The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 79: Shen Jingci is in the limelight

However, Shen Jingci, who was also in the seat, had an ugly face. It is not unusual for aristocratic women to dance. However, in the information she collected, Xie Ruzhuo was normal, and rarely came out! It would be great if she could perform a complete tune, how could she perform such a difficult phoenix dance for nine days!

At this moment, only a "bang" was heard, and the string broke apart.

Xie Ruyue didn't expect the changes before her eyes. Seeing that the dance had jumped to the climax part, the strings broke at this moment. She knelt down immediately and said, "The emperor forgive the sins, and the empress forgive the sins."

Looking at Xie Ruzhuo again, he didn't stop because the strings broke, the strings could break, but the dance could not stop.

The person in the hall just wanted to talk, but saw that the woman in the center was still dancing, like a fairy concubine strolling through the flowers, beautiful to the point of thrilling.

Suddenly, there was a sound of flute, clear and clear sheng song, melodious tune.

Xie Ruyue immediately followed the reputation, and saw Xiao Junxi stood up somehow, holding a jade Xiao in her hand, slowly walking from her position to the side, and the sound came from his mouth.

Different from the bright and high sound of the piano, the sound of the flute is softer, coupled with the dance steps of Xie Ruzhuo, the cooperation of the two is better like a match made in heaven!

Xiao Junhan's expression had changed several times, and Xie Ruzhuo's indifference to him today had already made him endure to the limit. But after seeing her such a beautiful dance, he was somewhat shocked. Xiao Junhan loves beautiful women, and loves beautiful women to dance more. In order to please him, Xie Ruzhuo in the previous life had practiced this phoenix dance for nine days, but he didn't even get an opportunity to show it in front of him.

Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but glance at Xiao Junhan while he was spinning around.

This is the first time that she has shown this dance in front of people, but it is not for Xiao Junhan, but to thank the family. However, after seeing the obsession in Xiao Junhan's eyes, she suddenly became a little sick, and then turned her eyes away.

Unexpectedly, in Xiao Junhan's eyes, this was an expression of shyness. An unidentified emotion suddenly surged in his heart, which seemed to be agitated and joyful.

And all this made Zhang Xiuyan on the side almost mad. She knew that Xie Ruzhuo was uneasy in the room. She was obviously dancing. Xiao Junhan didn't look at herself, but stuck his eyes on Xie Ruzhuo. Also, just now, Xie Ruzhuo blatantly flirted with Xiao Junhan. This was not a deliberate seduction! She really wished she had a knife in her hand to dig out the eyes of this vixen!

After a dance, Xie Ruzhuo was already sweating on her clothes. She closed her movements and took a slight breath, and then solemnly pleaded guilty.

The emperor waved his hand first and smiled, "You are truly a wonderful dance. Not only will I not punish me, but I will also reward it!"

When the seventh princess heard the words, she suddenly said, "Father, you can't just reward her. If you don't have the help of your third brother, she can't dance so well!" I have to admit that the tacit understanding between the two is simply It was like a match made in heaven, Xiao Xinning was a little bit curious, but for the first time he had the idea of ​​matching the two.

"You clever ghost, well, all rewards!"

After the emperor was so happy that she rewarded sisters Xie Ruzhuo and Xiao Junxi, then he asked, "Whose lady is the next one?"

The next one is Shen Jingci.

"The emperor, the courtier is not talented, let's write a pair today." Shen Jingci walked out without a hassle, ordered someone to lift the table out and spread out a good rice paper.

Different from other papers, this paper is actually peach-pink, and it exudes a scent.

Seeing Shen Jingci's splashing ink, writing as if he were painting, the celebrity could not help but praise, "Looking at the skill of writing, it is definitely practiced since childhood, and his calligraphy is worthy of everyone!"

Xie Ruzhuo tightened his nerves, because the scene in the previous life was so stunning that it completely made Shen Jingci!

The weather outside was fine, and the sun was rarely warmed up. At this moment, a butterfly flew in from nowhere, flapping its colorful wings, tentatively approaching Shen Jingci who was writing.

With the first one, the arrival of the second one was much smoother. After a while, Shen Jingci was surrounded by a group of butterflies, like dancing around her.

Everyone stood up in surprise, holding their breath and daring not to speak, they all stared at Shen Jingci closely, for fear that they would miss this shocking scene!

Even the emperor stopped the smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at the woman in the center in surprise.

It was winter at this time. Butterflies should have long since ceased to exist, but at this time there were so many flying in and surrounding Shen Jingci. Could it be that there was no other purpose?

Sure enough, after Shen Jingci finished writing the last stroke, she saw the butterfly greedily pounce on the rice paper, gradually converging into one word: Chang.

"Go back to the emperor, the court and daughter's pairing is finished, please have a look at the emperor."

Shen Jingci's face was calm, and her smile remained so soft. The emperor followed her gaze and looked at the couplet on the paper, and saw that it read: People's livelihood is prosperous, and the three rivers are prosperous, and Anbang is connected to the four seas and the country is prosperous!

"That's right, that's right! The emperor, this pair is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but the prosperous characters gathered by these butterflies are saying that we want our country to prosper, and our country will be greatly strengthened!"

It was Yushi Sima Yan who was talking, and he was most familiar with these sloppy things on weekdays, and he did things very well. Therefore, I won your heart.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone immediately agreed, "I am prosperous in the country, and the emperor is full of prosperity!"

