Chapter Twenty-Six: The Queen Mother's Doubts

Here in the Imperial Garden, the first round of talent competitions is almost over, and all of you are versatile, each with its own merits.

The fourth lady Qingxuan had no intention of participating, so she danced twice at will and perfunctory, Yin Liyan was also a little conservative, obviously knowing that Yin Liyun admired the nine princes, and did not dare to show that she was too good for fear of stealing her limelight, although the rest of the daughters were very good, but there was nothing particularly surprising, at present, there were only two people left, she and Yin Liyun were left, and everyone's eyes were all focused on them, you know, one is the powerful Yin Liyun who loves the nine princes, and the other is sponsored by Mrs. Qian, It is obviously the warm water given by the fortress to the Nine Princes, this time, it is a little more dramatic, and even everyone's eyes are a little hot.

Yin Liyun and Ruoshui looked at each other for a long time, and then said leisurely.

"Ruoshui girl first."

Ruoshui smiled slightly.

"It's better for Miss Yin to go first, Ruoshui's status is low, and she doesn't dare to take the lead."

Yin Liyun hooked her lips a little coldly.

"Since everyone is together, they are even sisters, and besides, the competition is based on skills, so you don't have to care too much about dignity, so let's go first."

Seeing that Ruoshui was embarrassed, the Queen Mother also smiled and said.

"Yes, Liyun is right, if the water girl is not humble." After speaking, he said to the girl behind him.

"Let's bring Fengluan to Ruoshui girl." The maid answered.

Ruoshui glanced at the old lady, and when he saw that she also nodded to himself in agreement, he leaned over and said.

"In this way, if the water is ugly."

When she said this, the eyes of the fourth lady on the side flashed without a trace, and she waited calmly to see Ruoshui's 'sacrifice of ugliness'.

It didn't take long for Feng Luan to appear in everyone's sight, and all the daughters looked at this famous piano in surprise, and their eyes showed envy.

Ruoshui walked over calmly, looked at Feng Luanqin and sat down for a while, and sighed in her heart, she has experienced a lot of this kind of occasion, but the situation is different, when she wants to be in Yunzhou, she is surrounded by a pair of adoring faces, but today, they have all been replaced with jealous and hateful faces, such a big contrast, it is really impossible not to sigh.

In this situation where the eyes can kill people, Ruoshui admires his own characterization very much, his hands are attached to the body of the piano, and his ten fingers are stroked to the strings, the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the stinging sensation from the fingers instantly makes Ruoshui frown slightly, and naturally stops, what's going on, why does her hand hurt when she touches the piano?

The scene behind the Royal Garden in my mind was quickly recalled, the most abnormal, it was none other than Miss Four, thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but realize, Miss Four had shaken her hand at the time, and it was quite tight, at that time she was still thinking about how Miss Four suddenly became so close to her, but it turned out to be like this, thinking about it, I couldn't help but sweep the corner of my eyes to the side of the seat, and sure enough, I saw a trace of triumphant smile flashing at the corner of Miss Four's mouth, Ruoshui was shocked, it seems that she guessed correctly, it was really her hands and feet, really careful, all kinds of caution, all kinds of caution, In the end, it was still someone else's way, it was this girl who was careless, took a quick look around, and saw that everyone looked at her in surprise, and her heart was down, and now she couldn't retreat, so she had to endure the pain.

Stabilized his nerves, and was about to continue stroking the qin, but a shout from the eunuch came from behind him.

"The Nine Princes Arrive"

This summons, everyone in the imperial garden was stunned, this protagonist finally appeared on the stage, the old lady at the top looked forward with some excitement, and some of the daughters stretched their necks, and then looked at Yin Liyun, the cold face that had not changed for thousands of years finally had a strange warm color, although Ruoshui was curious about the nine princes, but because she was sitting in the middle, she was blocked by many daughters and couldn't see it, so she was not in a hurry, anyway, she could see it later.

Seeing that the daughters suddenly lowered their heads and moved out of the way on both sides, Ruoshui knew that it must be the Nine Princes approaching, so he immediately stood up and moved to the right, lowered his head, and saluted with everyone.

