Chapter 087: Banquet
Princess Jing'an saw that she couldn't answer, and saw her eyes asking for help from her, and her face looked a little ugly. Could it be that she was lying before that the golden hydrangea was snatched by her? If she came out to talk to her at this time, if her lies were still exposed, wouldn't this involve herself? She quickly measured and decided to pretend that she didn't see it.
Seeing that Jing'an ignored her, Tong Zhen looked at Fu Yinghua and Lin Yu again. They had known that Tong Zhen's hydrangea had been stolen, so how could they come out to help her?
Tong Zhen's look of the Lang Fan had already been put down, and her expression was visible. The Princess of Chu and the Prince of Chu could not help but frown when he saw it. The Princess of Chu was about to speak, but Lin Huan said at this time: "Zhenzhen, didn't you say you found it in Yulou Diancui?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Huan came out to help her. Tong Zhen used Lin Huan's words as a life-saving driftwood and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I found it in Yulou Diancui."
"Are you sure it's Yulou Diancui?" asked the prince of Chu.
"..." Tong Zhen was stunned, wasn't it? He couldn't help looking at Lin Huan.
Lin Huan actually guessed that there were many precious flowers at the location where Tong Zhen stood, but not many of them could be called out. The only ones she could call out were Yulou Diancui Zhao Fan and Wei Zi. Seeing that Tong Zhen was hesitant, she casually said a name, and imagined that it was better than not being able to answer.
Seeing Tong Zhen's expression, the prince of Chu had guessed seven or eight points, so he ignored her and asked Chu Xinyu, "Where are you?"
Chu Xinyu shook his head and said, "I don't know. It was found by my maid. You can pass it on to her to ask."
After a while, Zhubo was brought in. The prince of Chu asked her if she had found the hydrangea, where to find it, and which variety of flowers.
Zhu Bo glanced at Chu Xinyu, saw her nodding slightly, and then answered the question of the Prince of Chu.
Fortunately, she had asked about Chu Xin's species of feather flowers before, but she still remembered it freshly. She even said where she was.
"Are you sure it's Kunshan Luminous?"
"I am very sure. My girl told me that the flower is luminous in Kunshan because its petals are innocent and phosphorus, and it is clean and shiny during the day. It will shine under the moonlight at night, so I will not forget it."
The prince of Chu asked someone to check it out, and Zhu Bo said nothing wrong.
Tong Zhen's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She looked at Princess Jing'an and Miss Fu Er, hoping that both of them would be good and help her rescue.
Princess Jing'an was almost angry with her stupidity, so she would not come out to help her. If you want to frame others, you must first figure out the situation. She didn't know where Jin Hydrangea was found, and she was asked and didn't know about it. Such lies will sooner or later be exposed.
Tong Zhen was anxious. Didn’t they resist her? If they hadn’t supported her, how could she have falsely accused Chu Xinyu? At most, she would seek revenge on her privately and would never sue her at the banquet.
The Funing County Lord found it funny. Fortunately, he and Tong Zhen were not in the same group, otherwise her would have lost her face.
However, this girl Chu Wu is very powerful. She obviously can answer the question she can answer, but the maid answered. Isn’t this a slap Tong Zhen in a slap? She knows Hua worse than her maid, and she wants to wrongly accuse others. She is really overestimating her ability!
The Princess Chu was very angry and immediately disqualified Tong Zhen, Gu Qing'er, who had perjured her, and the two girls to attend the banquet. As for the instigator Lin Huan, if it weren't for her identity, she would have ended up like Tong Zhen.
For the reputation of Ronggong Mansion, Lin Yu had to come out to speak for her, saying that she had been misled and made a mistake. He thought that she valued friendship and forgiving her once for her friend.
Lin Huan immediately reacted and got up to apologize to Chu Xinyu, saying that she had misbehaved Tong Zhen's words and thought that Tong Zhen was wronged. She didn't expect that her kindness was used by the other party and misunderstood her, hoping that she could forgive herself.
If Chu Xinyu does not forgive her, it will seem that she is not generous enough.
Didn't Chu Xinyu see her thoughts? It's okay to let her go today, but it's not that easy to frame her and try to clear her up. She smiled and said, "Miss Lin San, this is not a misunderstanding, but it's an unjust accusation. But let's forget it this time, just pretend that it was the last time that made you lose face at the Madam's Life Festival Banquet of the Guardian. I hope you don't catch any small matters in the future. I'll make things difficult for me again and again, spreading the unconfirmed things." She thought that the blackmailing of the old man before coming to the palace was secretly sent by Lin Huan.
When everyone heard this, it turned out that Miss Chu Wu was wrongly accused of robbing hydrangea because she had an old resentment with Miss Lin San. The narrow-minded Miss Lin San was resentful about this matter and conspired with others to wrongly accuse Miss Chu. Even the recent rumors about Miss Chu may not be true.
