Yuan Zhisheng and Su Yujin exchanged a look that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
Wang Qizhi, the minister of Honglu Temple, walked back and forth to observe the progress of the more than 20 finalists. The predetermined time was half an hour, and everyone had to complete the painting within the specified time. Hu Xiaotian was very good at it, and he was the first to paint.
After finishing, Wang Qizhi picked up the portrait he had drawn and handed it to the two examiners.
Yuan Zhisheng and Su Yujin looked up, only to see a portrait of a young girl with high spirits on the white paper. It was Princess Yingyue, and the character appeared lifelike on the paper. Yuan Zhisheng was a famous calligrapher and painter of Tianxiang Kingdom, and he had never seen it before.
After seeing such a painting that was both physical and spiritual, his expression was obviously a little excited, and he stroked his beard and praised: "Good! Good!"
The examiner openly cheered, and the other shortlisted candidates naturally felt frustrated. Not everyone had the ability to draw, and three of them didn't even move a pen.
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, he didn’t expect it to be so easy to win today. After all, it was Xiyue who was considerate and loved me so much. How could I, Hu Xiaotian, be so virtuous and able to make a beauty look so sympathetic to me? I came up with a way to eliminate others with charcoal sketches. Xiyue
Yue also has good intentions.
Half an hour passed quickly and everyone turned in their papers. Yuan Zhisheng selected ten decent ones and asked the palace maid to send them to Princess Yingyue for her to decide. The rest who were not selected naturally became the first batch of eliminations.
.
The results came back quickly, and five more paintings were eliminated out of the ten paintings. Now there are only five people left. Of course, Hu Xiaotian was selected, but Xue Daoming was not eliminated this round.
Yuan Zhisheng announced the five paintings that were finally selected on the spot. Hu Xiaotian actually took advantage of his familiarity with painting techniques. In terms of painting skills, no one of the five finalists was inferior to him. But in terms of who painted the most like him, of course it was not Hu Xiaotian.
It was none other than him. He was the only one among the five who had seen the real person. The others had only seen embroidered portraits, and they were all using charcoal for the first time, so Hu Xiaotian took advantage of them.
Hu Xiaotian paid special attention to Xue Daoming's painting. Xue Daoming's painting was not Long Xiyue at all. It was obviously Zicuckoo, but Zicuckoo's eyebrows were still very similar to Long Xiyue. It seemed that Xue Daoming had been hurt so badly by Xi Yan that he has not been able to do anything to this day.
The appearance of Zicuckoo is still in my mind. The emotion is really deep. To be fair, Xue Daoming is really good at painting. He can actually draw to this level with an unfamiliar brush, which shows the depth of his skills. If today is not a proposition competition
, allowing everyone to play freely. Hu Xiaotian cannot guarantee that he will win.
However, the final winner was not selected after this round of drawing, but these five people entered the next round.
This round it was a pair. Yuan Zhisheng came up with the first couplet, and the five finalists rushed to answer. Yuan Zhisheng habitually touched his beard and said: "Masters, please listen carefully, my first couplet is the full moon in the sky."
, the moon is half full in the world, the moon is full and the moon is half full.”
Hu Xiaotian's heart was agitated. This was when he and Long Xiyue stumbled and fell into the hollow valley together. Long Xiyue was testing the first question of his couplet. He was about to speak out, but someone on the side had already spoken: "Tonight
The end of the year will lead to the beginning of the year tomorrow, and the end of each year will lead to the beginning of the year!”
Hu Xiaotian looked at that man fiercely, "Damn it! You actually stole my prize."
Yuan Zhisheng smiled and said: "Wonderful! Good! Good!"
The man was so proud that he had the upper hand, which meant he had a better chance than others. Everyone has a competitive spirit. Even if he knew the outcome, he still wanted to defeat Hu Xiaotian.
Yuan Zhisheng said again: "Fifth watch in one night, half of five watch in the middle of the night!"
This time it was Xue Daoming who was the first to say: "Three Autumn Festival is in August. Mid-Autumn Festival is in August!"
Hu Xiaotian found that there were quite a few masters in couplets, and these guys were the fastest. Although he opened his mouth, he was still a step slower than Xue Daoming. Outsiders didn't know the mystery. Only Hu Xiaotian knew Long Xiyue's intention.
This gentle and lovely princess was flirting with herself. It was really unforgettable to think of the night when they were trapped in the hollow.
Hu Xiaotian searched his guts and remembered that the next couplet should be that the sun is in the east, the moon is in the west, and the sky has clear characters. The son is on the right and the woman is on the left. A good person is destined to be in this world! Grandma, this time I will let you know what is the answer! Hu Xiaotian continued
Neither of them got it, so I was naturally full of energy. I had to answer successfully this time no matter what.
Yuan Zhisheng said: "The couplet is just to let everyone relax. The next question is the key. This question is complicated or not, but it is simple or not. Whoever can answer this question correctly will basically win."
Hu Xiaotian said in astonishment: "The couplets are no longer comparable?"
Yuan Zhisheng said: "There are a total of two couplet questions, and I have finished answering them!"
Hu Xiaotian is so depressed. If he dares to ask just two questions, shouldn't he be eliminated directly? He is careless. He is really too careless.
