Seeing that the emperor and Lin Chenyao agreed to their thoughts, Concubine Qi was in a good mood. She said, "I am afraid that Miss Chu Wu will say that she will bully people by one against three. When the girl who got the lottery can propose a competition, you have the right to choose whether to compete or not. For example, Miss Cheng said that she would dance in the competition, you can refuse, and then you choose one that you think is confident. If the other party refuses, then the emperor will give the question. If the other party still refuses, it will be considered a loss."

Chu Xinyu thought about it and felt that the rule was fair, so he nodded and said that there was no problem.

Yang Qianjun and An Qilan were very worried about her, so they sneaked to her side, gently held her hand, and gave her strength to support her. Yang Qianjun said: "If you don't know the project they proposed, you will refuse and change it."

An Qilan also whispered: "If I draw it, I will definitely let you pass."

Seeing that they looked worried, Chu Xinyu said half-jokingly: "Then you must make me, I am so clumsy and I don't know anything."

At this time, the maid had already carried a short neck and round belly Yuan blue and white porcelain, and the list of girls had been placed inside. The Princess Chu took it and placed it on her own table, and then asked Princess Zhaoyang to draw lots on behalf of the girls.

The Princess Chu asked the girls to return to their seats, but Chu Xinyu, as the challenged person, had to stay where he was until he picked up the first challenger.

She glanced coldly at Concubine Qi and King Jin, and she remembered these two people!

Princess Zhaoyang put his hand in the flower porcelain, stirred the list inside, then took out a list and pronounced the name. I don’t know if the other party was unlucky or Chu Xinyu was lucky, but this person was actually Guo Jingyi, the girl who stepped on Chu Xinyu’s skirt.

Chu Xinyu was still angry about the fact that she was trampled on. The bruises on her forehead were still there. Although they were faint, they were also very eye-catching. In addition, she was cheated by Concubine Qi and his son, and Lin Chenyao was bullied. There was a cluster of evil fire in her heart that needed to vent.

Guo Jingyi didn't expect that she was the first to go into battle. She was nervous. She remembered that Tong Zhen once said that Chu Xinyu didn't know anything, but her painting was so outstanding that even the emperor praised her. She was good at painting. Now that she lost to her, what skills could she have to use to compete with her?

"I am proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and writing poems. What do you want to compare?" Even though Chu Xinyu was so unannoyed, she did not show it. She spoke first, her tone was relaxed, and she had a little pride on her face, without any tension, as if this was not a competition, but a conversation between friends.

Her attitude confused everyone. Many people here have heard of her rumors, being useless and useless, but when I saw her today, it was not the case. Now I heard her speak in person about playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and writing poetry. She is proficient in everything. She is not understanding or knowing, but proficient in it.

For a moment, Chu Xinyu's words shocked all the girls and couldn't help but wonder what the meaning of such a competition is. If you lose, it would be a shame to lose. None of the three can beat one of them.

If it weren't for the idea that Guifei Qi was the one who proposed this, there would be someone who dared to argue.

Seeing that Guo Jingyi had not said anything to discuss, Chu Xinyu said, "If you don't say it again, then I will mention it. If I mention it, you can't regret it."

This is a psychological tactic that disturbs the opponent's emotions. In addition, she has obtained the most hydrangeas in paintings before, so in the hearts of these girls, she began to wonder if she is really proficient in everything?

She could see that Guo Jingyi had no confidence in herself, so she said this on purpose. She was not a god, she was proficient in everything. She fought against three, so her momentum could never lose.

When Guo Jingyi heard her say this, she was really confused and said, "Let me write the famous sayings about self-cultivation and self-cultivation. In a stick of incense, whoever writes the most is the most beautiful, the one who has the most beautiful handwriting is the best."

A few days ago, she read some famous quotes about self-cultivation in her father's study. After reading a few pages, it was all about cultivation, life, and life, and every word of wonderful words. She memorized them and the memory was fresh.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xinyu's eyes flashed and she said, "Miss Guo, are you sure you choose this?"

Guo Jingyi looked at her, and saw that she looked calm and she was not panicked at all, and she did not refuse. Then she found that many eyes were looking at her, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She swallowed her saliva and nodded, "Yes."

She didn't believe that Chu Xinyu would remember more than she did, she believed that she would win.

Chu Xinyu smiled, but she didn't refuse, "Then let's do this."

Soon, the Princess of Chu asked someone to bring two tables and arrange pens, ink, paper and ink.

The King of Jin said to the King of Qin: "Who do you think will win?"

The King of Qin asked him questions and answers, "Who do you think will lose?"

King Jin smiled without answering, narrowed his eyes and stared at the tall and slender figure ahead. In fact, he didn't want her to win, but he didn't want her to lose. He didn't even understand himself. Seeing that she had taken the most hydrangea balls, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that the emperor wanted to give her to Lin Chenyao.

