Chapter 379: Picking Girls to Perform
As expected by the emperor's concubines, the first girl to pick up beautiful clothes, the sound of the flying fairy bun, the girl who passed five levels and cut six will enter the Xiuzhuo Palace, of course, has no problem with her appearance, even if she is separated from the wide palace, she also feels that the snow skin and flowers, the shoulders and waist are pleasing to the eye.
Just a little more attention to its pace, I feel a little too nervous.
So much so that when I walked into the field, the tassels that swayed between my hair swayed freely.
It's an uncontrollable tremble.
Chunjia's expression was indifferent, but the queen took the lead in sinking her face, although she didn't say anything, her displeasure was overflowing.
Not only the queen, but the concubines didn't know what to expect when they saw this scene?
So except for Yun Fenghuang's calm face, no sorrow or joy, there is one in the entire harem, and none of them give a good face.
In addition, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is not a royal family banquet, and there are ministers sitting below.
It's not that the courtiers didn't see the queen's intentions and pity the newcomer, but in front of the emperor, who dared to put on such a thought? One by one, they sat upright, their faces serious.
I can't wait to put a sign on my face, indicating that I just appreciate the singing and dancing skills, and I have no intention of coveting the quasi-concubines.
So in the eyes of this first girl, none of the eyes that came from all directions at this moment were amiable or supportive.
Especially when she peeked up, the emperor and queen didn't have any expression, although the concubine didn't show dissatisfaction, she obviously didn't care, and the entire Wen Yao Palace seemed to be telling about her dissatisfaction and disdain.
A good family from a poor family, stranger relatives have to avoid it, where have you seen this battle?
She has not yet set up a dancing shelf, and the cold sweat has already washed her makeup, seeing this, the queen suddenly frowned, and put the wine cup on the table lightly...... With such a beginning, the next can be imagined!
After exiting the palace gate, she only felt that her whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and she was aggrieved and annoyed and afraid, so she pinched her palm hard, and then she couldn't hold back her whimpering and hurriedly avoided it.
The next two and third are all about the same performance.
Among them, there is even a Jiang family's daughter, who is a close relative of Yun Fenghuang, the daughter of her uncle, named Jiang Ruigu. Seven years younger than her, before she left the Northland, she went to Jiang's house for the New Year's holidays, and Aunt Jiang Rui was led out by her cousins to salute her.
Looking carefully at this time, such as the girl she was old when she first entered the palace, her eyebrows and handsome eyes, as pavilion as the moon, and her eyebrows could vaguely distinguish her appearance when she was young.
It's just that although the Jiang family is also a well-known family in the countryside, Jiang Ruigu has never seen such a scene, because she is not the first to appear, although she made some preparations after knowing the situation later, she did not tremble too much and fell into the shooting, but she also made frequent mistakes.
In the end, he also retired in embarrassment.
Yun Fenghuan's face was not very good, and he turned his head sideways and asked the queen in a low voice: "Niangniang has good intentions for the Jiang family?" ”
"The former one is someone from this side of the main palace." Gu Zhen said very calmly, "The palace said that from the girl to the concubine, how can it be possible without some ability?" You are promoted quickly, but how much did you pay when you were promoted from the palace concubine to Jieyu? If you really let these girls dance casually, sing a song and play the piano, they will be concubines, do you think, fair? ”
Of course that's not fair!
Yun Feng said in her heart, in order to be a concubine at that time, she left the fate of her heirs behind!
Why can these poor families take advantage of the situation and easily seal the concubine?
But she refused to say so: "Just because the concubine came out of the cold family, she knows best how difficult it is for the good family of the poor family to gain a foothold in this palace!" The concubine has suffered by herself, so she naturally does not want the latecomers to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled coldly, "Of course, the queen mother is from a noble background, so she must be indifferent." After all, you are the daughter of Uncle Zhaowu, and you are Mrs. Yaoning when you enter the palace, when have you experienced the pain of our daughters from poor families? ”
"The daughter of the poor family next to her said that she has had a hard time since entering the palace, but Concubine Min said this, is it too humble?" Gu Zhen said lightly, "In the past two years, the palace has been up and down, regardless of what position and background, who hasn't looked at Concubine Min's face?" ”
Yun Fenghuang said coldly: "The concubine has this ability? So what is a mother? ”
Gu Zhen said: "What the facts are, justice is in the hearts of the people." You should know it in your heart! ”
"The concubine is ......" Yun Fenghuan was still about to return the mouth, and at this time, the first empress dowager suddenly said "hmm", and said softly: "This child is in the eyes of the mourning family." ”
The concubines were stunned, and hurriedly looked down, and Yun Fenghuan frowned slightly.
