Chapter 74: Qixi Palace Banquet (4)
Seeing this, Ning Wu and Fu Yuechan looked at each other and smiled, seeing the affectionate appearance of the two, they wanted to make fun of Shen Qianmo, but it can be seen that she was not hypocritical, and generously admitted her heart for Meng Yuanheng, but the two of them were unexpected, and they lost their interest in joking for a while.
At this time, the highlight of the banquet, the talent show, was announced, and the topic of the two naturally turned to the show.
"Sister Qianmo, what show are you preparing? It must be special, right? Fu Yuechan's eyes lit up and asked with great interest.
The rumored strange woman, presumably the show she must perform must be different and have her own merits. She looked expectant.
Hearing this, Shen Qianmo couldn't help but feel embarrassed. In addition to autopsies, he is only good at grappling and sanda, basketball and tennis, and his talent in quyi performance is really good.
So while enjoying the program that had begun to be performed on the stage, she smiled casually and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Sister Yuechan, the show I prepared is very ordinary, and there is nothing special." ”
Ning Wu pursed her lips and said with a look of disgrief: "The winner of the talent show of the Qixi Festival every year is either a princess or a county lord, like us, who is here to make up a number for a scene, so why bother." ”
"That's just as well." Fu Yuechan also felt the same way. "But for three consecutive years, the county lord of Anping has won, does Sister Wu think it will be her this year?"
Ning Wu shook her head, "I don't think so." She lost such a big face after winning last year, so she should be more low-key this year. Speaking of this, Ning Wu suddenly said to Shen Qianmo: "Qianmo, the county lord of Anping, you have to be careful." ”
Why? Could it be that he has something to do with the lord of Anping? Shen Qianmo raised her eyebrows, obviously a little inexplicable about Ning Wu's warning.
Ning Wu saw that she was puzzled, knowing that she must not know the ins and outs, no wonder, Shen Qianmo had never participated in this kind of gathering before, and it was normal that she had never heard of it, so she explained: "Qianmo knows what she asked the emperor for after the victory of the county lord of Anping last year?" ”
Shen Qianmo shook her head. Could it be related to this desire?
Fu Yuechan also came up with an interested face, "Sister Yue, tell me quickly, what did the county lord of Anping ask for, and it will make her so embarrassed later?" ”
"She asked the emperor to let the emperor marry her and King Xuan, but before the holy decree of marriage arrived at King Xuan's mansion, King Xuan mercilessly rejected it." Ning Wu said mysteriously, with a sneer on her face.
This incident made the county lord of Anping a laughing stock in the capital for a long time, but it was only because of the authority of her mother, Princess Zhaoren, that the matter was slowly suppressed and did not spread a great impact. Therefore, it is no wonder that Fu Yuechan and Shen Qianmo don't know about it.
And this kind of thing? Shen Qianmo really couldn't figure it out, not to mention that Meng Yuanheng's legs were disabled, wasn't it rumored that he couldn't be humane? Why does this Anping county lord still want to marry him? It seems that this guy's peach blossom luck is really not ordinary.
In this way, when Emperor Mingde gave her a marriage to him, he only asked for a one-year delay in the marriage, and did not refuse, or did he save face for himself?
It's just that since they are the daughter of the eldest princess of Zhaoren, and the eldest princess of Zhaoren is the sister of Emperor Mingde, aren't the county lords of Anping and Meng Yuanheng cousins?
Shen Qianmo felt a chill. Meng Yuanheng, it is really wise for you to refuse to give marriage, and it is not good for close relatives to marry.
"The lord of Anping County relies on the status of the eldest princess of Zhaoren, and has always been arrogant, his eyes are above the top, and he doesn't even care about the princess, but he was ruthlessly rejected by King Xuan, and it is indeed shameless." Fu Yuechan said with a little sympathy.
Ning Wu said with some concern: "If King Xuan has always remained cold-hearted and ruthless, it would be fine if he is not close to women, but now he has a deep affection for Qianmo and takes care of you in every way, with the temperament of the county lord of Anping, I am afraid that she will hold a grudge against you." So, Qianmo, it's better for you to be careful. ”
Under the guidance of Ning Wu and Fu Yuechan, Shen Qianmo also recognized the county lord of Anping, who was sitting at the top of the same row as them. At first glance, it was a little unexpected for her.
The arrogant county lord of Anping in the center of Ning Wukou, tonight's dress is very elegant and generous, wearing a gauze skirt dominated by lake blue, there are no too many ornaments on the body, and there is no cheesy feeling of jewelry, in this sultry summer night, like a wisp of clear spring, it is refreshing to watch.
Fu Yuechan snorted softly. "Sister Qianmo, the county lord of Anping is dressed like you."
That's right, the outfit of the county lord of Anping is actually similar to Shen Qianmo, and he looks gentle and elegant, neat and generous.
Due to his equal status, Meng Yuanheng happened to sit opposite the county lord of Anping. Shen Qianmo found that although the county lord of Anping sat elegantly and looked indifferent, he always looked at Meng Yuanheng, who was always on the opposite side with a tense face and a slight frown, intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed that he was really interested in him.
