't be too arrogant Song Li, Miss Bai is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what else do you have besides being able to play the piano?"

Zhou Ranran glanced at Song Li and quickly said with contempt.

When Song Li heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but in an instant, he quickly calmed down again.

Bai Yuyan is a recognized talented woman in the capital, if she crushes Bai Yuyan in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wouldn't it be more powerful than Bai Yuyan? Who would dare to say that she is illiterate!

"I can compare with you in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but ......" She slapped her chopsticks on the table, slowly stood up, looked at Bai Yuyan provocatively, and said word by word: "If you lose, kneel down and shout three times, you Bai Yuyan is not as good as me, Song Li, do you dare?" ”

Looking at Song Licheng's proud appearance in his chest, Bai Yuyan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of fear in her heart.

Song Li smiled, a pair of eyes completed the half-moon shape, and the smile did not reach the bottom of the eyes, "I have been called a gentleman since I was a child, the second ancestor, and I am tired of this reputation for so many years." ”

"Actually, I think I won't be worse than Miss Bai in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't want to compare, I think it's boring and vulgar! If I want to compare, this female name can't fall on your Miss Bai, understand? ”

"I'm a casual person and likes freedom, so everything I do comes with me, I'm happy, I didn't want to compare anything with you and didn't want to grab anything from you, but you Bai Yuyan just pulled me and didn't let go, always like to use me as a stepping stone to show your excellence with my poor strength to maintain your vulnerable sense of superiority and self-esteem."

"You can't forget that my master is a Qingxu Daoist, right? Do you really think that my master will let me, an official lady, become a waste? ”

"My master often admonished me that such elegant things as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are used to improve the mind and cultivate sentiment, not to compare the good and the bad."

"It's a pity that you don't have this awareness, relying on learning fine skills to look down on people who are worse than you, and you look down on no one in your eyes, and now I will let you often be trampled under the feet of people!"

Song Li's every word and sentence smashed hard into Bai Yuyan's heart.

Looking at Song Li, who was constantly approaching full aura, Bai Yuyan actually had the urge to escape.

Her hands were clenched, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the pain from her palms continued to stimulate her nerves.

All eyes fell on Song Li.

Song Lisheng is not bad, it can even be said to be extremely beautiful, her beauty is not ordinary beauty, but the beauty that reveals the dangerous atmosphere, the beauty is fierce, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, just like a flower growing in the wind between the cliffs, revealing the domineering spirit of soaring between the heavens and the earth.

Because of her unbearable reputation, everyone ignored her beauty and only remembered her shortcomings. Now that she has become the focus of the audience, everyone has discovered the hidden beauty in her.

Bai Yuyan stood together, Bai Yuyan's watery arrogance instantly became worthless, and all the light that was originally on her fell on the second ancestor who had been talked and laughed at by everyone after dinner.

"Song Li, this girl, surprised me very much!"

Emperor Tianxuan suddenly laughed, tilted his head and said to the queen.

The queen nodded, "Yes, she always has surprises in her." ”

Song Li smiled, looked at Bai Yuyan who was close at hand again, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Bai is still better?" ”

Bai Yuyan looked at Song Li's smiling appearance, only to feel that it was extremely dazzling, the strength in her hand continued to increase, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Than." ”

Song Li immediately stroked his palms and applauded, "Then come on." ”

She said to Bai Yuyan, and soon walked onto the stage with a relaxed pace.

Bai Yuyan looked at her light posture and untimid appearance, and the fear in her heart became more and more intense, as if she was going to devour her.

"Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone ready, thank you."

Song Li said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

After a while, a group of palace maids came up with a table and a pen and paper, and placed them in front of Song Li and Bai Yuyan respectively.

"Since it's a gamble, it's interesting to gamble, and someone will be on the half of the incense!"

Song Li waved his big hand and shouted again.

Looking at the incense burner carried by the palace people, Bai Yuyan's eyes suddenly flashed with fear.

Her body trembled slightly, and the desire to escape intensified.

The palace man took out the fire fold and lit the half-pillar incense.

Song Li glanced at Bai Yuyan lightly, shook his head lightly and said, "Bai Yuyan, your heart is already in turmoil." ”

Seeing Song Li's words breaking her state at this time, Bai Yuyan's heart became more and more anxious.

Song Li poured the ink on the paper, then leaned down to blow the ink away, and in a moment the flower branches jumped on the paper, and when she saw the branches taking shape, she quickly lifted the pen to decorate the details, half of the pillar of incense went down and half of it, and her plum blossom branches had been drawn.

And Bai Yuyan only drew a few strokes on his side.

Song Li poured out the red ink, picked up a clean brush and dipped it, and began to flower plum blossoms.

Bai Yuyan raised her eyes and glanced at Song Li, only to see that Song Li was pursing her lips and concentrating on painting.

Looking at the appearance of Song Lifen's writing, everyone was curious, what Song Li was painting. Is half a pillar of incense really enough?

Everyone didn't wait long, and at the moment when the incense burned out, Song Li slowly put down the pen.

"It's time, Miss Bai, please stop writing!"

The palace maid glanced at the incense burner in her hand and quickly announced loudly that the time had come.

Bai Yuyan stopped the pen in her hand and looked at the unformed painting in front of her, her eyes darkened.

At this time, she didn't believe that Song Li could finish painting! At most, it's a tie!

She thought viciously, and saw Song Li hold the drawing paper in front of her high.

When painting on the paper, a pair of thick ink painted bitter cold red plum, red plum and thick ink complement each other, the plum blossom branch faintly visible white as if the snow has really fallen, the lines are clear and smooth, the style is elegant and delicate, the pen and color are not difficult to see the skill.

"Good painting!"

Emperor Tianxuan squinted at the bitter cold red plum painting in Song Li's hand and praised without hesitation.

The crowd was also unexpected.

I didn't expect Song Li to really be able to paint, which was really surprising.

"Miss Bai, what about yours?"

Song Li handed the painting to the palace maid on the side and presented it to Emperor Tianxuan, slowly turned his head to look at Bai Yuyan, and asked with a faint smile.

Bai Yuyan looked at the flower in front of her who couldn't see it, and her mouth was extremely bitter.

She lost the first game of drawing.

Lost completely.

The palace maid stepped forward and held the painting made by Bai Yuyan high.

There are flowers and plants painted on the white paper, which are not painted at all, and the bitter cold red plum of Song Li is simply 108,000 miles away.

Everyone looked at Bai Yuyan and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, the reactions of the two were diametrically opposed.

Song Li blows ink into branches, but Bai Yuyan can only think of the usual painting methods, not a single painting is finished, just looking at the reaction, Song Li is far beyond Bai Yuyan.

Looking at the painting again, Song Li is not at all inferior to Bai Yuyan's previous paintings, and his painting skills are richer than Bai Yuyan's.

The outcome is clearly obvious.

The former talented woman, is she really going to be compared to a gentleman?

"Go on!"

Song Li didn't give Bai Yuyan a chance to breathe.
