Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Banquet
Everyone admired the graceful dancing of the dancers and listened to the melodious music.
Xiyue moved around there, these sisters and sisters were beautiful, but she wanted to go out to see the scenery, she didn't want to see them dance. Because the moon is an idle one. You can't walk around in the palace, you can't play with Qing Shui, and you can't find anyone to talk to, it's boring to death!
However, after this song was danced, the excitement came, and Xiyue watched the show in a proper manner.
Gu Xihan chatted very happily with the fourth prince next to her, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the fourth prince's little fan.
Ji Qiaoer, the little fan sister of the fourth prince, is the only daughter of the Hou Ye, and she is favored at home, what do you want, but if you can't get the favor of the four princes, she is annoyed, and today she saw Gu Xihan talking with the fourth prince very happily, and she was even more annoyed, and she couldn't wait to rush up and slap her a few times, and then kick her twice. However, because the emperor is here and there are so many guests, it can't be so direct.
Ji Qiao'er picked up the wine glass, walked to the fourth prince, and interrupted the conversation between the two, "At today's banquet, everyone chatted happily, Qiao'er took this opportunity to toast the prince." β
The fourth prince left her alone after drinking. Ji Qiao'er gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Xihan again: "Qiao'er respects Sister Gu with a cup." β
Gu Xihan drank it, and Ji Qiao'er was about to drink it, when a maid suddenly ran over and bumped into Ji Qiao'er, and Ji Qiao'er "accidentally" spilled the wine on Gu Xihan's face.
"Oh, sister, I'm sorry, Qiao'er didn't mean to," then she turned to look at the maid kneeling on the ground, "What are you doing? β
"Yes. The maidservant quickly withdrew from the palace.
Xiyue and Qing Shui were smiling beside them, although Ji Qiao'er's trick was naΓ―ve, but it was a relief for her anger!
Gu Xihan hurriedly went down to re-dress, gritting her teeth in anger.
Wang Youping saw that Gu Xihan was in a situation, and hurriedly followed Gu Xihan to find out the situation.
After Gu Xihan left, Xiyue glanced at Qing Shui, the two of them couldn't hold back, and they both laughed, Gu Xihan just became a flower cat, haha!
Xiao Ye looked at Xiyue, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he took a glass of wine and drank it all.
At this time, a woman walked up to Xiao Ye, Xiyue put away her smile, "Qing Shui, go find out who this person is", Qing Shui got the order and left, and Xiyue stared at the two people next to her.
The woman is good-looking and looks good when she smiles.
The woman talked to Xiao Ye for a while, and it seemed that she had a good conversation, but Xiyue kept listening with her ears pricked up.
Soon, Qing Shui came back and said softly in Xiyue's ear: "Mu Qingyin, 17 years old, the emperor's third daughter, is famous among the nobles for her exquisite piano sound, and seems to be particularly obsessed with King Xiao. β
"Persistent?" Xiyue tilted her head.
"Well, I heard that before the Xiao family was destroyed, Mu Qingyin and the Xiao family had a very good relationship, and I heard that the two of them were going to get engaged! At the end, Qing Shui smiled and added, "Xiyue, your man is going to be robbed!"
Xiyue glared at Qing Shui, and Qing Shui immediately shut up obediently.
Xiyue turned her head to look at the two people next to her, engaged? Hasn't Xiao Ye been thinking about that Lin Yuexian? Why, do you want to change people? Sure enough, all men in the world are the same, * smoked heart, forgetful when they see lust, wolf-hearted dog-hearted! The more Xiyue thought about it, the more angry she became, and she poured the wine into her mouth.
Wait, I'm angry, he's not my man, yes, yes, don't be angry, even if he has a group of wives and concubines, it has nothing to do with me.
So, Xiyue held her head, ate grapes, and tilted her head to watch the excitement.
I saw Mu Qingyin bowing her head lightly to Xiao Ye, "I heard that King Xiao can play the piano and blow the flute, I don't know if the little girl has the honor to invite King Xiao and the little girl to play a song." β
Xi Yue's belly: When will Xiao Ye's bastard play the piano and blow the flute? Why don't I know? It must be just a rumor, Xiao Ye, quickly refuse.
Xiao Ye was about to refuse, but looking at Xiyue next to him, he looked unhappy, Xian'er was jealous, so he wanted to tease Xiyue, so he agreed to Mu Qingyin.
Mu Qingyin was overjoyed, this was the first time Xiao Ye agreed to play with her, and hurriedly called someone to bring the piano up.
Xiyue pouted, super dissatisfied, so she drank a few more glasses of wine, and Qing Shui couldn't stop it, so she left it to her, anyway, she was here, Xiao Ye was also there, and nothing would happen.
Xiao Ye played the flute, Mu Qingyin played the piano, the handsome man didn't know if it was, there were beautiful women, and they looked right, which attracted admiration from everyone present.
At the end of the song, Mu Qingyin still wanted to play another song with Xiao Ye.
Xiyue stood up, her face was slightly red, although it was not obvious, but Qing Shui knew that Xiyue was drunk, and Xiao Ye also knew.
"The two of you are really good. The little girl is also a little accomplished in music, and she wants to compare with the two, but I wonder if the two of you are willing to teach?"
