The ladies performed nothing more than songs and dances, nothing new.
Xiao Qingtong suddenly stood up: "Everyone is dancing and playing the piano. We have seen enough. Why don't we do something different to change our eyes."
"Oh? Let's talk about Fanxiu. Do you want to do something different?" The Queen Mother became interested.
As soon as Xiao Qingtong stood up, Wen Nianruan knew that she was going to do something wrong.
As expected, Xiao Qingtong looked at Su Wanyan with a fake smile on his face: "Concubine Shu has been dancing with swords and guns since she was a child. Why not give us a sword dance today to open everyone's eyes."
Letting a concubine perform her talents for everyone is indeed a sign of lowering one's status.
Xiao Qingtong's move was an opportunity to retaliate. She still held a grudge against Su Wanyan when she was beaten, and Su Wanyan was only confined for a month without pain, which made Xiao Qingtong even more angry.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Su Wanyan and vent her anger.
But Xiao Qingtong forgot that Su Wanyan was not a vegetarian either.
Su Wanyan said with a cold face: "I won't come."
Two words, a clean rejection.
Ye Qianhe also disliked Su Wanyan's good looks and fanned the flames: "Princess Fanxiu, this is a good idea. Sister Shufei has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Since she entered the palace, her skills have been useless. Why don't I show you a few tricks?
Let everyone be happy."
What he said really made Su Wanyan look like a monkey.
Su Wanyan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Concubine De has learned painting since she was a child. She is an excellent painter. When she was ten years old, a painting could buy hundreds of taels of gold. Now that the flowers are blooming and the spring scenery is just right,
Concubine De, why don't you come and paint a picture for everyone to enjoy, it's not more entertaining than me dancing with swords and guns."
Ye Qianhe blushed: "The Kung Fu of Sister Shu Fei that everyone wants to see is not the painting of Concubine Chen."
"But I want to see it," Su Wanyan replied lightly.
"I would also like to see it."
Wen Nianruan suddenly interrupted, causing everyone to look at her. She smiled and said: "I have heard that Concubine De is a superb painter. As Concubine Shu said, it would be a pity not to paint such beautiful scenery today."
Her soft voice made people feel that she really wanted to see Ye Qianhe's paintings.
In fact, she didn't want to see it at all, she was just helping Su Wanyan out of trouble.
With the Queen Mother by her side, Ye Qianhe didn't dare to choke Wen Nianruan, but she couldn't condescend to paint and let so many people watch, it would lose her identity.
She had no choice but to smile apologetically: "It's not that I don't want to paint, it's just that I just injured my wrist yesterday and it's not suitable to hold a pen, so I can't paint now."
The Queen Mother answered: "The Ai family has some bottles of very effective gold sore medicine. I will send some to you soon. Don't be too tired these two days, just paint, so as not to get hurt again later."
This unabashed prejudice clearly shows that the Queen Mother is towards Ye Qianhe.
"Yes, I would like to listen to your Majesty."
Ye Qianhe responded happily, raised her chin and glanced at Wen Nianruan and Su Wanyan, a blatant provocation.
Wen Nianruan and Su Wanyan both agreed tacitly that they didn't want to talk to her anymore and waste their time.
Everyone was still looking forward to Su Wanyan's sword dance, but Su Wanyan drank tea calmly without even looking at everyone.
Wen Nianruan's fox eyes circled around everyone, and finally landed on the absent-minded Wen Ruochu. Her face was a bit pale, her eyes were dull, and she seemed to have no interest in the banquet.
Wen Nianruan said: "My third sister amazed everyone with her song "Pianhong Dance" back then. Why don't we dance it for everyone again so that everyone can feast their eyes on it."
Wen Ruochu was the most talented woman in the Imperial Capital. She was also known as the "Jinghong Fairy." She gained this reputation through her song "Pianhong Dance" and became famous in the Imperial Capital.
"Yes, I have also heard that Princess Wen danced "Pianhong Dance" very well, but she didn't have the chance to see it back then. Why don't we let Princess Wen perform a dance for everyone now so that the sisters can learn from it too."
"Princess Wen, please do a little bit. My daughter also wants to see it."
"Yeah, let's do some."
"."
Compared to Su Wanyan's sword dance, Wen Ruochu's dance was more popular.
After all, the girl's family doesn't like to dance with guns or swords, but they prefer to play the piano and dance.
At that time, Wen Ruochu's "Pianhong Dance" was famous in Xiliang. The ladies here had not seen it and wanted to read it and learn from it.
Being called on someone unexpectedly, Wen Ruochu came to his senses in a daze and stood up quickly: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I can't dance for you. When I feel better in the future, I can dance properly for you."
Since he is not feeling well, it is better for everyone not to be in trouble anymore.
The Queen Mother looked concerned: "What's wrong with Ruochu's health? Have you had any problems diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician?"
After all, this is her biological daughter-in-law, and the worry on her face is not fake at all.
Wen Ruochu smiled softly: "It's nothing serious. I haven't slept well these past few days and my energy is low. I just need to go back and have a rest. This worries the Queen Mother."
The main reason is that there has been a rift in the relationship with Xiao Weifeng in the past few days, but it is impossible for Wen Ruochu to talk about their personal affairs openly, it will only make people laugh.
Wen Zhiyan, who was sitting on the side, took the opportunity to stand up: "Empress Dowager, I have also learned "Pianhong Dance" for a while before. Why don't I let you show off to everyone in place of the princess?"
Since becoming the aunt of Prince Wen's Mansion, Wen Zhiyan has become more and more courageous and wants to be in the limelight everywhere.
Because she knew in her heart that if she performed well in front of everyone, she could gain face for Prince Wen's palace and get Xiao Weifeng's reward when she returned.
Since Wen Zhiyan had already recommended himself, the Queen Mother couldn't help but give her face, so she said: "Then let Aunt Wen perform for everyone."
Wen Zhiyan came back dressed in dance clothes, and as the music played, she danced gracefully among the flowers. She danced gracefully, and it was obvious at first glance that she was well versed.
The bees and butterflies were flying around her, and everyone was mesmerized. They thought that Wen Zhiyan would imitate others, and her dancing was not half as good as Wen Ruochu's. Unexpectedly, she danced with her own charm, which was no worse than Wen Ruochu's.
Even Wen Ruochu was surprised when he saw it. When did Wen Zhiyan dance so well?
Although Wen Zhiyan is a concubine, Aunt Jiang has not relaxed at all in her training. She has made her study hard in various talents since she was a child. However, because of her low status, she did not have the opportunity to show her talents at major banquets.
I didn't know Wen Zhiyan was so talented.
After the dance, everyone was in awe and full of praise. The Queen Mother couldn't help but nod: "Thank you."
Then Wen Zhiyan received a pair of high-quality jade bracelets as a gift from the Queen Mother. Looking at the people around her who looked at her with admiration, Wen Zhiyan became even more proud and proud.
"I didn't expect Aunt Wen to be so stunning. She is no worse than Princess Wen."
"As the aunt of Prince Wen's Mansion, Your Highness Prince Wen really found a treasure."
"Yes, if Aunt Wen hadn't been of low birth, His Highness King Wen would have promoted her as a concubine no matter what."
