Chapter 14: Talent

Xinyan secretly thought, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has dabbled in it. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info The only thing that can be performed live today is the piano! If you hit yourself at one point, you should be able to cope with the past.

Think, put your mind at ease. Looking around, I found that there were two rows of seats vacated in the middle of the main hall, and there were sand tents and screens outside. When people sit inside, they can see shadows. It's a bit like a shadow puppetry. Wang Chongyuan volunteered to be a drummer, and the rest of the concubines sat in the vacant seats in order.

Gu Xinyan also walked to a seat and sat down, and Chuan Fangfei sat opposite her, squeezing her eyes.

A drum sounded, and through the screen, the people watching the hall only heard the sound of drums, and vaguely saw a huge red silk flower flying in everyone's hands, and everyone took it quickly and passed it to the next person. The drums were beating, and the people who were carrying the flowers were highly nervous, and the people watching outside were staring at the beating red silk flowers with great interest. "Knock", a short drum sound, the silk flowers rolled to an outstretched hand.

Zhou Cairen had to stand up, turn out of the screen, bless the hall, and walk to the center of the hall. After thinking for a while, he cleared his throat and sang a song "Spring Flower Order", with a tactful and pleasant voice. It's really good to sing. After singing, there was a round of applause all around!

Zhou Cairen returned to his seat, and the game continued. This time, the drums stopped, and Fan Meiren came out of the queue and played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" behind the screen. Again, the crowd responded with applause.

After that, people came to the stage one after another, and all the musical instruments, except for a pipa, were all zheng.

Gradually, I listened to it more, and the problem came, and the musical instruments of one color were played back and forth, and they were all those tunes, and they were immediately visible. It's really that the people who play are nervous, and the people who listen to it are boring.

At the beginning of another round, when the drums stopped, Gu Xinyan had just sent out the silk flower, but Li Cairen pushed it back in a panic, and the silk flower was awkwardly stuck between Gu Xinyan and Li Cairen. Because it was difficult to adjudicate, the referee sentenced both men to take the stage at the same time.

Li Cairen preemptively played a zither song, and Xinyan was embarrassed to follow the same again. She thought for a while, stood still, raised her left foot, walked lightly like a magpie bird flying low, raised her wrist and lowered her eyebrows, lightly Shu Yun's hand, and like a pen walking dragon painting Danqing. There was silence in the main hall. I saw a woman in blue, flying on the red carpet, dyed with green silk and ink, with the eyes of everyone.

Suddenly, a flute sounded slowly, and Emperor Cheng held the jade flute in his hand and came out of the crowd. The sound of the flute was melodious and agitated, Gu Xinyan turned faster and faster, and when she felt that her feet were about to fly, Xiao Sheng suddenly fell, turned gently, and Xinyan took the opportunity to roll on the spot, a big ups and downs, and slowly fell. Stood still, panting sharply.

The hall erupted in thunderous applause. Emperor Cheng stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Xinyan with a smile. From afar, Xinyan clearly felt that the air around her was hot, and there were those hot eyes behind her. She quickly glanced up at Emperor Cheng, blessed with a blessing, and bowed her head and retreated.

She danced a song in a hurry just now, and she was already in the limelight. She studied dance for 8 years in her previous life, and although she is not a leader, her foundation is still there. After the crossing, the Li family specially invited the female gentleman to come to the house to teach various skills, because he liked it, and he put more thought into the dance than the others. This time, I thought that I would just dance a dance music that suits the occasion. But Emperor Cheng might as well use the sound of the flute as a guide, because of inertia, how can he still hold it. But because I haven't practiced for a long time, I was tired and panicked after a song.

She returned to her seat with all eyes on her. Fu Fangfei squeezed her eyebrows across the platform, and she smiled silently.

Because of Emperor Cheng's participation, the following performance was not interesting, and the drumming and passing flowers came to an end. The next show is juggling. Everyone was shocked again, and they all sat up straight, stretched their necks and watched. Even the Queen Mother stared intently.

Gu Xinyan sat quietly in her seat, concentrating on the dishes in front of her.

