Vol 5 Chapter 64: Drumming and spreading flowers

Because there has been no such excitement in the palace for a long time, in order to increase the fun at the moment, when the queen, the imperial concubine, the concubine Shu, and the concubine De concubine made questions, they all agreed not to disclose each other.
The other concubines are even more ignorant.
At this moment, listening to Princess Zhaoqing's words, all but Concubine De was curiously waiting.
De Fei didn't care about it herself, she only raised her fan to half cover her face, and said with a chuckle: "The concubine has always been nothing ingenious, but it's all old questions. Don't make a joke."
After seeing Princess Zhaoqing remove the kit, she glanced at the peach blossom paper in it, and said with a smile: "The topic of Concubine De's mother is playing drums and passing flowers."
The guests at the banquet were clearly relieved.
Fortunately, it is not an uncommon subject.
They have all played this.
The lord of Jinxi County has a master of famous flowers and his status is very expensive. Today, this one is responsible for giving Zhaoqing a gift. At this moment, he smiled and said: "But I don't know what other requirements do the moral concubines have?"
"But not." Zhaoqing shook his head, looked around, and said in a loud voice, "The Demu concubine said in the kit, because I don't know what you are good at, so the winners are not necessarily limited to poetry. There are other talents, such as singing, dancing, riding, and shooting. We have a big place here and we have all kinds of utensils."
Upstairs in Zezhi, the queen nodded slightly and said, "Concubine De is interested."
This subject is neither harsh, nor even limited to poetry. It seems loose, but in fact it is a different way to get the bottom of it.
Give these people a chance to show their strengths.
It is convenient for high-ranking people to understand the talents, eyesight, judgment, on-the-spot changes, etc. of these people as soon as possible...
"The concubine knows her own stupidity." De Fei said modestly, "I can't think of any new tricks even after thinking about it, and I am afraid that the children will be embarrassed by the unfamiliar topic, and it will not discourage everyone. So I chose this. Anyone can play. But I am afraid that some of the children are not interested in poetry, and they will be pitiful when they are in full view. Those who come to the banquet today must have some talents. It would be better to be more capable. Even if it is. So that everyone can participate, the children can also play happier, and it is also fun for us to watch."
She has not been for nothing in the palace all these years.
The queen, concubine, concubine Shu, and concubine Dessert together, and according to the tacit understanding, she must be the first one.
After all, the more important the later, isn’t it?
That being the case, she racked her brains to come up with new tricks. Wouldn't she wink if she robbed the queen or concubine from the limelight?
It's not as good as it is, but it will not go wrong.
At this moment, not only the queen, but Yun Fenghuang is also very satisfied with Concubine De, saying that she is considerate.
As we talked, the bottom has already begun, and the palace people on the spot folded a well-opened lotus from the lotus pond and moved it up again.
Princess Zhaoqing nominated herself. As a drummer, she took the ribbon from the maid, walked to the drum and blindfolded, and announced the start with a smile. Just as she was playing the drum, Princess Jinxi shouted: "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Zhaoqing asked curiously.
Princess Jinxi smiled and said, "Sister Zhaoqing covered this ribbon. It can't be counted. You have to check it for me. Otherwise, who knows if you are sneaking a peek?"
In fact, everyone is mentally prepared to show it up and down in the palace, so it doesn't matter whether Princess Zhaoqing cheated or not.
But when Jinxi said so, he ran up to check for a while, and then he returned to show that he could start. The nervousness of everyone was relaxed a little.
When Gu Zhen saw it, he said, "Jinxi and Zhaoqing are still young, so it is appropriate to cooperate."
"Is it a cousin who grew up together again, can you not join the contract?" Yun Fenghuang smiled and took the sentence.
At this moment, they can still talk and laugh. After playing the drums and spreading the word, the faces of the empress and concubine became serious, and they looked carefully at the guests who were passing lotus flowers quickly, their eyes flickered, and their thoughts turned... Zhaoqing stopped for the first time. , The lotus happened to fall into Wei Shuhan's hands.
The girl who is one of the three talented women of the Imperial Palace, did not play any tricks on this occasion. She thought a little bit, saying that she offered a poem "on the spot" and chanted a song that praised the banquet, praised the princess Zhaoqing, and praised the royal family. Seven laws.
The confrontation is neat, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and the meaning is beautiful...Although it is not amazing, it is above the average level.
Considering that this was done "on the spot", the evaluation must not go up to the next level.
Of course, whether it was on the spot... probably only the Wei family knew it in his heart.
After all, the subject of this level is the aunt of the family.
How can it be said that there is no care at all in private?
The concubines did not care about such details, after all, the family background was originally in their consideration of choosing daughter-in-law and son-in-law.
Seeing the face of Concubine De Fei at the moment, she praised a few words, probably because the girl is young and smart, and she will surely become a great talent in the future.
The next one is a lady of the Yin family, who is not as outstanding as Yin Shouxue in every respect. She just came to make up the number. She knew in her heart that she wanted a yaoqin and played a song of high mountains and flowing water in public. The skill is actually quite good, so that the concubine who hadn't taken it seriously gave her a few more glances.
