The banquet continued.

The episode just now was tacitly forgotten by everyone, and the scene resumed to be lively and noisy again.

Everyone talked to each other, and the staggered was full of lively and harmonious.

In the middle of the feast, the young ladies got up to show off their talents in front of the queen.

Naturally, the queen would not stop it, and even simply let everyone perform in turn.

But the queen didn't force everyone to perform, if they really didn't know how to perform, they could not perform.

However, if you don't perform, the impression in the queen's heart will naturally be greatly reduced.

It will naturally be farther and farther away from the position of the crown princess.

Therefore, everyone got up and performed their talents.

The order of the performances starts at the end of the seats and goes up in order.

After everyone performed their talents, the next thing was Su Ruoqing's performance from the General's Mansion.

I saw her get up, and Lianbu moved lightly to the open space in the center of the banquet, and bowed to the queen.

After that, she waved her water sleeves and performed a graceful dance for the queen.

The posture is graceful, and the movements are smooth and skillful.

Gradually, everyone was a little stunned.

Mu Qingyue also watched it very seriously, and she also appreciated Su Ruoqing's dance.

While enjoying the dance, she glanced at Mu Hanyan, just in time to see that Mu Hanyan's face became ugly.

I didn't expect that Mu Hanyan would have a talent show better than her, right?

Although Mu Hanyan hasn't started performing yet, she is looking forward to it.

Want to see what kind of talent Mu Hanyan will perform?

After Su Ruoqing's dance ended, everyone was still immersed in her graceful dancing, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

Suddenly, a crisp burst of applause rang out, pulling everyone's thoughts back.

Everyone followed the prestige, and what they saw was several slender and handsome young men.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" Mu Wanling said excitedly, looking at Xiahou Lin and the others excitedly.

Mu Hanyan's face also showed excitement, but she was not as direct as Mu Wanling behaved, but she looked reserved.

The other women also looked at Xia Houlin and the others who came over.

In contrast, Mu Qingyue's expression was much calmer.

This banquet was originally held by the queen to find the crown princess.

She is already a mother, and no matter how she chooses, she can't be chosen.

Besides, she didn't have any other thoughts about Xia Houlin except for a little appreciation.

So, she continued to eat snacks leisurely and watch these people like a play.

"The son visits the queen mother." stepped forward, Xia Houlin clasped his fists with both hands and saluted the queen.

Xiahou Ming and others, who came together, also hurriedly saluted the queen.

"Erchen meets the queen."

"Feng Jin meets the queen mother at night."

A slightly familiar voice sounded, immediately attracting Mu Qingyue's attention.

She subconsciously raised her eyes to look, and then saw that Feng Jinye was also present.

It was only because he was blocked by Xia Houyi just now that she didn't see him.

As if sensing her gaze, Feng Jinye turned her head slightly to look at her.

Between the four eyes, Feng Jinye raised her slightly pale lips at her, and nodded lightly, as if he was greeting her.

Mu Qingyue also raised her lips at him, and also bowed her head lightly in response.

After a quick hello, both of them withdrew their gaze.

When she retracted her gaze, Mu Qingyue noticed that there was an unfamiliar face among these people.

She remembered that the emperor had four sons, but she had only seen Xiahou Lin, Xiahou Yi and Xiahou Ming.

Could it be that this unfamiliar face is Xia Hourui, the second prince born to Concubine Xi?

Now, it's really everyone!

The arrival of Xia Houlin and others made the banquet even more lively.

The queen smiled and nodded, and hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to prepare their seats.

Su Ruoqing, who had just finished the performance, had not had time to return to her seat, when Xia Houlin and others appeared.

At this time, she stood silently next to her, but she was still noticed by others.

"Miss Su's dance just now is really wonderful!" Xiahou Ming couldn't help but admire.

They had already arrived at the Imperial Garden, but they did not appear at the banquet, but silently watched from the sidelines.

Therefore, everyone's performance just now was watched by them.

But only Su Ruoqing's performance made them can't help but applaud.

"The four princes are too famous, and the courtiers are just offering ugliness." Su Ruoqing replied.

"How can it be an ugly offering?" Xia Houming is a straightforward and fast-talking person, and he doesn't speak around the corner, "Your performance is better than other people's performances!" ”

"Fourth prince, don't say that." Su Ruoqing hurriedly said, "The performances of the other ladies are very good, not to mention that there are still people who have not performed, maybe their performances are the best." ”

"Oh? Anyone else hasn't performed? Who else hasn't performed? Xiahou Ming said curiously, his eyes scanning the circle of everyone present.

Suddenly, he saw Mu Qingyue in the seat.

"Miss Mu Da is also there?" He immediately shifted his attention and greeted Mu Qingyue.

And his words also attracted everyone's attention again, and everyone turned their attention to Mu Qingyue.

