"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian. There are double carps, playing with each other in the blue waves. Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf south. Who is the daughter in the depths of the lotus leaves, laughing and throwing a lotus across the water.

Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian. The owner is not a sorrowful girl, and her appearance is beautiful and beautiful. Fourteen can read books, and fifteen can sew shirts. Sixteen lotus picking, Ling Ge is idle. Wear lotus leaves under the sun, and smile on the edge of the south pond. ”

"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian. The water is covered with empty emerald color, and the flowers bloom cold and red. Passers-by are fortunate to meet here. Mengjun gave lotus root, and the heart of the lotus root is inextricably linked. Mengjun gave lotus fruit, and his heart was as bitter as frying.

Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian. How easy is it to pick lotus, how difficult is it to stay in a horse, the geese in the distant mountains are crying constantly, and the clouds in the far pool are as white as sails. The bell is urging the guests to go, and the long way is long.

Lead my green horse and raise my willow silk whip. Step on the road when I come, and find my old joy. Looking back, Wangjun has been across the shore, waving goodbye to tears in his eyes. Seeing Jun covering his tears, watching Jun laugh and move the boat, he was thinking about it, and he couldn't speak.

Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves empty fields, Mo Yan picks lotus, Mo Yan picks lotus, lotus pond west wind blows incense, and a night of guest dreams is like water cold. ”

The song depicts the beautiful scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the purity and liveliness of the lotus picking girls and their sincere and sweet love.

Singing in this cold night, it is particularly eye-catching.

The emperor turned the golden cup in his hand, staring intently at the masked woman singing, his face was obscure.

Cai Wei flashed her eyes, thinking to herself like this, the emperor is afraid that he will be a little interesting to that singer, tonight, I don't know if he will leave her in the palace?

This is such a young woman, although she can be the emperor's woman, in the end she accompanies the dying old emperor with her young age, but it is glorious, but what fun can it be?

However, everyone has different pursuits, and some people are keen on glory and wealth, and this choice may be the best.

She can't take care of these things, she just sweeps the snow in front of the door.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers. Everyone was immersed in this beautiful song, and they could hardly extricate themselves.

"Papapa", the emperor actually applauded, "I have never heard such a beautiful tune, this is a new tune?" Well, the words are well written, the tunes are graceful and listening, and the people who sing the songs are better. ”

When all the civil and military officials saw that the emperor praised this song like this, they naturally followed suit and applauded. There was thunderous applause for a while, and the singer slowly stepped forward and leaned down to thank her.

Lin Qianzhong was waiting by the emperor's side, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bent down and took a step forward, and whispered, "Back to the emperor, this is the granddaughter of the former prince of the country, and it is not a new song from the Internal Affairs Office." ”

"Mu Shiyin?" The emperor frowned, as if he couldn't remember, "Is that the tall and black-faced Henan man?" I remember he's long gone. ”

"Exactly, the emperor has a good memory." Lin Qianzhong said with a smile.

"I didn't expect his granddaughter to fall out like this, and she is a family with Lu Laojiu's daughter-in-law, right? It's just that why do you cover your face, could it be that there are some scars on your face? The emperor wanted to see Mu Caiping's face, and his tone became a little more impatient.

Lin Qianzhong smiled and beckoned to Mu Caiping, "Why don't you remove the veil quickly?" ”

On the other hand, he accompanied Xiaoyi attentively in front of the emperor, "This is not the first time that the girl has sung in public, if it weren't for the face of the slave, people wouldn't dare to come." ”

"Hehe, you have a heart." The emperor was in a good mood, his eyes looked at Mu Caiping who was slowly removing the veil, and looked up and down.

Mu Caiping is already good-looking, beautiful and lovely, with a sharp energy between her eyebrows and eyes, and her wet eyes are like a gentle deer, which is indeed very fresh for the emperor who is approaching his twilight years.

Although the concubines around him are all beautiful and lovely, they are all old and yellow, and now when they see this tender cucumber, how can they not have green light in their eyes?

"What's your name? Sing very well, I like to listen to it. The emperor asked Mu Caiping with a smile, and there was a trace of indescribable ambiguity in his voice.

Although Mu Caiping saw the emperor for the first time, Lin Qianzhong had trained him in advance, and he had all passed the etiquette, and this time he just thought that he would be prosperous from now on after entering the emperor's blue eyes, and he was even more competitive, so he put the panic behind him, and used all the etiquette rules that he didn't know how many times he had practiced at home, but it also seemed generous.

"The emperor's words, the little daughter Mu Caiping, was taken by her deceased grandfather, from the "Book of Songs", "Yu Yi Caiping? the shore of the South Stream; How to collect algae? Walk in the other. ”

"What a good one. Reward! The emperor praised and gave Lin Quanzhong a look.

