First Class Concubine

Chapter 65
"Competition painting!?" Qi Jing leaned back in the chair, squeezed a glass cup, and played slowly. "How many years has Miss Yu San studied painting? It won't be more than ten years, right? If she loses again... she won't come to compete with me next time, right? You know, I'm new to the capital, no Understand your rules. Do you have to continue to challenge if you lose? Don’t stop until you win? If this is the case, I think, I still have to reject your challenge."

"You do not dare?"

"Yeah, I dare not. It's really troublesome to be entangled with someone like you. You see, your grandfather's official position is higher than my father's, so he can control him. Your aunt is Mrs. Su, and she controls me The daily expenses of the courtyard. Your other aunt is the imperial concubine, who is in charge of my fiancé... I am very afraid of you!" She replied seriously.

It also caused countless coughs, and saw many people's faces deformed and cramped.

Yu Qingyan snorted coldly suddenly: "Fortunately, I still think that Miss Su is a person who is pure and clear, and she just treats you as an opponent, so it's nothing more than that."

Please come to provoke the general if it doesn't work?
Just as Qi Jing wanted to refute again, Le Chen nodded slightly at her.She couldn't help pursing her lips, and held back the words.

Okay, that's about it.If you continue to toss around, it's just a waste of words, and the comparison still has to be compared.It's better to leave an image of her unbearable to everyone.

People with flaws are normal people.

"Hmph! Since Third Miss Yu wants to lose so much, I will compete with you again." She said angrily, "I don't know how Miss Third Yu wants to compete?"

"Naturally, each of us makes a painting on the spot, and the winner is judged on the spot as the winner, and the other is the loser."

Qijing Wangtian: "So, who will judge?"

Yu Qingyan was clearly prepared: "Today is the emperor's longevity. The paintings we made, whether good or bad, are all given to the emperor. Therefore, it is natural for the emperor to judge who is better and who is worse. Do you dare to suspect that the emperor is unfair? "

When Qijing thought about it, she immediately understood her intention.

The emperor is the judge, and no one dares to have an opinion.

But as Yu Qingyan, who has the right minister as her backing and the imperial concubine as her internal response, she must have figured out the emperor's preferences early on. Therefore, as long as everything caters to the emperor's wishes and there is no major problem with her brushwork skills, then she is bound to win.

And all her advantages, she has none.

However, since you are "excited", you don't have to keep your senses.What's more, the emperor is not happy about Yu Qingyan's self-confidence!I'm afraid, the better she behaves, the harder the result will be!
"Don't dare!" Qi Jing got up, "Then let's compare."

The emperor waved his hand and asked people to start preparing things.

Where, since it is to be done on the spot, it is directly in the main hall.The two tables are set up, and all kinds of utensils are placed one by one.

The two stood behind each table, and Yu Qingyan said again: "It's really boring to just compete like this, why don't we... let's take a bet. How dare you?"

"Why don't you dare, what do you want to bet on?" Qi Jing raised his head, his face full of arrogance.

"The loser promises the winner a condition."

"it is good."

Yu Qingyan smiled slightly, very complacent.

Spread the paper and rub the ink, and compose the picture with a pen.

The two of them thought about it separately, Yu Qingyan was well prepared, and naturally wrote with spirit.

Qijing, holding a pen in his hand, facing the paper, meditating quietly.

No one disturbed them, but the whispers continued.

Even above the high hall, the emperor asked Master Tianbei and said, "This disciple of the Taoist priest is well received!"

Daoist Tian Bei stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"What a pity!" the emperor shook his head. "Do you want me to find another good future for her?" Since she is the disciple of Taoist Master Tianbei and the eldest daughter of Su Youliang, it is not difficult at all to choose a good husband.And Taoist Master Tian Bei is with him, so he also has this dignity.

"As a visitor in the world of mortals, it's good to experience it. You don't have to force the process, the result. Life is too short for joys and sorrows." Daoist Tian Bei veiledly refused, and at the same time pointed out that in the future, he would always take her away from the world of mortals.plunge into the world...

In that case, normal people would always think that marrying the fourth prince is the best choice.After getting married, the relationship with the father's family is gradually severed.The fourth prince's life is not long, and he cannot leave any heirs, so he doesn't have too many entanglements in the world of mortals.

Love and hate, love and hatred, life and death, have all experienced it again.For her, it is the best.

The emperor thought he had figured it out, so he dropped his hand.He thinks this Su Qijing is very interesting, if it was a few years ago, he wouldn't mind taking it into the harem.But now, he's not interested in teasing.

However, he could see the interest in the eyes of his princes.Even, the eyes of the two princes looking at her are very different.

The queen mother said quietly: "This little girl from the Yu family, she looked fine in the past." Yu Yun naturally did, and she didn't look good today.

The corners of the imperial concubine's mouth froze slightly, and she agreed with a smile: "Probably because I was a little nervous in front of the emperor and the queen mother. I lost my usual manner... This girl was the best before. Compared to when I was a girl, It's much better!"

"You were a good person at the beginning." The queen mother smiled, "Oh, why doesn't this girl Su do anything?"

"Probably haven't figured it out yet!" The imperial concubine was a little nervous.Is the queen mother dissatisfied with Qingyan?Still dissatisfied with the Yu family?She secretly looked at the emperor, but unfortunately, she had never guessed what the emperor was thinking after all these years.

