Chapter 156: Talent in Progress (1)
And the general concubines or female relatives enter the palace are managed by Mama Gui, but they can't provoke people, and now Xiaorou says that it is the conclusion set by Mama Gui, and she can't find Mama Gui to confirm, but she is smart.
The young lady snorted and stopped talking.
Jiang Xinyu looked at Xiao Rou with appreciation, this can be regarded as being alone.
"Then even if the worm was brought into the palace, then who brought it in and had the opportunity to apply it to Qiaoxi's pastries? Isn't this the only person who is in charge of the pastries at this banquet? And didn't you say that honey is also used in the process of making pastries, so you can't rule it out. "One of the ministers suggested that he was not complaining about anyone, but that he was telling the truth.
For this kind of person who has no provocative behavior, Xiao Rou also respectfully returns.
"What you say is true, but you may forget one thing, and that is that there is another person who has the opportunity to coat this precious honey in addition to those of us who are in charge of the pastry. And this person also has the opportunity to receive this precious honey. ”
"And one more? Who is it? The minister frowned, because he really couldn't think of who had a chance. He thought that if it wasn't for Concubine Xue's people, wouldn't it be only the owner of the pastry who was happy, but who would be so stupid to smear honey on his pastry and put worms brought from outside the palace, what good is this? Wouldn't it disgust the emperor if he found out?
Emperor! The minister suddenly reacted, this is someone who used this matter to attract the emperor's attention, and delusionally wanted to ascend to the sky in one step.
The minister shifted his gaze to Qiaoxi who was kneeling on the ground, Qiaoxi knelt on the ground, and her body was shaking involuntarily, I don't know if it was because she knelt too tightly or because of Xiaorou's words.
"Naturally, it's Miss Qiaoxi herself." Xiao Rou continued to finish her sentence.
After saying this, everyone was surprised, and Qiao Xi was too bold. I was fortunate enough to enter the palace to participate in this banquet, and I had to do so many stupid things. And this brings worms into the palace, how can a lady be able to do it. Now some people think of Qiaoxi's identity, this is not the daughter of a good family.
Qiaoxi saw that his plan had failed. Hit your head on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive your sins. The courtiers were just delusional for a while, and they would never dare to do it again. Emperor! Qiaoxi cried bitterly, hoping that Nangong Tian would spare her life.
"Hmph, to do this kind of thing, even asked the emperor to turn out, it seems that he has really lived enough. Your Majesty, such a person should be dragged down and killed. Your father-in-law looked at Qiaoxi's hateful face, and his heart was not happy.
"Originally, I couldn't tolerate you, but today the distinguished guests are here, and it's such a good day, and the atmosphere of the whole day is not supposed to be ruined for you, come here, drag it down, and beat a hundred classes outside the palace gate." Nangong Tian sighed, as if he was feeling sorry for Qiaoxi, but the words in his mouth really sent Qiaoxi to hell. This ordinary man is dying against the fifty versions of the court's board, and she is going to be beaten with a hundred boards, so it's not a death coming.
Qiaoxi desperately broke free from the guard's hand, wanting to get close to Nangong Tian to intercede, but was still dragged down.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter that is settled, let's enjoy the banquet well. However, the concubine wants to praise the maid of the Snow Concubine, she is so smart that the concubine is angry and wants to summon her to serve by her side, but she is afraid that the Snow Concubine's sister will not agree. Concubine Li looked at Nangong Tian.
"Back to Concubine Li, the maid is naturally taught well by Concubine Xue." After speaking, Xiaorou retreated to Jiang Xinyu's side.
"Sister Lifei, this Xiaorou has been serving me since she was a child, if I leave her, I really won't be able to adapt to it, if my sister doesn't have someone to love by her side, please ask my sister to find someone else." Jiang Xinyu didn't catch Concubine Li's ball.
"Your Majesty, open your mouth." Concubine Li looked at the emperor coquettishly.
"Okay, whoever should be is who's, what you can rob other people's maids, and then give you a few palace maids." Nangong Tian was a little impatient, this formal banquet hadn't started yet, so much for it.
Concubine Li was choked by Nangong Tian's tone, and she didn't dare to say anything more.
