Chapter 2 Talent Show
Last night, there was a night of wind and snow, and the next day suddenly came suddenly, maybe even Tiangong couldn't bear to be too embarrassed by some beautiful show girls.
Mo Chenghuan went to bed early and got up early, and when he woke up and didn't see Jinsu, he couldn't help but be a little worried, got up and put on a coat and walked out of the door, and happened to meet the little eunuchs who were diligently clearing the snow.
When the little eunuchs saw Mo Chenghuan, they hurriedly saluted, and continued to do the work at hand.
Jin Su looked up and saw Mo Chenghuan, his face immediately changed, and he stepped forward quickly: "Miaoren, why did you come out, it's cold outside, come into the house!"
"I got up early, and I was stuffy in the house, so I came out to breathe. Mo Chenghuan said softly.
"Then you have to go into the house and wear some thick clothes when you come out, if you dress like this, it won't be good if you catch a cold!" Jin Su was not comfortable because of Mo Chenghuan's words, and tried his best to ask Mo Chenghuan to enter the house.
Mo Chenghuan couldn't screw her, so he entered the house, washed up under Jinsu's service, and dressed well.
"I don't know if the master got up so early today, and he hasn't had time to prepare breakfast, and now that the master is here, then I can also ask, I don't know what the master eats in the morning?"
"I've never been very particular, just order a side dish of porridge. Mo Chenghuan thought about it carefully and found that in the past ten years, she has never cared about what she likes to eat, and she usually eats whatever Ning Xiang prepares.
"Poof," Jin Su heard and laughed out loud.
"What, what's wrong?" Otherwise, Jin Su would have laughed like this.
"The slave knows that she is wrong," Jin Su knew that it was wrong, and immediately silenced.
"You know what's wrong, you didn't make a mistake, I'm just asking you what's wrong. Mo Chenghuan frowned, she liked this kind of atmosphere that became serious at every turn.
"The slave maid thinks that your habits are not quite in line with your previous status. Jin Su saw that Mo Chenghuan was about to get angry, and hurriedly said what he thought in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Mo Chenghuan was the first time someone had said this about himself.
"What is the identity of the master before, he is still the lord of the county, the only daughter of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses to protect the king, and I think it is also pampered and picky, but I don't want to be so unsophisticated. Jin Su told the truth, and when he saw that Mo Chenghuan was not annoyed, he became bolder.
"Really, what do other people look like?" Mo Chenghuan knew a lot of women, and she hadn't seen them in every way, so her curiosity began to haunt her again.
Jin Su put down the work in his hand, trotted in front of Mo Chenghuan, crossed his hands on his waist, cleared his throat with a dry cough, lowered his head and said to Mo Chenghuan cautiously: "This is my learning from Bian Miaoren, when I went to fetch water, I met the masters who were about to go to Fengyutang." ”
"What are you doing as a slave?!You can't even prepare breakfast!I haven't picked out my clothes yet, so you urge and urge, be careful that I let Qingyu send you all to the Huanyi Bureau!" Jin Su pointed his throat, pinched his orchid fingers, stared at his round eyes, learned to pretend to be, and pointed to the corner next to him and reprimanded.
Mo Chenghuan laughed when he heard half of it, first covered his mouth and laughed, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"It's funny, before I met my master, the slave thought that people with such dignity as the master were like this, so I had to be cautious. Jin Su finally defended himself.
Mo Chenghuan's pursed lips curved into a pleasant arc, and he said to Jin Su with relief: "I didn't know that I could still be that kind of person, although I was cautious, I was not picky." ”
"So, maybe Qiu Miao is a good master," In Mo Chenghuan's heart, among the eleven show girls, I am afraid that only this Qiu Shengxi can be called an opponent, and what makes her remember the most is Qiu Shengxi, that quiet and peaceful face.
Yesterday, when Qingyu and Lin Miao were punishing Miaoren and Gong'e, the faces of the eleven Miaoren present, including herself, changed somewhat, only this Qiu Shengxi, from beginning to end, did not move through the wind and rain, such a person was either Chengfu Shen had anticipated everything a long time ago, or he was born indifferent to everything that had nothing to do with him, to put it bluntly, he was a ruthless person with a cold heart and a cold heart, whether Qiu Shengxi belonged to the former or the latter, it was extremely terrifying.
