Chapter 193: Picking Bones in Eggs
She was the first concubine who couldn't bear it!
At this moment, everyone present could hear that Concubine Rou's words were full of aggression, and she was looking for this Meiji's stubble.
However, the Miki was not timid.
I saw Liu Man'er get up naturally, take the pipa handed by the court musician and sit down in the hall, "Man'er will sing a pipa song to the two concubines." ”
That Liu Man'er's face is like a silver basin, her eyes are the same as apricots, her lips are not dotted but contain Dan, and her eyebrows are not painted but verdant.
She played the pipa and sang the music at the same time, which had a hazy charm of holding the pipa and half-covering her face.
A pair of slender jade hands compared to the orchid fingers, holding the pipa in his arms vertically, pressing the strings with his left hand, and playing with the five fingers of his right hand.
In addition, as soon as her voice opened, she began to sing slowly.
However, after only singing a few words, Concubine Rou couldn't help frowning.
It's not that this Liu Man'er sings badly, but sings too well.
It is said that good songs make people drunk, and bad songs make people sleep.
This Liu Man'er's voice is the kind that can make people drunk.
If a man listens, he is afraid that he will get drunk in her gentle country.
And when Liu Man'er sings the song, the heart is in harmony with God, God is in harmony with appearance, and appearance is in harmony with form.
The cherry "babbling" barely broke the soul of everyone present.
This made Concubine Rou can't help but think that if this Liu Man'er plays and sings in front of the emperor, wouldn't she be able to sing the emperor's soul?
Thinking of this, she didn't wait for Liu Man'er to finish singing, then raised her hand and signaled Liu Man'er to stop.
Seeing that Concubine Rou was signaling above, Liu Man'er stopped playing and singing and looked at Concubine Rou.
Concubine Rou said lightly: "The singing is not bad, but this babbling is like dying of breath, it hurts to hear the liver of the palace, and the song you sing is too sad and not suitable for the palace." ”
Although she thinks this one sings well, she just wants to pick the bones in the eggs.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present knew that Concubine Rou was deliberately finding fault, but no one dared to say it.
But Liu Man'er said to herself: "Rou Guifei Niangniang, there is indeed some sadness in front of this song, because it is about a poor scholar......"
"This palace doesn't have the time to listen to you talk about this." Concubine Rou directly interrupted Liu Man'er's words.
Liu Man'er didn't talk about the content of the song again, but explained: "Niangniang, this song is cheerful at the end, if you don't believe it, I can finish singing it to you." ”
"No need." Concubine Rou waved her hand again and again, looking very impatient.
It's as if the tune that Liu Man'er sings is simply unbearable.
She just said to the female officers outside the screen: "I see that what is written on this roster is all false, and what is proficient in music and rhythm is nothing more than that, so I will send him back to his hometown the way he came." ”
As soon as these words came out, many of the show girls present were stunned.
They didn't dare to look at Concubine Rou at all, for fear that if they looked at each other, they would be the next to return home.
Liu Man'er was even more speechless, thinking that Rou Guifei understood opera or not?
But Concubine Rou's position was there, and she didn't say much, but she was a little unconvinced.
In this regard, Concubine Wen on the side said: "Concubine Rou is probably not used to listening to opera, in fact, she is like this in opera, the palace thinks she sings very well, only listen to it once, and then the sound lingers, and it will not stop for three days." ”
She first recognized Liu Man'er's playing and singing, and then turned her head and asked the female officials outside the screen, "What do you think?" ”
The female officials looked at each other inside the screen, and finally a female official spoke truthfully, "Back to Concubine Wen's words, this show girl is indeed excellent at playing and singing, and she is a rare pair of wonderful voices and good voices." ”
Hearing this, Liu Man'er breathed a sigh of relief, she can be regarded as a knowledgeable person, otherwise she would be wronged today.
However, Concubine Rou didn't care about this, she switched from commenting and singing, to personally attacking Liu Man'er.
"Anyway, the palace just thinks she's not good, I heard that she has a bad reputation in the Jiangnan area, and she has a foxy face, such a person can't enter the harem."
In and out of the words, it is implied that Liu Man'er's identity as a beauty is not advisable.
Liu Man'er's face turned red when she was said, but it was difficult to refute.
If you want her to say, what if this Rou Guifei is from a good background? It's not so feminine!
Compared with Concubine Rou's target, it was Concubine Wen who helped Liu Man'er speak, "Concubine Rou's words are bad, since she can go through layers of screening, she is an innocent and clean woman, and she is qualified in the rest of the assessments, so she can't be sent back at will." ”
"The emperor asked us to come to investigate, then we have to act according to the rules, don't judge people by their appearance, and act in a mood."
The meaning of these words is obvious, implying that Concubine Rou was jealous of Liu Man'er's appearance, so she wanted to send Liu Man'er away.
Originally, today's assessment was mainly based on the assessment of female officials, and if Concubine Wen and Concubine Shu spoke, it could also play a certain role.
But he was able to convince people, saying that it was on the point, and that the two concubines must be united in the front.
But if the female official and Concubine Wen both think that Liu Man'er is good, and Concubine Rou is not the number one, she naturally has nothing to say.
She glanced at Concubine Wen with her residual eyes, and had to say, "In this case, this matter will be handled by Concubine Wen and the female official." ”
Then, she turned her head to look at Concubine Wen, "Next, my sister will inspect their talents." ”
Heh, Concubine Wen has always blamed the chief for being good at dancing and being sleek.
She wants to see who Concubine Wen is looking for next, or who to cover.
It's best not to let her catch it, otherwise she won't let Concubine Wen get her way!
With a faint smile on the corner of Concubine Wen's mouth, she first glanced at Concubine Rou, and then looked at the show girls below.
Finally, his eyes fell on the fifth show girl on the right.
After Wen Guifei locked on the target, she said directly: "Wen Haiqiong, the daughter of General Wen." ”
"The courtiers are here." The one named Wen Haiqiong stood up.
Concubine Wen nodded slightly at the beautiful girl, "This palace heard that you are dancing well, so let's dance a song." ”
"Yes." The show girl named Wen Haiqiong walked to the middle.
When Concubine Rou heard that this show girl's surname was Wen, she felt tired.
As a result, she looked at the roster, and sure enough, it was Concubine Wen's cousin.
Wen Guifei kept telling her to act according to the rules, but Wen Guifei wanted to go through the back door to her relatives through her relationship!
Then, as long as she is there today, there is no way!
is probably the reason for practicing dance all year round, that Wen Haiqiong has a slender posture and light steps.
To the music of the court band, she waved her long sleeves, and her waist danced gracefully like a wicker.
After the dance, Concubine Wen said to Wen Haiqiong: "This palace was a little impetuous when I saw that you were just holding red rice, but it was better to dance beautifully, which can make up for a lot." ”
"Moreover, now in this harem, there is a lack of a woman like you who is good at dancing to accompany the emperor."
In the past, among the harem, Jiang Cai was the best at dancing.
But after Jiang Cairen is gone, there will be no one in the harem who is good at dancing.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Wen is helping Wen Haiqiong speak.
But Concubine Rou is not happy!
