Quick Travel: The Story of Your Highness's Pampering of Her Husband

Xuanyuan Xi didn't have much interest in the poetry competition. After some evaluation, the final leader was a thin woman wearing sapphire blue satin. She was now sitting at the bottom of the judges' seat, waiting quietly.

The second competition was seamlessly connected. When Lin Ziran clenched his fists and stood up, Xu Ye opened his mouth and spat out a dozen words of blessing. Xuanyuan Xi also followed up and said, "I wish Miss Lin that all her wishes will come true. Toad Palace won the title."

Although Lin Ziran was a little nervous, after all, she was the eldest daughter of the Shang Shu family, and it was not that she had never seen the bigger world. It was just that today she really wanted to accept Mr. Bai as her teacher, so she felt a little uneasy.

After hearing the encouragement from her cousin and Miss Xiao, she turned to smile back at them, straightened her robe, and walked towards the center of the field with steady steps.

Xuanyuan Xi watched with cold eyes. Compared with the first one, the number of people in this second strategy competition was more than half.

After all, writing poetry can only be regarded as a hobby. If you write well, you will only be known as a romantic and talented person. More scholars want to be named on the gold medal list and wear official robes.

Therefore, there were not only young students on the stage, but also older candidates who should have failed in this subject.They have been hovering in the capital for a long time just to participate in this competition. They do not seek apprenticeship, but only seek guidance from Mr. Bai himself. They will have a better chance of getting on the list next time they take part in the examination.

In addition, people who participated in the previous poetry competition also participated in the second competition.

In an instant, the venue, which was originally relatively loose, suddenly became compact.

Fortunately, the organizer of the event had also anticipated this. A group of servants filed in and added dozens more desks. The crowd of onlookers retreated again to make room.

Although it is a bit crowded, because there are so many people watching, every move you make is watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes. Not to mention plagiarizing others, even if you turn your eyes towards the person next to you, people will notice you. So no one really dares to cheat on this occasion.

The title of this policy discussion is "Appreciating Doubts and Following the Right."

"Always obey when there are doubts, so you are generous; follow when you punish those who have doubts, so you are cautious."

Mr. Bai used Xing Shou's theory of loyalty to select disciples who were consistent with his own three views.

Xuanyuan Xi couldn't help but become interested. She looked at Lin Ziran, who was sitting on his knees and writing quickly, with a flash of light in her eyes.

From the previous chat, she realized that this daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs was not only kind-hearted, but also had real qualities.

Sure enough, after the competition, when the top ten works were selected for singing and reading, Lin Ziran's works were also among them.

After some judging, Lin Ziran finally won the first place. Under the envious eyes of everyone, he calmly walked to the judges' table and sat next to the woman in royal blue clothes.

Xu Ye was young after all, so she stood up excitedly, jumped twice, and then subconsciously turned to the only person she knew, Xuanyuan Xi, and said excitedly: "Sister Xiao, Sister Xiao, cousin is the first, and cousin is the first. Name!"

"Ah ah ah, my cousin is so amazing, my cousin is the best!"

Seeing that the crowd was quiet again and preparing for the third competition, Xuanyuan Xi quickly suppressed the little girl who was jumping up and down and screaming, "Stop, don't disturb the next competition, otherwise you will embarrass your cousin." .”

Xu Ye's mouth was covered. After hearing Xuanyuan Xi's words, she came back from her joy. She nodded hurriedly to show that she understood, and Xu Ye let go.

Lin Ziran on the other side breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xuanyuan Xi a look of thanks.She was not afraid of being blamed, but her cousin was still young and might not be able to bear the grievance if she was severely criticized by others.

Xuanyuan Xi waved her hand to Lin Ziran, telling her not to worry.

Xu Ye also saw the interaction between the two, knowing that his cousin was worried about him, so he scratched his head shyly, and then unconsciously changed the subject.

She tilted her head and looked at Xuanyuan Xi, and asked doubtfully: "Sister Xiao, why don't you get off the field and compete?"

"This is your last chance. If you don't go, after passing this village, there won't be this shop again!"

Xu Ye quite likes this new eldest sister, and naturally doesn't want her to miss such a good opportunity.

