Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 224 Life is like a play all depends on acting skills
In the imperial garden, there is still the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing.Everyone concentrated on appreciating the performance of singing and dancing, or listening to comments, but it was a peaceful atmosphere of singing and dancing.

When Chu Yu and Qu You appeared again, everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look.

"My son came late to the banquet, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

It's late, you just went out and came back again.

"No problem, take your seat!" Emperor Ming Hui glanced over Qu You, seeing that her expression was as usual, he felt a little more relaxed.

"Princess An Fengxia of the Mausoleum of the Great Qin Kingdom, I have met His Majesty Minghui of the Great Chu Kingdom." An Fengxia stepped forward and bowed gracefully.

"This is the princess sent by the Great Qin Kingdom to marry her. How could she come so late?"

"I really don't understand etiquette. There is no comparison with that Princess Feng'an."

"She didn't come until the palace banquet was over, did she come to clean up the dishes?"

Discussions rang in Ling An's ears, she looked around blankly, then pulled the corner of her mouth lightly, and smiled slowly, "Your Majesty, please forgive Ling An for being unreasonable, could it be... this is Chu State's Hospitality?"

In an instant, the garden was silent, except for Bai He who was still grinning, the other countries all shut their mouths.Although the Qin State has been in civil war for a long time, the remaining prestige of a great country will last forever.It's not that they are afraid, but that this skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so they have to guard against it.

"Sister Huang, what are you doing? As a princess of a great country, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette? You were absent for no reason first, and then you broke into the palace for no reason. At this time, you can still yell here. It's really embarrassing! I am the face of Qin." Princess An Lingyan of Feng'an slapped the table with her little hand, stood up and scolded loudly.

An Fengxia smiled sarcastically, and slowly said: "Younger sister is really majestic, those who don't know think you are the master of this palace."

"You..." An Lingyan held her hands tightly, and a gleam of coldness flashed across her eyes that were as charming as An Fengxia's. Since you have invited yourself to be the princess, don't blame me for being rude!

The scene froze for a moment. The two sisters were fighting each other, and it seemed that neither of them wanted to retreat. Emperor Minghui coughed and looked up at Princess Ling'an kindly.

"Princess Ling'an has come from a long way. I will do my best as a landlord and invite the princess to sit down." After speaking, he turned his head to signal the palace servants.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I can just sit next to Princess Rui..." After finishing speaking, he led someone to Qu You's side, "Sister You, I'm sorry for disturbing you!"

Qu You stared at An Fengxia dumbfounded, until she sat next to her and patted her forehead. She shouldn't be soft-hearted. No wonder Master Zhang's mother said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive others. Damn it, The ancients do not deceive me...

Just when everyone was wondering about the relationship between Prince Rui and Princess Ling'an, the eighteenth princess named Lianhua, Chu Yuan, jumped up and rushed towards Concubine Lian, "Mother, Concubine Yuan, I want to hug you."

This scene made everyone dumbfounded, but no one would say anything. Princess Lianhua is still young, and her Majesty is more spoiled. Occasionally, the gestures of some young daughters will not arouse criticism for her. People think that she is innocent in nature and pure in heart.

"Look at you, you don't have the slightest demeanor that a princess should have. Be careful your father punishes you!" Even after seeing Chu Yuan, Concubine Lian's eyebrows were filled with joy.

"Mother and concubine are used to scaring me with father, and father is not willing to reprimand Yuan'er!" What Chu Yuan said is true. Although the requirements for those princes are relatively strict, Emperor Minghui treats these princesses with respect. But it is very beloved.

Although it is not as conniving to Chu Yu, it is more of another kind of "care and protection" of being a father.Otherwise, the princesses would not have left the cabinet at this age, and they still lived a very nourishing life. At this moment, they finally discussed marriage, and they were selected out of thousands of choices, without the slightest intention of perfunctory.

"Where did Yuan'er go? Why did you come back now?" The queen's voice suddenly broke in.

"After returning to the mother, the concubine's sister-in-law is not feeling well, and Yuan'er has been with her all the time." After finishing speaking, she smiled "thiefy", with a completely childish attitude, which is hard to be suspicious.

"It's the concubine's sister-in-law, but why do you look at yourself?" Qu You looked up in confusion.

"Oh? Our Yuan'er has become a little adult now, and can take care of others?" I don't know if it was deliberate, but Emperor Ming Hui cut off the Queen's unfinished words.

"That's right! Yuan'er is sensible, and Brother Yu promised me that I will go to the palace to spend more time with the concubine's sister-in-law!" Chu Yuan's tone was full of "smugness", which made everyone who heard it laugh for a while.

Chu Yu: "..."

When did he say such a thing? !

Everyone immediately understood, it turned out that Prince Rui and Princess Eighteen had been together the whole time, after all Princess Eighteen had said so, how could a child lie!

No matter how different these people's minds are, the singing and dancing in the hall is still full of beauty, dancing gracefully with the orchestra.

