The banquet has already started, but unlike ordinary banquets, only some fresh melons, fruits and vegetables are prepared, and some light, sweet fruit wine is prepared for drinking, and everything is light.
A maid came over with a tube of bamboo sticks, not too big, but each one was carefully polished and smooth, and the tops were ingeniously carved into the shapes of various flowers, which was very beautiful.
Of course, the bamboo stick was brought to Ning Xueyan first, and the maid raised her hand high, kneeling respectfully in front of Ning Xueyan, waiting for her to draw lots for the first time. Is there any show prepared? The first lottery has been drawn. Whether she likes it or not, she will always perform.
This seems to be respectful, but actually it means that Ning Xueyan must perform it once.
However, Ning Xueyan also expected that Wu Yao would definitely come up with a way that she couldn't refuse, let herself perform, with the piano in front as the laying, in fact, she can guess it.
So when she saw the lottery tube offered by the maid, she smiled slightly, stretched out her hand, and randomly drew a plum blossom lottery. Linglong took it for her, looked at the number below, and said: "Ten"
Not forward or backward, there are at least dozens of ladies present here, and Ning Xueyan's number is not bad.
The maid stepped back and handed them to Princess Muling, Yamoqin, some other ladies, and several young wives in turn.
Those present at the meeting are all young people. After all, those old wives will not come to join in the fun, and at their age, this kind of reputation is useless.
This maid is lined up for a performance. When this maid goes down, other maids will come up. Each of them holds a tray in their hands, and there are pens, ink and a stack of white paper in the tray. For the meeting, to write poetry.
There are also some ladies who brought paper and ink by themselves, so Wu Yao was not chosen to prepare for them.
The trays of pen and ink were respectfully placed in front of them one by one, and the maids stood aside, waiting for them to write down the poems.
Ning Xueyan took the pen and ink that Lan Ning handed over, and looked around slightly. Whether it was Princess Muling on the left or Yamoqin on the right, they didn't seem to pay attention to her, so that her side It seemed very quiet.
Several acquaintances were whispering to each other, as if they were discussing something, Wu Yao had already left at this time, and was not in her seat, as if everyone had selectively forgotten that this Crown Princess, when she was young, I haven't read much, so whether I can write poetry or not is still a question.
If it can be written into poetry, it is certainly highly praised at such a banquet, but what if it can't be written? That's just embarrassing.
Ning Xueyan glanced to the left and right for a while, and then wrote the pen. Although Princess Mu Ling didn't see what Ning Xueyan wrote, but looking at her, she seemed to have poems and books in her stomach, and couldn't help mocking in her heart. He said: "Pretending to be."
She has also inquired about the affairs of the Marquis of Huguo for a while. The concubine in front of her is a typical person who is ignorant and incompetent. Some people taught her to learn poetry and calligraphy, not to mention whether the poems are good or bad, and it is not sure what kind of characters she can write after a while.
Just a little bit is enough to discredit Ning Xueyan.
The people who came this time are all well-known talents and people of insight in the world. These people do not have high official positions, but they are the most able to tell the truth. When they see Ning Xueyan's poems, they will definitely criticize her as penniless. She won't give her any face just because she is a princess.
The real face of this crown princess who is ignorant and ignorant will be torn apart little by little.
Ning Xueyan's poem was written in a flash. After finishing writing, she didn't hand it over to the maid who was waiting at the side. Instead, she handed the paper to Linglong. Very soon, the folded part happened to block the two eyes on both sides who had been secretly watching Ning Xueyan.
When the two people were not paying attention to her, Linglong quickly folded another piece of paper with the one written by Ning Xueyan.
From the outside, it seems to be just a piece of paper, but when it is turned out, it is actually two pieces of paper, two poems...
Princess Muling and Yamoqin curled their lips contemptuously, turned their heads, thought for a while, and each of them agreed with each other. For ladies like them who have been specially trained since childhood, it is not easy to write a poem. Disaster.
Even if you may not be able to get ahead, but at least some of them are still there.
The other maids took the papers and went back, only the maid on Ning Xueyan's side was still waiting eagerly. Ning Xueyan's identity was unusual, she didn't say anything, so the maid naturally didn't dare to say anything, This will still be waiting there with the tray.
"Crown Princess, are you finished?" Princess Mu Ling had finished tidying up at this time, turned her head with a smile, and said to Ning Xueyan.
"It's finished." Ning Xueyan smiled and nodded.
