Chapter 167: The Empress Calms Her Anger
Bai Muhibiscus hurriedly kowtowed, and then said unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are really wronged in this matter, because the courtiers really don't have the slightest disrespect for the queen, on the contrary, this is to show that the queen is virtuous, commanding the six palaces, and making great contributions!" ”
The queen was slightly surprised, but Concubine Zhu twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she was very disdainful, but she suddenly felt that the gloomy feeling was more obvious, so she restrained her expression, pretending to be a wooden person, looking at her nose and nose, and not daring to make a sound.
The queen said in a slightly dignified voice: "Why do you say this? ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus bowed down again, his voice was clear and clear, and he said without any panic or nervousness: "This phoenix does not symbolize the queen, but symbolizes the six palaces under the queen's control." This performance is called balancing, which is intended to check and balance, only by finding every balance point, can we finally set up this Xiangfeng, just like the concubines of the six palaces, they must find their own position, in order to make the six palaces peaceful. And the one who can find the right position for the concubine is the queen's wonderful hand, with your pair of slender hands in charge of the six palaces, naturally there is no need to worry about the phoenix overturning, even if there is a little turmoil, you will hold it steadily, even with this insignificant feather! ”
In front of so many noble daughters and princes of the family, Bai Mujin gave the queen enough face, and let people know that the only master in this harem is the queen, and the other concubines are just bamboo pieces in the queen's hands.
The queen raised her hand, her voice was no longer as stern as she had just now, but with a deep joy, she said: "Miss Bai, get up, this palace doesn't blame you, whether the back position of this palace is stable or not is not on this show, only those who have ghosts in their hearts will feel that any show is insinuating something, which shows the darkness of their hearts!" ”
Concubine Zhu's face was blue and red when she heard this, but she didn't dare to refute half a sentence, but instead knelt down and said: "The concubine is quick to talk for a while, and she has no heart, and she also asks the queen to forgive her sins!" ”
The queen snorted coldly and said: "If everyone is like you who can't talk but have brains, wouldn't it be to make a lot of trouble, as Miss Bai said, everyone must find their own position, don't be delusional, this palace will punish you for three months, can you have any objections?" ”
Where does Concubine Zhu dare to object, she can't wait to go back and grounded now, because King Xuan's threat is too terrible, she doesn't want to see King Xuan in a short time, you must know that King Xuan enters and leaves the palace, but it is commonplace.
Bai Mu Hibiscus couldn't control much, and after thanking him, he stood obediently to the side, waiting for the queen's final fate.
Sure enough, after the queen punished Concubine Zhu, she had to appease Bai Muhibiscus, who had no merit today, and said in a soft voice: "Miss Bai, you are frightened, this performance of yours, according to the palace, can be regarded as a stunt, far better than everyone before, the palace is optimistic about you, this feast, you are a well-deserved leader!" ”
As soon as the queen's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, there are still people who have not come to power, and the queen has already selected the leader of this year, so what are others fighting for?
Bai Mu Hibiscus bowed and said: "The queen's mother is too famous, the courtiers dare not be ashamed, who is the leader of the feast, there is no certainty, after all, there are still many young ladies who have not shown, and the courtiers dare not bear the queen's good intentions!" ”
The queen doesn't mind, after all, it's just a reassuring word, if she sets the first place in this feast now, it will cause many family girls to be dissatisfied with herself, and many of them say that they can't enter the palace, so there is no need to make enemies now.
So the queen also laughed and said: "Miss Bai is so humble, this palace will no longer be reluctant, then double the reward that this palace gave you just now!" ”
This can be regarded as a Shunshui family for King Xuan, no matter what King Xuan is trying to save Bai Mujian, since he is so aggressive, if he doesn't express himself, wouldn't he want to make King Xuan dissatisfied?
Bai Mujin hurriedly thanked her, the queen waved her hand, and let her go down, Lu Feiyuan saw that Bai Mujian finally returned safe and sound, and her heart fell to the ground.
This time the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she really had a good time, since she was born, she has not experienced such a big stimulation, Lu Feiyuan was still a little unable to react for a while, she only held Bai Hibiscus's hand tightly, and couldn't even say a word of comfort.
Bai Mujin felt Lu Feiyuan's fear, her hands were still cold, and she was both moved and guilty in her heart, with her own trouble, Lu Feiyuan was also tired for no reason.
The queen sent Bai Hibiscus away, and then said softly to King Xuan: "King Xuan, since Miss Bai is not an insinuation that the position behind the palace is unstable, and you break a cup, naturally you can't talk about insinuation, so you can go down and rest first?" ”
King Xuan was still confused, but he didn't continue to entangle, anyway, the goal had been achieved, and the queen gave Bai Mujian a lot of rewards, and he was not dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you for the queen's magnanimity, my brother has thanked me, my wine is really not good, so I won't accompany the queen to see it!" ”
Ye Yu and Wan Bing also planned to help King Xuan, but he gently avoided it, Ah Zhong rushed up, separated the two palace maids, and helped the "drunk" His Royal Highness King Xuan to leave Shangyang Yuan.
