The Dingguo Mansion itself has attracted attention, and now such an episode has become the focus. Some of the nobles who did not like Xiao Yuchen to see the county lord of Jianing did not like her jokes, and they were a little disappointed.

And many courtiers felt that the marriage between the Dingguo Mansion and the Duan Prince's Mansion was not cost-effective. In addition to his high status and wealth, Prince Duan is useless, not to mention that he is still a bastard.

But no matter what others think, Tang Shuyi and the county lord of Jianing are happy here. Originally, she didn't look at the background of the county lord of Jianing, but the intelligence of this girl. Just like now, even if what happened just now, the county lord of Jianing was still generous when he greeted others, as if what happened just now did not happen.

Tang Shuyi really became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

Mrs. Tang whispered to Tang Shuyi: "Your daughter-in-law has picked it well." ”

The smile on Tang Shuyi's face was even bigger.

After a while, the palace gate opened, and everyone walked in one after another, Xiao Yuzhu kept following Tang Shuyi's side closely. entered the banquet hall and were taken to their respective positions by the palace maids and eunuchs. The defense of men and women in the Great Qian's Dynasty was not very heavy, but the banquet still had to be divided between men and women.

In the past, men and women feasted in different banquet halls, but today they are in the same banquet hall, but with screens separating men and women. Tang Shuyi didn't think much about this. Anyway, the emperor has the final say on this kind of thing, and people can do whatever they want.

Everyone sat down, and after a while, the emperor, empress, and concubines arrived. After the emperor sat down, he spoke impassionedly, and then he waved his hand, and a row of palace maids walked in with a meal. After the meal came up, there were dancing girls again, and the singing and dancing leveled out.

After the dancing queen finished her dance, the emperor raised her glass and toasted to the courtiers, and the queen also toasted the wives. Putting down the wine glass, the queen smiled and said to the emperor: "The concubines heard that several young ladies from the adult family are very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so it is better to let them show it, and we will also open our eyes." ”

After hearing this, the emperor nodded, "Okay, the queen is your arrangement." ”

"Yes," said the queen again, "in that case, it is better to remove the screen, so that everyone can appreciate it."

The emperor nodded, "The empress's idea is good, let's withdraw." ”

He spoke, and immediately a dozen eunuchs came in and quickly removed the screen. Tang Shuyi looked at the banquet hall without any barrier and shook Xiao Yuzhu's hand. The emperor should have a purpose in doing this, but I don't know who it is aimed at.

She turned her head and whispered to Xiao Yuzhu: "No matter what happens for a while, don't be afraid, my mother and your father are here."

She was afraid that the emperor was coming for Yuzhu, and if the emperor dared to marry the four princes and Yuzhu on the spot today, she would not agree to it even if she was desperate.

"I know, mother, don't worry." Xiao Yuzhu said with a smile.

Tang Shuyi touched her head, and then looked at Xiao Huai. The two met their eyes and gave each other a smile. Whatever happens, just face it together.

"Which young lady came first?"

The Queen's voice rang out, but there was silence below. The young ladies of all families are nervous at the moment. Before, the emperor had the idea of selecting people to enter the palace from among the talented women in Beijing, but then he did not succeed. It's not going to be this time again, is it?

Seeing that no one responded, the queen's face was a little bad. At this time, a crisp voice sounded, "The courtiers will come first." ”

As he spoke, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a graceful figure and a gorgeous face, walked out. Arriving in the center of the banquet hall, she bowed to the emperor and empress. The queen's face softened a lot, and she asked, "Where are you?" ”

"The courtier's daughter Luo Xiaonan, her father is Guanglu doctor Luo Xiangwen."

The queen nodded, but there was some discussion below. There is no other reason, those who can participate in today's palace banquet are all officials and their families above the second grade, and Dr. Guanglu is from the third grade.

At this time, the queen's voice sounded again, "What dance are you going to dance?" ”

"Green Waist." Luo Xiaonan said.

The queen nodded, "You go and clean up." ”

Luo Xiaonan saluted again, and then turned to leave. Tang Shuyi has also seen a lot of beauties, but I have to say that this Miss Luo has a good appearance. It's just that I don't know what she thinks about fighting with the emperor or empress.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Xiaonan came dressed in a white and green dance costume, first saluted the emperor and empress, and then danced with her waist swinging as the music sounded.

Looking at the beautiful dance, Tang Shuyi heard a poem in his mind: Dance low in the heart of the willow building, and sing the peach blossom fan.

Could it be that this is a beauty that the queen presented to the emperor? Tang Shuyi was thinking about it, when he saw Luo Xiaonan's waist turn, and he came to Xiao Huai's approach, and then flicked his long water sleeves and hit the wine glass on Xiao Huai's table impartially, and the wine glass fell crookedly, and the wine spilled out, wetting Xiao Huai's clothes.

"Yikes!" Luo Xiaonan exclaimed, stopped dancing and walked to Xiao Huai's side, bending down to wipe him. But before her hand could touch the person, she was vigorously pushed away. Then she leaned and was about to fall on Xiao Huai, but Xiao Huai got up and avoided at that moment, and Luo Xiaonan fell to the ground.

It happened so suddenly that the musicians didn't have time to stop. Then the queen waved her hand, the music died down, and the banquet hall was silent.

"Ouch, what's going on?" The queen said with a look of pity: "Quickly help people up." ”

The two palace maids walked over to help people up, Luo Xiaonan walked to the center of the banquet hall and knelt down, "The courtiers are not good at their skills, I hope that the emperor and the queen will forgive their sins, and I hope that the prince will forgive their sins." ”

"Poor see, get up quickly." The queen turned her head to look at Xiao Huai, "This palace didn't mean to see her, so Dingguo Gong will forgive her." ”

Xiao Huai roughly guessed the emperor's purpose, he bowed and said, "The minister is fine." ”

The queen smiled on her face, turned her head and said to the emperor: "The concubine thinks that this young lady of the Luo family is quite close to the Duke of Dingguo. ”

The emperor nodded, then looked at Luo Xiaonan and asked, "Is there a marriage match?" ”

Luo Xiaonan replied with a red face: "I have never been married." ”

"Well," the emperor looked at Xiao Huai, "I heard that you don't have a concubine in your backyard, and today you are also destined for this Miss Luo, so I will give her to you as a second room." ”
