Next, they began to learn how to use utensils gracefully. Yun Che carefully held the chopsticks, trying not to appear clumsy.
"Like this, gently, don't be impatient," Grandma Lan instructed from the side.
Cuiyu on the side pouted discontentedly. She was quite confident in her own performance, saying, "What's so difficult about this? Watch how perfectly I can do it."
However, when she tried to demonstrate, she accidentally broke a chopstick, which resulted in some light laughter.
"Confidence is a good thing, but too much can turn into arrogance," Grandma Lan gently reminded.
Lian Yin delicately picked up a piece of tofu with her chopsticks, her movements smooth and natural, showing her past training in this area.
She smiled, seemingly implying her superiority. Grandma Lan nodded in approval but also reminded, " Lian Yin, your performance is good, but remember not to show off too much."
Next, Wan Rou tried. Her hands trembled slightly, showing her nervousness. She carefully picked up a piece of vegetable, but applied too much force, causing the vegetable to be crushed.
She lowered her head, showing a embarrassed expression on her face. Grandma Lan comforted her, "Wan Rou, relax a little, don't be too nervous."
On the other hand, Red Plum Blossoms showed her decisiveness and confidence. She generously used chopsticks, although her movements were not as delicate as others, her natural and confident demeanor won the admiration of everyone present.
Grandma Lan smiled and said, "Red plum blossoms, your confidence is your strength, but you also need to learn to find a balance between elegance and naturalness."
Lan Qing demonstrated her agility as she gracefully used chopsticks, showcasing her quick-wittedness and intelligence.
She completed the task with ease and demonstrated her wit and quick reflexes during the process. Grandma Lan praised, "Lan Qing, your quick thinking and adaptability are excellent."
Chuan Yun may not be as stunning as other candidates, but her actions have a rare sincerity and naturalness.
When it was her turn to showcase, although Chuan Yun's movements were not very skilled, every time she picked up the food, it was done with great care. Her eyes were full of concentration and seriousness, and even the simplest actions seemed particularly sincere and diligent.
As Grandma Lan watched Chuan Yun's performance, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes: " Chuan Yun, you may lack some skills, but every one of your actions reveals a pure and sincere heart. This is very rare."
Chuan Yun Upon hearing this, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she answered softly, "Thank you, Grandma Lan, I will continue to work hard."
Finally, it was Bai Chu, and her movements appeared even more cautious and meticulous. She carefully used chopsticks, and every movement seemed very precise.
Her performance demonstrates her knowledge and thoughtful character. Grandma Lan nodded in satisfaction, " Bai Chu, every one of your actions is filled with thoughtfulness and caution, which is your strength."
This series of tests not only tests the skills of each candidate, but also tests their character and inner qualities.
Each candidate has their own unique style and strengths, while also having areas that need improvement.
The afternoon is dedicated to the study of poetry and literature. Under Grandma Lan's guidance, each selected girl needs to memorize and appreciate a classical poem.
Sunlight shines in from the window, warming the entire classroom and illuminating their faces.
First up is Bai Chu, who chose a poem by Su Shi called "Song of the River City." Her voice is beautiful, and she breathes new life into every line of the poem.
Through her interpretation, the poem becomes not just words, but also a series of deeply moving scenes.
" Bai Chu is truly knowledgeable and well-versed," Lan Qing praised in a low voice. "Although we have all studied these poems, it is indeed rare to see someone with such a deep understanding like her."
Next, it was Red plum blossoms's performance. She chose a poem by Li Bai called "Bringing in the Wine," and her voice carried a sense of boldness and freedom. Her interpretation, in contrast to Bai Chu's elegance, showcased another kind of charm in poetry.
However, when it was Cuiyu's turn, the atmosphere became slightly tense. She chose "Quiet Night Thoughts," but when reciting, her voice seemed somewhat stiff and lacked emotion.
