Chapter 35: Talent Show
A smile flashed in Mu Li's eyes: "Did the emperor agree to give the reward?" ”
Nangong Zhentian stared straight at Mu Li, as if he was thinking about what her purpose was.
"Third Miss, my father asked you to perform, this is a holy order, you dare to ask for a reward!" Nangong Ling stood up at this time and said angrily.
Mu Li squinted at Nangong Ling, and then his eyes sank: "Princess, the emperor didn't say anything, what are you anxious about?" Or is it the reward, or is it the princess's opinion? ”
As soon as Mu Li's words came out, Nangong Zhentian, who was sitting on a high seat, turned dark.
As an emperor, the most taboo thing is that his rights are threatened.
Nangong Zhentian didn't speak, but glanced at Nangong Ling with a sharp gaze.
When Nangong Ling looked at Nangong Zhentian's eyes, he trembled with fright, and then quickly knelt down and trembled on the ground.
"Father, the son doesn't mean that." Nangong Ling was very panicked at this time.
She just wanted Mu Li to make a fool of herself, but she didn't think about it, and she lost herself.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Although Nangong Zhentian didn't say anything about Nangong Ling, he was already very dissatisfied with Nangong Ling.
"The courtiers haven't thought of it for the time being, can the emperor give me a compliment first?" Mu Li knew that if he brought it up at this time, he was afraid that Nangong Zhentian would not only not agree, but would treat himself for a crime of disrespect.
Mu Li's blatant request for a gift from Nangong Zhentian made everyone present drop their jaws in shock.
Mu Nanfeng was even more frightened by Mu Li's actions and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly got up and knelt down in the center of the palace.
"The emperor atoned for her sins, and the little girl was sent to Lingshan to reflect when she was young, and Weichen neglected to teach, which made her so bold." After Mu Nanfeng finished speaking, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Mu Li, and anger rose in his eyes.
Mu Li naturally ignored Mu Nanfeng's warning in his eyes, but looked straight at Nangong Zhentian, waiting for his reply.
There is also a reason why Mu Li is so bold. Before coming to the palace, Mu Li had already understood Nangong Zhentian's temperament.
Therefore, it is also accurate that Nangong Zhentian will not really be angry.
Nangong Zhentian thought for a moment, and just when everyone thought that Mu Li would be punished, he made a decision that surprised everyone.
"Okay, as long as you can satisfy me, then I'll do it."
"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Mu Li curtsied, then left his seat and slowly walked to the center of the palace.
Mu Nanfeng, who was still kneeling on the ground, looked at Nangong Zhentian with a shocked expression, but a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"Don't kneel, Prime Minister, go back to your seat." Nangong Zhentian looked at Mu Nanfeng and said.
"Yes." Mu Nanfeng put away the shock on his face and got up and returned to his seat.
Mu Li stood in the center, bearing everyone's gaze, with an excellent posture and a cold gaze.
"Since the princess proposed the performance, then the princess will decide what to perform." Mu Li looked sideways at Nangong Ling, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
Nangong Ling was still in a trance because of what happened just now, but when Mu Li mentioned it, he quickly retracted his mind and looked at her.
"This..."Nangong Ling looked at Mu Li, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Mu Wanwan, who was sitting next to Nangong Ling, stretched out her hand and pulled her clothes, and then whispered: "Mu Li has never been taught by the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
Hearing Mu Wanwan's reminder, Nangong Ling reacted quickly, and then said to Nangong Zhentian: "Father, why don't you let the ladies show what they are good at?" ”
"Very good." Nangong Zhentian said with a smile.
With Nangong Zhentian's permission, Nangong Ling turned to look at Mu Li with a meaningful smile on his face: "Third Miss, what do you have any opinions?" ”
"Whatever you want." Mu Li replied lightly.
Regarding Mu Li's calmness, Nangong Ling thought that she was just pretending, and still waited to see if Mu Li made a fool of himself.
"Hahaha, all Aiqing's daughters can show their talents, and I will be rewarded." Nangong Zhentian laughed and encouraged those young ladies.
"Then the courtiers, they will be ugly."
Hearing that there was a reward, the young ladies who came prepared began to move.
"Then, let the courtiers come first."
Mu Li followed the sound and saw a woman in red coming, her steps were light, and her dress was flying.
The woman in red is the daughter of the founding general Yuan Zhan, Yuan Qingji.
"Today is the queen mother's birthday, the courtiers offer ugliness, and the queen mother is blessed and healthy." Yuan Qingqi was gentle and generous, and after curtsiding, she asked the maid to send the guqin.
"Okay, General Su Wenyuan's love for you is extraordinary, and I have seen it today."
Yuan Qingjiao listened to Nangong Zhentian praising herself, a light smile rose at the corner of her mouth, Qianqian's fingers stroked the strings, and with a slight hook, the piano sounded.
Mu Li had already retreated to his place and sat down, looking at Yuan Qingji, who was stroking the qin, playfully.
I have to say that Yuan Qingjiao has some strength, the sound of the piano is high and undulating, and the aftermath is lingering.
However, what made Mu Li even more interested was that Yuan Qingjiao's gaze looked at the Seventh Prince Nangong Yu from beginning to end.
Mo Jinlan didn't know why Yuan Qingjiao's gaze had been falling on her, but she had never glanced at Yuan Qingjiao.
