At this time, the performance of the ladies continued.

Performing at the royal banquet is an opportunity for the concubines to compete for favor, but it is an opportunity for the daughters-in-law of the royal family to compare, and for the ministers, it is definitely an opportunity to cling to the princes and nobles with their little daughters to show their talents.

Among the many princes, the most favored are the princes and grandchildren.

Since Yin Wan'er and Tianwei performed, the lady Xiumen gave up her talent in singing and dancing, and most of them performed calligraphy, painting and musical instruments.

The first to perform was Sun Mengyan, the daughter of Sun Qian, the head of the Hanlin Academy, who was dressed in a coupling color robe, with a delicate face, and a pipa in front of her. She blessed the emperor and Concubine Chen, and then sat on the stool brought by the eunuch, plucking the strings with her slender fingers, and then the crisp sound of the pipa overflowed from her hand, but there was a bit of a strange half-covered taste.

After Sun Mengyan's performance, the emperor rewarded her with a jade ruyi and casually praised her. Miss Sun thanked her and returned to her seat with shame.

Then walked to the main hall is Zhu Mingzhu, the youngest daughter of Zhu Liangshu, the general of Zhenguo, Miss Zhu was born like a flower, petite and lovely. Her talent is painting, she painted a pair of phoenix sycamores, handed the pen to the eunuch, she looked at Xia Junyi, and said with a smile: "Yiwang Palace, little girl, are you lucky enough to mention words on this painting?"

Although she only said the word, most of the people present understood that this was a subtle way to show her love, and if Xia Junyi got up to inscribe, she also had a heart for Miss Zhu.

As soon as Zhu Mingzhu's words came out, Yin Wan'er, who was relieved just because Tianwei was going to marry King Ning, looked cold again.

Xia Junyi frowned, and glanced at Tianwei unconsciously. I was a little disappointed to see that the other party did not react.

Xia Ningmo also subconsciously glanced at Tianwei when he saw this scene, and seeing that there was nothing unusual in her face, he reminded with a smile: "This Miss Zhu seems to be interesting to the Third Emperor Brother!" It seems that the royal you and I will have another happy event after that. ”

Tianwei was stunned for a moment, then let out a faint "oh", then lowered her head and ate the food on the table without a mouthful, and stopped talking.

Looking at Tianwei's appearance, Xia Ningmo suddenly felt that he was bored, no matter what, he had already identified the person, why bother to test whether she still cared about others. When did he become so unconfident? Hasn't he always had the confidence to drive the person in her heart away and replace him?

Then both of them fell silent, and neither of them spoke.

At the right time. Xia Junyi's voice sounded. He looked at Tianwei and said gently, "Can Weiwei inscribe this painting for this king?" ”

Xia Junyi didn't say this to embarrass Tianwei, he was a little uncomfortable whispering to Tianwei and Xia Ningmo, and he was jealous for a while. According to Xia Xuanyu, the poem on his birthday was made by Tianwei, so he should think so. Tianwei should be written well. That's why I say so.

Tianwei looked up in astonishment. glanced at Xia Junyi, and then at Zhu Mingzhu, whose face turned pale, and suddenly felt that she was very pitiful. She bit her lip. His eyes fell on Xia Junyi again, and said solemnly.

The little woman felt that His Royal Highness King Ning should apologize to Miss Zhu first. Miss Zhu is not a thick-skinned woman like me, she can muster up the courage to say these things in the main hall I don't know what kind of determination, if His Royal Highness King Yi is unwilling, you can politely refuse her, but you can't push this matter on me. ”

Tianwei spoke to Xia Junyi in a detached tone, purely to avoid suspicion.

And this alienated tone made Xia Junyi's heart cold, glanced at Tianwei, his eyes fell on Zhu Mingzhu, and then stood up and walked to her, and wrote a poem worthy of the painting on the painting freely.

Although this poem does not have a bit of ambiguity, everyone knows that this Miss Zhu is already destined to be the side concubine of King Yi's Mansion.

Zhu Mingzhu's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that all this was true, and when she saw the words on the painting as handsome as that person, she was sure that this thing was true, and she suddenly became happy.

Tianwei's body stiffened, but it was only a moment before she returned to a faint appearance. Although she was a little depressed in her heart, she understood that it was none of her business, and the only one who had the right to eat was the princess of King Yi's brother.

Xia Ningmo hugged Tianwei's body into her arms again, caressing her back as if comforting, but her eyes looked at Xia Junyi evilly, and with this smile in her eyes, she said lazily: "I wish the third emperor brother another beautiful favor, congratulations!" ”

Xia Junyi didn't hear much about what Xia Ningmo said, only saw the hand caressing Tianwei's back and the smug smile in his eyes, and suddenly he hated him a little more.

"Good, good!" When the emperor saw this scene, he was perhaps really happy and said hello three times in a row, and then waved his hand and issued another decree for marriage.

It was still Father-in-law Qian who read the holy decree.

Xia Junyi opened his mouth, but seeing Tianwei's indifferent face, he closed his eyes, and knelt on the ground with Zhu Mingzhu to receive the thanks.

After this little episode, the banquet continued, except for Yin Wan'er's face was not very good-looking, everything was no different.

With Zhu Mingzhu's successful experience, many ladies are also bold, and they use various ways to convey their love to the wishful husband in their hearts.

After the performances of several ladies, Tianwei couldn't help but wonder, even Xia Yanrui's rogue and Xia Xuanyu's little Zhengtai who didn't grow up were admired by people, how could this person next to her in terms of appearance and power be a piece of fragrant bait! Why is it that no one cares?

Puzzled in her heart, she couldn't help but glance Xia Ningmo up and down with incredible eyes.

Xia Ningmo was inexplicably seen, and then his evil eyebrows were raised, and he was indescribably bewitching and handsome: "Baby, why are you looking at me like this?" Are you fascinated by the handsome appearance of this king? ”

Tianwei glanced at him, picked her chin at the lady performing in the center of the hall, and lowered her voice and said with disdain: "I'm embarrassed to say that I am handsome, Xia Xuanyu's kind of little Zhengtai is liked by others, look at you!" Gee~! ”

Xia Ningmo was embarrassed, and he always felt that he was always despised by his daughter-in-law, but the facts were there, and he couldn't explain it, so he was a little speechless. Can he say that five years ago he was the most popular prince? Can he say that it is because of this that the emperor has repeatedly given him marriage?

Five years ago, a minister hit him with the idea of a princess and wanted to marry his daughter to King Ning's mansion, and the emperor forcibly gave him three marriages for some purpose, and he accepted those wishes with a smile.

But a month later, Zhao Xianglin, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, was dismissed for corruption, and the whole family was assigned to the side plug, so his marriage with the daughter of the imperial history was over.

After more than a month, Zhou Jinwu, the general of the auxiliary state, was beheaded because of his collaboration with the enemy, and his family affair with the general's mansion of the auxiliary state was also stopped.

Anguo Houfu is quite smart, and when he saw that the two families had an accident, he took the initiative to cancel the marriage on the grounds that the little girl was suffering from a vicious disease.

And since then, no one has cared about the position of Princess Ning, and those ladies have hid far away when they see him. (To be continued......)
