Scheme of the Official Descendant

Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun were on the side. The old princess’s face was always calm, and she couldn’t see any emotions. After sitting on the main seat, she waved her hands. The princess smiled at Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun. Nodding, Mrs. Yun helped Mrs. Yun to sit on the side seat next to the main seat.

The main seat was originally occupied by the old princess, the princess and the princess, each a few short. The old concubine asked Xiao Wei to sit next to her, and Wu Yiyu and Xiao Jinglin filed the same case. The concubine asked Mrs. Yun to add seats to Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Jingyuan's mother and daughter.

There were a few short tables on both sides of the main seat, and now there was an old lady Yun, and Ren Yaoqi was guessing who the rest of the tables were for, but she saw Mrs. Xu Ouyang came over with several wives. After seeing the ceremony with the old concubine and the concubine, the ladies sat down on the low table next to Mrs. Yun. There were six people sitting there, Ren Yaoqi only knew Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yun, Mrs. Su, and the remaining three wives were all about the same age as Mrs. Xu, not to mention their appearance, they all had a very gentle temperament.

The ladies who were standing originally all bowed their knees and saluted.

The concubine nodded gently and said, "Everyone sit down." Then everyone sat down.

"Everyone is here? Then let's start." The old princess raised her eyes and said softly to the princess.

The concubine responded, and nodded to Mrs. Xu.

Although the daughter banquets in previous years were organized by the Yun family, Mrs. Xu's Mrs. Ouyang presided over the inspection of the talents of the daughters.

Ouyang stood up and said in a slow voice: "I think you all know the rules of today's competition, so I won't repeat them. The six arts of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, no matter what kind of talent you think you are good at, you can take it." Come out and show. In the end, we will judge the best ten outstanding Jinshi, as the leader of this year's Qianjin Banquet. The sage said, "If a gentleman has nothing to fight, he must shoot. He bows and rises to drink. The fight is also a gentleman." 'As long as you can understand this truth, the result is not important..."

Ouyang's voice is not loud, not sonorous, and even somewhat pathologically short of breath, but it has a unique charm that makes people calm down and listen to her.

Ren Yaoqi sat down and looked at Ouyang Shi, and saw that although her complexion was still not very good, she was in good spirits. I don't know if that prescription will help her disease. Ren Yaoqi thought about finding a chance to visit after the Qianjin Banquet was over.

Ouyang Shi had finished speaking and sat down, but Ren Yaoqi found that the ladies who were sitting upright seemed to be a little agitated, although the agitation was shown very restrained. Ren Yaoyu, who was sitting next to her, would quietly look into the peach blossom forest opposite from time to time.

Ren Yaoqi also looked up, only to find that there seemed to be a crowd of people in the peach blossom forest. In a blink of an eye, seeing the shyness, timidity and eagerness of the girls, Ren Yaoqi understood. It must be the same as the Su family's tea party last time, those young masters are gathering in the woods right now.

I heard that there are already more than a dozen families who have the intention of marrying each other in just yesterday's day-to-day communication. These young men and women must also very much want to know the appearance of the person who is going to be married to them. After all, if they meet again next time It is very likely that it is time for the bridal chamber huāzhu, because the two parties who are married are probably not from the same state capital, but it is not clear if they can recognize the huā through most of the peach forest fog.

Seeing that none of the elders including the old concubine showed any displeasure, this must be the custom of the Qianjin Banquet.

Ren Yaoqi was absent-mindedly thinking about these things, but she heard Ouyang said from above: "Princess, how about you start today?"

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but look up at Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin was sitting there with no expression on her face, reciting the meridians and acupoints map of the human body, but she raised her head nonchalantly when she heard Ouyang's calling her. Subconsciously glanced at Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaoqi smiled, blinked and nodded at her.

Xiao Jinglin thought that she would play it sooner or later anyway, the first one would be the first one, and she would follow the example of those women who get sick three times a day and leave first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinglin was about to nod her head when she heard Wu Yiyu who was sitting next to her speak first: "I'm afraid Jinglin is not ready yet, why don't I start today." Without looking at Xiao Jinglin What to say, she stood up one step ahead.

Xiao Jinglin frowned, and the princess was about to say something, but the old princess smiled and said, "Since Yiyu wants to come first, let Yiyu come. Jinglin's finale is also good today."

The old princess opened. , the princess could only swallow her words, and nodded with a smile: "It's the same if you let Yiyu come first."

Wu Yiyu turned her head and smiled at Xiao Jinglin, with her back to everyone, her smile contained undisguised complacency and malice. Xiao Jinglin turned her eyes away, treating her like nothing.

When two maids carried a piano case and put it under the main seat, Ren Yaoqi faintly felt something was wrong.

Wu Yiyu walked slowly to the piano case and sat down. Her maid took a piano and put it on the piano case in front of her. Wu Yiyu raised a haughty smile at the corner of her mouth, and raised her hand to pluck the strings.

