If you want to successfully complete your course from Hongwen, there are two ways. The first is to get the first place in the Lanzhou City Wenxin Association, and the second is to pass Hongwen's mock palace selection when he reaches his age.

In fact, Ning Shuying had already met the conditions, but in order to let her continue to make friends with those noble girls, King Pingnan did not rush to ask her to leave the academy.

"Miss, why haven't you changed your clothes yet, it's a literary meeting tonight, and I haven't seen you read a book these days."

Luan'er pushed the door in at this time, and saw that Yanxin was still lying on the bed, so she urged her.

"You should have some confidence in me, at the level of Ning Shuying, you can't let me read at night."

Yan Xin rolled over and reclined, playing with her thin hair back to her.

"But the king of Pingnan is really ruthless, our letters have been sent for a day and a night, and I don't see him come to receive people......"

Because of yesterday's incident, Liu Valve just ordered someone to invite a doctor to come and see, and he didn't dare to disturb the banquet and rest after that.

Although the doctor who invited Yanxin to act before specially took care of him for ten days and half a month, he couldn't move around, but the Wen Hui was about to go, Liu Valve would not appear because he was going to patrol the city that day, and one of the Su family's concubines could only stay at home, so there was no need for Liu Tang'er to cover it up at all......

So the people who knew that he was injured were not there at all, and there was no need for her to act.

After a whole day, Luan'er was not idle, and by the way, she helped Yanxin inquire about the situation of the Pingnan Wang's mansion.

Yan Xin didn't care, it seems that he had already expected the result.

"It seems that King Pingnan has put all his chips on his daughter. It's okay, we'll go tonight and see how capable they are. ”

"Now, the prince...... It seems that he has been very close to Ning Shuying recently. Luan'er paused, but couldn't help but whisper.

She knew Luan'er's thoughts, after all, the prince had been the object of their family's assistance, if the prince failed to succeed to the throne later, then all the efforts made by their family would be in vain, and her father would not be blind under Jiuquan.

"Although the prince has a bit of humanity, he may not be able to be a good emperor, he is too easy to believe people's words, and there must be dangers along the way. If you can get out of this position sooner, it may be much easier in the future. ”

In addition, Yan Xin also had some guesses about the relationship between him and Ning Shuying, King Pingnan had the idea of the crown princess, so he deliberately created a lot of opportunities for the two of them.

No wonder Pingnan Wangfu has released so much news recently, it seems that they are determined to win the banquet, and they don't know what tricks they will come up with in today's competition.

"That's right, I once persuaded my father to do this, but my father insisted on going his own way, and in the end, even the Bai family ended up like this."

may be because Luan'er has slowly accepted this matter, so every time she recalls it, she only has resentment.

Yan Xin patted her on the shoulder and comforted.

Don't worry, today's victory against Ning Shuying is just the first step, and then I will make Qin Xuanlang pay for the blood on his hands. ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival was attended by a total of ten women, all of whom were recommended by the Hongwen Garden. If you can win the championship in one of them, you can graduate from Hongwen directly without assessment and become a hot lady in Xunyang City.

The whole competition is mainly based on poetry and songs, supplemented by dance and music.

There are three rounds in total, with only one winner picked.

Yan Xin sat in front of the dresser and curled her hair, thinking about which style of skirt she should choose in front of many nobles today in order to make an impression.

She couldn't help but look at Luan'er, she was always dressed in white and had a very gentle appearance, which could indeed leave a deep impression. It's just that such a plain color is inevitably dull among many women with heavy makeup.

Suddenly, she squinted her gaze and saw the ink on the table, and she couldn't help but have a plan.

She ordered someone to find a pure white gauze skirt, first let people spread it on the ground, and then used a paintbrush to stain ink on the skirt to paint.

"Miss, why do such expensive dresses have to be so bad? The South Sea pearls on this chest are worth a lot of money. ”

Luan'er exclaimed while grinding!

"You don't understand this, there must be a lot of women competing in this meeting today, and those who have seen a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas will definitely miss the shallots mixed with tofu."

Yan Xin didn't care about it, and explained it with a very down-to-earth example.

Of course, Luan'er is also a smart girl, she can understand some things at a glance, and she will draw inferences from others.

"Well, I understand, in fact, Miss is pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, not those who are glamorous and colorful can attract attention, sometimes the opposite may be the opposite."

Yan Xin nodded, then stopped the brush in her hand, she lifted the skirt with one hand and unfolded it, and the special landscape of mountains and rivers was painted on the hem of the skirt to be considered complete.

Luan'er leaned over from the table and couldn't help but praise.

Such a black, white and gray gauze skirt, Luan Er has never seen it, the ink is picturesque, and the rivers and mountains are clothes. Just for this artistic conception, you can see that it can be called a wonderful word. ”

Yan Xin put down the materials in his hand and walked to the basin to wash his hands.

