After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 300 The best substitute, the Queen chooses a concubine for Prince Heng?
The noble ladies below had already prepared their talents, hoping to dazzle everyone, but they did not expect that they would be overshadowed by a dancer who came from nowhere.
Seeing that the dancer danced so well, everyone thought that they would not have a chance to perform tonight. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said so, and they were eager to try...
Emperor Yonghui naturally would not offend the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile: "Then as the Queen Mother said, I wonder which noble lady is willing to show her talents?"
At this time, Wang Yueying took the initiative to volunteer: "I am willing to play a piece of music to inspire others..."
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Yueying.
She was dressed in white and had black hair. Under the candlelight, she looked very pitiful.
Wang Yueying was a famous talented woman in Kyoto. Seeing that she was the first to perform, and with the support of the Queen behind her, she naturally had no objection.
But when the Queen Mother saw that she was wearing a plain white dress and a hairpin made of pearls on her hair, her face changed immediately!
"Bold."
The usually amiable Queen Mother scolded him harshly, "You are dressed like this at my palace banquet. Who are you trying to annoy?"
At this time, everyone looked at Wang Yueying with strange eyes, and Wang Yueying noticed her mistake...
Today she only wanted to compete with Xiao Xuetang. After asking Ye Jin about Xiao Xuetang's dressing habits in the Marquis' Mansion, she intended to imitate him in order to attract Lin Xun's attention.
But I forgot that wearing a white dress on such an occasion is indeed not...appropriate.
The Queen Mother had just lost a move to Queen Wang and was very angry. She reprimanded Wang Yueying even more harshly.
These words made Wang Yueying, who had always been arrogant, have tears in her eyes. She stood there looking pitiful, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Even Emperor Yonghui felt a little reluctant, after all, he was the one who grew up with this child.
But the Queen Mother was still furious. She looked at the Queen with a half-smile and said, "The Wang family is really a good family, how could they raise such a daughter who is not presentable. Since the Queen is the head of the six palaces, she should also take good care of her niece, so as not to lose the face of the mother of a country."
The Queen also knew that the Queen Mother was deliberately taking her out on him, and she was furious. She looked at Wang Yueying standing there and said, "Go down quickly and change your clothes."
After all this, Wang Yueying finally ran away with her face covered, and glared at Xiao Xuetang before leaving.
If it weren't for Xiao Xuetang, she wouldn't have suffered such humiliation tonight. She would definitely ask Xiao Xuetang to get this debt back.
At this moment, the Queen Mother, who was in a high position, also glanced at Xiao Xuetang and suddenly said, "Xuetang's zither skills were taught by the Imperial Concubine herself. Even His Majesty praised your song "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" for its legacy. Why don't you play it for me?"
The Queen Mother had a kind smile on her face, like a Guanyin statue in a temple, but the look she gave Xiao Xuetang was like poison...
After all these years, her useless son is still thinking about that bitch Xie Wanyue!
When he was in the palace, Emperor Yonghui did not want to be saddened by the past, so he sealed up all the things related to Concubine Xie. He also hid his feelings for Concubine Xie.
But once he entered Jiufan Mountain, he was filled with this scene, and the people around him kept reminding Emperor Yonghui of Concubine Xie...
Emperor Yonghui was not a man with strong willpower to begin with. He felt like he was in a dream, and the suppressed longing in his heart was magnified.
So when Queen Wang arranged for Ruo Niang to dance just now, Emperor Yonghui seemed to have seen Concubine Xie back then. Since Queen Wang took the initiative to propose to confer the title of beauty on Ruo Niang, Emperor Yonghui went along with it.
Can……
No matter how similar Ruo Niang is, it's just in appearance. Among all the people present, who else looks more like Concubine Xie than Xiao Xuetang!
Her body still had blood similar to that of Concubine Xie...
Since the emperor wanted a substitute, she, as a mother who loved her son, chose the best substitute for him to relieve the emperor's homesickness.
As for Xiao Xuetang, is she already engaged?
This is not an important matter. The emperor is the Son of Heaven. All the people in the world should submit to him and everything belongs to him.
This is normal, isn't it.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the sharpness in her eyes, and looked at Xiao Xuetang with a look of pity and love.
As soon as these words came out, the entire inner hall fell silent instantly...
The Queen Mother deliberately compared Xiao Xuetang and Concubine Xie. Was it intentional or unintentional?
However, the Queen Mother had always been kind and had a good reputation, so no one thought much about it. Only Su, who understood the Queen Mother's character, felt like she was struck by lightning when she heard these words, and the next moment she wanted to smash the zither.
Emperor Yonghui had already drunk several glasses of wine at the banquet and did not notice the subtle atmosphere at the moment. His brain was idle for a while, and he followed the words of the empress dowager and said, "Okay..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Xuetang is not feeling well, so I will do it for you."
Before Emperor Yonghui could come back to his senses, Lin Xun had already sat down in front of the zither.
Xiao Xuetang was originally quite angry because of the Queen Mother's words, but when she saw Lin Xun's actions, the anger and disgust in her heart were instantly replaced by curiosity.
She only knew that Lin Xun was good at Kung Fu, and he could also play the piano?
It turns out that Lin Xun not only knows how to play the piano, but also has excellent skills in doing so.
However, what he played was not the lingering and graceful "Feng Qiu Huang", but "Lanling Prince Breaking the Formation Song".
As the sound of the piano began, the smell of swords and spears could be heard!
On this late autumn night, one felt a chill on the back. Even the tipsy ministers sobered up instantly, and there was a hint of subtlety in their gazes towards Lin Xun.
They hadn't heard such powerful and majestic music for a long time!
The wealth of Kyoto and the fine wines of Gagaku have penetrated into their bones, and the aristocratic families are all indulged in pleasure.
But Lin Xun's piano music awakened the bloodiness in their bones, and they seemed to see the ambition of Taizu when he unified the world.
Their hands holding the wine cups trembled slightly, as if they saw hope for Dayin's new life in Lin Xun.
Even the originally drowsy Emperor Yonghui, looking at Lin Xun's tall figure, shining brightly under the candlelight, said that such an outstanding grace was unmatched by any of his princes.
At this moment, my faith was shaken a little...
At this moment, Lin Shaoshu's expression was even uglier than before.
During this period of time, he tried his best to win people's hearts and recruit talented people, and tried his best to please Emperor Yonghui, but he was not as good as Lin Xun's piano playing?
He subconsciously looked at Mu Xingyun, only to see that Mu Xingyun was tightly gripping the wine glass, with the usual bright smile on his face fading.
Under the light and shadow, Mu Xingyun's jade-like face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking...
The song ended, and there was silence for a long time...
At this moment, the Queen Mother's heart-wrenching cough broke the silence.
Lin Xun glanced at the Queen Mother calmly and said, "The Queen Mother is not feeling well, please go down and rest.
The palace maids were frightened by Lin Xun. When they came to their senses, they had already helped the empress dowager down.
Xiao Xuetang noticed that there was blood on the handkerchief that the empress dowager used to cover her mouth. She was hurt by the sound of Lin Xun's piano just now.
But Xiao Xuetang had no sympathy and just felt that she deserved it!
Who made her do such immoral things at such an old age...
Seeing that the Queen Mother was not feeling well, Emperor Yonghui was not in the mood for today's banquet. When he was about to end the banquet, he heard the palace servants around the Queen Mother pass on a message: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is not feeling well. I'm afraid she can't host the Qushui Liuhu tomorrow. But choosing princesses for the princes is the most important thing, so everything is left to the Queen!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the inner hall had different expressions...
