Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Today's Poetry Contest is somewhat similar to the Fei Hua Ling practiced by those literati, but since ancient times, women are confined to their boudoirs, and their knowledge is naturally inferior to those of the literati, so they are not as harsh as the Fei Hua Ling. To write poetry, you only need to be able to recite the poems of predecessors.

For example, the current competition is a poem containing the word "flower". The empress dowager and Princess Mingshao each said the beginning, and then passed the silk flower to Concubine Yu. The family members went to pick them up.

After round after round, the common verses containing the word "flower" have almost been said. Right now, only the third lady of the Lin family, Lin Wanqing, is left, but there are still a few concubines among the concubines. Concubine and Mrs.

Concubine Yu is the head of the four concubines, and now she is taking the initiative out of the game. The other two concubines glanced at Miss Lin San who was wearing a lotus-coloured skirt, and naturally understood what Concubine Yu meant, so they just wanted to make fun of it, not Insisting on showing off, after taking her silk flower, she pretended not to be able to figure it out, and passed the silk flower to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning glanced at Miss Lin San, weighed the silk flower in her hand, and when she turned around and handed it to the lady who started it, she said casually, "When the window is adorned with clouds, the mirror is decorated with yellow flowers."

The lady glanced at Concubine Yu, hesitated for a moment, and waited quietly until the drum was beaten three times, and passed it directly to Gu Xizhao.

If Gu Xizhao doesn't pick it up, it will be Concubine Ning fighting this Miss Lin San.

If it was in the past, Gu Xizhao would not care who is showing off today, but the third lady of the Lin family... no.

Although she is not raised in a deep boudoir like other daughters from aristocratic families, her master is a capable person, who knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. The Four Books and Five Classics, older, dabbled in both wild history and wild poetry, this knowledge is naturally wider than these ladies, a few lines containing "flowers" naturally can't trouble her.

"It's the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and we meet you again when the flowers fall." After a pause, the silk flower passed into Miss Lin San's hands again.

Miss Lin San, Lin Wanqing, was half a year younger than Zhao Sansi, but her speech and demeanor were already decent. After receiving the silk flower, the drum rang twice, but she was not nervous, but glanced at Concubine Ning, She pursed her lips and smiled, "Peach blossoms are smiling, as if they are not in bloom, the most affectionate."

Concubine Ning naturally noticed the look in her eyes, and after taking the silk flowers, she said directly: "Peach blossoms bloom without an owner, lovely deep red loves light red."

Gu Xizhao remained calm, "Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the spring river plumbing duck prophet."

Lin Wanqing took the silk flowers, and still took a look at Concubine Ning: "The flower path has never been swept by guests, and now the Pengmen is opened for you."

Concubine Ning still pretended not to see it: "The peach blossoms and flowing water are gone, there is no other world than the world."

Every sentence of Miss Lin San seemed to be expressing her heartfelt feelings to others. When Gu Xizhao was picking up the silk flowers, she glanced at Concubine Ning by the way, and she also looked puzzled when she saw people. She suddenly felt a little interesting about this Miss Lin San. After a short pause, "I don't know where the human face is going, but Peach Blossom is still smiling at the spring breeze."

The silk flower was once again passed to Lin Wanran's hands. She took the silk flower and paused for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she somehow glanced at the corner of the bright yellow clothes in the distance from her corner of her eyes. When she reached the words on her lips, she suppressed them Go down, wait until the three drumbeats sound, turn to Fushen, and frankly said: "My little girl is not talented."

This is an admission of defeat.

The only ones left are Gu Xizhao and Concubine Ning.

Everyone present was a little stunned. Concubine Ning took the silk flower, turned her head to look at Gu Xizhao, and was silent for a while. After the drums stopped, she silently handed the silk flower to the maid and passed it to Gu Xizhao.

Gu Xizhao looked at the silk flower in her hand, needless to say, she also won.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Lin Wanqing glanced at her elder sister, Concubine Yu, as if she didn't see her cold face, but instead blessed her body towards Gu Xizhao, "My little girl has long heard that Mrs. Gu is a woman of ice and snow. See, the reputation is really well-deserved. Congratulations to Madam for winning the first place today and losing to Madam, the little girl is convinced."

The empress dowager in the main seat turned dark instantly when she heard the words, but before she could speak, Princess Mingshao, who was sitting in her hands, also stood up, walked towards Gu Xizhao, and echoed Lin Wanqing's words: "Congratulations, Mrs. Gu. "

Gu Xizhao didn't need to return the gift to Lin Wanqing, but Princess Mingshao had to return the gift. She stood up and greeted each other with Princess Mingshao, and then she glanced at Lin Wanqing, "Princess, you are welcome, everyone has accepted."

