First Class Concubine

Chapter 258 It's New Year's Eve

The so-called state banquet is actually a banquet held by the emperor's family, where some subordinates above the standard gather together for a meal.Just like some companies' year-end parties, tail teeth and so on.But in fact, because the emperor was present, this kind of banquet could not even exchange feelings.After all, the emperor is no ordinary boss.

And because they had to go back to their respective homes to watch the night, the banquet started early and ended early.

As the queen, Qijing was naturally present.It's a pity that there are many officials and not many officials' wives.Most of them are still bachelors... Therefore, Qijing invited those ladies from before.Of course, the head of the family and other girls in the family came with them.

Although the time is short, it can be regarded as a kind of blind date with a change of direction.

The effect is actually pretty good.

During the banquet, Le Hong went all the way to Ji Nanxing and the others.From a distance, Qijing still listened to him saying: "I'll go back to Longyi Camp after the new year is over."

Ji Nanxing smiled and said: "Your Majesty will not agree. I think these things are more suitable for you now."

Le Hong proudly said: "My fourth sister-in-law will help me."

Le Chen looked at Qi Jing with a half-smile: "Xiao Qi, don't help him, okay? You treat him better than me."

"Okay, don't help him." Qi Jing only thought it was funny.

Le Tai toasted to the two: "Should the fourth brother be able to have a few drinks now? It's such a rare festival, my brother should toast you."

"That's right, cheers." Le Chen raised his glass and drank it down.

His health has improved a lot. These days, Qijing has never slacked off on treating his body.The previous poison, also in that white light, was expelled little by little.He no longer has to worry about poisoning. As for wine, as long as it is not excessive and does not affect the mind, he can drink it to his heart's content.

It's just that his Xiaoqi doesn't like people who drink heavily.He even hated drunks... She didn't like it, so naturally he wouldn't do it.

The two drank three cups in a row, and then ate and drank, but they were restrained.

Although it is a kind of face to attend this banquet, but it is really not happy.

Suddenly, there was a burst of piano sound from far to near, followed by drum beats, and then various musical instruments sounded one after another.

Everyone looked up together, only to see that outside the banquet hall, the lights were brightly lit, and in the middle, a red platform was erected at some point.On the stage, all kinds of music converged, playing a piece of ups and downs and magnificent music.

Accompanying the music is a group of women dressed in light gauze, dancing lightly.

Whether it is music or dance, it all drew a burst of intense applause.And then, it's time for everyone to perform.It is not mandatory, as long as you are interested, you can go up and perform.

And there are many people who are willing to seize this opportunity.

There is always no shortage of singing and dancing.There were also people who wrote and painted on the spot. The most special one was a delicate little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Someone carried a big drum up there.She wears many bells and dances on drums.Drums and bells sounded, and another good tune was played.

The dance was over and the house was full of applause.The little girl was sweating from dancing, and her face was flushed.Standing on the drum, his eyes shine.Not afraid of people, he bowed to the hall and said in a crisp voice: "I heard that the most zither sound in the world is the empress. I don't know today, but I am lucky to be able to listen to the heavenly sound of my empress."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall immediately silenced.Someone looked at the little girl's family with disdain and ridicule in their eyes.Where did such an ignorant person dare to provoke the empress?

Don't you know that the last thing this big man can mess with is the empress?Offending the emperor, the emperor might not even have the interest to teach him a lesson, so he could spare his life.If you offend the empress, even if the empress doesn't bother to argue with others, the emperor will certainly.

Originally, watching this little girl dance this dance, many people thought it was a novelty, and thought that the little girl was very interesting and very good.At this moment, all the good feelings for that idea have been restrained.

Especially Loctite and Lehong.

Especially Lehong.Originally, the little girl was quite a surprise when she appeared on the stage, and her dancing skills were also surprising. She was also good-looking, and her voice was clear and crisp.

He is about the same age as Hong'er, the little guy has been staring at the girl since he was a child.

But at this moment, his brows were frowned, and he snorted heavily, and ran back to Le Tai: "I don't know what to do, I don't like it anymore."

Lejia Brothers and Qijing couldn't help laughing, they fell in love with each other before.

But yes, the little girl didn't know that she was instigated by others, so she was really naive and ignorant.I don't even look at what occasion this is, for a dignified queen to perform on stage... How big of a face does she have to have?

"Empress, why don't you speak? Are the rumors outside all false?"

Le Chen was annoyed, he didn't want to make trouble on such a day.But there are always people who don't know how to compliment, and when they are about to speak, they see Hua Qingfu standing up suddenly: "Why don't you let me sing a song for you all."

The little girl was wronged, she stared at Hua Qingfu: "Who are you?"

Hua Qingfu didn't answer, but asked the little girl's drum to be carried away quickly.As for the little girl, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come down, just carry them away together.

Hua Qingfu was good at playing the piano, and after years of experience in the army, his temperament became even better, and the sound of the piano played was enough to haunt a beam for three days.