Lin Huan's character was immediately questioned, but fortunately, she was engaged.
In fact, she shouldn't have attended a banquet like today, so she came to join in the fun and enjoy the flowers and make friends. Therefore, although the Princess Chu did not invite her to leave the banquet, her red hydrangea was confiscated.
King Jin glanced at King Qin and smiled and said, "Your cousin performed well and was calm enough. She used to be chubby, like a ceramic doll. I didn't expect to see you again many years later. Whether it was wisdom or appearance, it was really amazing!"
He did not read her wrongly, and he calmly cleared out the two girls who were looking for him to appear. Even if the other party wanted to do anything bad, he would have no choice now.
King Qin pursed his lips and ignored him, but looked at Chu Xinyu sitting in the back row opposite him.
Because she was disturbed by what happened just now, all the girls forgot to lift the fan, and so did Chu Xinyu's. When she answered the prince's question, she had already put the fan down.
She has the same appearance, but she is indeed smarter, tolerant and restrained than in her previous life. She is neither humble nor arrogant when she answers the princess, neither panic nor angry at being wronged. She has never seen this calm and confident demeanor in her.
What happened to her for two years in Puling Temple that changed her so much?
"Is she the little fat girl?" King Jing sat on the left side of King Qin. When he heard King Jin's words, he looked at Chu Xinyu. He remembered that he had talked to her in the palace when he was a child. At that time, she was chubby and cute, and the seventh brother always called her the little fat girl, which made her angry and pissed her teeth.
It's really a change in women. If he hadn't heard from his third brother that she was the fourth brother's cousin, he wouldn't have recognized him.
"She is a little fat girl? No way?" King Yu was surprised when he heard them say.
King Jin smiled and said, "She is not a little fat girl now. Don't call her like this in front of her, otherwise her clever mouth will make you angry to death."
"Is that true?" King Yu stared at Chu Xinyu's beautiful face and murmured to himself. He had seen many beauties, but it was hard to see such beautiful looks as Chu Xinyu.
The snatching of hydrangea has been resolved. Although the four girls were cleared away, the girls' emotions were not affected after this incident. Instead, they were more excited and looking forward to it than before. Because there were less than four competitors, it would be best if Chu Xinyu could also clear them away together. Looking at her beautiful face, they felt that the pressure increased.
The Princess of Chu asked someone to announce the six girls who found the golden hydrangea, namely Fu Ying, Luo Yunqing, Yang Qianjun, Jiang Lihua, Meng Feiyan and Li Qing.
Is Chu Xinyu not on the list?
Before, Tong Zhen had wrongly accused her of robbing the golden hydrangea, but she gave the golden hydrangea to Yang Qianjun, which shows that she is not a person who is eager for quick success and instant benefits and is a fishy person.
Next, the Princess Chu announced the next project, which was delayed for some time due to the robbery of hydrangea. Now not every girl who found hydrangea has the opportunity to perform. They will screen out thirty best ones and then screen them again. This is the case until six top ones are selected.
The referee scores, hydrangeas are the score, and the one who chooses the most gold, red and silver hydrangeas is the winner. This result is fair.
All girls can participate in the preliminary topic game, which is to draw a painting mainly based on flowers, and then praise it with poetry. The template uses flowers in a garden or a touching picture in the garden. There is no limit to the variety of flowers. As for poetry, you can create your own and learn from others.
The referee invited by the Princess of Chu was a first- and second-rank noble lady and several respected ministers in the court. Of course, there were also the young masters present. They could give hydrangeas to their favorite works, each with a golden hydrangea on his hand.
The painting place is in the backyard of Baiweiju, where four long tables have been placed. The girls moved to the backyard and painted in an arranged position, which is limited to half an hour.
When she knew it was painting, Chu Jiating breathed a sigh of relief. Although her painting skills were not top-notch, she believed that she would definitely pass the primary election. Especially when she saw the King of Qin, she told herself that she must pass the primary election so that she could see her talent.
As for Chu Xinyu, although she showed off her sensation today, she would definitely surpass her this time. Chu Jiajieting said that she had never seen Chu Xinyu's paintings, and said that she even wrote the words in a rude way, so she would definitely be eliminated in the primary election.
Thinking that Chu Xinyu would appear soon, Yang Lianxin was in a very good mood and walked to Chu Xinyu quickly and said, "Fifth cousin, don't draw first later. I will help you draw after I finish drawing."
Chu Xinyu said, "Thank you, but no need." After drawing, help her? What if it took her half an hour to draw a picture, wouldn't she hand in the blank paper?
Yang Lianxin did have such a little thought. Before the banquet began, Chu Xinyu made everyone remember her. Although she would definitely not be able to pass the primary election, the King of Qin was her cousin. If she could make friends with her and make her feel that she was sincere to her, she might introduce her to her cousin.
