Most of the girls in the room cast envious glances, and of course some felt sorry for Yue'er. You must know that Miss Prime Minister is one of the most beautiful women in Nanzhao Kingdom, and she is kind-hearted and often does good deeds. It is really surprising that such a girl did not marry the prince.
It's a pity.
However, some people were secretly glad that Miss Prime Minister had already made an engagement and there was no chance to argue with them.
But Ning'er, who was sitting next to Princess Chengjun, knew Yue'er very well. Yue'er was as vicious as a snake and a scorpion. As soon as she saw Yue'er, she remembered what happened before. Fortunately, she had been prepared, otherwise she would have been tricked.
The only person she wants is herself. In order to plot against her, even her cousin will not be spared.
"Yue'er's marriage has been settled. It's time for you to make arrangements for Ning'er's marriage." said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Madame Prime Minister, Ning'er is still young. It will be too late to get her engaged in a year or two." Princess Chengjun said.
"You're right. Ning'er is still young, so she's not sensible. It's better to stay with the concubine for a few months, and she will soon look like a lady." said the Prime Minister's wife.
The Prime Minister's wife was mocking Ning'er for being arrogant, domineering, and not acting like a lady, so how could Princess Chengjun not hear it?
"The Prime Minister's wife is right. Ning'er was spoiled by me and is indeed ignorant. She should be taught a good lesson. But it is better than some women who look gentle and kind, but are actually as strong as snakes and scorpions, right?" Princess Chengjun said.
"Princess Chengjun, what do you mean?" said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Okay, we are all a family, so why bother? It's getting late, let's disperse, it's time to go to Qingyang Hall." Concubine Yun said.
The other ladies were sitting on pins and needles, and after hearing Concubine Yun's words, they hurriedly left Liuli Palace. After the Prime Minister's wife gave Princess Chengjun a look, she also took Yue'er to Qingyang Palace.
Concubine Yun Guifei sighed and said: "You too, what are you doing with her?"
"Sister, you know the ins and outs of the whole thing. If it weren't for my brother's sake, I really want to break up with her. Originally, I didn't plan to get along with her, but look at her mouth." Princess Chengjun said.
"How come I don't know that Ning'er has been wronged?" Concubine Yun said.
"Yue'er has a heart like a snake and a scorpion at a young age. Will it happen again in the future?" Princess Chengjun said.
"She will get married in February, and she won't be able to make any waves. Are you still worried?" Concubine Yun said.
"In the past, Ning'er was ignorant. In the future, I will ask my sister to teach her well." Princess Chengjun said.
"I believe that after this incident, Ning'er will become more sensible. Don't worry about her marriage. I will make the decision for her," said Concubine Yun.
"Thank you, sister." Princess Chengjun said.
"Okay, come with me to Qingyang Palace. It won't be a good idea to go late." Concubine Yun said.
"Yes." Concubine Yun said.
Concubine Yun Gui changed her clothes again, and then she went to Qingyang Palace with Princess Chengjun. Ye Tianmo took Yun Huayue and Shu Bingxue to sit aside, and Ye Tianjue had already sat in his seat.
Concubine Yun noticed that Feng Mingye and Murong Xi were not in the main hall, and asked, "Has His Highness Hades entered the palace?"
"Replying to the princess, His Majesty Pluto is talking to His Majesty in the Royal Study and will be here soon," Eunuch Li said.
"So, Princess Pluto didn't enter the palace?" Concubine Yun asked.
"Pluto Princess and Pluto are together in the imperial study room." Eunuch Li said.
As soon as Concubine Yun Gui finished asking, she heard Eunuch Nian shouting: "The Emperor is here, His Highness the King of Hades is here, and Concubine Pluto is here."
The officials and their wives stood up, knelt on the ground and said in unison: "See you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor."
"Ping Sheng. Today is just like the family banquet on weekdays. My dear friends, please don't be restrained." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The officials got up and took their families back to the table. Emperor Nanzhao also sat down and said, "This year is different from previous years. I am happy because I have found the son I have missed for many years. This is the first New Year that he has spent with me."
, I am naturally happy. It has been a year,
Everyone has worked hard, and I hope everyone can enjoy today’s banquet.”
Following Emperor Nanzhao's words, the palace banquet officially began. The palace ladies served the dishes, and a song and dance performance began in the center of the hall. And every year at the palace banquet, there will be performances by ladies and gentlemen from various families, which are recognized by His Majesty. Naturally,
You can get rewards.
Therefore, today's palace banquet was very lively. After the singing and dancing ended, the ladies went to get ready.
Today, Marquis Anling and his wife also brought Yun He into the palace for the first time. Sitting aside attracted the attention of many young men and ladies. However, Yun He did not prepare any performance, so while the ladies were preparing, she
Still sitting aside.
Just when everyone was eating happily, the sound of silk and bamboo gradually sounded in the hall. A woman in red walked to the center of the hall, holding a wooden sword in her hand. Following the sound of silk and bamboo, the woman in red danced gracefully. The woman danced
Sword dance is not as soft as ordinary dance. It looks heroic and heroic...
Murong Xi also put down his chopsticks and looked at the performance in front of him seriously. He said to Feng Mingye, "Whose girl is this?"
Feng Mingye shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Murong Xi turned around and said to Rushi: "Do you know whose family this lady belongs to?"
