Volume 1 The Great Dream Chapter 12: The Flower Appreciation Festival
"The courtiers are willing to be the first to perform." The young lady who spoke looked sweet, and there was still a bit of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, but she was only thirteen years old, and Lin Wanyue next to her told her that this was Miss Wu Ruonan from the General's Mansion.
It turned out to be the daughter of the General's Mansion, no wonder her bearing is extraordinary.
Wu Ruonan danced with a wooden sword, although he was still young, but the dance was very exciting, although he held a sword in his hand, his body was light and more like dancing, beautiful and sassy, giving people a refreshing feeling, Qing Huan would not appreciate it and felt very exciting, the queen also began to appreciate the general's mansion women who did not let the eyebrows be bearded, and also rewarded a bracelet, Wu Ruonan did not twist, and went down after receiving the reward.
Shangguan Yuyou was present, everyone was already eager to try, some people started, and people kept going up. Qing Huan watched it when it was boring, Qing Xi and Qing stood up, and the two sisters performed a show together, Qing Xi played the piano, and danced clearly. It's really the aura of a sister, and as soon as she goes up, she is praised non-stop.
Most of the ladies present knew the two young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they only praised Zhao's good fortune, the two daughters were as beautiful as flowers and versatile, and the Zhao family couldn't close their mouths when they complimented them, and their eyes went straight to Shangguan Yuyou, and the powder on their faces shook and almost fell.
Qingxi took the piano and tried the sound, and it was clear that she had changed her clothes, even if Qinghuan hated it, she had to admit that the second sister who changed her dance clothes had a different flavor, she was a woman, and she was a little stupid.
Qing Xi didn't plan to play the piano at first, but she changed her mind when she heard that the big county lord was not going to perform today, because she had also practiced piano skills for many years, and other talents could not be compared with this. What's more, the prince is present today, she naturally wants to show what she is best at, and selfishly feels that she and the lord of the big county are the same people who love the qin, and the mountains and rivers meet the bosom friend, maybe they can move around more in the future, and if they are invited to the Xuanwang Mansion, they will have more opportunities to meet the prince. Thinking of this, Qing Xi's face began to turn red.
The two of them lived up to expectations, and won full applause after the performance, and because of the thin dance clothes, they looked even more pitiful, but the queen mother had not spoken, and the two of them did not dare to go down. The queen mother asked her to send the reward over, and said to the Zhao family: "Madame really raised two good daughters, and the cooperative performance was seamless, which was really wonderful." The sound of the piano is beautiful, and the dance is good, this palace is really envious, if this palace also has a daughter, I will definitely ask you for advice on how to raise a daughter. ”
Zhao hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Niangniang praises, the little girl really can't afford it." ”
The lady sitting next to the queen also spoke: "Mrs. Xiangye is modest, my Fei'er's girl boasts of her high piano skills, so she should learn from Ling Qianjin." There is also a second lady, who dances beautifully and is a beautiful embryo. Madame is really blessed. ”
Zhao was even more frightened: "The princess laughed, the little girl is only shallow in her education, and she doesn't dare to compare with the county lord." ”
It turned out that person was Princess Xuan!
Receiving the princess's appreciation, Qingxi's heart was pounding, and his eyes unconsciously aimed towards Shangguan Yuyou. However, Shangguan Yuyou looked like he didn't care about himself, and he didn't even look at it, which made the beauty sad.
Before the queen and Princess Xuan could speak, Shangguan Yuyou opened her mouth: "I heard that there are three young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I don't know how talented the third young lady is?" ”
"Yushizi, the third lady has been weak since she was a child, and the courtier's upbringing is mainly to maintain her body, and she has never practiced her talents." The Zhao family was smart, and immediately understood that it was probably the prince of Xuan Wang who proposed that Qing Huan also participate in the flower appreciation banquet, as for why he did this, the Zhao family didn't care. In Zhao's eyes, Qing Huan can't compare with her daughter no matter what, if the prince falls in love with Qing Huan, she will definitely not believe it. Qing Huan lost her mother since she was a child, and now she may not even be able to write, let alone perform, it doesn't matter if she makes a fool of Zhao, but she is worried that because of Qing Huan's ugliness, it will affect the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and even more so the impression of her two daughters in the eyes of everyone, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, they are sisters.
Qing Xi saw her mother's refusal, and had already guessed a little bit of her mother's intentions, but it was different, the last time she saw Qing Huan throw the piece of paper into the yard, on which was her name written with a brush, it can be said that it was crooked and twisted, and it was even more expected that if Qing Huan was allowed to come to power at this time, it would definitely be ugly, so Ying Ying saluted and said: "Back to the queen, princess, the courtiers think that the third sister should be given a chance, after all, everyone has already come, maybe the sister is ready before entering the palace." ”
The queen mother said: "The second lady is reasonable, there are no outsiders here, and this palace liked these boudoir talents the most when I was a child, and I often learned from each other with my sisters. ”
Zhao Shi glanced at her clearly, she immediately lowered her head, but she was secretly happy in her heart, as if she had seen Qing Huan standing on the stage at a loss.
Zhao looked over at Qing Huan and shouted, "Qing Huan, come and see Niangniang." Qing Huan walked over slowly, and when he passed in front of Shangguan Yufei, he deliberately gave a look. Zhao affectionately took Qinghuan's hand and saluted with her, the queen mother and Princess Xuan were a little surprised, probably because they didn't expect that the appearance of this third lady was more outstanding than the two sisters, and they were looking forward to her performance at this time.
