The Favoured Medical Princess: 294 Jinxin (second update)
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Under the emperor's instruction, the news of Changdi's defeat spread rapidly in the capital. In almost half a day, everyone knew about it. Together with the Jinxinhui to be held the next day, it became the most popular news in the capital. topic of.
In the noble families in the royal capital, the men were discussing this great victory, who would be the first to take credit, and how the situation in the court would change. The women were nervously preparing their outfits for the girls who were going to Jinxinhui to participate in the preliminary competition.
The Jinxinhui was originally founded by a talented woman from the previous dynasty, and later became a triennial event in the royal capital. After the talented woman passed away, it was organized by the wife of the Imperial College's Jijiu Festival, and the venue was the Imperial College. On weekdays, the Imperial College is a place where idlers are not allowed to enter. On the days when the Jinxin Meeting is held, one can enter the Imperial College to watch the Jinxin Meeting with the plain brocade heart note issued by the wife offering sacrifices to the wine.
There are two types of Jinxintie. One is the Jinxintie, which invites girls to compete. The second one is plain pattern, so you can come to watch the game with the ticket.
Not only is it rare to participate in the gold pattern post, but the plain pattern post is also hard to find. Without a certain status, you can't get a post at all.
Not to mention the review post in Nangong Yue’s hands!
Judges who can become Jinxinhui must be impeccable in terms of background, character, and talent.
In the previous dynasty, the wife of a powerful minister once obtained the judging post by virtue of her husband's power. Before the girls in the competition raised any objections, the students of the Imperial College had already rioted and demonstrated at the gate of the Imperial College, refusing to allow the students to participate in the competition. A lady entered the Imperial College, and in the end the lady had to go back in despair. Later, even the Imperial College's Jijiujiu and his wife were implicated and dismissed from their posts.
The aristocracy of Jinxinhui is evident!
On the day of Jinxinhui, Nangong Yue’s Zhu Lun Chai set off from Zhennan Palace early in the morning. Because Xiao Yi had just received an errand recently, it was rare for her to go out alone and arrived at the destination in less than half an hour. .
"Prince Princess, the Imperial College is here." The coachman reminded outside.
This Imperial Academy was left over from the previous dynasty. After the new dynasty, under the order of the late emperor, it was renovated and expanded to nearly twice the original size. At first glance, it is not only grand, but also quiet and distant, exuding It has a historical flavor.
When you look up, you can see the word "Imperial Imperial College" written on the plaque on the gate. It is gold letters on a black background.
Before Nangong Yue could sigh with emotion, she saw a maid in a blue dress walking out from a row of maids in uniforms and blessing Nangong Yue. These maids have obviously been strictly trained. Each one of them has an outstanding appearance and a well-behaved manner.
As soon as the maid saw Nangong Yue's Zhu Lun Chai, she knew that the other party must have an extraordinary status, but even so, she followed the rules and asked: "Slave Zui Lian has met Madam, can you let me see Jin Xin?" Post?"
Nangong Yue handed the post in her hand to Lily, and then Lily handed it to Zui Lian.
Zuilian was in awe when she saw Nangong Yue's bright red post. Among the posts issued by the Jinxin Society, only the review post was in bright red.
Zuilian opened the post carefully, and after taking a quick look, she finally found out Nangong Yue’s identity.
"I have met the Crown Princess." Zui Lian saluted Nangong Yue again, then led the way for her and explained to her the process of today's competition.
Nangong Yue is a judge of music arts, so she is not going to the ordinary stands, but to the Qionghua Pavilion, which is the judging table.
Nangong Yue followed Zui Lian as she walked slowly. From time to time, she saw many maids in blue dresses guarding the roadside and corridors. After a while, she arrived at the second floor of Qionghua Pavilion.
There are already people in Qionghua Pavilion, chatting in twos and threes.
Nangong Yue glanced around and saw a few familiar faces among them, such as the piano art teacher from the Imperial Academy, Master Wang from the Hanlin Academy, and the wine-sacrifice wife from the Imperial Academy...
Everyone came forward to greet her one by one. Soon, other judges arrived one after another, and Qionghua Pavilion became more and more lively.
It wasn't until the sound of "The Princess Yuncheng has arrived" that Qionghua Pavilion fell silent.
Nangong Yue was stunned. She didn’t expect that Princess Yuncheng was also a judge of the music competition. Yuan Yuyi must have known about it for a long time and deliberately hid it from herself.
At this time, Princess Yuncheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had already entered the pavilion. Everyone bowed to her before taking their seats again.
"Yueer!"
The eldest princess of Yuncheng smiled and waved to Nangong Yue, and asked Nangong Yue to sit next to her. She said, "I was very good at playing the piano when I was young." She seemed to see the surprise in Nangong Yue's heart.
Nangong Yue is familiar with her, so she is not restrained: "Then your Highness will definitely give Yue'er some guidance someday."
After the two joked for a while, the wine-offering lady stepped forward and said to Yuncheng: "Your Highness, it's almost time. Has the competition begun?"
Yuncheng nodded slightly, and with the sound of gongs and drums, a maid loudly announced the start of the music competition and let the contestants take the stage.
