Chapter 33: The Family Banquet Gets in the Limelight

This Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the emperor originally wanted to have a lively scene, so that the queen mother was in a better mood, who knew that it was disturbed by this incident, but the queen mother who provoked it left early.

"Shen Aiqing, you should also discipline the children in the family well."

Although Lord Shen was powerful in the court, and the emperor was not easy to say anything serious, his face was already dark.

In the end, no matter how powerful the minister was, he couldn't go beyond the emperor, so he had to answer in a low voice.

In his heart, he secretly hated his original wife for pampering her daughter too much, and now she has lost a lot of face to the Shen family.

"You're going too far."

Knowing that this was just Mu Qing designing to poke this matter out at the banquet, so that others could know about the ugly things that Shen Shuang'er had done.

Bai Lichen's complexion didn't change much, he only picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip slightly.

"She bullied me first."

Mu Qing's face was still the same as Fang Cai, but his tone was full of three points, and he seemed to have the charm of a little daughter, which made Bai Lichen stunned.

He felt more and more that there was a world of difference between this Mu Qing and the Mu Qing he had heard about before.

Because of the episode, the atmosphere of the banquet is not very good, and the family banquet in the palace, in addition to the royal people, there are also some ladies and ladies who can participate, but if you can show your face, in fact, there are only a few.

"Father, the courtiers heard that the third emperor's sister-in-law made a wonderful poem at the banquet held by the prince's brother before, and won the first place, and got the jade Ruyi sent by the prince's brother, the daughter was not present at the time, and went with the emperor's grandmother to worship the Buddha, I don't know if I am lucky enough to see the third emperor's sister-in-law to compose a poem for this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet today?"

Just when Mu Qing thought that this banquet in the palace would be spent so peacefully, he suddenly heard a young female voice coming from the banquet.

She looked over, and saw a little girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in brocade, sitting near the prince, looking at which princess in the palace it should be.

After thinking about it for a while, the only one who dared to speak like this in the palace must be the tenth princess Baili Yu, who is loved by the emperor.

Like a pearl like jade, this emperor regards this daughter as very important.

"Yu'er, don't mess around, the third emperor's sister-in-law is also a noble girl no matter what she says, how can she do these things at the family banquet?"

It was the prince on the side who reprimanded, he frowned slightly, but he really looked kind, but Baili Yu on the other side was even more unconvinced.

"I heard that the third emperor's sister-in-law has such talents, and I admire them very much, so I said this, chanting poetry is an elegant thing, and how a noble girl can't do it."

She looked at Mu Qing sitting next to Bailichen, with a bit of arrogance and dissatisfaction in her eyes, she was a little princess who was spoiled.

"Why is she hostile to me?"

Mu Qing couldn't figure it out, she remembered that at the last flower-viewing banquet, the Jade Princess was indeed not present, the identity of the original owner was not high, and she was not able to have a chance to contact the Jade Princess.

She hadn't come into contact with the princess since she crossed over.

So I had to open my lips lightly and ask Bailichen on the side in a low voice.

"She has always been at odds with me, and she should be involved by me."

Bai Lichen replied happily, although there were two words in his mouth, but between the words, there was no sense of guilt, only coughed slightly, and vividly interpreted the appearance of being sick.

Mu Qing and Bai Lichen just smiled and didn't say anything, but the princess on the other end became more and more noisy.

This is the main hall of the family banquet, there are always more than 100 people present, if you really let Mu Qing compose poems in public, it will be a bit excessive.

But the jade princess did not give up, and the emperor finally helplessly helped his daughter.

The bright yellow figure above held his forehead and sighed, his tone was a little helpless.

"Three Imperial Princesses, why don't you take advantage of today's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to compose a poem, so that I can come and taste the poems of the Three Imperial Concubines?"

said it was tasting, but it was also with her daughter's intention to humiliate herself.

Mu Qing was a little annoyed in her heart, but at this moment, everyone in the hall was looking at her, and she couldn't say what kind of dissatisfied expression she was.

still has a little smile on his face, making a gentle and graceful appearance, which makes people treat him a little differently.

If it were someone else, no matter what happened at this time, it would be a little cramped and uneasy.

Bai Lichen gently tapped his fingers on the low table as if watching a play, as if he was curious about how his concubine would deal with this difficulty.

"Writing poems in front of your lords, I'm afraid that some of the classes have made an axe, but since Her Royal Highness the princess and the emperor want to test the knowledge of the courtiers, the courtiers are not easy to refuse, why don't you paint a picture?"

Mu Qing didn't mean to be clever, but at this time, if he stole the verses of those great people of the former dynasty, it would be a bit too much.

She had always been called a 'vase' by the people in the capital before, and now she wants to let these people see how good she is.

It's also good to help the original owner get rid of this misleading name.

