Gu Qiancheng dug this hole too hard. If Xiao Xian mainly refused, it would be tantamount to offending the Empress Dowager.
The tone was not serious, but it made people's hearts palpitate for no reason. All the ladies knew that there was another good show, and they all sat upright.
Gu Qiancheng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the people who were looking down. Wherever his eyes went, everyone avoided them. Only Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Jiao smiled back.
The voice was not loud, only a few people around her could hear it, but her actions were seen by everyone.
However, before the banquet begins, one problem must be solved first, that is, where should Gu Qiancheng sit
After Princess Yonghe sat down, she looked at Gu Qiancheng coldly to see how she would solve this problem.
The little county head is young and looks young. Others only think she is cute when she makes this move. They would not say that she is unreasonable, but...
This is not the time for a talent competition at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet. The people performing on the stage at this time are either karaoke or musicians. Performing talents in public at this time will not only not be appreciated, but will be looked down upon.
Princess Yonghe's granddaughter, Princess Ruilin, said innocently after a song and dance performance: "Sister Gu, I heard that you are an excellent poet and can write small regular script with hairpins, even the emperor was amazed. I wonder if Ruilin is lucky enough to Can you see the poem written by Sister Gu in small regular script with hairpin flowers?"
Sitting in this position, she doesn't need to make any calculations to deceive someone. So what if she is so straightforward
Gu Qiancheng cannot sit on the phoenix seat, nor can he stand like the servants. If there is an additional position, it is a matter of knowledge. No matter where Gu Qiancheng places the position, people can find faults. .
That's right, she is bullying others!
The little county head's eyes were bright and he nodded vigorously: "I really want it, I really want it. Sister Gu, what kind of ink do you like to use? What kind of paper do you like? I'll have someone prepare it for you right now."
Following the words of the little county master Ruilin, the whole place fell silent. Everyone looked at the little county master and then at Gu Qiancheng. Many ladies thought to themselves: The young county master is indeed young and ignorant. Princess Yonghe can't do anything to Gu Qiancheng. She actually dares to provoke Gu Qiancheng. She is simply too courageous.
Gu Qiancheng said a few words and posed the question to the little county master. The little county master seemed to be angry and said angrily: "You want me to dance for you? Who are you, and you dare to ask me to dance?" show you."
Gu Qiancheng sneered, "Since the county owner can afford it, what are you talking about here?"
As expected, Eunuch Wu, who was beside Gu Qiancheng, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Let's have a banquet!"
However, there were not many people who could calm down and enjoy the singing and dancing at this time. Gu Qiancheng wanted to enjoy it properly, but unfortunately there were some people who couldn't see it easy for her.
The little county head looked unhappy and complained: "Sister Gu, if you don't want to write, just say no. Why are you trying to ridicule me? Your poems are worth a few dollars, how can I not afford them?"
"I... Where do I have it?" The little county owner pursed his lips, looking aggrieved, "I just want to see the poems written by the Gu family's sister, isn't this okay?"
"The county chief is willing to perform a dance for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager must be very happy." Gu Qiancheng ignored the pale face of the little county master and continued to dig holes.
Not long after Princess Yonghe sat down, four stout eunuchs came in carrying a gold-painted chair and said, "On the order of the emperor, let Miss Gu sit down."
Soon, the table in front of the ladies was filled with delicacies, but no one dared to touch it. It was not until Gu Qiancheng raised his cup to drink with everyone that everyone raised their chopsticks, but no one dared to Eat more.
"If you want to read the poems I wrote, you can buy them at any bookstore in the capital. The county boss doesn't know the way, so I can find someone to guide you. It doesn't matter if the county boss doesn't have money, I can lend it to you first. You." Gu Qiancheng said unhurriedly, his tone and demeanor seemed to be coaxing an ignorant child.
Gu Qiancheng did not answer immediately, but took the water from the palace maid, rinsed his mouth and said, "Are you ordering me?"
When there is no queen in the harem, the Empress Dowager is the boss. If she offends the Empress Dowager, she and Princess Yonghe may not even be able to enter the palace in the future.
"I want it written by you personally. I like it. I want to keep it." The little county head looked at Gu Qiancheng with a look of admiration. His big eyes blinked. His round face was so pleasing that people couldn't bear to refuse. pity…
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting me a seat." Gu Qiancheng saluted gracefully, and sat down elegantly under the service of the palace maid.
Gu Qiancheng is not a pity person.
The position where Gu Qiancheng was sitting was only one step away from the Phoenix Seat. Although he was not sitting on the Phoenix Seat, he was still looking down at everyone from a high position.
"Want to read the poems I wrote?" Gu Qiancheng put down his chopsticks and said slowly, ignoring the looks of everyone.
No matter where the emperor puts it, no one dares to find fault. Even if it is wrong, it is not Gu Qiancheng who is wrong, but the emperor.
"You... what are you talking about? The Queen Mother didn't say that she wanted me to perform a dance." The little county head turned pale, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, looking like he was about to faint.
However, Gu Qiancheng did not move. He just stood there quietly with an indifferent expression, completely ignoring the people watching the excitement below. Soon the ladies present understood why Gu Qiancheng did not They take it seriously because...
Gu Qiancheng chuckled lightly, raised his hand without saying anything, "Let's have a banquet!"
There is only a phoenix seat on the steps, and only the Queen or the Queen Mother can sit in that position. Others, even if they were favored by the emperor, were not qualified to sit on the phoenix throne, and neither could Gu Qiancheng.
Following Eunuch Wu's loud voice, the maids who had been waiting outside the palace filed in carrying food.
No matter how cute she is, it has nothing to do with Gu Qiancheng.
Glancing the little county master up and down, Gu Qiancheng said: "I heard that the county master's dance is unparalleled in the world. I want to see the county master dance. I wonder if the county master can dance a song?"
The four eunuchs carried the chair all the way to the steps and placed it under the phoenix seat, "Miss Gu, please!"
After successfully suppressing Princess Yonghe's arrogance, the others did not dare to make a sound. They sat in their seats with eyes and noses in mind, waiting for Gu Qiancheng to announce the opening of the banquet.
There were fine wines and delicious food, but how could there not be beauties? When the maids who served the dishes retired, the girls from the orchestra came out to perform songs and dances for everyone.
On exquisite porcelain plates, palace delicacies with beautiful shapes and exquisite materials are placed. In order to keep the food warm, there is a small stove under the plates to ensure that the dishes are still hot after being served to the table.
They couldn't see Gu Qiancheng's joke at all!
Gu Qiancheng looked at the little county master with a half-smile, "Don't you, the county master, know who I am? I am hosting the New Year's Eve banquet on behalf of the Empress Dowager today. County master, are you willing to perform a dance for the Empress Dowager?"
The other ladies present also looked at Gu Qiancheng, wondering where she would sit.
