"Miss Liu Er, please accumulate some virtue, it's okay if you don't know yourself, don't let everyone else think that our young ladies in the room don't have knowledge!" After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing around him and waiting, and sure enough, the corners of some people's mouths were slightly upturned, and they were trying not to smile.

Liu Yayue's face turned red all of a sudden, she only saw that Xiaoyu was dressed plainly, and she didn't seem to be wearing any jewelry, so she made sarcastic remarks.

Liu Yajuan beckoned to Liu Yayue with an ugly face: "Second sister, come and sit down!" The rest of the people all looked at Liu Yayue with mocking eyes.

Zheng Hongsleeve said with a smile: "Oh, Miss Liu, I heard that Sister Ling was grounded before?" I think you still have to take her to the street to see the world more in the future, so as not to make such jokes again, and it won't look good on Mrs. Liu's face! ”

Tie Sango's eyes rolled and said, "Yes, Miss Liu Er, it is estimated that you have been with your aunt all the year round, so your vision is so short-sighted." You only see Miss Qi Er dressed elegantly, but you don't know that the material on her body is the most fashionable jacquard satin from the West in the capital today, and this material alone costs fifty taels of silver. There is also the jewelry on Miss Qi Er's head, such a complete and large piece of red coral carved out of the fish play lotus leaf hairpin, this is something that money can't buy! It's Miss Liu Er, the style of the clothes on your body is new, but this material is new in the capital a few years ago, now, look at it, which lady still uses this material to tailor! ”

Liu Yayue was so embarrassed that her face was red, and she was ridiculed by Zheng and Tie so much that she had tears in her eyes, and she was embarrassed. Liu Yayue was raised by her aunt's side when she was a child, and she was not taught by her mother-in-law, so she didn't know anything about the necessary knowledge of these family women.

Seeing Liu Yayue's timidity, Lord Yunhui snorted and said, "Something that can't be put on the table!" Seeing her sister like this, Liu Yajuan didn't say anything, but just took out a handkerchief to wipe Liu Yayue's tears.

Xiao Yu gratefully blessed Zheng Hongsleeve and Tie Sango, and then said: "The little girl is not talented, and she was able to be the young lady of the Jing'an Hou Mansion because of her mother's pity, but although the little girl has not read poetry and books since she was a child like all the young ladies, she also saw a few sentences when she read a book some time ago, and now she takes it out to share with all the young ladies." ”

After speaking, she took a few steps forward and said to the women: "A lady with a real temperament never shows off everything she has. She doesn't tell people what books she's read, where she's been, how many clothes she's had, or what jewelry she's bought, because she doesn't have an inferiority complex. ”

These are a few sentences from Yishu's book she read in her previous life, because she liked it very much, so she remembered it very clearly, and it was very appropriate to talk about it in today's environment.

After she finished saying these words, her eyes swept over the young ladies present one by one. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were contemplative, some were approving, and some were as heavy as the Lord of Yunhui. And Liu Yayue's face had turned the color of pig liver, so she could only bow her head and hide to the side.

"Well said!" With the snapping applause, a woman dressed in a gorgeous costume walked in.

"See the Queen!" , all the women bowed down together, it turned out that the queen had arrived. Xiaoyu lay on the ground, thinking that Concubine Xian should not come, and I don't know when the eldest princess will come!

"Get up! Who said it just now, it's very insightful! The queen kindly ordered the women to get up, looked around, and asked.

Xiao Yu sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't want to be in the limelight.

"Back to Niangniang's words, just now the little girl talked a few words on a whim, and there was a dirty Niangniang to listen to it, and she asked Niangniang to atone for her sins." , she stepped forward and bowed down.

"Hurry up, ...... are you?" , Although the queen had seen Xiaoyu in the palace before, she didn't look closely, and when she came out, she felt that this little girl's eyes were tight.

"Back to Niangniang, the little girl is Qi Yun of the Marquis of Jing'an!" , Xiaoyu lowered his head and continued.

"Oh? It turns out that the newly recognized daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an is you! No wonder Mrs. Jing'anhou is anxious to recognize her as her daughter, and when she sees it today, she is really an ice posture jade bone, and her knowledge is extraordinary! The queen's face changed slightly, but she still maintained a dignified demeanor and said.

"Oh, you're the Destiny Daughter!" , a female voice with a strange accent sounded, and a woman in Miao dress who was over thirty years old walked out from behind the queen.

Xiao Yu's heart jumped wildly when he heard this, what? Daughter of Destiny?! , The words of the young man Yue and the old monk in the Big Buddha Temple suddenly poured out of his heart, is it! Are they telling the truth?

"Holy Maiden, you ...... Say...... This girl is what you said...... Daughter of Destiny? ", the queen asked in surprise.

The Miao girl nodded, walked straight to Xiao Yu, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and then knelt at Xiao Yu's feet, and actually made a big salute.

Xiao Yu's head was blank, so he could only avoid Miao Nu's big gift and looked at Qin Xueyi in a panic.

The Miao girl stood up and said in stiff Chinese: "God...... Life...... It...... Female ......", Xu is not good at Chinese, she said these words quickly and urgently in Miao after she finished these words.

