But then the young lady danced with the ten little wine Gus on her fingers, all the way down the dance, none of the little wine Gus standing on her fingers fell off. One couldn't help but want to find out if the ten wine bugs stuck to her fingers in some way.

It was only later that the young lady's actions proved this idea to be wrong. She tossed ten wine bugs into the air, and then used dizzying movements to change her fingers and use the gap between her fingers to shake these little wine bugs. Catch it, and from the beginning to the end, none of them fell to the ground, and the movements were so fast that it was impossible to see how she did it. Everyone present couldn't help exclaiming, even the old concubine cheered up and watched with gusto.

In the end, the young lady waved her sleeves, and the ten wine gu disappeared suddenly, and then she moved her hands, and suddenly a large bowl appeared in both hands, which was actually eight-tenths full of tea. I don't know how she did it. If she had hidden the big bowl of tea in her wide sleeve just now, how could she not have spilled it at all? The people present once again marveled at the sublime skill.

The lady smiled sweetly, took the bowl with both hands to the stage, and handed it to Ren Yaoqi: "Mr. Ren, please drink tea." Although she was smiling, there was a trace of provocation in her eyes, as if she was saying Do you dare to drink this bowl of tea in my hand?

Ren Yaoqi naturally didn't want to drink this bowl of something of unknown origin, but she still smiled and took the tea bowl from the lady's hand, lowered her head and smelled it was ordinary incense, and the tea was still smelling. With warm air. She was about to say a few words to dismiss the young lady who was still staring at her, but Xiao Jinglin got up and walked over, pretending to be curious, she took the teacup in her hand without any explanation: "It seems very miraculous, let me try."

Ren Yaoqi thought that what she said was that she wanted to drink, and was about to stop her, but saw Xiao Jinglin imitating the actions of the juggler just now, and the tea bowl that was still in her hand just now disappeared immediately. Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and then they all cheered for Xiao Jinglin.

The conjurer's face was a bit ugly: "Princess, that bowl is my family heirloom. Please return it to me." Where is there any magic in this world? It's just relying on those few seemingly simple appliances.

Xiao Jinglin raised her eyes, then smiled quietly, and suddenly she flicked her sleeves like this girl did before, although her sleeves were not as wide as this lady's, and she didn't look as good when she swung them, but she still let her The people present were amazed. Because in Xiao Jinglin's hand, the ten wine Gu that suddenly disappeared in her hand suddenly appeared.

Xiao Jinglin gave her the ten wine Gu with no expression on her face: "Well, I'll give it back to you, I'll help you change it back!"

Miss Juggler: "..."

It's not something you conjure up. This is what you stole from me! She said sadly and indignantly in her heart. It's a pity that Xiao Jinglin has gone straight back to her seat and resumed her noble and cold-eyed princess style. Ignore her at all.

In the end, when the young lady stepped off the stage, her eyes were red with anger.

Nobody noticed. After sitting down, Xiao Jinglin blinked at Ren Yaoqi, only Ren Yaoqi could see the pleasure in her eyes after teasing others.

Xiao Jinglin thought, if you take out a broken bowl to show off, you dare to force people to drink anything. Find a beating!

These people may think that Princess Xiao is too boring. The fourth and fifth ladies who appeared on the stage performed archery and sword dancing. As a result, the archer always missed the target for some reason, but the sword dancing went smoothly. After the ground dance was over, it was still very pleasing to the eye, but at the end, when he put on a beautiful closing gesture to ask "Mr. Ren" for advice, his shoes flew off and he made a big blush.

Starting from the sixth lady, she finally returned to Wendou.

The sixth Ms. Li who appeared on the stage is a painter, probably because of the influence of the atmosphere in Kyoto, these ladies like to write and draw, and they like to come up with some eye-catching gimmicks. This Ms. Li naturally refused to paint properly. She set up two blank screens, worked with her left and right hands at the same time, and drew two paintings at the same time while dancing. Finally, she completed a picture of flowers and birds and a snow scene in a very short time. picture. The painter is not bad. But all art pays attention to a pure state of mind. If there are too many miscellaneous patterns, it is easy to lose the authenticity. Painting with this kind of state of mind will inevitably add a little bit of craftsmanship and a little bit of aura.

Ren Yaoqi, as the daughter of Ren Shimin, followed Pei Zhiyan and immersed herself in appreciation for many years. Her vision is naturally beyond the comparison of ordinary people, and she made a detailed comment on Miss Li's paintings aside from those tricks. As soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is any. Anyone who knows how to paint and appreciate can see from Ren Yaoqi's comments on Ms. Li's paintings that she is really capable. Even the few who sat with Mrs. Xu An elderly lady who has studied painting really appreciates this "Mr. Ren".

