Chapter 6 Shocking Step by Step
drawing lottery is a game that daughters love. First, they prepare two bamboo tubes, one with bamboo sticks with the names of the noble girls attending the banquet, and the other with bamboo sticks with different performance items written on them.
First, the queen draws the name lot, and the girl who is drawn is here to draw the performance lot. Whichever lot is drawn must be according to the performance program written on this lot, which cannot be rejected.
This is a good time for the ladies to show their talents. Moreover, although the cold general has left, the third prince is still at the table. What an honor it would be to perform well and make the third prince fresh and leave a little impression.
At this time, it is the most proud time for Qin Yun's makeup. Her poetry, calligraphy, music, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all inherited from everyone. There is no one who is not proficient. Any one she draws at will can amaze the four people.
Even under the veil, Qin Yunuan could clearly see Qin Yun's smearing and expectation at the corners of her mouth. She smiled faintly and responded to Qin Yun's extremely swollen vanity.
At the time of the banquet, the palace people had already brought up several cases, and there were still a lot of tricks on them, all of which were related to the projects to be performed on the flowers drawn later. The ladies were eager to try. Queen Chen looked around for a long time, thinking that the time had come. She was about to open her mouth, but she heard a delicate voice suddenly. "Yo, the queen sister has begun to draw lots. It seems that my sister is really late."
I didn't see him hear his voice first, accompanied by a sound of jade pendants. A woman dressed in rich clothes and bright red walked around the palace people. Her forehead was painted with a gorgeous phoenix lotus flower, which was the noble concubine who had been favored for 20 years in the palace.
Empress Chen looked at the phoenix lotus flower in Yun's forehead. Yun's imperial concubine was thirty-six years old. She was smart and good-mouthed. She could always think of some new things to make the emperor happy. Thinking of the day before yesterday, the emperor specially named the ingenious makeup of Yun's noble concubine. He ordered Yun to paint for him every day. Empress Chen's heart In it, it was inevitable that she was a little unpleacious, but in front of her, she still praised Concubine Yun.
"It's not too late," Queen Chen smiled and said, "I heard that my sister had a cold the day before yesterday. Is it better recently?"
"It's much better," Concubine Yun covered her mouth slightly with a veil and sat down at the head of Empress Chen. "It's just that the emperor is still worried and comes to visit every day. Alas, it's really hard for the emperor to work in the country's affairs. When he returns to the harem, he has to worry about her sister's sick body. How dares to let the emperor care so much? Naturally, she has to recuperate more. Get well soon." After saying that, he nod again and said, "So my sister has not been able to go to Ciren Palace these days to say good. Please forgive me."
Noble Concubine Yun hides her show off and arrogance everywhere, and Empress Chen always faces it with a dignified and virtuous air, smiling.
Qin Yunuan looked at the two people who were really tired and depressed, but she heard the two girls beside her whispering something, in which she inhaled in surprise and calculated something in pieces. Originally, I didn't want to care too much, but I heard the two people pull Fang Ziying on their left and said, "Sister Fang's flower bag is so beautiful. What's in it?"
"It's a lily." Fang Ziying told him bluntly and picked up the goose yellow flower bag in her hand, "It smells quite fragrant."
"Oh, I heard that Sister Fang's favorite is osmanthus. Coincidentally, my sister's purple flower bag is osmanthus, and it happens that my sister's favorite is the lily forehead. Why don't Sister Fang change it with you." The girl who asked this question raised her eyebrows cleverly, and she couldn't escape Qin Yunuannuan's eyes.
"That's it." Fang Ziying didn't think much about it, so she untied the flower bag at her waist and was ready to hand it over, but her wrist was pressed down by a slender hand and glanced at it. What she saw was Qin Yu's warm and gentle smile. "Have you forgotten, Sister Fang? At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner last year, Sister Fang only had a rash on the second day because she ate a piece of osmanthus cake. She rested for half a month. After saying that, he pretended to laugh and said, "Sister Fang, don't forget the lesson of the past car.
The girl who tried to change the flower bag was stunned, and Fang Ziying also realized for a long time. At last year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, she really ate a lot of osmanthus cake, and later she also had a rash, but she had a rash. After returning home, she played with her sister's flower cat for a while, which had nothing to do with osmanthus cake.
Fang Ziying was puzzled. In the afterglow, she saw that the Shang girl who wanted to change her flower bag was uneasy in her eyes. She moved her little hand around with some dodging and fear. She knew that there must be something catty here. She followed Qin Yunuan's words and said, "Oh, I really forgot this matter, thanks to Qin Mei. Sister reminds me." After saying that, it was the reassuring smile on Qin Yunuan who also blinked his eyes back.
Miss Shang still wanted to argue, but she heard Queen Chen click on her name. Queen Chen looked at the Miss Shang with aween smile on her face, but this Miss Shang was in a cold sweat. She was not afraid of the awe-inspiring but reasonable queen on her face. What she was afraid of was this belly sword and the Yun Guifei who ate people and didn't spit bones. . What's more, she didn't know until a while before that Concubine Yun hated purple the most. No, she was disgusted. Therefore, there was not a trace of purple in Yun's huge Fuxi Palace.
