Chapter 6 Painting Spring
The two pavilions were filled with people, and they had a look of anticipation in their eyes, especially the women in the boudoir with their eyebrows and hair, all looking at the place where the envoys of Yujing Kingdom were located. However, the pavilion was covered by a gauze curtain, and only people could vaguely see someone sitting upright in it. I wonder if it was the envoy princess.
Ziyi walked towards the envoy's pavilion. The women were quite resentful, hoping that he could stop for a while, just a moment. Ziyi seemed to sense their gaze, and suddenly stopped moving forward and looked back slightly behind him. A faint smile appeared on Fengshen's handsome face.
"Wow, the Second Prince laughed!" There was a sigh below. This was really a wonder that had never been seen before.
But everyone didn't know that what he was facing from afar was where Jin Xi and the others were.
A father-in-law holding a whisk lifted the corner of the curtain for him, and the breeze blew by, taking away his last figure. "Mr., it's been a long time since he left." After he entered, he smiled at the person sitting in the pavilion.
The man smiled back and forth.
"Please be quiet, ladies, please~" As the eunuch shouted loudly, the noisy garden suddenly became much quieter, and everyone was waiting for his next sentence.
"According to the oral order of the Empress, at the invitation of Princess Xiangcheng, Yujingguo, a garden party was specially set up in Wangshan. I would like to invite all the young ladies to come and enjoy the spring." After saying that, he bowed and invited Princess Xiangcheng to leave.
The princess of Xiangcheng walked out of the crowd gently, stepped onto the main seat in front of the second pavilion with a smile. She showed her royal demeanor, and her noble look even compared the people below.
"Xiangcheng has gained a lot when we come here today! Since it was the Empress Shuxin of the Kingdom of Youth, Xiangcheng thanked you first and greeted the Second Highness and the Third Princess of Youth." As she said that, she glanced at the place where Sikongqing was unintentionally, and she looked beautiful and smiled: "I have always heard that the people of your country are outstanding, but today I am extraordinary when I see them. Xiangcheng did not rest in the pavilion before, but just wanted to see the charm of all the ladies, so she walked around casually. It turned out that this place was actually hidden, a talented man and a beautiful man, and a master." She hid her words, and her bright eyes turned, as if she was planning a good show.
As soon as these words were spoken, the room was filled with an uproar. Everyone wanted to show their talents and show their faces. Only Sikongqing and the women around him looked at each other, always thinking that Princess Xiangcheng had some advice. Could it be that she had heard their previous words?
"I have always felt that the women around me are too boring. They only know women's red, but do not understand poetry, songs, piano, songs, and dances. Since the beauty of your country is very talented, it is better to satisfy Xiangcheng's wishes. Please write a poem with the theme of spring scenery? It is also to add some fun to our garden. The third princess and I will participate. Everyone will do it as we like, and there is no need to be restrained." Except for the two places where Jin Xi and Ziyi are located, seats have been set up in other places. At this moment, the princess Xiangcheng ordered people to send the letters and ink one by one.
Sikongqing relaxed her eyebrows and wrote a poem. What's the difficulty!
Some young ladies with some talent were also ready to try, thinking about how to create awesome sentences. What's more, those who are quick-witted have already fallen into the pen and are afraid of falling behind others.
"Yuan'er, what should I do? I can't write it for a while..." Jin Xi's pretty face turned red at this time, probably because she was too eager to be outstanding. She fell into the pen several times but couldn't write it up. At this moment, she was obviously a little anxious.
Chen Yuan stood up thoughtfully, walked slowly for a few steps, and smiled and said, "Sister, don't panic, let me think about it..."
Soon, someone wrote it one by one and passed it on. Xiangcheng looked at it one by one, and there was still a bright smile on his lips. Others saw it and thought she was smiling warmly. In fact, she was just mocking her in her heart, especially when she saw Sikongqing and the others.
"This Sikong Hostel wrote very well. I'm sorry to read it so that everyone can enjoy it."
Princess Xiangcheng picked up the tea and took a sip, listening quietly: "Thousands of red flowers are rising, a branch is proud of the cold snow; the prosperity turns, and the snow clears up the garden and spring is filled with spring."
"It's really appropriate. Early spring has just arrived, and the flowers are in bud, but the red plums have not yet fallen. As the youth passes, spring comes quietly. It's well written. I wonder what the Second Prince thinks?" Princess Xiangcheng asked knowingly. In fact, she just saw the signature Sikongqing and asked someone to read it on purpose. Can such ordinary poems be praised? Such a woman is worthy of being talented? It's really a joke. When Sikongqing and others were quite favored by Wei Ziyi, Princess Xiangcheng smiled and asked him to comment.
Without saying anything, the woman beside her excitedly pulled her sleeve and looked at Ziyi, so that she could kill those mean people's aura.
