Chapter 187: The Banquet for the Selection of Concubines (3)

Thinking about it, Bai Jinxiu pursed her lips a little and took a small sip, but it was really too spicy. Bai Jinxiu's tears were about to fall, Bai Jinlian handed Bai Jinxiu a handkerchief, it seemed that her actions were discovered by Bai Jinlian. Bai Jinxiu whispered: "Sixth sister, thank you very much!" Bai Jinlian smiled and shook her head, you're welcome, they are all their own sisters, and this scene was seen by Lu Liancheng not far away.

Lu Liancheng hooked his lips and looked at it, and the Queen Mother smiled slightly and looked at the female dependents of the civil and military officials sitting below. I haven't seen such a lively scene in years, and the last time it seems to be a big wedding of the Holy One. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and nothing has been so complete. The Queen Mother's heart was a little sad and emotional. This year is really a good year, the Queen Mother prayed for the peace of the country and the country, the wind and rain, and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

This is the most important thing, thinking that the Queen Mother is smiling and drinking. It's really good, it's in a good mood, and it's good to drink anything. In previous years, it was the Holy Lord's banquet to invite ministers who had contributed to the court to bring their ladies into the palace. This year, it is to choose concubines for the four princes, which is so complete. The Queen Mother also knows the thoughts of the saints. After all, the princes are also old, and when it comes to choosing a concubine, the eldest prince is thirty out of twenty. should also choose a concubine, and you can't blame the queen, the queen has also been bitter all these years, and the queen mother knows that she won't blame the queen.

"I'm very happy today, I don't know which young lady is performing for me and you, if the performance is good. I'm going to be rewarded, the best young lady, and I'll fulfill one of her requests. What do you think? Which lady would like to perform? "The words of the Holy are stirring up a thousand waves, and the conditions of the Holy are temptations. is not only a public performance, but also the Queen Mother and the Holy Lady in front of the ministers and female dependents.

If the performance is good, it is not only famous in the capital, but more importantly, there are rich rewards. The holy Chrysostom naturally will not regret it. In fact, the saint is also testing all the ladies to see which concubines are suitable to be the prince, and those are the side concubines. Today is to choose one by one, otherwise, it will be troublesome in the future. Let's do it today! And the saint believes that there must be a lot of young ladies who are willing.

The saint also said that the best woman can make a request to the saint, which is what many people dream of. Meng Shi hurriedly touched Bai Jinya, "Ya'er, you hurry up." "Lian's side is too, but they don't take into account that they don't teach Bai Jinya and Bai Jinwen on weekdays, how can they be? They want to go themselves, but they won't at all, isn't that a shame?

However, Ma Tianshi, who was sitting next to Wu, wanted to participate, "Shi'er, are you ready?" Wu looked at Ma Tianshi nervously, Ma Tianshi stared at Yu Wufeng with all his heart. A pale pink tunic with double butterflies and flowers, a peach-colored brocade collar embroidered with fine plum blossoms, a red silk silk skirt underneath, a snow-white brocade beaded ribbon tied around the waist, and hair loosely pulled up. There was a royal blue tucui peacock hanging hairpin slanted in his hair, and Wu was still very satisfied with Ma Tianshi.

King Zhennan gently gestured towards the Wu family, and the Wu family didn't seem to see it. Ma Tianshi actually wanted to let Ma Tianze come out, but his mother Wu was very worried about Ma Tianze, who was his eldest brother. During the Chinese New Year, the Wu family was really pitiful. Ma Tianshi felt very sorry for the Wu family, if he could, Ma Tianze hoped to choose one, and the other was to marry the second prince Yu Wufang.

The other is to ask Ma Tianze not to think about it behind closed doors for a year, so that the Wu family can be more relaxed. Mrs. Taishi, Mrs. Wang, was anxious and said in Li Yanran's ear: "Yanran, you listen to your mother's words, you also go up to perform, and your mother believes that you must be able to." Li Yanran was a little nervous and didn't know whether to go up or not. subconsciously looked at He Mingyu, He Mingyu is Concubine Li's niece.

