Alluring City

"Yes, this is a common practice. Women who have always participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet have to perform. Fifth Sister only needs to pick up the performances that she is good at." Gu Yunyao explained.

This is actually an opportunity for the princes to learn about their talents. Although everyone knows it well, no one will point it out.

"Is it something I'm good at?" Gu Xiaowu's mouth twitched slightly, and he curled his lips: "Does murder count?"

She is useless for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but when it comes to killing people, no one can compare to her.If killing is an art, then she has already learned it to the level of proficiency.

Gu Yunyao was dumbfounded, what kind of talent is this?

"Fifth sister, this can't be used as a joke." Gu Yunyao really has nothing to do with the fact that her younger sister always likes to make jokes regardless of the occasion. Like, fifth sister, you only need to choose one performance that you are good at."

Gu Yunyao doesn't have any expectations for Gu Xiaowu. She doesn't ask her to be selected now, but just hopes that she won't become the bottom of the list and embarrass the Gu family.

For Gu Yunyao's worries, Gu Xiaowu couldn't help curling his lips. Unfortunately, she doesn't know what she said, she doesn't know how to compose poems, can she recite them?

Looking at the women performing on stage one by one, Gu Xiaowu suddenly had the feeling that he was in Goulan right now. The women performing now are all geisha from Hualou, while the princes and courtiers present are all prostitutes.

However, these ladies from all over the world are really good at playing and singing, and they are on a par with the girls in Tianxianglou.

I don't know if the Queen deliberately arranged for the two members of the Gu family to appear as the finale of the banquet. The order of performances starts from the end of the seats. In this way, she, Gu Xiaowu, will either be the last or the last the third.

Glancing at the position of the woman who is currently performing, he found that there is still a long distance from his own position. Gu Xiaowu felt relieved. From this point of view, there is still a while before she is here!

After eating and drinking, the most pleasant thing is to take a nap.

And now, Gu Xiaowu is also planning in this way, she is confident that she can not be noticed by others, and now their eyes are almost all on the stands, no one will pay attention to her small movements .

Gu Xiaowu was indeed very bold. Although she put her hand on her forehead and looked serious about watching the performance, she was actually sleeping. Even Gu Yunyao who was beside her never noticed that she, the fifth younger sister, was sleeping.

When it was Gu Yunshu's turn to perform, Gu Xiaowu woke up, because they were relatively close, and when Gu Yunshu went up, Gu Xiaowu was awakened by the slight noise.

Gu Xiaowu didn't watch the performances of those people seriously before, but when Gu Yunshu went up, Gu Xiaowu restrained his mind and looked at her seriously.

She was really curious, what was this Miss Gu Jiasan, who had a worse temper than her, going to perform? !

However, according to this order, she, Gu Xiaowu, would probably be the last to be on the stage of punishment, right?

Although she doesn't like Gu Yunshu, she has to admit that Gu Yunshu can play the piano well, even on par with the courtesans in Tianxianglou!

The first time Gu Yunshu met Dugu Xun was when she was three years old. She was three years old that year, and Dugu Xun was six years old. When she first saw her, she was astonished and vowed to become his concubine.So from then on, she practiced piano skills hard, hoping to impress him with her piano sound.

And now, she finally has this opportunity, she can finally play the piano for him!

But, why didn't he even look at her, but instead looked at her weedy sister from time to time?

Gu Yunshu felt very blocked. If she was at home, her temper might have flared up.

No matter how upset she was, Gu Yunshu was still playing seriously.

Although she is indeed a little impulsive at ordinary times, she is not a fool, and she must not make mistakes at this time.

Although he wasn't looking at himself, the emperor and queen were watching, so she must not make any mistakes.

In fact, Gu Yunshu's performance was indeed quite successful, except for the momentary distraction when Dugu Xun's attention was on Gu Xiaowu, her playing was almost perfect.

Gu Yunyao chose to dance.

It was a very ordinary skirt, but when worn on Gu Yunyao's body, it felt a little more agile and elegant.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the Gu family had opinions, maybe Gu Xiaowu would really like Gu Yunyao.

Gu Yunyao's dancing posture was indescribably beautiful, at least it attracted the attention of most of the people present, and almost all the rich ladies were watching with admiration and jealousy.

At the end of the song, the queen applauded first.

Gu Yunyao's performance was more successful than Gu Yunshu's.

After thanking Gu Yunyao, she took small steps and walked back to her seat slowly. When she sat down, she secretly glanced at Dugu Chen who was sitting in the first place from the corner of her eye, but was disappointed to find that the other party was not looking at him, and he His expression seemed to have never changed.