Now he is just using Nangong Yu's identity to stay in the Cloud Breaking Continent. His true identity is the lord of Kyushu in the upper realm, so Mo Jinlan doesn't care about these women.
If you want to say that this Cloud Breaking Continent can make Mo Jinlan look at it differently, it is only Mu Li alone.
Mu Li's gaze went back and forth between Mo Jinlan and Yuan Qingjiao, thinking that Yuan Qingxiang was coming for the crown prince Nangong Han. Unexpectedly, her target was actually this Nangong Yu, who was rumored to be frail and sick.
Mu Li moved his gaze to Mo Jinlan and pursed his lips, his face was slightly pale today, and the whole person did look a little weak.
However, Mu Li recalled that when Mo Jinlan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion alone that night, he didn't give her such a feeling.
Squinted his eyes, a hint of darkness flashed in Mu Li's eyes, and he wanted to stay away from this man in the future.
When Mo Jinlan noticed the second gaze, he raised his eyes slightly, and collided with Mu Li's gaze. The deep eyes are like a bottomless whirlpool, which makes people accidentally lose their souls.
Mu Li settled down, and then smiled back, Mo Jinlan saw this and raised the wine glass in his hand.
For some reason, Mu Li actually had a feeling of weakness towards Shang Mo Jinlan at this time.
So, Mu Li hurriedly withdrew his gaze, then lowered his head and secretly exhaled.
What's going on, I've only met a few times, and I actually have an inexplicable feeling for this man.
When Mo Jinlan caught the panic that flashed under Mu Li's eyes, the curvature of the corners of his mouth deepened.
"This girl will be flustered. Hehe... Interesting. Mo Jinlan said in his heart, and then continued to drink his wine.
Yuan Qingjiao, who was playing the piano in the hall, saw that Mo Jinlan had not looked at her, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, and her original self-confidence had also dissipated a lot.
After the song, Yuan Qingjiao got up and saluted with some loss: "The courtiers are ugly." ”
The applause rang out, and even Nangong Zhentian showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay, listen to the music gently, General Yuan's beloved daughter is really good." Nangong Zhentian said with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment." Yuan Zhan got up and said modestly.
"Now that Sister Yuan has finished performing, then the courtiers will compose a poem for the Queen Mother."
"Okay, prepare pen and ink." Nangong Zhentian said to the guards beside him.
However, Nangong Zhentian's gaze at Mu Wanwan was a little different from looking at Yuan Qingjiao just now.
Judging from Mu Li's understanding, this is completely looking at his lover's gaze.
This made Mu Li very surprised, and looking at Mu Wanwan and Nangong Zhentian's eyes, he was even more inquisitive.
This Nangong Zhentian is almost fifty years old, and he can be Mu Wanwan's father at this age. Although there were many young and beautiful women in the harem of ancient kings, the person Mu Wanwan liked seemed to be Nangong Han.
In this way, the woman that the father likes likes his son.
Tut-tut, I'm afraid there's a good show to watch in a while.
Mu Li grabbed a touch of playfulness and looked at Nangong Zhentian and Mu Wanwan with interest.
In the middle of the night, Mu Wanwan finished with a pen, and then took the poem he wrote and handed it to the guards beside Nangong Zhentian.
Every year and today, the plum blossom lane, the year and now the crane perched pine, the East China Sea Fulai immortal song, may the monarch live with the South Mountain.
"Good poetry, the prime minister's beloved daughter, worthy of being a talented woman in the capital." Nangong Zhentian took the poem written by Mu Wanwan and praised it.
"Thank you for your praise." Mu Wanwan curtsy the knees.
At this time, Mu Wanwan and Nangong Ling exchanged glances, and Nangong Ling got up: "Father, the third miss and Sister Mu are sisters, Sister Mu is so good, it's not bad to think about the third miss." Why don't you let Miss Three also compose a poem? ”
"This..."Nangong Zhentian hesitated, then looked at Mu Li.
"Since you want to show your talents, the courtiers will naturally not refuse." After speaking, Mu Li got up and came to Mu Wanwan's side: "Please also ask my sister to move, my sister is good at writing poetry." ”
Mu Wanwan looked at Mu Li's confident appearance, her eyes rolled, and she was a little suspicious in her heart.
It stands to reason that this waste should be panicked, why is it so calm.
At this time, Mu Li didn't care what others thought of him, holding his sleeve with one hand and holding a pen with the other.
Juanxiu's font was like a cloud, and when Mu Wanwan stood aside and saw Mu Li's font, her face showed shock.
How is it possible, how can Mu Li be literate!!
After a while, Mu Li put down the pen, then took the poem he wrote, gently dried the pen and ink, and then handed it to Nangong Zhentian's guards.
The jade tree is slightly cool, and the Milky Way is gradually turned.
Lin Ye is quiet, and the red is all over the place.
The red curtain is drizzling, and it is still too late to return to Yan.
On Jiaqing Day, how many people in the world have good wishes.
Chu Zhu was shocked, and Qin Zheng was a goose.
Lingering sleeves, rush over Luo recommended.
The cloud returns to a song, and it is lighter and sandalwood.
The incense is far away, and the same birthday is unlimited.
Mu Li's poem, read out of Nangong Zhentian's mouth, shocked everyone present.
Together with Mo Jinlan, who has always known that Mu Li is not simple, he also has a different view of Mu Li's poem.
"Yes, very good, the third lady is really talented." Nangong Zhentian looked at the poems written by Mu Li and praised them again and again.
