After speaking, Empress Chen glanced at the crown princess with a smile.

The crown princess got up willingly, and came back not long after, followed by two palace maids carrying a golden cage, a thin layer of gauze in the cage, through which you could see colorful butterflies flying up and down.

When the women saw it, they all looked at each other and didn't know what they meant.

Empress Chen glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Set up a lottery for everyone today, if anyone can win the first prize, the palace will have a heavy reward, and these butterflies are today's referees." ”

"Poetry has clouds: green plums such as beans and willows such as eyebrows, there are butterflies flying between flowers, today please use flowers as a medium to see who can make a painting that can attract butterflies. ”

After Empress Chen finished speaking, she paused, and the crown princess got up and said to the women: "For a limited time of two hours, you can walk around at will, find your favorite flower and draw it." ”

The topic of Empress Chen seems simple, but in addition to studying their respective paintings, they also need to pay attention to their eyesight and wisdom, and it is easy to be brilliant, but it is not easy to make butterflies stay in their paintings.

After the crown princess finished speaking, the women dispersed with each other.

Xiahou Shuang walked leisurely at the end, and Zhang Yanyu looked at it and urged: "Sister, why don't you hurry up." ”

Xiahou Shuang said unhurriedly: "This place is full of landscapes, and you can paint them at will." ”

Zhang Yanyu was not in a hurry when she heard it: "It's still my sister who thinks clearly." "Follow Xiahou Shuang and enjoy the scenery unhurriedly.

The Imperial Garden covers a huge area, with all kinds of precious flowers, and there are many that Zhang Yanyu can't name. When he saw the good-looking one, he pointed and said, "Sister, you see this one is really beautiful." Xiahou Shuang nodded in agreement.

Xiahou Yan didn't have such a good Yaxing, and when everyone began to leave, she hurriedly stood up, who knew that she was a little anxious, and her feet hurt for a while, and after taking a deep breath and waiting for the pain to go down, she got up and prepared to chase after everyone.

Xiahou Jing came to Xiahou Yan, who stood up, and asked, "Third sister, are you okay, do you want me to help." ”

Xiahou Yan glanced at the secret and faked, at this time, came to care, the others in the province didn't know that they had injured their feet and had to come to the banquet recklessly, did they want to make themselves the object of everyone's ridicule?

said coldly: "Don't worry about it. ”

He tiptoed after the ladies in front of him.

Xiahou Jing kindly touched her nose, and anger rose in her heart, ignoring Xiahou Yan, and walked in the opposite direction.

Xiahou Shuang and the two of them became more and more remote, and gradually lost the figure of Miss Beppu, Zhang Yanyu couldn't help asking: "Sister, what does the queen mean? Could it be that the painting we made really has butterflies fluttering up?"

Xiahou Shuang smiled faintly and said, "I've never heard of it, but it's not impossible." ”

"Sister, do you have a good idea? Zhang Yanyu said happily.

Xiahou Shuang didn't sell it either, and chuckled: "What do butterflies like to eat?"

"Pollen and nectar. Zhang Yanyu tilted her head and thought for a while and said.

Then he suddenly realized: "Could it be that my sister wants to add these things to the painting? Oh, how did I think that my sister is still smart." Zhang Yanyu patted her head and said in surprise.

Xiahou Shuang smiled faintly and did not speak.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, two people flashed out behind the rockery, it was Xiao Yunfei and Xiao Xinrong.

Xiao Yunfei slapped his palm with a fan and said, "This woman is quite wise. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Xinrong and said, "Cousin, I think she should be able to come out on top this time, do you want you and me to gamble." ”

Xiao Xinrong walked past him with an expressionless face.

"Hey, you, you have something to say......" Xiao Yunfei chased after him dissatisfiedly.

Almost half of the time passed, and Xiahou Shuang and Zhang Yanyu were almost gone, and then they began to return leisurely.

I saw that some young ladies had begun to start writing and were no longer slacking off, and they also began to draw.

Xiahou Shuang painted a picture of a butterfly fluttering peony, a few strokes down, a budding peony jumped onto the rice paper, a colorful butterfly attached to the peony, spread its wings and wanted to fly vividly.

When she put down the pen, a palace maid just shouted: It's time!"

All the women put down the pens in the book, and Queen Chen smiled; See what the ladies have drawn?"

The county lord helped Empress Chen to get up, and all the ladies of the mansion stood on the side of their paintings and waited.

Walking to Han Linger's table in the first row, I saw a peony standing quietly on the paper, and the queen mother praised: "Yes, quietly independent." ”

Walking in front of Xiahou Shuang's painting, Empress Chen looked at it carefully and nodded, and came to Tong Yingxuan's painting without saying much.

I saw that Tong Yingxuan painted a few cold plums, and the dotted red plums were proud of the independence in the cold wind and snow.

Empress Chen asked strangely: "Everyone else paints flowers that bloom in spring, why are you the only ones who paint plums?"

Tong Yingxuan said: "Mei Kai a fragrance floats for several miles, and the courtiers have always admired the plum blossoms that are not afraid of the cold. ”

Tong Yingxuan Zhong Lingyuxiu was clever, and after a few words, the queen looked at her carefully, and said with her eyebrows stretched: "That's good!"

Xiahou Shuang heard this and said secretly: It seems that Tong Yingxuan came prepared, who doesn't know that there is a plum character in the queen's name, and it is not a secret that the queen likes plum blossoms today. It's just that I don't know which prince the queen of the flower banquet is going to marry this time?

In addition to the crown prince, there are eight princes and four princesses in the emperor today, the queen gave birth to three princes, and the second prince drowned.

In order to avoid mentioning sad things again, the emperor and queen directly ranked the princes according to their age, and Xiao Xinrong became the second prince.

In addition to Xiao Xinrong, the three princes are fourteen or fifteen years old before they have reached the age of opening a mansion, and the others are even younger, this time it should be for Xiao Xinrong to look at the daughters of various mansions, it seems that Tong Yingxuan is bound to win this time.

Empress Chen walked in front of Wang Shuwan's painting again, the painting was vigorous and powerful, and it really didn't look like it was from the hand of a boudoir girl. glanced at it and turned his head to ask the crown princess: "Which daughter's painting is this?"

The crown princess bowed her head and responded: "It's the young lady of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and her name is Wang Shuwan." ”

After Wang Shuwan stepped forward to salute, the queen asked, "Miss Wang, why did you paint a painting of flowers scattered when riding a horse and leaving?"

Wang Shuwan said unhurriedly: "Listen to the yellow crane singing at night, the building is 100 feet high, galloping white horses, and sweeping thousands of troops." I rushed to the border to defend against foreign enemies, and the courtiers sent a sustenance to this painting, which was limited in the United States, and was not as heroic as my men. ”

Wang Shuwan is slim and elegant, but her words make people's blood boil, and she can't help but be impressed and dare not underestimate her.

"That's good!" A man's deep voice came from a distance, and everyone looked back and saw that it was the emperor who had arrived.
