Chapter 13: The Banquet Turmoil

Nani?

Ji Yutong raised his head suddenly, almost unable to resist pinching him on the spot.

But the situation did not allow her to be willful, and although Chu Linyuan really just wanted to help Chu Qingning, he could be regarded as helping her a little by the way.

The emperor is fond of Chu Qingning, and today is a celebration banquet specially set up for Chu Linyuan, with the two of them helping to speak, the emperor will not be too harsh.

After all, it's not a big deal in itself.

Ji Yutong was pinched by Chu Qingning's hands, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Fortunately, the emperor really knew how to go down the steps.

I saw him wave his big hand and smile heartily, "Hahaha, look at you nervous, when did I blame this little girl, get up, today is a festive day, I have already said that there is no need to be restrained, she is much more straightforward than you people." ”

After that, the emperor sat down slowly, his sharp gaze suddenly shot towards Ji Yutong, but there was still a kind smile on his face, "It is said that this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Ning'an is both talented and beautiful, and she is the first beauty of our Chixiao Country, so I wonder if the sixth miss of the Hou Mansion is also amazing and glamorous, beautiful and envious?" ”

This ancient man likes to beat around the bush when he speaks, and he has a bookish atmosphere.

Ji Yutong translated in her heart for a while before she reacted, does this emperor want to see her uncover the hat?

That's not going to work!

Her hat is so useful, how can she take it off now?

"Back to the emperor." Ji Yutong had just gotten up and was about to politely refuse, but another voice suddenly interrupted her from the middle of the banquet on the right.

"Back to the emperor, the minister's six daughters have accidentally ruined their appearance since they were young, and they have developed an inferiority complex and shy character, if she unveils her veil now, the minister may make the emperor frightened."

Ji Chunqiu, the Marquis of Ning'an, stood outside the banquet, bowed respectfully, and his tone was very frightened.

It looks like the kind of minister who is useless and sits in a high position all day long.

But Ji Yutong keenly noticed that Ji Chunqiu was constantly signaling to her with his eyes, as if asking her to hurry back to the seat of the Hou Mansion.

But will Ji Yutong do what he wants?

The answer, of course, is no.

Not only did she ignore Ji Chunqiu, who had hardly met her father, but she also saluted the emperor very playfully.

"Your Majesty, it is true that as my father said, the courtiers have ruined their appearance since they were young, so in order not to scare the emperor, it is better not to lift the veil now."

She can say that, of course Ji Chunqiu is quite satisfied.

But before he could put his mind at ease, Ji Yutong said again, "However, since the emperor wants to see it, the courtiers will naturally not refuse, but if it can be put in the later performances, the courtiers feel that the emperor should be more happy." ”

"Performance?" In the face of so many ministers and royal relatives in the court, Ji Yutong could still sell the guanzi so playfully, Chu Zhen raised his eyebrows with some interest, "You mean you also have prepared a talent?" ”

This sixth lady of the Hou Mansion came back from the dead, and the thing that crawled out of the cemetery was too eerie after all, and Chu Zhen, as the emperor, naturally heard a little about it.

Seeing her now, she is still so mysterious, he is naturally a little curious.

I don't know what kind of talent this sixth lady of the Hou Mansion who came back from the dead, a person who has been abandoned since birth, can have?

"Naturally, there is, the courtiers believe that they will not disappoint the emperor." Ji Yutong stood respectfully, although she couldn't see her face clearly, the strong confidence in her body still made everyone present have a doubt at the same time.

Is she really Ji Yutong?

"Hahaha, good, very good, it's really Ning Anhou's daughter, one is more courageous than the other, then I'll wait and see, I hope you can really do what you said, and you won't disappoint me."

Even if Chu Zhen smiled, that majestic momentum still couldn't cover it, especially those shrewd and sharp eyes, as if they could directly pierce all your lies.

But Ji Yutong had no sense of being intimidated, but responded very chicly, "No problem." ”

"Haha, Ji Aiqing, your little daughter is interesting, you are really too modest, where is such an eccentric little girl inferior, hahaha~"

Maybe no one has spoken to him so casually and chic for so many years, and it is on this occasion.

Chu Zhen laughed so much that the folds in the corners of his eyes floated.

But the hidden lines in his words made many people present swallow their spit unconsciously.

Ji Chunqiu's face turned pale for a while, and he almost knelt down on the spot, "Your Majesty, Minister"

"Alright, let's have a feast." Chu Zhen suddenly waved his hand to interrupt his words, "Ji Aiqing, you also sit, don't be restrained, and enjoy what wonderful performance your little daughter can bring to us with me in a while." ”

“...... Be. ”

Ji Chunqiu retreated again in panic, and after returning to his seat, he glared at Ji Yutong fiercely, and then glanced vaguely in the direction of the prince.

Prince Chu Tianyi squinted, glanced at him coldly with a wine glass, and then immediately raised his glass and drank it all.

The interaction was very subtle, and there were hundreds of people present, so it was really not easy to detect.

Chu Linyuan, the king of war, who was standing on the seat with his torso straight and pinching the wine glass as if he was watching wine, glanced at them coldly, and the corners of his mouth were pouted with a cruel arc.

The little farce is over, and the banquet has officially begun.

said that it was a celebration banquet, in fact, except for the fact that the emperor sat there at the beginning and said a bunch of deeds praising the war king's bravery, and all the ministers congratulated him sincerely or falsely, the process behind this was basically similar to an ordinary palace banquet.

And because the emperor deliberately issued a holy decree for all ministers to bring their families, then this celebration banquet should have another layer of deep meaning.

Sure enough, after the dancers who danced a bunch of messy dances with water sleeves left the stage, it was time for the daughters of the ministers to perform their talents on stage one by one.

This part of the talent show seems to have been set a long time ago, for example, only Ji Wanyun and Ji Wanqing will be on the stage in the Ning'an Hou Mansion, and the other concubines have no chance.

The other ministers are the same, and will only save the opportunity to their most favored daughter.

If it weren't for Ji Yutong inadvertently colliding with the emperor, and finally letting the emperor personally say that he wanted to watch her perform, Ji Yutong would not have had a chance to appear.

"Oh, Sister Hitomi, what are you asking me to say about you? You really scared the hell out of me! Everyone didn't stand up, what are you panicking about? ”

The previous links were quite serious and formal, Chu Qingning had been pulled by the emperor and the princes and said a lot of words, and when the daughter of the household servant came on the field, she found an opportunity and pulled Ji Yutong to her side.

"I didn't panic...... Ji Yutong rubbed his knees, which were still a little uncomfortable, and frowned, "I just feel uncomfortable on my knees when I kneel, and I subconsciously ...... when I hear it."

"Hey, not next time! It's good that my brother helped us say something, otherwise you would have died! Chu Qingning also rubbed his knees, "I actually don't like kneeling either, every time I kneel back, I have to rub medicine on my knees." ”

As she spoke, Chu Qingning suddenly shook her shoulders with bright eyes, "By the way, Sister Tong'er, are you really ready for a talent?" What a talent! ”
