【322】Don't follow the routine (2nd update)
The holding of the palace banquet is not only an opportunity for the nobles to show their style, but also a great opportunity to see Qin Shuang's appearance and embarrass the prince!
Skills set off themselves, and they were able to step on Qin Shuang hard, everyone maintained a very high level of enthusiasm, and everyone present didn't think that Qin Shuang would refuse Lu Pianran's mention.
Maybe she is not sure that she can outperform all the talented ladies in terms of talent, but in front of the queen, can she directly admit it without caring about the slightest face? is already inferior to them in terms of background, and they don't want to prove themselves in other aspects and let the queen treat them differently? In other words, if they stand in Qin Shuang's position, they will agree if they are hard-headed, not only to agree, but also to agree with confidence, if they want to worry, they can turn around and worry again.
What's the matter, Qin Shuang deliberately went to the Imperial Garden today just to see what tricks these people can play, to determine the danger, and to make sure that it is a group of vases who only know how to compete for the wind and be jealous, and have a little brains but are not worried, so they don't plan to follow their script.
Originally, she was more interested in slapping them in the face, why did she have to match their ideas?
Qin Shuang smiled slightly, shrugged her shoulders innocently and helplessly, and said very calmly and cheekily: "Miss Lu is too worried, I am just a country woman, how dare I compare with you from a famous family." All the young ladies are talented and beautiful young ladies, I don't have any talent to compare with you, I won't be ugly at the palace banquet. ”
Ladies: "......"
Ladies and Daughters: "......"
Queen: "......"
This development is not quite right!
Said to be a swollen face and a fat man! - the ladies thought.
Okay, use your incompetence to set off my daughter's excellence! - These are the ladies of the Commandment.
said that it was difficult to deal with it, and then shocked the audience on the day of the harem banquet! - Needless to say, this is the queen who stands on Qin Shuang's side.
If there should be no such thing as a list of xiàns, where will there be a blockbuster follow-up to the palace banquet? Qin Shuang's plan queen didn't know, she just felt that since Qin Shuang wanted these young ladies to die for Tianao, she must want them to find out that the people they didn't care about could actually crush them in all aspects, and make a counterattack at a critical moment, right?
Of course, this is indeed a good way to slap the face, but correspondingly, there is actually another way to slap the face that also has the effect of slapping the face, that is...... Even if Qin Shuang didn't show any talent, he didn't reveal the background of Ruyizhuang, he just stared at the current delicate face that could only be said to be a small jasper, and steadily pressed on the many beautiful and beautiful ladies.
This feeling that the other party can't even compare to one of his toes, but he just loses to the other party, is it embarrassing enough? Is it shameful enough? Don't slap your face too well!
Qin Shuang didn't care which of the above ways to anger these nobles to death, she just planned to try both ways, at present, the second way has already had some results because it exposed the identity of the reunion, and the nobles will definitely not be convinced that she can actually give birth to a son to the prince, and she doesn't necessarily hate it in her heart, but this is not enough, the palace banquet they mentioned is indeed a good occasion to slap the face.
Under the watchful eye of the public, once something happens to lose people, it will spread all over the capital in the shortest possible time, and it is very operable.
As for the first way, if she really has to perform something for some force majeure reason in the end, she is not afraid, and there are still many ways to make the nobles regret the trouble with her.
It's just that why did she go out of her way to prove herself in front of these women? Which green onion are you qualified to let her show evidence to prove that she is worthy of the prince? Is it Ah Chen's father or Ah Chen's mother? The mother-in-law didn't say anything, and these outsiders who wanted to be concubines for Ah Chen were jumping up and down better than anyone else.
Everyone didn't expect Qin Shuang to be so frank about her 'incompetence', the queen thought that Qin Shuang must have her thoughts, so she didn't say anything, but the nobles showed disbelief and faint contempt after the shock, thinking that Qin Shuang didn't even have the courage to confront them head-on, it was too cowardly.
It was the two ladies of the Lu family who had been wary of Qin Shuang before that they were a little disappointed in Qin Shuang, thinking that Qin Shuang was self-aware and fundamentally put an end to the possibility of embarrassment.
This is not what they wanted, Lu Pianran and Lu Wanying glanced at each other, and after the latter hesitated for a moment, he still decided that he could not let go of this great opportunity, and pretended to understand Qin Shuang and teased: "Why should Miss Qin be so modest, you can get another look from His Highness, it must be some talents that we can't compare, isn't it?" ”
"Talent?" Qin Shuang touched her chin and thought for a moment, "Is it a talent to make money?" ”
Lu Wanying's expression froze for a moment, and she looked at Qin Shuang with round eyes, trying to see any joke on her face, but she found that Qin Shuang actually had a serious expression on her face!
