These days Xiyan always stays alone in the house, feeling depressed. She often stares out the window in a daze, sitting there all morning. She thinks about it for a long time, and she keeps thinking about the time Bei Mingchen had with her.
the words said.
Maybe Bei Mingchen was right, and he was indeed the best candidate for that matter.
Xi Yan could tell that Shuo Jin was not wary of her at all. She had already put the long sword on his neck, but even though he was shocked, he had no intention of dodging.
Shuojin's behavior even made her feel that he would come to face the sword blade in the next second.
Xiyan didn't know what was wrong with her. Every time she saw him, she just wanted to soften her heart. She once thought that maybe as long as the two of them stopped interacting or seeing each other in the future, or Shuojin directly showed his affection for her.
Disgusted, this thing will become much easier.
However, Xiyan now feels that even if she wants to break up with him and never see him again, it is so difficult. She never thought that this matter would make her so uncomfortable.
Looking at the hairpin in her hand that was broken into several sections, in addition to being sad, Xiyan also felt very regretful at this moment. She felt very regretful. Why did she destroy such a delicate thing so impulsively?
Where is it?
Was her behavior a little too much? Was what she said a little cruel? Xiyan asked herself over and over in her mind.
That's enough! Xiyan shook her head violently several times. This matter was already regrettable enough. She didn't want to leave any more regrets. Maybe Shuojin was right, and she really should go to the Hairpin Conference.
She silently thought about what he said in her heart. The more she thought about it, the firmer her attitude became. She wanted to go, not only for herself, but also for him. She should treat it as silently giving him some encouragement.
However, Xiyan is still considered a member of Prince Xiao's palace, so if she wants to participate in the Hairpin Conference, she still needs the prince's permission.
Recently, Bei Mingchen seemed to be very busy every day. He spent most of his time away from Prince Xiao's mansion. Finally, he spent one day quietly in the study.
Xiyan mustered up her courage and walked towards Bei Mingchen's study with heavy steps. She had said those words in her heart a thousand times, so that when she said them in front of Bei Mingchen, she would not
Too panicked.
Soon Xiyan arrived at Bei Mingchen's study and gently knocked on the door twice.
"who?"
"Your Majesty, it's me." Xi Yan said softly.
"Girl, please come in."
Bei Mingchen said calmly, he hurriedly sorted out the documents on the table.
"Girl, I came here today, but what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I, I, also want to attend the Hairpin Conference."
Xiyan mustered up the courage to speak. Although she had said these words silently in her heart many, many times, when she looked at Bei Mingchen's face and said it again, she could not help but feel very nervous.
He also stuttered when he spoke.
As soon as she said such words, she regretted it again. She always felt that she had humiliated herself a little. She lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to look at him again.
Seeing this, Bei Mingchen stood up slowly, walked to Xiyan, patted her shoulder gently, and spoke to her in a very gentle tone.
"Okay, girl, you can go if you want." After hearing this, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes met Bei Mingchen's gentle gaze. His gaze was so firm, so gentle, and full of love for herself.
encourage.
Xiyan never thought that he would agree to her request without hesitation. She originally thought that Bei Mingchen would ridicule her there, or say that she was overestimating her abilities, or scratch herself in every possible way.
"Is it really possible?"
She was a little unsure, as if it was all her own hallucination. She asked again.
"Of course, when the time comes, the girl must make a shining debut." Bei Mingchen smiled faintly at her and said words of encouragement.
One month is neither short nor long, and it will soon be time for the Hairpin Conference.
This hairpin competition can be regarded as the biggest competition in the capital in recent months. The door of the venue has not been opened early in the morning, and the outside is crowded with bustling crowds. In addition to the famous ladies who came to participate in the competition,
, and there are many people from all over the country, who even travel thousands of miles to the capital to visit this hairpin conference. Some young people who cannot afford tickets can't help but poke their heads in and take a look.
.
