Chapter 213: provocative

Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun Da accompanied him. The old princess’s face was always faint, and there was no joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. After sitting on the main seat, she waved her hand. The princess smiled at the old lady Yun and Mrs. Yun. Nodded, Mrs. Yun Da helped the old lady Yun to sit on the side seat next to the main seat.
The main seat was originally the old princess, the princess and the princess, each of whom was short. The old princess asked Xiao Wei to sit next to her, and Wu Yiyu and Xiao Jinglin joined the case. The princess asked Mrs. Yunda to add seats to Mrs. Xiao and the mother and daughter of Xiao Jingyuan.
There are still a few short tables on both sides of the main seat. Now there is an old lady Yun sitting. Ren Yaoqi is guessing who the remaining ones are for, but he sees Mrs. Xu and Ouyang coming over with the ladies. After the ladies met the ceremony with the old princess and princess, they sat on the short table next to Mrs. Yun. There were six people sitting there. Ren Yaoqi only recognized Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yun, and Mrs. Su. The remaining three wives were all about the same age as Mrs. Xu, and their appearance was very gentle and elegant.
The ladies who were all standing curtseyed.
The princess nodded gently and said, "Sit down." Then everyone sat down.
"Everyone is here? Let's start." The old princess raised her eyes and whispered to the princess.
The princess replied and nodded at Madam Xu.
Although the banquets for daughters in previous years were organized by the Yun family, the inspection of the talents of the daughters was hosted by Mrs. Xu's Ouyang clan.
Ouyang stood up and said slowly: "You must know the rules of today's competition, so I won't repeat them. Gentlemen of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, six arts, no matter what talent you think you are good at, you can take it. Come out and show. In the end, we will decide the best ten non-Zhu Jinshi as the chief leaders of this year's golden banquet. The saint said, "A gentleman has nothing to fight, he must shoot. If you give in, you will rise and drink. The competition is also a gentleman. "As long as you can understand this truth, then the result is not important..."
Ouyang's voice is not loud, nor sonorous, and even with some pathological lack of breath, but there is a unique charm that makes people calm down and listen to her.
Ren Yaoqi sat down and looked at Ouyang, and saw that although her complexion was still not very good, her spirit was good. I don't know if the prescription will help her disease. Ren Yaoqi wanted to find a chance to visit after the golden banquet was over.
Ouyang had finished speaking and sat down, but Ren Yaoqi found that the ladies who were sitting upright seemed to be a little commotion, although that commotion was shown to be very restrained. Ren Yaoyu, who was sitting next to her, would always quietly look into the Taohuā forest opposite from time to time.
Ren Yaoqi also looked up, only to find that there seemed to be people in the Taohuā forest. In a blink of an eye, I saw the shyness and eagerness of the ladies, and Ren Yaoqi understood. It must be the same as the tea party in the Su family last time. The young masters are gathering in the woods.
I heard that only a day’s day before, there are already more than a dozen families with each other's intentions to get married. These young boys and girls must also very much want to know the appearance of the people they will be dating, after all, if they meet again next time It is probably the time for the bridal huā candles, because the two parties who got married are probably not in the same prefecture. They just look at huā through most of the peach forest mist and don’t know if they can recognize people clearly.
Looking at the elders in the audience, including the old princess, none of them showed any discomfort about it, presumably this is also the practice of the banquet.
Ren Yaoqi was absent-mindedly thinking about these things, but listened to Ouyang's words on it: "Princess, how about you start today?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look up at Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin was sitting there with no expression on her body meridian and acupuncture points. He raised her head casually when she heard Ouyang's call. Subconsciously glanced at Ren Yaoqi's place, Ren Yaoqi smiled and blinked at her and nodded.
Xiao Jinglin thought that she would play once sooner or later, and the first one would be the first one. She would learn from those women who got sick three times a day and leave first.
Thinking like this, when Xiao Jinglin was about to nod her head, she heard Wu Yiyu sitting next to her say first: "Jinglin is afraid that she is not ready yet, so let me start by now." What to say, she stood up first.
Xiao Jinglin frowned. The princess was about to say something, but the old princess smiled and said: "Since Yiyu wants to come first, let Yiyu come. Jinglin's finale is also good today."
The old princess opened. , Wang Hao could only swallow the words, smiled and nodded: "It's the same for Yiyu to come first."
Wu Yiyu turned her head and showed a smile at Xiao Jinglin, carrying everyone behind her back, with undisguised pride and malice in her smile. Xiao Jinglin opened her eyes and regarded her as nothing.
When the two maids carried a piano case and placed it under the main seat, Ren Yaoqi faintly felt bad.
