Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 258 A Blockbuster

After Chen Wenxin was surprised, she was delighted.

Just kidding, these people are all patrons, of course the more the better!

She warmly greeted everyone to sit down, and when the servants in the garden saw her coming, they changed the tea again.

Immediately afterwards, the snacks and fruits were put on the table, and Chen Wenxin sat at the head, beside the fifth princess, the two Gege, Nalan Yulu and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have already seen the scenery in this garden, why don't you sit down and have some snacks."

Hearing this, everyone sat down and thanked them.

Nalan Yulu said: "Today's elegant banquet, it's better to have a wine order to add fun. What do you think?"

"Okay."

Chen Wenxin smiled with a standard gesture of innocence to humans and animals. These young ladies could only drink and drink when they had nothing to do when they got together, and then they recited poems and sang songs.

There are not many pleasures in the boudoir, why can't we get together to embroider flowers?
She looked up and saw that these women were all daughters of officials and officials, and half of them were full and half.

Han Chinese ladies can more or less know some poetry, but Manchu ladies may not.

Just look at Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and others in the palace, and you can see it.

Nalan Yulu is considered one of the leaders, and her father won the emperor's reliance precisely because of his advocacy of sinology.

If Nalan Rong is a talented woman, she can be regarded as a talented woman among these ladies.

She had greeted Nalan Yulu earlier and asked her to maintain the scene.

So as soon as Nalan Yulu proposed the drinking order, she agreed.

It's just that the drinking orders of those poems and songs must not be followed, it seems that those women who are illiterate are left out in the cold.

"There are so many guests today, and everyone has different tastes. If there is only one kind of wine order, I'm afraid it will be restrictive."

Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "Why don't we do something more vulgar, pass the flowers by beating the drum. Who will get the flowers when the drum falls, how about performing a show for everyone?"

As soon as these words came out, all the young ladies were delighted.

One thing is that the drinking order is easy, and there is no need to rack your brains to think of poems, for fear of being laughed at by others.

The second reason is that they came here to get close to Chen Wenxin, and being able to perform a show that they are good at in front of her is exactly what they want.

All of a sudden everyone agreed: "Your Majesty, this idea is really good, not vulgar at all."

"Vulgarity is elegance. Your Majesty's idea is really wonderful."

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to each of us with our own strengths, it's really gracious and magnanimous."

……

Chen Wenxin froze the corners of her mouth in these flattering words, she seldom heard such face-to-face flattery in the palace, and she was still not used to it.

It's just that I have to listen to it even if I don't listen to it now, and I have to pretend to be happy to hear it.

She smiled stiffly and said, "Then let's begin."

The flower drum was lifted up and placed on the side of the lower head. The little eunuch, who was blindfolded with a silk cloth, held the drumstick and stood in front of the flower drum to listen to the order.

Chen Wenxin held a delicate hydrangea silk flower in her hand, and with the sound of the drum, she first passed the flower to the fifth princess beside her.

The fifth princess and the two princesses just came to town, so they naturally didn't need to rely on their talents to please Chen Wenxin.

So the flower spread quickly, and the three little girls threw it at each other with a smile.

When the flower left their hands and passed to the young lady below, the speed obviously slowed down.

Those young ladies took the silk flowers and stroked the petals with their hands before reluctantly passing them on to the next young lady.

Some even put the flowers in front of their noses and smell them before giving up.

——Please, those silk flowers are not real flowers, where does the fragrance come from!

Chen Wenxin could hardly stop laughing, those young ladies who hold flowers in their hands and refuse to pass them on, have you considered the feelings of the people waiting behind?

She has already seen the raging flames in the eyes of those women.

I didn't have much experience in the first round, so I was very embarrassed by these ladies.

At last the drums stopped, and the flower fell into the hands of a young lady with rouge smeared like a monkey's butt.

The person behind her rolled her eyes in anger. If she hadn't taken possession of it and refused to pass it on, the flower would have already been in her hands.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly told Bai Lu quietly to make the little eunuch who was beating the drum stop earlier and not to beat it for so long.

The monkey butt lady got up delicately, and said to Chen Wenxin: "The minister will perform a stunning shadow dance for the empress."

Although she didn't know what kind of dance it was, but the name seemed to be quite powerful.

She smiled and nodded, "Okay."

When the woman changed into her dance clothes and came up, the melodious music sounded, and she began to wave her hands and feet.

The waist is as stiff as a stone, and you can't even bend it. How dare you dance?
After just a few moves, some young ladies began to talk loudly, "What kind of shocking image is this? Sows should shine in the water?"

Bai Lu whispered in her ear at the right time: "This is the young lady of Uiro's family, member of the household department."

Tobe?
Chen Wenxin's eyes lit up all of a sudden, it was a fat place, this lady must be rich!
Although she also felt that this dance was terrible, but how could she let others drive away this big benefactor?