At that time, I just heard the emperor say to Taoist priest Tianbei: "I can't be too stingy. If your disciple can really win, I will give her a title."

The imperial concubine's heart suddenly jumped. If the queen mother had only guessed just now, she is almost sure now.

She may never be able to figure out the emperor's thoughts, but she has watched his rules for decades, and she can still figure out some tricks.

The grace in the previous sentence is exclusively for Su Qijing alone.In other words, he was dissatisfied with Yu Qingyan.Dissatisfaction with the Yu family behind her, her noble concubine, and even the emperor's son.

Thinking of this period of time, the emperor's various actions.She was in shock, and immediately regretted her recklessness today.

The power of the second prince is too strong, and the power of the Yu family is too strong.

The matter between Su Qijing and Yu Qingyan caused a commotion, it is impossible for the emperor not to know about it.If the emperor wanted to take care of it, he ordered it to go down, no matter how unwilling Su Qijing was, he had to admit it.

But he didn't do this, which means that he intends to suppress the Yu family.

But Yu Qingyan wanted to be strong...Yu Qingyan might be thinking of a child, but all of them were helping her... This revealed a signal that they were fighting against the emperor and were dissatisfied with him.

For a moment, the imperial concubine's heart became cold.

It took a while before she returned to normal.However, the palace servants behind her quietly retreated.

But at this time on the field, Yu Qingyan's painting had already taken shape.She painted a picture of pine and crane prolonging the year: Junshan, green pines and flying cranes, a round of red sun.Bright colors and light brushwork.Happy birthday, the meaning is very good.

And Qijing finally started to write.

A pen, a kind of ink, either light or dark, thick or light, layer after layer, layer upon layer.In the thick place, it seems that the ink has not yet opened; in the light place, the clear water passes without trace.

However, from the moment she started writing, her whole person revealed a rhythm that no one else could ignore.

This kind of rhythm, in the eyes of ordinary people, only thinks that her every move is very beautiful.Even the movement of her holding up her sleeve with one hand has her own style.

But in the eyes of a knowledgeable person, one can see that this young lady's painting skills are already superb.In this way, even if I didn't see the painting on the paper, I was already looking forward to it.

In the eyes of Taoist priest Tian Bei, he was shocked.Her eyes shined brightly: "Dao, Dao. She has actually realized the Tao! She is indeed very beautiful."

His words naturally fell into the ears of the emperor.

He couldn't see any Dao, but he knew what Dao Master Tian Bei said.

That is what Daoist Tianbei has been pursuing. He has also seen that Tianbei used this so-called Tao to make all kinds of things that cannot be done by human beings.

The emperor's pursuit of longevity was, to a large extent, seduced by the magic of the Taoist priest.

If it wasn't for his limited celestial beauty and reluctance to let go of this power, he would also want to seek the way wholeheartedly.

Now, after hearing Qijing's realization, he said, "Sure enough, you are so talented!?"

Daoist Tianbei smiled and nodded: "The talent is really excellent, this painting is probably not ordinary."

"How long will it take for her to become a teacher with such a talent?"

"Become a teacher?" Tian Bei shook his head: "In the lifetime of the poor, I'm afraid she won't be able to become a teacher."

"Why?" the emperor wondered.

"Your Majesty should know that even Pindao's level of cultivation was mostly improved by relying on elixirs. However, the elixir left by the teacher is very small, and now it has been exhausted. But Pindao Without my master's ability, the elixir that can be refined has limited efficacy. The medicinal materials used are also extremely rare... Everything can only be done by her hard work."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "She is still young, and she only wants to learn art, but she doesn't want to practice Taoism. Although she has a good appearance, she is afraid that she will accomplish nothing."

Suspicion flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Since he foresees that she will accomplish nothing, why does the priest accept her?"

"Nothing is better than nothing. A poor Taoist cultivator failed to achieve great success in the end. Life is limited. I can't let the master's inheritance be broken in my hands."

The emperor nodded slightly, accepting his explanation.

Suddenly, a palace official approached quietly.Standing still not far from the emperor, the emperor glanced at him, feeling a slight chill on his body.Tian Bei also saw it, and knew that things had changed tonight, but didn't say much.

Finally, it was over for both of them on the court.

When Yu Qingyan put pen to paper and looked at her own painting, she was very satisfied.

She practiced this painting for nearly a month, but today's painting is her best.Looking proudly at the opposite Qijing, although she couldn't see the painting in front of her, she could still see that the color used on her table was only one color.Disdain and imperativeness flashed across his eyes.

Qijing also finally stopped writing, but her gaze stayed on the painting, and she didn't look up for a long time.

Ink landscape, the same mountain, the same pine, but more waterfalls.However, the waterfall seems to come alive, if you feel it carefully, there is even a feeling of water vapor hitting your face.

This is her own hands and feet, she naturally understands what's going on.However, just now, her water ability broke through.

Although it is not a big breakthrough, it is also a great progress.

And her silence makes people think that her painting has failed.Among the people looking at her, some were happy and some were worried.

Yu Qingyan would never succeed for her, seeing that she was silent, she wanted to embarrass her as soon as possible.At that moment, she said crisply: "Your Majesty, my daughter's painting is good, and I would like to ask the Emperor to comment on it."
