Chapter 25 The Emperor's Birthday Banquet
Su Wan retracted her gaze and looked around aimlessly.
Li Ruoxi entered the banquet hall in a red dress, she was very eye-catching in a red suit, Su Wan glanced at her, and looked away.
Li Ruoxi walked towards the place where Su Wan was sitting without hesitation.
Su Wan blinked and looked at Li Ruoxi in front of her suspiciously.
Li Ruoxi smiled and saluted her and Chu Mohan; "The folk girls see the Nine Emperor Princes, the Nine Emperor Princesses."
Su Wan was stunned, there were so many people in Fanghua Square, not to mention saluting the two, there was no greeting.
Su Wan looked at Li Ruoxi suspiciously.
Li Ruoxi didn't care about Su Wan's puzzled gaze, pursed her lips and smiled, and said towards Su Wan; "Some time ago, I heard that the Nine Emperor Princesses were sick, and today I saw that the Nine Emperor Princesses looked pretty good."
In the two months that she went to Xia Liang, Xing'er told the public that she was sick, after all, there were many pairs of eyes staring at the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, in case those people knew, she left the capital without permission and ran to Xia Liang, which would affect Chu Mohan.
It was obvious that Li Ruoxi was here to inquire about the news, but what was her purpose.
Su Wan smiled; "My illness has been cured after recuperation, thank you Miss Li for your concern."
The expression on Li Ruoxi's face did not change at all, and she said with a smile; "That's good, I have a relationship with the Nine Emperor Princesses after all, for some reason, I always feel a sense of intimacy with the Nine Emperor Princesses, I know I'm a little cheeky."
Li Ruoxi's tone was sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying.
Although today is the second time they have met, Su Wan still has a good impression of this Miss Li.
"Although today is the second time I have met Miss Li, I also feel a sense of intimacy." Su Wanrou said with a smile.
The smile on Li Ruoxi's face was even better.
The two of them began to talk about each other.
The young lady who came to attend the emperor's birthday banquet, as well as the noble ladies and officials, all got together in twos and threes to chat.
Bai Ziyue, dressed in white and dressed very quietly, entered the banquet scene, and then Chu Moxuan and Su Luo entered the birthday banquet hall side by side.
Bai Ziyue walked towards his seat, and Chu Moxuan's voice came from behind him; "Miss Bai!"
Bai Ziyue stopped, turned around and saluted Chu Moxuan; "See the Three Princes."
"Although Miss Bai's dress today is quiet, it brings out your beauty, Miss Bai."
Bai Ziyue's eyes drooped slightly, and a touch of disgust crossed the depths of her eyes, which was fleeting, and Chu Moxuan didn't notice it.
Bai Ziyue said lightly; "Thank you for the compliment."
Su Wan beside Chu Moxuan bit her lower lip with her teeth, every time Chu Moxuan saw Bai Ziyue, she would leave her behind, how could she not see that Chu Moxuan liked Bai Ziyue, and Bai Ziyue not only didn't like Chu Moxuan, but also disgusted Chu Moxuan.
The authorities were fascinated by bystanders, and Chu Moxuan didn't notice it at all.
Because of Chu Moxuan's identity, Bai Ziyue had to talk to him, she didn't want to pay attention to Chu Moxuan at all, how could she not know Chu Moxuan's thoughts about her, and the person she loved in her heart was Chu Mojing.
Su Luo smiled lightly; "Today is the emperor's birthday, Miss Bai is dressed in white......"
Su Luo stopped talking, and looked at Chu Moxuan on the side.
Chu Moxuan looked to the side and did not speak.
Bai Ziyue knew that Su Luo wanted to marry Chu Moxuan.
Bai Ziyue easily resolved; "There are not a few young ladies in white today."
Chu Moxuan also knew that Su Luo regarded Bai Ziyue as an opponent, although the person he liked in his heart was Bai Ziyue, but for the position of the crown prince, he had to marry Su Luo as his wife.
Chu Moxuan smiled lightly; "There are indeed many young ladies who are wearing white clothes at today's birthday banquet, but Miss Bai, you are too quiet."
Seeing that Chu Moxuan actually helped him speak, Su Luo was overjoyed, and Wei Yang looked at Bai Ziyue with a proud chin.
Bai Ziyue pursed her lips.
Chu Moxuan then said; "Although Miss Bai is dressed a little quieter, it is difficult to hide Miss Bai's beauty."
Although Su Luo was very dissatisfied with Chu Moxuan in her heart, she knew that Chu Moxuan still gave her enough face.
Chu Moxuan's hand was behind his back and said slowly; "The birthday feast is about to begin."
After speaking, Chu Moxuan walked towards his seat.
Su Luo glared at Bai Ziyue and walked towards his seat.
This scene was sitting not far away from Su Wan, who had a panoramic view.
"Nine Emperor Princesses, I didn't expect you to attend the emperor's birthday, you don't know anything, what kind of show can you perform! Don't stay here and let people wait to see the joke! ”
A woman's laughter was heard in his ears.
When Su Wan heard this, she raised her eyes and saw a woman in yellow with an unremitting smile on her face, sneering.
Su Wan twisted her eyebrows, she didn't seem to know the woman in front of her, why was she hostile to her?
