Just without waiting for her to speak, Zhang Ruxue sat back at the table, she raised her eyes and looked slightly in the direction of Concubine Chen on the main seat.

The woman's demeanor was calm, her smile was gentle, she looked extraordinary, and her appearance was even more than every Beijing woman present.

It's just that she and Concubine Chen don't know each other, why did Concubine Chen use that box of pastries to help her just now?

She observed it just now, since the second sister ate Concubine Chen's pastry, drank a cup of tea, and began to run to Gongfang.

It is precisely because of this that no one continues to trouble her, so that she can be in peace for a short time.

At this time, most of the show girls at the palace banquet have come up, and the nobles in the capital are not just a gimmick, most of them are worthy of their names, and their appearance, family background and talents are all admirable.

Seeing his daughter show her talent in front of so many dignitaries and royal relatives, the parents at the male and female seats are also smiling, and even the in-laws who look at each other have sent their maids to express their hearts.

Shang Kelan drank the hot tea in her hand from time to time, and looked at the Jinluan Hall with a smile, there were so many beauties that even the Queen Mother was a little dazzled.

But fortunately, there were not hundreds of show girls participating in this draft, and after a while, it was the turn of the last, Zhao Kexi.

This was specially arranged by Zhao Kehan to let Zhao Kexi appear in the finale.

Shang Kelan put down the teacup and watched it carefully.

A good-looking dance suit, snow-like skin, a slender figure and a beautiful appearance all attracted the men present.

The Queen Mother nodded with a satisfied smile and said to her, "Let's start." ”

On the side, Wanqin said: "Play music!" ”

The musicians of the Church Workshop immediately began to play.

It's just that as soon as the music started, Zhao Kehan stood up and said: "Queen Mother, since this Xi'er is the last show girl, how can I have some color, the concubine heard that Concubine Chen's piano skills are outstanding, why don't you ask Concubine Chen's mother to show her talent and present a song for the guests, how about it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall that was still lively just now instantly quieted down, and many people turned their attention to Zhao Kehan and Shang Kelan.

It was rumored that Concubine Chen and Concubine Jia were at odds, but I didn't expect it to be true.

I saw Concubine Chen dressed in purple and Concubine Jia dressed in red, and the momentum of the two concubines seemed to be comparable.

But if Concubine Chen obeyed Concubine Jia's words, it would prove that her status in the palace was always one level lower than Concubine Jia.

And if Concubine Chen does this, even the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will be inferior!

Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking directly at Zhao Kehan, Zhao Kehan smiled, and looked at Shang Kelan without stage fright.

The atmosphere in the field stiffened, and even the Queen Mother was a little hesitant whether to help Concubine Chen.

But seeing Concubine Chen, she suddenly smiled, got up and walked down the stairs slowly, and said: "It's okay, this palace has been here for so long, and I am also a little excited, but I haven't played the piano for a long time, if there is anything wrong, I have to ask all the adults and ladies to bear with me." ”

As she spoke, she curtsied, and everyone hurriedly got up and saluted back, not daring to accept her salute.

It's just that Zhao Kehan seemed to have expected her to say this, and the corners of her mouth actually hooked up a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

But she quickly lowered her head, and no one noticed her smile. Dede

Zhao Kexi was also very calm, as if he had already discussed it with Zhao Kehan.

No one knows what Zhao Kehan's idea was when he suddenly made this request to Concubine Chen.

"Gardenia, go get the piano."

Shang Kelan turned her head slightly to tell Gardenia, Gardenia nodded yes, and ordered someone to bring a small coffee table, burn incense and play the piano.

Shang Kelan is the concubine in the palace, so naturally she can't just be behind the scenes, so she doesn't have to go to the place where the priest is to play music.

It's just that Gardenia just moved to the piano, Shang Kelan sat down, and was about to pluck the strings, but saw a woman in blue step forward and respectfully saluted the Queen Mother and Zhao Kehan: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Jia, the courtiers invite themselves to play with Concubine Chen." ”

Shang Kelan's eyes paused slightly, then raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the passer, it turned out to be Zhang Ruxue just now, the daughter of Master Zhang, a cabinet scholar, Zhang Ruxue.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, this Zhang Ruxue said this, which can be regarded as a relief for her.

So, the Queen Mother nodded and said with a smile: "Good boy, the mourning family remembers you, the pipa you played is really like fairy music, and the craftsmanship is very outstanding. ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

The sentence was accurate, but it made Zhang Ruxue breathe a sigh of relief.

After thanking the Queen Mother, everyone was quiet, and Zhao Kexi stood on the stage of the Jinluan Palace's performance, ready to move.

Shang Kelan took a slow breath, then plucked the strings with both hands, and a sound floated out of her hand.

As if it was a temptation, after a note floated out, the rest of the piano notes were endless, and a beautiful and melodious song was formed under Shang Kelan's hands and sounded in the Jinluan Palace.

As Shang Kelan's movements kept changing, Zhang Ruxue held the pipa and sat ten meters away from her left, and she had been patiently observing Shang Kelan's movements.

When the sound of the piano reached a turning point, the sound of the pipa sounded at the right time.

What is amazing is that Shang Kelan's piano sound and Zhang Ruxue's pipa sound are mixed together, not only did not dominate, but formed an ingenious fusion, which was more beautiful than those piano sounds just now!

I don't know where the fireflies flew from, the fireflies flashed to Zhao Kexi's side, moving around Zhao Kexi's dance, just like the scene of the Yaotai fairy descending to earth, she danced beautifully, intoxicating, as if everyone saw that it was not a dancing girl at all, but a fairy!

Even the Queen Mother couldn't help but be stupid, she didn't expect this Zhao Kexi to be such a hidden woman, and people couldn't see her magic at all!

Shang Kelan hadn't played like this for a long time, her heart seemed to have reached a realm, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Ruxue, Zhang Ruxue's eyes were also slightly bright, and she raised her eyes to look at her at the right time.

The two looked at each other, and the sound of the piano seemed to reach a kind of resonance, there was a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in a foreign country, this song is getting better and better!

Immediately, Shang Kelan smiled at Zhang Ruxue, Zhang Ruxue nodded at her, the two of them had a slow hand speed from slow to fast, and the sound of the piano became more urgent, as if they were about to reach a climax, and everyone's hearts were also tugging with the sound of the piano and Zhao Kexi's dancing!

Everyone stared intently at the stage, and no one would take their eyes off first!

Suddenly, when playing the piano was rising, when Shang Kelan was about to show off her skills, she felt sick to her stomach in the bottom of her heart, as if something was about to gush out of her throat!

Shang Kelan's heart jumped, and a bad feeling swelled up.

The piano in front of her was slowly blurring in her eyes.

In order not to affect this piece and Zhang Ruxue's ensemble, Shang Kelan held on to her spirit, biting her tongue tightly, and even the tip of her tongue overflowed with blood!
