After Yulian's waist was tightly held by Xuanyuan Xuanling, she tried to break free, but she was held tighter.

"Go on."

Yulian's ears heard Xuanyuan Xuanling's domineering and somewhat gentle command.

Yulian was numb all over her body at the moment, and she didn't seem to be able to even breathe.

In front of everyone's eyes, he sat in Xuanyuan Xuanling's arms, hugged him tightly, and seemed to ask, how could he talk like just now, with his head on his head and a word?

"Are you going to sit like this all the time? Or will I hurry up and let you go? ”

Xuanyuan Xuanling said coldly in Yulian's ear.

"I want to sit down there and talk slowly." Yulian felt that she was being held too tightly by him, and she was about to faint, so she pointed to the seat of Matsueko Hara on the left, and whispered.

"Uncomfortable sitting here?" Xuanyuan Xuanling saw that Yulian wanted to sit on Song Jiangzi's chair, and asked funny.

"Don't dare, it's comfortable~" Yulian's answer was even funnier.

When Xuanyuan Xuanling heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and gently let go of Yulian.

After Yulian Teng stood up, she felt top-heavy, so she held the edge of the table with her hand and panted softly.

She had already spent a lot of time when she first painted, and then she was hugged tightly by Xuanyuan Xuanling, and her heart was extremely restless, and she really wanted to faint at the moment.

Xuanyuan Xuanling saw that Yulian's face was pale, and immediately stood up and helped her who was about to fall.

Dongfang and Songjiangzi, who were on the side, saw that they were hugging tightly before, and they had already looked away.

But Dongfang squinted, why did they still hug each other.

Moreover, he was sitting and hugging just now, but now he stood up and hugged again, Dongfang really didn't see it, he quickly moved his chair over and placed it a little away from Xuanyuan Xuanling.

"Princess, please sit here and speak!"

And Song Jiangzi heard Dongfang call the girl in front of him a princess, so he looked at Yulian in amazement.

At this time, Xuanyuan Xuanling helped Yulian and let her sit on the chair brought by Dongfang, bowed his head and asked gently, "Is there something wrong?" After speaking, he waved his hand and asked his father-in-law to bring a cup of hot tea.

Yulian drank the hot tea, left Xuanyuan Xuanling's arms again, and soon came back to life full of blood.

"It's okay, I'm not so squeamish?"

When Xuanyuan Xuanling heard Yulian say this, his gentle eyes became cold again, and he glared at Yulian.

Because he suddenly remembered again, the delicate appearance of the princess when she entered the palace on the first day, of course he would be angry!

Hmph, now that I say I'm not so squeamish, I don't want to think about how you deceived me in the first place.

Dongfang ignored Xuanyuan Xuanling's dark face, and gently tapped the painting with his fingers: "Please continue." ”

Yulian just thought about it, the task is not completed yet! He cleared his throat and said:

Generally speaking, the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project not only effectively controlled the occurrence of flood disasters, but also fully met the irrigation and domestic water needs of the entire Jinguancheng Plain, and achieved the ultimate goal of "water and drought from people". ”

Songjiangzi has been immersed in the grandeur of the water conservancy map, and after listening to Yulian's explanation, there are still many puzzles, so he asked: "Then the sediment after the diversion of this flying sand weir will accumulate more and more!" And how. ”

"The sediment of the flying sand weir should also be cleaned regularly, but the stone horse needs to be placed on the weir and used as the depth standard, and the stone horse must be stopped as soon as it is exposed during the cleaning."

"How did this fish-mouthed island come to be? It can withstand the impact of such a large current. Dongfang was also curious.

Yulian thought to herself, fortunately, she had done enough homework in the past few days, and she expected that they would have a lot of problems when they saw the map, so she had already silently gone through the composition of the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project several times in detail.

"The sages invented the structure of the pestle to build a watershed island in the river."

"What is a pistle structure?" Even Xuanyuan Xuanling couldn't help but ask.

"The pestle is a triangular corner frame made of logs, when using a plurality of pestles arranged in rows, the middle is fixed with a horizontal log, and a pebble is placed on the horizontal wooden platform, the weight of the pebble is fixed to it, a multi-layer bamboo fence is added to the outer layer of the water surface, and then a thick yellow clay is tamped, which can play the role of retaining water and intercepting the flow. Moreover, you can see that this island is narrow at first and then wide, very similar to a fish's mouth, so that the shape can better resist the impact of the water. ”

Xuanyuan Xuanling was not calm after hearing this, and nodded frequently: "At present, China's flood prevention and control is all about damming and waterproofing, but this design is "no dam water diversion", which is wonderful!" ”

Song Jiangzi was also amazed: "The girl is really a strange person, she can design such an amazing work, it's amazing!" After Song Jiangzi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Yulian.

"Don't dare, you just divide me into eight pieces, and I can't design it." Yulian hurriedly stood up and shook her hand repeatedly.

"Oh! Who designed it? Dongfang asked curiously, this is exactly what Xuanyuan Xuanling wanted to ask, so they all looked at the princess and waited for her answer.

"This is what I saw from a book of monuments, created by our sage, Mr. Li Bing." Yulian had already thought of her words.

At this time, Song Jiangzi turned around and asked Dongfang: "Which princess in the palace is this girl?" ”

Because he was very curious, which princess had such a good talent.

"Mr. Song, let's get down to business!"

