Being a princess in a world with more men than women

A woman sitting in the corner suddenly became excited after seeing Xu Yuexi's paintings and poems. She pinched her palms tightly and clenched her teeth to prevent herself from showing any abnormality.

Wait, wait, it's not the time yet!

Soon, an hour was up.

By the time Wang Guoan stopped writing, everyone had already finished viewing Xu Yuexi's paintings.

The servant brought Wang Guoan's painting forward for Xu Yan to see.

After taking a quick glance, Xu Yan shook his head. This boy's paintings were average and far inferior to those of his beloved daughter.

The poem is just okay, but the handwriting is pretty good.

Wang Guoan uses traditional ink painting.

The brushstrokes of his painting "Flowers of the Imperial Daughters" are not smooth enough, and the composition of the picture seems a bit messy.

In the use of colors, he seems to be too focused on the effect of ink and wash, so that the layering of the whole picture is not strong, giving people a bland feeling.

Let's look at his poems again. His poems are beautifully written and have harmonious rhythms, giving people a beautiful enjoyment. However, the artistic conception of his poems is not as profound as the one written by Xu Yuexi.

After all, it is a poem that has been passed down for thousands of years, so it is normal that it is difficult for ordinary people to surpass it.

But his calligraphy is really good.

His handwriting is vigorous and powerful, as majestic as a storm, and every stroke is full of power and passion.

After everyone present watched the calligraphy, they felt that both his and Xu Yuexi's calligraphy were good, each with its own merits, so it was a draw.

Best of four games, Xu Yuexi won!

"Wang Guoan, do you have anything to say about this?" Xu Yan asked.

"Your servant Wang Guoan is inferior in skills to others, so I will accept the defeat and let the emperor punish me."

At this time, Wang Guoan seemed to have come to his senses and clearly realized his own shortcomings.

He regretted it!

He was too conceited and didn't expect that he couldn't even beat a woman.

He now realized what the Regent meant when he said that. It would have been great if he had listened to him at that time! Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now!

"Wang Guoan, the son of Left Capital Censor Wang Yan, was rude to the princess and disrespectful to women. He is forbidden to marry in the future. Also, because he is not talented and has poor moral character, he is disqualified from taking the imperial examination."

"Your Majesty, my son is still young and inexperienced. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy. I ..."

This prevents his son from taking the imperial examination. With him around, his son can still make a living elsewhere.

Even if his son is uneducated and has a bad reputation, he still has a chance to get married.

But if the emperor cancels her right to marry, she will never be able to marry again in her lifetime. This will cut off the royal family's bloodline!

Wang Yan kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"You still dare to beg for mercy? You are a bad parent and I have not punished you yet! Left Censor-in-Chief Wang Yan is now demoted to Left Assistant Censor-in-Chief."

The Censorate was an institution in the State of Saint Jersey that was specifically responsible for supervising the powers of officials. It had the Left and Right Censors-in-Chief as its highest officials, and under them were the Left and Right Deputy Censors-in-Chief, the Left and Right Assistant Censors-in-Chief, and more than one hundred other censors in thirteen regions.

The Left Censor-in-Chief was of the second rank, and the Left Assistant Censor-in-Chief was of the fifth rank.

Xu Yan was very dissatisfied with Wang Guoan's attitude towards Xu Yuexi just now. His precious daughter was right: if a child is not taught well, it is the father's fault.

He can't even teach his own son well, so he probably can't do this job well, so he was demoted three levels.

After Wang Yan and Wang Guoan were taken away, the dinner continued.

Xu Yuexi thought of her "fellow villager".

"Mrs. Zhang"

When Zhang Menglan heard Xu Yuexi calling her, she quickly stood up.

"My wife is here"

Tang Liuqing, Jiang Tian and Zhang Menglan's other four concubines all felt nervous when they heard Xu Yuexi calling Zhang Menglan.

"Mrs. Zhang, I just noticed that you are very familiar with the music I played. I have a question for you."

"Princess, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."

“Odd changes but even doesn’t?”

When everyone heard this, what did it mean? "The chicken changes but the lotus root remains the same"?

Have this chicken and lotus root mutated?

Are all women's chats so weird?

However, as a man, the most basic etiquette is not to interrupt a woman's conversation.

They are all cultured men, they just listen.

"I know this, 'Odds change but evens don't, the sign depends on the quadrant.'"

A voice suddenly sounded in the corner, and Xu Yuexi and Zhang Menglan looked over at the same time.
