Chapter 40: A Hundred Flowers Compete for Beauty

The first one to play was Luo Guiwan, the one he had just met at the door.

She held a jade flute, stood on the bridge, and slowly blew it.

A song of partridges flying, clear and moving, the listener seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo music on the water.

It's just that Luo Guiwan's body is too weak, his breath is not enough, and there is occasional stagnation, which makes the originally melodious and mellow flute sound more melancholy.

After the song was finished, the queen smiled and asked someone to bring her cloak and put it on Luo Guiwan.

"Good boy, don't catch a cold, look at your hands are so cold, you didn't have a lot of wind today, right? Hurry up and warm up with a cup of hot tea. ”

No matter how sincere she was, the queen's care still made Luo Guiwan frightened and grateful, and put on a cloak and returned to his seat.

"Luo Guiwan, isn't she what she's best at painting?"

Shi Nianjiao looked at it, puzzled how she chose a flute today.

The next one is Yin Xuan, Yin Xuan went to the back wing room to make some preparations, and then came to the stage.

What she shows is a painting, and the thing she paints is the flower in this garden.

Just now she has sketched the lines, and now with a little color, a beautiful hairpin portrait is presented.

Hui Ning took the first and presented it to the queen, and unfolded the scroll in front of her.

"Ah, isn't this Hongu?" The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, surprised.

"The courtiers just saw the queen coming from a distance in the pavilion, and the flowers on both sides were eclipsed.

Since the title is a flower, the queen is the most beautiful flower in this garden in the eyes of the courtiers, which is not off-topic. ”

Yin Xuan often followed Mrs. Yin around, and the scene was very watertight, which made the queen very happy.

"You kid has such a sweet mouth, this palace likes you, come and sit next to this palace." The queen half-sincerely and half-pretended to pull the person to her side and let Yin Xuan sit under her.

At this time, everyone has a plan in their hearts.

Next, there are those who perform singing and dancing, and those who show their piano skills, all of which are not very outstanding, and the queen is the middle palace, so naturally there is no need to praise everyone, these will be handed over to the eldest princess and a few Mrs. Hou.

Wu Lingyu performed a sword dance and smashed the cup in front of a girl, which frightened the other party and retreated again and again.

Yin Yili had no talent, so he had to offer a handkerchief embroidered by himself, which was not outstanding. The embarrassing thing is that he collided with Qiao Yuping's talent, both of them are outstanding in embroidery, and they are all handkerchiefs today.

Qiao Yuping's face was a little embarrassed, Yin Yili had already presented it, and it was too late for her to change anything, mainly because she wouldn't either.

He Shaoguang saw that her face was anxious, so he asked her what was wrong?

Who knew that Qiao Yuping was still struggling with something, but when she saw her and saw her clothes, she suddenly came up and stared carefully at the piece on her waist.

"Huh?" He Shaoguang was puzzled, why is this girl strange, where is she still timid?

"Miss He, don't move." Qiao Yuping frowned, took out the sewing kit she carried around her waist, and sewed it on her clothes.

After a while, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and it seemed that she was holding back her tiredness and panicking.

"Alright."

"What's wrong?" He Shaoguang couldn't see it himself, so he asked her and Shi Nianjiao.

Shi Nianjiao tilted her head and stared at her: "I don't know... Ay? But I think you look better in this dress, and your waist is thinner. ”

Shi Nianjiao's eyes widened, not only the waist, but also somewhere, the lines were more obvious and smooth.

It looks so nice to touch... Ahh

Shi Nianjiao blushed.

Qiao Yuping suddenly realized what he had just done, and he was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Second Mrs. Lu, I saw that your clothes were a little unworthy of your body, so I changed them without permission..."

"Do you know how to cut clothes? You also made this garment yourself? He Shaoguang became interested, and it really fits much better than the ready-to-wear clothes bought in the store, and he looks more graceful.

"Hmm... But now it's doing less. Qiao Yuping said, embarrassed, as if this was something bad.

Second Lady Lu must also feel that she is very reckless, now.

Remembering his father's words again, Qiao Yuping was very annoyed.

"You're amazing!" He Shaoguang circled around her: "How can such a good craft be shelved?" If I can make clothes for myself, and they fit better than the embroiderers outside, I will do it often. ”

"Huh? Don't you think I should learn more housekeeping or something..."Without the expected disgust, Qiao Yuping was stunned.

Second Mrs. Lu is also a married woman, how is it different from what her father said?

"Hmm, what do you say? I don't know how to be a housekeeper, so I can cook a few dishes, and there are three brothers and sisters in the house to take care of it hahaha. ”

He Shaoguang is really too lazy to carry the burden on his shoulders, it is not yet the time for her to emerge, and the old lady is still healthy.

"Second sister-in-law, I said you..."Shi Nianjiao was speechless: "I will deduct the use case in your courtyard tomorrow." ”

"But as long as there is a competent housekeeper, you don't have to worry too much about this, right? What's the matter, is it the Queen Mother who wants you to learn more about housework? ”

Of course the Queen Mother won't, she also thinks so, Yuping has a soft temperament, and when the time comes, it will be good to point her a loyal and capable grandmother to marry together.

"It's not..."Qiao Yuping shook her head, yes, what is she doing with her father's words, there is a housekeeper...

The children of the Qiao family are like this, they are used to listening to Qi Kanghou's words, and many times they don't think about whether they make sense or not.

She thanked He Shaoguang, and then heard her name called.

She presented the square handkerchief, and the eldest princess smiled when she saw it: "Fang is... The daughter of the Yin family also embroidered a square veil, right? What else do you have here? ”

The eldest princess didn't want to embarrass Qiao Yuping, she just asked casually.

Qiao Yuping blushed, didn't know what to say, and was embarrassed on it.

He Shaoguang sat down, and when he got closer, he understood what she was struggling with.

The scene was cold, and the eldest princess was also a little embarrassed, she just asked casually... Why is the niece of the Queen Mother's family so sexual?

Just say no, no.

He Shaoguang stood up, took a step forward, and saluted the queen and the eldest princess before speaking: "Miss Qiao is modest, even if this embroidery is good." Look at the dress on my body, she just saw that it was inappropriate at a glance, and changed it for me, and it immediately fits.

When I asked again, I realized that the clothes she was wearing today were also cut by herself, which was really ingenious. ”

The eldest princess really immediately answered: "Oh? Take a look at this shrine... Sure enough, this is a craft that the embroidery girl in the palace can't match, what a skillful hand. ”

Fortunately, Qiao Yuping didn't understand that the eldest princess was comparing her with the embroidery girl this time, and she was belittling her.

"I've never seen you in this palace, you're General Lu's wife, right?" Although the eldest princess had never seen her, when she saw Shi Nianjiao, Xu Ruyun had shocked her at her banquet before, so she was deeply impressed by Lu Fu, and she probably knew who she was.

"The princess has good eyesight." He Shaoguang smiled and nodded, and when he saw that the eldest princess was no longer talking, he pulled Qiao Yuping and sat back.

Now many people know her.

I didn't know the name and didn't feel anything, but after I knew, I felt that she was well-mannered, advanced and retreated, and she would not be timid in the face of the queen and the princess, and she was much more calm than Qiao Yuping beside her.

It's not like the daughter of the Liupin official family at all.
