Chapter 50: Competitive Arts
Xiaolan is here again, rolling and selling cute ball collections! Boom!
After eating two pastries and drinking another cup of hot almond milk, Wu Tianrou felt a little full, so she raised her head and looked around.
Mrs. Wu and Wu Yunyang naturally sat in the front and sat with the officials and ladies. Wu Zixu sat with some young men, laughing and laughing in a low voice.
Wu Tianrou and Wu Chengcheng are where the ladies of the various mansions are sitting, and in front of them are the county lords of the palace.
And behind them, sitting were the concubines of the various provinces, and Wu Tianhua and Wu Tianqiu were sitting behind them. The main hall is very spacious, so all of them are seated for one person.
As for the people brought by the various prefectures, most of them were left outside the palace, and there was their own place for them to rest, and only the maids who were close to each person followed up with the palace, mainly to serve their own young ladies to change their clothes and perform their talents.
Silently glancing around, Wu Tianrou took a general look at the people sitting next to her, and didn't care about who was sitting next to her like in her previous life.
Wu Tingcheng's left hand sat was Sun Yueru of Sun Shilang's family, at this time the two were whispering with their heads down, Wu Tianrou's right hand position was still empty, she continued to look to the right, and found that it was not the chubby Du Rong sitting at the two small tables.
She just wanted to turn her head to look at the others, but Du Rong suddenly raised her head, just in time to see Wu Tianrou, and waved her hand with a smile.
Wu Tianrou also smiled and nodded at her, and watched her suddenly stand up and walk to the side of a young lady who was separated from Wu Tianrou at a table.
Seeing Du Rong smiling and saying a few words to the other party, the young lady nodded, then stood up and walked to Du Rong's position and sat down, it turned out that the two had exchanged places.
"Xiaorou, you came so early, I just arrived."
Sitting near Wu Tianrou, Du Rong's chubby face was flushed, obviously there was a wind blowing on the way just now.
"It's not too early, it's just a little bit earlier than you. You can eat something too, and when everyone arrives later, the talent show will begin. ”
Smiling at Du Rong, Wu Tianrou raised her hand and pointed to the pastries and fruits on her small table.
"Well, I've been hungry for a long time, and I ate two pastries in the carriage, but that's not enough."
No longer speaking, Du Rong grabbed a piece of pine nut cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it with bulging cheeks.
Wu Tianrou looked at Du Rong's movements, couldn't help but raise her hand to cover the smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she was smiling, she felt a figure walking over on the side, turned her head to look, and found that it was Liu Ruyan who came over.
"Ruyan, it turns out that you are sitting here."
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would sit with you, it's great, I finally don't have to sit with those delicate and pretentious girls for a few hours!"
Haha laughed, Liu Ruyan sat in her position, and did not forget to raise her hands and pat Wu Tianrou and Du Rong.
"Ahem, you can be light like smoke, you almost choked me."
Coughing twice, Du Rong's big apricot kernel cat's eyes turned white, and then she didn't forget to continue to stretch out her hand to pick up the pastry and stuff it into her mouth.
"You, you can eat, when I just came over, I heard Mrs. Du and my mother say that I want you to lose weight when I go back."
Looking at Du Rong, Liu Ruyan smiled, and saw with satisfaction that the other party showed a frustrated expression after hearing his words.
Amused by the interaction between the two, Wu Tianrou turned her head and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. After putting down the teacup, listening to the laughter beside her, Wu Tianrou was slightly distracted.
In her previous life, she really didn't pay attention to who was around her, but she could clearly remember that sitting next to her was a young lady she was not familiar with, not Liu Ruyan.
"Could it be that something has changed because of my rebirth?"
"What does my sister think? Look, the emperor, the queen, and the princes have all come out, and the one wearing exotic clothes walking behind should be the prince of the gilded country! ”
Wu Tingcheng gently pushed Wu Tingrou, and then looked up at the main seat in front of him with an interested face.
Wu Tianrou came back to her senses, and looked up hurriedly, and saw the emperor and the queen dressed in costumes, sitting on the main throne, and on either side of them sat the princes, and on the outer position on the left hand side, there was indeed a young man in exotic costumes.
This person Wu Tianrou had seen in his previous life, and it was Jin Mingchi, the prince of the Gilded Kingdom.
After the emperor sat down, everyone knelt down and shouted long live, and then under the emperor's smile and wave, everyone stood up and sat back on their seats.
"This year is going to pass again, and it's almost a new year, this year, thanks to your dedication and dedication, I can make my Tianshui country and the people safe, and the widow is here to toast you."
Picking up the wine glass in his hand, the emperor raised his arm and gestured downward, and then, everyone raised the wine glass, and the shouts in the hall were deafening for a while.
"Thank you for the wine, long live the emperor!"
After the cry, everyone drank the wine. Wu Tianrou also picked up the wine glass with everyone, but she didn't drink the wine, but took a little sip in a pretentious way.
She didn't want to accidentally do something wrong because she was greedy and drank too much. For the state banquet in this life, she has to choose a different path from her previous life.
When Wu Tianrou was thinking about her thoughts, under the interaction of the monarch and the ministers, she had already drunk three glasses of wine in a row. Finally, the emperor put down his wine glass, and together with the queen, said with a smile on his face that the talent show of this year's royal state banquet officially began.
In the warm applause, the princes and county lords first took the stage to start the performance.
The eldest prince and the second prince took the lead, and several other princes took the stage together and performed a masculine hunting dance, which was popular in the military, showing the strength of the man's martial arts. After this dance, the nobles below were flushed, and they wanted to shout but were embarrassed, and they were all blushing and about to rub the handkerchiefs in their hands.
"Shhhh It's all pretend! When I just watched the princes dance, my saliva was about to flow down one by one, and now they are all pretending to be ladies, which is really hypocritical! ”
Approaching Wu Tianrou, Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and whispered with disdain.
"Okay, what do you care about them, by the way, what kind of show are you going to prepare?"
Glancing at Wu Tingcheng, who was flushed beside him, Wu Tingrou retracted his gaze and smiled at Liu Ruyan.
"I don't know the same as your piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, I'll just go up and dance a sword in a while."
Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Ruyan stuck out her tongue at Wu Tianrou, with an expression that I could only do like this.
