Chapter 524: Bright Moon Digs a Pit
After the dancers have retired, it's time for the talent show.
The first one to play was the lord of Yuyao County of Chengwang's Mansion, she played a tune, the sound of the piano was dingdong, like a spring flowing, and with the accompaniment of those court musicians, it was really a pleasure.
I have to say that these ladies really have two brushes, and Lin Ruan is starting to look forward to the next show.
She was at ease on her side, but the county lord of Mingyue on the other side gritted her teeth with hatred.
Last time in Lin Ruan's shop, she was put on a show by Lin Ruan, and she was embarrassed by Xiao Jingchen like that, especially when Xiao Jingchen sued her father, causing her to be reprimanded and grounded for a month.
She Zhao Mingyue has grown so big, and she has never been so embarrassed!
All this is because of that village girl!
She swore that she would make the village girl repent of her mistakes!
So after the county lord Mingyue waited for the dance of the county lord of Yuyao to end, he stood up and blessed the queen and said: "Queen Mother, Mingyue has also prepared a dance tonight, and I want to dedicate it to all the ladies and daughters." If you don't dance well, please don't make fun of Mingyue. ”
The queen smiled: "You fake and modest girl, your dancing style is one of the best in the whole of Kyoto, and even this palace is looking forward to watching you dance every year." Okay, let's get started, Hongu can't wait. ”
The county lord of Mingyue smiled and said: "Then please wait for Mingyue for a while, I need to change my clothes first." ”
The ladies who came to participate in the talent show were naturally fully prepared.
Lord Mingyue went to the side hall next to him to change his clothes, and when he returned to the hall, the music sounded.
The people in the hall all looked at the Mingyue County Lord in surprise, this is a thrilling dance! With such a difficult dance, can the Lord of Mingyue even do it?
The county lord of Mingyue received those glances, and the smile on his face became a little more confident, and then he danced with the music.
This dance is light, elegant, and feminine, and it is very difficult, even those maiko can not dance well, so the average maiko will not perform this dance, so as not to smash their own signs.
Mingyue County has been practicing this amazing dance for more than two years, and now he dares to dance at the palace banquet, so he naturally has a lot of confidence.
I saw her spinning briskly in the hall with the music, and the long water sleeves were thrown out of various graceful shapes, so that everyone in the hall looked straight.
Rao is Lin Ruan also thinks that she dances really well.
After the song, the applause was thunderous, the audience applauded, and Princess Qi's face was full of pride.
The county lord of Mingyue was also very satisfied with his performance, calmed down his breath, and thanked the surrounding blessings.
The queen praised: "The Lord of Mingyue can open people's eyes every year, this amazing dance has only been seen twice in this palace, and the palace thought it was beautiful to the extreme, but I didn't expect you to dance better." I've seen your dance, how can I still watch other people dance in the future? ”
As she spoke, the queen took off a golden hairpin on her head and gave it to the county lord of Mingyue.
Liu Guifei was not far behind, and rewarded the county lord of Mingyue with a pair of bracelets.
The other concubines also expressed their opinions.
After the county lord Mingyue accepted the reward, he was not in a hurry to change his clothes, but glanced at Lin Ruan with bad intentions, and said to the queen: "Niangniang, I want to ask the county lord of Fuyou to come out and perform a show for everyone, is it okay?" ”
As I said before, talent shows can be done on their own initiative or by recommending others, so the request of Lord Mingyue is really reasonable.
Lin Ruan raised her eyebrows, is this going to see her make a fool of herself?
Princess Changle frowned, and said in a low voice: "Lord Mingyue has always been very cautious, last time you and her affairs must have made her hold a grudge, what are you going to do?" ”
Lin Ruan smiled faintly: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it." ”
The two were talking here, but on the main seat over there, the queen mother did not respond as much as others recommended.
In fact, these ladies here are all cultivated by various prefectures, even if the girls with mediocre qualifications have some talent that can be used.
But Lin Ruan, a girl who grew up in the countryside, heard that she couldn't even eat enough before, so how could she have any talent?
In order to avoid any unpleasant things, the queen said in a round game: "As soon as the head of Fuyou County comes back to participate in the palace banquet, I don't think I should have made any preparations, so I don't have to perform this year, let's make up for it next year, do you think it's good?" ”
The queen spoke, and the others naturally had no opinions, especially Liu Guifei, in order to make a good impression on Lin Ruan, she also deliberately said: "The county lord of Fuyou has been busy with business, and he definitely has no time to pay attention to these things." This palace believes that the daughter's family does not have to have these things, after all, it will not affect anything. On the contrary, everyone can be like the county lord of Fuyou, and that is the blessing of the Great Zhou. ”
The two giants of the harem both spoke for Lin Ruan, and the others naturally wanted to echo it.
But where is the county lord of Mingyue willing to be willing, she finally had a chance to make Lin Ruan make a fool of herself, and if she missed it like this, she would definitely be so angry that she couldn't sleep.
So the county lord of Mingyue said with a smile: "The queen mother and the concubine are quite reasonable, but the rules of the palace banquet have been set for many years, and if you make an exception for the county lord of Fuyou, how can you be embarrassed by the other ladies who have not prepared well but have been named to perform?" ”
Princess Qi also followed to help: "That's right, the queen mother, the noble concubine, it's better to let the county lord come out and make a casual comparison, or tell a story." The county lord of Fuyou is a talented person, and the concubine believes that she will definitely not disappoint everyone. ”
Some of the women who were good friends with Princess Qi also smiled and agreed: "Yes, Lord Fuyou, it's okay for you to come out and say something at will." ”
The queen glanced at Princess Qi without a trace, and looked back at Lin Ruan, who was holding a wine glass in her hand and seemed to be tasting wine seriously: "Fuyou County Lord, what do you mean?" If you really don't want to perform, this palace can allow you to make an exception. ”
Lin Ruan put down his wine glass, stood up, and said calmly: "Since it is the rules of the palace banquet, then Fuyou will abide by it." Otherwise, it will not be fair to other ladies. However, Fuyou grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he has never been exposed to anything elegant, so I hope that all mothers, ladies, and daughters will bear with me and don't laugh. ”
When the queen saw her say this, she knew that she should still have some confidence, so she said: "No, the county lord of Fuyou should not be under pressure, you can just talk about some customs and people, it just so happens that this palace also wants to know about other things in Da Zhou." ”
Concubine Liu Guifei was a little unhappy, in her heart, Lin Ruan was her future daughter-in-law, if she made a fool of herself at the palace banquet, wouldn't it be a shame to even take her and the three princes?
But at this time, she couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to complain in her heart that Lin Ruan didn't look at her, obviously she and the queen had already supported her, and they would even jump into the pit dug by Mingyue.
It's just stupid!
The other wives began to look forward to what Lin Ruan would come out to perform, and secretly warned themselves that if Lin Ruan made a joke for a while, they would have to hold back and not laugh.
