Chapter 221 Singing
Chapter 221 Singing
Feng Ruozhao's face was filled with amazement, his eyes wide open as he couldn't help but say, "Oh my! This is the first time I've heard Sister Wen sing. It's truly like the sound of nature. I've had a real treat today. If the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace heard this, she'd probably think Sister Wen was a soulmate!"
After hearing what Feng Ruozhao said, Zhen Huan nodded in agreement, her eyes full of approval: "Last year, when Rong'er sang this song, she was a little drunk and her singing was not very clear. Listening to it again today, it is even better than last year."
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes slightly as if recalling the song just now, and continued: "Last year, you sang with deep longing, but today, you sang with a different kind of free and easy feeling."
An Lingrong, who received such praise from everyone, was like a little monkey who had just won a great victory. She was so happy that her tail seemed to be raised to the sky!
She smiled smugly and said, "Since you like it, I'll sing a couple more songs. If you want to hear anything else, just tell me. I can sing a lot more!"
She was reluctant to sing for the emperor and empress, but facing the three people in front of her, she would not feel tired no matter how many songs she sang.
"Whatever you sing sounds good, just do whatever you want!"
An Lingrong didn't ask any more questions and silently searched the music library. What type of song was it?
Thinking about the dull atmosphere at today's banquet, she came up with an idea. She glanced around, broke off a banana from the table, put it to her lips, and began to sing.
"The world is vast, and travelers are fleeting..."
Her voice is melodious, free and unrestrained, like a wild horse running freely on the vast grassland. Her singing seems to be able to penetrate the barriers of time and space, reach the depths of people's hearts, gently plucking the softest string in people's hearts, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
Accompanied by An Lingrong's clear and melodious voice, the entire room was enveloped in a dreamlike atmosphere. The atmosphere was as ethereal as a veil, as hazy as mist, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland, intoxicated.
When the song ended, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and it was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground.
An Lingrong peeled the banana and took a bite, then said, "What's the matter? I didn't sing well, no one applauded!" There was a hint of playfulness and anger in her tone.
Zhen Huan was the first to praise: "Excellent! Such an exquisite song is truly unheard of!"
Feng Ruozhao also smiled and said: "Sister Wen's song not only expresses a free and easy state of mind, but also makes people feel open-minded and detached."
Seeing that Shen Meizhuang didn't say anything, An Lingrong shifted her gaze to her.
Shen Meizhuang's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and her eyes were full of praise. She said slowly: "Very good!"
This is a portrait of Rong'er.
"Sisters, life is short. Why bother with worldly rules? It's better to live freely. Come on, cheers."
"cheers!"
After the concert, the three of them dispersed.
An Lingrong sat in front of the dressing table, preparing to remove her makeup, "Liu Zhu, Liu Zhu, help me with my hair."
Liu Zhu approached An Lingrong mysteriously and said, "My lady, there's another gift. Can you guess who sent it?"
"Oh? There's a gift?" An Lingrong asked with interest, "Who sent it?"
"Guess what!"
"Sister Mei!"
"wrong!"
"Sister Zhen!"
"wrong!"
"Sister Jingfei!"
"wrong!"
After guessing three names, Liu Zhu shook his head.
An Lingrong's curiosity was piqued. She tugged at Liu Zhu's sleeve and pleaded coquettishly, "Oh, good Liu Zhu, I really can't think of it. Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly!"
Liu Zhu took out a package: "Here you go!"
An Lingrong opened it, revealing a set of light pink pajamas. "Who would give me a set of pajamas?"
Nightgowns can be considered as relatively private clothing. The person who could give this thing must be very close to her. Apart from the three of them, An Lingrong could not think of any other names.
Liu Zhu came forward and reminded softly, "My lord, please take a closer look!"
After hearing Liu Zhu's words, An Lingrong picked up the nightgown and looked at it carefully in the dim candlelight.
The fabric used for this nightgown is fine Jiangnan silk, which is smooth and delicate to the touch. The stitching is extremely fine, and every stitch and thread is poured with the maker's full care. Especially the cuffs and neckline are carefully embroidered with exquisite peach blossom patterns, the petals are delicate and lifelike.
Peach blossoms were An Lingrong’s favorite flowers in her previous life.
The more she looked at it, the more familiar the needlework seemed to her. She suddenly looked up, her eyes gleaming with surprise, and blurted out, "This is... made by my mother!"
Liu Zhu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes! It was sent to the palace together with Concubine Hui's Mid-Autumn Festival gift. Concubine Hui specifically instructed that it be a surprise for you!"
What an unexpected surprise! An Lingrong's cheeks flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She couldn't wait to order, "Quick, Liuzhu, help me put it on!" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and she was filled with uncontrollable eagerness.
Liu Zhu, however, did not move. With a mysterious smile on her face, she placed her hand, which had been placed behind her back, in front of An Lingrong as if by magic: "There is also a letter from the Madam!"
An Lingrong snatched it away and quickly opened it.
After a while, the smile on his face grew larger and larger.
It's great! My mother's health is getting better and better, and her eyesight is clearer than before. My father has seen many dignitaries in the capital and has gradually learned to keep a low profile. My younger brother works hard in school, and the teacher praises him highly.
Wearing the pajamas made by her mother, An Lingrong slept sweetly as if surrounded by her mother's breath.
This Mid-Autumn Festival is perfect with the company of my sisters and the care of my mother.