I could only hear the sound of silver bells, and a beautiful woman in Miao clothes walked out, she was obviously much younger, and her face was slightly similar to that of the Miao Jiang Holy Maiden. Xiao Yu suddenly remembered what Qin Xueyi had said, it was King Ding's aunt and cousin!

The two Miao girls chattered in Miao for a while, and then the young woman turned to the queen and said: "Niangniang, the saint said that this girl is the daughter of the destiny of heaven, but the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, everything can only go with the flow, according to the calculation of the saint, this girl will bring good luck to Datan, so please rest assured!" After speaking, she also walked up to Xiaoyu and made a big bow respectfully.

The ladies around Xiao Yu made all kinds of sounds, gasps, exclamations, and whispers, Xiao Yu herself felt that the world had left her, she couldn't think about it, and even these voices seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, leaving her alone in this lonely world.

The queen frowned slightly, and said after a long period of silence: "Since this is the case, then let's go with the flow, okay, Miss Qi Er, you don't have to take it to heart, let's think about this matter in the long run!" ”

Xiao Yu's face turned pale, and when he heard the queen say this, he retreated to Qi Pan and sat down. Qi Pan's face turned pale, and the hands of the two quietly clasped together, and Fang was shocked to realize that each other was in a cold sweat.

The queen introduced the two Miaojiang women to the daughters, and the older one was indeed the aunt of King Ding, the current Miaojiang Holy Maiden. And the younger one is King Ding's cousin, the current daughter of King Miao, Assando, who is twenty-eight years old. All the women knew that Assandor was going to enter the palace, so they didn't care much.

After a while, the eldest princess, concubine, concubine, and noble people all arrived one after another.

The eldest princess was dressed in a scarlet palace dress and combed a high bun, but she hadn't seen her in just a month, she looked several years older, and there were two more wrinkles on her well-maintained face, and when she came in, she scanned Qi Pan and Xiaoyu back and forth with a resentful gaze.

Concubine Shu is about the same age as the queen, with her head in a fairy bun, wearing a fragrant cloud gauze robe, elegant temperament, dignified and virtuous manners; Concubine Li is as her name suggests, if she is ten years younger, she will be a peerless beauty, but unfortunately the twilight of the beauty is suffocating, she pulled a charming fallen horse bun, and a pair of ruby earrings under her ears attracted people's attention.

However, the noble lady is very young, her bright facial features are aggressive, she actually wore a pomegranate red palace dress that is very close to the big red today, and the queen saw her dress, and her face was even more ugly. Old Madam Qin naturally came, and she smiled slightly when she saw Xiao Yu, which made Xiao Yu's heart settle down a little.

When the queen saw that everyone was almost here, she said, "Since all the sisters and ladies have arrived, let's begin!" According to the usual practice, please submit the proposed topic! ”

Zhen Guiren got up first, took out a white envelope from his sleeve, and handed it to Aunt Lianxin beside the queen, and the rest of the concubines also presented their own titles.

The queen called the eldest princess and the old lady Qin to dismantle the topic, and the three of them discussed while looking at the topic, and it didn't take long for the three of them to seem to have reached a consensus and chose the topic.

"The first question," Mrs. Qin unfolded the paper in her hand and read, "Piano art, the examinee will play a song on the piano according to the following piano score, and each person will have a stick of incense!" Old Madam Qin paused and added: "The piano score can only look at the time of half a pillar of incense, and the one who plays the most correct tunes among the crowd wins!" This title is provided by Shufei! ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she opened a large scroll with a smile on her face and slowly unfolded it, with a large sheet music written on it. Xiao Yu raised his eyes and saw that there were strange characters written on the piano sheet music on it, and some of the Chinese characters in each character were recognized, but the other strokes and symbols were not clear. Qi Pan and Qin Xueyi watched it with relish. Xiao Yu didn't know anything about playing the piano anyway, but he observed the ladies with great interest.

Qin Xueyi looked like a professional, her eyebrows fluttered and she became more and more excited, as if she couldn't wait to sit down and play the piano immediately, her eyes were shining, and her whole person was full of energy.

Zheng Hongsleeve and Tie Coral beside her leaned aside and whispered, without even looking at the score. Xiao Yu smiled secretly in her heart, it is estimated that these two are the same as her, they are not good at piano skills, so they simply give up.

Xiao Yu glanced at Qi Pan beside him, Qi Pan was very fascinated at first, but now he frowned, and his fingers gently stirred in the air, as if he had encountered a problem in playing.

Liu Yajuan's lips moved slightly, as if she was silently memorizing the piano score. Liu Yayue sat on the side and seemed to have not recovered from the embarrassment just now, with a fugue expression.

Xiao Yu looked at the county lord of Yunhui again, and found that several young ladies were confident and full of will.

As soon as the incense on the table was halfway burned, Old Madam Qin ordered someone to remove the piano score, and the ladies below began to make various sounds.

"Please prepare, ladies and gentlemen, let's start the competition after this pillar of incense is burned!" , Old Madam Qin made a quiet gesture, and then said solemnly.