The co-author who was praised by the Queen Mother as fitting his eyes was Xie Runan!
Xie Runan talks about appearance, of course it will not be bad to be able to be elected to the palace, but to be honest, she is not top-notch.
This kind of non-top-notch does not mean that her appearance is only medium in this batch of girls, but that this girl's beauty has no characteristics.
It is the kind of extreme meanness, ordinary people think that the skin of a beauty is like condensation, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the eyes are like apricots...... She has it all. If you carefully pick out a bad spot from her, it really doesn't.
It's just that like a painter who is not very clever in painting, she lacks the vividness that a top beauty should have.
Such as Yi Xingen's peerless beauty, the bright and gorgeous Yunfeng Huang, Gu Zhen's heroic posture, Cui Lianye's high and elegant, and Concubine Jing's grace and dignity...... Xie Runan is the kind of person who no one can say that she is not beautiful, but it is difficult to be remembered.
She meets the requirements of beauty in every way, but she cannot be noticed by many of her companions who have a slight flaw in their appearance.
…… The Empress Dowager is used to seeing three generations of stunning beauty, herself, her nieces, and grandnieces are all beautiful and beautiful, will she feel that Xie Runan is a good match?
Yun Fenghuang quickly thought about what the Empress Dowager meant?
And the emperor and queen quickly pondered, when did the concubine get in touch with the empress dowager? 120
At the bottom, Xie Runan could see that he was also calming down.
Of course, she is stronger than the Jiang family's Xie family's female pickers, otherwise she would not become the storyteller of the two families as a junior.
But it is also limited, otherwise it will not be provoked and embarrassed.
At this time, I chose the pipa, and after a song, in short, it was useless.
It can be seen that Xie Runan is not satisfied with this result, although there is still a smile on his face, his eyes are very heavy.
This is also normal, Yun Fenghuang hinted before that he would fight for her concubine position and let her behave well.
At the moment, he felt that his performance was not good, Xie Runan naturally had to worry, would the concubine position he said be good because of this?
Just as she bowed down and retired, ready to leave when she heard the permission, she didn't want to hear the voice of an attendant from above, and she went up to the temple to meet her!
Xie Runan was shocked and rejoiced, she already knew outside that the girl in front of her did not perform well. But he was not punished.
Since this is the case, and the concubine is present, it is obviously unlikely that she will be reprimanded because she is not good enough.
That should be a good thing?
Xie Runan pondered while walking quickly to the temple, according to the etiquette he had learned these days, Ying Ying bowed down, and said hello crisply.
The emperor and the queen concubines were silent, only the queen mother didn't see their expressions, and she died as if nothing happened, and asked about the situation in a kind voice.
When she learned that Xie Runan's surname was Xie, it seemed that the Empress Dowager was also a little surprised, and subconsciously glanced at Yun Fenghuan, and then said: "Good boy, don't be afraid, the mourning family thinks that you fit your eyes, so they called up to talk...... Come and serve in the house of mourning. ”
This is a great grace, after all, no matter how perfunctory the relationship between the empress dowager and Chunjia is, as the filial piety mother, the grandmother of the Son of Heaven, her identity is placed here, even if she is the queen, she doesn't like it, and it is not good to serve her personally.
Xie Runan, a woman who has not yet been officially registered, let alone let her stand and serve, or let her kneel in front of the Queen Mother to serve, it is all lifting.
Since the fall of the Ji family, the empress dowager has not expressed her position on such an occasion for a long time, and this time she suddenly looked at Xie Runan differently, and the harem of the monarchs and ministers was a little surprised.
But Xie Runan, who was in charge, was slightly stunned for a moment, his eyes showed joy, but there were not too many surprises, he responded crisply, and walked forward, serving tea and pouring water.