Nangong Yue sat behind the window on the second floor, looking down at the competition venue below.
She then noticed that Qionghua Pavilion faced a small garden. It was late spring and early summer, and flowers were blooming in the garden. Peonies, roses, hydrangeas, roses... emitted an intoxicating fragrance, refreshing the heart and mind.
In the garden, a pavilion was facing the judges. The pavilion was surrounded by white tulle. When the wind blew, the tulle fluttered and a piano table was placed in the pavilion.
Soon, a girl wearing a curtain and hat walked into the pavilion with her harp in her arms. After putting down her harp, she sat in front of the desk. She moved her delicate hands, and smooth music flowed out from under her fingers like a mountain. The stream is light and flowing, and a good song "Mountains and Flowing Water"...
The second contestant was a flute player, and her song "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand" also attracted a lot of applause.
In fact, all the girls who can come to the Jinxin Club are extraordinary, but the experts are also divided into high and low. The Jinxin Club is to pick out the most outstanding ones!
When the fifth contestant arrived, Nangong Yue and Yuncheng couldn't help but look at each other, and saw Jiang Yixi walking into the pavilion holding the piano.
She sat upright and put her hands on the piano. A cold and smooth piano sound immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was clearly the end of spring and the beginning of summer, but everyone felt as if they were in the middle of winter.
This song is... Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Soon, the sound of the piano became fresh and smooth, and the rhythm was relaxed and lively, as if winter turned to spring in an instant, the earth revived, all things were prosperous, and full of vitality!
Someone next to me sighed: "What a song "Spring Snow"!"
"Spring Snow" is one of the top ten famous songs, so it is naturally very technical.
Jiang Yixi’s skills are almost impeccable. The melody at the beginning is full of vitality, the melody at the end suddenly rises, and the mood becomes passionate. The music in the turn is sometimes light and smooth, sometimes sonorous and powerful, just like big beads and small beads falling. Jade plate...
Not only her skills, but also her emotions are perfectly displayed, allowing the listener to resonate with the sound of the piano and become immersed in her music.
The smile on Nangong Yue’s lips grew wider, as if she heard Jiang Yixi’s mental journey during this period. Her heart was once as cold as winter, covered with thick frost, until the good news suddenly arrived, like seedlings in spring that are not afraid of the cold. Frost breaks through the ground, and the frost gradually melts under the warm sun. Winter is over and spring is coming.
The once-frozen heart came to life again in the gurgling spring water, full of vitality!
Great!
Nangong Yue did not go to see Jiang Yixi, just listening to her music was enough...
The sound of the piano is the voice of the heart, and it is also the voice of "love"!
Until the sound of the piano stopped, the surroundings were quiet, and no one came back to their senses for a long time.
In the end, Mr. Wang from the Hanlin Academy was the first to applaud. Following the applause from the audience, Nangong Yue also clapped.
This song probably reflects Sister Xi’s mood at the moment. Winter is turning to spring, the earth is recovering...everything is getting better!
The corners of Nangong Yue’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
She couldn't wait to see Mr. Han return to the capital as soon as possible and ask for a wedding drink from Sister Xi.
Although most of the girls behind did not perform, Nangong Yue was already certain that Jiang Yixi would pass today's preliminary round and participate in the finals a month later.
The competition continued, and the girls behind them played "Spring Dawn Song", "Introduction to the Good Night", "Three Plum Blossom Alleys", "Ambush from Flying Daggers"...
About two hours later, the preliminary round of the music art was finally over. After discussion, the judges selected seven of the dozens of girls to advance to the finals. Not surprisingly, Jiang Yixi’s name was also among them, and at the top of the list.
After the incense stick, it is another preliminary competition of today's Jinxinhui - the poetry competition.
Nangong Yue was just a judge of music and art, so the poetry competition was out of her hands, so she resigned to Yuncheng and went downstairs.
Jiang Yixi was waiting for her at the door of Qionghua Pavilion, "Sister Yue!"
"Sister Xi," Nangong Yue stepped forward quickly and praised without hesitation, "the song "White Snow" you just played was really lingering, and the human and the piano were integrated into one. Sister Xi, your piano skills have reached a new level. floor."
Jiang Yixi naturally understood that Nangong Yue must have heard her thoughts from the sound of the piano. For a moment, a flash of shyness flashed in her eyes, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face, and her bright and clear eyes were even brighter in the sunshine. sparkling with light.
Nangong Yue was stunned. She had never seen Jiang Yixi so bright and dazzling before.
At this time, a maid in pink clothes who was thirteen or fourteen years old ran towards the two of them and said, "I have met the imperial concubine, Miss Jiang."
Both Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi knew her. She was Yuan Yuyi's personal maid Hanmei.
Hanmei respectfully reported: "Prince Concubine, Miss Jiang, my county master and Miss Fu Liu, please come to Qiushui Pavilion together." Qiushui Pavilion is the stand for spectators.
After a pause, Hanmei whispered again: "Princess Qi is also in Qiushui Pavilion."
