Chapter 338: Conspiracy
No, if Bai Ling is a man, the emperor may be even more elevated to him.
It's a pity that women can't enter the government after all, and their contribution to the court will be smaller.
"The emperor praised falsely, and the courtiers are only good in some aspects. There are the queen mother, the queen mother, and all the mothers, and there are even more women who don't let the eyebrows, and the courtiers are just the light of the fire, and they dare not compete for glory.
Each of the ten fingers has its own strengths and weaknesses, but each has its own usefulness. Thousands of women in the world weave cloth and sew clothes, respect the elderly and raise children, how can they let their sons and daughters serve the country without worries? According to the courtiers, as long as they are responsible and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, they are all models and worthy of respect. ”
Bai Ling knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, holding back not saying that a woman could hold up half the sky, so as not to be impeached by the officials and make a lot of nonsense.
I want to ask the emperor even more: Are you sure you don't want to make trouble? This is the rhythm that wants to establish me as the public enemy of women in the whole world!
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and realized that his words were inappropriate, so he said:
"The Queen Mother is my mother, and she is a model for women in the world. The queen mother of the world should also be emulated by the women of the world. As you said, all the women in this world are meritorious and should be cherished by men in the world. The auspicious county lord knows the general situation, get up. ”
"Your Majesty." Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he wouldn't invite too many enemies for himself today.
But the eyes that shot from all directions told Bai Ling that her prayers were useless.
Not to mention the royal golden branches and jade leaves, those proud daughters of the sky are not willing to be robbed of the limelight by her.
"This screen and the oil painting complement each other, looking at it makes the mourning family feel comfortable, this embroidery is also unique, but there is something else?" The Queen Mother smiled and diverted the topic.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the screen is double-sided embroidery. The cloth and silk threads used were soaked in sleeping medicine. The embroidery method of the screen is all embroidery thread on one side and ...... on the other."
Bai Cao just sweated for Bai Ling, and dared to dismiss the emperor's praise, which was too bold.
But when the Queen Mother asked, Bai Cao had to kneel down and reply immediately, but fortunately, she was good at it, and she was not afraid of making mistakes.
"Well, you two sisters have the same intentions. The oil paintings and screens are placed in the mourning family's dormitory and flower hall. The mourning family is old, but they don't sleep a lot, and they don't like incense, with these two objects, maybe it can be useful. ”
The Queen Mother liked it very much, and when she saw that the emperor intended to hold Bai Ling, she ordered:
"Carry it down to show everyone, and when the mourning family is accepted into Cining Palace, it will be difficult for you to feast your eyes."
"The queen mother likes it so much, the concubine also wants to learn from the emperor once, and first rewarded the auspicious county lord and Mrs. Yang Shao, but the queen mother is approved?" The queen opened her mouth at the right time, and she couldn't let the Bai Ling sisters stand on the stage all the time.
"Yes, the mourning family will reward them with a pair of jade ruyi. Fortunately, there is only this birthday gift today, otherwise the mourning family's private treasury will be emptied. The Queen Mother smiled.
After Bai Ling and Bai Cao thanked each other, they were about to leave together, but they were stopped by Princess Mingzhu.
"Lord Jixiang, please stay." Princess Mingzhu got up and said with a graceful smile: "This princess and the county lord also had a relationship, and once said to the county lord that they would compete in dance skills, I don't know if the county lord remembers?" ”
Remember your sister!
Bai Ling wanted to explode foully, but at this time, he obviously couldn't embarrass the envoys.
"I wonder what the princess wants to try?" Bai Ling responded with a light smile, quietly pinched the white grass, and asked her to retreat first.
"Why don't you ask Princess Suya to play a song, and this princess and the county lord dance at will, how about it?" Princess Mingzhu's seemingly fair words made Bai Ling smell of conspiracy.
The scene in Cining Palace in the morning, saying that these two princesses had not calculated anything in advance, Bai Ling really didn't believe it.
