Chapter Twenty-Seven: Pushing You to the Stage
Wu Jing was born to Liu Yunyun's cousin He Li, and is also the eldest daughter of Wu Hao, a loyal and brave uncle, and He Yuan is a cousin relationship, and the relationship with He Yuan is not bad on weekdays, but although this Wu Jing looks very clear and beautiful, and looks very smart, she is too rigid and regular in her bones, and her mother He Li is very imaginative, and some are too conformist. Today, Wu Jing and Liu Yi's sister-in-law, that is, Liu Chengxiang's daughter-in-law, Liu Yinxiao, found the Taishan stone carving piano all the way.
There is a charcoal pot burning in the Baihua Pavilion, although the little ladies of each province are scattered seats, but this lake pavilion is still a little stuffy.
Liu Yinxiao didn't know that his younger brother had just done such a ridiculous thing, and when he saw He Yuan's eyes lit up, he stood up from his seat very happily, stepped forward to say hello, and said excitedly: "Sister Yuanyuan, where have you been?" Why did it take so long to come over? Seeing Chang Qingfan and Liu Yunyun beside He Yuan, he said hello to Chang Qingfan in a friendly manner, and then stared at Liu Yunyun with curious Danfeng eyes, this little girl is really good-looking, Liu Yinxiao has never felt that the delicate and ethereal beauty of women popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty is anything good-looking, and she feels that women look like that, very pretentious, and have no sense of agility and liveliness.
Liu Yunyun was inexplicably surprised by her, and looked at her curiously with cat eyes. He Yuan saw the two of them looking at each other, and wanted to laugh even more in his heart, if Liu Yinxiao knew that Liu Yunyun had bullied her precious brother just now, I don't know if she would deeply realize that people can't look good, and the river can't be measured. Liu Yinxiao affectionately held He Yuan's arm, looked at He Yuan, and pointed to Liu Yunyun and asked, "Sister Yuanyuan, which house is this little sister from?" You don't want to tell us about it? He Yuan was very "generous" and introduced the two to each other. Liu Yunyun feels that this Liu Yinxiao is really different from that demon Liu Yi in terms of personality, but if you look closely, the Danfeng eyes of the two are really worthy of being sisters and brothers.
After Liu Yunyun and Liu Yinxiao greeted each other, Liu Yinxiao saw He Yuan's hands empty, stared at him and pouted, "You haven't found anything?" Wu Jing saw Liu Yunyun and nodded silently to say hello. He Yuan was not angry with Liu Yinxiao, and affectionately took her arm and walked to Wu Jing's side, and said with a smile: "What treasure have you found?" Show me. ”
Chang Qingfan was not familiar with these girls, and Liu Yunyun was also a newcomer who had just entered the circle of noble girls, so naturally she would not move forward, so the two of them found a corner by the window in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and sat down, chatting in a low voice.
The eldest princess glanced at Liu Yunyun and didn't look at her again. Fang Renshan had to stay by the eldest princess's side all the time, and smiled helplessly at Liu Yunyun to apologize, and Liu Yunyun waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
Cao Taishi's eldest daughter, Cao Xianxian, wore a bright yellow and rich peony skirt today, with a red gown, which looked magnificent and bright. Sitting on the east side of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, he was at a table with Wu Manyu, the niece of the virtuous concubine of the General's Mansion and the daughter of the Wudu Captain. Liu Yunyun glanced at her dress a few times, and secretly wondered if she really wanted to marry the eldest prince as a concubine? It's just that this will hasn't been issued yet, so I can't wait to put on all the bright yellow colors of the royal family, isn't it a little too anxious? Liu Yunyun glanced at the eldest princess of Shaoyang with great interest, and as expected, the eldest princess had a look of disdain.
Liu Yunyun pondered with regret, no matter how hard this parent tried to work hard for the child's future, and did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, he couldn't stand this child's unappreciation.
Fang Renshan saw that everyone had arrived, so he stood up from his seat and clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said with a smile: "Several treasures have been found by everyone today, especially the group of Miss Cao and Miss Wu, who found the Fengfei Nine Heavenly Sword and the group of Miss Wu and Miss Liu, found the lone copy of Taoyuan Layman's "Meditation Record" the fastest. After a while, they can give priority to writing. Everyone's okay, right? ”
Cao Xianxian and Wu Manyu chatted with each other, with an absent-minded look, and when they heard Fang Renshan's words, they turned their heads to look at Fang Renshan and asked, "Miss Fang, is this person not here yet?" Wu Manyu obviously looked gloating, and looked at Fang Renshan with bright eyes. When the eldest princess heard this, she was angry. She couldn't get Lu Fangfei's advantage just now. Said impatiently: "Why didn't you arrive?" It's all there, it's all there! Looking up at Fang Renshan, who was standing, he ordered, "Let's start quickly." I also want to appreciate the poetry of the talented women in Jinjing. ”
Fang Renshan curtsied at the eldest princess and nodded. Then he instructed the little girls who were waiting in the Baihua Pavilion to put a long case in the center of the Baihua Pavilion room, and some girls entered one after another, and put down the four treasures of the study room such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the long case.
