After the emperor returned to Qiankun Palace, he issued an edict.

Because there are a large number of people who want to perform on the Wanshou Festival - the first emperor likes to be pompous, and the artists in the teaching workshop sing and dance endlessly during the Wanshou Festival, and there will even be folk Peking Opera troupes entering Beijing to celebrate the performance, and some of them may not be able to come to the emperor, but only perform on the periphery for the guests to watch. The performance of the concubines belongs exclusively to the emperor, and they can be stained with the light of the Wanshou Festival for the family members of the clan ministers to have the honor to watch, and it is impossible to show the guests alone, which is a loss of respect and inferiority.

Concubines present to the emperor to celebrate their birthdays, which is better than their intentions rather than entertaining skills, so concubines who do not want to perform in front of others can present them to the emperor alone before the Wanshou Festival and register with Mr. Liang. He won't turn over the cards in the past few days, and he will respond to the hearts of everyone in the harem.

In this way, the minds of some palace concubines are alive again.

Offer it alone.

Isn't it an opportunity to meet the Holy Face?

I originally wanted to give gifts, but also in addition to gifts, there are more performances, those who can enter the palace are good families, no matter how poor they are, they are also rich daughters, and there is always one thing that will be able to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After Chen promised to learn that this incident was caused by himself, he paused: "I am embarrassed, I am ashamed, and I have not lost it, how can I cheapen them and give them the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor and compete for favor." ”

Jiang Xian was surprised: "I didn't know that you had such a deep obsession with the Holy Grace. ”

"The more favored you are, the better my life will be, not to mention that I am not afraid of being robbed of favor," as the lowest level of the harem, Chen promised to have her own set of truths: "Anyway, I don't have a favor." ”

Jiang Xian smiled, and when she saw that Chen was still angry, she nodded to her: "I'm not afraid of comparing with others, the more they want to spend their time on the performance, the more they are attracted to my way." ”

When it comes to gift-giving, Jiang Xian really can't compare to others.

She is poor and white, and the monthly cases she is always there are pitiful, and her current palace expenses are all dependent on the silver taels rewarded by the emperor to make her seem richer, and there is also a share of the income from letting the people of Yizhuxuan Palace sell intelligence this time...... The hand is loose, and it can't be compared with the masters whose mother's family is in Beijing and can secretly send money.

"What I'm afraid of is not that others will perform, but that others will not perform."

Mian Xia was puzzled: "If everyone does the same, wouldn't the little master be special." ”

Chen promised the lotus fragrance beside him, but said: "Shu's dancing is different from others, even if it is a slave and maid who has no knowledge, you can see the extraordinary." These days, other palace concubines go to the emperor to perform, and if the things they take out are unremarkable, they will become the green leaves that set off Shu Chang's presence, and if there are occasional novel ones, it will make the emperor look forward to a performance that can make Shu Chang full of confidence. ”

Hearing this analysis, Jiang Xian picked up a look of appreciation.

That's exactly what she thought.

In her previous life, in the company where she worked, she liked to use the form of internal competition, build two small studios or groups, make goods on the same track, compete with each other, the winner gets more resources, and the loser is eliminated.

The king of volumes is not afraid of comparison.

Just like Xueba likes difficult rolls, because of the high difficulty, the big waves can sift out the real gold.

At the same time, a small banquet was held in the imperial garden, and Lu Ronghua was the host, and invited the palace concubine who was good friends with him to come to the party, and he also heard the news.

Lu Ronghua's face first rose with a little joy.

She plays the piano well, performs in advance, and may be able to leave the emperor after playing a song.

Guo Guiren's expression was faint: "The emperor recently summoned Shu Chang to accompany her to enjoy the snow, and I think it was her idea." ”

"I don't have good skills, and I don't want to be embarrassed at the banquet on Halloween, so I have to make a surprise move," Tao Cairen echoed Guo Guiren's words, and smiled: "It's just a chance to give the sisters a chance to show their strengths in front of the emperor." ”

Hearing the latter sentence, everyone's expressions were awkward.

Lu Ronghua didn't want to talk more about the content of the performance, saving herself from spying around, she was more willing to sarcastically mock Yi Zhuxuan, who was being favored: "Serving people with color, and loving with multi-color decay is not a long-term solution." ”

"I heard that the female master who taught Yi Zhuxuan dance art was brought by Yi Zhuxuan on his own initiative, but I didn't expect it," Feng Liangyuan covered her lips and smiled: "How can this dance art be achieved in a day or two, unlike Sister Rong Hua, long before entering the palace, the concubine heard that Sister Rong Hua's poetry and piano are unique, how can others catch up overnight." ”

Lu Ronghua was a little happy when he heard it: "It's just a false name, it's more quiet to practice piano and chant poetry than to please people." It's a pity this time, it's great if any sister can give a dance and let the emperor know that there are also concubines in the harem who are good at dancing. ”

It's best to compare Shu Changzai with someone.

