Chapter 49: Wasn’t the performer on stage invited from Qingchengfang?
"Your Majesty, the Min daughter is a cousin of the Prime Minister's family. The Min daughter's name is Lan Ziyu." Lan Ziyu said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is the daughter of my mother's cousin. It happened that she came to the capital with her father at this time. I have seen this girl before and missed her very much, so I decided to let her come to the palace today.
I wanted to take a look at this girl. I didn’t expect that she would grow up to be a big girl. Your Majesty, your concubine, didn’t explain it before, so please don’t blame me.” Concubine Yuan Huang said cautiously.
"Well, it doesn't matter. How could I blame Xin'er? If it weren't for Xin'er, how could I have heard such a beautiful sound of the piano." The emperor said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Yuanhuang's noble concubine replied.
"Reward, shouldn't such a good piano sound deserve a reward? Just give her the golden hairpin you prepared." The emperor said with a slight smile.
When Lan Ziyu heard that the emperor had rewarded her, she was extremely happy, but she couldn't forget where it was, so she lowered her head and knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After receiving the reward, it's time for the next noble lady to perform.
Lan Ziyu looked at Murong Xi with the gold hairpin, raised her eyebrows and sat down. As if to provoke her, why did Murong Xi care about this? She rolled her eyes and shouted in her heart: childish.
The following performance was so boring that Murong Xi almost fell asleep. The way she half-closed her eyes made Feng Mingye find it very funny. Indeed, he never attended such a banquet, because
It's too boring. And if he didn't want to see Murong Xi this time, he wouldn't be so bored as to blow the wind here.
Just when Murong Xi was looking forward to the end of the banquet, she heard that Madam Shangshu just now didn’t know who gave her the courage, she covered her lips and said with a smile: "This year’s banquet is really good, sitting in the courtyard and smelling the flowers.
Xiang enjoys the performances of all the noble ladies. However, I wonder if Princess Jingruo will give us a surprise?"
Lord Shangshu glared at Madam Shangshu, and tugged on her sleeves to tell her to shut up. Who knows, as soon as Madam Shangshu's voice fell, the Prime Minister's wife on the side picked up the conversation and said: "Princess Jingruo lives among the people, these talents
I’m afraid…”
"That's not necessarily the case. Your Highness the Princess may be very talented and talented. Perhaps these noble ladies are not even as talented as her." Another lady said.
Murong Xi was a little sleepy at first. After these people finished talking to each other one by one, she glanced at a few people. These people were all the ladies who had just been in Xianfu Palace. She naturally knew the purpose of saying these words.
Yes, I want her to perform on stage while riding a tiger. If the performance is not good, she will be embarrassed at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I am afraid that tomorrow, the rumor that she is mediocre, useless, and a big idiot will spread throughout the capital.
She pretended not to hear, and the emperor frowned when he heard it and had no intention of letting Murong Xi come on stage to perform. However, the emperor seemed a little unhappy after hearing what the lady below said, especially after the prime minister's wife had just finished speaking, he became even more
Not satisfied.
Because after these ladies discussed, the whole place was actually quiet. Concubine Yuanhuang smiled and said: "On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, all women who have not left the palace need to perform their talents in front of the palace. This is the rule of the Hundred Flowers Banquet. But ladies,
Princess Jingruo attended the Hundred Flowers Banquet for the first time in the palace, so naturally she didn't understand the rules. Moreover, the princess had just returned to the palace and was in a hurry to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet without making any preparations." The noble concubine of Emperor Yuan tried to smooth things over for Murong Xi.
The ladies below said
road.
Then he looked at Murong Xi and said gently: "However, if Xi'er has talent, she can take advantage of this Hundred Flowers Banquet to show off her talent. After a few days of getting along, Concubine Yuan Mu knew that Xi'er was smart and believed in talent performances.
It won’t be a problem for you either.”
After hearing this, the emperor's face looked better than before. So what if his princess had no talent? Why did she have to perform in front of the palace? Besides, Xi'er had just returned to the palace, how could she perform the talents of those noble ladies?
?
Murong Xi sneered in her heart, haha, are you trying to kill her? If you smooth things over for her here, you will let her be fooled over there, right? It seems that the noble concubine of the Yuan Emperor and the ladies below have made an agreement.
of.
So, Murong Xi blinked his eyes, looked at Imperial Concubine Yuan innocently and asked: "Concubine Yuan Mu, are the talents you are talking about the ones those women performed on the stage just now? Are those noble daughters from the ministers' families?
Tsk tsk tsk..."
Concubine Yuan Huang didn't understand what Murong Xi wanted to express, and thought she was going to perform on stage, so she asked with some confusion: "Yes, why did Xi'er ask like this? Does Xi'er also want to perform?"
"Concubine Yuan Mu, please spare Xi'er. Xi'er doesn't have any talents. If you let Xi'er play the piano, wouldn't you think it was a magic sound? Moreover, Xi'er also thought those people just now
It's the girl we invited from Qingchengfang." Murong Xi said to the Yuan Emperor's Concubine deliberately and innocently, but at the end, his voice was very low, as if he knew he had misunderstood the person who had just performed.
