Chapter 131
Princess Changping glanced at County Princess Fu Min, if she had a point, she said, “Since it’s just a few verbal conflicts, let’s forget about it in the past!”
Don’t mention it today, so as not to spoil the fun
-Princess Changping a word, Fu Min County, do not dare to speak again unrestrained, fiercely glared at Ling Jingshu, they resentfully retracted his gaze
Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully at Princess Changping, “Thank you, Your Highness, for doing justice to our sisters”
Princess Changping smiled casually, “A small matter, not worth mentioning”
And smiled to the crowd, “All of you with this palace together on the third floor of the viewing pavilion, where it is most suitable for enjoying the lotus”
The maidens all agreed
This viewing pavilion has three floors
The bottom floor can hold thirty to forty people, the second and third floors are smaller, about twenty people can sit
There were about ten people who came to the banquet today
The maids all stayed on the second floor
A few palace maids who played music however followed to the third floor
Through the delicate openwork railings, the beauty of the lake was unobstructed
Pure white veil gently draped down, and a white soft blanket was laid on the ground
Red sandalwood tables and chairs were placed on the blanket, and each table was set with various colors of fresh fruits and snacks, which happened to be a seat for two people
The first and second floors of the Viewing Pavilion were also considered exquisite, but compared to the luxury of the third floor, it was far from it
Princess Changping obviously often here to hold banquets for fun, without pity to step on the white blanket, sat on the seat
-County Princess Fu Min logically sat down beside her
Jiang and Jiang Solyue took a seat, and Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan took a seat in the far cornerAh Shu,” Ling Jingshu lowered her voice and said quietly, “This kind of blanket is produced outside of the Seychelles and is extremely expensive
We have a piece of it at home, and my mother keeps it in the storehouse!”
Princess Changping, however, used it to lay it on the ground, saying that she could not use it once and then discarded it, which was really extravagant and wasteful, staggering
Ling Jingshu raised her eyes, looked away from the smiling bright and brilliant Princess Changping a glance, quickly lowered her eyelids again, said faintly: “Your Highness the Princess of honor
What kind of good things under the sky can be used”
Ling Jingyan was stunned and gave Ling Jingshu a strange look
This kind of words, it really didn’t seem like something she would say
Ling Jingshu raised her head with a calm demeanor and said to Ling Jingyan with a smile, “Don’t look silly
There are so many fresh fruits on the table
Don’t try them yet”
It was summer time and the weather would have been a bit dry and hot
However, the Viewing Pavilion was located in the center of the lake, and the wind from the lake blew over in a gust, only refreshing the mind and heart
Most of the fruits were rare in this season
Ling Jingyan only looked twice
-She was aroused by the cravings
Naturally, she put all her doubts to the back of her mind
She touched one and ate it
The palace maids sitting on the side played the musical instruments in their hands
I don’t know what kind of tune they were playing, but it was quite cheerful and pleasing to the ears
The crowd ate some fresh fruits and snacks, and drank some tea, and casually said some gossip, the atmosphere is also relaxed and happy
Princess Changping gently clapped her hands, the music stopped
Princess Changping said with a smile: “Gentlemen, today is the lotus feast, since it is to be the theme of the lotus
This lake’s lotus flowers and leaves, graceful and graceful
Beautiful
Below we will each enjoy the lotus, and then each show their strengths
How about painting and poetry?”
Cabinet women’s party, pay attention to the elegance, drinking and drinking orders and so on is not suitable
Appreciating songs and dances is too clichéd, making poems and paintings is just what everyone wants
Su Ying smiled and responded, “Your Highness’s proposal is excellent
I wonder if there is a time limit?
Also, can there be someone to judge the poems and paintings?
Does the winner have some prizes?”
Princess Changping smiled and answered one by one, “Whether you are composing poems or paintings, it’s not beautiful to rush, so there’s no need to be in a hurry
Take one hour as the limit
As for the judgment
This palace will have the honor to be the judge
If the poem is well done, or the painting is well done, you can take any one of them from the Viewing Pavilion today as a prize”
The furnishings in the Viewing Pavilion were extravagant and exquisite
Even the vases placed on the table were rare treasures
Of course, those who were qualified to come to the banquet were all famous girls, not so much as to put the lottery in their eyes
It was just a fun thing to do
Jiang Solyue was the first to smile and clap her hands, “Your Highness is so generous, then we won’t be polite today”
The crowd laughed and agreedThis Kui today, I don’t need to compare to know that it must be Second Miss Su”
The young girl sitting next to Su Ying covered her mouth and laughed, “Second Miss Su is both excellent in poetry and painting
In the capital, if you say second, no one dares to say first
With Second Miss Su here today, where do we have a chance”
This banter, half true and half false, not without a hint of sour flavor floating out
Su Ying was probably used to hearing such compliments, smiled and humbled herself a few times, “Fourth Miss Li has flattered me
There are people beyond the sky, although I have some attainments in poetry and painting, but I have no face to call what the first”
Jiang Shuyue smiled and took over the conversation, “Sister Su is too polite to say so
With you here, it is indeed meaningless for us to compare
In my opinion, you should not go down to the field today, it’s best to be a judge together with Her Highness”
This proposal was obviously very much in line with the hearts of the crowd
Su Ying half-heartedly agreed
Ling Jingshu was secretly surprised in her heart
Jiang Shuyue and Su Ying spoke in a rather casual tone, obviously very familiar
If you say that the relationship is good, but do not see, but some of the meaning of the first parting of the seed
The maidens began to rack their brains and think hard
The palace maidens gently and sharply cleaned up the table, and methodically presented the pen, ink, paper and inkstone
Ling Jingyan Ling Jingshu is no exception, in front of the table on a pile of white rice paper, painting pigments, writing ink stone ink ingots, and different sizes of brushes and so on
Everything was of the highest quality
Most of the famous girls present are well read and good at calligraphy and painting
Even if they are not very proficient, it is always no problem to make a lotus picture with a brush
Ling Jingyan put her eyes into the distance and carefully viewed it for a long time before moving her brush
Movements a little slower, also in a tea time to do it
One hour is not too short to say short, but not too long to say long
To draw a picture of a lotus flower and then inscribe a poem, the difficulty was by no means small
Ling Jingshu, however, had been sitting quietly without moving her brush, her eyes gazing at the lake
Ling Jingyan busily finished her draft and looked up, but saw that the paper in front of Ling Jingshu was still blank, and couldn’t help but be startled: “Ah Shu, half the time has almost passed, why don’t you move your brush?”
If it dragged on like this, it would be too late
Ling Jingshu smiled faintly and was about to speak when a contemptuous cold laugh sounded, “If you don’t have the face to move your pen, you should give up earlier, so as not to be embarrassed later”
