Chapter 1515: Participating by oneself is suspected of bullying children
People walked and stopped, feeling the lively atmosphere on the street.
Da Pan's eyes never left Xia Siya, and although Er Pan was not happy, he still stared at Princess Linghua.
“It’s begun…it’s begun…”
The crowd on the street was noisy and crowded, and they all ran in one direction.
"Miss, it must be the Qiqiao Festival talent show!" Shi Liu said excitedly, "Shall we go and take a look?"
"Okay, let's go too!" Tang Bao said happily.
Everyone followed the noisy crowd and was dispersed as they wished.
Tang Bao took a quick look and found that his two nephews were very reliable.
Da Pan stayed close to Xia Siya to prevent her from being squeezed by others.
Erpan protected Princess Linghua and glared at the people around him from time to time.
Princess Linghua was surrounded by guards from Prince Cheng'en's Palace, hiding in the crowd to protect her.
As for Princess Mingli, she had already been surrounded by the guards of Xi Qin and ran to the front excitedly.
"Don't worry about others!"
Xuanyuan Jin's voice came to Tang Bao's ears.
I felt a warmth on my hand, and found that Xuanyuan Jin was holding my hand.
"They will naturally be taken care of."
Xuanyuan Jin said this, holding Tang Bao's hand and walking forward.
Zhao Wu, Shi Liu and others tightly protected the two people.
As for Zhang Cheng, Xuanyuan Jin gave him a day off and he took his daughter Yu'er out to play.
Everyone followed the crowd and soon arrived at the talent show venue.
A tall platform was built in a beautiful and elegant garden.
A woman was standing on the stage, explaining the rules with a smile on her face.
"This year's rules are different from previous years. Besides the County Magistrate's wife, Jinxiufang's Shopkeeper Li, Madam Sima, and Madam Zhang... everyone present can participate..."
Following the woman's words, the lively crowd became excited.
"It's long overdue," someone said approvingly, "Although we trust the ladies, it's always them who make the judgments, which ultimately lacks fairness."
"Why is it like this year?" someone said mysteriously, "It's because the county magistrate's youngest daughter is entering, and so is the ancient embroiderer from Jinxiufang. We don't know who will be the winner, so we'll just let everyone be the judge."
"I see," someone said suddenly, "I heard that the county magistrate's youngest daughter is an excellent embroidery artist and is being sent to the capital to participate in the Crown Prince's selection. If she can win first place at the Qiqiao Festival, her reputation and talent will naturally rise to a higher level..."
Tang Bao turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jin.
Silently asked: Brother, are you going to choose a concubine and marry a wife?
Xuanyuan Jin's face had already turned cold.
Squeezed Tangbao's hand: Don't talk nonsense!
Tang Bao looked at the gossipers and asked in confusion, "One is an embroiderer from Jinxiufang, and the other is the county governor's daughter. The difference in their status is huge. Is it because the embroiderer called Gu Xiuniang's embroidery skills are far superior to the county governor's daughter's, so the judges are reluctant to be too partial and judge her as the winner?"
After hearing what Tang Bao said, everyone immediately took a liking to the girl, seeing that she was a girl with delicate features, a lovely smile, and good clothes.
"Little girl, I'm afraid you don't know that Jinxiufang has a great background." Someone said enthusiastically, "It's run by a big shot in the capital. Even the county magistrate wouldn't dare to offend Jinxiufang."
Tang Bao didn't know that Jinxiufang was so powerful.
However, when his own Fudexiufang opened in the capital, the owner of Jinxiufang went there specially to give him a congratulatory gift.
There was no intention at all that he had stolen her business or that his competitors were his enemies.
An expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on Tang Bao's little face.
Then, he frowned again and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't the most skillful girl be chosen for the Qiqiao Festival? Could it be that social status is also considered? If a girl from a commoner family is skillful, she can't take the top spot, right?"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, the people around him didn't know what to say.
"That's not the case," someone said. "Although the ladies judged the competition in previous years, everyone was convinced by the results."
Because every year it is the embroiderers from Jinxiufang who are the best.
Everyone can see her embroidery skills, and it's impossible not to be impressed.
However, this year the situation is different because the county magistrate's youngest daughter is also participating.
Tang Bao understood the whole story, and the talent show began on the stage.
It turns out that the so-called talent show is that the girls participating in the competition go on stage to perform their talents, such as playing the piano and painting, which is equivalent to canvassing votes in advance and gaining preconceived impression points.
As for whether to perform their talents on stage, it is up to the girls to decide.
After all, some girls from poor families don’t know anything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Miss, do you want to go up?" Shi Liu asked Tang Bao excitedly.
As soon as our young lady comes on stage, whether it is a talent show or an embroidery competition, she will definitely surpass all others!
Tang Bao shook her head and said affirmatively: "No!"
If I go up there, it would feel like I'm bullying a child.
When Shi Liu heard this, his face was filled with regret.
My young lady is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has never shown it in front of others.
In particular, her dazzling embroidery skills have never been shown to others.
As a result, many people in the capital knew that the young lady learned painting from Yu Zhuangyuan and inherited the ancient needlework, but they had never seen the young lady show it.
Naturally, no one has any doubts about Tang Bao's superb embroidery skills.
After all, both Xuanyuan Jin's crown and Princess Huaning's wedding dress amazed the entire capital.
However, no one has ever seen the process of Tang Bao embroidery.
This made Shi Liu very regretful.
Because every time she sees him, she worships him.
"Look! This is the county magistrate's little daughter!"
Someone pointed at a young girl and shouted.
Tang Bao looked up and saw a girl in a light red dress, with picturesque features and skin as white as snow, walking slowly onto the platform with light lotus steps.
Wow! It's really a feast for the eyes, a breathtaking sight.
There was a look of surprise in Tang Bao's eyes.
Then, he turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Jin.
"Brother, a girl with such a beautiful face will not let you down." Tang Bao said.
Although this girl's appearance is not as good as Princess Huaning's, she is still outstanding.
"She's nothing but a reed!" Xuanyuan Jin said with a look of disdain, "She's not even a fraction as good as you!"
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and glared at Tang Bao.
"Don't let your imagination run wild! My brother won't marry!"
Tang Bao: “…Oh.”
Tang Bao thought of Zheng Yuanzheng, and looking at Xuanyuan Jin's eyes, she couldn't help but reveal a trace of sympathy.
Alas! The road is difficult and blocked, but my brother will definitely go against the current!
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
Frowning slightly.
What's with that look, little girl?