Princess Mingshao smiled, "Where is the concession? After this round, there are hundreds of poems. There are many poems that I have never heard of."

"Princess, you are welcome." Gu Xizhao still responded lukewarmly. Compared with this hypocritical Princess Mingshao, she is now more curious about what this Miss Lin San is up to.

Princess Mingshao restrained her smile, and when she was about to speak again, she saw Zhao Sansi approaching, so she pretended to notice that someone was coming, "Your Majesty..."

With her exclamation, everyone present hurriedly got up and knelt down to salute.

Seeing that Gu Xizhao won with his own eyes, Zhao Sansi was overjoyed at the moment, and cheerfully dismissed the ceremony, "Get up, get up, it's rare for everyone to enter the palace today to talk to the queen mother and concubine, and everyone should feel at ease. Come here, let everyone be cautious, it's my fault."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The crowd followed suit. These women from the aristocratic families hadn't seen Zhao Sansi before, and now that they saw someone, they had to look him up.

Zhao Sansi's appearance is somewhat similar to Zhao Jin's, but because she is a daughter, this face is not as strong and tough as Zhao Jin's, but now being fed by the imperial dining room with good food and drink, although the facial features have not fully grown, but The appearance of red lips and white teeth is exactly the appearance of the young man that the wives of these aristocratic families like, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes, which are burning with a smile.

Zhao Sansi waved his hand, walked straight to the Empress Dowager who had already stood up, bowed slightly, "Empress Dowager." After seeing each other, he said again: "Before, I promised the Queen Mother to come and present the winner of today's poetry competition." Li, I don’t know that today’s poetry competition is over.”

The queen mother glanced at her. She didn't know that Zhao Sansi had been here for a while, but she didn't like Zhao Sansi at all, so she didn't reply to her. It's up to the emperor, whether it ends or not depends on what the emperor wants."

old godmother.

Zhao Sansi was tired of her eccentric look, endured it, and then she didn't get angry, and looked at Princess Mingshao with her expression unchanged.

"It's over." Princess Mingshao was annoyed at the Queen Mother in her heart, but she still smiled on her face, "Your Majesty really happened to be in time, it just ended just now. Speaking of which, the person who won the first place in this poetry competition today is not someone else, It's Mrs. Gu."

Only then did Zhao Sansi take a quick look at Gu Xizhao, with a slightly startled look on his face: "Oh? Really?"

No one answered, Concubine Ning took a look at Princess Mingshao, and then took the initiative to say, "Exactly. Madam Gu's knowledge is incomparable to those who are less talented than me, and today's lead is well deserved."

Zhao Sansi liked to hear the words of praising the noble concubine. For the first time, he sized up this Concubine Ning, who was still not worthy of the title, and turned his head to look at Gu Xizhao. When I was here, I just praised you... Mrs. Gu is a capable person, and the late emperor's praise will definitely not be wrong."

As he said that, Zhao Sansi turned his head to look at these aristocratic women. Although he pretended to be serious, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed. Mrs. Gu?"

It's not so much to appease people's hearts as it is to show off.

Li Zhongxian was listening on the side, without seeing the expressions of these women, he could only remind in a moderate voice, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is still waiting in Chengqian Palace."

Whenever the little emperor came across the matter of the noble concubine, he acted like a talker. He was afraid that he wouldn't try to persuade her to go away, and that the more she talked, the worse she would become.

Zhao Sansi had no idea when the prime minister was waiting for him, but seeing Li Zhongxian winking, he still didn't let him go, "If you don't mention it, I will forget about it."

When the master and servant sang together, Princess Mingshao didn't understand, so she took the initiative to say: "Mingshao forgot the emperor's daily affairs." After finishing speaking, she signaled the maid to bring up the gift she had prepared long ago.

Zhao Sansi glanced at the things covered with red silk on the tray, and raised his eyebrows, "I'm very curious about what the gift Huangjie prepared?"

Princess Mingshao paused, hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to remove the red silk, revealing a set of phoenix crowns inlaid with pearls from the South China Sea.

Those present who didn't know anything gasped in unison. This gift is too grand, and it's a bit...inappropriate to just give it to Mrs. Gu.

Zhao Sansi was also stunned for a moment, she thought she was a stingy lady, but she didn't want to be so generous.
