The nobles were very particular, and even with so many people dining together, the scene was very quiet. And everyone at the table knew that the chef of the Bingjian Palace was not something that ordinary people could hire, so they all cherished the opportunity to dine together.
Everyone was enjoying the meal very much, and they also discovered that the banquet at the Bingjian Palace was different from the others, because in all the previous banquets in Kyoto, there had never been a simple meal with ten people at a table.
Everyone was eating and drinking while watching the performance. This was something that was unexpected for the Binjian Palace. But when the food came, everyone just took a bite and felt that this arrangement was the most correct, so they just ate.
When all the dishes were served, everyone realized that they were almost full. They looked around the people around them with embarrassment and realized that everyone was about the same as them.
Qian Jiujiu also finished eating and looked at everyone: "Everyone has almost finished eating, let's go, have some tea and chat."
Soon the servants came forward and cleared the dishes off the table, and then brought up the prepared snacks, tea, etc.
The tea and snacks served had a special fragrance that made people very hungry. Many people touched their stomachs and found that they could not eat any more.
"The food made by the chef in this palace is delicious."
"Yes, it's great to have a lunch specially prepared for you to taste the delicious food. Come and try this flower tea. It's so fragrant and slightly sweet. It's really good."
After lunch, during the tea time, everyone was free to talk, and the topics were about the food of the Binjian Palace and the unique banquet style.
In the past, people did not eat enough when attending the banquet, but this time they were actually full. While talking, some ladies who did not know about the banquet learned from other ladies that there were many fun things to do.
Some people can play mahjong for leisure and entertainment, and some can listen to operas and watch performances. In the morning, Fang Xiaoxi and Xiao Yuanbao were tired of playing.
Little Yuanbao was full and couldn't sit still: "Sister, let's go to the opera."
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes and said, "We can go and watch the fun. In addition to listening to opera, there is also a dance battle stage. Let's go and see if there is any fun over there."
The dance battle stage, generally for dancing competitions, also has various talents. This is set up specially by Qian Jiujiu because every banquet there are ladies who want to have their own.
The banquet held in the Binjian Palace was indeed unique. And only the Binjian Palace had the space to hold such a large banquet.
It was a banquet, but it was as big as a market, and it was a very lively and prosperous banquet. Beibei and others' task was to go around and entertain the young ladies, and make friends with the ones they liked.
Wan Xinxin had been following Beibei and had made many friends. As she was walking, she suddenly heard a bad voice: "Do you think Princess Ankang can dance? I just saw Princess Ankang heading towards the dance battle stage."
A voice chuckled: "How could Princess Ankang dance? She practices martial arts, so beating people is fine, but dancing, forget it. But she is different from us. We need to dance to increase our status, but she doesn't."
"That's true. She is a princess. Even if she gets married in the future, there will be countless good men waiting for her to choose. Even if she is unruly and willful, so what? This is reincarnation. She has a good fate."
Bei Bei was confused, looking at Wan Xinxin and others around her: "It seems that in the eyes of these people, I am just a willful and capricious girl? Am I unreasonable?"
Wan Xinxin shook her head: "Princess, don't be angry, it's because they don't know you. Those who know you know that you are gentle and kind, how could you be willful and capricious! They just don't have good taste, but I'm also curious, Princess, can you dance?"
Beibei rolled his eyes: "What do you think!"
What a joke! Her mother's teaching was very strict. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting were all required skills. She couldn't be said to be very good at dancing, but she could do it. She had learned more than these people, but they only saw her as stubborn and willful! It was outrageous.
Wan Xinxin blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Then the county lord, do you want to slap those people in the face?"
Beibei snorted, "No, those people are not worthy of watching me dance! But I want to go and see how good those dancers are."
When it came to the dance battle, several girls from the duke's mansion, marquis' mansion and first-rank minister's mansion were all gathered here. Well, after playing enough in Merlin in the morning, they came to the yard to play in the afternoon, which was normal.
Beibei didn't recognize the person dancing on the stage at all. After all, she had just returned to Kyoto not long ago: "Who is that person on the stage?"
Wan Xinxin was the only one in this group who was in Kyoto. Since the Wan family moved to Kyoto last time, she had stayed there and had the opportunity to attend several banquets. She was familiar with the noble ladies in Kyoto.
"The girl on the stage is named Liu Yiyi, and she is from Duke Liu's mansion."
