Confused the world

Most of the court draftees are official ladies, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have become compulsory test questions.

The Empress Dowager looked at the beauties of Her Highness, if she said they were beautiful, the concubines beside her were also outstanding.It is not surprising that the women of His Highness dress up carefully for the selection of concubines.

Your Majesty is handsome, unmatched in the world.How many women want to enter the palace with their heads squeezed. Today, these women dress up like this because they hope that they can accompany the king.

One of the women in white was strange, her complexion was not very good.A little haggard, from the appearance, it can be seen that she should be recovering from a serious illness, and her face is even paler under the weight of the white dress.

Above the main hall, she was the only one who bowed her head, and her appearance was not particularly outstanding.The dress is very simple, a cyan hosta simply pulls up the ink hair.His eyes stared straight at his light green embroidered shoes, as if he was about to stare at a hole.

Liu Yihan finds it interesting, who is this woman, although she is not a shameless woman, she is also a small family jade, delicate and tight.

"Today, His Majesty chooses a concubine. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are compulsory questions. As long as you answer the questions carefully, you will be selected."

The Empress Dowager said to the ladies of Her Highness that if one person was selected, the name would already be on the list.

The girls listened carefully to every word the people in the hall said, for fear that they would miss a word.

"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, since the qin is the first, let's start with the qin art. Qin Huai ordered someone to bring the qin up."

They are particularly interested in the few people sitting on the main hall of Concubine Xuan.In the future, they will all serve the same king together, and this competition is inevitable.Being optimistic about one's enemies is also a strategy for survival in the harem.

The palace man took a piano and placed it in the center of the hall, and the atmosphere of the whole hall became tense at this moment.

"Come here one by one from left to right. If there are tricks, you will be immediately disqualified and kicked out of the palace."

There will always be people who cheat in every draft, and the Queen Mother knows the reason, and this time the concubine chooses to emphasize it.The tone does not allow people to refute, nor does it allow people to defy.

"The test begins."

Eunuch Qin announced the start of the competition. A pretty girl on the left was sitting on a stool with her slender fingers resting on the strings.It can be seen from the posture that this girl's piano skills are also very good.

After the girl tried the strings, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she started to play, and the tune was beautiful and touching. The story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman from the Western Han Dynasty in "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", every melody is played just right, and there is no fault.

Several women sitting above the main hall, heard this song and praised it again and again.If Lun is beautiful, this woman is the most outstanding among all the women.Dress elegantly and dignifiedly.One can tell at a glance that the woman's upbringing is very good.

The ten fingers and the strings are like bosom friends, and the coordination makes it impossible to pick out any flaws.The ups and downs of the tune express the emotions inside vividly.

After the song was over, there was an instant silence in the hall, and it took a long time before he realized that his eyes were full of admiration.

Emperor Renhui Huangfu Jingyan's expression didn't change at all, but there was approval in his eyes.

Mu Qingcheng could clearly see the changes in the expressions of everyone in the hall.She seems to be bowing her head, but those peach blossom eyes are like clairvoyance, wandering back and forth.

For the girl who plays the piano, I appreciate her talent very much.I am a person who loves the piano, and among the friends I know, there are very few people whose piano skills are comparable to this woman.

Her demeanor is elegant, even though she didn't listen to her words, judging by her external temperament and self-cultivation, she is also an extraordinary person.As for whether she is kind or not, she doesn't mind.This draft is rushing to lose, it is not known whether we can meet in the future.With this piano skill, this concubine must have her place.I don't want to enter the palace, let alone the meeting in the future.

"Girl, what's your name?"

The queen mother admired this woman very much, and asked her name out of curiosity.

"Li Yan, a daughter of the people, and her father is Li Ao, a mighty general."

Li Yan bent down to salute, her voice was like that of an oriole, it was melodious and fascinating.

"It turned out to be the daughter of General Li. Your father made countless military exploits for the Huangfu Dynasty. It is unexpected that his daughter has such talents. It is really impressive."

