Chapter 527 Chapter 528 Wangfu Spring Banquet, Sanniang's Move

Princess Jinyuan got up with a smile and was served by two maids to paint under the peach shade blocked by several screens. The empress dowager and the women began to appreciate the paintings of the girls. Soon, Yu Yu also returned to the table and selected the three best with the three princes, which were handed over to the empress dowager to determine the "three tops" ranking.

Peng Lan won the "exploration" and the "top student" of Shen's Sanniang high school. The empress dowager said an interesting sentence: "The emperor will not hold the palace test until next year. I don't know who Dalong can go out of the palace through the imperial road through the Meridian Gate. It's today's Fanglin banquet. We have selected three boudoirs."

A burst of laughter.

Many noble women surrounded Shen Sanniang to congratulate her.

Someone said that Yiyangjun's song just now and praised it with great praise. I really didn't expect that Xiliang noble piano art was so exquisite and self-representation. His talent was admirable. This sentence aroused the indignation of those who were jealous and retorted in a low voice, saying that it was not as good as An Jin's song. Peng Lan was not present just now, but Eleven Niang did not "test" Talking about the situation just now, Peng Lan was very annoyed by missing Yi Yangjun's piano music. He also heard that the princess and Xiliang's noble daughter wrote poems and hurriedly asked for rewards.

"It is said that the princess knows all four arts, not to mention the piano skills. The princess claims to be invincible, and there is no match in poetry. Presumably, this painting is also difficult to compare with the national beauty of Sanniang." A noble daughter flattered Shen Sanniang and praised the peony competition picture.

aroused the echo of several noble women.

Su Liuniang and Qi Niang listened to this harsh words. Liu Niang turned away from right and wrong and was ready to fight against others in chess skills later, but Qi Niang couldn't help it: "The princess said that the piano skill is not good is modest. I heard people relay the princess's appreciation. It can be seen that the princess is proficient in rhythm, but it may not be really invincible. The four arts cover piano and chess. Calligraphy and painting, one of the 'books' is not limited to poetry. Maybe the princess is knowledgeable to the past and the present, and her talent and insight are much better than us.

Peng Lan also held an injustice for Jin Yuan: "As for the handwriting of the princess, it shows the style and bones. The artistic conception of poetry is lacking, but the rhythm and rhyme are very public, which is not easy. In addition, the display of talent is intended to learn from each other and improve refinement. Why should we care about the length of each other? Isn't it narrow?"

These words made all the noble women who had just echoed their faces coldly. Shen Sanniang, who originally thought she was in the limelight, snorted coldly: "Alan's words are really hypocritical. If Fang Linyan doesn't distinguish between advantages and bad, why choose the top three? Isn't it that A Lan is unwilling to lose his painting skills today?

Peng Lan was originally not a person who loved to care about words. It was nothing more than admiring the princess for her open-mindedness and the princess's friendly messengers from afar. She felt that the bad words of the noble daughters in her country were too rude. What was the etiquette of hospitality? I couldn't help arguing a few words, but I was "personally attacked" by Shen Sanniang, and my face was not good-looking.

Eleven Niang quickly pulled away Peng Lan, went to find Yang Liu, who sat alone in the pavilion to enjoy the quietness, and advised him a lot: "Shen Sanniang has always been arrogant. Why should she pay attention to her? In addition, most of the people who please her are Qin Xiang's family members, and they can't get along with us."

Eleven Niang forgot that Peng Lan's father Peng Xiang was also Qin Xiang...

About half an hour later, Jin Yuanfu turned out of the surrounding screen. At this time, the preliminary competition of chess was over. Liu Niang encountered a strong enemy in the first round and regretted defeat, but after watching Jin Yuan's painting at the first time, he was overjoyed and excited. He did not hesitate to praise him. She simply couldn't put it down with the picture scroll.

A look at the beautiful scenery, I saw the ink landscape. The thick ink outlined the cliffs like a sword and stood in the east of a wave of the clear pool. The mountain wall pierced the clouds, and the light ink hooked into green mountains. It seemed to be caged in the fog. A group of birds shone with water, and two lonely boats were far away, leaving a faint shadow in the wave light. A pine branch grows nearby, which echoes the planting of trees on the cliff. Simple pen and ink paints an open landscape.

"What do you think?" The Empress Dowager is also very satisfied.

"This landscape is worthy of today's top work." Yu Yu expressed his appreciation concisely.

Jin Yuan smiled and said, "The scene in the painting is the Sheath Mountain and Biying Pool in the far suburbs of Xiliang Dajing. The beauty of the real scene is not enough to depict the brush." It is humble to painting, but it boasts the beauty of Xiliang.

