Li Rushan looks like a concubine, her skin is snow-white, her facial features are exquisite, and the flamboyant demeanor in her eyes is the same, she looked Jiang Shuqi up and down, her eyes stopped for a moment on her goose yellow coagulated Huai brocade flower dress, and the corners of her lips rose.

Jiang Shuqi saw Li Rushan come to talk to her in person, remembering the smile on Concubine Shu's face towards her, she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and saluted Li Rushan Yingying, "Shuqi has seen Cousin Rushan," she raised her eyes and smiled, "Cousin's dress is really beautiful, dazzling, and it makes my cousin look like a fairy in a flower." ”

Li Rushan squinted her eyes slightly, looked directly at Jiang Shuqi, and saw that she didn't seem to be a fake, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "My cousin was about to congratulate my cousin, but I was admitted to Lanshan College this year?" ”

Jiang Shuqi couldn't help but be stunned and blinked, "Why did my cousin say this?" ”

Li Rushan stretched out her hand and slowly pointed to the people present, "The queen's mother has a Mid-Autumn Festival luncheon, and the banquet is for all the famous ladies and outstanding ladies in the house, as long as they go to school in Lanshan College, they are all invited." Aren't all the ladies present like this? ”

For a while, the nobles next to her should be in harmony, Jiang Shuqi's face couldn't help but turn blue and white, she thought that Li Rushan came to talk to her with good intentions, but she didn't expect to deliberately expose her shortcomings. She didn't do well in the Lanshan College entrance exam this year, so how could she go to Lanshan College? How did she pick up her congratulations?

Seeing this, Jiang Shuli took a small step forward and saluted Li Rushan, "Shuli has seen the third princess." The house received an invitation to the Mid-Autumn Festival luncheon of the queen's mother, and the names of our four sisters were written on it, so they all entered the palace. ”

"Oh?" Li Rushan casually swept over Jiang Shuqi's embarrassed face, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Shuli, and smiled slightly, "I thought it was my mother's kindness, and I was afraid that my cousin would not be able to enter the palace and be sad, so I added my cousin's name." It's good that this is good, although Shuqi can't enter Lanshan Academy, he can still play with his cousin. Shuqi, did you say no? ”

Jiang Shuqi gritted his teeth and pulled out a stiff smile, "That's what my cousin said." ”

Li Rushan was silent, looking at Jiang Shuqi's appearance like this, she suddenly felt bored, hooked her lips and smiled, turned around and walked away.

"It's too much!" Jiang Shuqi waited for Li Rushan to walk away, and grabbed Jiang Shuli's sleeve indignantly, "Sister, she did it on purpose!" ”

Jiang Shuli patted the back of her hand, remembering that the Ouyang clan had mentioned that her Luo clan and Concubine Shu were not on good terms, and she was hostile to Li Rushan, "Second sister, this is the palace, and you need to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

"Big sister!" Jiang Shuqi stomped his feet, "I, I'll go over there to find Xitong to play!" ”

After that, he didn't wait for Jiang Shuli to reply, turned around and left.

Jiang Shuli frowned and looked in the direction she left, Lin Xitong was Jiang Shuqi's best friend, and she was looking at this side from afar, she hesitated for a moment, and was about to go over, when she heard Jiang Shuxin say, "Eldest sister, I will go with the second sister, and Shuqing will follow the eldest sister, okay?" ”

Jiang Shuqing has never spoken, she is just a concubine in the third room, she is very timid, and leans closer to Jiang Shuli, "I follow the eldest sister." ”

Jiang Shuli bowed, "Shuxin, I'm sorry for you." ”

"How can it be troublesome?" Jiang Shuxin smiled playfully, she was happy to be able to share her eldest sister's worries, and after speaking, she turned around and followed.

