Chapter 766 Night Banquet Performance 2
Shen Qingxi went to Jinxiu Hall one step later. The layout of Jinxiu Hall today is different from the past. Because it was the queen who was the leader, a new arrangement was made in the venue. Although the men and women still sat separately, a high platform was set up in the main hall to allow everyone to perform their talents. On the platform, there was a circle of white curtains. Those who were going to perform later had to come in from outside and then perform under the cover of the curtains.
The ladies of the aristocratic families were not servants in the palace. They set up curtains in order to look elegant.
When Shen Qingxi entered the door and saw this formation, he knew that he was coming tonight. After seeing that most of the people in the venue had not sat down, he went to the side hall behind the female family's table. Today, the girls were going to perform their skills, whether they were playing the piano or dancing, and there was a place to put the musical instruments and clothes they had to change. So, the side hall was opened up by the queen. At this moment, the side hall was in full bloom.
"My hairpin! My hairpin! Everyone said you must take it, but why did you forget it? My lotus leaf dance must use lotus hairpin!"
"My strings are loose, please adjust them quickly. Why does it always feel wrong?"
"The rouge on my face is too light. The lights in the hall will be brightly lit later. If you use less, it will definitely not show up. Quickly, apply more."
The girls each took their maids and were making the final preparations. There was chaos and lively. Shen Qingxi walked straight inside. Before he could walk a few steps, his arm was pulled by someone. Shen Qingxi turned around and saw that it was Zhao Zilan.
Zhao Zilan wore a short purple jacket today, and a sixteen Hunan skirt of the same color was covered with a few layers. The Hunan skirt was divided into several layers, and the top layer was made of light gauze. When worn on Zhao Zilan, her skirt seemed to have a layer of purple clouds floating on her skirt, so she became more and more clear and fairy-like. Today, Shen Qingxi was still as simple as before.
Zhao Zilan looked at Shen Qingxi up and down for a moment, and saw the piano in Baiji's hand again. He immediately said, "Qingxi wants to play the piano? I wonder what song to play?"
Shen Qingxi smiled and said, "I don't know yet... I'm afraid I'll play with everyone, so I haven't thought about it well. I'll adapt to the situation later."
Zhao Zilan felt a little disbelief when she heard this. Tonight is so important and no one dares to look down on it. Why doesn’t Shen Qingxi care like this? Zhao Zilan still smiled, “That’s good, Qingxi, I want to paint on the spot today. If something goes wrong later, don’t laugh at me.”
Shen Qingxi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "How could it be? When painting on the spot, it is essential to be of average quality. It shows that Zi Lan, you have excellent painting skills and have full confidence in yourself."
Zhao Zilan blinked, "Actually it's not. It's just a show of excuses. I hope the Queen will not blame you at that time."
The two said a few words, and soon, Chu Ying and Chu Lan arrived with Xu Zhiqiu. The maid next to Xu Zhiqiu was indeed holding a jade Xiao in her hand. When she saw Shen Qingxi, Xu Zhiqiu nodded slightly to her. On the other hand, Chu Ying and Chu Lan looked at Shen Qingxi arrogantly without saying much.
