At this moment, a woman's voice was suddenly heard, "No, on the contrary, the Emperor's heavenly family is majestic. Miss Zhang's family was shocked when she saw the Emperor for the first time, so she fell down in excitement."
The emperor followed the sound and saw a woman standing in the middle on the right, saying calmly.
Seeing that when she looked at him, she didn't dodge or evade, and didn't show the slightest hint of coyness like other women. The emperor couldn't help but feel good about her, and said kindly, "What a majestic Tian family. I remember you. You are Shen Yuming's daughter."
"Your Majesty, you are my daughter." Shen Jing smiled softly, bowed, and sat down again.
This little episode passed quickly, but when no one was around, Shen Jingci exchanged glances with the maid behind her.
Zhang Xiuyan walked off the stage dejectedly and was helped back to her seat by the girl. Her eyes stared at Xie Ruzhuo as if they were quenched with poison. If it hadn't been for her just now, she wouldn't have made a fool of herself!
However, if she carefully examines her shoes at this time, she will find that the originally rough soles have been smeared with a slippery substance at some point.
Seeing that the people performing talents on the stage were all mediocre, Xie Ruyin tried hard to suppress her excitement, but she couldn't help clenching her fists.
Not to mention the two princes present, the princes and nobles are also young, talented and graceful men! Thinking of Xie Ruyin's beautiful face, she must show her best side in the talent show later. She must dominate the audience and find a good future for herself!
However, before that, she needed to make sure of one thing.
"Fourth sister, what are you going to perform later?"
Hearing Xie Ruyin's innocent question, Xie Ruzhuo turned to look at her, and happened to see a hint of cunning that he had not had time to hide.
Xie Ruzhuo seemed as if he hadn't seen him, he just smiled with an unknown meaning and said, "Painting."
Hearing this, Xie Ruyin's face suddenly changed. She said, "Well, the painting is good. The fourth sister is really versatile." As she said that, she reached out to get the snack, but accidentally dropped the snack on the ground.
Xie Rulan snorted disdainfully and said, "Have you never seen anything to eat? You are so petty when it comes to eating. Those born from a concubine are born from a concubine!"
Xie Ruyin didn't say anything, but Xie Rufei's expression changed. Today, Xie Ruyun also came with her. Xie Ruyue's pole hit all the concubines of the Xie family. Xie Ruyun must have felt uncomfortable.
She glanced back at the taciturn elder sister, but she didn't say anything. To be honest, she actually vaguely agreed with Xie Rulan's words, but she couldn't say it out loud because it sounded so ugly.
When Mrs. Lu saw this, she just pretended that she didn't hear her daughter's words and continued to look between the noble sons. Although Xie Rulan's marriage has been settled now, it is still uncertain since it has not been finalized. If only there was a better way out...
Xie Ruyun's expression didn't even change. She just quietly stretched out her hand, held Xie Ruyin's hand, and said softly, "Sixth sister, are you nervous?" The sixth sister is particularly fond of her.
Xie Ruyin shook her head and said, "No." After saying that, she calmly withdrew her hand and took another piece of cake.
Xie Rufei asked gossiping, "Ruyin, what talent are you going to perform today?"
This time, Xie Ruyin didn't even open her mouth and only focused on eating the refreshments in front of her.
Xie Rufei didn't get the answer, curled her lips in boredom, and turned to look at Jiang Qinglan who was performing in the center.
Jiang Qinglan performed a set of swordsmanship today, and her dashing and heroic posture as she moved through the clouds and flowing water, unsurprisingly captivated a group of young men.
Looking at the soft yet strong woman in the center, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but smile. I hope her friend can always be so free and easy.
But she didn't expect that at this moment, a figure flashed in front of her, and then she saw a girl lying straight on the ground in front of her. And all the tea in the maid's hand was poured on Xie Ruzhuo.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, fourth sister, are you okay?"
Before Xie Ruzhuo could react, he saw Xie Ruyin running over with a frightened look on her face, and began to apologize as if she was about to cry.
The girl lying on the ground was also helped up by Jiang Zhu. It was Xie Ruyin's personal maid, Xiang Qin.
The Xie family's position is relatively forward. If something happens at this time, it will inevitably attract the attention of the people above. Concubine Xian spoke first and asked with concern, "What happened?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the maid accidentally broke the teacup. Please ask the Emperor to atone for her sin. I have to change my clothes." Xie Ruzhuo made a decision immediately and said with an apologetic look. You can go home and deal with the dirty tricks here, but the Xie family must not start internal strife in front of the emperor!
Hearing this, the emperor secretly admired her stability, but did not speak. However, Concubine Ye saw the emperor's eyes and said with a smile, "In that case, go and change your clothes. It's freezing out here, don't catch a cold."
"My daughter has met the noble concubine." Xie Ruzhuo bowed respectfully and then slowly exited the hall. And those who were looking at the good show couldn't help but put away their contempt after seeing her calm eyes.
Xiao Junhan originally disliked Xie Ruzhuo for being embarrassed, but after seeing the look in her eyes, he couldn't help but change his contempt for surprise. In his impression, Xie Ruzhuo should act recklessly regardless of the occasion when encountering something like this. When did she become so considerate of the overall situation
Mrs. Qiao was worried about Xie Ruzhuo, and Xie Ruyue couldn't let go even more. Before Qiao could speak, Xie Ruyue hurriedly followed Xie Ruzhuo.