Naturally, the ladies will come to support and praise the talent of Princess Xiliang. Most of them are convinced and appreciate Princess Jin Yuan's painting skills. No one wants to compare this ink landscape with Shen Sanniang's colorful national fragrance, but Yu Yu's sentence just now is worthy of being the champion. "It has turned into a sharp sword and stabbed in the heart of Shen Sanniang, who thought that she was amazing with her painting skills.

To be honest, the time left for the girls to paint at the Fanglin banquet is not abundant. If you choose color, you must lose the size. Shen Sanniang's painting is indeed good. The peony painting is very rich, but due to time constraints, she can only draw three or two. In terms of artistic conception, she lost a little first, and her mind is all used for the depth of color. There are shortcomings in fineness. The Empress Dowager chose her as the leader because she felt that it was in a hurry and it was not easy to show the beauty of the peony. Besides, the peony had the auspicious meaning of "gance and magnitude" and "flower blooming wealth", and the Empress Dowager felt that she liked it.

But Princess Jinyuan's painting is really more exquisite and magnificent than Shen Sanniang. The contrast is clear, and there is nothing to argue about.

Shen Sanniang was very unconvinced, but of course, she could not be too obvious in front of the Empress Dowager and many dignitaries. She pretended to appreciate the painting and reluctantly praised a few words, just smiled: "I remember that the seven cousins in the old years were also painted landscapes. It seems to be Yunhai pine stones, and the Empress Dowager also praised it. I was desperate to comment on the leader, but unfortunately, seven cousins can't participate in the Fanglin banquet today.

The Empress Dowager looked at Shen Sanniang a lot and was a little confused. The queen reminded her, "Yes, if it's Ziruo, Shen Sanniang is Mrs. Qin's niece."

Only then did the Empress Dowager know Shen Sanniang's "out source". She withdrew her eyes and ignored it, but talked to Princess Jin Yuan.

Shen Sanniang's words seemed to imply that Qin Ziruo's painting skills were better than Jin Yuan, but she did not get a response from the Empress Dowager, so she completely died and retreated.

At the time when the emperor drove, the chess art was in full swing. The emperor sat next to the Empress Dowager, appreciated several poems and paintings, and praised the excellent works of Xiliang and Princess Jin Yuan. I heard that Yiyangjun's piano skills were also very exquisite. The emperor did not doubt: "Concubine used to be a good piano, so she was called Xue Guo. According to the guidance of the minister, Yiyang is not only a disciple of the country, and his piano skills must be more extraordinary.

Seeing that the chess game is in progress, he asked about the test situation and learned that four winners had been decided, so he asked if there was Xiliang to be shortlisted.

The judge Yijing quickly reported that because the princess had just been busy painting, Xiliang did not come to participate.

Today, many modest princesses Jinyuan suddenly asked for war: "The subjects of Xiliang are influenced by your country's culture, and the most popular is the game. The chess skills of Xiliang should not be underestimated, especially the Leyang lady. She has never met an enemy in Xiliang, and even promised that if a man can slightly beat the chess skills, regardless of her identity, she is willing I would like to be a wife, but unfortunately, there is no one in Xiliang who can beat Leyang.

As soon as this statement came out, it suddenly aroused the dissension of many noble women, and some noble women were curious and eager to witness the chess skills of Lady Leyang on the spot.

The emperor laughed and said, "Okay, let Lady Leyang compete with my daughter."

Today, Leyang, who cherished his words like gold, got up and saluted and took orders.

As a judge, the beautiful scene was very difficult. After thinking about it for a while, she proposed to let Dalong's boudoir decide the winner first, and then fight against Leyang.

How can Leyang be very arrogant? "You don't have to bother. The little woman is willing to fight against four."

Unexpectedly, he had to fight against four Dalong noble women at the same time.

The atmosphere in the garden suddenly became warm. Some people talked about Leyang's arrogance and some were very convinced. Even the noble children were curious when they heard it and watched the scene of Leyang being one against four from afar.

In less than half an hour, four Dalong noblewomen were defeated one after another.

In addition to his praise, the emperor was not willing to give up. He asked loudly if there was a scholar who was willing to fight with Leyang.

Leyang knelt down and begged: "The little woman once swore in front of the Buddha that if a man can win in chess, the little woman is willing to marry him as his wife and find a good person with chess skills. Therefore, please forgive me. The little woman is not willing to play with the man at will."

In such a situation, most of the Langjun who rubbed their hands earlier were a little hesitant. Most of them learned that Xiliang wanted to marry Dalong, and the elders of the family avoided it. However, they saw the beauty of Leyang's beautiful and moon, and their chess skills were so good. Some talents were still moved, and there were those bold people who crossed their hearts-- The emperor not only gave the first order, but also saved the national prestige for Dalong. Even if his father learned about it, it was not easy to blame. This Leyang woman is both talented and beautiful, but she is a rare beauty. It is lucky to marry her.

