Confused the world

These two rounds of competition, in terms of excellence, Li Yan deserved her name.Her excellence among all women is not as simple as being the best.

"The second competition is over, and the next thing is calligraphy. The pear flower of my Huangfu Dynasty is the national flower, so you can use the pear flower as the theme to write a couplet. It is a famous sentence, and it can also be your own creation. After writing, let all the concubines comment Eunuch Qin, ask someone to prepare paper and ink."

Huangfu Jingyan ordered to go on, the expression on his face would not be affected by the atmosphere above the hall.

All the concubines are talented women, and if His Majesty asks them to comment, they dare not slack off.

With pen and ink ready, Eunuch Qin announced the start of the competition.

All the girls were concentrating on the topic when they received the question, while Mu Qingcheng was grinding ink alone, leisurely, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

The other women had written, and she had just begun.As soon as I picked up the brush, a drop of ink the size of a jujube grain fell on the white rice paper.The posture of holding the pen is really holding, holding the pen in the right hand, with the head tilted to the left, like a three-year-old child doing graffiti.After a while, two rows of handwriting appeared on the rice paper.

Seeing that all the women had finished writing, the palace servants confiscated them one by one, starting from the imperial concubine Wei Shuang'er on the right to review.

Concubine Wei took the test questions and looked at them one by one. The first one was Li Yan's, with beautiful handwriting, like a beautiful woman's hairpin, which made people like it very much.There is an approving smile on the corner of his mouth, "The pear blossoms are pale and the willows are deep green, and the catkins are flying all over the city." This is Su Dongpo's poem, coupled with this graceful handwriting, it is really amazingly beautiful.

Then I looked at them one by one, and found that although the other women's writing was good, compared with Li Yan's, it was a bit less elegant and beautiful.When he saw the last picture, he frowned, and then snickered.

"When a pear blossom dies, it's fun to be a ghost", this sentence should be "Die under a peony flower, it's also a good time to be a ghost", this girl is good, just change it to pear blossoms, not to mention her handwriting, a few large characters, Xiaoxiao Sasa filled the entire rice paper.Not only that, but the doodles are not as good-looking as those written by a three-year-old child.The ink drop the size of a jujube grain made her handwriting even more ugly.

Even though the word was ugly, she didn't dare to laugh out loud.Judging from the observation just now, there is no one else in this handwriting except for the third lady of the Namu family.Seeing Wei Shuang'er pursing her lips and sniggering, the others became curious.The queen turned her face to the side, and after seeing the handwriting on the rice paper, she also smiled secretly.

After everyone read it, it was passed to Huangfu Jingyan. After seeing Mu Qingcheng's poem, his face suddenly pulled down.

He intends to make Mu Qingcheng his concubine, but this woman's behavior is really unpleasant.How can there be such a woman who damages her reputation, even if she doesn't want to enter the palace to choose a concubine, she doesn't have to do so.

He raised his head to look at the woman in the hall, she was looking away, with a faint and somewhat sly smile on her lips.Following her gaze, she was looking at the queen.

Huangfu Jingyan was slightly taken aback, this woman is interested in the queen?There is an inexplicable unhappiness in my heart.

"Your calligraphy, I, the Queen Mother, and all the concubines have seen it, and the next step is painting. This is the last competition. After the competition is over, you can retreat and wait for the call for canonization."

Huangfu Jingyan's tone became colder than before. The queen mother and concubines at the side heard this and turned their faces. It was the first time they had such a big reaction when they saw this person.In the past, no matter what, few people or things could affect him.Today's sudden change of displeased tone made people curious.

"The theme of the competition is still 'Pear Blossom', you can draw whatever you want. The time limit is three incense sticks, the competition starts now."

The more Mu Qingcheng smeared herself, the more determined Huangfu Jingyan was to seal her up.Although the handwriting just now was ugly, the occasional style of the handwriting clearly resembled Mrs. Wei's calligraphy.Excellent people can show their light no matter how they hide it.

This Mu Qingcheng is not simple, although she doesn't want to enter the palace, but I am the king, and I won't allow her to escape.