At this time, the birthday banquet was about to start, and the surrounding officials were also seated, and when they heard the words of the woman in yellow, many people withdrew their eyes from other places and cast a fiery gaze at her.
Su Wan was about to speak, but Li Ruoxi on the side took the first step; "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be Miss Hubu Shangshu, if I remember correctly, last year at the emperor's birthday banquet, Miss Huang, you danced a dance, and there seemed to be a little mistake when dancing, Miss Huang at that time, you seemed to ...... It seems to ......"
Li Ruoxi frowned, as if he was recalling something.
"Oh! I remembered that Miss Huang accidentally fell and fell into a dog eating. ”
Hearing Li Ruoxi's words, the people who attended the emperor's birthday banquet last year couldn't help themselves from laughing.
Huang Ziyi glared at Li Ruoxi angrily and stomped her feet angrily.
She would fall that day, it was all because she practiced too much, and when she performed again, her calf suddenly cramped, and she fell.
A sharp singing voice came from the high platform, "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen Mother has arrived!" With this, all the people stopped greeting and talking, walked to their seats, and stood respectfully.
Everyone shouted together: "See the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live Queen Mother, Queen Mother Thousand Years Old, Queen Mother Thousand Years Old, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen The neat sound echoed in Fanghua Square, indicating that today's birthday is about to begin.
"Everyone, please be courteous." The emperor, dressed in the dragon robe of the Nine Dragons Arch Red Sun, walked to Taichung and said to everyone with a smile.
Next to the emperor was the queen who wore a red gold and silver silk Luan Bird Chaofeng embroidered court dress, a jade carved phoenix belt tied around her waist, a tall and beautiful bun on her head, and a nine-tailed phoenix crown with a golden hairpin.
On the other side, supported by the palace people, wearing dark red embroidered phoenix blessing characters, wearing a gold hollow bat shou hosta, and the old lady with two velvet flowers is the Empress Dowager of Northern Chu.
The birthday banquet officially began, and Su Wan held her chin boringly.
After the opening song and dance, the queen sent birthday greetings to the emperor on behalf of the concubines, and then the princes and princesses gave their own gifts.
These gifts are the same, except for jewelry and jade, they are famous calligraphy and paintings, Su Wan's gift to the emperor is decent, although it is not the best, but it is not bad.
Chu Mohan sent the words written by himself, and the emperor was very happy to see the words written by Chu Mohan, and immediately ordered someone to hang the words written by Chu Mohan to his palace.
Everyone knows that although Chu Mohan, the ninth prince, is a fool, he is the emperor's favorite prince.
After the gifts of the princes and princesses are delivered, it is time for the ladies and sons of each prefecture to show their talents.
They all attach great importance to the talent show on this day every year, and they will carefully prepare their talents in order to show themselves well in front of everyone.
Su Luo is already a little eager to try, this time she will defeat Bai Ziyue and let everyone know that she is the number one talented woman in the capital.
Su Luo looked at Bai Ziyue with a provocative gaze.
Bai Ziyue didn't even look at her, turned her head to look away,
Su Luo, who was ignored, secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly.
began to have Miss Childe one after another, performing on stage, at first Su Wan felt that these Miss Childe's talents were not very good, but after watching too much, she felt a little boring,
Su Wan took a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, when will this birthday banquet end, she sat with a sore back.
Su Wan looked sideways at Chu Mohan beside him, he was looking at it with relish.
At this time, Huang Ziyi, who was dressed in imperial clothes, walked on the stage, she saluted respectfully to the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother, and began her performance.
Huang Ziyi is still performing dance like last year, she has been practicing dance since she was a child, and she will definitely get back the face she lost last year.
Su Wan watched Huang Ziyi's dance performance and touched her chin with interest.
This Miss Huang knew at a glance that she had some dancing skills, Su Wan didn't understand why this Miss Huang was targeting herself, she didn't remember offending this Miss Huang.
Su Wan was watching Huang Ziyi's performance, and when she felt someone approaching, she raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows, what did she come to her for?
"Sister, when you come on stage, what talent do you want to perform?" Su Luo asked.
Su Wan said lightly; "I didn't plan to do a talent show on stage."
Su Luo looked at her with some surprise; "Every year at the emperor's birthday banquet, the princes and ladies of each province will perform on stage to celebrate the emperor's birthday."
Su Luo's words are good, how could she not know what the purpose of these young ladies who performed on stage was.
Su Wan said lazily; "Sister, you also know, sister, I am not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, besides, performing on stage is voluntary, even if you don't perform on stage, the emperor will not be angry."
Su Luo's voice was soft; "Why don't you perform with my sister?"
Su Wan thought to herself, where did Su Luo invite her to perform together, he wanted to highlight her with her.
"Performing with your sister, my sister is afraid that it will affect my sister."
Su Luo said indifferently; "It's okay, my sister just wants to perform on stage with you."
Su Wan pursed her lips, pretending to be a little embarrassed.
The original owner didn't know how to dance, and the original owner was not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all, except for playing and eating.
But she is not the original owner, as the eldest lady of Su's enterprise, she has been loved by her mother since she was a child. Forced to practice dancing.
