Chapter 762 Concubine Selection (8)

Concubine Liu and Concubine Li also complimented, and glanced at Nangong Chen with a scrutiny. The two couldn't help nodding secretly, this eldest girl from Nangong Mansion was really outstanding.

"Look!" Someone in the hall suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, "Why is a butterfly flying over?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a pair of colorful butterflies fluttering their wings and flying over the heads of everyone, flying towards Nangong Tsang's "Dragonfly on Lotus", one of which also landed on the lotus flower in the painting. , lingering.

Seeing this scene, everyone was amazed, and the Queen was also eye-opening, and praised: "The lotus flower in this painting actually attracts butterflies to fly. This is the first time this palace has seen it."

"I didn't expect the real lotus outside the pavilion to attract butterflies as much as the lotus in the painting. The painting skills of Miss Nangong are really superb." Concubine Zhang covered her mouth and smiled.

The queen gave Nangong Ting a pair of colored lotus hairpins.

After Nangong Ting thanked him, he returned to his seat. When she sat down, she glanced at the front left pretending to be inadvertent, and saw Prince Cheng quickly nodding to her, his eyes full of smiles and tenderness seemed to say, you did a good job!

"Sister Tseng," Jiang Yixi, who was beside her, said with a smile, not noticing her abnormality, and said with admiration, "I knew before that your painting skills were superb, but I didn't know you were so skilled. You can give me some pointers in the future. "

"Sister Xi, don't make fun of me." Nangong Chen half bowed his head in embarrassment. After being praised by the queen, she was not happy, but felt a little heavy in her heart. She played with the pair of glazed lotus hairpins in her hands, feeling a trace of guilt in her heart.

After all, she failed her father's expectations for her. Just the day before yesterday, her father, Nangong Qin, had asked her to talk to her, meaning that she didn't want her to marry into the royal family, and she only needed to be mediocre today.

But the King...

The original indecision disappeared at the moment when she saw King Cheng today, and she wanted to fight for herself again, to fight for that happiness. As cousin Xiao said, if you don't fight for it now, you will regret it in the future, and you will always think that it would be great if you took that step...

Nangong Tsang also made up her mind. She didn't want to perform hastily. She hoped that she would perform well and leave a good impression on the queen, so that when King Cheng wanted to marry her, it would be smoother.

Now that she has worked hard for their future, it is up to King Cheng, hoping that he can live up to her expectations...

Nangong Chen closed his eyes, his eyes were extremely complicated.

"Miss Nangong is so versatile, I wonder if the other girls in Nangong Mansion are the same."

It was supposed to be the next girl Huang's turn to perform, but Concubine Zhang's sudden words brought everyone's attention to Nangong Yue—the only other Nangong girl present was Nangong Yue!

Concubine Zhang hooked her red lips and said again with a smile that was not a smile: "Yaoguang County Lord, this palace still remembers that the emperor personally praised County Lord Hui Zhi Lan Xin, if you want to talk about appearance and talent, County Lord is in the capital That's second to none." She had a gentle and charming smile on her face, and her voice was gentle and tactful, but the words she said had a different meaning, trying to push Nangong Yue to the forefront, "The county master is so good, why don't you Come to perform, I believe that the county master will definitely be able to overwhelm the group and become the leader."

With just a few words from Concubine Zhang, many girls looked at Nangong Yue with a hint of jealousy or envy.

Nangong Ting frowned, and looked at Nangong Yue with some unease. Concubine Zhang's words made Nangong Yue a target of public criticism.