His Majesty asked to draw pear blossoms, Mu Qingcheng thought for a moment, raised the corner of her mouth, picked up a brush, and began to draw on the rice paper.

Huangfu Jingyan sat on the top of the main hall, far away from the girls, so he didn't know how well they painted.

Don't talk about the performance of the girls, Mu Qingcheng alone has already attracted his curiosity away.His eyes were fixed on the expression on Mu Qingcheng's face, he could clearly see the smile on the corner of his mouth just now.He knew the woman was playing tricks again.

Huangfu Jingyan himself didn't know that he was interested in a woman for no reason.In terms of talent and learning, Li Yan is the most suitable candidate.Talented in etiquette, beautiful, and well-bred, she should not be a troublemaker in the palace.

If you say that Mu Qingcheng, the third young lady of the Mu family, has a sly face, she looks like a troublemaker.Not only that, she is a very scheming woman.

Huangfu Jingyan thought of Eunuch Qin's description of her, at first he thought she was an official lady who was ignorant of the world, but today's performance is really hidden.

The time for three incense sticks has passed, the palace servants put away the calligraphy and painting and handed them over.This time, Lan Fei started from the left.

Lan Huijun took over the calligraphy and painting, and the first thing she saw was Li Yan's "Ode to Pear Blossoms".A poem is mentioned on the right side of the painting, "The beauty is as quiet as the moon in a cage, and the fragrance and coldness are not chased by the wind. The peach blossoms only shine on the ground, and they are finally red by laughing monsters."A good poem, this "Pear Blossom" written by Qian Qi of the Tang Dynasty, and her painting "Ode to Pear Blossom" can be well integrated together.The fluttering pear petals, dots of bright red, for the derogatory meaning of peach blossom, it is enough to see that this woman is really outstanding.

After reading it, she nodded again and again, from which it can be seen that she admires this painting woman very much.Needless to say, the painting skills have reached the point of perfection.Who else can compare with her here, except for the one sitting in the highest position?

Flipping through and looking at other people's paintings, although the next painting is good, it's a pity that compared with Li Yan's painting skills, it is far behind.

I saw a painting finally appeared, with only one big flower on it, and it was very big.There is also a poem next to it, "A pear blossom is a pear, and the pear blossoms fly with a gust of wind. If you ask how the pear blossoms are blooming, eat pears and talk about pear blossoms." This is not a poem, it is full of pear blossoms.

If you ask how the painting is, let's use five characters to describe "a big pear blossom".If you ask how this character is, it is like an earthworm wagging its tail and a carp jumping.Two words "scribbled".

Having watched her "Die under the pear blossoms, even being a ghost" last round, Concubine Lan also knows that Miss Mu is also an interesting person.

As the prime minister's daughter, let alone her character, her talent really needs to be learned.

After passing on the painting, it finally reached Huangfu Jingyan's hands.Holding the painting in his hand, he first looked at Mu Qingcheng's painting.

Seeing the big pear flower, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at the poem inscribed, and squinted at Mu Qingcheng standing beside His Highness.I want to know what the woman who painted the painting is doing at the moment.Seeing this, there was some fire in his chest.She was sleeping with her eyes closed. This is the palace, not the Mu family. This woman is too bold.

She painted such a big pear blossom, and the poem, although the rhythm is wrong, it is still a poem. 28 characters, four pear blossoms, and eating pears.If such a big pear blossom can bear pears, the pear must be as big as a wooden barrel. Is that woman sure she can eat it?

The queen mother could feel the cold air emanating from Huangfu Jingyan's body beside her, and looked sideways, and saw him staring at Mu Qingcheng's painting with displeasure on his face.This is already the second time, last time it was because of her writing, this time it was because of her painting.That woman provoked His Majesty's emotions so easily, it seems that the woman also has some scheming.

Although I had a good impression at the beginning, after seeing her performance, it should be more childish.

Huangfu Jingyan flipped through them one by one, and his eyes lit up when he saw Li Yan's paintings.I am a person who loves talents. To meet such an outstanding person, I also want to compete with her.

"The competition is over, you can retreat, and the result of the competition will be announced two hours later. Those who are not selected can return home."