Those who were waiting to see Ren Yaoqi's jokes were silent now. No wonder the Yanbei Palace dared to use the young Ren Yaoqi as a gentleman. If all the ladies who participated in the Qianjin Banquet today were Yanbei's ladies, Ren Yaoqi's outstanding performance might be speculated that the Yanbei Palace intentionally created momentum for her to marry into the Palace, but today she asked for "Mr. Ren" to advise her They were all sent by the Empress Dowager to demolish Yanbei Palace, and no one would suspect that Ren Yaoqi had "communicated" with these people in advance, and they had real skills.

The seventh Ms. Tan and the eighth Ms. Zhuang appeared together. Ms. Tan is good at reciting poems, Ms. Zhuang is good at arranging and singing. The song sings in harmony. Ms. Tan is quick in writing, and Ms. Zhuang's voice is soft, bright and clear. This pair matches very well, which makes people feel refreshed.

Ren Yaoqi is not very good at reciting poems, but she also read and learned as much as she should have read and learned with Master Pei. She still knows how to comment on poems and songs in a few terms that sound very profound. of. In addition, her previous performance was excellent, and her expression remained calm and confident from beginning to end, which gave people an illusion of omnipotence, so after she finished commenting, everyone didn't feel anything wrong. She commented, but did not let her compose a poem on the spot to compete with Ms. Tan.

After the first eight girls finished playing, only Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu were left.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the fight between these beauties from Kyoto and Ren Yaoqi. The ladies from Yanbei who came to the Qianjin Banquet became decorations, and hurriedly stepped down after going through the motions. Everyone knew that the grand finale had to be at the end, so when it was the turn of the two ladies at the end, everyone present cheered up to watch the battle.

Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu looked at each other, and finally Zhao Yingqiu got up first to fight.

At this moment, someone came up to the princess and said a few words in the ear of the princess. The princess seemed a little surprised when she heard the words, she thought for a while and nodded. Then he said with a smile to everyone: "Several adults sent by the imperial court have arrived. Although there have never been men present at our Yanbei's Qianjin Banquet, these adults are all elders with high talents and high morals, and they represent the imperial court. Queen Mother, there is nothing wrong with attending."

After the princess said this, naturally no one dared to have an opinion.

The three adults were quickly brought over, except for Pei Zhiyan who was walking behind, the other two adults were a little embarrassed.

The nuns sent by the queen mother were worried when they saw that these ladies had lost to Ren Yaoqi one by one, so they insisted on inviting some adults to sit in the township, for fear that the Yanbei Palace would bully them by playing tricks behind the scenes. On the contrary, the grown-ups felt a little uncomfortable when they came to the crowd of women.

The princess ordered people to arrange the three adults on the east side of the high platform. Opposite to Mrs. Xu and the others.

After everyone is seated again. Zhao Yingqiu stepped forward and directed towards Yingying Yifu. Said softly: "The little girl is not very talented and has little knowledge. After thinking about it, she can get a little bit good at chess." Her gaze swept across the faces of everyone on the stage, and finally stopped on Ren Yaoqi's face, with a smile in her eyes. Kind of apologetic. "I wonder if 'Mr. Ren' can accompany the little girl in a match?"

Generally speaking, if ladies want to show their chess skills at the Qianjin Banquet, there will be a gentleman who is good at chess. , Take the initiative to admit defeat.

However, now that Ren Yaoqi has been placed in front of the stage by the Yanbei Palace, naturally she will not easily admit defeat. It's just that there is no definite number of winners and losers in chess. Ren Yaoqi doesn't know the depth of this Miss Zhao, so naturally she won't be arrogant enough to think that she can really be invincible in the world. But she is not afraid of losing.

Ren Yaoqi got up and nodded politely towards Zhao Yingqiu. Go to the chessboard. When she walked to Wangfei's side, Wangfei smiled and said to her: "Just relax and go ahead. There is no shame in losing. After all, no one can be an all-rounder."

Ren Yaoqi nodded and said yes. Then sat across from Zhao Yingqiu.

The two made a guess, and Zhao Yingqiu took the sunspot first.

While observing Zhao Yingqiu's ways, Ren Yaoqi thought about how to move slowly. Judging from the beginning, Zhao Yingqiu is considered a middle-level expert among women who can play chess, and he doesn't know how to play chess. He even plays a bit of a hammer here and there, making people unable to fight back like scratching an itch.

Fortunately, Ren Yaoqi has a very calm temperament. She has played many real masters in the world, such as Pei Zhiyan, Xiao Jingxi, especially Pei Zhiyan. People put up a game from time to time, and it lasts half a day.

So no matter whether Zhao Yingqiu did this intentionally to disturb the opponent's thinking, Ren Yaoqi was unmoved.

The two of them had a cup of tea in such a casual game, Zhao Yingqiu was not in a hurry, and Ren Yaoqi was not in a hurry. The crowd who were expecting a wonderful duel were about to doze off after watching it.