"Since it's finished, why don't you let the maid take it down?" Princess Mu Ling asked in surprise.
"The writing is not very good, and I can't get it out for a while." Ning Xueyan explained softly.
"But if the princess doesn't take it out, they can't comment on it. The princess is always the first guest, and the first thing to look at should be the masterpiece of the princess. We are just setting off the green leaves of the princess. Myself." Yamoqin couldn't help laughing on the side.
Then he exchanged a glance with Princess Muling, and smiled knowingly.
From their point of view, Ning Xueyan obviously couldn't come up with any good poems, but just randomly scribbled some, it must be a mess, Ning Xueyan was embarrassed to do it, so this time Yamoqin is just talking Forced Ning Xueyan to take out the poem.
It means that if Ning Xueyan's poems are not published, other people's poems cannot be commented on.
Ning Xueyan nodded helplessly, and asked Linglong to put the painting on the maid's tray. The maid took it, and hurriedly followed the big troops, and went to the men's seat, so that those talented people could see it. Let the scholars comment, as the judges of today's banquet, they are responsible for an important role of telling the truth.
The poems were passed on one by one, put together, and several people stood together to comment.
In fact, although there are basically everything in the lady's work, it is stable and not outstanding, and there are even a few simple words, which have already made those insightful people shake their heads.
There is one poem in particular, not only does it look extremely uncoordinated as a whole, but the characters are written in such a way that people feel as if they have never learned to write.
Such words, such poems, made everyone who saw them shake their heads, and even secretly guessed, who is the lady who wrote the poem
To actually have the face to attend such a banquet, I really don't know how good the face is, or I look down on myself and deliberately provoke myself!
Therefore, this poem was deliberately taken aside.
When I came to the banquet before, I heard Mrs. Wu Yao say that there are a few ignorant ladies who, relying on the power of their own family, must come to such a banquet, and even forced Mrs. Wu Yao, Mrs. Wu Yao I had to post a post to invite them to come, for such behavior of oppressing others.
Those celebrities are not used to it. Obviously, the poem in front of them is one of these ladies. If it is not in their hands, it will be fine. Now that it is in their hands, the celebrities feel that they You don't have to be polite, it's nothing if you don't give that brazen lady a penny, they are not celebrities in the dynasty.
The mainstay of the clean stream.
Then they saw a poem, a very refreshing little poem. This kind of poem let them relieve their depression just now. It felt like drinking a sip of cool ice water on a hot day. Exudes a sense of comfort.
Needless to say, such a poem immediately won everyone's approval. They felt that a woman who could write such a poem was a well-deserved talented woman, a real woman with profound family knowledge and a family of talents.
The small regular script with plum blossoms on it made several celebrities nod their heads in admiration.
After reading some of them a few times, I feel more and more profound and full of flavor.
The poems were judged quickly, and the three celebrities, representing other celebrities, came to the ladies' side under the guidance of Madam Wu Yao, and told everyone present the results of the evaluation.
"Here is a poem, I don't know who wrote it. If I hadn't seen the whole poem, I would have thought it was some big girl's graffiti. Not only is the handwriting terrible, but the poem is even more straightforward. Can such a poem be called a poem? I have never seen a woman who wrote such a vulgar poem. I wonder which lady who has never read the book wrote it?"
Celebrities are worthy of being celebrities, when they open their mouths, they are not afraid of offending others, their gazes sweep across the faces of all the daughters, without a trace of waves, they have a stern and selfless look.
"Haven't read the book? Is there anyone here who hasn't read the book? It's a shame. If you really don't know how to hit it, just say it. Why do you need to write such a shameful poem? Even we follow along Embarrassing." A few ladies didn't know who the celebrity was talking about, but because of what the celebrity said, it seemed that they were suspected of sweeping away a large number of people.
So they asked one by one.
But the result of the questioning is that everyone has read books for several years, especially the ladies who attended the meeting today. All of them were carefully cultivated by their families. How could it be possible that they can't even write a word well
After a few conversations, I don't know who was the first to mention Ning Xueyan, so all eyes fell on Ning Xueyan suspiciously. Compared with this princess, each of them seems to be very They are talented, and they have been friends with each other before, and they have seen each other's writing, so it's really not that bad.
Of course, except for this princess, I heard that this princess had no education when she was young, followed her biological mother, and never even had a decent teaching teacher.
If anyone in this banquet is most likely to write such bad characters, such bad poems, the only one is the newly appointed princess.