Mu Qingyue sighed secretly, she just wanted to eat snacks quietly and watch these people sing.

But how do you always become the focus of other people's attention?

She doesn't want to be the center of attention at all!

Although she was dissatisfied, she still got up gracefully and greeted Xiahou Ming and the others: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, the princes and the Feng Gongzi." ”

"Miss Muda is polite." Xiahou Ming was the first to speak, waved his hand and said, "By the way, what about Zixuan?" Why don't you see Zixuan? ”

"The dog is at home." Mu Qingyue replied, secretly praying in her heart, hoping that Xiahou Ming would stop talking about it.

Not seeing the eyes of others looking at her was enough to kill her?

"Fourth Prince, do you know Qingyue?" The queen asked suddenly.

And her title to Mu Qingyue surprised everyone.

"Back to the queen mother, yesterday Erchen went out shopping with the crown prince, the third emperor brother and the Feng brother, and I was fortunate to meet Miss Muda." Xiahou Ming said respectfully.

"I see." The queen nodded knowingly, and her eyes fell on Mu Qingyue again.

This girl named Mu Qingyue is quite in line with her wishes, but unfortunately, Mu Qingyue is already a mother, and she is only a concubine.

To become a crown princess, it must be a concubine.

Therefore, Mu Qingyue is destined to not become the crown princess!

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

At this time, the eunuchs had already prepared the seats of Xiahou Lin and others.

"Let's all sit down and talk." The queen said.

After Xiahou Lin and the others were seated, the banquet continued.

And the interrupted performance, too, continues.

Next is the performance of the women of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although Mu Yunlan was fortunate enough to enter the palace for a banquet, she was not an official woman after all, and she was not qualified to be the crown princess.

She also understood it in her heart, so she took the initiative to say that she had no talent and resigned from acting.

The queen didn't care, so she let the next person perform.

The next person is Mu Wanling.

Now that all the princes are present, everyone must not only make a good impression on the queen, but more importantly, win the favor of the prince.

Therefore, the women who performed before regretted it.

And those who have not yet performed are nervous and happy.

Mu Wanling was like this at this time, both happy and nervous.

I saw her walk out of her seat, bow to the queen, and then perform a dance.

But with Su Ruoqing's Zhuyu in front, her dance is mediocre and has no highlights at all.

After the dance, Mu Wanling quietly glanced at Xia Houlin, but saw that Xia Houlin didn't look at her at all, and her face looked even more careless.

Mu Wanling was suddenly disappointed and went back to her seat in a huff.

The next one to appear is Mu Qingyue, and Mu Hanyan, the concubine, naturally has to stay until the end.

But Mu Hanyan stood up first, looked at the queen and said: "Queen Mother, the courtiers want to present a song for the Queen Mother, but the courtiers have not prepared the piano. ”

"Grandma Sun, bring a piano to the Mu girl."

"Yes, sissy."

Mama Sun received the order and hurriedly arranged for the palace maid to fetch the piano.

While waiting, the queen asked Mu Hanyan and said, "Mu girl, what kind of talents do you have?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am not proficient in it, but I only know a little bit about it." Mu Hanyan hung his head slightly and replied respectfully.

But there was a smug look on the corner of her lips that couldn't be concealed.

She thought that the queen would praise her, but the queen only answered lightly and said nothing.

Mu Hanyan was suddenly a little lost.

Fortunately, after a while, the palace maid took the piano and placed it on the piano table that had been prepared in the middle of the seat.

Mu Hanyan walked out of the seat, sat in front of the piano, and began to perform for everyone.

Mu Qingyue supported her head with one hand, bored watching Mu Hanyan's performance.

Although she didn't treat Mu Hanyan very much, she had to admit that Mu Hanyan's song was very beautiful.

The melody is melodious and tactful, like the tinkling of spring water, and the jingle bell is in the ears.

If you look at the others, they all look like they're enjoying themselves.

I have to say that Mu Hanyan is in the limelight again.

But what does all this have to do with her?

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyue pursed her lips and looked at the people present boredly.

But he didn't want to, and once again met Feng Jinye's gaze.

I saw that Feng Jinye also looked bored, looking away casually.

When their eyes met, both of them were stunned, and then they raised their lips and smiled in unison.

It seems that she is not the only one who thinks this banquet is boring, Mu Qingyue thought to herself.

If she could, she really wanted to communicate with this Feng Gongzi and count how boring this banquet was.

In her secret thoughts, Mu Hanyan's performance was over.

"Everyone's done?" The queen asked aloud.

"Back to the Queen." Grandma Sun, who was standing next to her, said, "Miss Mu hasn't performed yet. ”

"Oh? Qingyue hasn't performed yet? The queen said, setting her eyes on Mu Qingyue, "Qingyue, what are you going to perform?" ”

Mu Qingyue was stunned when she heard this, she also wants to perform? Is there any mistake?
