Reborn eldest daughter

Although he didn't know what Zhao Keren was going to perform, Zhao Keran could tell that Zhao Keran was very confident.Looking at Zhao Keren's confident look, Zhao Keran was very curious about Ye Shi. Now Zhao Keren is fully focused on the prince, so he must be trying to do something to attract the prince's attention. of.

Know what to do.Zhao Keran knew a little about Zhao Keren's abilities.In terms of piano skills, she might never be able to compare to Qin Yimiao, and in terms of dancing skills, she might never be able to compare to Lin Xiuxiu's sword dance just now. So, what exactly does she want to do?If she wants to win, I am afraid there is only one way, and that is to win by surprise.

But it's okay, after Qin Yimiao, it didn't take long to be Zhao Keren.And Zhao Keren's performance was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. What she performed turned out to be painting skills.However, I really have to say that Zhao Keren is still very smart, she knows where her strengths lie.In fact, Zhao Keran knew very well in his heart that Zhao Keren's painting skills are indeed very outstanding, otherwise she would not have fooled so many people with her painting "Spring Songs Stepping on the Snow".

Zhao Keren first asked someone to put a table on the field, and a blank sheet of paper was already placed on it.As soon as Zhao Keren came on stage, he ignored the others and started painting directly.Zhao Keren picked up a pen, dipped it in cinnabar to paint petals, dipped it in cream to make it beautiful, dipped it in rouge to make it red lips, dipped it in rouge to make it bright and white, and dipped it in white jade face; Dip in red gold for bracelet wrists; dip in tooth color for girdles, dip in black for hair colour, dip in lotus root for necklaces, dip in emeralds for jade hairpins, dip in jade for legs, dip in amber for golden lotuses, and a smile appears on the corner of the lips, Like a river of spring water that has just melted ice and snow.

Soon, Zhao Keren's words were completed.Wait for the eunuch to pick it up for everyone to see.Everyone was startled immediately, it turned out that Zhao Keren's painting turned out to be the empress.Seeing the lifelike empress in the portrait, everyone was very surprised.

"Hahaha, it seems that Miss Zhao Jiaer's painting skills are really superb!" Situ Lingzhi praised, "Looking at the people in the painting, it's so lifelike, it's really rare! Queen, tell me, don't you? "

Regarding Situ Lingzhi's praise, the queen didn't want to agree with it, but she didn't dare to disrespect Situ Lingzhi, so she forced a smile and said, "Yes! I didn't expect that Miss Zhao Er's painting skills are really good. Your concubines are very impressive!"

After hearing the queen's praise, Zhao Keren was very happy. She thought that her efforts had finally been rewarded.She knew that the queen didn't like her, so the painting she drew today was to please the queen.She knew that she might not be the most outstanding in terms of piano skills or dancing skills, so she chose painting skills in order to highlight her own characteristics and please the queen. It really kills two birds with one stone. .

Seeing Zhao Keren's happy expression, Zhao Keran felt very funny in his heart.It seems that Zhao Keren's self-esteem is really good. The empress's strong smile, she can even see it as a compliment to herself, it is really amazing.

However, no matter what, Zhao Keran was actually a little disappointed in Zhao Keren's performance.She originally thought that Zhao Keren would have some secret weapon, but she didn't expect it to be like this.It seems that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

However, Zhao Song was in a completely different mood off the court. After seeing Zhao Keren's performance, he was very proud, especially for his daughter who had been honoring him. He won the appreciation of the emperor and the love of the empress.It seems that he is still very cute, and he knows how to please the empress.But I really have to say that Zhao Song and Zhao Keren really deserve to be father and daughter, even their thoughts are so narcissistic.

Not long after, it was Zhao Keran's turn, and when he arrived, Zhao Keran walked onto the stage gracefully.Seeing Zhao Keran walking towards the stage, everyone was still looking forward to it.Especially after seeing Zhao Keran's literary talents just now, everyone is still full of expectations for Zhao Keran's next performance.

However, after Zhao Keran got on the stage, he didn't make any movements. He just smiled confidently, bent his body, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, the performance of the minister is a dance, but the minister For a female performance, you need to make some preparations first, and you need some people to help, I don’t know if it’s possible.”

