[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 371 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 15

The first row consists of children from royal families, such as the granddaughter of Princess Linyang.

Shangguan Feiyun and several noble ladies from first-rank officials' families stood in the second row, followed by several daughters of ministers.

With a chorus of support, the virtuous concubine who temporarily held the palace seal walked in front, and the other three concubines and three imperial concubines followed behind.

The ladies all bowed and then took their seats.

Since the purpose was to select tutors for the princesses, the four princesses also came.

The second princess came purely to watch the fun, while the other three wanted to see if there was any noble lady that caught their eye.

Among them, the third princess also had the purpose of choosing a sister-in-law for her brother.

Shangguan Feiyun was already stunningly beautiful, and after a period of training, her face became even more rosy and her figure became extraordinary, and her movements were free and easy.

Therefore, although she was still young, she immediately caught the attention of the four concubines.

Both Rong Fei and De Fei felt regretful in their hearts.

Gu Hongyao is nineteen years old this year, and Gu Hongyuan is eighteen years old this year. Neither of them is a good match for Shangguan Feiyun.

It was Concubine Xian who looked at Shangguan Feiyun a few more times.

Gu Hongying has no mother, and the concubines are not in a position to show up, so Emperor Qianqing asked Concubine Xian to help keep an eye on Gu Hongying.

Gu Hongying is seventeen years old this year. If she is willing to wait, she is a good match for Shangguan Feiyun in terms of age.

However, Concubine Xian was just thinking about it. She was not willing to do more things for Gu Hongying.

At the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, although it was Concubine Rong and Concubine De who were unlucky, it also made Concubine Xian look bad.

If Emperor Qianqing had not spoken up this time, she would not have bothered to care about Gu Hongying's affairs.

Do you also want her to work hard to find a high-quality wife for Gu Hongying whose maternal family is strong?

Go dream!

The virtuous concubine cast her eyes on those noble ladies whose families seemed glamorous, wondering what kind of lady she would find for Gu Hongying.

You have to be beautiful and have an impressive family background...

While presiding over the banquet, Concubine Xian was thinking in her heart.

After all, this was not a selection for the emperor, so there were not so many rules and requirements, and not many people came.

Each lady just needs to demonstrate one of her specialties and answer a few questions, and that's about it.

Considering that they were selecting tutors for the princess, the noble ladies in front basically chose music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Xin Yuzhen is good at calligraphy, and her Slender Gold style calligraphy is eye-catching.

Liu Xiwen was good at painting, and in just the time it took to stick an incense stick, he completed a painting of spring flowers and autumn moon.

Ouyang Suxin likes to wield swords and guns, but she was afraid of scaring people, so she just performed a sword dance.

The women present had never seen anything like this before, and the sword dance caused exclamations of surprise.

Seeing that Ouyang Suxin attracted everyone's attention, Xin Yuzhen almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face and looked at Ouyang Suxin with an unfriendly look.

Ouyang Suxin stopped, bowed and left.

Concubine Rong and Concubine De were also applauding, but in their hearts they both excluded Ouyang Suxin from the list of options for daughter-in-law.

In today's world, women are expected to be quiet and reserved. Ouyang Suxin is too outspoken and is not a good candidate to be a daughter-in-law.

The third princess' eyes lit up, and she thought Ouyang Suxin was quite good. She wondered in her heart whether she could keep her as her tutor.

As usual, Concubine Xian asked her a few questions, and Ouyang Suxin answered them one by one with a generous and appropriate attitude.

Shangguan Feiyun was watching with great interest. Su Jiu asked her, "Have you decided what talent you want to perform?"

Shangguan Feiyun chuckled: "Sister Xiaojiu, just wait and see!"

This kid is still keeping us in suspense?

Su Jiu laughed and became more curious.

Soon, it was Shangguan Feiyun's turn.

Xian Fei smiled and said, "What does Miss Shangguan want to show?"

Shangguan Feiyun replied sheepishly, "Your Majesty, I am a simpleton. I have only learned the basics of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and I only have some experience in entertainment. I am not talented, so I will perform a fancy shuttlecock kicking show for you ladies and princesses!"

Kicking shuttlecock?

When these words came out, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

What kind of talent is shuttlecock kicking?

The virtuous concubine was even more curious: "Oh? I also liked to play shuttlecock when I was young, but I don't know what this fancy shuttlecock kicking is like."

Rong Fei continued, "I see that Miss Shangguan is full of confidence. I believe this fancy shuttlecock kicking is... uh... an interesting talent. Then please let Miss Shangguan begin!"

Shangguan Feiyun bowed, took out a colorful shuttlecock from the small bag she was carrying, and threw it into the sky.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Kick, spinning kick, water drop, double big wrap, double flower...

Shangguan Feiyun's movements were far less smooth and coherent than Su Jiu's, and the shuttlecock fell twice in the middle, but it was enough to dazzle others.

The virtuous concubine even stood up, her eyes fixed on Shangguan Feiyun's movements.

Shangguan Feiyun showed off all the moves she learned from Su Jiu, and ended with a trick to catch a swallow in the snow.

She held the shuttlecock and saluted to the virtuous concubine and others with confidence: "Your performance has been completed."

"Excellent!" Concubine Xian led the applause, her eyes full of admiration. "Miss Shangguan, you are truly amazing! I have never seen any of your moves before. Today is truly an eye-opener!"

The Fifth Princess' eyes lit up when she saw this, and she pulled her mother, Concubine Xiang's hand and said coquettishly, "Mother, I want her to be my tutor!"

Concubine Xiang looked embarrassed, thinking that her daughter had very high standards.

Shangguan Feiyun is the daughter of the prime minister and the niece of the late queen. Her father and brother are also favored by the emperor. Everyone knows that she came here just for formalities.

My silly daughter actually asked someone to be her tutor. That's quite a bold idea.

The third princess was also very interested in Shangguan Feiyun, but before she came, Concubine Rong had already explained some precautions to her in detail, so when she heard what the fifth princess said, she didn't say anything and just watched the joke silently.

Shangguan Feiyun finished her presentation and returned to her seat.

"Sister Xiaojiu, I'm awesome, right?" Shangguan Feiyun was very proud.

Su Jiu quickly gave the child a thumbs up and praised him: "Awesome! Really awesome! You've inherited my true skills!"

Shangguan Feiyun happily ate the pastries on the table while watching other people's talents.

The following performances were nothing special and were mostly average.

After all, the ladies of high rank had no worries about food and clothing, and they didn't bother to cultivate any special talents. They were content with just getting by.

The banquet didn't end until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Shangguan Feiyun had eaten all the cakes on her seat, but she still felt very hungry and could only stare blankly at the cakes on the tables of other noble ladies.

Sitting next to her was Liu Xiwen, who inexplicably felt that Shangguan Feiyun looked a little pitiful as she held her stomach, so she secretly handed the pastries on her table to Shangguan Feiyun while no one was paying attention.

Shangguan Feiyun's eyes lit up, and she quickly took it, smiling and whispering thanks: "Thank you, Sister Liu."

Liu Xiwen said nothing, just smiled.

Finally, the last noble lady's performance ended and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Feiyun was so hungry that she saw stars and had no strength to speak. She could only sigh to Su Jiu in her heart: "It's finally over!"
