Chapter 208: The New Year's Banquet Seeks Opportunity, Dancing Queen

What he said, Fu Rongyue naturally couldn't hear it.

She walked quickly around the apse, and really saw Shen Guifei's maid going down the corridor, where one of Wei Mingyu's guards was waiting. It seems that Shen Guifei took this thing down in order to give it to Wei Mingyu. As for what they wanted, Fu Rongyue didn't care. She ran over quickly, pretending to meet the servant girl by chance, and in an instant she bumped into the servant girl as if she couldn't stop her ground. Naturally, she didn't have Wei Mingzheng's skillful hand, but she just bumped into it, and then separated.

The servant girl opened her mouth to scold, but when she saw that it was her, she had to swallow the words.

Fu Rongyue also smiled apologetically, didn't explain anything, and returned to the main hall.

After she left, the maidservant couldn't help but whisper mockingly: "It's really a country girl, I don't understand any etiquette!"

The maidservant said, reaching into her sleeve pocket to take the thing that Shen Guifei had just handed her. However, the sleeve pocket is empty, where is Fu Rongyue's waist pendant?

The maidservant was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she thought that she had fallen where she had just walked, so she hurriedly colored the guards, and hurried back to look for them. But where can you find it?

She remembered Fu Rongyue's strange conflict in hindsight, her heart tightened, and she turned back to the main hall again, and really saw the pendant on Fu Rongyue's waist. She couldn't help but secretly scold herself for being stupid, now, how can she explain to Shen Guifei and His Royal Highness King Zhao?

The guard who was waiting there didn't see her coming over for a long time, and he couldn't wait to come over, and asked about the cause and effect of the matter, the guard thought about it, and had to give her an idea: "It's better to tell Shen Guifei about this and let Guifei Niangniang have an idea!"

"Rubbish!" After hearing this, Shen Guifei first scolded before asking in a low voice: "Speaking of which, Fu Rongyue knows that we took her waist pendant? Then how could she let us go so easily, according to her usual behavior, this is not her style at all." โ€

"Slaves and maids are also strange!Niangniang, will there be fraud among them?" the maid reminded Shen Guifei.

Shen Guifei pondered for a moment and said, "You go and tell His Highness, the waist is gone, let's stop our plan first." โ€

When the two were talking, Wei Mingyu also looked at the bottom of his eyes, and saw that the two of them kept whispering, afraid that something had changed, so he gave Shen Guifei a look, Shen Guifei replied with a rather meaningful look, and Wei Mingyu left the seat under the pretext of excuse. After a while, Shen Guifei's maidservant came over and told Shen Guifei what had just happened and Shen Guifei's conveyance, Wei Mingyu just sneered when he heard it: "What's the matter if the waist pendant is gone, there is no waist pendant, there are other things." Who said that tokens can only be things on the body? The plan still has to be carried out, and I can't wait even another day!"

Since he made up his mind, Shen Guifei had nothing to say, so she had to turn her mind to major matters and work with Qi Guiren.

The two thought that the plan was seamless, but they didn't see it at all, Fu Rongyue occasionally raised her eyes, and the irrepressible hatred at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Let you be at ease for a while, thinking that the world is in your hands!

In a little while, I'll be watching you cry!

She turned her head and met Qin Wentang not far away, Qin Wentang nodded, made a gesture under the table, and Fu Rongyue smiled.

There was a commotion in the hall, and at this time it was getting closer and closer to the New Year's banquet, but few people's hearts were really upset at this New Year's banquet.

Emperor Shou came out of the apse with Mu Qingli's hand and instructed Xie Anyang behind him: "Set up a seat next to me, I and Qingli are rare to see, so I have to drink a few more glasses." โ€

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette, the grass people should sit behind Mei Guogong. Mu Qingli smiled kindly.

The more modest and soft he was, the more affectionate Emperor Shou's heart was to him, and he hurriedly said: "You, you have always been so modest, let me say what is good about you." You have been wandering on the rivers and lakes all these years, and it is rare to reunite with me, just once, and you are still so outside. Sit down, or I'll make you resist!"

Mu Qingli had no choice but to sit in the same seat with Emperor Shou.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw this scene in their eyes, and no one dared to underestimate the young people around Emperor Shou, and no one dared to despise Qin Wentang anymore. Especially the people who had just humiliated Qin Wentang in the Imperial Garden, they felt more and more empty-hearted, they never expected that this reckless origin of the rivers and lakes would be so big. Who said that Mei Yanshan's life is not good, and she can only marry a reckless horseman? This horseman's background is inevitably too big, and he can sit at the same table with Emperor Shou!

In the envious eyes of everyone, Mu Qingli was still smiling and didn't care about anything.

As soon as he left, the seat next to Mei Xiangrong was vacant, and Fu Rongyue immediately asked for a seat with Mei Xiangrong, and Emperor Shou only regarded her as filial piety and gladly agreed.

Fu Rongyue sat down beside Mei Xiangrong, and the father and daughter smiled knowingly and stopped talking.

The bell of the New Year's banquet finally rang slowly, the Zhonghe Hall quieted down, and Emperor Shou read out the year-end congratulatory speech, announcing the beginning of the New Year's banquet.

In previous years, only people from the royal family gathered in the Zhonghe Hall on Chinese New Year's Eve, but this year, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, which was naturally much more lively than in previous years. Shen Guifei and Qi Guiren carefully prepared, and they were very attentive to this grand ceremony, in line with exquisiteness, although they were not extravagant and luxurious, they were also low-key and magnificent.

