Chapter Ninety-Five: State Banquet II
The first one to take the initiative to go on stage turned out to be Sun Ronghua of the Sun family, only to see her move lightly onto the dance floor, and the maidservant girl on the side hugged the guqin. She sat down slowly, tuned her voice, and showed a serious and meticulous look on her face, although she was the first to come to the stage, and she was in full view, but she did not panic at all. It seems that there is only her and her guqin between heaven and earth.
Seeing that the Queen Mother and the Emperor both nodded secretly, admiring it in their hearts.
The slender white jade fingers gently plucked the strings, and a string of beautiful melodies suddenly floated in the hall, and her perfect silhouette of 360 degrees without dead ends on both the front and side faces, with the perfect figure, people couldn't help but think of the words "Guose Tianxiang".
This image alone makes it impossible to take your eyes off it. Regardless of Sun Ronghua's piano skills since childhood, he has been guided by a famous teacher, and it is clearly at the master level, and everyone is intoxicated by the melody.
Chen Jia was amazed in her heart, "It is worthy of being a woman who is specially trained to enter the palace, this kind of bearing is simply the life of being a natural imperial concubine." What's even more rare is that this piano art can definitely be called a master's preservation even in modern times! ”
At the end of the song, everyone nodded appreciatively. The emperor and the queen mother looked at Sun Ronghua with softer and more affectionate eyes, especially the emperor, which even gave people an illusion of affection.
Only the queen's face was cloudy. She clutched a handkerchief in her hand. Since she entered the palace, she has nowhere to go, and it is not as noble and stable as Concubine Hui next to her who has a son and a daughter. Now that the emperor is about to marry a newlywed, she is still such an outstanding woman, she only feels that her future position has become precarious.
Sun Ronghua slowly got up, returned to his seat and sat down, and everyone looked away with a sigh of relief.
Everyone was thinking about who would be next, but they saw Shi Hailing slowly walking onto the dance floor like a beautiful elf. She made a gesture gracefully, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded. I saw that she raised two hands one after another, one high and one low, slowly spinning, and began a fascinating dance. Chen Jia looked at the classical, elegant, and agile dance, with her soft and vivid expression. So that everyone didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of startling the dancing elf.
Yelu Chumeng felt that his heart was about to melt, such a perfect woman, if it was his own woman, she must be holding it in the palm of her hand. His eyes kept following Shi Hailing, even if she sat back in her place after dancing, he still looked at Shi Hailing without blinking, causing everyone next to him to see it and talk about it.
Chen Jia also pouted, how could these three princes be so rude? She had obviously forgotten that she had just been stunned.
"Who's next?" Chu Tianyu naturally saw Yelu Chumeng's ugly state, but at the state banquet, he couldn't be rude, so he could only ask questions, hoping to bring him back to his senses.
"The courtiers come first!"
"The courtiers come first!"
Sure enough, Yelu Chumeng removed his gaze from staring at Shi Hailing, and he began to stare at Wu Yaqin again.
Yang Zhaoxue and Wu Yaqin actually said that they wanted to perform at the same time. Wu Yaqin stepped forward, "Sister Yang, Yaqin is performing painting, what is my sister performing?" ”
"Zhao Xue is performing singing!" Yang Zhaoxue said lightly.
"Then Sister Yang will perform first. Yaqin can paint on the side. It does not affect Sister Zhaoxue's performance. Wu Yaqin said with a smile. Yang Zhaoxue also walked onto the stage, she was white and beautiful. Slim waist and hips. The musician who brought it set up the guqin and played it on the side, and Yang Zhaoxue also lightly opened her lips and began to sing.
It is said that the human voice is a natural musical instrument, Yang Zhaoxue's voice like olive oil is a unique and perfect instrument, she quickly attracted everyone's ears as soon as she opened her mouth, whether it is high or low, she is able to control it freely, and the conversion of true and false voices is also natural.
"Oh my God, she's definitely a big star in modern times!" In Chen Jia's ears, her voice is full of European and American style. The unique charm is endless. Chen Jia felt that she had become a fan she had captured all of a sudden.
At the end of the song, the voice was still stirring in everyone's hearts, and Chen Jia finally understood what it meant to go around the beam for three days?
"Yes, yes!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but praise. "I can't imagine that the three girls are so good, it's really hard to tell the difference!"
Chu Tianyu couldn't help nodding, and he was extremely satisfied with these three in his heart.
"The courtiers are also painted!" Wu Yaqin put down the pen and got up slowly. Her two maidservants carefully picked up the painting she had just painted, lifted it up and walked directly in front of the emperor and the queen mother.
"Go get it!" Chu Xiuyu was very interested in Wu Yaqin, and he motioned for Dexi to take the painting. Dexi hurriedly went down with another eunuch to take the painting and present it to the emperor, and the queen mother also admired it.
Everyone stretched their necks, only to see the emperor nodding incessantly, extremely satisfied with this painting.
"Take it down and give it to everyone Aiqing to admire!"
Everyone looked at the painting one after another, only to see that Wu Yaqin painted a majestic landscape. The high mountains and flowing waterfalls, the artistic conception really doesn't seem like a girl can have, let alone complete such a landscape map in just a few minutes.
Everyone sighed and praised: "Sure enough, she is the first talented woman in the capital!" ”
"Okay!" Chu Tianyu was very satisfied with the talents of these girls, and he had already begun to think about what positions would be more appropriate for these four to be selected into the palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister asked Jiang Taishi's righteous granddaughter to also perform a show. The Queen Mother also said just now that it is rare that the daughters of Jiang, Shi, Yang, and Sun are all present! The person who spoke turned out to be Wu Shaobao. Chen Jia felt a sense of surprise.
"Your daughter is not bad, although her appearance is not as good as those three, but her talent and bookish spirit can make up for the shortcomings, why are you dragging me into the water?" Chen Jia was very unhappy.
"Chen Jia, what are you going to perform?" Chu Tianyu almost forgot about Chen Jia's cunning. At this time, when I heard Wu Shaobao mention it, I was also very interested.
Chen Jia wanted to say that she was not going to perform any show. Joke, I'm still a kid, and I don't plan to draft, who has nothing to do to prepare for the show? She raised her eyes to look at the Taishi, but saw the Taishi frowning and thinking. She turned to look at Mrs. Jiang, who also seemed to be very dissatisfied with Wu Shaobao's suggestion, and she was having a cold face and an ugly face.
"Chen Jia did not prepare the show." Chen Jia said honestly. She raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, only to see that the Queen Mother also showed disappointment. She closed her eyes and sighed. It seems that Jiang Qian's clumsiness can't be hidden.
What can be performed? Qin himself will also, although he is not as skilled as Sun Ronghua, but he has novel tunes from his previous life, even if he can't beat her, he can be comparable. But the Sun family has a good relationship with herself, how can she do something in public. The same is true for performing singing, she still has Yang Zhaoxue's European and American olive oil voice in her heart, and now she can't do it if she is asked to steal the limelight with her idol. Dance is even more so. Shi Hailing is as innocent as an elf, how can she bear to compete with her?