The other nobles looked down on Qin Shuang even more, what does it mean to make money? It means that Qin Shuang is the daughter of a businessman who was born in a business! I knew that the other party's background must not be very good, but I didn't expect that she was actually the daughter of a businessman, and she herself didn't feel that she couldn't take this identity at all, and she was embarrassed to bring it up in front of the queen's mother!
No wonder she didn't dare to agree to perform at the palace banquet, what talent can a businessman's daughter give? You can't ask her to sell things or settle accounts at palace banquets, can you?
Wu Qin also said to Qin Shuang with a strange smile at this time: "Miss Qin, don't make fun of us, you must have something you are best at, don't be modest, let us see it when you say it." ”
"What are you good at...... Indeed there is. Qin Shuang proudly pointed to the clothes on Tuan Tuan Tuan Yuan's body, and said: "The clothes on my son's body are all sewn by me, I am very good at making clothes for children, not that I brag, but all the small clothes that pass through my hands, whether it is workmanship or style, can definitely make people shine." ”
“!”
Everyone's expressions cracked again, and their hearts roared incessantly—who asked you such an indifferent thing!
It doesn't matter anymore!
Good at making clothes!? Can this kind of thing be shown? What big family doesn't have their dedicated embroiderers? Whose owner would have nothing to do and be proud of what a subordinate should do?
Lu Pianran and the others almost collapsed in their hearts, and they only felt unspeakably tired of talking to Qin Shuang, as if the two sides were not on the same channel at all, and they were completely talking about chickens and ducks.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, being good at making children's clothes is also a kind of talent, is it possible to let her sew clothes by herself at the palace banquet? That kind of picture is so beautiful, they can't imagine it!
Only the queen mother deliberately paid careful attention to the clothes worn by Tuan Tuan Tuanyuan, in fact, as early as the first time she saw them, she noticed the clothes they were wearing, and then thought that this was a well-known garment master in the capital made of clothes, so good and exquisite, if you have the opportunity, ask Qin Shuang, and wait for the eldest daughter-in-law to give birth to a child, and make more beautiful clothes for that child.
Before that, she really didn't think that it was actually sewn by Qin Shuang herself, but now that she knows, her impression of Qin Shuang is even better.
With the large amount of silver earned by Ruyizhuang, it is nothing to find a few handmade embroidery girls to make clothes for Tuan Tuan Tuanyuan, but Qin Shuang still prefers to make clothes for them personally, which shows that she is very attentive to the two children, and she is not even willing to fake the hands of others to pass them clothes.
While constantly praising Qin Shuang in her heart, the queen was still thinking that it would be better to wait for her eldest daughter-in-law to give birth, and let Qin Shuang personally sew two sets of clothes and send them over, all as a meeting gift for the child.
By the way, she hasn't given Qin Shuang yet, and there is a reunion to prepare a meeting gift, in order to make Qin Shuang feel that she and the emperor value her, this meeting gift has to be picked carefully.
The queen's train of thought was inadvertently a little distant, but Lu Pianran and the others still didn't intend to let Qin Shuang go, and kept asking Qin Shuang if she had any other talents, focusing on qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to say how proficient she needed to be, but it didn't hurt to know a little about fur, the palace banquet was mainly for celebration, not to choose a ranking, the important thing was the mind.
As long as the mind arrives, whether the talent show is wonderful or not can actually be ranked second.
Qin Shuang was pitiful to see them holding her so much, and she took out another skill that she was good at again.
"My cooking skills are also very good, and I own a restaurant at home." Restaurants and restaurants all mean the same thing, she didn't lie.
"If you wish, I can make you some food another day so that you can taste the flavors of my hometown?"
“……”
imagined the picture of putting a temporary stove on the palace banquet, putting all kinds of ingredients, lighting a fire in front of the civil and military officials, heating the pot, adding oil, and stir-frying, and the acacia standing behind Qin Shuang took a lot of effort to fail to make people see the abnormality of his constantly twitching facial muscles, and through the phenomenon, according to the essence of the nobles, who seemed to be just sluggish, but in fact almost collapsed, silently gave his master a thumbs up in his heart.
That's the case with bloodless blades, right?
Thinking that Feng Xian always complained that the content of his reply was too monotonous, except for answering some questions raised by Feng Xian, the rest of the gossip was not a word, he pondered, maybe the next time he replied, he could have an exclusive touch on today's events, he felt that Feng Xian should like this kind of content very much, and he could imagine what the other party would laugh like when he saw it.
Not to mention how Feng Xian was pleasantly surprised after receiving Hehuan's rare reply that was longer than any previous one, and how she laughed stupidly after seeing the specific content, right now, the nobles have completely lost their hearts to Qin Shuang.