The small shops on the street also seized this opportunity and launched a variety of new gadgets. They kept selling them. There were many novel accessories, gifts, souvenirs, etc., and everything looked so exquisite, so
of lovable.
In a restaurant not far from the palace, a ring has been set up early, waiting for the girls to show off their unparalleled elegance.
Everything in this game was organized by the royal family, and the emperor and queen of Hualing Kingdom became the final witnesses of this game.
The ladies from famous families who came to compete had arrived here early and were making final preparations. After the emperor and empress arrived, the competition officially began.
First, a eunuch from the imperial court read out the rules of the competition on the high platform.
This hairpin competition is divided into three rounds. In the first round, poems and poems are compared, mainly looking at the girls’ literary ability.
The main competition in the second round is talent. Of course, these talents also refer to many aspects, not limited to music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, etc.
The third round is all about Qi. If the girls have any novel talents, they can show them off. As long as they are skills that can make people shine, they can show them off.
The real purpose of this competition is to select the most popular girl in the capital, so everyone present has the opportunity to vote.
After each round of competition, everyone present will vote. After the three rounds of written tests, the girl with the highest number of votes will be the final winner of the hairpin competition.
If you can win the first place in this hairpin competition, it will be so beautiful. I don’t know how many talented people will fall in love with it, and I don’t know how many famous families will come to propose marriage. So the girls attach great importance to this.
In most games, preparations are made early.
After everything was ready, the Hairpin Conference officially began.
The people in the stands gently beat the gongs and drums, and the first round of competition officially began. The girls need to compose a poem within the specified time. This competition is not so restrictive, and there are not so many requirements for the girls.
As for the subject matter, girls can use it as they wish, as long as they complete it within the specified time.
Soon, half an hour was up. The judges walked up to the girls and put away their works one by one.
Many girls laughed confidently. There is no shortage of ladies in the capital. Their family tradition is open-minded and supports women to go to school together with men. So they are still very confident about this literary test.
After collecting all the girls' works, the judge read out the girls' works one by one to everyone in the stands.
This time, Song Jinse and Miss Xiyan both came to participate in the hairpin competition. Both of them are extraordinary. In this first round of competition alone, they were very outstanding, and their works were also very brilliant.
It quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Yes, yes, this girl Jinse's literary talent is indeed very outstanding. I didn't expect that the girl can express the love between children and children so vividly with just a few simple poems."
"As expected of the daughter of the Song dynasty, this poem really amazed everyone."
The people below the stands could not help praising Song Jinse. At this moment, she was standing there confidently, accepting compliments from everyone. She was very good at these things.
Song Jinse enjoyed the feeling of being admired. She saw the girls around her casting envious glances at her, and the onlookers below casting admiring glances at her. She felt very happy.
There he laughed triumphantly.
Although soon the judge continued to read other girls' poems and songs, Song Jinse's light was still so dazzling that no one could cover it.
She is still the focus of everyone's attention.
The next few poems are far less outstanding than Song Jinse's poem. Perhaps the literary talents of those girls are also very good, but compared with Song Jinse's, they seem to be overshadowed.
Just when those people below the stands were feeling a little tired, another poem caught their attention and made them feel bright.
After listening to the poem read by the judge, the eyes of the people below instantly brightened, and even some of the men in the stands became excited. Some of the young men outside the venue jumped up when they heard the poem.
"Which girl wrote this?"
One person couldn't help but sigh below. Immediately afterwards, the people below started talking, and everyone praised the woman's amazing talent.
Rivers and lakes, mountains and rivers, wanton happiness.
Desert, hot blood, crushed by horse hooves.
"I never expected that such a heroic poem could be written by a girl."
"Oh, I really didn't expect that the girl would have such feelings."
"I really didn't expect that a girl like this would be so broad-minded!"
"Yes. A few simple sentences can actually describe the bravery and bravery in the world, and the feeling of pleasure in the world."
Hearing that everyone recognized her, Xiyan was very happy and smiled shyly. Her cute appearance made it hard to imagine that she had such a big heart.
