And the eleventh princess was born to an ordinary concubine, as for which concubine it was, the county lord of Anping didn't remember much, after all, her uncle had too many daughters, and there were only one or two of them she could remember. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The county lord of Anping set his sights back on this talent show.
said that the eldest daughter of the Ministry of Rites was going to come up to perform, and the county lord of Anping swept over boringly.
Another delicate woman, gentle and beautiful, with moving eyebrows, dressed in goose-yellow clothes, delicate like a new sprout on a branch.
The county lord of Anping pursed her lips, and she saw many noble women looking at this weak woman with jealous eyes.
She turned sideways and asked her grandmother, "Grandmother, who is this person?" It's really good-looking! ā
In fact, the county lord of Anping just wanted to inquire, but she didn't really think that this person was good-looking, she always felt that such a look was too weak. Although many people seem to like such a weak girl, the county lord of Anping has always been wary of such girls.
Although the county lord of Anping also began to work hard to make himself such a gentle person, it was still different in nature.
The Empress Dowager Guo touched the head of the county lord of Anping and said to the county lord of Anping: "She is a newly selected talented woman in the capital, originally your ninth sister in the capital, the Zhao family and the young lady of the Xie family are called the three talented women in the capital, this one in front of you is not simple." ā
The county lord of Anping was aroused a little curiosity by Guo's words.
"Grandmother, tell me quickly, what's wrong with her, right?"
The Empress Dowager Guo was also amused by the coquettish appearance of the county lord of Anping.
"Okay, I'll tell you. She is the concubine of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, and because of her mother's cowardice, the concubine is domineering. Since she was a child, she has not been treated well by her father, and she doesn't know if it's really weakness or fake weakness, and their mother and daughter have never resisted and let the concubine practice it, and they don't resist. Even if you occupy the position of your wife, you can't maintain your position well, and it's really a sin. ā
"Ah, I forgot to tell you what this woman's name is, your grandmother is so old and confused."
Saying that, the Queen Mother Guo also patted her head, and Mama Liu stood on the side, and from time to time the Queen Mother hammered her shoulders. I was startled when I saw the Queen Mother pat on the head.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
The Queen Mother knew that Mama Liu cared about her and waved her hand.
"It's nothing, it's just that my memory has been a little bad recently, and I wanted to talk to Siming about the girl from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, but I forgot what this girl's name was."
Mama Liu sighed. He took the hand that the Queen Mother had placed on the door of his head.
"Mother, don't abuse yourself like this, if you can't remember, you can't remember, it's not a big deal. If you can't think of it, you can ask the slave to talk about it. ā
The county lord of Anping also looked at his grandmother embarrassedly: "Grandmother, if you can't remember, don't forget it, this is not a very important matter!" It's just a momentary curiosity of her granddaughter. ā
Empress Dowager Guo had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and suddenly thought of this person's name.
"Her name is Minglan! I remember. ā
The county lord of Anping looked at his grandmother who was so excited with some surprise.
The people watching the performance were stunned by the Queen Mother's sudden voice, and they all turned their heads to look at the Queen Mother. Although everyone only heard the word Minglan , what is the Queen Mother going to do, could it be that Minglan performed so well that she should be rewarded? But the name of the talented girl is already a great reward for Minglan . Is she going to get anything now?
Everyone looked at Minglan with different expressions, some thought that this Minglan would be appreciated by the Queen Mother, some were jealous and resentful, some were indifferent, and even more contempt, thinking that Minglan was just a clown who jumped off the beam, even if she was appreciated by the Queen Mother, she was just a plaything.
The county lord of Anping was stunned, but he didn't expect this sudden sentence to focus everyone's eyes on the Queen Mother.
Of course, the Queen Mother will not be as confused as the Lord of Anping, she is the Queen Mother, and she naturally has more experience than the Lord of Anping, in the face of such a scene, she has a way to get through.
And Minglan who was playing the piano was interrupted by the Queen Mother like this, so she stopped what she was doing. Slowly got up and walked to the Queen Mother and saluted elegantly.
"The courtier's name Lan visited the Queen Mother, I don't know what the Queen Mother called the courtier?"
The Queen Mother looked at Minglan with a very serious face.
"You get up first, I just heard you play the piano, the piano is complaining, I can't help but interrupt, your piano skills are good, why don't you change to a cheerful music?"
Everyone was shocked by such a turn, and they all looked like they were watching a good show. What they didn't expect was that the Queen Mother actually disliked the music and asked for it to be changed because she was too complaining, but there were people in front of her who played it even more complaining, and they didn't see the Queen Mother say it, so it can be seen that the Queen Mother either looked at this Minglan differently or hated Minglan either, although everyone felt that the second possibility was even greater.
Minglan just smiled, and her demeanor was clear, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
He bowed to the Queen Mother Guo and walked in the direction of the performance stage.
On her way back, her sister-in-law Mingyu sneered at Minglan with a gloating face: "I thought it was a ladder to heaven, but I didn't expect it to be a scolding!" Minglan, you also have today! ā
This Mingyu is disgusted with Minglan, so he is always squeezing Minglan. At first, Minglan was too lazy to take care of this person, but later Mingyu became more and more excessive, and Minglan fought back a few times, which made Mingyu hold this Minglan even more!
What made Mingyu even more angry was that for some reason, this Minglan suddenly became a famous talented woman in the capital. This really upsets her! It's like overnight, this Minglan has become so good!
Minglan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked back without squinting. There is still a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.
She sat down in front of the piano, put her hand on the surface, and began to search for cheerful songs in her head! But she hadn't played such songs for a long time. The mood is different, and no kind of song will inevitably have a sad tune. Although the Queen Mother's request was not difficult for her before, but now her heart has long been full of holes, and it is difficult to play that cheerful tone again.
She thought about it and thought about it, picked a magnificent hand, and the song began to play. In the end, she had forgotten what she was playing, and only immersed herself in the sound of the piano, and when the sound of the piano stopped, she came out of the scene she had wore.
She heard the applause in a trance, and saw the rewards sent by the Queen Mother and the Queen.
That's when I came to my senses. She leaned over to thank her, with a faint expression on her face, and slowly returned to her place.
She came to such a banquet this time not to win everyone's praise, nor to gain glory, but for the person sitting next to the Queen Mother--- Lord Anping.
