Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 56 A Blockbuster

Soon after the banquet, everyone gathered in the imperial garden.A rectangular high platform has been set up here, decorated with five-color ribbons and flowers.

Dozens of huanghuali wood round tables are placed under the stage, and each table is equipped with four high-back carved huanghuali wood chairs of the same style.There are snacks such as peanuts and melon seeds on the silver plate on the table.

In the very center of the front of the auditorium facing the stage, there is a gold-painted and carved dragon wooden chair, which is the throne of the emperor.On both sides of the dragon chair are the seats of the queen and the queen mother, followed by the seats of the prince, concubine, prince, concubine, princes and princesses.

Sitting in the second row are the relatives of the emperor, several princes and their family members.

In the third row are officials and family members of Zheng Yipin and Cong Yipin.

The fourth row is the seats for second-rank officials and their families.Xinmeng's seat is in this row.This time, Shen Yunluo was arranged to sit next to her.

The next few rows are also arranged according to grade.

Xinmeng looked around secretly, the first row was all empty, and no one from the royal family was seated.There were several familiar faces in the crowd, including Qianqian Yayun, Minister of Rites who compared Xinmeng to clear water and clear lotus at the running water banquet in the prime minister's mansion last time.

After the two eyes met, they smiled and nodded at each other as a greeting.

Strangely, she didn't see Lin Xian'er, and even her younger sisters were gone.

After the royal family members took their seats one after another and the performance officially started, Xinmeng knew why she didn't see Lin Xian'er.

Because Lin Xian'er was the first to perform.As expected, she danced "Neon Clothes and Feather Dress Dance" like in her previous life.This time, she asked all her sisters to accompany her.

The younger sisters were wearing the same light pink skirt, the same bun on their heads, and the same pearl tassels, so inconspicuous that their existence could be ignored.

On the contrary, Lin Xian'er is wearing a gorgeous walking crown, wearing pearls and pearls, surrounded by emerald greens, wearing a five-color feather suit and dancing lightly, as graceful as a fairy coming to the world, gathering all eyes on her body.

At the end of the dance, the audience applauded like thunder.

Lin Xian'er bowed the curtain reservedly, then opened her arms, letting her wide sleeves flutter in the wind, like a pair of colorful wings, "flying" off the stage under the amazement of everyone.

And her younger sisters, holding their respective instruments, stood in a row and bowed to the curtain call, and then left the stage "disgustedly" amid sporadic applause.

Seeing this scene, Xin Meng secretly sneered.In the previous life, wasn't she being used to bring out Lin Xian'er's nobility and beauty just like these others? !
It can also be seen from this that the Prime Minister's Mansion placed its bargaining chips on Lin Xian'er, favoring Lin Xian'er with all its strength, making Lin Qiao'er, who is also a legitimate daughter, unfortunately reduced to a foil.

Zhuyu is at the front, and the next dancers are under too much pressure.Several of them danced wrongly or twisted their feet.Compared with Lin Xian'er's "Neon Clothes and Feather Dress Dance", the dance that was successfully completed was much less interesting, and did not arouse the interest of the audience, and only received sparse applause.

Neither playing the piano nor singing were particularly brilliant.

On the contrary, the singing of Qianqian Yayun, Minister of Rites, makes people's eyes shine.She was ingenious and changed into a man's long robe with a crown and belt, and sang ballads as an ancient wit.

Her voice was originally clear, but now she deliberately made a low voice, and with the rhythmic drumbeat, she slowly sang the tragedy of the ancient battlefield and the blood of the soldiers.Following her singing, the audience in the audience couldn't help thinking of the great merchant soldiers who were fighting fiercely at the border.

The moment Qian Yayun stepped off the stage, the whole stage suddenly plunged into darkness, and then a melodious sound of the piano came from the darkness.

Everyone showed a clear expression, thinking that it was just a certain young lady who was playing the piano deliberately.

Suddenly, a ball of jumping flames caught everyone's eyes.Everyone followed the light and saw that there was a large vat in the center of the stage, and the fire was coming from the vat.

This big tank is very different from the tanks used by ordinary people to store water. The most obvious difference is that there are more than ten hollows on the body of the tank to allow the light to shine through better.

Just when everyone was wondering, a circle of white cloth fell from the sky above the stage, forming a big circle around the vat.Through the white cloth, one can vaguely see that the fire has stabilized a lot.

At some point, a figure appeared behind the white cloth.Judging by the slender figure, it is undoubtedly a woman.

After the woman bowed in the direction of the emperor, she began to dance lightly.

From this end of the white cloth, no one could see the woman's clothes and appearance, only a slim silhouette was reflected on the white cloth, spinning, jumping, holding something like a long pole in her hand, stippling on the white cloth from time to time.

Gradually, attentive viewers discovered that the woman was not randomly stippling on the white cloth.One person couldn't help but speak up, and the others followed suit.

That's a mountain!
That's a waterfall!

That's Oe!

That's sunrise!

……

Every time the woman drew a new landscape, everyone held their breath and looked at it carefully, trying to guess what she was painting first.

When the woman turns around to dip in the ink, the canvas will rotate slowly, always facing the viewer with the side that is painting.When the sound of the piano is exciting, the speed of the woman's painting is accelerated; when the sound of the piano is quiet, her dancing posture becomes more graceful.

After the entire piece of white cloth was painted with the scenery, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the canvas slowly unfolded in a straight line, facing the auditorium, and the painting woman who had never seen her true face was also revealed in front of everyone.

A naturally beautiful woman with no make-up and makeup bowed gracefully to the emperor in the audience.

The audience was silent, and even the evening wind seemed to have stagnated.

Suddenly, in the deathly silence, there was a loud applause, and they came from a person in the first row.

Without the emperor's order, Xinmeng didn't dare to move, and continued to maintain the posture of saluting.She closed her eyes and recognized the applause coming from the front left.If I remember correctly, sitting there are Prince Xiao Qian, Eighth Prince Xiao Lang and several princesses.

The stunned audience was awakened by the single applause, and clapped along with it, continuously.

Xinmeng lowered her head, unable to tell the emperor's mood from the applause.She can only wait.

"She is Shen Xinmeng, the eldest daughter of General Shen Ji, and the girl who plays the piano is the second daughter, Shen Yunluo." Su Gonggong, the chief servant who had woken up, quickly leaned close to the emperor's ear, and introduced in a low voice.

"She is Shen Xinmeng?" The emperor looked at the woman on the stage thoughtfully, automatically ignoring the last sentence of his father-in-law.

I saw that she was wearing a snow-white silk skirt without any jewelry on her body, and even her jet-black hair was tied behind her head with a snow-white ribbon.

During the painting just now, there were dots of ink stains on her skirt, but it didn't look dirty at all. On the contrary, it seemed that she was also wearing a painting.
