Chapter 70: What a Big Deal
The eunuchs began to arrange fruit and snacks on the table, followed by dishes and wine.
The musicians and dancers in the palace came out to perform, and Jiang Ziyan knew that this was a prelude, and the real show had not yet been Cairo.
Sure enough, the dancers and musicians in the palace retreated, and immediately a foreign princess came forward to ask for a performance.
Then there are the ladies in each house, everyone has done their homework, just to show their style at this state banquet, in case the prince or prince of the house falls in love and achieves a good marriage.
Jiang Qiaochu was the last to come out to perform. As soon as Jiang Qiaochu came on the field, he attracted everyone's attention, and Tuoba Cheng, the second prince of Northern Goryeo, even had two eyeballs glued to Jiang Qiaochu's body.
After the dance, the entire auditorium burst into applause, and Jiang Yicheng burst into tears, knowing that this daughter was his pride.
Guo Shoufu sat at the top of the second row, and also clapped his hands and looked at Jiang Qiaochu.
Once upon a time, her mother, her second daughter, was also so excellent, so dazzling, and in the end, she didn't secretly communicate with others, she got pregnant first and then got married, and became someone's concubine.
This incident made him unable to hold his head up in front of Ye Lao'er for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Guo Shoufu put down his hands and looked at Jiang Yicheng with resentful eyes.
Only Guo Shoufu knows in his heart that he has snubbed his second daughter all these years, just to give Ye Lao'er an explanation, and it is strange that his own daughter does not care.
In the past few years, above the court, Jiang Yicheng has been accused at every turn, which has made Jiang Yicheng follow the rules and behave like a man, do his best to be an errand, and do not do the behavior of being a traitor and a corrupt official.
If this granddaughter can be a good person, you might as well recognize this granddaughter.
Guo Shoufu dreamed like this, and in the next second, the dream was shattered.
Everyone's applause stopped, Jiang Qiaochu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Emperor Qingyuan was now immersed in the joy of all countries coming to the court, and when he saw Jiang Qiaochu stepping forward to speak, he said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Jiang Qiaochu said politely: "Emperor Xie,"
The emperor knows Jiang Qiaochu, and Jiang Qiaochu is out of the limelight at the palace banquet every year, and it is difficult to know him or not.
Emperor Qingyuan felt that this woman was very scheming and was not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family.
If such a woman is allowed to come to heaven, it will not be messed up. If his son doesn't have long eyes to accept this girl, he will not be at peace for the rest of his life.
Although this woman is euphemistic, she is brilliant and can only be watched, and must not be provoked.
It is clear that there is an existence that has brought disaster to the country and the people.
Jiang Qiaochu said eloquently: "Back to the emperor, the sister of the people's daughter has the appearance of heaven and man, but she has lived in Huguo Temple for many years, she has never participated in such a feast, and her talent can not be displayed. After saying that, he actually knelt down.
Guo Shoufu naturally knew his granddaughter, and when he saw Jiang Qiaochu using his means, he intended to make Jiang Ziyan ugly, and he couldn't wait to slap this worry-free thing to death with one palm. Sure enough, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. Closing his eyes at the moment, an old face made the donkey ashamed.
"Okay, which woman is your sister, come up quickly, let everyone feast their eyes." The emperor pretended to be happy, and the courtiers competed to perform, and being the emperor was just providing a platform, so why not?
Emperor Qingyuan has lived for so many years, if he can't see through Jiang Qiaochu's thoughts now, then he is not Emperor Qingyuan.
Isn't it just that I want my eldest sister to make a fool of herself in front of so many people.
If Jiang Ziyan refuses to stand up at this time, he will look petty and unable to get on the stage.
So he stood up, walked to the left side of Jiang Qiaochu, bowed to the emperor and said, "The people's daughter is Jiang Ziyan." ”
A few days ago, the emperor just issued an order to Jiang Ziyan to let Jiang Ziyan perform acting etiquette at home, for fear that this daughter-in-law, who grew up in Huguo Temple, would lose their royal people.
Now that Jiang Qiaochu is in front of so many foreign guests, he nominated Jiang Ziyan to perform on stage, if he is not allowed, he is obviously afraid that Jiang Ziyan's skills are not as good as others and he will not be able to get it on the stage.
If it is agreed, who doesn't know that Jiang Ziyan has lived in Huguo Temple for so many years, and there will be talents to show there.
It's really embarrassing to die Emperor Qingyuan.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at Guo Shoufu quietly, and saw Guo Shoufu sitting there with his eyes closed, as if an old monk had settled down.
Jiang Yicheng, who was sitting in the distance, was full of spring breeze and triumphant.
Emperor Qingyuan withdrew his eyes.
