The little princess thought of the dry "longevity" character embroidered on her empty piece of cloth, and then looked at the picture of a hundred years of life embroidered with gold thread by the woman in the harem in front of her. The imperial concubine was very annoyed.
This woman must have heard from somewhere that she found someone to do embroidery as a gift, and then came up with this idea. She thought about it carefully, and felt that she had never offended the imperial concubine, but this woman actually embarrassed her so much now!
After the little prince poked his head and saw the picture of a hundred years of life, his handsome face also stiffened slightly. He realized that the gift his fiancée brought was also an embroidery, but the picture of a hundred years of life was sent first. The one that Dai embroidered was out of his hands at all, and there was no way to quickly find any gift to replace it right now, so he was a little flustered for a while, it would be bad if it caused the emperor's dissatisfaction.
Just when the little prince was in a state of desperation, the little princess suddenly challenged the imperial concubine. She coughed a few times, got up gracefully, approached the picture of a hundred years of life, opened her eyes wide and looked at the imperial concubine, and then glanced at the imperial concubine lightly. "The gift I gave to the emperor is also embroidery, but it's not as good as this. Is the imperial concubine embarrassing me on purpose?"
The implication in these words was obviously making trouble out of no reason, the little prince's face immediately darkened, he didn't expect her to be so ignorant of the rules, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him directly! Even if the imperial concubine really did such a thing, she would be considered petty if she said it in public.
But the woman didn't seem to be aware of this problem, and the young prince couldn't get angry at her in public, so he stretched out his hand and pulled her back to the chair.
He was relieved to see her sitting in the chair well-behaved. I thought she wouldn't talk too much, but who knew that when she lifted her red lips, a cold mocking voice immediately overflowed from that small cherry mouth, with a bit of disdain on her charming face, "What am I talking about?" wrong?!"
Being mentioned about this, the empress of the imperial concubine really couldn't hold back her face, but due to the presence of so many people, even if she was full of anger, it was not easy for her to flare up, and the little princess's arrogant and unruly temper They knew it all along, and everyone only thought that she was spoiled by the little prince, so they didn't say anything more for the sake of the little prince.
"Little Wangfei's joke is really interesting, but I really don't know about it, so I didn't say it on purpose. But it's all from my heart. I believe that the little Wangfei also put a lot of thought into it. This gift is expensive, how can it be rewarded?" It’s too late to talk about it, the emperor hasn’t seen anything, how could he despise your things, isn’t the emperor?”
The imperial concubine glanced in the direction of the emperor, and the other party nodded approvingly, "What the imperial concubine said is true."
With the approval of the emperor, she became even more proud, "How can you compare your feelings, why not the little princess take out the gift she wants to give to the emperor, maybe it is a little more novel than the old women in our harem. "
How can the little princess say that the imperial concubine who has trained a pair of iron teeth in the deep palace, was so angry that her face flushed red, and felt that everyone's whispers seemed to be mocking her generally.
I wanted to open my mouth to refute, but the little prince sitting next to her had a very bad complexion at this time, and spoke before her, with a terrifying sneer in his eyes, "Your imperial concubine, you dare to contradict me? I didn't." Taught you this!"
The imperial concubine didn't want to make the matter worse, so she had to call other people and temporarily suppressed the voice from this side.
After the little prince took his seat, his complexion became even worse, as if he was suppressing his deep anger, he sat down beside the little princess: "Don't be so embarrassing, you don't think you have caused me enough trouble?"
The little princess did not expect that the little prince would say such words to her, and sat down unwillingly, his movements were astonishing, which aroused discussions among the people around him.
At this moment, the hall was suddenly silent. Everyone saw that Prince Ning and Concubine Ning walked into the hall slowly, and their graceful and luxurious temperament radiated from the inside out with their slow steps.
Behind them were two beautiful girls, one of them was Chang Zhen and the other was Ling Yao.
When the emperor saw Prince Ning coming, a smile appeared on his face immediately, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I don't know if my brother will be safe or not?"
Prince Ning wore a dark green robe, which made him look very heroic even in his middle age. He walked up to the emperor with vigorous steps, and after saluting, he looked around, his eyes resting on the people who were staring at him curiously. It took a while to turn back, and then smiled at him with cupped fists, "Brother Huang, don't hang up when you are safe! Haha."
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood today, and his words were a lot more casual, "You are late today, and I, as the birthday star, will punish you with a drink, why don't you?"
Prince Ning took the wine handed over by the emperor and drank it all in one gulp. The two of them drank a few more glasses and chatted a few words, but they still felt that they were not satisfied. Chang Zhen and Ling Yao followed him and greeted the emperor and the other concubines. After they were seated, Chang Zhen was assigned to Cheng Xuelan's side by accident.
Cheng Xuelan has always been hailed as the number one talented woman in the capital, but since Chang Zhen came, her limelight and fame have been suppressed by her, because many people say that Chang Zhen's literary talents are better than hers, and she is also a few years old. I saw Chang Zhen at the poetry meeting, and her words were really wonderful, but in her opinion, they always lost a bit of magnificence.
Chang Zhen didn't know Cheng Xuelan very well, and she had only met her a few times, so she didn't expect her to have such thoughts, so she quietly sat by her side, and the two of them didn't talk to each other.
Seeing that everyone has already taken their seats, the imperial concubine cleared her throat, exchanged a glance with the emperor, and found that the other party nodded to her, and then said with peace of mind: "Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, I believe that all the girls present here are very happy." You have brought your own unique skills and want to show them off, so let’s each show off our talents, there are a lot of people here today, and maybe we can meet our own good husband.”
The faces of the girls who said these words were blushing, indeed, many of them wanted to take this opportunity to come here to find their husbands, and this show was naturally like these men showing how versatile they are , can sing and dance, to win their favor. After all, the people who can participate in this banquet are people of high status. Among them, the son of the general, Lord Hou, and the sons and brothers of wealthy businessmen and big businessmen all participated. Almost every young lady wants to show herself with all her strength. It can really make some of them decide on a lifelong event.