"Would you like Princess Suya?" Bai Ling turned his head and looked at Princess Suya, obviously accepting the challenge.
"Since it is the invitation of Princess Mingzhu, this princess will not refuse." Princess Suya got up arrogantly, didn't notice the emperor's eyes, and said proudly: "Come on, take the princess's peacock piano." ”
Bai Ling looked at the two of them and saluted the queen: "Queen Qi, the courtiers have not prepared a dance dress today, can you ask the queen to arrange for someone to prepare a set for the courtiers?" ”
Soon Bai Ling put on a set of red water-sleeved long skirts, with a bell around her waist, and her hairstyle was changed to a light bun, wearing only the decoration and ribbon on her forehead to echo the ink hair.
When Princess Suya saw Bai Ling on stage, she didn't even have a chance to prepare for her, and her fair-skinned ten fingers had already begun to play.
Princess Mingzhu lifted her lips and smiled, she had already moved her dance steps, and at a glance she knew that she had heard this song and had already rehearsed the dance in advance.
"Too much deception!" Princess Han saw that Bai Ling didn't dance with the rhythm for the first time, and said indignantly.
King Han held his beloved wife's hand and said in a low voice: "My son is not in a hurry, you should have confidence in your son." ”
On the high platform, Princess Yayang and Concubine Xiao's mother and daughter couldn't help but look at Bai Ling worriedly, not wanting her to make a fool of herself.
"Sure enough, she was born as a peasant girl, and she can't help herself!" Tan Xuehua was depressed all night, and at this moment, she had the opportunity to ridicule Bai Ling, and she would not let it go.
"Cousin, the emperor's praise for the second sister just now, didn't the cousin forget?" Although Bai Xue was also nervous, no one was allowed to speak ill of Bai Ling.
Old Madam Yang frowned and glanced at Tan Xuehua, but did not speak.
Bai Ling quietly listened to a beat, and soon danced with it, the dance steps were light but different from this time and space, in the eyes of others, it was a self-contained line, admired and envied.
Since she was a child, Princess Suya has been proficient in music, which is unmatched by other princesses, and what she is best at is seamlessly connecting several songs with different rhythms.
As soon as Bai Ling danced, he listened to the sound of the piano, and the melodious tune turned into a battlefield killing, and the sonorous and powerful tune was obviously not suitable for Bai Ling's soft dress.
"Bai Ling, admit defeat!" Princess Mingzhu said proudly.
Princess Mingzhu, who has practiced kung fu, has a little more strength in her dance, but there is something new.
"Slap the face of the emperor of the Eastern Han Kingdom, who gave the princess your guts?" Bai Ling did not hurry to restrain his dancing, and one sentence made the two princesses look ugly.
Bai Ling, who had been praised by the emperor just now, if he admitted defeat at this time, it would indeed be equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face.
But this plan had been there for a long time, and they were very jealous of Bai Ling just now, but the two of them didn't think about it, so they implemented it according to the original plan.
It's going to be unbearable, I can't afford to lose, and I can't afford to win.
successfully disturbed the minds of the two, but Bai Ling didn't bother to pay attention to them anymore.
The light and fluttering long sleeves, as if they were carrying a thousand pounds, were thrown out by Bai Ling, and every blow could shock people's hearts.
When Princess Mingzhu was flashing, Bai Ling's water sleeve had already hit her face, but when Princess Mingzhu was angry, Bai Ling had already turned around, as if it was really just an accident just now.
Princess Suya's style changed again, and the style of the secluded valley was consistent with Bai Ling's dress.
Removed the domineering, flexible posture of Bai Ling is slender on the stage like an elf.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by her red makeup, white sleeves, and the face that was always smiling, as if it could make people forget the unpleasantness, and only immersed themselves in the dreamlike dance.
Princess Suya gritted her teeth hatefully, unwilling to see Bai Ling's beautiful side, and temporarily changed the style of the song to cheerful.
