Chapter 32: Palace banquet performance, someone got jealous
Under Qiao’s surprised gaze, Ji Qingwu sat down with gritted teeth.
"Brother, thank you very much."
Ji Changlin thought that Fifth Sister's violent reaction was because she felt sorry for him, and felt warm in her heart.
He thought to himself that this small punishment was nothing, he could bear another twenty boards.
"Be polite to big brother." Ji Changlin's mood improved and he went back to his yard to "recuperate".
On the second day when the emperor goes to worship his ancestors, he will hold a grand palace banquet to entertain his clan members and officials. This is a rule handed down.
Mr. Qiao also mentioned to her during the day that she wanted her to go to the palace with her for the banquet, and the man she admired would also go with Mr. Qiao.
Ji Qingwu shook his head like a rattle.
But now, she was really worried about Yuan Heng and couldn't let go. She wanted to see him from a distance.
Seeing that the time to leave for the palace was approaching, Mrs. Qiao discussed with her and said: "Xiao Wu, just go and sit with your mother. You don't have to do anything else. The palace banquet is the best in Lin'an City"
Before she could finish her lobbying speech.
"Mother, I'm going."
*
The palace banquet was held in Jiying Hall.
Ji Qingwu had his hair covered with pearls again, and pink lotus flowers were specially painted on his forehead. He put on a precious fragrant cloud gauze skirt. Under the light, the pleats of the skirt shone like a snowy moonlit night. of moonlight.
Mrs. Qiao looked at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction and said to her: "The palace banquet is divided into three seats, southeast, north and south. The east is the honor, which is where the emperor and the queen mother sit. The ladies in the palace The royal family members sit at the north seat, and the officials and their family members of the fourth rank and above sit at the south seat. "
Old Mrs. Ji has been in poor health these days, so the Ji family only has the first and second bedrooms. Attend a banquet.
As soon as he entered the majestic Jiying Hall, Ji Qingwu was shocked by the treasures that filled the hall. Just saying that the big bow hanging on the wall should be known as the divine bow. Xuanyuan Bow.
Qiao led her to sit down at a long table in the south banquet.
Before the emperor and the queen mother arrived, the house was already filled with dignitaries and their families.
All the female relatives were chatting quietly or greeting each other. Ji Qingyuan was surrounded by many ladies from aristocratic families. She gave Ji Qingwu a proud look.
"This is my fifth sister, you should have heard of it."
"Qingyuan, she really married someone before"
How many people are talking about Ji Qing A cricket cooed quietly behind Wu, but she pretended not to hear it and looked at the door with a faint smile.
After a while, Qiao Menghan came in with a man. After the man entered the door, the noise in the hall was obviously much quieter.
Ji Qingwu also raised his eyebrows and his eyes widened slightly. She had never seen a man who could wear a white robe so
alluringly.
Maybe some people wear white clothes to look chic, but this person is attractive, mainly because his face is too prominent and he has an indistinguishable androgynous temperament.
Mrs. Qiao saw her staring at her with good eyes, and Xiao Wu's reaction was not what she expected.
She said with a smile on her face: "Xiao Wu, this is what your grandfather and I see for you. Are you satisfied?"
Ji Qingwu looked at Mr. Qiao in surprise and asked: "He Is he the top talent? "
Talented and stunningly handsome, he really has everything taken care of. No wonder Mrs. Qiao said before that this man was too popular and he wanted to urge her to see him sooner.
"This young master is Li Chengxun. His hometown is in Xianyang, and he is also from a scholarly family. The palace examination will be held in a few months. Your grandfather said that his talent is amazing and he will be selected. By then, the tide will rise and all boats will be lifted. Xiao Five, you have to hurry up."
Qiao made it clear. Ji Qingwu glanced at him several times. Normally, she wouldn't be so bold, but there were not many female relatives in the audience who didn't stare at him. Looking at him.
Appreciating male lust, women are not exempt from vulgarity.
Ji Qingwu raised his lips and suddenly met his gaze.
