Red Mansion is so good I want to cry

With all the bigwigs in the palace here, the beauty pageant can officially begin.

Jia Xiaoniu glanced at the Bean Sprouts who had come over ahead of time, Bean Sprouts nodded, and quickly sent a start signal to the opposite side through the microphone made of bamboo cups.

Put a thick cotton thread between two bamboo cups to make the simplest microphone.Jia Xiaoniu knew a thing or two about this kind of gadget, so she made it in advance and experimented a few times. After finding that the effect was very good, she used it in this beauty pageant.

On their main building side, Dou Miao delivered orders, and on the other side of the stage, Dou Miao stood in a corner of the stage and was responsible for receiving information.In this way, there is no need for the little eunuch or the little maid to run back and forth to pass on the message.

Of course, just in case, Jia Xiaoniu also asked someone to make a messenger.A wire and a two-way transmission mechanism were pulled in the main building and the stage in advance, and a few more notes were written for backup.If there is something you don't understand, pass a note over there.It is also very convenient to come and go.

After Dou Miao received the opening order, she turned her head and gave the order to a little maid next to her.After listening to the little maid, she repeated it very fast, and after Doumiao nodded to confirm that it was correct, she ran to the backstage to tell Qingwen.

Of course, it is only at the opening that the little palace maid is needed to help spread the news. After the opening, Qingwen will stand with Doumiao, and there is no need to go back to the back when she comes out later.

However, this little palace lady needs to run back and forth in front of and behind the stage to inform the next contestant that she is going to go on stage or something.

"Qingwen is still so hot today~".After receiving the opening instructions, Qingwen took a deep breath, cheered herself up and walked out from the curtain behind the stage.

Holding a big brass trumpet that was about the size of her face but longer than a baby's arm, Qingwen was wearing a performance costume that Jia Xiaoniu specially asked people to throw out. As soon as she stepped onto the stage, she was amazed and attracted everyone's attention.

Because of the rehearsal, before Qingwen came on stage, the band in the palace played a piece of passionate opening music hummed softly by Jia Xiaoniu.

However, because Jia Xiaoniu's music knowledge is not very rich, Jia Xiaoniu hummed the climax part of the yyj march very shamelessly.

Arise, you who would not be slaves...

Fortunately, Jia Xiaoniu just hummed the song and didn't sing the lyrics together, otherwise things would be serious.

Is the nineteenth concubine planning to rebel~

(→_→)

As the music fell, Qingwen's crisp voice came from the brass speakers.

The empress and the seven concubines participated in this part of the script, so when Qingwen read it, it didn't feel new.

What made them feel fresh was the order of the meeting placed on the table in front of them and the resumes of all the players who participated in the knockout round today.

Not only do they have these things, but the queen and Jia Xiaoniu each have their own.

They are located in the main building where the judges sit in the front row, while the queen and Jia Xiaoniu sit in the back row of the judges.

Of course, in order not to let the judges sitting in front block the view of the queen, and some kind of unspeakable social situation.Jia Xiaoniu deliberately asked someone to find a wooden platform with a height of two steps and put it behind.

The queen's phoenix chair was placed on that platform, two heads higher than the judges.And because Jia Xiaoniu had to tell the queen about the progress from time to time, she got the honor of placing a chair beside the queen.

Qingwen first made some remarks, then reiterated the rules of this competition, and then grandly introduced the seven judges this time.Then the end of the opening remarks is to thank the Ministry of Internal Affairs for its sponsorship and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Dining Room for their strong support.After that, the beauty pageant officially began.

Coincidentally, the first person to appear on the stage was Jia Yuanchun's close maid holding the piano.

I saw Baoqin came to the stage holding a piano that I didn’t know where to buy, first saluted to the main building, then saluted to the left and right side buildings respectively, and then sat down holding the piano nervously. On the piano bench that was carried up by two young eunuchs before.

Putting the piano on the piano table, he swallowed nervously holding the piano, and stretched out his trembling hand to pluck the strings.

However, because he was too nervous and too afraid of being rubbed by Jia Yuanchun after failure, the first sound of holding the piano broke.

After the first broken sound, Baoqin's face turned pale all of a sudden.

However, it may be that after thinking of the final result, the thought of holding the piano and smashing the jar was together, so I didn't feel nervous anymore.He closed his eyes, opened them again, took a deep breath, and played the piano again.

Things like music, or in other words, in this world, except for right or wrong, except for black and white competitions, the results of other competitions are determined by people.

The preferences and thoughts of the judges determine the whereabouts of the contestants, and this has never been changed since ancient times.

After all, let alone this kind of competition, even if it is the imperial examination, it depends on what kind of articles the chief examiner of this subject likes.

No matter how good your knowledge is, you won't be able to match what you like. In the liberal arts exam without standard answers, it will be a sure disadvantage.

And the harem's first beauty pageant was meant to be entertaining, so how could it be rigorous and fair with the harem's old fritters as judges?

