Chapter 157 Beautiful and talented, make new friends

The luncheon did not take long. In just half an hour, Gong'e withdrew the dishes, cups and cups and held hot tea and fruits. With the urgency of art, the atmosphere of the banquet became more lively. The empress dowager acquiesced in disturbing the sitting, and there were groups of the usual good noble women to discuss how to choose between piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yu Zhou couldn't help coming to the Yijing banquet and was concerned about her choice of game or poetry this year.

The third prince looked at Yu Zhou's attentive appearance, smiled at Yu and tasted his expression. Unfortunately, the prince has been worried since he saw Zhen Mo attend. At this time, he did not pay attention to his own business. The third prince could not see anything wrong with his face. He was slightly unwilling, and felt that Huang Liu Niang had been looking at him. The eyes returned with a gentle smile.

Jiang Yue, who was beside Huang Liuniang, had already rubbed against the beautiful scenery. She was also the leader for two consecutive years and avoided competing with the beautiful scenery. The year before last, she chose Fuqin. Last year, she chose the game. In this way, this year, there are only two choices of poetry and painting. Among the four arts, Jiang Yue is the worst at painting, but if it is poetry, she has to compete with the beautiful scenery, and she has no success. At this time, she thought about it. If she inquires about the beautiful scenery, she will choose poetry, then she has to bravely compete with others in painting.

"Ajing, just tell me what's the difference this year." Jiang Yue couldn't help asking when she saw that Yu Zhou had abandoned many words and didn't find out.

Yi Jing looked at her with a smile - Jiang Yue is quite competitive. She must have hoped to win the third leader and get the name of a "talented woman". In the last life, she chose poetry. She chose painting and narrowly won. She was very wasted her mind. This time, she is not as light as her better than her poetry.

"I choose the game."

As soon as the voice of the scenery fell, Jiang Yue couldn't help cheering and cheering. Instead, she did not say that her poems were as good as the scenery: "I remember this kindness of Jing."

Originally, the words between the two did not attract the attention of others, but some people laughed--

"A Yue, even if you get the leader this time, what's the use? A father with an official position getting younger and younger, was originally a five-grade soldier, and I don't know what mistake he made, so he dropped to the seventh-grade experience. The more you are, the more talented you are, the more incompetent your father is. An Hui looked sideways and was full of contempt: "In the future, they don't look at your talent. They all consider all about their family background. For example, your fifth sister, who has never been in the capital once, is the eldest daughter of Jianning, and she has still become a prince concubine. As for you, you don't have such a fortune."

This is the second time that An Hui made fun of the official position of the third master of the Houfu. The previous beautiful scene was still unhearted. At this time, when I heard it, I knew that her third uncle had been demoted. I was afraid that Jiang Yue would be embarrassed. I argued with An Hui at the banquet and quickly pulled her aside to comfort her: "You know Ah Hui's temperament. Don't argue with her. She just watched It's just that others are good."

Jiang Yue's joy has collapsed, but he still forced a smile: "I understand, Jing, don't worry." When I lowered my eyes, there was still a trace of gloomy in the bottom of my eyes.

At this time, Huang Liuniang also came over and comforted her cousin: "The third uncle was excluded because he offended the villain. His father has promised to change his death for him, and there will always be a chance of promotion in the future."

Naturally, the boudoirs are not very enthusiastic about the ups and downs of officialdom, and they didn't mention it after two sentences.

He also said that Er Niang had taken the idea of abstaining early. At this time, his attention was on the noble young man opposite him. Three or four princes have already been married and can't think about it. The rest of the princes are still young and have no hope. As for the son of Chu - that's all, although the two nobles are close, he is as talented. Outstanding, I still have this layer of self-knowledge.

Er Niang paid great attention to a jade-robed teenager on the clan seat, who was also about 16 or seven years old. His chin was as steep as a sword, making his two dark eyebrows fly more and more. He has been sitting silently, and occasionally his eyes are like ice, which seems to be arrogant, but it is eye-catching.

Even if there was a charming and handsome as the third prince, and there was an elegant Yu Yu on his side, this teenager still can't be ignored.

Er Niang couldn't help asking the scene: "I don't know which royal palace the Langjun sitting at the head of the clan's seat comes from?"

Er Niang did not have the opportunity to attend the palace banquet before. Except for those in the royal palace, she rarely met other clans. She only guessed that since she was the chief, she should be the descendants of the prince's mansion. She did not think about it carefully. Several princes are the most trusted in the royal palace. Even the legitimate son of King Kang can't cross Yu's seat.

Yijing didn't know Er Niang's calculation. She sighed helplessly and said with a smile, "That man, we have to call our cousin. It's the Prince of Yangquan."

Er Niang suddenly became discouraged.

It turned out to be an elder, no wonder he was ranked first among the clan.

The other clans at the table were still childish teenagers, so the second mother had to focus on the group of nobles and courtiers.

Of course, the beautiful people who look forward to it are not the second mother. Many noble girls, especially those who properly discuss marriage, are also restless at this time.

Most people have seen the son of the king of Chu for the first time, and they have heard that he has "cured". Many people are impressed by his elegant demeanor and secretly send autumn waves, but they are also very sorry - among the discussions between the parents in the family, they all say that the son of the king of Chu is very loved by the emperor and the empress dowager. I am afraid that the empress dowager will be selected by herself, and ordinary people may not dare to Xiao thought.

There are also noble daughters who know that the third prince "there is a master" and boldly send autumn waves frequently. They are all a little frustrated without receiving a response.

At this time, the internal supervisor has sent a "qin card" - the third prince is the judge, so the noble women who chose the piano art this season are more enthusiastic, especially those with slightly lower official positions who have not given up the side concubine.