She was really helpless to hold her forehead. Meng Yuanheng is moody, temperamental and smelly, what's so good? Originally, I thought that he could be a little cleaner because he was not good at doing things and was inhumane, but who knows that he still won't be at peace.
In the small talk of the three people, the show was performed one after another. Fu Yuechan and Ning Yue also came to the stage, Fu Yuechan performed dance, Ning Yue performed the piano, their performances were decent, neither brilliant, but they would not lose their identity, it seems that they have been carefully measured.
In this kind of royal banquet, it is a wise choice to compete with the princess and the princess and the princess on the same stage, and always maintain the middle level.
Therefore, when Shen Qianmo came to power, she did not have too much psychological burden. Ning Wu had just stepped down from the stage after the performance, and when she staggered with her, she gave her an encouraging look.
Shen Qianmo smiled gently, sat down in front of the guqin with a calm expression, raised her wrist lightly, and the gentle and melodious sound of the piano poured out.
"The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world.
Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”
She played and sang to herself, although her voice was slightly low but clear and beautiful, her expression was indifferent but fascinating, just like a Xuannu above the nine heavens, between the shallow chanting and singing, there was both affection and tenderness, and there was a light and prosperous free and easy, the two blended, seamless, beautiful and elegant, and the aftertaste was eternal, which made people unconsciously attracted to her and indulged in it.
After the song was finished, nothing went wrong, and Shen Qianmo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I learned the guzheng for a period of time in middle school, and the basic feeling is still there, and I practiced a little bit yesterday, and it seems that there is no embarrassment.
Her eyes looked towards Meng Yuanheng, and she saw that he was also staring at her intently, with a thick tenderness and sweetness in her eyes.
These days, because of Lou Xinyue's curse, he, like her, is uneasy, and his decision to refuse to marry him has exacerbated this feeling. So she took the opportunity of tonight to take advantage of this song, hoping to reassure him and concentrate on treating cold poison in the future.
This was a decision she made after learning that she was going to perform at a banquet. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? She deliberately chose this song "Queqiao Immortal Xianyun Tricky", just hoping that he could understand her mind and eliminate the psychology of gain and loss.
Meng Yuanheng didn't understand Shen Qianmo's intentions. He stared at this woman who smiled at him stupidly, and the emotion in his heart could not be described in words. His hands were gripping his legs tightly, and at this moment, he wished that his leg disease had been cured, and he could take her away from here and go to a place where there were only the two of them. In this way, only he can appreciate Mo'er's beauty.
Everyone present obviously hadn't recovered from Shen Qianmo's performance, and they were immersed in the words she had just played. Regardless of Miss Shen's singing skills, just this graceful and lingering words and phrases made them deeply shocked, and they suddenly had a dreamlike feeling in heaven and earth.
As long as the two are happy, why should they be greedy for the joy of the morning and twilight. Such a broad-minded, free and indifferent woman is inferior to a man.
Feng Ze and Lu Ziqing saw the interaction between Shen Qianmo and Meng Yuanheng, and they were both sour. Lu Ziqing has a very strong self-control, and his performance is not obvious, but the light in his eyes has dimmed a little. Feng Ze seemed to be out of control, his whole body was tense, and a wine glass was in his hand, and he pinched and deformed.
He poured a full glass of wine and drank it down, swallowing the bitterness of his stomach. The two of them are so affectionate, so where should their thoughts go?
He didn't know how to try to let go, but he often couldn't help himself.
Meng Tianluo stared at Shen Qianmo on the stage, and the yin owl in his eyes was even worse. Meng Yuanheng's crippled luck is really not ordinarily good, he couldn't die in such a dangerous situation seven years ago, and now he has obtained such a delicate and transparent woman who is rare in the world, is it that if he doesn't die, there will be a blessing?
The scene was silent for a long time, and Shen Qianmo didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's reactions, as long as Meng Yuanheng understood her intentions, she didn't care about how others felt, and she didn't want to care. She got up, bowed, and returned to her seat without squinting.
"Good, good, if the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." Emperor Mingde took the lead in breaking the silence and praised repeatedly: "Shen family girl, your opinion is really unique, this poem has lofty intentions, and it is unique and unique, even men are difficult to have such a mind, very good." ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Shen Qianmo stood up in her seat and thanked Emperor Mingde, but secretly vomited in her heart: This was originally written by a man, she just thought it was more appropriate for the situation, so she borrowed it.
"Congratulations, Sister Qianmo, you have been praised by the emperor!" Fu Yuechan smiled and said hello to her.
Ning Wu was also sincerely impressed. "Qianmo, your lyrics are so well written, this kind of insight and mind really makes me sigh to myself." She asked herself that she was also an unruly and unpretentious woman, but this eldest lady of the Shen family was a kind of peace and indifference that emanated from her bones.
Shen Qianmo was really a little embarrassed, and while smiling, she could only thank Qin Shaoyou silently in her heart.
Mr. Shaoyou, borrow your masterpiece for the time being, and I hope you don't mind.