"The concubine obeys."
And Yun Yiqing and Nan Minghui just watched this scene quietly.
The exquisite dance that had been prepared earlier was already being staged, and the dancer danced with her slender waist, with the bewitching dress on her face, which looked moving, and she was already fascinated by the eyes of many courtiers, and it was a pity to know that she was still staring at the end.
"Who gave this dance?" Nangong Tian asked. There was a slight smile on his face, as if he was appreciating.
Concubine Li stood up and knelt on the spot.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is a dance offered by the concubines, I hope the emperor can like it."
Nangong Tian did not answer, but turned to Yun Yiqing's direction.
"What does Yun Gongzi think of this dance?" threw this question to Yun Yiqing. Yun Yiqing smiled slightly.
"Of course, Concubine Li's careful preparation for the emperor and everyone is good, and the dancing girl is soft but not charming, and her body bones are good, so it must have taken a lot of effort."
Nangong Tian laughed, "Haha, since Yun Gongzi has said so, then reward." The person who came rewarded the light willow jade face to Concubine Li. ”
Concubine Li's face was happy, this set of jade noodles was heard that the emperor wanted to reward Concubine Xue, but where is the emperor now, Concubine Li looked at Jiang Xinyu provocatively, and she was naturally very happy to be able to grab something in Jiang Xinyu's hands.
It's just that Jiang Xinyu turned a blind eye to Concubine Li's provocative gaze, and was still talking and laughing with Xiaorou.
Next is the program presented by Concubine Yue, which is a pair of twin women, one dances the sword and paints, and the other plays the piano, probably because it is the relationship between twins, the two are working together seamlessly, and naturally they have been well received. In the end, the painting was a picture of Izumo landscape, which was rewarded by Nangong Tian.
Concubine Leng also sent someone to present a flute song "Hundred Flowers", which was in line with the occasion. At this time, everyone found that they didn't know when, there were a lot of flower pots in the hall, and they were filled with flowers that were blooming.
When Jiang Xinyu arranged like this, Xiao Rou also asked her, isn't it misleading that this is Concubine Leng's own arrangement, is it for Concubine Leng to build momentum for herself. Jiang Xinyu replied to her, as long as it can be successfully completed this time, it will be her credit, and there is no other difference. And he doesn't have anything to do with Concubine Leng now, and this time this matter is actually able to test Concubine Leng's attitude towards herself, the concubine who has just entered the palace.
After the three concubines each presented their own performances, it was the talent show of the ladies, because there was another rule of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, that is, the talent show of the person who held this banquet must be placed at the end as the finale.
Qiaoxi was pulled down, but it didn't affect people's moods, after all, this Qiaoxi didn't become a member of them. That way, no matter what happens to her, she won't care too much.
The first one is Mo Nishang.
"The courtier, Mo Nishang, participated in the emperor. Participate in four mothers. Mo Nishang walked to the front of the hall. She wants to be the first to perform, so she naturally has a certain amount of self-confidence and will give people great visual enjoyment. At least to convince Zhao Changle's girl, hum, that's what I've been practicing for a long time.
"Oh, Ni Dress, do you want to be the first to perform?" Jiang Xinyu smiled and said to Mo Nisheng, her friend seemed to be full of confidence.
Mo Nishang heard Jiang Xinyu's question, and winked at Jiang Xinyu without everyone noticing.
Random is serious again.
"Back to Concubine Xue. The courtier's daughter is the daughter of the prime minister, and she should be the first to set a good example for the other ladies. Earning a good face for our prime minister's mansion is what a courtier's daughter should do. ”
Prime Minister Mo and Prime Minister sat below, looking at their daughter's appearance, although they didn't know what kind of clothes they were wearing, they were a little exposed, but this dress was just exposed, not revealing the clothes that should not be exposed in her daughter's house, and it could reveal the curves of Mo Nishang exquisitely. On the whole, it looks dignified without losing its vitality, which is really embarrassing.
