Chapter 321: Enthronement and Sealing (12)
In addition to Ji Lianyou, Yinzhuo and a respected Tang Mama in the palace, Xue'er nestled in Ji Nuan's arms, and Xiaoque squatted on her shoulder.
When this strange combination appeared in the palace, those young ladies couldn't wait to push Ji Nuan out with their eyes.
"Why don't you salute when you see the future queen, the emperor has decreed that from now on, all officials and young ladies must salute when they see Miss Qi, and if you are disrespectful to Miss Qi, you are disrespectful to the emperor!" Mama Tang announced loudly.
Ji Nuan really didn't know about this matter, but seeing that those young ladies were reluctant but still had to salute, it was quite refreshing.
"You people don't have any sincerity in saluting, is this the upbringing of all of you?" Yin Zhuo said loudly.
Those young ladies had to salute again, Ji Nuan sat down and asked which one was Miss He, and after He Xihui came out, Ji Nuan asked: "Do you want to be the emperor's concubine?" ”
How can this answer a little girl who has not been out of the cabinet, nodding will definitely make Ji Nuan unhappy, and shaking her head will not lose the meaning of coming here? He Xihui stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Ji Nuan's question.
At this time, a girl in pink stood beside He Xihui: "Miss Qi, today is the day for you to compete with Miss He, and other things should be discussed after the competition, what do you say!" ”
Ji Nuan glanced at Mama Tang, she lowered her head and told Ji Nuan that it was Wu Mingzhu, the granddaughter of Wu Guogong, who was talking just now, and Wu Guogong's mansion was a big family in the capital and was very prestigious.
Today's people are all important ministers' families, and they are all young ladies who think they are qualified to occupy a place in the palace, Ji Nuan looks at it, there must be more than 20 people, there are really a lot!
"Miss He wants to test which three kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what kind of comparison!" As long as it's not cooking and the female red Ji Nuan, I'm not afraid, as a crossing girl, it's too embarrassing to even fight a group of ancient ladies, and besides, isn't there still Xue'er.
"Then let's compare calligraphy first, in order to increase visibility, let's compare calligraphy and painting together, please Miss Ji to come up with the question!" He Xihui said.
The calligraphy and painting competition is difficult for Ji Nuan: "Miss He is a guest, so it's up to you to come up with the topic." ”
This season's warm skin is thick enough, has she already regarded the palace as her territory? If those young ladies hadn't taken into account the fact that this was the palace, they would definitely mock Ji Nuan.
He Xihui came with a mission today, since Ji Nuan is so ignorant, then don't blame yourself: "Draw orchids, and write a poem about Yonglan, whoever can complete it in the shortest time, and if it is completed well, it will win." ”
"For the sake of fairness, please Miss He choose five people from among the people you brought, and I will also choose five from my side, how about letting them divide it equally when the time comes?" Ji Nuan disdains to play tricks, but he doesn't want to talk to the other party about the victory or defeat.
After the judges were selected, the palace maid brought pen and ink, Ji Nuan and Miss He walked to the table, and after the two were ready, Mama Tang announced the start of the competition.
Ji Nuan spent two quarters of an hour painting an orchid, and inscribed Tang Yanqian's Yonglan next to it, the two little girls put down their pens almost at the same time, and Mama Tang looked at the two paintings with a smile and asked ten judges to come over to evaluate.
The gap between the two paintings can be seen with the naked eye, Ji Nuan's paintings are more atmospheric, as if painting the quiet and elegant charm of orchids, and the handwriting is not only beautiful but also has the momentum of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.
On the other hand, He Xihui's paintings resemble orchids, lack of charm, and the handwriting is more than beautiful, but it does not make people feel bright.