If she loses, she is just like this. If she wins, her father wants to give her a marriage.

Here, the fragrance was lit. Guo Jingyi dripped ink and picked up the pen and wrote it on the paper.

Compared to Guo Jingyi, Chu Xinyu wrote very slowly. It can be said that Guo Jingyi wrote only one sentence after she wrote a few sentences, and her eyes often glanced at Guo Jingyi, wrote one sentence, and glanced at him.

I felt strange when I watched them write about the Princess Chu. When the incense was halfway, Guo Jingyi began to slow down, but Chu Xinyu's speed was getting faster and faster.

After a stick of incense, both sides stopped writing, and the Princess Chu stepped forward to check, Guo Jingyi used small regular script font. She asked the supervisor to read what Guo Jingyi wrote:

"If you want to be a person with fine gold and beautiful jade, you must be forged from the fire; if you think about the achievements that will spread the sky and the earth, you must walk on the thin ice."

"If you ask others to know others, friends must tolerate others, and be kind to others; if you don't find any trouble, don't be afraid of things when you have something, do things with humans."

"The orchid is born in the deep forest, and it is not fragrant because there is no one. A gentleman cultivates Taoism and establishes virtue, and does not change his fortune because of difficulties."

...

Guo Jingyi wrote twenty-five pieces, with beautiful handwriting and profound bone strength. It seems that she has also put a lot of effort into calligraphy.

After reading it, the general manager gave it to the prince, who presented it to the emperor, Concubine Qi and others for review.

Then, when she looked at Chu Xinyu, she used the font of running regular script, with elegant and elegant brushwork, round and charming, and very beautiful. After seeing the Princess Chu, her eyes lit up. When she saw the inscription in Chunmanyuan, she felt that the words were written in a casual and colorful manner, and her brushwork was flowing and beautiful, and she loved it when she saw it.

Later, when she learned that Chunmanyuan was painted by Chu Xinyu, she felt ashamed. She blamed her for telling her that the banquet had been delayed for some time because Tong Zhen told her to steal hydrangea. In fact, she was innocent.

Now when I look at the fonts of running regular script she wrote, they are not inferior to Guo Jingyi's small regular script. This girl's ability is really not to be ignored, and she is also very good at hiding her shortcomings.

Concubine Qi proposed the idea of ​​the competition, which seemed to be shooting herself in the foot. Of course, it was only one game now, which was too early, but she still hoped that Chu Xinyu would win.

After checking it, the Princess Chu did not think about it anymore, so she handed it over to the manager to read it. The manager spread the paper open and pronounced it word by word:

"Stranquility can lead to far-reaching, and indifference can lead to a clear ambition."

"I examine myself three times a day: Are you unfaithful when you plan for others? Are you unfaithful when you make friends? Are you unfaithful when you make friends?"

"If you are not surprised by favor and disgrace, you should see the flowers blooming in the courtyard; if you are not interested in staying or leaving, you should see the clouds rolling and unfolding outside the sky."

...

"Those who achieve success are difficult to achieve and easily fail, and those who are at the right time are difficult to obtain and easily lose; the heavens do not take it; they will suffer the consequences; the time does not work, and the disaster will be caused."

The manager read in one breath and was almost breathless.

Not only Guo Jingyi's face was ugly, but the girls who didn't look down on Chu Xinyu and disdained her looked even ugly.

Because of the words written by Guo Jingyi, Chu Xinyu only had two or three similar ones to her, but most of them were different. In such a short period of time, she actually wrote more than thirty ones.

After reading it, the general manager gave it to the prince, and the prince presented it to the emperor.

After comparing the fonts, Guo Jingyi started writing very neatly, but at the end, she was a little messy and she wrote two wrong words.

Chu Xinyu's handwriting is consistent, very neat, and there are no typos.

After watching everyone, the emperor immediately announced that Chu Xinyu won the game, and then looked at her with a hint of appreciation, "I originally thought you were good at painting, but I didn't expect that your calligraphy was not bad either, and I could catch up with your grandfather."

Meiyi's running script inscriptions have a magnificent style. When he was young, he once learned calligraphy from Meiyi, so when he saw Chu Xinyu's calligraphy, he felt very friendly.

Hearing the emperor's praise, Chu Xinyu blushed. When she became Chu Xinyu, she thought that one day she would return to Jinjing to seek revenge on Xu Zhilan, but Xu Zhilan was so familiar with everything about her. She had to change her previous habits, first of all, her handwriting.

Since she has become Chu Xinyu, she must have some characteristics of the Chu family or the Mei family. In Chu Xinyu's memory, she knows that her grandfather Mei Yi's poems, writings, and paintings are all exquisite.

