With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 104

On Su Junning's side, she also quietly observed the expression of the queen, the instigator.

Seeing the wonderful changes on the Queen's face, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she picked up the silver cup in front of her and sipped the rose wine in a good mood.

Su Zhi, who was sitting next to her, saw that she was very relaxed, but he felt a little bit puzzled.

When he had just finished writing the poem and returned to his seat, his face was still heavy, why did he feel elated now.

But no matter what, the final decision is still in the hands of the middle-aged man in the dragon robe.

So everyone is staring at Emperor Jianning with a good look at the moment.

"I really underestimated you young people, you really gave me many surprises!"

After Emperor Jianning made his final judgment, he swept across the audience with joy on his face, and finally his eyes fell on Su Junning.

But without saying anything, he took it back and waved to Wang Lianyi with a smile.

The latter understood, immediately took a step forward, and announced the ranking of the competition aloud.

"The third poem is Xu Sini, the daughter of Duke Rui!"

With the first shout, Xu Sini, who was sitting in the banquet, trembled, her face was gray, her pupils constricted, and her hand hidden in her sleeve suddenly grabbed her palm.

No.3, isn't it even No.2?

With this voice echoing in her mind, Xu Sini's figure became more and more wobbly, feeling quite shaky.

Xie who was sitting next to her quickly tugged at her arm, in order to bring back Xu Sini's sanity.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lianyi's shrill voice was heard shouting again.

"Second Poetry, Rong Guogong's son Li Yuheng!"

After hearing this name, Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Xu Sini.

It's okay for a man, it's not ashamed to lose to a man, both mother and daughter think so.

Li Yuheng, the eldest son of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, was originally famous for his talent, and it was expected that his poems ranked in the top three, but at the same time, everyone became more curious about the candidate for the top poem.

Who is it that can win the laurel crown against the son of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, who can be called the number one talent in Bianjing?

"It should be the son of some family. The eldest son of the Su family, Su Yuxuan, has a brilliant literary talent, and the son of the Jingchang Hou Mansion is not bad either."

"Yes, the son of Ruiguo Duke's Mansion is also very powerful, and there is also the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

The people below started talking.

But basically everyone felt that the one who could surpass Li Yuheng must be a man.

"I'd like to see who is better at writing than my brother." Li Lingxi snorted softly.

Squinting his winking eyes, pricking up his ears, he stared at Wang Lianyi who was reciting the ranking.

Although Li Lingxi herself is not considered outstanding in literary talent, she is very confident in her brother's talent. She did not expect that there would be someone better than her brother, and she was quite dissatisfied.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Wang Lianyi played a trick, and what he said next was not the first name of poetry, but the second and third names of calligraphy.

"Calligraphy number three, Zuodu Yushi's legitimate son, Su Yuxuan!"

"Calligraphy number two, Rong Guogong's son, Li Yuheng!"

After reading these two rankings, everyone couldn't help but start admiring that Li Yuheng lived up to the title of Bianjing's number one talent.

Although poetry and calligraphy are not number one, both are No.2, which is very rare.

But also because of this, everyone's expectations for No.1 are getting higher and higher, who can beat this great talent and win the first place.

The same is true of Li Yuheng himself.

Calligraphy is nothing more than poetry. He really wants to know who won him in the most kung fu competition like poetry.

"Father, please don't let the prince be fooled. Who is the first name of this poem and calligraphy? Come and tell us."

King Jin smiled and spoke out his heart for everyone present.

The crown prince also echoed, "That's right, my father, my sons and others are really curious, who is better than Li Shizi in this poem."

At this moment, Su Junning closed her eyes silently, bowing to Poet Li in her heart.

On the main seat, Emperor Jianning also had a deep smile on his face.

After sweeping his eyes across the crowd in the hall, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Poetry first, Su Junning, calligraphy first, Xu Sini!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the field.

Unexpectedly, the two firsts were both women.

Calligraphy is nothing more than that, the number one in poetry, surpassing Li Yuheng, the number one talent in Bianjing, is actually Su Junning.

Immediately, countless eyes gathered over in an instant, looking at this girl who was praised by the emperor for her superb piano skills and excellent calligraphy when the banquet just started, and now she won the laurel of the poetry competition.

Su Junning is wearing a crimson cloud goose fine embroidered poppy flower fairy dress today, with a long happy bun, a set of amethyst long fringed hair, and a thin layer of powder. She looks delicate and pure with a bit of charm.

Perhaps it was the bonus of the title of No. [-] in poetry, or the charm cultivated in the scholarly family. When everyone looked at this girl, besides her beauty, she also had a leisurely and elegant scholarly atmosphere.

Since ancient times, talented men love beauties, and they love talented and beautiful beauties even more. At this moment, I don't know how many young men have their hearts moved.

Su Junning stood up dignifiedly and gracefully, ignoring all the gazes, and smiled and saluted Shi Shiran, who was looking up to Emperor Jianning.

"Thanks to the emperor's praise, the courtiers are overjoyed and deeply impressed."

Compared with her generosity, Xu Sini, whose mental state has improved a little because of winning the first place in calligraphy, seems a little out of control.

This is also a very pretty face, but at the moment it is stiff everywhere, the eyes are empty, the complexion is a little pale, and the lips are bloodless, as if they have suffered some blow.

Of course, Su Junning won the first place in poetry, which was the biggest blow to her.

Just now when Emperor Jianning announced the rankings of his poems, Xu Sini felt as if struck by lightning, the blood in his whole body froze and froze in an instant, and emotions of unwillingness and disbelief crazily grew from the bottom of his heart, sweeping his whole body, even his fingers were stiff.

She lost to Li Yuheng, she admitted, but why would Su Junning win against her.

Obviously she had prepared and pondered for a long time in advance, but Su Junning only pondered for half an hour, how could she win against her casually.

At that moment, Xu Sini even felt that Su Junning was an insurmountable gully for her.

She overwhelmed her in the piano skills she is most proud of, and easily won in the poems she prepared carefully for many days with a well-thought-out plan. Even Su Junning and Shen Qianwei have only known each other for half a year, and they are so close that even Yan Shi All like her.

It seems that the appearance of Su Junning broke the balance of Xu Sini's entire world.

"Si Ni, Si Ni?" Empress Xu's voice pierced through layers of thoughts, resounding in Xu Sini's ears little by little.

Mrs. Xie quickly pinched her daughter, and Xu Sini's eyes regained some light from the dull pain.

"You are number one in calligraphy, don't hurry up and thank you, the emperor has rewarded you." Empress Xu tried her best to be calm and gentle.

But if you look closely at her expression, you can still find something strange.

Only then did Xu Sini twitch the corners of her mouth, trying to show a smile that was uglier than crying.

"My daughter, thank you, Majesty Long En."
