Chapter 1175 Talent Show (1)
?
It's hot in July, even early in the morning.
While the other show girls were preparing for the upcoming talent show, Huang Siling and Yin Jiajia went to the kitchen.
It took a quarter of an hour for the two of them to make two dishes of cold salad, which were shredded seaweed and cucumber in vinegar.
When the cold dishes were ready, Yin Jiajia smiled and said to Huang Siling, "Thank you, sister Siling."
Huang Siling said with a smile: "In case the empress wants you to do it in front of everyone later, just follow the steps I taught you before. Don't be afraid even if you don't do well, the empress and the prince will only do it. I thought you were too nervous." She taught Yin Jiajia for three days and learned all the steps, but the cold salad she made just didn't taste right. There was no other way, she had to do it for her.
Yin Jiajia smiled and said, "Okay."
Gao Haiqiong breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them enter the house: "I'm going to Kunning Palace soon, change into your clothes quickly." The two got up early in the morning to toss and toss, sweating all over in such a hot day.
Fortunately, Gao Haiqiong had fetched water, and the two of them quickly changed their clothes after wiping their lower bodies with the water.
At this time, everyone else had already arrived in the yard, and only the three of them were left.
The nanny in charge didn't scold anyone. It's not that her temper has improved, but that the concubine selection this time is different from the past. Not only to choose the crown princess, but also to choose concubines for the three little princes. Now there are only thirteen people left, and each show girl has nearly a quarter of the probability of being selected. In case she is scolded so badly now that she gets jealous, when the three of them are selected in the future, she will not be able to bear the blame.
Among the thirteen show girls, only Yin Jiajia brought a snack box, she was so conspicuous in a group of people. However, with Yin Jiajia's conditions, she would definitely not be able to become a crown princess, even a prince concubine would not be enough, so the other beautiful girls did not have deep hostility towards her.
On the way to Kunning Palace, most of the others lowered their heads, only Yin Jiajia, Huang Siling, and Gao Haiqiong watched the scenery of the palace openly.
Yin Jiajia whispered to Gao Haiqiong: "It's so beautiful." The carved beams and painted buildings are more beautiful than paintings.
Huang Siling shook his head beside him, indicating that it is not appropriate to speak here. Looking at the buildings here can be said to be curious, but chatting on the road, this is no rule.
Among the buildings in the harem, the Kunning Palace occupies the largest area. There are 9 corridors with a wide surface and 3 corridors with a depth of 3, with yellow glazed tiles and double eaves on the roof.
The nanny in charge stood at the gate of Kunning Palace, and handed over Xiunu to Mei Lan who was standing at the gate.
Mei Lan said with a smile: "During this time, you have worked hard, mama." So many moths have happened during this time, the nanny in charge is also worried.
The nurse in charge did not dare to answer this, and said respectfully: "This is the duty that this old slave should fulfill." This is the empress's confidant, so he can't afford to offend her.
Thirteen beautiful girls walked into the banquet hall of Kunning Palace one by one. The hall is very spacious and can accommodate a hundred people. Walking into the hall, everyone lowered their heads involuntarily.
Mei Lan raised her voice and said, "The Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and the beautiful girls are all here."
Even if they were curious in their hearts, no one dared to look up at this time. It is not easy to get to where we are today, and no one wants to lose the opportunity at the last minute. Even Yin Jiajia didn't look up.
Yuxi looked at the beautiful girls who were all bowing their heads, and said with a smile: "Raise your heads. How can I see them all bowing their heads?" Her understanding of these girls was limited to words. Honestly, almost never saw it.
After hearing this, all the show girls raised their heads.
Tan Aoshuang and Yuxi had met before, but Ye Anrou and Zhong Wanting had never met before. Therefore, looking at the two of them, he stayed for three more seconds. Sure enough, as everyone said, one is cold and the other is bright.
And all the show girls are basically attracted by Qi Hao.
Today Qihao was wearing a black golden dragon and python robe, a purple gold crown on his head, and instead of a pouch and jade pendant, he was wearing a sword. The face is like a crown of jade, the eyebrows are like ink dyed, and the eyes are as deep as the sea and can't see to the bottom.
Qi Hao was already very imposing, but with such a dress today, the king of the world will become even more imposing.
"Plop, plop..." Zhong Wanting felt her heart was about to jump out.
Tan Aoshuang glanced at Qi Hao, blushed and lowered her head. The powder fist concealed by the wide sleeve corners revealed her nervous and excited mood.
Yin Jiajia was also staring blankly, it was the first time she had seen such a handsome and imposing man.
When Huang Siling saw Qihao, he felt that it was indeed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was expected by all the civil and military officials. At such a young age, he already had the aura to rule the world. No matter how much thought she has, she is gone.
Gao Haiqiong glanced at Qihao, then looked around and found that there was no one else, feeling a little puzzled. Didn't it mean that in addition to choosing the crown princess, you also have to choose the prince concubine! Why are the other two princes not here!
Among the beautiful girls present, Ye Anrou had the strangest attitude. When he saw Qihao, he first looked in disbelief, then he was overjoyed, and then he looked very annoyed.
