Chapter 9 Celebration Banquet
The next morning, Jiang Yue got up in a daze. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thought: This damn Lin Chengxuan, the third watch came to her room in the middle of the night to wake her up, causing her not to sleep well, alas, but it's not good to be so fat all the time, it's inconvenient to move, and it may be bad to get some diabetes or something at that time! Thinking of this, Jiang Yue suddenly sobered up a lot.
"Xiaolian, Xiaolian!" Jiang Yuebian got up and changed her name to Xiaolian.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Xiaolian trotted all the way into the house.
"What time is it?" Jiang Yue asked while dressing, and Xiaolian next to her saw it and came to help Jiang Yue get dressed, and answered Jiang Yue's question by the way, "Niangniang, it's almost noon now." "Oh my God, I've slept for so long, Jiang Yue thought to herself.
"Oh, that's a little bit before dinner." The dinner party began at nearly six o'clock, and it was now nearly eleven o'clock.
"Yes, sis. You can also prepare now. ”
"Prepare what?" Jiang Yue was a little confused, but she was a little uncertain, wouldn't it be for me to perform my talents......
"Prepare for some talent shows." Xiaolian's cheerful answer gave Jiang Yue a heavy blow.
"Performance?! I won't! Jiang Yue screamed.
"This ...... Oh, look at the memory of the slave, you are already married, so you don't have to perform. ”
"Oh, that's great. I don't know how to show talent or anything, I haven't learned guzheng, I haven't learned painting, I can't perform anything. I thought it would be more affordable to give a gift. What's the point of acting, haha"
Jiang Yue is an orphan in modern times, only living a simple life with an old Chinese medicine doctor, how can she have any spare money to learn what guzheng, piano and the like, and she has learned to paint with her master, or to paint herbal medicine, and the best is to teach herself to write a good calligraphy.
Wait a minute...... If there is a scheming at a banquet who wants to make me look ugly, he will definitely propose to let me perform, isn't this the case in both novels and TV series? So I'd better keep a hand and prepare to be more safe. Brush ...... By the way, if I am allowed to perform at that time, I can perform calligraphy!
"There it is! I can perform calligraphy. Writing a poem for King Yue is more practical than an ordinary song and dance performance, and there will be no jokes. Jiang Yue thought to herself, so she happily said to Xiaolian, "Xiaolian, hurry up and prepare the four treasures of the study for me, oops, it's a little rusty if you don't practice for a long time." ”
"Calligraphy?" Xiaolian was a little puzzled, when did Niangniang learn calligraphy? Wondering and bored, Xiaolian still went to prepare the four treasures of the study, even if Lin Chengtian didn't like Jiang Yue, he still treated Jiang Yue as a princess, after all, he had to make a full set, so Xiaolian quickly asked someone to prepare the four treasures of the study.
So Jiang Yue locked herself in the house, kept practicing calligraphy, and thought about what good poems she had, she had no literary talent and could only borrow the verses of the great poets of ancient times, but she still had no confidence, she didn't know if there were any masters in this time and space to Li Bai Dufu, if there were, it would be embarrassing.
But no matter what, there was no way to do it, she didn't want others to make fun of herself at the banquet, after all, she still had some dignity.
When it was almost time to arrive, Xiaolian began to dress up for Jiang Yue. After everything was ready, Jiang Yue and Xiaolian came to the gate, and when they saw Lin Chengtian, they felt that they hadn't seen this person much today.
"What is the princess busy in the house today? I haven't seen you come out for a day. Lin Chengtian asked with a smile.
"The concubine has been preparing not to make a fool of herself at the celebration banquet tonight." Jiang Yue replied with a smile.
"Oh?" Lin Chengtian looked at Jiang Yue and felt that this woman was becoming more and more unpredictable, and her personality had changed a lot, but he still made a "please" gesture to Jiang Yue, "Princess, get in the car." Jiang Yue looked at the front of the carriage, no longer a servant but a bench, this made Jiang Yue quite comfortable, this Lin Chengtian's kung fu to please people is not bad.
After arriving at the banquet, Jiang Yue was very happy, because the place where the banquet was held was very beautiful, which Jiang Yue liked very much.
