Chapter 43: A Successful Conclusion

The streamer on the hall is wanton, the fine white jade is spread on the ground, the building carved on the beam is slowly like life, the head of the dragon is raised, and the power is in all directions.

Emperor Chengwu sat on the dragon chair with a ruddy color, wearing a crown with silver tassels on his head, a bright yellow robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and the feet of the robe were embroidered with gold wire. Fine lines at the corners of the eyes, deep bags under the eyes, and overindulgence at first glance.

The queen sat on the right, smiling, dignified and generous, and had the demeanor of the lord of the first house.

Sitting on the left is a woman wearing a hibiscus-colored cloud fei makeup and a plum blossom makeup tattoo on her forehead.

In the center of the hall, the life of singing and dancing, the exquisite dancing posture of the dancing girl, and the beautiful figure add a lot of fun to this song.

At the end of the dance, Emperor Chengwu took the lead in applauding, and then the hall applauded.

The people in the hall congratulated Emperor Chengwu one after another, which was nothing more than to celebrate Emperor Chengwu's happiness with the dragon son.

For the old man, Emperor Chengwu was naturally overjoyed. Emperor Chengwu is fifty and two this year, and he is more than half a hundred years old, and because of his excessive indulgence in his early years, his body is getting weaker and weaker now, but because he took the pill, his essence was stimulated one by one.

But Xin Yan knew that this was just an illusion on his surface, how could a tree that had been hollowed out in the interior be compared to the state he was in when he was young.

However, Xin Yan's attention seemed to be paying attention to the scenery at this banquet, but in fact, he couldn't take his eyes off Song Ming for a long time.

I had long guessed Song Ming's identity, but when I really saw him, I could feel the gap between them.

Song Ming is wearing a formal suit today, wearing a purple python robe, with a crown in his hair, exposing his beautiful side face in front of him.

Song Ming had never been so serious in front of her before, he had a warm appearance, and today, his expression had indeed never seen a trace of a smile, his lips were pursed into a line, and he seemed to have something on his mind.

Xin Yan felt that Song Ming had never looked here since he entered the hall, and there was no lack of bitterness in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xin Yan shook his head self-deprecatingly, didn't you say that it didn't matter since then? Why do you still have such feelings?

Xin Yan, Xin Yan, his name is Song Ming, but he is not the Song Ming you love, the man you love is already dead......

Try to control yourself and not let yourself concentrate on Song Ming anymore.

As soon as Xin Yan withdrew his thoughts, Song Ming glanced in the direction of Xin Yan as if he was inadvertently looking at him, and when he saw the figure of his heart, the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a touch of tenderness.

The queen smiled and said: "At today's banquet, Ling'er also prepared a dance, ready to be dedicated to Your Majesty, congratulating Your Majesty on his happiness with the dragon son. ”

Emperor Chengwu said: "Miss Duan has a heart, since this is the case, then Miss Duan will be invited." ”

At the beginning, the song was melodious and tactful, light and man, Duan Ling also danced with Man, and then the song was surging, Duan Ling's footsteps became faster and faster, light and elegant, that is, smart and elegant.

Like a peacock with her head held high, she is showing her beauty and pride to the world. Her dancing posture, coupled with her beautiful face, is even more inseparable from her eyes.

After the dance, the audience was silent, followed by deafening applause and applause.

Emperor Chengwu nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Duan's dancing is really wonderful, I can see it today." Aiqing, this daughter of yours is really good. ”

Prime Minister Duan Tianqi said modestly: "The emperor has praised it falsely, the posture of the little girl Pu Liu is difficult to be elegant, and I hope the emperor will not dislike it." ”

"Aiqing, modesty is a good thing, but this modesty also has to be divided into occasions, if it is difficult for Miss Duan to be elegant, isn't it that most of the women in this world are mediocre, you say this, but you will be resented."

After speaking, he laughed, Emperor Chengwu looked really good.

Except for the small episode in the Imperial Garden at the beginning, the banquet went smoothly after that, and nothing superfluous happened.

In the second half of the feast, the queen asked the lady to go back first.

Xin Yan sat in the carriage and took a nap, Wei Xiaochun helped her massage, and said with pity in her mouth: "The girl got up early this morning, and she drank some wine at the banquet, no wonder she has a headache, so you don't have to be greedy for a cup." ”

Xin Yan was helpless, because of the earlier incident in the Imperial Garden, she was abandoned by those noble ladies and ladies, and because of her identity, there was no young lady to talk to her, she was idle, so she would drink a few more glasses.

This is to blame for the fact that this banquet was so boring, and all night long the courtiers touted it, leaving no effort unturned.

The ladies have been secretly competing, desperately selling their daughters, or inquiring about gossip in other mansions, and the most heard is the incident that happened in the Imperial Garden.

Xin Yan is really calloused in her ears, so she can only let her left ear go in and out of her right ear, the only good thing is that the fruit wine is not bad, she can drink it, otherwise it will be really tormenting.

"By the way, girl, if Fu Xi wanted to come to Beijing with him at that time, why didn't you want to?" Wei Xiaochun asked.

