Chapter 1168: Is it appropriate for me to be with Lord Lu
Originally, everyone present was immersed in Shen Nanzhi's "gift", and many people were amazed by their talents, the eighth princess and Meng Xian were sweating, and they were relieved to see her safely resolved, and suddenly heard Shen Nanzhi say this in front of the emperor, and they both turned their heads and looked at Wang Qianqian with a smile.
I saw that Wang Qianqian was shocked, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a forced smile: "Courtier...... Originally, there was, but I saw such an ingenious gift from Fourth Sister Shen...... On the contrary, I feel that I can't take it out, so why am I embarrassed to take it out again to disappoint the emperor? "She can't say she's not prepared at all!
Lu Yunqi turned the cup in his hand and smiled softly: "So what? If you are prepared, you are sincere, and it is enough for the emperor to see your sincerity, is it true that in your eyes, the emperor is actually a person who cares about the value of gifts? β
The emperor also tilted his head, waiting for Wang Qianqian to answer.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wang Qianqian's body, and before she could come up with any countermeasures, Shen Nanzhi continued: "Yes, sister of the Wang family, it's good to have a heart, look at me, I thought that a few words couldn't compare to my sister's courtesy, but the emperor is a rare Ming monarch, and he values our thoughts more!" My sister is willing to let my sister out of the limelight, and my sister can't forget my sister's encouragement......" The expression was frank and unpretentious, and the tone was extremely sincere.
Wang Qianqian silently wrung the sleeves in her hand, and when she heard it, she only felt frightened, and walked up with a hard head: "Courtier...... Recently, I have been practicing a piano song, and I am thinking of taking this opportunity to ask the emperor to deign to be axe and ......"
The people below are gloating and waiting for her "performance".
The emperor waved his hand, and soon someone arranged the guqin in the hall, and Shen Nanzhi was waved back to his seat by the emperor and listened carefully. Just in front of everyone's eyes, Wang Qianqian's trembling hand gently plucked the strings.
It can be seen that Wang Qianqian doesn't want to lose. But as a high-ranking concubine like her, it is serious to learn how to take care of the house on weekdays, such as composing poems and touching the qin, if it does not reach a certain realm, it is a trick that the concubines make good use of, and Wang Qianqian's piano skills are not very superb, and she will only play a few tunes over and over again - note that the real purpose of Wang Qianqian's learning of the piano is to make herself more brilliant in the boudoir, so the repertoire is as follows: "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", "Acacia Fu", "Hongyan Fu", ...... Etcetera.
This time, she also played a song "Acacia Fu" unexpectedly. The sound of the piano is indeed beautiful, but the emperor's face becomes more and more ugly the more he listens to it.
Before the song ended, Wang Qianqian had already heard the sound of shameful laughter from someone below, and the emperor at the top couldn't help but wave his hand: "Enough!" You have come to the palace to pray for the blessing of the country, and it is ridiculous to play such a tune! β
"Your Majesty! Courtiers...... The courtiers ...... "Wang Qianqian knelt on the ground and was stumbling."
The eighth princess didn't think it was big enough, so she added a fire and said: "Not to mention the tune, this "Acacia Fu" is not as good as Huai Jin in my house, and the six girls of the Wang family are perfunctory to my imperial brother with such a level?" β
Huai Jin hung her head shyly.
Princess An glared at her with hatred, and said softly as much as possible: "The emperor is not strange, it is estimated that the girl of the Wang family wants to play a song to the emperor most proficiently, and there was a girl from the Shen family who was so powerful before, and it is common sense for her to be nervous for a while and play the wrong track." β
Concubine An's face couldn't be withheld, and the emperor snorted coldly: "Okay, okay, you go down quickly!" β
Wang Qianqian responded in a low voice, and returned to her position with a disgraced face. Passing by Shen Nanzhi's side, I saw her sitting upright, drinking tea calmly, and for a while she hated her teeth itching, and clenched her fists viciously, and then sat down.
Shen Nanzhi was in a good mood, and asked Wang Qianqian to lose such a big person in public, as soon as she sat back, Meng Xian and the eighth princess twisted her by themselves: "You little girl, you can speak well!" Where did the soft persimmon-like person go on weekdays!? β
provoked Shen Nanzhi to beg for mercy again and again, and only then did he break free from the demon grasp of the two people.
Looking at this corner with a smile, the little girl who was bullied in the middle was flushed, it was very cute, Lu Yunqi couldn't help but take a few more looks. Every word and deed is relaxed, that is, the flattery is full of sincerity and irrefutable, compared with Wang Qianqian who plays the piano, it is self-evident who wins and who loses.
Lu Yunqi thought silently in his heart, and he didn't know who was a fox......
The dinner party was a good osmanthus brew, Shen Nanzhi was a little worried about Lu Yunqi when he saw that there was wine on the table, but he secretly looked at it and found that this guy was drinking very happily, cup after cup, even Mo Song, who was waiting on the side, did not have the slightest worried look, and he had a posture of not getting drunk with a thousand cups.
Could it be that he found some panacea, and he was cured of alcoholism? Shen Nanzhi thought silently, and simply stopped caring about him.
After the banquet, the emperor got up and was about to leave. He was just here to boost morale this time, and the palace was busy, so he didn't plan to stay longer, so he got up at this time and said with a smile: "I'm gone, you guys can eat and drink better!" And take this opportunity to get acquainted with each other, so as not to know who lives in the palace for a month! β
Shen Nanzhi had to agree with the emperor's move very much - he really understood his own positioning, and he also knew the pressure he brought to people!
Not long after the emperor left, Shen Nanzhi took the lilac and jade to the door, Shen Nanzhi has never had the determination to last a whole feast, but Meng Xian and the eighth princess are quite comfortable, although the osmanthus brew is not a strong wine, and if she drinks too much, she will see that the two of them are quite excited when she goes out.
The northern suburbs palace is not as magnificent as the imperial palace, but it is definitely not much worse. Yulu said that there is a high platform in the palace, and the scenery is wonderful, and you can see half of the palace as far as the eye can see, Shen Nanzhi was immediately interested, and dragged Yulu where to go.
Climb high and look into the distance, the scenery on the high platform is really unusual, at this time it is night, although you can't see any specific scenery, but just look at the gas lights of each palace and all directions, forming a regular shape, you can also feel the wealth of the palace.
Yulu is naΓ―ve, and when she talked about Lu Yun's prayer, she couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Lu also helped the four girls speak at the banquet today!" It's the first time I've seen Lord Lu, but I didn't expect it to be such a beautiful man with a jade tree in the wind......"
Shen Nanzhi chuckled, not knowing how Lu Yunqi would feel if he heard someone praising him as a "beautiful man", but at this moment, he couldn't help but tease Yulu: "Yes!" Gyokuro, you say...... Is it a good fit for me and Lord Lu? β
"Huh? This, this ......"