Cao Xian glanced at the eldest princess angrily, and then turned her head away and stopped looking at her, but her eyes were full of resentment. Although she sat straight and square, showing her graceful posture, her hands clasped in front of her were vigorously rubbing the bright yellow gold silk phoenix handkerchief that matched her clothes today. Liu Yunyun sat in the corner, paying attention to Cao Xianxian who was sitting diagonally opposite her, seeing her like this, she was very suspicious of the eyes of the virtuous concubine in the palace who was very flamboyant. If it is really as the plan of Concubine Xian, the eldest prince will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, how can such a person be the queen of a country? Grandfather really didn't read it wrong, this virtuous concubine is a crooked-necked tree, although the branches are flourishing, but they all think they are strong, but in fact, the inside has long been eaten by the insects of desire.
Cao Xianxian was originally dressed up today, just to give Lu Fangfei a dismount, don't think that with the support of the virtuous concubine, she can easily marry into the Great Prince's Mansion, she is the most suitable candidate for the eldest princess in the emperor's heart, whether it is wisdom, wisdom or talent, she will not lose to anyone. It's just that today I saw Lu Fangfei arrive at the Fang Mansion, why didn't she show up? It must be this Shaoyang princess who used some trick to sabotage her plan.
The eldest princess looked at Cao Xianxian's dress with disdain, and felt a little relieved in her heart, although the plan did not succeed, but it still made Cao Xianxian's plan fall through, looking at her like this, the eldest princess was in a much better mood. Sitting leisurely in the pavilion, his tone was no longer impatient, he glanced at the people in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion with a smile, and then looked at Cao Xianxian with fixed eyes, and said very cheerfully: "Then Miss Cao will come first, but let's change the rules today." His eyes turned around brightly, and with a smile that he was watching a good show, he looked at Wu Jing and said: "This new rule is that I will say one word first, and everyone will use this word to write poems, but this poem must contain this word." After a slight pause, he continued unhurriedly: "The person who wins the first place will get a plaque of 'Xiuwai Huizhong' inscribed by my father's imperial pen." ”
The eyes of all the ladies lit up at once, and they all straightened up and sat up straight. This is the emperor's imperial pen, get this plaque, no matter where you go in the future, you are a talented woman who has been recognized by the emperor, and the reputation of the most valuable daughter in Jinjing is nothing more than that. The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, looked at Cao Xianxian with a gloating smile, and said, "Do you understand?" So start now? Well...... Which word to choose? The eldest princess dragged her chin with one hand, looked out the window, blinked, as if she thought of something, straightened up, clapped her hands with both hands, and said excitedly: "It's sunny today, so use the word 'sunny'." After speaking, she turned her head to look at Fang Renshan who was sitting beside her.
Fang Renshan nodded, stood up, stretched out her inviting hand to Cao Xianxian, and said, "Then Miss Cao will invite you first." Cao Xianxian glared at Fang Renshan fiercely with angry eyes, raised her chin arrogantly, stood up, and walked towards the long case in the middle of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion with a graceful and luxurious attitude. A gorgeous dress is slightly mopping the floor, and it is really a peacock standing on the honeycomb coal, with holes in the holes. Liu Yunyun secretly wondered, this Cao Xianxian and the eldest princess don't like each other, maybe it's because both of them are peacocks, tsundere vs. tsundere, who can win? Liu Yunyun also watched a good show. I wonder if this child's play can be as lively and sensational as I thought?
"A clump of cold chrysanthemums is more than Qionghua, covering the green veil of the sunny window. At first glance, I feel that the slightly fragrant greenhouse is really beautiful. Cao Xianxian waved her hand and splashed ink, a song "Appreciating Chrysanthemums" was completed overnight, and the little girl who was waiting for the pen and ink next to her saw that she finished writing, picked up the rice paper, dried it slightly, and handed it to Fang Renshan with both hands, Fang Renshan took it and looked at it, her face was slightly embarrassed, and she handed the poem to the eldest princess. The eldest princess read the poem, glanced at Cao Xianxian with hatred, and reluctantly let the girl recite it aloud.
After listening to the poem, Liu Yunyun couldn't help but glance at Cao Xianxian, this duel is interesting, I didn't expect this Cao Xianxian to be quite powerful in terms of knowledge, and it is estimated that the long face of the eldest princess will be pulled for a while. Wu Jing has been sitting silently, and there is a trace of eagerness on her meticulous face, Liu Yinxiao doesn't care so much, she walked to the long case with great interest, bowed to the eldest princess, straightened up and said, "It's my turn." He turned around and looked at Wu Jing, who was sitting quietly, and said, "Sister Wu, I'll come first." Wu Jing had no choice but to nod.
After a while, the nobles of several provinces gave poems, and the Baihua Pavilion was filled with the voices of girls commenting on poems.
Liu Yunyun is still eating snacks with Chang Qingfan, drinking tea and chatting about the day, completely looking like an outsider.
