Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 419, Invitation to the Competition

After the song, the young ladies seemed to be less restrained. They raised their heads eagerly and gave left and right glances, impatiently wanting to go up and perform.

Sure enough, after Xiushuang stepped down from the stage, the ladies of each family stood up together in twos and threes, wanting to go up and perform, but they gave way to each other out of reserve.

Seeing them scrambling to be the first and giving way to each other, Xiao Qing pursed his lips and laughed, a group of little girls wanted to go but had concerns, but some of the women from the Western Regions had been sitting still, not knowing what they were thinking.

While watching intently, one of the veiled women looked back at Xiao Qing, seemed to smile at her, and nodded.

Xiao Qing responded with a smiling face and continued to drink milk.

The girls from each family came to the stage one by one, Xiao Qing couldn't help sighing, this group of girls is really amazing, they not only have many talents, but also have their own characteristics, they are dazzled to see, and the next step is to smash a big stone in their chest, and they will change into a living person. The two young ladies actually started juggling, and there was a lion fight and dance on the side, each with a mask, dancing against each other, like a shaman exorcising evil spirits from each other.

Xiao Qing couldn't help looking at Yu Xiucheng on the high platform, wondering how he would react when he saw these women, they racked their brains to become his wife, he should watch carefully and choose.

When she looked at him, he happened to glance sideways at the stage, but with this glance, the wine that Yu Xiucheng had just drank spurted out, and the servants hurriedly wiped it for him so as not to stain his clothes.

Xiao Qing shook his head and sighed secretly, is it that funny? They put all their effort into performing for him, but he couldn't help spouting wine somewhere, and didn't bother to look at him anymore.

When it came to Lu Ruxian and He Jining, it was more normal. The two of them had very good piano skills. He Jining knew that Yu Xiucheng's piano skills were good, so he practiced hard day and night all these years, just to make Yu Xiucheng look at him one day.

The two cooperated tonight, with He Jining playing the thirteen-stringed zither and Lu Ruxian dancing.

Hu Ziyun saw the two jumping and bouncing, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he muttered something in his mouth.

"Sure enough, the two of them are working hand in hand, one is dancing the palm dance, the other is playing the thirteen-stringed qin. Did they plan to enter the prime minister's house together? Didn't Lu Ruxian say that she would marry her aunt's cousin before, and she even went to Yaoshan Mountain. What is going on now? Shameless and want to marry Taifu Yu? You have no sense of shame!" Hu Ziyun cursed secretly.

As soon as the two of them made a move, all the talents in front of them were reduced to a foil. After a song and a dance, the whole hall applauded. The eyes of the man from the west almost grew on the two of them, especially Lu Ruxian, who grasped her waist full and seductive eyes. The people who watched were fascinated.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, look into your lord's eyes, he is indeed attracted by these two goblins, Second Miss, please think of a way, think of a way!" The servant girl beside Hu Ziyun said anxiously.

Hearing what the two said, Xiao Qing raised his head to look at Yu Xiucheng, and saw him frowning at the two, as if he was watching monkeys in a zoo performing catching lice, how could he be attracted, this maid's eyesight is not good.

"Shut up, I saw it, you don't need to say it!" Hu Ziyun said eagerly: "Why do I have to play the thirteen strings? I practiced hard for several months just for this day. Now she has stolen the limelight." , she played the thirteen strings, so what should I play?"

The servant girl suddenly said to herself: "Second Miss, look, look, those women from the Western Regions have stepped forward, and they are walking towards Miss He and Miss Lu!"

Xiao Qing was startled by the two masters and servants, she didn't know who to look at, she was not a good person, but the master and servant sat beside her and suddenly said this, suddenly said something, she didn't want to look at it, even if she was brought by the two of them go.

"Xiaoyue, these women from the Western Regions are all wearing strings. Isn't it heavy to be decorated with so many stones?" Hu Ziyun observed the clothes of the women from the Western Regions.

"Second Miss, if you dare to wear this dress and go out, the master will promise to break your legs. Look, your belly button is exposed!" said the servant girl.

Hu Ziyun pursed her lips and said: "These women from the Western Regions wear veils because they are dressed like this, and they are afraid that they will be recognized and beaten when they go out. Don't worry, I won't imitate them."

Now Xiao Qing couldn't help laughing, this brain circuit, tsk tsk...

"Second miss, don't talk, look, they blocked Miss He and Miss Lu from stepping down, this is a good show, they are fighting, that's great, on this occasion, fighting, whether they are Anyone will be ashamed!" The servant girl said happily.

Xiao Qing and Hu Ziyun looked at the same time, just as the servant girl said, the two were facing each other.

"Why don't we go down first, okay?" He Jining said softly.

The four women from the Western Regions had no intention of stepping aside, and blocked the road aggressively forcing the two of them back to the stage.

"What do you want to do? We're done dancing. It's your turn. You can come up and show off. Why are you blocking the way?" Seeing that the four people refused to give way, Lu Ruxian forced them back to the stage. She couldn't help it. Ask loudly.

The leader of the four women from the Western Regions stood up. She bowed respectfully to the two of them and said, "In Xialingqu, I admire the Daqing thirteen-stringed qin skills very much, so I took the liberty to keep two of them here because I want to compete with them. I wonder if the two would like to compete?"

Lu Ruxian was very angry: "We don't compete, how can you invite a competition like this?"

"No comparison?" Lingqu provocatively said with a slight smile in his eyes: "Could it be that you are afraid of losing to us? I heard that the thirteen qin played by Grand Master He's daughter is a masterpiece. Loser coward!"

Afraid of losing?

Lu Ruxian was enraged. He Jining's thirteen-stringed harp was unmatched by anyone except the eldest princess, and she had never seen her lose.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to challenge, He Jining grabbed her and smiled.

"If the two of you want to compete, I've already finished playing just now, and you can show it on stage, and we won't bother you!" He Jining wisely avoided a head-on confrontation, this competition is incomparable.

How could Lingqu let her go easily, and said with a smile: "In this case, according to the rules of your Daqing, you have to set a lottery in each competition, and whoever wins will win the lottery. I just heard the song of the two, it seems to be about For those who are at war, today we will use the theme of war, and each will present a song. The prize will be based on the amount of tribute from the Western Regions in three years. If you lose, then Daqing will be exempted from the three-year tribute from the Western Regions. If we lose, we will continue to contribute to Daqing As a tribute, order to present three beauties to Emperor Daqing."

He Jining knew the news as early as when they entered Daqing, but he didn't expect that they were coming against her, so he didn't know how to take it.

She begged for help and looked at He Jing, this competition was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, she could not accept it alone, although she was not afraid of them, she still had to think twice before acting.

He Jing stood up and said: "Hey, how can you say that the competition is just a competition, how about this, you just came to the capital, first go to the posthouse to rest for a few days, then there will be a banquet in the palace, you can have a good competition in the palace?"