Yu Xi was a little surprised when she saw Ye Anrou's appearance. Seeing Ye Anrou like this, it's obvious that she met Qi Hao and secretly agreed. I don't know when this girl met Qi Hao.
However, Yuxi quickly let go of this idea, and smiled at everyone: "You draw lots first, and show off your talents in the order in which you are drawn." Simple and direct, without a word of nonsense.
The maid brought a tray with thirteen red bookmarks on it. In order of priority, let them draw lots.
The number one draw was An Ningdie, the youngest daughter of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, she also looked calm when she got number one, without any panic. Huang Siling is No. 2, Zhong Wanting is No. 6, Tan Aoshuang is No. 9, Yin Jiajia is No. 10, No. 12 is Ye Anrou, and the last one is Gao Haiqiong.
After drawing lots, Mei Lan said, "Let's begin!"
An Ningdie played the pipa with the pipa. What's interesting is that the little girl recited while playing.
The song was beautiful to the ear, and it was full of emotion when it was recited. In the end, the little girl was so engrossed that she had tears in her eyes.
After playing, Yu Xi nodded: "Very good." Although it is not perfect, it is not easy to reach this level at such a young age.
Number two is Huang Siling, she chooses to play chess. It's not playing chess with others, but playing against yourself.
It takes a long time to play go, so Yuxi asked Huang Siling to go to the side and be guarded by palace people who know chess. Other people's competition, continue. If you had to wait for Huang Siling, you would definitely not be able to finish it all morning.
Qihao felt that this girl was interesting, she was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and her expression was very calm when facing him, unlike other women whose eyes were so hot that they seemed to want to swallow him up. So when I saw her playing chess quietly beside her, I couldn't help but take another look.
Zhong Wanting, who had been paying attention to Qi Hao's demeanor, clenched her fists. She has always regarded Tan Aoshuang as a strong enemy, but she did not expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway.
Number four performed the dance. The girl danced very attentively, and her whole mind was completely integrated into it. Dancing on this hot day, my face was sweaty after dancing, and my body was also wet.
"Very beautiful, very talented." After a few words of praise, Yuxi asked someone to take her down to change clothes.
Soon it was Zhong Wanting's turn. Zhong Wanting plays the piano, and what she plays is very difficult mountains and rivers.
Yuxi smiled and nodded: "It's played well." The technique is pure, and the playing is also very smooth. However, not everyone can bring out the essence of this song.
Zhong Wanting secretly glanced at Qihao, seeing that he didn't give her an extra look, she felt disappointed and sad all the time.
Tan Aoshuang chooses calligraphy, and Li Bai's is about to drink. She did not write with a single stroke, but opened her left and right hands, and wrote block letters with her left hand and cursive script with her right hand. Like An Ningdie, she wrote and recited at the same time.
When Yuxi hears Tan Aoshuang chanting Wuhuama Qianjinqiu, Hu'er will exchange fine wine. , couldn't help laughing.
A smile appeared on Qi Hao's face. It seems that Tan Tuo has worked hard on this granddaughter. You know, Yuxi's favorite poem is Li Bai's "Jiangjinjiu". But very few people know about it.
Writing with both hands and reciting aloud are also very laborious. The last stroke fell, and then the recitation was finished. But on such a hot day, even writing and reciting aloud, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. But Tan Aoshuang didn't wipe his sweat, but bowed to Yuxi and Yunqing.
Yuxi chose Tan Aoshuang, so she naturally wanted to make a face for her: "Meilan, show me Miss Tan's handwriting." Writing with both hands at the same time is not something ordinary people can do. Few people know that she can write with both hands.
After reading it, Yu Xi turned her head and handed the two pieces of paper to Qi Hao and said, "What do you think?"
Qihao took it over and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Soft yet firm, elegant and beautiful, it is pleasing to the eye." This is already a very high evaluation.
Tan Aoshuang's face was a little red, and Fu Xia bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."
Zhong Wanting was extremely jealous when she heard this, but she still maintained a decent smile on her face.
Although Zhong Wanting concealed it well, she still couldn't escape Yu Xi's eyes.
Next came Yin Jiajia. She said sincerely: "My empress, my daughter-in-law doesn't have any special talent, she can barely make ends meet in cooking. So my daughter-in-law made two cold dishes, and I hope the empress and His Royal Highness can like them."
A court lady tried it first, and after a while Yuxi picked up the silver chopsticks and took a bite. After eating, Yu Xi nodded with a smile and said, "It's cool and delicious, very good."
Seeing that Qihao didn't eat, Yin Jiajia felt a little disappointed: "Thank you, Empress, for your compliment."
Yu Xi put down her chopsticks, and asked with a smile, "Why do you think of making cold salad?"
Yin Jiajia raised her head and showed a bright smile: "It's going to be hot, let's make two cold dishes. I hope the empress and His Royal Highness will feel refreshed after eating it." Unfortunately, His Royal Highness didn't eat it.
Yuxi smiled when she heard this, and said, "What a clever girl."
Yin Jiajia was very happy to be praised. What made Yin Jiajia even more happy was that His Royal Highness actually smiled because of the empress's praise.
