Luoyang Brocade Chapter 131: Poetry and Painting

Princess Changping glanced at Princess Fumin and said pointedly: "Since it was just a few verbal conflicts, let's forget about it!"

Don't mention it today, lest it spoil the fun.

As soon as Princess Changping spoke, Princess Fumin did not dare to speak any more unscrupulously. She glared at Ling Jingshu fiercely and then withdrew her gaze angrily.

Ling Jingshu smiled gratefully at Princess Changping: "Thank you, Your Highness, for upholding justice for our sisters."

Princess Changping smiled casually: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Then she said to everyone with a smile: "Follow me to the third floor of the viewing pavilion, which is the most suitable place for lotus viewing."

All the girls are ready.

This viewing pavilion has three floors. The bottom floor can accommodate thirty or forty people, while the second and third floors are smaller and can accommodate about twenty people.

About ten people came to the banquet today. The maids all stayed on the second floor. Several maids playing music followed them to the third floor.

Through the exquisitely carved railings, you can have an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery on the lake. Pure white gauze hangs down gently, and the ground is covered with a soft white blanket. Red sandalwood tables and chairs were placed on the blanket, and various fresh fruit snacks were placed on each table, which happened to be a seat for two people.

The first and second floors of the viewing pavilion are considered exquisite, but compared to the luxury of the third floor, they are far behind.

Princess Changping obviously often held banquets here to entertain herself. She stepped on the white blanket without mercy and took the top position. Princess Fumin sat down next to her naturally.

Mr. Jiang and Jiang Rongyue took a seat, while Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan took a seat in the corner.

"Ah Shu," Ling Jingyan lowered her voice and whispered: "This kind of blanket is produced outside the Great Wall, and the price is extremely high. We also have one at home, and my mother keeps it in the warehouse!"

Princess Changping took it and spread it on the ground. Maybe she would throw it away after using it once. It is truly a staggering extravagance and waste.

Ling Jingshu raised her eyes and glanced at the smiling and bright Princess Changping from a distance. She quickly lowered her eyelids and said lightly: "With the dignity of Your Highness, you can use all kinds of good things in the world."

Ling Jingyan was startled and looked at Ling Jingshu strangely.

Such words. It's really not like she would say it.

Ling Jingshu raised her head with a calm expression. She smiled and said to Ling Jingyan: "Don't just look at it. There are so many delicious fruits on the table and you haven't tried them yet."

It is summer, and the weather is somewhat hot. but. The viewing pavilion is located in the middle of the lake. The wind from the lake blows over, which makes people feel refreshed and relaxed. Most of those fresh fruits are rare in this season.

Ling Jingyan only glanced at it twice before she became greedy. All doubts were naturally thrown to the back of my mind. Picked one up and ate it.

……

The maids sitting aside. He started playing the instrument in his hand. I don’t know what kind of music it is playing, but it is quite cheerful and sweet.

Everyone ate some fresh fruit snacks. After drinking some more tea and chatting casually, the atmosphere became relaxed and happy.

Princess Changping clapped her hands gently and the music stopped.

Princess Changping said with a smile: "Everyone, since today is a lotus appreciation feast, it is natural to take the lotus as the theme. The lotus leaves in this lake are graceful and graceful. They are so beautiful. Now let's enjoy the lotus separately, and then we can show off the lotus. Director. How about writing paintings and poems?"

Girls' party in boudoir. The emphasis is on elegance, and it is not suitable to drink and drink. Appreciating singing and dancing is too old-fashioned, so the suggestion of writing poems and paintings is just what everyone wants.

Su Ying responded with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess's proposal is excellent. Is there a time limit? Also, can someone judge the poems and paintings? Is there any prize for the winner?"

Princess Changping smiled and answered one by one: "Whether it is poetry or painting, it is not beautiful to rush, so there is no need to rush. It is limited to one hour. As for the judgment, I will be shameless and do it. Judgment. If the poem is well done or the painting is well done, you can take anything from the viewing pavilion as a lottery today."

The furnishings in the viewing pavilion are luxurious and exquisite, and even the vases placed on the table are rare treasures.

Of course, those who are qualified to attend the banquet are all ladies from famous families, so they will not take the lottery in their eyes. Gambling is just fun.

Jiang Rongyue was the first to smile and clapped her hands: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is so generous, so we won't be polite today."

Everyone laughed and agreed.

"Today's leader, no need to compare, must be Miss Su Er."

The girl sitting next to Su Ying covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss Su Er is a master of poetry and painting. If we are second in the capital, no one dares to be first. With Miss Su here today, how can we have a chance?" ."

This joke is half true and half false, with a hint of sourness.

Su Ying was probably used to hearing such compliments, so she smiled and said a few words of modesty: "Miss Li Si is ridiculous. There are people who are better than others. Although I have some attainments in poetry and painting, I have no shame in saying so. One."

Jiang Rongyue took over the conversation with a smile: "Sister Su, that's too polite to say that. As long as you are here, it's really meaningless for us to compete. In my opinion, don't end up with Her Majesty the Princess today. It’s best to judge together.”

This proposal is obviously very popular.

Su Ying half pushed and half agreed on the spot.

Ling Jingshu was secretly surprised.

Jiang Rongyue and Su Ying spoke in a casual tone, obviously very familiar with each other. If we say how good the relationship is, but it’s not necessarily there, it’s a bit different...

The girls began to rack their brains and think hard.

The palace ladies cleared the table neatly and neatly, and presented pens, inks, paper and inkstones in an orderly manner.

Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu are no exception ~IndoMTL.com~ On the table in front of her is a pile of white rice paper, paints for painting, inkstones for writing, and brushes of different sizes, etc. Everything is top quality.

Most of the ladies from famous families present are well-read in poetry and calligraphy and are good at calligraphy and painting. Even if you are not very proficient, you can still draw a lotus picture with a pen.

Ling Jingyan looked far into the distance and watched carefully for a long time before she started writing.

Those who moved a little slower also started during a cup of tea. An hour is not short, but it is not long. To draw a lotus picture and write a poem is not easy.

Ling Jingshu, however, has been sitting quietly without writing, staring at the lake.

Ling Jingyan was busy typing up the manuscript. When she looked up, she saw that the paper in front of Ling Jingshu was still blank. She couldn't help but be surprised: "Ah Shu, half of the time has passed, why haven't you started writing?"

If we continue to delay like this, it will be too late.

Ling Jingshu smiled faintly and was about to speak when a disdainful sneer rang out: "If you don't have the courage to write, just give up early so as not to be embarrassed later." (To be continued.)
