Especially those women who are quite accomplished in poetry and prose, who are self-reliant and talented, are even more ambitious.
There was a "bang" in Lu Xiaoshu's mind, and he was so depressed that he wanted to pee.
The queen said, "Girls here are not allowed to hide their clumsiness. Everyone must make a song! It doesn't matter if you are not good at it, just have fun!"
The queen was so interested, everyone naturally agreed.
All the people who come here are from rich and noble families. Which family's girl has never invited a female husband or learned to write poems and lyrics for a few days since she was a child? You can do everything, it's just that the level is different.
There is only Lu Xiaoshu, who really knows nothing! Seeing the queen's bright smile, she suddenly felt dizzy.
This poem is different from other performances. Playing the piano can be used as an excuse for hand injury, and dancing can be used as an excuse for inconvenient legs. Only this poem—you can’t suddenly become dumb, right
Even if you become dumb, you can still write!
Just say you can't read? Lu Xiaoshu subconsciously glanced at the mother next to her, she thought that her mother would definitely lose face, so forget it...
Lu Xiaoshu was so anxious that she wanted to faint, the little eunuch who handed out pens, inks, papers and inkstones had already come in front of her, and with a smile, he gently placed the small tray with these things on the table in front of her, and at the same time secretly asked She winked.
Lu Xiaoshu was stunned, and saw the little eunuch's sleeve flicked, and a ball of paper was handed to her, she subconsciously took it, the little eunuch nodded and smiled at her calmly, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xiaoshu was suddenly a little confused.
The two of them were seated together with Miao Cuilan and Xiaoxue. Lu Xiaoshu glanced around at the crowd and quietly opened the ball of paper under Xiaoxue's cover. out of the way.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being elated when he saw it, it turned out that there was a seven-character poem about plum blossoms recorded on the paper ball, after a quick look at it, even someone at her level could tell that it was a good literary talent!
What a big pie fell from the sky!
Is this called joy from the sky? Unknowingly, she was elated and smiled, she folded the ball of paper into her sleeve calmly, and said to Xiaoxue with a light smile, "Is it okay, sister?"
Xiaoxue nodded slightly with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I've thought about a song, it's enough for business. You—"
"I got it too, don't worry about my sister!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled at her and blinked.
Originally, she wanted Xiaoxue to help make a song, but then she thought that this is in front of the queen, if someone saw and stabbed her, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor! I'd rather be laughed at than take the risk.
Who knows, if you're lucky, the south wall won't be able to stop it!
Lu Xiaoshu didn't bother to think about who was being a good person, so he calmly copied the Qilu on a piece of paper and taught it together with everyone.
All the poem manuscripts were handed in at once, and everyone was talking in whispers about which girl would win the first prize, and looked up eagerly.
The queen ordered the poems to be passed on to all the concubines, and at the same time ordered to pass them on to all the wives, and then selected a few poems and ordered the female officials to read them out, and everyone praised each other for a while.
Lu Xiaoshu never dreamed that she would win the championship in the end!
"The Qilu poem by the second girl from the Lu family in Changping Hou's Mansion is not only well-written and literary, but also novel and unique in conception. It is absolutely perfect, and it is inevitable that it will win the first place! What do you think?"
The queen scanned everyone with gentle eyes, and said with a smile: "Although today is a small matter for fun, we must pay attention to fairness and justice, and deserve it! If anyone has a different opinion, feel free to bring it up, and we can discuss it again." Well!"
As soon as the Queen's words came out, the girls who were very self-reliant but failed suddenly had hope in their hearts. However, soon disappointed again.
Because they secretly compared what they did with Lu Xiaoshu's in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel frustrated, there is indeed - there is a gap!
Since this is the case, and the queen is so happy, it is better to say more flattering words to please the queen!
So everyone laughed and said that this is what everyone expects, and there is no objection!
"Miss Lu Er is really wonderful!"
"That's right, plum blossom poems have been the most numerous since ancient times, and it's also the hardest to come up with new ideas. It's no wonder Miss Lu Er has such a great talent!"
"Miss Lu's plum blossom poem is not inferior even if it is included in the poems of Tang and Song Dynasties!"
"..."
The praise flooded in from all directions, submerging Lu Xiaoshu in it, making her a little dazed for a moment.
Isn't she dreaming? She, a person who doesn't know how to compose poetry at all, is being complimented by everyone at this moment, and she has won the first place.
Lu Xiaoshu was still in a daze, until her mother Mu Qing gently pushed her, then she woke up like a dream.
She was a little silly, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Mu Qing in a daze.
Mu Qing didn't expect her daughter to win the first place, it can be said that it was an unexpected joy, at this time her face was smiling like a flower, and she said softly to her with a smile: "Is the empress calling you? Don't hurry up."
"That's right, Xiao Shu, go and go! Our Xiao Shu is really good!" Miao Cuilan also smiled from ear to ear, and said the first sentence since entering the palace that she felt relaxed when speaking .
Xiaoxue knew the inside story, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, but looked at Lu Xiaoshu very gently.
