In late July, the summer heat in the southern border was a bit more intense, and it was quite a posture to cook people.

Fortunately, herbal tea and anti-summer medicines are being used in an orderly manner in front of many city gates in southern Xinjiang. This wave of heat has finally not caused a catastrophic impact on southern Xinjiang. The seven-day rash was also controlled by Nangong Yue in an orderly manner. Although several children have been sent to the Lujia Medical Center from time to time due to fever, there has been no large-scale infection. , and no children died, so Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

The anti-heat medicine was being produced in an orderly manner, and the anti-sickness medicine was completed under the repeated discussions and trial production of Nangong Yue and Lin Jingchen. Mausoleum City.

Everything is on track.

In addition to the bitter summer and the constant icebergs in the house, Nangong Yue also slowly adapted to the life in the southern border, and took care of the Zhennan palace properly, and no one could fault it.

The time has come to the first day of the eighth month, and the show will come in the spotlight.

Not all the mansions will get the posts of the Show Club, it is more of a status symbol, and as a result, there are few mansions that get posts that will not come.

So, when Nangong Yue took Xiao Fei and arrived at Wanmu Academy in her newly built Zhu Lun cart, all kinds of carriages and horses had long lined up in front of the academy.

This young man on horseback is quite convenient, just dismount and hand over the horse to the little servant who came to greet the guest. But these carriages need to be greeted at the main entrance one by one, and then slowly wait for the ladies and girls to get off the carriages before they can be led away by the maids. The long motorcade was slowly advancing at a snail-like speed...until a steward of the academy who came to greet the guests saw the Zhu Lunche at the back, and immediately stepped forward.

Since Xiao Fang was appointed by the imperial concubine, only the imperial concubine in the entire southern Xinjiang is qualified to ride on this red-covered, red-clothed, and red-draped red-wheeled car.

The steward knew in his heart that it was the concubine who came with the princess from the palace. After he bowed to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei from outside the car, he personally led Zhu Lunche into the academy through the corner gate and hurriedly called another one. The woman in the lake-colored dress helped to welcome the guests.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei got out of the car, Taoyao handed the post to the woman, after the woman took the post, she didn't even look at it and said respectfully, "Prince Prince, Miss Xiao, I don't know about you. Do you two want to go to the tea room to take a rest first, or go to the Tianxi Hall to appreciate calligraphy and painting?"

The reason why the woman asked this question is because most of the ladies who come here today choose to sit in the tea room temporarily, while the young girls are energetic and often walk around the academy together to watch fish, flowers, calligraphy and painting. As for the sons, they will all be taken directly to the Zangxiu Pavilion, so as not to collide with the female relatives.

Xiao Fei glanced at Nangong Yue, saw that she nodded slightly to herself, and said, "Let us go to the Tianxi Hall."

The woman answered and led the way ahead. After passing through the courtyard with the bluestone floor, there was a section of hand-picking veranda. As the woman walked forward, she actively introduced Wanmu Academy to Nangong Yue and the other two, which was the place where the students read in the morning, the piano room, and the Yushulou...

The woman is articulate, and occasionally tells a relevant allusion or interesting little story. Xiao Fei is fine, she is already familiar with it, but Nangong Yue is very interested in hearing it.

Passing through another veranda, and then turning right, there is a small pond in front of it. A small bridge is paved with bluestone slabs on the pond. Five or six young girls are standing together with a girl wearing a white magnolia robe. On the bridge, the girl's waist was straight and her temperament was as elegant as a hibiscus.

The girls smiled and spoke to the lotus flower in the pool under the bridge.

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei walked along the edge of the pond. The two girls on the small bridge looked around curiously when they saw someone passing by. The girl in the pink skirt whispered and whispered to the girl in the green skirt beside them. At the same time, his eyes swept towards Nangong Yue from time to time.

The people beside the two girls also seemed to have heard their conversation. The six girls all looked at Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei. Most of their faces were filled with excitement. The girl's face was a little stiff.

The girl with the moon-white robe was Qiao Ruolan. Of course she also saw Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, but she didn't step forward, but the five girls beside her all moved and walked towards them. .

"I've seen the first concubine, Miss Xiao." The girls were all blessed and greeted Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue smiled and signaled that they didn't need to be more polite, and glanced at these girls. There were a few faces that were familiar, but they had seen them before.

One of the girls with a pomegranate-colored cloud-patterned robe said boldly: "Prince Concubine, Miss Xiao, are you two going to the Tianxi Hall?" First of all, it is not far from the Tianxi Hall. Second, I have heard for a long time that Miss Xiao likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she would like to go to the Tianxi Hall to appreciate calligraphy and painting, which is also a matter of course.