At this time, the music point in the hall suddenly changed, and the singing and dancing that had been tender and tender suddenly became chaotic and powerful, and a group of dancers re-entered from outside the hall.The leader has exquisite eyebrows, but she is a bit heroic. She is dressed in a black dance skirt, which makes the whole person look cold and chilling, which makes the group of people who are used to seeing "Zhu Zi Yan Hong" feel fresh.

For a moment, all eyes in the hall were attracted by him.

With the sound of the drumbeat, she threw out the water sleeve on her wrist, but it turned out to be a section of bright red silk, like a gushing fire, and went straight to the surrounding drum stands.

With a sound of "boom", the sound of the drum seemed to hit people's hearts directly, with an endless sense of shock and depression, which made people feel inexplicably tragic.

As the drums became more and more dense, the woman's movements became faster and faster, until finally, everyone felt dazzled.There is only a smear of ink and a section of bright red dancing between the eyes, lonely and clear, but it seems to have infinite surging passion, burning the last enthusiasm.

As soon as the dance was over, the group of dancers was about to leave the stage, but everyone was a little bit unsatisfied for a while.

Qu You's eyes slowly sized up the women in the hall... She had seen the Water Sleeve Dance before on TV, but she had never seen such a tragic and majestic Water Sleeve Dance.Since this dance is called Shuixiu, it has always focused on the unity of body and rhyme, swaying body posture, and flowing movements, which is the most beautiful dance posture.

Clothes are always simple and elegant, so as to have a soft and elegant feeling.

But today this woman is wearing dark dark clothes with bright red silk, but this look is refreshing, not to mention her novel dancing posture, although her body is delicate, she gives people a sense of full strength.In addition to her outstanding appearance, she is even more heroic. After this sleeve dance, this girl will definitely become a "superior person".

"This dance is really novel and interesting, appreciate it!" Emperor Ming Hui was so happy, immediately a young eunuch led a group of people down to receive the reward, but the only woman who led the dance remained standing in the hall.

"What's your name?"

"The maid's name is Lin Fang'er."

Courtesy? !
Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.Since she called herself a "courier's daughter", she must be the daughter of a courtier, and then thinking that her surname was Lin, everyone immediately turned their attention to Zuo Xiang Lin Ziyang.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is not talented, but she just made a fool of herself." Lin Ziyang got up, walked to Lin Fanger's side, and explained to Emperor Ming Hui who was above him.

It turns out...it's really the daughter of Master Zuoxiang!Then why is he doing this?
"My daughter was far away in Luyang before, and she hadn't seen the true face of the emperor, so she specifically asked her father to perform a dance at today's palace banquet to show her respect for His Majesty."

Thinking about it, no matter who it is, they all like to be praised, and the emperor is no exception.As soon as Lin Fang'er said this, Emperor Minghui really had a smile on his face. He was usually very elegant, but now that he smiled, he felt more approachable, and he was completely different from the emperor who held the power of life and death.

"Your dance is quite interesting, it's not as clichéd as before."

"My daughter choreographed this dance because she witnessed the day and night drills of my border guards on the way to Beijing, and she felt something in her heart, so she made this dance." Lin Fang'er's voice was very clear, and her eyes were full of men's " Ambitious in all directions."

It is the first time for an ordinary woman to see Tianwei, how can she be so generous, for a while, people can't help but look at her with admiration.

"Besides, the courtier also intends to use this dance to express her admiration and gratitude to Prince Rui." After finishing speaking, Lin Fang'er turned to look at Chu Yu.

But the latter was completely oblivious to wiping the corners of Qu You's lips, as if he hadn't noticed that he was "nominated" at all.

Although the dishes on this palace banquet are complete in various colors, they are difficult to adjust to everyone's taste, and Qu You doesn't like to eat, he doesn't force it.Just look at using less so that you don’t have an empty stomach. Eat some fruit now, and have a good "full meal" after returning home.

Seeing Chu Yu ignoring him like this, if it was an ordinary woman, I'm afraid she would have been "shame and angry".But Miss Lin still stood there calmly, without any sign of embarrassment.

"Your Majesty protects the family and defends the country, and expands the territory for the people of the Great Chu Kingdom. Now that the people can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age, it is needless to say that His Majesty is wise and wise. If there is anything else, the Lord's contribution is naturally indispensable."

quiet……

Seeing that Chu Yu still didn't answer, Lin Ziyang's "old face" suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Qu You really felt that the scene was too embarrassing, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to gently tug on his clothes under the table, signaling him not to be so indifferent.

"Ah."

Ok? !

A daughter said so much, and you only replied with "huh"? !

Even Qu You couldn't help but feel that this conversation was too "horrible". Even if he didn't like Lin Fang'er in his heart, he couldn't help but smile at her. Like knowing each other, he didn't take Chu Yu's indifference to heart.

"The lord and the concubine are deeply in love, and they are very envious of Fang'er." As soon as Lin Fang'er said this, the people in the hall were stunned.

In fact, Lin Fang'er is not the only one who envies Qu You in Luoning City, but everyone else is too embarrassed to say so.But this girl not only said, but also in front of the public, in front of the real princess, she appeared bright and aboveboard, which made people admire her courage.

