Empress Dowager Zhou was not stingy with her words of praise. She only praised Xia Yuyan so much that she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
However, Xia Yuyan still tried to control her smile, and Yingying stepped forward and bowed: "The Queen Mother is so complimentary. Yuyan is not as good as the Queen Mother said, but this sister is still better than Yu Yan in talent and learning."
Of course she was referring to the girl in green.
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said: "You know how to be humble and neither arrogant nor impetuous, which is even more rare. Emperor, what do you think of the second couplet written by Miss Xia?"
Xia Yuyan suddenly became nervous, her heart pounding, her eyes staring at her toes, not daring to raise her head, but her ears perked up.
When Empress Dowager Zhou commented on the girl in green, she only praised her once, but when she evaluated Xia Yuyan, she praised her again and again. After everyone present heard the mystery of it, especially the girls, they all I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
They all looked at Xia Yuyan with dissatisfied eyes. Wasn't it just that her family background was better, wasn't she just a match? Why did the Queen Mother look at her differently
If we talk about talent and learning, the girl in green is clearly better than her!
"That's fine." Mo Chuan glanced at it and said calmly.
His evaluation was still two words.
But to Xia Yuyan's ears, it felt very unpleasant.
Is that okay? This clearly means that my second line is not as good as that of the girl in green!
She bit her lip, feeling very aggrieved and tears welling up in her eyes.
Empress Dowager Zhou also heard what the emperor meant. She thought to herself that the emperor didn't like this girl. Forget it, there are still good girls anyway. He can choose them. Anyway, no matter what today, there are still good girls. , I also want to book this marriage for him!
The girls' hearts suddenly felt relieved, as if a stone had fallen to the ground. Their hearts were once again filled with hope, and their thoughts and ideas began to flow freely, and beautiful sentences appeared frequently.
Suddenly, more than a dozen girls wrote the second couplet and submitted it one after another.
The Empress Dowager Zhou looked around and found that if she was talking about war projects and her ingenuity, the second couplet of the girl in green was the best.
Without comment, she handed all these second couplets to the emperor and asked him to pick them out.
"Emperor, which second couplet do you think is better? You choose one, and the Ai family will immediately have it carved out, and it will be erected on both sides of the Yixin Pavilion." Queen Mother Zhou asked with a double entendre.
Mo Chuan was very patient today. He stayed with Queen Mother Zhou from beginning to end. He did whatever Queen Mother Zhou asked him to do without any intention of doing anything perfunctory, which made Queen Mother Zhou particularly satisfied.
She originally thought that her son would go through the motions and leave this major post-election decision to himself. If that was the case, how could he choose a girl that met his wishes
Although Queen Mother Zhou hoped that her son would get married as soon as possible, she also hoped to help him find a loving partner. Especially when she saw her son marrying a foreign country because of the girl he loved, he was so sad that he disappeared for two days and two nights.
At that time, she made up her mind that as long as her son lived happily, she would want nothing and give up everything!
Mo Chuan read all the girls' second lines and pointed to one of them without hesitation.
"I think this pairing is the best."
The girls couldn't see which one he was referring to, their hearts were in their throats and their breathing stopped.
Queen Mother Zhou saw it clearly and was stunned.