Beibei knew that there were several dukes in Kyoto, and they were all elderly people. Most of them were awarded by his royal grandfather. He just didn't expect that these people were still so active now.
It seems that her uncle has implemented benevolent policies since he came to power. Beibei looked at Liu Yiyi, who was beautiful, very attractive, and a good dancer.
Liu Yiyi had finished dancing at this time, and saw Lin Qiniang walking up to her: "Miss Liu's dance is very beautiful, it's my turn to perform next."
How could Ling Qiniang, a concubine's daughter, be so bold? Beibei and the others hadn't said anything yet. To be exact, they came very low-key, standing aside, and not many people even paid attention to them. So no one knew they were here.
Liu Yiyi was also a little puzzled: "I wonder who the girl is?"
They were having a dance battle, and the best dancer would naturally have a talent name. But the girl in front of him didn't seem to be the one who signed up just now.
Ling Qiniang smiled with a cold face: "You are so brave, I am the Lord of Xianyou Township, I want to go up and dance with you, is it not possible? Do you look down on me?"
Fang Xiaoxi was stunned when she saw what Ling Qiniang did. Not only was Fang Xiaoxi stunned, but Beibei and the others were also dumbfounded. What was going on
They all turned to look at Fang Xiaoxi, who rolled her eyes: "I finally understand why she wore clothes similar to mine. She wanted to embarrass herself. Needless to say, you will understand when you see her on stage."
Beibei frowned: "This Ling Qiniang is so bold that she dared to frame you like this. She probably just wanted to see you make a fool of yourself. She didn't know you were here."
Fang Xiaoxi's mouth twitched: "She just asked me out, but I didn't want to go with her, so I just randomly suggested a place. She probably didn't expect that you would suddenly come to watch people dance, so she dared to do it."
"When the time comes, if she doesn't admit it's her, others will just say that I didn't want to embarrass myself and wrongly accused her because we look so much alike!"
Nan Nan snorted: "No, I can tell you two apart at a glance."
Little Yuanbao also spoke up at this time: "I can tell the difference too. She is so ugly, not as pretty as Sister Xiaoxi!"
Beibei pinched Xiao Yuanbao's nose and said, "Well, it turns out that my Xiao Yuanbao is so good at flattering."
Little Yuanbao struggled to get away: "Oh, Sister Beibei is so annoying, I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth. Sister Xiaoxi is just pretty."
Fang Xiaoxi was amused: "Forget it, it's a free performance, why not watch it? I'm curious, how exactly is she going to embarrass herself and ruin my reputation."
Beibei and the others were also curious and looked towards the stage. Because Beibei and his group had just arrived not long ago, and there was a group of people below, Ling Qiniang didn't notice them at all.
When she walked onto the stage, everyone below was looking at her, wanting to see how this Lady of Xianyou Country would dance. As a result, they saw Ling Qinnan walk to the center of the stage, facing the audience, twisting her hips, and looking at the people below with a smug look on her face.
The people below widened their eyes instantly when they saw Ling Qinnan's behavior. Is this Xianyou Township Lady mentally normal? Did she run up here to embarrass herself
Beibei was also shocked, and then she became angry. Looking at the people on the stage who were still twisting and turning to make a fool of themselves, she took a deep breath and said, "The people in front, make way for me."
As soon as the word "Princess" came out, the people in front of them knew who this person was. They were shocked. The Xianyou Xiangjun above was the disciple of the princess. Now he was so embarrassed. Was the Princess angry
Beibei's expression was very ugly, and he was obviously very angry. The people in front of him quickly made way. Beibei led a group of people to walk over, and after they passed by, someone suddenly found something wrong.
"Hey, the one with a parrot standing on his shoulder, isn't that Xianyou Xiangjun? Who's that person on the stage?"
After being reminded of this, everyone saw the real Fang Xiaoxi. The one who could follow the princess was the Lady of Country, and everyone knew that Ling Qinnan of Linghou Mansion looked the same as the Lady of Country of Xianyou.
Is she so bold? Everyone laughed at the person in front of them. For a moment, they didn't know how to react. No one notified the person who was still twisting on the stage.
Beibei looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go up and capture her for me."
The two maids saw that the princess was so angry, so they naturally took action. Ling Qiniang was caught and still yelled, "How dare you, who dares to touch this gentleman?"
Beibei's face was filled with black lines: "Ling Qiniang, you are so bold that you actually pretended to be the township lady and dared to smear the township lady like this. You are finished."
