Liu Ye wrote twenty poems and then left. When the surrounding ministers saw the twenty poems written by the concubine, they all praised her.
After Zhou Huiwan enjoyed the compliments from the ladies from the aristocratic families, she wrote down the poem she had thought of. Then she went to the judges with many ladies from the aristocratic families and handed in the poems. As she walked, she saw something in a pavilion.
There were only a few people, but quite a few officials held their heads high, pacing, stroking their beards, shaking their heads and mumbling to themselves, not knowing what they were mumbling.
Some were holding papers, stroking their beards, looking happy, while the people next to them were talking. Even her grandfather nodded with a smile.
Zhou Huiwan frowned, walked to the sacrificial wine, and listened to him say: "The water splashing in the boat makes the color green, and the wind on the threshold makes the handle fragrant. Thank you Huansha for your perseverance, and the mandarin ducks are left in the rain. Good! That's true!
Good! There is not a single word "Lotus" in the whole article, but the word "Lotus" is not used in every sentence! How wonderful!"
"Master Jijiu, this is a poem I made!" He said, passing the paper in his hand.
Jijiu glanced at Zhou Huiwan, took it, looked at it, frowned, and said, "The poem is good, but the artistic conception is a bit off. Miss Zhou will just write her signature and wait for everyone to read it together."
Zhou Huiwan was not very happy, but after Jiujiu said so, she had no choice but to do this. Then when she saw other noble ladies receiving the same treatment, she felt much less unhappy.
I don’t know whose poem they are reviewing now, but no matter whose poem it is, as long as it can win Willow Leaf!
However, when the results of the competition came in the afternoon, Zhou Huiwan almost smashed her boudoir. It was Liu Ye again, how could it be possible?
How could she, a country woman from the countryside, be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be the best in everything!
However, considering that the Empress was famous for her talents and learning, Wei Xin grew up with the Empress, so naturally his talents and learning were extraordinary.
If Liu Ye learns from him, it is inevitable to excel!
Thinking of this, while persuading myself, I became even more depressed!
I am actually worse than a country woman!
Only pot throwing and horse racing were left. Almost all girls from aristocratic families could throw pot, but many girls from aristocratic families could not ride horses, so Emperor Huicheng decided to throw pot first and then race horses.
This time the pot was thrown from a relatively long distance. Even Zhou Huiwan only threw nine arrows. However, Luo Yuxuan threw ten arrows and Xie Ying from the Yongwei Marquis Mansion also hit all of them.
Tuoba Qixiu saw that his strength had finally come, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Concubine, although you are great and have won all the previous competitions, you will definitely not win this horse riding and archery. If you lose,
, how about I still have the position of concubine?"
"I'll tell you after you win first!" Liu Ye said with a smile.
Tuoba Qixiu thought that Liu Ye had already agreed. He raised his chin and glanced at her, saying, "I'm going to show you today what throwing a pot is."
After saying that, he stood upright, took out a black cloth, covered his eyes, then took out the arrow in his hand and threw it out.
The short arrow suddenly entered the bamboo tube as if it had eyes.
One stick, two sticks, and soon all ten sticks went into the bamboo tube!
Tuoba Qixiu took off the cloth and said with a smile: "Concubine, I win!"
Liu Ye smiled sarcastically and said, "Who said you won? I haven't voted yet!"
After saying that, he ordered in a deep voice: "Here, move the bamboo tube back one meter."
The surrounding guards looked at Emperor Huicheng, saw him nodding, and hurriedly moved the bamboo tube back one meter. Liu Ye also took out a piece of cloth, blindfolded his eyes, and then threw two short arrows out at the same time.
With a clang, two arrows fell into the bamboo tube at the same time!
Immediately afterwards, two more short arrows flew out, then three more, and then all flew out and entered the bamboo tube.
Liu Ye took off the strip of cloth, and Tuoba's handsome face was so dark it could have been ink.
Tuoba Qixiu looked at Liuye bitterly and said: "You don't have to be proud, I will definitely win the horse riding."
With that said, he turned around and left.
Liu Ye smiled and didn't care. She knew that Xirong's horses were all high-quality BMWs with fast speed and strong footsteps. However, Dachang also had many tribute BMWs. It was not difficult to win Tuoba Qixiu.
There are many horses in the palace, and you can choose which horse to ride, but Liuye doesn't know how to choose, and she doesn't listen to the horse breeder's introduction to find the horse she likes.
Finally, she took a look at a brown horse with a white hair on its head that looked like a lightning bolt. She touched it and said with a smile: "Is your horse a lightning bolt? You must be very fast, right? We will work together in a while."
, is it okay to run first?”
The horse seemed to be able to understand Liu Ye's words, and rubbed its head against her hand, acting very docile.
Liu Ye liked it very much and said, "This is the one!"
The palace man said with a smile: "The great concubine has good eyesight. This horse is called Lightning. It was tamed recently after paying tribute. It is young, has strong legs and is fast! It is no worse than a sweaty horse! I will help you lead it out."
Liu Ye nodded and walked out first. When she saw the palace man leading the horse out, she took a bite of the straw beside her and said, "Didn't you feed it today?"
The palace man said: "Hey, Lightning has a good appetite. He can't stop eating!" After saying that, he grabbed a lot of grass from the manger and fed it.
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Go and do your work! I'll feed it!"
"No, no, Concubine. The competition is about to start. If you feed her too much, it will not be conducive to Lightning's running. But if you don't feed her, Lightning won't be able to run."
As he said that, he fed Lightning and pulled it out.
Liu Ye didn't expect this horse to be so greedy, so he couldn't help but smile and pet it and said, as long as you can run first, he will definitely feed you to the fullest.
Liuye led the horse to the place where the competition was held, and saw that the ladies had already arrived with the horse and were talking.
Zhou Huiwan looked at Liu Ye and her horse, and said with a smile: "Concubine, your horse is really strong!"
Liu Ye also smiled and said: "The horses you ladies have are also pretty good!"
While he was talking, he saw Tuoba Qixiu walking over.
This is a royal racecourse, specially used for horse racing by princes, grandsons and noble sons. There are many obstacles. After King Cheng told the rules, the horse racing started!
Tuoba Qixiu took the lead, followed by Xie Ying, then Zhou Huiwan, and beside her was Luo Yuxuan. Although Liu Ye was two steps behind, she didn't care. She had to ride three laps on the racecourse. She had plenty of time to catch up and train first.
Let’s talk about the tacit understanding with the horse and the obstacles on the racecourse.
In the first lap, Liu Ye fell behind. However, in the second lap, Liu Ye entered the top ten. The third lap soon started. Liu Ye touched the lightning and said with a smile: "Take that."
It's up to you to come down, come on!" He said, urging Lightning to move forward.
But as he ran, Lightning seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to go crazy. He was completely out of Liu Ye's control, and even wanted to throw Liu Ye off his back.