"Oh, Miss Mo's intentions are very good, but this dress is too unorthodox. A daughter's family is dressed so badly. It's really embarrassing. As soon as Concubine Li opened her mouth, she completely broke the atmosphere. Although this dress is a little revealing, it is only in contrast with the cumbersome palace dress. In fact, there is nothing, but Concubine Li has never been pleasing to the eye of this Mo Nishang, not to mention that she also knows that Jiang Xinyu still had a good relationship with Mo Nishang before entering the palace.
"What did Concubine Li say?" Jiang Xinyu's face sank, this dress has a lot to do with her, so naturally no one should say bad things. And the style of this matter has actually been worn by people in other countries on this continent, otherwise the prime minister and the prime minister's wife would not allow Mo Nishang to wear out. It's just that Izumo is a country with too strict feudal thinking, and everyone's opinion is not followed. Originally, no one said it, and everyone didn't dare to come out to accuse the prime minister of the dress problem, but at the beginning of Concubine Li, the people of Concubine Li's faction and those who were extremely feudal naturally opened their mouths.
The crowd talked a lot, and they said their own.
"Miss Mo, isn't it a joke to wear it like this?"
"Heh, is this a joke? Only those of you who are rotten in mind would think so. The clothes I wore did not conform to Izumo's customs and rules, and were similar to those of some other countries. But the emperor, the courtiers thought that now there are many displaced people in our country, isn't it that the people who should be feudal are decaying step by step, our country has always had less trade with foreign countries, and it is simply rare to get the technology that is popular in the big dynasties if the moon is scorching, which will only make the country worse and worse. ”
Nangong Tian stared at Mo Nisheng, and was also thinking seriously about this matter. It has to be said that it makes sense. However, it is also difficult to implement it with many obstacles.
In the end, Nangong Tian only said, "It's the time for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, this time is not suitable for talking about business, if Miss Mo has any good opinions, let's meet in private." ”
"Well, this is the Hundred Gardens, a place for everyone to sing and dance. Ni Shang, what kind of talent do you want to offer? Jiang Xinyu revealed this matter.
"Return, Concubine Xue. The courtiers performed a foreign musical instrument called the piano. Mo Nishang responded to Jiang Xinyu, with naughty and gentleness in her eyes.
Jiang Xinyu was surprised.
"This, piano. This is the first time I've heard of it. After speaking, Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but complain in her heart that she could say such an obvious lie. This piano was originally her idea for Mo Nishang, or the design drawing she drew herself. But now this piano must be the first time it has appeared, so she still pretends to be surprised.
The officials were also surprised, this instrument called the piano had really never heard of it. I don't know what the song looks like.
"It was bought by a courtier from a foreign merchant. He also asked the merchant to teach his courtiers a tune. I would like to take this opportunity to give everyone a look. Mo Nishang clapped her hands, and outside was the piano that had been prepared a long time ago. The guards brought the piano in and placed it on the stage, and placed a stool beside it with a soft dough on top. Everything is ready.
Nangong Tian looked at the relatively large instrument with a strange expression on his face. It's such a big instrument, and it doesn't seem to have a place for people to use it. And isn't it more like a table than a musical instrument? That's mainly because the lid of the piano is not open, so no one knows how to use this instrument yet.
Mo Nishang stopped talking nonsense, after all, it was better to go up and play a song, so that everyone could listen to the sound of this instrument that had never been heard before.
I saw Mo Nishang walk to the soft stool with her footsteps, do it, clasp her hands on the piano, and open the lid.
I saw that the jade keys looked dazzling, especially in the hall without a roof, the moonlight passed through the locust tree, and all the keys were sprinkled on the keys, and the black and white keys gave people a very extraordinary feeling.
The people below all held their breath and quietly looked at Mo Nishang and this strange musical instrument.
Jiang Xinyu had a smile in her eyes, she knew that Mo Nishang could definitely leave a deep trace in everyone's hearts today, and the time and place were all due. Just look at how Mo Nishang has been practicing these days.
Yun Yiqing's original attention was also on Mo Nisheng's body, but inadvertently, she found Jiang Xinyu's hidden smile again, and looked at Mo Nisheng, especially the piano, could it be said that this also has something to do with her? He has only arrived in Izumo Province now, and his understanding of everyone is obviously good, and it seems that after this banquet, he has to carefully observe the people he is interested in, especially Jiang Xinyu.
