The next moment, only the sound of the pipa was heard, and she was seen with her face covered by gauze, wearing a red dress as red as blood, and the kodan on her fingers was even more exquisite. She played the strings skillfully, and her watery eyes looked left and right frequently, charming and moving. , which is even more captivating.
Shangguan Han borrowed the idea of the courtesan Yao Shishi. Halfway through playing the pipa, the red gauze around her ears suddenly "fell off", revealing her gorgeous red lips and exquisite makeup.
Mu Lingwei looked at it and cursed in her heart: "This makeup is too gorgeous. It is exactly the same as that of the concubine in her 30s who is in a high position. Upon closer inspection, the two of them are still very similar. They are always uncles and nephews. They have the same relationship." Being from the Shangguan family, it’s not surprising that they have similar looks.”
Shen Yu was also stunned and thought to himself: "Shanggguan Taifei and Shangguan Han are both beauties, but Shangguan Han is as beautiful as a flower. Of course, the younger one is more exciting."
Jun Mohan's eyes suddenly turned cold. Han'er didn't want to marry into the palace, and she still wanted to be in the limelight. Han'er's thoughts were still too simple.
At this moment, he felt a line of sight staring closely at him, so he raised his glass and looked towards that line of sight...
He saw "Zhou Waner" staring at him blankly. A trace of disgust flashed in Jun Mohan's eyes and he avoided her gaze. When he thought of pretending to flatter Zhou Waner tonight, his eyes were filled with coldness.
He suddenly thought of Mu Lingwei's ridicule and disgust towards him, and his heart tightened. He wondered what she was doing at this time.
Shang Yang was trapped at home and didn't know what was happening in the Zhou Mansion. Who would have thought that Zhou Waner would disfigure herself and let Mu Lingwei attend the banquet in her place.
The Zhou family members all protect "Zhou Waner", so naturally no one will doubt that she is not the real Zhou Waner.
Zhou Zixuan also offered a toast to Prince Anyang's wine, but the two of them didn't say much and just exchanged glasses as usual.
Mu Lingwei saw that his attention was not on her at all. He should have already known that she was "Zhou Waner", but he seemed to have no intention of contacting her.
This was something that moved her a little. When she encountered a pool of wine and meat with so many beauties, at least this man had a firm look in his eyes.
Mu Lingwei suddenly felt elated. When she entered the mansion, she saw the red plum blossoms in Shangguan Mansion blooming beautifully. She wanted the Zhou family to arrange a chance encounter between Merlin and him.
For his reputation, at least it's better than being in the room.
Just now, just to make Shen Yanyan angry, Gu Panpan had pulled her into a group. She also drank a little wine and felt that her face and ears were red. The singing and dancing in the hall were too noisy, and she wanted to go out for some quiet time.
So, Mu Lingwei winked at Nanny Xu, and while everyone's eyes were on Shangguan Han, she got up and walked out into the hall.
Suddenly, a domineering voice was heard...
"What kind of talent does Miss Zhou want to prepare? I heard that Miss Zhou's guzheng is outstanding among the ladies from aristocratic families, and she is also the best. Today, in front of the Dowager Empress, Miss Zhou also performed for us all, so that we can also Appreciate Zhou Waner's outstanding grace." Shen Yanyan said loudly, she had been staring at Zhou Waner for a long time, and just waiting for Shangguan Han's heavenly voice to end, she would make Zhou Waner embarrassed in public.
This comparison, tsk tsk, is really despised to the dust!
Talented girl? Is Zhou Waner a talented girl? Nanny Xu didn’t tell her.
The key is that she can't play the piano!
Mu Lingwei was dumbfounded for a moment and hesitated for a moment. Was this meant to make her look embarrassed?
It seems that what Shen Yanyan performed just now was dancing or singing, she forgot.
Suddenly, Shen Yanyan saw her timid appearance, as if she wanted to sneak away. How could she let go of such a good opportunity, so she loudly said: "Miss Zhou Waner is willing to perform her talent for us... Oh!"
At this time, Shangguan Han's performance had ended, and everyone cheered and cheered. Maybe Shen Yanyan's voice was too high, and instantly, everyone's eyes were attracted to her.
Therefore, there is much less praise for Shangguan Han.
At the same time, Shangguan Han also turned his attention to Mu Lingwei. Seeing her wearing white clothes, Shangguan Han's eyes instantly flashed with disgust. He dared to wear the same color clothes as Brother Han and her. I'm afraid this person didn't want to
Attracted the attention of King Anyang.
I heard that just now she sang with Gu Panpan in public and openly said that she liked King Anyang.
These Yingying Yanyan simply overestimate their abilities, but the more people like Jun Mohan, it means that she has better taste. When she gets him, she can be arrogant again.
Because Shangguan Han changed his clothes for the performance and wore red at this time, only Jun Mohan and "Zhou Waner" wore white clothes in the entire hall.
Mu Lingwei didn't know how to respond for a while. Mrs. Zhou quickly said: "Because Wan'er fell from the tree, she hurt her appearance and injured her hand, so it is inconvenient to perform for you tonight..." If it is
When the real Zhou Waner came, they brought Qin to prepare to attract the attention of King Anyang.
But now...
Zhou Zixuan also said: "My little sister, it's really inconvenient today, why don't I help you with your sword dance..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanyan saw that she had given in and the whole family had given in. She was even more sure that Mu Lingwei had no real ability, and said again: "Injured her hand? With Miss Zhou's skills, even if she hurt her hand, she would not refute the concubine's words.
To save face, I heard that Miss Wan'er's singing voice is also very beautiful, just like an oriole, why don't I play the piano for Miss Zhou while Miss Zhou sings for everyone's entertainment?"
She knew that Zhou Waner was infected with the cold and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant. She moved out as the concubine. Zhou Waner did not dare to refuse. She would definitely laugh out loud when she showed off her singing voice.
At this time, Gu Panpan also spoke and said: "Shen Yanyan, you are so despicable. You know clearly that Zhou Waner injured her hand, contracted the cold and hurt her throat, yet you still make things difficult for me like this."
"Everyone has performed. Miss Zhou can't just turn a blind eye." Shen Yanyan added: "I guess she didn't dare and deliberately pretended to be sick."
"I don't know if it was a real injury or a fake. Maybe I was afraid of making a fool of myself, so I deliberately covered my face with a piece of cloth..." Shen Yanyan was not merciless at all, let alone sympathetic.
When Mrs. Zhou thought that her daughter's face was really ruined, she burst into tears and said without hesitation: "Miss Shen, why are you so aggressive? Wan'er hurts her face and it's already very uncomfortable. You..."
Mu Lingwei finally understood that if the real Zhou Waner appeared in front of them and it was known that she was pregnant out of wedlock, she would probably be forced to hit a pillar and die on the spot.
In an instant, everyone looked at her, including those who sympathized with her, those who did not take the matter too seriously, and even those who were watching the show. All kinds of expressions were revealed.
There are never too many banquets like this in the aristocratic circle. It's like a killing field. Whoever loses will be ostracized, ridiculed, scolded...