Lian Yin chose "The Song of the Goddess," her voice was gentle, but her expression seemed a bit too affected, making it feel somewhat unnatural.
Yun Che chose "Autumn Evening in the Mountains," her voice was calm and deep, expressing the artistic conception of the poem to the fullest. Her interpretation, though not as erudite as Bai Chu, had its own unique style.
Wan Rou chose "Crossing the Han River," her voice was gentle and emotional, but during recitation, she seemed somewhat lacking in confidence, occasionally glancing down at the poetry collection in her hand.
Lan Qing chose "Night Rain Sent to the North," her expression was clear and fluent, with a hint of melancholy. Her eyes wandered through the poetry, as if truly immersed in a stormy night, leading the audience into a distant story.
Chuan Yun chose "Green Jade Vase," her voice was pure and gentle, like a spring breeze brushing over the lake, calm with a touch of moving ripples. Her expression was natural and unaffected, showing her purity and Kindness.
Finally, it was Yun Che's turn. She chose "Chang Hen Ge" and as she recited, her voice was deep and full of emotion, perfectly conveying the sorrow and deep affection in the poem. Her eyes shimmered with a profound understanding of the story, moving everyone present.
After listening, Grandma Lan nodded and smiled, saying, "Everyone performed well, each with their own unique style. But remember, poetry is not just the art of language, but also the expression of the soul. Your emotions and understanding are equally important."
At night, the test became even more peculiar. Grandma Lan deliberately placed a kidney bean under each person's mattress. "This is to test the girls' delicacy and perception. A truly sensitive and delicate woman can even feel this slight discomfort in her dreams."
As a fairy, Yun Che lay on the bed, and the small beans under the mattress naturally did not escape her perception.
She frowned slightly. This was indeed a peculiar test.
It's late at night, but other corners of the palace are not very quiet. Lian Yin and Cuiyu are quietly discussing in their own rooms.
"That Yun Che is really too affected," Lian Yin said discontentedly. "Who does she think she is?"
"Yes, I don't like her either," Cuiyu agreed. "We need to find a way to make her look bad."
The two conspired on how to set up Yun Che in tomorrow's test.
As night falls, the atmosphere in the palace becomes quiet and mysterious.
In the room of each crown princess candidate, Grandma Lan's peculiar test officially begins.
Chuan Yun Lying on her soft bed, she felt the presence of the pea under the mattress.
Her heart was filled with confusion, not understanding why such a small thing would be part of the test. But she still tried to focus her mind, to feel the slight discomfort brought by the pea.
Cuiyu tossed and turned in bed, her heart filled with dissatisfaction. She couldn't understand why such seemingly insignificant details had to be included in such an important test.
She tried to ignore the presence of that bean, but unconsciously, her sleep quality was affected.
Lian Yin dramatically expressed her dissatisfaction. She sat up and complained to the empty room, "What kind of absurd test is this? How does it help us to be the crown princess?" Her mood was clearly affected, causing her to have a restless night.
Wan Rou lay on the bed, feeling uneasy. She was confused about the test and didn't know what to do.
She gently shifted her body, trying to find a comfortable position, but the kidney bean seemed to constantly remind her that she was being tested.
Red plum blossoms displayed her usual perseverance. She lay resolutely in bed, trying to ignore the discomfort brought by the kidney bean. Her mindset was strong, unwilling to let it affect her performance even though she felt uncomfortable.
Lan Qing approached this test with curiosity. She tried to feel the bean and contemplate its deeper meaning. Her thinking was flexible, and even in this environment, she remained clear-headed and rational.
As for Bai Chu, her attitude appeared more profound and cautious. She lay quietly on the bed, feeling the slight pressure from the bean. Her thinking was deep, even beginning to consider the significance of this test for cultivation and inner meaning.
As the night deepens and the people quiet down, each selected concubine copes with this special test in her own way.
For them, this is not just a test of perception, but also a profound embodiment of everyone's character and inner qualities.