Just when everyone thought that this match would go on to the end, Zhao Yingqiu's style of chess suddenly changed, a few pieces fell, and the situation turned upside down in an instant. completely annihilated.

The people present were suddenly refreshed, some sighed in disappointment, and some secretly applauded Zhao Yingqiu. Some people thought that no one has all-round talents, and Ren Yaoqi is not top-notch in everything, so they couldn't help but feel a little comforted.

On the contrary, Ren Yaoqi, who lost half of the city, still looked calm and indifferent, and even she didn't even change her chess style because of this.

As a result, Zhao Yingqiu was unable to maintain the vigor of attacking. The match between the two slowed down again, and Ren Yaoqi regained the lost ground step by step on her own. Although the speed was slow, the rhythm was controlled by her.

Zhao Yingqiu couldn't help but glanced at Ren Yaoqi: "Miss Ren is so determined."

Ren Yaoqi smiled at her when she heard the words, and laid down a child without haste.

In fact, Ren Yaoqi has pondered Zhao Yingqiu's chess moves several times in his heart at this moment, it's good that Zhao Yingqiu doesn't move, just now when she made a game and took half of her, Ren Yaoqi always felt that Zhao Yingqiu's chess moves were inexplicable An eerie familiarity.

She didn't figure it out at first, so she deliberately gave up the area in the lower left corner of her own to see Zhao Yingqiu's moves clearly, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, because Zhao Yingqiu's chess style was actually very similar to Pei Zhiyan's. Ren Yaoqi thought about it carefully, Zhao Yingqiu and the Pei family should have no relationship. So Zhao Yingqiu should have carefully studied Pei Zhiyan's chess game, and then learned about Pei Zhiyan's style of chess five or six points. Clever, if Ren Yaoqi is not too familiar with his husband's ways, it is very likely that he will be deceived by Zhao Yingqiu's tricks.

But Zhao Yingqiu is not Pei Zhiyan after all, limited by her vision and experience, no matter how much she learns to look like, she is only like like.

Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting at the top, took a few glances at the chess game, raised his eyebrows, and smiled. But after a few glances, he gradually became serious again. There is also a touch of interest in the eyes.

Ren Yaoqi's chess style is as calm as ever. Even if she has a slight advantage. However, the situation did not remain so deadlocked. Just when Ren Yaoqi was on the verge of defeat, her style of chess suddenly changed, her murderous aura was overflowing, and she killed decisively. Zhao Yingqiu was caught off guard by her killing, and the rhythm was disturbed by her unknowingly, and Ren Yaoqi accidentally turned the situation back.

Apart from Pei Zhiyan watching it with great interest, Mrs. Xu was also very surprised when she saw this, because the trick that Ren Yaoqi used to defeat Zhao Yingqiu just now was obviously used in the last time Xiao Jingxi was on the boat. The ultimate move that Pei Zhiyan used.

Ren Yaoqi had learned Xiao Jingxi's moves perfectly, but Zhao Yingqiu was not Pei Zhiyan after all. At that time Pei Zhiyan gritted his teeth and resisted Xiao Jingxi's killer move, but Zhao Yingqiu couldn't resist Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi had indeed used Xiao Jingxi's tricks. When she saw Zhao Yingqiu imitating Pei Zhiyan's chess style, she thought of the last game on the boat, and couldn't help but feel itchy. In addition, Ren Yaoqi knew Pei Zhiyan's ways better than Xiao Jingxi. So in the many traps set by Zhao Yingqiu, she was like walking on the ground.

Then Zhao Yingqiu was defeated like a mountain, Ren Yaoqi didn't want to delay the battle, so he killed Zhao Yingqiu in the most direct, simple and brutal way. From this point of view, Ren Yaoqi should indeed be the daughter-in-law of the Yanbei Palace, and it's not that the family does not enter the family. It should be gratifying that King Yanbei was present.

When the last fierce move was executed without delay, Pei Zhiyan, who was sitting above him, patted the table and shouted "Okay!"

Who is Pei Zhiyan? He came from a prominent background, a young champion, the emperor's teacher, and a figure admired by students all over the world. His good cry gave Ren Yaoqi a big face, and the princess could not help but curl her lips and smile.

In fact, what Pei Zhiyan wanted to express at the time was: He is really a good student who draws inferences from one example and other cases from another!

But the hello has already been uttered, and it doesn't matter what Pei Zhiyan wants to express. Everyone just needs to know that Mr. Pei appreciates the talents of Miss Ren's family.

Zhao Yingqiu's face turned pale, she looked down at the chess game, forced a smile, and conceded defeat.

Zhao Yingqiu went down, and Yan Ningshuang was the last to enter.

