The Bai family has a daughter who wants to turn over

Chapter 110
The emperor over there said again: "Later on in the imperial garden, the imperial concubine has prepared some small games for you. You can go and participate together after dinner. Guess the lantern show. Those who guess correctly will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"...

"Speaking of guessing lanterns, I remember Ai Qing from the Imperial Academy came today." The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the crowd as he said, and the servants around him hurried forward to show the emperor where all the people from the Imperial Academy were sitting. .The emperor jokingly said: "You Hanlin Academy, it's only now that you have worked so hard to compile the historical records. Don't bother to think about it tonight. At least you can save some face for others."

All the ministers laughed out loud when they heard this, and the scene immediately became joyous.

Although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor himself said that it was just a light meal, but before the banquet started, the emperor still said some things that were handled well recently, and greatly praised the officials who handled the matter. During this period, The imperial dining room also served dishes one by one non-stop, until the emperor finished speaking, dozens of dishes had just been placed layer by layer, and the timing was very precise.

When it was time to eat, the dancers also came on stage one after another, dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo, which did not cool down the atmosphere at all.

Bai Shuangshuang looked at a piece of jade food that was prettier than the other one in front of her, but she felt that she had no appetite at all. First, Li Ran didn't show up today, which made Bai Shuangshuang a little worried, and second, Bai Mingzhu's behavior just now made Bai Shuangshuang feel a little disgusted.But when she looked around, she saw that the people around her were almost the same as her, and they were all cautious.

After the palace banquet was over, the dishes on the table were hardly moved. The more dishes were placed in the middle of the table, the less people would pick them up. Bai Shuangshuang thought it was a waste.

"Today's atmosphere reminds me of a pair."

As soon as the emperor spoke, everyone put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and listened quietly to what the emperor said.

I just heard the emperor say: "Looking at all things quietly, wanting to level the world is like a lake." The emperor smiled and looked at the reactions of the ministers: "Does any love know what the second couplet of this pair is?"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a voice came from the crowd: "If you return to the emperor, I seem to have some impressions."

The person who spoke was Bai Zhengzhong, maybe it was a coincidence, Bai Zhengzhong had seen this pair just two days ago, he was surprised and delighted when he heard the emperor's question, he immediately seized the opportunity to get up and speak, for fear of being preempted by others.

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Bai Zhengzhong with squinted eyes, and after hearing the identity of Bai Zhengzhong from the servant beside him, he joked: "Bai Aiqing, just a little impression is not enough, since you have already come out to grab this question, you can You must answer correctly, if you don't answer correctly, I will punish you with three bowls of wine."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"My lord, obey." Bai Zhengzhong suppressed his excitement, cleared his throat slightly, and recited like a poem: "The best scenery is four seasons, autumn is the best, not to mention the moon."

As soon as Bai Zhengzhong opened his mouth, the emperor nodded appreciatively. After Bai Zhengzhong finished reading, the emperor immediately said three good words: "Good, good, good! Bai Aiqing's answer is very good! It seems that Bai Aiqing has also been there. The Yueyue Pavilion in the West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Where did Bai Zhengzhong go to the Yaoyue Pavilion, but he happened to see this pair a few days ago, and he really wanted to say that he had been there, but now that the emperor asked him this way, Bai Zhengzhong could only answer truthfully: "Return to the emperor's words. , I just love reading, and I have seen it in books."

"En." The emperor nodded appreciatively: "Sure enough, it's the lecturer of the Imperial Academy, really well-read." Then he said: "Reward."

"Here." The servant beside him bowed his head in response, and then loudly preached: "The emperor has a reward! Reward the white servant for a box of dim sum!"

Although it is only a box of dim sum, it is hard to buy with a reward from the emperor, so Bai Zhengzhong immediately shouted happily and thanked the Lord Long En, and took the box of moon cakes handed over by the waiter at the side, and looked at the surroundings with a beaming face. Congratulations from colleagues.

"Report to the emperor." Shang Shuling stood up and bowed his hands to the emperor: "Today, I have received the gift of the emperor to enjoy the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am grateful for the emperor's kindness. Therefore, I have ordered my daughter to prepare a show for the emperor. I hope that I can sing for the emperor with a zither. Today's banquet adds a bit of excitement."

"Zhai Shangshu has a heart." The emperor said happily: "Then please ask Miss Zhai to present a song for everyone."

Whenever there is a palace banquet every year, there will be these programs, and today is no exception, and Zhai Yuting will not be the only one. This link is acquiesced by the emperor, and someone will make arrangements in advance.Therefore, after the emperor gave his consent, immediately there were people from the palace who came forward to set up the guzheng bracket and set up the incense burner. Zhai Yuting, who was already prepared, also walked to the front of Guangyang Hall with a blushing face.

Today's Zhai Yuting was wearing a white embroidered skirt with peach blossom makeup and a red mole on her eyebrows. Yingying walked to the front of the hall and bowed to the ground and said: "Ministers pay homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" .”

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At night, the outside of the Guangyang Hall was silent, only the sound of the piano played by Zhai Yuting lingered in the air around the square outside the hall.Almost all the people present knew something about the art of playing the qin. Just listening to the sound of the qin, you would know that Zhai Yuting is an expert. solution few.

After one song, Bai Shuangshuang seemed to still hear the clear and melodious sound of pulling the strings in his ears.When I came back to my senses, it was the same with everyone.

The emperor nodded his head lightly, and commented deeply on Di Yuting who bowed his knees and said: "Miss Di is indeed outstanding at playing the piano. This song "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" must be better than anyone in the capital."

Such a casual recognition is already a supreme honor to Zhai Yuting, which makes Zhai Yuting a little excited. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

"reward."

"The emperor has a reward! A pair of glazed earrings for Shang Shuling's daughter!"

Now even Zhai Shangshu also came forward to thank him and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

After Zhai Yuting retired, people came out one after another to perform, play the piano, draw pictures, recite poems and compose poems... The outside of Guangyang Hall suddenly became lively again.

These people called it to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but in fact, all of the women who came out to perform were on the list of this year's show girls.The ultimate goal of the current performance is only to win the top spot in the future female talent show.

After all the performances were over, the emperor sighed: "My Kang Xuan's women are indeed talented and virtuous, and all of them have talents that are not inferior to men."

"What the emperor said is true. In addition to having both talent and virtue, there is also courage and strategy."
