It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 738 Performance
Concubine Xian picked up the teacup, and took a sip with her lowered eyes. She thought that as long as her niece could win over Prince An, when His Majesty was choosing a concubine for the next time, she could help talk and get the rest of her natal girls into the palace. Then one can be favored...
Thinking of this Concubine Xian, she couldn't help but laugh, mocking in her heart even if she is now the Empress Dowager, so what?The current enthroned emperor didn't crawl out of her stomach, he was just an adopted son...

The empress dowager doesn't know what Concubine Xian thinks, and she doesn't care if she knows it. Although the emperor didn't come out of her stomach, the emperor's mother and concubine grew up with her sisters, and she treats the emperor like her own son generally treated
At this time, the eunuch suddenly sang, "The empress is here!"

The ladies in the garden got up and saluted one after another upon hearing the words.

The empress combed her temples with flying clouds, wore a long skirt with a red phoenix waving towards the phoenix, and a pair of phoenix walkers inlaid with rubies on her head, and walked in from the entrance of the garden.

"The concubine has met the emperor, the empress dowager..."

The emperor nodded slightly, "Get up."

The Queen Mother also nodded, "Queen, get up quickly."

The queen was supported by the girl, and said to the rest of the kneeling ladies, "You all get up too."

"Thank you Queen..."

The queen mother didn't wait for the queen to say hello to Concubine Xian, she called her to sit between her and the emperor, "Queen, come quickly, sit here, and accompany Aijia and the emperor to see the talents of these girls."

The queen smiled and walked over. Concubine Xian was so angry that she was ignored, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her.

Su Wan looked at the empress in a daze, and didn't hear Yun Wanjiao talking to her. She didn't react until Yun Wanjiao pushed her, and quickly whispered, "Second princess sister, what's wrong?"

Yun Wanjiao leaned over and asked, "What are you staring at the emperor's wife for?"

Su Wan's face turned red when she heard this, and she said embarrassedly, "The empress is so beautiful..."

She, she has always thought that the elder sister is beautiful, and she has never seen anyone more beautiful than her elder sister outside, or she has never seen anyone as beautiful as her elder sister, but she saw it today, and the empress is as beautiful as her elder sister.

And they are beautiful in different styles. The empress is graceful and luxurious, but she is beautiful in a way that makes people feel distant. How do you say that?Yes, that's what I said, you can only watch it from a distance and not play with it!
The big sister is different, the big sister is more friendly and doesn't have such a sense of distance, but the same thing is that they are all so beautiful...she likes it so much...
Su Wan's voice was not low, the empress dowager and empress empress heard it, they were stunned for a moment, then the empress smiled, after all, which woman doesn't like being praised for her beauty?
Concubine Xian next to Su Wan heard the words and gave a cold "hum", and muttered something like "I really know how to flatter".

The emperor looked at the smiling empress strangely, and asked sideways, "What's wrong with the empress?"

The queen covered her mouth with a veil and said in a low voice, "Which lady next to sister Wanjiao is very interesting. She was dumbfounded by me, and when asked by Wanjiao, she said I was beautiful..."

Although the empress looks fragile, she is not fragile at all as a general, and her senses are very sensitive. When she stepped into the garden, she felt Su Wan's gaze, and she could also feel Su Wan's gaze. No malice, but full of envy and joy...
Coupled with Su Wan's straightforward words, she had a very good first impression of her.

The emperor was also taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled, "It's very interesting..."

Wang An, who had been secretly watching Su Wan, heard the conversation between the emperor and the queen, and couldn't help but smile, saying that she was indeed an interesting girl.

At this time, Concubine Xian couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "Empress Dowager, the empresses are here too, why don't we start now?"

The queen mother had no objection, "Then let's start..."

The female officer sang loudly, "Banquet..."

We couldn't let the girls perform at the beginning. It happened to be lunch time, and we planned to let everyone have something to eat before watching the show.

Si laughed, and the usual shows in the palace came on stage one after another. There were jugglers specially recruited from outside the palace this month. It was thrilling to watch, but also very funny. The mood of the ladies present was fluctuating. , there were a few cheerful people who either exclaimed or laughed heartily, among them Su Wan's voice was the loudest.

The queen mother and the others looked at the happy Su Wan, and they were also in a particularly good mood.

After the juggling, there was a beautiful dancer again. She flung her long sleeves and danced gracefully. Su Wan's eyes almost grew on the dancer.

The fruit wine paired with delicacies, coupled with the wonderful program, made the ladies who were a bit reserved at the scene let go a lot, and began to whisper a few words.

However, there were also some girls who just drank some water and waited nervously for the performance.

Su Wan didn't feel anything, she had already finished her meal, and she was eating the grapes that were tributed by the palace at this time, well, although it was not as delicious as her own, it was still pretty good.

She doesn't have any feelings about performances. If she is allowed to perform, she will play the piano or arrange flowers. If she is not allowed to perform, she will just sit and watch the performance.

As soon as Su Wan finished eating the fruits on the table, she saw Si Le's voice stopped. She looked up and saw that the dancers had all retreated. When she was wondering, she listened to what the Empress Dowager said.

"Which one of you will start first?"

Concubine Xian looked at her niece Zheng Shanshan when she heard the words, and flirted with her.

Zheng Shanshan calmed down her nervousness, stood up calmly, and said to the three most expensive people sitting above, "I am not talented, I would like to present a song for Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager. "

Soon, a court lady brought up the zither she had brought into the palace.

Zheng Shanshan sat down gracefully, and flicked her hands on the strings lightly, like a clear spring on a snow mountain, flowing slowly, cool and pleasant, with a long aftertaste.

Even the empress dowager who didn't like Concubine Xian had to admit that once Zheng Shanshan came out with this song, I'm afraid the ladies present couldn't surpass it.

At the end of the song, Zheng Shanshan got up slowly and received applause from the Empress Dowager, and many ladies also applauded after seeing this.

As for the ladies who were also planning to play the piano, they were a little downcast, and they all gave up the idea of ​​showing their skills in a tacit understanding. If their skills are not as good as others, if they also play the piano, they are humiliating themselves, so it is better not to play.

Although Zheng Shanshan was happy about the empress's applause, she hoped for Wang An's praise. When she looked up, she found that Wang An was staring blankly. Look at Su Wan, at this time Su Wan didn't applaud her, she was talking to the second princess for some reason, her trembling smile was very eye-catching.
