Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 859: Gold and jade cannot match scrap metal

At this time, a concubine sitting next to Concubine Wei proposed with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Miss Lu family plays the piano very well. Why not let the Miss Lu family play a piece of music for fun?"

Concubine Wei readily agreed: "It's good of course."

Miss Lu, who was named, had the precedent of Miss Huang just now, and she was smart enough to know Concubine Wei's purpose.

So she stood up Yingying and said apologetically: "Such a poor piano skill was noticed by the empress, and I am flattered."

"It's just that I accidentally injured my hand a few days ago, and it's not fully recovered yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to play beautiful music, and it will only disturb everyone's enjoyment."

Concubine Wei said softly: "It won't be a problem."

The concubine who suggested playing the piano for fun turned her attention to Bai Xiuying: "Since the girl from the Lu family hurts her hand, then you can do it, girl from the Bai family."

"You didn't happen to hurt your hand, right? If you say that, I'll take it as an excuse."

When Bai Xiuying heard this, she raised her hands to show everyone.

When everyone looked surprised, she spoke in a neither humble nor condescending tone: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to use excuses to deceive your Majesty."

"My daughter's hands are useless not only for playing the piano and embroidering, but also for writing and painting. I have disappointed my empress."

Those slender hands were already covered with old and new calluses.

The thin and white palms have also become thicker. They are used to holding swords and have become rough. They have long lost the traces of pampering.

How can such hands produce beautiful piano sounds?
The concubine who spoke just now was chattering, and then asked unwillingly: "What about dancing? What about poetry?"

"The poetry and etiquette of the Bai family has been passed down to the family. You can't have a girl from the Bai family. She doesn't have the most basic skills, right?"

The fourth aunt wanted to speak, but Bai Xiuying held down her mother's hand.

She responded with a smile: "Thank you for your love, your Majesty. There are so many people here, and your Majesty seems to be particularly interested in me. It shows that I have a special affinity with you."

"It's just that if this kind of good thing is obtained by just one girl, the girls in the other mansions will be sad."

At this point, Bai Xiuying said no more.

The concubine was humiliated twice in public, and she was a bit embarrassed.

Concubine Wei looked at Bai Xiuying, half-smiling but not smiling: "Sixth girl, no matter what you know, you should not keep it secret. Pushing the envelope and talking full of excuses is really disappointing."

Everyone knew that Concubine Wei was displeased, and they all lowered their heads with panic on their faces.

Bai Xiuying stood up and bowed slowly: "I'm really sorry for spoiling everyone's fun!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.

Logically speaking, when things have developed to this point, Bai Xiuying should apologize sincerely and then perform in public, which is the best way to appease the anger of the imperial concubine.

However, she said this without saltiness.

What does it mean?
I don’t understand the hint of the imperial concubine, but she is still against the imperial concubine.

This makes people so angry that they have nowhere to vent their anger.

However, Concubine Wei showed a smile and suddenly smashed the cup in her hand.

With a "bang" sound, the tea cup fell into pieces.

That crisp sound was like the sound of a knife blade falling on his neck.

Mixed with the anger of the dynasty's favorite concubine, it can destroy people's lives at any time.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and said, "My queen, please calm down."

Concubine Wei said coldly: "Bai Xiuying, I have given you shame, haven't you?!"

Bai Xiuying spoke slowly without the slightest fear: "I don't dare, please forgive me." Concubine Wei Guifei had already searched everything about Bai Xiuying. She knew that among the girls in the Bai family, this was the youngest. The sixth girl is the least outstanding.

So she deliberately invited some well-known talented women in the capital to attend this tea party.

These noble ladies each have their own strengths, such as Miss Huang, who is more outstanding in manners; Miss Lu, who plays the piano well.

Some of the other ladies are good at painting and some are good calligraphers.

Others have profound attainments in female celebrities.

She originally wanted to use these noble ladies to make Bai Xiuying feel ashamed, and then humiliate Bai Xiuying severely in public, saying that Bai Xiuying was not worthy of being a good match for Yao'er.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiuying's attitude caused all plans to deviate from their original direction.

So she had to give up this roundabout approach and choose to go straight to the point.

So, using the excuse of getting angry, she prepared to give Bai Xiuying some color.

After hearing what Bai Xiuying said, she sneered even more: "Don't you dare? I look at Miss Six, you are very bold!"

As she said that, Concubine Wei's sharp eyes were instantly like steel needles on her fourth aunt: "As a mother, is this how you educate your daughter?"

"Look what you have taught me! It's just vulgarity, but it doesn't differentiate between superior and inferior. According to me, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, it's all because you are useless as a mother!"

What he said was particularly serious.

When everyone in the audience saw Concubine Wei getting so angry, they turned pale with fright and fell into silence.

But the fourth aunt, who had always been soft-spoken and easy to talk to, now showed her tough side.

But seeing her kowtow respectfully to Concubine Wei, she spoke slowly: "I don't know how my little daughter has offended the empress, and I would like to ask the empress to make it clear."

Concubine Wei saw that she couldn't control her fourth aunt, so she decided to do something more direct.

She shook her sleeves and got straight to the point: "Yesterday, Yao'er of this palace took away the famous bow from the Wei family, turned around and sent it to the White Mansion, that is, the sixth girl."

"I am very curious about what kind of woman can ask Yao'er to hand over the heirloom of my grandfather's family without blinking an eye."

"When I saw it today, I am really disappointed. You, the sixth girl of the Bai family, are placed among this pile of brocades, and you are not even considered a supporting green leaf."

"But this humble girl actually made Yao'er dizzy, which shows that her method is very impressive."

After a pause, Concubine Wei's face became even more contemptuous.

"Yao'er is young and careless, and can easily be deceived by traitors. However, I have bright eyes. I can tell at a glance whether it is a pearl or a rotten stone."

"I don't want a person who knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting to hang around Yao'er and have anything to do with Yao'er."

"So I hope that you, Madam, will be self-aware and teach your daughter not to think about things that are not possible. Clouds and mud are not compatible, and gold and jade are not compatible with broken copper and iron!"

These words can be said to be very serious.

Undisguised contempt and blatant ridicule.

How harmful is this to a young girl who has not yet discussed marriage?

Who in the future would dare to marry such a girl who was spurned by the favorite concubine of the dynasty?

Everyone present, no matter who was humiliated in public by the imperial concubine, would just turn around and find a rope to hang himself, so as not to be embarrassed in this world.

However, Bai Xiuying was very calm.

Although her hands were clenched, there was no trace of shame or anger on her face.

She spoke, and her clear and crisp voice resounded throughout the Imperial Garden.
