Chapter 79
Xiao Ning thought about her past these days, she was indeed too amazing.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about the poetry meeting between Jia and the princess.She refuted a young man from a scholarly family until she was speechless. Even without Chu Ying's help, she would have won that match, as long as anyone with eyes and brains could see it.

After secretly inquiring, Xiao Ning also knew that the selection of this talented woman was selected by the supervisors of the Imperial College and several supervisors.

The poems, couplets, and various articles written by the daughters this year will be sent to them anonymously for review.The poems that were sent up were all copied by others, so as to prevent those supervisors from favoring something by reading handwriting. It is because there are people from the Imperial College to check, that it seems that the talented women every year really deserve their names.

Xiao Wanying has won the top spot for three consecutive years, which shows that her literary talent in Beijing is better than all boudoir daughters.

"Isn't it just the flower festival, it's all for fun, it's okay to go and see it." Xiao Ning whispered indifferently, but a smile was already shining in his eyes.

Since it is a flower festival, there must be flowers.

Xiao Ning thought that he could see all kinds of flowers, but he didn't expect it was just a cold palace road with two rows of long tables spreading from the street to the end of the street.The top is covered with snow-white rice paper, and the pen and ink are put aside, allowing talented scholars and daughters to write.

The fight for this talented woman has already been decided, but some daughters still refuse to admit defeat.He thinks he is talented, better than thousands of boudoir girls.

In order to appease the nonsense of these savage daughters, a certain prison officer ordered that rice paper be spread on both sides of the palace road every year at the Flower Festival, and let the daughters write poems.If more than a hundred people approve, the poem will be sent to the Imperial Academy for another round of evaluation.

But since the establishment of this rule, no daughter has won the approval of more than a hundred people.

But even so, there will still be many daughters without self-knowledge who want to write self-conceited poems on the rice paper.Gradually, Gongzicai and others also participated in it, turning this petty behavior into an exchange.

Xiao Ning looked at those people who wrote poems, and couldn't help but sigh that there is no reason for the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.When there are more people who can read and write, there will be more smart people, and if there are more smart people, the national policy will naturally be smarter.

"Boom!" A gong sounded, and the crowd fell silent for an instant.

A person slowly walked out from the high platform.

The time has come, Princess Jiahe appeared to preside over the overall situation.

Today's Princess Jiahe has a clear face, wearing a white butterfly dress with a flowery water flow, and a green hairpin with blue light gently holding her hair, her skin is as white as snow.

Standing majestically on the high platform, it is like an immortal descended from heaven.

Xiao Ning was startled, none of the Jiahe princesses she had met before had such a dignified style.

"The world is peaceful and the people are safe and healthy. All the sons and daughters are going to solve the problem together today. I am here in this palace. I wish you all the best in the coming year." Princess Jiahe said loudly, nodding her head slightly.

She stood on the high platform and bowed her head, her posture was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess! May my country prosper, and may the emperor live forever!"

The sons and daughters shouted in unison.

The silk and bamboo played, and more than a dozen dancers walked out from the left and right sides of the high platform. They walked alternately, found their positions in a strange way, and danced gracefully.

Xiao Ning was not interested in the singing and dancing performance at the beginning, and secretly looked left and right to see if the person he least wanted to see came.

"Your sister is looking around, isn't she looking for a lover?"

Thinking of the bitter and mean voice, he smiled sarcasticly: "What did cousin Qi'er say? You must have forgotten that cousin Ning'er has already recruited a son-in-law."

"That's right, even if you have a husband and son-in-law, why don't you bring her with you. Every time my younger sister travels, she is a widow. If you don't know, you may think that she has not left the cabinet, or she is a widow." Xiao Qi covered her mouth and laughed. , Yinling laughed with a cold sting.

Xiao Wanying was also smiling, and walked in front of Xiao Ning: "Cousin Ning'er, don't mind, our sister's family is just joking with each other, and I would never say that in front of outsiders. Your lord has a lot, but don't Take it to heart.

"The cousin's words are out of the question. In the past, there was no joke between the three of us, so we need to ask for forgiveness." "Xiao Qi's brows were full of joy, and she smiled on the surface.

The two sang together, and the coordination was just right.

Xiao Ning has long been used to this, if she cares about it, she will appear narrow-minded, they shed a few tears in front of people to be wronged and pretend to be pitiful, and everyone will accuse her of bullying when they see it.

But if you don't care about it, it's just letting them play their mouths and get complacent in vain.

"Lao Song, why hasn't the ice cream been delivered yet?" Xiao Ning ignored the two people in front of him, turned around and asked Lao Song who came with him.

Song Ading pointed behind him, and said with a smile: "It has been delivered a long time ago, and the servants are distributing it. The kindness of the eldest lady will definitely be delivered to the hands of all the rich talents."

Xiao Ning nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, did you hear a dog barking? It's very annoying, let's find a quiet place and sit down first."

She turned around and left, as if she didn't see Xiao Qi and Xiao Wanying.

To be defiant is the highest form of contempt.

The stage was directly demolished, and the two singers naturally turned pale.

"It's just that I made a lot of bad money! I really think of myself as a dish!" Xiao Qi was furious, and cursed at Xiao Ning's back, her voice was so loud that everyone around could hear her.

Xiao Wanying rolled her eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Cousin Qier, don't be angry, you are a sister, we can't lose our status. She doesn't know what's good or bad, and she doesn't have bad intentions. That's all."

These words seem to be persuading, but in fact they add fuel to the fire.

"Identity! If she knows her identity, she should invite me to the table! Serve that ice cream to me with both hands!" Xiao Qi became more and more angry. As a sister, if she didn't receive courtesy, it would be like splashing dirty water on her face.

The corners of Xiao Wanying's mouth raised slightly, but her brows were frowned: "If you want me to say, as long as cousin Qi'er speaks, she will not respond. But go and see so many people here, how dare she not speak in front of everyone?" Give Cousin Qier face, no matter what, you are also a sister."

A sentence of being a sister is like a flame thrown into an angry oil field.

"Yeah, I'm an older sister, so it's her turn to be presumptuous!" Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with fire, "Especially in front of people!"

At this point, the singing and dancing was over, and Princess Jiahe announced who was the number one talented woman in Kyoto this year.Xiao Wanying knew that she had no chance of winning, but she didn't want to just make Xiao Ning proud.

Since she couldn't kill a thousand enemies, she would rather damage herself by eight hundred than destroy a hundred enemies.

On the high platform, Princess Jiahe unfolded the bright yellow scroll.

This edict announcing talented women was drafted and stamped by the emperor himself. This was to promote the writing style of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also to cultivate women from good families and boudoirs, so as to better educate the next generation.

Parents are talented, and the children born will not be bad. Even if the talents are dull, they will not be foolish and ignorant under the influence of a good family education.

Xiao Ning heard what Song Ading said, and suddenly realized that the emperor really had great foresight.

"This year's talented girl, here is the book! Everyone, please read it." Princess Jiahe was not in a hurry to read the imperial decree, but read the scroll before asking the eunuch to display the winner's work.

Two eunuchs lifted a red sandalwood frame, a scroll was erected horizontally, and the red rope was untied lightly.The scroll fell down like a waterfall, and the clear and small characters on it were as shocking as a dragon.

Everyone gasped, and there was a sound of astonishment in the field.