Nangong Yue nodded in agreement, the girl in the pomegranate-colored dress said to herself, with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "Prince Concubine, Miss Xiao, we happen to be going to the Tianxi Hall, why don't we go together? Bar?"

The other girls also echoed, most of them had already forgotten about Qiao Ruolan, only the girl in the pink skirt seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly turned to look at Qiao Ruolan who was still on the bridge. She was about to raise her voice to greet Qiao Ruolan, but when her eyes met Qiao Ruolan's face that seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, she subconsciously swallowed.

Qiao Ruolan glared at them coldly, then turned away without looking back.

For a time, those girls were a little dumbfounded. The princess was here, but she didn't come up to greet her. Qiao Ruolan didn't know how to behave!

They couldn't help thinking that when they came back from Qiao's flower fair that day, the elders in the family had told Qiao Ruolan not to be too enthusiastic in the future. They may not be completely clear about the reason, but most of them still follow the instructions of their elders. It happened to happen today, so I said hello to Qiao Ruolan and just said a few words, but I didn't expect to see this scene.

They secretly decided that they should obey their elders' orders obediently in the future.

I don't know if Concubine Shizi would be unhappy just seeing them and Qiao Ruolan together?

The girls were a little apprehensive, carefully observing their words and expressions.

There has been no "Prince Concubine" in Nanjiang for a long time. The former princess, Xiao Fang, was more inclined to do things based on personal likes and dislikes, so they followed the instructions of their elders to be more cautious to avoid making mistakes, and this habit has been retained until now.

Nangong Yue glanced at Qiao Ruolan's distant back with a smile, and said lightly to Que'er, "Go and tell auntie, it's time for cousin Lan to learn the rules."

Queer was blessed to lead the order: "Yes."

The girls all sucked in a breath of cold air. Speaking of which, whether it was public or private, Qiao Ruolan didn't come forward to salute, it was a very unruly behavior.

Queer was ordered to go, and the girls also wanted to see if the imperial concubine would take the opportunity to reprimand one or two more, but she just smiled indifferently: "Let's go to the Tianxi Hall."

The girls looked at each other in dismay, and when they saw that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had walked away a few steps, they quickly followed.

Along the way, the girls became even more enthusiastic. You talked to Nangong Yue and Nangong Yue every word, but before they said a few words, the Tianxi Hall appeared in front.

The Tianxi Hall consists of five spacious and bright halls, with pantries and tea rooms on both sides. At this moment, the sixteen vermilion fans are wide open, and at a glance, you can see that many people in the hall are already admiring calligraphy and painting.

As soon as Nangongyue's group entered the Tianxi Hall, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. Most of them had never seen Nangongyue, but Xiao Fei still knew several girls. The elders went to the small banquet in Bixiaotang and knew the identity of Nangongyue.

In the bright and bright hall, the girls who were admiring the paintings became agitated, and immediately someone came up to salute Nangong Yue.

"I've seen the first concubine, Miss Xiao." A young girl wearing a blue-blue pan-gold embroidered cotton waistcoat and a green pleated skirt bowed humbly to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei.

"Girl Hua."

Both Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei had a good impression of Hua Huiyu's extraordinary painting skills, and they looked at her with a little more affection.

For a time, those female relatives who could not fully confirm the identity of Nangong Yue also rushed forward and bowed respectfully to her.

It was different from when Nangong Yue first arrived in the Southern Border. At that time, many people were uneasy about which side to turn due to concerns about the clear distinction between King Zhennan and the prince. But now, Nangong Yue has officially taken charge of the central feeder of Zhennan Wangfu. It can be seen that she has completely established her feet. Those people who were still watching naturally don’t need to wait and see anymore. They only regret why they didn’t Go to Bixiaotang's post, and make good dealings with the imperial concubine early.

Who would have thought that the princess had only been here for three months, and she could already let the prince put all the central feed into her hands!

Nangong Yue responded mildly one by one, and there was no particular enthusiasm in her expression, nor did she deliberately cool down anyone.

After seeing the ceremony, Xiao Fei couldn't wait to scan the hall for half a circle, and then asked Hua Huiyu, who arrived a step earlier, "What masterpieces did Miss Hua see today?"

As soon as he mentioned the painting, Hua Huiyu's eyes burst into a strange look, and he couldn't hide his excitement and said, "I just saw the painting "Snow Fishing Alone in the Cold River" in the hall next door, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, and her beautiful face was radiant, she said, "So Miss Hua also likes Tang Yan?!"