Yeyu and Nightice were a little embarrassed, but the queen had already ordered them to send people to rest, and they had to leave with King Xuan, although King Xuan didn't need them.
Feng Zihan sat silently in place, his heart had never calmed down for a moment, the Nine Emperor Uncles were clearly defending Bai Hibiscus, and it had reached the point of public maintenance. This strengthened his determination to expose Bai Hibiscus's true face, he couldn't let Nine Emperor Uncle be deceived by this vicious woman, and then regret it!
In the next performance, everyone was no longer interested, and after experiencing this feast of flowers, who else would put their minds on those warblers and swallow dances, they were still immersed in the ups and downs.
It wasn't until Bai Yunxi, who was the last to come on the stage, laid a huge painting scroll in the center of the high platform, wore a moon-white dance dress, and wore a pair of special embroidered shoes stained with ink on the stage, which attracted everyone's attention.
Bai Yunxi slowly raised her hand, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras sounded, and she danced slowly in the middle of the huge painting scroll. Needless to say, she danced beautifully, but the movement of her feet aroused people's amazement, and she actually danced while painting on the scroll.
This kind of skill, although it is not as amazing as Bai Hibiscus's stunt, is also brilliant, causing everyone to applaud.
Bai Yunxi was triumphant, and the range of dancing movements was getting bigger and bigger, for today's performance, this dance, she has been practicing for more than a year, even in the family temple, she has never given up.
Hearing so many praises from the audience, she danced more and more freely, her waist twisted, her feet flew over, a pair of landscape flowers were about to take shape, and the last action of landing, she had to rise into the air and turn over a heel in the air to finalize the shape.
However, the accident also happened, she only heard the constant cracking sound, and then when she landed, her dance dress was torn, although it was not uncovered, but a large piece of the waist was torn, revealing the middle garment, which was very embarrassing.
Bai Yunxi looked at her clothes at a loss, screamed in horror, and then cried, her carefully prepared dance, it was like a bolt from the blue for her to make such a mistake at the last moment.
Fortunately, Xiaolan ran up in time and draped a big cloak on Bai Yunxi's body, which covered up Bai Yunxi's embarrassing ugliness.
The county lord of Tinglan had regained his freedom at this time, with a smile on his face that had succeeded in his tricks, Feng Zihan frowned slightly, it seemed that Bai Yunxi was in love with Tinglan's way.
He couldn't help but scolding in a low voice: "Tinglan, don't go too far! ”
The county lord of Tinglan didn't expect Feng Zihan to accuse her, and replied angrily: "What my cousin said, I don't understand!" ”
Feng Zihan glanced at her coldly, and no longer argued with her, anyway, Ting Lan is a person, no matter how much she says, it is useless, but Feng Zihan knows very well in her heart that the more powerful she is, the more unforgiving she is, the more she hates her.
Looking at the white clouds on the field who were helped down by the maid and cried pear blossoms with rain, Feng Zihan's brows couldn't help but twist up, as if it was because of himself that he had affected her, and he owed her again.
Bai Mujin naturally saw Feng Zihan's worried eyes, as well as Bai Yunxi's pitiful tears, this was really a good show, and since then Bai Yunxi has also started the fate of her previous life.
But...... Bai Mu Hibiscus sneered secretly, Bai Yunxi, you don't want to get your wish again in this life, with my Bai Hibiscus for a day, you don't want to get everything again!
The final performance of a feast ended in this way, although everyone knew that someone must be making trouble behind his back, and Bai Yunxi was framed, but no one would sympathize with anyone. Anyway, this kind of thing has not happened at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and you can only blame yourself for being stupid.
In the end, after the judgment of the concubine and a group of nobles, the first place was still taken by Bai Hibiscus, today in addition to Bai Hibiscus, who won the leader, there will be people who are not convinced, but only Bai Hibiscus deserves it, because no matter her wonderful performance, even if she wins two consecutive Goryeo princesses today, saving face for the Tianyuan noblewoman, she should also be the leader.
As for the other rankings, others don't really care, and the one who is being remembered is always the first place. After knowing the result, many noble ladies who had been with Bai Hibiscus several times came to congratulate them.
For example, Chu Yunyan and his entourage, Bai Mujian naturally dealt with them one by one, her words and deeds, modesty and generosity, did not give people a sense of pride that could not be saved, nor did she feel that she pretended not to care.
She is still the same as usual, not sad or happy, and treats her normally, not only will not make people jealous, but will add a lot of goodwill! But that doesn't mean everyone will be congratulated.
Feng Ziling pulled the county lord of Jinse and the county lord of Tinglan, with a yin and yang smile on his face, and said to Bai Muhibiscus: "Miss Bai, congratulations, you have gained a lot!" ”
