Chapter 15: The Palace Banquet
Zhao Wanjun bit her lip and narrowed her eyes, and said hatefully: "Su Wan, I will definitely let you be spurned by the world, and you will never be at peace!"
Zhu'er trembled and knelt in place, not daring to say a word.
Following.
The exquisitely decorated carriage stopped in front of the main gate of Su Mansion, and Su Nanhua, Su Wu and Su Xian and others got into the carriage and entered the palace for a banquet.
Su Xian asked for some reason to ride in the same carriage with Su Wan, but Su Wu couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.
The carriage was driving steadily, Su Xian looked at Su Wan with a smile, took out a delicate and meticulous dance dress from the wooden box, and said, "Second sister, look, how is my sister's dance dress doing?"
Su Wu also looked at it seriously, and said with a light smile: "The materials of the dance skirt are very particular, and the stitches can't be seen, it's really a fine product, could it be that my sister made it herself?"
Su Xian nodded a little shyly.
Su Wan looked back and forth, and said with a smile: "My sister is really a pair of skillful hands, and her workmanship is comparable to that of a first-class garment weaver in the capital, does my sister want to dance at the palace banquet?"
"Yes, my sister is right, by the way, what kind of talent is my sister preparing?" asked Su Xian with a look of concern.
Su Wu was slightly stunned, and then pretended to be mysterious and said: "Sell it to my sister first, and my sister will naturally know about it then." ”
Su Xian smiled and nodded, turning around and thinking about her thoughts.
When the carriage arrived at the palace, the smiling eunuch with a flattering face stepped forward and said, "Slaves, see your lordship, the palace banquet is about to begin, your lordship and ladies should enter the palace quickly." ”
Su Nanhua smiled and said, "Thank you father-in-law for coming." "Then follow the others into the temple.
Su Wan and Su Xian both looked at the palace, but their thoughts were different, Su Wu looked at the familiar scene in front of her, and still remembered herself in her previous life, the Queen Mother treated her very well, but in the end she didn't have time to do something for the Queen Mother and her old man, thinking of this, I felt very guilty.
Su Xian just felt that if she married Xuanyuan Jinnian, she might not be the queen, and what she would enjoy in the palace at that time was the life of brocade clothes and jade food, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Entering the hall, the song and dance began slowly.
Su Nanhua and the others knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
The emperor looked nearly fifty years old, but he was still in good spirits, and he smiled and said, "Aiqing is exempt, take a seat." ”
Su Nanhua said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The emperor raised his hand, pointed at Su Wu, who was silent with her head down, and said, "This is Su Aiqing's daughter Su Wu, raise my head." ”
When Su Wu saw that she suddenly clicked on herself, she also raised her head calmly and generously and said: "Yes, the courtiers see the emperor, and the courtiers are Su Wu." ”
The emperor said with a smile: "It is really Su Aiqing's daughter, she is generous, she does not lose her demeanor, and she can bear the name of the county lord of Anxi." ”
Su Wan smiled and said, "The emperor praised it falsely." ”
The emperor was satisfied, and Su Nanhua and others took their seats.
The Queen Mother smiled kindly and said, "I heard that the sun set some time ago, but I don't know if my body is healed now?"
Su Wan's heart warmed, and said: "Thanks to the love of the Queen Mother, my sister-in-law has recovered." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and bowed her head.
The queen's makeup was dignified, and she said: "I have heard that Prime Minister Su's daughters are versatile, why don't you give us a dance, how about it?"
Su Nanhua replied respectfully: "Naturally, let the little girl Su Wu offer a dance, sister-in-law, go." ”
Su Wu got up and said, "Yes, the courtier will be ugly." ”
At this time, Xuanyuan Anhe suddenly said: "Queen Mother, wouldn't it be a disappointment to have dancing and no music accompaniment, you might as well let your sons accompany Miss Su, I don't know what Niangniang and Miss Su think?"
Su Wu was stunned for a moment, and the queen smiled and said, "Since He'er said so, then the palace will let you accompany Miss Su." ”
At this time, Xuanyuan Jinnian said lightly: "Queen Mother, Erchen also wants to be happy for Miss Su." ”
Su Wan's eyebrows furrowed, and then she saw Xuanyuan Jinnian, and at the same time, she noticed that there was a woman beside Xuanyuan Jinnian who had never seen her before, with picturesque eyebrows.
It seemed that the woman seemed to be going to the banquet with Xuanyuan Jinnian, Su Wu was stunned, didn't Xuanyuan Jinnian say that she would go to the banquet with her?
As soon as Xuanyuan Jinnian's words came out, the woman beside him said lightly: "See the queen's mother, the courtiers think that only the flute accompaniment is monotonous, and the courtiers are willing to play a song for Miss Su." ”
At this time, everyone in the hall looked at the woman.
The queen was naturally happy, she said: "Princess Changge, this palace naturally agrees to your request, come here, play the qin, and flute." ”
Everyone obviously didn't expect that Su Wan could let so many people compete for her first?
Su Wu is inexplicably a little unpleasant, it turns out that this woman is the princess of Changge, no wonder, she is a princess, and what can she be counted?
She was a little absent-minded, but she barely maintained a calm appearance, and danced slowly like a fairy in a light purple Confucian dress.
The palm is light, it is really light, soft as boneless, and with Su Wan's careful preparation, the dance is simply amazing.
The sound of Xuanyuan Jinnian and Xuanyuan Anhe's flute and the piano of Princess Changge are intertwined, which is extremely pleasant and very tacit.
The dance ended slowly, and Su Wu smiled lightly and said, "It's ugly for the mother." ”
The queen had a smile on her face and said: "Prime Minister Su's daughter is really amazing, she really lives up to the title of the first talented woman in the capital, Princess Changge's piano skills are indeed a must, and the flute sound of the prince and King He is indeed a must." ”
The three of them got up and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Su Wan returned to her seat, although Su Qian was very annoyed in her heart, she asked softly on her face: "Sister is really a blessing, let the prince and the princess accompany my sister." ”
Su Wu didn't hear the jealousy in Su Qian's words, she said lightly: "It's just an accompaniment, and my sister also wants to thank them." ”
Su Xian's face stiffened with a smile and did not speak again.
Jiang Changge looked at Su Wu with a faint smile, and Su Wu also looked at her, for some reason, Su Wu always hated this woman.
Xuanyuan Jinnian did not communicate with Su Wu at this palace banquet, and Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.
The palace banquet was held, and Su Xian danced in a light blue Confucian skirt, which did win a lot of applause, but it was still not as popular as Su Wan's dance.
In the evening, the palace banquet ended, and everyone saluted the emperor and returned to the house one after another.
Sitting in the carriage, Su Qian smiled and said, "My sister's dance today is really stunning, I don't know when my sister will be able to teach my sister?"
Su Wan knew that Su Qian didn't have any good intentions, so she smiled and said: "What is my sister talking about, my sister's dancing skills are already a must, where does my sister dare to teach my sister? But if my sister really wants to learn, my sister will naturally teach my sister." ”
Su Xian smiled and bowed her head, rolled her eyes, and said: "By the way, the princess Changge next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today is worthy of being a princess who came to kiss, both in appearance and talent. ”
Su Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "Harmony, with whom?"
Seeing that Su Xian cared, a trace of pride flashed in her heart, and said, "Naturally, it is His Royal Highness the Prince, and Princess Changge is going to the banquet with the prince today." ”
