But now even if Xiao Yao is worried, he can't reach it, and he can only secretly hope that his grandmother can see the opportunity to act.

Otherwise, if she really annoys the Empress Dowager Zhong, my grandmother is afraid that she will suffer a big loss. If my grandmother had gone her own way, it might have turned out badly.

In Cining Palace, Mu Xuanxuan and Zhong Taojiao came and went, and they played very beautifully.

Gu Fanghua was secretly a little surprised, this Mu Xuanxuan was not an embroidered pillow, and it was somewhat weighty to be able to hold on to Jiaojiao for so long.

What was more surprising than Gu Fanghua was Mu Xuanxuan. She didn't expect that Zhong Taojiao's kung fu would be so good that she could draw with herself.

His own kung fu has been honed on the battlefield, has Zhong Taojiao also been on the battlefield? Why haven't I heard of it.

Mu Xuanxuan staggered Zhong Taojiao's sword, saw Zhong Taojiao reveal a flaw, and stretched out her leg to kick her abdomen.

This was right in Zhong Taojiao's arms, and she raised her hand and slid the sword directly at Mu Xuanxuan's face, forcing her to return to the sword to block. Then he took the opportunity to bully him and gave Mu Xuanxuan a slap on the back.

Mu Xuanxuan was staggered a few steps, and when she looked back, she saw that Zhong Taojiao had already pulled up her sword and put away her sword, so she could only grit her teeth and endure this breath.

Empress Dowager Zhong clapped her hands lightly and said: "Very good, Princess Dali and Jiaojiao are both good, both have rewards!" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After the two thanked them, they each returned to their seats, and Mama Fang put two night pearls the size of pigeon eggs on their tables.

After Mu Xuanxuan sat down, she was still panicked, and said, "Empress Dowager Zhong, I didn't expect Miss Zhong's kung fu to be so good. Don't know who to study with? Could it be that Miss Zhong has really been on the battlefield? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Jiaojiao with a smile and motioned for her to answer herself.

Zhong Taojiao smiled and replied: "Princess Dali, your kung fu is also good, I followed my brother to practice casually." The battlefield is on the ground, but not as good as the princess but a real female general. ”

Gu Fanghua looked at Zhong Taojiao with a little horror.

Today, Jiaojiao speaks one by one, which is very different from the usual grinning.

Mu Xuanxuan was still not satisfied, and opened her mouth to invite the battle: "Actually, what I am best at is not swordsmanship, but a long whip, I don't know if I can find a time to learn from Miss Zhong again." ”

"Always with you!"

Zhong Taojiao immediately responded, and her bold appearance made all the old ladies present feel a sense of vitality.

After diverging from this topic, everyone refocused on the banquet, and someone spoke again.

"The Queen Mother, I haven't been back to Beijing for decades, and many of you here today don't know each other. Watching singing and dancing, why don't I let my niece and granddaughter also dance a song for everyone? ”

This one opened his mouth was actually Lord Fuling, and many old ladies showed meaningful smiles.

The lord of Fuling didn't see it, the schadenfreude in their eyes, and they felt that everyone was very concerned, hoping that Fang Miaomiao could take the opportunity to break into the top level of the female dependents in the Beijing circle.

"Old Madam Xiao, I can't see it, you still like this niece and nephew. It's okay, the mourning family will give her a chance, let her show her hand, dance well, and the mourning family will be rewarded. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong took a long time, watched Fang Miaomiao get up and leave the table, and came to the middle of the hall.

I saw that she made a blessing, and her round face and eyes were full of coquettishness. said in a melodious voice: "Queen Mother, the courtiers still have something to prepare." Can you ask this grandmother to help her courtiers prepare? ”

Empress Dowager Zhong squinted, and Fang Miaomiao designated Mama Fang. He smiled faintly and said, "Amber, go, help Miss Fang prepare." ”

Fang Miaomiao's smile froze, but soon she smiled sweetly again, and whispered in her ear to tell Amber a few things that she needed to prepare.

After a short time, Amber took a few eunuchs and carried all the things that Fang Miaomiao wanted to prepare to the top of the main hall. It turned out to be two embroidery frames, as well as a desk and the four treasures of the study room on it.

Fang Miaomiao personally commanded and listed the embroidery frames on the left and right sides. The desk was placed on the throne facing the Empress Dowager Zhong, and the four-foot rice paper was fixed on the embroidery frame.

After she skillfully polished the ink and issued the pen, she began to let the musician prepare to play "Flat Sand and Falling Geese".

Gu Fanghua propped up her chin slightly with her elbows, and watched Fang Miaomiao toss with a smile.

The music is on!

Fang Miaomiao danced, first opened with a gesture of saying goodbye to the willows, danced elegantly with the music, picked up the pen, and began to wave wantonly on the left and right embroidery frames.

Zhong Taojiao leaned over and whispered, "What is she doing?" ”

"It should be an imitation of Mrs. Rui in the book, who is dedicated to four purposes, can sing and dance, and can also paint calligraphy at the same time."

Gu Fanghua guessed correctly, Fang Miaomiao was in the song and dance, interspersed with calligraphy and painting. On the rice paper on the left, she writes with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and on the right rice paper, she moves the pen like flying to draw.

Yu Wu was shocked and asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, this Fang Miao Miao didn't just come back from northern Shaanxi, it is a poor and remote country, how can she reach the realm of Madame Rui's poetry and painting?" ”

Mrs. Wang was not shocked, and said with a smile: "Wu'er, this pair is definitely not easy to say, I think it's just Dong Shi's imitation." ”

There were a lot of private discussions at the scene, and the noise reached Fang Miaomiao's ears, and she couldn't help but show a smug smile. At the same time, she has been practicing the stunt of poetry and painting for five years, and the wind and rain are continuous, just to one day, to be able to shock the four fields in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, God lived up to his wishes, and he had the opportunity to return to Beijing and be able to appear in the capital and in the palace.

When the song was over, Fang Miaomiao skillfully put down her pen, calmed her rapid heartbeat slightly, and stepped forward and said: "The courtiers have been completed, and I respectfully invite the Queen Mother to take a look." ”

Amber commanded the eunuch and carried the two pieces to face the Empress Dowager Zhong.

Gu Fanghua saw that on the rice paper on the left, there was a poem "Qingping Le". On the rice paper on the right, a picture of a thousand mountains and birds is drawn.

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at it with a smile and did not express her opinion, and then asked the eunuchs to pull the rice paper and show it to others.

The ladies and ladies sitting in the hall all looked at them one by one, except for the lord of Fuling, all of them were silent. This situation made the lord of Fuling have a bad premonition, and he didn't know what went wrong.

Or Mrs. Wang is not kind and uncovers the mystery.

"Queen Mother, in my opinion, I still want to reward this little girl. It's not easy to practice this, and I don't know how many years I've been practicing, so it's pitiful. ”

As soon as Mrs. Wang's words fell, before the Empress Dowager Zhong spoke, the Lord of Fuling couldn't hold back.

"Old Madam Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Wang made a look of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "It's all my fault, I forgot that Mrs. Xiao hasn't returned to Beijing for decades, and I don't know that in Beijing now, such talents are all over the streets." ”

"All over the streets?"

Lord Fuling was shocked, and what shocked her even more was that the old lady of Zhuo Wangfu said with a smile: "Old sister of the Xiao family, since Wanchun Lou competed for the flower in a few years ago, Xiaoxiang Chun'er performed poetry and painting in public, and no young lady has practiced this. ”
