Chapter Eighty-Five: The Ladies Compete for Beauty

The carriage stopped outside the palace, everyone got out of the car, walked to the gate of the palace, and then the little eunuch checked the signs in turn, and the palace maid who was waiting inside was assigned to lead the palace to the lake where ice frolicking was prepared.

Baozhi and Tang's mother and daughter were guided forward by a grandmother, and Midsummer rushed over from afar, took the place of the grandmother, and led them to Queen Wei.

"The queen has been talking to you, asking the slave to come and wait, and when you arrive, she will lead you to Linhua Palace." Midsummer said to Wang as he walked.

Wang hurriedly confessed.

Therefore, it is a palace, although it is not as large and solemn as the palace, but it is a step and a scene, it is a cold winter at this time, and all kinds of silk flowers are tied on the branches, and it is more beautiful than the flowers in spring.

There were already a few ladies sitting in the Linhua Palace, although there were many people, there was no noise, Baozhi went in with the Wang family, saluted Queen Wei, and after getting up, raised his eyes slightly.

In the hall, there are Concubine Xian, the eldest princess of Roufu, Mrs. Zhongyihou, and three ladies who are born in the face, everyone is dressed according to the quality, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and behind them stand Tang Wan, Wei Mingyue and Xie Yun, and Sister Luohua is also among them.

I think these three ladies are Mrs. Zhenxihou, Mrs. Qingchang Hou and Mrs. An Fuhou.

"Today is really a blessing for the emperor, and this palace can be so lively here." Empress Wei said with a smile on her face.

Then he smiled and asked the belated Wang: "Your old lady is still tough?" ”

Wang said: "Lao Niangniang is worried, my mother-in-law is in good health, if it weren't for the cold, she would have come to you to say goodbye." ”

Mrs. Zhenxi Hou's face was a little unbearable, although Mrs. Tang was a stepmother, but in the end it was also her mother-in-law, she had been here for so long, the queen had never asked, as soon as the Wang family arrived, the mother asked if they were dissatisfied with not leaving Mrs. Tang in the old mansion.

"Mother, she always talks about her youth and Duchess An Guo at home."

Empress Wei smiled when she heard this: "Yes." ”

Empress Wei didn't want to say much to Mrs. Zhenxihou, so she turned her eyes to Baozhi and called forward.

"Good boy, come here, I'll see." looked at Baozhi and said kindly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm taller, and I'm getting more and more handsome." ”

Concubine Xian said: "This kid won't come back as soon as he leaves, but he thinks badly of our Yongning." ”

Everyone laughed, and Baozhi was a little embarrassed to be scrutinized by so many pairs of eyes, either curiously or contemptuously.

Empress Wei's face turned red when she saw Baozhi, and she no longer pulled her: "Okay, you guys go down to play, Yongning is afraid that you are in a hurry." ”

As soon as he went out, Tang whispered to Baozhi: "My eldest aunt, I am so shameless, please don't go, where did I hear my grandmother talking." ”

In the matter of the Tang family, Baozhi is still inconvenient to express his opinions, and Tang didn't think she would answer. It's just whining.

Yongning was in the warm pavilion not far from the big lake, surrounded by a group of ladies talking, and when she saw Baozhi and them coming, she immediately stood up from the crowd and walked towards her.

She had long been impatient to stay with this group of vulgar fans who would only curry favor with her.

"You're here, I'm getting loud of my head from them." Yongning grabbed Baozhi's arm and walked forward.

Tang Wan fell behind her head and twisted her handkerchief with both hands, staring at Baozhi deadly, Xie Yun was happy to see Tang Wan deflated, and there was a rare smile on her light face.

In the crowd, Baozhi saw Yu Qiuwan, who had been troubled by Xie Kun on the official road before, and was talking to the people around him at the moment, not disturbed by what had just happened.

Tang also followed Baozhi's gaze to see her, and sure enough, he couldn't underestimate these delicate young ladies.

After everyone saluted Yongning, they all sat down.

The palace people are ready to play some games that women love to play on weekdays, Yongning feels that she is tired of throwing pots, and it is not interesting to beat drums and pass flowers, she is worried about watching the game later, how can she be interested in coaxing these people to play.

The princess doesn't play, who dares to cross her, Yang Sixian proposed: "Why don't we play a fresh one, presumably everyone has a copy of calligraphy when they are at home." Let's compare who copied the image today, how about it? ”

Xie Yun snorted lightly: "What's the meaning of this." ”

Yu Qiuwan's eyes turned red when he saw Xie Yun, like a wolf seeing meat: "I think it's funny, Sister Xie isn't the word too ugly to take it, right?" ”

Yongning frowned when he saw them start bickering again: "I've never played before, let's try it today." "It's good to stop their mouths, and she can't talk to Baozhi anymore.

Wei Mingyue asked, "It's just whose handwriting do you want to copy?" ”

Yang Sixian obviously had a plan, and said with a smug smile: "If we copy the characters of calligraphers of previous dynasties, most of our talented women like Sister Wan will definitely be involved, and it is inevitable that they will be biased." The princess has to ask you to come forward to do this. He respectfully stood up and bowed.

Yongning was surprised, what was the difficulty, she still needed to come forward and signal her to continue.

"Today's ice juju competition, presumably the people on the field are all children of the family, send someone to ask each of them to write a poem or a sentence, put it in a jar, let's draw lots, whoever catches which person writes will copy the words, compare to see who imitates the likeness." Yang Sixian explained his thoughts in detail.

The ladies here discussed, some felt unruly, some felt novel, after all, they were all the age of Huaichun, and there were a few sons who participated in Keju.

Yu Qiuwan was one of them, and if he could draw Chu Yao's paper, he was eager to try it.

Yongning thought that it was not a difficult matter, so he asked the palace maid to do it.

After half a pillar of incense, the little popper girl came back with a small pastel general jar.

"But is there anyone who hasn't written?" Yongning asked.

"Princess, when the Fourth Highness heard about this, he also wrote a note, and the Third Highness and the Prince of Chu were unwilling, and the Fourth Highness persuaded a few words, and each of them also wrote a sentence, and the rest of the people

Seeing that several highnesses were involved, Childe responded one after another. The little explosive girl replied in an orderly manner, and Baozhi couldn't help but look sideways, sure enough, the people in the palace are different, and they should really ask Du Ruo to learn the rules.

Yu Qiuwan heard that Chu Yao had also written a note, and his heart throbbed: "Let's start quickly, don't delay the competition outside for a while." ”

Yongning didn't know this and decided to make a judgment, but Bao Zhiben couldn't stand Yongning's encouragement on the side, so he had to participate in the lot.

The eunuch and the palace maid put the prepared pen and ink on the table, and the general's jar was placed on the side.

The copied paper and the original paper were pasted on the west wall by the palace maid, and finally judged by Yongning and everyone else.

After a few rounds, only Baozhi and Tang Wan were left, and the palace maid asked the two to step forward together.

Baozhi twitched Xie Kun's masterpiece, and the corners of his mouth twitched, this word is okay to write, but this word is too fragrant, so how to write.
