C21

This is a small episode in life, meeting him, I absolutely do not want to. I wandered around for a long time before I returned to the cabin by the river and asked the sunset. I was alone, thinking that my parents would be with me, sweet dreams or beautiful dreams, the fields or green.

The cool breeze blew away the scorching heat of the summer, bringing with it the pleasant autumn wind. A leaf and the knowledge of the autumn. On the first day of autumn, the white clouds in the sky seemed to blow away with a light breeze.

Light powder, sketch eyebrows, put on the bought clothes, mirror me, like me, and not me.

Today was the day of the talent show. He lifted the veil of light, the sun was scorching hot, the sky was blue, and it was clear that today was another good day.

I carried my clothes out the door and walked carefully, afraid that the mud on the ridge would dirty my clothes.

He had to do the best he could after agreeing to her request.

The yellow roof of the palace symbolizes power and power, and is a place beyond my reach. But today, I have to go there for the talent show.

When they arrived at the side palace, they saw that it was packed full of young girls. The fragrance of luxurious clothes wafted in the air as beads of jade sparkled. What a grand and magnificent talent show this was.

I smiled faintly. With my plain looks, how could I get on the stage?

Zhang Xibao, don't make a mistake over the treasure.

All of these young girls were dressed up extraordinarily beautifully. This was just a preliminary test.

"Out of the way, out of the way." An arrogant and proud voice, accompanied by the admiration of the crowd, could be heard. A dozen or so servants dressed in the same shade of blue were surrounding a large palanquin, and next to the beautiful palanquin, there was a dazzling golden tassel.

The door of the sedan opened, revealing a man dressed in bright red … Shangguan Hong.

I peeked at her and lowered my head, but she couldn't see me in this crowd of beautiful women.

Many young ladies of the Shangguan family and nobles sent their gifts over. I quietly watched from the side.

Those noble young ladies were surrounded by people. They chatted and laughed, and their expressions were filled with pride. She didn't seem to need to choose, as she was a well-deserved beauty.

I smiled and waited quietly, but I was loyal to my duty of dismissing the opponents that Zhang Xibao spoke of.

He turned his head to look at the red wall in satisfaction. It was very tall, blocking the scenery inside as well as the liveliness outside.

Inside the red wall, one could only see the tall palace.

A stalk of red apricot, however, couldn't help but climb out of the wall, as if mocking the red wall.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but to smile. What a great opportunity! I don't know why the palace didn't cut off a branch from this tree.

That red apricot flower revealed its head, blooming in such a elegant and beautiful manner that its stamen blossomed and swayed in the wind.

The palace walls and gates were practically the same color, and it was unknown why everything in the palace had to be covered in bright colors.

The sun rose higher and higher, hotter and hotter. Sweat slid down my forehead, but I didn't dare to rub my face too hard, for fear of wiping away the fats.

"What are you laughing at?" a woman next to me asked curiously.

When I turned around, I saw a very plain girl. She was also wearing light blue clothes that weren't too ostentatious, but she was also extremely elegant. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and were as pure as a child's.

I chuckled. "Hur hur, today is a day worth celebrating."

She covered her mouth and laughed. "You must have seen that."

He peeked at everyone around him and then pointed at the red apricot. The smile on his face became even wider. His plain facial features were surprisingly cute and charming as well.

I couldn't help but to laugh a little more as well, as I felt some goodwill towards this girl who was dressed just like me.

He took the initiative to say, "My name is Yun Zhiqiu."

She smiled and said, "Yes, my name is Lu Yao."

They looked at each other and laughed, then looked at the red apricot on the palace wall.

At this moment, the palace door opened, and a few people dressed in dark blue came out, holding spears in their hands and lining up in a row.

Then, a very fat eunuch walked out from the crowd, surrounded by a few young eunuchs.

He cleared his throat and said, "This old servant's surname is Gao. Today, this old servant will announce to all the young misses that I am qualified to take the test."

Everyone quieted down. Some were nervous, some were smiling indifferently. They did not put him in their eyes at all. They stood there impatiently.

Lu Yao softly said, "We have to read the list. This year's Autumn Competition is different from the previous years."
