Zhou Huan came back to his senses after realizing it, and then reacted that the person who called him was the queen's mother, and she was her future mother-in-law.

"The courtiers are here." Thinking of this, Zhou Huan hurriedly went out to salute the position of the queen mother, and then quietly listened to the queen mother's next instructions.

"Miss Zhou, Niangniang asked you to move and sit over." The voice of the palace maid was neither loud nor small, and it reached the ears of the people around the scene.

Wang Xue, who was not far away, was the first to be dissatisfied, "Why is she?" ”

Zhou Ru still had a gentle smile on her face, "My sister is a lady who has not passed through the door under the king of Chu (diàn), so naturally it should be." ”

Chu Wang (diàn) under ......

Wang Xue's heart is a little more balanced, no matter how high that person's status is, but after all, he is a fool.

And Zhou Meng's heart (qíng) was not so good, she kept her head down and didn't speak for a long time. Just now, she kept staring at Qi Yu, but Qi Yu didn't look at her more during the whole process, but kept looking at the foodie Zhou Huan.

"Second sister, I'm greedy for two cups, go out and blow the wind." Zhou Mengmeng escaped from this place and stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would be uncontrollable and wanted to kill Zhou Huan.

Zhou Ru nodded, but Wang Xue muttered dissatisfiedly. "I really haven't seen the world, and this kind of osmanthus wine should be greedy."

Hearing this, Zhou Ru's face was also a little more ugly. She also drank two more glasses just now, thinking that the things in this palace were indeed different. However, Zhou Meng didn't pay attention at all, and just left here in despair.

On the high platform, Zhou Huan carefully knelt in front of the queen, and then bowed his head and said respectfully: "Courtiers Zhou Huan greets the queen, the queen is a thousand years old." ”

"Good boy, come and I'll take a look."

The queen's tone was relaxed and motioned for Zhou Huan to raise her head. Zhou Huan cautiously raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Qi Yu also sitting next to the empress (shēn).

It's just a gorgeous girl about fifteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a (shēn) aqua blue skirt is also very suitable. However, Jiang saw a bit of stability in Zhou Huan's eyes.

This kind of stability is not like what a boudoir woman who doesn't know the world should have.

"Zhou Huan?"

Zhou Huan nodded respectfully, and then the queen asked again, "I heard that you weren't in the capital before. ”

Zhou Huan continued to nod, it seems that this queen mother is going to check her son. Anyway, he also wants to marry Qi Yu, so Zhou Huan feels that he should cooperate.

Who knows, Qi Yu, who has not spoken on the side, frowned and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, don't scare Qingqing." ”

Zhou Huan secretly screamed in his heart, I heard that if his son was too protective of his daughter-in-law, (shēn) would be jealous.

Therefore, did Qi Yu let himself provoke the queen mother just now?

"(diàn), the courtiers have nothing to do, this is what the courtiers should do."

Qi Yu seemed to understand, "Okay, Queen Mother, you continue." ”

Zhou Huan,......

The queen watched the interaction between the two and realized that her son should also like Zhou Huan. Therefore, it was natural that he became close to Zhou Huan, "Okay, get up quickly, and sit down by the (shēn) of the main palace." ”

Qi Yu patted the position next to himself (shēn), Zhou Huan hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat down next to Qi Yu's (shēn).

"Qingqing, I know you don't like to be with those people, so I asked the queen mother to call you up, how about it, am I very powerful."

Zhou Huan looked at Qi Yu with a smile, and his good-looking eyes were as moving as the vast starry sky stained with thousands of stars.

"Thank you (diàn)."

The woman's voice is sweet and glutinous, and she grew up in Jiangnan with her adoptive father and adoptive mother since she was a child, so occasionally Zhou Huan's tone is so sweet and soft.

Qi Yu smiled and sandwiched a piece of her favorite pastry for Zhou Huan, for fear that Zhou Huan would be hungry.

The queen, who had not spoken and watched the two silently, nodded with a smile, it seemed that her son had finally found the girl he was willing to put in his heart.

She originally thought that after the time of those years, Qi Yu would not open his heart to anyone again. After all, over the years, Qi Yu has deliberately distanced himself from the emperor.

The empress watched the two of them with satisfaction for a while, and then waved her hand to the palace maid next to her (shēn), signaling to continue the next show.

In addition to drinking and eating, the rest of the banquet on these occasions is to enjoy and have fun. In 平 (rì), they are all looking at others, but today (rì) in front of the palace lady, it is natural that they can only come.

The young ladies of each family have their talents, so in order to be able to make a good impression in the minds of the young man, they are trying to show their best side.

Zhou Ru is a well-known talented woman in the capital, so after she went up, she played the piano and painted, so she naturally won the first prize.