Although she doesn't care very much about her fame, she can't help these people act recklessly and smear her reputation.

"Painting?"

Princess Jade frowned, she hadn't heard Sister Shen say that this waste princess could paint.

"Since the three imperial sisters-in-law want to paint, then the third imperial sister-in-law should be answered."

She glanced at Mu Qing arrogantly, not taking her in the slightest.

After the emperor instructed the palace people to send the brush and ink for painting, the jade princess sat down.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, why should you embarrass the third imperial sister-in-law."

It was the fourth prince who said this, and he was still gnawing on chicken legs there as always, eating with a mouth full of oil.

glanced at Mu Qing, who was still painting seriously on the stage, and felt a little aggrieved for her.

"Hmph, fourth brother, don't you know, this Mu Qing is a well-known waste in the capital, he has nothing but his face, how can he have the ability to compose poetry? It's just to get the first place, presumably to steal other people's poems, relying on my third brother's reputation to show off his might. ”

The jade princess looked down on Mu Qing in her heart, and she spoke a little faster.

The fourth prince just said casually, he was not interested in these, he only liked food.

Mu Qing, who was composing poems in front of everyone, was a little nervous in her heart, but she didn't know how to.

In modern times, she was originally a graduate of the art department, and she can't stand on her own, but she still has some ability to make a painting of Miss Boudoir.

"Third brother, the third sister-in-law is really good at painting, I've never heard you talk about it."

"I don't know about it either."

Bai Lichen looked at the woman who leaned down slightly and drew carefully on rice paper, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked on his face, but Bai Lihong on the side felt very surprised.

His third brother has always been the most cold, even when he laughs, it is with a chill, but now he is ......

Just when everyone was whispering about Mu Qing's affairs, I saw Mu Qing on the wooden table put down the paintbrush in his hand and saluted the emperor above.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have already been painted, but the time is in a hurry, it seems a little clumsy, and I ask the emperor to atone for his sins."

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the scroll to be presented.

The concubine sat beside the emperor with the queen, and she wanted to give Mu Qing face, so she opened her mouth first.

"I don't know who passed it on, saying that this young lady of the Mu family is useless, the concubines look at it, the emperor, these people are afraid that they are not jealous of the appearance of the three princesses, although this painting is not as good as those famous masters, but it is already very outstanding."

Mu Qing is ingenious, painting a picture of a rabbit admiring the moon, the one who admires the moon in the painting is not a beautiful son, but a white rabbit, which is very interesting to look at.

When the people in the main hall saw this, they were also a little surprised.

Just like Chen Guifei said, although it is not as good as those Chinese painting saints, but it is not bad, as far as Miss Boudoir is concerned, the painting skills are superior, and there are new ideas, which is a masterpiece.

"Who said this Mu Qing is a 'vase'? I looked, this painting is really good, I also went to the flower viewing banquet that day, and she composed poems, which is really a must. ”

"Yes, this poem and painting are so good, how did it be said to be so unbearable in the first place?"

The people in the main hall were talking.

The emperor laughed and glanced at Mu Qing approvingly.

"Third child, you have found a good princess!"

Bai Lichen got up and bowed his head slightly.

"Qing'er has always been good, Erchen thanks his father for the marriage, if it weren't for his father, Erchen and Qing'er would not have such a fate."

At this moment, the emperor became more and more happy, and the atmosphere of the banquet that had just been disturbed seemed to be a lot more active.

"Since this painting is what Yu'er begged for, then I will make the decision for the three imperial concubines and give it to Yu'er, the third imperial concubine is willing."

"The courtiers are naturally willing, and I hope the princess will not dislike the courtiers' clumsy painting skills."

Mu Qing smiled at Baili Yu, who just coldly twisted his face and accepted the painting with unhappiness.

This farce at the banquet was temporarily over, and Mu Qing returned to Bai Lichen's side, but he was still a little unclear in his heart.

Since he and this jade princess have no grudges at all, why is the other party so targeted at him?

Fang Cai Muqing stood in the middle of the hall for a long time, his legs and feet were already a little sore, and he was still thinking about the Jade Princess, so he was distracted for a while, and his feet accidentally broke a little, but fortunately, Bai Lichen stretched out his hand and caught her body steadily.

"If you don't know, I think your legs and feet are sore because you're scared."

Although his mouth was unforgiving, Bai Lichen's hand remained silent, dragging Mu Qing's waist steadily.

The palace costume was already light and thin, and the temperature in the man's hand soon made Mu Qing's face burn in an instant.

Although she is not as restrained as ancient women, she also knows the truth that men and women do not kiss.

Since the two got married, they have not been overly intimate.

His face turned crimson for a while, and he sat up straight in an instant, but Bai Lichen over there couldn't help but take a look at it again.

This Mu Qing is really interesting.
