As soon as the steps returned to the palace, they immediately made preparations for the evening dedication.

After dinner, a waning moon hangs high in the night sky. A row of red lanterns with the character Ji hangs under the eaves, and the dinner is to be held in this open-air open space. Guangrentang surrounded the cross platform with flowers, and hundreds of male attendants stood on the perimeter of the platform with lanterns, illuminating the entire Yongle Hall outside.

The direction of the cross platform is built on the north side facing the phoenix position, and the platform is only half a meter high, so that the empress can see it at a glance. The shape of the cross table divides the seating area into four large parts, and the princess's position is in the northeast, with only three people, which is very spacious. The position of the prince is in the northwest, and the eight princes are together, plus the three sons born to the fourth princess and the two sons born to the sixth princess, which is slightly crowded. The female officers sat on the southeast and southwest sides.

The empress was dressed in a pure gold phoenix robe tailored by Li Ziyou for her with a phoenix crown on her head, and she had sat down on the phoenix seat at a high place. The male attendants of the five emperors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth were also seated around the empress. In front of each table, a variety of fruits and drinks are placed for them to enjoy. The executive officer was not eligible to sit and could only stand behind the seat of the tenth-rank female officer.

"Qingluo, I'm so nervous......" Chu Qingluo and the others stood behind Li Ziyou's position, located on the southeast side of the platform. Peony was so nervous that she was trembling all the time.

"Take a deep breath." In fact, Chu Qingluo was also very nervous, and there was a cold sweat in his palms. I really don't know where I got the courage that day, but I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick to offer a plan for Li Ziyou, and when I was about to fight, I felt extremely panicked. Even if I was on a big show before, I didn't feel like I am now.

Fortunately, the dedication of the Garment Pavilion came last. Thanks to Li Ziyou's repeated communication with Ji Jie, she reluctantly agreed. So they have a lot of time, and they can wait until the show is halfway through to change their clothes.

The dinner began with the sound of drums, and the first to take the stage were the four princesses, playing the lyre. She sat in the center of the stage facing the empress, with a slanted bun on the top of her head, wearing a gem-encrusted butterfly gold step, revealing the outline of her entire face and a pair of gold leaf earrings. She slowly raised her hands, her fingers round and full, and the rose color on the nails made her fingers even more white and flawless. The cuffs are exquisitely inlaid with pearls, which is extremely luxurious.

She first lowered her head and plucked a few strings, and the tone was deep. This leaning over, the richness of the chest is even more eye-catching. After a soothing piano sound, she gradually quickened the movements of her hands, only to see that her gestures were staggered and generous, and the piano sound was melodious, and she continued to circle the beam for three days.

Although Chu Qingluo didn't know the piano, he could also hear that the four princesses' piano skills were really not covered. And this improved outfit highlights her sexy and sultry.

Yu Guang glanced at it and found that all the princesses and princes present had also changed into new clothes specially made for the grand dinner, and Chu Qingluo couldn't help but admire the masterpieces of his advice one by one.

His eyes turned diagonally to the opposite corner, and at a glance, he saw Ji Qiran, who was wearing an indigo blue robe, and just swept it by in a hurry. At this time, he was raising his glass and drinking, and he didn't notice Chu Qingluo's sight at all.

I have to say that God is really kind to Ji Qiran. Because he is so handsome, he will look good in anything...... Perhaps, it looks better without wearing it? Chu Qingluo suddenly became evil......

Next to Ji Qiran sat the fifth prince, playing with a piece of jade in his hand, listening to the music carefully. His clothes are actually in the style of an ink painting, elegant and clean. I just wonder if he smells of mint on him now?

In an instant, the four princesses have come to an end.

The empress praised with satisfaction: "Fulin's piano skills are becoming more and more exquisite, the bounty is one hundred taels, and two cloud servants are given, and the little county lord must be added as soon as possible." ”

The cloud attendant that the empress was referring to was not the kind of male attendant who grabbed a handful of them casually on the streets of Yancheng, but allocated two from her own private treasury to the fourth princess. The empress's private treasury that collects male servants is also known as the 'Cloud Palace', which collects the best beautiful men from all over the world, and is uniformly trained, and the empress can keep it for herself to enjoy as her harem, or she can use it to reward people. And this 'Cloud Palace' is also under the jurisdiction of Guangrentang Ji Jie.

The fourth princess was very happy to be given the cloud servant, which was equivalent to the empress giving her the dishes on her plate, which showed that she attached great importance to it. She was slightly blessed: "Thank you for the holy reward, and you will do your best." ”

Seeing this, the eighth princess smiled disdainfully, raised her hand to take a sip of wine, and whispered sarcastically: "This kind of thing is not something you can do with your best." ”

After the four princesses left the stage, the entourage quickly moved a wooden table to the stage, placed a high-legged glass bottle on it, and placed a large handful of unpruned fresh roses on it.

As soon as the qiē was ready, the six princesses rushed up. She combed a lily bun, with a simple beaded and emerald hairpin, and the blue and white smoke and phoenix tail skirt on her body was a little more elegant than the grace and luxury of the fourth princess. Holding a seven-star sword, she first saluted the empress, and then, with the sound of the piano in the audience, she stepped forward, and the long sword waved like a water snake.

"I can't see that such a thin sixth princess can also dance a sword." Peony lowered her voice.

