imperial concubine

Chapter 36
Su Wan was a little puzzled, she didn't know what made Qi Ruobing want to kill her.Standing behind the eldest lady, Su Wan glanced at the eldest lady lightly. Could it be that the eldest lady is obstructing it?
No, the eldest lady will not have that much influence over Qi Ruobing.After thinking about it, the only reason was that he humiliated Fang Yuanli at the Hou's mansion that day.Thinking of this, Su Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, it seems that she should be more careful today.

At this moment, the butler's deep voice sounded in the garden, "Princess Jingya is here!"

The bustling crowd in the garden suddenly quieted down, only to see Princess Jingya wearing a maroon jacquard slanted jacket, a silk embroidered skirt that stretched to the floor, and her long black and thick hair tied up in a coquettish and unique double-ringed fairy bun. There is a golden hairpin inserted in the twisted cloud temples, a satin sash tied around the waist, and a Hangzhou satin sachet with double happiness pattern hanging on it, making the whole person look extremely graceful and luxurious.

Seeing Yun Jingya appearing, Qi Ruobing bowed down first, and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

Yun Jingya walked up to Qi Ruobing, helped Qi Ruobing up with a smile, and then said to everyone: "Today is the folk poetry meeting. Don't worry about the many rules in the palace. Get up!"

Then everyone got up.Qi Ruobing led Yun Jingya into the garden and invited her to sit down.Then he ordered the housekeeper next to him to take a careful count of the guests, and if there were only a few people missing, he was ready to start the banquet.

Not long after, the delicacies prepared by the famous chefs in the prime minister's mansion were served on the table like flowing water.Sitting beside Yun Jingya, Qi Ruobing raised his wine glass, "Everyone is gathered here today to celebrate the Hundred Flowers Festival. Ruobing would like to thank all the ladies for their trust. This is the first cup, and Ruobing respects you all."

Everyone agreed, but only Su Wan noticed that Qi Ruobing claimed to be Ruobing, not a concubine.Although it is only a title, the meanings represented are quite different.The mystery of this, if not soaked in the harem for a long time, it is impossible to appreciate it.

Then Qi Ruobing put down his wine glass, smiled and said to everyone: "As early as a few months ago, Her Highness the Princess and Ruo Bing started to prepare for this Hundred Flowers Poetry Festival. Her Highness Princess is even more ingenious and arranged a Hundred Flowers Dance for everyone to appreciate. "

As soon as Qi Ruobing finished speaking, dozens of dancers came in from outside the courtyard. Their long sleeves dragged across the floor, and their slender waists were easy to hold.Many dancers suddenly gathered in one place, and suddenly scattered everywhere, like a hundred flowers blooming, or like thousands of flowers withering.

The garden suddenly became lively. In the noisy environment, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion shuttled back and forth in an orderly manner, but they never panicked.

After a while, the banquet has become a remnant.The steward of the prime minister's mansion ordered his servants to remove the remnants of the seats and replace them with melon and fruit snacks for the daughters in the garden.Looking at the plates of delicious fruits, Su Wan knew in her heart that the main event was just about to begin.

Sure enough, after Qi Ruobing, who was on the top, whispered a few words to Yun Jingya beside her, Qi Ruobing stood up again, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Hundred Flowers Poetry Festival. You have watched the singing and dancing, and admired the Hundred Flowers just now. Now invite All of you write poems with a theme of hundreds of flowers, and the winner will be rewarded by Her Royal Highness Princess and Ruo Bing."

Everyone looked at each other, and they knew that today was the Hundred Flowers Poetry Festival before they came, and they had already prepared their poems.It's just that who is the first is very particular.If this No. 1 has a bad family background, appearance, and talent, he will inevitably be ridiculed.

When everyone was silent, a woman sitting next to Yun Jingya stood up. She saluted everyone slightly, and then recited a small poem in a sweet voice, "Pear blossoms and snow press down on branches, and warblers sing like willows." Silk. Laziness chases make-up and dawns, and Chun Rong dreams late."

The poems are extremely exquisite, and the font of Chunri Beauty is vividly portrayed, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.Even though she was sitting in the first seat, Yun Jingya, who had never spoken, gave a faint compliment.

Su Wan, who was sitting in the crowd, also nodded. The daughter of Li Wengong's family was the first to appear at the Nobile Banquet last time, and now she is the first to appear at the Hundred Flowers Poetry Meeting.Although both of them were poems, the poem at the Nobile Banquet has a heroic air, but this poem has a feeling of beauty and laziness. If the two capitals were written by herself, this Ms. Li is really talented.

When someone starts, others are no longer silent.One after another excellent works emerge in endlessly in the garden.There are those who praise pear blossoms, and those who write about peach blossoms, dazzling, and so on.

It's just that although the opening poem is good, what's more important is Qi Ruobing and Yun Jingya's questioning.Before the Hundred Flowers Poetry Meeting, everyone prepared a good poem with a lot of "hard work".But if you want to deal with Qi Ruobing and Yun Jingya's problems, you must have real talents and real learning.

At this moment, the eldest lady turned her head to look at Su Wan, with an indelible smile on her face, "Wan'er, you have always liked poetry. Today is such a grand event, why don't you go up and present a poem?"

Seeing the smile on Da Furen's face, Su Wan shook her head, "Mother, many talented women in Beijing are gathered here today, and Wan'er's level is only in the middle class, so why bother to go up there and show yourself?" Su Wan rolled her eyes, "How about Let my sister try it?"

