Chapter 077: Painting in the First Scene
Flutter!
Fu Yuanyuan was really amused by Yinbao's eagerness now.
Hurriedly covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and raised his eyes to look at the two teams that were clearly distinguished.
Fu Yuanqing and Fu Yuanhua are in Hui Guifei's team, and the people Fu Yuanyuan knows in that team are also Lord Birou and He Yan.
Tong Lu and Chang Xishu stood in the queen's team, and Peng Yuemei, who had provoked her.
Fu Yuanyuan looked at the faces rather playfully, thinking that Concubine Hui's proposal this time had really greatly reduced the number of candidates for the competition.
Originally, many of the ladies and concubines in the house were ready to participate in the competition at the same time, but now they are divided into two teams, and only the most talented ladies in one house are generally allowed to participate in the competition.
If you don't have some real skills, then you don't dare to participate easily, in case you lose and make the girls unhappy, you are doing bad things with good intentions.
It was because of the two noble girls who didn't want the queen's team to make up the number, and they were all included in the list after they were convicted first.
With such an interesting competition, she suddenly wanted to join in the fun.
Fu Yuanyuan stepped forward slowly, ignoring the scrutiny of many people, and walked to the middle of the queen's team.
Fu Yuanhua frowned: Why did the second sister go over there? Don't you know that the Pingguo Mansion and Concubine Hui have an in-law relationship?
Fu Yuanqing's face sank slightly, worried that Concubine Hui would not like it.
Tong Lu and Chang Xishu saw Fu Yuanyuan passing, and grabbed her with a look of surprise.
When the queen saw it, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth shallowly.
"Now that we're all together, why don't we start as soon as possible?" Concubine Hui didn't have any special feelings about Fu Yuanyuan, but she couldn't wait to see how the queen lost and lost.
"The first scene is painting, why don't you let my sister do the question first?"
The queen bowed her head unhurriedly, and her eyes skimmed over the four noblewomen who had already been listed.
Because of the redundancy of Hui Guifei's team, the county lord of Birou took the initiative to take over the management work and selected the two nobles with the best painting to participate in the competition.
The queen's procession consisted of Chang Xishu and a noblewoman.
The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's just paint with the theme of 'childish'." ”
Childish?
Concubine Hui resisted the urge to rub her ears, and her bright eyes swept over Chang Xishu's body.
The queen's question must be biased towards Chang Xi's book, thinking of Chang Xi's painting of dystocia, Hui Guifei suddenly felt that she couldn't see through the queen's meaning.
Although Chang Mansion has added a new baby, Chang Xishu has no sister.
It is said that the Chang Xishu sisters are very affectionate, and it is not certain whether the queen is helping or helping the queen in such a question.
Thinking of this, Concubine Hui pulled the corners of her mouth invisibly and did not object.
He Yan and the other two nobles couldn't help but secretly complain.
In previous years, the paintings at the elite banquet were either based on scenery or flowers and plants, which were often used by nobles for painting.
With the theme of 'childish', it is too much of a test for Yunying's unmarried nobles.
He Yan looked at Chang Xishu, who had a quiet gaze, and was indignant that the queen was so blatantly partial.
Who doesn't know that Chang Xishu's sister-in-law just gave birth to a child?
Painting with 'childishness', I am afraid that no one has the unique advantage of Chang Xishu.
His eyes darkened slightly, and He Yan immediately snorted coldly.
She doesn't believe that Chang Xishu won't think of her late sister-in-law!
Thinking of her sister-in-law, can she still paint quietly?
She didn't believe it!
The four nobles walked in unison to the direction of the drawing board prepared by the palace maid, and He Yan deliberately took a step slow, followed behind Chang Xishu and whispered: "Xishu has to paint the childish child born to your 'sister' today?" ”
She deliberately bit the word sister very hard, looked at Chang Xishu's instantly stiff back mockingly, and walked to her place with a smile.
The four competitions of calligraphy and painting of the elite banquet start with painting, followed by calligraphy, chess, and playing the piano at the end.
Because it takes time to paint, with the palace maid watching, everyone's minds returned to the second competition.
"In the second calligraphy, Hui Guifei Niangniang will personally write the question."
The queen mother's gaze was withdrawn from Chang Xishu, and she looked at Hui Guifei with a smile.
Hui Guifei is self-reliant.
She clapped her hands lightly, and two palace maids walked up with a palace maid box.
Concubine Hui's red lips opened lightly: "This palace got a famous product a few days ago, and I am very happy." Today's calligraphy title invites you to copy this famous work on the spot. ”
As the words fell, the palace maid carefully unfolded the text panel, and everyone looked up.
"It is the work of Wang Yuanzhi, a master of calligraphy in the previous dynasty."
Hui Guifei glanced at the four noble girls who participated in the calligraphy competition with a smile, and when her eyes fell on Fu Yuanhua, her eyes were full of meaning.
Fu Yuanhua couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
Calligraphy is her strong point, especially copying Wang Yuanzhi's characters.
Last time at the birthday banquet of the old lady of Zhenguo, she had shown her talent in this area, and she didn't want Hui Guifei to use this question today.
Could it be that Concubine Hui was deeply impressed by her, so she deliberately favored her?
Or, did the second prince praise her in front of Concubine Hui?
Thinking of the second prince's eyes full of praise when he looked at her that day, Fu Yuanhua suddenly felt excited in his heart.
She must get the first place today!
Fu Yuanqing, who was not far away, saw all this in her eyes, and also evoked the memories of the most embarrassing Zhenguo Mansion in her life.
She looked at the smile in Concubine Hui's eyes at Fu Yuanhua with complicated eyes.
It was supposed to be hers.
It doesn't matter, today's piano competition, she will definitely impress Hui Guifei.
The next step is to play chess against each other.
The way of playing chess is simple, the two teams of noble ladies draw lots to select opponents for the first round of competition, and then the two winners play against each other to determine the first and second places.
As for the third and fourth places, there will be no more competitions, because only eight members will be elected to the elite banquet every year, two each for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The first three competitions were carried out smoothly, and many of the ladies and ladies in the field got up and walked to the interesting competition area to watch.
There are a lot of people, but they are very quiet.
On this occasion, anyone knows that if you talk and disturb the competition, you will not only offend the noble girls who are participating in the competition, but also leave a bad impression in the hearts of the ladies in the palace.
"Girl, who do you think will win this time?" Fu Yuanyuan walked out of the queue to watch the battle, and Yinbao floated over deftly, muttering in her ear.
He Yan saw Chang Xishu-for-tat every time he saw it, and Yinbao had already deeply realized the tension between the two, and was full of expectations for this competition.
"Do you need to ask? It must be a bad book. ”
Fu Yuanyuan recalled the appearance of Chang Xishu holding the doll, and sighed in his heart, the queen mother is very clear about her niece, and this obvious bias will definitely allow Chang Xishu to win the championship.
In fact, even if you don't do partiality, Chang Xishu may not lose.
How do she look at Heyan's human eyes are about the same size as the eye of a needle, even if such a character is talented, it is estimated that he will not go far.
Fu Yuanyuan thinks that she has always been discerning, and the things she sees are rarely eye-catching.
And as soon as Chang Xishu's work was revealed in front of everyone, it really confirmed Fu Yuanyuan's vision.
In the midst of many exclamations, Fu Yuanyuan, who was originally honored and honored, carefully admired the paintings, but his heart jumped suddenly.