The Wang family has always been friendly with the Ming family, so Li Yanran wants to see if He Mingyu goes, and if He Mingyu goes, he will also go up. But if He Mingyu didn't go, Li Yanran would also be a little nervous. However, Bai Jinxiu didn't think of performing, and the saint must be testing everyone's beauty. However, Yu Linglong glanced at Bai Jinxiu, hoping that Bai Jinxiu would go quickly.

Bai Jinxiu smiled shallowly, not wanting to look at Yu Linglong's expectations of herself. The saint said softly: "Have you thought about it, young ladies?" I mean what I say, even if you don't perform well, I will reward you, and the same is true for the queen, isn't it? "Now it's the husband and the wife," Of course, as long as it comes down to perform for you, no matter which lady in the house, the palace will reward fifty boxes of beauty cream and a thousand taels of gold! ”

The queen said with a smile, believing that there will be brave men under the heavy reward. But a lot of ladies are ready to move and want to come up. Not only can you perform and become famous, but you can also get rich rewards. Naturally, he was willing, and the first one to come up was naturally He Mingyu, who slowly possessed himself: "Participate in the Queen Mother, the Holy One, all the Niangniang!" "Alright, get up! Raise your head and show the mourners. ”

He Mingyu raised his head nervously and showed it to the Queen Mother, sure enough, it was Ming's daughter. It is the majesty of their Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Queen Mother smiled shallowly: "Okay, let's start!" Everyone was looking forward to it, and Wang looked at Li Yanran angrily: "Yanran, have you seen it?" Now the great opportunity was snatched away by He Mingyu. The Wang family hated that iron could not be made of steel, and looked at Li Yanran.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Wouldn't it be nice for Mingyu to go up now? You just looked at Mingyu intently, I'm not in a hurry. But Wang's face turned even paler, "You girl, you're not joking with me, if you don't go up, you turn your head to look at your sister, you're going to go up." Don't embarrass me, prepare the second one right away!" ”

Wang didn't joke with Li Yanran, "Okay, okay, mother, I'll listen to you." We had a good look at the bright jade. Ming's heart is very proud, and the daughter he gave birth to is the first. It can be regarded as not embarrassing the Queen Mother and Concubine Li, but they won glory today in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Thinking that Ming's family was happy, he looked at He Mingyu intently.

He Mingyu accompanied the slow sound of the zither. One step, two steps, slowly spinning. The wind blew, her green silk gradually flew, and under the moonlight, she became more and more charming and lonely. There are pink beads on his head, and he is crumbling. The beautiful phoenix eyes were full of indifference, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile. She is like an elf dancer, and every movement is so exciting. She is like a lonely fairy, with light makeup and a faint smile, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone was fascinated by it, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After He Mingyu ended, everyone applauded one after another. The saint applauded applauded: "Sure enough, it's good, it's worthy of being my niece, it's good, it's good, it's good, there's a reward." "Thank you, Holy Ron!" He Mingyu's heart was very nervous, when he was in the mansion on weekdays, Ming's requirements for He Mingyu were very strict. Maybe it was just waiting for this time, Concubine Li was casting He Mingyu's satisfied eyes.

Yu Lianxin, who was beside Concubine Li, looked at He Mingyu angrily, "Hmph! What's the big deal! It seems that he looks down on He Mingyu, or he doesn't want to hear the saint praise He Mingyu so much. Concubine Li hurriedly turned her head and looked at Yu Lianxin reproachfully, "Xin'er, you don't look at what occasion it is now, some things can be said and some things can't be said, you know?" ”

Yulian Xin pouted, "Mother, Xin'er knows, Xin'er doesn't talk nonsense." But Yu Lianxin's heart was not satisfied, what was that, it could actually be praised by her father and grandmother. Hum! It's just the niece of the father, and the father is complimenting. Yulian Xin was very disdainful, taking the reward from the queen and the saint to herself, He Mingyu returned to her seat, and now He Mingyu felt very comfortable.

I don't know how many people look at their eyes with some envy, which makes He Mingyu feel good. I also want to thank Ming, and Ming also looked at He Mingyu with a smile. It's also a shame that he has cultivated He Mingyu a lot, which is really good. However, Wang looked at Li Yanran anxiously, "Yanran, you hurry up!" Hurry up! Otherwise, you won't have a second chance, go ahead. ”

The Wang family kept urging Li Yanran, and at the same time, the Meng family and the Lian family were also urging their daughters-in-law. But at this time, Concubine Li spoke softly: "Holy Lord, the concubine heard that Bai Guifei's niece is the first beauty in the capital, I don't know if she came today?" After speaking, she still glanced at Bai Guifei inadvertently, although Bai Guifei said that she was following Bai Wenyuan to make trouble, she felt uncomfortable.

