Chapter 67: The Pot Descends from the Sky
Lu Anjin immediately lowered his head, eating the delicate pastries in front of him casually, consciously blocking all harassment signals, just seeking a quiet place for himself.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In the midst of the rivers and lakes, strife is inevitable.
Moreover, whether it is Fu Fan or Lantai Gongzi, she is not interested.
Because in her heart, she already has a hero who stands up to the sky.
And this hero is more courageous than a tiger, but his heart and eyes are smaller than the tip of a needle, and he especially likes to drink vinegar!
In order for the two to live together harmoniously and lovingly, she decided to keep a one-foot distance from the handsome man!
Lin Yuwen has always boasted of being romantic, and he pities the most fragrant jade.
He smiled with his eyebrows, and his slender peach blossom eyes looked around, looking at him and evaluating himself secretly.
As a result, in the most inconspicuous corner, he saw the beautiful woman he longed for.
He was very surprised, snapped away the folding fan, stared at Lu Anjin with smart eyes, and stubbornly refused to let go of her every move.
Xu is gaze was too hot, Lu Anjin felt like a mang on her back, she raised her head lazily, and met a pair of eyes full of predation.
It's him!
Lu Anjin's impression of Lin Yuwen was really not good, so she didn't even bother to give charity with a look, decisively ignored his overtures, and enjoyed the fun of food by herself.
How dare you ignore him? The corners of Lin Yuwen's lips were slightly hooked, and he secretly rejoiced, he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them.
Last time, a Cheng Biting Jin popped up in the middle of the road, and this time, he definitely wouldn't let her escape again.
"The emperor has arrived~"
The eunuch's shrill and high voice resounded throughout the hall, and everyone in the hall knelt respectfully and shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
"Flat."
The emperor's face, which has always been straightforward, is rarely full of smiles, "Everyone here is the pillars of my Eastern Qi country, today is a delicate feast, everyone don't have to be restrained, just be casual." β
"Wechen (courtiers) obey the order."
The emperor spoke, and the exquisite feast officially began. This was followed by a traditional talent show.
Whether it is a genius or a beauty, they all use eighteen kinds of martial arts, just to seek a head, and then be able to enter the eyes of the person they like.
You sang and I went on stage, and for a while, it was so lively.
However, Lu Anjin is still fighting at the forefront of foodies, and there is nothing left in his beautiful eyes except for the eight treasures and jade food in front of him.
As for those light songs and dances, Yan muscles and willow bones, and beads falling on jade plates, she enjoyed two or three songs, and she felt that she was lacking in interest.
The first one is amazing; The second, not bad; The third is extremely boring!
ClichΓ©s, the same, the same, all the same.
Only by seeking new and different things can things have vitality. Because innovation needs to break the stereotype and break the tradition.
But it takes a lot of courage and wisdom.
It's just that these days' proud sons and daughters don't bother to spend this brain, and their performances are repeated over and over again, with a lot of tricks, but they don't change the soup without changing the medicine.
Boring! It's really boring!
Qi Xiaoyun glanced at Lu Anjin openly, and saw that she was eating pastries without a match, and knew that she was sleepy.
Suddenly, he was keenly aware of a malicious gaze, he half-squinted his eyes, turned around, and saw Lin Yuwen's undisguised imperativeness.
Lin Yuwen noticed Qi Xiaoyun's gaze, he looked back, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Dongqi is really an outstanding person, and he has made every talent, I don't know if the prince has a favorite person?" β
"This king just saw that the prince was restless, but what discomfort is there?"
Lin Yuwen smiled suavely, "Lord Lao is worried, Xiao Wang is fine." I just saw a delicate flower with thorns, Xiao Wang liked it very much, and was thinking about how to pick it back home. β
Qi Xiaoyun said expressionlessly: "If the prince really likes it, why would he compromise her beauty, and silently care for her and appreciate her, wouldn't it be better?" β
Lin Yuwen's eyebrows moved, and he always felt that he meant something.
He still wanted to say something, but Qi Xiaoyun had already turned his head and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
Lin Yuwen only felt inexplicable, Qi Xiaoyun had always been a high-minded person who had nothing to do with himself, and today he chatted with him for the first time on such a topic.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
However, Qi Xiaoyun is no different from usual at the moment, perhaps, he is thinking too much.
The talent show was coming to an end, and Lu Anjin was yawning again and again, and the sleepy tears were rolling mischievously in his eyes.
She only hopes that the banquet can end early, so that she can go back to make up for sleep, play chess with Zhou Gong, chat, and talk about the great ideals of life.
However, although she has repeatedly emphasized that she should be low-key, some people want to create opportunities for her to applaud and scream.
Lin Yuwen stood up suddenly, saluted the emperor respectfully, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang heard that the first beauty in the capital is beautiful and beautiful, and her color and art are unparalleled. I don't know if Xiao Wang is lucky to watch one or two today. β
The Emperor was interested, "Oh? I don't know who the first beauty in the capital is. β
The ladies of the boudoir present all bowed their noble heads shyly. Only Lu Anjin is like a chicken pecking rice.
"Dongqi has many talents, and the talented and beautiful people present are all talented, which makes Xiao Wang admire."
Princess Hui'an pursed her lips slightly, thinking that her imperial brother's ability to talk about people and talk about ghosts has become more and more perfect.
"Why should King Ding be humble, Princess Hui'an is talented and beautiful, and she is a rare talented woman."
When Princess Hui'an heard this, she stood up and saluted, "Thank you Your Majesty for your compliment, Hui'an is ashamed." β
After speaking, she secretly glanced at Qi Xiaoyun, and saw that he was sitting in a precarious position, not squinting, and did not give her half a glance at all.
