265.Chapter 265: The Challenge
Jiang Ming and Ah Feng finished writing, and they really posted it at the gate of the courtyard, not caring about the eyes of everyone in the palace of Guzhu Kingdom.
After sticking it, the two looked at it a few more times, and then happily held hands and went to the banquet.
As soon as Ah Feng and Jiang Ming left, someone from the palace left and went to the main hall in front, and the person she went to see was Gonggong An.
Someone led Ah Feng and Jiang Ming to the table: Although Ah Feng and Jiang Ming had heard the queen say that it was a state banquet, they didn't expect that there would be so many people - looking down, there were fifty or sixty people, to say the least.
This is to invite all the eldest ladies in the Lonely Bamboo Capital into the palace? Ah Feng glanced up when he saluted the queen, and saw that it was still the queen's cordial face.
The emperor of the Lone Bamboo Country is Tie Ying, who is dozens of years old, but he has more iron-blooded aura than Tie Ying, and he is domineering when he sits there.
He didn't speak, just glanced at Ah Feng a few times seriously, but nodded to Jiang Ming and said, "Sit." ”
Ah Feng's seat is next to Tie Ying, and Jiang Ming's seat is next to Ah Feng: from this point of view, I don't know if the people of Guzhu Country are broad-minded, or if the emperor and empress really regard Jiang Ming as Ah Feng's "mother's family".
Guzhuguo is to welcome Ah Feng's arrival tonight, and most of the people who came to accompany him are girls, but there are also a few young men, all of whom are sitting next to Jiang Ming: The emperor and empress are really thoughtful.
It's just that when Ah Feng saw Xia'er, who was sitting on the side of the queen's seat, and Yuning, who was kneeling beside the emperor and pouring him wine, he felt a little strange in his heart.
Even Bao Ning, unlike the other noble ladies, she stepped forward to sit next to the queen herself, either to give the emperor vegetables or to add tea to the queen: obviously Bao Ning and Yu Ning were extremely popular with the emperor and queen.
Especially won the emperor's favor, because the emperor treated them like daughters: seeing their appearance in front of the emperor of the Lonely Bamboo Country reminded Ah Feng of Tianfu and Wushuang in front of his father.
After Ah Feng and Jiang Ming glanced at each other, they both knew in their hearts that Bao Ning and Yu Ning had just arrived at Ah Feng, it would definitely not be a coincidence, nor would it be that they were unhappy with Ah Feng for a while.
"Ah Feng, you look seven or eight points like your mother." The emperor looked at Ah Feng: "Even the temperament has seven or eight points." Back then, after your mother arrived in our lonely bamboo country, she also convicted all my younger sisters. ”
He smiled and patted Yu Ning's head: "Young people, they are always inevitably willful, even if they are in the past." I believe you will be able to get along. ”
Ah Feng smiled: "The guest is as good as the host." "Yuning, they want to calm things down, and Ah Feng is of course happy; If Yuning and the others still want to get along with her, Ah Feng doesn't care.
The emperor looked at Ah Feng and shook his head: "Back then, your queen mother replied like this. How many years have passed...... he said, raising his glass and drinking it all.
The queen smiled and looked at Yu Ning and Bao Ning: "You are just naughty, and you dare to complain to the emperor?" It's not something you picked first, how can Princess Ningguo be strong as a guest. ”
She said a fair word for Ah Feng, which made Bao Ning and Yu Ning both bow their heads - originally they didn't react after the emperor spoke, but at this time they secretly glared at Ah Feng.
Yu Ning was the first to speak: "Princess Ningguo, our sisters are outspoken and fast-talking, and what they say is not careful, but Princess Ningguo thinks too much and is wronged." ”
"Our sisters and Princess Ningguo know more about each other, so naturally there will be no more such misunderstandings. Well, today is another good day, and the emperor and queen are so happy, why don't we do something to help the fun. I wonder what His Royal Highness Ning Guo thinks? ”
Her eyes stared at Ah Feng: "I have heard for a long time that Dachu is a state of etiquette, and our sisters' small skills are not worth mentioning, but they just want to throw bricks and lead jade, and they want to open their eyes to see His Royal Highness Ning Guo show their talents." ”
After speaking, Yu Ning looked at the queen: "Well, are we going to do poems and lyrics tonight, or play the piano and dance?" Bao Ning kept looking at Ah Feng while she spoke.
Seeing that Ah Feng's face smiled when he heard the poem, Bao Ning said: "This kind of moonlight is just a good time to make a dance." Poetry is a man's thing, doesn't it make a few sons laugh? ”
She looked at Ah Feng: "Our Guzhu Country is not like Da Chu, and our skills for things like the piano are really limited, but the drums have a lot of tunes circulating in our place." ”
"Please ask His Royal Highness Ning Guo to appreciate our sisters' encouragement first, and then ask His Royal Highness Ning Guo to give advice."
After Bao Ning and Yu Ning finished speaking, they saluted the emperor and empress, got up and made preparations - there was no chance for Ah Feng to refuse.
The queen said with a smile: "I have heard that Da Chu has a lot of people in the way of music and rhythm, and Ah Feng has practiced in the palace since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary. Hongu is a blessing for ears tonight. ”
As soon as she spoke, Ah Feng had no way out: she was now the eldest princess of Ning Guo who represented Da Chu, and if she stood up at this time and admitted that she would not know anything, the people she would lose were not only her own, but also Da Chu's.
Moreover, Ah Feng doesn't like to do embarrassing things, especially when the other party has calculations, she has to cooperate with the other party to embarrass people.
Jiang Ming ate a glass of wine and looked at Tie Ying: "Doesn't the palace know what happened to Ah Feng since he was a child?" ”
Ah Feng has not been paid attention to since he was a child, not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or needlework and the like, which are difficult to put on the table.
Such an arrangement, for Ah Feng, is almost equivalent to the people of the Lonely Bamboo Kingdom wanting to see Ah Feng's "liveliness": what princess of Ningguo, she doesn't know anything at all, and this is how the royal family of Da Chu raised her daughter?
Tie Ying pursed her lips: "I don't know. Of course, when I wrote the letter, I didn't write about Ah Feng's affairs, and I didn't have the opportunity to talk to my father and mother in detail after I came back. ”
"It's only now that I know what other 'competitions' are there." He frowned: "It's clearly aimed at Ah Feng, whose idea is this?!" ”
His gaze swept over Xia'er, who was sitting beside the queen, and looked back at Ah Feng: "I'll go and tell my father ......."
Ah Feng smiled slightly: "No need. And it's useless for you to say it, in front of everyone's eyes, I lost that person, but Da Chu can't afford to lose that person. ”
The emperor also looked at Ah Feng at this time: "Your mother's piano back then was the best in the world, and it would really go around the beam for three days when you played a song." Today, I want to see what your father has taught you. ”
"Do you have the demeanor of your mother?" After he finished speaking, he laughed a few times and looked at the queen: "Drums, but they are not the director of Da Chu, I'm afraid I can't hear the taste of Da Chu." ”
The queen smiled: "Isn't the emperor talking like this deliberately elevating our lonely bamboo, and he is not afraid that Ah Feng will laugh at you." The rhythm of Da Chu is world-famous, and we are just here to appreciate the difference between Da Chu and our drum music. ”
The drum is a common musical instrument in Lone Bamboo, and even ordinary people will hit it a few times.
In the laughter, the meaning of forcing Ah Feng to respond to the battle with drums diluted as if there was none: it was like no one had malicious intentions, as if everything was just because everyone wanted to be close to Ah Feng.
