Chapter 166: Anger at the Chen family
Ying Guifei hurriedly stood up, but because she had been kneeling for a long time, her knees were numb, her body was weak, and she almost fell to the ground. ”
"Got it!" Concubine Ying hurriedly pushed her away, felt empty, and sat on the chair next to her!
"Bengong also looked at the roster just now, Bengong thinks that there are so many daughters of the official family who came today, and he is very happy, is this talent show, let's start with Chen's scholar's house?" The queen glanced at everyone with a smile and said.
"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly responded.
Mrs. Chen hurriedly let her daughter stand out, only to see that she was handsome, wearing a long scarlet dress, which made her slender figure!
"Courtesy Chen Ying'er wishes the Queen Mother a happy birthday!" After the crisp sound was finished, she bowed to her.
"Hmmm! Chen Ying'er's name is good, and her voice is like a warbler's cry! That's a good sound! He nodded in satisfaction.
Chen Ying'er's little face was crimson, and her eyes were like water waves!
"I don't know what talent Ying'er brought to the Queen Mother?" The queen looked at her and asked softly.
"The courtiers are stupid, and they are going to perform a tambourine for the Queen Mother!" Chen Ying'er said crisply.
"Tambourine? It's very fresh! What kind of tambourine is it? The queen was surprised.
Chen Ying'er didn't answer, but just waved her backhand, and a small red drum appeared in the palms of the two white and jade palms! The snare drum is as long as her palm, and it looks so exquisite!
"Such a small tambourine? It's really the first time I've seen this palace, Concubine Ying? Have you ever seen one? The queen turned sideways to look at the silent Concubine Ying on the side.
"Nope! I haven't seen the concubine before! Concubine Ying hurriedly cheered up and shook her head.
"The performance of this tambourine is very rare, Ying'er, you start, if the performance is good, the mourning family will be rewarded!" The Queen Mother said approvingly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Chen Ying'er smiled softly, and as soon as the palace skirt turned, the little red drum in her hand made a pleasant sound!
Her tambourine flapped in the palm of her hand, making a thumping sound, bringing people into a wonderful realm! Sometimes delicate as a stream, sometimes as awe-inspiring as thunder! The person who only listens blends into it and enters the artistic conception she weaves!
Song Beige listened carefully, I have to say, this Chen Ying'er's performance is very good, although the small drum in her hand is very small, but the sound is sometimes atmospheric, sometimes light, so that she is almost intoxicated!
"Humph! Play for the gallery! Gao Yu'er on the side said coldly.
"That's it! It's hard to hear! Gao Suer also covered her ears in agreement!
Song Beige showed a sneering smile on his face, the two sisters still held a grudge against Mrs. Chen for helping the Liu family speak!
Just thinking about it, Chen Ying'er's performance over there had ended, and I saw her breathing slightly panting, and her little face was flushed crimson, what a delicate little beauty.
"Not bad! That's great! Sure enough, it deserves to be the pearl of the palm of the university scholar! This tambourine is a must! The Queen Mother praised.
Gao Yu'er's eyes flashed, and she said in a deep voice: "The pearl of this scholar's palm, not only is the tambourine a must, but even this skirt is also a must!" ”
The queen looked slightly stunned, looked at Gao Yu'er and said, "Miss Gao? What do you mean by that? ”
"Queen, don't you see? This palace skirt of Miss Chen is made of the best jade cicada silk, right? Extravagant! Let's ask how many such skirts are there in our country? Gao Yu'er said coldly.
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Chen's face suddenly changed, and she rushed forward in panic and protected Chen Ying'er behind her!
"Miss Gao, what are you talking about, why don't I know? It's just ordinary Huajin material! It's the same as what we're wearing! Mrs. Chen said hurriedly.
"Don't say it's the same as what we wear, we can't compare to your wealthy Chen family, look at it, the luster of this skirt, is this really an ordinary Huajin can have?" Gao Yuer stepped forward and pulled Miss Chen's skirt and said.
The queen frowned, she knew her niece, she wouldn't just point out the mistakes of the Chen family for no reason, she must have had some kind of holiday with the Chen family, but in front of everyone, she was inconvenient to ask, so she looked Chen Ying'er up and down, and really felt that her scarlet dress was a little more eye-catching than her own!
"Mrs. Chen? Don't lie, is this skirt really an ordinary brocade? The queen asked in a deep voice.
Mrs. Chen shuddered, and her expression subconsciously hesitated!
Chen Ying'er was in a hurry, grabbed her arm suddenly, and shouted: "Mother! ”
Mrs. Chen came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Yes!" It's indeed Huajin! ”
"Huajin? Mrs. Chen, you have to think clearly, if you lie to the queen, it is really a crime! Gao Yu'er asked her tightly.
"Me! I'm not lying! Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and denied.
When death is dying, he is still hard-mouthed! Gao Yu'er's eyes flashed with mockery, and she saluted, "Queen Mother, in order to show fairness, the concubine hopes to invite the master in the embroidery room in the palace to come, let him argue for himself, and see if this is jade cicada silk or ordinary Huajin!" ”
"Ask the master to come and distinguish, of course you can!" The queen took a closer look at Gao Yu'er before nodding slowly.
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her legs trembled in shock, and she suddenly knelt on the ground with a pop!
"Queen Mother, this is indeed not Jade Cicada Silk! Not really! Mrs. Chen said almost with tears in her voice.
The queen's phoenix eyes were half narrowed, and she looked at Chen Ying'er's little face white and bloodless, so she said coldly: "Since it's not, then let the master of the embroidery room verify it, yes or no, I will always give you justice!" ”
Mrs. Chen's eyes flashed, how could she let the master come over to verify it, wouldn't everything have to be debunked? She gritted her teeth and glanced at her daughter, who was already frightened and had no idea, and said calmly: "The queen mother spares her life, this is indeed not a jade cicada, and the concubine dares to guarantee her life!" ”
"Then what do you mean this is the same Huajin as us?" Gao Yu'er laughed sarcastically.
Mrs. Chen took a deep breath and said, "This is not Huajin, this is Yun Brocade!" ”
"If what this palace remembers is correct, this cloud brocade is the best satin specially provided by Jiangnan, right? There are not even a few horses in the palace, except for the palace, Ying Guifei, and Concubine Xi who gave birth to Princess Zhaoyun for the emperor, each of the three of us has one horse, no, there are two horses on the Queen Mother's side, which are also registered! The rest of the concubines don't have this kind of superb fabric at all! I didn't expect your Chen family to have it! The queen said coldly.
"Queen Mother, don't forget, Mrs. Chen's maiden family, that is a big silk merchant in Jiangnan, there are good materials, naturally you have to use it for your family first!" Gao Yu'er said coldly on the side.
When Mrs. Chen heard that her mother's family was already involved, she hissed and shouted: "No, this has nothing to do with my mother's family!" This cloud brocade is my own silkworm dyeing and weaving! It's not from the Chen family in Jiangnan! ”
"Oh yes! Our Mrs. Chen used to be a silkworm girl! Gao Yu'er laughed contemptuously.
Mrs. Chen suddenly felt that her face was hot, and she was standing there, in contact with all kinds of mocking eyes, she almost wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get in! It's just a shame for herself, and she even affected her daughter who was not out of the cabinet, and her tambourine performance was so good, this should have been her headline! Unexpectedly, the style of painting changed sharply and evolved into an ending that was ridiculed by everyone! She blamed herself and was angry, blaming herself for not provoking Gao Yuer, angry that Gao Yuer shouldn't be so closely chased!
