Shen Ning noticed that the three girls smiled politely and were courteous on the surface, but there was a hint of hostility in the corners of their brows and eyes, and their boastful words to each other were even more false and exaggerated, and they sounded insincere.
She couldn't help but secretly laugh. Empress Dowager Zhou originally wanted to use these three people to deal with her, but she didn't expect that the three of them started fighting with each other.
She picked up a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth with a smile, chewed it slowly, and narrowed her eyes to watch the show.
"Sister Xia, Wan'er has long heard that Sister Xia is talented and can compose a poem in seven steps. When I saw Sister Xia today, she was really full of poetry and calligraphy. I just didn't know that Sister Xia would soon open the eyes of the Queen Mother and us. , how about composing a poem in seven steps?”
Liu Wanting sat next to Xia Yuyan, turned to Xia Yuyan and smiled.
She smiled softly and her voice was as gentle as water.
The smile on Xia Yuyan's lips froze for a moment, and she secretly gritted her teeth in hatred.
She is indeed known as the most talented woman in Kyoto. Composing poems is not a problem for her. She came to the banquet today because she originally wanted to show off her talent by composing poems and stand out in the limelight.
But seven steps make a poem!
How is this possible
"Sister Wanting is joking. The rumors are exaggerated and unbelievable. I just read a few more books and know a few more words than my sisters. How can I write a poem in seven steps? My sister often hears this. People say that my sister's skill in playing the zither is unparalleled in the world. Even after hearing the sound of my sister's zither, all the birds will stop on the branches and sing along with my sister's zither music. Has my sister's Yao qin been brought into the palace? I believe the Queen Mother is also waiting for her? Listen to my sister’s wonderful music and watch the wonderful sight of birds coming to court.”
Xia Yuyan smiled crookedly at Liu Wanting. After saying a few words, the smile on Liu Wanting's face froze, and teeth sprouted in her eyes, as if she wanted to bite Xia Yuyan.
The so-called "hundreds of birds" are just words of praise for her. Who in the world can really attract birds with her piano music
He clearly wanted to make her look embarrassed in public!
Wu Yue'er did not speak, but listened with a smile. Then she brought the peeled lychee pulp to Queen Mother Zhou and whispered: "This lychee is fresh and sweet. If the Queen Mother likes it, Yue'er will help her continue to peel it." "
Shen Ning's eyes stopped on Wu Yue'er's face, thinking to herself that Wu Yue'er was more scheming than the other two girls.
When Xia Yuyan and Liu Wanting saw this, they immediately woke up and glared at Wu Yuer at the same time.
Wu Yue'er just ignored her, brewed a cup of fragrant tea, and brought it to Queen Mother Zhou: "Your Majesty, please use the tea."
The Empress Dowager Zhou had long seen the overt and covert fights between the three of them. She had been used to this kind of jealousy for decades, so she didn't take it to heart. She took Wu Yue'er's tea and praised with a smile: "It's you again." This kid has a filial heart.”
Shen Ning couldn't help but feel happy. The Queen Mother was really interesting this week. Didn't these words add fuel to the fire? Could it be that she hoped that the three girls would become more and more fierce as they fought
Sure enough, as soon as Empress Dowager Zhou finished speaking, Wu Yue'er lowered her head slightly to hide the proud look in her eyes, while Xia Yuyan and Liu Wanting stood up together.
"Empress Dowager, please help Yuyan squeeze your shoulders. When we were at home, Yuyan often squeezed her mother's shoulders. My mother praised me for squeezing her shoulders very comfortably."
"Well, okay, okay." Queen Mother Zhou nodded with a smile.
Xia Yuyan began to help Queen Mother Zhou gently squeeze her shoulders.
