Because of Yu Feng's sudden suggestion, the Queen Mother hesitated a little, and Yu Fengfu said: "Although it is a boudoir pen and ink, it is not suitable to be passed on, but I think that Huang's Qi Niang has won the championship for three consecutive years this year, and some people will inevitably question it secretly, it is better to make the first three works public, just let the little ladies gather in the Flower Pavilion." ”

The Queen Mother eventually agreed to this proposal.

When the competition of piano, chess, and painting has all the results, the little ladies are gathered in the flower pavilion, which is different from the situation in previous years, so that many people are puzzled.

As a "judge", Yu Feng became the only Lang Jun present, which was truly eye-catching.

As soon as I heard that the first three of the "poems" were to be announced in public, many nobles were excited, and partly because of the voice of the prince Qingyue like hitting jade, it seemed that everyone only woke up at this time, or the first time I heard that this young man became famous, the graceful nobleman spoke, and the beautiful scenery looked around slightly, and saw a lot of women with spring on their faces, and there was no spring sun shining into this open flower pavilion, but those shining eyes were a little brighter than the spring sun between the flowers and leaves.

Sure enough, it is a love of beauty, everyone has it-Yijing sighed sullenly, and for a moment he didn't realize that he had become the least interested person.

Looking at Liuniang again, half expectant and half nervous, a small face was flushed, and the two fists were clenched hard.

and Jiang Yue, who was obviously also very nervous, and her whole mind was focused on the long scroll in Yu Feng's hand, but because what she announced first was only the third, she was not yet looking forward to it.

did not directly announce the winners, the clear voice, actually murmuring the poems on the scroll.

Seeing Jiang Yue's face instantly pale, Yi Jing was quite puzzled, and whispered with a smile: "Ah Yue is too nervous, you don't just want to get a third." ”

Huang Jiangyue smiled very reluctantly, as if she had lost her strength, her whole body collapsed in the rose chair, looking at the beautiful scenery, she wanted to speak and stopped, after all, there was nothing to say.

Yu Feng noticed Jiang Yue's expression, and he was already sure in his heart - it was Qi Niang from Houfu who cheated.

Seeing this situation, Yijing was still in the dark, and Houfu Qiniang was so nervous, afraid that Yijing would question it in public.

Thinking about it, she remembered the past and wrote that poem to remember, but she didn't know when she was remembered by Houfu Qi Niang.

She always remembered, what he had told, I wonder what kind of mood she was in at that time, recalling these old things?

The "judgment" that was high above suddenly wandered away, and his heart was a little shaken, and he recited the majestic words of Liu Niang into another gentle and trance artistic conception.

Liu Niang was already overjoyed, and she, who was always silent, actually pinched Yijing's arm.

Next is Qin Qiniang, who won the second place, she is obviously not as excited as Liuniang, and she seems to be a little disappointed, and her heart of victory and defeat is revealed.

When it came to the leader's work, as the paper in Yu Feng's hand slowly unfolded, those contestants with expectations were all holding their breath, only Huang Jiangyue, at this time the mood was particularly complicated - she was looking forward to this "three consecutive wins" for a long time, but today she never thought that there would be such a proposition of spring remnants at the spring banquet, she guessed that most people would express the sad mood of "mourning flowers", and wanted to write a different artistic conception Such a small poem, I thought it was very good when I read it, and I remembered it for a while. No matter how hard she racks her brains today, it is not as good as this one.

After Liuniang finished writing, she let her "taste" without defense, and Jiang Yue felt that the context of the words in her mind was not as good as Liuniang.

After hesitating and hesitating, the desire to win in the end took the initiative, and she finally copied Yijing's lyrics - Shang Zi was glad that Yijing chose the game today.

She didn't expect that this year's election would be announced in public, if she really won the first place......

Seeing the paper in Yu Feng's hand unfolded, Jiang Yue's heart hung in her throat, and she couldn't wait to see the book on the front through the back of the paper.

is still a clear and jade voice, slowly reciting the song that won the championship -

Yi Jing's eyebrows froze, and he looked at Yu Feng suspiciously.

Yu Feng's mood was already stable at this time, so he naturally wouldn't let Yijing see half a clue, and when he finished reciting the last syllable, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the two people who were colorless and suspicious at the bottom.

"This year's 'poetry' is selected, and the winner is the Huang family's Qiniang of Jianning Houfu."

Many people looked at Jiang Yue in amazement, most of them were impressed, of course, there were a few unwilling people, such as Qin Qiniang.

But Huang Jiangyue didn't pay attention to these at this time, she tightly tugged on Yijing's sleeve, her eyes pleading.

Yijing had fully understood what was going on at this time, but her lonely emotions still existed - although she understood Jiang Yue's competitive heart, she had always thought that Jiang Yue was a person who loved herself very much, how could she do such a "cheating" thing?

"Ah Jing......" Jiang Yue shouted with difficulty, but she didn't know how to explain.

If at this time, Yi Jing questioned and made the "fraud" at the Fanglin banquet public, if the Queen Mother was investigated, it would be a crime of "improper conduct" at best, even if the Queen Mother did not pursue it, Jiang Yue would be ridiculed and discredited in the future.

An Hui, who was nearby, noticed Jiang Yue's expression and sneered coldly: "Isn't he just a leader?" is so nervous that his face is colorless, and he is really a little childish. ”

At this time, Jiang Yue didn't have the slightest intention to pay attention to An Hui's ridicule.

