Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 278 Choose, Stand in Line

Hearing that Mu Tingting said that she wanted to compose a poem, Ruan Mingyue said gently, "The garden at Sister Li's house is indeed so beautiful that it is so beautiful. My sisters might as well recite poems and make paintings. Mingyue is so talented and ignorant, but my sisters compliment her."

What Ruan Mingyue said is also the modest demeanor of the ladies. Ruan Mingyue is quite famous in the capital, although Xiao Li doesn't know what happened, but the ladies who spread the news must have real materials. Flattery.

"Sister Ruan has the reputation of being the most talented woman in the capital. Last year, the Empress's chrysanthemum appreciation feast surprised everyone with a poem on chrysanthemums. The Empress even praised you as a role model. If my sister is more modest, she will be fooling us." Mu Tingting is lively and outgoing, probably because she has heard Ruan Mingyue's poems and admired Ruan Mingyue very much.

The empress personally praised her as a model of women, which is undoubtedly covered with gold, even if it is not, you can't say no, dare you say that the empress is wrong.

Ruan Mingyue glanced at Mu Tingting with a smile. The rules of a lady made her unable to make other actions and expressions, so this expression represented that she accepted Mu Tingting's praise graciously.

Among these girls, Ruan Mingyue is the daughter-in-law of Duke An's mansion, and only Ling Ruyu from Duke Ding's mansion is comparable to her. Ruan Mingyue agreed to recite poems and paint, and naturally no one objected if Ling Ruyu didn't open her mouth. .

Li Ruolan ordered people to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study.

Ling Ruyu said at this time: "Sisters want to compose poetry, but Ruyu is not good at it. Ruyu can just draw a picture of a hundred flowers blooming to join in the fun."

Ling Ruyu was very arrogant. Although she said she was reciting poems and painting, what Mu Tingting mentioned was writing poems, let alone for comparison with Ruan Mingyue.But she proposed to paint, which meant that she would not be in the same boat as everyone else.

However, these noble ladies have the highest status, and sister Li Ruolan has no reason to stop the guests.Ruan Mingyue didn't say anything, and everyone had nothing to say.

But Ling Ruyu doesn't fit in with the group by herself and wants to attract others.

"This is Miss Li's cousin. I don't know if this lady wants to write poems or paintings?" This sentence is a difficult multiple-choice question. Poetry is to offend Ling Ruyu, and painting may offend Ruan Mingyue and Mu Tingting. .What's more, even if you don't hesitate to offend one party by reciting poems and painting, you still have to be good at it.

But it happened that Miss Ling Ruyu chose Miss Qiao Nongyun, who was held in the palm of the hand by the old lady Cui, who was not very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood.

Miss Qiao turned pale at the time, not because she recognized the multiple-choice questions, but because she knew neither of them.

Qiao Nongyun looked at Ling Ruyu with reddish eye circles, and then looked at Xiao Li as if asking for help.

Xiao Li was very confused. Miss Qiao had cousins ​​Li Ruolan and Li Ruofang who didn't ask for help, but came to her instead. Could it be that she really thought that Xiao Li would be responsible for her troubles after Mrs. Cui told her to take care of her.

And without waiting for Xiao Li to say anything, Xiao Lianhua had already made a quick choice.

"Miss Ling has no one to accompany her when she paints. Lianhua doesn't have much experience in painting, but she is willing to learn painting skills from Miss Ling."

This is an opportunist, and his ability to see through stitches is not bad.

Xiao Lianhua was not considered stupid, she could still understand Ling Ruyu's words, and let the girls present choose to stand in line.Obviously Ling Ruyu took Ruan Mingyue as an imaginary enemy, and the two of them were divided into two teams.

Xiao Lianhua thought that even if she didn't say anything, she would be considered to be on Ruan Mingyue's side. Offending Ling Ruyue, she might not be remembered by Ruan Mingyue.But the team that took refuge in Ling Ruyu was different, the first one to stand here, Ling Ruyu must remember her.

