Receiving everyone's gaze, Li Wen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What's wrong?"
When everyone came back to their senses, one of the young masters asked: "Your Majesty, do you like the word Miss Wei Si?"
Li Wen nodded: "It's very well written, and it's also a prayer for my father. I have to thank her for her kindness."
He acted so calmly that no one could tell whether he was appreciating Miss Wei Si or simply out of gratitude.
But each person has three flowers, so it doesn’t matter if he gives out one, right?
When the maid came back with the pot, the news spread quickly. These days, many people thought that Miss Xu was destined to be the crown prince, and they ridiculed Miss Wei a lot. For example, they got together to joke at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet last time.
The young ladies. When they heard the news, their hearts trembled and they felt a bit frightened.
No? Is it possible that Wei Si still has a chance? Otherwise, why would the prince just give her the flowers?
Soon, someone made up for it and praised with a smile: "Sister Wei Si's calligraphy has always been top-notch. There are so many of us, but none of us can match it. This is called skillful and clumsy. People with strength don't need many tricks."
Show yourself."
Others agreed one after another, and for a moment, Miss Wei Si seemed to have returned to the time when all the stars were holding the moon.
On the other hand, Miss Tong Er, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly smiled mockingly, stood up and said: "Princess, I want to show you next, please allow me."
Princess Dongjiang was surprised: "Are you so proactive today? It's really rare, so please go ahead."
Miss Tong Er saluted and walked into the pavilion.
She also ordered her maid to spread paper, grind ink, and start writing. Of course, she was different from Miss Wei Si. She wrote in small characters, and she could write a short article of several hundred words in one go, quickly and steadily.
After a while, she put down her pen and held up the stack of paper and presented it: "This is the Heart Sutra that my daughter copied for the prince. It's not well written. I just want to express my feelings."
The Tong family has generations of great scholars, and Miss Tong's second daughter has been influenced by her. How could her handwriting be bad? But this matter does not depend on whether her handwriting is good or not.
Miss Wei Si had just prayed for King Dongjiang and received the crown prince's silk flower, and Miss Tong followed suit, clearly aiming for him.
What's going on? Wasn't this Second Miss Tong very low-key in the past and never fighting for it? Why did she suddenly confront Miss Wei Fourth? Could it be that she was still thinking about the Crown Prince and felt that this was the last chance, so she finally gave up.
Are you pretending not to care anymore?
Everyone's eyes became strange, watching the drama between the two women fighting for their husbands.
Xu Yin was surprised at first, then understood something, leaned over and whispered: "Sister, they seem to be having a festival!"
Xu Si nodded. Before the banquet, Xu Yin mocked Miss Wei Si for having a big pie face, and it was Miss Tong who pointed it out. Now she comes out to cause trouble when Wei Si gets the silk flower through scheming. It's not because she has a grudge.
What?
As for competing for husbands, they don't take it seriously. If Miss Tong Er really wants to be the concubine, why not go to them instead of going to Wei Si? Li Wen's recent performance clearly favors Xu Si.
Thinking of this, Xu Si suddenly smiled, and without waiting for the princess to speak, he stood up and said: "Princess, my daughter happens to have a heart to dedicate to the prince. Why not take advantage of Miss Tong Er's convenience and write it together and send it over, so as to save the servant girl from running around too much.
A trip, what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped and their eyes were filled with shock.
Even Miss Xu can't sit still? The fight between two girls has turned into the fight between three girls. Isn't this too straightforward?
Princess Dongjiang smiled instead.
She knew that her son had taken a fancy to Miss Xu, and when she saw Miss Wei Si and Miss Tong Er confronting each other, it would be too cold for her to stand on the sidelines. Now that she stood up, although she was not being reserved, she also expressed her feelings for Li Wen.
.
As a mother, of course she wants her son to be loved and not be burdened with having to shave his head.
"Okay, let's get together."
Xu Si saluted and followed into the pavilion.
She did not write, but took the paintbrush.
Thick ink dripped on the drawing paper, and the tip of the pen quickly sketched and smeared, and soon a statue of Guanyin appeared.
The more everyone looked at it, the more surprised they were. Everyone present could write, although they may not be able to take out their hands, but painting takes time - most of the other ladies who chose to paint had already asked for a paintbrush and started. When they entered the pavilion, they asked
If you draw it in front of everyone, you can't let everyone wait for half an hour and an hour, right? Then can others compare?
But Xu Si painted very quickly. There was no paint, only ink and white. It looked like ink painting, but the lines were clear, and it had the meticulousness and lifelikeness of gongbi painting. The most important thing was speed. From the time the ink was dropped to the time it was finished, it only took a quarter of an hour.
A statue of Guanyin has appeared on the paper.
Xu Si put down his pen, waited for the ink to dry a little, then presented it to him and said: "Miss Tong Er wrote the Heart Sutra, and I thought it would be better if there was Guanyin to match it, so I made my own decision. I hope the princess will not take offense."
The princess took the drawing paper with surprise in her eyes. She had no hope for Xu Si's talent. The reason why she chose her was because of Nanyuan's power. Unexpectedly, Miss Xu was much stronger than she imagined.
In terms of this painting skill alone, no one among the noble ladies of Dongjiang can match her.
She breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the daughter-in-law she chose was not a beauty.
Princess Dongjiang nodded with a smile and said, "My prince and I will keep your thoughts in mind."
With that said, he asked someone to send him to the other side of the lake.
Not long after, the maids holding the pots came back, and as expected, each of them received a silk flower from the Crown Prince - and because their calligraphy and paintings matched each other very well, and their skills were superb, almost everyone sent flowers. After counting, more than Wei Wei
There are slightly more fourth ladies.
When this result came out, everyone looked at Miss Wei Fourth with cold eyes.
So, the prince gave the flowers for the sake of the prince, right? Yes, they all said they were praying for the prince, how could the prince not give him face?
The male guest will definitely try to figure out the prince's feelings. If the prince really likes Wei Si, Miss Tong Er and Miss Xu will not be more attractive to her.
The Fourth Miss Wei is indeed very thoughtful. If Miss Tong Er and Miss Xu hadn't come out, they still wouldn't have understood the key. They really thought that the prince was attracted to her.
Although this change in attitude was not visible, how could Miss Wei not feel it? She held her fan tightly, managed to steady her smile, and looked at the other two people.
This time she was considered defeated, so the two winners should fight each other, right? Although it would be useless if they won, it would be nice to watch a lively scene.
It was a pity that she was disappointed. Xu Si nodded and smiled at Miss Tong Er. Although Miss Tong Er was cold, she still nodded politely.
——Miss Wei Si was so breathless that she almost didn't come up. Did these two people join forces to deal with her?
