Chapter 47
Shen Shensi endured the colic and hurriedly finished the dance after only ten turns. Her face was red and tears were in her eyes. She clamped her legs and saluted tremblingly: "I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health. "
The Queen Mother held her nose in disgust: "Okay, get down quickly."
The queen winked, and a palace maid trotted over: "Miss Shen, the cleaning room is over here."
As soon as this sentence came out, many people laughed in a low voice.
It's so embarrassing.
Shen Shensi almost ran away, but the palace maid reminded: "Miss Shen has a delicate spleen and stomach. The Queen is considerate and will not pursue you for causing disturbance. Miss Shen should go back to the house to rest first. I hope you will behave carefully in the future."
This is driving her back.
The Queen Mother and the Empress disliked her.
What would the Queen Mother think of her, and what would the Third Prince think of her?
No, maybe everyone present today, although no one said anything in public, everyone must have laughed in their hearts.
A noble lady had diarrhea in public on such an important occasion!
Although Shen Sisi suppressed it hard, there was still a small stain on her trousers. She was full of shame. Fortunately, ladies would bring a spare set of clothes when they attended the banquet. But the palace was so big that when the maids went to get some clothes to change into, I don’t know how long it has been since the birthday party.
Of course, she had no shame in going back, and the queen wouldn't let her go back, so she could only go back home in despair.
Trying to remember, she only ate some snacks in the garden today, but she didn't dare to say.
Do you want her to ask the queen if there is anything wrong with the food? She doesn't have the guts. Besides, why is it okay for others to eat it?
By the way, Shen Qingyun, it was Shen Qingyun who handed her the snack!
She must have poisoned the snack!
Shen Qingyun was taking revenge by making her look embarrassed in public.
What she thought was absolutely correct.
Shen Shensi wants to take a topical one, and Shen Qingyun takes it internally. If you want me to be embarrassed in front of others, I will make you embarrassed in front of others.
Fortunately, the air in the Yaohua Palace was well ventilated, and the smell dissipated after people left. The palace maid held a scented lamp and poured wine for everyone, and the scene calmed down for a while.
But the Queen Mother's face still looked a little ugly, and even the Emperor was a little displeased.
It was a wonderful birthday banquet, but why did something like this happen, and people couldn't speak openly about it?
Princess Jing'an naturally would not miss such a good opportunity and said softly: "I wonder what the second Miss Shen family is going to perform?"
Everyone is waiting to see Shen Qingyun's good show.
If Shen Qingyun performs well, that's it. If the performance is not good and both ladies of Duke Shen's mansion fail one after another, they will definitely become the laughing stock of Kyoto.
Han glanced at Shen Qingyun nervously, wanting to say something, but in full view of everyone, it was difficult to comfort her with words.
Shen Qingyun blessed the Queen Mother with a blessing, but remained calm and unhurried, neither humble nor overbearing: "To inform the Queen Mother, I am going to play a piece of music to wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday."
I didn't expect that such a beautiful woman would stand up. She was dressed in gorgeous and festive clothes, but her voice was cold and concise, which alleviated the Queen Mother's displeasure a lot.
A eunuch went to bring up Shen Qingyun's piano.
Shen Qingyun sat down, raised her jade fingers lightly, revealing her slender white wrist, touched the surface of the piano, and pondered deeply.
Everyone looked at the sudden appearance of this beautiful girl with some curiosity, expecting whether the sound she played would be as beautiful as her appearance.
However, Shen Qingyun took back her hand: "I'm telling the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, my piano was scratched and the strings cannot be played."
In order to prevent Shen Sisi from playing tricks on her, Shen Qingyun was careful. Just as he was about to play, he discovered that there were inconspicuous cuts on the strings. If he played rashly, the strings would probably break in the middle of playing.
More importantly, if you hurt your finger, accidentally see blood at the birthday banquet, and offend the Queen Mother, I am afraid that you will not be able to leave the palace safely today.
Anger flashed across Princess Jing'an's eyes, and Xiao Tao's body trembled.
The queen frowned: "How could such a thing happen?"
The palace maid went to check, and sure enough she also found cut marks on the strings. She couldn't help but admire Miss Shen's sharp mind, and she couldn't see it even if she wasn't paying attention.
"I got a new 'Zuoliang' today, let's play it for Miss Shen." King Li, who had been deliberately ignored, suddenly spoke, and his cold and magnetic voice shocked everyone.
Princess Jing'an looked at Prince Li in disbelief, but was shocked by the coldness in his eyes.
The emperor glanced at King Li, his eyes full of surprise, teasing and inquiry: "Follow King Li's instructions."
The emperor had given the order, so the people below him naturally took action immediately.
The queen also immediately expressed her attitude: "Miss Shen, please wait a moment. As for your piano, I will definitely send someone to check it out."
Shen Qingyun thanked the Queen and sat quietly on the stage, calmly accepting the looks of people from all walks of life.
Some ladies and gentlemen were observing Shen Qingyun's appearance and dress, and they couldn't help but exclaimed that the hibiscus was not as good as the beauty makeup, and the wind in the water palace brought the fragrance of pearls and greens.
Others were concerned about King Li's unusual attitude. This was the first time that he would take the initiative to help a woman out of trouble.
People who know the qin want to see the elegance of the "Rao Liang". As the name of the qin suggests, it is said that the lingering sound lingers around the beam for three days. Some people even feel a little pity. They heard that Shen Qingyun grew up in the countryside, and such a good qin is , and I don’t know if I can make the best use of it.
Everyone had different thoughts, and their attention reached its peak at this moment.
But Shen Qingyun's calm and measured performance at this moment has gained a lot of favor.
After a while, two young eunuchs carried the 'Rao Liang' up.
Judging from the appearance alone, the piano body is nothing special.
Shen Qingyun flicked her hands across the body of the piano, as if she could already feel the subtlety and richness of the piano. She smiled faintly, her eyes sparkled, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and as she turned her fingers, the sound of the piano slowly flowed out.
She played a famous song. In her previous life, she had practiced this song hard for Jiang Lin.
But Jiang Lin only said: "You are narrow-minded, melancholy and confused, and the music of the piano is unbearable. If you had the half-distracted nature of thinking, you would not be so unsuccessful."
She has always been denied and belittled, and she cannot see through it.
Life will always come to an end, and the music will eventually come to an end. In her previous life, she lived a frustrated and useless life, but now that she has been reborn, her heart seems to have finally broken free from the shackles.
No matter if she has to let the whole world down, she just wants to live up to herself in this life.
The sound of the piano is as ethereal as weeping and complaining, and also like mountains and flowing water, with a gentle and gurgling charm. After the euphemism, it reveals fortitude and comes clearly. This sound seems to have a strange appeal, making people unconsciously immerse themselves in their own memories. Recall those unknown grievances and pains, recall those surprises and expectations after suffering...
The song ends, and the lingering sound lingers.