"King Cheng, Princess Cheng has arrived." The eunuch's voice always made Jiang Yue uncomfortable. But as soon as the eunuch's voice fell, the people present looked at them one after another.
There was sarcasm, disgust, schadenfreude, and jealousy in their eyes. Jiang Yue saw it all in her eyes, really, if you are not beautiful, no one cares about your inner beauty. But among them, Jiang Yue also saw Jiang Zhengming and Yuan Qing, so she happily ran to them.
"Dad, mother."
"Oh, my precious girl." Jiang Zhengming and Yuan Qing were very happy when they saw Jiang Yue. Jiang Zhengming was even more happy to hug Jiang Yue but was stopped by Yuan Qing, after all, the daughter who got married was hugged by her father in front of the public.
"Yue'er, slow down." Yuan Qing said softly, and at the same time raised his hand to help Jiang Yue tidy up the hair ornament on his head. Jiang Yue looked at Yuan Qing shyly, it was the first time that her mother helped her fix her hair, Jiang Yue was very happy.
"The son-in-law meets the father-in-law and the mother-in-law." Lin Chengtian walked to them unhurriedly and bowed to Jiang Zhengming's Yuan Qing.
"His Royal Highness King Cheng doesn't need to be polite." Jiang Zhengming didn't want to admit this son-in-law in his heart, since Yuan Qing told him that Jiang Yuexiang and Lin Chengtian had reconciled, he didn't want to deal with this Chengwang even more.
"It's not too early, the son-in-law has taken the princess away." Lin Chengtian felt a little strange, but he also said it when he blamed him.
"Well, go ahead. Yue'er eats and drinks well tonight, I see you've lost weight recently. Jiang Zhengming was a little reluctant.
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll be fine!" Jiang Yue was a little crying and laughing when she heard Jiang Zhengming's words, and after speaking, Jiang Yue and Lin Chengtian came to their place.
"The emperor has arrived~~The queen has arrived~~ The concubine has arrived~~ Concubine Xin has arrived~~King Yue has arrived~~The Nine Emperor Princes have arrived~~" After the eunuch shouted, everyone in the audience knelt down.
"Long live the emperor, long live the queen's mother, long live, thousand years old."
After the emperor and the queen and others were seated, the emperor shouted, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”
"Your Majesty."
"Last year, Qingxia State has been harassing our border, the border people are living in dire straits, Qingxia Country has intensified, and even began to openly raise troops to attack our border, and King Yue was ordered to repel the enemy army in less than half a year, and also volunteered to guard the border for half a year, and returned to the imperial capital the day before yesterday. I was very pleased, so I held this celebration banquet to wash the dust for my Xuan'er! Come, Xuan'er, I salute you! ”
"Thank you, Father!" Lin Chengxuan raised his glass and drank with the emperor.
After Lin Chengxuan and the emperor finished drinking, the ministers stood up and said to Lin Chengxuan, "Congratulations to King Yue on his victory." ”
"Please!" Lin Chengxuan raised his glass again and drank with the minister.
"Good! I announce that the banquet is now open! The emperor said happily.
"Play the music~~~" The eunuch received the order and began to announce, "The first performer, the daughter of Shangshufu, Wang Ruolin, performs the dance~~"
As soon as the words ended, a woman in a white dance dress followed several dancers in red dance clothes appeared in the people's realization and began to perform. Jiang Yue also watched these performances, watching with relish, people danced really well in ancient times, look at the waist, look at the legs, and then look at the feet...... Eh, the foot wrapped to the deformed foot is not beautiful at all, fortunately I didn't wrap my foot, so lucky!
Unconsciously, the performance was coming to an end, and when Jiang Yue was glad that no one wanted to perform by herself, the last performer did not leave after the performance, but knelt on the ground and saluted, and said to the emperor, "The courtier is Cheng Xue, the daughter of General Jianwei, and I have a reluctant request." ”
"Oh? You said. "The emperor is in a good mood today.
