The night banquet of the imperial garden is placed on the edge of the jade lotus pond, although the name is a pool, the vast water surface is very spectacular, a bridge erected by stone slabs extends to the pool, it should not be the center, but it is separated from the land for a distance of 100 meters, there is a flat ground in the pool, which is used to perform songs and dances for the emperor's concubines to watch, and today's songs and dances are also performed here.

There is a viewing platform on the edge of the Jade Lotus Pond, today the Queen Mother and Cui Guifei led the prince and his wife to sit on the platform, and the invited ladies only sat under the viewing platform, and every move under the stage could be seen clearly on the viewing platform.

Compared with the position of Beiling in the center, the position of Nanxiang Yu's house seems too cornered, and Qingrang's position looks flush with Yichan but is actually slightly behind, Qingrang obviously feels that Yichan's back is a little bent, and he should feel that he has lost face.

"Cui Chenghuan deliberately came here to show off and was embarrassed, but you were polite, I thought that although you were the youngest, the ladies here were sensible to many people."

"I'm a lady from a big family." Yichan pouted and straightened her waist, because Qing Rang praised her for returning to the vigor of Miss Yu's family, and Xuanyin, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but admire, Yichan was respectful to her because she was a teacher, but now she should be happy and convinced of Qing Rang.

After the queen mother's kind words, the song and dance began, eating, drinking, and listening to silk music, it was originally an ordinary banquet, and the talents of the ladies and ladies of each family were afraid that they had already performed enough in Beijing, and Hua Shu secretly yawned. Until Mu Yi appeared on the stage, under the yellow light, she was dressed in red like a fire stamen, and there was a degree of relaxation between her sleeves, and the banquet was quiet.

"She's really wonderful." Yichan, who has always had a complaint about Mu Yi, couldn't help but admire.

Qing Rang's face was not surprised by everyone, but there was a slight sigh, this is not the most beautiful Mu Yi, that day under the maple tree in the small courtyard, she danced full of friendship that wanted to say goodbye, that was the real Fang Muyi. What is missing today, she will be like this, only dancing without expression?

Mu Yi danced, walked from the pool to the viewing platform with his skirt, and knelt under the stage, "Mu Yi is ugly." ”

"Queen Mother, this girl is really modest, if this is considered a sacrifice of ugliness, then how can we be good people who can only show off twice." Cui Guifei spoke first.

"Xie Guifei Niangniang praised."

"Mu Yi, this girl also hides from the mourning family on weekdays, I didn't expect to dance so well, and the mourning family will reward you later!"

Mu Yi thanked him and returned to his seat, and the Queen Mother glanced at it, only to find that Fang Shijie was not in his seat, "Where did Shijie's stinky boy go?" Hey, it's time to catch those things again, the mourning family looked at the list before, didn't it mean that the Yu family also has singing and dancing, it's better to perform together, if it can't compare to Mu Yi, the mourning family will be punished. The Queen Mother is joking, but everyone still turned their eyes to Yu Yichan, and the ceremonial official also looked at Qing Rang in embarrassment, and just accepted Qing Rang's silver and let others fill their vacancy, but now the Queen Mother personally asked, and he asked Qing Rang whether he replied truthfully.

Qing Rang took a deep breath and stood up and walked to the center of the observation deck, "The concubine is guilty. ”

"The Queen Mother, it's none of my sister-in-law's business, it's because I ate something bad, and now my legs are weak and I can't dance for the Queen Mother." Yichan knelt beside Qing Rang, ready to receive the punishment.

"I don't think the Yu family has reflected enough, this is because they are dissatisfied with the Holy Queen Mother, so they will be treated like this!" The prince turned his fingers, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"The Yu family has always been devoted to repentance, and they have always been grateful for the kindness of the Holy Empress Dowager, without a trace of dissatisfaction, and they dare not be disrespectful to the Holy Empress Dowager and the masters of the palaces." Qing Rang kowtowed heavily on the ground, and there was already a little blood on his forehead.

"Imperial grandmother, grandson just passed by, and I have heard about Miss Yu, and what they said is true." ASUS pleaded.

"If the queen mother doesn't dislike the concubine's clumsy dancing skills, the concubine will be a dance for the queen mother and the masters." Qing Rang suddenly spoke, she knew that if she blindly pleaded for intercession, the prince would definitely not let go, so it was better to give it a go.

"Queen Mother, Hua Shu wants to dance instead of her sister." After all, it was her sister, how could Hua Shu bear to see that Jean was punished, and immediately knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

"It's very good that you have a deep sisterhood, it doesn't matter if you dance well or not, the most important thing for people is to understand friendship, you don't have to, after all, she is the person of the Yu family, girl, or you dance, if you dance well, there is still a reward, if you don't mourn well, you won't be punished, after all, everyone has their own strengths."

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager, please allow the concubine to prepare."

"Go ahead."

Qing Rang stumbled a little when he got up, but Yichan stepped forward in time to help him, and the ladies were half laughing and half sympathizing. It was ridiculed that she was incompetent, and sympathized with her that she had provoked a family responsibility in this palace*.

Huashuo looked at Qingrang's back, his fists clenched tightly, for Yu Zichen and for the Yu family, she would be so desperate, he was jealous, but he was more worried about her, he knew that she didn't know how to dance, what would she do later, but the little guy next to him came to report and said that Miss Rang was invited.