Hua Huiyu said with a smile: "Tang Yanzhi's paintings are new in the law, and the magic is in the bold, it is really a perfect creation!"

Xiao Fei patted her palm and praised: "Miss Hua is right."

Seeing the two girls talking happily, Nangong Yue said with a smile, "Sister Fei, let's go to the next door to see the paintings together."

Xiao Fei naturally had no objection, and the group walked towards a small door in the northwest corner of the hall. A bamboo curtain was hung on the small door, and the servant girl who was serving hurriedly picked the curtain for them.

Many girls who were originally in the hall spontaneously followed behind Nangong Yue and the others, and the team doubled in size for a while, and it was mighty.

The room next door is a little smaller, and there are not many words on it. On the walls on the east and west sides, there are only two paintings and calligraphy, but these four paintings are rare treasures, such as Tang Yan's "Fishing the Cold River Alone". "Snow" is definitely worth a thousand pieces of gold.

When the people who were originally admiring the paintings saw Nangongyue and the others coming, they saluted generously and then avoided them.

This painting "Fishing the Snow in the Cold River Alone" is just like its title, quiet and cold. I saw a small boat floating on the snowy river, and an old fisherman was fishing alone in the ice and snow.

Just looking at it like this, makes people feel pure and silent, spotless, silent, and even the viewer becomes calm.

Nangong Yue quietly admired the paintings, and carefully tasted the painter's brushstrokes, colors, artistic conception...

When she came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Fei, she saw that Xiao Fei was still obsessed with the painting, and muttered in her mouth: "...painting a figure is like taking a shadow with a lamp, going against the current... The circle turns to the clothes fluttering."

Nangong Yue didn't intend to disturb her, so she simply went to the side to enjoy other calligraphy and paintings.

While Nangong Yue was admiring a piece of wild grass, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she didn't care, until Baihui's salute sounded: "I have seen Miss Qiao Biao, Miss Du Biao."

Nangong Yue followed the sound and saw Qiao Ruolan and Du Xinmin coming together, standing three or five steps away from her. This time, Qiao Ruolan was blessed and said, "I have seen my cousin."

Nangong Yue nodded lightly with the two daughters: "Cousin Lan, cousin Min."

Qiao Ruolan got up quickly and met Nangong Yue's eyes straight, without detouring, she said straight to the point: "I heard that Biao's sister-in-law came from a well-known Nangong family, she must have an extraordinary talent and learning, which is beyond our reach. Today's rare promotion. Xiuhui, may my cousin condescend to compare with me to see who can write more different fonts?"

Before waiting for Nangong Yue's response, Du Xinmin said innocently, "Yes, cousin sister-in-law, let's discuss with cousin Lan! Speaking of which, in a few days, it will be my cousin's uncle's birthday, right?" Du Xinmin The uncle of the cousin is of course King Zhennan, "Why don't you and Cousin Lan each write a picture of a hundred birthdays, or send it to Uncle Biao to celebrate his birthday."

There was an uproar all around, and the female relatives whispered. The provocation in Qiao Ruolan's words was too obvious. She dared to challenge the princess in public, presumably because she was very confident in her talent. Also, Qiao Ruolan can be called the Southern Border Shuangshu not only because of her background, but also because of her own talent and learning, which has impressed many talented and arrogant girls.

And Du Xinmin simply moved King Zhennan out, just to force Nangong Yue to respond.

Everyone's eyes were turned to Nangong Yue, and there was a little expectation on his face, but he was more curious to see if Nangong Yue would take up this challenge.

Nangong Yue still had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, elegant and calm.

Didn't Qiao Ruolan and Du Xinmin think that they would be afraid of other people's eyes and be manipulated by the two of them? Why did the prince and concubine of the dignified Zhennan want to compete with a little girl in a dignified manner?

Nangong Yue's eyes swept across the two of them, and she asked with a smile, "Cousin Lan, why do you want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Qiao Ruolan was displeased, but Nangong Yue didn't expect the other party to answer at all, and continued: "Since I was a child, when my father enlightened me, he taught me that qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are leisurely and self-cultivating. Those who are good at chess are wise and wise, those who are good at writing have the utmost affection and nature, and those who are good at painting are perfect and beautiful.”

Nangong Yue said eloquently, the girls around were all thoughtful, but Qiao Ruolan's face was not very good-looking.

Saying that, Nangong Yue's eyes showed a sharp look, "Cousin Lan, the way of painting, chess, calligraphy and painting is not for showing off, competing for strength."

What the princess said was very true! The girls around them looked at each other and communicated with their friends, and they all agreed with each other.

