Chapter 28: Ingenious

It didn't take long for Jinse to bring over what Yun Xiao wanted, and everyone's eyes were focused. He didn't know what tricks the fourth girl from the Yun family was going to do.
On a clean tray are placed a small, delicate and sharp knife, a watermelon and cantaloupe, a cucumber, and a cabbage, a few green and white radishes, a few bright red carrots, and a few vivid colors. Fruits and vegetables such as cherry tomatoes and purple grapes.
Worthy of being the emperor's most beloved princess, cantaloupes are available as tribute melons.
Yun Xiao looked down at everything and nodded in satisfaction.
Many people looked at Yun Xiao with gleeful gazes, but Lu did not expect that the daughter said that her own way was to ask for such a bunch of fruits, and said in a panic, "Xiao Xiao, what are you going to do? "
Yun Xiao just smiled comfortingly at Lu, let her mother rest assured, took the things on the tray back to her place, and said respectfully, "The princess, Huining county lord, it takes some time for the people's daughter, since it's a gift County Lord Ning wishes birthday, please continue the banquet."
The county lord of Huining frowned almost invisibly. He couldn't guess what Yun Xiao was going to do. He half-trusted the song and dance to continue, but kept paying attention to Yun Xiao's movement.
Yun Xiao tightened the knife in her hand, and a confident light flashed in her eyes. She picked up a grape in her left hand, and the knife in her hand moved flexibly. Yun Xiao's strength was very light but very calm. After a few breaths, she The grape in his hand became a small purple-red chrysanthemum.
Yun Xiao peeled off the skin of the watermelon, cut the red heart into thin slices of only one inch, spread it on the tray, and made the turquoise skin into a few oval leaves. Not long after, a purple chrysanthemum would It has been done.
On one side, Lu was stunned. She knew that her daughter's cooking skills were very good, but she didn't know that her daughter's mind was so smart.
There was a faint smile at the corner of Yun Xiao's mouth, and he completely ignored the curious, marvelous, or contemptuous gazes of everyone around him.
A group of people came from afar, and when they came closer, they could see that the young man in the front was wearing a moon-white robe, and the lapels of the robe were embroidered with dark patterns of silver magnolia flowers. A pair of eyes radiated as bright and quiet as the moonlight, his eyes were lightly graceful, his eyes were deep, and his eyes were so bright that he could barely open his eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the appearance of the incoming person, staring at the man in a daze, but no one noticed the faint distance in the man's eyes.
Rong Jin's gaze fell on the woman who lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes and was seriously working on the matter in her hands. Her long eyes trembled lightly, leaving a shadow on her eyelids. Rong Jin frowned almost invisible. Then he retracted his gaze.
"The second prince is here!"
Jiading’s singing and drinking made many people come back to their senses, the second prince? In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were two princes, one was from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the other was the proton of Xi Yue, Rong Jin.
Many people secretly said that it is a pity that such a handsome man is actually the proton of West Yue in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Rong Jin walked forward with a calm face. He ordered the young man to deliver the birthday gift he had prepared before smiling. "I heard about the birthday of the county lord of Huining, so I came to congratulate him. You shouldn't be late?"
The eldest princess smiled and thanked her, and the two parties complimented.
But no one noticed that the Huining county lord on one side had a subtle expression, his eyes wrinkled, his eyes fell on Zhou Jin's face, and finally his eyes fell on the third prince Zhou Jingyan.
When Yun Xiao heard Rong Jin's voice, his right hand shook, and there was a slight pain between his left fingers. He even fumbled and said that his finger was cut. Yun Xiao calmly put his bleeding finger into his mouth.
Lu's thoughts were all on his daughter, and he was shocked by her daughter's skills. The corner of his eyes jumped, "What's wrong? Hurt your hand?"
Yun Xiao shook his head and chuckled, the light from the corner of his eyes fell on the moon-white figure. This face was clearly different from what he had seen a few days ago!
With eyes facing each other, Yun Xiao immediately withdrew his gaze, then lowered his eyebrows and continued his work.
The banquet was still going on, but there was an awkward atmosphere. After half an hour, Yun Xiao retracted the knife in his right hand and looked at his work very satisfied.
Yun Xiao suddenly stood up and bowed in salute, "Return to the princess, the head of the county of Huining, the girl has done it."
Everyone glanced over at the moment Yun Xiao's voice sounded.
The turquoise leaves are layered on top of each other, clusters of crystal clear chrysanthemums, pink, purple, orange, water red, plain white everything, patchy or blooming or budding, each chrysanthemum is small and exquisite and vivid. And among the layers of chrysanthemum forest, there is a gray rockery, beside the rockery, there is a delicate pavilion. In the pavilion is placed a table and chairs, on which there are a teapot and four tea cups. , And on both sides of the pavilion are decorated with two magnolia blossom branches. The pavilion is covered by delicate and delicate chrysanthemums, which is looming, giving everyone a sense of mystery.
It was just a few common melons, fruits and vegetables, but in Yun Xiao's hands, they became a courtyard of chrysanthemum forest in just half an hour.
