After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 147: Showing off their talents

Seeing that she seemed very satisfied with the drink in front of her, Gulin also picked up the peach blossom milk soup in front of him and tasted it with rare interest.

He didn't like the sweet taste, but for some reason, he felt that today's peach blossom milk was very much to his liking.

Concubine Shu was very happy to see that everyone seemed to like the snacks and desserts she prepared.

Seeing this, Gu Wei also cast an admiring look at Concubine Shu.

It has to be said that Concubine Shu's ability to handle affairs is definitely the strongest among the four concubines. He is very relieved to leave these things to her.

After receiving the praise from Gu Wei, Shu Fei became even more proud, but the expressions of Xian Fei and De Fei next to her became a little unhappy.

De Fei didn't want Gu Wei to focus all her attention on Gui Fei and Shu Fei, so she said, "Your Majesty, we are tired of watching these songs and dances. Why not let the noble ladies show off their talents so that we can also open our eyes."

These words resonated deeply with Gu Wei, who had the same intention. After dismissing the singing and dancing girls, she said, "De Fei is right. Today is the imperial uncle's concubine selection banquet, so we should watch the performances of the noble ladies. I wonder which noble lady will perform first?"

Concubine De immediately gave a wink to her cousin Qin Rouyu.

Qin Rouyu stood up with understanding, bowed towards the ancient curtain and said, "Your humble servant would like to come out first."

Gu Wei looked at Qin Rouyu and nodded in appreciation. "You are indeed a noble family. Then you will start first."

"As you command," Qin Rouyu bowed towards the ancient curtain and then retreated to prepare.

Soon, Qin Rouyu changed into a dark blue dance costume and reappeared on stage.

When everyone saw her dark blue dance costume, they were a little confused.

Why did you change into such a dance costume? Most women's dance costumes are very bright. Is there anything new about the dark blue dance costume?

Just when everyone was beginning to understand what kind of dance Qin Rouyu was planning to perform, the two maids she brought with her brought in a table with writing brushes, inkstone, paper, and an inkstone on it. Then they brought in an extra-long blank scroll.

After everything was ready, Qin Rouyu flicked her ink-black sleeves and began to dance.

Qin Rouyu had a soft waist, a graceful figure, and elegant dancing posture, which made Jiang Xiyu feel relaxed and happy.

I have to say, this young lady from the Taifu family dances quite well.

Although she is not as good as those who have been practicing dancing since childhood, it can be seen that Qin Rouyu should have some basic skills.

She was just a noble lady in Kyoto, and she had to be proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and dance since she was young. This meant that she was good at everything, but she was not particularly good at any one thing.

Some people are particularly good at playing the piano or dancing, but their other talents must be average.

For example, she only knows some medical skills. As for other arts like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she has not really learned them. However, because she has been holding a needle since she was a child, she is quite good at needlework and knows a little cooking skills.

As for the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and dancing like theirs, she was not good at them.

Just as Jiang Xiyu was immersed in Qin Rouyu's dance, he suddenly saw Qin Rouyu spinning to the table, picked up two wolf-hair brushes on the table, dipped them in ink, and then bent down and slid under the blank scroll that the maid had unfolded.

Qin Rouyu danced and twirled, brandishing her ink brush. At that moment, she was like a warrior wielding a spear, so powerful and sonorous that it made anyone's blood boil.

Qin Rouyu's waist spun very fast like a top, and the ink pen in her hand painted even faster.

However, although her dancing is vigorous and her painting skills are also quite good, she seems to be very skilled in both dancing and painting.

But when the noble ladies looked carefully at her paintings, they could not see any other patterns except the large patches of ink.

Some noble ladies had already begun to whisper impatiently.

"What is this painting about?"

"It's just a ball of ink. I don't know what it's performing."

"That's right, just dance properly. It would be funny if you tried so many tricks and ended up not being able to perform any of them."

Even Gu Yunling leaned closer to Jiang Xiyu and whispered, "Can you tell what's in the painting?"

Jiang Xiyu shook her head. She couldn’t tell for the time being.

"But I heard that Miss Qin is very good at painting. Maybe it will work wonders soon."

Although the noble ladies in Kyoto all learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance, most noble ladies will only focus on one.

I heard that Qin Rouyu is very good at painting.

Her cousin, Concubine De, was very good at calligraphy.

Since she is good at painting and is performing painting on such an important occasion, the final result should not be just a ball of ink like this.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor and so many nobles. Some noble ladies may only have such a chance in their lifetime, and some may not even have this chance. Moreover, Qin Rouyu is the niece of the Taifu, and I believe she will perform well.

Gu Yunling curled her lips, then leaned closer to Jiang Xiyu and whispered, "No matter what miraculous effects she has, or what the painting ends up looking like, Fifteen won't be interested."

Jiang Xiyu subconsciously glanced at Gulin opposite her, and sure enough, she saw him supporting his head with his hands, looking uninterested.

But his lazy look, like that of a god-like handsome man, is really hard to look away from.

Jiang Xiyu looked around and suddenly felt a little amused and helpless.

Just as she thought, very few of the noble ladies present were watching Qin Rouyu dancing and painting. Most of the women were staring at Gulin infatuatedly.

It's not that these noble ladies don't know how to behave themselves, it's just that this man is too dazzling. Just his handsome face that looks like a banished god is enough to make these noble ladies unable to extricate themselves from him.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Rouyu's dance finally ended, and the painting on the scroll was finally completed.

Perhaps dancing and painting were too strenuous, and Qin Rouyu was slightly out of breath. She stopped dancing, took small steps forward, and bowed towards the ancient curtain. "With this ink dance and this painting of rivers and mountains, I congratulate the emperor on his everlasting rule and boundless fortune."

When everyone heard Qin Rouyu talking about ink dance, they all looked at the painting she had drawn.

Her two maids also turned the scroll over in time and showed it to the emperor again.

A painting of vast rivers and mountains in ink and wash appeared in front of the ancient curtain. The powerful brushstrokes and exquisite use of ink perfectly spread out the endless rivers and mountains from near to far on the entire scroll, showing the magnificent and majestic grandeur of the entire rivers and mountains to the fullest.

"Good, good, good!" Gu Wei clapped his hands excitedly, saying "good" three times in a row, "What a beautiful picture of a vast landscape, what a beautiful picture of an everlasting kingdom and boundless fortune."

Jiang Xiyu was also shocked when she saw the painting of vast rivers and mountains.

I've heard that Qin Rouyu's paintings are good before, and now it seems that she is really good.

The other noble ladies didn't expect that Qin Rouyu's words would actually have such a miraculous effect. They had to admit that the painting was really good and it was so to Gu Wei's liking. It would be strange if Gu Wei didn't like it.
