The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 491
The banquet began, and the singers and dancers of the Chu Pavilion began to perform songs and dances.

Qin Wan looked at the banquet venue from behind the stage, and she was very surprised that the person in the main seat was the woman just now.Could it be that the leader of the Shitang Department is a girl?

With this question in mind, Qin Wan went to ask Liu Yan who hadn't played yet.

"Today, the leader of the Shitang tribe did not come, but his youngest daughter, Shi Siniang, who came." Liu Yan introduced, "It is said that because the leader is unwell, he sent Siniang to meet these tribal leaders. "

"The big boss had a meeting, but he couldn't come by himself, so he even sent his youngest daughter." Qin Wan smiled.

Liu Yan explained: "Ma'am, don't underestimate her. This fourth lady is an excellent military commander, excellent in strategy, outstanding in faith, and full of virtues. She helped the chief to subdue all the tribes in South Vietnam."

"So powerful?!" Qin Wan was a little surprised.

Liu Yan nodded solemnly: "Okay, it's time for me to play. If the empress wants to perform, she can go on stage after I finish the performance." After speaking, Liu Yan entered the banquet hall with her Qin Qin in her arms.

Qin Wan sighed, looked around, and borrowed an ordinary piano from a singer.

She held the piano and waited for Liu Yan to finish her performance.

Liu Yan played a happy song, which cheered up everyone at the banquet, but Qin Wan looked over and saw that Shi Siniang, who was sitting in the main seat, was obviously absent-minded.

After Liu Yan left the stage, Qin Wan took a deep breath and walked to the center of the banquet hall with Qin in his arms.

But as soon as she put the qin on the table, a tribal leader next to her drank and complained, "I'm playing the qin again, so I can't change to something new."

Several people beside him also echoed at the same time.

Qin Wan didn't pay attention to what the others said, but focused on Shi Siniang.Apparently, Shi Siniang didn't expect Qin Wan to be on stage. She was a little surprised, but the look of inquiry was still very strong in her expression.

Shi Siniang asked Qin Wan, "What's your name?"

Qin Wan replied, "My name is Xiao Liu."

Shi Siniang asked again: "Where are you from?"

Qin Wan thought for a moment, then replied, "Peijun, Yingcheng."

"Yingcheng?!" Shi Siniang stood up directly from her seat, her behavior surprised the leaders of the surrounding tribes.

"Si Niang, this Chu Guan Huakui is a pretty beauty, you have found a match and want to take it back to your house?" The man from the tribe next to him started to tease after drinking too much.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the seat also booed and laughed.

Shi Siniang glared at the others, and said loudly: "So what if I just want to bring her back to the house?"

"Haha, I just said that Siniang is a man at heart." The man said loudly without any restraint.The others laughed too.

Shi Siniang walked up to Qin Wan solemnly: "Don't pay attention to them, I'm too drunk. Would you like to go back home with me? I will pay more for your travel expenses."

Qin Wan raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Okay."

"Let's go." Shi Siniang took Qin Wan's hand and said to the people around her, "Eat and drink well, I'm going to bring the beauty back home."

At this time, a tribal leader raised his hand to block Shi Siniang's path, and said angrily, "Siniang, what are you messing around with? You are a girl who brought the singer of the Chu Pavilion back to the house. How decent is it?"

Shi Siniang gave the man a blank look: "What's none of your business?" After finishing speaking, she pushed the man's hand away, pulled Qin Wan and walked out.

Qin Wan looked back at the man, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction, his hands were clenched into fists, and he looked at them angrily.

Before Qin Wan had time to think about it, Shi Siniang had already dragged her to the outside of the Fragrant Torreya Pavilion, and at this time, his subordinates had already brought Shi Siniang's horses.

Shi Siniang asked Qin Wan, "Can you mount the horse yourself?"

Qin Wan nodded, stood on the horse stool, stepped on the stirrups, turned over and sat on the horse's back.Shi Siniang got on the horse right behind her, and sat firmly behind Qin Wan. She grabbed the rein with both hands neatly, pinched the horse's belly with her legs, and the horse started to run.

After crossing half of Gaozhou City, Shi Siniang stopped her horse in front of the largest mansion in the city.

She got off the horse first, and then stretched out her hand to pick Qin Wan off.

Qin Wan cooperatively held her hand and helped her off the horse.

