Chapter 047: Have a Begging Festival

The first activity is to thread the needle and beg, use the multicolored thread through the nose of the needle, whoever is faster wins.

This doesn't need to be taught, Su Mu's needlework is not bad, and Lu Qingtang can't help it.

Soon, dozens of girls present were eliminated, and the remaining thirty people, including Su Mu, could participate in the next round of activities.

The second activity is the needle test.

The night before yesterday, Lu Qingtang asked Su Mu to prepare a bowl of "Mandarin Duck Water" in advance, the so-called Mandarin Duck Water is a mixture of water during the day and night, and after being exposed to the sun for a day, the skin of the water will form a membrane.

Just take out a needle and place it on the surface of the water, make it float on the surface of the water, throw the shadow in the bowl, and the straight one loses, and the one who bends wins.

This is a bit difficult, and if you don't pay attention, you will drop the needle into the bottom of the bowl.

Su Mu was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to cast the needle for a long time.

Standing next to Su Mu was a noble girl who didn't know which family, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Su Mu's timid appearance.

"I really don't know what kind of person can participate in the begging festival in the palace, it's really funny!"

She was dressed in luxurious clothes, the Su Mu set off was a little shabby, and she was holding a gold needle in one hand, as proud as a peacock.

Lu Qingtang couldn't help laughing through the hat, "Didn't you also throw needles?" What qualifications do you have to laugh at others! ”

"When I say this, I can naturally win, unlike some people, who are as small as a needle." The noble girl rolled her eyes, "I've practiced countless times at home, and every time it's bent, you see!" ”

As she spoke, she gently placed the needle in her hand on the surface of the water in the bowl, but saw that the golden needle was indeed floating on the water.

The noble girl clasped her hands and looked arrogant, "See, I'm here to catch it, if you can't see it, take off your hat, how ugly it must be, and cover your face!" ”

Lu Qingtang glanced at the needle on the water surface again, but saw that the water surface was shaking, and the needle floated to the middle again, and the shadow projected to the bottom of the bowl also became straight.

"Yo yo yo, this craft is really your parents' face!" This time, Lu Qingtang clasped his arms with both hands, "Su Mu, show her what real skills are." ”

Su Mu smiled shyly, put the needle in his hand on the water, and according to Lu Qingtang's teaching, let the needle be placed as close to the bowl as possible.

Sure enough, the needle cast a curved shadow at the bottom of the bowl.

The noble lady on the side flattened her mouth and snorted coldly: "What's the big deal, isn't it just the Begging Festival, it's a big deal to come back next year." ”

"I can't come." Lu Qingtang sat down on the chair behind him and raised his eyes to look at her, "I won't use it tomorrow, I don't have to enter the palace in this life." ”

The noble lady looked puzzled and looked her up and down, "Who are you, why do you say that, what qualifications do you have to give orders here!" ”

It's just that she lost an event, and it's not like she hasn't lost, so she won't even enter the palace?

A hooded person dares to give orders to her, what kind of thing!

At this time, Mama Gao walked over and looked at the noble girl with a smile on her face, "This is Princess Chen, don't you need me to explain more?" Dare to ask Princess Chen if she has this qualification? ”

When the noble girl heard Mama Gao's words, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, if she hadn't held on to the table, she was afraid that she would fall.

She should have thought of it a long time ago.

Today's concubine Lu Qingtang, the concubine of King Chen, is ugly, and she has to wear a hat when she goes out.

The only one who can go in and out of the palace and wear a hat is Lu Qingtang, why didn't she think of it.

With a "plop", the noble girl knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Lu Qingtang while begging for mercy, "The courtiers have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, please ask Princess Chen to spare me, the courtiers know that they are wrong!" ”

Not allowing her to enter the palace means that she will never have the opportunity to contact the nobles of the palace again in her life.

Lu Qingtang didn't speak, and turned his face to the side.

"Come on, invite this young lady out, and you won't be allowed to step into the palace gate for half a step in the future!"

Mama Gao glanced at her coldly, waved her hand, and the two palace maids came up and dragged the noble girl out of the Qinghua Gate.

When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to say much, and they didn't dare to underestimate the people around them, maybe it was a big man.

"Princess Chen, all this miscellaneous things have been cleaned up, you can continue to play." Mama Gao bowed slightly to Lu Qingtang, and then retreated.

At this time, the third activity began, celebrating the birthday of the cow.

It is to decorate the cow's skull with flowers to see who looks better, but there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people in this kind of aesthetic thing.

At the moment, there are only a dozen or so people left, it's just a coincidence, the champion has already been decided, and Su Mu and these people are just a foil.

Seeing that Su Mu was arranging flowers seriously, Lu Qingtang was distracted on the side.

Mama Gao is here, so the queen must be here too, doesn't it mean that the queen is uncomfortable, why is she here again.

After celebrating the birthday of the cow, it is to plant and ask for children.

The mung bean sprouts that were made a few days ago were wrapped with blue and red colored ropes and knotted, asking for a good omen for fertility and blessings.

The last one is to eat tangram fruit, which is also Su Mu's forte.

The fruit is made first, then put it into the oil pan to fry, and then pour the osmanthus nectar after it is done, which is delicious and fun.

This is also what Lu Qingtang is looking forward to the most, and after it is over, he can go to the palace to watch the play.

Just after everyone thought it was over, they were told that the link of Joy Spider Yingqiao was temporarily added.

Because the queen is afraid of insects, this item has not appeared for several years, why did she temporarily add it this year?

Under the blank eyes of everyone, the palace people put the melons and fruits on the table.

Spider cleverness is to let the spider climb on the fruit and build a spider web on the fruit.

If the spider crawls on the body, it is even more joyful.

In ancient times, spiders were auspicious.

But since the queen is also present, why add this link temporarily.

It's really puzzling.

In order to make Su Mu more "skillful", Lu Qingtang used the melons and fruits in the fruit bowl to build a bridge, so that the spider could build a web better.

After placing the melons and fruits, Lu Qingtang sat aside and chatted with Su Mu.

At this time, the queen mother was also chatting with Ning Guifei.

The two talked about the demeanor of the nobles, sighed that it was good to be young, and talked happily.

"Queen Mother, why don't we go down and have a look." Ning Guifei was the first to speak.

The queen hesitated at first, and when she remembered the words that had been passed into the Chongning Palace, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

What is the surname of the harem Ning?

Her queen was just sick, not dead.

Because of her poor health, it is Concubine Ning Guifei who is now in charge of the harem, and the queen is inevitably a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, on the occasion of this year's begging festival, the queen landed here, so that everyone could remember that she was still the queen in this harem.

Even if Ning Guifei is in charge of the Six Palaces, even if this begging festival is organized by her, she is still just a concubine.
