Since the old lady came out with Wu Furong and Yang's mother, she has always been unable to pass this hurdle in her heart, and she even fell ill after Princess Lao Ping fell ill. may also be old, and the old lady has a heart disease, so this disease turned out to be imposing, and more than 20 years have passed, and the old lady has not been well.

Today, the king of the county and Linlang are both at home to serve the sick. This series of things happened in the Li family, since the second old man was no longer an official, she and Luo Yunong no longer went to the palace banquet, so on Chinese New Year's Eve, only Ling Yuanhang and Yaru and his wife were present in the county palace.

Ling Yuanhang only brought Ah Yuan, and Yaru brought Peach and Yan Hong. As for Apricot and Orange, they were married ten days ago. And the two little girls that Yaru newly brought up, because they had just bought them from outside, were familiar with all aspects, so Yaru didn't bring them this time.

The couple is in a car, Ling Yuanhang doesn't know what's wrong today, he just wants to take a car with Yaru, there are many people rushing to the palace on the street, so the road is a little blocked. The carriage walked slowly, swaying forward in the flowing convoy.

The couple were chatting in the car, which was covered with felt cushions and pillows, so it didn't feel bumpy. Ling Yuanhang sat on the pillow, Yaru sat next to her, she also wanted to lean, but she didn't dare to lean on it, for fear of messing up her hair.

"I heard today that the Yan family is going to send a girl to the palace, saying that this girl is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also as beautiful as a peach and plum, and she is very outstanding. Yaru smiled and told Ling Yuanhang about the rumors she had heard.

Ling Yuanhang half-squinted his eyes and said: "Some families have chosen the girls to be sent to the palace very early, and they have been teaching the rules since they were young, and they strictly follow the etiquette and upbringing of the palace court in every word and deed, and these people treat women as chess pieces and send them to the palace. This girl from the Yan family has been educating in this way for a long time. At the time, after all, these women were pitiful. ”

Yaru listened to Ling Yuanhang's words and looked at him with some surprise.

Ling Yuanhang looked at her eyes and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Aru praised him sincerely, saying, "I really think you are very good, others take women for granted, and only you sympathize with these women, and say that these women are pitiful." ”

Ling Yuanhang touched her smooth face and said, "Our little Jiahui will not have such a fate, because she has her father, grandmother, grandfather and grandmother who love her. ”

Yaru said arrogantly: "That's natural, if you let your daughter be your pawn, I will take her away." However, the women at today's palace banquet should be in full bloom, and I heard that the business in the cloth village and jewelry stores in the capital is particularly good during this period of time. ”

Ling Yuanhang smiled and said, "What about your Wanfu Bu Village, did you also make a lot of money?"

At the mention of this, Yaru suddenly became very excited: "That's true, the money earned during this period has been more than half a year." Hey, husband, what do you think I'd do if I opened a few more shops in the field?"

Ling Yuanhang smiled and asked, "What's wrong with your picture?"

Yaru shook her head and smiled: "I have such an idea, but I haven't investigated it yet, let's talk about it." ”

As he spoke, time flew by, and before he knew it, the carriage had stopped outside the palace. The two of them got out of the car, each greeted someone they knew, and then walked towards the banquet room together.

However, Ling Yuanhang is going to take office today, and he has been appointed by the emperor as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army half a month ago. Today he just sent Yaru over, and then he had to check how the various parts of the palace were defended.

Today, Yaru's friends Cui Ying and Luo Yunong did not come, and the second sister Yayi was pregnant again and did not come, but what made Yaru happy was that Ah Ning came today.

Cui Ji is now the prince of the Prince Zhan Shifu, and the prince of the Great Yuan Dynasty is from Wupin, and the prince is with the prince. When the emperor chooses a person for the crown prince, he looks at two aspects, one is morality, and the other is knowledge. Cui Ji can be selected, which shows the emperor's importance to Cui Ji. Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve today, the prince still asked Cui Ji to accompany him. So Cui Ji just sent Ah Ning to the Baohe Palace, and then went to accompany the prince.

As soon as the two of them sat down for a while, they saw a woman come in at the door, this woman Yaru really hadn't seen it, but Ah Ning knew, she said to Yaru: "This young lady is Yan Yueqin, the granddaughter of Yan Ge Lao." She doesn't attend general banquets. ”

Yaru carefully observed Yan Yueqin, only to see that this girl was tall, with white skin and a dignified demeanor, and what was even more surprising was that every step she took was like a step measured with a ruler, very even, and the pink clothes on her body set off her demeanor even more, and she was incomparably beautiful. Yaru couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this is really a stunner. If this woman enters the palace, it will be difficult not to be favored by the emperor.

Yan Yueqin saw Ah Ning and walked over with a smile: "Young Mrs. Cui, you came so early." Then he looked at Aru: "Who is this?"

Ah Ning replied with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law, Miss Yan, it's not too late for you." ”

Ya Yuehua smiled: "Then this is Young Lady Ling, I have heard your name for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today." Young Lady Ling is really a rare beauty!"