"This is my home. Entering through this door is my yard." Shi Siniang didn't say much, and a little nervousness could be heard in her voice.

Seeing that Shi Siniang was being very polite to her, Qin Wan was puzzled, but felt that there was nothing to hesitate, so she strode across the threshold.

It was already night, and the lights were lit in the courtyard. Seeing the flowers and plants in full bloom, Qin Wan felt that although Shi Siniang had a boyish appearance, she should be an ordinary girl in her heart.

Shi Siniang opened the door at this time and let out the door: "Come in."

Qin Wan walked into Shi Siniang's room with her skirt in hand.

When she entered the room and looked up, she froze in place.In Shi Siniang's room, there is a painting hanging in the most conspicuous place, and the person in the painting is very familiar to her, and it is herself.

At this time, Shi Siniang stood beside Qin Wan with a blushing face and said: "I brought you back, I just wanted to pull you to compare with this painting, my God, how could you compare with the noble concubine Xiang in this painting?" Empress looks like this?!"

Qin Wan looked at Shi Siniang suspiciously, not knowing how to answer her question.

Shi Siniang was straightforward, she scratched her head and continued: "I was shocked when I saw you on the street outside the Chu Pavilion today, and thought I was wrong. But just now I saw you again in the Fragrant Torreya Pavilion. Saying that you are from Peijun is really too similar!"

"Why did you hang this painting here?" Qin Wan asked feeling a little embarrassed.

Shi Siniang said: "That's because I've heard the legend of Concubine Xiang since I was a child, and I aspired to imagine a woman who can make a big career like her."

Qin Wan smiled wryly. She never thought that there would be fans in the Lingnan area more than 3000 miles away.

"Then how did you get this painting?" Qin Wan asked curiously.

Shi Siniang said: "This is because I went to Bashu so hard to find a painter named Qi Song who painted the portrait of the concubine Xianggui. For this painting, I put all my savings into it and begged for a long time. He drew the picture for me from memory."

Qi Song...

Qin Wan thought of the painter.

It was also because of his paintings that Ning Yi went directly to Ba to find her.

Shi Siniang couldn't control her excitement and said, "Seeing you today is like seeing a living concubine Xiang jump out of the painting and appear in front of me!"

Qin Wan pointed to the painting and asked, "Then do you know her?"

Shi Siniang: "Of course, I have heard all her stories, and I can recite them all back and forth. Especially when she cooperated with Emperor Ning to attack Mount Buting. Oh my God, the two of them even killed the Demon Emperor together. It's amazing how this is done!"

"Hehe, is it..."

At this time, Shi Siniang also showed Qin Wan a pile of collectibles on the bookshelf: "Look, I still have the authentic handwriting of Concubine Xiang practicing calligraphy that I bought back with great difficulty."

Qin Wan was a little startled when he looked at the scrolls of framed cursive paper.She thought that all the papers that had been practiced were thrown away by the inner officials and maids, who would have thought that they would appear here, it is really unimaginable.

Shi Siniang: "There is another one for you to see. This is the score of the song "A Lonely Courage Feeds the Dog" that I bought from someone in Liyang City and sang in Liyang by Concubine Xiang."

"You have all of these! It's amazing." Qin Wan was deeply impressed.

Shi Siniang asked Qin Wan: "Why don't I help you redeem your body? How about you staying with me from now on?"

Qin Wan was stunned, and replied, "Redemption? Why?"

"It's because you look so similar to Concubine Xiang," Shi Siniang said excitedly, "Since I can't see Concubine Xiang in person, I will be very happy to see you every day. You don't have to do any work in my house , as long as you are free. Even if I know you can't be her, but I can talk to you and watch you take a few steps, I feel happy enough. "

"Are you trying to keep me?" Qin Wan raised his eyebrows.

"Baoyang, what do you mean?" Shi Siniang didn't understand.

Qin Wan explained: "It means that food and housing are included to support you."

"That's right, food and lodging are included, and you don't have to work." Shi Siniang pulled Qin Wan to look left and right, "Oh, how can you be so close to the concubine Xianggui in this painting? Since you are from Peijun Firefly can, then are you sure you are not a relative of Concubine Xiang?"

Qin Wan shook her head: "I'm not."

"Ah..." Shi Siniang said despondently, "It's a pity, they look so similar."

Qin Wan looked at Shi Siniang with a smile: "Because I am Qin Wan himself, as if I were fake."