Mu Qingyin smiled, "Of course I do, I'm ugly." β
Mu Qingyin sat down, flicked her sleeves and raised her hand, and the light and melodious music flowed out, and everyone present praised and praised it, and they all listened carefully, but not everyone was lucky enough to hear the sound of the third princess!
At the end of the song, everyone applauded.
Mu Qingyin smiled and returned to her position, ready to watch Xiyue's performance.
Xiyue sat in front of the xylophone and smiled, "I wonder if King Xiao can play together?"
"Good. Xiao Ye immediately called someone to fetch a piano and sat side by side with Xiyue.
Several people in the Gu family looked at Xiyue, they were all very angry, where could she play the piano as a wild girl! She dared to compare with King Xiao and the third princess, she didn't think much of herself, and she simply lost the face of the Gu family.
Xiyue was dizzy, she had never played the piano, she was just angry for a while, but she always felt that she could play. Now that she's drunk, she can't care so much, just go up, who is afraid of whom!
Xiao Ye started the tune first, everyone didn't expect Xiao Ye, a military general, to understand this music.
Xiyue was stunned for a while, everyone stared at Xiyue, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
Xiyue ignored the discussion, closed her eyes and listened to Xiao Ye's tune, and then, with the melody, flicked her hand and played the first note, and the audience was silent.
Then, Xiyue played smoothly, cooperating with Xiao Ye just right, and at the end of the song, it could be compared with the third princess, and even faintly surpassed.
Mu Qingyin was also shocked, she had practiced her piano skills since she was a child, and she boasted that she had never met an opponent, but today, someone was able to tie with her, and this person was not only a country girl, but also played with Xiao Ye.
To be honest, Mu Qingyin felt that her pride and dignity as a princess had been provoked. What Mu Qingyin didn't know was that Xiyue had also practiced the piano since childhood, and in modern times, Xiyue had won a national first-class honorary certificate, and was also a special guest judge in a national competition, which was naturally amazing.
Although she was unhappy, she still praised Xiyue.
"Amazing, Qingyin thinks that her piano skills are unparalleled, and she feels ashamed when she listens to the second lady's song today. Mu Qingyin smiled, "I don't know when the second lady started practicing? β
Xiyue didn't want to answer this question now, she was sleepy, and she just said "I don't remember" and perfunctory, but she really didn't remember.
Mu Qingyin secretly hated Xiyue, she was so unsympathetic, so perfunctory, as a princess, how could she have face!
"Oh, that's it," Mu Qingyin still smiled generously, "The second miss is willing to come to the palace another day, and Qingyin wants to have another discussion with the second miss." β
"Okay, whatever you want. The three words of Xiyue sent Mu Qingyin away.
Xiyue stood up and prepared to go back to her seat for a while, but somehow, it was not yet noon, so sleepy, and she felt cold.
After only a few steps, I felt dizzy and almost fell.
Xiao Ye saw that something was wrong with Xiyue, and after sitting back in his seat, Xiao Ye asked Xiyue what was wrong with Xiyue and if there was anything uncomfortable.
Xiyue was dizzy and didn't want to speak, so she ignored him.
Xiao Ye thought that Xiyue was still angry with him, so he didn't continue to ask, for fear of provoking Xiyue.
Xiyue calculated the time of the end of the banquet in her heart, she must survive it, and she can't fall in the palace, she estimates that it is made by five stones, if it is diagnosed by the imperial doctor, then she will not be able to explain. Wushisan is not an ordinary poison, ordinary people can't touch it, and why she, a country girl, was poisoned, which will make people suspicious.
Xiyue pinched her thigh hard to prevent herself from fainting.
Qing Shui saw that something was wrong with Xiyue, and lowered his head to ask.
"Five stones scattered. Then Xiyue smiled, "It's okay, we'll leave after the banquet, just don't fall in the palace." β
Qing Shui also knew that Xiyue had hit Wushisan, but she had no choice but to help Xiyue cover up and prevent others from discovering her abnormality.
Who knew that Gu Xihan saw that Xiyue was in the limelight, and he also offered a dance, and after everyone saw Gu Xihan finish dancing, they all wanted to know if Xiyue would also dance.
Xiyue can jump, but she can't jump now, she doesn't want to jump, and her body is weak, so she let Qing Shui say that she can't.
But everyone didn't believe it, so they had to let her jump, and said that it would be okay if they wouldn't, and everyone didn't dislike it.
Xiyue is a little angry, okay, jump and jump!
"Qing Shui, give me the heart devourer. Xiyue's face turned pale.
"How do you know I brought ......" Qing Shui was startled, what was Xiyue going to do?
"I saw you have it in your bag today, give it to me. β
"You don't want to ......" I didn't bring it if I knew it, Xiyue is like this now, I don't know what I'm doing at all. This hurts her.
"Give it to me, it's fine. "As long as you eat Heart-Eating, the toxicity of Wushisan can be postponed until it attacks with Heart-Eater, and the date of Heart-Eater attack is a few days later, so that you can get through today.
Qing Shui still refused to give it, but was robbed by Xiyue.
After Xiyue ate it, she asked for a sword, and when she walked to the center, she wanted to dance the sword.
