Chapter 400: You Can Reject Him
"Qi Yu Niangniang, these songs and dances are very beautiful. I think everyone will like it. β
Concubine De smiled slightly: "I have always heard that the three girls of the Hou Mansion are talented. These songs and dances are beautiful. But I watch it every year, and I'm tired of watching it. But I don't know if Princess Jing can open our eyes today. Let's also see the talent of Princess Jing? β
Xia Qingtong: ......
What is it? Come and eat. Do you still want to perform?
Ming Yue's face had already turned cold, and he stared at Concubine De's face with an unkind gaze.
Chu Zhaoyi saw it on the side and started a round: "Sister Concubine De, today is a palace banquet." What kind of performance you want to see, naturally there are people from the Orchestra who are ready. Princess Jing is also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, how can she have a reason to come out to perform? β
"Sister Zhaoyi's words are not right." Concubine De seemed to know that Chu Zhaoyi wanted to protect Mingyue and his wife, and smiled slightly: "Although Princess Jing is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. But it is precisely because of this that we should set an example in the world. The palace is full of these songs and dances every year. Looking at it, not to mention me, even His Majesty is tired of thinking about it. If Princess Jing is on stage, the performance will be fresh. It is also her filial piety to His Majesty. β
As she spoke, Concubine De turned to Emperor Qingren: "Your Majesty, did you say yes?" β
Concubine Li's eyebrows twisted, she wanted to speak, but she was afraid of the opposite. I couldn't help but go to see Emperor Qingren.
Emperor Qingren glanced at Concubine De coldly, and Concubine De shrunk her neck when she was seen, but she still forced herself to speak boldly.
"Your Majesty. Speaking of which, I really want to say a few more words. At present, only King Jing is married to several princes. I want Heng'er's daughter-in-law to come to the stage to show her hand. But Heng'er's marriage has not yet been decided, so I can only put my mind on Princess Jing. If His Majesty thinks it is inappropriate. I also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. β
"However, if my family Heng'er gets married in the future, I think his daughter-in-law will naturally be happy to perform for His Majesty and entertain her relatives with colorful clothes."
All the right and crooked reasons were taken by Concubine De. Chu Zhaoyi still wanted to speak, but he met the coldness in Emperor Qingren's eyes.
She had no choice but to keep silent. Concubine Xian watched Concubine De jump on the sidelines. At this time, she just needs to watch from the sidelines.
Xia Qingtong looked at Concubine De, really a little speechless. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy other people's songs and dances?
This kind of good day, why do you have to pick something?
Ming Yue held her hand under his sleeve, and his voice was so soft that only each other could hear it.
"Don't pay attention to it, no matter what your father will say, you will directly refuse."
Xia Qingtong, she wanted to refuse. But the other party is obviously coming for her. She wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that Emperor Qingren would not give her this opportunity.
Emperor Qingren knew that Xia Qingtong could identify antiques. also knows that she is very bold and has followed Ming Yue to many places. There were a lot of ideas.
For example, the lockdown and disaster relief, as well as the greenhouse that Mingyue tossed recently, he knew in his heart that it was also proposed by Xia Qingtong.
But the rest, he really didn't know.
Originally, on such an occasion, Concubine De raised this head, and he only had to oppose it. After all, Xia Qingtong is also the county lord he sealed.
However, thinking of Ming Yue's eyes just now, Emperor Qingren swept his gaze to Xia Qingtong's side.
"Since Concubine De said so, the sixth daughter-in-law, you can show one."
Xia Qingtong: ......
Damn, she thought that kind of parents let their children perform talents, and this kind of thing would only happen when they were children.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.
"Father." Ming Yue wanted to get up, but was held down by Xia Qingtong. She shook her head at him.
"I wonder what my father wants to see?"
"Feel free." As Emperor Qingren spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
"If you perform well, I will be rewarded."
Cut. That means, the performance is not good. To be punished?
Get. No matter what, she still has a cheating system.
"Daughter-in-law obeys." Xia Qingtong stood out generously: "However, can you allow your daughter-in-law to prepare?" β
"Exactly."
Ming Yue looked at Xia Qingtong worriedly, and wanted to refuse for her. Xia Qingtong gave him a look and told him not to worry.
Xia Qingtong is actually quite speechless, what can he perform in the performance? It is nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But these things, she believes that none of these noble girls present are better than her, better than her.
If you want to mine, you can only find another way.
As soon as the cold wind blew out of the main hall, Xia Qingtong suddenly had an idea.
I thought about the red cherry blossom and asked her to find a set of clothes for herself.
A palace maid came over and followed her under the pretext of showing her the way.
"Jing Princess, Niang Niang told me to come over and cooperate with Princess Jing. If the princess has any requirements, just mention them to the slave maid. β
This palace maid looked a little familiar, and Xia Qingtong felt that she had seen it in Concubine Li's palace.
"Are you Concubine Li's person?"
"Yes." The goddess of the palace was very respectful: "If the princess needs anything, please tell the slave maid." β
Xia Qingtong thought about it, and he really needed it.
"Find me a more flashy, stage-ready outfit, preferably with more layers. Layer upon layer. If there's that kind that looks like a feather skirt. It's even better. β
"Yes. Please wait a moment, the princess, and the slave will help the princess bring it. β
Xia Qingtong stroked his chin and watched the palace man leave. I had an idea in my mind. The palace people of this beautiful concubine are not ordinary.
When she was changing clothes, she turned off the live broadcast and called the system.
- System. I thinkβ
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the system.
[The talent that the host wants to perform requires two thousand points.] γ
Didn't I go, didn't I say five hundred before?
- Are you raising the price again?
[It's not.] It's that the host is too demanding. My 3,000 points can guarantee that no one can see it. γ
Xia Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief. All right. Two thousand is two thousand. The system is really black.
Soon, the palace maid found Xia Qingtong the clothes she wanted.
To her surprise, the dress was gorgeous and exquisite. The light gauze on top is embellished, layer after layer, which perfectly covers the body. It can also show a graceful posture.
And the layers of feathers underneath give people a sense of elegance and fairy after wearing it on the body.
"It's beautiful."
"Princess, let's see if this dress can be used. If not, I'm afraid I will have to wait a little longer. β
"No, that's it."
At this time, Xia Qingtong was too lazy to look for it. What's more, this dress is already very good-looking.
"By the way, do you comb your hair? Help me get my hair back up. β
She was not interested, and she went on stage with such a heavy crown.
β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later, Xia Qingtong reappeared in the main hall. It's also a coincidence. Just ended up with a song and dance.
It was cold outside, and she wrapped herself tightly in a heavy cloak. There is also a light veil on her head, which makes it impossible to see her face.
