The Devious First-Daughter

Lan Ning came in after Caifen, came to Ning Xueyan, squatted down and said a few words to Ning Xueyan in a low voice, at this time outside the main hall came some nobles from aristocratic families, and asked the emperor who was sitting on it And the queen, the concubines of the harem came to the left side of the hall after seeing the ceremony.

There are several rows here full of men's seats, three chairs are placed in the front, the head one is covered with a light yellow brocade similar to bright yellow, it is located at the bottom of the emperor's steps, but it is slightly outward, sitting on it is a handsome man. Sen Leng's person is not His Royal Highness Yi Wang who is known as the emperor's younger brother.

Below him are the third prince Ao Mingyu and the fourth prince Ao Mingwan.

This scene is big enough!

While the show girls were shocked, they were also secretly delighted. If they were to become a blockbuster on such an occasion, it would be enough for the emperor to remember themselves, and it would be impossible to say that they would reach the sky in one step.

"Empress, when... will this start?" The emperor's complexion didn't look very good, he was slightly pale in the haggard, and his spirit seemed a bit weak.

Ning Xueyan looked over from below, and felt that the emperor didn't look old, he was a thin middle-aged man, and he should have had a good life when he was young, but now, there are black marks under his eyes, and his complexion The space is too pale, no matter how you look at it, you feel that your health is very bad.

The queen is an extremely dignified middle-aged beauty, well maintained, wearing a gorgeous phoenix skirt, with a good complexion, but when describing it, I always feel that there is a gloomy and cold air, even in the This palace full of flowers can't dispel the gloom on her body.

This is the queen who has no children in the middle palace. She has no heirs, so what if she is the queen of the middle palace, so the gloomy look in her eyes can't be dissipated for a long time, which is also reasonable.

Compared with Concubine Ya and Concubine Shu who were sitting next to her, she was obviously much colder.

"Your Majesty, this matter was all carefully arranged by Sister Ya, let Sister Ya tell the emperor!" The queen smiled decently, and turned to look at Concubine Ya, who was sitting beside her, looking dignified and polite, as expected of a mother of nations.

"Empress Empress, you are too flattering to my younger sister. You can't say that there are any elaborate arrangements. The general election always has to be seen by the emperor and empress. Sister Concubine Shu and I have the guts to be the masters!" With a gentle smile, there was no disrespect for the queen in his eyes, and he even praised the queen faintly.

The queen's face relaxed a little.

"Sister Ya is so polite, so can we start now?" A faint smile appeared on the queen's face, and she passed the words on behalf of the emperor.

"Yes, start right away." Concubine Yagui clapped her hands with a smile. An eunuch standing behind her stepped forward and handed her a beautiful box in his hand, which contained small jade plaques. Concubine Yagui stood Standing up, she gracefully came to the emperor, bowed down gracefully, and raised the box on her head high.

"Your Majesty, my concubine here invites the Emperor to draw the first show girl to perform today, and then ask the Queen to draw the next one."

"Ai Concubine is really blue-hearted and intelligent. Is this drawn in person?" The emperor was a little bit excited when he was drawn on the spot and performed on the spot. He stretched out his hand to take a jade plaque and praised with a smile.

"Your majesty, there is no such thing as a heart and wisdom in the concubine, it is all the reminder from the empress, coupled with the thoughts of Concubine Shu, the concubine is just a messenger." Concubine Yagui did not take credit for herself at all, laughing Pushing all the matter to the Queen and Concubine Shu, the Queen's expression became more relaxed, she reached out and took a jade tablet, and handed it to the eunuch beside her.

Concubine Shu, who was sitting on the side, smiled more and more happily.

The first performer above is the daughter of Minister of Rites. She is performing a dance. Now she is going down to change the dance clothes she is carrying. The next one is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She is already preparing the piano for the meeting, and she is following her. The maid beside her took out the piano she was carrying from the piano bag she was carrying.

Ao Chenyi was the third one to draw the jade token. He lazily stretched out his hand to take out the token, and the eunuch hurriedly took it and wrote down the name of the third performer.

Then came the third prince, the fourth prince, and then the concubine Shu, and the concubines of all ranks in the harem will be arranged according to rank.

There are quite a few concubines who came today, and the number of beautiful women is obviously not that many. After such a row, there are still a few low-ranking ones who have no chance to get a brand. Please tell me the number and let them prepare in order.

Ning Xueyan looked at her number, it was the eighth, and it was still too early to prepare.

But it seems more coincidental that it is Ning Qingshan, the maid who came to tell her the number just now told Ning Qingshan first, and then told Ning Xueyan, of course Ning Xueyan did not forget that the maid said to Ning Qingshan With her polite attitude at the time, it seemed that the people in the palace also knew that Ning Qingfan was going to be the third prince's official concubine.