However, it is clear that this idea is foolish.

Xiao Lianhua didn't think she was a concubine, and now because the compensation from the general's mansion was even higher than Xiao Li's at home, this made her always have a sense of superiority over Xiao Li, this feeling Make her forget who she is.

Just because she forgot her own identity doesn't mean that others have also forgotten her.

Not only was Ling Ruyu not happy because of her help, but she immediately darkened her face, and glared at Xiao Lianhua fiercely and reprimanded: "This lady is talking to Miss Li's cousin, what is your status, and you dare to take what this lady says casually? A concubine can't get on the stage."

Ling Ruyu's words were like a slap on Xiao Lianhua's face, Xiao Lianhua was reprimanded and froze on the spot, not knowing how to react, her face was flushed and she wanted to get angry, but she didn't dare.

Ling Ruyu is the eldest daughter of Dingguo's mansion, and asking a concubine to help her is to compare her with a concubine, which naturally makes her quite unhappy.Xiao Lianhua had never been ridiculed like this since she was a child, but she dared not offend Ling Ruyu no matter what, so she could only swallow her anger.

Ling Ruyu glared at Xiao Lianhua fiercely, then turned her head and continued to look at Qiao Nongyun, obviously not planning to let her go.

Now it's Qiao Nongyun's turn to be in a dilemma. If he says he doesn't know anything, he will be ridiculed by the ladies. If he says he can't paint, he will offend Ling Ruyu. If he paints, he will be ashamed. It's a dilemma. .

At this moment, Xiao Li groaned, bent his knees and squatted on the ground, covering his ankle with his right hand.

Sister Li Ruolan hurried forward to ask.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Xiao Li pretended to be embarrassed and smiled at Sister Li Ruolan.

"Forgive me, Cousin. A Li just saw a butterfly lost his mind in the flowers. He didn't check it for a while, twisted his foot, and now it's very painful. I think it's because A Li is stupid. How can there be butterflies in this winter." With a pained look on his face.

Li Ruolan and Li Ruofang are also smart people, at this moment they understood that she did it on purpose, and they were happy to cooperate.

"Cousin Qiao, Ah Li has sprained her foot, can I trouble Cousin Qiao to take her to your cloud pavilion to rest for a while." Qiao Nongyun's cloud pavilion is the closest to the garden, so it is most appropriate to say that.Li Ruolan asked gently, the noble ladies naturally understood the twists and turns, no one said anything.

Ling Ruyu was dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't stop it, so she could only remember this grievance.

Seeing this, Qiao Nongyun was even more delighted, and hurried over to help Xiao Li, the two bid farewell to everyone, and went to Yunge with the maid.

Leaving the garden, where no one could see, Xiao Li quickly broke free from Qiao Nongyun's support.

"Cousin don't need to help, A Li is fine." She smiled at Qiao Nongyun as she said that, she helped Qiao Nongyun get away not because of Cui Shi's advice.

But she didn't want to stay in such an occasion for a long time. Now someone is making trouble for Qiao Nongyun, and if someone makes things difficult for her later, it will be a headache.

Famous girls are not easy to mess with, so just hide away.

Xiao Lianhua suffered from Ling Ruyu's loss but still didn't wink at her. She didn't know that she would leave with her, there was no other way.Just hope that she will find trouble for herself, and don't lose the Xiao family's face.

"Just now, thank you sister, if it wasn't for my sister, I really don't know what to do." After speaking, the eye circles were red again, Qiao Nongyun's personality of crying from time to time really made Xiao Li very helpless.

"Cousin, don't cry, Ah Li doesn't know how to paint and write poems, so she just wanted to come out to let the wind out." I can only comfort her like this, let her continue to cry, and when the servants of Shangshufu see it, they can't think it's her Bully Qiao Biao girl.

Qiao Nongyun didn't know Xiao Li's background, but felt that if Xiao Li couldn't call and paint, he wouldn't be so pitiful.