"This poem...if you think a little bit, it might be better." The man in the curtain responded faintly.
This sentence undoubtedly made other beauties relieved. They were secretly happy and hurriedly sent their poems to the stage. Only Sikongqing's face turned red and white, and she bit her lips and refused to speak.
Compared with the noise outside, Chen Yuan seems much more comfortable here.
"Okay!" Chen Yuan handed the written poem to Jin Xi and asked her to copy it. Then Chen Yuan gently lifted the curtain and handed it over to the person outside.
"Yuan'er, you wrote so well. If I had half of your talent, I would have no regrets in this life!" Jin Xi's eyes were burning and she sighed from the bottom of her heart. After speaking, she lowered her eyes and waited for the movement outside nervously. At that moment, Jin Xi's expression was a little complicated. I wonder if she felt that it was a bit inappropriate for her to commit favoritism and fraud like this.
"Oh? The third princess has also written it. Come and see it for me!" Xiangcheng ignored Sikongqing anymore, but just happily took the half-scented letter:
The golden carp melts the ice and pulls the clear ripples, the mud swallows play by the willows; the silhouette walks by the three-inch pond, sleeps for a while and dreams of the beams.
The cold and proud snow looked up, and the eyebrows were wearing new clothes under the seat; the hairpin of the skirt was covered with beautiful fragrance, and the sun was suddenly warm and the spring time.
Signature: Wei Jinxi——Huachun
Everyone looked at Princess Xiangcheng so stunned that they couldn't help but start whispering.
"Is the third princess not writing well? Why didn't she make a sound?" A young man shook his fan and stretched his head forward with his head restrainedly, as if he wanted to see the expression of Princess Xiangcheng.
"Hey, I have never heard of the third princess who can recite poems and write them correctly. It's not that she's not good at writing, it's going to make others laugh!" Another person continued.
In the pavilion, Jin Xi saw that Princess Xiangcheng was not moving, and she was a little hesitant for a moment. Chen Yuan's poem about painting spring included all the things she saw in the garden today.
"It's so wonderful!" Princess Xiangcheng chewed it several times, then clapped her hands, with a bright smile in her eyes, and looked at Jin Xi and said, "The third princess is so talented, it's really a pity that Xiangcheng has met too late!" Then she read the poem and finally caressed the letter very much, "'The skirt and hairpin are smearing the fragrance of the sun, it's just the warmth of the spring time, it's both a metaphor for flowers and a metaphor for people, which is great!"
Ziyi frowned slightly, and then quietly stretched out. Ying Zhen beside him also listened with interest, and seemed a little satisfied. But Ziyi looked at the person in front of him and suddenly became a little worried. He was afraid that the quiet Ying Zhen would see something. Fortunately, he was still drinking tea quietly without saying a word.
"The third princess really gave us the woman in Xihua. Listen to the poem, it is quiet and moving, bright in color, and it is both far and near. It really makes me happy and I don't know how to describe it."
"Yes, the princess's observation is so meticulous. Even someone sleeping behind the rockery has been written in, which is completely warm in spring!" The atmosphere began to become lively.
Listening to the praise of the woman beside her, Sikongqing looked angry. Wei Jinxi could not observe anything. It must be the little girl who told her! She sighed secretly, blaming herself for not expecting such a detailed picture. Sikongqing couldn't help but feel a little depressed. The second princess must laugh at her. The princess Xiangcheng didn't know if she was deliberately against her, but even told her name, "Sikong Host". Who else in the court had a surname except her father? Her face looked ugly, and the people next to her dared not say anything rashly when they saw this, for fear of touching her reverse scale.
After savoring the poem has already ignited everyone's excitement, Xiangcheng also invited the beauties to play the piano with the head of the Yujing pearl porcelain. It is reported that Yujing's pearl porcelain is the best in the world. After the porcelain is fired, the porcelain officer will first pick ten out of a hundred and then present it to the emperor. The emperor will choose one out of ten, and leave the rest, and the rest will be broken or discarded, whether good or bad. Therefore, this pearl porcelain is extremely precious. Because it is selected one out of a hundred and is personally selected by the emperor, it is also called "Emperor's Porcelain". If it were not for the royal family of Yujing, ordinary nobles would not be able to bear such porcelain objects. It can be seen how decent the head of the Xiangcheng gave.
As a result, everyone couldn't help but show their unique skills more enthusiastically, and the sounds on the field were frequently rising, which was very lively.
Chen Yuan and Jin Xi were in the pavilion, and suddenly heard the noise outside gradually dissipated. A light and sensual sound of the piano slowly flowed into their ears, as if they could soothe the soul and cleanse the dust in their chest. I don’t know who it was.

Xi Yue said weakly: I made up the above poems by myself, just watch them for fun, don't think carefully~