The first show girl performed talent, the sound of the piano was elegant and clear, and one could tell that a lot of effort had been put into it. Even the empress, who had been sitting in a high position with a straight face, had a slightly satisfied smile on her face, showing It is very recognized.

The dance of the second show girl is equally beautiful, although not very brilliant, but it is passable, and she is not much weaker than others.

Next came the third and the fourth. It was a coincidence that these two danced and played together. The two of them seemed to have discussed it and cooperated together, which made everyone feel refreshed. I don't know if they knew each other from the beginning or cooperated However, unexpectedly, people feel that such cooperation is excellent.

After they got down, there were more compliments than the previous two, because the two people had a great cooperation. For a while, the beautiful girls sitting next to Ning Xueyan and the neighbors were all whispering about each other's performance. What, is it possible to cooperate.

Three or four of the two show girls left the stage, and the fifth show girl went up. Not only did her dance well, but her dance music was quite long. , dancing lightly, very attractive.

"Fifth sister, why don't we work together? We will play the piano together. If I have any shortcomings, you can help me make up for them. If I have any shortcomings, you can help me too. The two of us play together, and we will surely score Open, you have greater confidence, Fifth Sister, what do you think?"

While looking at Wu, Ning Xueyan leaned back and approached Ning Xueyan and said.

She believes that Ning Xueyan will not refuse. Ning Xueyan's piano skills are not so good, and now she is caught off guard again. The praise she received gave her a little bit, and even took her away a little bit, how could she disagree.

So Ning Qingfan didn't care at all that Ning Xueyan would not agree. Even after she said this, the place behind her was quiet for a long time. She didn't know that she had enough patience to let the prey slowly. Climb over and tick.

"Thank you, third sister, but, this is not very good, we both play the piano..." Ning Xueyan's soft voice of rejection came from behind, and everything was expected by Ning Qingfan. If Ning Xueyan Yan agreed so easily, but she felt suspicious.

There were more than one encounters with Ning Xueyan, and there was no time when she made up her mind and then acted. It shows that Ning Xueyan is extremely cunning, and it is impossible for her to believe that she will sincerely cooperate with her. It is also well prepared.

"Fifth sister, I don't know how your piano skills are. For the past three years, I have been in the nunnery, ignoring world affairs, but now that I have come out, I don't want anyone to criticize our Houfu. If the fifth sister has something Not good, it will also burden me, Fifth Younger Sister also knows about the matter between me and the Third Prince, so there can be no mistakes at this time, so I feel that playing with Fifth Younger Sister will give me greater confidence."

Ning Qingfan turned her head, her eyes fell on Ning Xueyan, showing a little bit of depression, but she said it very sincerely, and even faintly revealed it, if it wasn't for the sake of protecting the face of the Huguohou Mansion, or because of the Huguohou Mansion Her face has a great connection with her own marriage, and she will not take the initiative to invite Ning Xueyan to play together.

The two had fought several times in secret, and almost all of them ended in the failure of Ning Qingshan. How could there be no grudges? "Ning Xueyan didn't believe it no matter what.

But if she had to make concessions to Ning Xueyan because of her own marriage, the Huguohou's Mansion would have a bad reputation. Maybe Concubine Yagui and the third prince would not want to marry the Huguohou's Mansion, then her The position of the third prince and concubine was missed in vain.

Saying such a reason is much more credible, and it must be related to her own marriage. It is only natural for Ning Qingshan to make some concessions temporarily. The emperor and queen are on top. It was the face of the entire Huguohou Mansion, which was indeed inappropriate.

If Ning Qingshan was not Concubine Yagui's niece, if Concubine Yagui hadn't promised Ning Qingshan would definitely enter the Third Prince's Mansion, it is normal for Ning Qingshan to have these concerns, of course, these are based on Ning Qingshan's superficial identity To make a fuss, of course Ning Qingfan was sure that Ning Xueyan would not know about her private relationship with Concubine Yagui, so she was sure that Ning Xueyan would definitely agree.

As long as they are smart people, anyone can do things that benefit both sides.

Of course, Ning Qingshan will not tell her real purpose, as long as Ning Xueyan uses a little force on the qin that has been manipulated, a string of the qin will break, and when the time comes to play it again, it will definitely be scratched. The emperor, the empress and all the concubines were watching from above, and Ning Xueyan didn't dare to stop even though she found that the strings were broken.

She was not very good at playing the piano, so she played the piano with scratched hands and compared it with the two of herself. The difference between good and bad was clear. The smoke couldn't stop, this time, she not only wanted to drive Ning Xueyan away, but also destroyed her hand.

For this reason, she chose a relatively long piece of music.
