Bestow marriage
Song Shuqi's heart clattered for a moment, but her face was still calm and said, "why did the empress suddenly ask like this?"
The queen patted her on the back of her hand and said, "you are a girl who pretends to be stupid. I don't believe that you don't understand. If you tell me the truth, are you married?"
Song Shuqi faintly smile: "Niang Niang, people's daughter has always been arranged at home, marriage is naturally arranged by parents."
"That's all right." But the queen said, "as long as there are many princes in the palace, there will always be one suitable for you, and the palace will protect you, so you won't be bullied."
Between words, it was settled.
Song Shuqi had suffered a lot in shangguanao's last life. Now how could she agree to marry into the royal family? She said: "madam, the people's daughter understands your good intentions, but the people's daughter's status is low. She never wants to marry high."
The empress slightly a Zheng: "you this wench..."
Song Shuqi said to her with a smile: "Niang Niang, although the people's daughter has no great ambition, she has a wish since childhood. She would rather be a poor wife than a high concubine."
She knew in her heart that even if she had a queen in charge of her identity, she would not become a wife unless the Prince did not fight for the throne.
How can the prince not fight for the throne?
The queen didn't expect that she should have such an idea. It's not good to force her to do so, but it's a pity. She couldn't help saying, "poor family lives in hardship. Do you think about it?"
"Niang Niang, the palace is full of the most noble men in the world, and people's women never dare to climb up." Song Shuqi held her skirt slightly low and knelt on the ground: "thank you for your love."
Seeing that she was so stubborn, what else could she say, the queen sighed: "just get up. This palace is just a whim. Don't be afraid. This Palace won't force you."
Song Shuqi then slowly got up and said, "thank you, madam. I'm very grateful to you."
"You are so strange." The queen shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't know how many women want to marry into the royal family, but you don't want to."
Song Shuqi dropped her eyes and said with a smile: "it's the people's daughter who doesn't know what's good and what's bad. She failed her mother's wishes."
But Gong shangliu said at this time: "lady, this is the valuable part of Shuqi."
The empress nodded her head and said, "well, if you are greedy for wealth and wealth, our palace will not like you so much."
Song Shuqi smile: "thank Niang love."
"That's all." The queen gave up the idea of giving her a marriage, and said, "but there is a request in our palace. If you have nothing to do, you must often come to our palace to talk with us and relieve your boredom."
Song Shuqi felt a little relaxed in her heart. Naturally, she said happily, "don't worry, madam. You are so kind, and the people like to talk with you."
The empress was satisfied and nodded: "remember your words, then our palace will not disturb you. Let's talk with your little sisters."
Song Shuqi and his wife saluted and sent the empress away.
The palace Shang Liu peeps at her, see her taut face then smile to tease a way: "Shu Qi, you this peach blossom luck came, how still not happy?"
Song Shuqi glared at her and said, "if you still disturb me, you don't know what I think?"“ Of course I know. " "Well, don't be so serious. Anyway, the empress has promised not to marry you."
Song Shuqi smiles at her, but she can't put it down in her heart. This time, the Queen's marriage brings her a wake-up call.
This marriage is always easy to handle.
For a moment, it made her feel full of crisis.
They practiced for another morning. In the afternoon, they began to think about the performance at the Palace Banquet. It was already night when they returned to the inn.
After dinner, song Shuqi lay down and went to sleep.
The next day is the Palace Banquet. Song Shuqi gets up early in the morning and is dressed up by Bichen.
The location of the Palace Banquet was set in the back palace. When song Shuqi and Gong shangliu went in, many people had already arrived.
As soon as she saw song Shuqi, the queen sat at the top of the table, smiling and even waving to them.
The Palace Dress willow low voice way: "empress empress's favor, also don't know is blessing is disaster."
Song Shuqi glanced at the surprised and envious eyes around her and said in a soft voice, "you can settle down as soon as you come."
It's no use thinking so much.
They came to the queen and saluted: "I've seen the queen."
"Get up quickly." The queen raised her hand and said, "don't be so stiff. Come and sit down. The palace banquet will begin soon. You can watch the performance with us."
"Yes." Song Shuqi and Gong shangliu are sitting by the side of the queen. They are surprised to see some more girls coming in.
Song Shutong see these two people is more jealous, but dare not say what, can only
Secretly stare at them.
If song Shuqi looks at it, she sees song Shutong send an ugly smile, and she can't bear to look directly at it.
At this time, a maid came forward and said, "lady, all the people are here. Can the banquet begin?"
The queen nodded slightly and said, "let's go."
At the beginning of the Palace Banquet, all the girls got up to salute. The queen raised her hand slightly and said, "you don't have to be polite. Today in Japan, it's a fad in the palace. There are not many rules for the Palace Banquet. Just enjoy it."
