The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 201 Mountains and Flowing Water (2)
After Su Ling made preparations this afternoon, she also prepared all the congratulatory gifts for the birthday banquet.

The low-key and luxurious carriage passed through the spacious street and arrived in front of the magnificent palace gate.

Only Xuanyuan Mo dared to do this, and the other ministers would arrive early on such a day, waiting for the emperor's presence in the hall.

Xuanyuan Mo can be regarded as the latest among the ministers. Although his arrival is low-key and does not want to attract attention, all the ministers will be watching the palace gate, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and empress, so Xuanyuan Mo's arrival can be described as It attracted everyone's attention, and Su Ling who was beside Xuanyuan Mo at the moment also attracted people's attention.

"Hey, isn't this the girl next to Mr. Xuanyuan last time? She even won against Princess Dongyi! Why is she standing side by side with Mr. Xuanyuan this time?" Some people wondered, because Su Ling's identity last time was a little girl. Maid girl, even though she won, she didn't attract too many people's attention. Now that she stood side by side with Xuanyuan Mo this time, the ministers talked a lot. Of course, the discussions were all in a low voice.

That's right, originally in this era, apart from women, men were subordinates, and those who could stand side by side with men, their status can be imagined, especially Xuanyuan Mo's status is still so noble.

"Which daughter is this? Why have I never seen her before? She is only about ten years old like that. How can she be qualified to stand beside Mr. Xuanyuan? That should be my position." A certain woman said angrily. Said, obviously very dissatisfied with Su Ling.

"Who says it's not! I don't know what Mr. Xuanyuan is thinking, so I let a bean sprouts stand beside him. Look at that small body, is it as tall as me? Is it as beautiful as me?" A seductive The woman asked her personal servant girl, insisting that she give herself an explanation.

Although Xuanyuan Mo is usually cold, his conditions are still very attractive. It is normal for some official ladies in the capital to have thoughts about him, but these people have no chance to get close to Xuanyuan Mo, so naturally there is no way. They have expressed their feelings, and they have very few chances to see Xuanyuan Mo, so they finally met once. Of course, they must try their best to get his attention. No, seeing a woman beside him, how can they not be angry? !You know, everyone in the capital knows that Xuanyuanmo hates all female animals, except for her mother. It is said that since his mother passed away, he has never seen a woman close to him, and Su Ling not only once, It was by his side twice.

Poor Su Ling became the imaginary enemy of this group of women. Not to mention these officials, even those Huang Gong ministers are very concerned about this matter. Of course, their concern is only to know Su Ling's identity , which family the Xuanyuan family plans to marry, how they should stand in line or what measures should they take, in fact, I have to say that they really think too much.

At this moment when everyone was talking about it, the emperor and the queen arrived!

"The emperor is here, the empress is here, and the imperial concubine is here." If you say that this concubine is really favored, which concubine usually has such honor, and accepts the bowing down of all the ministers together with the empress.

Even if he didn't want to, Su Ling had to kneel down with everyone to worship the empress.

First of all, the daughters of various families came to celebrate their birthdays.

This session was arranged by the queen, and of course the queen had to preside over it.

"In this way, for the sake of fairness, all the daughters will draw lots to determine the order of the stage! And this time the judges will be served by the ministers. You have seen the flowers on your table! Every contestant will have a flower. If you think her performance is good, you can give this flower to her. Of course, if you think she is not good, you can keep this flower and give it to the performer you think is good. Who can please the emperor in this performance? There will be a lot of rewards." The queen signaled the eunuch beside her to take the label with the serial number written on it and give it to the daughters of the families to draw.

Of course, don't think that this is fair. From the results of the lottery, it can be seen that the young lady of the Baili family is ranked first, and since Su Ling was specially invited by the queen, even if she didn't know her identity, she would Among them, the number she drew was relatively late. At that time, everyone was full of food and drink, and after watching it, they were all visually fatigued. Unless it was a specially prepared program, otherwise, they would no longer be able to Some people are paying attention to the situation on the court, and they all want to go home to rest. I have to say that the queen's move is quite powerful, and it unknowingly gave her a difficult problem, and she couldn't refute it. Do you dare to say that this is unfair?
"Next, all the daughters will start to perform. The fifth lady from Baili's family, Baili Qingqing, will be on stage first."

"The little girl is showing her ugliness." The ethereal voice came, and the graceful figure of Baili Qingqing came up, gave a blessing in the direction of the emperor and queen, and then walked to the stage.

I saw the person on the stage move her slender fingers slightly, and a piece of "High Mountain and Flowing Water" overflowed from her fingertips. Everyone was immersed in this beautiful world, even Su Ling, who didn't know how to appreciate such lofty music. People also think that Baili Qingqing is really beautiful at this time, of course, she only refers to her movements at this time. As for the music, she really doesn't know how to evaluate it, but seeing everyone's intoxicated appearance should be pretty good right!

She was dressed in white clothes, as if shrouded in smoke, just like the fairy in the clouds.

How did she know that many of these people were not immersed in music, but were attracted by Baili Qingqing's beauty.

After the song was over, everyone still hadn't walked out of this beautiful world. It was unknown who came to their senses first and applauded.There was thunderous applause throughout the hall.

Immediately, there were whispers.

Young Master A: "Miss Baili played a truly amazing piece! It will be memorable for a long time." Obviously, this person may have a little knowledge of music.

Young Master B: "Yes, yes! If you can marry such a fairy-like lady, what a blessing it will be!" This man obviously fell in love with Baili Qingqing's beauty.

This Baili Qingqing is highly praised by the young masters in the capital, also, who makes her a bit talented, beautiful, and most importantly, has such an outstanding family background, can everyone not praise her!

The emperor saw that the crowd was very enthusiastic, and Baili Qingqing was the first to play, so he had no choice but to follow the crowd.

"Okay, there is a reward." It's just that I don't know what the reward is.

Liu Mengmei, the son of the Liu family, felt that the piano was not very good, it was just a flower stand, without any emotion, and he didn't know why everyone was still praising her like this. , but looked at Su Ling from time to time, he still hoped that Su Ling could create a miracle tonight and give everyone a surprise!