Wu Yiyu walked slowly to the piano case and sat down. Her maid took a piano and placed it on the piano case in front of her. Wu Yiyu raised an arrogant smile at the corner of his mouth, and raised his hand to pluck the strings.
The familiar piano sound flowed out of Wu Yiyu's fingertips, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help sighing, and looked at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin looked at Wu Yiyu expressionlessly. Wu Yiyu wore a purple jacket and skirt today. The whole body was embroidered with a flying phoenix spreading wings with gold thread. There was no embroidered Zhai pattern. The piping on the cuff skirt was embroidered The eight-treasure pattern of "Whelk umbrella cover, huā canned fish long". Wearing a luxurious white jade inlaid Baolian huā crown on his head, the dress of this body is actually similar to Xiao Jinglin herself.
Xiao Jinglin doesn't pay much attention to dressing, so she didn't notice Wu Yiyu's dress before. But now, Wu Yiyu played the song "Moon Man Guanshan" she had practiced for a long time before her.
Xiao Jinglin is free and easy, and she doesn't really care about the winning or losing of today's golden banquet, but Wu Yiyu's doing so made her feel a little sorry for her mother's thoughts for her huā these days, and wasted Ren Yao's period to practice piano with her. Those time and energy.
Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but glanced at the princess, the smile on the princess's face faded a lot, and she picked up the teacup and slid the tea foam indifferently.
The old princess squinted slightly, seeming to be immersed in Wu Yiyu's piano and did not notice the surrounding atmosphere. Xiao Wei smiled and looked at his daughter, and the tip of the index finger of his right hand gently tapped the short table.
They didn’t seem to realize that there was something wrong with Wu Yiyu’s behavior. It’s just that Xiao Jinglin was practicing piano in the Yanbei Palace. Everyone in the palace knew that even the sweeping lady in the palace knew that the princess was playing only that piece of music every day. .
Xiao Jinglin finally met Ren Yaoqi's worried eyes, she thought about it, and smiled comfortingly at Ren Yaoqi.
Ouyang also frowned, but today's game is hosted by her, she can't say anything. After all, I said at the beginning, whatever talents to show is up to the ladies.
Wu Yiyu finally finished playing the tune.
In all fairness, Wu Yiyu is pretty good at playing, at least her piano skill is much better than Xiao Jinglin, who is temporarily embracing her. If Xiao Jinglin insisted on playing the song "Moon Man Guanshan", no matter how he played it, he would inevitably fall behind. It must be Wu Yiyu's intention to play Xiao Jinglin first.
Wu Yiyu got up and returned to her seat. When she sat down, she moved slightly past her body and whispered in Xiao Jinglin's ear, "How am I playing?"
Xiao Jinglin turned her head and glanced at her, her eyes seemed to be looking at an invisible ant, and then she turned her head without saying anything, and ignored her.
Xiao Jinglin has already decided not to play, although deep down she may be a little bit unwilling.
Wu Yiyu's complexion was irritated by her eyes, and then as if thinking of something, the corner of her mouth provoked a sneer.
"If you don't play, let alone today's leader, you won't even get one of the ten leaders, then you will lose the face of Yanbei Palace and the princess. Oh, I Forget that there is Jingyuan in the Yanbei Palace, but the face of the princess is not easy to save. You don't care, and the princess does not care?"
Xiao Jinglin continued to remain motionless. She knew that Wu Yiyu wanted to provoke her anger by saying this, causing her to lose control and anger in the public. If she was like Wu Yiyu, she would be foolish and hopeless.
Although in her heart, Xiao Jinglin had silently greeted Wu Yiyu's eighteenth generation ancestors one by one.
Wu Yiyu saw that no matter what she said, Xiao Jinglin didn't react at all, but she couldn't help feeling regretful, but she was still in a good mood waiting to see the excitement.
Next, the ladies came forward to perform their talents in the order of seating. This time the seating was originally ranked by the family's family status, so no one had any opinions. However, the girls of the Ren family were in a higher order because of the special care of the princess, which made them excited. Everyone knows that the more you rank in the front, the greater your chance of winning.
After Wu Yiyu, Yun Qiuchen, the eldest of the Yun family, played. However, Miss Yun had already won the first prize at the last daughter banquet. This time with Xiao Jinglin and the others, Yun Qiuchen felt that he was just walking through the scene, and he retired after writing a poem.
Miss Su Fangfei from the Su family is also well-known for her talents and appearance, although she lost to Yun Qiuchen in the last daughter banquet and won the second place. Miss Su’s performance this year is two-handed calligraphy. When everyone circulated after writing, Ren Yaoqi also glanced at it. Miss Su’s left-hand calligraphy should have only been practiced in the last two years, although it looks like it looks like it. After all, the rhyme is missing a bit, but the right-hand writing is good. (To be continued
