Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 273 Chapter 271
In the main hall, when Song Yuanxuan walked in, there were already many people sitting, and Eunuch Li led him into a seat.

This seat is not far from Yuan Hao, and it is almost a seat that officials above the fourth rank can sit in. Song Yuanxuan couldn't help being startled. It seems that Yuan Hao really attaches great importance to him.

After sitting down, Song Yuanxuan realized that Lu Qingchen was sitting beside him, but the others did not recognize him.

Lu Qingchen cupped his fists at him and said, "Brother Song is here!"

Song Yuanxuan was stunned and said: "Brother Lu, you are the closest family member of the Queen Mother, why are you just sitting here?"

"I'm just a seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy. Sitting here is already beyond the limit. If I go too far, it will not be good for the Lu family."

Lu Qingchen said softly, and Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly: "Brother Lu said that, I am really on pins and needles!"

"Brother Song is different!" Lu Qingchen shook his head, then smiled slightly: "Brother Song is Uncle Wen Yi, with a title, naturally he cannot be counted as a seventh-rank official.

What's more, Brother Song is the number one scholar in the Sanyuan, which is already extremely rare, and the court also gave Brother Song the title of King of Poetry, so sitting here is more than enough. "

Song Yuanxuan hooked the corner of his mouth and said: "Brother Lu, you are flattering me!"

When Lu Qingchen was about to speak, Yuan Hao's voice sounded: "Dear dear friends, another year has passed, during this year, thank you for everything you have done for the court and the people..."

There wasn't much surprising in the opening remarks, it was nothing more than encouraging the ministers and sending a message for the future, so Song Yuanxuan was just silent, thinking about the seven-style sword formula in his heart, and didn't listen carefully.

After a while, Eunuch Li's male duck voice sounded: "His Majesty's oral order, let's start the banquet."

At this moment, Song Yuanxuan was awakened with a start. He lowered his eyes and watched a famous court lady bring a variety of food.

Among the five great chefs in the capital, three are in the palace, so these dishes look extremely delicate.

It's just that Song Yuanxuan didn't really look forward to this imperial banquet. After all, Zheng Dong'er was considered the top among the five chef gods, so he was already very picky about food.

Of course, the advantage of the Imperial Cuisine is that it is extensive, and it can be dabbled in various cuisines. This is something that Zheng Donger is not as good as, after all, she does not have such an opportunity.

Fortunately, Song Yuanxuan also taught her a lot of dishes during this time, and she learned more dishes, but even Song Yuanxuan didn't know much about the dishes in the palace.

In the main hall, a burst of music sounded, with a bit of joy, a group of dancers came up, with flowing sleeves, twisting their waists, dancing, with an ancient style.

Song Yuanxuan's eyes fell on a group of dancing girls. These girls were as graceful and slender as willows.

It's just that he has seen stunning women such as Su Xuerou, Feng Yungu, and Zheng Nan'er, so when he looked at the dancing girl in front of him, he didn't have much emotion.

Yuan Yuhan walked in from one side, walked all the way to the most central position, and sat beside Yuan Hao and a woman.

The woman is graceful and noble, with good looks, but she is not young. She wears a crown of dragons, phoenixes, pearls and emeralds, a red long-sleeved gown, a scarlet peacock, and a long red skirt.

This is the queen of the dynasty, that is, Yuan Yuhan's biological mother.

Sitting on the other side was the Empress Dowager Lu, she was not very old, her skin was like snow, her body was plump, she was dressed in palace attire, she was about 40 years old, but she looked extremely glamorous, as if she was in her 20s.

Crown Prince Yuantai, Cheng Wang Yuanmeng, Chu Wang Yuanhe, and Yuan Jia were all impressively present, and their gazes fell on the main hall with a bit of a smile.

Yuan Yuhan's gaze was a little wandering, obviously not too interested in singing and dancing, and he cast his gaze on Song Yuanxuan from time to time.

