Chapter 23: The Dinner Begins (2)

Chao Ximeng's dress today, coupled with a guqin, does have a bit of fairy taste, plus Chao Ximeng deliberately changed his temperament, and the whole performance won the applause of the audience. Seeing this, Chao Xiwu sneered, Chao Ximeng is really an expert in playing power, no wonder he lost so badly in his previous life.

After playing confidently, Chao Ximeng stood up unhurriedly and said, "The courtiers are ugly." ”

Li Mei's impression of Chao Ximeng was not bad, she smiled gently, and praised, "You don't have to be modest, it's good to play well, there's nothing to shirk." ”

Hearing this, Chao Ximeng's heart was even more proud, although his face pretended to be modest, but the pride in his eyes never escaped Chao Xiwu's eyes.

"Are you Chao Aiqing's daughter?" Xuanyuan Qing asked, although Chaoxi Dance and Chaoxi Dream are two completely different people, there are always similarities on their bodies.

"Yes, the courtier's name is Chaoxi Meng." Chao Ximeng hid her excitement, she didn't expect Xuanyuan Qing to ask herself, she just wanted to leave her own shadow in someone's heart.

"Hehe... Come on, reward. Xuanyuan Qing said happily, he doesn't like Chaohuoxin, but he doesn't hate it, compared to so many stubborn ministers, Chaohuoxin is a little better, but Chaohuoxin's style of doing things makes him not like it very much. Therefore, the new position of Chaohuo has been tepid.

This time, Chaohuo Xinhui tried every means to let Wu'er marry Xuanyuan Promise, just to improve his status, although he is the head of the generals, but in the end he is still a martial artist, and many times what he says has no influence.

"Courtiers Xie Lu Xie Emperor." Chao Ximeng knelt down on one knee and said happily.

Chao Ximeng returned to his position with his share of reward, Chao Huoxin looked at Chao Ximeng with a smile on his face, and praised, "I didn't embarrass my father, it's good, it's good." ”

"A daughter won't disgrace her father." Chao Ximeng swore and said, his eyes were full of confidence and pride, and it seemed that Zhao Xiwu really looked like a clown.

Chaohuo Xin nodded with satisfaction, he really didn't bring Meng'er in vain today, although Meng'er is not a concubine, but with today's performance, it is definitely a very simple matter to find a good family to marry in the future.

Chao Ximeng just retreated, Li Qingqing also volunteered to go to the main hall, she would never lose to Chao Ximeng, the previous humiliation, she still holds a grudge, today she will let Chao Ximeng return it to her with interest.

Li Qingqing finished the salute respectfully, and said respectfully: "The courtiers presented a song "Peacock Dance", hoping that the emperor and the queen would like it. ”

Long before, Li Qingqing practiced dance hard, just hoping to beat Chaoxi Meng, in the selection of the first talented girl last time, she lost to Chaoxi Dream in dance, so from that day on, she kept working hard every day, just to be ashamed of today.

Li Qingqing's peacock dance, in Chaoxi Dance's opinion, is indeed a good dance, but that is only on the technique. Li Qingqing's dancing has no soul, she just shows off her dancing skills, but it is self-defeating like this, which has become her biggest shortcoming, and people with a discerning eye can see it at a glance, no wonder Li Qingqing will lose to Chao Ximeng, Chao Ximeng does much better than Li Qingqing in this regard.

At the end of the song, Li Qingqing gasped and stood in place, looking at the emperor and queen with bright eyes, hoping to hear the words of praise.

I only heard "Yes, yes, it seems that Qingqing has worked hard." Xuanyuan Qing said kindly.

What did Xuanyuan Qing say to his niece? I can't say I like it or I don't like it, she is indeed a little proud, but she doesn't have any harmful intentions, at most she is spoiled as a little girl.

"Yes, Qingqing's dancing is really good, shouldn't the emperor reward anything?" Li Mei looked at Xuanyuan Qing gently, her niece, of course she wanted to fight for Li Qingqing's best.

"Well, it should be rewarded, and someone will reward it."

Li Qingqing said with joy in her heart: "Courtier, Xie Lu, Emperor Xie, Queen." ”

Li Qingqing also looked in the direction of Chao Ximeng from time to time, and threw a provocative look at her, Chao Ximeng was indifferent on the surface, but her clenched hand in her sleeve revealed her unfair mood.

"Your Majesty, the sound of Chao Ximeng's piano just now amazed the courtiers, can the courtiers ask Chao Ximeng's sister Chao Xiwu to come up and play a song, compared to being Chao Ximeng's sister, Chao Xiwu should play better." Li Qingqing immediately led the disaster to Chao Xiwu's body.

She will not let go of any opportunity to laugh at Chaoxi Meng, she has long known that Chaoxi Dance will not do anything, and the sister of the first talented woman in the capital is a waste material, and she feels so happy when she thinks about it.

Li Mei, as Li Qingqing's aunt, how could she not know what Li Qingqing thought, she also disliked Chaoxi Dance very much, since she could make her ugly, of course she was willing to push it, and said, "Your Majesty, Qingqing's proposal is indeed good, why don't you let Chaoxi Dance play a song for the emperor." ”

Xuanyuan Qinghe was curious, and followed Xuanyuan's miracles to learn how the Chaoxi Dance was, and agreed, "It's okay, let me see and understand." ”

The person concerned, Chao Xiwu, had a calm face, and couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart, but Chao Huoxin on the side was not so calm, and his heart was very anxious. He sent Wu'er to the iceberg, just to learn martial arts, whether that person taught Wu'er these things, he really didn't dare to guarantee.

Chaohuo Xin looked at Chao Xiwu and found that she was not in a hurry at all, thinking that she would do, so she relaxed, but when she thought of Chao Xiwu's next sentence, he couldn't wait to slap Chao Xiwu awake.

"Back to the emperor, the folk girl learned martial arts from her master in the iceberg since she was a child, and she did not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." In Chao Xiwu's words, there is no shame and inferiority at all.

Xuanyuan Qing was embarrassed for a moment, he thought that it was a miracle of Xuanyuan that did not teach Chaoxi Dance, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart about Xuanyuan Miracle, this master was not qualified at all, and he was not embarrassed by Chaoxi Dance.

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue, it doesn't matter. How about you give me a martial arts performance? "Xuanyuan Qing is very kind.

"Yes."

As a last resort, Chao Xiwu really didn't want to expose her talent, which would only cause unnecessary trouble for herself, and she came this time to make Xuanyuan promise to be discouraged by herself.

Chao Xiwu looked around the main hall for a week, but did not find anything that could replace the sword, and immediately said, "I don't know if the emperor can lend a sword to the courtiers." ”

Xuanyuan Qing generously agreed, and soon a sword was sent to Chao Xiwu's hand.