Although he always had a warm smile, he couldn't see any appreciation in his eyes at all.

That's right, I've been a high-ranking prince since I was a child, what kind of dance haven't I seen before?

Gu Yunyao smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling a little throbbing pain in her heart.

Gu Xiaowu didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky to be ranked behind Gu Yunyao.

She can't play the piano or dance, the only one who can...

"This is the Fifth Miss of the Gu family, right?" Perhaps because she was amazed by Gu Yunyao's dance, the queen still had a slight smile on her brows, and she was looking forward to Gu Xiaowu's performance.

Of the two young ladies from the Gu family, one is very good at playing the piano, and the other is amazing at dancing. I don't know what special skills this Miss Fifth, who was just brought back home a few days ago, is good at?

"Yes, Min Daughter Gu Xiao... Min Daughter Gu Qingcheng." The corners of Gu Xiaowu's mouth twitched slightly, she really felt ashamed to say this name.

Thinking about it this way, I lowered my head even lower.

I don't know what's wrong with the empress to ask such gossip at this time, but it's impossible for her to add something like "return to empress" when she replied.

However, fortunately, she didn't have to kneel down, otherwise she would really be unhappy.

Originally, Duguyi had no interest in this Miss Gu family, but suddenly heard that the other party's name was Gu Qingcheng, so she couldn't help but start calling her in large numbers.

But, why did the more he looked at it, the more familiar the figure of Miss Gu's Fifth Miss was?

Hearing Gu Xiaowu's words, Duguxun couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth.If he heard correctly, this girl was going to say her name was Gu Xiaowu just now, right?It seems that she really doesn't just hate the name Gu Qingcheng!

Dugu Chen's eyes lightly skipped over Gu Xiaowu who was standing in the hall, and the corners of his lips rose a little more than before.

It turned out that the name of the little bean sprouts was Qingcheng!It's really... very out of tune!It's obviously bean sprouts, but it's called Qingcheng.

"Your third sister chooses to play, and your fourth sister chooses to dance, what about you?" The queen asked with great interest. She was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, but she became interested in radish and cabbage instead!

Without waiting for Gu Xiaowu to answer, Concubine De who was sitting below took the conversation: "Third Miss and Fourth Miss have amazing piano skills, and the other is unparalleled in dancing. Presumably Fifth Miss is also very good, right? How about Fifth Miss? Let's sing a song."

Dugu Xun's eyes flickered slightly, Concubine De originally came from a wealthy businessman's family, and among the daughters present today was her natal family, presumably it was the performance of the two young ladies from the Gu family that suppressed Concubine De's natal family's limelight , That's why she used Gu Xiaowu to vent her anger, right? !

He looked at Gu Xiaowu worriedly, but saw a contemptuous smile on his face.

That's right, how could that Gu Xiaowu who was fearless could not even beat a little Defei!

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Singing is something that geishas do. Qingcheng has never learned it before. I only know..." Gu Xiaowu cast a provocative look at Concubine De, and the corner of his eye quickly flickered The guard behind Concubine De continued, "I wonder if you are interested in watching Qingcheng perform a sword dance?"

Although she didn't care about the results of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but because she had to participate, she had a general understanding of the relationships between various parties early on, so she naturally knew about Concubine De's family members who were present today.

If she didn't guess wrong, the only one who sang the song today is De Fei's natal family!

The reason why Concubine De asked her to sing was probably to make her a foil for that woman.

It's just that she is so naive. Although that girl's singing is indeed very good, it's still not unmatched by anyone!

Hearing Gu Xiaowu's words, Concubine De's face immediately changed.This ignorant girl actually said that singing is something only geisha would do. Isn't this obviously calling Yan'er a lowly geisha?But a little businesswoman dared to challenge Concubine De, one of her majestic four concubines!She wanted to know who gave her the courage!

"Okay, let's perform the sword dance! I don't know if Miss Gu needs someone to prepare a sword for you?" The emperor asked happily.

He was used to watching the singing and dancing, but the sword dance was quite new, so he was very curious about the sword skills of the fifth young miss of the Gu family who could only be regarded as handsome.

"No need." Gu Xiaowusu waved his hand, and then suddenly stretched out his hand in the direction of Concubine De, the sword at the waist of the guard behind Concubine De was suddenly sucked by her.

The faces of the people present suddenly changed. She was able to absorb the opponent's saber from such a long distance. How deep is the internal strength required to do this?

Almost everyone's interest was aroused, this Fifth Miss of the Gu family showed such a trick when she came here, she really is not a person by appearance!