"Hahaha, this kid doesn't know what he wants to do, is there any surprise?"

The queen mother looked happy, and before the emperor could speak, she looked at Situ Lingzhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, with a look of interest and anticipation.

"Alright, Queen Mother, you've watched so many young ladies performing, and you're a little tired. Just take advantage of this time, let Princess Wen go to prepare and see what you got. Queen Mother, you It's good to take a rest at this time."

The queen looked at Situ Lingzhi very virtuously, "Your Majesty, tell me, is this good?"

"Well, yes. Princess Wen, just take a look. If you need to prepare something, you can just ask those maids and eunuchs to help you prepare it. As for anyone who needs help, you can also call." Situ After hearing what the queen said, Ling Zhi waved his hand and agreed.

The efficiency of handling affairs in the palace is really very good, even Zhao Keran has to admit this.Not long after, the field was covered with layers of white silk, and in the center of the field, four women were already standing there.In fact, these four women in the arena are the Four Handmaids of Qin, Chess, Poetry and Painting.Originally, Zhao Keran was looking for a backup dancer, but only knew three, namely Qin Xiang, Shi Xiang and Hua Xiang, and there was another one, she couldn't choose no matter what, and then it was Qin Xiang who suggested finding Qi Xiang.Because the tacit understanding of these four people is the best, presumably they will perform very well on the court.Later, after talking to Situ Xu, Situ Xu let Qixiang enter the palace quietly.However, the four people on the field have changed their appearances now, because they are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

However, what surprised everyone the most was that the accompaniment of this dance was actually the current Third Prince, His Highness King Xu.In fact, Zhao Keran was originally unwilling to ask Situ Xu to accompany her, but because Situ Xu was very persistent, and because she couldn't find a suitable person to accompany her, she had no choice but to agree.

After seeing that the accompanist turned out to be Xu Wang, although everyone didn't show it on the face, they were still very curious in their hearts.What is the relationship between Princess Wen and King Xu?Why would His Royal Highness Xu Wang accompany Princess Wen on such an occasion?However, everyone's speculation did not last long.As soon as the dance started, everyone fell into it unknowingly.

Suddenly, bursts of white smoke began to fill the field.A soul-stirring flute sounded, and the four women in the field danced with long sleeves. Countless delicate and beautiful petals fluttered gently between the sky and the earth, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.Those four women had blooming flower buds that spread out in all directions. In the rain of flowers all over the sky, a girl in white clothes appeared like an orchid in an empty valley. With her light and graceful dancing posture, she opened and closed her wide sleeves to cover her. It further accentuated her graceful appearance.Everyone looked at her graceful dancing posture so fascinated that they almost forgot to breathe.The girl's beautiful eyes were looking forward, and everyone's heart was beating endlessly, thinking that she was looking at him.For some reason, everyone felt that Zhao Keran, who was on the court at this time, really looked very beautiful.

At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly changed, and the girl used her right foot as the axis.Gently stretch the long sleeves, and the delicate body rotates accordingly, turning faster and faster.Suddenly it flew up from the ground.Four women formed a circle, waving their jade hands, dozens of blue ribbons fluttered out, as if there were blue waves in the field, the girl flew to the ribbons in the air, her slender feet were light, her skirt fluttered , Just like Lingbo Fairy.

The sound of the flute is getting faster and faster, and her figure is dancing faster and faster, her jade-like hands are lingering gracefully, her skirt is fluttering, her pair of smoky water eyes are hesitant to speak, and the streamer is flying, the whole person is like a person separated from the fog. Flowers, hazy and ethereal, flashing beautiful colors, but so far away... She dances lightly, her body is as light as a swallow, her body is as soft as clouds, her arms are as soft as bones, Dancing like a lotus flower, like butterflies flying among flowers, like gurgling water, like the bright moon in the mountains, like the morning light in the alleys, like the round dew on the tip of lotus leaves, it makes people feel like drinking fine wine, so drunk that they can't restrain themselves .

The woman on the field is like a moon fairy, dressed in white and dancing.Let all those infected by her beauty be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Looking at the dancing posture of the woman in the field, everyone has already fallen into it without knowing it.It's like drinking a jug of fine wine, as if I feel that I'm already drunk, and I feel a little ecstatic.