Lu Qingchen raised his wine glass to Song Yuanxuan and said, "Brother Song, I would like to toast you. The coming year will be smooth sailing."

Song Yuanxuan nodded, clinked glasses with Lu Qingchen, and then said softly: "I also wish Brother Lu an early promotion! By the way, Brother Lu should be engaged, right?"

Lu Qingchen smiled slightly and said: "I'm engaged, not long ago, the daughter of the Wang family of Yingshan."

Song Yuanxuan was taken aback, there were not many princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, after all it was only 50 years since the founding of the country, when the country was established, there were not many people from the Yuan family who could survive, and now there are about seven or eight princes.

King Yingshan is Yuan Hao's uncle, but his age is about the same as Yuan Hao's. He has three daughters, two of whom are married.

"Congratulations, Brother Lu, Princess Changyou has a virtuous reputation, and she should marry a virtuous wife!" Song Yuanxuan cupped his hands.

Lu Qingchen returned a salute, and the two of them drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

King Yingshan has outstanding abilities and a great reputation. He is entrusted with Yingshan in Ningzhou, and manages the whole Yingshan to be extremely prosperous.

Song Yuanxuan narrowed his eyes. This marriage has made the Lu family's reputation stronger and stronger. I am afraid that there is no other family more prosperous than the Lu family in Da Zhou except the Yuan family, but this is not necessarily a good thing. .

The dance music in the hall has changed one after another, but for Song Yuanxuan, it is the same.

Most of these dance music came from the court, and a small part came from the gifts of certain princes. Just like this, while eating and watching, nearly two hours passed.

A eunuch's voice sounded in the hall: "The last song, Jiaofangsi dances, Huashu!"

Song Yuanxuan's heart moved. Feng Luan of the Jiaofang Division had been composing dance music. He originally wanted Zheng Nan'er, Zheng Dong'er and Luo Qingcheng to play, but he packed up and took away all the Luo family members. Unexpectedly, the dance music was still composed.

A group of women came in, Song Yuanxuan also saw Feng Luan in the distance, he knelt near the door of the main hall, watching carefully.

Noticing Song Yuanxuan's gaze, Feng Luan was overjoyed and smiled at him.

The looks of these women are still quite beautiful, and there are a few differences in their dancing movements. Compared with the previous dance music, this time the dance music looks a little more solemn and heroic.

All eyes in the hall fell on the dance music. They were used to the soft dance music. This kind of dance music is undoubtedly very outstanding. Song Yuanxuan admired Feng Luan in his heart. This is a talent.

After the dance, a woman's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, this dance music is interesting!"

The woman has picturesque features, a white dress, and a thin face, but her figure is ups and downs, and her appearance is even second-class. She can't tell her age, and she is rich and powerful.

Among all the women in the entire hall, the only ones who can compare with her in beauty are the Empress Dowager Lu and the Empress.

"As long as Concubine De likes it, a thousand gold rewards will be rewarded!" Yuan Hao raised his voice.

Song Yuanxuan's heart moved, it turned out that this was Concubine De, she would never be so young as she appeared on the surface, after all, she was Cheng Wang Yuanmeng's biological mother.

"Empress Defei, I heard that this dance music could have been more perfect, but it's a pity that there are fewer people." Li Tianning's voice sounded.

"Oh? I don't know who is missing? How can the people of the Jiaofang Division say that there are fewer people?" De Fei's voice sounded, with a bit of carelessness.

Sweat came off Feng Luan's face immediately, and he glanced at Song Yuanxuan rather vaguely, but he was very calm.

Li Tianning brought up this matter at this time, it seems that he still put Yaju's matter on his head, but recently his staff has decreased a lot, that's why he took the trouble personally.

"The old minister heard that Song Yuanxuan bought dozens of women, otherwise the dance music would be even more beautiful." Li Tianning's voice sounded.

Concubine De curled up her lips and said loudly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Song Yuanxuan to present the people again and re-choreograph the dance. This kind of dance music can be reserved for the palace's celebration dance."
