The emperor did not give orders, and the door curtain and canvas were not taken away. Hanging like a background. Another wave of dancing girls in bright and gorgeous costumes came up from the hall doors on both sides, and the music started playing again. This song and dance has a unique flavor with the deer in the valley as the background.
Everyone drank and drank, still laughing.
After the dance, it was almost time, and other young ladies also presented their talents and gifts one after another. Everyone who comes to the Hundred Flowers Banquet every year wants to win the attention of the emperor's courtiers or the admiration of the outstanding members of the opposite sex.
Because the major events in life are nothing more than these two: being promoted by others and becoming a successful person, and finding a good match and achieving marriage.
But there are the sacred beasts longevity lotus sent by Ming Qi, the prince's jade bed and Wu Sheyue's sacred deer in the front, and then looking at the ordinary singing and dancing gold and silver in the back, they are all a bit disappointing.
The most talked about topic was mostly the amazing scene in the darkness just now.
The things at the back were dull and uninteresting, but Wu Sheyue was still very interested.
She stared intently at so many real gold, silver and rare treasures. These good things were presented as if they were free. She secretly thought to herself that the royal family likes to hold holiday banquets and birthday banquets. Is it just to receive gifts
Gee, since there are so many wealthy people in this country, it seems that receiving gifts is enough to cover expenses!
After a while, the Queen Mother got tired of watching, and suddenly asked: "Where is Liuyun, what have you prepared for this year?"
Many people are looking at Wu Liuyun longingly, expecting her to be as stunning as last year, so that she can change this boring situation.
Wu Liuyun was shocked. At this moment, her intestines were almost green...
In the past, no matter what banquet or event she held, she would wait until the end to make her appearance, ensuring that her elegance could dominate the entire audience. And this year... it can be said that the longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for her.
But the Queen Mother had already called her, and so many people were watching. Wu Liuyun broke out in sweat on his forehead. He stood up and walked to the main hall. He said weakly: "Liu Yun... I learned a little bit of carving skills from my third sister, so, I also carve." I made a picture frame...I painted a landscape..."
Amidst the uproar of disappointment, the most beautiful woman in Longfu actually followed suit? Wu Liuyun was a little embarrassed, so he asked Yingying and a maid to move the picture frame over.
Jiang Qingxue was relatively relieved about Wu Liuyun, but when she heard these words, she was completely confused. She obviously found a pair of jade trees and corals for her daughter, how, how did she end up with Wu Sheyue... She didn't know that her daughter wanted to find another way, so she turned back and glared at Wu Sheyue, insisting that this bitch had done something again. !
Wu Sheyue had already given away paintings just now, so all the paintings and calligraphy gifts at this Hundred Flowers Banquet are basically out of the question. The Queen Mother's disappointment and boredom were clearly visible on her face. She tried to smooth things over and said, "That's it. Girl Liuyun is also interested."
The queen mother didn't say anything, so the emperor waved his hand and asked someone to come over and collect it.
However, after the eunuch took it away, he put the picture frame and other congratulatory gifts together, and the three of them didn't even look at it. Let the exquisite hollowed-out frame with extraordinary carving skills be submerged in the splendor, and it will no longer be noticeable.
She was about to say that the flowers on the frame could open and close and the bird's eyes could move, but no one was looking at her now. Wu Liuyun couldn't bear it anymore. This time he didn't pretend to have red eyes, but really couldn't hold back his tears.
Although many people were treated in this way, she was used to being aloof and could not bear the same treatment as those who were inferior to her!
She is obviously the number one beauty that everyone looks up to.
Without pride and confidence, cold people seem less mysterious and attractive. Wu Liuyun was so ordinary, like an inconspicuous member of the Yingying Yanyan in this hall.
This was a shot in the arm for the other women. They comforted themselves that it would not be any worse than Wu Liuyun's. This kind of comparison was easier to hear.
In the past, Wu Liuyun suppressed everyone, so now, even her little followers feel a little gloating about her misfortune.
Wu Lixiang had actually been holding back for a long time, and now seeing Wu Liuyun suffering a rare secret loss, she made up her mind to approach Wu Sheyue.
Wu Sheyue had already digested a lot in her stomach. Now that she had taken off her veil, she felt comfortable eating. She was trying to kill a chicken leg.
Wu Lixiang stretched out her hand and tugged on Wu Sheyue's sleeve, and said softly: "Third sister, what method did you use to heal your face? Why didn't you tell me."
Wu Jinghua stopped and she listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
Wu Sheyue ate something and asked vaguely: "My way? I don't have any way."
"Sister has such a good face, there must be some special method~" Wu Lixiang Ding and Wu Sheyue just didn't want to tell themselves, so they used their coquettish skills and cooed: "Please don't be stingy, sister. We sisters are so good, you can’t just look at the pain on my face and not help me. Didn’t my father and mother teach us to get along well with each other~"
Wu Sheyue slowly took the last bite, then threw away her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. During this period, Wu Lixiang patiently watched her finish.