"Miss Lin has great dancing skills, and her conversation and knowledge are extraordinary. It's Mrs. Lin's luck to have a girl like this." After finishing speaking, Qu You couldn't help but want to vomit, she knows this little bitch too well, this time she must There is some conspiracy.

"The princess is overrated."

After Lin Fang'er's water sleeve dance, it seemed that for a while, the atmosphere of the palace banquet was pushed to a climax, and everyone's originally sluggish interest also returned.

Pushing cups and changing cups for a while, toasting and staggering, it was very lively.

"I have heard that Mr. Song is very talented, and today I would like to compete with him. I wonder if Mr. Song will appreciate you?" The person who spoke was Mr. Xiang Shaohuai, the head of the Imperial Academy.

"Master Xiang has long been famous for his talents, and my ministers dare not be abrupt." Song Qi is now only a bachelor's student in the cabinet, compared to Xiang Shaohuai who is a second-rank student, naturally he cannot rashly offend.

"Since it's all for poetry and wine, Song Qing doesn't have to pay too much attention to it." Emperor Ming Hui's eyes slowly swept across Xiang Shaohuai, but he didn't say anything to stop him, instead he followed his will.

"In that case, Lord Xiang please come up with a question." Since His Majesty has opened his mouth, Song Qi knew that he could not shirk, so he could only accept it.

"Two apes cut wood in the mountain, ask the monkey how to saw each other?" As soon as Xiang Shaohuai said this, the expressions of some people in the hall suddenly changed.

"Saw" and "Sentence" are homophonic, Xiang Shaohuai said this, clearly calling Song Qi a "monkey", but such blatant ridicule makes people puzzled.After all, there are people who know Xiang Shaohuai well, and know that he is not such a person who likes to "watch people order dishes", but why did he suddenly attack Song Qi today?
"Let's hide a horse in the mud and see how the animal hooves!" After thinking for a while, Song Qi said calmly.

This "hoof" and "title" are also homonyms, but Song Qi's last sentence does not imply that Xiang Shaohuai is a "beast". .

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but wanted to laugh for a while, but they all lowered their heads secretly holding back their scruples about Mr. Xiang's face.

Seeing that there seemed to be annoyance on Xiang Shaohuai's face, Song Qi continued unhurriedly, "It's all for the fun of today's banquet, poetry and wine, and I hope Master Xiang will forgive me if I offend you."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Shaohuai couldn't do it even if he wanted to get angry. After all, Song Qi was gagging him with His Majesty's words, not to mention he provoked the matter, how could he lose his grace at this moment.

"Mei Kai does not make it to the Dragon and Tiger Rankings." When Xiang Shaohuai asked the question again, he pointed out that Song Qi got Tan Hualang this time with "Mei Kai twice". .

"Half moon still shines on the universe."

"Dongqi Mingxi Changgeng Nanji Beidou King is Zhaixing Han." Said, Xiang Shaohuai cupped his hands to Ming Hui Emperor.

"Chun Peony, Xia Shaoyao, Qiu Ju, Dong Meichen is Tanhua Lang." After a little thought, Song Qi replied with a salute to Emperor Hui of Ming Dynasty.

"Haha, good! Good! That's right!" Song Qi finished speaking, Emperor Ming Hui applauded unconsciously, and his eyes were full of approval.

Xiang Shaohuai at the side saw him, but kept silent. Although he didn't express any approval, he didn't say anything embarrassing again. He just took a deep look at Song Qi and returned to his seat.

Qu You looked at this scene with clear eyes, and the corners of her lips smiled faintly.

It's fun, this show is getting more and more fun!
There is no need to say more about knowledge and intelligence, but the couplets between him and Mr. Xiang today, I am afraid that he will become "famous both inside and outside".Not to mention that he is at the right age now, he is being appreciated by His Majesty, and his appearance is extremely handsome and exquisite. I am afraid that this girl in Luoning City has "hope" again.

Seeing that Qu You had been staring at Song Qi's figure, Chu Yu felt a little unhappy for a while!He reached out and gently "pressed" her waist, not much!With just one click, Qu You leaned softly on his shoulder in an instant.

Seeing Qu You looking at him in astonishment, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly lost strength, Chu Yu smiled unconsciously with the corners of her lips tightly pressed all the time.

She was about to speak to him, but suddenly she felt a commotion beside her.

"Eldest Princess! What's wrong with you?!"

"Lin'er! Lin'er!" Chu Ming looked at Yuan Lin'er who suddenly vomited continuously, his brows were furrowed in a moment of anxiety, and even his voice seemed to change the tone.

Looking at the busy scene in front of him, Qu You didn't care about arguing with Chu Yu, just looked at them calmly, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The scene became chaotic for a moment, Concubine Xian yelled for the imperial doctor, and Chu Ming even pretended to be a good husband, stopped Yuan Liner's shoulder, and sadly called out her name.

What kind of tricks is Chu Ming playing...