Fortunately, there was no elimination in this round. Yuan Zhisheng smiled and said: "If you want to marry a princess, you must understand our princess's heart. Do you know what kind of life the princess's greatest wish is to live?"
The boy who was the first to answer just now said: "If I marry a princess, I will take care of her, give her the most beautiful clothes, the most luxurious house, the most luxurious carriages and horses, and let her become the most beautiful princess in the world."
The happiest woman."
Hu Xiaotian was not anxious when he heard this question.
Yuan Zhisheng turned his attention to Xue Daoming again.
Xue Daoming said: "If I marry a princess, she will be Princess Yong, and the power, status, glory and glory I have will be shared with her."
Hu Xiaotian sneered. Xue Daoming has lost his former glory in Dayong. The throne was inherited by his elder brother Xue Daohong.
Be the right person.
Yuan Zhisheng was the last one to ask Hu Xiaotian: "Mr. Hu, what do you think the princess's greatest wish is?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly, and his answer shocked the whole room: "She wants to be a monkey!"
After silence, the whole hall burst into laughter. Xue Daoming couldn't help but laugh. He secretly scorned him. Could this guy be too excited? How could any woman want to be a monkey? If Princess Yingyue heard such words, it would be strange that she would choose him.
Su Yujin took out an envelope, opened it and read the contents, then handed it to Yuan Zhisheng.
A knowing smile appeared on Yuan Zhisheng's lips. He nodded to everyone and said, "Except Mr. Hu, please come back. The princess already has the answer."
This answer is not new, nor is it the monkey Hu Xiaotian said, because there are only three words in the letter Hu Xiaotian.
Long Xiyue will not choose anyone else except Hu Xiaotian. For her, there are two consequences, one is to choose Hu Xiaotian, the other is to choose death.
Everyone was not surprised when they heard this result, but they were a little unwilling. They went all the way and still didn't see Princess Yingyue. The election was unexpectedly defeated. Princess Yingyue was not a good princess, but she wanted to be a little girl.
Monkey, it's really confusing. But now that the answer is revealed, there is no need for others to stay.
Xue Daoming was still a little unwilling. He asked Yuan Zhisheng: "What does Princess Yingyue look like?"
Yuan Zhisheng pointed to the portrait painted by Hu Xiaotian and said: "Almost exactly the same."
Su Yujin waved to Hu Xiaotian and led him to the back garden, leaving the flower hall and walking into the quiet corridor. Although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the garden of Green Shadow Pavilion was still full of flowers, full of fragrance and colorful.
, the leaves are also colorful, and the whole garden is beautiful. Walking in the corridor and smelling the fragrance of flowers, his eyes are filled with colorful colors. Thinking of Long Xiyue who is about to see him, Hu Xiaotian feels as if he has walked into a dream.
Su Yujin said: "The Queen Mother asked me to tell you that you must treat Princess Yingyue kindly."
Hu Xiaotian nodded repeatedly, and even felt that Su Yujin had become much cuter.
Su Yujin said: "Although you refuse to admit it, I know that you were the one who sneaked into Qingxuan Temple that day!"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "Master Su Tian seems to be very prejudiced against me."
Su Yujin said: "If people don't know what to do except for themselves, don't think that just because you saved the Queen Mother and the King, you can suddenly become a saint."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I become the consort of Tianxiang Kingdom, Master Su Tianshi should be more polite to me. I don't know anything about what you said. If there is evidence, just show it and make me confess. If there is no evidence, just make excuses.
It's better not to mention the matter, I have a bad temper."
Su Yujin sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
At this time, the two of them had reached the end of the corridor, and saw a palace maid in a green dress standing there. She smiled and wished Hu Xiaotian a blessing, and said softly: "Master Hu, my princess is waiting for you inside.
Woolen cloth."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded. Su Yujin stopped moving forward, with a stern expression on her face. Hu Xiaotian was right in what he said. Although she suspected it, there was no conclusive evidence. Now Hu Xiaotian was kind to Tianxiang Kingdom and became Tianxiang Kingdom's consort.
It is obviously impossible to use force against him, and another solution needs to be found for this matter.
Hu Xiaotian followed the palace maid into the palace and saw a figure behind the bead curtain. Hu Xiaotian couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. The palace maid smiled slightly and turned around to leave. Hu Xiaotian took a deep breath and calmed down his inner emotions before saying
:"is it you?"
Long Xiyue's familiar voice came from behind the screen, and she hummed.
"Xiyue!" Hu Xiaotian was about to lift the bead curtain and walk in.
But I heard Long Xiyue say: "You are not allowed to come over!"
Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to stop and said softly: "Are you angry with me? Do you blame me for not coming to you for so long?"
Long Xiyue responded in silence behind the bead curtain.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and blamed himself: "I know you must be unhappy, and I would be angry too. At the beginning, I was deceived by Zhou Mo, and even doubted you. You are so good to me, and you don't hesitate to do so."
Abandoning your status and status, even your glory and wealth, and being willing to have a simple life, a common man and a hairpin to accompany me and become a monkey running all over the mountains, how can I have the slightest doubt about you."
The third update is here. I went out for fun and just checked into the hotel. I will soon send the chapters coded on the high-speed rail. During the Spring Festival, the updates will continue and the coding will continue. I will repay the support of my brothers and sisters with my continuous efforts. I wish you all the best again.
Happy New Year and all the best! (To be continued.)
