In the blink of an eye, it is the middle of May, the annual state banquet is coming, all the women in the capital have added jewelry, there is a palace banquet in the palace, the common people also have to gather to hold a folk banquet, each daughter has to perform, for a time, Chang'an Street is very lively.

In Shangshu Mansion, there are two waves of people who are busy with this matter.

Gu Qianyun used the dowry to buy a set of neon clothes and feathers for Yu Huanzhen, and spent a lot of money to ask the famous hairpin pavilion to create a set of head faces, Yu Huanzhen was already abnormally beautiful, and under the dress, she was even more bright and starry eyes, beads and hairpins, and she was a bright and glamorous beauty but always dignified and elegant, and the combination of the two contradictory temperaments made Yu Huanzhen more dazzling.

Gu Qianyun was very satisfied with it: "Huan'er is naturally beautiful, it really looks like when she was still in the boudoir."

Yu Huanzhen was shy when she heard this, but she became worried again: "Mother, you said, my sister-in-law..."

Gu Qianyun's face sank: "Don't mention her, in terms of beauty, she is inferior to you." comforted again: "Yuan Yi refuses to teach you, the musician your mother invited for you is also very famous, and you will be the first beauty after this state banquet."

Yu Huan was really determined, and returned to his previous dignified and calm.

And the other wave is Yu Xianqing.

Why?

Concubine Ji was not worried because she had been prepared. But Yu Xianqing's brother is very worried, my sister must not have much money in her hand, so how can she prepare jewelry and clothes by herself? Yu Xianqing looked around for beautiful clothes and jewelry, and when he bought them, he bought a lot of them, and called the little ones to send them one after another, which made Concubine Ji laugh.

Three days later, four inlaid purple wooden carriages stopped in front of the Shangshu Mansion, the palace banquet has arrived, and the men in the official positions in the palace have all entered the palace, and these four carriages are to pick up the ladies of the mansion.

Concubine Ji got into the carriage, so she quietly recuperated, and the incense burner emitted mist and white water vapor, and Concubine Ji slowly fell into a deep sleep.

"Drop, host, hypnotic powder has been added to the incense burner."

"System? It's you. ”

"Yes, the system will appear when the host is in danger."

"Thank you this time, otherwise I would have fallen into a trap." Concubine Ji was very grateful.

"The hypnotic powder is under Yu Huanzhen's faction, and also, the host your time has dragged on for too long, and the completion of the novice task is less than half", the system reminded that "Yu Huanzhen can't get revenge, and Yu Zhiyi's resentment value has not been able to fall, and it will also affect the host your points." ”

"Okay, I'll end it as soon as possible" Concubine Ji suddenly realized, she was still too 'gentle'.

After clearing the incense burner, Concubine Ji continued to think about how to take revenge on Yu Huanzhen as soon as possible.

The carriage stopped, and it was already at the palace.

Concubine Ji is different, although Concubine Ji is the second lady, she is the last carriage, and what she sees after she gets off the car is the palace with red tiles and blue bricks and golden splendor.

Gu Qianyun's voice was quiet: "When you arrive in the palace, you must be polite in your words and deeds, and you must not insult the reputation of Shangshu Mansion" After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.

Concubine Ji silently remembered the direction and had her own plans in her heart.

The Jiaofang Hall has not yet officially opened the banquet, and the ladies of the families are all dressed up, talking and laughing, and the ladies are also frolicking in groups.

Concubine Ji watched coldly, seeing that the situation was faintly divided into two camps. The noble daughter of the scholarly family headed by Yu Huanzhen is dignified and steady, noble and elegant, and the other party is a martial arts family headed by Huang Xinya, the "first beauty in Beijing", who is straightforward, straightforward, chic and bright.

A sound of "the queen mother has arrived" was sharp and high, interrupting Concubine Ji's thoughts.

And the people bowed respectfully.

Hanging lanterns, bright as day, Milky Way snow waves, brilliant jewelry, the fragrance of the dragon's birthday, the bottle inserted evergreen, a good royal atmosphere.

The queen's face softened: "Get up." After saying that, he slowly sat down, and the concubines behind him also took their seats, and for a while, a hundred flowers bloomed and laughed in the Jiaofang Palace.

After half a cup of tea, the emperor also came down to the court, behind him were a group of courtiers, and the emperor also smiled and said: "You don't have to be restrained, just treat it as your own family banquet!"

The hall is already pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the dancing steps of the dancers are light and moving, and the singing is crisp and beautiful.

The queen turned sideways to the emperor: "In previous years, the daughters of each family showed their talents at the state banquet as usual, but this year's concubines look at this like a flower girl, why not?"

The emperor smiled: "What the queen said is very true, so please invite the daughters of each family to come on the stage and show their talents."

Huang Xinya's voice was crisp: "The courtiers learned a new song "Yaqin" the day before yesterday, and I am willing to share it with you."

The emperor gladly agreed: "Yes."

Huang Xinya saluted slightly, took the guqin, plucked it three or two times, and the strings emitted a beautiful fairy sound.

Some people who like string music were shocked: "This guqin is the legendary 'Luqi'?"

Immediately, a person who is proficient in the guqin identified: "Yes, it is the famous piano 'Luqi' that King Liang gave to Sima Xiangru back then, Sima Xiangru originally had a poor family and four walls, but his poetry is very famous." King Liang asked him to make a gift, and he wrote a 'jade endowment' as a gift. This is a magnificent rhetoric and an extraordinary charm. King Liang was extremely happy, so he gave back his collection of 'Luqi' piano. 'Luqi' is a famous piano, and there is an inscription in the piano that says 'Tongzi Hejing', that is, the essence of the combination of paulownia wood and zinc wood. It's like getting a 'green qi', like getting a treasure. His exquisite piano skills and the wonderful timbre of 'Lvqi' made 'Lvqi' famous for a while. In this life, I am fortunate to see the famous piano 'Luqi' with my own eyes, and Wang lives up to this trip! ”

Huang Xinya is worthy of being a person who can be equal to Yu Huanzhen, although her appearance is slightly inferior, but in terms of resourcefulness, financial resources, and talent, she is far more clever than Yu Huanzhen. A famous piano, a song "Yaqin", made people marvel, Concubine Ji noticed that when Huang Xinya collected the piano, all the ladies were sad.

The emperor stroked his palms and laughed: "Good piano, good music, good girl, worthy of being the 'first beauty in the capital'"!

Yu Huanzhen's face changed, and the emperor personally admitted that the title of "the first beauty in the capital" would not fall to Huang Xinya in the future? Yu Huanzhen bit a mouthful of silver teeth.

Huang Xinya smiled modestly: "Xinya's small skills in carving insects are unbearable, and Sister Yu's talent is the most admirable."

"Oh? True. The emperor became interested, "I wonder if there is a show?"

Yu Huanzhen Shi Ran got up: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers have been practicing "Qingping Le" diligently recently, and I would like to ask for a dance." , but secretly scolded Huang Xinya in her heart, she was not unsure of beating her, but with her pearl and jade in front of her, the emperor had personally admitted her name as the first beauty, even if she jumped into the eyes of the emperor again, she could no longer become the first beauty, which would only make her more depressed.

Thinking so, Yu Huanzhen is still dignified and elegant, and has changed into a light purple mille-feuille veil.
