Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 93
The more the eldest princess looked, the more complicated her mood became.

Such a good seedling, I really don't want to be buried in the back house in vain.

But if you cultivate her, you will inevitably steal Sister Yan's limelight...

Forget it, everyone has their own fate, look at her own creation.

The eldest princess's eyes flashed, and her face returned to a smile: "I'm in a hurry, and I haven't prepared any gifts for you." After speaking, she took off a red gold bracelet from her hand, "Sister Wei, this bracelet I'll send it to you."

Zhao Xi was slightly busy and bowed his knees for a blessing, took it with both hands respectfully, just as he was about to wrap it in a handkerchief, the eldest princess smiled and raised her hand: "A good thing needs to be worn on the body, what does it look like to put it away. "

As he spoke, he helped her put it on her wrist.

Zhao Xiwei bowed his head and thanked him, and the eldest princess smiled and asked a few words about the birthdays being equal, and Zhao Xiwei answered them respectfully.

The smile in the eldest princess' eyes became more and more obvious, and she couldn't help but praised a few more words.

The queen mother's eyes swept over coldly.

The eldest princess smiled all over her face, as if she didn't know anything about the empress dowager's dissatisfaction: "This child is good-looking and well-behaved, which is very suitable for my eyes."

The queen mother also smiled.

For this daughter, the queen mother has always been obedient, and she shouldn't make her unhappy for a little girl.

At this time, the maid stepped forward and reminded: "The Empress Dowager, it's time for the luncheon."

The queen mother nodded: "Then let's start the banquet and call them all in."

When the servant received the order, he bowed and retreated to the outside of the hall, and with a long voice he read the list of the banquet, and summoned all the courtiers and daughters to enter.

Mrs. Zhao was the first to come in, supported by Xu Yunjiao, followed by the second and third ladies, followed by sisters Zhao Chengyan and Zhao Chengyu.

Then Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yunqian, Mrs. Cui and Cui Yurong, Mrs. He and He Manzhi, as well as some ladies who Zhao Xiwei did not know, filed in in order of grade.

Everyone first saluted the Queen Mother, then said hello to the eldest princess, and politely socialized with each other a few times. After a set of etiquette was completed, almost half an hour passed.

At this time, the palace maid and the servants came forward to set up seats and drinks. After everyone was finished, they just sat down to drink tea.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly to the servant next to her, who immediately stretched her voice and sang, "The flower feast officially begins—"

The palace banquet is not like an ordinary banquet. The empress dowager who is in charge of the government is sitting on it, and the concubines and concubines of the palace are sitting on the left and right. Everyone's mind is not on eating, but more on their own appearance and behavior. What's wrong, will it leave people with something to say.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to want such a tense atmosphere, so she smiled and said, "Call the musicians from Yichun Court. Didn't a new national player come a few days ago? Please come and play a song."

The eldest princess was a little curious: "National player? Was it invited from Lefang?"

The empress dowager said with a smile: "As you guessed, it is the pianist invited from Miaoyinfang."

Miaoyinfang?
Isn't that the place where Linglong is located?
And Linglong is the girl who was bullied by Wang Fan...

Zhao Xiwei's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and then with a "click", someone's chopsticks fell to the ground.

Zhao Xi looked over in surprise, but it was the third lady.

The third lady is also entering the palace for the first time, so she must be too nervous.

Before Zhao Xiwei could think about it, more than ten women with musical instruments had already entered the hall.

They all wore the same hair bun and the same makeup, or held the lute, or the qin, or pinched Xiao. Waiting for the Queen Mother's order.

The empress dowager likes singing and dancing. Not to mention that there are a group of musicians in the palace, and sometimes she invites women from outside the music studio to come to the palace to teach their skills. She is also very kind to these musicians, and asks with a smile: "Who are you, Mrs. Zhanmei? ?"

There was a woman holding a qin, walking on her knees and taking a step forward: "Miaoyinfang Wei Zhanmei, I will pay tribute to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

"Get up." The queen mother's voice was rare and soft, "Cut off the love silk "Chang'an Snow", I can't ask for a thousand dollars, is it you who said it?"

Wei Zhanmei knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "The queen mother is so wrong, Zhanmei is ashamed to be worthy of it."

The concubines and concubines did not dabble in music theory, and naturally they did not feel anything unusual about this violinist.

However, Concubine Xian was very interested: "If you can't ask for a thousand pieces of gold, that's really great. Are all the musicians in your Miaoyinfang that great?"

Wei Zhanmei replied, "It's all just rumors. The slave is just earning a living, not so magical."

The empress dowager swept the room casually, and then said with a smile: "The Aijia heard that there is a lady in Zhao's house who is also a zither."

Everyone's eyes turned to the old lady's table in unison.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's my daughter-in-law from the third room. I have nothing to do on weekdays, just play the piano to pass the time, and I can't get on the table."

The third lady looked quite nervous. When she saw the old lady answering for her, she came back to her senses and said respectfully: "The queen mother is too famous, and the concubine doesn't know much about music theory.

"Oh, is that so?" The Queen Mother narrowed her phoenix eyes.

The third lady respectfully said: "In front of the national champion, the concubine does not dare to be presumptuous."

The queen mother's eyes flashed, she turned to Wei Zhanmei, and said, "Listen, even she said that you are a national player, so it shows that you are a real national player."

Wei Zhanmei lowered his head, as if he only had the qin in front of him in his eyes.

The Empress Dowager laughed, like a gentle breeze in Sanyuetian: "Play a song that you are best at, and let the Aijia listen to it. If it's good, there will be a lot of rewards."

I don't know why, this smile in Zhao Xiwei's eyes, but inexplicably carried a cold murderous aura, which made her shiver slightly.

She thought the Queen Mother's words were very strange, but she couldn't say how strange it was.

Over there, Concubine Xian's voice sounded indifferently: "Why should Mrs. Zhao be too modest, the third master of the Zhao family went to Xiliang a few years ago, didn't you play a song at Zhuquemen to practice it for the soldiers? Although this palace does not I understand the sound of the piano, but I can also hear good or bad."

As soon as the words woke everyone up, some concubines responded and said, "Yes, I have also seen the style of the third lady."

All the female relatives at the table showed shocked expressions: No?Didn't they all say that the third lady of the Zhao family was a mediocre person?
How can there be such a good piano skill!

The one who was most shocked was Zhao Xiwei.

Wang Fan, Linglong, Mama Liu, Mrs. Three, these four names kept spinning in her mind. They were clearly irrelevant, but they always seemed to be inextricably linked.

But she racked her brains and couldn't think of what kind of relationship there was.

The attention of the entire hall was turned to the third lady.

And the three ladies, who have always been gentle and demure, seem to be a little lost at this moment.