"Whatever, anyway, in Jin Su's eyes, our Miao Ren is the best master, the master is hungry, Jin Su will go to pass you food, the master likes to drink milk in the morning, the dining room has entered a batch of dried milk in the past few days, melted with water and added some sugar, it tastes great!" Jin Su's face was full of anticipation, and it seemed that she wanted her to choose this, Mo Chenghuan didn't refuse, anyway, she had also drunk the dried milk, and she felt that it was okay, so she nodded.
Jin Su was overjoyed, and happily pulled his feet and ran out.
After a simple breakfast, Mo Chenghuan took Jin Su out of the door, and when he saw that it was still early, he took a walk to familiarize himself with the environment.
This Jinbi City is divided into six courtyards, nine halls, and eighteen palaces, these eighteen palaces are divided into outer nine palaces and inner nine palaces, and the outer nine palaces are in the outermost periphery of Jinbi City, which are the Butterfly Dance Palace, Sega Palace, Chuanling Palace, Zhijing Palace, Qingzong Palace, Lusui Palace, Yuqi Palace, Fuhua Palace and Yunyao Palace, and they live in this Butterfly Dance Palace.
This Butterfly Dance Palace is also called the Rookie Palace, just because of this new entrant, whether it is a show girl or a slave, will be arranged in this Butterfly Dance Palace.
It can be said that this butterfly dance palace is a rookie training palace, up to the main palace lady, down to the musicians, dancers, minions, show girls, all have to be trained here, in order to get out of this butterfly dance palace, to the city everywhere to show their ambitions.
And this Fengyutang is the place where the musicians and dancers who manage the newcomers entering the palace, and they want to gather in this place, presumably because of the Lixue banquet a month later.
Every batch of show girls entering the palace, a month later will arrange a banquet for the emperor to inspect the talent of the show girls, on this day the show girls will take turns to perform at the banquet, to do their best to show their talents, and do their best to let the emperor notice themselves.
This is the only way to make the emperor happy as soon as possible, and it is also a good opportunity to soar into the sky, but if you miss this opportunity and want to see the emperor again, you don't know what year and month you will have to wait.
Mo Chenghuan walked around for a while and then turned back, she was afraid that if she waited for a while, she would be busy again, so she didn't dare to waste her strength.
Entering Fengyutang, I saw a lot of dancers, musicians were practicing diligently, and when I looked around, I found that Qiu Shengxi had been watching in the corner for a long time, Mo Chenghuan thought that he had come early, but he never expected that there would be someone who came earlier than her.
Mo Chenghuan hesitated for a moment, and asked whether to go over to talk, but after thinking about it, this Qiu Shengxi was the person who was arranged by the Sima family, and he was a mortal enemy after all, so if he went over to talk, would the other party think that he was plotting against him?
Thinking about it again, this hesitation is not like his own style at all, not to mention that the situation is undecided now, and it is not good to divide the relationship between friend and foe so clearly too early.
So Mo Chenghuan smiled kindly and walked over to Qiu Shengxi: "Qiu Miaoren is so early." ”
"Didn't Mo Miaoren arrive early? Qiu Shengxi looked at the graceful dancing of the dancers intently, and responded indifferently.
Mo Chenghuan paused for a moment, this Qiu Shengxi was also a little too indifferent, I don't know if she would be like this in front of the emperor, is there something wrong with the people of the Sima family, is it really a helper to send such a person into the palace?
"Wonderful people came earlier than me. "Looking at Qiu Shengxi, she doesn't look like someone who cares about the Lixue Banquet, or will she be wrong?
Qiu Shengxi didn't answer, and Mo Chenghuan was no longer bored, the two stood side by side, watching the diligent dancer silent for a long time.
"Mo Miaoren, what else is there besides freedom among the things you sacrificed in order to enter the palace?" After a long time, Qiu Shengxi's eyes moved away from the dancer, glanced at Mo Chenghuan, and said with a little sadness.
Mo Chenghuan looked at Qiu Shengxi as if she was about to speak, but subconsciously told her to be cautious, so she swallowed the words she was going to open her throat, glanced around, and found that Qiu Shengxi's personal Gong'e and Jinsu had disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Qiu Shengxi: "Love, what about you?"
"Dreams," Qiu Shengxi replied without hesitation, and his tone contained infinite melancholy.
