In the middle of the banquet, Li Qi'er came to ask Ma Xiuying for her guilt, "The concubine disturbed the queen last time, and asked the queen to forgive her sins." ”

Last time, she left Kunning Palace in a hurry, secretly paying attention to Ma Xiuying's movements, and heard that Ma Xiuying was vomiting blood and in a coma, and thought that Ma Xiuying couldn't survive this time. Who knew that Ma Xiuying was so tenacious, not only survived, but her body was getting better and better, she was able to get out of bed and walk around during this time, and also held banquets. She was frightened and frightened, and hurriedly took advantage of the gap to plead guilty.

Ma Xiuying glanced at her complicatedly and said, "It's okay, presumably you didn't mean it." ”

This blatant and sarcastic words were extremely uncomfortable in Li Qi'er's ears, and she smiled awkwardly: "The concubine respects the queen with a cup, and wishes the queen good health and good luck." ”

Xun Ying said coldly: "The queen should not drink alcohol, please use tea instead." It stands to reason that when she reminded Li Qi'er to use tea to toast Ma Xiuying, she should take the initiative to pour the tea, and then Li Qi'er raised her glass. But she didn't like Li Qi'er to cause Ma Xiuying to be seriously ill, so she only opened her mouth and looked at Li Qi'er coldly.

Li Qi'er didn't bring the palace maid when she came, and Xunying refused to help her pour tea, so she had to do it herself.

In front of the public, the dignified concubine actually did the slave thing, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. Li Qi'er didn't know how she finished the cup of tea, and she fled back to her seat without raising her head again.

Zhu Di saw the scene here, his eyes swept over the vulture, he looked at Xun Ying carefully, remembering the appearance of this palace maid, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely break this palace maid who dared to humiliate his mother and concubine into pieces!

Ma Xiuying saw everyone's strange eyes, frowned and warned Xun Ying, "This is not allowed in the future." She frowned not because Xunying was rude, but because she was worried about Xunying's lawless character, what would she do without her protection in the future.

"The slave knows what is wrong. Xun Ying replied, but she was secretly proud in her heart, whoever dared to make Ma Xiuying sad was her enemy! It was light for her to make fun of Li Qi'er like this, you must know that she once watched Guo Hui being hanged in cold blood, and she didn't blink her eyelids. As for what will happen in the future, it is not in her consideration at all, she just wants to make Ma Xiuying happy in the past few years with Ma Xiuying and not be bullied by anyone.

There were many exquisite people at the banquet, and such a small episode was quickly resolved by everyone, and the atmosphere was warm again.

When the banquet is about to end, and the climax part is coming, Wang, Xie and Xu Miaoyun will perform their talents, in fact, it is to give them a chance to show their faces and be recognized by everyone.

Wang's performance is the Horse Whip Dance, a traditional Mongolian dance in which herders sing their wishes for a better life and express their joy when the prancing horse raises its whip. I don't know if Wang was snubbed and angry or because she drank alcohol, she raised the whip as if she was venting, and there was no trace of beauty, but several concubines were so frightened that they screamed, for fear that the whip would be drawn on her.

When Wang finished dancing, the audience was silent, and there was only one thought in his heart: Sure enough, she was a barbarian woman, and she was not educated.

Zhu Fan's face turned red, he felt that those disdainful eyes were not looking at Wang but at him, if Zhu Biao hadn't held him down, he would have left the table now.

Ma Xiuying said coldly: "The Wang family is a little drunk, help her down to rest." She was also very angry in her heart, she didn't expect the Wang family to be so ignorant and embarrassed everyone in public, you must know that she is the princess set by Zhu Zhang, and her loss of face is equal to Zhu Rong's loss of face.

Xun Ying hurriedly asked people to help Wang away, and changed the topic and asked, "Who will perform first, Miss Xie or Miss Xu?"

Xu Miaoyun stood up generously and said, "The courtiers have also prepared a dance for the queen to enjoy." ”

The silk and bamboo sounded, Xu Miaoyun was like an ethereal swallow flying and dancing with the music, sometimes moving slowly like a light cloud, sometimes turning like a whirlwind, with light and fluttering steps, and a calm and generous demeanor.

Everyone nodded frequently, and the praise was endless, although Xu Miaoyun's dance was not as beautiful as that of professional kabuki, but compared with Wang's family, it was really different from cloud and mud. This is the dance that women in the Central Plains should practice, so what the hell is the Wang family dancing!

Ma Xiuying smiled, Xu Miaoyun is really a smart woman, who knows how to seize the opportunity and use the shortcomings of others to bring out her strengths. She admired Xu Miaoyun's cleverness very much, and as soon as the dance was over, she immediately ordered someone to reward one piece of jade Ruyi, three silk horses, and a number of bead flowers.

Mrs. Xie Cui'e of Wei stood up with honor to thank her, and Ma Xiuying rewarded Xu Miaoyun but not Wang, which shows that Ma Xiuying still loves her daughter very much.

Only Xie Meini was left, she stood up wrigglingly, and said: "The courtiers can't dance, and the courtiers made a poem to congratulate the queen mother on her good health." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was interested, and it was rare for the daughter of Jiangmen to be able to compose poems.

Ma Xiuying saw that Mrs. Yongpinghou's mouth was slightly open, a little funny, and said kindly: "Read it to the palace, if you do it well, the palace will also be rewarded." ”

Xie Meini looked at Xu Miaoyun, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth to read: "The phoenix perches on the sycamore, and the birds hear the song and dance; ”

"Good! good!" everyone immediately praised, this is a poem praising the phoenix, isn't the phoenix the queen, who can not say good.

Mrs. Yongping Hou happily pulled her daughter and couldn't stop praising her, her daughter can compose poems, and she writes so well, it really gave her a big surprise.

Xie Meini secretly squeezed her eyebrows at Xu Miaoyun, and Xu Miaoyun also gave a slight thumbs up.

Ma Xiuying saw the small movements of the two girls and immediately understood that there was a cat in them, I heard that Xu Miaoyun was talented, she was chaste and quiet when she was young, she liked to read, she can be called a Confucian among women, known as "female students", maybe this poem is what she helped Xie Meini think. However, in this happy atmosphere, Ma Xiuying did not reveal it, and said with a smile: "The palace is already old, where can I compare to you little girls, one by one is the most brilliant sunrise." Xie's poems are well written, and they are also rewarded. "According to the custom, Xie Meini was rewarded with one piece of jade Ruyi, three silk horses, and a number of bead flowers.

Then Ma Xiuying said to the two daughters: "In the future, when you marry the royal family, you must be diligent and submissive, dignified and wise, respectful and prudent, and set an example for my royal family." ”

Then called Zhu Zhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Di in front of him, and advised: "You can only become husband and wife if you have fate, and you must respect and love each other in the future, and support each other." ”

Zhu Di and Zhu Di hurriedly said yes, but Zhu Fan just nodded reluctantly, obviously still haunted by Wang's gaffe.

It can't go on like this, Zhu Fan is so disgusted with the Wang family before he gets married, how will he live in the future? Ma Xiuying thought about persuading Zhu Yuanzhang and choosing a virtuous daughter-in-law for Zhu Yuanzhang again.