So back to the present, Baoqin doesn't play the piano very well, but Baoqin has a good master.

Who is the master holding the piano, the seven judges and the queen all saw it from Jia Xiaoniu's resume.

So just after the queen lowered her eyes, the seven judges voted for the pass as soon as they finished playing the piano.

Looking at the seven red lantern-shaped signs on the opposite main building, Baoqin was stunned on the spot.

She, she played like this and still passed the unanimous vote?

The judges are all deaf, right?

Of course not, not only are the judges not deaf, just now, the seven judges had already discussed in a very low voice, no matter how well Jia Yuanchun played the piano today, they only gave her four votes.Guaranteed to pass, but it flew by with a very low score.

Who made Jia Yuanchun so irritating earlier.

Concubine Zhen is the highest among the seven people, so she was the first to comment, "The basic skills are solid, but you are too nervous. If you can get rid of your nervousness, your performance today will be even better. And your piano , the sound quality is too bad..." Concubine Zhen shook her head when she said this, "I see that you are a hardworking and good boy, so I will reward you with a good piano today. I hope you will practice harder and go further. "

Concubine Ning at the side heard this, and said with a charming smile, "Since Sister Zhen rewarded you with a good piano, then I will reward you with a set of tortoiseshell finger cots, play the piano well, and hope to see you in the finals."

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Ning spoke, and the other five judges also bombarded Baoqin with praise as if unwilling to be left behind.

What these people said, Baoqin himself didn't sound like he was talking about her.It was cloudy, but Baoqin was still moved.

Can she not be moved by being able to tell lies so sincerely?Even if her own mother heard this, she wouldn't think that she was praising her, her biological daughter.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

When she first learned the piano, she was only to keep Yuanchun as a companion. As a girl, no matter whether she played the piano correctly or not, the female teacher who taught Yuanchun would not say a word.

She is now risking being crushed to death by Jia Yuanchun to sign up for the competition, but she just wants to get away from Jia Yuanchun and not follow her to death.

She hasn't lived enough, no matter whether it is to go to Korea by order or follow Jia Yuanchun to rape some prince, these are not the results she wants.

Looking at the beautiful and eye-catching Qingwen on the stage today, she thought that if she was lucky enough to win, she would ask the empress to give her a marriage decree, formally leave the palace, get rid of Jia Yuanchun's burden, and live a life of flamboyance.

At this moment, Baoqin never thought that there would be such a blessing, and immediately knelt down to thank her.Then she was sent backstage by Qingwen with a grateful face and excitement.

The queen sat behind a few judges, watched the judges praise Baoqin in a fancy way, and said in a voice that only Jia Xiaoniu could hear, "After all, it's not in vain. The performances off stage are better than those on stage. too much."

Jia Xiaoniu was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the queen was talking about the seven judges coaxing up the piano.

Even her ignorant fish could tell that the piano played by Baoqin was so ordinary, how could these concubines not be able to tell.

The time in the palace is still short, and Jia Xiaoniu has not thought of Jia Yuanchun's "face" in it, so she is a little confused for a while.But after today's knockout round came to an end, Jia Xiaoniu could see Jia Yuanchun's popularity.

Jia Yuanchun, who is a county lord, although not a concubine, is at least a master, is sitting in the side building on the left. She has long known who the performer is. After all, the loudspeaker in Qingwen's hand is not given for free.

When Jia Yuanchun heard the first broken sound, the corners of Jia Yuanchun's mouth went up, and he couldn't hold it down no matter how hard he tried.But when she was sure that Baoqin would be eliminated, what Yuanchun didn't expect was that Baoqin passed the knockout round unanimously, which made Jia Yuanchun doubt the judges' level of judgment.

However, among the few contestants who appeared later, many of them also played the piano, so Jia Yuanchun found that the judging standards of the seven judges had risen again.

Now Jia Yuanchun couldn't figure it out, why was there someone who played the piano better than Baoqin, but was still picked on and eliminated?

When it was Jia Yuanchun's turn to take the stage, Jia Yuanchun's generous demeanor and her indomitable appearance instantly reminded people of her appearance when she first entered the palace, and then disgusted the seven judges by the way.

As a result, the four judges who were about to vote for approval, some of them withdrew.

Three clearance tickets, three elimination tickets, and one who couldn't hold back the nausea and shook his head directly to express his abstention from voting.

So Jia Yuanchun was embarrassed.

She became the first contestant to enter the resurrection match today.

However, what is even more embarrassing is the extremely sensational "Resurrection Selling Misery" after Jia Xiaoniu changed and deleted several times.

The queen and Jia Xiaoniu looked at each other, thinking of the tragic words for resurrection needed for the resurrection match after the knockout round, the queen and Jia Xiaoniu unanimously decided that Jia Yuanchun, who thought he had outstanding literary talent, should write this word by himself.

Jia Yuanchun:

She still needs to sell miserably?

She's already miserable, okay?