Yaru looked at Yan Yueqin's just right smile, and really felt that this girl was a standard template. This typical toothless smile is more standard and more standard, and her voice is as pleasant as her name. She couldn't help but praise again in her heart: How did this Yan family raise such a standard lady, tsk, strange.

Yaru quickly came back to her senses, so let's talk to people first. So she also tried her best to pretend to be a lady and chatted along.

The women of the banquet arrived one after another. At this time, I heard someone calling: "Isn't this Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Cui Shao." ”

Yaru turned her head and saw that it was another acquaintance, Miss Xu San. The material of this Xu San's clothes turned out to be Shu brocade, Yaru thought that there must be no such clothes in the Lang Mansion, this should be prepared by Princess An. The delicate yellow color makes Xu San's skin whiter and more delicate. I have to say that today's Miss Xu San is very outstanding.

Yan Yueqin looked at Miss Xu's clothes and praised: "Miss Xu San's clothes are really different when she wears this dress today, so beautiful that I almost can't recognize it." ”

Yaru and Ah Ning both wanted to laugh a little, this Miss Yan is very good at talking, if there is no problem, she and Miss Xu San are probably both people who are going to be sent to the palace for the draft. So these two people should be fighting in their hearts. Yan Yuehua didn't say that Miss Xu San was beautiful, but directly praised Miss Xu San's clothes for being beautiful, and Miss Xu San was so beautiful because she wore these clothes. That is, in Yan Yuehua's heart, she didn't admit that Miss Xu San herself was also a beauty.

Miss Xu San didn't hear Yan Yuehua's voice, she said happily: "Yes, I really look good in this dress, this is what my eldest sister specially made for me." ”

Yaru and A Ning looked at each other and smiled, this Xu San girl looked like a person who didn't have many hearts, Mrs. Xu taught her eldest daughter very shrewdly, but she was used to this little daughter not knowing anything. I can't even hear other people's voices, if I enter the palace or become the side concubine of the prince or the prince, can I keep myself in the back house?"

But Yaru and Ah Ning just followed the words of Miss Yan and Miss Xu San, and they didn't want to be used as a gunman by that Miss Yan. The four of them sat down for a while, and the feast began, and everyone returned to their places.

After a while, the emperor came, he took the queen with him, followed by Concubine Shu and several concubines, Ah Ning didn't know why, she always felt that Concubine Xu Shu seemed to be looking at herself. She thought that she had no friendship with Concubine Shu, which may be her own delusion.

When the emperor arrived here, he first said a few words, to the effect that there are many happy events this year, and I will be happy with you and welcome the New Year together. But today, before the banquet begins, let everyone enjoy the singing and dancing, and if you celebrate the New Year, you must have the joy of singing and dancing. So I asked the people of the Teaching Department to show everyone the program that had been arranged in advance, including dancing, singing, and various musical instrument performances, and the whole banquet hall was in a festive atmosphere.

In the end, the emperor said again, if there are people here who want to perform, I will provide you with a chance now, and you can come up and perform now. As soon as the emperor's words were finished, there was silence below, and then there was a whispering below. After a while, several young ladies came up to perform their talents, of course, before the banquet, everyone knew that there would be this show, so many young ladies were fully prepared.

When no one went up again, a pleasant voice remembered: "Your Majesty, the little girl also wants to perform a song." ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, this woman was so beautiful, and the big eunuch Li Quan next to him was so smart, he hurriedly said: "This young lady will report her name and surname first, and then perform." ”

Yan Yuehua reported her name and surname in a nice voice, and the emperor suddenly said: "It turns out that this is the eldest granddaughter of Yan Gelao." ”

Miss Yan performed a zheng, and the music she played, Yaru felt a little familiar, and Ah Ning said next to her: ""Ni Dress Song". ”

Yaru also remembered that it was "Neon Dress Song". At this time, the melodious sound of the piano is as crisp as a pearl and jade, beautiful and beautiful. Yaru couldn't help but admire, this Yan Yuehua is really a master of playing the kite, this song should only be in the sky, how many times can the world hear it. When the sound of the piano ends, the aftermath lingers like wisps.

The hall fell silent, and then burst into applause and cheers. Yan Yueqin bowed deeply to the emperor, and the emperor looked at her thoughtfully. Then the emperor said to Li Quan: "Li Quan, there is a voice of ancient rhyme in the library, tomorrow you will send the voice of ancient rhyme to Yan Ge Lao's mansion, this voice of ancient rhyme can finally find someone to match it." Li Quan replied yes.

Yan Yuehua stepped forward again and kowtowed to thank her, and then stepped back with Nana.

The girls in the hall are envious of Yan Yuehua and jealous, you must know that this ancient rhyme is a very famous guzheng. Many people wanted to get this zither, but they didn't know where it was, it turned out that it was hidden deep in the palace. Today, this guzheng is finally available, but the emperor gave it to Yan Yuehua. There are so many girls performing, and among the performers who are not kitschists, the emperor did not reward anything, but he only gave this famous zither to Yan Yuehua, which can only show one problem, that is, the emperor attaches great importance to this Miss Yan.