Seeing the woman in white clothes dancing continuously, everyone seems to think that such a woman is definitely more attractive than any other beauties.Everyone was fascinated by it.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhao Keran's dance was finally over.After the last few jumps and twirls, Zhao Keran stopped, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and saluted Situ Lingzhi, "Keran made a fool of himself."

After the dance was over, everyone hadn't recovered yet.It was not until after a while that everyone slowly came back to their senses, and suddenly there was thunderous applause from the audience.

It didn't take long for the girls who had just danced on the stage to leave first.Zhao Keran also returned to his original elegant and leisurely posture.She walked off the stage slowly, as if because of the dance just now, she seemed to have a dazzling light in the eyes of others at any time.

After knowing that Zhao Keran had returned to his seat and sat down, everyone seemed to have not fully recovered.

"Okay, okay." Situ Lingzhi suddenly exclaimed, "This dance should only exist in the sky, and you can hear it a few times in the world. This dance by Princess Wen is really amazing!"

Not only Situ Lingzhi sighed like this, but everyone present felt the same way.Everyone looked at Zhao Keran with admiration.The dance just now made everyone seem to know Zhao Keran again.All along, Zhao Keran has always been very low-key in everyone's eyes, and it can even be said that she has no sense of presence, but she never expected that she would be so outstanding.

Seeing everyone's admiration for him, Zhao Keran was calm, without a hint of pride, just smiled very indifferently, and didn't say anything, as if everyone was praising someone else.

Seeing Zhao Keran like this, the tenderness in Situ Xu's eyes deepened.He always knew that Zhao Keran was so good, but he didn't show it.However, when he saw Zhao Keran's performance today, he was as amazed as everyone else.Even now, he still couldn't forget the fairy-like person who was dancing on the stage, as if that person was still dancing in front of his eyes.

Seeing Situ Xu looking at Zhao Keran with tender eyes, the hatred in Lin Xiuxiu's heart grew deeper.The sword dance she performed just now was obviously so good, but now everyone seems to have forgotten it, and now everyone only has Zhao Keran in their eyes, why?

In what way is Zhao Keran better than himself, obviously his sword dance just now is the best, but why can't everyone see it?It's all Zhao Keran's fault, if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be what he is now.

The ruthlessness in Lin Xiuxiu's eyes as she looked at Zhao Keran deepened.If eyes could kill, then Zhao Keran would have died many times already.

Zhao Keran, who was sitting in her seat, also seemed to feel something strange, her brows were tightly frowned.In fact, from the very beginning, she seemed to feel a coldness, as if there was a strong hatred.But who exactly?Those who have hatred for themselves should not have offended anyone!

Zhao Keran looked in the direction of that hateful gaze, but saw nothing.She just saw Lin Xiuxiu and smiled gently at her.Looking at Lin Xiuxiu's gentle smiling face, Zhao Keran smiled lowly, it seemed that he really thought too much.In fact, to be honest, I am so sharp today, it is normal for someone to be jealous of me, but with hatred, it is impossible.It seems that I have been really too sensitive recently.

Zhao Keran smiled, and continued to watch the performance, and did not continue to think about anything else.As for the hateful look she sensed just now, she just thought that she was really nervous.

The concubine selection banquet was still going on, and after Zhao Keran finished the performance, he sat quietly and watched the performance.However, her number is relatively low, so there are not many people left behind her.

Those who are more talented have already performed, and there is also Zhao Keran's performance in front of them for comparison.So the few people who performed afterward had nothing to surprise everyone.The talent show in the Concubine Selection Banquet came to an end just like that.

"Your majesty, these young ladies are all good girls. Whether it is literary talent or talent, they are all very good. If you let the concubines choose, you really don't know which family to choose." What!" The queen looked at Situ Lingzhi with a charming smile, and said softly.

"Hehe." Concubine Yun Gui chuckled, "I'm afraid the empress is worrying too much! Didn't the emperor just say that this time the concubine selection banquet will be for the princes to choose the right one for themselves? Empress , You also said just now that you will not interfere. If this is the case, why should the empress worry about it? Let the princes decide for themselves, won't it be fine?"