Li Ao was the general of the Huangfu Dynasty, commanding nearly 100 million soldiers, and his military exploits were also remarkable.It is natural for the Queen Mother to appreciate it, but Li Ao and King Yixin are very close, which makes people a little worried.

"You go down first, the game continues."

Maybe it's because Li Yan played it so well, and none of those girls could do it well. Everyone just listened to the music carefully. As for the music they played, except for Li Yan's "Phoenix Qiuhuang", few of them remembered which one was the best. Excellent.

This competition lasted for nearly an hour, and at this moment there was only the last woman in white, and she was the third miss of the Mu family, Mu Qingcheng.

The people listening to the music in the main hall are a little tired, and no one is willing to listen to the music attentively.Those who drink tea drink tea, bow their heads and whisper and bite their ears.

After sitting and standing for a long time, the queen mother was also a little sleepy.Ever since Li Yan played it, the next songs are boring and make people sleepy.

Looking at the last woman in white who was not particularly good-looking, but rather haggard, I felt an indescribable liking in my heart.I didn't look carefully at first, but now I saw that although this woman was not outstanding, she had an indescribable aura on her body, which made people feel distressed.

"Girl, what's your name?"

"Mu Qingcheng, the daughter of the people, is the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Mu."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall looked at him in unison.The expression is curious, surprised, and puzzled.

With so many eyes looking at him, Mu Qingcheng knew that he had said something wrong.Those people looked at themselves as if they were rare animals, and they were terrified.

I also cursed myself fiercely in my heart: Why did I blew up my family, this time I didn't want to attract attention, and because this sentence became the focus.

"Are you the daughter of Prime Minister Mu? I heard that you fainted, how are you doing now?"

The queen mother really did not expect that such an unremarkable woman was actually the daughter of Mu Wei, the most talented man in the world.Mu Wei has the title of handsome man, and his wife Yin Yuehua is also the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, but the beauty of their youngest daughter is really inconspicuous.The eldest son of the Mu family and the second young lady are also handsome men and beautiful women, but how come this third young lady has nothing but a sick and delicate appearance.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern, Minnv's health is getting better."

Mu Qingcheng still bowed her head to answer, when the queen mother asked, she used "better" instead of "no serious problem" or other words.

She is clearly in good health, and she said this just to make everyone think that the third lady of the Mu Mansion is really a sick person.

Mu Qingcheng gritted her teeth in anger when she thought of the fact that she fainted because of choosing a concubine a month ago.I used to be a little curious and fond of the person wearing the yellow robe sitting on that hall.The moment he ordered him to enter the palace, he had hated him countless times.

Huangfu Jingyan could feel a pair of eyes looking at him with displeasure, and after searching carefully, it turned out to be the third young lady of the Mu family.Those eyes that were enough to burn me were really funny.

Does she have to hate herself like this?Last time when he returned to the palace from Mu Mansion, Qin Huai told himself about the situation of the third lady of Mu Mansion. It was really interesting to see her today.

"You're going to play the tune next, and you stood there for an hour, how are you doing?"

For the sake of Mu Wei's face, the queen mother should pay more attention to the third lady.

"It's nothing serious, thank you Queen Mother for your concern. Minnv is going to participate in the competition now."

Mu Qingcheng walked to the front of the piano and sat down with small steps.With that weak appearance, not many people present would be optimistic about her.

His ten fingers, as white as snow, rest on the strings, and he hasn't touched the piano for a long time.Mu Qingcheng really misses it very much. Dongxue took care of Duyouqin, and she couldn't play the piano at all. She begged several times, but Dongxue refused on the grounds that she hadn't recovered yet.Relying on this opportunity to choose a concubine today, I will play a good song.Suddenly it occurred to me that I couldn't be too good.As soon as the eyes rolled, the plan came from the heart.

