Now that the emperor has spoken, who else dares to force Gu Xiaowan to show off her talents? No one in the Qing Dynasty dared to do so.
However, King Nanling would not dare to do so. He supported his chin with his hand and said with a fascinated look on his face: "I was moved by what Miss Song said. Emperor Qing, your country is superb in all kinds of skills. I saw all the ladies today." Her poems and songs opened my eyes, and Miss Song’s superb magic tea technique also made my eyes shine. The Qing culture is broad and profound, which really impressed me. Miss Song said that Princess Anping was the most talented in the Qing Dynasty. Overflowing, I am very curious, so many talented ladies, can’t compare to Princess Anping? How about the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty please satisfy my curiosity? "
King Nanling actually came to beg!
Shu Tianci's face was very unhappy, but he couldn't express it easily, and everyone's eyes turned to Gu Xiaowan, waiting to see how Gu Xiaowan would answer.
Gu Xiaowan stood there. Just standing there, she felt unrivaled. King Nanling became more and more curious. He didn't expect that this girl was so talented. It was really impressive.
For a moment, curiosity arose, and he wanted to suppress the strong aura of this girl. This girl looked thin, but the power contained in her body could not be underestimated.
Gu Xiaowan didn't answer for a long time, and everyone looked better.
Someone even snorted coldly behind him: "Relying on the emperor's favor and disregarding my Qing Dynasty's face, it is simply embarrassing, not even half as good as Miss Song!"
"It's not just half, it's not even comparable to Miss Song's hair. She knows how to make tea! Who can learn more than two of her poems and songs? Who can't do it! Miss Song has learned the magic of tea. Many years. In this world, except for Master Wenyan, only Miss Song can do it. She can do what others can do, and she can do what others can’t. Who can compare to Miss Song? Who is the most talented woman in the world? Even Miss Song Not even a strand of hair can compare to it!”
Although the voice was kept very low, Gu Xiaowan, who was standing in front, still heard it, and Tan Yushu also heard it. He turned around and glared at the two young ladies who were whispering, which frightened them into silence.
Seeing that Gu Xiaowan was still standing, Tan Yushu hurriedly pulled her and said, "Sister, please sit down. I'll go talk to the emperor."
Princess Lihua on the side also looked at Master Song Qing displeasedly, but the man refused to look at her and kept her head slightly lowered, with a look of grievance and fear on her face, as if she had been bullied.
Princess Lihua is also afraid that Gu Xiaowan will be wronged. No matter what she does next, Anping will suffer. With Song Qingshi Zhuyu at the front, Anping will not be able to perform as well as Song Qingshi unless he performs magic tea. Isn't this Are you going to shame yourself?
The King of Nanling didn't think it was a big deal. The emperor's brother said there was no need to perform anymore. Master Song Qing and the King of Nanling still forced Anping to perform by singing along, which was simply bullying.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess Lihua did not care about etiquette. This is not a time for two people to be jealous. This is a time for the two countries to show their face. Can Master Song Qing be more attentive?
Even if Anping failed, at most it would have a reputation of being inferior. If it really spread to Nanling, it would be a signal of discord within the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing her standing up, Shu Min looked surprised: "Lihua, what's wrong with you?"
The eldest princess Lihua looked at Master Song Qing and said angrily: "Miss Song has the ability to make magic tea. She is indeed the envy of all the women in the Qing Dynasty. However, although Princess Anping is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, she is the most proficient in everything. At least you are not proficient in tea art, let alone the magic tea that Miss Song performed just now. With Miss Song in front of you, aren't you specifically trying to embarrass Anping?"
Master Song Qing did not expect that Princess Lihua would put her thoughts on the table. Yes, she wanted Gu Xiaowan to make a fool of herself and lose to her in front of the emperors of the two countries.
Now, the emperor and the eldest princess are competing to plead for Gu Xiaowan. Master Song Qing feels that the reputation of his century-old Song family has suffered a severe blow.
She is the eldest daughter of the Song family. She has been friends with Shu Min since she was a child. Naturally, she is also friends with the eldest princess Lihua and the emperor. But now, it is obvious that she knows them first and has acquaintances with them before. No one Instead of speaking for her, these two people actually helped Gu Xiaowan to speak.
Master Song Qing glanced at Princess Lihua with a look of horror, and then at Gu Xiaowan. He hurriedly stepped back and said, "It's Master Qing that we have overstepped. I will take back what I just said and hope that Princess Lihua and Princess Anping, please don’t be angry, it’s the young master who is being reckless.”
There was a hint of crying in her voice, and her already fair face was even redder from the embarrassment of Princess Lihua. For a moment, she could neither advance nor retreat, standing in the middle of the field very ashamed.
Suddenly, no one dared to speak for Master Song Qing anymore. Suddenly you looked at me, I looked at you, and when you looked at Gu Xiaowan, there was inexplicable hostility in your eyes!
King Nanling was obviously not afraid of making trouble or getting serious. He chuckled, and through his full beard, he let out a playful smile: "Emperor Qing, I didn't expect that the Emperor Qing didn't have many concubines, but this scheming one There are still a lot of things! However, I also think that Miss Song is right, it is just a discussion, why not? Princess Anping is a good or bad performer, if she can compare with Princess Lihua , I will donate another thousand fine war horses, what do you think?"
Shu Tianci wanted to get angry, but at this moment, he could only hold back: "Oh, what if Princess Anping fails?"
King Nanling smiled: "That means taking back the thousand horses I sent. What do you think?"
Just as Shu Tianci was about to say something, he saw Gu Xiaowan suddenly walked out of her seat, came to the middle, looked at Nanling King and smiled: "Nanling King Guo
It’s really a good calculation. I used one of our young ladies from the Qing Dynasty to bet on the outcome of the Qing Dynasty and Nanling. However, the King of Nanling must have forgotten that whether he is the loser or the winner, he will be from the Qing Dynasty. , So win or lose, shouldn't we all take over the thousand horses from King Nanling? "