"Your third sister is good," Zhan Zhirong praised and changed the subject, "Why haven't you seen Shiqing and Jiaying?" ”

"The two of them should come over together," Jiang Shuli remembered the news he heard yesterday, "It must be coming soon." ”

A few people were walking and chatting in the imperial garden, and suddenly heard a noise in the distance, and couldn't help but stop and look over.

"It's the royal brother, they're playing pitching on the other side of the lake." Li Rushan was not far from them, and her voice was a little higher, and the girls in the neighborhood heard it, and they heard it to each other, and soon the entire royal garden knew about it.

Suddenly, many girls reined in their volumes, and their expressions became shy and timid, and they quietly raised their eyes from time to time to look at the other side of the lake.

Not long after, Li Rushan sent a maid to inform the girls in the Imperial Garden to go to the Lanyue Pavilion by the lake.

The Lanyue Pavilion was extremely spacious, and more than a dozen girls went in together, but they didn't feel crowded at all, and everyone sat down on the embroidered soft stool, and the dim sum and tea had already been prepared on the square table.

Li Rushan saw that everyone had arrived, and said with a smile, "Sisters, I have the honor to get together today, and it's rare to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't we do some entertainment together?" ”

Everyone was curious, and someone said, "Third princess, what are we going to play?" ”

"It's better to play drumming and passing flowers first," Li Rushan was prepared, and picked up a delicate peony silk flower in front of the table with a smile, as big as a palm, "Whoever the silk flower falls into will do a talent show." ”

"The talent show should have a colorful head," the girl who had a good relationship with Li Rushan asked with a smile, "What good things did the third princess prepare for us?" ”

"Ordinary color heads don't mean much," Li Rushan squinted her eyes and thought about it, "If this is not the case, we will select five people by beating drums and passing flowers, and these five people will make a painting for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the works will be sent to the other side of the lake for the royal brother to judge, and the best one will be given by the imperial brother, what do you think?" ”

For a while, the girls in the Lanyue Pavilion exploded again, although they tried to maintain elegant and moderate etiquette, Li Rushan's suggestion was really exciting, and they couldn't help but muttered to their friends next to them.

Being able to be evaluated by the princes is a very rare opportunity, not to mention whether you can become a princess, even if it doesn't work, it is also tempting to be famous.

"Fortunately, Jiaying hasn't come over yet," Jiang Shuli and the others weren't too excited, and they couldn't help but tease when they looked outside the pavilion and didn't see anyone coming, "Jiaying doesn't know anything about painting, if she really draws it, she will definitely be worried." ”

"Isn't that it?" Zhan Zhirong thought about it and smiled.

The drumming and passing the flowers soon began, the palace maid blindfolded the ribbon in the middle of the pavilion to beat the drum, the peony silk flowers started from Li Rushan, one by one, in the nervous and excited shouts of the people, five rounds were carried out, and five girls were selected to participate in the painting competition.

They are Yu Shan, Qiu Xuan, Qin Qin'er, Liu Shuang and Jiang Shuqi.

Jiang Shuqi frowned, except for her and Jiang Shuqing, all the girls present were disciples of Lanshan Academy. The four opponents who participated in the painting competition were all disciples of the women's class of Xiyang Academy, and everyone was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was not even admitted to Lanshan Academy, so how could she be their opponents?

Wouldn't it be a shame to send the works back to the princes for evaluation?

It's just that she can't find someone to paint on her behalf in front of everyone, so she really has to bite the bullet? Jiang Shuqi glanced at the other side of the crowd, she was unwilling, she also wanted to have a good reputation and even marry into the royal family, how could it be ruined so plainly?

Lowering his eyes and turning, Jiang Shuqi suddenly sighed, "Cousin, Shuqi sprained his wrist a few days ago and couldn't participate in the competition, I'm really sorry." I also ask for my cousin's understanding. ”

When Li Rushan heard this, her eyes flashed, and she made a distressed expression and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier when my cousin's wrist was injured?" I can't participate in the competition, how can my cousin be willing? My cousin then ordered someone to ask the doctor to come and treat you. ”
