Chapter 760 Concubine Selection (6)
When Nangong Yue turned her head, she happened to see the third prince Han Lingfu in the front right. His gaze fell behind her, focused and deep...
Nangong Yue could guess who he was looking at without looking back, and the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch slightly. Without her own "obstacle" in this life, I wonder if they could come together as deeply in love as Haiti.
Unconsciously, the group walked to a lotus pond. The green lotus leaves almost covered most of the water surface, and the small white water lotuses were blooming in the pond.
The queen smiled and said, "Now that the sun is starting to rise, why don't we go to the Lotus Pavilion for a little rest?"
Everyone naturally did not dare to respond. As the Queen entered the lotus pavilion by the lotus pond, they saw the carved columns and columns in the pavilion.
The queen sat at the top, and the others took their seats one by one according to their identities.
The third prince Han Lingfu's eyes swept across Nangong Tsang lightly, and finally fell on Bai Muxiao, who was sitting at the bottom of the female guest seat. She saw that her head was in a simple and refreshing bun with only a pair of pomegranate beads on her head. , Among the well-dressed women, it looks very fresh and pleasant. Although she sat in the bottom seat, she straightened her waist without being arrogant and calm.
Han Lingfu couldn't help but complimented inwardly, with a good bearing.
After the maid had finished serving the tea, snacks, melons and fruits, and rested for a while, the queen said again: "Since it is rare to see lotus in this season, and it is such a good place to admire lotus, why don't you take the topic of lotus today, ladies or write a poem? , or painting, or playing the piano, whatever, how about performing?"
The girls instantly understood the Queen's intentions, which was to let them show their talents in front of several princes and clan children, so they were all shy and eager to try.
The palace maid brought a purple bamboo basket and asked the girls to draw lots one by one so that they could perform in order. As for Nangong Yue, she has already made an appointment, so she won't do anything more.
The first performer was Miss Li from the Imperial Censor's Mansion. I saw her walking forward gracefully and sitting behind the qin desk, and said, "Empress Empress, ladies and gentlemen, that minister will show her ugliness first."
Miss Li played a piece of "Lotus Picking Song", her piano skills are obviously not mentioned, the piano sound is graceful, smooth and pleasant, the image of a lotus picking girl is vividly displayed in front of everyone through her piano sound.
After listening to this, the queen nodded again and again, and when Miss Li finished the song, she praised, "It's a good play, it's a reward." A palace maid presented a pair of Bilian hairpins.
Miss Li thanked the Queen for her reward with joy, and returned to her seat.
The second performer was Jiang Yixi. She wrote a large "lotus" character in public, with elegant fonts and a free and easy atmosphere.
Jiang Yixi's performance was obviously a bit perfunctory, and the concubines and concubines became more and more certain of their previous judgments.
The queen smiled and rewarded her niece with a pair of lotus bead hairpins.
After that, there were several other girls who performed some performances, mainly focusing on calligraphy, painting and qin music. Although there was nothing special about them, they were quite remarkable, and the queen also rewarded them one by one.
Finally it was Bai Muxiao's turn. As soon as she came on stage, Han Lingfu looked at her with a burning gaze, as if she could no longer see anyone else.
Concubine Zhang's eyes also fell on Bai Muxiao. At the last feast, the cousin from Nangong Mansion did well, so even the emperor praised the three emperors.
Bai Muxiao sat calmly behind the piano desk, and said loudly, "Empress Empress, ladies and gentlemen, the people are also playing "Lotus Picking Song"."