But now in front of the ministers, Concubine Li is nakedly provoking herself. If you don't speak, then you don't want to go. Of course, Concubine Li didn't dare to find the queen's stubble, after all, the queen is the mother of a country. There is also the Queen Mother here, and Bai Guifei is different. The queen mother doesn't like Bai Guifei very much, so Concubine Li can completely say it, and the saint looks at the queen meaningfully.

This is not the person that the queen likes, why is Concubine Li making a fuss now. However, the saint still looked at Bai Wenyuan lightly: "Bai Aiqing, I don't know if the second girl Bai is here?" Bai Wenyuan's heart was for a while, knowing that Bai Jinxiu could not be free today. Bai Wenyuan said softly: "Qiqi Sheng, the little girl is here." As he spoke, he motioned for Bai Jinxiu to come out and greet the saint.

Although Bai Jinxiu was under pressure in her heart, she was reluctant to do so. But there is no way, now she has been forced to come out, but Bai Jinxiu is thinking about what kind of heart this Concubine Liniang has. Do you want to perform by yourself, Meng Shi and Bai Jinya looked at Bai Jinxiu angrily. Looking at Bai Jinxiu, it doesn't take a little effort to get out of the limelight, hum! Lian and Bai Jinwen also used the same eyes.

Slowly, Bai Jinxiu asked the saint and the queen mother to say goodbye, "Second Miss Bai, although this palace has always been out of the deep palace, but for your rumors, this palace has heard a lot. It is really a privilege to be able to meet Miss Bai Er today. Concubine Li looked at Bai Jinxiu with a smile, "Concubine Li is polite!" Xiu'er is terrified! Bai Jinxiu was a little flustered and possessed in front of Concubine Li.

Yu Lianxin is disdainful, hum! Thinking that when he was at the banquet in the Dingguo Mansion, Bai Jinxiu played very well with Yu Linglong, and he ignored himself at all. I had no choice but to play with Bai Jinxian, but now it's good, Bai Jinxian has passed away. I really can't believe it, but what is my mother going to do? Why do you want to mention Bai Jinxiu, Yu Lianxin subconsciously looked at Concubine Li.

Wondering in her heart, what kind of medicine was sold in the concubine's gourd, Yu Lianxin stared at Bai Jinxiu fiercely, and of course Bai Jinxiu also felt this glimmer of gaze. Bai Guifei said lightly: "Xiu'er is the first beauty, then give us a show to help the fun." "What does Bai Guifei mean by this, Bai Wenyuan looked at Bai Guifei with some annoyance, is this to make Bai Jinxiu embarrassed?

Bai Jinxiu has a few catties and taels, naturally Bai Wenyuan knows. But the corners of Bai Jinxiu's mouth hooked up an evil smile, it seems that Bai Guifei also wants to make a fool of herself. In Baifu, there is not much cultivation in this area. Now in front of many people, if you can't perform it yourself. Isn't that humiliating? Yu Linglong is nervous for Bai Jinxiu, I don't know what Bai Jinxiu should do now?

Yu Linglong looked at Concubine Li and Bai Guifei angrily, but there was no good person, obviously knowing that Bai Jinxiu couldn't perform. Now he is pushing the white brocade up, and the weasels are giving New Year's greetings to the chickens one by one, and they are not happy. However, Lu Liancheng and Yu Wufeng and others were looking forward to it, but Helian Ming was a little nervous for Bai Jinxiu. Helian Mingzhu seemed to feel Helian Ming's uneasiness.

"What's wrong with you, Ming'er, does it matter with you? It's just the concubine of Baifu! Helian Mingzhu obviously doesn't know much now, but Helian Ming hurriedly told Helian Mingzhu that the person who followed him to do business in partnership was Bai Jinxiu. Now that Bai Jinxiu is embarrassed, he naturally wants to help. Because Bai Jinxiu is not very favored in Baifu.