Concubine Cui Shu even asked her father and brother specifically, but I heard that they were all petty officials. The key was that the brother was quite dull. He was able to come to the banquet today because of the light of the Yin clan and lost interest.
auzw.com The second prince in front of her has a special life background. To avoid suspicion, it is difficult to find a noble lady.
I originally thought that this girl from the Yin clan was not important to the Yin clan, and if she had excellent piano skills, she would have a common language with the concubine Shu who is also good at Yaoqin, but she could try to be included as the second prince concubine. But it's okay for the father and brother to have a low official position. The brother is a dude, which means that he can't cause trouble in the future.
If this is the other princes, there is no problem with sheltering the eldest brother-in-law.
However, the second prince's situation in the royal family is good if she can save herself. Then she won't have to drag her down and finally raise her current son.
Because the message started from the female guest. At first, the girls were spotted. Then, the concubines enjoyed the pipa, 箜篌, flute, singing and dancing, calligraphy, poetry... I have to say, today. Those who came to the banquet even had a few brushes, and they were all very talented.
Of course, even the noble ladies of high-class families, raised in deep boudoirs since childhood, rarely see such occasions to show themselves in full view, and so are not a few who are too nervous.
There were even a few ladies who were too nervous and made several mistakes.
After barely sitting down, a face that was originally snow-white flushed so much that the shame and chagrin were hard to subside for a long time.
The concubines watched them in their spare time, smiling and commenting from time to time, and they were praising these girls in their hearts. At this time, the drums stopped again, and the lotus flowers in their hands and the awkward look was something that everyone was quite unpredictable. Beautiful girl.
Looking at the appearance of only thirteen or fourteen years old, even though the clothing and jewelry are separated from each other, it is easy to see that they are quite different from those serious ladies.
It's just that beauty is quite beautiful. At a young age, it can be called charming.
Seeing her standing up with embarrassment, the concubines thought for a while, but couldn't remember, they couldn't help asking the maid beside her: "Whose girl is that?"
As a result, the attendants were not very clear. In the end, the people in front of the queen went out and asked for a while, and then came back to report: "That is the daughter of the former prefect of Shu, Feng, and the original article did not intend to invite their sisters. But at the time, the empress did not intend to invite their sisters. When rewarding his family, his mother repeatedly requested that the empress also sent a post because of Yongchunhou's face..."
When the palace official said so, everyone also remembered.
This is when Chunjia responded to Yongchunhou's request of "marrying a beautiful woman" and sent the Imperial Secretary to look for the country under the blue and blue waters, and finally found such a girl from an official family who was barely worthy of Yongchunhou.
Even for this reason, his father was transferred to the Imperial Capital to facilitate the marriage... It’s just that Mrs. Zhun Yongchunhou’s temperament is still unknown. Judging from her mother’s behavior, she was somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden wealth and decency. The idea is to go to the end on the road of Pangaozhi.
The concubines were a little bit smiling, and did not say anything, just said: "Is a prefect daughter anyway, but I don't know what talents they have?"
The girl hesitated for a while with embarrassment, her posture was quite chubby, because her appearance was indeed outstanding, even if her hairpin dress was not as bright as a decent lady, she was also very popular because of her natural beauty. meaning.
Therefore, on the male guest side, many young princes showed pity.
This made the concubines' faces sinking.
What do you mean by daring to show such an expression in front of them?
Although they were very picky about today's male guests just now, but... these are all candidates!
The princesses haven't finished their selection yet, so come forward and seduce? ? ?
"You should mention Yongchunhou when your mother is free." Concubine De was very upset and persuaded the queen, "As the saying goes, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person is naturally reasonable."
With this kind of stuff, whether it is Mrs. Zhun Yongchunhou or his sister, it may not be a good thing for Yongchunhou.
Gu Zhen twitched, and said, "Why don't this palace know this truth? It's just that Yongchunhou has reached the age of talking to each other long ago, but he has been squandered so far. I don't know how many times my Majesty has persuaded him if he should be persuaded. You are determined. Please bear with me. After all, your Majesty has only a few brothers in total?"
She didn't listen to the concubine's concubine.
There is no emperor in the left and right middle palace.
No matter how charming Feng is, she can't get in the way.
Then why did she try to force Yongchunhou to force the concubine De's displeasure?
The corner of Defei's mouth curled, and she said to the palace man beside her: "Go to the table and say, if there is really nothing you can do, just..."
He didn't finish speaking, but he saw that Feng opened his mouth and said something thinly and weakly.
After all, Zezhi Tower was far away, so if Zhaoqing deliberately raised his voice like that, I really didn't hear these words.
But next, she picked up the wine bottle in front of her, drank it all, and immediately let the servant girl continue to fill it up, but only drank three of them in one breath before she blushed and took her seat.
Co-authoring is a talent that consciously has nothing to come up with, so he punished it.
The concubines were a little surprised. Although this was the most suitable choice, considering that her mother had changed her way to cram their sisters into such occasions... it was normal for this girl to try her best to show off.
"Is it possible that the snobbish mother is his mother, but the girl is sensible?" They thought for a while, but didn't say anything, so they kept watching.
The status of the Feng sisters was the most insignificant. They were added by the queen only because of Yongchunhou's face, so they belonged to the last banquet.
After her, the lotus soon arrived at the male guest.
As soon as the drum sound stopped, it fell into the hands of the male and female masculine son who had just been rejected by De Fei.
