Chapter 340: Skinning the Grapes
While laughing, Concubine De spoke, to the effect that she introduced the singing and dancing instrumental musicians who were entertaining today. In fact, needless to say, everyone also knows that if you can play for the palace concubine, it must not be an ordinary person.
It was not easy to see such a good singing and dancing performance, and everyone was very focused.
After watching it for a while, Princess Yongjia said to Qin Shuying: "I'm leaving, if I encounter something that can't be solved, let people take this jade pendant and go directly to the front palace to find me." ”
After that, Princess Yongjia got up, and in the respect of everyone, got into the boat that had already been waiting by the lake, and went all the way.
As soon as she left, everyone looked at Qin Shuying even more unscrupulously and talked about Qin Shuying. Qin Shuying did not dodge or dodge, he was generous, and let others look at and discuss.
Suddenly, Concubine Kang said to Concubine De and Concubine Lian: "Two sisters, my sister heard that Miss Qin Qi is very intelligent, and she is all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows everything, otherwise the eldest princess would not value it so much." You say, "Yes?" ”
Concubine De smiled faintly and did not say a word.
Concubine Lian said in her unusually nice voice, "Sister Kang, you are extremely right. Shuying, come here in the main palace. ”
Qin Shuying walked over and stood beside Concubine Lian.
Concubine Kang smiled and said: "Miss Qin Qi, what did you just say to the eldest princess, the eldest princess is very happy, let's listen to it, we are all happy." ”
She didn't make a special trip for others to have fun, Qin Shuying said: "Niangniang, if it is not for the permission of the eldest princess, please forgive the courtiers for not being able to say." ”
Half of Concubine Kang's words were to find fault, and half of them were really wondering what Qin Shuying was talking about and why Princess Yongjia looked very happy.
Concubine Kang did not forget that Princess Yongjia obviously acquiesced to some of her actions during the hairpin banquet, why did she get along with Qin Shuying later.
But Concubine Kang didn't dare to ask Princess Yongjia.
Concubine Kang was choked and her face was very embarrassed, but she pretended to be affectionate: "You kid, you climbed up to the eldest princess, and you don't even pay attention to the palace." ”
Qin Shuying still shook her head: "Niangniang, the courtiers did not cling to the eldest princess. The eldest princess is beautiful and beautiful, and she has never looked down on other people's flattery and pets. The courtiers just happened to have something to say to the eldest princess, and they couldn't talk about anything. ”
If you talk about Qin Shuying's attachment to Princess Yongjia, it means that Princess Yongjia likes to be flattered and pampered.
Kang Concubine and Qin Shuying dealt with each other twice, although she knew that Qin Shuying was such a personality, but she was rejected by Qin Shuying in front of so many people, and Kang Concubine's face still couldn't hang it.
She wanted to scold Qin Shuying, but Concubine De was here, the emperor was in the front palace, and Princess Yongjia had just left, so she didn't dare to go too far.
Concubine Lian secretly sneered, but said, "Sister Kang is just joking with you, you kid, what are you doing so seriously?" The ice grapes over there are sweet and sour, and Sister Kang loves to eat them, but her nails are too long and inconvenient, so you can peel a few. ”
Qin Shuying looked at Concubine Kang, Concubine Kang raised her eyebrows, meaning that she really loves to eat, Qin Shuying, you can peel it off.
Seeing Qin Shuying standing still, Concubine Lian urged softly, "Shuying, don't peel the grapes quickly, these grapes taste good." ”
Qin Shuying looked at Concubine Lian again, and Concubine Lian's smiling face looked more and more beautiful in the ample light.
Qin Shuying suddenly smiled, answered, took a bunch of grapes on the plate in front of him, and peeled it.
Concubine Kang laughed sarcastically, and when she peeled the grapes, Concubine Kang had a way to torture Qin Shuying.
After all, no matter how arrogant Qin Shuying is, in front of them, doesn't she have to serve obediently?
Qin Shuying slowly peeled the grapes, and after a while, there were three grape flesh with the skin removed from the grape lying on the plate, crystal clear and round.
Everyone's attention shifted from the wonderful performance in the field to Qin Shuying. As a courtier, peeling grapes for the palace concubine is not a spineless thing. However, it depends on the occasion and the object.
Knowing that Concubine Kang didn't want to see her, she peeled grapes for the other party, which was spineless!
Qin Shuying was slim, carefully peeling the grape skins slowly, as if she didn't realize what a shameful thing it was to peel grapes for Concubine Kang.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened - Qin Shuying ate the peeled grapes one by one into his mouth.
Concubine Lian didn't seem to see her behavior at all, but continued to smile and look at the singer on the dance floor.
Everyone in the audience saw it, but Concubine Lian didn't see it.
Finally, just when Qin Shuying was about to eat the last grape in her stomach, Princess Fu'an couldn't help but let out a "tsk" and raised her voice: "Miss Qin Qi, why are you so rude, and you actually eat it yourself?" ”
Qin Shuying slowly chewed and swallowed the grapes in her mouth, and in everyone's surprised expressions, she looked at Princess Fu'an's gloomy face and said, "Your Highness, is there anything inappropriate?" ”
Princess Fu'an raised her chin, "Concubine Lian asked you to peel it, but she didn't let you eat it!" ”
"Let the courtiers peel but don't let the courtiers eat, then what are the raisins peeled?"
"Let you peel it for your mother!"
"Concubine Lian just said that Concubine Kang's nails were too long and inconvenient, so she asked the courtiers to peel the grapes, but she didn't say that letting the courtiers peel the grapes was for Concubine Kang to eat. Is the courtier right, Concubine Lian? ”
Concubine Lian seemed to realize it later, and suddenly realized, "Yo! It's all to blame for not making it clear. Shuying, it's very hot, so you might as well sit back where you just was. ”
Qin Shuying smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Princess Fu'an was so angry that her face was hideous, and Concubine Kang secretly pinched her palms, Qin Lianlian, a slut, had only been cooperating for a few days, and she dared to dig a pit for herself in front of so many people!
Concubine De didn't seem to see the competition between Concubine Lian and Concubine Kang at all, but watched the singing and dancing in the field with relish. They are all sluts who can't be put on the stage, and Concubine Lian just looks at Qin Shuying as valuable, so she immediately turned the spearhead and dealt with Concubine Kang.
Just let them eat dogs.
Concubine Kang secretly gave Mrs. Liu a look, and Mrs. Liu understood, and took advantage of the quiet time when the dancing girls went down to the scene, so she mentioned to Concubine Lian: "Concubine Lian, when the courtiers saw Miss Qin Qi, they couldn't help but think of her father and mother. Back then, when Qin Sanye died, he asked our husband and wife to take care of Miss Qin Qi, and our husband and wife agreed. Who knows, now that the two families can't get married, the courtiers can't take care of Miss Qin Qi, and they are very ashamed of Qin Sanye and his wife. Niangniang, the courtiers want to recognize Miss Qin Qi as a righteous daughter, so that they can fulfill the promise they made in front of Qin Sanye and his wife that day. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Liu gently pressed the corner of her eye, looking very sad and sad.
Concubine Lian listened to Mrs. Liu quietly, and Qin Shuying watched the performance calmly.
"Niangniang, Miss Qin Qi is smart and generous, and the courtiers know that this request is a bit excessive, but today Niangniang is here, you are her cousin, and you are also present when Xiao'er and Miss Qin Qi dissolve the marriage contract. Only then did the courtier blush and ask you for an idea. Rest assured, the courtiers will definitely take care of Miss Qin Qi like their own mother. ”