Just after I said this, the expressions on the faces of the women who had just finished the performance were colorful, and some of their faces were distorted. How, how could you compare them to women like Qingchengfang? You can tell by their names that they are not serious.
place!
"What? Haha, it's okay for Xi'er to attend the palace banquet for the first time and don't understand. Concubine Yuan Mu will tell you in detail when she has the chance. The women who performed just now are all noble daughters of the officials sitting below, and there are a few more
You must have met me in Xianfu Palace just now, how come you forgot about it so quickly?" Concubine Yuanhuang almost lost her breath. What is a woman from Qingchengfang? Isn't that the singer and dancer she invited? Just now
Lan Ziyu also performed, how could she not recognize it? Is this Murong Xi really stupid? If the emperor hadn't been by her side, she wouldn't have had the patience to explain it to her.
The emperor laughed and said nothing after hearing Murong Xi's words, but Feng Mingye sneered and said, "I think Princess Jingruo's metaphor is very appropriate, and I like it."
His Highness Pluto spoke, and the people sitting there instantly felt a chill. The people below did not dare to refute, for fear that His Highness Pluto would be disastrous when he was angry.
The emperor said at this time: "Okay, my princess has just returned to the palace, so you should go around her."
As soon as His Majesty's voice fell, Concubine Yuanhuang continued to say: "Your Majesty, the fireworks will be set off soon. Because this year's banquet is in the garden, I have asked people to arrange for the fireworks to be set off in the Imperial Garden so that we don't have to.
You don’t have to move as usual, you can just sit here and enjoy the fireworks.”
The emperor nodded, and then said: "Xin'er's arrangement is very good. This year's Hundred Flowers Banquet is really unique and very innovative."
"This is what a concubine should do." The purpose of the Yuanhuang Imperial Concubine was to slowly change the emperor's view of her. Therefore, she did not intend to frame Murong Xi during the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If Murong Xi made an appearance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet,
If something happened, then the emperor would definitely hate her even more. And Murong
If Xi Dun is really stupid, she just needs to make good use of it. There will be many opportunities in the future, and she can't rush to deal with them slowly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a bang and fireworks flying all over the sky. Murong Xi looked at the sky and sighed softly. She missed her father and mother a little, and she didn't know if they were doing well.
In fact, when Murong Wei arrived safely in the capital, she sent a letter to the emperor, saying that she and her family wanted to return to the capital to live for a while. The emperor immediately agreed after hearing about it. After Murong Wei received the reply, he
They set off and rushed to the capital, and now they were already on their way to the capital.
After the banquet, the officials and their families left the palace. Because Concubine Yuan Huang liked Lan Ziyu very much, they planned to let her stay in the palace for a few days. However, Murong Yan did not like this Lan Ziyu.
Although Lan Ziyu didn't say anything, she was planning to pay her respects to her mother and concubine after Lan Ziyu left the palace.
Murong Xi returned to Ning Xi Hall and was about to take a bath and change clothes. A purple figure broke into her room and asked: "Xier, why don't you wear the clothes I prepared for you today?"
Mo'er, Linglong and the others rushed in after hearing the sound. When they saw Feng Mingye breaking into the house, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Murong Xi rolled his eyes, sat down and said, "You go ahead and do your work. His Highness Pluto has no ill intentions."
Mo'er and the others went out, and Murong Xi looked at Feng Mingye who broke in and continued: "I appreciate His Highness Pluto's kindness, and I also like the clothes. However, today's banquet is really not suitable for wearing such attractive clothes.
People pay attention. Besides, I don’t want to be the center of attention at today’s Hundred Flowers Banquet. I will wear it if I have the chance in the future.”
"Xi'er means you will wear it in the future?" Feng Mingye asked.
"Yes." Murong Xi nodded and said.
"Okay over there, have a good rest." Feng Mingye disappeared in the blink of an eye after saying that.
Murong Xi was left alone in the room roaring, is this Pluto suffering from snake syndrome? He came here in the middle of the night just to ask her why she didn't wear that dress?
"Miss, why is His Highness Pluto here?" Mo'er and the others came in and asked.
"It's nothing to do. Ignore him. Is the water ready?" Murong Xi asked.
"Okay." Mo'er replied.
"You should also clean up and have a rest. I fell asleep after taking a shower." Murong Xi was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.
Early the next morning, Lan Ziyu got up and went to the main hall to pay her respects to Concubine Yuan Huang. Lan Ziyu stayed in Xianfu Palace yesterday, and Concubine Yuan Huang arranged for her to live in a side hall.
When Lan Ziyu walked in, Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang was drinking tea on the imperial concubine's couch. After seeing Lan Ziyu, Imperial Concubine Yuan Huang put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Lan Ziyu who was walking slowly.
"Yu'er has met your empress." Lan Ziyu said with a respectful salute.
"Come and sit down. Are you still used to Yu'er's new arrival in the capital?" Concubine Yuan Huang asked.
"Back to your Majesty, the Prime Minister's wife is very kind to Yu'er." Lan Ziyu said with a smile.
The two of them were talking about asking and answering questions. Suddenly, Concubine Yuan Huang noticed that Lan Ziyu seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked: "Yu'er, what's on your mind? Or did you decide last night which young master needed me?"
Will the palace serve as your advisor?" This chapter has been completed!
