Chapter 8 The Divorce of the Great Hall
As night falls, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is about to begin. Nangong Nianxi was led to his place. The main hall was brightly lit, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and the officials were all greeting each other perfunctorily.
At this time, I heard the loud shouts outside the hall: "Duan Wangye, Ping Wangye, Lan Wangye to ......" The officials in the hall greeted them for a while, and then they sat down. The ladies of the ladies watched the most outstanding princes of the Haoyue Dynasty appear, all of them were shy, charming and moving, and they all hoped that which prince would take a look at them more.
Because the officials and the female dependents were seated separately, Nangong Nianxi looked up, and Ming Haoduan could be seen on the opposite side, and the divine doctor Qin Yin was seen not far away. The two nodded slightly, even if they had said hello.
Outside the main hall, he remembered loudly again: "The ninth prince, the tenth prince are ......"
This time it was not as enthusiastic as the previous princes when they arrived. Everyone knows that the ninth prince is stupid, and the tenth prince is idle and is an idle prince who has no official position. He said hello very vaguely and walked away.
Ming Haoxuan inspected the hall and found Nangong Nianxi in the crowd, walked over happily, faced Nangong Nianxi and said, "Sister, I want to sit with you." ”
Nangong Nianxi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "This fool hasn't forgotten himself, it's nothing to sit down with himself, but now this occasion is not suitable." "Nangong remembered the past, and only after saying bad things did he persuade this uncle to leave.
After Ming Haoxuan sat down, he smirked at her. Nangong Nianxi was really speechless. Nangong Jiaojiao saw it and said sarcastically: "Eldest sister, is this above the palace or is it better to check it, a foolish prince under the public also seduces, it doesn't matter if you don't have a face yourself, don't bother us!" ”
Nangong Nianxi looked at her, the fifth sister with big breasts and no brains, and she didn't know how to restrain herself when she went out. So he said sternly: "Pay attention to your own words, you dare to teach your sister when you go out, although you are a concubine, but where is the cultivation that you should have as a lady." ”
When Nangong Jiaojiao heard it, although she didn't speak loudly, she could also hear the young ladies and ladies around her. makes people think that she can teach her sister a lesson outside, but at home, maybe she dares to beat and scold her sister? She can't let others make a bad impression of her. Those who know the current affairs immediately shut up and don't speak.
Nangong Nianxi saw that she was not opening her mouth to think, this straw bag was still a little self-aware, and it was not so stupid as to be incorrigible. didn't say anything, bowed his head and tasted tea.
At this time, I heard the attendant in the hall shouting: "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and Concubine Mei has arrived ......."
In the main hall, civil and military officials and family members left their seats and knelt on the ground to salute. Nangong Nianxi also hurriedly knelt on the ground, and secretly raised his head to look at the three people who appeared.
Nangong Nianxi thought that the emperor was an old man, but he didn't expect that it was indeed a middle-aged man in his forties. He wears a purple and gold crown and a bright yellow dragon robe. The corners of his mouth are slightly curved, and he sits on the dragon chair in the center with a smile.
The woman on the left hand side is dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, and she looks noble and gorgeous all over her body, and her domineering and graceful appearance are vividly displayed. At first glance, it is the current queen Ning Yuxin.
The gorgeous woman on the right hand side is the emperor's favored Concubine Mei. I saw that she had a golden step on her head, several golden hairpins inserted obliquely, and a hollow section was inlaid with pearls. The willow leaves have curved eyebrows, the skin is as white as snow, the figure is slender, and a pair of phoenix eyes are charming.
"Zhongqing's family is flat~" With a wave of his big sleeves, Ming Haotian shouted and sat down.
The dinner officially began, and everyone present was restrained and not noisy. After the opening dance, it was the daughters of the officials of each family who performed their talents.
The first to appear was Princess Ziling, who played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", she had superb piano skills and performed that piece to the fullest.
The emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood tonight, and praised his baby princess again and again. Ming Ziling, who had been rewarded, glanced at Nangong Nianxi, and returned to his seat triumphantly.
Next, the other ladies also showed their housekeeping skills and were rewarded. Ji Yuexian danced for a while, and saw that she had a slender waist, fluttering like a fairy, dancing beautifully, and her skills were superb The last moment she fell was like a fairy descending to earth. Won the applause in the hall.
Liu Qianqian also lived up to expectations, painted a prosperous "Rich Peony Picture", she painted exquisitely, the peony blossoms when the prosperity is like a brocade, the gorgeous and splendid scene is vividly expressed.
The applause in the hall continued, and the performance entered*. Whoever performs now will be compared, and it has become a wait-and-see attitude that you look at me and I look at you.
Liu Qianqian thought about how to make Nangong Nianxi make a fool of herself in public? Now is your chance.
So he blessed himself and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion remembered the former sister and was very talented, and I don't know what kind of performance my sister brought us today." Why don't you let Sister Nianxi perform one for us? ”
When the emperor heard this, he looked up at Nangong Nianxi, he had seen her a few times before, she was always with her head down and timid, but today she raised her head and sat quietly below and drank tea leisurely. Is it really as rumored that it can't be changed?
"Nangong Nianxi, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know what talent you have brought? The emperor asked.
Nangong Nianxi heard the emperor's roll call, and said in his heart: "Liu Qianqian, do you want me to make a fool of myself?" I just won't let you get your wish. ”
Thinking of this, he got up and came to the middle of the stage in a hurry, blessed his body and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the sisters are performing too well, the courtiers play and sing by themselves, sing a song!" ”
"Okay~, someone come up with a good piano, Nangong Nianxi, you can start."
Nangong Nianxi is very glad that in modern times, in addition to specializing in medicine, he also likes literature and classical music. The best thing is to play a good piano.
The maid went down after setting up the piano. Nangong Nianxi sat down elegantly and tuned the strings. Then he opened his mouth and sang Miss Teresa Teng's "I Wish People Were Long".
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky.
I don't know what year the heavenly palace is.
……
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
The hall was silent at this time, and her singing voice was tactful and soft, only feeling that the sky was wide and comfortable, which made people open-minded. People are still reminiscing about the artistic conception in the lyrics, the yearning for the bright moon and the attachment to the world.
"Good, good, good......" The emperor said three good in a row. It happened to be the scene of today's palace banquet, and I was very happy. The hall also remembered thunderous applause at this time.
Liu Qianqian hated Nangong Nianxi very much, and let her out of the limelight again. Seeing Ming Haoduan's eyes staring at Nangong Nianxi without blinking, his hands clenched into fists, as if he could strangle her now.
Qin Yin was completely attracted to her today, the rumors are not credible, both poetry and talent can be compared to the first talented woman Liu Qianqian.
"Miss Nangong is really versatile, and her voice is like heaven." The emperor was overjoyed.
"Yes, Nian Xi is about to become our daughter-in-law, today's performance is so good, does the emperor want to give more rewards!" The queen, who was sitting next to the emperor, echoed and did not mention the divorce at all.
"Yes, Nangong Nian used to be happy today, what reward do you want? Despite the opening. ”
Nangong Nianxi swallowed his saliva, and said with courage: "Your Majesty, the courtiers don't want other rewards, the courtiers want ...... Divorce. ”