The familiar piano sound flowed out from Wu Yiyu's fingertips, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help sighing, and looked at Xiao Jinglin.

Xiao Jinglin looked at Wu Yiyu below blankly. Wu Yiyu was also wearing a purple jacket and skirt today. A flying phoenix with wings was embroidered with gold thread all over her body. There was no Zhai pattern embroidered, and the piping on the sleeves and skirt was embroidered with The eight-treasure pattern of "wheel snail umbrella cover, huā can fish length". On her head was a luxurious huā crown inlaid with white jade inlaid with precious lotuses, and her attire was seven or eight points similar to that of Xiao Jinglin herself.

Xiao Jinglin doesn't pay much attention to clothing on weekdays, so she didn't notice Wu Yiyu's clothes before. But now, Wu Yiyu played the song "Moon Full Guanshan" that she had practiced for a long time before her. If she hadn't realized Wu Yiyu's deliberate provocation, then she would have lived in vain.

Xiao Jinglin's nature is free and easy, and she doesn't really care much about winning or losing today's Qianjin Banquet. It's just that Wu Yiyu's doing so made her feel a little sorry for all the thoughts her mother has spent on her these days, and for wasting Ren Yao's time to accompany her to practice the piano that time and energy.

Xiao Jinglin couldn't help but glanced at Wang Hao, the smile on Wang Hao's face faded a lot, she picked up the teacup and casually skimmed off the tea leaves.

The old princess squinted her eyes slightly, as if she was immersed in Wu Yiyu's piano sound and didn't notice the surrounding atmosphere. Xiao looked at his daughter with a slight smile, and tapped the tip of the index finger of his right hand lightly on the low table.

They didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with Wu Yiyu's behavior, but everyone in the palace knew about Xiao Jinglin's piano practice in the Yanbei palace, and even the woman who swept the floor in the palace knew that the princess only played that song every day .

Xiao Jinglin finally met Ren Yaoqi's worried eyes, she thought about it, and smiled comfortingly at Ren Yaoqi.

Ouyang Shi also frowned, but today's game was hosted by her, so she couldn't say anything. After all, as I said at the beginning, it is up to the ladies to show their talents what they want.

Wu Yiyu finally finished playing the piece.

In all fairness, Wu Yiyu played the piano well, at least compared to Xiao Jinglin, who was cramping for a while, her piano skills were much superior. If Xiao Jinglin still insisted on playing the song "Moon Full Guanshan", no matter how well she played, she would inevitably fall behind. Presumably this was Wu Yiyu's intention to play Xiao Jinglin's piece first.

Wu Yiyu got up and returned to her seat. When sitting down, she turned her body slightly and whispered in Xiao Jinglin's ear: "How am I playing?"

Xiao Jinglin turned her head and glanced at her, as if she was looking at an invisible ant, then turned her head without saying anything, and ignored her.

Xiao Jinglin has already decided not to play, although she may be a little bit unwilling in her heart.

Wu Yiyu's face turned cold when she was stimulated by her eyes, then she seemed to think of something, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"If you don't play, let alone today's leader, you won't even get one of the ten leaders, and then you will lose the face of the Yanbei Palace and the princess. Oh, I I forgot that Jingyuan still has the face of the Yanbei Palace, but it is not easy to restore the face of the princess. You don't care, and the princess doesn't care either?"

Xiao Jinglin continued to remain as still as a mountain. She knew that Wu Yiyu said this to provoke her anger and make her lose control of her anger in public. If she followed Wu Yiyu's wishes, she would be hopelessly stupid.

Although in her heart, Xiao Jinglin had silently greeted the eighteen generations of Wu Yiyu's ancestors one by one.

Seeing that no matter what she said, Xiao Jinglin didn't react at all, Wu Yiyu couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but she was still in a good mood waiting to watch the excitement.

Next, all the ladies came forward to perform their talents according to the order of their seats. This time, the seats were originally arranged according to the family status of the families, so no one has any objections. It was the girls of the Ren family who were in the higher order because they were specially taken care of by the concubine, which made them [excited]. Everyone knows that the higher the ranking, the greater the chance of winning the championship.

After Wu Yiyu, Yun Qiuchen, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, appeared. But Miss Yun had already won the top spot at the last Qianjin Banquet, and with Xiao Jinglin and the others present this time, Yun Qiuchen felt that she was just going through the motions, and retreated after writing a poem.

Su Fangfei, the eldest lady of the Su family, is also known to be both talented and beautiful, although she lost to Yun Qiuchen at the last Qianjin Banquet and got second place. This year, Miss Su performed two-handed calligraphy. When everyone circulated it after writing, Ren Yaoqi also took a look at it. Miss Su's left hand calligraphy should have been practiced in the past two years, although it looks similar After all, it lacked a bit of charm, but the right-hand characters were well written.