"I'm sorry Queen Mother, Yan'er came late."

The familiar sound next to his ears made Ruoshui's figure tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but quietly raise his eyes to look up, but he only saw a back, and he lowered his eyes in disappointment.

The Queen Mother looked at him strangely and said displeasedly.

"Okay, it's good to come, come and meet the old lady."

Mo Yan turned around and saluted in front of the old lady, and heard the old lady's voice tremble a little and couldn't hide her excited smile.

"No need to be so polite, this is killing my old woman."

In fact, since Mo Yan appeared, the old lady's expectant eyes have been following him, and now when she sees him standing in front of her, so tall and gentle, it is a little difficult to control her feelings for a while

The Queen Mother saw the old lady's affection in her eyes and smiled.

"The old lady's words are not right, the so-called kindness should be repaid with a spring, not to mention this life-saving grace, the old lady is well-deserved."

"The queen mother is right, Mo Yan often heard his mother talk about the old lady when he was a child, and he has always been very grateful to the old lady in his heart."

Speaking of his mother, the old lady sighed slightly, with sadness in her eyes.

"Your mother is a good woman, but she can't help it."

Looking at the sadness of the old lady, the Queen Mother instantly remembered some of the past, and her expression was a little confused.

The two generations of the Qian family are the princesses, and the emperor has great respect for the old lady Qian Qing, thinking that his wife is also a person with good talents and virtues, so he allows him to enter and leave the palace by himself, and the concubine is the companion, and can discuss knowledge with each other, which is also a good thing, but the queen mother who was the queen at that time found that the old lady Qian seemed to be very close to Concubine Xiao at that time, that is, Xiao Yunying, the biological mother of the ninth prince, and some details even exceeded the general friendship, making people feel like mother and daughter, although she was strange, but it was not good to ask more.

I still remember that year, Concubine Xiao was pregnant with Liujia, about to give birth, accompanied by Mrs. Qian in the palace special Buddha hall to pray, somehow, the Buddha hall suddenly came out of the smoke, when she and the emperor and a group of palace people rushed to extinguish the fire and walked into the hall to see the situation, it was Mrs. Qian who took off her coat and tightly protected Concubine Xiao, who was already in a semi-coma, so that she was not affected by the smoke, but after all, she was still affected a little, and at the moment Concubine Xiao's skirt was stained red with bloodstains, which was a sign of premature birth, and later according to the imperial doctor, The old lady lost money to protect Concubine Xiao regardless of her personal safety, otherwise with her pregnant body, she would definitely not survive, and because of this, the old lady Qian was invaded by smoke to her heart and lungs, and it took a long time to get better, and she was still concerned about Concubine Xiao and the newborn Nine Princes during her illness, and this too extraordinary care had to make her wonder.

The old lady felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, as if she felt that it was not suitable to mention this at this moment, she hurriedly suppressed her excitement and eased her face, looked at Mo Yan kindly, and saw that although he was a premature baby, he looked very healthy, and she was very relieved.

"I think that when the old woman left Rongcheng, the Nine Princes were still in infancy, this seems to be a blink of an eye, the Nine Princes have grown up so outstanding, it's really like an arrow." Yunying Spring has knowledge, and it is time to rest assured.

"No, the children have grown up, and we are getting older." The Queen Mother replied with a light smile to ease the atmosphere.

The old lady said with a haha.

"Okay, okay, I have an old woman and I'm here, the Queen Mother, you are not qualified to say that you are old."

The Queen Mother had to smile when she heard this.

The old lady beckoned to Mo Yan and motioned for him to sit next to her.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, today is a good day, let's continue to watch the game." After speaking, he stared at Mo Yan with deep meaning.

"It's rare that the girls are so complete today, and they are all versatile, the Nine Princes are late, and they have to enjoy it next."

The old lady's meaning was very obvious, and a trace of blush flashed on the low cheeks of the daughters below, and Mo Yan also nodded with a smile.

"Definitely"

After speaking, he swept his eyes, and saw Ruoshui, who looked like a virtuous lady not far away, and the playful smile in his eyes was even deeper.
