In this era, even noble ladies do not have too much knowledge. They talk about flowers and plants, poetry, housework, and clothes and jewelry. .This kind of conversation is really boring. If it wasn't for the purpose of getting information among the female relatives, Shui Jue wouldn't even want to hold a banquet, so she might as well dress up and go out to listen to plays and stroll around the antique street.

But since they have held such a boring banquet, if they don't inquire about some news, they are too sorry for their boredom.Shui Jue also came up with a twelve-point mental formula.No matter how smart these female family members in the backyard are, they are only tossing about one-third of an acre in the backyard. Compared with Shui Jue, they naturally lack a bit of city and experience. After verifying the news submitted by Min again, and sorting out the relationship of several families, Shui Jue thought that the time was almost up, and led a group of wives back in a mighty way.

After Shui Jue and the other wives left, the girls let go a lot.Although I still care about the image, the smiles on the face and the communication with each other are much more.Although Lin Daiyu has only been back to Jiangnan for more than a month and is still young, her identity is destined to be the existence of the stars at this moment.Li Renhu's daughter, Li Qiong, and Mu Kai's daughter, Mu Lingxiu, were by Lin Daiyu's side, like friends for many years, introducing the women present to her.The other women also knew that Lin Daiyu had been favored by Princess Chang Rui since she was five years old, and she was taken by her side as a companion.

This kindness is also reflected in the competition.In order to keep a low profile, Lin Daiyu only chose poetry, and the others were mainly for fun, so she didn't pay much attention to it.Because of Lin Daiyu's status, the girls who also participated in the poetry competition all kept their eyes open. After Lin Daiyu finished her poems, they decided to read Lin Daiyu's poems before writing their own.They thought, since Lin Daiyu only participated in this competition and gave up all the others, then they must spare some effort to give up the leader to Lin Daiyu.

The topic of this competition was Hundred Flowers, and Lin Daiyu drew lots for Orchids.After she only thought for a while, her thoughts flowed like a spring, and she wrote like a fly, and a seven-character quatrain was eloquent and vivid on the paper.Mu Wenxiu, who was sitting next to Lin Daiyu, glanced at Lin Daiyu's poem, and then passed it on.All the women were silent after hearing Lin Daiyu's poems, and then they couldn't hold back their hands anymore.

These women didn't cover up their small actions too well, how could they escape Lin Daiyu's eyes.Lin Daiyu blew on the ink marks on the paper, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Self-righteous thinking of "keeping" the leader to himself, it also depends on whether he has the ability.When the princess comes back, if she sees that the poems in this competition are far from her own, let's see how they can hold their heads up.

The women who were going to only put in five or six points of effort, now put in a lot of effort, racking their brains to squeeze out verses.They thought, Lin Daiyu is only seven or eight years old, if their poems are too far behind, wouldn't it be disgraced in front of the princess, and it would appear that she has no talent.

Women's education in the south of the Yangtze River is more talented than that in the capital.They also think highly of themselves and look down on the ladies from the capital who can only be housekeepers. Now they are actually compared to the seven or eight-year-old girls. How can they be willing in their hearts?

When Shui Jue came back, all the other competitions had ended, except for poetry, and there were still many women who were dawdling and refused to hand in their poems.But since Shui Jue came back, she would not continue to wait for them to finish their dawdling.Failure to do so will be deemed a waiver.

Shui Jue called Lin Daiyu back, and said narrowly: "You are participating in poetry?"

"Yes, princess." There was a little pride in Lin Daiyu's eyes.

Shui Jue smiled and said, "Looking at this gloomy look, how did you bully people?"

Lin Daiyu put on a serious face and said: "I write my poems, others write other people's poems, why do you call me a bully, the princess wronged me."

Li Qiong joked with a smile: "Okay, it's not that you bully others, it's that our skills are not as good as others, right? As expected of Princess Changrui who taught us, we really feel inferior."

Mu Lingxiu also added: "How old are you? Is this considered a talent? I don't want to admit that I didn't study as hard as you."