At the end of the song, Le Chen praised him greatly and gave him a piano score written by the former qin sage.

The little girl returned to her parents, feeling wronged.But his eyes looked at where they were from time to time, and his eyes fell on Le Chen, full of obsession.When it fell on her, it was both jealous and envious.

Qijing finally saw which family the little girl belonged to, it was Miss Wang's family who had quarreled with Ji's concubine that day.At this time, that Miss Wang was sitting there, looking at the little girl with a faint sarcasm.

"This family is really interesting." Qi Jing sighed lightly, and asked again: "Have you heard of the dance on the drum before?"

Le Chen had no interest in the Wang family at all, and if he did, he was just annoyed.Hearing her words, he thought for a long time before shaking his head: "Not really."

Qijing looked at Letai again: "King Yan has traveled far and wide, and has seen a lot. Have you ever seen such a dance?"

Le Tai smiled and shook his head: "I have never seen it before."

"That little girl is really ingenious." Called Su Li: "Have someone go and find out, did she practice the dance by herself, or was someone taught her?"

"Is there a problem with this dance?"

"No." Qi Jing gave him a blank look: "I just think this dance is fresh, and I want to know more about it." The little girl was full of ambition before she came on stage, but after the previous dance, she found Le Chen's indifference and indifference. unbelievable.The mood swings were too strong, which made her curious about this dance.

The little girl's performance made her have to think about it.This dance was prepared by the little girl for Lechen.And her goal is also Lechen.Before that, she must be very confident, confident that as long as Le Chen reads it, she will definitely be tempted.For the dance, or the dancers.

What gave her such confidence, or, who made her so confident?
She originally guessed whether this dance had any connection with Le Chen.But now it seems that there is no.

This confused her, so she wanted to find out.

The little girl was not quite at ease, she kept secretly looking at Le Chen.She even tried to come up to toast in the middle, but fortunately her parents didn't see the situation clearly.But after all, he understood that after his daughter went up to perform, all the people who talked to him before stopped talking to him.So, honestly a lot.Suppressed the restless little girl.

Although the banquet had some twists and turns, it was still a success.After the banquet, fireworks were set off for a while.Then, they all returned to their respective homes.

Le Hong took Le Tai to set off the fireworks, and Qi Jing took Le Chen to see Ji Shi.Qijing originally wanted to watch the night with her, but she kicked him out.

"You are a married daughter, what's the matter with me. Go back with your son-in-law... You have a different status now, so don't lose your temper."

Qijing had no choice but to go back and let Su Yi take good care of her.

Before returning to the yard, Qijing dragged Le Chen to Mei Lin's place again, and asked Le Chen to pinch a bunch of plum branches.She hugged all the way and went back to the yard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ran Qiu popped up: "Master, Qin Che has entered the guest courtyard again."

Qijing was stunned for a moment: "Did you come secretly?"

"Yes. But... when he came in, he alarmed the guards. He didn't run away, he just said hello, and after a few days, he came to greet His Majesty."

"He's acquainted." Qi Jing snorted.

Swipe back and dye the autumn, the two chatted and put on the chess, watching the night.

"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law." After the fireworks were set off, Le Hong and Le Tai came over together, and before they came in, Le Hong shouted.

Qijing glanced at it with a smile, then looked away, and dropped his gaze.After the two of them came in, they took two red envelopes and handed them over: "Hey, I'll press the pockets for you."

Lehong laughed and accepted.Le Tai also took it with a smile, "Thank you fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law." Since they celebrate the New Year together, she will prepare red envelopes every year.

Just because they are their younger brothers, just because the elder brother is the father and the elder sister-in-law is the mother.As for those irresponsible parents, even at such a moment, they can't think of it at all.

Looking at Le Hong who is smiling happily, Le Tai smiles more and more warmly.Although it is inevitable that there are regrets in his heart, maybe there are days like this, he feels that it is very good.

Le Hong opened the red envelope, looked at a silver note inside, added a copper coin, took out the copper coin, and tied it on his belt.Le Tai also took out the copper coins and tied them up, then took Le Hong with him and left.

Although he really wanted to watch the night with the four of them, but at this time, he was not a wink.

After the two left, Qi Jing said with a smile, "You lost."

Le Chen didn't care at all: "Xiao Qi's chess skills are getting stronger and stronger, and I'm afraid no one will be able to play against you in the future."

"I'm not good at this at all." I took a booklet from the space and handed it over: "Hey, for Chinese New Year, I'll give you a storybook to read."

Lechen's heart moved, he looked at Qijing, pulled him to his side and hugged him: "Tianshu?"

"kindness."

"Put it away first, and read it later."

Qijing glanced at him strangely, "Are you scared?"

Le Chen thought for a while, then nodded lightly: "En."

Qijing squinted at him again, and opened the book page by page in front of his face.No matter how much Lechen thought in his mind, his eyes couldn't help but follow each page.It's just that the more you look, the deeper the frown becomes.

Until the last page, his brows were tightly frowned, "This is... what?"