Yan Ningshuang's complexion was also not very good. The queen mother sent ten ladies to Yanbei, but none of the first nine took advantage of it. One can imagine the pressure on her to be the last one to appear. But seeing Ren Yaoqi standing on the stage showing her sharpness and accepting all kinds of admiring gazes, Yan Ningshuang bit her lip, took a deep breath and stood up.

"What talent does Miss Yan want to show?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help asking when she saw that Yan Ningshuang stood up empty-handed, and there were no maids to prepare musical instruments, paper and pens, etc.

Yan Ningshuang straightened her back and stood in the arena, said with a slight smile, "I'm comparing books."

"Book?"

The people present were a little curious when they heard the words. Yan Ningshuang didn't hold a book in her hand. How does this "book" compare?

Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi, pointed to her head and said, "My books are all here. I have heard that Ms. Ren is very knowledgeable, and I can't help but want to ask Ms. Ren to teach me a thing or two."

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the words. It was too arrogant to speak to Ms. Yan. She even said that she had written all the books in her head, and who was more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than Ms. Ren?

Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Yan Ningshuang to compare with her, so she couldn't help asking: "How does Miss Yan want to compare?"

Yan Ningshuang seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and replied calmly: "I will say something casually, and Miss Ren will name the source. Miss Ren will say something, and I will point out the source, how about it?"

This method is simple and direct, and relatively fair, but the person who can propose this method of competition must have extremely strong confidence in himself, and Ren Yaoqi is also a little curious about this Miss Yan's ability.

"But..." Yan Ningshuang suddenly changed her words, and when everyone's attention turned to her, she smiled slightly, "But I still have an additional bet, I wonder if Miss Ren dares to accept it?"

Yan Ningshuang's words were unabashedly provocative, and everyone turned their heads to look at Ren Yaoqi.

Ren Yaoqi refused to be fooled, she smiled and said, "I'm just grading today, not participating in the competition." But everyone seems to have forgotten this.

Yan Ningshuang bent her lips, and her tone was affirmed with some disdain: "You don't dare!"

Ren Yaoqi was not annoyed, but said curiously, "I don't know what kind of bet Ms. Yan wants to raise?"

Yan Ningshuang glanced at her: "If you lose, follow me to Kyoto and stay for three years!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, the princess and Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but frowned.

Ren Yaoqi also raised her eyebrows. This Ms. Yan is really straightforward. Everyone knows that her marriage with Xiao Jingxi is scheduled for August, and following her to the capital is to make her regret the marriage? And it's not certain whether she can come back after going to Kyoto!

A girl from Yanbei was unconvinced: "What if you lose?"

Yan Ningshuang smiled proudly: "If I lose, let her handle it!"

Ren Yaoqi smiled and shook her head, jokingly said: "Miss Yan, you are a distinguished guest sent by the queen mother, even if I win, I can't dispose of you at will. So you might as well just say that you want to invite me to your house A guest at home."

After everyone heard the words, after thinking about it, Ms. Yan really doesn't suffer no matter whether she wins or loses! But who does she think she is? Why should she do whatever she wants?

Someone from below mocked in a low voice: "Aren't you awake? She thinks this is her garden!"

Yan Ningshuang didn't believe that she would lose to Ren Yaoqi, so she just said what she wanted to do without thinking too much. She didn't want to be said so, so she couldn't help but blush.

Just at this time, the old concubine who was sitting at the top spoke casually: "If you want to compare, just compare. If you don't have the guts, won't you lose face for us Yanbei?"

No one knows the mentality of the old princess when she said this, but it is obvious that she agreed with this competition. The scene couldn't help being silent again, everyone watched the reaction of Wang Hao and Ren Yaoqi.

The concubine couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when she heard this, and was about to speak, when Concubine Yun, who had been sitting on the side and had nothing to do with herself, said, "How can there be a reason for a master to compete with a student? This is to lose Yanbei's face. It's getting late , the sooner Ms. Yan finishes her presentation, the sooner the banquet will be over. Wangfei, let's begin!"

Concubine Yun's complexion said this sentence with unquestionable power, which completely suppressed the old princess's aura, no matter how ugly the old princess's face was.

The old concubine's face turned red and then turned white. Concubine Yun would sweep her face several times today as soon as she came, so that she could not get off the stage in public. She wanted to have a fit but couldn't hold back this face, because there was no chance of winning against Concubine Yun. The old princess was so overwhelmed that she almost couldn't breathe.

Concubine Yun made a decision, and this farce was forced to end. Although Yan Ningshuang was unwilling, she did not dare to refute Concubine Yun, even the old concubine stopped talking.

Ren Yaoqi raised her head in surprise and glanced at Concubine Yun who rescued her. Concubine Yun glanced at her, then averted her gaze lightly.

The princess winked at Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu stepped forward calmly to announce the continuation of the match.

Yan Ningshuang looked at Ren Yaoqi, and secretly swore in her heart that no matter what, she would definitely win this round. RO
