Chapter 17: Ye Xinlan's Proposal
Since Gu Feiyan agreed to her last time, the Queen Mother's attitude towards her has become better and better. After all, as long as she can pester the emperor and let him not do his job, it will be worth it even if she is a little angry.
"Yes, the queen mother taught me." Ming Xuanze was busy responding, and said, "By the way, what were the queen mothers talking about just now?" Erchen was listening to it outside, but it was very lively. ”
The queen smiled and said, "It's just that Mrs. Liu said a joke." ”
Ming Xuanze nodded, and said to Mrs. Liu: "Then Mrs. may wish to come to the palace more in the future and talk to the Queen Mother more." ”
Mrs. Liu hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is very benevolent and filial, and there is no one in the world who is afraid of Your Majesty." ”
"Madam laughed, if it wasn't for the protection of the queen mother, I might have died a long time ago, so I naturally have to be anxious about the queen mother's great kindness."
The expression on his face was sincere, but Gu Feiyan could clearly see a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.
By the time Gu Feiyan wanted to concentrate and take a closer look, he had already returned to normal.
"Haha, this child, the mourning family is you" The Queen Mother was also very moved.
The mother and son of the heavenly family can be so harmonious, and everyone hurriedly got up to compliment, which is nothing more than His Majesty's filial piety and the Queen Mother's virtuousness.
After some praise, the queen mother smiled constantly, and the guests and hosts were happy for a while.
After a while, someone from the palace came over, saying that it was almost time, and asked the emperor and queen mother to get up and move to the imperial garden.
At that moment, the Queen Mother, with the support of the emperor, led everyone over.
After everyone sat down, after Ming Xuanze symbolically said two words, the banquet began.
The eunuch and the palace maid came in with a plate of wine and dinner, interspersed with it, and the musicians on the side played music, which was very lively.
Gu Feiyan and Ye Xinlan sat next to Ming Xuanze left and right, Gu Feiyan never gave up showing her status as a favorite concubine, either she bit her ears with Ming Xuanze, or she coquettishly asked Ming Ze to pick up vegetables for her.
For her all kinds of tricky and strange requests, Ming Xuanze was very good-natured and gave them to her one by one.
The officials next to him looked at this scene and sighed at the emperor's stupidity, but even more, they coveted Gu Feiyan's beauty.
There was only a middle-aged man sitting in a remote corner, looking at the smiling woman above, but his eyes were full of pity and incomprehension.
Someone bumped into him, "Brother Gu, now that Concubine Chen's mother is deeply loved by Her Majesty, presumably you have already been added to the rank of knight, don't forget your brother when the time comes." ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Gu, Gou Fugui, don't forget it." There was a hint of contempt and sarcasm in the smile.
Who doesn't know that Ye Wanli is in control of the court now, and even if his daughter is favored, she can only nest in the Ministry of Industry? Is compliment false, mockery is true.
Gu Xianglin poured a glass of wine into his mouth and ignored their words.
His attitude angered the people just now, and some people said disdainfully: "Cut, what's the spirit, it's still unknown how long your daughter can be favored, I really think you're the national ruler?" ”
Gu Xianglin glanced at him, and there was already a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
The man was a little frightened for a while, so he didn't speak, and a storm subsided.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a dance that she wants to dedicate to Your Majesty and cheer up Your Majesty." Ye Xinlan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly got up and said.
"Okay." Ming Xuanze readily agreed.
With his approval, Ye Guifei immediately couldn't wait to walk below, the music stopped, and then changed the tone again, it was the most popular plum blossom brand at the moment.
With the music, Ye Xinlan's waist twisted, and the moment she threw out the long sleeves in her sleeves, she looked at Ming Xuanze with affection.
Ye Xinlan's appearance is not as good as Gu Feiyan, but she is also a rare beauty, but her arrogance and arrogance have damaged her beauty, and now she has a bit of style.
She had already rehearsed this dance countless times, and every movement was carefully taught by a musician, so the expression on her face was extremely confident.
With a flick of her long sleeves, she danced quickly.
The red skirt swirled quickly, and her whole body was like a proud peacock, dancing beautifully.
The people below looked at this scene and praised one after another
Ye Xinlan kept beating and swirling, like a blooming flower, showing her beauty to the fullest.
As the piece came to an end, so did she
"Good!" Some people took the lead in applauding, and for a while, everyone exaggerated, whether it was sincere or for flattery.
Ye Xinlan listened to these compliments, endured excitement and walked in front of the emperor, Ying Ying bowed down, "Your Majesty, how did the concubine dance just now?" ”
"Okay, the concubine danced, and she was shocked." Ming Xuanze drank wine and praised it casually.
For a while, Ye Xinlan was even more excited.
She glanced at Gu Feiyan proudly and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has a proposal." ”
"I love the concubine, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The concubines heard that the harem sisters have already prepared songs and dances in order to celebrate today, so the concubines think that in order to improve the enthusiasm of the younger sisters, Your Majesty might as well prepare a lottery."
"Oh, why does the concubine think the color head is suitable." Ming Xuanze looked like a thoughtful Dao.
"Your Majesty, it's better to be the first today, Your Majesty can fulfill one of her wishes!" Ye Xinlan didn't even think about it, and said immediately.
She said this with a few confidences, without the slightest thought.
She believes that no one can compare to her in the dancing skills of these women in the palace, as for Gu Feiyan......
I'm afraid that she doesn't even have the qualifications to compete with herself, thinking like this, she couldn't control her smug look anymore when her eyes swept over Gu Feiyan.
Gu Feiyan looked at her, and her heart instantly became alert.
Ming Xuanze obviously also found out, and after glancing at Gu Feiyan, he said, "Okay, since that's the case, it's just like the concubine." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Xinlan stood up excitedly and returned to her seat.
After that, there were palace concubines who came forward to perform one after another, but they were all things that could not be good, and they did not make everyone much interested.
Ye Xinlan looked at it a little absent-mindedly, and finally waited until it was Gu Feiyan's turn to play, so she changed her malaise, looked at Gu Feiyan with a smile full of energy: "Sister, I don't know what you have prepared, don't lose your face as the number one lady in the capital!" ”
"Sister rest assured, my sister will naturally not let my sister down." Gu Feiyan leaned back, snuggled in Ming Xuanze's arms and raised his eyebrows.
Ye Xinlan was enraged with jealousy, clenched her fists tightly, and when she knew that the sharp and direct stabbing palm hurt, she reluctantly smiled: "Since this is the case, then the palace will wait and see." ”