All those who saw this scene couldn't help but brighten up, never expected such a godlike change in the banquet hall.
The eldest princess’s eyes lit up, so exquisite and ingenious, I am afraid that the cook in the princess’s mansion may not have done it, but now all this happened to a 13-year-old girl, she couldn’t help but exclaimed,
So superb. Great knife craftsmanship! This ingenuity is no one can match, it can be regarded as the four words of skillful craftsmanship!"
When Lu heard these words, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a faint smile. With the praise of the princess, his daughter's reputation would definitely be much better.
Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, and her expression was calm. "The princess praised her highly, but the daughter of the people is not ashamed. Today is the birthday of the head of Huining.
The corner of the Huining County Master's mouth raised slightly, and his eyebrows were grinning, but there was a hint of coldness in the depths of his eyes, "There is nothing I dare not take, I will accept this chrysanthemum carving, come here, reward!"
When the words were over, the mother gave a set of exquisite carving tools and walked respectfully. Yun Xiao's eyes were dark, but there was more joy on her face, "Thank you for the reward from the county lord Huining. This statue should not be shaken, cousin With meticulous thoughts, let the cousin and the maiden give it to the head of Huining County."
The head of Huining County smiled faintly, and his gaze fell on Lan Shuya who was wearing a blue dress, "Alright."
After Lan Shuya danced, she enjoyed the envy of everyone, and she was always annoyed that she had missed a good opportunity to get along with the third prince a few days ago. Now it is good to be able to show more of the limelight. There were two princes at this banquet, and Lan Shuya was secretly delighted. This was a perfect opportunity for herself to cling to the royal family.
However, Lan Shuya looked at Yun Xiao with a touch of hatred. The dress on her body should have been worn on her body. If she wore that dress to dance, she would be amazing. Four seats attracted the attention of the two princes.
And all this that I had calculated was ruined by Yun Xiao!
Lan Shuya's moist eyes looked at Yun Xiaoqian's smiling face, her hands on her side were tightly clasped together, and Dankou's fingers were embedded in her palms, sending bursts of tingling pain.
She didn't expect that Yun Xiao, who was worthless, would be praised by the princess! And what I just attracted the attention of some noble sons, this seems to be saying that I am not as good as Yun Xiao!
Lianbu moved lightly, Lan Shuya suppressed the anger in her heart and walked up to Yun Xiao, "Cousin."
Yun Xiao smiled lightly, but he put Lan Shuya's long-tolerant look in his own eyes, "Cousin, you have always been delicate in mind. This sculpture is exquisite and small and can't tolerate shaking. Our sisters have always had the same intentions. The goods were presented to the head of Huining County."
Lan Shuya's complexion was reddish, and the corners of her mouth chuckled, "My cousin said, "As long as you present this thing in front of the head of Huining County, you will have your own credit. There is no reason why Lan Shuya should not do something like this.
Yun Xiao and Lan Shuya lifted the large tray, stepped forward slowly, crossed the case table and walked to the red carpet in the banquet hall, followed by two mothers.
Yun Xiao's gaze fell on Lan Shuya on the opposite side, and he saw Lan Shuya getting closer and closer to Zhou Jingyan's body, and coughed slightly, "Cousin, you can stay a little bit, you can't The contents of this tray are ruined."
Lan Shuya was originally looking at Zhou Jingyan, but Yun Xiao's mind was broken by the eyes of everyone. She only felt that her complexion was even more ugly. When she turned her head, she saw a touch of indifference and sarcasm in Yun Xiao's eyes.
I was stunned, did this useless cousin realize that she was not thinking about it?
How could Yun Xiao know that his thoughts were so deep?
Lan Shuya was finally relieved. If Yun Xiao knew what she was thinking, where would she let herself be in the limelight with her?
Just when this thought fell, I felt that my skirt was tight, and I couldn't help but fell in Yun Xiao's direction as my mind wandered.
With Lan Shuya's move, the sculpture in the tray could no longer be stable, trembling crookedly in the air, and clusters of chrysanthemums on the edge fell down.
Lan Shuya's complexion changed slightly. This sculpture was to be given to the head of Huining County, but now because it was destroyed by herself, she stretched out a hand and eagerly picked up the fallen chrysanthemum.
Just catching the falling chrysanthemum, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief. He was anxious for a moment, and his feet were unstable. His body turned straight in the direction of Yun Xiao, and the tray in his hand could no longer be held to one side.
At the other end, Yun Xiao was still stunned. The tray was tilted, and the vivid chrysanthemums and pavilions on it fell down. Before Yun Xiao could react, Lan Shuya's body was already straight. Smashed in his own direction.
Looking at this scene, Yun Xiao finally reacted, "Ah..." exclaimed, but just halfway through the call, Lan Shuya was pressed under her body and turned into a muffled grunt.
This scene happened so quickly that the two mothers behind them had no time to save them, so they watched Yun Xiao and Lan Shuya fall in front of them.