The changing area was right next to it. As soon as Xie Ruzhuo entered, he saw Xie Ruyue sneaking in.
"I said Xie Ruyue, before you come in next time, could you please take a look at what I am doing?" Although Xie Ruzhuo said this, the movements of his hands did not stop. After taking off his middle coat, he Remove the lining.
Xie Ruyue sneered and said, "I'm not a man, what are you afraid of?" After saying that, he took the clothes she wanted to change from Jiang Zhu's hand and asked Jiang Zhu to guard outside.
Xie Ruzhuo did not refuse and changed out the dirty clothes with Xie Ruyue's help.
After seeing the water stains on it, Xie Ruyue immediately frowned and remembered the purpose of her visit, "Are you stupid? You don't even know how to dodge when such a big person comes to pour tea on you?"
Earlier, when Xie Ruyin said she wanted to drink tea and asked Xiangqin to pour it elsewhere, she felt something was wrong. But at that time, Xie Ruyue never expected that Xie Ruyin would dare to take advantage of Xie Ruzhuo!
The most irritating thing is that Xie Ruzhuo had no defense at all and was inexplicably splashed with water and soiled his clothes!
"How do you know she did it on purpose?" Xie Ruzhuo put the rouge on his face again, then Shi Shiran said, "Maybe it was an unintentional mistake."
"Are you stupid? You say it was an unintentional mistake. Even if you beat me to death, I won't believe it!" Xie Ruyue sat next to her angrily and carefully combed her messy hair. What she said was not polite at all, "This Xie Ruyin is not very young, but she is very thoughtful. There must be someone behind this that was instigated by the Liu family! Humph, none of the three of them have a clean mind!"
Xie Ruzhuo looked at her indignant look in amusement. After arranging her hair, he held Xie Ruyue's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my heart."
As soon as she finished saying this, she saw Pearl running over from outside in a slight panic, panting heavily, "Second Miss, Fourth Miss, it's bad, Sixth Miss is painting!"
"If she wants to paint, just do it. Why don't you come and say this... wait, what is she painting?" Xie Ruyue was halfway through her words when she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked with a frown.
Sure enough, Pearl looked at Xie Ruzhuo in embarrassment, and then said, "Miss Sixth painted the painting of Falling Snow and Winter Plum Blossoms that Miss Four once painted!"
"This little hoof! See if I don't peel her skin off!"
Xie Ruyue had a bad temper. After hearing these words, she couldn't help but rushed out, but was stopped by Xie Ruzhuo.
"You called me stupid just now, are you stupid now? Don't forget who is sitting outside!"
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo's words came out, Xie Ruyue regained some sense. She clenched her hands fiercely and gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, if she can, don't come back to the house, otherwise, I want her to look good!"
Saying that, Xie Ruyue said worriedly, "What will you do later?"
This Luoxue Hanmei was a talent prepared by Xie Ruzhuo. Now that Xie Ruyin has used it, she can't use it anymore. In this way, wouldn't she be embarrassed at the daughter's banquet
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo smiled softly and said, "Is this all I can do?"
When she returned to the banquet, Xie Ruyin had finished her talent show, and Xie Rufei on the stage was composing poetry. She is not very old, her childish voice still has a bit of softness that belongs to a woman, and her water-melody song also won the house.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo appear, Zhang Xiuyan immediately spoke sarcastically, "When it came time for the Xie family girls to perform their talents, you two avoided it. Could it be that your skills are too poor to show off?"
Xie Ruzhuo only glanced at her coolly and did not speak. He waited until Xie Rufei finished her performance before standing up and saying, "My lord is late, I hope your Majesty and your Majesty will forgive me."
Concubine Ye smiled and said, "No problem, what are you going to perform today?"
Xie Ruyue took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Today, my daughter is holding the piano, and my sister is dancing with me. The two of us sisters are sharing our talents. I wish our country good weather and may our people be safe and peaceful!"
After the emperor said hello, a maid brought up the harp. Xie Ruyue sat behind the harp and tried a few tones. The smile on her face disappeared and she looked elegant.
As soon as the sound sounded, those who knew the piano immediately exclaimed, "This, this is not..."
"The phoenix dances for nine days!"
An old man stroked his beard and sighed, "I have been looking forward to it for most of my life, but I never expected that the piano saint's perfect sound can be heard here!"
At that time, the piano saint and his wife had a deep love for each other. One of them played the piano and the other danced together. It became a legend for a while. After the death of Lady Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng played a phoenix dance in front of her grave for nine days, then retired to the mountains and never touched the piano again for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, today, a young woman actually played this piece of music. Judging from her accomplishments, she was even slightly inferior to the piano sage!
For a moment, the hall was filled with admirations, but when another woman appeared from one side of the hall, everyone was silent again.
She wore a red dance dress like a bright flame, spinning into the center of the hall, then fluttering her sleeves and dancing. Every dance step was like a drumbeat, stepping on people's hearts.
If people were still amazed before, now they were all shocked deep into their hearts by the beauty in front of them.
This dance is the phoenix dance for nine days!
