The reborn concubine seeks the world

Chapter 13 Talent
As soon as Zhou Xiaolian said this, all the official ladies who came here had their own thoughts.

I turned my head and glanced at Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing. My two older sisters also had expressions of surprise on their faces, maybe they hadn't reacted.

"These three are the daughters of General Murong's family, right?"

When Zhou Xiaolian said this suddenly, my heart trembled.

I forgot, Zhou Xiaolian didn't pursue the matter of us sisters standing up for Guo Yurou for three days just now, but now she brought us up.

With Murong Qingfeng as the leader, Murong Qingqing and I followed behind.

"The queen is auspicious."

We bowed to Zhou Xiaolian, but she hurriedly said: "Please hurry up, three young ladies. I think that in the Daqing Dynasty, I have been guarded by General Murong. Only now can the people live and work in peace and contentment. This palace still needs to let the three young ladies Instead of Bengong, I would like to thank General Murong."

Hearing these words, Murong Qingfeng laughed lightly and said: "Although my father is away on the battlefield to defend the country, but inside the palace, the empress has always kept the harem in order. My father often mentions it in front of the three of us, so that you The three of us sisters should follow your example, Madam, and learn a lot from you."

Murong Qingfeng said these words in an orderly manner, and completely catered to Zhou Xiaolian, if it was Murong Qingqing, I am afraid that he would not have so much thought.

Although it was the cold winter season, the imperial garden was still full of vitality.

There are green pine trees, and Samuume flowers, and a group of court ladies each brought a lot of potted plants one after another.

Just watching these flowers gives people a sense of monotony, but hearing the maid Peiqi next to Zhou Xiaolian laugh and say: "Madam, it's boring to just invite ladies to watch the flowers, but if It is also pleasing to the eye to be able to show off their talents with these flowers as the backdrop."

As Peiqi said, each of us understands in our hearts that the purpose of being invited by the queen this time to enter the palace is to let the ladies of the official family show their talents so that Zhou Xiaolian can choose a concubine for Yu Wenjin in advance.

I should have come here as a foil for the fact that I didn’t reach Ji, but my eldest sister and second sister, one of them is over [-] years old, and the other has passed Ji at the beginning of this year. When I suddenly think of them, I feel a little worried.

From the bottom of my heart, I don't want my two elder sisters to enter the palace and become Yu Wenjin's concubine. After all, Yu Wenjin is my enemy. One day, I will kill him!

When Zhou Xiaolian heard what Peiqi said, she immediately nodded with a smile.

"It's reasonable, but I don't know what the ladies of the official family think?"

Zhou Xiaolian wanted to affect everyone when he spoke.

We each got up, saluted, and said: "It's all according to the Queen's order."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolian laughed and said, "Since that's the case, ladies and gentlemen, it's like a game. You just follow the rules when I ask questions."

After Zhou Xiaolian finished speaking, he waved to Peiqi, Peiqi leaned down, but saw Zhou Xiaolian put Peiqi's ears on, speaking in a low voice, and soon Peiqi left with a smile.

After a while, I saw Peiqi walking ahead with a cup of tea in her hand, and behind her were many court ladies, each of which held different things in their hands, including poems, maids, beads, clothes, etc. Of course there are many other things.

I watched Peiqi put the tea in front of Zhou Xiaolian, then turned around again, looked at all of us, and said, "All the ladies of the official family should have seen it. There is an object, the servants have prepared a wooden card for lottery here, and all the ladies of the official family are invited to come and draw lots, and whoever gets the object corresponding to them will use this object as a topic for talent display."

Hearing these words, Murong Qingfeng, Murong Qingqing and I all looked at each other.

Murong Qingqing smiled and said: "Third sister, don't be afraid, if you catch something you don't like, I will exchange it with you."

Murong Qingfeng also smiled lightly and said: "What Qingqing said is that whenever the three of us sisters catch something we don't like, we will exchange it with each other, so that at least the three of us will not be at a disadvantage. "

After I heard these words, I also had my own thinking in my heart. As the lord of the harem, Zhou Xiaolian is her duty to choose a concubine for Yuwen Jin. Death, I'm afraid it came from her jealousy, even if she helped Yuwen Jin choose a concubine, it was definitely not from the heart.

I glanced at Murong Qingfeng, and then at Murong Qingqing. If Murong Qingfeng enters the palace, I may be able to deal with Zhou Xiaolian a little bit, but if Murong Qingqing enters the palace, I am worried that I will seek skin from a tiger. I am afraid that she will become a harem fight. victim.

However, no matter which of the two of them enters the palace, I can't bear the fact that they will become canaries in the cage. In my heart, I only hope that my eldest sister and second sister can sneak out in their spare time as before. Going out of the house, in our secret base, you can still steal a moment of joy.

At this time, the ladies from various official families had already drawn wooden tokens from Peiqi, and the three of us sisters also went over together, randomly drawing a wooden token.

Back on my seat, I looked at the wooden sign in my hand, on which was written the word "poetry", and then at Murong Qingfeng's, which had the word "guzheng" written on it, but Murong Qingqing's wooden sign had the word "sword" written on it.

Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat, Murong Qingqing's wooden plaque was actually a sword, how could it be so coincidental, it was clearly aimed at Murong's mansion, the official ladies here, only the three of us came from the military officer's mansion, The rest of the ladies are all from civil servants' houses.

However, it sounds inappropriate to come from the general's mansion and not know how to use weapons, but it is also inappropriate as a woman who knows how to use weapons.

It's just that Murong Qingqing saw the word "sword and sword" written on her wooden sign, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, third younger sister, this sword is my strong point."

But Murong Qingfeng frowned looking at the wooden sign in Murong Qingqing's hand and said: "Qingqing, let's change the wooden sign, this guzheng is more suitable for you."

Seeing what Murong Qingfeng said, Murong Qingqing pouted and said: "Eldest sister, you know that I'm only superficial at guzheng, but elder sister, you know a little bit about it yourself."

In fact, when I heard Murong Qingfeng say that he wanted to exchange wooden cards with Murong Qingqing, I knew Murong Qingfeng's intentions.

She was defending Murong Qingqing, but Murong Qingqing was so innocent and straightforward that she didn't understand what Murong Qingfeng meant.

When I saw this scene, I immediately smiled and said: "Eldest sister, second sister, how about this, I will give my poems to the second sister, and the eldest sister's guzheng to me, and the second sister, you can give your wooden plaque to the eldest sister."

Seeing what I said, Murong Qingfeng and Murong Qingqing looked at me completely puzzled.

I knew that the two of them were naturally puzzled, but I smiled and said: "I am not good at poetry, second sister, you are good at learning, reciting poems and making pairs is also your strong point, the elder sister wants to hold a sword, so you took my poems and used them Give her the sword."

"But third sister, how can you know how to play the guzheng? Eldest sister and I can't let you make a fool of yourself in front of everyone!"

Murong Qingqing frowned and looked at me, but I smiled and shook my head and said: "Don't worry, two sisters, I knew a sister when I was young, she taught me Guzheng, although I haven't learned it for long, but I have practiced it a few times. A familiar song."

After I said this, the two of them agreed to my proposal.

At this moment, the lottery is over, and we each took our own wooden cards to the maid and took the objects.

However, when the three of us sisters each took the objects written on the wooden sign, I saw that Zhou Xiaolian's face darkened.

She probably didn't expect that the three of us sisters would change the wooden cards. After all, I knew in my heart that even if it was a lottery, what we caught was arranged by Zhou Xiaolian in advance.

After we each took our things, Zhou Xiaolian spoke.

"The ladies of the official family have all taken their belongings. Just now, Peiqi also brought a cup of tea to Ben Gong. Since this is the case, Ben Gong will make an introduction first, and use tea as the theme to compose a poem."

As soon as Zhou Xiaolian said this, he saw that Peiqi had already presented the pen and paper.

I saw her pick up the pen and paper and finish it in one go.

"Clouds are wet, mulberry, ramie, cloud and autumn, a few wisps of wetness are happy to care about. Fill the bowl with drunkness and give it to each other. The smoker smiles and is my hut."

She wrote while reading, even if I have a grudge against her, I still have to admire, Zhou Xiaolian is indeed talented, the poem does not contain the word "tea", but every word has the fragrance of tea.

Following Zhou Xiaolian is her cousin Zhao Ziyue.

Zhao Ziyue's intentions were very obvious, she entered the palace this time to compete with other officials' ladies, and it was obvious from her heart that she wanted to enter the palace to become Yu Wenjin's concubine.

It's just that Zhao Ziyue is really confused, she doesn't know, if she really becomes Yu Wenjin's concubine, then Zhou Xiaolian will no longer care about her status as a cousin, even if she is friendly with her on the surface, she just wants to use her, If it is not used, then it will try its best to deal with her.

Zhao Ziyue stood up, held the round fan in her hand and smiled coquettishly: "Empress, what I got this time is a dough fan, and I don't know what this fan can be used for, so I might as well draw something on the dough fan. "

When Zhao Ziyue said this, Zhou Xiaolian smiled lightly and said, "That's very good!"

Soon, a court lady handed Zhao Ziyue a pen, and we watched Zhao Ziyue start painting, but I never thought that although Zhao Ziyue is arrogant and domineering, she is not completely useless.

The round fan in her hand originally drew some famous flowers, but seeing her pick up a brush, she drew many butterflies on the round fan, the butterflies were not outstanding, but she drew another child, and that child was actually in the flowers The butterfly flutters in the middle, and the picture is joyful and artistic.

"well!"

When Zhou Xiaolian saw this painting, she immediately smiled and said, "My cousin's painting is really beautiful. If my cousin is willing, I can give this dough fan to Bengong!"

At this moment, Zhou Xiaolian also called Zhao Ziyue a little bit closer. We all praised Zhao Ziyue's paintings when we heard these words, but we saw Zhao Ziyue said with joy: "I'm afraid that the empress will dislike my paintings. If the empress likes it, my sister is willing to draw a few more pictures for you!"

Now Zhao Ziyue also claims to be her younger sister, but unfortunately she doesn't know how Zhou Xiaolian will treat her sincerely. I am afraid that this time, Zhou Xiaolian wants to recruit her into the palace, but he just wants to use her to consolidate his position. !
