Chapter 30: The Competition

Zhu Hong coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly, "I see, I misunderstood what Prince Qi Ran meant." I'll let them go. He waved his hand at the guard, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." All of them are distributed to the Huan Wash Bureau! ”

The group of dancers heard that it was better to do hard labor than to die, so they hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them.

Wang Silian squeezed the handkerchief tightly with both hands, as soon as she saw Qin Mochen come in, her eyes couldn't leave him, her heart was pounding, he was handsome in appearance, he was young and powerful, and he was noble. I've heard of him before, and I just secretly admired him at that time, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I can't control it, there is such an excellent man in the world!

She swore that she would marry him. Because she feels that only such an excellent man can be worthy of herself. But now, the man who seemed to be a celestial didn't even look at her, and kept claiming that she was the 'eldest sister'. How can she, who has been arrogant since she was a child, accept this?

Gu Qingwan blew the tea leaves floating on the teacup and shook his head, another poor worm with wishful thinking.

Qin Mochen was originally fighting with Qi Ran hotly, but suddenly a soothing and pleasant flute sound came into the ears of the two. The two glanced at each other, and tacitly closed their mouths and looked out of the main hall.

I saw the third prince Zhu Tianyi, who was dressed in moon-white civilian clothes, walked in calmly, holding a horizontal flute, looking at the front with fixed eyes, ignoring everyone's scrutiny, as if he had come out of a painting, and was not stained with dust.

Suddenly, a piece of white silk and petals fell from the sky, and along with the silk and petals, a woman wearing a pink dance dress and a light veil on her face slowly fell. The woman's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, the pink dance dress makes her skin like congealed cream, and her light figure dances gently with the sound of the flute, which is even more graceful. One red and one white look like a perfect match, like a fairy couple.

Everyone looked at it carefully without widening their eyes, and a trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the official lady looking at the dancing woman, what an honor it was to have the third prince personally accompaniment. And some ladies flashed a trace of disdain in their eyes, but they were just a little vixen who could seduce men, and Gu Qingwan felt... Well, the name of this Gu Yan's talented woman is indeed not empty, and the dance is indeed okay.

Although Gu Yan's eyes fluttered with the sound of the flute, those eyes were still looking at Zhu Tianyi with affection, swaying and swinging to show tenderness, as if there were only two of them in this world. Suddenly, a wind of unknown origin blew away the light veil on Gu Yan's face, and her beautiful face happened to be unpleasantly presented in front of everyone, because of the reason for dancing, a trace of blush appeared on a snow-white face, a pair of cut pupils and tender like water, and the dancing posture was also unstoppable.

That's right, the beauty who fell from the sky was Gu Yan, who didn't appear at the banquet from the beginning. It turned out that I was going to a private meeting with my lover! Hehe. This wave of appearances is 666. Now it's okay, the limelight has been taken away from her, and these young ladies are afraid that they won't be able to sit still. Gu Qingwan looked at Gu Yan and Zhu Tianyi, the 'fairy couple'.

If she remembers correctly, Zhu Tianyi is her nominal fiancΓ©, although she will find a way to break the marriage contract in the future, but now she is the authentic fiancΓ©e of the third prince, and Gu Yan is her sister-in-law, but she openly seduced her future brother-in-law at the Six Dynasties Festival! What a pair of scumbags and!

My sister openly seduced her brother-in-law, I was afraid that no one would be able to bear it, everyone in the hall looked at Gu Qingwan with mockery and pity, but at the moment they looked at Gu Qingwan, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw Gu Qingwan's expression faint, leisurely admiring the songs and dances in the hall, as if he was unaware of the eyes of others. They couldn't help but secretly admire, and their opinion of Gu Qingwan rose to a new height.

Qin Mochen propped his head and looked at Gu Qingwan with a smile, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but gradually deepen.

At the end of the song and dance, Gu Yan and Zhu Tianyi stepped forward to greet the emperor and queen and greet the envoys. At this time, the voice of admiration sounded in the hall, "This is simply a fairy descending to earth, wonderful music, wonderful dance, wonderful person!" ”

Gu Yan lowered her head and said shyly, "The courtiers are ugly, I hope you don't laugh." ”

Such a modest gesture made those men in the hall feel love and pity. Except, of course, for a certain man who doesn't have a backache while sitting and talking.

"Ugly is a little ugly, but it's not enough to laugh, after all, this son has always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade." Qin Mochen said seriously.

Gu Qingwan glanced at him with a black line, it was really poisonous, and I didn't know where this Gu Yan offended him, hurting people so much.

Qin Mochen seemed to sense that Gu Qingwan was looking at him, and turned his head to smile at her is evil spirit, laughing so coquettishly.

Gu Qingwan silently turned his head and slammed the bag.

"Hehehehe, it is indeed a beauty, Qin Shizi can see it this time." A clear voice broke the embarrassment in the Zhengyang Palace.

Gu Qingwan looked up, only to see a man dressed in a stone blue brocade robe, holding a folding fan and looking at Qin Mochen with interest. Gu Qingwan knew that this was Xiyuan, the second prince of Dongli Kingdom.

It is rumored that Xiyuan, the second prince of Dongli Kingdom, loves calligraphy and painting very much, and is attached to the landscape, especially the green jade glass fan he holds in his hand is a treasure that he regards as the root of his life, and the fan does not leave his body. And at this moment, Xi Yuan was holding the fan in his hand.