Xuanyuan Xi thought about it. She had originally planned to blend in among the literati. Now it would be a good idea to open up the market, oh no, social circles based on "painting".

So, she folded the fan and said to Xu Ye with a smile: "That's the case, then Sister Xiao, I'll go out and give it a try."

Xu Ye originally wanted to applaud, but at the next moment he quickly changed his palms into fists, waved excitedly, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiao, I will cheer for you!"

After rubbing the top of the little girl's hair, Xuanyuan Xi stood up and walked to the center of the field.

After giving her name and walking to the corresponding position according to the number plate, Xuanyuan Xi sat down calmly.

Speaking of which, she had been wandering around for so many days, and no one in the capital recognized her as a concubine except after Zhuo Yaqing, the saboteur, recognized her identity and changed her appearance.

And all of this can be considered a gift from the Queen.

Except for state banquets, the original owner had never shown his face to outsiders.

But even after attending the wedding banquet, the original owner was sitting on a high seat, motionless as a decoration. It can be said that even the ministers and many people in the court had never seen what she looked like, let alone the children in the family. And the common people.

Xuanyuan Xi once again felt sad for the original owner.

However, the scene had quieted down, so she didn't think about it any more. When she heard that the title was still "Early Spring", Xuanyuan Xi smiled and began to polish her ink and formulate ideas.

The time limit was one hour, but within half an hour, Xuanyuan Xi had already completed his painting.

After waiting for a while, the examination time was over, and nearly a hundred paintings were presented in front of the judges. After about a quarter of an hour, the top ten were announced.

However, only nine paintings were displayed in front of everyone. After everyone had appreciated it, Mr. Bai took out the painting that he had specially reserved.

She asked a servant to go around the place with the painting, while she sat on a chair and commented loudly: "This little friend Xiao's early spring painting really amazes this old woman!"

"This picture depicts the scene of early spring after the cold winter in the mountains. The mountains are towering, wide open and closed, and the mountains are more rocky than soil. Obviously this is a mountain range in the north."

"A clear spring and waterfall in the mountains cascade down, raising wisps of mist. It's cold in the north, and all the water freezes in winter, and it doesn't melt until early spring. This is the word spring."

"The entire article is in black and white, with a single light green bud painted beside the pool, and the character "Chu" is named.

After listening to Bai Lao's comments, everyone who had seen the painting couldn't help but nod in praise. Xuanyuan Xi had been left in the middle of the field just now. At this moment, everyone's shining eyes were all on her.

Mr. Bai looked at Xuanyuan Xi and said with a smile: "The artistic conception alone is enough for the old woman to admire. What's even more rare is that my painting skills have reached their peak."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but gasp.

To reach the pinnacle, this evaluation is not something that can be used casually, let alone coming from the mouth of Bai Lao, who is an expert in poetry and painting!

Xuanyuan Xi once again accepted the baptism of everyone's attention. She quickly raised her hands and said humbly: "Old Bai is too praised."

She originally had good painting skills, and she has practiced Kung Fu for hundreds of years. In the eyes of ordinary people, she can indeed be regarded as "reaching the pinnacle".

As if he didn't see everyone's disbelieving reactions, Bai Lao said to himself: "My little friend writes calmly and unhurriedly, his heart follows the pen, his pen is full of strength, and he follows the trend. The whole painting is lively and graceful."

"Moreover, when outlining rocks, dead trees and waterfalls, the brushstrokes naturally switch between soft and hard. When rendering with roller pens and embellishments with thick ink, the skills are even more perfect."

Mr. Bai sighed deeply and said with emotion: "If the little friend hadn't made this painting in public, the old woman would never have believed that it was the work of a young man of about 20 years old."

"Oh, what a talented young man!"

Xuanyuan Xi was a little embarrassed. She seemed to be no longer a 20-year-old young person.

"Xiao Xiaoyou's paintings are regarded as the leader. I have never displayed my children's paintings together with hers. This is because the old woman feels that she cannot teach the children at her own level. In the future, she will just do the same thing as her peers."

"What do you think, Xiaoyou Xiao?"

When all the eyes came together again, Xuanyuan Xi was used to it. She glanced at the young girls around her and touched her nose guiltily: Is this considered bullying the younger?
