Hearing this, the emperor immediately touched his palm and said: "Ning Wan, you won second place in today's hunting, and the reward will definitely not be as good as the first place. But if you can dance to a song, I will give you a plaque with the word "miraculous doctor" engraved on it.
, how about you skip the kneeling ceremony when entering the palace in the future?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials and family members were jealous.
After all, you don't have to kneel down and bow down when entering the palace. It is a treatment that only a king can have. It is really enviable that a mere servant girl from Ningwan, who has no official or rank, can get such an honor.
However, Ning Wan felt that the emperor was so stingy that he wanted to send her away with a broken sign!
"Your Majesty, if you can provide me with some benefits, I will be happy. After all, I am really poor."
The emperor laughed loudly, turned to look at Ning Guogong, who was sitting at the bottom with his neck curled up, and said: "Ning Guogong, your daughter is quite interesting. This is the first time that my reward has been rejected as unaffordable."
Duke Ning Guo had already scolded Ning Wan to death in his heart. What did this rebellious girl mean when she said she was poor in front of the emperor? Was she telling everyone that his father was mean to her?
He glared at Ning Wan warningly, but Ning Wan seemed not to notice, and just looked at the emperor with a smile.
He said: "Your Majesty, I am a practical person. Compared with not being able to enter the palace a few times a year or kneel down a few times a year, those jewels and gold are more useful."
The emperor laughed loudly at her words and said, "Okay, if you can play with me, in addition to the plaque, I will also give you two thousand taels of gold."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wan immediately went to the emperor to thank him.
Ning Xianer clenched her fists in her sleeves, her eyes shining with excitement.
This bitch can't dance at all. If she dares to boast in front of the emperor, she will die.
Xia Wanjun glanced at her suspiciously, feeling suddenly uncertain. Based on her experience of being tricked by Ning Xian'er, she was afraid she would suffer again this time.
Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw Ning Wan walking to the center and starting to jump.
Her dancing postures were sometimes strong, sometimes soft, and her light blue gauze skirt was very beautiful and moving under the firelight.
At this time, everyone automatically ignored the ugly birthmark on her face. They only felt that she was like a fairy who strayed into the mortal world at this moment, smart and charming, as if she could seduce people with just a raise of her hand.
Both the men and women present were a little bewildered.
Xia Wanjun couldn't explain how she felt at this time. She obviously wanted to take the opportunity to make the other person look embarrassed, but she seemed to have unintentionally helped him gain the limelight!
Thinking of this, she drank a glass of wine and glared at Ning Xianer fiercely.
Ning Xianer was dumbfounded at this moment, Ning Wan could actually dance, how could this be possible!
After the dance ended, no one came back to their senses for a long time.
Ning Wan stepped forward generously, bowed to the emperor, and said, "I wonder if your majesty is satisfied?"
The emperor then came back to his senses, stroking his palms again and again, and praised: "Yes, I will send someone to deliver the brand and gold to my house when I return to Beijing. Now, let's drink wine and eat meat."
The palace people cut the roasted meat into pieces and brought them to everyone's table one by one.
Ning Wan had been hungry for a long time, and while she was enjoying her meal, Ning Xianer came over again.
"What kind of dance is Big Sister doing? Why is it different from what we learned?"
She asked without deliberately suppressing her voice, so all the girls around her looked over.
The dance that Ning Wan performed just now was a modern dance that these girls had never seen before, so it was normal for it to be novel.
However, Ning Wan did not intend to talk nonsense with Ning Xianer.
"This is my own dance. What's wrong? Does my second sister also want to learn it? Well, if you pay me, I will teach you."
As she said that, she already stretched out her hand.
Ning Xianer bit her lip, held the hand she extended, and said, "Sister, you and I are biological sisters. It's so boring to talk about money."
Ning Wan felt a chill, and she decisively withdrew her hand: "If you don't have the money to hurt someone, what about your sisters? Isn't it easy for you to sell me?"
Ning Xian'er held back her tears and said aggrievedly: "Sister, don't I also want to help you get some rewards? Look, if I hadn't said that on purpose, Your Majesty would have given you so many rewards?"
Just the no-kneeling sign was enough to make people jealous, but she was also rewarded with two thousand taels of gold.
Gold, if converted into silver, it would be a huge sum of money!
Ning Xianer's eyes were so jealous that her eyes were red, and Ning Xueyao next to her was even more so. She wanted to go directly to the east courtyard where Ning Wan lived to grab money.
Ning Wan was shocked by her shamelessness. She looked at her and mocked: "So, I still have to thank you?"
Ning Xianer lowered her head and pretended to be reserved and said, "There's no need to thank you. There's no need for such a false gift between sisters. However, sister, can you afford so much gold? My father also said that day.
The government is almost stretched, you..."
Ning Wan was almost disgusted by her and threw a glass of wine directly on her face.