Just when Zhou Huan felt that this part was about to pass, the queen suddenly said to Zhou Huan: "Zhou Huan, you also come and try?" ”

Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are only shallow in learning, and they still don't make a splash here." ”

The people in the audience also have an indifferent mentality, but there are also people who watch the show. After all, this eldest lady of the Zhou family is from the countryside, and now she is about to marry the king of Chu (diàn), there are always some people who want to see a good show.

Maybe it's from the Zhou family, or maybe it's under the king of Chu (diàn).

The queen didn't speak, and looked at Zhou Huan in a daze. Now that Zhou Huan and Qi Yu are tied together, if this woman doesn't have enough ability, how can she rest assured that she will hand over her son.

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Let's go down and prepare."

The queen and Qi Yu spoke at the same time, but before Qi Yu could explain anything to Zhou Huan, the queen had already decided for Zhou Huan.

"Yes, Queen." Zhou Huan was helpless, she was just an ordinary person, how could she go against the queen's thoughts.

……

Offstage, Wang Xue couldn't straighten up with a smile, "I think, I'm afraid this sister of yours is going to leave her face here." ”

Zhou Ru didn't nod or shake his head, since Zhou Huan returned to Zhou's house. Her behavior seems to be gentle, but in fact, she has been taking steps (bī) people. With such a person, Zhou Ru didn't think she would easily agree to the queen.

After all, if she really doesn't want to, she can make an excuse instead of shirking it like this.

"By the way, I can't wait for when the show you are talking about." Wang Xue's gaze fell on the middle of the stage.

Zhou Ru omitted the sadness on her face at this time, yes, didn't she still have a trick?

was able to make Zhou Meng obedient because she accidentally overheard the conversation between Lin and Zhou Meng in the mansion. The two people who seem to be silent in 平 (rì) do this kind of terrifying thing (qíng), but it is very easy.

"Don't worry, it's coming." Zhou Ru sighed, and his gaze slowly moved to the platform where Zhou Huan was.

The banquet of 今 (rì) is in the Cheng'en Palace in the palace, which is also the place where the empress and emperor listen to the opera in 平 (rì). Now both men and women are there, so the people in the palace are very clever to divide the whole courtyard into two, with the male guests sitting on one side and the female dependents sitting on the other.

The queen mother and Concubine Wen are sitting on a high platform, and in the middle of the three-party enclosure is the place where the young ladies of each family perform their talents.

Zhou Huan chose a red pleated skirt with long sleeves fluttering, but it really showed the heroic spirit on her (shēn).

After getting ready, Zhou Huan saluted the palace and Qi Yu on the high platform, ready to start.

Actually, it's not that she can't, but she's too good at it, so she doesn't want to. In her last life, Liu gave her a bunch of choices, but then she subtly guided her to choose dance.

At that time, Zhou Huan had just come to Zhou's house, and in order to be able to match the eldest lady of the Zhou family, she didn't sleep and practiced dancing hard. But when she had almost learned, she realized that the real woman of the family did not bother to learn this kind of low-level (shēn) thing at all.

For them, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the right way.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huan only felt funny.

With the melodious sound of the flute, Zhou Huan turned (shēn) and began his own rhythm. I have to say that Zhou Huan, who moves with the music, is Zhou Huan that Qi Yu has never seen.

Her every spin, every smile, and even every dance sleeve was absolutely perfect. Qi Yu has seen a lot of women dance, but Zhou Huan is the only one who can touch him.

In fact, it was not only Qi Yu who thought so, but most of the men present thought so. Ping (rì) is used to seeing those pretentious aristocratic ladies, Zhou Huan is so down-to-earth and willing to dance, but it is rare.

At the end of the dance, the fascinated god (qíng) on everyone's faces was enough to prove that Zhou Huan was indeed worthy of praise. But at this time, Wang Xue said out of place, "It's just something that can't be put on the table, why be so complacent." ”

Zhou Huan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.

Wang Xue dared to say this because Concubine Wen Guifei, who was sitting on the high platform, was a distant relative of their Wang family, and Empress Ping (rì) also took good care of her.

However, Zhou Huan just didn't want to lose his face in front of Wang Xue.

"What Miss Wang said is that I won't have much, and besides, today (rì) is just to introduce everyone to each other, and I already have a marriage contract, so it is inconvenient to come to you to steal the limelight. So, I just danced for my sweetheart. ”

There are two meanings in Zhou Huan's words, one is that I don't compare, but I don't bother to compare with you. Because as soon as she made a move, she didn't have their limelight. This point, judging from the dance just now, she does have the ability to say. Second, she Zhou Huan is the future princess of Chu, and her sweetheart is Qi Yu.

Actually, the meaning of this second point, Zhou Huan focused on telling the queen.