Today's Hundred Flowers Poetry Conference is very strange, and it is even more abnormal for the lady to be so quiet.So Su Wan decided not to act rashly before she fully understood the matter, so as to avoid the trap set by Mrs. Zhong Xia.

Su Yue on the side obviously heard Su Wan's words, and heard that she looked down on her so much, and said angrily: "Try it!"

Without waiting for the eldest lady to stop her, Su Yue stood up, saluted Yun Jingya and Qi Ruobing on the stage, then saluted the ladies around her, and finally said a little awkwardly: "Su Yue, the Mighty Marquis, has a poem, Please comment."

Su Wan, who was sitting next to Su Yue, looked carefully at Su Yue who was standing beside her. Although Su Yue looked very calm on the surface, the hand holding her cuff exposed all the tension in her heart.

After Su Yue stood up, she calmed down and said slowly: "April is the end of the world, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. There is nowhere to look for the spring of eternal regret. I don't know where to turn."

After reciting a small poem, everyone in the garden was silent, Su Wan beside Su Yue was terrified, Su Yue has such a great talent, why didn't he realize it before?Then I laughed when I thought about it, this poem must not have been written by Su Yue, but she had memorized it by heart.

Everyone in the garden was silent, and after a long time, Yun Jingya exclaimed, "Good poem!" Everyone woke up like a dream, and they all echoed and praised: "Such a good poem, I am so lucky to hear it today!" "Su Miss, it is really hidden."

Su Yue, who was standing in the middle, looked at the envious expressions on everyone's faces, and heard the voice of approval in her mouth. She glanced complacently at Su Wan beside her, but she couldn't help being even happier when she saw that Su Wan was bowing her head in sadness.

After everyone praised, Yun Jingya, who was sitting high on the top, smiled and said, "Su Yue, did you write the poem just now?"

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, Su Yue nodded, not sure if she was a little nervous or for some reason, after nodding, Su Yue said expectantly: "Exactly. This poem is exactly what I wrote."

Sitting next to Su Yue, Su Wan could obviously feel Su Yue's body trembling. Su Wan knew that Su Yue was afraid, so she lowered her head lower, for fear that others would find that she was laughing uncontrollably.

Seeing that Su Yue was a little nervous, Yun Jingya smiled very gently, "Miss Su, don't be nervous. I have a few questions for you to answer. If you answer wrong, I won't blame you, you Feel free to answer yes."

Yun Jingya's gentle attitude helped, Su Yue was obviously much calmer than before, and she no longer stumbled when speaking, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. Please ask Your Highness, Su Yue will definitely answer them one by one."

Seeing Su Yue who had calmed down, Yun Jingya smiled and asked a few questions, and Su Yue answered all of them.This made Su Wan who was sitting next to Su Yue a little surprised. In my impression, Su Yue never liked to play with words. When did she become proficient in these things?

Soon Yun Jingya's questions were finished, and then Qi Ruobing asked the last question, which was also a fixed question that was asked by those people just now, "Miss Su, please write a poem with this garden thing, a stick of incense for a limited time. "

The tangled flowers on Su Yue's body trembled slightly, and she held her hands at her waist and bowed to the two people seated high above, "Please Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Fang choose something for poetry."

The phoenix hairpin on Yun Jingya's head turned slightly, and the woven gold mountain and sea patterns on the sleeves of the robe shone a charming golden color. Her white and slender fingers pointed to a strange emerald green rockery in the garden and said, "Let Miss Su take this rockery as the theme." , write a poem."

His own servants burned the letter incense and placed it in the hall, and the green smoke curled up.The blue and white clothes in white were looming in the green smoke, Su Yue lowered her head and frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

But Su Wan, who was sitting next to Su Yue, could clearly see that although Su Yue lowered her head, her big eyes were looking around, and she didn't seem to be contemplating at all.Su Wanxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and then looked at the eldest lady who was not nervous at all, and she realized something in her heart.

When the letter was nearly halfway, Su Yue slowly raised her head, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and pretended to wipe it on her forehead, and then showed a relieved smile, "Reporting to Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Fang, Su Yue has already finished the poem. "

Yun Jingya looked at the half-burned letter incense and nodded with great satisfaction, "I never thought that Miss Su could compose a poem in such a short period of time, which is really beyond my expectations. "

Seeing the exaggerated expression on Yun Jingya's face, Su Wan snorted softly.What was unexpected was simply expected!No wonder Su Yue recited such a good poem before, and he answered questions fluently.

All this is because the question maker and the answerer are basically the same!
No wonder the eldest lady invited herself to participate in the Hundred Flowers Poetry Club so kindly. It turned out that she had colluded with Yun Jingya and Qi Ruobing a long time ago, and handed over the pre-prepared questions and answers to Su Yue, and asked Su Yue to memorize them. Naturally, you can deal with it calmly.

As for the poem that surprised me before, I think it was written by a famous master in Beijing for the sake of the eldest lady.Thinking of this, Su Wan took a deep look at the eldest lady. She never thought that for Su Yue, the eldest lady would really be willing to spend all her money!
Qi Ruobing, who was sitting next to Yun Jingya, smiled at night at this moment: "Since Miss Su has already done it, why don't you read it out, how about everyone commenting together?"

Su Yue nodded proudly, and then slowly chanted: "The raindrops are shattered, the moss grows green and green, so when will the gate come, let's see the little three peaks. Please judge."
