Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Contest Begins
Zhou Ruo'er was about to ask more details, when a shrill shout came from not far away.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
"This is the most popular father-in-law around the queen's mother, if you run into it, you can call him Luo's father-in-law, although the voice is not very good, but the person is very kind. Zhou Ruoer introduced.
Shen Sangyu bowed, "Okay." ”
With Grandpa Luo's voice, everyone stood up one after another and looked at the source of the sound.
A woman dressed in a gorgeous costume was supported by the palace maid and slowly walked towards the pavilion on a high place.
Although she is in her forties, the years do not seem to have stayed on her, her skin is like congealed fat, her eyes are like cutting autumn water, and you can see the breathtaking power, affinity and severity coexist, so that those who see it dare not make a mistake.
The mother of a nation, as it should be.
Shen Sangyu followed everyone to salute, and her small figure was inconspicuous among the crowd of people wearing red and green.
The queen raised her hand, "Everyone is exempt, take a seat." ”
Shen Sangyu was about to sit down, when he heard the queen mother ask, "Where is the girl from the Bohou Mansion?"
"The queen is looking for you. Zhou Ruoer happily pushed Shen Sangyu's arm.
It was even more joyful than when she was asked by the queen.
But without waiting for Shen Sangyu to answer, Wei Xuewei, who was not far away, had already stood up elegantly and saluted the queen's mother, "Back to the queen's mother, the people's daughter is the fourth girl from the Bohou Mansion, named Wei Xuewei." ”
Wei Xuewei's gestures were down-to-earth and generous, and she couldn't find the slightest fault.
The followers of Prince Shuo and Princess Shuo discussed.
"This is the future daughter-in-law of Prince Shuo, it is really unusual, and the queen will call her name as soon as she comes. ”
"Isn't it, I heard that this person has learned and is good-looking, and Queen Ren likes it when she sees it. ”
"But doesn't the prince have a princess who hasn't passed through the door, what about these four girls?"
"What are you afraid of, as long as the queen likes it, in a word, what's so strange about changing the princess!"
......
Wei Xuewei sat next to Prince Shuo, and naturally listened to these words.
Very proud, he straightened his back again, so that he could look more and more beautiful.
Prince Shuo and Princess Shuo were also quite satisfied, but her face did not show the landscape, and when she picked up the teacup, she blocked the slightly raised corners of her mouth.
In the next moment, the queen's words caused everyone to be in an uproar.
Seeing Wei Xuewei who took the initiative to stand up, the queen's brows frowned slightly, and her tone couldn't hear joy and anger, but it already made Wei Xuewei want to get into the cracks.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the niece of Mrs. Bohou, not a girl from Bohou's Mansion, you are young, and you don't remember your identity wrongly. ”
With a light sentence, the fact that Wei Xuewei put gold on her face was exposed.
Wei Xuewei was so embarrassed that she pulled her handkerchief, and she couldn't see the grace of Fang Cai, and stammered to explain, "Back to the queen's mother, it is the people's daughter who is as kind as she is in the Bohou Mansion and at home, so she will ...... will subconsciously think that ......"
Before she could finish explaining, the queen waved at her and motioned for her to shut up and sit down.
His gaze swept to the crowd again, "So, where is the girl from Bohou Mansion?"
Zhou Ruo'er held back a smile and pushed Shen Sangyu's arm again, "This time it's the protagonist's turn to appear." ”
Shen Sangyu glanced at her with disgust, and then stood up.
Salute to the queen, "Back to the queen, Shen Sangyu, I wish the queen every day happy and never worried." ”
"It's sweet," the queen chuckled, "to borrow your good words." ”
Hearing this, people who were familiar with the queen's mother couldn't help but look at Shen Sangyu in surprise.
The queen mother listened to such and such auspicious words every day, but she had never answered so kindly.
Facing Shen Sangyu, he was so affinity!
It's the first time!
I heard the queen mother say, "In the future, if I have free time, I will come to the palace to walk around, I heard that you are very good-mouthed, just to relieve my boredom." ”
Shen Sangyu agreed, "Yes, the people's daughter is clumsy, if she can relieve the queen's boredom, it will be a blessing for the people's daughter." ”
The queen mother bowed her head again and let Shen Sangyu sit down.
It's just a few simple conversations, but it has already made the people around him start to stutter.
Zhou Ruo'er was very curious, "Does the queen know you, why do you want to talk to you alone." ”
Shen Sangyu thought silently for a long time.
Only then did he reply, "Probably because of the previous incident of my banditry, the saint and the queen mother are husband and wife, and they talked about me when they were free, and the queen mother was curious, so she asked me to get up and take a look." Shen Sangyu explained.
She couldn't think of anything other than that.
After all, there was no such thing on the Yaji in the previous life.
From beginning to end, the queen didn't look at her more, she always sat in the pavilion expressionlessly, and after choosing the first place, she left in a hurry.
In this life, a lot has changed.
"The Holy Lord must have praised you, so even the Queen Mother likes you very much. Zhou Ruoer said again.
Shen Sangyu chuckled, "Maybe." ”
The two laughed, and Wei Xuewei, who was not far away, cast a resentful look, and her nails were embedded in her palms without knowing the pain.
Why!
Shen Sangyu, a wild girl from the countryside, how can she get the love of the queen!
"Put your eyes away," Wei reprimanded in a low voice.
Wei Xuewei reluctantly withdrew her gaze, but she still couldn't stop her anger.
Why isn't Wei annoyed?
But if you collapse your face in front of everyone, you will be seen as a joke.
The more times like this, the more important it is to hold the shelf.
told Wei Xuewei, "Later, you will behave well at the Yaji, as long as you win the first place, you will still be a talented woman who is envied by everyone, which is much better than saying a few words to the queen." ”
Hearing this, Wei Xuewei also regained her consciousness slightly.
The people who come here today are second to see the excitement, and the main thing is to see whose girl can win the championship in one fell swoop.
Such a girl is going to be stepped on by the proposed person to break the threshold of the family.
With such a pursuit and reputation, the unhappiness just now is nothing.
"Auntie, look at it," Wei Xuewei smiled slightly, "I will definitely behave well and impress everyone!"
Wei naturally believed it.
After all, when she was a child, the Wei family cultivated Wei Xuewei to go to the position of the wife of a high-ranking official and nobleman.
Who can beat such hard work?
What is Shen Sangyu in the scenery just now?
As soon as he comes on stage, everyone will find that he is just a straw bag that can turn over his mouth.
No matter what, it's just a straw bale!
"Yes, everybody. Father-in-law Luo cleared his throat and took the wooden stick wrapped in red cloth handed by the palace maid, "Yaji competition as usual, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, start with the qin!"
The young ladies who couldn't wait stood up and began to approach the ring of the competition, ready to show their true kung fu.
Syllable!
With the sound of a gong, the Yaji competition officially began!