"Okay, that's it, let's dry it first, I guess it should be dried in a while. Let's get the hair and makeup done first, before I flipped through the ancient books, which introduced the common hair bun used by princesses in the previous dynasty, let's give it a try. ”

Luan Er nodded, thinking of the dance prepared by Yanxin today, so she half-learned and half-created a flowing fairy bun for Yanxin, this bun is nothing special, but it is combed higher, more eye-catching, and it is very flattering to the face of Yanxin.

Yan Xin, who picked up the eyebrow pencil, just wanted to make a move, but there was the sound of other people's footsteps outside the door, Yan Xin quickly asked Luan Er to put away the white dress, took out a palace dress that was red and purple and full of gems, and placed it in an obvious place.

"Sister Yanxin, Tang'er is here to bring you rouge."

Liu Tang'er's soft voice sounded from outside the door, and Yan Xin knew that it was her.

Since Liu Zhan's incident, I haven't seen Liu Tang'er show up, and today he rushed to salute her, he must have another plan.

She continued to put on her makeup while motioning for Luan'er to open the door.

Just look at this Liu Tang'er seems to have made a lot of preparations for today's Wenhui, and the new clothes on her body are all made in a hurry.

This reminded Yan Xin of an interesting incident before, a girl in this literary meeting suddenly fell ill at a critical moment, which made Liu Tang'er take advantage of the loophole.

So he joked: "I heard that the concubine of Boss Qian's family was infected with the cold, so a candidate was vacated, and many nobles in Lanzhou City squeezed out the quota they wanted, how could you easily get it." ”

Liu Tang'er is also calm on the surface, but in her words, she secretly competes with Yanxin.

"It's just a coincidence, sometimes fate is like this, and even one of my sisters can't run."

Doesn't this Liu Tang'er mean that she also wants to use this opportunity to fight, and openly challenges the authority of her daughter-in-law.

Yan Xin remembered that at the banquet in Pingnan Palace, her dance dress suddenly collapsed, even if she knew in her heart that it was Liu Tang'er's good deed, but there was no evidence and could not cure her offended, so Yan Xin could only stimulate her a few words in words.

"Yes, Sister Sugar can't do any dirty and dirty things for power. But I want to remind my sister that the talented girls in this Wenhui are all the daughters of everyone, and you are all breaking the rules of the Wenhui, and the Liu family can't help you. ”

Liu Tang'er, who heard this, was not angry, and walked straight to the red dress hanging on the hanger by Yanxin, slowly brushed it with her hand, and looked at it secretly.

Half loud only to highlight a sentence angrily.

"When did the Liu family help me, my sister is still cherished by herself, after all, I am not the one who made a bet with someone else."

After that, she left the rouge and left without looking back.

Luan Er didn't know what it meant, so she picked up the rouge and looked at it.

"Will Liu Tang'er not be well-hearted, there shouldn't be anything else in this rouge, let's take it out and throw it away."

Yan Xin looked back at the dress on the shelf, thoughtful, even if he should have done it before he started, why wait until everything was ready?

"No, she's not that stupid to do such a thing. I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink. ”

At night, the street was full of people, most of them walked towards that Yipinzhai, and heard the little guy at the door say that Liu Tang'er went to the direction of Pingnan Wangfu immediately after leaving the banquet house.

Because of the status of the Su family, it is natural that he cannot show up on this occasion, and because he wants to protect the two princes, Liu Valve has been staying in the city patrol camp for several days, and with such a grand event today, he has no time to be idle for a moment, so he hurriedly went to Yipinzhai to prepare for manpower.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Yanxin put on a red robe outside and hurried to Yipinzhai with Luan'er.

There was a lot of traffic on the way, most of them were sedan chairs for dignitaries, and there were excited conversations among the people. It can be heard that Liu Yanxin wants to compete with Ning Shuying, and this Pinzhai immediately vacated more than a dozen additional private rooms.

Luan'er also joked because of this, saying that Yipinzhai is really a good hand at raising prices, and I don't know how much silver can fall into their pockets at a literary meeting.

Yanxin didn't think it was anything, once a year for each certificate, she was already used to seeing Yipinzhai so lively. In the last life, every year, she squeezed the door, watching Ning Shuying and others compete on the same stage, and occasionally once or twice Liu Valve grabbed a place for Liu Tang'er, and she could earn five or six places.

But this time, she entered the game in person, and it must be more thrilling than ever.

When she arrived at the main entrance of Yipinzhai, as soon as she revealed her identity, a little maid came to take her to a separate private room.

"Miss Liu, this is the food that our shopkeeper sent to you, and there is also a fifty-year-old daughter Hong. Don't you know, since the news of you and Miss Ning's family came out, our Yipinzhai business has tripled this year. ”

This little second chief was quite festive, and when he saw the banquet, he seemed to be very kind, and he met the God of Wealth.

Yan Xin was also interested, and asked casually: "Is there such a thing?" So you didn't get some other different tricks? ”

"That's not it, how could a person like our shopkeeper let go of such a good opportunity, there is also a gambling game on the first floor, bet on who will win between you and Miss Ning." The little two opened the window and pointed to a place full of people downstairs.

Luan'er chuckled on the side, and asked sideways: "Then the little second brother, can you participate?" ”
