Chapter 42: The Prince Travels to the Emerald Pavilion (2)
Shangguan Lihua saw that Xuanyuan Yuling was like this, and he couldn't, so he could only follow him towards the Jade Pavilion step by step.
When they walked into the Emerald Pavilion, they saw what kind of activities were being held in the Emerald Pavilion, and the Emerald Pavilion, which usually only enters except for the rich and noble, is full of people today. Prince Xuanyuan Yuling stepped forward to inquire, only to know that today's Jade Pavilion hung a couplet at the door, threatening that if he could fight in public today, he would select an object from the Jade Pavilion for free, regardless of its value, only as a reward. It is said that the owner behind this Jade Pavilion has a couplet, but no one can do it, so he specially set up this rule.
When Shangguan Lihua heard this, his heart moved, and he obviously wanted to step forward to take a look at this so-called absolute. You must know that the objects in this Jade Pavilion, if you take them out casually, they are worth a thousand gold, not to mention that they can choose one thing at will. can have this kind of self-confidence, no one can match the absolute, she Shangguan Lihua is willing to give it a try. I saw her step forward lightly, and saw a couplet standing in front of the door of the Jade Pavilion, saying: One lonely boat, two merchants, three, four, five or six sailors, pulling up the seven or eight leaf wind canopy, down the nine rivers, and ten miles.
"Good union!" Shangguan Lihua secretly praised in his heart. I can't imagine that the owner behind this Jade Pavilion can have such a talent, but I don't know if this couplet is definitely made by the owner behind this Jade Pavilion or where he got it.
Seeing Shangguan Lihua like this, Xuanyuan Yuling thought that Shangguan Lihua wanted to participate in it, so he asked, "Miss Shangguan can you have the heart to give it a try?" Ling saw that the eldest lady seemed to be confident, but could she make the next link? ”
Shangguan Lihua heard Xuanyuan Yuling's words, and hurriedly put away his thoughts and replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he laughed, Shangguan Lihua just felt that this coupling was absolute, and it could be called a well-deserved eternity absolute. Although Shangguan Lihua has a small success, he never thought of participating in it. After speaking, he shook his head slightly, not wanting to participate at all.
In fact, Shangguan Lihua is not modest, she really has no intention of wanting to participate in this pair, first, she has no idea how to show her talent here. Second, she didn't think about choosing a set of jewelry for free in this Jade Pavilion.
However, she was right to think so, but Xuanyuan Yuling heard Shangguan Lihua's words, but she thought that Shangguan Lihua couldn't say it for a while, but she couldn't speak out, so she said these words to explain, and it would not damage her reputation for talent outside. And if he has the heart to please her, he naturally won't want to demolish Shangguan Lihua, so he won't say anything anymore.
has the same idea as Prince Xuanyuan Yuling, and also thinks that Shangguan Lihua can't be absolute, but he doesn't dare to say it bluntly and pretends to be 'nothing to do with himself', and Shangguan Qihua.
From the moment His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Yuling and Shangguan Lihua walked into this Jade Pavilion, Shangguan Qihua has been staring at the two of them, seeing that Shangguan Lihua and Prince Xuanyuan Yuling have not noticed her, her heart has dropped a little at once.
It is also interesting to say that this Jade Pavilion can also be said to be the largest jewelry shop in the entire Jinling City, and the treasures in it are sometimes not necessarily found by the royal family. It is said that this jade pavilion suddenly rose overnight, and won the most of the many jewelry shops in Jinling City in one fell swoop with lightning speed. Shangguan Lihua had heard of it in his last life, and this Jade Pavilion had branches in several major cities of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and it had achieved remarkable results.
Today, this Shangguan Qihua finally begged his father to agree that he and several other concubines could go to this jade pavilion to pick out a set of jewelry and wear it when attending Princess An's birthday banquet in a few days. The original Shangguan Qihua came to the Jade Pavilion with a good mood, after all, he didn't have much opportunity to ask his father to buy the treasures of the Jade Pavilion.
However, when she arrived at the Jade Pavilion, she saw the absolute in front of the Jade Pavilion, and anyone who could neatly match this joint could enter the store and choose a set of jewelry at will, Shangguan Qihua was even more moved.
As soon as she wanted to take a try, she heard what Prince Xuanyuan Yuling said to Shangguan Lihua, and there was a burst of unwillingness and jealousy in her heart. Shangguan Linhua and Shangguan Xuehua, who were on the side, did not speak, but looked coldly at Shangguan Qihua's face changing and changing.
At this time, Shangguan Qihua shook her head when she saw Shangguan Lihua, saying that she really didn't want to participate in the couplet, so she also thought that Shangguan Lihua couldn't come out like everyone else at all, so her mind sank, and she said a little gloomy: "Sister Li and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also heard that this Jade Pavilion is out of the absolute today, and they also want to come here to try the depth?" ”
Shangguan Qihua's voice was actually not loud, but it was exactly the same, so that everyone around him could hear it clearly.
No, after listening to Shangguan Qihua's words, everyone wondered in their hearts, this Shangguan Qihua called 'Sister Li' and 'Sister Li', which lady in the house deserves this test.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qihua knew that she had obtained the effect she expected, so he continued again, "Sister Li's name of 'Jinling's No. 1 Beauty' and 'Jinling's No. 1 Talented Woman', who else in this entire Jinling City doesn't know, who doesn't know?" You are the pearl of the Dingguo Mansion, your talent and knowledge are not bad, my sister wants to come to this little absolute, it must be difficult for Sister Li, right? After Shangguan Qihua finished speaking, he also offered a treasure to Shangguan Lihua to ask for credit. I don't know, I thought that Shangguan Qihua and Shangguan Lihua had a good relationship, but Shangguan Lihua knew that Shangguan Qihua was not as simple as it seemed.
No, as soon as she explained this, everyone suddenly realized. It turned out that the sister Li in Shangguan Qihua's mouth was the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion, Shangguan Lihua. Everyone thought of the appearance of heaven and man on Beichen Mountain, and remembered the name of 'Jinling's first talented woman' that has been rumored all along, and thought that Shangguan Lihua must be talented.
It is said that this Miss Shangguan doesn't show up much on weekdays, and everyone has never met her on the street, but today she saw it at the door of this Jade Pavilion, maybe she really has the heart to give it a try.
Where in Shangguan Lihua's heart could he not understand Shangguan Qihua's thoughts when he said this to everyone and himself. If she Shangguan Lihua can't come to this Jade Pavilion today, she estimates that tomorrow the entire Jinling City will be full of legends, and her Shangguan Lihua, as the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion, bears the title of 'the first talented woman in Jinling City', but she is a person who has no real talent and fame.
When the time comes, don't say anything about the reputation of 'the first talented woman in Jinling City', it's still good for her to go out and not be thrown rotten eggs.
Obviously, Xuanyuan Yuling was also frightened by Shangguan Qihua's words, and he naturally heard Shangguan Qihua's voice, but before he had time to respond, he could hear Shangguan Lihua say: "Everyone in the Dingguo Mansion privately discussed that Shangguan Lihua's preference for Sister Qi is better than that of her own mother's compatriots, and now Sister Qi is like a roundworm in Lihua's stomach, and she knows herself better than Lihua herself, why do you say that Lihua doesn't prefer Sister Qi?" ”