There are several young men who came forward to fight.

The emperor just nod and smiled: "Several of them are eunuchs. Is Leyang willing to fight against them?"

Leyang lowered his eyes and replied, "No matter where he is born, as long as he is willing to marry Leyang and can win in chess, he is a good man of Leyang."

Although one of the purposes of the banquet, there is also the intention of matching the marriage of noble children, and there have been many precedents of men and women and good relationships in the past, it is still the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair with a lifelong alliance with a skill. Most people find it fresh and interesting, even those girls who are jealous because of their small arms. Leave everything else for the time being and pay close attention to the progress of the situation.

Yijing just admired Leyang when she saw four enemies. She asked herself that she was not Leyang's opponent and the people she knew. Maybe only Yu Yu and Master Tongji might win, but neither of them could respond to Leyang's "matching chess and marriage", etc. It seems that Princess Jin Yuan intended to do this matter. Is it intended to make Leyang and Da Da Marriage between the nobles? But in this way, the marriage should be on Leyang, and how can the princess avoid the "daughter succession"?

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly became cheerful - even if Leyang married aristocratic children, it was just an ordinary marriage, which could not rise to the level of marriage, but what was the purpose of Princess Jinyuan's trip?

The imperial concubine naturally couldn't figure out the organs. It turned out that Yiyangjun asked Xue Guoxiang for help. Frankly, his father wanted to take advantage of Leyang's plan. If Leyang did not follow the plan, he would be in a precarious situation after returning to Xiliang. Leyang was unwilling to be controlled by others, and he was unwilling to be willing to live in the position of concubine. He had to marry Dalong and not return to the country. I hope that the prime minister of Xue can persuade the princess to complete it. The prime minister is the teacher of Yiyangjun. Of course, she is willing to help. The princess also believes that the Yiyang brothers and sisters have been encircled by the Wan family, which is more conducive to future plans, so she made a request when she meets the third prince's cousin.

The third prince "colluded" with the emperor, so Fang Linyan staged the drama of "matching chess and attracting relatives".

No matter who is from others, Yingyang's female lady saw the sudden change of the situation. Naturally, she was anxious and secretly scolded Leyang for his cunning. How could she ever make such a promise? She must have conspired with the princess for a long time!

Leyang is the daughter of the Qing family, and even Princess Jinyuan can't take charge of her marriage, but if Emperor Dalong gives her marriage, his father should not refuse for the future.

Cheer Leyang, a treacherous villain!

But several noble children were also defeated one after another!

The third prince had a long time and told his son: "If Leyang marry into a famous family, the Qing family thinks that there is still something to use, and may not give up letting Yiyangjun marry Jin Yuan. Therefore, Leyang can only marry a poor family with low grade and is not trusted at present, which is conducive to the next plan of King Xiliang."

But it's not easy to choose this person. It's always impossible to let the officials participate in the Fanglin banquet. It's too obvious. The emperor discussed with the third prince and gradually limited the candidate to the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies. After all, it is also right that the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies participated in the banquet and the mission, but coincidentally, Meng Gao, who newly joined the Ministry of Ceremonies, was just Bo, the head of a county, was recommended by Qiao, a servant of the Ministry of Industry. Through the evaluation, Fang was transferred to the Ministry of Ceremonies as an unentered ambassador. He was not from a noble family and has not yet been married, which is the most appropriate.

So the emperor first learned that Meng Gao's chess skills were not good and was overjoyed. In this way, it became more and more reasonable.

As soon as Meng Gao joined the job, he was informed that he would marry Xiliang's noble daughter, or the marriage. Happiness came so suddenly that his head was so heavy that he was light. Today, with the holy driver came to the Fanglin banquet, it was like stepping on the clouds.

When his soul was not sure, he heard the emperor say in a low voice, "But there are still scholars who don't accept defeat. Are you willing to fight with the princess in the end?"

The children of the nobles under him were full of cold sweat. Unexpectedly, a woman had such extraordinary chess skills. In front of the emperor, the Dalong nobles completely lost face this time.

I saw an official in a green robe bowing his head: "I would like to have a try."

Is it actually a miscellaneous officer below eight grades? The children of the nobles were stunned.

Even Yu was shocked. Yijing still remembers the master who was almost sentenced to death by Shi De, and was very surprised why he came to Fanglin banquet?

"Would you like to compete with our ceremonial officials?" The emperor knows the counselor.

"The little woman is willing." Leyang Langlang responded.
