Chapter 8 Talent Competition

"Okay, you go down and make arrangements." Li Yiqian didn't seem to be interested in this, but he didn't object either.

Soon, Liu Yuyang took out a list of concubines who wanted to perform.

Liu Yuyang looked at Xu Qian, "Sister Xu, let's start with you first." ”

"The concubine obeys." After speaking, Xu Qian saluted to the superior and walked out.

The people arranged by Liu Yuyang had already set up the zither, and I saw Xu Qian sitting calmly in front of the zither, raising her hands and pouring out the song "Out of the Water Lotus". Such an elegant tune is also somewhat similar to her light temperament.

Through these days of inquiry, I also know that Xu Qian is the real indifferent person in the harem, entering the palace is just to show the status of the family, not competing for favor or flattery on weekdays, and never forming gangs, but like a clear stream in this palace.

One song is over.

"Well, this song is very similar to your personality." seemed to know Xu Qian's personality well, and Li Yiqian also smiled and praised it.

"Thank you for your praise." After another salute, Xu Qian returned to her seat.

"Hearing Sister Xu's zheng, the concubine also has some itching skills, why don't you have a song by the concubine next, the emperor said it's okay?" Yin'er shyly saluted the person on top and pleaded.

"It's okay, then Imperial Lady Lin will come."

As soon as the words fell, a palace person sent a pipa.

Yin'er chose "Sunset Drums" that expresses the mood of Jiangnan, but the gentle melody in the song is somewhat inconsistent with her lively personality.

Although I had warned her before, I couldn't resist her, so I had to go with her. It's just that she repeatedly told her to calm down when practicing, but at this moment, Xu is caused by the environment, and Yin'er's heart is still far away from calm. Therefore, the music she played was a bit nondescript.

"The concubine is ugly."

Yin'er said as she looked at the upper position, obviously the drunkard didn't mean to drink, and wanted to pass on his love to Li Yiqian.

"Hmph, I know that I dare to come out if I am ugly, and I play like this, I don't have to make people laugh and lose my big teeth, I really don't know what you want to do." Chen Jing's words reached everyone's ears.

In an instant, everyone's eyes looked at Yin'er a little wrong.

"Yes, he dared to stare at the emperor openly above the main hall, and he didn't know how to do it in private, it was simply insulting his father's reputation."

"I heard that she is a concubine, no wonder she is so uneducated."

Yin'er's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she wanted to cry, not knowing what to say.

"Enough, the harem concubines are not allowed to be criticized by the clansmen. Lin Yunu, step aside. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." There was already a hint of crying in Yin'er's voice.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the concubine perform a piece for you!" Chen Jing was obviously a little eager to try.

"Okay, I don't know what Concubine Ai wants to perform?" Li Yiqian's interest has obviously been diverted.

"Concubines don't love these talents, only sword dancing can also make the emperor watch. The concubine went down first to prepare. After speaking, Chen Jing walked out.

When she came in again, Chen Jing had already changed her clothes and was holding a prop sword for performance in her hand.

One move, one style, the tiger and the tiger are vigorous.

"Okay, I didn't know that Concubine Ai had such skills, and she really deserved to be a military general, and she had the style of a father. Coming people, talented Chen's family, won my heart, and was a five-grade beauty in Jinzheng. Li Yiqian seemed very satisfied.

"Concubine, thank you emperor!"

Chen Jing seemed to be shocked by this sudden promotion, and her joy was overflowing.

When everyone was happy or angry because of this promotion, my heart muttered.

Chen Jing's personality is definitely not the kind that is likable, although a sword dance is good, it is not very outstanding, especially after Xu Qian's performance. So, what is Li Yiqian's purpose for sealing her?

Just as I was pondering, Zhou Yunqing next to me coughed, and I came back to my senses. Seeing that everyone in the hall was staring at me, I suddenly had a bad premonition.

I looked back at Yin'er and wondered what was going on, but I saw that she was so sad that she ignored me.

At this time, Li Yiqian spoke up: "Lin Cairen, the concubine heard that you have excellent dancing skills, why don't you perform." ”

Although it was a discussion, his tone was a command.

"But the concubine didn't prepare the show, and now..."

Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Liu Yuyang.

"Lin Cairen don't have to worry, this palace has already ordered someone to prepare some dance costumes, you can go and choose a suitable one." Liu Yuyang looked at me with a smile.

For some reason, I felt a chill from this warm smile. But now that it's over, I can't back down.

"The concubine obeys."

At this point, my brain was racing. Li Yiqian said that this matter was brought up by Liu Yuyang, and she prepared her clothes in advance, so it can be seen that she is waiting for me to dance, where is the problem?

I made a selection and checked it again and again to make sure there were no problems, and then changed into clothes.

I'm going to perform "With the Wind".

As the musician plays, my body swings and spins. I seem to be incarnated into the wind, do whatever I want, at this moment, the uninhibited and free and easy in my bones seem to be displayed, and this is my true character.

At the end of the dance, everyone didn't seem to wake up yet.

At that moment, they were all attracted to the woman in front of them, "seduced" by the kind of freedom she displayed. Precious, what a precious word for those in deep cages.

Looking at the woman in the center of the hall who became the focus of everyone, Li Yiqian's eyes flashed with a hint of brightness, and he said loudly: "Talented Lin Yaxin, talented and virtuous, Jin Xinjieyu, lives in Yuquan Palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was instantly awakened.

A show girl who has not yet gone to bed, jumped several levels to become Jieyu of the fourth grade, and was also given a title, living alone in a palace, this is an unprecedented thing, how can it not cause an uproar.

"The emperor can't, Lin Cairen has nothing to offer, why should he deserve such an honor!" Liu Yuyang was the first to stand up and object.

"If the emperor does this, where will the people in the harem be, and where will the ancestors and ancestors be?" The eldest princess Zhiqin also stood up.

"Emperor, you are confused!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but refute it.

"Please ask the emperor to receive the order." Most of the people above the hall knelt down in agreement.

swept past the people who were kneeling or sitting one by one, Li Yiqian was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"Lin Cairen, what do you say?" Suddenly, I was called by name. At this moment, I recovered from the shock just now and quickly got up.

"Back to the emperor, the concubines have no merit in the country, and they have never slept in the country, such an honor may make the emperor criticized, and please think twice." After that, I kowtowed to Li Yiqian.
