The first activity is needle threading, threading colorful threads through the nose of the needle, whoever is faster wins.
There is no need to teach this, Su Mu’s needlework is pretty good, and Lu Qingtang can’t help.
Soon, a dozen of the dozens of girls present were eliminated, and the remaining thirty people, including Su Mu, could participate in the next round of activities.
The second activity is to test your skill by throwing a needle.
The night before yesterday, Lu Qingtang asked Su Mu to prepare a bowl of "Yuanyang water" in advance. The so-called Yuanyang water is a mixture of day and night water. After being exposed to the sun for a day, a film will form on the surface of the water.
Just take out a needle and put it on the water surface so that it floats on the water, and throw it into the bowl of the shadow. The straight one loses and the crooked one wins.
This is a bit difficult. If you don't pay attention, you will drop the needle into the bottom of the bowl.
Su Mu was a little nervous and didn't dare to throw the needle even after holding it for a long time.
Standing next to Su Mu was a noble girl from an unknown family. Seeing Su Mu's timid look, she couldn't help laughing.
"I really don't know what kind of people can participate in the palace's begging festival. It's really funny!"
She was dressed in luxurious clothes, and the sumac was a bit shabby against the backdrop. She held a golden needle in one hand, as proud as a peacock.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help laughing even through the curtain, "You didn't throw a needle, didn't you? What qualifications do you have to laugh at others!"
"I said so, of course I can win. Unlike some people, who are as timid as a needle nose." The noble girl rolled her eyes, "I have practiced countless times at home, and every time I am bent. , you take a good look!"
As she spoke, she gently placed the needle in her hand on the water in the bowl, and saw that the golden needle was indeed floating on the water.
The noble girl crossed her arms and looked arrogant, "Did you see, I have everything at my fingertips. If you can't see it, just take off the curtain hat. How ugly you must be, and your face is covered!"
Lu Qingtang glanced at the needle on the water again, but saw that the water surface was shaking, the needle floated to the middle again, and the shadow cast on the bottom of the bowl became straight.
"Yo yo yo, this skill is really flattering to your parents!" Lu Qingtang folded his arms this time, "Su Mu, show her what real skills are."
Su Mu smiled shyly, put the needle in his hand on the water, and followed Lu Qingtang's instructions, placing the needle as close to the bowl as possible.
Sure enough, the needle cast a curved shadow on the bottom of the bowl.
The noble lady on the side flattened her mouth and snorted coldly: "What's so great about it, isn't it just a festival for begging for cleverness? At worst, we can come back next year."
"I can't come." Lu Qingtang sat on the chair behind him and raised his eyes to look at her, "If you don't come tomorrow, you won't have to enter the palace in this life."
The lady looked puzzled and looked her up and down, "Who are you? Why do you say that? What qualifications do you have to give orders here!"
It's just that she lost an event. It's not like she has never lost before. So she won't even be allowed into the palace?
A man wearing a curtain hat dared to give her orders, what the hell!
At this time, Aunt Gao came over and looked at the noble girl with a smile on her face, "This is Princess Chen, don't you need me to explain more? Do you dare to ask Princess Chen if she has this qualification?"
After hearing what Grandma Gao said, the noble girl couldn't help but step back several steps. If she hadn't been holding on to the table, she might have fallen down.
She should have thought of it a long time ago.
The current concubine of King Chen, Lu Qingtang, is ugly and always wears a curtain hat when going out.
Lu Qingtang was the only one who could go in and out of the palace and still wear a hat. Why didn't she expect that?
With a "plop", the noble lady knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Lu Qingtang and begged for mercy, "I have blind eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. I beg Princess Chen to spare me. I have realized my mistake!"
Not allowing her to enter the palace means that she will never have the opportunity to contact the palace nobles again in her life.
Lu Qingtang said nothing and turned his face away.
"Come here, please get this young lady out. She is not allowed to step into the palace gate again!"
Aunt Gao glanced at her coldly, waved her hand, and the two palace ladies came up and dragged the noble girl out of the Tsinghua University gate.
When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't dare to underestimate the people around them, who might be some big shot.
"Princess Chen, all this mess has been cleared away. You can continue playing." Aunt Gao bowed slightly to Lu Qingtang and then stepped back.
At this time, the third activity started, celebrating the cow's birthday.
It's just to decorate the cow skull with flowers and see who looks better. However, when it comes to aesthetics, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
There are only about ten people left now. They are just looking for a coincidence. The champion has already been decided. Su Mu and others are just a foil.
Seeing Su Mu arranging flowers seriously, Lu Qingtang was distracted.
If Grandma Gao is here, then the Queen must be here too. Doesn't it mean that the Queen is not feeling well? Why is she here again?
After celebrating the cow’s birthday, it’s time to give birth to a child.
The mung bean sprouts that sprouted a few days ago are wrapped and knotted with blue and red colored ropes to pray for a good sign of fertility and fertility.
The last one is eating Qiqiao fruit, which is also Sumu's specialty.
Make the fruit first, then put it in a pan and fry it. When it's done, pour the osmanthus honey on it. It's delicious and fun.
This is what Lu Qingtang is looking forward to the most. After it is over, he can go to the palace to watch a show.
Just after everyone thought it was over, they were told that the happy spider should be a coincidence had been temporarily added.
Because the Queen is afraid of bugs, this item has not appeared for several years. Why was it added temporarily this year?
Under the blank eyes of everyone, the palace people put the fruits on the table.
To like spiders to make clever tricks is to let spiders climb up the fruit and build spider webs on the fruits. Whoever builds a dense web will get more tricks.
If a spider crawls on you, you will be even more happy.
In ancient times, spiders represented good luck.
But since the queen is also present, why should this link be added temporarily?
It's really puzzling.
In order to let Sumu get more "skills", Lu Qingtang used the fruits in the fruit plate to build a bridge so that the spider could build its web better.
After placing the fruits, Lu Qingtang sat aside and chatted with Su Mu.
At this time, the Queen was also chatting with Concubine Ning.
The two of them discussed the beauty of the noble ladies, lamented how wonderful it was to be young, and had a great time chatting with each other.
"Queen, why don't we go down and have a look." Concubine Ning spoke first.
The Queen was a little hesitant at first after hearing this. Thinking of the words that were passed into Chongning Palace, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
What does it mean that everyone in the harem is named Ning?
Her queen is just sick, not dead.
Because of her poor health, Concubine Ning is now in charge of the harem, so the queen is inevitably feeling a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, during this year's Qiao Qiao Festival, the queen flew down here to let everyone remember that she is still the queen in this harem.
Even if Concubine Ning is in charge of the Sixth Palace, even if she organizes this begging festival, she is still just a concubine.