Lin Qianzhong understood and nodded to Mu Caiping, Mu Caiping knelt down and thanked the emperor, then got up and slowly retreated.

As she passed the table in front of Caiwei, she gave her a defiant smile. The implication is that Cai Wei can see it very clearly, it is nothing more than the emperor's favor and is about to fly to the high branches, which means that Cai Wei will wait, right?

However, Cai Wei doesn't bother to compete with her for anything, everyone lives their own lives, even if they enter the palace and can get the emperor's favor, they may not be able to do everything as they should.

There are so many concubines in the palace, and their backgrounds are different. Mu Caiping is just the granddaughter of the former Guozi priest wine, and her father is just a businessman of the eighth grade, how big a wave can he make?

Didn't she see the gloomy faces of the imperial concubine Wang and a few concubines on the side? I don't know how I'm going to die when the time comes.

However, she didn't expect that Mu Caiping would have such a great ability to follow Lin Qianzhong's path, so in this way, she and the Jiang family could get out of the edict prison smoothly, or did Lin Qianzhong make a lot of effort?

She didn't know why Lin Qianzhong would help the Mu family?

Listening to Widow Mu, Lin Qianzhong took a fancy to her biological mother Li back then, which can be regarded as the indirect cause of Li's suicide. Is there another Li family in this Mu family?

What is his intention to help the penniless Mu family like this?

Cai Wei only felt a headache, rubbing the sun on both sides, and couldn't lift any spirits.

"What's wrong with you? But shocked? Lu Ying is careful, Cai Wei has a stir, he has already noticed it.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered. Don't be afraid. At this time, he said "rest assured", which made Cai Wei really relieved.

"I don't know if Mu Caiping is holding back some bad water with Lin Qianzhong, but I'm afraid I can't prevent it." Cai Wei turned her face and muttered quietly.

"No matter what conspiracy there is, let's just wait and see, don't be angry with your body for them." Lu Ying thoughtfully wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from the corners of Cai Wei's forehead and comforted her.

Next, it was Princess Gu'an who came in.

I saw her change into a silver and red silk dress, and entered the main hall like a flying fairy.

The music sounded slowly, and Princess Gu'an flew a meaningful look towards Lu Ying, dancing suddenly.

At one moment, it is as eager as a bird throwing into the forest, and at another time it is as light as a dragonfly touching water.

In all fairness, Princess Gu'an's dancing is indeed outstanding and beautiful.

After Princess Gu'an's performance, she was a few clan nobles.

Or painting or playing the piano, each of them has a few unique skills.

The family members of the ministers, as long as they are not very old, are also driven by Princess Gu'an to show what they are good at.

Even Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess stroked the piano.

Just went down one by one, and soon it was the turn of picking roses.

Cai Wei secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately she had prepared things in advance, otherwise, she would have been ugly again tonight.

Since she is married to Lu Ying, she will become a thorn in the side of Princess Gu'an, it is estimated that she will not be able to escape tonight, Princess Gu'an will not let her escape for the first time, and she will definitely wait to see her make a fool of herself.

Princess Gu'an was looking at her, and the smiling Danfeng eyes kept staring at Cai Wei's unfazed face, and the smugness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten Cai Wei, and after the performance of the woman in front of him was finished, he raised his glass with a smile and smiled at the civil and military officials, "Ladies and gentlemen, have another drink!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine.

After putting down the cup, the emperor lowered his head and took chopsticks to pick up the dishes piled up in the small bowl in front of him and took a bite.

Princess Gu'an was a little anxious, for fear that the emperor would forget Cai Wei, so she hurriedly got up and reminded, "Father, Mrs. Lu hasn't performed yet, you can't forget her, otherwise Mrs. Lu won't say that the emperor looks down on her?" ”

The emperor raised his head, glanced at Princess Gu'an, and said with a light smile, "I am confused, I really forgot, and please Mrs. Lu not be surprised." ”

Since he said this, of course Cai Wei couldn't be indifferent, so she had to get up and reply, "The courtiers don't dare to change!" It's just that the courtiers are stupid, and there is nothing to do for fear of staining everyone's eyes! ”

Princess Gu'an looked at Cai Wei with a pair of eyes faintly, and immediately said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu is too modest, since she can marry Lord Lu, she must have some ability to carry the sedan chair back." Why don't you show a few hands, let us also see and learn! ”

As soon as her words fell, other civil and military officials and wives all turned their eyes to Cai Wei.

Lu Ying is one of the most beautiful men in Beijing, he has always been a cold-faced gentleman, and he is a hot person in front of the emperor, I don't know how many daughters of the family are waiting to marry him!

