Long Jiu lowered his head and focused on the guqin. His slender fingers rhythmically teased the strings. The music sounded brisk and joyful. Feng Xi'er pricked up her ears and listened carefully. She thought it sounded very good. The melody was a bit like those modern New Year songs.
I wonder who has better piano skills, Ghost King or Hong Jiu? Feng Xi'er suddenly came across this idea.
After the song was finished, Long Jiu stopped moving, raised his head and said to the Queen Mother: "I hope Lafayette likes this silent song that Jiuer played. Jiuer only hopes that Lafayette can recite the Buddha's name calmly, without distracting thoughts, and be healthy and happy every day." Can"
The Queen Mother clapped her hands, with a happy smile on her face: "Okay, okay, Aijia likes it very much. Jiu'er, don't be tired, come to Aijia quickly."
The Queen Mother clapped her hands, and everyone clapped her hands too. Feng Xi'er clapped very hard, and Long Jiu was definitely a piano-playing genius in modern times.
Long Jiu nodded, walked slowly to sit next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother held Long Jiu's hand cordially and began to greet him.
The Queen's hands were clenched into fists under the table. No matter how well she pretended, the Queen Mother, an old immortal, would never regard her as a member of the royal family. She tried her best to please the Queen Mother, but she could not compare to the bitch Concubine Mei in the Queen Mother's heart. Status, she originally thought that after getting rid of Concubine Mei, she could dominate the harem alone, but then a new threat appeared, and now that bitch bastard was out of the ban. He also healed his crippled body.
It is a great threat to her.
The Queen Mother attended this banquet just to hear the news about Jiu'er's release from the ban. Now that her beloved grandson was by her side, the Queen Mother didn't want to linger any longer and was about to get up and leave. She had many things to ask Jiu'er.
Suddenly he saw Feng Xi'er in the corner and remembered the time Shu Cuixin (Feng Xi'er's mother) saved her life more than ten years ago. He looked at Feng Xi'er carefully and found that she looked exactly like her mother.
The Queen Mother was a person of her word, so she remembered the promise she had made and took advantage of this opportunity to keep it. Then he asked the emperor for confirmation: "Your Majesty, is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion here?"
The emperor smiled and said: "Here you are, where are you sitting in the corner?"
After hearing this, everyone turned to look at the corner. Feng Xi'er was embarrassed by the sudden looks. She was usually more free and uninhibited, but when it came to a real big scene, her courage shrank to the minimum. , she has always been afraid of dealing with people.
Everyone was shocked by Feng Xi'er Qinglian's stunning appearance, and her fairy essence that surpassed all others without too much dressing up. The ladies were secretly unwilling to accept it, and were burning with severe jealousy.
Fortunately, Feng Xi'er reacted quickly on the spot and stood up obediently and bowed to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty Feng Xi'er sends my regards to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother good fortune and good health."
The Queen Mother nodded and motioned for her to sit down, and Feng Xi'er sat down obediently.
"The eldest lady looks very much like the eldest lady. Back then, the eldest lady saved the Ai family's life. The Ai family once promised the eldest lady the position of crown princess. I wonder if the eldest lady has someone he likes?"
Here we are, all those who were afraid are finally here. Feng Xi'er's head was spinning, thinking about how to best answer this question.
"My mother doesn't know something. Qi'er was assassinated a few days ago. The eldest lady risked her life to save Qi'er and shielded Qi'er from the sword. This shows how deep the eldest lady's feelings for Qi'er are."
Feng Xi'er hated this topic the most. The real owner really left this rolling potato for himself, which caused her misery. I couldn't help but defend myself and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that my daughter loves the seven kings so much that she can block the sword. It's because I can't help others even if they die. If it were any other prince, my daughter would risk her life to save him." Such an explanation Perfect enough, right
The Queen Mother clapped her hands and praised: "Okay, like mother, like daughter. The eldest lady is as kind-hearted as the eldest lady. Prime Minister Feng is so lucky to have such a wife and daughter."
