Because of the poem this time, the main comparison is the idea, rather than the simple painting skills, such as "sad", "bridge", "spring wave green", "shocking shadow" and other imagery is not difficult to think, only "was" is a difficult point, this only Ran Xing let one person draw it, and the voice of support for him is naturally the highest.

Next, after the women's voting, it was not surprising that Ran Xingrang topped the list with almost unanimous votes.

On the women's side, because none of the paintings fully matched the theme, the men, after deliberation, unanimously decided that there was no need for another evaluation, so they gave up.

As a result, Zhou Zhaoxue, who won the leader of women's calligraphy, naturally became the leader of women's calligraphy and painting.

On the men's side, through the women's vote again, Ran Xingrang's paintings defeated Li Mubai's Yan Ti Kaishu by three votes and became the leader of men's calligraphy and painting.

When the eldest princess of Shouyang had just announced the results of this selection, outside the water pavilion, a soft and clear voice sounded in the distance: "It turns out that the calligraphy and painting competition has ended, and it seems that we are really late today." ”

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, but they saw Zhu Changxun dressed in pure white straight, holding a silk folding fan in his hand, and walked along the steps on the side of the water pavilion without hurry. Next to him was Zhu Changying, the seventh son of the emperor, who was dressed in a lake-blue round-necked robe and had not yet fully grown his face.

"Brother Chang Xun, you're finally here!" Seeing the person he admired wholeheartedly, Hou Tingke immediately stood up excitedly.

Zhu Changxun nodded at her with a light smile, took Zhu Changying and walked a few steps inside, and raised his hand generously towards the eldest princess of Shouyang, who was sitting at the head of the women's seat, and said, "Chang Xun has something to delay today, it's late, and I ask my aunt to forgive me." ”

Zhu Changying, who was standing beside him, also followed up and spoke: "Changying is also late, please also ask my aunt to forgive me." ”

The eldest princess of Shouyang slowly waved her hand towards the two: "It's okay, as long as you can come, take a seat." ”

"Yes." Zhu Changxun politely agreed, his eyes swept over Jiang Shu's calm face without a trace of waves, smiled faintly, let Zhu Changying lead him, and walked towards the two empty seats between Zhu Changhao and Zhu Changrun.

When the two of them were seated in two adjacent seats, the talent contest entered the third category, poetry.

In view of the fact that poems and lyrics are not separated, this time there is no subdivision of small items, but put them together to compare.

The title of the eldest princess of Shouyang is flowers, that is, the content of the poems must be related to flowers.

On the men's side, because most of the people present are well-educated people, there are not a few contestants, and even Zhu Changxun and Zhu Changying, who have just arrived, also made a small poem elegantly.

Then through the women's vote, she finally won the first place with a song "Hibiscus Flower" by Wu Shengxuan, the son of Wu Daonan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

When it was the woman's turn, Jiang Shu was about to pour himself a cup of tea, and while tasting it, he admired the talents of the daughters, and Hou Tingke, who was separated from her by a distance, suddenly said: "Miss Ye, everyone is so enthusiastic to participate in the competition, why don't you participate in any projects?" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Shu was slightly stunned, and then reacted that she sent an invitation a few days ago to name herself to attend this lotus banquet, it was impossible not to challenge herself, her eyes moved, and she pulled the corners of her lips and said, "Isn't this free?" ”

"That being said, everyone participated, and only Miss Ye didn't participate, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Su Yuan, who lost to Ye Xishao by one vote in the women's musical instrument competition, said in a strange manner.

Although she did not collude with Hou Tingke to target Jiang Shu, because of the emperor's decree to give marriage, she didn't like Jiang Shu's state of mind as her.

What's more, not long ago, Ye Jiangshu's sister Ye Xiyan also snatched her position as the head of the musical instrument.