She is good at sewing and mending clothes, and she also likes to cook, this is a country woman from a poor country! They didn't take it seriously when Qin Shuang called herself a rural village woman before, but as what Qin Shuang was good at was revealed by herself one by one, Lu Pianran and the others began to believe it.
If it weren't for a village woman in the countryside who had never seen the world, how could she be good at what only people would do!?
But if she is really a country woman, then the question arises again, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fall in love with this kind of woman!
- She really relied on some kind of insidious means (such as drugging) to succeed!
The more Qin Shuang said, the less interested they were in her, the reunion was indeed worth their idea, but Qin Shuang, as the biological mother, was really disappointing, the reason why the reunion was very smart at first glance, everyone was more inclined to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a father, and did not inherit Qin Shuang's shortcomings.
If the two children followed Qin Shuang, it is estimated that they would not have to worry about it.
"Alright." After the queen came back to her senses, she saw that everyone's expressions were strange, and she didn't want to listen to them embarrassing Qin Shuang intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't know that standing on Qin Shuang's side didn't mean that she could let them play freely to make her stumble.
"The performance at the palace banquet is voluntary, what Qin Shuang is good at is really not suitable for display at the palace banquet, since this is the case, it is enough for the rest of you to support the scene."
This sentence was originally intended to relieve Qin Shuang without a trace, but in everyone's ears, it turned into the queen's incompetent disappointment with Qin Shuang, and she focused her attention on them, in fact, it is not difficult to understand, Qin Shuang gave birth to two smart and lovely children to the royal family, which is a great credit, but this great credit will be considered the end of giving her the position of a side concubine in the future.
The queen will definitely pay more attention to the future princess candidates.
If you want to be the crown princess, in addition to having a good family background, good appearance, and talent, you must definitely pass the test, you can't let people think that the crown princess of their Xuantian Kingdom, the future mother of the country is a cook who doesn't know anything, embroidery, right?
Qin Shuang alone didn't know the knowledge of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting at all, and they had already won completely! On the day of the palace banquet, Qin Shuang saw them show eighteen kinds of martial arts with her own eyes, and she couldn't even get a decent talent show to hit her to the point that it was difficult to have the mind to go against them, so she didn't have to worry.
For consideration.
If you are a little lucky, the palace banquet is good, and you may be directly married to become the crown princess, and you can even get the custody of the reunion!
Although it seems to be a little too beautiful to think, it is always good to have a little more uplifting motivation, and all the nobles stood up and saluted the queen, and said, "I will not disappoint the queen." ”
The queen waved her hand and said: "Okay, the time is not early, the palace is also a little tired, the palace banquet will be held in half a month at the earliest, you can not have much time to prepare, before the palace banquet, you don't have to enter the palace to ask for peace in the palace, prepare well at home, lest the palace banquet be bad." ”
In fact, the ladies do think so, if they want to dominate the crowd at the palace banquet, they also have to go back and carefully ponder what is good, no matter what they are good at, they must do the best possible on special occasions, and the preparation in the early stage is essential, and half a month is really not much.
The women saluted the queen again, and the queen touched Tuan Tuanyuan's head and said softly: "Sleepy or not?" Do you want to go back to sleep? ”
She had noticed from just now that the two children had rubbed their eyes more than once, and they looked like they hadn't taken a nap at noon, and they were sleepy, so instead of wasting time with these outsiders here, it was better to go back and coax them to sleep.
Before leaving, the queen also specially called Qin Shuang, and the reason used was also particularly high-sounding: "The prince will have to take medicine later, Qin Shuang, you go and decoct the medicine for the prince in person." ”
Qin Shuang agreed without objection: "Yes." ”
At this time, the nobles who were thinking about the palace banquet were not as concerned as much about Qin Shuang's ability to live in the prince's east palace, and when they heard that the queen mother actually asked Qin Shuang to decoct the prince in person, they were even more gloating that the queen mother really just liked the two children, but she didn't have a good impression of Qin Shuang.
Otherwise, how could he obviously let the people of Tai Hospital do things, but deliberately let Qin Shuang do it himself? It is clear that it is intended to embarrass the other party.
In contrast, not only did they not have to do what these minions should do, but they were much luckier when they got a chance to show off in front of the prince and attract his attention.
They would never have thought that it was not the queen who wanted Qin Shuang to decoct the prince in person, and the queen also felt sorry for Qin Shuang, a good daughter-in-law, and felt that these things could be handed over to the palace maids and eunuchs of the imperial hospital or the prince's east palace, but Qin Shuang insisted on doing so.
First, in order to make the medicine fully exert its efficacy, the order of the medicinal materials and the heat need to be strictly controlled, she is afraid that others will not do well, and second, she is also afraid that someone will do something in the middle.
Although she has a system in hand, as long as she confirms that it is not talked about by others before giving Ah Chen medicine, there will be no problem, but just in case, she still has to do it herself.
