Chapter 7 Dragon Boat Palace Banquet
After the emperor and queen mother arrived, the palace banquet officially began.
"Your Majesty, everyone is so happy today, the concubines have specially prepared talents, and I hope the emperor can allow the concubines to perform." Li Jieyu hurriedly said her preparations for today before the emperor announced the start of the song and dance.
"Since the concubine is so attentive, how can I give you your will?" Dong Qilin smiled and said, "Then let's get started, let me see what you have prepared." ”
Li Ling looked at the other concubines without a trace, most of the concubines did not look very good, obviously hating how they didn't seize such an opportunity to be in the limelight, and there were also people like Fu Baolin who looked down on Li Jieyu like this, such as Wen Guifei's ridicule was very obvious, but in the end, Li Jieyu started.
Li Jieyu danced for a while.
After the dance, the applause continued, but Li Ling felt that it was not enough, and it could only be said that Li Jieyu still put her mind to it.
"Okay, Concubine Ai did dance well, and I have a lot of rewards!" Dong Qilin looked very happy, "Someone came to draft a decree and named Li Jieyu as Li Chongyuan." ”
As soon as Dong Qilin's words fell, all the people were shocked by this sudden promotion will, no one thought that it would be such a reward, and the people who laughed at Li Huiqin before did not hesitate to regard themselves as a dancing queen in order to show off their hearts were going to regret it.
However, Li Ling knows that even if it is another concubine, no matter how good her talent is, it is estimated that there will be no such reward as promotion, and the reason why Li Jieyu was promoted is entirely because her father and brother are competent, and dancing is just an excuse for promotion.
"The emperor is not afraid of favoritism when he does this?" Concubine Wen smiled and quipped, "It's better to let the sisters come to perform their talents, if you can get into the eyes of the emperor, the emperor will reward it, it's better to be happy alone, what do you think, emperor?" Concubine Wen suggested.
"The concubine's proposal is good." Dong Qilin nodded, and agreed to Concubine Wen's proposal.
But he didn't like it very much in his heart, it was his business that he was willing to reward Li Jieyu, Concubine Wen was just a concubine and not a queen, how could she interfere? However, Concubine Wen tied up all the concubines except Li Jieyu, and he really couldn't refute it.
Li Ling sighed secretly, Concubine Wen can really seize the opportunity, in this way, it is estimated that everyone will be rewarded, Li Jieyu is not a leader, and other concubines have also accepted her love, which is really a trick.
"Then who is the most suitable person for the emperor to start?" Concubine Wen asked.
"Why don't you let Concubine Ai come first?" Dong Qilin didn't like it in his heart, naturally he didn't want Concubine Wen to have a good time, Li Jieyu performed among them, after all, she was still young, and she was a newcomer who had just entered the palace, but Concubine Wen had been in the palace for so many years, and she was a concubine, how could she pull her face?
"Your Majesty, how can a concubine have any talent to show ugliness?" Concubine Wen pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't mean to lower her body at all, "I think that the talents of the new sisters who have entered the palace this year have not been seen by everyone, why don't you let these new sisters come?" ”
Li Ling smiled secretly, Concubine Wen is really a trick, in this way, not only can these new sisters in the palace thank themselves, but also let themselves have a good reputation of being virtuous and virtuous, and she doesn't want to come out and cut off Concubine Qian's way to get out, it is really killing three birds with one stone, look at Concubine Qian's face is going to be angry, looking at Concubine Wen's eyes are full of anger.
"Aifei's proposal is good, so Aifei thinks who is the most suitable to come first?" Dong Qilin nodded, there were not many concubines in the palace before Hengzhi.
"This highest-ranking Li Chongyuan has already performed, why don't you let the Jiang beauty below her perform?" Since the emperor asked her, Concubine Wen naturally took the lead.
Dong Qilin nodded.
"Then the concubine will be ugly." Jiang Meiren Jiang Linlang said softly, and then ordered someone to take a pipa, it seems that she is going to play the pipa.
Li Ling is not familiar with this Jiang beauty, in fact, she is not familiar with these concubines in the harem except for Li Jieyu. I only know that this Jiang beauty is a show girl who entered the palace together, it seems to be the daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, she looks very smart, and her eyebrows and eyes are slender.
At the end of a pipa, Dong Qilin rewarded a pair of jade Ruyi, although they were also precious, but after all, they were not as real and dazzling as Li Huiqin's reward.
Then Mo Meiren Mo Shaoxue made a poem, describing tonight's banquet, which is not outstanding, but it is still quite appreciated by the emperor and the queen mother, and a piece of jade pendant was rewarded by the queen mother, I heard that this jade pendant was paid tribute by the Liang country, there are only three pieces in total, one for the queen mother, one for the emperor, and one for the emperor's sibling Dong Qirui, and now the queen mother has given her piece to Mo Shaoxue, which shows that the queen mother likes this Mo no one.
And then there is Wang Cairen, she painted a landscape painting, this Wang Cairen knew that on the day she first asked the Queen Mother for Ande, she helped Li Chongyuan feel sorry for herself.
Then it was the turn of the pear ling.
After thinking about it, she decided to play the piano, and she told Nan Fei to get her usual piano, and she wanted to think about what song to play.
She didn't want to be so brilliant, the person who framed her that time hadn't been found out, and it was always bad to be too showy, but tonight, it is estimated that no one will be in the limelight. Jiang Meiren has already played the pipa in front of her, and she is actually a little inferior when she chooses to play the piano at this time, but what she wants is such a "falling ride"!