Helian Ming was still clear about this, but Helian Mingzhu was obviously surprised to look at Helian Ming. "What you said is true, but you didn't lie to Dad!" Immediately, he looked at Helian Ming seriously, "Dad, how could I lie to you!" Of course it's true, I can swear to God, when we get home, we show you our notes, and you'll believe it. Dad, you have to help with the embroidery. ”

Helian Ming also didn't follow Helian Mingzhu in circles, "How do you want Dad to help her?" Helian Mingzhu looked at Helian Mingzhu directly, and Helian Ming looked at Helian Mingzhu with some distress: "Dad, otherwise you will interrupt the saint, okay?" "Go and create interference, Helian Mingzhu looked at Helian Ming. Very few begged for themselves, but now they are actually begging for themselves for a self they don't know.

Maybe in Helian Ming's heart, Bai Jinxiu's status is not ordinary. Helian Mingzhu said softly: "Okay, since you have opened your mouth, my father will naturally agree to you, but now we are waiting to see what happens, if it doesn't work for a while, how about Dad go and help her!" "Thank you, Dad! Thank you Dad! Helian Ming thanked Helian Mingzhu again and again, if he had a mother, it would naturally be better.

It's a pity that there is no mother, and Wu is also annoyed to look at Bai Jinxiu. After the first He Mingyu went up, Wu urged Ma Tianshi to go up. Ma Tianshi is good, I don't want to go up, I have to wait until the end to go up, but now it's good. The limelight has been taken away by others, and it is really angry that the Wu family is angry, Bai Jinxiu is gently possessed: "Xiu'er obeys the order!" ”

Bai Jinxiu agreed to the saint, and Concubine Li and Bai Guifei looked like they were watching a good show. At this time, the queen mother said softly: "Second Miss Bai, we are looking forward to your performance, just now Concubine Li recommended you to perform." I don't know if the second girl Bai performs well in a while, what reward will Sister Concubine Li have? "Is this a naked solidarity with Bai Jinxiu?

The saint looked at Concubine Li gently, and it was indeed Concubine Li who took the initiative. I made Bai Jinxiu ugly, and I want to reward Bai Jinxiu myself, isn't that a joke? It's impossible, so now Concubine Li is smile and said, "Queen Mother, please rest assured, I am naturally preparing a rich reward for Miss Bai Er." "But in front of the saint and the queen mother, can Concubine Li still break her word?

"I hope that Sister Concubine Li will not forget, the Queen Mother, the Holy Lord, you have to witness to the concubine!" The corners of the queen's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, naturally she was willing. Bai Wenyuan's heart was nervous, and he didn't know how Bai Jinxiu, the child, agreed. But if you don't agree, the reputation of Baifu will be gone. Bai Wenyuan is also in a dilemma, but Concubine Li is really hateful.

Now he is deliberately embarrassing Bai Mansion, I don't know where Bai Mansion offended Concubine Li. Let Concubine Li be so embarrassed by Baifu. Bai Jinxiu pulled her hair into a hanging cloud bun, and inserted a hairpin like snow jade diagonally, and wore a curved moon ornament. The clear and affectionate Ling Bo eyes, the cherry lips with Dan like flowers, the skin is like condensation, and the eyebrows are like ink drawings. No fat powder, but so pure, so moving.

Wearing a jade white feather gauze water sleeve shirt, with small carved gold fine lines on the sleeves, constituting the style of flying clouds. Under the tunic moon white scattered flower skirt, there are a few blue poppies at the corners of the skirt, revealing a bit of rigidity and tragic. Looking at the people who looked at her, the Queen Mother, the Holy Lady, the Queen Mother, and other princes and nobles, many people, Bai Jinxiu didn't care, just danced by herself.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were shining, and he showed a faint but somewhat sweet smile. A smile fell into the city. Begin to dance to the music, under the light of the full moon and the embellishment of the stars, dance. Spinning, the skirt spreads out like mist, and like a blooming water lily, a little lazy, swaying in the wind. Laughing, there is a hint of satisfaction, and there is a hint of firmness. Perhaps, I will continue to dance like this forever and be a dancer forever. No one spoke, they kept watching, much better than He Mingyu had to dance before, awesome! (To be continued.) )