He has to find a wife with a comparable family background.

No one expected that he would marry a granddaughter of the country's son who supervised the sacrificial wine, and his father was still a miscellaneous man.

It is enough for such a person to be a concubine, who knew that he would carry a sedan chair home to be a wife, which really opened everyone's eyes.

At this time, Princess Gu'an will hold on to this Mrs. Lu, and everyone's hearts are like mirrors, waiting to see the excitement.

Cai Wei glanced around, knowing that she was not stage frightened, she immediately walked to the center of the hall, and looked at the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, the courtiers will be ugly, and the emperor should not laugh at the courtiers." ”

Lu Ying sat down, sweating in her palms. Just now, he wanted to pull Cai Wei and not let her go up, no matter what happened, just come at him.

When he married her, he didn't pay attention to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that those noble ladies of the family paid attention to. What is Cai Wei's ability, he knows it is enough, why let everyone look at Cai Wei like a monkey?

But if you don't pay attention, Cai Wei will go up, what else are you going to perform?

Lu Ying is not afraid that her face will be dull, but she is really afraid that Cai Wei will not be able to stand this blow!?

He wanted to speak, but found that Cai Wei and the emperor were laughing and feasting, but he couldn't interject, so he had to sit there and watch the changes.

I heard the emperor say with a smile, "Hehe, Mrs. Lu is serious, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is just fun, Mrs. Lu is not limited to what to perform, and she is happy!" ”

The emperor comforted Cai Wei and glared at Princess Gu'an.

This daughter is really uncomfortable, but in front of the public, he can't slap his daughter's face.

Everyone saw that Cai Wei said to the emperor unhurriedly, "Please ask the emperor to give the courtiers a piece of cotton thread and a steel needle." Father Chen has nothing else to do, so let's perform a magic trick for the emperor and the ministers and wives. ”

The princesses and princesses and the ladies in front of them performed either singing and dancing, or painting, all of them were wonderful, but when it was Cai Wei's turn, she was beyond expectations, and she actually performed a magic trick!

This magic trick is just something that the people in the market are interested in, and these royal relatives and nobles have never seen it, so they all looked at Cai Wei with wide eyes.

Soon, the little eunuch carried a piece of cotton thread more than a foot long and a steel needle from a tray.

Cai Wei stretched out two fingers, twisted the cotton thread, turned around at the big guy, and asked, "Do you see that this is an ordinary cotton thread?" ”

The big guys all nodded and smiled, "I see it clearly." ”

"Did you come up and take a closer look?" In order to block the mouths of Youyou, Cai Wei had to ask more.

She thought that there might be no one to come up and do more, but Princess Gu'an didn't worry about her, pinched the handkerchief and twisted it like a weak willow in the wind, stepped forward, and took Caiwei's hand, turned the cotton thread over and over several times, and didn't say anything in the end.

"Your Royal Highness, is this an ordinary piece of cotton thread?" Since she has watched it a few times, Cai Wei has to let her say it, and it will save her from another incident.

"An ordinary cotton thread indeed." In front of so many people, Princess Gu'an can't talk nonsense.

Cai Wei nodded, put the cotton thread in the tray, twisted the steel needle again, held it in front of Princess Gu'an and said, "Since the princess has come up, then don't bother the two masters, bother the princess to take a look at this steel needle again, is there anything wrong with this steel needle?" ”

Princess Gu'an really took the steel needle, pinched it herself, and after a few strokes, she found that it was extremely hard, so she put it in the tray.

"It's a steel needle indeed." With that, she turned around with a little regret and returned to her seat.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her and whispering, Cai Wei didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she couldn't help but smile and quickly tied the steel needle to the end of the cotton thread.

She walked around the hall for everyone to see, and then asked the little eunuch for a fire fold, "Now, I have lit this cotton thread, and guess what will happen to the steel needle?" ”

"Naturally, it fell to the ground." A crisp children's voice said loudly, "This cotton thread is gone, can the steel needle not fall off?" ”

The person who spoke was none other than the Thirteenth Prince, but he was twelve or thirteen years old, and he had not changed his voice yet.

Cai Wei wanted this sentence, and immediately raised her voice and said to the Thirteenth Prince, "Your Highness, are you sure?" ”

"Of course sure, anyone can think of this!"

Cai Wei smiled and said, "Then please take care of it." ”

In full view, she lit the thread.

The cotton thread burned slowly, and in a few moments, it burned out.

Later, everyone was surprised to find that the steel needle was still hanging from the end of the cotton thread, as if nothing had happened!

"Wow, that's amazing! What's going on? Why is it different from what I thought? The Thirteenth Prince was very interested, and ran up from his seat to see what was going on.