"Hahahaha, good! What a prosperous national luck!" Emperor Long Xindayue, looking at Shen Jing kindly said, "Shen Yuming really has a good daughter! Come, see and appreciate!"

When the emperor said this, Shen Jingci deliberately or unintentionally turned her gaze to Xie Ruzhuo, but to her disappointment, the latter did not put her mind on this matter at all, she looked like she was wondering. What.

As if no one appreciates her great feats, and the defeated man was not ashamed of her defeat, Shen Jingci suddenly became a little angry.

However, when the maidservant sent all these gold and silver jewels to Shen Jingci, she immediately took back her thoughts, first did not pick up these things, and then, in the emperor’s astonished eyes, knelt down and said, "The emperor, these gold and silver jewels cannot be collected by courtiers."

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Seeing Shen Jingci's sincere expression, the emperor asked, "Why don't you accept it, is it too small?" Just now, the emperor rewarded Shen Jingci more. If she said that she did not think it was too small, then I really don't know what is good or bad. But the emperor intuitively said that this woman would not say such a thing.

"No, in fact, on the contrary, the emperor's rewards are enough to make ordinary small households and old snacks last a lifetime." Shen Jingci said, raising his head, looking at the emperor sincerely, and said, "The courtier heard about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Thousands of people were displaced and starved to death on the streets. It is winter and the weather is freezing. We have nothing to worry about, but the victims are hungry and cold! Therefore, the minister decided to donate all these rewards to the country for disaster relief. !"

"Donate to the country?" The emperor frowned. He was shocked by Shen Jingci's words, but also felt a little strange, so he said, "Get up and talk."

Shen Jing graciously thanked the emperor before she stood up and said, "Yes. In fact, the ministers have always had an idea these days. Whenever the people are in trouble, the treasury will directly issue the relief money. As a result, some courtiers It is full of private pockets, so that five out of ten of the money in the hands of the victims are actually used. And if the treasury is empty in time of war, even the victims will not be able to take care of them, and they can only let them fend for themselves. The ministers racked their brains. I finally figured out a way, and that is to raise money! My celestial population is more than tens of thousands. If everyone can donate one or two silvers, this money will be kept by someone. When the disaster strikes, the money will be used. Isn't it a disaster relief that kills two birds with one stone?"

When the emperor heard the words, his eyes brightened, and he paid more attention to this woman, and asked seriously, "It's just that why should others donate money willingly?"

"The emperor, we can exchange things. For example, if I donate ten taels of silver, the court will issue a commendation letter and paste it on the list of the imperial city, or something that needs to be replaced, such as me. All the vases in front of you can be auctioned, and those with the highest price will get the money, and all the proceeds will be used for disaster relief!"

Shen Jing talked about it kindly. At the end, she said, "The courtiers are only superficial, and they just confessed to the emperor." She knew that her words would not be condemned, but would be a great achievement. Pieces!

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the emperor said, "No, you have made a great contribution! Look at you courtiers, but you are not as knowledgeable as a woman, you are not ashamed!" The emperor laughed again. , "Shen Yuming really will teach his daughter. When he returns to Beijing another day, I will definitely talk to him!"

As soon as this was said, everyone was a little jealous, why can't their daughters be so outstanding!

Xie Ruzhuo sketched a smile, and then stood up and said, "The emperor, the courtiers are willing to donate the total of five thousand taels of harvest from all the shops under his name in one year, so that they can be used for disaster relief."

Hearing this, the emperor also moved his eyes away from Shen Jingci. After seeing that it was the daughter of the Xie family, the emperor smiled and said, "You deserve to be the daughter of Xie Gong, and she is quite decent."

If it was said that Shen Jingci just used flowers to offer the Buddha, then Xie Ruzhuo is now really paying for it out of pocket. After such a comparison, some people recalled and felt that Shen Jingci only had one mouth. However, some people felt that Shen Jingci's merits were infinite, and as a result, the discussion underneath became even louder.

It was Master Zhang who spoke first and said with a slight irony, "The Xie family is rich, and this year's harvest can produce as much as five thousand taels."

Xie Ruzhuo sneered in his heart, Zhang Xiuyan's father really did the same with her. However, she didn't show it on her face, saying, "This is not the money of the Xie family, it's just the dowry shop left by my biological mother. The Xie family's Yan family is pure, in fact, these dowries are not too much. You can't be too little, the emperor. Now."

Speaking of this, Xie Ruzhuo stuck out his tongue delicately again, acting like a little daughter at home.

Upon seeing this, the emperor suddenly laughed and said, "It's not too small, if I don't think it is too small, wouldn't Xie Gong be knocking on the cane and go to the Imperial Study Room to teach!"

Everyone knew that he was joking, and they all laughed in response.

Seeing the emperor's attention shifted from her body to Xie Ruzhuo's place, Shen Jingci suddenly became a little dull, but because of the occasion, she couldn't get rid of it, so she lowered her head and picked up the handkerchief.

The clever minister had already said, "The emperor, the minister is willing to use a set of cloisonné enamel utensils in the house for that auction. In addition, the minister is willing to donate one thousand taels for disaster relief!"

With the leadership of this courtier, everyone else also opened their mouths one after another, donating more or less part of their property.

Jiang Zhu secretly returned to the hall while the crowd was busy. The butterflies had already dispersed, so she did not see this spectacle.