Emperor Shou never said much at the ceremony, and after he ordered the banquet to begin, the arrangement of the palace was a matter for Shen Guifei.

Shen Guifei is a woman from the Wen family and likes singing and dancing, and all the songs and dances at this annual banquet were carefully prepared by her. The first dance at the opening gave everyone a rather amazing feeling.

Everyone watched while eating, nodding their heads constantly, and praised Shen Guifei a lot.

Emperor Shou also praised Shen Guifei a few words, saying that she has been working very hard recently and has rewarded a lot of things. After Shen Guifei thanked her, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes showed a little color.

Qi Guiren was naturally unhappy, and Emperor Shou also sympathized with her and gave her a lot of rewards.

Today's New Year's banquet is to reward the heroes, both set a precedent, many officials in the court have been rewarded, Emperor Shou said that everyone has worked hard this year, this year's New Year's gift is quite rich, it is a reward for the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Mei Xiangrong also got it, it was a pair of exquisite jade chess, he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't stop praising it. Fu Rongyue also has a reward, it is a set of blonde hair accessories, the style is currently the most popular in Beijing, I am afraid that girls will be disgusted with gold and old-fashioned, and they are specially inlaid with white jade, which looks exquisite and cute, and many women have cast envious eyes.

Fu Rongyue thanked her, and Emperor Shou also specially gave dishes, but they were given on behalf of Wei Mingxi.

Mei Xiangrong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, Emperor Shou really had a heart, for fear that Wei Mingxi would be far away from Fu Rongyue, Fu Rongyue had some resentment in his heart, and deliberately appeased Fu Rongyue.

After the reward, the singing and dancing continued, but this time it was a complete appreciation.

Among the court dancers, there are many beautiful women, who are good at dancing with long sleeves, and they are exceptionally good-looking, and even Fu Rongyue was dumbfounded.

After more than an hour, Mei Xiangrong gently pulled her sleeve and signaled that her time had come.

Fu Rongyue's spirit was shocked, and when she looked up, this dance was a famous song from Dunhuang. Hu Xuan Dance came from Fuyi Country, and because of its great difficulty, it was once widely spread in Kyoto and praised by everyone. Later, after the destruction of the Fuyi Kingdom, this dance was almost extinct in the world, and all that was circulated were some imitation dances, which could not compare with the original essence of the Hu Xuan Dance. Shen Guifei is also a loss of good skills, and these dancing girls are not bad, and they have a bit of the charm of Hu Xuan Dance.

As soon as this dance opened, the people who loved music theory in the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces all sighed in unison.

This song is authentic from the north.

At that time, the country of Fuyi was connected to the border of Chimeng, and the two countries had many trade exchanges, after the destruction of the country of Fuyi, Hu Xuanwu was not introduced to the Great Wei, but to Chimeng. Now those who can dance authentically are also Chimeng people. This piece is so beautiful, is the person who plays it a musician?

Mei Ruanyi sighed lowly: "It's a pity that Fuyi Country, if it is still there, I am afraid that the music of Dawei will be as prosperous as a hundred flowers." โ€

Fuyi is a small country affiliated to the north, most of the people love music, I heard that they even have to sing and dance when they talk about love, and there are many celebrities in the royal family, and many good songs are created by the ancestors of Fuyi.

"Silence. Fu Rongyue heard it, and reminded Mei Ruanyi sideways.

Mei Ruan Yi hurriedly looked around, and lost his words for a while, he was unintentional, he was afraid that someone would attack him, saying that he questioned Gao Zu's decision.

Fortunately, everyone was listening to the song and dancing at this time, and no one noticed him.

At this time, Mei Yanshan, who was sitting behind Fu Rongyue, stretched out her hand and poked Fu Rongyue's back, reminding her to look at one of the dancing girls: "Rong Yue, look at that dancing girl." She's so beautiful!"

Fu Rongyue followed her fingers, and sure enough, among the dancing girls, there was a woman who was born exceptionally brightly. A pair of eyes are like rippling autumn water, the eyes are black with a little blue, the small nose bridge is upturned, the corners of the mouth are smiling, the skin is dark white, and the appearance is a first-class outstanding, but the characteristics are also quite obvious, and it seems that it is not from the Central Plains.

Fu Rongyue saw her, glanced sideways at Mei Xiangrong, Mei Xiangrong nodded quietly, and Fu Rongyue knew that she had found the right person.

"Yes, it's so beautiful, it's easy for everyone to remember it, and even when she dances, there will be no one else in everyone's eyes. Fu Yue chuckled lightly with a wine glass.

Mei Yanshan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and was about to ask, when the situation in the field changed, only to see the extremely beautiful dancing girl slipping under her feet somehow, her body deviated, and collided with the dancing girl next to her. It was such a small mistake, and the dancing girl sat on the floor with her butt and fell an object from her waist.

Far away, I could still see that it was a letter.

Mai Ji fell out of this thing, and suddenly showed a panicked face, not caring about her companions, and not afraid of the inappropriateness in front of the palace, she rushed over and picked up the letters on the ground.

The dancing team was rushed by her like this, and it immediately became chaotic, and several girls collided with each other, so they had to stop, and knelt down in fear to say goodbye.

The source of this chaos was clear at a glance, and everyone's eyes fell on the extremely beautiful woman, but she only grabbed the letter in her hand and hid it in her arms in panic. Seeing that everyone stopped, she calmed down and pretended to be indifferent.

Emperor Shou's heart chuckled, and there were only four words: There is a ghost in his heart!