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi glanced at each other. It was natural for Princess Qi to be in Qiushui Pavilion, because Han Qixia would participate in the next poetry competition. As a mother-in-law, how could Princess Qi not come to see her daughter show off her talents?
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi did not intend to avoid Princess Qi specifically. They nodded to indicate that after they found out, they followed Hanmei to Qiushui Pavilion. Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan had already reserved seats for them in the front row on the second floor.
As Princess Qi, she naturally sat in the front row.
Although there was some discord between them and Princess Qi, Princess Qi was the princess after all and the one with the highest status in the Qiushui Pavilion. Therefore, Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi still walked up to Princess Qi after entering the pavilion. He saluted and said, "I have met Princess Qi."
"No courtesy." Princess Qi said stiffly, her whole face almost darkening.
As soon as she saw Jiang Yixi, Princess Qi couldn't help but think of Han Huaijun. She unconsciously clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves and thought to herself: I didn't expect that **** to come back alive! And he also made great achievements... Yesterday, King Qi was even more ecstatic and praised him repeatedly for being "like his father" and being more like himself than the prince. Princess Qi almost fell out of her skin at that time.
Han Huaijun occupies the title of the eldest son, and the King of Qi always misses his mother who died young. He already treats him more favorably than other concubines. Now, he has made great achievements again. When he returns to the capital, he will not be surprised. Is there no distinction between direct lineage and concubine? !
Is it possible that her son's throne is really going to be given to this bitch?
There is also Jiang Yixi, a good lady, but she wants to marry a bastard. She is so shameless!
The more Princess Qi thought about it, the more she hated her. If she hadn't been concerned about the other ladies and ladies in the pavilion, she would have ridiculed Jiang Yixi wantonly. However, it's not bad today. When she gets married into the house, she will know that being a concubine's daughter-in-law is not that easy! snort!
Nangong Yue and Jiang Yixi could guess Princess Qi's thoughts from her blue and white complexion. They looked at each other and smiled, not caring, and went to Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan's side hand in hand.
Seeing that Princess Qi was finally not stupid enough to embarrass Jiang Yixi here, Yuan Yuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile on her face, she praised Jiang Yixi's piano skills so much that Jiang Yixi felt a little embarrassed... …until movement in the garden below diverted their attention.
I saw maids in blue moving tables and chairs into the garden one by one, and soon there were twenty or thirty neat tables and chairs evenly spaced there.
Yuan Yuyi glanced at the half-burned incense next to her and said, "The poetry competition is about to begin. I don't know how prepared Cousin Xia is..." As she said this, Yuan Yuyi became a little nervous.
Speaking of which, the poetry competition is more difficult than the music competition, and it also tests the contestants’ on-the-spot performance. Because the music music repertoire can be prepared in advance, it is easier for the girls to make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and choose a repertoire that is more suitable for them. , and in order to avoid cheating in the poetry competition, questions cannot be set in advance. In previous years, the Jinxin Association always drew lots on site, and after a judge was selected, the judge would then set the topic temporarily.
After the incense was burned, twenty or thirty girls came in one by one and sat at the desk.
Their maids are not allowed to enter the venue, so there is a maid in blue serving each table, grinding ink and laying paper for the participating girls.
Soon, the gongs and drums sounded again, and all eyes were focused on Qionghua Pavilion. I saw a long roll of white paper falling like a waterfall, and you could see that it was written on the white paper: "Huanxi Sand" and "Late Spring".
"Huanxisha" is the name of the Ci brand, and "late spring" is the theme.
As soon as the title came out, it immediately caused a commotion from the surrounding audience. This year’s title was a level higher than in previous years. Poetry competitions in the past usually only had one theme, and the contestants were required to complete it within one stick of incense, which was to compose a poem. Or the lyrics may be decided by the contestants themselves.
But it’s the difficulty that makes it interesting!
Not only the girls competing, but also the judges in the stands were looking down and thinking.
In the venue, a girl in a moon-white dress soon picked up a wolf brush, dipped it in ink and wrote with great energy.
The girl has a beautiful appearance, especially a pair of beautiful eyes that stand out. Under the sun, a layer of bright golden light shines in the black pupils. She has a graceful temperament and a noble and confident aura in her demeanor.
Yuan Yuyi and Jiang Yixi naturally recognized her as Nangong Yue's troubled cousin Bai Muxiao.
Nangong Yue had a smile on her lips. As far as she knew, apart from dancing, Bai Muxiao's best talent was probably writing poetry. It might even be better than her dancing skills. In her previous life, Bai Muxiao did this. He was sought after by many literary students, especially Han Lingfu, who was deeply admired.
Bai Muxiao sought the qualification to participate in the Jinxinhui in every possible way, thinking that she could shine here.
The moment Bai Muxiao started writing, especially the way she moved freely as if she wanted to finish writing in one go, she couldn't help but put invisible pressure on the other girls around her. Some girls could no longer hide their anxiety in their eyes and behavior.
After a while, several girls also picked up the pen holders, but most of them still hesitated to write.
While they were wandering around, Bai Muxiao had already stopped writing, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth under the veil.
She was fully confident that this poem was enough to send her to the finals of the Jinxinhui.
