Chapter 104 The ravine that cannot be crossed

Su Junning, on her side, also quietly observed the expression of the queen, the initiator.

Seeing the wonderful changes on the queen's face, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she was in a good mood and took a sip of rose wine from the silver cup in front of her.

Su Zhi, who was sitting next to her, thought that she was very relaxed, but she had some doubts in her heart.

Obviously, when Fang Fang just finished writing the poem and returned to his seat, his face was still heavy, why did he feel like he was raising his eyebrows.

But no matter what, the final decision is still in the hands of the middle-aged man in the dragon robe.

Therefore, everyone is staring at Emperor Jianning at the top at this moment.

"I really underestimated you young people, and I really surprised me!"

After Emperor Jianning made the final judgment, his face swept over everyone on the table with a look of joy, and finally his eyes fell on Su Junning.

But he didn't say anything, took it back again, and waved his hand to Wang Lianyi with a smile.

The latter understood, immediately stepped forward, and read aloud the ranking of the competition.

"The third poem, Xu Sini, the daughter of the Duke of Ruiguo!"

As soon as he shouted out, Xu Sini, who was sitting in the banquet, trembled, his face was gray, his pupils were constricted, and the hand hidden in his sleeve suddenly pinched his palm.

Third place, isn't it even second place?

With this voice echoing in his mind, Xu Sini's figure became more and more shaky, and he felt quite shaky.

Xie Shi, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly tugged on her arm to pull Xu Sini's sanity back a little.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lianyi's sharp voice was heard shouting again.

"The second poem, Li Yuheng, the son of Rongguo!"

After hearing this name, Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Xu Sini.

The man is okay, there is no shame in losing to the man, the mother and daughter both think so.

Li Yuheng, the son of the Rongguo Mansion, is already famous, and it is expected that his poems are among the top three, but at the same time, everyone is also more curious about the candidates for the first name of the poems.

Who is it that can beat the prince of Rongguo, who can be called the first genius in Bianjing, and win the crown.

"It should also be the son of the family, the eldest son of the Su family, Su Yuhui, is brilliant, and the son of the Marquis of Jingchang Mansion is not bad."

"Yes, the son of the Ruiguo Mansion is also quite powerful, and there is also the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials."

The people below began to talk.

However, I basically feel that the one who can surpass Li Yuheng must be a man.

"I'd like to see who is better than my brother's literary talents." Li Lingxi snorted lightly.

Squinted his eyes, pricked up his ears, and stared at Wang Lianyi, who was reading the ranking.

Although Li Lingxi is not outstanding in literature, she is very confident in her brother's talent, but she didn't expect that there would be someone who is better than her brother, and she was quite unconvinced.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Wang Lianyi was biased, and what he said next was not the first name of the poem, but the second or third place of calligraphy.

"The third calligrapher, the son of the left capital Yushi, Su Yuhui!"

"Calligraphy second, the prince of Rongguo, Li Yuheng!"

When these two rankings were read out, everyone couldn't help but begin to praise Li Yuheng for living up to the title of the first talent in Bianjing.

Although poetry and calligraphy are not the first, they are both second, which is very rare.

But because of this, everyone's expectations for the first place are getting higher and higher, who can crush this great talent and win the first place.

The same is true of Li Yuheng himself.

Calligraphy is just that, poetry is the most skillful competition, and he wants to know who won him.

"Father, don't let the prince sell Guanzi, who is the name of this poem and calligraphy, tell us about it."

King Jin smiled and spoke his heart for everyone present.

The crown prince also echoed, "Yes, father, son, son, etc., are really curious, who is better than Li Shizi in this poetry."

At this moment, Su Junning silently closed her eyes, and made a gesture for Li Da Poet in her heart.

On the main seat, Emperor Jianning also had a deep smile on his face.

After his gaze swept over the people in the hall, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Poetry first, Su Junning, calligraphy first, Xu Sini!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

I didn't expect the two firsts to be women.

Calligraphy is just that, poetry is the first, and the one who overwhelms Li Yuheng, the first genius in Bianjing, is actually Su Junning.

When I landed, countless eyes gathered in an instant, looking at this girl who was praised by the emperor for her superb piano skills and excellent calligraphy at the beginning of the banquet, and now she has won the crown of the poetry competition.

Su Junning is wearing a scarlet cloud goose fine brocade poppy beauty pattern fairy skirt today, combing long music buns, with a set of amethyst long tassel head, thin powder, looking delicate, pure and a little charming.

Maybe it's the addition of the name of the first poem, or the charm of the scholarly family, everyone looks at this girl, in addition to her beauty, there is also an elegant bookish atmosphere.

Since ancient times, talented people love beautiful women, and they love talented and beautiful women, at this moment, I don't know how many young sons have moved their hearts.

Su Junning got up dignified and elegant, ignored many eyes, and saluted to Emperor Jianning Shi Ran with a light smile.

"Thanks to the emperor's praise, the courtiers are overjoyed, and they are inscribed."

Compared with her down-and-out generosity, Xu Sini, who has only slightly improved her psychological state because she won the first place in calligraphy, seems to be a little out of shape.

Ben is also a very pretty face, but at the moment it is stiff everywhere, his eyes are hollow, his face is a little pale, and his lips are not bloody, as if he has suffered some blow.

Of course, Su Junning won the first place in poetry, which was the biggest blow to her.

When Emperor Jianning said the ranking of the poems, Xu Sini only felt like being struck by lightning, and the blood all over his body was frozen and solidified in an instant, and unwilling and unbelievable emotions frantically grew from the bottom of his heart, swept his whole body, and even his fingers were stiff.

She lost to Li Yuheng, she admitted, but why would Su Junning beat her.

Obviously, she had been preparing and pondering for a long time in advance, but Su Junning had only been pondering for half an hour, how could she win her casually.

At that moment, Xu Sini even felt that Su Junning was her insurmountable ravine.

surpassed her in the piano skills she was most proud of, and won easily in the poems she was confident in and carefully prepared for many days, and even Su Junning and Shen Qianwei had only known each other for half a year, so close, even the Yan family liked her.

It seems that Su Junning's appearance has broken the balance of Xu Sini's entire world.

"Sini, Sini?" Queen Xu's voice passed through layers of thoughts, and it became louder in Xu Sini's ears little by little.

Xie Shi hurriedly pinched his daughter, and the dull pain made Xu Sini's eyes regain some light.

"You are the first in calligraphy, don't hurry up and thank you, the emperor has a reward." Empress Xu tried her best to be calm and gentle.

But if you look closely at her expression, you will still find something unusual.

Xu Sini pulled the corners of her mouth at this time, and struggled to show a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Courtier, thank the emperor for his grace."
