He had a handsome face, but with a bit of evil spirit. The more Jin Ran looked at it, the more he felt that this guard was familiar, and he was secretly puzzled. The guard shook his head and looked at Jin Ran. He noticed Jin Ran's gaze.

Jin Ran was startled by his gloomy gaze. She knew that her direct gaze didn't feel very good. He smiled apologetically at the guard.

Maybe seeing Jin Ran smiling stupidly there, the guard also softened his expression, and he also smiled at Jin Ran and turned his head away.

The queen listened to the envoy and Hu Xiana's apology, her face was still not very good-looking, and she said coldly: "Princess Hu Xiana is also fifteen years old this year." At the age of fifteen, we are already about to start a family in the Chinese Dynasty. Fifteen years old is still young. I really don't know what to say. ”

The rest of the ladies and ladies also followed suit with a few sarcastic remarks about Hushana. Hu Xiana was so angry that she trembled, and the queen accepted it with satisfaction: "I see that you grew up in a barbarian land such as Xixia since you were a child, and you have no rules and knowledge. This palace will spare you once. If there is a next ......." The queen's eyes sharpened: "This palace doesn't care what kind of princess you are in Western Xia or Eastern Xia." ”

That Hu Xiana did not bow her head stiffly, and stood straight in the center of the hall. The queen was also bored when she saw that she was not in the oil and salt, and waved her hand to signal her to sit down and reveal the matter.

Princess Ming'an still felt insufficient, and she whispered to Jin Ran: "This Hu Xiana was not punished once for saying such things. ”

Jin Ran couldn't cry or laugh: "The queen has no way." After all, this Princess Hushana said that she was here to learn. ”

The queen had already ordered someone to set up the flower table, and she said with a smile: "Today's flower viewing banquet, how can it be called a banquet without a singing and dancing program?" Ladies and gentlemen, today there is no restriction on any form, whether it is singing or dancing. Even if you come up and write a big letter. Just let everyone have to watch, and that's it. ”

At this time, the real purpose of this banquet came to the choice of concubines and side concubines for the four princes.

As soon as these words came out, those young ladies who were thinking about the four princes couldn't help but be secretly anxious. They were all prepared for this trip. There are people with all kinds of musical instruments. And some people also quietly went to the side hall to change their dance costumes.

Jin Ran and Princess Ming'an, one is the lord of Jinrui and is engaged. And the other is a dignified princess, the sister of the fourth prince. This song and dance will not be the turn of the two of them anyway.

And the two of them are also happy and idle. While eating the special snacks made in the imperial dining room, they chatted with each other. From time to time, I also judge the talents of other noble girls.

The queen at the top could see the movements of the two of them clearly, and she actually felt a little pity in her heart. This Princess Ming'an doesn't count. Just talking about this Sheng Jinran, his figure, family background, and temperament, there is really nothing bad about it. It also looks like a thorny rose, and it looks good, which is also in line with the wishes of the four princes.

It's a pity that Queen ....... sighed softly, but it was a pity that she was preempted by Fang Guifei, who killed that day.

But it's useless to think too much about it. That Sheng Jinran's heart was already somewhat biased towards that Heavenly Halberd, and now he could only choose from the nobles in the capital. Pick a few who are worry-free and obedient. Let's spread the branches and leaves for your son.

That Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi also went up to perform alone. Although the two of them have already had a head and end with the four princes in advance. But there is only one position for the side concubine. Who is the side concubine and who is the concubine, this requires Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi to have a good fight

Sheng Jinlan should have been preparing for a long time in advance. She held a turquoise flute in her hand. This flute is crisp and turquoise. It was made of a single piece of jade. Among them, there is some white jade on the tail of the flute, forming a pattern like a phoenix's tail.

This turned out to be the phoenix flute!

The phoenix flute was passed down from the previous dynasty and was the favorite object of the founding queen of the previous dynasty. The sound of the flute is tactful and beautiful. But since the fall of the previous dynasty, this phoenix tail flute has never appeared in the eyes of the world. Today, it was actually held in the hands of this Sheng Jinlan.

The rest of the nobles also had good flutes who recognized the preciousness of the cui flute in Sheng Jinlan's hand, and couldn't help but exclaim. Sheng Jinlan couldn't help but feel proud when she looked at the envious and jealous eyes of others. She had never practiced flute before. But Wang inquired for her that when the queen was in the boudoir, she liked the sound of the flute the most.

Therefore, Sheng Jinlan practiced hard every day, and finally had a few songs that she could get her hands on. plus the phoenix tail flute that the second room of the Sheng family spent a lot of money to find...... Sheng Jinlan proudly glanced at Luo Yi, who was sitting in the next rules, this time, she won!

Sheng Jinlan stepped forward respectfully, and her words were a little flattering: "The courtiers have learned a variety of musical instruments since childhood. What a zither, a piano, but after learning so much, it is still a few flutes that the courtiers like the most. Today, the courtiers will present a song "Fenghe Yin" to you. ”

This "Fenghe Yin" is a song composed by the queen. Although Sheng Jinlan didn't say anything, her actions showed her meaning nakedly. Such an obvious intention made many people frown secretly, and some despised Sheng Jinlan's straightforward patting.

