Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 135 The Qionghua Banquet Game between Emperor and Empress (2)
Zhao Xinyue smiled lightly, her smile was like a ray of wind, or a daisy blooming in the wind, beautiful, lonely and elegant.

"She's my sister." Her eyelashes drooped, her tone was calm and indifferent.

"Will the princess agree?" There was a hint of pleading in her bright eyes.She only hoped that Ling Xihan would win this round, and then use this condition to resolve Ran'er's crisis.

"Sister, you don't ask her." Zhao Xinran has always been proud, and she is already depressed after losing to Ling Xihan today. How can she see her only biological sister bow her head to Ling Xihan?

"Shut up!" Zhao Xinyue lowered her brows, scolded lightly, and then smiled at Ling Xihan: "But I'm not sensible, if there is any offense in the words, please forgive me, Princess."

Looking at her, Ling Xihan felt a big sister's love for her younger sister, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"What do you want to compare?"

Zhao Xinran's eyes lit up, and Ling Xihan agreed by saying so.

"My younger sister is good at martial arts, but I'm the opposite." She smiled slightly, "I have nothing to do, Xinyue only knows how to immerse herself in ancient poetry and music, and doesn't know anything else. If the princess doesn't dislike it, can you give me some pointers?" Every lady is different , This manner of speaking, tone and demeanor all show elegance and nobility.Neither humble nor arrogant.Being so calm, courteous and courteous makes people feel good from the bottom of their hearts.Even Ling Xihan is no exception.

"Okay, if you ask a question, I'll take it up. The old rules, one game determines the outcome."

Zhao Xinran nodded, "I have three couplets here, please enlighten me, Princess." She frowned and thought for a while, then said: "One year old, two springs and two Augusts, the world has two springs and autumns."

"Sixty sixtieth sixties will come again on Sunday, and the world will meet Jiazi again." Ling Xihan blurted out without thinking, which made those talented scholars who were still thinking about couplets stunned.

"The princess is so talented." Zhao Xinyue gave another compliment after being slightly stunned.Staring at a pavilion not far away, "Wangjiang tower, looking at the river flow, watching the river flow from the Wangjiang tower, the river flows through the ages, and the river tower goes through the ages."

"Sai Poetry Stage, Competition Poetry Talent, Competition Poetry Talent Competition on the Sai Shi Stage, Peerless Poetry Talent, Peerless Poetry Stage." Ling Xihan once again easily said the second couplet, which made everyone in the field look sideways.

Zhao Xinyue made a third couplet, "When spring comes to Taihang, I am full of joy, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple." Compared with the previous two couplets, this last couplet is even more difficult.Many people in the field already frowned, trying to think about the second line.

However, Ling Xihan smiled slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Qiu Lin Longmen Le has feelings for piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, poetry, and wine flowers." After the words fell, the venue was once again so quiet that a needle could be heard.Everyone's eyes on Ling Xihan changed again.Admiration, appreciation, and honor.Of course, there is disbelief, jealousy, and consternation...

Zhao Xinyue dimmed her eyes and sighed leisurely.

"The princess has such a peerless talent, but she is submerged in the halo of the three masters of the capital and the two sisters of the Xiangfu. The world is really blind, and they don't recognize such a bright pearl. It's ridiculous that I used to be self-satisfied with the reputation of 'Shuangshu of the Xiangfu' Thinking about it now, it was just a joke." She looked at Ling Xihan with a smile, with admiration and relief in her eyes.

"I lost, let the princess tell me what conditions you have, the little girl is convinced."

Ling Xihan took a deep look at Zhao Xinyue. She has been in this world for so long, except for the queen in her impression.Zhao Xinran was the first woman whom she admired from the bottom of her heart.Such a tolerant and magnanimous woman who is willing to gamble and admit defeat, a loving and righteous woman is really rare.Therefore, her sympathy, which was almost zero, flooded Zhao Xinyue.

"No, you don't have to agree to any conditions. But..." She looked at Zhao Xinran who had been stunned in place since Ling Xihan met Zhao Xinyue for three couplets, as if she had been hit hard and couldn't recover, her eyes slightly cold.

"I will never indulge such a frivolous person." Seeing what Zhao Xinyue wanted to say, Ling Xihan interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said coldly: "Miss Zhao, don't need to be righteous anymore, this princess is not full of sympathy." People are not people who have noble sentiments of repaying grievances with virtue, and they don't care about others' words and criticisms." The corner of her mouth curled up with a sarcasm, "There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity. People should be comfortable and unrestrained in their lives. , do as you please, why bother to go against your own will for those unrealistic reputations? Sorry, this princess is not as magnanimous as Miss Zhao." She suddenly chuckled again, "Of course, Miss Zhao can also say that I have a heart Narrow, small belly."

Zhao Xinyue was stunned, but the queen suddenly laughed.

"There is nothing in the world, and nothing disturbs others. Well said!" The smile on the corner of her mouth was somewhat bitter and desolate. Once upon a time, she was so chic and casual; once upon a time, she was also so arrogant and unruly; once upon a time, she was also open and clear...

But that was all many years ago, and now she has a husband, a son, and a country.She can no longer be as free and easy as before, she has concerns, wandering, and confusion.

Isn't she just mediocre now?

"Luo'er." Emperor Yuan Qing looked at the desolation and fatigue in her eyes, and whispered in pain in his heart.He knew that she should not belong to the gorgeous cage of the palace, she should be a free bird flying high in the blue sky.But for him, she broke her own wings and willingly stayed with him in this palace that would never see the light of day.He likes her casualness, her informality, her brightness, and her bright and joyful smile.

But since when did she no longer have such a moving and beautiful smile on her face.Even though she often smiles, there is a melancholy and loneliness in her eyes that will never be resolved.

Whenever this time, he would feel flustered and fearful, always feeling that one day she would suddenly disappear like a gust of wind.So he wants to imprison her firmly, and he wants her to appear in front of him every moment.Only in this way can he feel at ease.But at this moment, seeing her empty and desolate smile, his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

Such sadness even infected everyone, Ling Xihan raised his eyes and looked over.The smile on the corners of the beautiful woman's mouth is elegant and perfect, and the water-like phoenix eyes are clear and clear, glowing with a moving soft light.But there was a void and sadness in those eyes that could never be filled.She couldn't help but feel a move in her heart, feeling a little sad for that superior woman.

Xiao Tingxuan's body stiffened suddenly, pity and pain filled his empress-like eyes.Ouyang Chen who was opposite him looked at the queen with a dazed and confused expression.

Emperor Yuan Qing's soft call brought the queen back to her senses, she turned her head, met his pitiful and affectionate eyes, and couldn't help smiling slightly, without seeing the vicissitudes of life anymore.

"There are many people and affairs, and the world of mortals is chaotic. No matter how pure and pure a person is, who can be spotless in such an environment?" She smiled at Ling Xihan, "Life is long and short. If you don't go your way, you will live forever in those so-called If you are in the middle of the rules of etiquette and gossip, then it would be a waste of time to come to this world. People in the world are ignorant, always caring about what others think and pretending to be themselves, and even forgetting their original appearance, how sad?" She leaned back and leaned back , with a lazy and charming demeanor.