Song Jiangzi heard the emperor's reminder, so he saved his business, hurriedly walked back to his seat, and sorted out the paintings on the table.

At this time, the other five painters in the curtain were all dozing off.

After Song Jiangzi carefully arranged the paintings on the table, the painters came to their senses, stepped out of the curtains, and waited quietly for him to announce the results.

"After the second round of selection, Lao Yu selected the top three painting students."

After Songjiangzi said this, he looked around at the painters and continued: "The first is the Jiuquluo water map of the third painter; the second is the Dujiangyan water conservancy map of No. 5 painter; The third is the No. 2 painter's Wunan sirling water map. ”

After he finished speaking, he stroked his beard to himself, waiting for the reaction of the painters.

"Ahh I chose it! ”

"Alas, I'm off the list again, I'm so ashamed!"

The painters are nothing more than these two reactions, those who win are elated, and those who fail are depressed.

And when Yulian heard that she was actually the second place, she not only clapped her palms happily, but was swept away by Xuanyuan Xuanling's afterglow, and quickly stopped, and restrained her smug expression.

After the other painters thanked the emperor and Mr. He, they retreated one after another.

Song Jiangzi originally wanted to say goodbye, but the question in his heart was not solved, and he was unwilling, so he said to Yulian: "Please tell the girl her name, if you tell others about this picture, it is also convenient to explain." ”

"The old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, just call me "Qinglian". Yulian didn't think about it, and replied heartily.

"Okay, the old man knows, thank you to the "Qinglian" girl. ”

After Song Jiangzi said this, she remembered what Dongfang called her just now, and she always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, she suddenly realized: "Qinglian, princess, you are the princess of Qinglian of the Floating Jade Country." ”

Songjiangzi was stunned after speaking, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Exactly."

"Ah~, you are really ...... I~" Song Jiangzi listened to Yulian's short and affirmative answer, and was so shocked that he became incoherent for a while.

Song Jiangzi thought of the two ingenious pictures of the mountains in the fog, and then thought of the ghostly Dujiangyan water conservancy map just now, and then looked at the beautiful appearance of the princess "Qinglian", remembering that he had made a bad comment on her, and he didn't feel cold sweat, and he was ashamed of his shame.

He inadvertently looked at the emperor again, and the emperor was looking at him with a solemn expression at this time, with a faint anger in his eyes, and Song Jiangzi suddenly understood everything.

He hurriedly walked a few steps forward, bowed deeply to the princess of "Qinglian" and said: "Forgive the old man for having no eyes, when he didn't know the princess, he heard some bad words about the princess, and he slandered the princess's name, and the old man was guilty, and he made amends to the princess." ”

At this time, Yulian didn't understand the situation at all, her eyes widened blankly, and she looked at Song Jiangzi in astonishment.

Dongfang whispered two words in her ear, and she understood.

Yulian walked up to Song Jiangzi, and said with a wave of her jade hand: "The old gentleman has known his mistakes, and he has changed them immediately, it doesn't matter, I won't take it to heart." ”

Song Jiangzi never expected the princess to be so outspoken, and she was even more ashamed, and bowed deeply to the princess and said, "Princess Xie is magnanimous." ”

Song Jiangzi wanted to leave after speaking, but Yulian suddenly stopped him: "Old man, you are wrong, I am not a magnanimous person......

As soon as Yulian said this, not only Songjiangzi was stunned when she heard this, Dongfang and Xuanyuan Xuanling were all taken aback, and they all stared at Yulian tightly.

"Then punish the old gentleman to paint another fan of the emperor's mulberry! I'll give it back to the emperor. Yulian pretended to say in a serious tone.

Xuanyuan Xuanling and Dongfang both smiled and breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her say this, just thought that the princess would punish Song Jiangzi heavily? ”

Song Jiangzi reacted in the same way, first nervous, and then shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Old decay obeys." With that, he turned around and left.

Yulian glanced at Xuanyuan Xuanling triumphantly.

"I don't like the glittering imperial mulberry flower very much, so I don't have to return it." Xuanyuan Xuanling said with a frown.

"Who said I was going to pay it back, I want to keep it for myself, and when I am short of money one day, I will use it to buy it, four thousand taels of gold!" When Yulian said four thousand taels of gold, her eyes were glowing.

Dongfang on the side couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

"Oh, by the way, then I won the second place, can I go to the academy to work." Yulian suddenly remembered the most important thing, looked at Dongfang and asked.

"Second place...... How so? Dongfang suddenly didn't know how to answer the princess's question.

"What's wrong!" Yulian sensed the strangeness of the East and stepped up her pursuit.

"This second place is assigned to the emperor's special painter according to the rules." Dongfang Yi gritted his teeth and said.

"What, the emperor's special painter, that is, you can't go to the painting academy to teach painting!" Yulian was stunned.

Dongfang nodded cautiously, turned around and slipped away.

Yulian sat for a long time before she asked again, "Why the second place?" Shouldn't the emperor use the best first place? ”

"The best should be reserved for the professors of the art academy to educate people, and I can't be good at it." Xuanyuan Xuanling stood up and walked behind Yulian and replied leisurely.

"Alas, I knew that I was almost drawn, and it would be nice to get a third place." Yulian said with a sigh.

"Hmph, if I want Songjiangzi to only look at the paintings, I will announce the results without listening to your explanation, let alone the third place, and you will have a share in the last place."