"The courtiers have always heard that the prime minister's talents are extraordinary, and the literary talents of Princess Cheng are also excellent, so the courtiers want to invite Princess Cheng to come up and write a poem to congratulate King Yue on his triumph." Cheng Xue said with a smile: "I believe that Princess Cheng will definitely not refuse this small request of the courtier." ”
"Of course not." Jiang Yue said confidently, "Today celebrates the triumph of King Yue, so how can I shirk it." ”
The people present were full of surprise and disdain, who didn't know that Jiang Yue, the daughter of the prime minister, was a violent and murderous person and never liked to read, and now let her write a poem on the spot, and she was still full of confidence, it was really a joke.
Cheng Xue was still a little surprised, but she recovered quickly, "Then, the little girl is waiting for the princess's masterpiece." ”
Concubine Xin rolled her beautiful eyes after seeing it, and her heart was full of disgust, what kind of mess is this Jiang Yue, obviously there is not a drop of ink in her stomach, what kind of talented woman is here, it is really embarrassing, if it weren't for the fact that this woman still has a little use value, otherwise Tian'er would have let Tian'er take a break from this woman!
"Can the emperor borrow his daughter-in-law to use the four treasures of the following room?"
"Of course! Come and take the four treasures of the study. ”
The people present were very disdainful, in addition to the emperor, Jiang Zhengming Yuanqing also had Lin Chengxuan and Lin Chengtian.
Lin Chengtian drank wine, thinking of Jiang Yue's self-confidence before departure, and inexplicably had the urge to believe in Jiang Yue, and at the same time looked forward to it.
Soon the eunuch brought up the four treasures of the study, and several people set up the table in front of Jiang Yue, laid out the paper, and studied the ink.
"Princess, everything is ready." The eunuch and the others stood respectfully by the side and waited for Jiang Yue's orders.
"Thank you." After speaking, Jiang Yue began to write.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Yue finally finished writing, put down the brush, and bowed to the emperor, "Father, daughter-in-law has already written." Please forgive me for not writing well. ”
The eunuch next to him handed over the rice paper written by Jiang Yue to the emperor, and after the emperor saw it, he first squinted and pondered, and then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, good!" Princess Cheng wrote it so well! This poem writes the excitement of the battlefield and the might of our generals! Good! The emperor's unsparing praise made the surrounding people a little confused.
"Father, can you borrow it from your son?" Lin Chengxuan was full of curiosity about Jiang Yue's poem, what kind of poem could make his father praise him so much.
"Give the poem to King Yue." The emperor asked the eunuch beside him to hand it to Lin Chengxuan. After Lin Chengxuan saw it, he was also very excited, which reminded him of the hard life of the soldiers and the heroic battle of the generals on the battlefield last year.
"Good poetry! Sure enough, it's a good poem! And it's wonderful that such words are paired with such poems! Lin Chengxuan also spoke highly of this word and poem. I'll show you this poem. The eunuchs unfolded the poem in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone was very surprised, this word, this poem. Especially Jiang Zhengming and Yuan Qing, their faces are full of pride, and our daughter is really the best.
I saw the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the rice paper with the words "The captivity is across the northern wilderness, and Hu Xingyao is fine." Yushu was shocked quickly, and the beacon fire was full of light during the day. Huzhu saves the border urgently, and Rong Chesen has done. The master of the Ming is not restless, and the heart of the sword is flying. Push the hub out of the fierce general, even the flag on the battlefield. The soldiers are desperate and murderous. At the foot of the red mountain, the camp was opened. The sand and wind in the winter are tight, and the flag is withered. The painting corner is sad and the sea and the moon, and the clothes are covered with frost. Repay the Son of Heaven and return to the imperial capital with songs. ”
People who have never been on the battlefield have a surging heart after reading it, let alone the generals who have been on the battlefield. The ministers present praised Jiang Yue's literary brilliance, but those women were still very disdainful, what kind of battlefield poems did the girls write, and they didn't understand the rhythm, what was the pride?
Lin Chengtian's thoughts about Jiang Yue changed a lot after seeing it, and he felt that Jiang Yue was full of charm at this moment, and he was pondering.
And Lin Chengxuan was even happier after seeing it, and his mother found a good helper for him, and at the same time had an idea, he must let her take a break from Lin Chengtian as soon as possible, she belongs to him, and with such subordinates, his hegemony will definitely succeed!
