At a time like today, it cannot be said that there is no opportunity. Thinking of this, the ladies immediately became happy. After all, they all planned to perform well today, and now they value it even more.
The dancers in the palace are performing now. No one wants to take the first step. After all, no one wants to be the first to end. What if she is suppressed by the people behind her? After a few more shows, who would remember her
After Beibei sat down, she looked for someone, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find anyone. She couldn't help but frown, and when no one was paying attention to her, she quietly came to Xiaoman's side.
"Auntie, Auntie, why didn't I see Jiang Hu today? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Jiang Hu won't come back for the New Year? They haven't seen each other for several months. Bei Bei was still a little curious, after all, she and Jiang Hu had agreed to spend the New Year together.
Could it be that Jiang Hu went to Xianyou Town? But that shouldn't be the case, she had already told Jiang Hu the news. Xiaoman looked at Beibei: "You little girl, you came back for a few days, but you didn't take the initiative to come and see your aunt. You finally came on your own initiative, but you didn't come to see me, but to find Jiang Hu instead."
As she spoke, she reached out and poked Beibei's head, with a doting look on her face. Beibei reached out and held Xiaoman's hand: "Ah, auntie, you are the best. I saw you, but I didn't see Jiang Hu, so I just asked."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "Are you really just asking?"
Beibei nodded: "Of course I'm just asking, after all, I can't do anything else."
Actually, there was one thing she hadn't done yet! The casino still owed her fifty thousand taels of silver! She had to find a chance to get it back.
Xiaoman looked at Beibei's confident look and laughed: "It seems that something unexpected happened, so he hasn't come back yet. I guess he will be back in a few days."
Since there is news, there is no need to worry. Beibei nodded with a smile and touched Xiao Yuanbao's head: "Xiao Yuanbao, go play with your sister, okay?"
Xiao Yuanbao looked at Beibei with a smile. In his memory, this sister was not seen often, but he still liked her very much. He stretched out his hand to Beibei: "Sister, give me a hug."
The almost five-year-old kid is so cute. Beibei picked up Xiao Yuanbao and said, "Auntie, I'll take him over to play."
Xiao Yuanbao was sent to Mingyue Island to study before, and now he was sent to live with Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning only because of the New Year.
"Xiao Yuanbao, what do you like to do recently?"
Holding Xiao Yuanbao, he came over and sat down. Nan Nan also looked over, reached out and touched the top of Xiao Yuanbao's head, then asked him.
What do you like to do recently? Little Yuanbao laughed and said, "I like to chase after Second Grandpa's chickens."
Uh! Isn't this the same hobby as their brother and sister? This is to train Xiao Yuanbao's reaction ability, eyesight, and light skills.
Seeing this boy reminded me of when they were studying in Mingyue Island. I suddenly felt nostalgic. Now they are all grown up. Nanbeibei looked at each other and asked, "Is chasing chickens fun?"
Little Yuanbao looked at the two of them, smiling with eyes curved: "Well, Second Grandpa said that I am more annoying than you two! But Second Grandpa likes me very much, and always roasts chicken for me. He has never roasted chicken for you guys, has he?"
That's true. The chickens they caught were roasted directly by them. There was no need for Second Grandpa to do anything.
With the addition of Xiao Yuanbao, Nan Nan and the others had a very pleasant chat. After all, they all like children.
"Come here, Xiao Yuanbao, let me introduce you. This is Sister Xiaoxi, and this is Sister Suixin. They are all sisters."
Little Yuanbao looked up at the two of them, then looked at Beibei and Nannan, and pointed at Fang Xiaoxi: "I like Sister Xiaoxi, Sister Xiaoxi, give me a hug."
Hey! Did he like me the moment he saw me? Fang Xiaoxi knew what was going on and looked at Xiao Yuanbao: "Oh? Why does Xiao Yuanbao like me?"
Logically speaking, Cao Suixin is cuter than Fang Xiaoxi, and should be more popular with children. Little Yuanbao smiled and said, "Because Sister Xiaoxi smells good, I like her."
If any adult said this, they would be beaten. But when Xiao Yuanbao said this, it sounded very nice.
"You have a very sensitive nose. Let me tell you, your sister Xiaoxi's cooking is really delicious. If you have time, come with us to the palace and ask your sister Xiaoxi to cook for you."
Xiao Yuanbao picked up a dessert on the table and placed it in front of Fang Xiaoxi: "Sister Xiaoxi, take a bite. Is your dessert as delicious as this?"