Seeing this, many people exchanged meaningful glances, and kept suggesting that the other party looked at Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang's face sank like water at the moment, but she was quite helpless in her heart, she knew that the reason why Xie Runan reacted this must have been because she thought that this was her own arrangement......
It's not a big deal for such a distant niece to misunderstand, the key is that Chunjia and Gu Zhen seem to have misunderstood......
"What does the Empress Dowager want to do?" Yun Fenghuan had a thought in her heart, how did the queen think she was too lazy to pay attention to, but Chunjia's side still couldn't take the blame.
It's just that on this occasion, it's not good to go over and explain to the emperor in public, so I can only acquiesce first.
But she thought silently, "Is she deliberately blocking the palace, or does she have other plans?" ”
Xie Runan's matter disturbed everyone's train of thought very much, and everyone didn't pay much attention to the next few women, until a girl in a red dress entered, and then called a few more glances up and down.
The Qing people bowed to Yun Fenghuang and introduced him, saying that this was the person installed by the queen, surnamed Huang, and his father and brother were both soldiers of Dingbei, which was regarded as the old department of Zhao Wubo, but for various reasons, the official position was not high, and the family was not obvious, so it was still the rank of the cold family.
This Huang's appearance is very outstanding, she is the kind of beautiful person with bright eyes and good looks, and she is the most generous girl who has appeared so far.
The Hu Xuan Dance is also very tasteful, and it can be seen that it should have been learned a little earlier, not just a pure grinding gun.
"The girl who has a close relationship with the queen's mother, in addition to the Huang family and the two who just performed badly, there is also a Gao family, which is ranked behind." Qingren muttered, "This Huang family is quite kind despite his appearance, but he has many subordinate methods in private. That Jiang Cainu was almost forced by her to make a big deal out of it. If it weren't for the hard stubble of Jiang Cainu, the maid would tell the truth, I'm afraid that our nephew won't be able to get her. ”
Yun Fenghuang said lightly: "This is normal. Her father and brother were born in the army, even if the family is not obvious, they have seen the scene. My Xie's lintel is no longer as good, not to mention a man or a remote side branch? ”
He also said, "That Jiang Cainu is in the limelight these days, no matter what the Huang family thinks in their hearts, they are still so calm on the scene, which shows the depth of the city." For example, men are not worse than one or two points. The turmoil in Xiuzhuo Palace these days has nothing to do with them, there are only more people today, and they are not the first to come up, but they are trembling one by one...... Alas! ”
Qingren asked in a low voice: "Then do you want to find a chance for Chen Jing to ......?" ”
"You have been in the palace for a few years, how can you still have the same temper as those children in Aunt Rui?" Yun Fenghuang glanced at her and said lightly, "Now that Jiang Cainu is released, she will definitely not be able to get along with them, why do you want us to charge into battle?" Could it be that it is good for us to give Jiang Cainu an opponent in addition to him? ”
The master and servant talked in a low voice, and the queen over there coughed dryly, then leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What does the concubine think of this Huang family?" ”
Yun Fenghuan glanced at her, knowing that she wanted to promote the Huang family to the concubine position, her mind turned, and she said noncommittally: "I heard that there is a high-ranking girl below, who is also extremely talented and clever, why don't you wait until you finish reading it and let the concubine judge?" ”
The queen was about to speak, who knew that there were palace people who looked anxious to enter, and walked to the Danqi with a trembling voice, saying: "Gao Cainu has just been sick and fainted!" ”
"......" The Empress Dowager and Chunjia didn't worry about these things, and said a few words without caring when they heard the words, just let the next one do.
As for this fainting past, she missed the opportunity, and she is not a well-known character, which deserves the attention of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and makes an exception, then of course even if she can't do it.
The faces of the queen and the concubine were a little delicate.
"Mother, what a good means." Yun Feng calmed down, covered his mouth with a fan, leaned over, and teased in a low voice, "As if I knew the thoughts of the concubine early in the morning, something happened to this high-ranking girl, but it was just right?" ”
Gu Zhen's face was ugly, and he was silent for a moment before he said coldly: "You and I have been together for many years, and there are some words, but they are just a waste of words, and there is no need to say them!" It's come to this, just make a statement! What do you think of this Huang? ”