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "I am the princess's companion. If I don't learn better, how can I be worthy of the great Confucian who teaches the princess."

The slight discomfort of being compared in the hearts of the girls dissipated in an instant.Everyone suddenly realized that what they said was true, most of the people who were responsible for their enlightenment were scholars, and it was rare for them to be recruited.But Princess Chang Rui has been loved since she was a child, and it is said that she has received the same education as the prince.This imperial teacher must be the most talented person in the world. It is only natural that Lin Daiyu can write better poems than them after receiving such an education.

Thinking about it now, Lin Daiyu only chose poetry, perhaps not because she wanted to maximize her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, but because she didn't want to be too high-profile.Lin Daiyu's level of education is completely different from theirs. If they are compared in everything, wouldn't they be worthless?Is this a show of mercy?Thinking of this, the girls' affection for Lin Daiyu immediately increased a lot.

Lin Daiyu was born with a delicate mind and was very sensitive to everyone's emotions. The mentality of the women in the natural way changed, and they relaxed a little while sighing.Although she is not afraid of leaving some people with a little resentment because of this matter, she always does not want to be hated by others.

Lin Daiyu smiled brightly, and said to Shui Jue: "Princess, take a look, the sisters have worked hard and want to earn the princess's prize."

"You are thinking about something in this palace again, so you can just say it directly." Shui Jue smiled and glanced at Lin Daiyu, and took the paper with poems in his hand.Lin Daiyu's poems are of course the most aura and the most brilliant. Not to mention, the second best poems are not written by any official lady, but by a lady named Xue Baochai who chanted peony.In terms of talent in poetry, it may be on par with Lin Daiyu, but this peony is obviously intended to please Shui Jue, with a little more craftsmanship, which suddenly lowers the grade of the whole poem.But compared to other ladies, she is still a bit more brilliant.

But after Shui Jue glanced at Xue Baochai's poem about peony, he put the paper aside and looked at other people's poems.In the end, the second commenter was Li Qiong, and the third was Qian Yizhen, the daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou.Shui Jue said with a smile: "Jiangnan's daughter is really talented, I'm going to be too picky."

The wives who commented with Shui Jue all laughed and said that Princess Chang Rui was absurd.

Shui Jue smiled at Mu Lingxiu again: "I heard from your mother that you have a resolute personality, and that you are a complete general. Now I have seen it. You can even write a peach blossom poem with a murderous look. If you If you comment on the most murderous poetry, it must be your leader."

There was a burst of laughter from all around, and Mu Lingxiu blushed with shame: "Princess, don't laugh at my servant, I know I was wrong, next time I must write a soft poem."

"Why, it's as if I won against you because the poems I wrote are too soft." Li Qiong rolled her eyes at Mu Lingxiu, then covered her mouth and smiled, "Lingxiu is good at frontier poems, but singing flowers and plants makes things difficult for her, princess. "

"That means you are out of luck. Well, luck is also a kind of strength." After Shui Jue showed his closeness and respect for Mu Lingxiu, he began to cash in on her lottery.Shui Jue asked the servant girl to bring three plates as rewards, and the top three could choose the one they liked from their plates and take it away.

Li Qiong chose a fan embroidered with sandalwood and Suzhou, and Qian Yizhen chose a duan inkstone of high quality.Neither of these two chose the most valuable of the rewards, but the most elegant.

Lin Daiyu looked at the reward that belonged to her, and said flatly: "The princess bullies others, isn't this my property? I painted this fan yesterday."

Shui Jue picked up the teacup, blew on the tea stems on the water, and said slowly, "You've got enough here in this palace, so what's the point of arguing this time? As my companion, you should Pretend not to know, choose one at will. Saving money for Bengong is part of my job as a companion."

Lin Daiyu was dumbfounded, and so were the other girls.At first glance, Princess Chang Rui is teasing Lin Daiyu.But she had prepared this reward early on, because she had already determined that the leader of the poem must be Lin Daiyu.