Liu Niang came forward and asked Yingjing in a low voice, "Sister, do you know who judges poetry? I guess, will it be Shatin?

Yi Jing knew that Liu Niang's worship of Yu Yu had reached its peak, and nodded with a smile. When she saw the colorful eyes of Liu Niang, she knew that she was going to choose poetry.

Only after experiencing the previous life, she knows what the Empress Dowager would have. According to the temperament and age of Liu Niang, it seems a little reluctant to write well. She is not happy about spring and sad autumn, and is better at the "unrelent" faction. She should not be able to defeat Jiang Yue, who is full of reading the dialects and is good at the "euphemistic" school.

However, I know that Liu Niang is not trying to be competitive, and she only follows her.

But suddenly felt that compared with Liu Niang's hot eyes, he stared at the distance and meditated, as if he was worried about Yu.

Yi Jing has had several relationships with the girl, and she is the sister of Qin Sanniang, the quasi-four imperial concubine.

Qin Qiniang and Liu Niang should be of average age, and this is still a fashionable girl over ten years old.

Yijing helped her forehead - in this life, there were many talented people for Sha Tinke, which seemed a little strange. Then I couldn't help but wonder why Brother Yuan was worried?

Without waiting for the piano art to decide the winner, the servant held the "bamboo card" of the other three arts. Everyone chose one by one and went to show the director one by one.

Yi Jing noticed that Qin Qiniang really chose "poetry" and seemed to look at their sisters provocatively.

The judgment of chess art is the crown princess, so in the first game, Yijing and Si Niang became "sisters".

The two respected each other and never had mercy. They fought for half an hour before they could win or lose. They narrowly won the scenery and entered the next round of catching and comparison.

"It is said that Ajing's four skills are excellent, and it really lives up to its reputation."

After three rounds of fighting, the two finally won the battle, and the princess said coldly.

Yi Jing hurriedly and modestly: "It's just luck." Looking up at his opponent, he seemed to have a good face... After searching in my memory, I remembered that it was the little lady who was made difficult to dance at the Xiapuyuan party - as if it was called Xiao Man. I couldn't help remember that Yu Yu secretly helped her at that time to relieve her embarrassing situation, and my mind moved slightly.

Compared with paintings and poems, which need to be completed in an isolated space, the game allows everyone to watch, especially the decisive game, which has attracted many Lang Jun to watch the battle. Jin Qilang and Yuzhou have become "enemy", and no matter what the beautiful scenery and Xiao Man are, their two fans have long become "angry eyes".

The crown princess looked at Yu Zhou's expression and thought - the queen was very worried that Su's fifth mother would also marry into the royal family in the future. Seeing that the empress dowager's love for her, it was not impossible. Maybe she could match her and Yu Erlang... Since the marriage with the Duke of Wei had failed, she could not watch the prince next to her get this. Help.

Jin Xiang's favorite "granddaughter-in-law" chose Han's wife. Today, she chose Biqin. At this time, she had finished the display. She looked up and saw Jin Qilang and quickly found her. However, when she saw that "Ruyi Langjun" was on the united front with his "child sweetheart", she was so angry that she gritted her teeth to watch the war situation and cursed. Xiao Man "dead in battle".

To be fair, Xiao Man's chess style is very stable. If it hadn't been for a lifetime, he would have been pointed out by Yu Wei. At this time, he was indeed not an opponent.

But at this time, the chess skills of the scenery were no longer as good as before. The layout was step by step, and the competition was fierce and decisive. Half an hour later, it finally forced Xiao Man to abandon his son to admit defeat.

"Ajing won the first place again this year, and the Empress Dowager will be gratified to learn about it." The princess said another cool sentence. Of course, no one else noticed the coolness in the context except the scenery.

The winner is divided, and the princess left the scene to return to the empress dowager.

Mrs. Han finally had a chance to say after holding back the ridicing for a long time, and snorted coldly: "I can't measure my strength."

Yi Jing praised Xiao Man very much: "A Man's chess skills are really good, and I won the blessing." He simply pulled her aside to "communication".

Yu Zhou subconsciously wanted to follow up, but was held back by Jin Qilang unwillingly: "Let's also take advantage of the fun to fight for a game. Whoever loses will invite a seat. How about the four treasures in Ping'an Square? We agreed to have twelve large plates and full of wine and pipes."

Yu Zhou had no choice but to fight.

However, she said beautiful scenery. Since she paid attention to Yu's "hero to save beauty" and heard Zhen Mo talk about the "enity" between Xiao Man and Han's wife, she guessed that Yu's behavior should be to disturb the marriage between the alloy family and the Han family. She had long suspected that the saint had a completely opposite choice between the two in this life, and thought of Yu Yu's article "Feng Fu", and The emperor's faith in it made bold guesses - or was it Yu Yu who changed the emperor's decision?

There was another side evidence about Xiao Man, and the scenery was a little more determined.

She intends to make friends with Xiao Man in order to secretly help Yu Wei's plan.

The two girls started from chess. Because of the good scenery, they actually made Xiao Man feel sorry for each other - although her father is in the general affairs department, his grade is not very high. Although the family is a famous family, it is not prominent. Since her aunt married the Jin family as a stepmother, the boat has risen, even so. , has also been repeatedly ignored by nobles and Wang's daughters.

Xiao Man was very surprised by the " approachable" of the scenery.

The two talked all the way until the palace people came to invite them, saying that the leaders of the four arts came out, but they were still not satisfied.

"Today, I and Aman are really 'no fight and don't know each other'. It's the same at first sight." Jingjing smiled and said, "We can get closer in the future."

Xiao Man was full of promise and agreed to have frequent contact with the scenery.