The queen just smiled in the face of such a direct flattery, and raised her hand to let Sheng Jinlan start.

Sheng Jinlan saw that the queen was silent, and she was actually a little flustered in her heart. But when she thought of her plans and the preciousness of this phoenix flute, she calmed down and began to play her own as she had practiced thousands of times a few days ago. 、

The song ended quickly. The queen's score is not very beautiful. It's not long, and there's no complicated technique. But even so, this Sheng Jinlan is also a beginner, although she uses a phoenix flute. But a piece of music is just a mediocre tune.

The queen's face was still faint, and she didn't say anything.

Sheng Jinlan didn't panic, she suddenly knelt in front of the queen: "Niangniang, Jinlan has never seen the queen from a distance when she entered the palace since she was a child. Today, the queen is so close, and the courtiers can see how noble you are, the queen. The courtiers once got this phoenix flute by chance. The courtiers feel that they are not worthy of this flute, and only the queen is worthy of this. The courtiers are willing to dedicate this phoenix tail flute to the mother! ”

The queen still smiled: "You have a heart." Come on, take down this phoenix flute. ”

Sheng Jinlan saw that the queen took the flute, and she felt a little confident in her heart. She originally felt that with her family background, she was nine out of ten against the side concubine. At this time, I am even more affirmative. I can't help but bring out a few points on my face.

I don't know who ranked in the order. After Sheng Jinlan is Luo Yi.

Jin Ran knew what Luo Yi was good at. Roy is extremely good at dancing. In his previous life, he was famous in Kyoto for a dance. I don't know how many clan nobles have bent their waists.

Na Luo Yi quietly ordered the two little fathers-in-law beside him. After a while, the two little fathers-in-law moved a small case.

Princess Ming'an muttered to herself: "What is this for?" You don't need to dance a lot, do you? ”

Luo Yi respectfully saluted the queen, and her tone was sweet and gentle: "Today, the queen mother, you don't know how many performances of Miss Kyoto have been watched. He must be very tired now. Luo Yi knows that he is not as dexterous as these young ladies, so he will write you a word today, and you can just enjoy it at will. This calligraphy and painting is not like singing and dancing, and it is gone after watching the song and dance for a while. Calligraphy and painting can stay with you for a long time, and when you want to see it, you can also take it out and take it out. ”

Her words were somewhat demeaning to the other ladies who performed cabaret instruments. Their faces were a little unnatural, but because of the queen's presence, they didn't dare to speak out.

It was the first time that the queen looked at this Roy differently. She knew that there were two people who went to Yunyu with her emperor. One of them, Sheng Jinlan, is the focus of her attention. As for the other Luo Yi, the queen didn't pay too much attention to her as just the daughter of a businessman who lost her father and mother.

But I didn't expect to see it today, this Luo Yi turned out to be a well-spoken person.

She couldn't help but nod secretly to both of them. Sheng Jinlan's family background and Roy's long-sleeved dance. Both of these girls have their own plans for the queen.

Roy wrote it quickly. She can also be regarded as a person who has read poetry and books since childhood. Although the words can't be compared with some people, they can be regarded as handsome and graceful, and they have their own style.

The queen sent someone to take Luo Yi's words by her side, looked at them carefully, and praised them with a smile: "Your words are also good, and you have worked hard at first glance." ”

Princess Ming'an couldn't help but pout when she saw that the queen and the two of them had praised each other.

Jin Ran whispered to Princess Ming'an: "Look, this is called a nest of snakes and rats." ”

The rest is also cookie-cutter. However, Roy's words still had a big impact on other people. Many people who are good at singing and dancing are inevitably a little intimidating.

However, the queen still encouraged everyone with a kind face.

Jin Ran didn't pay much attention to who the concubines of the four princes were. After all, no matter who it is, a husband like the four princes, whether it is a main concubine or a side concubine, there is no hope for the future.

But Jin Ran believes that Luo Yi and Sheng Jinlan probably won't care what kind of husband the four princes are. They only care about the identity of the four princes. After all, it was a prince.

Jinran is a little sad in my heart today. Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi in the previous life died of persecution in the broken temple. And now, these two people who seemed to be like sisters in their previous life have come to this situation.

Revenge, without even Jinran having to do anything, Sheng Jinlan and Luo Yi rushed to jump into the bottomless whirlpool of the Four Princes' Mansion.

"This palace knows that you are all here for the position of the fourth prince's side concubine." The queen has been smiling today, and at this time she seems to have found a suitable candidate, and she is even more smiling.

She took a sip of the tea on the table: "I don't sell Guanzi either." Sheng Jinlan, Luo Yi. The queen read the names of the two men.

She didn't look at the ecstatic expressions of the two people whose names were called, and said to herself: "You two have both ability and political integrity." Hired as the concubine of the four princes. ”