In the end, Lin Daiyu picked up the fan she painted yesterday amidst everyone's good-natured laughter, and stood behind Shui Jue with her head bowed in aggrieved manner.Because Lin Daiyu is still young, such a pitiful little appearance of being wronged does not make everyone think it is hypocritical, they just think it is extremely cute.

And the closeness of Shui Jue and Lin Daiyu made everyone know it well.

What kind of talent is this? It's just Shui Jue showing who is closer to her.Even if they are not ranked in the talent list, Shui Jue will point them out and talk for a while.

After the comparison between the girls, the banquet was almost over.Shui Jue ordered all the guests to be sent away, and went to hide in the house first.This party really bored her.

Lin Daiyu was responsible for sending the heavyweight guests to the door, and received a lot of good words.However, these kind words and flattery are mostly sincere words mixed with sourness.Lin Daiyu is not comparable to the boudoir ladies of the same age or even older than her in terms of talent or conduct, and it can only be said that the teaching of the royal family is really different.Lin Daiyu's companions are like this, but I can imagine how powerful Princess Chang Rui is.

Lin Daiyu's limelight at the banquet was not for herself, but to show the ability of Princess Chang Rui behind her.

Although Princess Chang Rui said that she has a weak body and a gentle personality, but just by Lin Daiyu's appearance, she knows how weak the rumors are.Considering that before the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the court was turbulent, and the seizure of the throne was turbulent, so it was only natural for Princess Chang Rui to put on a show.

As expected of the people taught by the new emperor, they all just hide their strengths and bide their time.

..................................

Although the current situation is still a little tense, Shui Jing, who has already ascended the throne, is actually the biggest winner, and other troubles are just troubles.So Shui Jue doesn't need to act weak anymore.At this time, she was a little bit stronger, and it also calmed down some people who wanted to start with her.Although she is not afraid of those people, Shui Jue doesn't like trouble very much.

After playing in Jiangnan for a while, the little prince's first birthday banquet is still a month away, and it's time for Shui Jue to go back.No matter what, the prince must appear in person to catch the week.

Although he was tired of crying children, the little prince was quite well-behaved, usually accompanied by a nanny, and Shui Jue still liked this child.The little prince, who is almost one year old, has learned to walk, but he still can't speak well, but he can still speak ordinary short sentences.When Shui Jue was a child, he could walk first and then talk, and it was useless for Shui Jing to teach him.According to the memories of the old people around Shui Jing, Shui Jing was also the same when he was a child.It is estimated that this is the inheritance of this family.

Before going back, Shui Jue originally wanted to go to Jinling to take a look at the beauty who was studying hard.But Shui Jing wanted her sister to miss her son too, and several letters came urging her to return to Beijing, and Shui Jue couldn't make another detour, so she had to go back in a hurry.

Lin Daiyu's relationship with her family has become more harmonious these days, and she was still a little sentimental when she parted.However, after listening to Shui Jue, at most next year, Lin Ruhai might be transferred back to the capital, and Lin Daiyu felt more at ease.When Lin Ruhai was transferred back to the capital, she had her own house, and although she still had to go to the Princess Mansion every day, she could go back to sleep at night.

Originally, Lin Daiyu could go back to Jia's mansion to rest. If she had a good relationship with Jia's mansion and Lin Ruhai entrusted her to Jia's mansion again—whether she was studying with the princess or the prince, she would go home at night.But Lin Daiyu was still young, and Shui Jue had already said that she would raise and play with the child, so she stayed in Prince Rui's mansion logically, and she has been staying in the palace now.

Shui Jue decides to go out and play again in disguise before returning to Beijing—when she returns to the capital, she cannot live alone in the princess mansion as an unmarried woman, but can only live in the palace, but she has no freedom.Even her brother has to act all the time.

But what Shui Jue didn't expect was that the last time he went out to play before returning to Beijing, it was written in the opera book that a hero with a very low probability came to save the beauty. Shui Jue had a little impression of Xue Baochai after watching Peony Chanting last time.
