Poison Doctor Prince Concubine

Chapter 239
To be honest, this red peony gold hairpin with golden light is luxurious but not ostentatious, precious but not bulky, exquisite and elegant, it is really rare, it is indeed a good hairpin.

When the five princesses came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, they couldn't help showing deep jealousy when they saw the peony gold hairpin on An Qingran's head.

It's just that people in the palace, none of them are simple roles.

Although she was jealous that An Qingran got a good hairpin from the queen mother, she would not show it in person, and still smiled at An Qingran.

"Grandmother, Brother Jing's bride is very good-looking, and she matches Brother Jing very well."

While speaking, she smiled sweetly at An Qingran.

"Hi sister-in-law, my name is Zuo Xueyue, and I'm ranked fifth. Sister-in-law can call me little five, or Xueyue."

An Qingran knew this custom of meeting, after the introduction of the fifth princess, An Qingran immediately took off a peony bracelet from her hand and slipped it into the wrist of the fifth princess Zuo Xueyue.

"Princess Xueyue, sister-in-law here is in a hurry, and there is nothing to give when we meet for the first time. Seeing that you and Peony are very suitable, I will give you this bracelet."

The peony gold hairpin on the bun was a gift from the Empress Dowager, An Qingran would not pass this on to others.

Although she knew that this was what the princess liked, An Qingran didn't intend to give away her grandmother's love.

So she gave the peony bracelet in her hand to the fifth princess Zuo Xueyue.

To be honest, An Qingran didn't like this gorgeous and expensive peony bracelet.

But it's time for Yunfei to dress up today, and today she is not allowed to come according to her preferences, she has to come according to her status as the concubine.

That's why An Qingran reluctantly put it on.

Of course, it was fortunate that she had worn it, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to present any valuable ornaments to the Fifth Princess Zuo Xueyue as a meeting gift.

After all, if you don't make a move, if you make a move, it has to be equal to the value of the hairpin on the bun.

If not, the princess would still be unfair.

Not anymore now, it seems that the fifth princess likes An Qingran's meeting ceremony very much, and she thanked An Qingran happily.

"Or sister-in-law knows that she loves me, grandma, is it good-looking?"

She put it on and showed it off in front of the empress dowager.

The empress dowager glanced at An Qingran with satisfaction, then smiled and said to the fifth princess: "Looks good, the thing your sister-in-law gave you is from the No. It's for your share. It can be seen that you Souzi really love you, and grandma will be jealous."

"Grandmother's vision is still as good as ever."

Knowing that it was so special and that she was the only one, Fifth Princess Zuo Xueyue felt even happier.

At this time, she had really forgotten the previous jealousy, and An Qingran was quite pleasing to the eye.

And at this time, the Fourth Prince Zuo Yu also came over. He came to tell the Queen Mother that the Peony Festival had begun.

"Grandmother, the father and the queen asked the sons and ministers to come and invite the grandmother. The mother said that if the grandmother didn't get a prize from the peony festival first, the father, the queen and other mothers and concubines would not be able to get it first. Of course. Even the grandchildren dare not be one step ahead of their grandmother."

"Understood, you children know how to dig things from grandma one by one. Grandma, there are really fewer and fewer good things here."

"However, I'm so happy today. Since your father and queen mother said so, then grandma will give you a headshot. Nanny Gui, take out the pair of emeralds inside, as the prize for winning the first place this time. "

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Gui Momo got a hint from the Empress Dowager, took out a pair of mandarin ducks and emerald jade pendants, and put them on the gift tray brought by the Fourth Prince Zuo Yu.

"Yu'er, it's all right now, you can go back to work. Grandmother is here, talking to these juniors, and I will go there later." The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"The grandson knows, then the grandson will go over and tell the father and the queen."

The fourth prince Zuo Yu, who had finished his errands, went to the front hall with the gift plate.

The empress dowager held Su Yanjing with one hand, and the fifth princess Zuo Xueyue with the other, and then chatted about homework.

An Qingran sat below without saying a word, just listening quietly, watching Su Yanjing tell the fifth princess all kinds of jokes to amuse the queen mother.

Of course, this homely chat only lasted half an hour for entertainment.

Soon someone came to urge Su Yanjing again, who called Su Yanjing the judge of this peony event.

The first competition event of this peony festival, the poetry competition with the theme of peony has already started, how could Su Yanjing, the judge, be absent.

"Grandma, it seems that Yan Jing can't continue to chat with grandma, Yan Jing has to go there first, and after the evaluation is over, Yan Jing will come over and continue to accompany grandma."

Su Yanjing shook the Empress Dowager's hand, and the Empress Dowager smiled.

"Since it has already started, how can I let you go to watch the fun alone, and grandma has to go to join in the fun."

While speaking, the empress dowager stood up, and the fifth princess and Su Yanjing, who were beside her, supported the empress dowager as they walked.

An Qingran was naturally at the back, smiling all the way, and the etiquette was very standard.

