It's cold in winter, even in the warm hall, the temperature is not very high, but the dancers in the hall are still wearing thin silk skirts.
The ladies are all talking excitedly. Ye Shuli notices that in addition to Long Yu, there is a pure girl sitting in the front of the banquet. She seems to be looking at her, so she can't help but cast her eyes on her. She just feels that she looks very fresh.
Seeing that her peeping seems to have been discovered, the girl looks back timidly and shyly. Ye Shuli sees that she is restless, so she looks back immediately.
Seeing this, sun Baozhu gently patted her hand comfortingly and said with a smile, "Huaiyu, what are you afraid of?"
With a shallow smile, Soong Huaiyu said softly, "Baozhu, she is so beautiful I came from a powerful family, and I...... "
"Don't belittle yourself. The eldest princess and the imperial concubines will decide for you." Sun Baozhu comforted in a deep voice, and then took another deep look at Ye Shuli.
Soong Huaiyu hesitated and nodded, looking a little uneasy and embarrassed.
Ye Shuli's remaining light swept the girl's look like a little white rabbit. He gently poked Long Yu with his arm and said, "who is that girl? How come I've never seen it before? "
Long Yu is happily eating haisai, smell speech glanced over there, whispered: "Oh, you say that powder clothes ah, that is Dongyang county master song Huaiyu."
"Master of Dongyang county?"
Long Yu nodded and said, "well, her father fought side by side with my father and emperor in those years, and made a lot of contributions. Later, my father and Emperor became the king of different surnames. Unfortunately, because of the enemy's plot on the battlefield, she fell ill and left at a young age."
At this point, long Yu could not help sighing: "not long after her father died, her mother also went with her. When her father saw that she was so pitiful, he simply made her the county leader. Most of these years, she stayed in Dongyang and rarely returned to Beijing. I didn't know her well either."
Ye Shuli nodded his head gently, and he could not help feeling sympathy for the girl.
After singing and dancing in the palace, she stepped down to pour wine for the people. The eldest princess made a gesture to the imperial concubine, who whispered in the empress's ear with a smile.
After a while, Emperor Qing nodded with a smile and granted the request of the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine then said with a smile, "I watch this song and dance every year. It's boring to watch too much. If you want me to tell you, it's better for the ladies of Da'an Dynasty to show their talents! "
As soon as she said this, the people at the banquet immediately became aware, and their hearts began to move.
"The eldest princess said with a smile," isn't it? Today, there are so many girls who symbolize the spirit of water in the Palace Banquet, but I've seen them all. "
"If you have any skills, you can offer them." Said the queen with a smile.
Ye Shuli frowned. She didn't like the part of talent presentation. She didn't seem to have anything to do except sword dancing.
Long Yu is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she frowned and whispered: "it's clear that it's an official's gold, but it's just that she wants to compete for the limelight and please others like an actor."
The two girls were not interested in the routine part of every Palace Banquet, so they simply shrunk their necks and ate and drank together.
The girls at the bottom looked at each other with deep meaning, and soon a woman in a green shirt got up first and said, "I'm not talented. I got Zhang Bufan's Guqin a few days ago. I'd like to offer a song for your majesty and the ladies."
Ye Shu left tut a, this is to prepare but come.
The empress nodded her head, which was permission. Then the girl in green shirt took the Yao Qin from my servant and began to play in the hall.
It's a song of "Moonlight on the Spring River". Although the girl in green shirt is a little nervous, she is better known for her mentality. After playing the song, she shows her extraordinary skill.
Imperial concubines like to listen to this song most. After the girl in green shirt finished playing, she gave her something with a smile. The girl met the people around with a little appreciation of the eyes, slightly raised her chin, walked back to the table, the face is unable to hide the joy.
With the first person out, the rest of the girls are bold. One after another, he came forward to show his talent, which he had racked his brains to prepare for for a long time. He was looking forward to surpassing others among the many noble women.
The dancers and singers have fallen out of the rut. Some of them are painting while dancing. There is an ugly girl who shows nine jade cups filled with water and sings while beating with chopsticks.
The crisp voice is really pleasant. Even ye Shuli, who is not very interested in these books, enjoys reading them.
When the banquet was in full swing, many men from powerful families also took part in it.
Seeing that most of the Qianjin on the scene had performed, ye Xihan came forward to perform.
Ye Shuli is also slightly positive. Generally speaking, when the heroine of the original works comes on stage, she wants to crush everyone to pieces.
Sure enough, ye Xihan just played a Pipa with an air of self-confidence, and the people around her were in praise, and their eyes were looking at her with light.Although Ye Shuli doesn't understand musical instruments, he can also see that ye Xihan's fingering and the difficulty of music are not simple.
At the moment has always been a mixture of jealousy and shallow expression, the face is still indifferent.
Longna nodded slightly and laughed unexpectedly: "good! Good! She deserves to be the first talented woman in the capital. She really has a great family style
As soon as the high hat was worn, people's eyes became more complicated.
Song Huaiyu gave sun Baozhu a timid look. Sun Baozhu immediately comforted her in a warm voice and said, "Huaiyu, don't be afraid. You are not inferior to her, not to mention you don't need to compare with her."
Then she gently approached Soong Huaiyu's ear and said, "that ye Shuli is a famous straw bag in the capital. You can't do anything. You just have to go up and perform."
Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, sun Baozhu was worried, so she heard the eldest princess say with a smile: "it's really a great family style. There are more than 30 fingerings in this song. It's really impressive!"
"Brother Huang, it's rare that Huaiyu is here today. You and I are no strangers to her and konghou skills. Let Huaiyu and ye's girl play together today."
"Huaiyu? Good! If you don't hurry up and invite Huaiyu up, those present today will have a good ear! " Qingdi said with a laugh.
Sun Baozhu gave her a quick push. The girl with pure eyes like a rabbit stood up and sat shyly beside Ye Xihan in the hall.
I just heard her voice like a yellow warbler: "I wonder if Miss ye can play" general order "
Ye Xihan nodded respectfully. Song Huaiyu said with a smile, "let's play the general's order."
She looked at a corner of the banquet with some expectation and shyness.
