Chapter 69: The Question of the Lady
Because it has been two rounds of drumming and passing flowers, although not everyone is in turn, most of them have appeared.
Although there are many people who are so nervous that they don't play properly......
But on this occasion, I know that the concubines must always pay attention, so few people can keep a normal heart, so the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, as long as it is not too much of a mistake, everyone laughs at it.
But Ke Chaoruo didn't react for a long time after he got up, and for a while, even if he wanted to behave in front of the royal family, he couldn't be too mean, and everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to cool down, on the mountain path in the distance, the figure of the middle palace attendant holding Shi Guo walking quickly had not yet attracted everyone's attention, and Gu Jue stood up like this, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.
She stood up in time, because out of the corner of her eye, she saw that there was a little palace maid who looked like twelve or thirteen years old, trying to get close to Ke Chaoruo.
The little palace maid was afraid that few people knew each other, but Gu Jue happened to remember that it was someone from Xuanqing Palace, but she rarely showed up outside.
"This sister is very versatile, and I don't know what to choose for a while." Gu Jue glanced at the little palace maid, she got up suddenly at the moment, everyone looked over, and subconsciously followed her line of sight.
So the little palace maid was startled and suddenly didn't dare to move.
The corners of Gu Jue's mouth curved, and he said softly, "I'm a clumsy person, I just got lucky with a continuous bye, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue to get my wish this time, so I ask Your Highness and you, let me take advantage of this situation, how about offering you a song with this sister?" ”
Everyone present knew in their hearts that she wanted to relieve Ke Chaoruo.
So let's look at Princess Zhaoqing together.
Because other people stand up at this time, it may be a moment of compassion, or it may be something else.
But Gu Jue was raised in the palace, and it was not a few days after he returned to his home.
Counting with Princess Zhaoqing and other royal daughters, they have all gotten along theoretically.
Who knows if Gu Jue's departure is Zhaoqing's arrangement, so as not to affect the atmosphere of the banquet?
Princess Zhaoqing was slightly stunned, although she also knew that Yun Fenghuang intended to make Ke Chaoruo the daughter-in-law of Xuanqing Palace, but because this imperial daughter was pampered and smooth, the city was not deep, and she was not biological, Concubine Min did many things under the guise of love, and did not tell her carefully. At this moment, the princess was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to agree or not?
Just hesitating, Gu Jue smiled and said: "Your Highness will pity the poor courtiers, you know, the courtiers are stupid, if it is their turn later, I am afraid that I don't know where to put my hands and feet." When the time comes, the courtiers will be embarrassed and don't say anything, and they don't know how to explain to their aunt when they turn back. ”
When the second princess heard this, she blocked her mouth with a fan and whispered to Zhaoqing: "This is true, as if the eldest sister deliberately wanted her to be embarrassed in public, so that she could be left behind." ”
Zhaoqing pampered himself, he didn't take the queen much in his eyes since he was a child, but he didn't buy it when he heard the words, and said lightly: "Everyone is gathered together today, regardless of the dignity and humility, just to have a good time." When you started before, you didn't say it was difficult. How many people have come according to the rules at this time, but you have come forward to say that it is difficult? Isn't this unfair to those who have followed the rules before? The queen mother is the most important rule, but if you do this, even if you make a splash later, the queen mother will not like it. ”
"Your Highness's lesson is that it is the courtiers who want to be narrow." Gu Jue sighed in her heart, she had always known that although her aunt was in the palace, she was in the phoenix position, but when she went to the Xuanqing Palace, she fell behind everywhere.
But I didn't expect that Zhaoqing, a concubine, would not give face to her mother-in-law in front of everyone.
Suppressing countless thoughts, Gu Jue said softly, "But Your Highness, please think about it, since we only want to have fun, it doesn't mean that we have to divide the superiority, so of course how lively and how to come." In this case, the courtier invited herself to play a song with this sister, and dared to ask His Highness if he would allow it? ”
"Big sister, let her come." Before Zhaoqing could speak, the second princess next to him leaned over and whispered again, "Cousin Jinxi was just making a look for us to see Ke Chaoruo's expression, this master is really not okay, if it goes on like this, even if Gu Jue fails to play with Ke Chaoruo, I am afraid that Ke Chaoruo will also miss her in his heart, but it seems that we are deliberately making things difficult." ”
Zhaoqing glanced at Ke Chaoruo quietly, this granddaughter of Ning Guogong was really sweating profusely, her face was red, and she was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.
