Chapter 114: Entertainment at the Banquet

At the end of the song and dance, everyone praised it.

Even the emperor and queen nodded again and again, expressing their satisfaction with the song and dance.

According to the practice of the palace banquet every year, the song and dance are followed by the entertainment program arranged at the banquet.

At the palace banquet every year, the concubine will take the lead, and take advantage of the joy of the festival to arrange for each prince and young lady to show their talents.

Therefore, many young ladies will make full preparations before coming to the palace banquet, so as not to lose face in front of the emperor and the minister of civil and military affairs.

Of course, there are also many conceited and talented people who will prepare carefully in order to become famous at the palace banquet.

In the eyes of aristocratic circles, it is a matter of pride to be able to win a name for yourself at the palace banquet invited by the saint.

Of course, Xue Qing had participated in many palace banquets and was used to seeing this kind of competition with each other.

Sometimes, some good concubines will come up with a very good lottery for the young ladies to compete, and the scene at that time is called a lively.

It's just that Xue Qing is not interested in such a thing, so she has not participated in such an activity once.

Over time, an unwritten rule has formed in the harem, that is, no matter which concubine the saint designates to take the lead, no one will have trouble with him and arrange for Xue Qing to participate in the performance.

In addition, Xue Qing is recognized as a sick and delicate girl in the aristocratic circle, and her brain is sick, so every year at the palace banquet, even if she doesn't participate, no one will trouble her.

This year's palace banquet is special, she dressed up as a little eunuch and stood beside the emperor and queen, and she could directly watch those sons and ladies fighting back and forth from the front.

As long as he thought of this, Xue Qing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

The position of the emperor and queen is the best place to watch the performance, and Xue Qing is standing, so this perspective is even better.

Xue Qing was secretly proud, and unconsciously looked down at the hall, which happened to be opposite to Xue Yu's gaze observing her.

Xue Yu's eyes widened as she looked at her sister in a eunuch suit, unable to believe that she had also come here.

King Rui had already told him that there would be movement from the four kings today, so let him prepare early.

He didn't expect that King Rui and the crown prince would be so powerful, to be able to know the motives of the four kings in advance, and to understand the plans of the four kings.

When he first heard the news, Xue Yu thought that King Rui had gotten the news from King Chang's bandits.

But after thinking about it, King Chang's people are all lowest-level soldiers, and it is impossible for them to know such a secret thing.

So where is the source of the Wise King?

Xue Yu looked at Xue Qing, who was a little cramped because he was caught, and a thought flashed through his heart.

Perhaps, this girl also knows what is going to happen today. The tearful goodbye she staged in front of her house was to secretly hide it today and wait for the opportunity to move.

Xue Yu looked around the hall and didn't let go of every corner.

He didn't find Zhang Luo, the person who treated his sister like an eyeball was not in the palace.

So where is Zhang Luo?

Zhang Luo and his sister had already calculated, and they had never left the capital for half a step.

Xue Yu picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The sister they desperately want to protect has unknowingly held up an umbrella for them.

The weak sister used her thin shoulders to shoulder the burden that she couldn't see clearly.

The wine was mellow, but there was a hint of bitterness in Xue Yu's mouth.

"Qing'er, you ...... There's really nothing my brother can do with you. ”

With tears and wine in her stomach, Xue Yu strengthened her belief even more.

Although he can't do anything, he still has to fight with the saint and the prince.

The talent show of the young ladies of each family began, Xue Qing watched it very energetically, and when she met someone she liked, she would applaud and nod her head again and again.

Because he was a little engaged, Xue Qing forgot about the emperor and queen beside him, so that when the emperor and queen both looked at Xue Qing, who was dancing a little, Xue Qing had no time to withdraw his excited hands.

"Uh......" Xue Qing smiled awkwardly, secretly took his arm back, and stood up properly.

The emperor was amused by Xue Qing's small appearance, and the saint said to Xue Qing with a smile

"Hehe, if you like it, you can keep watching."

Xue Qing saluted the emperor embarrassedly and lowered his head and said

"Qing'er is rude!"

"It's okay, you have to attend this palace banquet several times a year, why are you still so frizzy?"

The saint's sudden question made Xue Qing stunned, she has always been like this, didn't the saint already know?

"Qing'er's temperament is really different from her mother's, very lively and cute."

The queen mother's smile was gentle, which alleviated Xue Qing's embarrassment in a timely manner.

Xue Qing smiled at the empress, and the gratitude in his eyes was seen in the eyes of the saint.

"Don't praise her, she made my imperial brother so angry that she almost didn't kill her alive."

The queen smiled, of course she remembered the scene at that time. She also remembered the resentful gaze of the Holy Lord when he left.

"Uncle Emperor, you know the whole story of that incident."

Xue Qing lowered his head, thinking in his heart that the Holy Lord would not want to settle accounts after the autumn!

"Forget it, don't look like you're facing a great enemy. Back then, he was too domineering, and I didn't favor him, but in the end it made him lose face. ”

The saint sighed, and Xue Qing immediately understood, although the saint was reasonable and gave justice to Xue Qing, he was a little sorry for King Chang.

"Uncle Emperor, Qing'er has embarrassed you."

"Forget it! King Chang's temper, it's rare that someone doesn't buy his account. You're going to be hated by him for the rest of your life. ”

Xue Qing nodded when he heard this, King Chang not only hated her, but also sent people to hunt her down all the way. I almost killed her!

"Ahem!"

A few coughs from the saint made Xue Qing retract his thoughts, and looking at the emperor who was holding his body strongly, Xue Qing suddenly felt sorry for him.

He really paid attention to those younger brothers, and if they kept to themselves, I am afraid that the Holy Lord would arrange a way out for them before he died.

"Uncle Emperor, take care."

"Feel free to watch your performance!"

The saint said, leaning on the table and looking at the concubine who presided over the performance.

That concubine Xue Qing knows, and it seems to be the biological mother of the second prince, Concubine Yu.

The saint was far away, and did not give the prince's biological mother a high position, but only gave a concubine Yu, nor did he give the second prince a high position, and he did not even give the king a title.

"She resents that I didn't give the second child the title of king, and she also resents that I didn't give her a superior status."

"The hard work of the saint, she doesn't understand!"

The queen secretly wept, this Concubine Yu was a confused person, and she regarded the protection of the saint as a harsh treatment.

In the final analysis, it's not because the heart is bigger, and I want more. If the second prince had been crowned king earlier, he would have caused trouble long ago.

Xue Qing was noncommittal to the words of the saint, it was a family matter of the saint, and she had no right to intervene.

Everyone in the world knows that the saint favors the crown prince and King Rui more, and the second prince is naturally a little uncomfortable between the two favored brothers.

But if you think about it, it makes sense. The crown prince has the strong support of the queen, and the assistance of King Rui, his own brother, and his power must be much stronger than that of the second prince.

If the saint is favored together with the second prince, then it will inevitably make the second prince ambitious.

The two princes fought with the crown prince and the king of Rui, and the results were obvious.
