34. Ambergris
The emperor's eyebrows and eyes were full of praise, touched his beard and nodded: "Yes, Ning Xiang is really a goddaughter, with exquisite singing and dancing like Ruoshuang, and a literary talent like dyeing green, it can be said that she has both literary and talent." ”
The words were passed from the emperor to the empress, and then to the princes, and then the emperor proposed that the palace maid read it aloud so that everyone present could appreciate it.
The night is vast and surrounded, and the crescent moon in the sky is like a hook;
Recalling the past is like a dream, where to seek to rediscover the dream?
People are thousands of miles away, how many sorrows do you ask Jun Yao?
The moonlight is cloudy and the night is not over, and the surrounding prosperity is still the same;
The lights of the four palaces are like day, and the beauties of all parties compete for beauty;
Talented and beautiful women sit on both sides, and the phoenix and phoenix are on the high seat;
This night is not good in this life, where will the bright moon look next year?
It is true that if the verses are not neat, but after the emperor has praised this word loudly, no one will dare to criticize it anymore. The corresponding applause was even more enthusiastic.
Dye Qing was a little ridiculous, she didn't want to be brilliant, so she chose to write, she didn't know what to do with poetry, those poems were just thoughts, and the flattery at the end of the sentence was for fear of being counted by the queen, so she added those two sentences.
But he did it unintentionally, and was exaggerated by the emperor and became the focus.
Needless to say, she became the number one in this group.
Dye Qing smiled bitterly, what is this called, self-defeating? Or maybe she should have stroked the piano music at will at first and perfunctory it. Looking at the dishes on the eldest lady's face and Ning Ruoshuang's narrowed eyes, she knew that she might not be able to avoid their reproach when she went back.
touched Wu Xinya's sight, but it was a warmth, this woman's gentle and elegant temperament was encouraging her at this moment. Compared to her own sister, it is much better.
In the second round of the competition, the queen's proposition was written on paper and placed on the plate, and the five of them were allowed to draw.
The five propositions, in fact, are similar to the previous ones, divided into five words: piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance.
However, a requirement was put forward, with the bright moon as the theme, the current environment as the main purpose, the on-site creativity, and the test was the on-the-spot response. And no matter who it is, there will be one art that is exquisite, and several others may be involved, but they may not necessarily be able to excel.
Among the five choices, the last thing Dye Qing wants to get is painting and dancing, these two things, she should say, no. Learning to paint, she doesn't have that patience, learning to dance, she thinks it's useless, and Livzon is not good at either.
Luckily, she was the piano she smoking, the one who was the best at it.
Wu Xinya drew a dance, she frowned slightly, and was silent.
Ning Ruoshuang spread out his piece of paper, and when he saw that it was a book, his face changed. Five kinds of talents, she can actually be said to be proficient in everything, I believe that no matter which one is chosen other than the book, she is sure that she can win, but the book, after the emperor praised the calligraphy of dyed blue just now, she is not sure.
It's not that her handwriting is not bad, but after having a preconceived concept, the word Dye Qing just now has been so appreciated by the emperor that it will not be able to surpass it, which is not a layer of loss than before. I couldn't help but grit my teeth secretly.
Because they had to test on the spot, the five of them had time to prepare for a stick of incense, and the queen was also thoughtful, and asked the palace maid to lead them to the nearest bedroom next to them to prepare one or two, and then still perform in the order of the team.
Ning Ruoshuang's identity is special, and the queen mother also specially allowed her to split a place alone and let her prepare carefully. Ning Ruoshuang gave Dye Qing a look before leaving, and motioned for her to follow. Frowning, Dye Qing pulled Wu Xinya's sleeve and went together, thinking that with this future sister-in-law here, I believe that Ning Ruoshuang will not mess around.
Entering the palace, Ning Ruo retreated from the palace maid with a double screen, and suddenly turned around and slapped her.
Dyeing blue reflexively dodged, and her neck was hooked by her fingernails, but the palm was slapped on Wu Xinya's body impartially. Dye Qing was shocked and shouted angrily: "What are you doing here? ”
Ning Ruoshuang saw that she had hit the wrong person, and her eyes were guilty, but when she heard Dye Qing ask, she was furious, pointed at Dye Qing's nose and said angrily: "Okay, you little hoof, I didn't expect you to be so scheming that you hid such a hand?" Well? Can you write, can you write poetry? When you turn around, you will ask Daddy to break your hand. ”
Dye Qing didn't get angry but laughed: "Ruoshuang, I can't think like this, but today you want me to slap me in the face and go out, and wait for the emperor to ask, I don't know how you want to explain?" ”
"You?"
"No need for you or you, just now you hit Sister Xinya, she is about to be our sister-in-law, how can I apologize to Sister Xinya."
Wu Xinya was originally pressing her hand on the place where she was slapped, and when she heard the words, she said repeatedly: "No need, no need, I don't think Ruoshuang did it on purpose." "My sister-in-law is already in a difficult situation, she doesn't want to have a conflict with her sister-in-law before she marries into the Ning family, so she would rather settle things and calm people.
But Ning Ruoshuang is the master of the people, and he is usually proud of his favor, so he doesn't take Wu Xinya in his eyes at all. She glanced at Wu Xinya, and snorted coldly: "Is it the future sister-in-law, don't count yet, is the date set?" Don't call me like a double, you and I are not familiar with each other, you can call me Miss Ning Er. ”
Wu Xinya's face was red and white when she was blocked.
Ran Qing was speechless for this second sister, relying on the favor of the queen's mother, there was really no one in her eyes. approached Wu Xinya and comforted her softly. But Ning Ruoshuang suddenly pushed her from behind, she fell into the diagonal direction, and her body pressed on Wu Xinya's body, only to hear a cry of pain, and her bones sounded softly.
At this time, the palace people asked urgently outside the door: "What happened to the young ladies?" When Ning Ruoshuang heard this, he shouted: "Come in quickly." As soon as she finished speaking, when the door was pushed open, she pretended to fall to the ground, and pointed at Ran Qing and said angrily: "Third sister, why do you want to push me and Sister Xinya, even if you want to win, you don't have to be so scheming." ”
The palace maids saw that the three of them fell to the ground, and Dye Qing pressed on Wu Xinya's body, bumped into the bonsai in the house, and the ground was full of wolves, and they couldn't help screaming, and the palace room suddenly became a mess.