Thinking of her mother's plan, the princess bowed her head slightly, and said slowly: "This is the truth, today is for fun, not for who to take the school exam or make it difficult." This palace knows that Miss Gu is so strong, but it is okay in normal times, and today everyone only wants to celebrate, but there is no need to do this. ”
Gu Jue didn't care about the beating in her words, nodded yes with a smile, his attitude was well-behaved and supple, and when Zhaoqing retracted his gaze, he turned his head and asked the palace people for musical instruments.
Seeing that the princess nodded, the palace people did not shirk at this time, and went to find Yaoqin Dongxiao.
Gu Jue ordered the maid to ask Ke Chaoruo which one to use? What tunes are you good at?
Ke Chaoruo thanked him without any confidence, and whispered, "I...... Well...... It should all be ...... All right? ”
The maid has always been taken by Gu Jue's side, and she is also relatively clever, and when she heard the words, she understood that this young lady couldn't do neither, and she would be a laggard to choose whichever she chose.
Her smile remained unchanged, and she said softly, "Then what tunes does Miss Ke like?" My young lady said that everything is based on you. ”
"......" Ke Chaoruo thought hard for a moment, then ordered a song that everyone was familiar with, and whispered embarrassedly, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm afraid, well, I'm afraid I don't remember it very well?" ”
"Miss Ke, don't worry, Your Highness has said it, it's just a fun time today, and it's not an examination school." The maid comforted her, turned around and told Gu Jue, and said in a low voice, "...... The maid looked at Miss Ke's fingers, and the cocoon was only recently practiced. ”
Gu Jue was not surprised: "Since she came back to the imperial capital on this eye, it must be to participate in the royal selection of a wife." Where can I not practice a few hands? It's just that she must not have any talent for these things, and looking at the talents of those people in front of her, she compares them, so she is more and more embarrassed. ”
The maid was very happy: "With Miss's piano skills, I will be able to compare her miserably later!" ”
Before the words ......fell, he saw Gu Jue throwing a stupid look at him, "Everyone knows that she is the daughter-in-law that my aunt wants the most, and I am also ordered by my aunt to help her out of the siege at this time, why do you want to step on her as a stepping stone?" ”
Gu Jue is not confused, if the queen's plan goes well, Ke Chaoruo will be her housemother in the future.
Why did she offend people in advance?
If the queen's plan doesn't go well, Ke Chaoruo will be the daughter-in-law of Xuanqing Palace in the future, and with the means of Xuanqing Palace, she stepped on Ke Chaoruo today, and she will have to be doubled when she turns back...... Why is that?
She is not one of the three talented women in Dijing, and she does not rely on her talent to eat.
Therefore, the ensemble of the next two young ladies from famous families made everyone with great expectations very speechless.
Upstairs in Zezhi, the others also gave up, Concubine De relied on the support of the concubine, but she said bluntly: "That Ke Chaoruo is also okay, the daughter of a military general, she grew up in the frontier, and it is understandable that she is not talented." Why did Miss Jue play all this mess? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, just listening to the sound of the piano, the concubine would have said which young girl-child was practicing. ”
The queen frowned slightly, then relaxed, and said lightly: "Zhaoqing, that kid said everything, just to have fun." Why should Concubine De take it so seriously? You are also her German concubine, and you don't have to worry about a class of children. ”
He said, "This round has passed, and it should be the topic of Concubine Shu." But I don't know what problems Concubine Shu has given the children? ”
"Niangniang said with a smile, the concubine is only a shallow learner, even if she wants to find a problem, she must have that strength." Concubine Cui said calmly, "As Princess Zhaoqing said, today is just for fun." The concubine didn't dare to sweep the feast and drink. ”
Concubine Shu was telling the truth, because Gu Jue accompanied Ke Chaoruo to play together...... Or after losing face together, she didn't have her turn next, and at this time Chenguang was about the same, although some people hadn't been clicked yet, and the drumming and passing the flowers were over.
The next thing to dismantle is the concubine's bag, and the title of the concubine is to let everyone compose a poem with the theme of today's lotus pond.
