"Young master, I have misunderstood. This young lady did not mean this. She is just feeling unwell today and her singing skills have been greatly affected. If she continues to sing, I am afraid it will disturb the interest of all the young masters." The beautiful woman said apologetically.
"Why are you feeling unwell? Don't use such excuses to deal with me." A young man stood up from his seat and said impatiently: "Why didn't I see any discomfort in you? If you are asked to sing, you can sing. Today
My lords, you are all here in the same year as you, if you don’t sing, you will spoil everyone’s interest.”
At this moment, he was secretly annoyed that this actress didn't know how to praise him. It was because he had just seen her singing skills that he appointed her to sing his favorite song. Unexpectedly, she sang other people's lyrics simply and happily, and it was his own.
Here, he is actually trying to push the envelope in every possible way, which is obviously a loss of face for him in front of so many people of the same year and all the adults.
The beautiful woman looked troubled. Today, at the princess's birthday party, all the famous singers and singers from all over the city were invited to sing and dance for the fun. They couldn't refuse at all. Even though she was having her menstrual period these past few days, she occasionally felt cold and was extremely unwell.
, and dare not disobey.
It's just that the physical discomfort is getting more and more serious at this moment. I'm already a little dizzy. No matter how good my singing skills are, I can't show it. It's really not suitable to speak.
But she also knew in her heart that none of the people present tonight could be offended by a little actor like her. She gritted her teeth and was about to nod in agreement when a charming voice came from the side.
The singer came over and said with a smile: "Master Cui is not aware of something. If you are feeling a little unwell today, if Master Cui doesn't mind it, how about I sing this song?"
Wan Ruoqing looked at the singer with a look of gratitude in her eyes. She was also good at singing and was well-known in Qing'an Mansion. The two of them had never had a close relationship on weekdays. He didn't expect that she would come forward to help him at this moment.
Rescue.
"Who do you think you are?" The Cui man glanced at her coldly, turned to look at Wan Ruoqing, and said coldly: "Are you serious that you don't want to sing?"
The woman glared at him, her body trembled, she opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She is just a singer with a humble status, and the other party is a leader among the officials in Qing'an Mansion, so naturally she does not dare to say anything more.
After casting an apologetic look at Wan Ruoqing, he quietly backed away.
We have long been accustomed to such scenes. The faces of the singers and actresses in the venue showed some sadness and anger, but they could only lower their heads and dare not speak.
"You really don't want to sing?"
When Cui's man said this, his voice rose slightly, and many people around him stopped talking and looked over in confusion.
"Hey, brother Yanxin, what's going on?"
"Strange, why would Brother Yanxin embarrass an actor?"
"Haha, he drank a lot just now, and he is probably a little drunk now."
There were also people who were relatively close who knew the whole story and gave a brief explanation at this moment. Everyone guessed that Cui Yanxin was really drunk tonight because he was trying to embarrass an actor for no reason.
Speaking of which, the wine in this prince's palace is really good. The scholars are all drunk. They all have an amazing capacity for drinking. However, they don't dare to drink it tonight because the wine is too strong. If they drink it normally, they would drink it.
, but tonight I am worried about getting drunk and causing trouble...
Everyone looked at the two people with expressions of interest, but no one came up to try to persuade them.
A mere actor, a lowly woman, is in trouble, and no one will take her seriously.
"Brother Yanxin, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to embarrass a weak woman like this." Wan Ruoqing was about to grit his teeth and agree, when a young man in luxurious clothes walked out of the crowd and walked towards this side.
"Brother Zian, what do you mean?" Cui Yanxin looked at the young man coming over, frowned and asked.
He and Jiang Zian were both Jinshi candidates in Qing'an Prefecture this year. They didn't have many interactions in the past. They exchanged a few words tonight. I guess he wasn't a nosy person, so why did he stand up for this actress?
The young man smiled and said, "Brother Yanxin, there is no need to be angry. Miss Ruoqing is an old acquaintance of Zi'an."
The man surnamed Cui was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After the two looked at each other, they looked at him strangely and said with a smile: "I can't believe that Brother Zian is also a passionate seed..."