Her heart ached, and she sat back with a pale face, and said no more.
"Hui'an is the first beauty in my Xilin, Xiao Wang had a whim, I want these two beauties to have a try to see which beauty is more beautiful. I don't know if Your Majesty can allow it? β
The emperor laughed loudly and said, "It's a good idea to set the king, it's just that I want to know, who is the first beauty in my Eastern Qi?" β
Fang Cai is still the first beauty in Beijing, but in three or two sentences, she was promoted to the first beauty in Dongqi.
The competitive hearts of all the ladies are ready to move, and they are full of energy, and they all want to win this crown!
Lin Yuwen turned around suddenly, looked straight at the woman whose head was about to hit the table, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang heard that Lu Anjin, the daughter of the original household secretary, is talented and beautiful, quiet and virtuous, I wonder if Xiao Wang will have the honor to see the fairy today?" β
His words instantly turned the obscure little transparent into a thorn in everyone's eyes.
Lu Anjin has become the target of everyone so inexplicably, it can really be said that the pot fell from the sky!
Qi Xiaoyun's thick eyebrows raised slightly, he picked up the wine glass, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, gently shook the wine in the glass, and there was an indescribable depth in his eyes.
"Oh?" The emperor smiled at Yan Yan, "Where is Lu Anjin?" β
Lu Anjin was still one step away from throwing herself into the arms of Duke Zhou at this time, her consciousness was hazy, and she didn't hear the emperor's call at all.
The emperor waited for two breaths, but did not hear a response, and his bright handsome face immediately had the potential of black clouds crushing the city.
The girl in yellow sitting next to her couldn't help but push her arm, and Lu Anjin woke up suddenly, looking at her in puzzlement.
"Your Majesty called you."
Lu Anjin was taken aback, quickly tidied up her dress, smiled sincerely at the girl in yellow, and walked generously to the center of the hall this time.
She bowed respectfully, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The courtiers listened to the fairy music in the world, and couldn't help but be immersed in it, and it was difficult to come back to their senses for a while, and I asked Your Majesty to forgive her sins." β
The emperor came down the steps, "Jing Ning, it seems that your piano skills have improved a lot." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
The county lord of Jingning glanced at Lu Anjin arrogantly, just like this, he wants to become the first beauty in Eastern Qi?
Phew!
Lu Anjin felt a deep hostility. The jealous, hateful, and malicious gazes locked on her back from all sides.
However, being low-key does not mean that she does not have a temper to bully, and kindness does not mean that she is cowardly and allowed to be bullied.
"Your Majesty, Jing Ning wants to have a try with Miss Lu today to see if this No. 1 beauty in Eastern Qi deserves her name."
The Emperor nodded his head in agreement.
Lu Anjin sighed helplessly, was she the first beauty in Dongqi self-proclaimed? Did she admit it? Why does someone else have to put the hat on her head!
She is not wronged!
Also, why are these people always so self-righteous, if they want to compete, she must be accompanied?
"Miss Lu, what do you want to compare?"
"County Lord, please speak."
Jing Ning saw her look submissive, and sneered: "Since His Royal Highness King Fang Caiding said that you are both talented and beautiful, then let's take turns to compete in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." β
"Since the county lord has this Yaxing, the courtiers have no choice but to accompany them."
As soon as the words fell, I saw the eunuch carefully carrying two guqins up.
Lu Anjin praised: "Good piano! β
Jing Ning saw that she seemed to be a hillbilly who had never seen the world, and she was more and more disdainful of her.
"Who's coming first?"
Lu Anjin said humbly, "The county lord pleases first." β
Jing Ning is not polite, plucking the strings lightly with his hands, the sound of the piano is lingering and compassionate, like a mountain spring winding from the valley, and the spring water flowing slowly is pleasant.
Although Jing Ning is a little arrogant, she does have arrogant capital.
At the end of the song, Lu Anjin praised sincerely, "It's really this song that should only be in the sky, how many times can I hear it in the world." The county lord is very good at the piano, and the courtiers admire it! β
Jing Ning snorted coldly, full of arrogance, "It's your turn." β
Lu Anjin spread his hands and said very innocently, "There is no need to compete, the courtiers are willing to bow down!" β
The hall was in an uproar, they didn't expect that Lu Anjinqin didn't touch it, and directly admitted defeat.
The corners of the emperor's mouth couldn't help twitching, but as noble as him, he chose not to interfere.
Lu Anjin's admission of defeat did not make Jing Ning feel the slightest joy, on the contrary, she felt that she was despised by Lu Anjin.
"What do you mean!" She roared angrily, "Look down on this county lord? β
Lu Anjin pretended to be surprised and said, "How could the county lord think so, the courtiers were purely impressed by the county lord's superb piano skills, and had no other intentions. β
She said so, but Jing Ning saw the slightest hint of provocation in the depths of her eyes.
"This county lord will not allow you to admit defeat like this!"
In this way, even if it wins, it is not very glorious, and it is not worth jubiling.
Can't admit defeat?
Lu Anjin was very helpless, "County Lord, the courtiers can't play the tenderness you expressed, so don't make it difficult for you." β
"Then you can play, you will play!"
It's really unforgiving. Lu Anjin glanced at Qi Xiaoyun, and sure enough, she saw that the person was looking at her with a smile in his eyes, full of ridicule!
Hmph, I actually have the leisure to watch her jokes, and see how she will clean him up when she goes back later.
"Since the county lord insists on this, then the courtier will sacrifice her life to accompany the beauty."
