"Me? No, no, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I haven't learned much since I was a child, so don't be ugly and embarrassed. Ye Qingyan hurriedly and humbly refused. Zhuyu is already in front, no matter how ugly she is, it will not be a shame, she still has self-knowledge.

The Ye family, who was sitting at the bottom of Ye Qingyan, was extremely ashamed when he heard Ye Qingyan's words, "It's all the fault of the concubine." ”

When Ye Qingyan was a child, she was busy dealing with the affairs of Ye Mansion, as well as a group of children, but she neglected Ye Qingyan here, and only sent her aunt to teach her the rules and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she never stared at it, and the control was loose.

"It has nothing to do with my aunt, it's that the palace is too naughty and always skips class." Ye Qingyan replied with a smile.

At that time, she was really not very obedient, and she didn't like to learn those things that everyone learned at all, she just loved to make herbs and practice martial arts. I never take the initiative to play with those sisters in the house. And Ye Guangzhong is a mediocre person, not to mention the affairs of officialdom, there are also concubines one after another in the back house, and in the end, the affairs of the old and young people in the main house and the side house inside and outside are all carried by the Ye family, how can she have the kung fu to care about her, she also sees it in her eyes.

Zhuang Xiuyi and Zhou Jieyu, each holding their own flowers, came over to thank Ye Qingyan.

This feast should be rewarded by everyone, only depending on the weight of the reward, especially the first reward, which can be promoted.

So they all tried their best and took out their old books. Originally, these were prepared to please His Majesty, but now they are all for the Queen.

"The two younger sisters are really impressive." Ye Qingyan said with a smile, "Especially Zhuang Xiuyi, I didn't expect you to play the piano so well, comparable to everyone." ”

Zhuang Xiuyi bowed and saluted, "The concubine is ashamed, so it's good if the mother doesn't dislike it." ”

"Well, Hongu likes it very much. and Zhou Jieyu......" Ye Qingyan looked at Zhou Jieyu, who was dressed in men's clothes, and was also full of praise, "It's really heroic, don't let me have my eyebrows." ”

Zhou Jieyu was praised by Ye Qingyan, and she also blushed, because she was still a little panting because of dancing: "Thank you for the praise of the queen mother, and the flowers of the queen mother." ”

"Okay, you guys sit down and rest first." Ye Qingyan nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with the two of them.

After the two people were seated, a palace maid served them a delicious meal.

Soon there was another graceful concubine on the stage, holding the pipa on the stage, and her face was covered with a thin veil, and she couldn't see her face. However, with her walking posture, the concubines who have been together for several years still recognize her at a glance.

"This is a beautiful woman." Zhuang Xiuyi said to Zhou Jieyu beside her.

Zhou Jieyu nodded, "It's her, and she is veiled, and she has thoughts." ”

"You're more thoughtful in men's clothes, aren't you?" Zhuang Xiuyi quipped.

"Sister, isn't this praying for the soldiers at the border gates?" Zhou Jieyu said embarrassedly.

Ye Qingyan listened to the whispers of the two of them, and knew who this concubine on the stage was, Wan Meiren...... The niece of the Ministry of Rites.

Usually in the harem, he is also a very peaceful person, he does not show it, and he will not fall behind, he is a person who knows the mean. Among the foreign women who came today, there is also Mrs. Zhu, the wife of the Ministry of Rites.

Ye Qingyan looked at Mrs. Zhu, saw that her eyes were soft, and looked at the concubines on the stage with the intimate eyes of the juniors, and she recognized her.

Zhu Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted by Ren Ran, and naturally he was also a member of the Prime Minister's faction. Later, after Ren Ran defected from the Yan Dynasty, the people he promoted were all replaced according to her wishes, especially the important ministers in the court. But Xiao Changqi didn't move these people, and still let them be loyal to their duties in their own positions.

He just believes that these people can't be Ren Ran's minions?

Ye Qingyan leaned on the phoenix couch, his mind was a little erratic, so he didn't listen to the pipa solo of the beauty very carefully. Or maybe it was her recital, which didn't stir her upset.

It wasn't until everyone's applause rang out that she came back to her senses and clapped her hands in praise, "Okay, Jinglin appreciates the flowers." ”

After thanking the beauty, she sat down next to Zhou Jieyu, and took off the veil on her face, revealing a flowery and moon-like face. is even more beautiful than Zhou Jieyu and Zhuang Xiuyi.

Ye Qingyan looked at her face and sighed, what a beauty the harem is.

……

In the imperial study, Xiao Changqi was handling government affairs, and he could faintly hear the singing and dancing music coming from the Wanchun Palace.

Gong Cheng would occasionally glance outside the hall, and then sneak a glance at Xiao Changqi...... Eyes and noses, silent and motionless.

Xiao Changqi said to Gong Cheng: "Yue Ling can be in the duty room?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, General Yue has been training outside the city, not in the capital."

"Pass him into the palace."

"Yes, the minion will do it." Gong Cheng retreated.

Xiao Changqi dipped his pen in ink and continued to review the music, not distracted by the music that came with many shadows.

After the talent show, Ye Qingyan looked at all the concubines, especially the vase in front of them, which was the worst concubine in the performance, and there was also a flower in the vase.

"By respecting Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, the concubines who came to help us perform their talents counted flowers, and the one who got the most flowers will be rewarded."

Min Ying smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll count the flowers." ”

In the end, Zhuang Xiuyi spent the most, and her piano playing was indeed good, and she deserved it. followed by Zhang Ronghua, her zither was better than what Ye Qingyan heard last time, and she definitely put a lot of thought into it. The third place is Zhou Jieyu, her sword dance in women's costume as men is very impressive.

In the top three, only Zhuang Xiuyi was promoted, and he was promoted from Xiuyi to concubine, Zhuang Concubine.

The other two are also heavy rewards, and can name themselves for a reward.

Zhang Ronghua asked for a bottle of jade snow cream.

Ye Qingyan was stumped, because the jade snow cream had already been accepted by Xiao Changqi, and the inner attendant was no longer there. And she herself generally doesn't leave jade snow cream. If she asked Xiao Changqi for it, he wouldn't give it nine times out of ten. Because of these martial arts people, he now dislikes jade snow cream very much, and if she asks for it again, she will inevitably hit her nose.

"Zhang Ronghua, this reward may have to be changed. The owner of the Yipin balm shop died unexpectedly, so there will be no more Yipin balm, it is the snow cream of Lianpin, and the inner attendant is nothing. ”

As soon as this news came out, everyone was surprised, there was no more balm in the future?

Min Ying likes Yipin balm very much, and when she heard that there would be no more, she immediately showed pity, "These days, I let the steward go to buy balm, and I always say that the balm shop is closed, but it turns out that the owner is gone, it's a pity." ”

Ye Qingyan said: "That's true. If Zhang Ronghua wants the snow cream of the lotus product, this palace can reward you. ”

Zhang Ronghua hurriedly responded: "Thank you to the queen, even lotus products can also be used." ”