This birthday banquet was extraordinarily rich. All kinds of hot dishes, cold dishes, soup dishes, fresh fruits, dim sum cakes, etc., are sent up like flowing water, and I don't know how many. Xinyan tasted the same. Occasionally raise your eyes to look at the juggling in the stage.

She is not interested in this, compared with the evening programs that were joined by modern scientific and technological means in her previous life, this really can't attract her. Moreover, she keenly felt that the concubines around her were alienating her, intentionally or unintentionally, after what had just happened.

She is also too lazy to dislike people, she feels thirsty, tastes a sip of tea, gets tired of eating, picks up a piece of snack, enjoys herself, and is also comfortable.

On the opposite side, there were four or five young people on the front seat who were drinking with their heads down, and one of them, a young man in a dark brocade robe, was leaning his neck and drinking the wine toasted by others, and when he put down the wine glass, he glanced at Gu Xinyan, who was eating hard, and smiled dumbly.

The whole banquet lasted for nearly two hours, until the Queen Mother was tired, and everyone left one after another.

When Xinyan stepped out of the palace gate, Zhou Cairen waited for her at the door. Seeing her come out, she smiled like a flower: "Congratulations to my sister, my sister danced so well today!" As he spoke, he stepped forward affectionately and grabbed Xinyan's arm. Xinyan's body trembled, and she held her. She is not used to such intimate actions with people, except for her family, after entering the palace, Fu Fangfei is counted as one.

She leaned slightly awkwardly and looked forward, Zhou Cairen held it too tightly. She smiled and talked to Zhou Cairen, and the two gradually walked away.

Back in Huiyi Palace, Zhou Cairen didn't go back to his room, and followed Gu Xinyan back to his residence. Xinyan cleaned her face, and she sat down to eat tea.

An Qin held the two brocade boxes just now, and asked where Xinyan was collected. Xinyan wiped her hands with a cotton cloth, and before she could speak, Zhou Cairen leaned over and said with a smile: "Let me see, the things rewarded by the queen mother must be exquisite and abnormal." ”

Xin Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Yes, I didn't take a closer look at the palace just now." Anqin answered and opened the lid.

The jewelry made by the housekeeper has the words on the reverse side. Zhou Cairen picked up the hairpin and looked through it carefully, the envy in his eyes was so obvious. After a long time, I reluctantly put it down, ate tea again, and then said goodbye and left.

Gu Xinyan instructed Huancui to put it away carefully.

After dinner, Ning Zhaoyuan sent someone to bring a box of Ruyi cakes, saying that they had just made it and gave it to Gu Cairen to taste. Gu Xinyan thanked her, gave Huancui a color, and Huancui retreated. When I was young, I came back and reported that Zhou Cairen also had it. Gu Xinyan sighed, she couldn't accept other people's overtures for a while.

Everyone in the palace thought that Xinyan would go to bed soon. Fu Fangfei said the same, and Gu Xinyan smiled. But in the expectation of the people, three, five, fifteen days passed. There was no movement at all in the Zhongtai Palace. It's as if there is no such thing at all.

Gu Xinyan had already been mentally prepared for this, and Emperor Cheng waited for the harem concubines with a critical gaze. She has already seen and understood, looking at the favored or powerful concubines in the harem, which one is not a prominent maiden family? Except for a good beauty who is slightly inferior, it may be a special case, right? She felt she couldn't afford it.

In order to avoid trouble, she reduced the number of times she went out, and even Anqin and Huancui went out less. She was tired of the inquiring gazes. Compassion, doubts, sarcasm? She smiled secretly, she had really grown, and she could read a lot of meaning with one look.

During this time, even Fu Fangfei rarely approached her, probably because she was afraid that she would touch the scene? Because Fu Fangfei's birthday banquet lasted for three days in a row, Emperor Cheng rested at her, and Fu Jieyu was in the limelight in the harem all of a sudden.

On this day, Fu Xinyan was taking stock of the few clothes with Huancui, taking advantage of the good weather in the past two days, what should be dried and what should be harvested. Mo'er came and said that Fu Fangfei invited her to go to Yijing Palace at night.
