The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 268
It turned out that this was her grandmother.
Cui Hengyue had mixed feelings in her heart, she got up and greeted Mrs. Wang as a junior, and then sat down silently.

This move of hers made Mrs. Wang even more excited.

"Blood is thicker than water, Ah Ning, did you see it? She greeted me, and she recognizes me." Mrs. Wang said incoherently while grabbing Jin Niangzi's hand.

Jin Niangzi knelt down, patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her: "Old lady, your body should not be agitated, please take your time first, and don't get agitated.

"Since Yueyue has returned to the mansion, there will be opportunities in the future, and the future will be long."

Under the consolation of Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Wang's excited heart gradually calmed down: "Yes, the future will be long, and the future will be long."

At this time, Mrs. Wang leaned over and reminded Mrs. Wang in a low voice: "Mother, you promised me before you came that you would never act rashly.

"If something happens, I won't follow you next time."

If it wasn't for the old madam who swears to her with tears in her eyes, she just entered the palace to see her granddaughter and would not make any further moves, she would never soften her heart and bring the old madam into the palace.

Fortunately, my husband didn't blame her and said that she was filial, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the chief governor Wang was not in the capital, otherwise she would have to be scolded to death.

Thinking of the oath she made, Mrs. Wang's heart became more peaceful. She let go of Mrs. Jin's hand, and held Mrs. Wang's hand instead:
"Son, you have managed Zhongfu for so many years, I have seen all the hardships in it, and I have also remembered your care for the Wang family.

"I'm very grateful for this incident. Don't worry, I will never make things difficult for you."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Mother is serious, this is what I should do."

After saying that, she picked up the clean chopsticks and served Mrs. Wang some dishes.

The singing and dancing in the hall was still the same, all the ministers pushed cups to help, talking and laughing happily, very happy.

Suddenly, Chen Zhan said: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the singing and dancing in the palace is always uninspiring, why don't you ask those young ladies and gentlemen below to perform their talents to cheer up the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Good idea." The emperor clapped his hands excitedly.

Fuquan, the head servant, walked up to the stage and shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty has an order, all the singing and dancing should be withdrawn."

The music stopped abruptly, and the dancer also stopped her movements, bowed silently and exited the hall.

The emperor said loudly: "I heard that the young masters and young ladies in various prefectures in Beijing are full of talents. I wonder if I can open my eyes today?"

"Your Majesty has flattered you."

Cui Quan continued: "Your Majesty is the proud son of heaven, and the honor of the son of heaven, how can you, my little one, be presumptuous in front of you.

"However, after learning some talents, if they can make His Majesty smile, it will be their blessing."

Seeing that Cui Quan was the first to answer the conversation, Chen Zhan's mouth twitched into a meaningful smile: "I heard that the eldest granddaughter of Lord Jingguo has returned to the mansion recently, why don't we let her come and give a demonstration to all the ladies, how?"

Cui Quan's expression froze.

At this time, Taiwei Gao Cong teased with a smile: "Duke Yasukuni, since your eldest granddaughter returned to the mansion, there has been a lot of news about her in Beijing.

"I don't know where those news came from. It sounds outrageous. Why don't you take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival today and let your eldest granddaughter come out to show the big guys?"

Cui Hengyue lowered her head, silently looking at her skirt.

She thought that Mrs. Cui would announce her identity, but she didn't expect that it was the regent who mentioned her first.

"Yuan Niang—"

Cui Quan's voice came from next to his ear, and Cui Hengyue raised his head to look over.

"Stand up." Cui Quan ordered.

Cui Hengyue stood up slowly without hesitation.

The hall was instantly quiet.

Cui Quanlang said: "This is my eldest granddaughter——Cui Hengyue, she has been living with her mother in Zhuangzi since she was born in poor health.

"After her mother passed away, her body became weaker, and the doctor said she had to stay in bed, otherwise her life would be lost.

"That's why I didn't take her back home, but sent someone to take care of her in Zhuangzi.

"Not long ago, I saw that she was in much better health, so I sent someone to take her back home."

Hearing these remarks, Cui Hengyue only found it extremely ironic, but for revenge, she could only keep silent.

Cui Quan showed kind eyes: "Yuan Niang, this is your first time entering the palace, go to pay your respects to His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

Cui Hengyue walked out slowly, came to the center of the hall, knelt down in front of the emperor, and made a big salute: "Cui Shi Yuan Niang has seen His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

After getting up, he saluted Chen Zhan again: "I have met the regent."

He still didn't forget to salute him, and finally his support was not in vain, Chen Zhan showed a satisfied look.

The emperor stared at Cui Hengyue, and said in surprise: "It looks exactly like the third uncle, and he is so stunning."

"Cough-cough-"

Seeing that the emperor's words were inappropriate, the queen mother pretended to cough and interrupted him.

Then he said majestically to Cui Hengyue: "Cui Hanlin is well-educated, and he is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since you look so similar to him, you must be as talented as Cui Hanlin, unparalleled in the world.

"Since that's the case, let's start with you, take out your most proud talent, perform it, and add to the fun of His Majesty."

Cui Hengyue's heart sank: Is this using her as a dancer?

"Qi Empress Dowager, I have been weak since I was a child, I have never learned any piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, and I have no talent.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'd better not disturb your interest."

How dare you refuse her?
The Empress Dowager's face darkened, and she winked at the bottom.

Gao Cong immediately said: "Hey, little lady, don't be modest, you are the eldest daughter of the Cui family, how can you know nothing?

"Even if you are in poor health, the Cui family, as the first family, will definitely invite famous teachers to teach you.

"How about this, since you are not in good health, just write the adverb and show it to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

write?

Qionghua said that her handwriting was like a ghost drawing, and she couldn't recognize it. If she wrote it, she might be laughed at by them.

So, Cui Hengyue raised her chin and said confidently: "I have never learned calligraphy, so I dare not make a fool of myself."

"What about painting?" Gao Cong asked.

"will not."

"What about chess?"

"will not."

"What about piano art?"

"Won't."

Facing Gao Cong's question, Cui Hengyue only answered him with two words: "No."

Cui Quan and Mrs. Cui's faces were ashen, and they wanted to say something to make up for it, but found that they knew nothing about Cui Hengyue, and their mood was even worse.

And the discussion below started:
"It turns out that I have the stunning appearance of Mr. Cui, but I have not inherited Mr. Cui's knowledge and talents. It's a pity."

"What's the pity? It's good to be able to recover from illness. What are you doing like those stupid people?"

"After all, she is a daughter of an aristocratic family, so how could she not know anything? I see, this is the first time she has entered the palace, and seeing so many big shots, she is too scared to perform."

"It makes sense."

The faces of the people in Cui's residence were not good-looking, and seeing Cui Hengyue quietly retreating to their positions, they suddenly felt ashamed and lowered their heads silently.

Cui Erniang couldn't help but said to Cui Hengyue: "Eldest sister, how can you say that? It's too embarrassing for our Cui family."

"Then what should I say? I really don't know those things." Cui Hengyue looked innocent.

Cui Erniang became anxious immediately: "It's fine if you don't know those things, but you can't say that you don't know anything, you can just perform a little bit."

Cui Hengyue's eyeballs rolled for a moment: "Perform casually? Will you accompany me?"

"accompany!"

However, Cui Erniang regretted it as soon as she said it.