Then, Wu Sheyue turned back and looked at Wu Lixiang seriously, and said lightly under her expectant, kind and lovely eyes: "Since the relationship between you and me is so good, then I will tell you."
Wu Lixiang was so excited that she heard Wu Sheyue say: "As long as you throw away all these things on your head, your face will be fine~"
"What did you say—" Upon hearing this, Wu Lixiang's expression changed, and the cuteness and coquettishness she had just pretended to fade away, and she stared at Wu Sheyue in shock and anger.
"Literally~" Wu Sheyue waved her hand boredly, signaling Ning'er to give her another cup of tea.
Wu Lixiang straightened her body and said coldly: "Third sister, if you don't want to tell me, just tell me. There's no need to lie to me like this!"
"Tsk, how can you conclude that I lied to you before you've even tried it? It's not too late to tell me after you've tried it."
"Haha, you think I will believe it?" The set Jiang Qingxue gave her was the most expensive and best thing she owned, and she actually asked her to throw it away? It’s obvious that he doesn’t like her!
Wu Sheyue took a sip of tea, feeling full and comfortable all over, and said leisurely: "You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me."
"Huh." Wu Lixiang didn't get what she wanted, and angrily turned around and ignored Wu Sheyue.
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows. When she wanted to frame others, she did everything. Now that she was uncomfortable and wanted others to be kind to her, where did she get the confidence
Ning'er lowered her head and couldn't help feeling secretly happy. The young lady had obviously expected that the fourth young lady wouldn't believe it. It was really... too bad.
—
Wu Liuyun vaguely heard those conversations. She looked back at Wu Sheyue and felt a turbid air rolling in her chest, waiting to explode. She turned around and thought about it, then summoned Cherry to come over and whisper a few words. Cherry nodded and left quietly.
As soon as Ning'er saw Tao Tao leave, she stared at her figure carefully without Wu Sheyue's instructions.
After a while, the cherries came back. At the same time, Xin Zhi also stood up with two big bear paws and said loudly: "Father, my sons and ministers also have gifts to offer."
The emperor looked at Xin Zhi with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Oh, just tell me."
Xin Zhi jumped to the center waving his arms and asked someone to bring up a tiger skin blanket with exquisite patterns, "This is a tiger I hunted when my hands were still good. I made a tiger skin blanket to cover my father." "
The queen smiled and said, "I see that Lao Ba has never failed in his martial arts. This is really rare."
The emperor also nodded appreciatively and said: "Yes, not bad."
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows, guessing Xin Zhi's next step.
Sure enough, Xin Zhi looked pitiful, like an abandoned child. He stood in front of the tiger skin blanket and sighed: "Hey... It's a pity that I have such hands... I'm afraid I won't get better in the future, and I probably won't be able to hunt or write anymore. I showed it to my father, and it would be difficult to turn the book. Every time I thought about this, my son felt very sad. Why don't I ask my father to throw his son to a remote border area, so that he wouldn't be like a cripple here? , and grandma added to the problem."
The Queen Mother frowned and said: "Laoba, why are your hands still like this? The Ai family didn't even ask you. I heard last time that it was an accidental injury? Did you accidentally injure it yourself?"
Xin Zhi knelt down with a pop and cried pitifully: "Grandma, your grandson is not injured by accident, you have to make the decision for him! My hands are useless~Father doesn't care about me! I was actually raped by a woman How can I hold my head up after being bullied?"
Wu Sheyue put her hands on her cheeks, as if she was watching a play. In contrast, Wu Hantian's face looked so bad. He clearly knew that Xin Zhi was evil-minded, and all the earnest talk before was in vain.
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor in surprise, but the Emperor was impatient. Everyone knows the shame and is still spreading it here. The envoys from the Ming Qi Kingdom are still here. How could he have such a stupid son...
The other princes and princesses all pursed their lips and snickered. Anyway, Lao Ba has always been the least promising among them, so why worry about being unable to hold his head high in the future.
The Queen Mother asked Xin Zhi: "What's going on?"
The emperor sighed and called directly: "Wu Sheyue."
"Yes." Wu Sheyue got up and came to the palace. She had been hiding and hiding about this matter, but it still came.
The Queen Mother looked at Wu Sheyue below, still a little hesitant and weird. She had thought of too many things today, so she didn't want anything to happen to this little girl for the time being.
Everyone in Long Fu already knew that Wu Sheyue had a strange engagement with the Eighth Prince when she was stupid. So everyone looked at them curiously, wondering how many "surprises" Miss Wu San had in store.
As soon as Wu Sheyue came forward, Wu Liuyun secretly loosened his hand that he had been holding tightly. Okay, even if a rash can't kill you, let's see how you can survive after hurting the royal family and nobles! Her tender palms left a row of deep crescent-shaped marks, but she didn't seem to know the pain. (To be continued)