Li Chengxun certainly recognized Mrs. Qiao. The girl sitting next to her must be the fifth young lady of the Ji family, and she was also the woman running in the corridor the day before yesterday.
He watched her smile gradually widen, her face was as bright as the moonlight, her smile was bright, and the flower on her forehead made her look like a lotus fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. Li Chengxun looked slightly stunned.
Emperor Wu Su entered the palace at this time.
A flash of bright yellow suddenly appeared in front of Ji Qingwu's eyes before she could put away the smile on her lips.
Just like that, he was caught off guard and met Emperor Wu Su's eyes again.
As if someone had caught him, Ji Qingwu’s heart beat wildly.
The appearance of this man in my eyes is no worse than that of Li Chengxun, especially the sullen look in his eyes and the sharp frown of his long eyebrows.
I want people to cut their hearts to him and let him ravage them.
Ji Qingwu suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart. He really wanted to see him so angry that he couldn't control himself.
But she immediately realized that this man was the emperor, someone who could kill her at any time.
I was angry that he was happy for a moment, but lost his head in the blink of an eye.
The two men only met their eyes for a moment, and Ji Qingwu lowered his head with guilt.
After Emperor Wu Su took his seat at the East table, the people around him did not dare to show their anger.
Li Yuzong's head was sweating even more. Long live the Lord was fine in the Qinzheng Hall earlier. He also looked at the guest list presented by the Ministry of Rites with great interest. After reading it, there was still a faint smile in his eyes.
Why do I feel so bad when I come to Jiying Palace?
Concubine Wei, who was sitting with her on the right, didn't say much. She just picked up the jug and added wine to the emperor's glass.
The Queen Mother, sitting on the left side of the emperor, also felt the heavy pressure released by the emperor, thinking that he was still angry because of the dispute between the Ji family and the censor in the court yesterday.
She was surprised and grateful for Emperor Wu Su's behavior in protecting the Ji family, but because of this, she had an even worse impression of Ji Qingwu, who was really a troublemaker who would cause chaos in the family.
As expected, Qingyuan, who has been raised by her since childhood, is better.
The Queen Mother said: "The Emperor has been busy with political affairs recently, and the Ai family has lost some weight. Today's banquet, why not invite a talented lady to perform and liven up the atmosphere."
Wu Emperor Su had no objection.
The Queen Mother glanced at Ji Qingyuan in the audience.
Ji Qingyuan stood up. She was specially wearing a concubine red Luanwei skirt embroidered with golden begonia flowers. Her whole body was as bright as the red peonies in the garden, and she was exactly the same as the beautiful and fragrant Wei Fei.
"I would like to offer you a dance."
Ji Qingyuan has been practicing this Qingping dance for more than half a year, waving the feather fan gently with both hands, moving with the musician's melody, jumping lightly.
Ji Qingwu tapped the table with her fingers. Qiao didn't ask her for advice in vain. She could taste the quality of this dance. Although this dance was beautiful, it still lacked artistic conception, which meant that the dancer's state of mind was not "peaceful" enough. , naturally I can’t dance with the feeling of grandeur and splendor.
With Ji Qingyuan as the leader, the ladies from aristocratic families who came out subsequently presented their talents, including those who painted and recited poems, and some who played the piano and flute.
Even Concubine Wei came off the stage. She held the snow sword with one hand, and her jade hand rotated flexibly. The light of the sword flashed, matching the drum beat, just like stars.
Ji Qingwu nodded intoxicated and whispered: "Top grade."
No wonder Concubine Wei is the emperor's favorite concubine. Not only is she beautiful, but her sword dancing skills are much better than those of her fourth sister. few.
Just because the girls were performing, Emperor Wu Su's expression did not soften, but instead became darker.
After so long, Manager Li finally figured out the problem.
The Holy Emperor's gaze would always inadvertently fall on a certain location in the South Banquet - the audience at the palace banquet, who looked the most carefree and content, already immersed in the performance.
Ji Qingwu: This dancing waist is not soft enough, and this flute playing is not strong enough
Emperor Wu Su: Is the Jiaojiao waist soft? Is kissing enough to make you angry?
