Chapter 23: Six Competitions

She was the only one at the round table where An Xiaoman was sitting. Because of her violent temper, the other daughters talked to her, and An Xiaoman would punch out if they disagreed with her. Therefore, few daughters had the courage to tangle with her.

So at this moment, when they saw Qiu Liyue walking towards An Xiaoman, everyone's eyes dimmed, and the expressions on their faces were different. Some were envious, some hated, and some jealous...

Qiu Liyue smiled lightly and sat down next to An Xiaoman. She glanced around at the various eyes and said slowly, "Why aren't you with them?"

An Xiaoman waved her little hand that was clenched into a fist and said, "Are they worthy? If they dare to come, I will slap their faces!" There was no politeness in her words, and she actually did the same, so An Xiaoman

I actually don’t have many friends in Kyoto.

The two of them were talking quietly when they suddenly heard a crisp voice saying loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, Princess Lixia would like to thank you all for coming here." The maid in blue palace clothes turned their gazes when she saw them.

They all turned to her and struck each other with their palms, "Pah!" "Pah!"

I saw two more maids in palace clothes carefully carrying a flower pot through the dense cherry blossoms, and then placed the flower pot in their hands on the round table with extreme caution.

Suddenly there were gasps of air from the crowd.

I saw that the plant in the flowerpot had layers of dense leaves, and a stem was pulled out from the clusters of leaves, like the graceful figure of a beautiful woman, until the top of the stem formed a flower.

There are seven transparent petals, each petal has a different color, a total of seven colors: yellow, red, blue, green, orange, purple and cyan. The whole flower is like a stunning beauty.

"This is the seven-color pansy. It took Princess Minghui two years to cultivate it with the help of the hot springs in the White Jade Villa. There are three plants in total. One has been given to the Queen, and the other one is with Princess Minghui. So

It’s the third one. Ladies and gentlemen, you can look at it as much as you like, but don’t reach out and touch it, the seven-colored pansy is extremely delicate.”

"In addition, after all ladies have admired the seven-colored pansy, please move to the willow forest in front. Princess Lixia has set up six competition venues for calligraphy, painting, chess, music, dance, and poetry. She also invited former students from Bailu Academy

Master Zhang, who was the emperor's teacher, Master Zhao who was good at painting, Master Liu who was good at chess, Master Sun and Master Le from the palace music studio, and Princess Minghui, who raised a seven-color pansy, served as judges for this competition.

Moreover, the eldest princess has sent word that this seven-colored pansy will also be given as a prize to the most talented girl in Kyoto who wins the first place."

As soon as the maid's voice fell, the crowd exploded. All the rich ladies began to gear up. Let's not talk about the name of this most talented girl in Kyoto. In addition to the famous young masters from various families, the young masters who came this time

, and the prince? If his performance catches anyone's eye, it will skyrocket. What's more, the pot of seven-color pansy is added to the lottery, which is a rare treasure even if there is money.

But when the maid left, Qiu Liyue felt that the look she gave her had a profound meaning. She also thought of the scene when she saw Princess Lixia just now, her thoughts moved, and the corner of her mouth curled up.

An Xiaoman turned his head around and saw the young masters leaving one after another. The young lady finally couldn't help but said, "Liyue, let's go and see the excitement too?"

Qiu Liyue nodded and stood up. She probably had ulterior motives for this competition. Even if she didn't go, someone would come over to invite her later, so she might as well be more conscious.

An Xiaoman took Qiu Liyue's arm and looked around the six venues with great interest. Looking at An Xiaoman who was in high spirits, Qiu Liyue asked with a smile, "Xiaoman, why don't you go and show yourself?"

Skills?".

"Me? If Princess Lixia sets up a competition venue, I will definitely go up and win the first place. As for these frivolous words, it is annoying to watch." An Xiaoman waved his hands without hesitation and said, as if he was chasing away flies.

But when his eyes turned to Qiu Liyue, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why don't you show off?"

"How can singing be as comfortable as watching a show?" Qiu Liyue looked at Qiu Lixing who was dancing on the stage, and saw her gently turning her body to spread out her long skirt, holding her slender waist, and gently turning to the quiet sound of the flute.

Slowly spinning, her graceful figure was like light snowflakes all over the sky. Not only did she stare at many famous men, but even many rich ladies couldn't take their eyes away.

It didn't take long for the results of various competitions to come out. Mo Yingran from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion won the first place in music, Ning Luoge won the first place in chess and calligraphy, and Qiu Lixing won the three awards of dance, painting and poetry.

First.

Seeing the result, Princess Lixia nodded with satisfaction, turned to the gathered ladies with a pretty face and said, "It seems that Miss Qiu Lixing from the Qiu Mansion came out on top and won the title of the most talented girl in Kyoto.

If any of you ladies are dissatisfied with the title, you can propose it now."

After waiting for a moment, no one said anything, and the smile on Princess Lixia's face became even wider, "Then since no one objects, the title of our most talented girl in Kyoto falls on Miss Qiu Lixing?"

Qiu Lixing glanced around with the most decent smile. When she saw the third prince Nalancan and the fourth prince Nalanxuan focusing on her, she couldn't help but straighten her back. Qiu Liyue, you

Do you think you can get ahead by pretending to be pitiful to win the emperor's attention? Look at me, this is based on your true ability.

Princess Lixia was about to get the prize for this competition when she suddenly thought of something, "Huh? I remember that a young lady came to the Qiu Mansion today?" Princess Lixia deliberately looked at Qiu with her probing eyes as she spoke.

Glass Star.

Qiu Lixing nodded and said, "Back to the princess, my sister is here too."

"I remember she didn't show any talents? Miss Qiu, do you think you look down on me?" Princess Lixia smiled and followed Qiu Lixing's gaze to Qiu Liyue.

Everyone then turned their attention to Qiu Liyue. Qiu Liyue smiled and saluted Princess Lixia, "Princess is serious! Liyue did not mean this!"

"That's good! My sister's talent is so outstanding, I think you as my sister must be even better? I wonder if you can show it to us?" Princess Lixia smiled.

As expected, Qiu Liyue was waiting for her here, "This, this..."

"Sister, since the princess has said so, how about you just dance a song?" Qiu Lixing advised sincerely.

Dance? Qiu Liyue couldn't help but sneered in her heart. Yun Ruo had hired the best dancers in the capital for them since they were young, and taught them how to dance. But they were young at the time, and Qiu Liyue had just complained about the hard work of practicing dance, and Yun Ruo