In fact, how much wind and waves can a constant being stir up? Not to mention that it is a poor family who is not strong, they are not in much of a hurry to get rid of her, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is hot on Shu Chang - this oracle is that the emperor is covering for Shu Chang's clumsy dancing skills, and he is really a fox with an empty face.

That being said, the anger is still infuriating.

How long have they been in the palace, and they have been pressed down by a constant being!

Lu Ronghua extremely hopes that the person who will compare Shu Changzai is himself.

It's a pity that she has been squeamish since she was a child and can't stand the pain of learning to dance.

At this time, Guo Guiren spoke: "The concubine is ready to dance the "Neon Dress and Feather Dance" on the Wanshou Festival. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone's surprised eyes fell on her.

That's it!

She looked even more proud: "If a sister wants to dance the same dance as the concubine, the concubine doesn't mind." ”

Seeing the confidence on Guo Guiren's face, the people present knew in their hearts that she must be proficient in dancing and very sure, and she was not afraid of others learning from her.

"Listening to what you said, I'm starting to look forward to Guo Guiren's dance," Lu Ronghua looked at her and said with a smile: "You can't do without good clothes, and I have good floating brocade in my palace...... It's a pity that the days are a little tight, and I can't get a new dance costume, so if there is a shortage of jewelry, come to me. ”

"Then thank Sister Ronghua for her kindness."

Guo Guiren stood up and blessed her body to show her affection.

She's not short of money, and she can't borrow jewelry from others.

When Lu Ronghua said this, she also knew that she would not really come to borrow it from herself, but just expressed an attitude-

In the fight against Shu is often arrogant, they are on the same front.

In the snow pavilion in the imperial garden, there is a charcoal fire next to it, which is warm and smiling.

At first glance, it is very pleasant.

※

After returning to Zhong Cui Palace, the palace maid looked suspicious: "How did the little master tell the talent he was going to perform, and the other ladies were all strictly guarded, for fear that others would learn it." ”

"If you want to learn, you can learn."

Returning from the snow banquet, Guo Guiren's delicate face appeared with hatred: "I want the Jiang family to sleep and eat uncomfortably, and live under the haze of fear of being compared to me." Want to learn? Then let them learn! ”

In terms of real material, she and Jiang Xian are similar.

Guo Guiren has been practicing dance since he was a child, which is not only a hobby but also an intentional arrangement of his family. The woman who is ready to be sent to the palace must always have some talent, and it is very unnecessary to be the head of an ordinary official eunuch's housewife: "I didn't mention it to the emperor before, I wanted the palace to live a long time, and shake out all the people who would meet at once, and there would be no pressure on the bottom of the box in the future......"

She thought that after the first attendant went to bed, the emperor would keep her warm for a few days.

Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Jiang Xian.

Compared with her superiors who have been in a high position for a long time, she hates Jiang Xian who joined the company at the same time.

Guo Guiren took a deep breath and comforted himself: "Fortunately, my father and mother have cultivated me since I was a child...... Now the heart is more stable, otherwise, like the Jiang family, there is no talent and no virtue, and there is an empty face, so you can only give up your son and beg the emperor to go up, and it is a joke to be favored! ”

The Wanshou Festival lasts for several days, and even the capital is a festive atmosphere full of lights.

Because of the emperor's message, there are really many palace concubines who go to perform.

Among them, there are many newcomers.

It's a pity that there are many people who go, so there is no one who has been turned over, and they are swept away by the emperor's indifferent gaze, and the newcomers who rarely have the opportunity to face the saint can't stop trembling, and the performances are very average.

Among them, it was rare for the emperor to show his face, but Chen agreed.

After she finished dancing, the emperor opened up: "I once thought that you and Shu are always friends, even if you dance mediocre, I have to reward you with something." ”

Liang Yuyin on the side heard that the emperor was holding back a burden and was ready to sell Guanzi.

Mr. Liang guessed well.

The second half of the emperor's promise to Chen was: Now that I have watched your dance, for the sake of you and Shu Chang's friendship, I will not punish you.

For no other reason, the dance is so funny!

Don't talk about the same hands and feet, it's not on the beat at all.

Unexpectedly, Chen promised not to hear the subtext of the emperor, and she happily gave a big gift to thank her: "Last time, the concubine won the emperor's reward by the light of Sister Shu, and she is already very grateful, thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

“……”

A sincere thank you suffocated the emperor's burden.
