Chapter 497 Surprise
After that, Nianyun came out and read out all the procedures of the competition.
There are three rounds in total.
In the first round, all the ladies will write poems or paintings after enjoying the flowers and gardens. The primary judges will select ten winners, the intermediate judges will be the Queen Mother, who will select two winners, and the final judges will have three winners.
It is the emperor, the concubine and the prince. The one with the most votes wins.
When Qin Zhao heard that the first round was about poetry and painting, his heart skipped a beat.
She is not good at poetry, let alone painting. There is only one way out now, and that is to be surprised. Maybe she still has a chance to win.
And she won't be ashamed if she loses. She just wants the world to know that these two talented women Qin Shuang and Wu Xirou are not much different from this idiot like her.
Thinking of this, her mind was made up. She was here to disrupt the situation anyway, so how could she be afraid of losing?
After receiving the order, the noble ladies walked away one after another, meditating hard while enjoying the flowers in the garden.
Qin Zhao whispered to Xiao Ce, but Xiao Ce looked helpless and said, "It's up to you."
As long as she is happy.
Qin Zhao smiled and whispered: "His Royal Highness treats me the best."
Anyway, with Xiao Ce, the big boss, she could use many backdoors and win at the starting line.
"Glib tone." Xiao Ce disagreed, feeling that Qin Zhao was not telling the truth.
Qin Zhao smiled and was in a great mood: "Every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart."
Because each noble lady only had two quarters of an hour, everyone came back soon, and they were all writing poems about the scene they saw, or making impromptu paintings.
Qin Shuang and Wu Xirou chose to paint at the same time, Anya wrote a poem, and Jiang Yan also wrote a poem. The scene was very lively for a while.
After the preliminary screening, these four people were all shortlisted into the top ten.
After that, the Queen Mother will decide the top two seats.
The Queen Mother felt that Qin Shuang's and Wu Xirou's paintings were slightly overlapping, and Qin Shuang was slightly inferior to Wu Xirou, so she eliminated Qin Shuang. On the other hand, Anya's poems were very suitable for the occasion, so the Queen Mother selected her to be among the top two finalists.
When Anya, Wu Xiroujing and other three big figures picked the best player in the first round, Xiao Ce suddenly said: "Why don't we let Qin Liangdi also come to help with the fun."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Zhao, who responded: "Since Your Highness has spoken, I will be embarrassed. If I accidentally win over the two noble ladies, won't it be bad?"
Xiao Ce secretly thought that it would be good if she didn't make a fool of herself. Based on his understanding of her, she didn't know much about poetry, nor did she know how to draw.
Not only Xiao Ce thought this way, but other people present also felt that Qin Zhao was doing this to embarrass himself, and Concubine Shu was even more happy to see Qin Zhao's jokes.
"Let's talk about it after you win." Concubine Shu lifted her lips indifferently.
"If I win, what reward will I get?" Qin Zhao asked again.
"You can have whatever reward you want!" Concubine Shu never looked at Qin Zhao and said impatiently: "Time is running out, let's get started."
Someone who overestimates his own abilities actually dares to embarrass himself at the garden party. She will help Qin Zhao today!
Not only did Concubine Shu want to see Qin Zhao's jokes, Wu Xirou was also surprised that Qin Zhao would make a fool of himself at such a juncture. According to her understanding of Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao was not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
Even though Qin Zhao's appearance is completely different from before, it is impossible to master painting in a short time.
But Qin Zhao suddenly came out at this time, which was unusual.
Qin Zhao got Concubine Shu's approval and immediately went out. She looked at Baozhu, who understood and took out the drawing paper prepared early in the morning.
Because it was a sand painting, she had already prepared what should be prepared. The fine sand was also dyed and packed separately for later use.
Qin Zhao had also prepared the equipment needed for sand painting. Since there was no self-adhesive glue, she had to settle for the next best thing and prepare thick rice paste instead.
She came prepared this time and already had some calculations in her mind, so she started making sand paintings in full view of everyone.
She has only done it once, but because of her super memory, she remembers all the processes and steps clearly.
Moreover, she is very handy and can't draw with a pen, but she can paint with sand easily.
The onlookers saw Qin Zhao's slender hands flying as if she were playing the piano in the air. She was naturally beautiful, and her focused look at this moment made it impossible to take away her eyes.
When Qin Zhao first showed up, the ladies felt that Qin Liangdi was too beautiful to be real. But now that they saw Qin Liangdi concentrating on painting, the ladies felt that the Qin Liangdi in front of them was so beautiful that they couldn't take their eyes away.
.
Wu Xirou was a little confused at first, but soon she realized that Qin Zhao actually used sand to paint. How is this possible?
Xiao Ce also became curious, got up and went to Qin Zhao's side to see what was going on.
It must be said that Qin Zhao's painting won over all the ladies present just because of its novelty.
This girl didn't come out to show off her humiliation, but came prepared.
Except for Qin Zhao's movements being a little awkward at the beginning, the rest went smoothly. Because she had already thought about the overall layout, and sand painting also tests her imagination, and what she lacks most is imagination, so she did it with ease.
.
Then pay attention to the matching of adjacent colors to create a three-dimensional effect, and this sand painting is roughly completed.
After that, she polished it a little more and wrote down the name of the sand painting, then took two steps back and said with a smile: "That's it."
At this time, even the emperor became curious and came to watch, "Thriving?"
"Exactly, today's theme is flowers and plants. I saw the spring in the imperial garden and the flowers and plants were growing happily, so I made this sand painting. I thought that Daqi was like flowers and plants in spring, and it was the time when the branches and leaves were luxuriant and prosperous.
, meaning that the country is peaceful and the people are safe and prosperous, all of which depend on the emperor's ability to govern the country!" Qin Zhao took advantage of the situation and flattered the emperor.
The emperor originally thought this sofa was very interesting, but after hearing Qin Zhao's words, he felt that Qin Zhao's vision had broadened.
All the poems and paintings written by the noble ladies present were limited to the spring scenery and flowers and plants in front of them. Only the sand paintings painted by Qin Zhao had profound meanings. The other noble ladies could not compare with their magnanimity and magnanimity.
"Not bad!" The emperor gave a rare approval.
As soon as he said this, Wu Xirou's heart sank.
As early as when Qin Zhao's sand painting came out, she knew that she had lost the first game. Originally, she thought that her opponents were just all the noble ladies present, but Qin Zhao suddenly got involved. The emperor obviously liked Qin Zhao's painting more.
She quietly looked at Concubine Shu and saw that Concubine Shu had no expression on her face. From the beginning, she knew that Concubine Shu didn't like Qin Zhao, so she could get the vote for Concubine Shu. The next step would depend on the wishes of His Highness the Crown Prince.
When she looked at Xiao Ce, she found that Xiao Ce was looking intently at the sand paintings made by Qin Zhao. Her heart dropped, knowing that she was going to lose this battle.
The next voting time will be interesting. In the end, Qin Zhao received two votes from the emperor and Xiao Ce respectively, Anya received zero votes, and Concubine Shu voted for Wu Xirou.
