And when they appeared, the queen had already received all the families of the beautiful women, the entire hall was already full of people, and the internal banquet was about to begin. . .supply
Today is divided into lunch and dinner.
The luncheon, also known as the inner banquet, is set up by the queen to receive all the female relatives.
In the afternoon, there will be a Hundred Flowers Poetry Contest.
In the final analysis, this poetry meeting is to find an opportunity for the female relatives to meet the male relatives, and the male relatives to meet the female relatives. Under the care of the empress, the princes, grandchildren and beautiful ladies of the right age will be in the imperial garden, surrounded by flowers. Topics, each other's poems, and each other's eyes.
After the poetry meeting, there will be a banquet in the evening. At the banquet, the court officials will also be present, and the emperor will also attend in person.
When one day passes, basically anyone who can fall in love will talk to the empress in private.
For all the show girls who can be engaged because of this, the queen will arrange for them to personally marry them on the official draft day two days later.
So today, it is equivalent to a large-scale blind date party, and the empress empress is both the host and the old man.
As for how Yuelao pulls the strings, it all depends on one being pleasing to the eye.
Girls who are pleasing to the eye can arrange a good marriage, and those who are not pleasing to the eye can only be casual.
That's why, under today's peaceful scene, there is no one knows how many rivalries are hidden.
Before the inner banquet started, the maids had already started to set the table and serve the dishes, and while the table was being set, the empress said: "I heard before that there are a few girls from this palace who plan to perform for me personally. Which families are the girls from?"
Below, came the laughter of the female relatives, and a certain imperial lady who sat at the front laughed and said, "Your Majesty the Queen will know if you look at it."
The queen looked at the lady, and asked with a smile: "It seems that Qilian from my aunt's family is also among them?"
Mrs. Gaoming held her handkerchief and smiled: "That silly girl Lian'er said that she prepared a song for the empress, saying that she would not see her on weekdays. This is a good opportunity, and the empress must see her filial piety. No, A while ago, I almost broke my hands after practicing. I said, I told her not to work too hard. My mother always loves her, so how can I not know her mind? But she is a stubborn person. She said she wanted to play, and she wanted to play. At least let her practice well, please ask the empress to listen carefully for a while, if it is not good, blame her in public, so that she will not come down."
What Mrs. Gao Ming said was very sweet, and the queen also laughed along the way: "Then if this palace is picky, Lian Er really shouldn't blame this palace for being strict?"
"As long as the mother scolds her, she is happy."
There was another laugh at the bottom.
At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo changed its tone. Outside the main hall below, a woman wearing a light green flowery palace dress and a golden tulle slowly walked in.
The woman's wide dress was embroidered with a red auspicious cloud pattern, and her jet-black hair was tied behind her head, forming a simple and clear bun, with a small red jade embellished on her forehead, and a lotus-like bow on her forehead. , Ping Ping Ting Ting, Ding Ding Dong Dong.
When Mrs. Gaoming saw this woman, she couldn't see her smiling eyes.
The woman walked to the front of the hall and gave a salute to the empress, and then some maids brought in long tables, benches, guqin, and even made arrangements for burning incense.
The food next to it is still slowly being served. Here, the woman has already lifted the hem of her skirt and sat on the bench. Ten slender fingers are placed on the top of the strings. With a light press of her fingers, the tight The strings of the piano pressed out a mark.
"What is Lian'er going to play?" the empress asked.
The woman's red lips were slightly raised, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and she said: "Go back to your mother, I am longing for you."
The empress was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Good song, then I will listen quietly."
The woman's cheeks were just flushed, her eyebrows were shining, her pale fingers gently touched the strings, and the tune of Sauvignon Blanc came out.
Liu Wei couldn't help looking at the Empress Empress. Ever since she knew that the girl was going to play Sauvignon Blanc, the smile on the Empress Empress's face hadn't faded. laugh.
As if seeing Liu Wei's confusion, Liu Yao snorted, and said rather proudly: "I don't know this, when the Empress and the Emperor first met, the Empress played a song of longing lovesickness for the emperor, and a song that shocked the emperor. Heaven and man, attracted the emperor's attention. This long-term lovesickness was later regarded as the royal song of love. Even when the empress chose the princess, the princess played this song in public, and some people said , this song was originally composed by the empress, it is elegant and profound, and it makes people never get tired of listening to it."
Liu Wei cast a slanted glance at Liu Yao, seeing Liu Yao's frightened face, raising her chin and looking at herself, she couldn't help but feel amused: "I don't want to know."
"you"
"cough."
The old lady coughed lightly to show her displeasure.
Liu Yao was extremely wronged, it was Liu Wei who provoked her, so why did grandma pick her up and blame her when she spoke
Liu Yao snorted and turned her head angrily.
It took a total of two sticks of incense to play a piece of Sauvignon Blanc, from the introduction to the end. After the end of the song, there was a series of applause immediately below.
Among them, the empress empress took the lead, and the drumming time was quite long.
Everyone knew now that Miss Qilian of the Lin family had the empress's favor.
In the side hall, many daughters who were adjusting the sound of the piano, heard the news from ahead, and someone immediately scolded: "That Lin Qilian, isn't it just because she is the empress's cousin, let her take the lead. , and even played the song I prepared, I was really pissed off, what kind of song should I temporarily change to?"
Yu Wenminxin was cleaning her pipa strings. She glanced at the woman holding the guqin with a displeased face, shook her head slightly, and turned her eyes away.
When I meet the queen, don't people always talk about this long lovesickness? This song has long been a designated song not passed on among the ladies.
This Miss Zhao's family is good, because Miss Lin's family played her front part, it became the song she prepared, but anyone who came to perform, who didn't prepare three or four alternatives, was afraid that the front one would take the lead. She wasn't prepared for it herself, so why would she have the nerve to blame others
But Yu Wen Minxin didn't want to cause trouble, and she didn't know how to say anything.
But the movement of shaking her head just now made the other party look at it.
The woman holding the guqin and wearing a bright purple dragging Qianshui skirt came over, stood in front of Wen Minxin, and snorted coldly: "Sister Yu Wen's eyes just now, what do you mean?"
Yu Wenminxin frowned, looked at the man, and managed to pull herself together: "What happened to me just now? Sister Zhao's misread it."
"I have nothing wrong with me, except that my eyes are very sharp. However, if my sister Yu Wen wants to say that my eyes are not good, my eyes are naturally very good, but my sister's eyes don't seem to be very good. Just now, what is the name of my sister and that one?" What's the matter, oh, by the way, Liu Wei, the eldest lady of the Liu family, seems to be very intimate? Then, from this close, sister Yu Wen can see clearly, is the face of that sister of the Liu family disfigured? "