Following the woman's twirling jump, she didn't jump up, and fell to the ground cumbersomely.

She couldn't bear to listen to other people's comments anymore, so she simply stopped dancing.

Chen Wenxin saw that her face was flushed, thinking that those women's discussions were too loud, she had already heard them.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly smoothed things over: "This dance is really fresh. I have seen many soft and frivolous dances in the palace, but I think Miss Wang's dance is very stable."

Yes, stand as steady as a log and jump as heavy as a pig.

The women below didn't care about it, they just thought that this Concubine Qin was really lenient, and such a dance could still give people face praise.

Thinking of this, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least if it's her turn to perform for a while, even if she makes a mistake, she won't be disgusted by her.

The dancing girl thought that Chen Wenxin would dislike her, but she did not expect her to praise herself with a smile on her face, saving her face.

She saluted her superior gratefully, "My daughter, thank you for your praise, I am ashamed."

The etiquette of thanking you was well done, and Chen Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief, "There is no need to be too polite. Come here, and reward Miss Wang with this plate of Zhenzi crisp from this palace."

For these great ladies, rewarding money and wealth is too vulgar.

Rewarding them with some of their own food would make them feel more honored.

Chen Wenxin had already made up her mind, so several snacks were placed in front of her, just to reward others.

Everyone did not expect that Chen Wenxin would reward Ms. Wang after finishing her compliments.

Could it be that Concubine Qin has a crush on that pig that can't jump, and wants to betroth her to General Chen?
Impossible, impossible, this is just the generosity of Concubine Qin.

It must be so!

Chen Wenxin said again: "Then continue to pass the flowers, from Miss Wang down."

This small game of beating drums and passing flowers was played by everyone, and everyone was in high spirits.

Everyone rushed to receive the flower, wanting to show off their versatility in front of Chen Wenxin.

After the little lady who played the drum listened to the order, the drum beat was much shorter.

All of a sudden, the young ladies of each family had the opportunity to be on stage, and they showed what they were best at.

Some performers play the piano, others play the flute.

Some are singing voices, some are splashing ink.

There are also some more alternative ones, such as varieties that can smell flowers even if you are blindfolded.

Nalan Yulu also got a chance to compose a poem on stage, and the fifth princess also drew a stick figure because she accidentally took the flower into her hand.

Chen Wenxin rewarded all the performers, regardless of their merits and family backgrounds, with snacks.

Or pastries, or fruits, or candied fruit.

Even the five princesses and Nalan Yulu's are no exception, making it difficult to see who Chen Wenxin really likes.

The fifth princess will go to Mongolia to get married in the future, she will never marry Chen Wenyi, that's for sure.

In addition to the five princesses, Nalan Yulu's poems are astonishing, and the lady of the Chu family's flute is also very beautiful and moving.

But it seems that Chen Wenxin did not give them any special rewards or other expressions, thinking about it, he was not sure which of them he liked.

The smile on Chen Wenxin's face was extremely stiff, but she still held on, pretending to watch the performances of these ladies with great interest.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, they actually played such a retarded game all morning!

She got up and raised her wine glass to everyone.

"I am very happy today. I have all the ladies accompanying me to enjoy the garden. I am very happy to see such beautiful performances again."

It's a ghost if you are happy, she is bored to death.

It's just that if you let these people come today, you have to give them a chance to show themselves, otherwise how could they be willing?

"I thought to myself, ladies have worked so hard to add to the fun, so I should also perform for you, so as to fully entertain you."

The young ladies said hurriedly and didn't dare, how can there be any reason for the empress to perform for us?
Seeing this, the fifth princess quickly took over the conversation and said: "Since Qin'er Niang has such a heart, if we refuse, it will be a disappointment to Qin'er Niang's kindness, but it is disrespectful."

Big Gege followed the fifth princess's words, "Yes, I also want to see what Qin'erniang will perform."

Apart from Chen Wenxin, they have the highest status here, they all spoke, and the ladies naturally had to follow their words.

All of a sudden everyone complimented and expressed their desire to see Chen Wenxin perform.

Today's highlight can be counted.

Chen Wenxin left his seat and said: "Please come to the water pavilion with me to watch."

What a show, isn't it roomy enough here?
Everyone was a little suspicious, thinking that she had clearly planned it a long time ago, so it was really unwise for them to refuse just now!

Thinking in their hearts, everyone followed Chen Wenxin to the back of the water pavilion.

Not far away is a cliff, where there are several grass targets, which are somewhat similar to the school field in the military camp.

Some people who have seen it said: "Isn't this a target for practicing archery? Why did it come here?"

Chen Wenxin took a black object brought up by Bai Lu, held it in his hand, and aimed it into the distance.

"boom--"

A gunfire sounded close at hand, and some timid ladies were already frightened.