Qin Mochen propped his head and stared at Xiyuan with a smile, "Oh? The second prince likes this? ”

Xiyuan's handsome face paused, waved his hand and said, "Don't make fun of me, the beauty is unbearable." ”

Qin Mochen nodded in understanding, and patted his shoulder approvingly, looking like he had met his soulmate.

Xi Yuan's words made Gu Yan, who was already embarrassed, even more embarrassed, what did the second prince of Dongli compare to her? Do you think you're a listed woman in the green building?

Gu Yan's eyes turned red instantly, and he looked at Zhu Tianyi aggrievedly, Zhu Tianyi also frowned, but he still needed Dongli's support, he couldn't make a fuss, compared to Dongli, he didn't dare to offend the increasingly strong Mobei, so he had to pretend not to see Gu Yan's eyes.

After thinking for a while, Wang Silian bowed to the queen and said softly, "Queen Mother, Silian has an idea when she sees so many talented people here, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The queen looked at Wang Silian gently, nodded and said, "What idea?" ”

"In my opinion, it is better to have a women's talent competition, Your Majesty and Niangniang, as well as the princes and distinguished guests are all referees. Win the contest and the winner will receive a reward. What do you think, Queen? ”

"Very good. In this case, the main palace took the bracelet that Xihai paid tribute to a few years ago as a color head. Queen Zhou Lian took the lead in expressing her position and asked her personal maid Bao'er to go to Fengzhang Palace to pick up the bracelet.

"Well, that's a good idea. I will also intervene, and whoever wins can make a request to me, as long as it is not against the people, I will agree. Zhu Hongguang waved his sleeves, as if in this way he showed that he was extremely considerate of the courtiers and was a good emperor who loved the people like a son.

Wang Sipian thanked the emperor and the queen, and then turned to everyone, "Sipian will first offer ugliness and make a painting." ”

Soon, a few guards brought a table and the four treasures of the study. Wang Silian stepped forward, picked up the pen and began to paint on the rice paper, his thin eyebrows were slightly condensed, his expression was solemn, and he stroked down very seriously. She herself was wearing a blue butterfly gauze dress, and her wide sleeves moved with her swing, like a butterfly swimming among the flowers, which was very moving.

In just two quarters of an hour, Wang Silian finished painting, stopped writing for a while, waited for the ink to dry, and then asked the two palace maids to unfold the painting and face everyone.

A picture of Wansheng autumn chrysanthemum, pink, yellow, white, green compete with each other, especially the pale green chrysanthemum in the middle is particularly lush, the whole painting not only explains the picture scroll of talented women, but also metaphorizes the noble quality of not wanting to compete with others, and uses it as the beginning of the competition, the meaning is very good.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, and the young talents in the hall who boasted of their talents showed a touch of admiration in their eyes when they looked at Wang Silian, completely forgetting Gu Yan's amazing dance.

Gu Yan gritted her teeth and looked at Wang Silian's eyes with a hint of dissatisfaction and jealousy.

Wang Silian is not as pretentious as Gu Yan, but accepts everyone's praise frankly, although he is modest but not pretentious, and this posture has won the admiration of that group of talents.

Gu Qingwan looked at everyone present seriously, looking back and forth with a faint gaze, but unexpectedly collided with someone's idle-looking eyes.

Qin Mochen put a harmless smile at her, and looked at her with raised eyebrows. Gu Qingwan's heart was whistling by 10,000 grass and mud horses, demons, definitely demons that harmed the common people!

Wang Silian, who had been watching Qin Mochen's movements, suddenly laughed when she saw Qin Mochen, and followed his line of sight to see Gu Qingwan sitting in a corner of the back row. Her hands were clenched, and her fingernails were spilling a string of blood into the flesh, but she didn't feel the slightest pain.

Immediately, Wang Silian said with a smile to Gu Qingwan, "Miss Gu Er, I don't know what you think of this painting?" ”

Gu Qingwan was originally playing with Qin Mochen and staring at each other, but when he was suddenly named, he was in an even worse mood, and said perfunctorily, "The painting of the county lord is naturally very good." ”

As soon as Gu Qingwan said this, Wang Silian deepened the smile on his face. Immediately, there was a light sound in the main hall, "It's just a waste who doesn't understand anything, what qualifications do you have to evaluate the paintings of the county lord of Si Lian?" ”

"That's it."

Gu Qingwan's eyes were slightly condensed, and she looked at Wang Silian lightly, she didn't know where she had offended this Silian county lord.

Who knows, Wang Silian didn't seem to hear the ridicule of others, but he didn't let go: "Silian's painting hasn't been named yet, why don't Miss Gu Er choose a name for it?" ”

"Si Pian County Lord should take it himself, although Qing Wan is dull, he is still self-aware." Gu Qingwan's cold voice swept across the hall.

"Does Miss Gu Er look down on Si Pian?" Wang Silian's voice immediately lowered, as if he had been greatly wronged.

At this time, those talented people in the palace couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed out one after another, "I don't look at what I am, and I still refuse to pity the kindness of the county lord." ”

"That is, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Si Pian could afford her, who did she think she was?"

"Who could it be? It's just a waste of Sheng Cang. ”

"Lord Si Pian is just too kind."

β€œ....”

Everyone, you sarcastically mocked Gu Qingwan with every word. Gu Qingwan smiled at the corner of his eyes, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and the ice in his heart slowly solidified.
