Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 293 Poetry Club (4)
Princess Qinghua looks rather indifferent, showing royal majesty, her eyes are like spirit beads, her eyes are like streams under the ice, not stained with a trace of worldly dirt, her long and white jade hands are gently stroking the hair on her wrist Beeswax bracelets, facing everyone's salute, just nodded slightly, and then sat down on the table in the front row.

Qingli followed Shui Linghuan and sat in the back row to make up the numbers. The two of them drank some tea from time to time, then knocked melon seeds, and listened to the explanation from the person in front. Palace system, no matter how much money you spend outside, you can't buy it, so the ladies in the capital who came today are still very complete. Qingli also found Zhao Wanqing in the front. She seems to be not on good terms with Miss Ruan's family. This time, he even had the cheek to come here, either for the fourth son or for the golden hairpin, but it is said that it is difficult for anyone to compare to Miss Ruan's family in poetry.

"Ling Huan, it seems that there is still one of the four beauties in the capital who hasn't come yet?"

Qingli looked left and right, but she didn't find anyone who looked like Bai Ruochen's younger sister, Bai Kexin. Unfortunately, there was one more person she didn't see.

"Yeah, she's not in good health, except for the Three Flowers Festival in March every year, she usually doesn't show her face."

Shui Linghuan also looked around and said, "It's strange, where is my cousin? Why can't anyone be seen after the poetry meeting has started?"

"Ahem, I should go to seek medical doctor Bai."

When Qingli said this, she was gloating in her heart. How could Shui Lingli miss such a good opportunity to catch someone? The main purpose of her participation in the poetry meeting was to beat people with a whip.

The host of the poetry meeting is the old lady who came with Princess Qinghua. This time, she came here on behalf of the Queen Mother to pass on the word of mouth. The originally set lottery will be added two more. The top three winners of the poetry meeting will be invited to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother Admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, as soon as the words fell, the ladies below exploded, everyone was full of energy, it was a big face to be able to enter the palace and be summoned by the empress dowager!If the queen mother and her elders like it, it will really become a phoenix.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all of you here must participate regardless of age, and the topic has been chosen by the Queen Mother long ago."

The old mama was still standing in front and talking about the rules of the poetry meeting. There is only one stick of incense time, and everyone will be given a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Because the title is given by the Queen Mother, plagiarism and being the first to find someone to do the poems will be avoided. The disadvantages are completely open and transparent, and the supervisor is actually Princess Qinghua. There are only a few judges, the wife of the general who protects the country, Mrs. Wen, the old mother sent by the queen mother, Princess Qinghua, and a teacher who teaches the princess. A lady of the Lord's learning.

"No, we all have to participate!"

Shui Linghuan exclaimed, then quickly looked around, "Qingli, do you stay here or run with me?"

Writing poems was such a headache, Shui Linghuan deeply regretted it, if she had known this was the case, she would not have come even if the young master of the Yun family appeared at the poetry meeting.

"Do you think we can still run?"

A lot of maidservants suddenly came out from all directions, and distributed a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones to each of the ladies present, and then stood behind them expressionlessly, obviously supervised, and forbidden to discuss each other during the process of composing poems.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all ready. Now the old slave is starting to light incense. The topic given by the queen mother is - the four beauties of the capital. Let's start now!"

As the old mother said, she lit a stick of incense in front of her with a flint. Many ladies were surprised by this topic. In this kind of warm spring weather, there are usually some things about flowers, plants and solar terms. They have prepared them in advance. Okay, I plan to make a big hit this time, but I can't use any of them. What do you mean by the four beauties of the capital?Write about Simei's appearance, one sentence per person, or can you write alone?
No matter how you write it, it is really painful for these beauties to write about beauties. Ruan Ranran thought hard, this time she is bound to win the championship, and it is very important to meet the Queen Mother. She is not engaged yet, but this is a matter of a year or so, mother She has already found a suitable family for her. If she can win the title this time and be summoned by the Queen Mother, then her status will rise and the boat will rise in the future, and she will definitely be able to talk about a good marriage. The third prince Yelu Churen has not yet accepted the concubine. This is her ultimate goal.

"Lady, after you think about it, write quickly, there is still half a stick of incense time."

The old mother watched calmly from the front, and saw that some young ladies had already started to write the first sentence. Qingli and Shui Linghuan sighed in the back row, and gave each other a tacit wink, with a look of sadness on their faces. If you know it, follow Shui Lingli, not only can you see the scene of chasing peach blossom eyes, but you can also avoid this boring poetry competition.

Seeing that the stick of incense was about to burn out, Qingli also picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the paper. In fact, she already had poems in her mind, so she didn't dare to write too fast because everyone had to finish it. I just started to write, and I finished it in one go.

"Okay, put these poems up, and we will judge."

The old mother over there ordered the maidservant, and Shui Linghuan held Qing Li and breathed a sigh of relief, "The poetry meeting is over, after waiting for the results, let's go over there to play. There is a peach blossom forest over there. It's the right time for the flowers to bloom."

This season, in the peach blossom forest, when the wind blows, peach petals will fall on her body. Shui Linghuan just likes this feeling, it is very beautiful.

"Okay, this is my first time here, so I'll follow you."

Qingli and Shui Linghuan were chatting happily, Zhao Wanqing also walked over, with a faint smile, if it wasn't for the empress dowager's favor, she wouldn't come to the servant's mansion, every time she saw Ruan Ranran's pretendingly noble face, she would Disgusting, but no matter how bad Ruan Ranran is, she is still a decent official lady. That little girl named Qingli is just a fourth uncle who became a fourth-rank official, and she is still a country bumpkin, so she can squeeze into this kind of place ?

"Hey, redneck!"

Zhao Wanqing's voice was not low, many young ladies around looked over and discussed in a low voice.

"You bumpkin, how did you get into the poetry club? Is this where you can come?"

"Zhao Wanqing, who are you calling a country bumpkin!"

Shui Linghuan was very upset when she saw Zhao Wanqing coming to find fault. She always bullied the lady of an official's family whose position was lower than her father's, which made people dare not speak out.

"Shui Linghuan, isn't that the one next to you, I mean her."

Zhao Wanqing's face was arrogant, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, although she was young, she also looked very mean, "No wonder you are with a country bumpkin, I remember your father is only a third-rank official, and he is still an outsider. In a place where the birds don't shit, you are also from the country bumpkin."

"Dare you call my father?"

Shui Linghuan stood up and glared at Zhao Wanqing, wishing she could tear her face apart.

"Ling Huan, don't be as knowledgeable as uneducated people."
