Thinking of Rong Shizi's ignorance of her and the special treatment of Ming Yulong in front of the Ming Palace, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, he gently bit his lip, and said silently,

Big sister, I didn't do this on purpose, it was the third sister who repeatedly told me to make it difficult for you, and I couldn't help it. I didn't do anything, I just asked you to go up and dance.

When Ming Wangye saw Ming Rulu's actions, he originally wanted to reprimand her. Seeing that Ming Yulong was not surprised, he did not speak again in front of everyone.

Thinking about it, Ming Rulu is also a child, and when she saw that Ming Yulong hesitated, she simply wrote the same and handed it over.

After the chamberlain collected all the ladies of the paper, the Ministry of Rites began to record, and then decided the order of the performances by drawing lots.

After everything was done, he held the silver box with the name of the lady in front of the Queen Mother, "Please ask the Queen Mother to draw out the first lady to perform today." ”

The Queen Mother is today's birthday star, so naturally she will take the first name, she smiled and stretched out her hand to pull one, took it in her hand and unfolded it,

"Let's see who the first girl drawn by the mourning family today is, Zhao An of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, the performance program is a sword dance."

"I'm so lucky, the first one was drawn by the Queen Mother." Ming Rulu whispered.

The first person to perform, as long as the performance is not bad, has more preconceived advantages than the person in the middle.

Therefore, many people expect that they can draw as far as possible in the front, or simply go to the back.

At this time, many young ladies looked at Zhao An with envy.

Zhao An was a tall girl, and when she read her name, she also stood up happily, and the people in the Ministry of Rites were preparing to dance with the double swords.

When the queen heard this, she wrinkled her delicately painted eyebrows, and said disappretently:

"The Queen Mother is preparing such a show of dancing knives and guns on her birthday, does Miss Zhao have the intention to perform, or does she have ulterior motives?"

Her words frightened Zhao An, who was already jubilant, turned pale, she looked thirteen years old, probably didn't expect one of her shows to be accused of ulterior motives, so she quickly knelt down and said:

"The queen's mother, the courtier's daughter has learned martial arts since she was a child, and she also knows kung fu on the sword, and she also asks the queen mother to forgive her sins."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother glanced at Zhao An, who was pale with fright, and looked at the queen with obvious displeasure, and said lightly:

"Queen, the mourning family is here for the birthday today, and the little girls have prepared a show, which is all a heart.

What's so bad about sword dancing? Back then, the mourning family was with the first emperor, and they liked to watch people dance swords.

Your words turned Miss Zhao's frightened face white, and the unaware people around saw it, and thought that the mourning family was bullying the little girl on Shoudan. ”

The queen's eyes were still full of arrogance, and she smiled dignifiedly:

"It is precisely because it is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the people here are not only the Queen Mother, but also Your Majesty and the princes. The concubine was worried that it might be dangerous to take out items such as swords, so it was her duty to warn them. ”

Although the queen mother is old, she is not confused, and when she saw that the queen was still coming to talk back, her smile faded a little, and her voice was slightly cold,

"The queen of the mourning family knows that the queen is from a famous family of scholars, well-read, dignified and polite. I don't know much about the swords of these martial artists.

But everyone who performs the sword dance, when it comes to this birthday, they are replaced by bamboo swords that the Ministry of Rites has prepared for a long time, so you don't need to worry. ”

The first emperor laid down the Tianyuan Dynasty, and he was also born as a martial artist
