Chapter 40 Performance (Part 1)

I had eaten at this banquet for too long. Song Ruoxi was afraid that Xiangxiu would be hungry, so he secretly handed her the cake. He turned his head and saw that the girl on the left was also doing the same thing. The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Sister, Baihua Ling is not fun, let's change the order!" Princess Su said with a smile.

"Okay, change it." Sheng Yu agreed readily, changing it to the couplet, "Taoyuan gallops and horses!"

"Ma Rongtang is in the tent." Princess Lu responded.

"The curtain of the tent is surrounded by Jia Road."

One person and one sentence down.

"The spring wind and orioles sing."

"Cry..." A lady continued and smiled embarrassedly, "I am stupid and can't tell you. I will punish myself for three cups!"

After a lot of fun, change dishes, serve incense towels, and serve the third dish, the soup, and the cake.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the palace maids came up and changed dishes and bowls, presented incense towels for the third time, and served the last dish.

After eating the whole table, the palace maids brought a silver tray, and the tray was filled with toothpicks, vanilla, white cocoon, etc. for everyone to choose. The palace maids presented incense towels for the fourth time. After the banquet, all the noble ladies and ladies went to the third yard to change their clothes according to the ceremony.

The girl sitting on the left side of Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "This girl, let's go together!"

"Oh, OK." Song Ruoxi was not easy to refuse, so he stood up and walked side by side with her.

"My surname is Yang and my name is Wanrou. May I ask the girl's surname is Fang?"

Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed and she said, "My surname is Su and my name is Yingying."

"Hello Miss Su, what kind of talent will Miss Su perform later?" Yang Wanrou asked with a smile.

"I don't plan to perform." Song Ruoxi smiled, "Where are you, Miss Yang?"

Yang Wanrou sighed softly, her eyes dimmed slightly. Before she could speak, a maid hurried over, "Girl, madam, please come over quickly."

Yang Wanrou frowned slightly and said, "Miss Su, see you later."

When Yang Wanrou walked away with the maid, Song Ruoxi took Xiangxiu out of the small door and returned to the second yard. Seeing the palace maids and eunuchs quickly cleaning up the mess, moving the Eight Immortals table down, putting it on a long table, and freeing out of the middle to perform for the noble girls.

The Flower Festival not only allows girls raised in the boudoir to go out of their homes, enjoy their lives and expand their talents, but also allows wives from various prefectures to visit each other and select satisfactory daughter-in-law candidates. On the third day of the March 1st, Dongqu Liushang will allow men and women who are willing to marry to sing through poetry, express their affection, and build a good relationship between the two families.

The performance is divided into three categories: musical instruments, dancing and calligraphy and painting.

Taking advantage of the time of changing clothes, the maids of each mansion reported the girls' projects to participate in the performance later. It happened that Princess Anning and Li Mengdie reported both musical instruments, and it happened that the two appeared in the fifth and sixth place respectively.

When Song Ruoxi heard that the female official ranked in this ranking, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Who arranged this? He was afraid that the two of them would not have a deep enough grudge and intended to let them fight?

There were sixteen people performing musical instruments. Princess Anning and Li Mengdie looked at each other from a distance, and fire was splashing everywhere.

Princess Huangwen performed calligraphy and painting, and the most people performed calligraphy and painting, with twenty-seven people.

There were twelve people performing dances. Yang Wanrou, who had just made friends with Song Ruoxi, was the one who performed dances and was ranked ninth. Li Mengdie's opponent, Rao Minghui, was the sixth dancer.

The girl who performed calligraphy and painting, led by the palace maid, went to the second floor, where she had already prepared her pen, ink, paper and ink.

"I have the sister Shunshu, Princess Fu County, Princess Xiang County and Mrs. Zeng to supervise the building." Sheng Yu bowed.

The four of them responded with a smile, got up and went upstairs to serve as supervisor.

The first person to play the pipa was Lu Xili, who performed the role of playing the pipa. She played the song "Song of Flowers" very appropriately. The skills learned by the ladies of a family were guided by special people, and the sounds played were quite accurate, but unfortunately there was less artistic conception.

Sheng Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a faint expression.

Musical instruments and dancing were performed interspersedly. After the second girl finished playing the guzheng, a girl in a red dance dress spun around on the stage. As soon as she appeared, Song Ruoxi recognized her as the girl who said she wanted to stay away from Li Mengdie.

"Xiangxiu, what's her name?" Song Ruoxi asked softly.

"Li Xiaotang."

The surname is Li, Song Ruoxi's eyes are slightly turned. I wonder what her relationship with Li Mengdie?

After the performance of a few girls, it was An Ning's turn to go on stage. She changed into a pink dress and sat in front of the piano table. Her jade hands gently stroked her, and the music sounded.

"Lying on the verge of watching the clouds rise"!

Song Ruoxi was surprised. He didn't expect that the unruly Princess An Ning would choose such a quiet and distant song. This was too inconsistent with her personality. Sure enough, the music was a little impatient, and there was less the calmness and leisure that should be in the song.

Princess Qi knew her daughter's personality very well. She smiled slightly and didn't care much. With the status and power of the Prince of Qi's mansion, she had a family of women and hundreds of schools of thought, so these were just icing on the cake.

After An Ning stroking the piano, it was Li Mengdie's turn to play.

Li Mengdie glanced at An Ning provocatively, sat down in front of the zither table, and tried the sound. The sound of the zither was a song "Listen to the Cicadas in the Wind". This is also a song with quiet artistic conception. Compared with the front and back, Li Mengdie's has indeed practiced the zither carefully. The piano skills are much higher than An Ning. The melodious prelude has passed, and the music is getting better.

"Zheng"

The tight strings suddenly broke and hit Li Mengdie's back of his hand heavily, and a blood mark suddenly appeared.

"Ah!" Li Mengdie was in pain and screamed.

Her maid hurried forward. Wei thought that the person was brought by her, so she did not dare to neglect her, so she followed her to check it out.

Sheng Yu said coldly. "A person who plays the piano does not care about the piano. Even if he has good music, it will be in vain."

When I came, I had already checked the piano, but there was no problem. At this time, the strings were broken, and someone must have touched my fingers. Li Mengdie was angry and pointed at An Ning and said sternly: "It's you, it must be you who broke my strings!"

"Mengdie, don't talk nonsense." Wei Shi was shocked and quickly covered her mouth, "Princess Anning, please don't care. She is confused and talks nonsense."

"I am not as good as others in skills, but I dare to accuse me of this princess, it's abominable!" An Ning said angrily.

"If you have a brain problem, you shouldn't bring it out and show your shame." Princess Qi said unhappily.

"I will take her away now. Please forgive me for the sake of the concubine!" Wei had to pull the concubine out as a shield.

Sheng Yu lowered his eyelids and drank tea, ignoring it.

Song Ruoxi frowned slightly. Did the two princesses do this? Or Rao Minghui? No matter who made the move, Li Mengdie could not continue playing this song.

Rong Shu glanced at Sheng Yu and smiled and said, "Sister, today is the festival. I have to ruin my mood for a confused person. Let them go! Don't let them get in the way here."

Sheng Yu put down the teacup and his eyes flashed. Now the Li family's holy benefactor is not good enough to offend him, so he followed Rong Shu's plea and nodded.