"Since there is something for her to do, what she will do in the future, it is best not to show that she knows me, so that it can save some trouble, besides, the girl I said, this time I came to do serious things, is it possible that you still think that the girl is here to enjoy the mountains and rivers."

Wei Xiaochun pouted, although she heard the girl say, but the girl was in the house, either watering the flowers, or sleeping, comfortable and tight, where is there someone who wants to do that big thing, don't blame her for forgetting.

After all, it's hard to guess what the girl is thinking.

"But, girl, that Shao Yunwan today is really hateful, how can you say that Miss Shao San is also her sister, she doesn't care about sisterhood at all, if the girl doesn't help Miss Shao San, the one who falls into the water must be that Miss Shao San."

Xin Yan sneered: "In the back house, there is an estrangement between the concubines and concubines, with different identities, and they are destined to encounter different things, this Shao Yunwan treats Shao Yunqing so much, just because of the identity of the concubine." She slandered Shao Yunqing with words, just to make her unable to integrate into the circle of those young ladies, jealousy, which would make people ugly. ”

In the backyards of these wealthy families, there are many dirty things, I heard that Shao Yunqing lost his mother since he was a child, and now Shao Mansion is actually headed by an aunt, and there are many cats in it.

It's just that she has already mentioned Shao Yunqing, and the next thing is up to her, if she is still cowardly, her fate will definitely be even more miserable than Shao Yunwan's fate today......

In the hall of Shao's Mansion, Shao Yunqing and Shao Yunwan knelt in the hall together, with Master Shao sitting in front of them, and Aunt Liu staying beside her, for the sake of Master Shao.

"I was still the queen mother looking for me something, because you did such a shameful thing, didn't I tell you, don't be willful in everything, you are good, even my words are the wind in your ears, just listen to it? It seems that I pamper you too much on weekdays. Make you so lawless. ”

After speaking, he threw out the teacup that had just been served, and shattered it not far from Shao Yunwan.

Shao Yunwan received Aunt Liu's eyes, shed tears, and choked up: "Daddy's lesson is that it was his daughter who disgraced Shaofu, but my daughter didn't mean it, I don't know why things turned out like this, I was unintentional, because my feet slipped, I accidentally bumped into the third sister, but I don't know why, the third sister and the Naxin girl knocked Sister Cheng into the water, and the third sister also insisted that I did it on purpose, but Daddy, my daughter really didn't mean it, how could my daughter deliberately want to harm the third sister, we are all young ladies of Shaofu." , I also loved my third sister in the past, Daddy, don't you know your daughter best, is your daughter such a vicious person. ”

Master Shao heard his beloved daughter crying, in the past, he was really doting on this daughter, although he loved the house and Wu, but he also really loved it, Wan'er was a little willful, but in his heart, he was indeed not the kind of person who would harm his sister.

Aunt Liu also wiped her tears on the side and said: "Master, it is all the concubines who are not strict in discipline, Wan'er and the third miss had an unpleasant quarrel because of the matter of the concubine before, Wan'er was careless this time, Xu is the third miss because of the unhappiness, so I thought that Wan'er was deliberate, and in the imperial garden, I insisted that it was Wan'er's doing, which made the queen mother angry, and all this was Wan'er's fault." ”

Shao Yunqing didn't expect that as soon as she got home, Shao Yunwan would turn things upside down on me, obviously she deliberately hurt her, but now, she became the culprit, she said angrily: "Daddy, daddy, I didn't, it was the second sister who deliberately pushed me, Miss Xin said it, the second sister did it on purpose, and you admitted it, second sister, I didn't ...... I didn't say it was you, Daddy, Daddy, you believe me, yes, it's the second sister. ”

Shao Yunqing was anxious to explain, but she couldn't explain it completely, she had been suppressed for a long time, and she didn't dare to argue about anything.

And when Taohong returned home, she was stopped by Aunt Liu. Now there is only Shao Yunqing in the hall, and it is not that they can say whatever they want.

Aunt Liu cried: "Third Miss, Third Miss, how can you say that, Wan'er has always loved your sister very much, although she doesn't say it, she will think of you if she has anything good in her heart, how can you always wronged her so much." I know that you have always looked down on the identity of Wan'er's concubine, but she is also your sister, if you want to blame, blame my aunt......"

Master Shao slapped the table suddenly: "Okay, what kind of concubine is not a concubine, Shao Yunqing, Wan'er is your sister, but because of the gap with her, you talked about her like this, causing her to lose face in front of everyone, making our Shao Mansion a joke, how did you become like this now." ”

Another reason why Master Shao favored Aunt Liu and Shao Yunwan was that he was also born as a concubine, and at that time he suffered a lot under the harsh treatment of his mother-in-law, so he also had a different preference for Shao Yunwan, a concubine, and he couldn't look at this concubine everywhere.

Shao Yunqing was dumbfounded, she didn't expect her father to listen to the two of them like this, and she didn't listen to her defense at all: "Daddy, Daddy, I don't have ...... Daddy"

"Okay, from today onwards, you will go to the ancestral hall to punish kneeling and grounding, and then come out after copying the female ring a hundred times."

After speaking, he immediately brushed his sleeves away, without giving Shao Yunqing a chance to speak......