"Thank you, madam."
After all thanks, some people began to perform one after another.
However, after looking at several of them, the queen could not help shaking her head and said, "I thought I could appreciate them well, but it was so disappointing."
Song Shuqi smiles but does not speak. She does not comment. She can only listen to the Queen's disgust.
The more the queen looked at it, the more dissatisfied she was: "those who seek stability are very boring, while those who are novel are not brilliant enough. This is what these people carefully prepared."
Song Shutong came out at the end of the first half. She held the konghou and bowed down slowly: "there is a phoenix moon for the queen."
As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Huangyue is famous for its high difficulty, but it is also very nice to play. Song Shuqi also slightly eyebrows, did not expect that she did so much preparation.
The queen also had some interest: "come on."
Song Shutong held the konghou, took a few deep breaths and began to play it slowly. The first sound of the piano shocked everyone.
At the end of the song, people didn't come back for a long time. After a long time, they began to sing
There was thunderous applause.
Song Shutong's mouth slightly raised, got up to salute, pretended not to be surprised by honor and disgrace, and retreated to one side.
The queen couldn't help looking up at her and praising her: "yes, this song is OK. I'm very satisfied with it. I appreciate it."
Song Shutong got up and saluted excitedly: "long en, empress Xie,
They just want to make a smile from the empress. "
The queen also showed a smile and said, "well, you have a heart. Take a break at noon. The rest of the girls will continue in the afternoon."
"Thank you, empress."
The maidservants put the rich dishes on the table. The queen said in a warm voice, "this afternoon is your performance. I'm looking forward to it."
Song Shuqi sat on one side to give her cloth dishes, while should say: "don't worry, I believe there will be a lot of good-looking performance behind."
She glanced at Song Shutong not far away, and saw that she was surrounded by several girls, smiling and talking, and her flattering smile was all over her face.
After dinner, the queen patted song Shuqi's hand and said, "you're going to talk to her, too
Let's have a chat. We don't have to stay here with our palace. Just come back before the Palace Banquet begins. "
Song Shu sat for a long time, but he was really tired, so he didn't refuse: "the lady of the people thanks her."
Then they went out together.
Gong shangliu spat out his tongue at her and complained, "I've been sitting here for a long time
Who can stand it
"Just bear with it." Song Shuqi said with a smile: "who let us be ranked last."
Speaking of this, Liu couldn't help but look at her: "it's not your fault. Who made you so popular with the queen? In order to let you accompany her more, I arranged you to the end."
Song Shuqi begged for mercy and said, "well, it's my fault."
The Palace Dress willow also can't help but smile, just at this time, suddenly ring out a voice, several girls surround to come up.
"Yo, sister, where are you going?"
Song Shuqi didn't have to look back to know who it was. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "what are you doing here if your sister doesn't rest in the banquet?"
Song Shutong walked around her and looked at her with a smile: "it's time for you to perform in the afternoon. What do you want to perform?"
Song Shuqi chuckled: "it's rare that my sister cares about me so much."
"Sister, where is this? We are sisters. It's normal for me to care about you." Song Shutong finished pretending words, and tried to say: "what do you want to perform? It must be better than mine. " Song Shuqi knew that she was trying. Her heart turned slightly. She said sadly, "well, I don't have any preparation this time. I'm afraid I can't match you."
Song Shutong is dubious: "no, my sister said she could play that strange musical instrument?"
Song Shuqi sighed sorrowfully, then forced to smile like a cover up and said: "thank you for your concern. We have something else to do, so let's go first.
”
"Sister, walk slowly. I'm looking forward to your performance." Song Shutong get out of the way, no longer get in the way, wait to see her go away, this just shows a trace of satisfaction.
It seems that she will win this time.
Song Shuqi and song Shuqi returned to the queen before the palace banquet started. As soon as they saw her, the queen said, "you're back. It's about to start,
You have to get your show ready, too. "
Song Shuqi and Gong shangliu looked at each other and nodded.
Then the Palace Banquet began.
After watching the performance, the queen sighed and said, "well, Shuqi, we have to look forward to your talents."
At the end of the day, everyone began to get tired.
When it was the turn of the last group, red gauze layers were pulled open in the middle of the stage. People couldn't see the scene clearly, but they all whispered.
"Why haven't you started yet?"
"Start quickly, finish quickly. I'm a little tired."
"It's the same as before, especially boring."
In the chaos of words, suddenly sounded the sound of Qin, it is two completely different Qin, Qingyang and tactful interwoven together, as if writing a soul stirring story.
Everyone was crazy when they heard it.
Song Shutong stares at the red yarn, vaguely able to see the two pictures inside
There are two figures, one of which she is familiar with.
That's song Shuqi.
But how is that possible?
