Chapter 258 She Really Likes It
Ouyang Ming asked in confusion, "General Bai just said that this zither consumes a lot of energy. Do you need me to prepare anything for you?"
He hoped that Bai Wei would play, because as long as Bai Wei performed first, even if it was not as good as the previous one, it would prove that the song just now was played by her, and Dong Qin would be considered the winner.
Therefore, if Bai Wei needs anything, he will try his best to cooperate.
Bai Wei smiled and said, "This zither is indeed very time-consuming, so please ask the emperor to order the imperial kitchen to prepare two more roast chickens, a bowl of tangerine peel and red bean paste, thousand-layer shortbread, and tangerines."
When Hongying came back just now, she said that Ouyang Yi’s favorite fruit was tangerine.
Now that I finally have a chance to order food, how can I miss it?
Ouyang Ming was stunned for a moment.
That's it?
He originally thought that it might be thousand-year-old ginseng, cordyceps, bird's nest, and deer antlers, or other tonic foods, but he didn't expect that Bai Wei wanted just ordinary food?
Bai Wei nodded and said, "There is one more thing."
Ouyang Ming looked serious and frowned slightly.
finally come.
However, no matter what she wants, as long as it is not outrageous, he will not refuse, but he also hopes that she can be sensible and not go too far. Also, that is the next performance, she had better be able to complete it smoothly.
"Go ahead."
Bai Wei clasped her hands together and said, "This exquisite harp actually consumes your energy. For today's Taiping Feast, for the honor of Dongqin and for the envoys from Southern Xinjiang to feast their eyes on, I will do my best. But after today, I need to rest for at least half a year, otherwise my heart will be unstable and even my mind will be confused! I also ask His Majesty to make a decision for Wei'er here and not to force her into anything in the future."
Ouyang Mingming was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect it to be so serious.
However, he originally only wanted her to perform today.
After all, as long as the performance is finished today, it will be proved that this exquisite harp can really be played, and it will also prove that Bai Wei has defeated Yu Tan, and it will also prove that in this competition with the city as the stakes, Dong Qin won!
"Okay, I promise you. After today's competition, you should take good care of yourself. If anyone wants you to play the piano again, or even wants to make things difficult for you, you can ask him to come to me."
Bai Wei leaned forward slightly and saluted Ouyang Ming: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Are you kidding? What if she is asked to perform in the palace every now and then? Wouldn't that be a big shame?
She didn't want to be like Fang Wu, who was treated like a monkey in a zoo by Ouyang Ming and had a bunch of people come to watch whenever there was nothing going on.
She doesn't like it and doesn't have the time for it, as there are so many things to do later.
Concubine Wang smiled softly, her laughter was a little sharp and piercing: "General Bai has made so many requests, and the emperor has agreed to them all. Now it's your turn to show your ability. You must not let the emperor down."
Ouyang Qi once planned to marry her, so she also investigated Bai Wei.
In her investigation, Bai Wei was not good at playing the piano.
Today, although there was no evidence that Bai Wei had asked someone to play for her, she didn't really believe that Bai Wei could really perform in public.
In addition, although she now seems to say that she can perform, she is actually making excuses and negotiating various conditions. Perhaps she is just trying to delay time and let the person who plays the piano for her take the opportunity to deceive everyone.
That's why she didn't want to give her more time and opportunity to prepare.
Bai Wei clasped her hands together and bowed gently to Concubine Wang: "I will definitely not disappoint the emperor, but Concubine, if I win today on behalf of Dong Qin, will you give me some rewards like the emperor?"
Concubine Wang is Ouyang Qi's biological mother, so it is normal for her to dislike her, and it just so happens that she also dislikes her.
It would be fine if she didn't say it, but since she has, how can I be justified if I don't take advantage of her?
Concubine Wang frowned and said, "Ha, I am really ignorant. I have never heard of anyone asking for a reward on their own initiative!"
Bai Wei looked at her with some grievance: "When I heard the Imperial Concubine talk about this, I thought that the Imperial Concubine also cared about whether I could win glory for Dong Qin, so I wanted to ask the Imperial Concubine for a good start to increase my luck and motivation. But now it seems that the Imperial Concubine is just talking and doesn't really care about this matter!"
Concubine Wang's face immediately turned green with anger.
Although she was not a smart person, she knew that if she refused at this moment, she would be talked about and laughed at behind her back.
"General Bai, you are overthinking. How could I mean this? I, like the emperor, value my country and the world the most. Just perform well. If you win, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Bai Wei pretended to be innocent and said, "In that case, I want the pair of gilded jade bracelets that the imperial concubine is wearing now."
Concubine Wang's face turned from green to black.
This pair of jade bracelets is her favorite. She usually doesn't want to wear them. It is said that they are tribute from Xilan. There is only this pair in the world. How can she bear to wear them?
His hand subconsciously covered the bracelet.
When Ouyang Ming saw him doing this, he subconsciously frowned.
Ouyang Qi said, "Mother, why not agree to her? The prerequisite is that she can really play it!"
Just kidding, he felt that Bai Wei was just looking for trouble and being mysterious. She just wanted them to reject her and let her find an excuse not to play.
He would satisfy all her demands now. He wanted to see what other excuses she could come up with!
After these words were spoken, Concubine Wang felt more at ease.
Yes, Bai Wei couldn’t play the piano at all, so she was deliberately being mysterious and asking for her favorite bracelet in order to delay time and prevent the competition from continuing. She couldn’t let herself fall into her trap.
"Okay, I will obey you today."
As he spoke, he took off the pair of gold-plated jade bracelets from his wrists and handed them to Rong Mama beside him.
She wanted to see how Bai Wei could continue to delay time.
Bai Wei smiled slightly and clasped her hands together: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine!"
Concubine Wang smiled very beautifully, but her eyes could not hide the sarcasm: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, but perform well. As you said, bring glory to Dongqin."
Bai Wei smiled, her smile was flamboyant and satisfied: "Today, Bai Wei will use the Splendid and Exquisite Harp to present music for everyone, so that everyone can enjoy it!"
As she spoke, she walked into the gauze tent that Ouyang Ming had set up for her just now. However, this time, the gauze of the tent was pulled diagonally to both sides, allowing everyone to see her appearance clearly.
Bai Wei lowered her head, unlocked the phone with her fingerprint, turned on the player, and got ready. Only she could see the contents of the phone screen clearly, which she had prepared for the selection of the first talented woman at the Spring Banquet.
It wasn't useful then, but it's just right now.
There was a smile on Bai Wei's face that could not be hidden at all.
Today is a great day when everything goes well.
In her previous life, she would never have dared to imagine that she could get Fengxigui, Yueyinghua, three thousand taels of snow-patterned silver, three hundred taels of gold, and all kinds of honors just by playing some piano music on her mobile phone. Now Concubine Wang insisted on giving her two jade bracelets. It was really a banquet full of harvest.
She really liked this kind of Taiping Banquet. Fortunately, after Concubine Wang finished speaking, she turned around quickly enough, otherwise she was really afraid that she would laugh out loud!
