The next day.

The whole imperial city is very lively, the evening is the birthday banquet of the queen mother, all the invited princes and nobles, foreign envoys, one after another stationed in the imperial city.

Zhou Muxue dressed up early in the morning, looking bright and moving, beautiful.

Not long after, Luo Jun sent Gonggong Li to come over and send a message, asking her to take the palace maid and eunuch into the Taihe Palace, and wait on the west side of the Taihe Hall to perform.

Zhou Muxue called Zixuan and asked her to wait here obediently, and someone would take her away later.

After ordering all this, Zhou Muxue followed Gonggong Li and left.

A group of people through the Xuan'an Gate, into the Taihe Palace, at this time the hall is crowded with people, lively, the Queen Mother sits on the main seat, constantly accepting the blessings of the guests.

Zhou Muxue was quite nervous, there were so many people at the scene, and there were thousands of Praetorian Guards guarding her, she was afraid that Song Li would not be able to handle everything and sacrifice in vain.

At this moment, another group of people came in from the east, led by Concubine De.

Concubine De came over with everyone from the Cardinal Dance Troupe to wait, and when she saw that Zhou Muxue was also there, she immediately frowned and ran over quickly.

"Zhou Muxue, you came very quickly, let me introduce you, this is Mingyue, the chief dancer of the Cardinal Dance Troupe, her singing and dancing are unique in the country, and no one can beat her. ”

Zhou Muxue sighed and took the initiative to show goodwill.

Mingyue had an embarrassed expression, she didn't want to look at Zhou Muxue, she just nodded hurriedly, and took the girl from the dance troupe to the east.

Zhou Muxue was quite different, but she didn't take it to heart.

"Concubine De Niangniang, to be honest, I really have no ill will towards you, and I don't mean anything to the emperor, but I can't help but be forced to stay in the palace. ”

Concubine De sneered again and again, not believing Zhou Muxue's words at all.

"Yes, if you don't have any idea about the emperor, then what are you doing wearing Concubine Xiang's clothes, if you really don't have clothes, I can lend it to you, hehe, I warn you, my father is the minister of the first rank of the dynasty, with him, you don't want to marry into the royal family in your life." ”

Zhou Muxue laughed in her heart, her husband Song Li was in the imperial city, even if Luo Jun knelt down and begged her, she would not have half an idea.

The two were chatting, and Song Li took the opportunity to lean over.

When Concubine De saw Song Li, she smiled.

"Doctor Song, you are here too, I have reserved an excellent place for you, just in the front row, you can see all the programs clearly. ”

Song took a step forward, shook his hand and slapped him again.

Concubine De looked confused and looked at Song Li.

"Doctor Song, why are you beating me again, my depression has gotten much better. ”

Song Li was serious and looked at Concubine De.

"Concubine De, you did get better yesterday, but just now I saw another black gas in your eyebrows, which is obviously a recurrence, are you worried again. ”

Concubine De was jealous of Zhou Muxue, this kind of thing, she naturally wouldn't say it, in order to hide the embarrassment in her heart, she could only shake her head again and again.

"Yes, no, Doctor Song, I'll go to the main hall first, and you can come over by yourself later, I still have something to do, I'll go over first." ”

Concubine De's makeup was smashed, and she had to touch up her makeup.

When Concubine De left, Zhou Muxue laughed.

"Song Li, when did you get so bad, taking the opportunity to beat Concubine De, she still has to thank you. ”

Song Li smiled faintly and looked around.

"This kind of woman, bullying others, bullying my wife and daughter, slapping her twice is cheap for her, Mu Xue, I have already persuaded the city guard, after a while, your program will end, go around the West Gate, I will pick you up over there, and when we leave, there will be a mutiny." ”

Zhou Muxue nodded and made an OK gesture.

The two stopped talking and left separately.

In a short time, the auspicious time has arrived.

The Queen Mother, as the protagonist of today, was full of energy and looked around the audience.

"Today is the 60th birthday of the mourning family, everyone can come, the mourning family is very happy, Prime Minister Xiao, you tell everyone, what gifts you received today. ”

Prime Minister Xiao nodded and picked up the gift list.

"The envoy of the Lu State, give a jade and jade Buddha. ”

"The envoy of the Yan Kingdom, send two horses of sweat and blood. ”

"Tang Ru, the minister of Yipin, sent a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”

Xiao Cheng read one, and a eunuch brought the gift, and the most exaggerated thing was the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which was more than 20 meters long.

The Queen Mother was quite satisfied with these gifts, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty, let's start the banquet, the big guys can't wait. ”

Luo Jun sat on the side, expressionless, quite calm.

"Open the table!"

When the words fell, the eunuch kept serving wine and food, and Mingyue and her cardinal dance troupe danced as the opening show, and soon a graceful singing voice sounded.

"Take the stars off and give them to you......"

As soon as Mingyue spoke, the audience was in an uproar, everyone had never heard such a melody, it was simply eye-opening and refreshing.

However, the fly in the ointment is that although the singing is novel, the dance is still very traditional, and it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with this song at all.

There was a lot of discussion and approval.

The Queen Mother smiled even more and looked at the emperor on the side.

"Your Majesty, this Cardinal Song and Dance Troupe was found by Concubine De with great effort, and it was also to make the mourning family happy, you have to understand Concubine De's hard work. ”

Luo Jun snorted and looked at the side hall.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, there will be Zhou Muxue later, it is said that her show is more exciting, and she may be able to surpass the Cardinal Song and Dance Troupe. ”

The two were talking, but Zhou Muxue was sweating profusely.

This song was prepared by her today, but she didn't expect it to be performed by Mingyue in advance, although the dance was completely changed, but the song was unchanged.

The palace maid on the side was also indignant and complained again and again.

"Miss Zhou, they must have sent someone to peek at it, otherwise how could they know about this song and deliberately changed our dance. ”

"Miss Zhou, what should we do, we can't just leave it at that. ”

"Miss Zhou, we also perform this, and our dance matches this song, which can definitely trample them under their feet. ”

Everyone was in a rather good mood and came up with ideas.

Zhou Muxue shook her head and denied these plans.

Mingyue has already performed, everyone has preconceived ideas, if he still performs Little Apple, it is inevitable that he will fall into the mouth of others, saying that he stole Mingyue's song and dance.

Time is pressing, and it won't be long before it's your turn to play.

Zhou Muxue hesitated again and again, making a difficult decision.

"Listen to me, there is no doubt that our creativity was stolen by Mingyue, but we can't admit defeat, these days we rehearse together, there is already a tacit understanding, when it will be our turn to play, everyone will dance to my movements, whether it is good or bad, we have to try. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one had any idea, so they could only agree with Zhou Muxue's method.

After a while, Gonggong Li walked over quickly, with a smiling expression.

"Zhou Muxue, it's your turn to play, the emperor has high hopes for you, you must not let him down, go up." ”