"Miss, this is Sun Jiaqi, the granddaughter of General Sun's family. She has been dancing with swords since she was a child. She is a sweetheart." Rushi replied.
After the girl's sword dance ended, another lady made a picture of peonies on the spot. In this way, several ladies took turns to perform, but there was nothing new. After the flute song ended, a girl in gorgeous clothes held the piano.
Went to the main hall.
The girl didn't play the piano very well, but the piano in her hand was a good one. The sweet sound of the piano added a lot to her score, and many people present were attracted to it.
"Miss, this is the legitimate daughter of the Liu Yushi family, Liu Shiya. She is the Liu Yushi who proposed to the prince this morning that he should have a concubine," Ru Shi said.
"I knew my skills were inferior to others, so I chose to play a good piano. The sound of the piano was enough to attract people's attention. What a smart girl." Murong Xi said.
After the sound of the piano ended, there was only one last performance left. Wearing a dance costume, she danced softly in the center. As the drums and the sound of the piano accelerated, her movements also accelerated.
The girl's dance must have been more attractive than the sound of the piano just now. The officials who were watching the show while eating food were now staring intently at the center of the hall.
After the song ended, everyone was still interested, and His Majesty couldn't close his mouth as he watched, so he asked: "Which family are you a girl from?"
"Your Majesty, my daughter's father is Minister Jin, and my daughter's name is Jin Xiuyu," the girl said.
Originally, Emperor Nanzhao wanted to praise the girl, but he held back because she was a girl from Jin Shilang's family. No wonder Jin Shilang said those words in the morning. It seemed that he planned to send his daughter to the Palace of Hades.
Emperor Nanzhao sneered, looked at Jin Shilang, and said, "It turns out she is the daughter of Jin Shilang's family, not bad."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Jin Xiuyu said.
"Your Majesty, this is the last performance. It's time for you to select the three best ones today and reward them." Concubine Yun Guifei sat aside and said.
Concubine Yun Gui had long known what happened during today's morning court. When Emperor Nanzhao heard that the girl performing below was Jin Shilang, she knew what Emperor Nanzhao was thinking.
Anyway, it all depends on Emperor Nanzhao's words. His Majesty can just choose three at random without taking into account others.
Most of the ministers sitting below are watching the fun, because the daughter of the Golden Minister did indeed perform well, but His Majesty is probably still angry about the morning meeting today. I am afraid that the daughter of the Golden Minister will not be selected for the best performance this time.
.
Emperor Nanzhao smiled and said: "I think the granddaughter of General Sun's family performed well. I like her heroic appearance very much. I thought of this girl first, and she has the shadow of the general in her body."
After hearing this, Sun Jiaqi hurried to the main hall, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Sun Jiaqi stood up, Concubine Yun said, "Your Majesty, are there two more people?"
Emperor Nanzhao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, today's performance is very
They are so wonderful, I really can’t choose, they are all good, they are all very good. If I had to choose, the painting just now..."
At this moment, Feng Mingye suddenly opened his mind to what Emperor Nanzhao had said and said, "Father, I think the performance by the legitimate daughter of the Jin family just now was good."
"Huh?" Emperor Nanzhao looked at Feng Mingye doubtfully.
Even the ministers below looked at Feng Mingye. They really didn't understand Feng Mingye's thoughts. However, Jin Shilang felt happy after hearing this. Jin Xiuyu also felt happy.
Murong Xi also spoke at this time: "Father, my daughter-in-law also thinks that there is a very beautiful performance, which is the piano sound of the girl just now. Although the girl's piano skills are not good, the piano sound is really pleasant, why not choose the last one?
Is that the girl just now?"
"Aye, Xi'er, have you really agreed?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"It's Father. Xi'er is right." Feng Mingye said.
Liu Yushi was secretly happy. He thought that Murong Xi didn't know that the person who played the piano just now was his daughter, otherwise how could he choose his daughter? He knew in his heart that the incident in the early court had made His Majesty unhappy, and His Majesty even paid tribute to the daughter of Jin Shilang.
He didn't want to choose, not to mention his daughter wasn't a good piano player.
"Okay then, let's follow what Pluto said and choose the legitimate daughter of the Jin family and the legitimate daughter of the Liu family." Emperor Nanzhao said.
Jin Xiuyu and Liu Shiya walked to the main hall, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, reward." Emperor Nanzhao said.
Just when the other two girls were about to express their gratitude, Jin Xiuyu was not in a hurry to express her gratitude. Instead, she knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Nanzhao: "Your Majesty, I know how precious the gold-threaded garment is, but I don't want such an expensive reward."
"Oh? What do you want?" Emperor Nanzhao asked curiously.
Jin Xiuyu smiled and said, "My daughter hasn't thought about it yet. I wonder if Your Majesty can wait until she has thought of it and fulfill her wish."
"It's nonsense. My little girl doesn't know etiquette. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty." Jin Shilang said quickly.
"Jin Shilang is serious. I think this girl is very good. I don't know which young master is lucky enough to be able to marry her back. Why don't you let me make the decision and grant the girl a marriage?" Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to get married," Jin Xiuyu said quickly.
Concubine Yun Gui glanced at Jin Xiuyu in the audience, smiled and said, "Why is the girl from the Jin family unwilling to marry?"
"My daughter has a sweetheart. If she cannot marry him, she is willing to remain unmarried for the rest of her life." Jin Xiuyu said.