Emperor Qingyuan is the most protective of his shortcomings, Jiang Ziyan is his future daughter-in-law, if his daughter-in-law loses face in front of so many foreign guests, hum! Hum! Jiang Yicheng, Jiang Qiaochu is a good daughter born to you, and you are good-looking.
Emperor Qingyuan looked at Jiang Ziyan, and then looked at Empress Guo beside him.
Empress Guo has been by Emperor Qingyuan's side for so many years, so she naturally knows what it means with a glance, and said at the moment: "I don't know what talent Yan'er has prepared?" It was like the tone of the mother-in-law to the daughter-in-law.
Jiang Ziyan was nothing, Jiang Qiaochu's heart was sour. That's his own aunt, who doesn't care about himself, why as soon as Jiang Ziyan, a slut, shows up, his aunt greets him with a smile on her face.
The three ladies of the Ye Mansion all raised their throats in their hearts, who didn't know that their niece had been weak and sick since she was a child, if it weren't for the abbot master of Huguo Temple who received careful care from the temple, she would have been dead a long time ago.
Now in front of the saint and so many foreign guests, Jiang Qiaochu proposed to let Jiang Ziyan perform his talents, making it clear that he wanted Jiang Ziyan to make a fool of himself.
If your niece can't come to the stage, Jiang Qiaochu! You wait!
Jiang Qiaochu knelt there complacently, but he didn't know that the emperor and the people of the Ye Mansion had already looked at her unpleasantly.
There is also a virtuous concubine Niangniang who is worried in her heart.
In the palace all these years, she has not fought or robbed, and Queen Guo is also a broad-minded person, never fighting with the concubines in the palace, and being close to herself like sisters, which does not mean that the virtuous concubines do not know the deception between those harem women.
Now it is clear that Jiang Qiaochu wants Jiang Ziyan to look good, but he can't help at all.
Concubine Xian Niangniang looked up at her son, and saw the king of Chu sitting there with a mask, and she couldn't see what his expression was.
If Jiang Ziyan loses royal face in front of so many people, if she can't say it, she will have to choose another princess, and what if her son is crippled, it is not something that any woman can deserve.
The county lord of Xiangyue held Princess Bihua's hand tightly, Jiang Ziyan had excellent medical skills, I didn't hear that she knew what kind of talent she had, but she couldn't help herself.
Princess Bihua patted the back of the hand of the county lord of Xiangyue, the matter has come to this point, and she can only wait and see what happens.
The regent of Northern Liao stretched his neck and waited for Jiang Ziyan to play.
At this time, if his entourage saw it, they would definitely dislike him. Is this still our regent?
Tuoba Bu of Northern Goryeo seemed calm, but he didn't expect Jiang Ziyan to have superhuman talents, and he was looking forward to it.
Under the expectation and attention of so many people, Jiang Ziyan said: "Everyone performed a dance just now, it is better for Ziyan to play a set of swordsmanship, but Ziyan's costume is really not easy to dance the sword now, I wonder if the queen can appreciate Ziyan's set of casual clothes?" ”
Before Jiang Ziyan's words fell, the King of Chu spoke: "Don't bother the queen, we came with casual clothes." ”
After speaking, the king of Chu looked at his biological mother, Concubine Xian.
The son Mo Ruomu, the virtuous concubine Niangniang, hurriedly ordered the palace maid behind her to go to the king of Chu.
didn't hear what the king of Chu said, the palace maid took out a package from the back of the wheelchair that the king of Chu was sitting in and sent it to the virtuous concubine.
Concubine Xian took the package and said with a smile: "I don't know if Hao'er has such a careful side." ”
After speaking, he looked at Queen Guo and said, "Sister, it's better to allow Yan'er to go back and change into a set of clothes, this dress is indeed not suitable for sword dancing." ”
Empress Guo did not answer directly, but looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this?" ”
This is the royal helplessness.
Concubine Xian Niangniang could have directly asked Jiang Ziyan to change her clothes, but there is the emperor and the queen here, and she is a concubine, so she can't cross the queen and the emperor to make her own decisions.
If you ask the emperor directly for instructions and cross the queen, this is also disrespectful to the queen, and you can only ask the queen first.
In the same way, the queen can't go past the emperor and directly arrange for Jiang Ziyan to change clothes.
"The queen is in charge." The emperor spoke, and the queen could make a decision.
The queen looked at Concubine Xian and said, "Sister arrange it." ”
Jiang Ziyan stood there, muttering in his heart, what a big deal, push around, it's not troublesome.
Seeing that the emperor and queen had agreed, Concubine Xian Niangniang instructed the palace maid behind her to take Jiang Ziyan to change her clothes.
