Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dance
As soon as he heard this, Meng Combrow's hanging heart relaxed, and he really escaped.
However, the medicine he left for Jing Ran last time should be fine after taking it, why hasn't he gotten better now?
She quietly asked Jing Qicheng, and he replied that Jing Ran didn't like palace banquets, so he should just find an excuse to shirk it.
Seeing that Jing Ran's position was empty, Meng Xiangrong who came at him was naturally very disappointed, and many nobles were the same.
Now there is only one unmarried prince left, Jing Ran, and the nobles naturally want to show their faces in front of him.
Although Jing Ran didn't come, the atmosphere was a little low, but soon everyone became lively.
Because it is a palace banquet and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone seems to be more casual, and the emperor also ordered everyone not to be too restrained.
Concubine Xian smiled and beckoned Meng to comb her eyebrows and sit beside her, saying that the candied osmanthus she gave to her last time was very appetizing, and she could eat a lot of it when she put some snacks on her own.
"If the mother likes it, that's the blessing of the son."
The emperor saw that his daughter-in-law was so filial, and he was also smiling, saying that he didn't know when he would have a good mouth, and Meng combed his eyebrows and gave him some tastes.
The prince said lightly on the side: "It's about that my younger brother and sister are closer to my mother, so it's a bit favoritism." ”
Meng combed his eyebrows and smiled embarrassedly: "Because it is the first time for Erchen to do it, I am afraid that what I will do is not in line with my father's wishes, so I can only give it to Concubine Xian Niangniang to taste it first, and Niangniang thinks that it can be entered, so Erchen dares to send it to my father." ”
Concubine Xian Niangniang joked that Meng combs her eyebrows so well, even the imperial chef in the palace can't compare to her, she is a bit too modest to say this.
The emperor feels that he is now like an old man in an ordinary family, and he also feels happy when he talks to his children and daughters-in-law.
The prince glanced at Wang Qifu, and Wang Qifu lowered her head slightly.
The moonlight is just right, and all the nobles are already a little eager to try, thinking about showing their heads in front of the emperor.
The queen nodded to the eunuch beside her, and someone went down to prepare.
Meng Combrow was not familiar with the nobles in the capital, so when everyone came out, they would ask Jing Qicheng whose girl this was.
The mooncakes in the palace were actually filled with five kernels, and she felt that she had no appetite and put them aside after taking a bite.
Seeing this, Jing Qicheng took it and took a bite.
The teeth marks of the two overlapped, and Meng Combrow, thinking that he hadn't noticed that he had eaten it, pulled his sleeve.
"The palace makes this kind of moon cake to pray for a good harvest during the autumn harvest, and if you can't eat it, it will be bad."
There are a lot of nuts and grains in this mooncake, and if it is wasted, it will make others complain.
It turns out that this is the case, but I didn't expect there to be so many rules for having a meal.
Although everyone was talking at the palace banquet, everyone was very quiet, especially those noble ladies, who paid attention everywhere, for fear that they would be laughed at if they accidentally crossed something.
Meng combed his eyebrows and looked at those noble girls singing or dancing, only to feel that all of them were better than him.
Although her medical skills can be said to be unparalleled in the world, there is really no research on these things.
She was full of relish, Jing Qicheng picked out a few side dishes and put them on her plate, today's palace banquet will be held late, if you don't eat, you will definitely be hungry.
Wang Qifu looked at Jing Qicheng, and then looked at the prince beside her, and she was somewhat envious of Meng Combing her eyebrows.
Although the prince does respect himself, he rarely becomes as close as an ordinary husband and wife.
He can only be polite to himself.
Meng Combrow was watching the song and dance, and suddenly felt that a gaze was staring at him.
She looked in that direction, and it turned out to be Shen Muran.
He was supposed to return to Longxi after returning to Beijing, but he wanted the emperor to write a book, hoping to stay in the capital for a while longer, and the emperor approved it.
When he saw Meng combing his eyebrows and looking at him, he immediately lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, pretending to be drinking.
It seems that Shen Moran still can't let go of himself in his heart.
She also deliberately avoided the silent gaze, there were many people here, and the slightest unnatural behavior would be noticed.
"Whose daughter is this, this dance is very innovative."
The woman placed a screen made of white silk on the ground, and many candles were lit behind it, and her shadow was reflected on the screen.
She danced her waist to the sound of silk and bamboo, which was very reverie.
Although the dancing is not the best, the mind is good.
However, there are also many people who feel that this is a bit unsuitable and too enchanting.
Women should still be humble and courteous.
Meng combs his eyebrows at those officials who claim to be righteous gentlemen and can't help but look at them twice, obviously they like to pretend to be a defender, but in fact, they don't know how many concubines they have at home.
After the dance, the dancing woman walked out from behind the screen, Meng combed her eyebrows and was stunned, isn't this Meng Xiangrong?
She was wearing a red gauze skirt and walked up to the emperor and bowed: "Meng Guogong's daughter Meng wants to see the emperor." ”
The emperor looked at her and then looked at Meng Comb, and praised, they are worthy of being sisters, and they are really good.
Meng Xiangrong made a lot of money today, and in order to have a chance to get ahead, he spent all his and Yue's personal money to change this dance dress sent from the Western Regions.
People rely on clothes, and she really looks beautiful today.
It's just that he is wearing a red dress, and the hair ornament on his head is also red, which will be a little cheesy.
Meng Xiangrong knelt in front of the emperor, and couldn't help but look at his sister proudly, how, even without her help, he could still come to the palace.
"Yes, reward."
The emperor rewarded her with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry with a wave of his hand, but Meng Xiangrong bowed again, and said with a smile: "Actually, the emperor doesn't know that my sister's dancing is more graceful than that of courtiers." ”
She made it clear that she was going to dig a pit for Meng to comb her eyebrows.
Yue's family has carefully raised Meng Xiangrong since she was a child, and invited her to ask the best dancer to teach her to dance, but Meng combed her eyebrows and could only watch from the side.
It's good that she can eat a full stomach, let alone learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Meng Xiangrong just knew that she didn't know anything, so he deliberately proposed this to the emperor.
Concubine Xian said on the side: "I see that the ladies have performed enough today, so it is better to end here." ”
"The mother laughed."
Mu Qingyan stood up, since Meng Xiangrong praised the princess so much, the princess's dancing posture must be even more amazing, it would be better to open everyone's eyes.
Everyone has seen Meng Xiangrong's dance, and they all have faint expectations for Meng Combing, if she refuses now, she is afraid that others will think that they take Qiao.