Only now did Lu Xiaoshu realize that he had become the center of everyone's attention, and suddenly felt a little guilty. Subconsciously lowering his head, he was mechanically led forward by the leading eunuch, and knelt down in front of the queen.
In Mu Qing's eyes, her demeanor and expression are undoubtedly the performance of everyone's reserved, restrained and modest, and Mu Qing is even more satisfied! She secretly said in her heart: After all, it is my daughter. Don't look at the carefree and joking on weekdays, but she is steady at this critical moment! I don't know how many people are much stronger!
The rest of the wives and girls saw that she was leading the coquettish and did not look proud and complacent, and she had no intention of showing off, so the jealousy in their hearts could not help but decrease by two points.
"Second Miss Lu, thank you!" The little eunuch was dumbfounded after seeing her kneeling down, thinking that she was overjoyed and didn't know how to react, so he reminded her in a low voice.
Lu Xiaoshu's heart trembled, and he finally woke up completely. He hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My lady, my lady, thank you, the empress, for your reward..."
The queen laughed and said softly: "You deserve it, you don't have to thank me! It's my luck to see such a good plum blossom poem today! Miss Lu Er is neither arrogant nor impatient, she really is everyone's demeanor Mrs. Lu, you are good at teaching girls!"
"The empress is ridiculously praised, and I dare not be a concubine!" Mu Qing hurriedly stood up and replied respectfully.
The queen was more and more satisfied, she raised her hand to Mu Qing with a smile to signal her to sit down, and said to Lu Xiaoshu with a smile: "Come on, Miss Lu, come forward, I will personally put this bracelet on for you!"
"..." Lu Xiaoshu felt even more ashamed, as if he was sitting on pins and needles!
But the queen's order could not be disobeyed, so she had no choice but to whisper "yes" and stepped forward slowly.
Sure enough, the queen picked up the bright and gorgeous plum blossom with a smile, looked at it carefully, and inserted it carefully into her bun. Lu Xiaoshu suddenly felt a lot of weight on his head.
The long tassels hung down on one side of the bun, and a little light was reflected as they swayed slightly. The brilliant pearls and jade made her complexion brighter.
The queen looked at her, smiled and praised "Good!", the satisfaction and liking in her eyes was indescribable. He looked at Lu Xiaoshu and lowered his head.
All the people present were envious, and thought: I don't know what kind of luck this second girl from the Lu family has had, to be so favored by the empress! Looking at it like this, the empress not only likes her plum blossom poems, but also likes her even more!
From now on, this girl will flourish!
The princess also smiled, but her heart was full of jealousy. The queen has never looked at her like this before, why look at a stinky girl!
Isn't it just a plum blossom poem? As for it!
Ouch! The concubine's heart trembled, and she thought: The queen mother has taken a fancy to this girl from the Lu family, and wants to point her to the prince as a side concubine, right
Recalling the last time she warned herself not to trouble Lu Xiaoshu again, the princess felt more and more that her guess was right, and her heart was so sour that she almost squeezed out a vat of vinegar.
"Okay! Let's go down! This child is really painful." The queen said with a smile after seeing enough.
Lu Xiaoshu was longing for this sound, so he quickly thanked him and withdrew.
It hurts? She was a little speechless, she really didn't know why her wooden performance was worth hurting
Could it be that the Empress really likes the plum blossom poem so much that she loves the house and the crow? Or, her taste is different from others...
"Since the queen mother likes Miss Lu Er so much, and the concubine dares to dare, why doesn't the queen mother recognize her as a righteous daughter! This way the concubine will have an extra sister!" The princess immediately said impatiently.
Everyone here is not a fool, especially these ladies, not only are they not stupid, on the contrary they are also very shrewd. Hearing this, I didn't realize that you looked at me and I looked at you, secretly wanting to laugh.
They all understood what the princess meant.
The Empress naturally understood what the Crown Princess meant, and also knew that everyone must understand as well as she did, so her complexion darkened, and she cursed inwardly, "Shame on me!"
She didn't answer the Crown Princess's words, but she smiled at Mu Qing: "Madam Lu, I would like to ask by the way, has this girl ever betrothed to someone else?"
Mu Qing's face also changed slightly.
She really hoped that her daughter would marry a good family, but she never thought of marrying her into the royal family. Marrying into the royal family seems to be rich and powerful, but in fact, such a life of intrigue may not be suitable for my daughter!
Lu Xiaoshu's heart was also caught in the air, she was even more nervous than Mu Qing.
Queen, what does this mean? She couldn't help secretly regretting that she would not have copied that plum blossom poem if she knew it earlier. Sure enough, even God couldn't stand it after doing such a thing...
"Go back to Empress Empress, still, never..." Mu Qing didn't dare to lie, so she got up and replied with a smile.
"Okay, okay!" The queen was even more satisfied when she heard the words, she took a deep look at Lu Xiaoshu and nodded, and said with a smile: "Such a good girl, you can't betrothed to others at will! You have to be worthy of her!"