The empress dowager, who turned her head and glanced unintentionally, was even more satisfied seeing this.

This granddaughter-in-law is really good. She knows what to do on what occasion.

A person who can see clearly at any time will see his position clearly and know how to relax. In this regard, this granddaughter-in-law has done very well.

Thinking about it, the empress dowager felt more and more that she had made the right decision.

With such a grandson and daughter-in-law helping her grandson, she really doesn't have to worry about anything.

When we arrived at the front hall, someone would naturally arrange a seat for the Empress Dowager.

An Qingran and the fifth princess Zuo Xueyue were at the side of the empress dowager at this time, while Su Yanjing went to the judges' seat.

At this time, the first competition of this peony festival is in full swing to write poems on peony.

This competition is limited to the time of one stick of incense, and the daughters of the various families have to use their talents and learning to write poems on the spread rice paper.

Of course, on such an occasion, Gu Mochi, who was already famous for his talent and learning, naturally wrote a poem.

He was the first one to complete the peony poem he submitted, and An Qingran was lucky enough to have a few glances at the empress dowager.

The letter: I haven't seen the small garden flower for ten years, and the purple calyx is about to bloom, and it's another home.Get on the horse and go out to think about when you will get Jinghua.

After reading it, An Qingran didn't feel anything.

But the empress dowager and the fifth princess Zuo Xueyue beside her were all praises.

Among the more than ten chapters of poems delivered next, there is only one poem: "At first glance, it is strange that Xia is here, and he is still suspicious."Go around in shock, red in red, move to sit and feel red in clothes.This song is not bad.

But in the end, there was no match for Gu Mochi's song, and it turned out that Gu Mochi won the first place on the men's side.

Similarly, on the woman's side, Gu Tiantian from Pingyang Hou's Mansion took the top spot.

Her poem is quite similar to Gu Mochi's.

The letter: This year, the Dongfeng is cleverly tailored, and the affection is only waiting for the envoy to come.Speechless about flowers, flowers should be hated, I'm afraid they won't bloom next year.

Therefore, as another song, the one by Shen Yuechan, the daughter of the minister of rites, seems a little less artistic than the one by Gu Tiantian.

Shen Yuechan's poem is written like this: Don't be jealous of the new bride in the boudoir, but be ashamed of Fu Fenlang in the moshang.Last night, the moonlight was as muddy as water, and the only thing I could feel was the fragrance of the garden when I entered.

In this way, it can only be ranked second.

Naturally, the two talents of calligraphy and painting will be performed at the same time. On the men's side, calligraphy and painting have their own preferences.

However, Gu Mochi still won the first place in the end, Su Wenjin, the eldest grandson of Imperial Physician Su, was second, and Xingxinghe, the eldest grandson of Duke Wei's mansion, was third.

This Xingxinghe got the third place in the category of calligraphy and painting, which surprised An Qingran.

It was not a surprise that he won the award, but that he stopped hiding his talent.

This Xingxinghe has always been the first representative of the dudes in the capital, which family respect did not use Xingxinghe as a bad example to warn the children in the family, so he won the third place, which made all the people present fall even worse than Gu Mochi's winning the first place Broken glasses.

It could be regarded as causing a commotion, and several disciples pointed out that Wei Xinghe had gone through the back door.

In this way, Su Yanjing decided to place the calligraphy and painting of Xingxing River publicly, so that the children of all participating families would send the calligraphy and painting of Xingxing River that they had seen.

Of course, after seeing Xingxinghe's paintings and calligraphy, the former disciples who were clamoring for unfairness stopped talking one by one.

As for women, the top three in calligraphy and painting are not controversial.

The first is Jiang Manting, the daughter of the Minister of War, the second is Zuo Mingyue, the princess of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the third is Gu Tiantian of Pingyang Hou Mansion.

But to be honest, although there is no controversy about the top three women's calligraphy and painting, there is still a reason.

According to the usual rules, Zuo Mingyue should have won the first place in this evaluation. Her first-hand Plum Blossom lowercase script and pictures of rural scenery have won everyone's praise.

But because An Qingran admired Jiang Manting's calligraphy and painting more, the galloping horse, heroic posture, writing a book, the iron hook piercing the back of the paper, watching the sharp edge on the back, the blood boiled.

So I don't know if An Qingran said a good word with Jiang Manting's painting, or because she has been looking at this painting for a long time.

So much so that Su Yanjing, who was on the judges' table, noticed it, so when it came to the final selection, Su Yanjing directly ordered Jiang Manting's painting to be the first.

He even convinced the judges on his left and right sides, so that Jiang Manting won the first place.

Of course, after the calligraphy and painting competition came out, An Qingran arranged for Dong Lan, who was beside Su Yanjing to take care of him, to secretly come and tell her about it.

In this way, An Qingran never judged anyone again in the next two talent competitions of piano and chess.

She was worried that because of her preferences, Su Yanjing would act according to her preferences again, which would be unfair to the other contestants.
