The Queen Mother Fu spoke loudly, enough for most people in the hall to hear it. The adults who were already drunk suddenly woke up and looked at the seat. Seeing that Queen Mother Fu was so leisurely, the Queen showed displeasure and couldn't help looking at each other with the people around her, exchanged her eyes, and then she didn't make a sound in tacit understanding, and watched it quietly.
The queen tried to save it, "It seems that the song and dance arranged by the palace made the Queen Mother unhappy. This is all my fault. The Ming Japanese Palace decided to choose the best musicians and maki in the palace and specially sent them to Taichang Palace for the Queen Mother to appreciate it!"
The queen wanted to pick up the plane and disconnect the Queen Mother Fu wanted Xu Shu to play a song to cheer up. Queen Mother Fu clearly saw the queen's intentions, how could the queen get what she wanted? "It's not fun to watch too much singing and dancing in the palace, but the famous Ai family in the capital has not watched it well for more than ten years! Since Miss Zheng Jiu is appreciated by the Queen, she thinks it has something extraordinary, and it just so that the Ai family can have a long experience. Miss Zheng Jiu is willing to play a song for all the princes and concubines and ladies here?"
Queen Mother Fu directly bypassed the queen and made a request to Xu Shu. She probably felt that Xu Shu could not refuse her in such an occasion!
But Xu Shu is Xu Shu! She is not just anyone else, so naturally she cannot guess Xu Shu’s ideas with the thinking of ordinary people.
Xu Shu sat in the position without moving. Zhou Jin looked at Empress Dowager Fu with some dissatisfaction, and with a warning, Empress Dowager Fu had no intention of restraint.
"What? Miss Zheng Jiu doesn't want to? Are all the princes and princesses here and the adults and ladies not worthy of listening to the songs you played by Miss Zheng Jiu?"
As soon as Empress Dowager Fu said this, she forced Xu Shu into a dead end. If Xu Shu didn't agree, she would look down on all the dignitaries here. This was really an offensive word.
Xu Shu then slowly stood up and worshiped everyone around her, with a comprehensive and impeccable manner.
"The Empress Dowager should not have resigned, but..."
Queen Mother Fu raised her eyebrows. She had long guessed that Xu Shu would not be able to submit so easily. And as far as she knew, Xu Shu had been a blind man for so many years and had no attainment in Qin's art, so she wanted to take this opportunity to make Xu Shu look ugly. Anyone who mentioned Xu Shu would only think that she was an ignorant embroidered pillow. How could such an incompetent candid bag worthy of the crown prince of a country?
"Just what? Does Miss Zheng Jiu want to say that she is not good at piano skills? The Queen just said that Miss Zheng Jiu is omnipotent and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!"
Queen Mother Fu lied openly, but the queen was unable to refute it. She was anxious. Seeing Xu Shu calm and unhappy, she was a little relieved. I hope Xu Shu had already had a solution!
"The Queen is so proud of her love, but her daughter only knows a little bit, and she is not proficient!" When Xu Shu said this, others would only feel that she was humble.
Sure enough, Queen Mother Fu smiled and said, "Miss Zheng Jiu is too modest! The Ai family can't wait to hear you play a song!"
Xu Shu bowed to the Queen Mother again, "The Queen Mother respects his ministers so much, but his ministers can only disappoint the Queen Mother!"
Queen Mother Fu's face froze, "What did you say?"
Xu Shu looked at Empress Dowager Fu calmly, "Please forgive me for my crimes. My daughter cannot play a song for Empress Dowager and you all!"
"Why?" Queen Mother Fu was so sank like water. She really didn't expect Xu Shu to dare to reject her in front of so many people, embarrass her!
"My daughter has been practicing in front of the Buddha for several years. The master in the temple often said that nourishing the body and mind is self-control. Do not be happy with others, do not be sad with others, stick to their nature, be as solid as a rock, and be as seductive as a pile of silk, so that they can obtain the true self! The elders in the family also teach them at all times. Women should be based on tranquility and elegance when dealing with the world, read poetry and books diligently, be polite and uphold integrity. They must not forget the etiquette of the boudoir because of the momentary victory or defeat, and must not make frivolous and humble acts that please others like a savage!"
When Queen Mother Fu calls out a name, she has to listen to Xu Shu playing a song. She is not in her heart that she treats Xu Shu as a musician. Xu Shu clearly tells the difference between a lady from a talented man, and says that playing a lady in public is a frivolous and humble act that pleases others. Queen Mother Fu has to force Xu Shu to play a song, which is to admit that she treats Xu Shu as a talented man!
Queen Mother Fu smiled gloomy and said without a smile, "It seems that Meng Lang of the Ai family has almost made Miss Zheng Jiu a fool of his master and destroy his ancestors!"
"The Empress Dowager is so serious, but my daughter is deeply taught by the elders, so it is really hard to violate it. Please forgive me!"
"Since Miss Zheng Jiu is unwilling, the Ai family cannot be in trouble, so that's all. Just treat it as the nonsense of the Ai family after being drunk!" Empress Dowager Fu finally could only make up for her unwillingness.
"The Empress Dowager is kind and generous, and does not care about the impoliteness of his ministers. He is very grateful!" Xu Shu took it away when she saw the favor, and she still gave Empress Dowager Fu mercy!
"How can the Ai family care about it? The Ai family admires your noble and noble demeanor!"
Queen Mother Fu gritted her teeth. How dare she care? If she cares about it, she will become a villain who bullies others by virtue? Xu Shu looked at people and animals with harmlessness, but she was actually the most insidious and cunning. She was obviously her resistance to the order in public, but she just said that she was wrong. What an eloquent and wise mouth, one day she would tell her to know that she was powerful!
"The Zheng family is really good at teaching!" Empress Dowager Fu looked at the queen sinisterly, "It is worthy of being the queen's favorite person. Even the Ai family wants to take good care of her!"
Even though she knew that this was a scene of the empress dowager's verbal disagreement, the empress still had to look flattered, "The empress dowager loves her, that's her blessing!"
Queen Mother Fu turned the jade bracelet on her wrist and said quietly, "The Ai family must love her!" After that, she took off the bracelet on her wrist, "This bracelet was given to the Ai family by the late Emperor of the Winter Solstice the year the Ai family entered the palace. The Ai family has never left her body, so I will give it to Miss Zheng Jiu today!"
I don’t know what the Queen Mother sells in the gourd, but the Queen instinctively refused, “This gift is too expensive, how can she, a child, afford it!”
"She can bear it when the Ai family rewards her!" Queen Mother Fu said and waved to Xu Shu, "Come here, the Ai family will put it on with you in person!"
Xu Shu stood up calmly, "Thank you for the reward of Empress Dowager!" No matter what medicine the Empress Dowager sold in the gourd, she was fearless. When soldiers came to block the water and soil, she was a person who had died several times, and there was nothing to be afraid of!
Queen Mother Fu looked at Xu Shu with a sneer and walked forward. As long as Xu Shu approached, she threw the bracelet to the ground. She could not escape the charge of disrespect!
