Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

After the emperor pondered for a moment, he looked at Qinghe and said, "Princess Jiahe, what do you think?"

Prince Chen wanted to speak but was stopped by Qinghe, who said, "Aye, leave this matter to me." After that, she squeezed Prince Chen's hand soothingly.

Qing He bowed and said:

“Your Majesty, the reputation of the God of War Prince Chen has spread far and wide, and there must be countless women in the world who want to marry the prince.

Although I know that the prince's words will surely make many women sad, I cannot ask me to compete every time a woman wants to marry into the prince's palace.

In order to make Miss Jiang give up, I can compete with her today, but I hope that such things will not happen again after today."

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was indeed true.

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly and said, "Princess Jiahe is absolutely right."

Jiang Meixin's face turned pale instantly after hearing Qinghe's words. She didn't expect Qinghe to be so straightforward.

Qing He continued, "In that case, please let Miss Jiang choose the competition item first."

Jiang Meixin gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's compete in calligraphy first."

The emperor whispered something to Chief Steward Gao, who nodded and said to everyone:

"In the first round of calligraphy competition, both sides will write a line of poetry, which must be completed within one stick of incense."

So, the two of them came to the desk and prepared to start a calligraphy competition.

Jiang Meixin took a deep breath, stood quietly in front of the table, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and after a little thought, began to write on the paper. Her handwriting was beautiful and neat, and every stroke revealed her seriousness and concentration.

Qinghe was not in a hurry and stood aside calmly. After Jiang Meixin started writing, she slowly picked up the pen, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She held the pen with both hands, dipped it lightly in ink, and moved her wrist flexibly. The handwriting under her pen was as smooth as flowing water, full of power and charm. Everyone was surprised to see Princess Jiahe holding the pen with both hands.

Princess Jiahe came from a farming family and probably didn't know many characters. Yet she held the pen with both hands. It looked like she was going to lose today's calligraphy game.

After a short while, Qinghe had finished, but Jiang Meixin was still writing.

The time of an incense stick passed quickly, and Jiang Meixin just put down her pen. Four palace maids came forward in pairs.

Hold the four corners of the paper and show them to everyone one by one.

The first calligraphy piece that comes to your attention is:

Peach and plum trees compete for beauty,

Orioles and swallows play and dance in colorful costumes.

The poem was written by the poet Dong Da about spring, which is very suitable for the current scene. The graceful hairpin-flowered small regular script is a font commonly used by women nowadays. The font is delicate and beautiful, and it is a rare masterpiece among women.

Everyone looked at it and nodded in praise:

"This calligraphy is beautiful and graceful. It is a masterpiece."

"It's really good. Women are really suitable for writing hairpin flower small calligraphy."

Listening to everyone's praise, Jiang Meixin's mood gradually improved, and she felt that she would definitely win this round.

As she was fantasizing about her victory, she heard exclamations coming from the hall.

Jiang Meixin didn't understand what was going on and went forward to check.

What caught my eye was a pair of words that were majestic, firm and flexible, and flowing like clouds and water:

The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together,

The autumn water is the same color as the sky.

The whole piece of calligraphy is fresh, elegant, smooth and natural. The brushwork is exquisite, showing the beauty of agility between lifting, pressing and turning. The strokes vary in thickness and are full of rhythm.

The spacing between characters is well-balanced, and they are graceful and elegant, showing the beauty of harmonious rhythm.

The structure of the article is well-organized and the lines are coherent, giving people a sense of being completed in one go.

In addition, a variety of brush techniques are used in the writing process, such as the clever combination of center and side strokes, which makes the entire line of the characters rich in variation and texture, showing a free and elegant style.

The poetry and writing complement each other and make it feel like a great piece of work.

Master Bai walked quickly to the calligraphy and said excitedly:

"This is a masterpiece, a masterpiece, a truly masterpiece."

"This is a work I have never seen in my life. I am lucky to see it today!"

"Written by Miss Jiang or Princess Jiahe?"

"I do not know!"

While everyone was discussing, Baili Chuyuan and Shangguan Chengweiye couldn't help but walk down to watch.

The two were shocked by the flowing calligraphy, and after seeing the poems, they exclaimed how good they were.

Baili Chuyuan said with great joy: "This is the best running script in the world, the pinnacle of calligraphy."

Shangguan Chengwei also echoed: "That's right."

The two looked at each other, and Baili Chuyuan announced: "In the first round of calligraphy competition, this piece of writing should be honored."

Seeing this, Qing He stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

The two emperors were delighted and asked, "He girl, did you write this?"

Baili Ye was proud of it and said with a smile: "I wrote this under everyone's watch, so it can't be fake."

Qin Minglang also said:

"Just now my cousin wrote it with both hands, and each word is so free and natural, as if it was written by one hand. Not everyone can do this!"

"Yes, yes, I thought Princess Jiahe couldn't read a few characters and was just scribbling with her hands. I am so ashamed!"

"No wonder Princess Jiahe is known as the most talented woman in Daxia. She really deserves the title."

All the merchants and the Qin family members felt proud when they heard everyone's praise.

Baili Chuyuan looked at Qinghe several times and finally said:

"He girl, I think these two lines of poetry are very good. Can you give me this calligraphy so that I can appreciate it when I have time?"

Qing He smiled and said, "It is my honor that the emperor wants to see it. You can ask Chief Steward Gao to take it away later."

The emperor was happy, but Shangguan Chengwei felt sad. His granddaughter didn't have this font when she was in Daxia last time. He didn't expect that this granddaughter was such a treasure.

What's the point of one pair of calligraphy? With my granddaughter by my side, how many pairs of calligraphy do I need? Shangguan Chengwei thought about it and secretly became happy.

Qinghe won the first round of competition. Jiang Meixin looked at her work and felt a little disappointed. She didn't expect that she lost so badly in the first round of competition.

She thought secretly in her heart that Princess Jiahe won in calligraphy, and archery was her strong point, so she would definitely not lose to her.

After a while, I heard Chief Steward Gao say:

"The second round is archery. Each person has three arrows, and the one with the highest score wins."

Qing He and Jiang Mei Xin came to the archery field, each of them picked up a bow and arrow, ready to start the competition.

Mei Xin was filled with a strong desire, she was determined to win back this round.

With the command, the game began.

Jiang Meixin shot the first arrow, which flew towards the target like a meteor and hit the bull's eye.

Delighted, she adjusted her breathing and shot another arrow, this time slightly off the bull's eye and hitting the nine-ring area. Jiang Meixin looked at her results and thought they were pretty good.

She held her breath, aimed at the bull's eye, and shot another arrow, this time also hitting nine rings, three rings and twenty-eight rings, which is something many men cannot do.

Then the servant reported: "Miss Jiang, I hit the target three times, a total of 28 rings."

After hearing this, everyone cheered and praised: "Ms. Jiang is indeed as capable as any man. Well done."