She was already like a person who had lost her footing on the cliff, trying her best to cling to the last ray of life, but if no one pulled her, she could not escape the threat of the abyss on her own.

Finally, she smiled lightly when she saw Yijing.

"Ah Yue, congratulations."

Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that her heart was beating again, but after all, she didn't have the strength to squeeze out a smile, and even said "Tongxi", which was extremely reluctant.

Even the Queen Mother rewarded four jade Ruyi, and praised the two girls who won the championship three times, and specially gave the two of them a moon pearl moon skirt, and gave the title of "Kyoto Shuanghua", which did not make Jiang Yue really happy.

"Ah Jing must despise me in his heart, but I really want to thank you for your protection today." Jiang Yue hung her head in frustration, her fingers playing with the forbidden steps on the embroidered skirt, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.

Yi Jing never thought that Jiang Yue would do such a thing, and for a while, she felt that her confidante back then or the person she knew at all was uncomfortable, and she was also a little depressed at this time, and she hung her head sullenly and asked, "Why is this so?" ”

"For Ah Jing, it doesn't matter whether he is the leader or not, whether he is famous or not, but I have always been obsessed with this." The corners of Jiang Yue's eyes were slightly astringent: "As An Hui said, although I was born in the Hou Mansion, I am not the daughter of the Marquis, I am not willing to be silent, and I will be worthy of a well-connected official family in the future...... The name given by the Queen Mother is too important to me. ”

The wheels rolled, gradually driving out of the solemn peace gate, the noisy hustle and bustle of the city was filled outside, but the beautiful scenery had a moment of trance.

In her previous life, she never knew that Jiang Yue was originally so utilitarian.

So, at that time, the woman who was shocking and claimed that she was not satisfied, would rather lose her hair and keep the lonely lamp alone, the woman who was so persistent and free, the woman who once made her admire, her true state of mind was not as she thought at the time?

Behind Jiang Yue's publicity and ease, there is a hidden utilitarianism? What she is pursuing is not a single-minded person, but a more noble and prominent marriage?

So who was she trying to stay in the empty boudoir when she was young?

"Ah Yue, I have always been your confidant." Yi Jing sighed slightly, although after being reborn, she was also wary of Jiang Yue, but she was really unwilling, hoping that at least in the previous life, she did not admit her mistake to Jiang Yue.

But in fact, it is.

"I knew you would despise me." Jiang Yue bit her lip: "But Ah Jing, I just want to rely on my own efforts to seek the marriage I want, is it wrong?" Today, I'm just a thought away...... I regret that I shouldn't have copied your poems, I was wrong, but I don't think I was wrong. ”

Yi Jing was silent, and the heavy doubts in her heart made her unable to easily export "forgiveness" - if her result in her previous life was also Jiang Yue's intention, then she would definitely not be able to forgive.

"Who made me a woman, and the only thing I could hope for in this life was marriage? The future I can imagine is nothing more than serving my in-laws, taking charge of the middle feed, fighting with those concubines, and then planning for my children...... In this case, of course, I must be more honorable and prominent, and no longer be ridiculed by people like An Hui, if I can marry into the clan, who else would dare to disrespect me? Jiang Yue said: "But my father is not a marquis, just a seven-grade official, as An Hui said, even if I have the name of a talented woman, I may not be honored in the future, let alone what miracles will occur if I continue to be obscure." ”

An Hui was right, the name of "Kyoto Shuanghua" did not bring any practical effect to Jiang Yue, so when she reached the age of discussing relatives, she refused the "arrangement" of the family and was unwilling to marry the children of ordinary officials and eunuchs.

Yijing couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Yue's ambitions and desires would swell with the years, in order to seek a good relationship, would she do more vicious things.

In that life, Jiang Yue tried her best to persuade her to pursue her "true heart", and vigorously matched her with Yu Zhou to do such a moral, what was the purpose?

As soon as he thought of this, Yijing's gaze darkened.

"There are things that cannot be forced, such as winning the respect of the people, and for this reason it is even more ridiculous to do unrighteous things." Yijing said slowly: "I won't make a noise about today's affairs, and it's also for the sake of our many years of boudoir love, Ah Yue, I hope you are considerate." ”

It was originally a warning, but Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she raise her eyes and look at Yi Jing: "I will take Ah Jing's words to heart." ”

Yi Jing didn't speak again, her mood was very gloomy, because she knew that as long as she still had suspicions about Jiang Yue in her heart, in this life, they would no longer be able to be confidants, but the truth of the previous life may no longer be able to be confirmed, so she just didn't want her guess to come true and turn against her friends back then.

She was willing to let go of this time, but because although Jiang Yue's trip was against morality, it did not cause actual harm.

And as for the things of the past...... Since there is no way to prove, there is only an embankment, in short, it will not repeat the mistakes of the past and trust others.

suddenly thought of the day of that life, she and Jiang Yue were excited because of the talent of "Kyoto Shuanghua", congratulated each other, hugged each other and laughed and made trouble...... And today, in this life, she finally lost a confidant.

Yijing tiredly leaned against the wall and looked at the vague noise outside the yarn, as well as the light and shadow that outlined the dissociation on the window screen, and suddenly felt dazed.

The changes that she couldn't grasp seemed to be increasing more and more, and she really felt a little tired.