"Haha, to be honest, brother Yanxin, I have been attracted to Miss Ruoqing for a long time. When I returned home from high school, I thought of getting rid of her low status and taking her back..." The young man smiled and said to Cui Yanxin, cupping his hand.
.
"That being the case, I will naturally no longer make it difficult for her." Cui Yanxin nodded. Since the other party had already spoken, he naturally would not insist. He turned to look at the actor and said: "Tonight, all of you adults and these same years are here.
Since Brother Zian is interested, if you agree, it will be considered as a testimony."
He saw Jiang Zian's intention and wanted to help him at this time.
"Yan Xin's words make sense."
"Haha, Brother Zian stood up for being a beauty, and it will be a good story if word spreads."
"It's true, there are so many people witnessing it tonight, and I won't allow him to regret it in the future, so just agree to it."
In an instant, countless officials stood up and said.
Since they were Jinshi scholars, it was naturally impossible for them to tell the matchmaker that they were marrying a lowly girl, but it was still okay to take her as a concubine. In fact, such things were common among them.
Officials who are a little further away have long been accustomed to this. Even the concubines in their families were famous actors in Qing'an Prefecture or were very popular courtiers in the Qing Dynasty. This kind of custom was not seen among the literati.
Quite popular among them.
At this time, the anger on the faces of the other singers and actors in the field had long since disappeared, and their eyes looking at Wan Ruoqing were full of envy.
For lowly women like them, this is the best ending in life compared to old age, sex, and loneliness, right?
The young master was awarded Jinshi at a young age and had a bright future. Even being his concubine would not be considered a humiliation, but would be a great blessing.
Jiang Zian looked at the beautiful woman with a smile and said softly: "Ruo Qing, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Wan Ruoqing looked up at him with a smile on her face and said, "Ruo Qing understands Mr. Jiang's feelings, but... I'm sorry."
The feeling of physical discomfort became stronger and stronger. She resisted dizziness and picked up a piece of rice paper. What was written on it was Cui Yanxin's new words. After bowing slightly to Jiang Zian, she walked towards the pavilion without looking back.
go.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw this. She would rather sing lyrics than be Jiang Zian's concubine?
When the singers and actresses saw this scene, a little regret appeared on their faces. If it were them, they would have agreed without hesitation.
The smile on Jiang Zian's face froze. After alternating between blue and white for a while, he smiled again and said, "Haha, it seems that Zian is just wishful thinking."
Being rejected in front of so many people was already a huge loss of face. However, although he was extremely angry, he did not show any displeasure. Otherwise, it would only make people think that he was too small-minded.
After Cui Yanxin was slightly surprised by this, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, Jiang Zian's matter had nothing to do with him. Since the actor had gone up to sing the lyrics, his original goal had been achieved.
After the brief accident, everyone stopped thinking about this matter and turned to discussing Cui Yanxin's lyrics just now.
"I just read Yanxin's lyrics, and it's a rare masterpiece."
"When the singer sings it, Brother Yanxin will probably be in the limelight again."
"Haha, you have the world in mind, so much so that you can hardly eat or sleep peacefully, showing your sorrow for the country and the people. Brother Yanxin is really a role model for our generation."
Cui Yanxin said, with a slight expression of color on his face. His thoughts were flowing tonight and he was in great condition. He wrote such a poem just to leave a good impression in front of all the adults. The singer's singing skills are good, I'm afraid.
It also adds a lot of color to this poem.
Before Wan Ruoqing reached the pavilion, her dizziness became more intense. When she stepped up the steps, she accidentally stepped on the air, staggered and almost fell.
At this moment, a pair of strong hands were placed on her shoulders. She was frightened and suddenly got away. She turned her head and finally felt relieved when she saw a familiar face.
"Are you okay?" The young man looked at her worriedly.
"It's nothing." Wan Ruoqing held back her discomfort and shook her head gently.
The young man looked at her pale face and remembered what he had just seen outside. He frowned and took the rice paper from her hand. After glancing at it, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground.
"WTF."
The faint voice of disdain clearly reached the ears of everyone in the venue.