For a while, the eyes they looked at Qiao Ruolan were a little subtle. They used to think that Qiao Ruolan was an extraordinary learner, but now she wants to compete with others and show off her talents, which is really inferior. In contrast, another big girl Xiao from Southern Border Shuangshu is low-key and reserved, not flamboyant or showing off.

Qiao Ruolan's face was as black as charcoal, she just left the bridge in a rage and went to the tea room, but she didn't expect that Nangong Yue sent a maid over to tell her mother to teach her the rules. .

So, she and Du Xinmin came here, the purpose is to give Nangongyue a show of power. She is very confident in her talent, and believes that even if Nangongyue claims to be from a Nangong family, she will definitely be defeated by her. Disgraced in front of the crowd!

But I didn't expect that this time it was me who was embarrassed again? !

Qiao Ruolan was not reconciled. She was about to speak when a familiar female voice sounded: "Cousin Lan, you will not have to learn from each other. Since my cousin is so happy, it is better for me and my cousin to write a birthday picture for my father. how?"

While speaking, Xiao Fei walked slowly to Nangong Yue's side, her eyes clear as water, bright and firm.

The rest of the female relatives in the hall became more turbulent, or whispered, or secretly exchanged glances, all thinking: It seems that there is really a good show to watch today!

Du Xinmin was even more surprised than Qiao Ruolan for Xiao Fei's proposal. Since Xiao Fei avoided the competition with Qiao Ruolan twice in Huanxi Pavilion and Bixiaotang, Du Xinmin always felt that Xiao Fei had a false reputation and could not compete with Qiao Ruolan at all. Thinking that Xiao Fei actually changed his style today? !

Nangong Yue looked at her with a smile, Xiao Fei didn't like a false name, but as the eldest girl in the palace, she was extremely low-key, and there were even many girls in the mansion in southern Xinjiang who had never seen her. But in fact, in the absence of the princess, the palace should be supported by her prince concubine and the big girl Xiao Fei. Obviously, Xiao Fei gradually realized this.

Regarding Qiao Ruolan's provocation, she should not have to respond because of her identity, but Xiao Fei responded because of the face of the palace.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion can't just let anyone provoke him without fighting back!

Seeing that Xiao Fei suddenly became the focus of everyone, Qiao Ruolan clenched her fist tightly in her sleeve, but she was also secretly relieved.

She has given up the idea of ​​competing with Nangong Yue, she has lost face at this point, and the only way to save face is to win! She must win Xiao Fei and let everyone know that Qiao Ruolan is the most outstanding woman in the southern border.

Qiao Ruolan's mouth curled into a sneer, and said slowly: "Then ask my cousin to enlighten me!"

As she said that, she looked at the woman beside her who was leading the way for her, and without her having to speak, the woman took the initiative to say: "Miss Xiao, Miss Qiao, the ink, ink, ink and inkstone are ready, and I also invite all the servants and servants. Go this way." During the show, the girls competed against each other for talent, and that was nothing new. Originally, there was a special hall reserved in the Tianxi Hall, just for this kind of thing.

If there is anything special about today's competition, it is also because of the two people who participated in the competition. The name of the Southern Border Shuangshu is well known among the ladies in Luoyue City.

The woman was leading the way for the female guests in front. At the same time, many ladies quietly ordered their maids to notify other friends to come and watch the fun. For a time, it could be said that people came and went without end.

The group went to the westernmost hall of the Tianxi Hall in a mighty manner. There was originally no one there. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are already readily available.

More and more people heard about Xiao Fei and Qiao Ruolan's upcoming exam, and they came from all over the academy to watch. After a while, the hall became bustling with young girls and their personal maids.

Xiao Fei and Qiao Ruolan stood side by side in front of a desk, Qiao Ruolan glanced at Xiao Fei and instructed the maid to start grinding ink.

On the other hand, Xiao Fei was also busy, she did not ask Taoyao to help, but chose to polish the ink by herself.

Pick up the inkstone and pour some water on the inkstone table, then pick up the ink stick, press hard, spin lightly, straighten and orientate.

Under the repeated grinding of the ink stick, the clear water gradually turned into jet-black ink. Xiao Fei grinded the ink slowly and slowly, watching the ink ingot spinning on the inkstone table, circle after circle, her heart gradually calmed down...

When she was a child, the husband who enlightened her once said that studying ink is the best way to prepare before writing or painting, and it is also a good way to purify the mind.

Xiao Fei also agreed with it, and often liked to study ink by herself to purify her heart.

Before she knew it, the hustle and bustle around her was isolated from her heart.