Fang Xiaoxi was not polite. After taking a bite, she nodded and said, "Yes."
Little Yuanbao smiled instantly: "Okay, I'll go to your house with my sister after we finish, okay?"
Beibei frowned: "No, little guy like you can really be seduced by a little delicious food."
Little Yuanbao said seriously: "It's not just delicious! It's very delicious. I'm very picky about food."
Nannanbeibei laughed when they heard this. The prince also looked over here and was very happy to see Xiao Yuanbao, as he thought this was also his younger brother.
Mu Yeyin looked at Xiao Yuanbao with some envy. Because of his age, Xiao Yuanbao seemed to be more favored. When he came, everyone gathered around him to make money.
When I was having fun with the child, I heard a pleasant voice coming over. It turned out to be the famous playboy in Kyoto, Prince Ling.
"Your Majesty, this program is unchanging and meaningless. Why not let Ling Yue perform a show to liven up this great day?"
Everyone thought that today's occasion should be a day for the daughters of various families to perform well. What happened now? A man actually stood up, and he was a prince.
The emperor glanced at Ling Yue. Ling Yue, isn't this the prince of Linghou Mansion? A dandy boy, could it be that he learned some acrobatics among the people? Before the emperor could express his opinion, a voice was heard.
"Isn't this the great playboy Ling Shizi? You learned some tricks from those low-class people, and you want to show them off in front of the emperor?"
How could such a good opportunity to show off be given to a playboy like Ling Yue? As soon as this person finished speaking, laughter rang out from many places, probably all of them were making fun of Ling Shizi.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. As expected, no matter what time it was, the competition in the court was always so fierce.
The emperor coughed twice and looked at the person who spoke: "Why? You also want to come up and perform a show?"
Gu Xiangning stood up at this time and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, today is a good day anyway, isn't it just a performance? The two princes both want to show the emperor something good, so why not have a competition."
"Prince Ling and Prince Qin, what do you think? You two can have a competition. Everyone is the judge and each one has one vote. Whoever likes a certain program will vote for you. Whoever gets the most votes will win. Of course, the winner will win because the emperor will pay for the prize."
The emperor's mouth twitched. This Gu Xiangning never forgot to trick him. But he could still afford the prize, so he laughed and said, "That's right, the prize is a place in the Imperial City Duwei Army."
The quota for the Imperial City Duwei Army is no joke. Those who can become the Imperial City Duwei Army are considered to be the emperor's confidants.
However, these two people are both princes, but one is the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, and the other is the prince of the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's Mansion has been in decline since it was not yet in control of the world. It rarely comes out to show its presence.
The Qin family is considered to be a relatively powerful family, and it is possible to compete with Ling Shizi. Ling Yue frowned, his performance was not important, the important thing was to bring Ling Qiniang up.
Thinking of this, Ling Yue nodded: "What the Prime Minister said is right. Since everyone wants to watch it, let's bet. I think Prince Qin will not object. If you look down on my performance that I learned from the market, you should perform a good one."
This is a provocation to me. Prince Qin snorted: "Let's compete. I am not afraid of you. Do you want to go first, or should I?"
Prince Ling was indeed a little worried. Of course, he was not worried about himself, but he was worried that his sister would be frightened. However, he was already in a dilemma, so he decided to fight for the first place.
"I was the one who first proposed it, so of course I went first. Prince Qin is not confused, but he is worried about being defeated by me, right?"
Prince Qin snorted coldly: "You, let you go first, so that when I win, you won't say that I bullied you."
While the two people were arguing, the queen had already arranged for someone to go down and distribute a deck of cards to the ministers who were eligible to choose.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao got two cards. After taking a look, they saw that there were two decks of cards in total. It seems that there are quite a lot of people voting.
Prince Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Since you said so, I won't be polite. Whoever goes first will go first."
As he spoke, Prince Ling bowed to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, Ling Yue will go downstairs to prepare first."
The emperor nodded. Seeing Ling Yue so serious, he was looking forward to the show. The queen beside him also looked expectant: "I wonder what kind of show Prince Ling has prepared?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw people below carrying up several drums and a guqin. After taking a look at Fang Xiaoxi's clothes, Ling Qiniang also turned around to change into a similar dress, and then walked towards the guqin leisurely.
Everyone was surprised to see Ling Qiniang on stage. This was a performance by a brother, and he didn't forget to bring his sister along.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also saw Ling Qiniang, the girl who looked similar to Fang Xiaoxi. Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Yes, they look similar, but the look in her eyes is a little unpleasant."