Helpless, this girl still had to attend the salute. After all, the queen's face cannot be refuted.
"Let's draw lots." Queen Chen took a sip of tea and seemed to be looking forward to the performances of these young and young descendants. Unexpectedly, there was a harsh female voice beside her, "Purple."
Qin Yunuan calmly sips some fruit wine and looked at Yun Guifei's willow eyebrows raised into a charming arc, and then she was lazy. She leaned against the chair rail and added, "I hate purple the most."
The eyes of the whole audience condensed on the purple sachet hanging around Miss Shang's waist. Miss Shang also shrank her hands and stood in the middle of the banquet. Her forehead was full of sweat beads. She only felt that she was a monkey for ridicule, and she was embarrassed. The girl with the purple flower bag hanging underneath also quickly pulled off her flower bag in private and threw it into the curtain under the table.
"Why do you need to be my sister?" Empress Chen persuaded her, and her face was still elegant and calm. "It's just a flower bag."
"I don't like it." Noble Concubine Yun is resolute, and her face is as cold as frost. She has always been afraid to go against the queen, and this time, she is no exception.
Queen Chen paused. She knew very well that Concubine Yun didn't like purple. At past banquets, the emperor would always accommodate her, but now, it is in her flower festival banquet and in her territory. Concubine Yun has occupied the dragon pet for so many years and has been arrogant for too long. This time, she wants to let her know who is The first person in the harem of Daqi.
"Today, it's a festive day," Empress Chen said Yongran, "If you don't like it again, just put up with it." After saying that, she nodded to Miss Shang and said, "Miss Shang, draw lots."
Unexpectedly, the girl's feet were soft, and she directly ignored the Empress Chen, who supported her. She directly knelt down and kowtowed to the noble concubine Yun and said, "I really don't know that the noble concubine doesn't like purple. This time, it's all a misunderstanding. After the maid returned home, she didn't say purple, even blue, dark blue and everything next to purple. It's useless. Please forgive me."
Qin Yunuan looked down at Queen Chen's deformed face, and no wonder that Miss Shang should refute Empress Chen's face. If she remember correctly, this Miss Shang is the daughter of the general, and her father is the brother of Concubine Yun, a deputy general under the expedition General Menghua. For the sake of the survival and prosperity of the family, she also had to He kowtowed to the noble concubine Yun.
And Queen Chen, who was beside her, could no longer hide her dissatisfaction. She blushed on her face, but still held on to hold on a generous look, "Miss Shang, get up quickly. This is just a sachet. Presumably Princess Yun will not blame you. Why is this?"
For good, Miss Shang recognized her mistake very hard. In addition, Queen Chen looked aside, and Concubine Yun just waved her hand in disgust, only to let this Miss Shang not appear in front of her again.
Seeing that the trance Shang girl was helped out by two big and round-waisted sisters, Qin Yunuan was a little distracted. If it hadn't been for the fat mother's reminder when she entered the palace door, Qin Yunuan would not have known Yun's preferences. If she hadn't changed her mind and dared to argue with Shangguan Yi and make a relationship with Fang Ziying from it, she would not I will care more about changing the flower bag.
She was rebirth, like a stone falling from a pond, destined to roll up several circles of ripples and change the development of some events.
The departure of the Shang family did not add much to the banquet. The palace people came up with high-footed plates with snacks step by step. The fruit wine in the wine bottle was empty, and the maids behind them would also add them in time.
Queen Chen drew several name sticks in a row. Fortunately, those who drew were all outstanding and talented girls from their families. At the banquet, sometimes sang loudly, and sometimes the sound of the piano was clearer. The third prince, Sima Rui, appreciated it every time he smiled and sweetened the heart of her daughter. After the half-time banquet, she was happy and the jade pot was intertling. Wrong.
It's just that Qin Yun makeup looked a little anxious. She knew that in fact, these performers were all set internally. According to common sense, she must be one of them, but she didn't know why Empress Chen didn't read her name for a long time.
Qin Yun's careful thinking could not be more clear.
"Sister, don't worry." Qin Yunuan slowly put a golden silk roll for Qin Yun's makeup and said comfortingly, "Isn't this the best program always going to appear in the finale?"
Qin Yun makeup glanced at him and said, "Naturally." Finally, the corners of his mouth just smiled a little.
The conversation between the two seemed to attract the attention of Empress Chen. Qin Yunuan raised her head and saw Queen Chen holding a bamboo stick and smiling lightly towards this side. "Today's last flower stick is the third girl of the Qin family, Yu Nuan."
Qin Yun's makeup was shocked. Qin Yunuan was more shocked than her. In her previous life, she had never been selected.
Qin Yunuan secretly hid her puzzled expression, showing only a kind of flattered yearning, and looked at Queen Chen's more and deeper smile.
"Come on, draw a flower stick." Empress Chen waved to Qin Yunuan.
Qin Yunuan came forward obediently, ignoring Sima Rui's fresh eyes and the arrogant contempt of Concubine Yun, and casually pulled out a branch in the bamboo tube. She only thought that it was good to adapt to the situation.
"Well, this one is a coincidence," Queen Chen bent her eyebrows and smiled. "The title is blindfolded embroidery."