Who doesn’t want to be the Princess of Qin? She knows that her identity is not worthy. If she can have more contact with him through Chu Xinyu’s relationship, she might make him fall in love with her. The main concubine is not good, and the concubine is also good.
The seat arrangement was good. Sun Ruoya was on the left of Chu Xinyu, and on the right were Jiang Lihua, the sixth girl from Duke Ying's mansion.
At first, Chu Xinyu was not in a hurry to draw, but was adjusting the colors. Sun Ruoya next to her was very worried about her and asked her how she was and if she didn't know how to draw. She once heard that Chu Xinyu was not good at calligraphy and painting, so she was a little worried that she could not complete the first choice.
Chu Xinyu shook his head and said to brew his thoughts and tell her not to worry. When she sorts out her thoughts, she will write soon.
It took a quarter of an hour before she began to draw.
The time passed quickly, and half an hour was coming in the blink of an eye. Most of the girls made paintings and left the scene one after another.
After Lin Huan finished painting, she followed everyone to the corridor and looked at Chu Xinyu who was still painting and laughed: "I think she will definitely not be able to draw anything, otherwise she would not have painted for so long."
Fu Yingwu looked at her and said, "Why is this person so annoying? A typical scar healed and forgot the pain. She must be jealous of Sister Yu, so she said this, and then said, "Who said that after drawing for a long time, she can't draw anything? Maybe Sister Yu's painting is amazing and will suppress you all."
Lin Huan sneered: "No matter how amazing her paintings are, they cannot surpass your second sister. Your second girl is a painting fairy. Do you think her painting skills are better than your second sister's?"
Fu Yingwu pursed her lips and thought for a while: "I haven't seen it, so I won't comment at will. Don't be proud, maybe you can't pass the primary election yourself."
After saying that, he ignored her and ran to find Fu Yinghuan.
At this time, Fu Yinghua was with Princess Jing'an. Seeing Chu Xinyu still painting, Princess Jing'an smiled and said, "I see that her posture of holding a pen and drawing is a bit like you. Do you think the works she painted can meet people?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yinghua looked at Chu Xinyu's posture carefully. It looked a bit like it, but it didn't look like it either. Then she remembered something and said, "No matter how good the posture is imitated, it is useless. She is destined to be eliminated in this game."
Princess Jing'an looked at her in surprise, "Are you..."
Fu Yinghua interrupted her, "I don't want to do these things if you think." In his previous life, Chu Xinyu lost in the primary election. She had known this ending for a long time that she didn't need to do anything behind.
Tong Zhen and Gu Qing'er were invited out of the banquet, and Chu Xinyu formed a bond with their ties. With their personalities, they would definitely not give up.
Besides, Chu Xinyu had just put down his pen and the gong rang. The warning time was coming. She swept around and there were three or four people left at the scene.
The referee and the young masters have come to choose paintings, and she quickly left the venue. Yang Qianjun and Sun Ruoya and An Qilan come up to us. Yang Qianjun asked anxiously: "Have you finished painting?"
"It's over."
"That's good, at least there is hope." Yang Qianjun's heart was settled. Seeing that the girls were all back to the seats in the main hall, she said, "Let's go, let's go back to the seats, let the referee select the results and then go straight to the end. Do you know what the next project is?"
Chu Xinyu was about to ask what it was when he heard a duck voice coming from the main hall: "The emperor is here!"
emperor?
Everyone was shocked!
The Princess Chu was also quite surprised. She knew that someone would come in the palace today, but she didn't expect that it was the emperor who hurriedly led everyone to kneel down to greet him.
A bright yellow figure walked in surrounded by a group of people, followed by two women.
Chu Xinyu and others were still in the backyard. When they heard the emperor arrive and ran forward quickly, they just stepped onto the steps and heard a thick and majestic voice saying, "Flat."
An Qilan stopped and said, "We are late, are you still going in?"
“…”
In addition to them, there were also several girls who left the backyard after the last time. The girls who finished painting had already stepped in earlier. If they went in now, would they be blamed?
Chu Xinyu raised his eyes and saw a man wearing a moon-white brocade robe with silver silk and dark patterns embroidered with flowers on his cuffs. He was beautiful in the moon and had a clear and handsome appearance. Walking in the sun, he was as beautiful as a painting.
It's him!
Lin Chenyao.
He actually came to such a banquet, was it because of Xu Zhilan?
Chu Xinyu Yunxiu tightened his hands, and his eyes were no longer as amazing as before. At this moment, her eyes had a murderous aura. Lin Chenyao in front of him also felt it, paused, and looked up at her.
It's her!
Lin Chenyao frowned, but quickly looked away, turned around, and walked into Baiwei Juzheng Hall from another entrance.
"He, he is the Marquis of Peiping..."
Yang Qianjun and others have recognized him. Oh my God, he has come too.