Hearing Concubine Yun Gui's words, the Empress' expression became very bad. What she said just now was just a polite remark, but she did not expect Concubine Yun Gui to refute like this.Concubine Yun Gui's practice, she really relied on the emperor's favor, she dared to question the words of her queen in such a large audience.

The queen took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Concubine Yun, I'm just a gossip, why are you nervous? I just said that I don't know how to choose, but I have never You didn’t say you wanted to interfere, did you? It seems that sister, your understanding ability doesn’t seem very good.”

Concubine Yun Gui was furious after hearing the empress's derogatory words about herself, but now she was in front of the public and under the eyes of the emperor and empress dowager, so she absolutely could not act rashly.Especially the queen mother, she has always been very dissatisfied with herself. When she confronted the queen just now, the queen mother had already looked at herself very displeased. Although the emperor likes himself.But the emperor is a dutiful son, and he will never contradict the queen mother for himself.Thinking of this, no matter how angry Concubine Yun Gui was, she could only suppress it.

After seeing Concubine Yun's aggrieved appearance, the queen felt extremely happy in her heart.Hmph, no matter what you say, it's fine, since I'm a queen, it's absolutely impossible for Concubine Yun Gui, a concubine, to step on her head.It's just a little noble concubine, no matter what, she is definitely not as good as herself.

After seeing the appearance of the Queen and Concubine Yun, Situ Lingzhi opened his mouth to smooth things over, "Hehe, actually the Queen is just sighing, and Concubine Yun is just puzzled. In fact, the two beloved concubines, you don't have to worry. They all say that the children and grandchildren With their own children and grandchildren, if they want to choose which one to be a concubine, I will definitely not object, after all, this concubine selection banquet is held for them, why should we talk too much?"

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, the queen and concubine Yun Gui hurriedly said in unison, and after saluting, they responded in unison, "What the emperor said is that the concubine has been taught."

"Hahaha, in fact, we all don't need to worry, right?" The queen mother smiled and said, "Look at you! The ladies below are all outstanding, all of them are watery, and the little girls look good. They are all very beautiful, but the most important thing is the wishes of the princes! If they like it, that is the most important thing, isn't it?"

"That's right, what the queen mother said is very true." Situ Lingzhi said with a smile, "The concubine selection banquet I held this time is for their future happiness, so the most important thing is that they like it."

"Hahaha." The queen mother looked at the princes sitting below, and asked, "Dear grandchildren of the Ai family, you have all seen the literary talents and talents of the ladies of each family, and you should also feel the same in your heart now." I probably have an impression!"

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, the princes who were sitting in their seats still felt very awkward and didn't know how to answer.Do you want to say, yes!We've all chosen.Wouldn't it be disrespectful to say so?Although it is for them to choose concubines, but such a careless answer seems to be not good no matter how you say it.

However, Situ Xu obviously didn't have any concerns about this aspect. After hearing the queen mother's question, he smiled and replied, "If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, your grandson does have a suitable candidate in his heart." And, my grandson believes that, in fact, the other brothers have made their own decisions in their hearts."

After hearing Situ Xu's words, Situ Lingzhi smiled and said, "It seems that Xu'er has already taken a fancy to some lady in her heart! Otherwise, how can she be so sure!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, since you already know, then don't delay any longer." The queen mother on the side smiled and said, "Look at the Ai family! These emperors and grandchildren of the Ai family already have candidates in their hearts. , don't waste any more time, let them start choosing concubines quickly!"

"It seems that I am confused." Situ Lingzhi smiled very brightly, "If this is the case, let's start quickly! Otherwise, I am afraid that the princes will really start to blame me."

After hearing Situ Lingzhi's words, everyone smiled knowingly.

Situ Lingzhi looked at the people off the court, cleared his throat, and said, "Okay. If this is the case, then don't waste time. Now the princes start to choose the women you like one after another! You can go first Go ask the wishes of the lady you like, if they also like you, then I will give you a marriage for you. However, ladies, don't worry, if you don't like it, you can still refuse , you have this power." 13acv.

Under Situ Lingzhi's order, the final and most important part of the concubine selection banquet is about to begin.

First of all, the first person to choose a concubine is the prince.Not only because he is the prince, but also because he is the eldest son, so it should be his first choice.

The prince stood up, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked towards the field.