Feng Zhengde nodded proudly and agreed with a smile, "Yes, yes, I am blessed."
"The Ai family has always kept its promises. Has the eldest lady fallen in love with any of the grandsons of the Ai family? The Ai family has made the decision for you, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise made back then." At that time, Jiu'er was not disfigured, and Concubine Mei was also deeply loved. The Queen Mother I thought Jiu'er would become the crown prince, but now the crown prince has changed and the Queen Mother has also withdrawn from the harem. The situation has changed, and the Queen Mother is not a rigid person.
Feng Xi'er thought for a moment and replied: "My daughter saved the seven kings just like my mother saved the queen mother. She didn't ask for anything in return. I don't want to get married yet. I want to honor my father for two more years."
The Queen Mother was pleased and nodded with satisfaction: "What a filial and good boy. In this case, the Ai family won't have sex. Except for Liu'er, none of the Ai family's grandchildren have married concubines. Which Ai family does the eldest lady like? The family must make the decision for you.”
The queen knew that today's time had passed, and said: "Don't worry about it, mother. I have already made an arrangement with the emperor. When the time comes, I will issue a decree to marry you. Now that the children are so old, it is time to start a family."
The Queen knew that the Queen Mother did not want to see her in her heart. On the surface, she occasionally pretended to be submissive to the Queen Mother, but when things happened, she was not that old and immortal at all. The queen is just roundabout saying that the queen mother is meddling in her own business.
The Queen Mother sighed: "Yes, the Queen has always made the final decision on all matters in the palace. The Ai family is old and can no longer take care of it, and they don't want to."
The Queen panicked and said: "Don't say that, Queen Mother. I just want to share some things for the Emperor. Even if Queen Mother is old, she will always be so kind and blessed..."
"Okay, the Ai family doesn't like to hear nice things. The Queen should tell those who want to hear it. If nothing happens, let's all leave." A look of severity appeared on the Queen Mother's kind face, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction with the Queen. Stand up and leave. In front of everyone, he didn't give the queen any face.
Emperor Lintian quickly stepped forward to persuade and change the subject: "Mother, the eldest lady hasn't performed yet? Isn't the queen curious about what wonderful performance the eldest lady will bring to the queen?"
Damn it, this dog emperor set fire to her again, Feng Xi'er felt indignant.
The Queen Mother stood up and sat down again, and asked Feng Xi'er with a smile: "What is the eldest lady going to perform for the Ai family?"
Feng Xi'er smiled smartly and lowered her eyebrows obediently: "I want to perform a congratulatory dance for the Queen Mother." After a pause, Feng Xi'er pretended to be mysterious and continued: "But... we need the help of the Queen Mother's grandchildren. That’s all."
The Queen Mother immediately became interested: "Oh? The Ai family is really looking forward to it." She turned to look at the four beauties beside her and asked with a smile, "I wonder if the emperor's grandchildren would like..."
Before the Queen Mother had finished speaking, Long Shi took the lead in raising his hands and said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, the emperor's grandchildren are very willing..." and encouraged the brothers around him. As an ally, Long Shi knew very well what Feng Xi'er's bright smile represented, and he was really curious about the next performance.
Feng Xi'er took the lead to walk to the center of the stage and asked the palace attendants to prepare five large blue feather fans. The Queen Mother was worried about Long Jiu's health, so she refused to let him go up. The four beauties looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then walked onto the stage side by side.
The palace people soon brought feather fans, and Feng Xi'er gave one to each of the four beauties. She took a handful herself.
Feng Xi'er cleared her throat, stood in front of the four beauties, and said, "This dance is actually very simple. Whatever I do, you guys just have to follow it."
After saying that, he turned his back to the four beauties, and suddenly turned around and said: "Oh, by the way, you guys have to sing along with whatever I sing, that's what makes it interesting."