The piano music is played slowly, and the music is melodious.Sometimes it is pleasant to the body and mind, and sometimes it is passionate and surging. When everyone is listening to it, there is only a "boom", and the strings are shortened into two strands.

Seeing this situation, Mu Qingcheng got up quickly, knelt down in a panic, and said in a panicked voice.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the famous lady didn't break this guqin on purpose, the commoner girl deserves to die. Please, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty will punish you."

The two masters in the main hall looked at the third miss of the Mu family who was terrified there, and didn't know what to say.This reflects too fast.As soon as the strings broke, she behaved like this, as if on purpose.

"It's just a guqin, why are you guilty? Don't blame yourself, I will send someone to get another one, you just go ahead."

Huangfu Jingyan's voice was a little cold. It was already summer in May, but he couldn't find any warmth on his body, and it could freeze people to death.

"Your Majesty, the body of a civilian girl is indeed not suitable for continuing to play the piano, please forgive me."

Continue to play the piano?Mu Qingcheng will not continue foolishly.Given the chance to quit, she must seize it.

"Since you can't continue, let's continue with the second game—chess. The two players on your left and right will play against each other. The winner will continue to play, and the loser will watch from the sidelines."

Huangfu Jingyan thinks that this Li Yan is not simple, and this third Miss of the Mu family doesn't seem to be an easy-going lamp either.Although her dress and manners are not particularly outstanding, her eyes that wander back and forth are like the eyes of a fox, very cunning.I can see clearly every little move of hers.This person is observing the situation, and she can adjust her emotions according to the changes in other people's faces.

It wasn't such a coincidence that the piano was disconnected, it was a priceless famous piano.Strings and everything, I have tried it myself.How could it be broken so easily?

Just now she reacted a little too quickly, the strings broke, and she kowtowed to apologize immediately, without even a chance to buffer.What is it?

Asking her to continue playing the piano, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, how could this look be that of a sick and delicate young lady, it was so sharp that it could kill, and even the emperor himself.

When Mu Qingcheng heard about the situation of the competition, he also suspected that the emperor was deliberately embarrassing himself.I am on the far right, isn't that talented girl Li Yan on the far left?

That woman is not easy to deal with at first glance, and I won't gain any advantage by competing with her.

Emperor Renhui ordered someone to fetch the chessboard, and all those who participated in the competition chose their seats and sat down.

Mu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman opposite. She had seen this beautiful woman a lot, but the woman opposite had a special temperament, which made people not happy.

"Girl please, can you hold the white piece?"

Mu Qingcheng spoke first, she just wanted to quickly end this boring draft.Going home and sleeping well is the happiest thing.

"Okay, Miss Namu please."

Li Yan Zhibai raised her hand politely and told Mu Qingcheng to go first.

"Thank you, Ms. Li, for your humility. Then I won't be polite."

It was Mu Qingcheng who would not be courteous back and forth, picked up the sunspot and started to play.

At the beginning of the game, the two were at odds with each other, but in the end, the two kept circling, and the other participating women had already finished their competitions, and they were watching from the sidelines.Here she is fighting in full swing.

Li Yan wanted to eat a few more coins, but Mu Qingcheng, who was on the opposite side, didn't even have a single more coin.This game of chess was played for half an hour, and it ended with Mu Qingcheng losing half of the pieces.

After the match was over, Li Yan knew that Mu Qingcheng did this on purpose.She wanted to lose to herself, but her chess skills were actually superior to hers, but she didn't understand why Miss Mu was like this.

In the remaining rounds, Li Yan won in the end.This person played the piano well, and his chess skills were top-notch, and everyone in the hall admired him.

Here only Huangfu Jingyan doesn't think so, Mu Qingcheng's piano skills are not bad, it should be said to be better than Li Yan.She broke the strings on purpose, just to make herself abstain from the round.

In this chess game, after playing for half an hour, the final result was to lose half of the pieces.This is not something ordinary people can do, this woman is interesting, this is Huangfu Jingyan's first thought.
