Chapter 77: The Peacock Chooses the Phoenix

The Northern Palace, the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of wonderful dance.

This palace banquet specially designed for Su Ye has been thought out of every detail.

It's just that the protagonist of this palace banquet has always paid attention to the women around him, and he doesn't care about the ghosts at the palace banquet.

Mo Qingyan is used to it, and it is not as unnatural as before. She is now focused on Ye Youlan's affairs.

During the banquet, she inadvertently stroked the silver hairpin and secretly observed the reactions of those people, but found nothing. She thought to herself, maybe it was because the people were so far away at the moment that they didn't look carefully. I just hope that I can find a chance to get close to them later.

Just thinking like this, he heard the voice of the queen above the main hall: "Today, in order to welcome the owner and Mrs. Su into the palace, the palace has specially prepared a special performance, and I also ask the emperor to allow you to go to the imperial garden to have a look." ”

"Oh? What special performances did the queen prepare? I was kept in the dark. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines should have informed the emperor in advance, but if this was said, wouldn't there be no surprises, and when the emperor saw it, if he was not satisfied, the concubines would voluntarily accept the punishment."

"Haha, if that's the case, how could I sweep everyone's interest, come here, and set up the imperial garden."

Emperor Beiyan's words fell, got up and led everyone to the imperial garden, and when they arrived at the position that the queen said, everyone only saw that the open space was covered with a red cloth.

Listening to the discussion of everyone behind her, the queen and the Emperor of the Northern Dead glanced at each other. Only then did he turn around and said unhurriedly: "Presumably, everyone here knows the legend of the Phoenix Maiden in Shikoku, but unfortunately I still don't know who the Phoenix Maiden is, but not long ago." The palace had to be given a treasure by a high-ranking monk, and according to him, this treasure has the ability to identify the phoenix girl. ”

"What? Is there such a treasure? ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ministers behind him could not hide their excitement as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Mo Qingyan was also shocked in her heart, and she didn't know what the hell she was going to do.

"Queen, that's so. Hurry up and take out the treasure, so that I can open my eyes. Emperor Beiyan couldn't wait.

"Back to the emperor, in fact, the treasure is close at hand. Inside this red cloth is the treasure. ”

"Oh? Then open it quickly, I can't wait. ”

"Yes"

With the queen's order, the two maidservants behind her stepped forward and lifted the red cloth. The crowd's eyes widened. I saw that there was a white peacock with a white and flawless body. It drags a beautiful tail. Shimmering with a holy sheen. Although it was locked in an iron cage at the moment, it still couldn't hide its pride.

Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, the queen said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that peacocks are born from phoenixes, and this white peacock is even rarer. You can watch it, it is related to it, this palace proposes, why don't you test the existence of a phoenix girl in your daughter here today? ”

"The queen's proposal is good, it seems that you have already thought of how to measure it?"

"Your Majesty. The method is not difficult, just let all the daughters come out and show their demeanor one by one. Let's see who can make this peacock open the screen. It is said that the king of birds has always been proud, and if anyone can tame it, doesn't it mean everything? ”

"Okay, it's up to you to decide, if you can choose a phoenix girl today, I will reward you heavily."

"Yes"

After a commotion, everyone took their seats again, leaving only the white peacock in the big iron cage in the open space.

"Which daughter comes first"

Hearing this, the daughters of the ministers in the audience were eager to try, but they were worried that they would not be chosen by the peacock, and they would become clowns instead.

Seeing this situation, the queen had to say again: "You just have to give it a try, don't be too nervous, just treat it as a performance for the emperor and princes on weekdays." ”

The queen's words fell, and sure enough, they had an effect, and several bold daughters took the initiative to step forward. I thought to myself, even if I wouldn't be chosen as a phoenix girl, if I was taken by a prince, it would be good.

Fighting skills, piano fighting skills, and all the talents on weekdays were taken out, but the peacock still raised his head proudly and never looked at them.

Everyone could not hide their loss, but as soon as these people started, the other daughters became bold and stepped forward to give it a try.

It was the turn of Lei Min, the daughter of the Lei Shangshu family, who stepped forward with a smile in her eyebrows, and her delicate and touching face was lined with a hint of delicate and cuteness. Her clothes danced lightly, and she overflowed with brilliance.

Mo Qingyan looked at everything in this imperial garden, and laughed secretly, only feeling sarcasm. And Su Ye beside him had a calm face from beginning to end, and he couldn't see a trace of waves.

"Ye, is there anything you like here?" It was really boring, and Mo Qingyan teased the man next to him again.

"Yes, and several." How could Su Ye not see her mind and deliberately tease her.

Mo Qingyan pouted and said sourly, "Oh? It seems that you are better than this peacock, if they put their minds on you, it is better to be favored by you than by a big bird. ”

"What do you mean, I'm just a little stronger than this bird, right?"

"I didn't say that, you understood it that way. Besides, this white peacock is really a rare thing, and so are you, there is only one you in this world, if you understand it this way, it is not wrong. ”

Su Ye was only tightened by her angry chest, this woman, he has nothing to do with her now, it can't be said to be heavy, it can't be said to be light, he deserves to be planted in her hands.

He could only sigh heavily, no longer entangled in the topic just now: "If these people knew that the queen was playing them like monkeys, I am afraid they would not be as active as they are now." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's just two people putting on a boring show, and you'll know their real purpose right away."

"What do they want?"

"We'll find out in a minute."

After Su Ye finished speaking, he drank a cup of himself, knowing that the woman was in a hurry, so he didn't tell her, who let her be angry with him just now.

"Ye, look."

Without waiting for the woman's strange voice, he went to look at her rather unexpectedly, only to see that she was looking at the big bird in the cage in amazement. He also looked with her, and saw that the peacock was moving its long tail, wanting to open the screen.

Everyone present held their breath, expectant and nervous.

Lei Min saw the peacock's reaction, and jumped harder than just now, but the peacock suddenly retracted its tail feathers and stopped looking at her.

Lei Min turned around and sat back in shame, everyone sighed, shook their heads and sighed, and a few daughters who had just performed even covered their mouths and snickered, just now at that moment they almost thought that she would be a phoenix girl, and their eyes were full of disdain.

"It's a pity, it's almost a little bit"

The queen sighed too, as if very disappointed.

"Isn't there still Yushan? She hasn't performed yet, so let her give it a try. ”

"Yes, how did the concubine forget about Youshan, she is the first talented woman in our Beiyin, if she can be favored by this peacock, the concubine must believe that she is a phoenix girl."

Hearing the queen's words, Mo Qingyan suddenly realized, it turned out that this was their real purpose, but I didn't expect these two people to really give up, and they would do this good show today. (To be continued......)
