Chapter 239 Magic

Prime Minister Pei and Wu Qiuniang breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Shen Jintang and his daughter were back.

Not long after, a chamberlain announced loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived, Your Highness the Grand Sun has arrived."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the Imperial Garden bowed their heads and knelt down.

"I have met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."

"I have met His Highness Taisun."

A flash of bright yellow caught everyone's eyes, and the emperor walked up to the dragon chair and sat down, and said to everyone: "No courtesy, stay flat!"

Everyone then thanked them, stood up and took their seats.

At this moment, the chamberlain preached loudly: "The noble concubine has arrived, the virtuous concubine has arrived."

Everyone quickly stood up from their seats and saluted: "May the noble concubine be blessed with peace of mind, and the worthy concubine may be blessed with peace of mind."

Both the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine were accompanied by a woman.

However, the woman next to the imperial concubine covered her face with a gauze, revealing only a pair of loving eyes.

"I, my concubine, send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

"No need to pay tribute, just be normal."

The noble concubine and the virtuous concubine stood up to express their thanks, and then they each walked to sit down below the emperor.

At this time, the girl who was hiding her face next to the imperial concubine suddenly took two steps forward, saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I have a talent that I would like to show off, and I hope that the emperor can agree."

Immediately afterwards, another good-looking woman next to Concubine Xian also said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to dance with you."

When the emperor heard this, he nodded with great interest: "Okay, if you perform well, I will reward you!"

The two women immediately leaned over to say thank you, and then a servant brought her a pipa.

The sound of the pipa started playing, and another woman also stretched out her long sleeves and danced to the sound of the pipa.

Although her dance was beautiful, everyone's eyes stayed on the woman playing the pipa.

There is no other reason than this girl’s eyes are so beautiful.

It seems to be filled with autumn water and can speak.

But after looking at everyone, I realized that this woman's eyes never left Gu Baiyi.

Anyone who looks at that affectionate gaze can’t help but feel their heart beat wildly.

But Gu Baiyi seemed to be unable to feel it. His eyes either fell on the wine glass in front of him or on Shen Jintang.

Shen Jintang's family came to the banquet based on their status as Prime Minister Pei's direct sons and grandsons, so they sat closer to the front.

The position is very close to the eldest princess and the prince-in-law.

Therefore, it was convenient for Li Shuyue to talk to her.

"Jintang, this banquet is actually a banquet for the imperial grandfather to choose a noble daughter for his cousin." Li Shuyue tilted her head and said to Shen Jintang: "The two who are playing the pipa and dancing now are from the natal family of the imperial concubine. Grandnieces, one is the niece of the Concubine Xian."

Shen Jintang nodded while listening.

In fact, she already understood her feelings for Gu Boyi, and she could also feel that Gu Boyi also had some feelings for her.

Therefore, she couldn't help but look at Gu Baiyi.

As soon as she raised her apricot eyes, she met Gu Baiyi's eyes looking at her.

Deep and bright, it seems to contain thousands of emotions.

At this moment, Shen Jintang's heart seemed to skip a beat.

She paused and smiled at Gu Baiyi.

The emperor seemed to be enjoying the pipa and dancing, but in fact he was also observing the ladies in the seats below.

Pay special attention to Shen Jintang's every move.

I saw her sitting there elegantly and calmly, talking to Li Shuyue from time to time, without any trace of the vulgar behavior of a country girl.

Then she saw her eyes falling on Gu Baiyi and smiled slightly at him.

The emperor understood everything immediately.

It turns out that my grandson is not one-sided with his love!

When the sound of the pipa ends, the dance ends.

The emperor recovered his thoughts, laughed and praised a few words.

Then they were rewarded again.

With these two women taking the lead, the other girls were not to be left behind and expressed that they also had talents to offer to the emperor.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and the ladies finally finished their performances.

At this moment, Pei Jingxue, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, suddenly stood up.

Just when everyone thought she was going to show off her talents, she suddenly bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my sister also has talents to show off."

As she spoke, she pointed at Shen Jintang with her finger.

As her words fell, all eyes focused on Shen Jintang.

Prime Minister Pei's face suddenly darkened.

At this moment, the emperor's voice came from above: "That's it!"

Shen Jintang met Pei Jingxue's proud eyes and knew that she wanted to embarrass herself in public, and maybe she would offend the emperor if her performance was not good.

"Tang'er!" Pei Heng and Wu Qiuniang looked at her worriedly.

Brothers Shen Yunxuan and Shen Yunxuan glared at Pei Jingxue.

"Tang'er, if you don't know how to do it, don't force it." Pei Cheng said to Shen Jintang, "Grandpa, just go and plead guilty to the emperor on your behalf."

Shen Jintang shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa, parents, you don't have to worry."

She stood up from her seat, faced the worried, indifferent, or gloating eyes, and elegantly walked to the stage where the ladies were performing before, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, in addition to practicing medical consultation, I It’s just a trick. Please don’t blame your servant for showing off your ugliness.”

The emperor watched the singing and dancing all night, and his eyes were already very tired.

He originally thought that Shen Jintang was going to perform this type of show, but he didn't expect that she, a girl, would actually perform tricks.

I couldn't help but feel a little interested.

The back that had been leaning on the dragon chair straightened up, and he nodded with a smile: "Okay, I don't blame you, let's get started."

Not only the emperor was visually fatigued watching people playing the piano, singing and dancing, but so were everyone else.

Therefore, no matter how disdainful they were, they still felt a strong interest in them.

Pei Jingxue didn't expect that Shen Jintang could do tricks. Looking at the interested eyes of everyone, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart. She wanted to see what tricks Shen Jintang could do.

Shen Jintang faced all kinds of looks from everyone, but always had a just right smile on his face, elegant and graceful.

"My father-in-law, I would like to trouble you to help me move a table and find a piece of red cloth." Shen Jintang waved to a young eunuch serving beside him and said.

When the little eunuch heard this, he quickly glanced at the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor, several empresses, and His Highness the Grand Sun did not have the slightest objection, they quickly agreed and went on.

Not long after, the little eunuch found two people, moved a table, and brought a piece of red cloth over.