If you want to talk about talent, the only thing Qing Huan can do is probably only to sing a song, not to mention a blockbuster, it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with it, so he said to the people above: "Hui Niangniang, the courtiers have lost their mothers since they were young, but the songs that their mothers often sang when they were children can still remember now, since the ladies and ladies are interested, the courtiers have no choice but to sacrifice their ugliness." ”
Qing Huan saw the two sisters with a look of disdain, she must have thought that she was fooling casually, or she thought that she didn't know the height of the sky, and she also took a random children's song to offer her ugliness, but Qing Huan didn't care, and continued to the queen and everyone: "The queen mother, now the three spring are in full bloom, and the courtiers are invited to the mother, the mother is comparable to the peony in the flower, graceful and luxurious, peerless and beautiful, and the courtier will sing a song for everyone in the house to welcome the arrival of the peony flower god, and hope that the peony flower god will be blessed to the queen." However, the courtiers have a reluctant request, only singing is cold, I want to ask the lord of the county to stroke the qin on his behalf, and the piano and music are integrated to live up to the spring. I wonder if the mother agrees? ”
The queen glanced at Princess Xuan, and Princess Xuan smiled: "The third lady is sweet and cute, Fei'er, what do you say?" ”
Shangguan Yufei had already stood up and replied, "The queen's mother, mother, and sons are willing to play for Qinghuan's sister." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, the lord of the big county played the piano, but not everyone was blessed to hear it, and now he was willing to touch the piano for a little-known Miss Xiangfu, everyone was not only stunned, but more still looking forward to it, of course, among these people, it does not include Qingxi.
Qing Xi hated it clearly in his heart at this moment, he had just finished playing, if Shangguan Yufei made a move, everyone would probably immediately forget the praise she had just received. What's more, Qing Huan did not shirk nervously, but generously agreed to perform, who knows what the result will be, and in the end, it is very likely to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. Qing seemed to be aware of it, but it was too late to stop it at this time, because Shangguan Yufei had already asked everyone to wait and asked Qing Huan to accompany her to play the piano.
Shangguan Yufei asked on the way, "Qinghuan, which tune do you want me to play?" ”
Qing Huan thought for a while, at this time, it may be difficult to sing those popular songs to be appreciated, so I can only pick the more classical, at this time I thought of Faye Wong's "Qingping Tune", so he replied: "The song I want to sing, I'm afraid my sister hasn't played it." ”
Yu Fei smiled dumbly: "My sister doesn't know, I've been a piano idiot since I was a child, and I've heard and seen and played more than a thousand songs, so let's listen to it." ”
Qing Huan smiled: "The name of the song is "Qingping Tune", I will sing a few words softly to my sister first." As he spoke, he whispered two lines.
Shangguan Yufei really didn't hear it: "I know it, if it's really someone outside the world, although I haven't heard it, this song is not difficult to play, and it is rare that the lyrics and songs are beautiful and fascinating." I don't have time to go into detail now, but when it's over, you can talk to me about this song "Qingping Tune". ”
"Sister, don't worry, I will talk to my sister in detail when I have time."
Although it was only a short time away, everyone felt that they had been waiting for a long time, and when the two of them sat down, the field began to quiet down, Shangguan Yufei started first, the sound of the piano together, everyone listened with bated breath, and slowly entered with the melody, as if they saw the scene of a hundred flowers blooming in the garden, just when everyone was intoxicated with the sound of the piano, Qinghuan's singing slowly drifted into their ears: "The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, the spring breeze blows Revlon, if it is not for the jade mountain, it will meet the moon in Yaotai." A branch of red dew condenses incense, Yunyu Wushan breaks his intestines in vain, and asks who in the Han Palace has it, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup. The famous flowers are happy with each other, and the king looks at it with a smile, explaining that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion is leaning on the north of the gan. Explain that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion is leaning on the north of the gan. ”
After the singing stopped, Shangguan Yufei slowly changed the tone, and when the last note stopped, there was no sound at the scene, and everyone was obviously intoxicated by the sound of the piano like a song, and also intoxicated by the ethereal singing of Qinghuan. In the end, it was the queen mother who applauded first, and everyone guessed that they slowly came back to their senses and applauded, and even Shangguan Yuyou turned from disdain at the beginning to dumbfounded.
The queen mother opened her mouth and asked: "The voice of nature is nothing more than that, I didn't expect there to be such a blessing today, this is really the song that the third lady listened to her mother sing when she was a child?" Mrs. Yun still has such talent, but I don't know who wrote the lyrics and songs? ”
"Back to the queen's mother, this is indeed sung by the courtier's mother." Qing Huan began to talk nonsense: "Later, my mother disappeared, and the courtiers were bored, so I looked for some books to pass the time, and I saw this poem, and I thought that my mother had seen it before." ”
The queen asked: "Oh, this song is still a little sad, I don't know who the beauty of the famous flower is mentioned in the poem?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, this poem describes the vigorous love and hate between a beauty like a peony flower and a king, the timing is not right today, and when he has the opportunity to tell the courtiers and Niangniang." Qing Huan replied.
The queen suddenly became interested, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I will invite you into the palace alone another day, today's performance is not bad, Fei'er's piano is also played well, tell me, what reward do you two want?" ”
Qing Huan thought of his marriage contract, but the Hou Mansion was now unclear, and it was inconvenient for him to say it first, so he spoke: "Niangniang, the courtiers hope to ask for a decree, hoping that when they encounter a major choice in life in the future, they can have a chance to regret it." ”
The queen didn't expect that Qing Huan would sell a pass, but it was just a chance to regret it, for the queen's mother, this is nothing: "Oh? It's also a novelty, and this palace has allowed it! ”