…… It can be said that it is very perfunctory.
So much so that the queen and the concubine turned their heads after listening to the question and looked at the concubine speechlessly.
Concubine Shu lowered her eyebrows and let them look at them, but she didn't have any meaning to explain.
The second prince under her knee has also reached the age of saying that she is married, and she plans to give the main concubine this summer, and even if she has time, she will find two more side concubines.
The problem is that Concubine Shu knows in her own heart, her biological mother is the daughter of the Ji family, and she has been taboo by Chunjia since birth.
wants to ascend the throne, unless the emperor's sons are dead except for the king of Chu.
Cui Lian entered the palace as a young man, and after many years of ups and downs in the palace, he had long since extinguished those unrealistic fantasies.
In fact, she was able to raise the second prince and not die alone, so she was thankful.
Moreover, although the Cui family is also one of today's high-ranking families, it has been declining over the years. After the sister-in-law Xiao Cui married Xie Drizzle, relying on the signboard of the concubine, she was able to play a little bit.
All in all, Cui Lianye didn't feel that it was necessary for her son to fight with the queen concubine.
She didn't even give Ke Chaoruo a look just now, but she was looking at those second-rate girls at most regardless of their talent and background.
So, why rack your brains to come up with the question?
She doesn't need to pick the best of the best.
"Does Concubine Shu have anyone who is optimistic?" After everyone cried and laughed a lot, they also figured out Concubine Shu's thoughts, and at this moment, Concubine De couldn't help but ask, "Just now I saw you staring down for a while." ”
Although Concubine De is similar to Concubine Shu, she doesn't expect to get involved in the most high-profile high-profile disciples at today's banquet.
But Concubine De, as a clear-cut concubine party and the concubine of the three princesses, is difficult not to be regarded as the concubine's future henchmen. In addition, the woman has to be reserved, although she has some thoughts at this time, but it is not easy to say it, but she picked up the concubine, "If there is, it is better to say it, while the queen mother and the concubine sister are here, it is better to give you a counselor or two?" ”
Concubine Shu hesitated, but she didn't refuse, the main reason is that her request for her future daughter-in-law is not to be too good, as long as she is willing to live a good life with the second prince, there are many such candidates.
In case there are plans for the queen and concubine in the few you just liked, you can change it as soon as possible.
So he said: "Miss Luo and Miss Meng are both good. ”
Everyone followed her gaze, but it was Luo Di and Meng Posa's cousin.
The two girls alone look like high-ranking nobles with handsome eyebrows and luxurious bearing, but they are just resting on the side of the most outstanding clan sister in the clan, but they are clearly compared.
The queen couldn't help but say, "Although these two are good, they are a little worse than their cousins." ”
The queen should be the most friendly one in the harem to the twin princes.
At least subjectively.
After all, the third prince of the twin princes is not only brought up by her, but also the child she has the deepest feelings.
At this time, it was seen that Concubine Shu deliberately lowered the requirements of the second princess, and there was something unpleasant in her heart.
Do you think that the second prince is still the brother of the third prince, if the second prince can only match this kind of noble daughter who is not known to everyone, then the third prince ...... Isn't it the same? Although the queen herself knows that it is for their good to find a mediocre concubine for the second prince and the third prince, it is still a bit of a mustard when it comes to the end.
Moreover, she also hopes that Concubine Shu will be a mother and think of a good one for the second prince.
Not to mention anything else, Chengyue Palace occupies an excellent girl, which means that Xuanqing Palace has one less lovely daughter-in-law, right?
As for Concubine Shu, she has actually been very close to Xuanqing Palace over the years...... At least not as close as Concubine De.
And this is also the concubine has always been powerful, if the concubine shows her decline one day, and the concubine is willing to do this, who knows?
"Of course, Miss Luo Di and Miss Meng Po are very good." It's just that Concubine Shu was not fooled, and said very calmly, "But the concubine doesn't know why, it seems that these two girls are more suitable for the eyes." ”
This kind of thing is very delicate, like is like, dislike is dislike, nothing to do with beauty, ugliness, nowhere to be cheap...... Anyway, it's up to you.
Seeing her like this, the queen couldn't force her to raise her requirements for her future daughter-in-law, so she had to say lightly: "It's also done." Later, let's take a look at these two girls. ”
