Chapter 182 Royal Annual Banquet (8)

After receiving the order, the palace servant came straight to Luo Lan, lifted the rice paper on the table in front of her, and then displayed it in front of everyone.

When everyone saw the words she wrote, they began to discuss them. Some of them asked in surprise:

"This...what font is this? This word...this looks very strange."

"This... this word is not surprising. It looks square, but it is very clear."

"Yes, it's not only clear, but also clear at a glance. It's the first time I've seen such words."

The discussions of the people all fell into the ears of the people present, and the emperor also looked at her with surprise and questioned with doubts:

"Princess Yu, please explain it. What are you writing? What font is this?"

Luo Lan thought helplessly in her heart that these ancient people had long expected that they had never seen Zheng Kai. Now it seems that this is true.

She lifted her skirt and stood up, slowly walked to the crowd, looked at the words she had just written, and slowly spoke:

"If you want to go back to the emperor, the font of my character is regular script. This character is horizontal and vertical, so that people can intuitively see the number, form and writing of each character. Moreover, the size of the font must be consistent, up and down, flush in front and back, and balanced left and right. If you look closely, you will find that the line-style characters written by King Zhennan evolved from such regular script fonts. Therefore, the regular script characters I wrote can be said to be of these line-style characters, grandfather's grandfather... can also be called the ancestor."

"Hahaha……"

Her words made everyone laugh, Leng Zi'an's face suddenly turned pale, he suddenly snorted coldly and roared:

"Is Princess Yu scolding me? It's really outrageous."

Seeing this, Luo Lan quickly blinked her eyes cunningly and explained:

"I mean, all fonts evolved from regular script. If you look closely, is the word "Wen in the new" written by the emperor, who reviews the old and learns the new, the same word "Wen in jade" written by the emperor, just like the word "Wen in jade"? It's just a little sloppy and the other is neat."

After hearing what she said, everyone looked at the two words carefully. After identifying them, they found that the two words were exactly the same, but Luo Lan wrote them more clearly and easily recognizable.

At this time, Liu Dechang, who had been observing these two characters carefully, nodded and praised:

"Well, these square characters look more generous. People who can write the characters so well are really extraordinary. The emperor, the minister, thinks that such characters should be learned by the children in the academy, because they are both easy to learn, recognize and remember."

As soon as he said this, Huang Shixiong, Yu Shiming and several ministers also followed suit.

"Yes, it would be a great blessing for all the children in Daning Country to learn to write such Zhouzheng."

On the other hand, Leng Zian's face was gloomy, the Wu father and son looked bad, and the emperor was a little embarrassed. It was really hard to make a decision for whoever wins and loses in this competition.

After pondering for a while, the emperor spoke with a serious expression:

"The words "Zhennan King and Princess Yu" have their own advantages and are unmatched in Daning Country, so this competition will be tied!"

After hearing this, Feng Zian was dissatisfied with it, but he knew that he could not say anything else. After all, the words written by Princess Yu really made people feel clear and refreshing when he saw it. He knew that it would be useless to continue to quibbling, so he had to give up.

The emperor looked at Yu Shiming again and ordered him:

"Sir Yu, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites appreciate the...the regular font of Princess Yu to see if it can be implemented in the school in the capital. If it is feasible, let Princess Yu produce a complete font manual so that the children in the school can learn."

Yu Shiming hurriedly clasped his fists and replied:

"I received the order."

In three consecutive games, Luo Lan won two games and tied one game. If this competition continues, it seems that there is no meaning.

Everyone sighed and felt incredible about what happened today.

The emperor glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Wu Hong, and he slowly spoke:

"Princess Yu won the game between piano and chess, and the draw was drawn in writing. Is there anyone who wants to compare calligraphy and painting?"

Wu Hong's eyes sank and his brows were also frowning. Seeing this, Wu Yuanzhang clasped his fists and raised his hand and said:

"Of course, I have to compare with Wang Yuanzheng, the number one painter in the capital, I wonder if Princess Yu is willing to compete with him?"

Hearing this, Leng Xi, who was sitting next to Wu Yuanzhang, frowned in displeasure and said in a voice of hatred:

"Is Master Wu coming prepared? But I think this is really unfair. No one knows the name of Wang Yuanzheng, the number one painter in the capital. Do you want the emperor's sister-in-law to compare with him? This is too bullying!"

Yan Luo, he looked at the emperor, then clasped his fists and saluted:

"Father, the emperor, four games, the emperor's sister-in-law won two games and tied one game. This has decided the winner and lose. If you continue to compete, it will be meaningless."

After hearing Leng Xi say this, Leng Yu's brows were locked. He looked at Luo Lan with affectionate eyes, his face was neither surprised nor happy, and as calm as water.

He suddenly felt that his wife could do everything, just like a fairy who came down to earth that day. Something unexpected happened to her might happen to her. He even believed that even if his wife competed with the number one painter in the capital, she would definitely win.

The emperor's eyes sank, turned to look at Luo Lan, and asked in a deep voice:

"Princess Yu, do you still want to compete? Now that you have won, if you don't compete, others will have nothing to say."

Luo Lan didn't expect that the emperor would speak for her in front of so many people. Although her face was as calm as water, she felt a little moved in her heart.

She glanced at Leng Yu, and in his eyes, she saw his trust in him. She chuckled at him, and then owed to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Luo Lan doesn't know much about calligraphy and painting. How dare she compare with the first painter in the capital?"

"How can that work?"

Seeing this, Wu Hong looked at her without hesitation.

"Since you have a comparison, you have to have a beginning and a finale. If Princess Yu can still win in calligraphy and painting, then the title of the number one talented woman in Daning Country is well deserved..."

The meaning in his words was obvious. Even if Luo Lan was powerful, she would never win the No. 1 painter in the capital.

But Luo Lan really had no intention of being the number one talented woman in Daning Country. She just wanted to be her Princess Yu safely. She couldn't do such a thing as forced to show off.

So she whispered:

"Luo Lan was originally a commoner, and it was surprising that she could come to Prince Yu. Luo Lan really dared not be the title of the number one talented woman in Daning Country. Thank you General Wu for your praise. In this game, I just think that Luo Lan lost!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Hong snorted coldly with her nose, stared at her eyes and muttered,
Chapter completed!
