Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 527 The first bloom of beauty, the seven wonders of Kyoto (4)
Qiu Mingzhu said nothing.

Qiu Mingyue suddenly chuckled, "Fourth sister, tell me, the eldest lady has been domineering in the Qiu manor for so long, shouldn't it be time to retire bravely?"

"Ok?"

Qiu Mingzhu raised her head to look at her, her eyes were puzzled, and there seemed to be hidden guesses in her eyes.

"Fifth sister, what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just talking casually."

Qiu Mingyue suppressed her smile and her eyes became indifferent.

"It's about to start, Fourth Sister can listen to it. I'm curious, what kind of gorgeous and beautiful are the famous double masters in Kyoto?"

Qiu Mingzhu was a little surprised, "Hasn't Fifth Sister already gotten along well with them?"

Qiu Mingyue smiled lightly, without squinting.

"Fourth sister, hit it off is not suitable for wealthy nobles, let alone women. At most—" She swung her sleeves, with a faint smile on her lips, "It's just like-minded. If it comes to friendship, it depends on the future." fate."

Qiu Mingzhu frowned, seeing Qiu Mingyue's eyes were calm, she still didn't ask any more questions.

And Feng Qingyao was already sitting in the center holding the piano, Yin Qingyin was sitting next to her holding the pipa, and Yin Qingzhen was standing in the middle, ready to dance at any time.

At this time, Yu Wenxi suddenly said: "Oh, the Kyoto Shuangjue is going to perform, such a rare scene, how can I be missing?" She stood up, and suddenly there was a sword in her hand.

"Aunt Zu, I heard that you were quite proficient in swordsmanship and martial arts when you were young. I have heard about your deeds since I was a child. My parents loved me and allowed me to practice martial arts. Anyway, there are so many people performing, why not add me ? Or let Aunt Zu point out my swordsmanship, it will be of great benefit."

"Isn't it monotonous for you to dance the sword alone?"

Xu Tianyu also walked up, smiling and talking.

"Add me, wouldn't it be wonderful for us to dance swords?"

There was an uproar.

Originally, it was Feng Qingyao who performed the piano skills, but later on there were two sisters from the Yin family to help out. I didn't expect that now, there were more county lords from Ping'an Houfu and the granddaughter of General Xu.

Princess Zhennan obviously didn't expect this scene either. Her gaze was slightly slanted, and she looked at Mrs. Xu, who had been sitting alone and dozed off since she stepped into the Danhua Garden.Seeing that although her eyelashes fluttered a bit, she still didn't open her eyes, as if she didn't hear anything outside the window.

"Madam Xu?"

She called tentatively.In the entire Danhua Garden, only Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Luo are of the same generation.Although his status was one level lower, General Xu was also a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was deeply favored by the emperor.Compared with a king with a different surname who was away all the year round, the Xu family was undoubtedly more valued by the emperor.

Mrs. Xu supported her head with her hands, without opening her eyes, she just said calmly: "Well, that's fine, let me see if Xu girl's swordsmanship has improved."

Princess Zhennan choked and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Shangguan Mowen also stood up with a smile.

"Several younger sisters are on stage, how can I be the only one missing?"

During this period of time, Qiu Mingxia was depressed, and she didn't have the time to take care of Zhongfu, so she handed everything over to Mrs. Uncle Zhongshan.Mrs. Uncle Zhongshan was considerate of her, so she didn't blame her, and concentrated on taking care of the family at home, so Shangguan Mowen left the mansion alone today.

As soon as she came out, everyone's eyes fell on her again.His eyes were a bit weird.

"Hehe, forgive me for being ignorant, but I didn't know that Miss Shangguan has a very good personal relationship with the little Princess Qingyao."

Dou Yunzi smiled softly, "A woman's talent display is nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and lyrics. The sword dance performed by Lord Yuwenjun and Miss Xu is surprising, but what talent does Miss Shangguan have?"

Shangguan Mowen didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in her words, and smiled faintly.

"I am no more talented than my younger sisters. I can barely compose a poem to suit the occasion. Ms. Dou, please don't laugh at me."

Dou Yunzi stopped talking.

But Lin Yuntong suddenly said, "My cousin is very talented, and she can write poems. My cousin's husband, Uncle Zhongshan, is also talented, and he is in harmony with his cousin. Hehe, the family of Shangguan has produced talented men and women, but in the past, people only remembered Uncle Zhongshan. My son, I have forgotten about Miss Shangguan. It’s okay, since Miss Shangguan is willing to appear on the stage today, so that I can see it later, it will definitely benefit me a lot.”

The old concubine Luo didn't say a word, she dared to agree so arrogantly for the old concubine Luo.With such a conceited attitude, Lin Yuntong is the only one who can speak out among the people present.

Old Concubine Luo's eyes darkened for a moment, and Mrs. Xu opened her eyes slightly, as if realizing something.

Qiu Mingyue was about to drink tea, but she couldn't help but look back after hearing this.It happened to touch Lin Yuntong's arrogant and arrogant posture, as if he was supercilious, always looking down on others.

She smiled slowly.

In the eyes of others, Lin Yuntong's arrogance may have offended the old concubine Luo somehow, but she understood that Lin Yuntong was giving the old concubine Luo a bad blow.Since the grand master trained her to be the queen of the next generation, she must be the eldest prince's concubine.Then for the old concubine Luo, the greatest assistant of Concubine De, she naturally wanted to suppress her.

The eldest prince frowned, but didn't say anything, just watched with cold eyes.

The rest of the people, such as Princess Rong of Zhennan, did not speak. They seemed to have reached a consensus, and they all remained silent, waiting for the development of the matter.

Old Princess Luo's eyes were dark, she squinted her eyes and looked at the people on the stage, as if she was thinking about something.Luo Zhuyin has been sitting quietly beside her, not saying a word.

"Fifth sister?"

Qiu Mingzhu sensitively sensed that something was wrong, so she spoke softly.

"Do you have a share in today's game?"

Qiu Mingyue drank tea calmly, "Why did Fourth Sister say that?"

Qiu Mingzhu thought for a while, "Just now you came back with the Princess and the others. From the moment I stepped into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, from the time the eldest princess made things difficult for you, from the first time I saw Old Princess Luo, I felt that she It's not easy. The eldest princess is her granddaughter, who was forced to go back to the palace just now by Lord Yuwenjun and you. Although the old concubine Luo said nothing on the surface, how can she not be angry in her heart? That's why she just suggested that Qingyao I felt that something was wrong when the princess performed. Now things are developing so unexpectedly, from the performance of Princess Qingyao alone, to a joint performance by so many people with their own charms."

She lowered her voice, and said to Qiu Mingyue: "Fifth sister, are you trying to give the old Princess Luo a bad blow?"

Qiu Mingyue put down the white jade cup, and rubbed her fingers against the pattern on the cup, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Fourth sister is transparent, since she understands, why do you need to ask again?"

Her eyes were fixed and indifferent, she looked at the seven people on the stage, and said indifferently: "I offended the eldest princess today, and the old princess Luo will take action on me sooner or later. Rather than waiting for others to make a move and I passively accept the move, it is better for me to strike first , and strive for the initiative. If we fight like this, I have a three-point chance of winning."