Therefore, she specially found Meiyi's calligraphy and painting research, and thought that his calligraphy was good, especially regular script, and then imitated his calligraphy. Unexpectedly, she used it today and was also praised by the emperor.

When Chu Xinyu won, Concubine Qi seemed to have knocked over the palette on her face, and she had all kinds of colors. She proposed that Chu Xinyu compete with the girls, and she was defeated at the beginning of the battle. If she was defeated in such a blow, would there be any girl in the other two games? If she lost again, it would not be a shame for herself.

"The next game is the second game. I hope the girls don't be discouraged. You still have the chance to turn defeat into victory." In order to encourage the girls' morale, Concubine Qi said: "If you can win in this game, I will give you a gift."

Chu Xinyu's eyes narrowed slightly. Is this Concubine Qi, who thinks that I am defeated? If I lose, I will not marry to the Qi family as you wish, but I remember this hatred today.

After hearing Concubine Qi's words, the girls' confidence suddenly ignited.

Soon, Princess Zhaoyang drew another girl, Luo Yunqing.

Luo Yunqing proposed embroidery very directly, and it was just a stick of incense to embroider the peony flower.

Chu Xinyu refused.

She can embroidery, which was taught by her mother, but she could not embroider in front of Xu Zhilan, because the embroidery was like the previous paintings, and it was to be placed in front of everyone for everyone to appreciate it, so she refused.

Chu Xinyu doesn't like sweating performances, and most of the dances are good at dancing in brothel dance halls. The girls from good families don't choose to dance. After thinking about it, she proposed to play chess, in order to save time, she decided to win or lose in one game.

Luo Yunqing did not refuse and agreed.

The King of Qin frowned. Can Luo Yunqing's chess skills be tied with him? Can Yu Yatou be OK?

"I think Miss Luo will win in this game, what do you say?" King Jin spoke, but not to King Qin, but to Lin Chenyao on the right.

Lin Chenyao looked at Chu Xinyu standing on the stage, and remembered that she proposed to play chess, a cunning flashed in her eyes. Although she didn't have much contact with her, for some reason, she seemed to be very familiar with her. She felt that a woman like her would not be sure of doing something she didn't know. He felt that she would not lose in this game.

Then he replied: "She won't let herself lose."

When he was writing dictation, he could see clearly. At the beginning, the opponent wrote a line. She glanced at it and then wrote a line. When the incense was halfway through, she accelerated the speed. If it was at the beginning, it would be that there were more than 30 dictation lines. Obviously, she did it on purpose.

She won't let herself win too much, but she won't let herself lose. She just wins, and this should be the case in the next game.

At this time, the Princess of Chu suggested to the emperor that it was not possible to just watch Miss Chu compete with others, which delayed the performance time of others. Therefore, the performance of others continued, but in order to save time, one man and one woman were in a group, and in the form of a lottery, a pair of men and women who were drawn on stage will perform, perform whatever they were drawn, and then asked the referee to score the hydrangea.

The first pair of people who were drawn to perform on stage were the Prince of Funing County and Prince Yu. The Prince of Funing County was drawn to write poems and Prince Yu painted.

Since writing poems, paintings and playing chess are quiet and do not conflict with each other, the Princess of Chu asked someone to bring the chessboard to the stage. It was a chessboard hanging on the wall. Chu Xinyu and Luo Yunqing played chess. Every time Chu Xinyu fell a piece, a servant would write in the corresponding place of the chessboard, so that everyone could see the results.

At the beginning, the Princess Chu said to Chu Xinyu and Luo Yunqing: "Because time is limited, I don't know how good you are, so I only gave one stick of incense. The time is up. If both sides have not yet decided on the winning or losing, it will be a draw."

The tables of the Lord of Funing County and Prince Yu are placed on the right side, and their time is also a stick of incense.

When playing chess with Luo Yunqing, Chu Xinyu did not feel the pressure, but was very relaxed. She lost one son, and Luo Yunqing chased another son. The two of them went back and forth, and when the incense burned out, they were still not sure of the outcome.

Everyone watched it very carefully, and they were tied this game.

Luo Yunqing looked at the beautiful girl opposite, with thin powder on her face, clear eyes flowing, eyebrow-cleaning, and apricot red clothes made her white skin look even more crystal white.

The rumors about this girl were heard about her when she was enjoying flowers in the garden before. Now that she has played chess with her, she finally understands what her cousin said - she can't use the previous rumors to always count alone.

She asked herself that her chess skills were good, at least no one could compare to her hometown, but when Chu Xinyu played chess with her, she could feel that her chess skills were not inferior to her. If she continued to fight, she might not win. The draw won her face, at least she had not lost yet.

Seeing that it was a draw, Concubine Qi was angry, so why didn't anyone defeat her?

But the emperor smiled at Lin Chenyao and said, "There is still the last game. If she wins too, you can't regret it."
