Chapter 452: Magic
I found that the hat was a little strangely shaped, and there was nothing strange about it. After that, he had the courage to show it to the audience inside and out.
At this time, Shen Xiaoxia picked up the rabbit's ears, put the rabbit into the top hat, and borrowed a high round silk handkerchief on the mouth of the top hat to cover it, and then took a few steps back.
The right hand was raised high and snapped its fingers.
"Alright, you can lift the silk handkerchief."
When Gao Yuanyuan heard this, he held the hat with one hand, lifted the silk handkerchief with the other hand, and looked into the hat.
"Huh?"
Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's exclamation, everyone in the audience didn't know why, and straightened their necks to see what was going on.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Gao Yuanyuan stood in the center of the stage, took out the small animal in the hat, and held it to his chest so that everyone could see it clearly.
This is the rabbit that has just been put in front of everyone's eyes, and it is obviously a tanuki.
The tanuki was probably infected by Gao Yuanyuan's nervousness, staring at its hind legs and meowing, obviously alive like the rabbit that squatted on the table and ate carrots just now.
"Ahh......hh
There was another burst of exclamations.
Gao Yuanyuan's task was completed, until she stepped off the stage, the whole person was still in a state of shock, and all she thought about was how Xiao Xia turned the live rabbit in the hat in her hand into a live cat silently?
"This performance is really interesting, I heard that Miss Shen Er and Miss Gao are sisters, and they cooperate tacitly."
Princess Qingxiang was indeed shocked at the beginning, but how could she admit that she was compared to a lowly pariah, if she agreed with Shen Xiaoxia's performance, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that she was not as knowledgeable as a slut?
Everyone understands what Princess Qingxiang means, isn't it obvious to dismantle the stage?
And standing on the lift, Shen Xiaoxia always maintained this faint smile, giving people an indescribable feeling of confidence.
"Your Majesty, can you give the plate of apples on your table to the courtiers, and the courtiers will return the favor."
The emperor was also interested, and he didn't even notice the unhappiness of Princess Qingxiang sitting on the side.
"Oh? And the return gift? ”
This is the first time he knows that the person who asks for the reward also promises to give a gift in return, although the emperor who is the emperor of the ninety-five said that there is no treasure in the world that he has not seen, but he still has expectations in his heart.
Seeing that the emperor nodded, Guo Gonggong, the chief administrator of the Inner Palace, personally brought down the apples on the golden plate, and then served the table on the performance stage.
"There is Father-in-law."
"Don't dare."
When everyone focused on Shen Xiaoxia's body again, she took out a silk handkerchief from the magical sleeve, pinched the silk handkerchief with both hands and flipped it left and right to show everyone, it was just a golden silk handkerchief made of light yarn, embroidered with a pair of flying colorful butterflies, this kind of silk handkerchief can be found all over the streets of the capital.
Xiao Xia gently covered the silk handkerchief on the apples on the golden plate, so many pairs of eyes watched, she was careful not to touch the plate of apples rewarded by the emperor.
After taking a few steps back, as he had done last time when he had turned a snow-white rabbit into a tanuki, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.
The whole palace banquet was very quiet, and at this time, they all stared at this plate of apples, and the plate of apples never moved, even the silk handkerchief covered on it did not move at all.
"Your Majesty, I have to trouble the father-in-law just now to bring this plate back to you, this is my return gift to you."
"Oh?"
Father-in-law Gao was also full of curiosity, and when he saw the emperor nodding, he immediately stepped onto the stage, glanced at the plate of apples that were still covered by the silk handkerchief, and felt that there was no difference from when he brought it over just now.
But when he held it up, it was so hung up, and his body instinctively swayed. The people here were already wide-eyed and curious, and their hearts were even more curious, especially when they saw that Grandpa Gao's eyes had widened in surprise.
"Bring it up and let me take a look?"
The emperor leaned over to the table, obviously full of interest.
Gao Gonggong is a person who practices martial arts, and his martial arts are not weak, he was not prepared just now, but now that he is prepared, he naturally and easily put the unknown thing on the dragon case at the fastest speed.
The emperor couldn't wait to open it to see what had become of the apple inside, just as he raised his hand......
"Slow, Your Majesty, you are the Ninety-Five, in case there is a dangerous thing down there, wouldn't you fall for the tricks of the gangsters?"
Tang Cheng stood up quite a bit, seeing that Yishan Bofu was in the limelight, the unhappiness in his heart could be imagined, so he immediately stood up to stir up trouble at this time.
The people of Yishan Bofu and Mrs. He frowned, this is saying in public that they have a heart of disobedience, this is a false accusation? But at this time, it is not good to stand up and refute, otherwise wouldn't it be the most thief?
When the emperor heard this, he slowly put down the hand that had been raised, straightened his sitting posture, and his face sank.
Since ancient times, all emperors have been the most afraid of death, otherwise they would not have let everyone shout long live themselves.
The atmosphere of excitement in the original tension was almost destroyed by Prime Minister Tang, and everyone's mood changed from the expectation just now to the suspicion.
Shen Xiaoxia, who was standing on the stage, chuckled, waved his sleeves again, only to hear a whoosh, a firework flew straight into the sky, exploded in the sky, and a large group of colorful fireworks illuminated the entire night sky, extremely beautiful, but time was too short.
"Your Majesty, surprises are only interesting if you open them yourself, isn't it?"
It was probably the cluster of fireworks just now that illuminated people's hearts, and the emperor's face sitting on Longyi Mountain was a little better.
"The Emperor's ......"
Prime Minister Tang wanted to say something again, but was frightened back by the emperor's cold gaze, and could only glare at Shen Xiaoxia with pity.
Everyone's attention was once again focused on the emperor's hands, only to see the emperor gently remove the silk handkerchief, and the first thing that leaked out was the golden plate containing the apple.
"Did it turn into a pear?"
"Humph! Probably a peach, which is about the same shape as an apple. ”
"Reasonable."
As long as this golden plate is not filled with apples, Princess Qingxiang feels that her face has been beaten, and she can't say that her father is also Shen Xiaoxia's trust.
Everyone's minds were just a matter of time, and the silk handkerchief on the gold plate was finally revealed.
"Oh......"
"Wow......"
"Woo......"
This time, everyone not only opened their eyes wide, but even rubbed their own eyes, asking themselves if they were mistaken?
"Am I mistaken?"
"Is this official dazzled?"
"Fake!"
Is it true or not, at this time, the high father-in-law standing beside the emperor felt the most, and when he picked it up, he guessed this possibility, but he was not shocked by what he saw with his own eyes.
The emperor stretched out his finger and pointed at it, and Gonggong Gao hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the top apple, turned it upside down, looked at it carefully, and called an old eunuch who was still not too old to come forward.