After finishing speaking, Huangfu actually took the painting and left the hall.Then the queen mother and all the concubines also left.

The four of Dong Xue, who were waiting hard outside the hall, were anxious.They were worried that their young lady would come up with something. They also knew the scene of the competition clearly, and someone secretly spread the news about what was going on inside.The performance of my young lady was beyond their expectations.

Participating in the audition, they thought that the lady would ask the master to refuse, but three days later, she actually agreed to enter the palace to participate in the election.From today's performance, it can be seen how much she hopes that she will not be selected.After hurting herself like this, there is no one else, and she is not afraid of losing the people in the Mu family.

"The competition is over, why doesn't Miss come out?"

Qiuyue, who was a bit impatient, circled back and forth there.

"Qiuyue, don't spin anymore, if you spin again, I'm going to faint."

Chun Yu couldn't stand people who were running around in front of her eyes, she was also anxious, and this time, her heart was even more chaotic.

"Don't worry, Miss will be fine."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Xia Xiang's voice about to cry.

"Miss, you can come out, we are almost scared to death. Is there anything wrong with you? Are you hungry? Let's go home now, and I will cook you your favorite meal?"

Xia Xiang strode over, grabbed Mu Qingcheng's hand, and kept asking questions.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry and want to sleep."

After such a long time of competition, people didn't move much, Mu Qingcheng felt that she was almost suffocated to death.At the end of the fourth scene, the drowsiness came. After finishing the painting quickly, I lowered my head and closed my eyes to rest for a while.

"Then let's go home immediately."

Xia Xiang pulled Mu Qingcheng and walked out, before she took two steps, she pulled her back.

"Xia Xiang, we can't leave yet, we can only go home after the results of the competition. Let's go to another place for dinner first, and those palace people will take us there."

Although helpless, since you have come, you must abide by the rules.

"Let's go."

Several people came to the dining place with the palace people, looking at the table full of food, Mu Qingcheng felt that the glutton in her stomach had already come out.

"Miss, shall we sit here?"

Qiuyue occupied a table first, wiped the stool with her clothes, and invited Mu Qingcheng to come and sit down.

The four of them sat down together and usually had meals, as did Mu Qingcheng.She has never regarded the four of them as outsiders. The etiquette of a lady and a servant is all nonsense to her.

"Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

Mu Qingcheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat without any ladylike appearance.The ladies at other tables and the palace servants standing aside were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene.Is this girl reincarnated from a starving ghost? She devours food voraciously, and the way she eats is really uneducated.

It was the first time for Li Yan, who was sitting next to him, to see someone eating like this, like a person from the countryside.

"Miss, please slow down, you will choke if you go too fast."

Dong Xue reminded her that she also knew that Miss was really hungry.Woke up too late in the morning, didn't even dress up properly in order to enter the palace, and didn't eat a single bite of the meal.It is lucky to be able to survive until now without fainting.

"Dongxue, I'm about to starve to death, so let me have a good meal first. After eating, I'm accepting your lecture."

His mouth was full of rice, and his speech was a little slurred.

Seeing this, Dong Xue didn't say much.

After lunch, Mu Qingcheng found a place to pillow on Dongxue's lap and began to sleep soundly.

Everyone present witnessed the various manners of this Miss Mu's family, with disgust, surprise, and approval.

Dong Xue covered Mu Qingcheng with a cloak, and around Shen time in the afternoon, some palace officials came to announce the decree.

"Li Yan, Mu Qingcheng hastened to receive the order."

Mu Qingcheng, who was still sleeping soundly, was a little displeased at being disturbed by this voice, and knelt down to accept the order in a daze.

"Folk girl Li Yan, folk girl Mu Qingcheng, accept the order."

"By God, the emperor ordered: Mu Qingcheng, the daughter of Prime Minister Mu, was canonized as a virtuous concubine and moved into Xueyu Palace. General Li Ao's daughter Li Yan was canonized as Concubine Li and moved into Diewu Palace. After three days, she entered the palace to accept the official canonization. this"

In just a few sentences, there is not even a reason for being selected for the canonization.Others were also curious, and all kinds of gossip began to spread.

"The daughter of the people leads the decree to thank you, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