"Can you ask about the dreams of wonderful people?" After only two sentences of communication, Mo Chenghuan found that this Qiu Shengxi was actually not so terrible, she may just be forced to accept such a fate.
Choo Sung-hee fell into silence again, and looked at the dancers in a daze.
Mo Chenghuan understood something, stopped talking and looked at those dancers with Qiu Shengxi.
"Master," after a while, Jin Su returned to Mo Chenghuan's side, with an extra set of dance clothes in his hand.
"I'm back," Mo Chenghuan glanced at the dance clothes on Jin Su's hand and understood where Jin Su went.
"When the servants went to get their dance clothes, the dancers there said to let the wonderful people change their clothes first, and Du Xinggong would arrive soon. ”
"Lead the way. "This Du Xingguan wants to be famous for his seriousness, and try not to let her wait when they meet for the first time, and leave a good impression on her, otherwise I am afraid that I will feel better this month.
When Mo Chenghuan came out after changing his clothes, all the wonderful people had already arrived, and they were leading their dance clothes to the dressing room.
Mo Chenghuan and Qiu Shengxi came to the front of the hall, the dancers had retreated, and only a woman in a dance costume stood in the center of the stage, and her momentum was unstoppable.
"This is Du Xinggong. Jin Su reminded softly in Mo Chenghuan's ear.
Mo Chenghuan and Qiu Shengxi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Du Xinggong is good." ”
"Two wonderful people don't have to be polite. Du Qingfu nodded at Mo Chenghuan with satisfaction.
At that time, all the wonderful people also changed their clothes and walked out of the dance hall, talking and laughing all the way, the huge dance hall echoed with laughter, inevitably a little noisy, Du Qingfu frowned and said: "I am very pleased that you wonderful people can gather on time, now please be quiet for a while, and introduce yourself." ”
"Everyone knows each other well, so there's no need to introduce yourself!" Bian Yiyan was straightforward, and he only felt embarrassed in his heart, and wanted to skip this step.
"You wonderful people have known each other, but I still don't recognize you wonderful people, otherwise let's start with you!" Du Qingfu has been rolling in Jinbi City for so many years, and the most unseen thing is that these self-righteous newcomers always habitually bring the temper of those eldest ladies outside the palace to kilometers, so that she can't help but want to frustrate their spirits.
"I ...... Yes," Bian Yiyan was full of chatter in her heart, but she didn't dare to disobey.
"My name is Bian Yiyan, and I am seventeen this year. Bian Yiyan said casually and wanted to deal with the past.
"What else are you good at!" Du Qingfu added.
"Yes. Du Qingfu nodded expressionlessly.
"The secret technique in the room ......" Bian Yiyan lowered his head and blushed, and whispered.
"What?!" Du Qingfu didn't expect Bian Yiyan to say this kind of answer, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.
"Secret skills in the room. Bian Yiyan's face turned purple and he shouted these four words loudly.
Du Qingfu's face immediately darkened, and everyone who heard Bian Yiyan's answer laughed.
"Qiu Miaoren, what are you good at?" Du Qingfu turned his head and asked Qiu Shengxi.
"Dance. Qiu Shengxi replied softly with a rare smile on his face.
"Look at it, I'm asking this, who asked you such a private question, I'm asking about talent! Talent! I want to fully understand what kind of talent you are good at, so that I can help you choose a program for the Lixue Banquet! Otherwise, what will you do to make a splash at the Lixue Banquet? Is it possible that you still want to perform in front of all the concubines and the emperor in this room?" This question has been asked for many years, and it is the first time I have met someone who has misinterpreted her meaning to this extent.
After listening to Du Qingfu's words, the laughter of the wonderful people couldn't be stopped, only those dancers and palace ladies had to laugh secretly in a low voice, and they didn't dare to make a syllable when they held back their internal injuries.
"Why didn't you say it earlier" Bian Yiyan was annoyed and angry, and became angry at Du Qingfu.
"That's what I mean, it's just that you've been misunderstanding me. Du Qingfu didn't care very much, as far as she was concerned, there was no need for some anger to attack on the spot, and there was still a month to go, and she had time to double it.
Bian Yiyan was blocked by Du Qingfu's words, and he didn't dare to speak more, for fear of making jokes.
"Don't you have anything else to do besides this?" Du Qingfu suddenly wanted to hear Bian Yiyan say no, in that case, she could practice this Bian Yiyan in a targeted manner.