Chu Qingluo obviously agreed, nodded and said, "Softness and rigidity are really powerful." ”

Before people could see her movements clearly, the sixth princess's sword suddenly turned and went straight to the flowers on the table...... The picked up roses spread out in the air, the sword fell in hand, and the flowers fell. In the blink of an eye, there was an extra pruned rose in her left hand.

"Okay!" The empress's eyes lit up and she exclaimed. This time, the six princesses' sword dance and flower cultivation are a bit new.

And the fourth princess and the eighth princess sitting in the audience at this moment, their faces are not very good-looking.

The sound of the piano continued, and the seven-star sword in the hand of the sixth princess picked up the rose again, smacked twice, and reached another one. After rising and falling several times, she inserted the roses in her hand into the glass bottle, and respectfully presented them to the empress: "I wish the saint eternal youth." ”

The empress saw that the sixth princess's flower arrangement skills were also very skillful, and she was very happy: "Ling'er has a heart." ”

Ling'er is the name of the sixth princess, and only she has not yet received the title.

"The swordsmanship of the six princesses is relaxed, and it is completely comparable to those who practice martial arts. If you don't practice for a long time, you can't have such a performance. The person who spoke was Yao Man, a female official of the fourth grade, and she praised the sixth princess unabashedly.

"Well—" The empress nodded happily. remembered that only this daughter has been obscure, so that there is no title now, which is inevitably biased, so he said: "Give the title, just call it 'Anyang'." ”

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the sixth princess, and soon disappeared again, and she hurriedly gave a big gift of thanks: "Thank you for the grace of the saint!" ”

Ji Ling'er was given the title, and she was on an equal footing with the fourth princess and the eighth princess. With only a sword dance and flower cultivation, and another person with the qualifications to inherit the throne joined, the faces of the two of them were obviously a little uglier.

The female officials in the audience also understood the mutation of the current shape, and they were really happy and worried. But on the bright side, they are also congratulating the six princesses.

Ji Qili secretly glanced at Ji Qiran beside him, and found that he was very calm, and even when he said hello to the sixth princess, his tone was faintly polite. The corners of Ji Qili's mouth hooked, he, the seventh brother, was really hidden.

Where did Chu Qingluo understand these hidden twists and turns, he just felt that this was just a reward.

It's time for the eighth princess to take the stage next, she combs her flying bun and has a five-colored hairband wrapped around her hair, which is radiant, but her current mood is terrible. She had a gloomy face, and when she passed by Nightshade, Nightshade's glance made her suddenly sober up. It's just a title, it doesn't mean anything...... She immediately adjusted her affection and smiled.

The eight princesses raised their sleeves lightly and had a graceful posture. The eye waves are circulating, and then the water sleeves are stretched, and there is a great tendency to ride the wind, like a goddess descending to earth.

As Chu Qingluo expected, when the eighth princess turned around gracefully, the colorful veil under the white skirt would bloom, and the hairband would flutter with it, and everyone was amazed.

"The eighth princess, this colorful group is so beautiful! Qingluo, you are awesome! Peony was so excited that she tugged at her sleeve twice.

"That's it." Chu Qingluo also felt that this picture was simply beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Seeing the eighth princess's hidden dress, Ji Qiran expected that it must also be from Chu Qingluo's handwriting, and he couldn't help but want to get a glimpse of her expression at the moment. But there were a bunch of people in lilac official uniforms standing in the audience, and he couldn't find her at a glance.

was looking for it quietly, but found that Ji Qili beside him had been staring at somewhere. He looked over curiously and found that Ji Qili was not staring at someone else, it was Chu Qingluo he was looking for.

There was a bright smile on her face at the moment, and the corners of Ji Qili's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Ji Qiran noticed the change in Ji Qiran's expression, and he was stunned. Ji Qiran's gaze was like a falcon locking onto its prey, and her sluggish quail still looked happy, Ji Qiran's brows furrowed unconsciously......

Li Ziyou, who had been watching the show, suddenly turned around and commanded in a low voice: "You better go down and prepare in advance." ”

"Yes." Chu Qingluo responded and passed on the words quietly.

Then, they silently left the Yongle Palace.

In the garment pavilion, the twenty male entourages led by Ziyan and Li Yu were ready. After the twenty female officers also changed their clothes, they came over to apply makeup and powder to them.

Originally, Chu Qingluo wanted to take a look at the style of Tang makeup, but she was afraid that none of them would be painted well, and it would be bad if she changed from a flower like a jade to a flower.

In order to maintain the mystery of the clothing, the female officers put on a thin cape. After everything was ready, Chu Qingluo spoke: "When you go on stage later, don't be nervous, and show the state of training on weekdays." Everyone has worked hard for so many days, it's up to tonight. ”

She knew that if even she was not calm, the rest of them would be affected by her and become nervous, so she had to be strong first.

"I'm fine anyway." Luo Lifei is still full of confidence and eager to try.

Ziyan and Li Yu also nodded one after another, indicating that it was all right.

Chu Qingluo glanced at the peony again, until she gasped a few times and nodded her head before she said again, "Who still has a problem now?" If you don't have it, you set off, and when you get there, you have to be tough no matter what difficulties you encounter, and even if you fall on the stage, you have to get up and keep walking, understand? ”

After everyone nodded again, the forty people went to the Yongle Hall together. Chu Qingluo and Peony held each other's hands and cheered each other secretly......