Bian Yiyan shook his head helplessly, Du Qingfu's heart suddenly blossomed, and he cleared his throat: "The next wonderful person." ”
Bian Yiyan was at the end of the line, thinking that she could avoid Du Qingfu's attention, but she didn't take her uncertain factor into account, so she started with her.
After Bian Yiyan, several wonderful people saw that Bian Yiyan suffered a loss, so they honestly reported some specialties, nothing more than repeating a few kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Qiu Shengxi reported that it was naturally a dance, but as soon as he arrived at Mo Chenghuan, it changed.
"Mo Miaoren really has no other specialties?" Du Qingfu was still quite satisfied with Mo Chenghuan, but the specialties reported by Mo Chenghuan were too unpleasant.
"My father is a person who practices martial arts, my mother died when I was a child, and my father has always brought me up, and my father can only teach me some dancing knives and guns, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. "It's not that Mo Chenghuan really doesn't understand anything, it's just that she can't be too outstanding yet.
"This is difficult, these are what the emperor doesn't like the most, why don't I make arrangements for you?" Mo Chenghuan is beautiful enough, and secondly, he has a lot of backing in the background, he should have taken this opportunity to attack the emperor's heart in one fell swoop, otherwise the purpose of entering the palace will soon be in vain?
Du Xinggong wanted to hand over a graceful dance to Mo Chenghuan, but the movements were too complicated, and I don't know if Mo Chenghuan, who has no dancing skills, can learn it.
"Du Xinggong, this person who has never learned dance, wants to learn and learn a dance in a short time, it is not so simple. The sharp-eyed Zheng Linglan immediately saw the difference between Du Qingfu and Mo Chenghuan, and hurriedly spoke, for fear that Mo Chenghuan would agree.
"This ......" Du Qingfu's face was slightly ugly.
"Zheng Miaoren is right, the emperor's taste has always been difficult to guess, I didn't like these in the past, I can't guarantee that the emperor will change his taste now, and then Mo Miaoren's talent is in the emperor's arms and becomes the most brilliant one among us. "Lu Huiyan and Zheng Linglan have been friends for many years, and the two of them cooperate well with each other, and there is no room for others to interject at all.
Everyone understands Zheng Lingzhi and Lu Huiyan's thoughts, but this is also a good thing for them, after all, they don't belong to the same camp, it's best to let these three fight and lose both, just watch from the sidelines.
"Okay, that's all there is to it, let's continue to introduce," Du Qingfu showed that her bias towards Mo Chenghuan was too obvious, so she had to give up.
After introducing herself, Du Qingfu asked the twelve wonderful people to come back on stage and show their talents one by one.
Mo Chenghuan ranked seventh, she asked Jin Su to take a bladeless sword early, and asked the pianist to play a song "Out of the Pass" for herself, dancing with the tune, sometimes turning into a majestic heroine, sometimes turning into a soldier who was suffering from homesickness and grieving himself night and night.
After the song, many people present were deeply shocked, and even Du Qingfu, who was not optimistic about this sword dance, had to praise Mo Chenghuan from the bottom of his heart: "If it weren't for the emperor's dislike, this dance would definitely be peerless!"
"Thanks to Du Xinggong. Mo Chenghuan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said modestly to Du Qingfu.
"Quan Canglei is afraid that he can't find a second person who can integrate the sword intent with the "Exit Song" so perfectly. Yu Suhua stepped forward one step ahead of everyone and praised Mo Chenghuan without hesitation.
"Yu Miaoren has won the award, and the "Lian Xia" you played just now is also unique. Mo Chenghuan wanted to compliment this Yu Miaoren, but apart from a unique face, this Yu Miaoren really has no talent that can stand out among the wonderful people.
After Du Qingfu and Yu Suhua boasted, the faces of the group of wonderful people behind them all changed, and they all had their own ideas.
However, this excitement also quickly retreated with the next wonderful person who showed his talent, and after a show, Du Qingfu had a bottom in his heart.
"Now that I've learned about the talents of all the wonderful people, I'll go back tonight and make good plans before making arrangements, and the wonderful people whose names I read will stay, and the rest of the wonderful people will go back to rest first. Yu Suhua, Fu Yijia, Liu Zhifang, Xue Shicai. Du Qingfu simply read out the list and let the rest go back.
