When Shi Fuxin, the three siblings returned to the uncle's house, it was almost 22:00. They never imagined that the elders in the family were still waiting for them at such a late hour.
"We did a good job opening the store today, but there is no need to wait for us to report late at night. It will be the same tomorrow."
On the way to Yixiangtang, Shi Dinghao couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.
He was very busy today and wanted to go back and rest early.
Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin were also a little confused: "Maybe... something is wrong?"
Soon, the three siblings arrived at Yixiang Hall.
In the room, apart from Mrs. Shi and other elders, only Shi Dingrong and Shi Dingxuan were present among the younger generation.
Shi Dingrong is the eldest grandson. Now if anything happens at home, Mr. Shi will call him up.
Shi Dingxuan is now the imperial guard, the most promising among the grandchildren, and he must be present at important occasions in the palace.
After Shi Fuxin and the other two people said their greetings, they sat down obediently.
What the three of them didn't expect was that Mrs. Shi and others did not ask them about opening a store, but asked Shi Dingxuan to tell them something surprising.
"What, the emperor wants to see us?!"
Shi Dingxuan looked at his sister and brother: "The emperor is also on Chang'an Street today. The emperor liked your and Miss Lu's performance very much and wants you to come to the palace to perform again."
Shi Fuyin and Shi Dinghao looked at each other a little.
Shi Fuxin asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen any song and dance performances. We just made it a little more fancy today. Your Majesty is now attracted?"
Shi Dingxuan paused and looked at Shi Dinghao: "Brother Zhao said that the emperor likes Jiulang's voice very much."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Shi Dinghao.
Shi Dinghao puffed up his chest and felt a little proud: "I have practiced my sonic skills quite well. It is reasonable that the emperor likes me."
Everyone: "..." This is a good thing to have confidence in.
Mr. Shi spoke: "Don't tell me, there is really no one in the capital who knows the sound wave skill. The emperor has probably never heard of it before. Now that he knows that Jiulang knows this skill, he definitely wants to meet him."
Hearing this, Shi Dinghao was even more proud: "It seems that I really learned this skill correctly when I first learned it."
The old man Shi looked at his ninth grandson who was outspoken and exuding vitality. He thought for a moment and swallowed the words he had prepared to give him.
Perhaps, letting Jiulang enter the palace to see the emperor in his true colors may bring unexpected gains.
When Mrs. Shi saw that Mr. Shi didn't say anything, she didn't give any further instructions. She just said: "There are many rules in the palace. After entering the palace tomorrow, you must follow Wu Lang carefully."
Shi Fuyin spoke: "Grandpa, grandma, I don't need to go. There is a song and dance performance. Sister Xin plays the piano, Jiulang sings, and Miss Lu dances. I have nothing to do."
Shi Fuxin: "Sister, you forgot, no one is spreading lotus flowers."
Shi Fuyin: "Should lotus flowers be scattered in the palace?"
Shi Fuxin: "The sky is filled with lotus flowers and the beauties are dancing lightly. This is the artistic conception."
Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Sister Yin, I'm going too. Whatever you performed today, you must do it again tomorrow."
...
The next day, under the watch of Shi's family, Shi Dingxuan entered the palace with his three younger brothers and sisters.
When Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao entered the palace for the first time, they were very curious about everything. Although they took into account the rules and did not dare to look around much, their eyes were not idle at all.
Shi Fuyin entered the palace when she participated in the talent show. She was not as excited as her younger siblings. She followed Shi Dingxuan very politely and gave her younger siblings advice from time to time.
"The emperor is tired from dealing with political affairs. He likes to go to the Imperial Garden to relax. Your performance will be held in the Imperial Garden later." Shi Dingxuan whispered to his younger siblings.
Shi Fuxin and the other three nodded to express their understanding.
Soon, the Royal Garden arrived.
Lu Jingshu was from Liyuan and was brought into the palace by the Liyuan steward early in the morning.
"Three girls, six girls."
Lu Jingshu had been waiting in the imperial garden for some time. When she saw Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin coming, she took the initiative to stand up and greet her, and then faced Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao.
For Shi Fuxin who cured her face, Lu Jingshu was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
Now it is because the Shi family siblings got the opportunity to perform in the palace for the emperor, their gratitude is even greater.
After being disfigured, her life has gone through ups and downs. She really regards the Shi family siblings as her nobles who can pull her out of the mud.
The Shi family brothers and sisters returned the gift one after another and entered the pavilion where Lu Jingshu was waiting.
"I'm going to Qianqing Palace now. You guys wait here first."
After instructing his younger brothers and sisters to stay in the pavilion in the imperial garden, Shi Dingxuan turned around and left.
Seeing Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao leisurely admiring the scenery in the imperial garden, Lu Jingshu looked surprised: "Sixth Miss, Jiuye, we are going to perform for the Emperor later, aren't you nervous?"
Shi Dinghao laughed and said, "What makes us nervous is that we are thick-skinned and can't be seen by outsiders."
Lu Jingshu: "..." She really didn't see how nervous they were.
The four of them sat in the pavilion and chatted for a while, then they saw a group of women in dancers' costumes passing by outside the imperial garden.
Shi Fuxin didn't pay much attention at first, but she noticed that the woman holding the pipa in her arms turned back and looked at them several times, and then asked Lu Jingshu.
"Miss Lu, are those dancers also from the Liyuan?"
Lu Jingshu shook her head: "Not entirely, the woman holding the pipa is Yue Wu, the head of Tianbo Sect."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin immediately looked at each other with her sister and brother.
"Head of Tianbo Sect?"
Lu Jingshu nodded: "Yue Wu plays the pipa very well, and the Queen Mother likes it very much. Every once in a while, she will ask Yue Wu to come into the palace to play for her."
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the Shi siblings, Lu Jingshu seemed to know what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Although Yue Wu is the leader of a sect, it is nothing to the royal family. Let her enter the palace to perform, and that is for her."
of grace."
Shi Fuxin and the other three remained silent.
I didn’t expect to meet the leader of Tianbo Sect so soon!

The names sound like those of brothers and sisters from the same school.
...
Because of his busy political affairs, the emperor only came to the imperial garden in the middle of the afternoon to steal some leisure time. He was accompanied by six ministers, Cai Xiaohou and others.
After everyone sat down, they began to enjoy the performance.
Shi Fuyin, Shi Fuxin, and Shi Dinghao had a clear division of labor and were well aware of their respective tasks. Lu Jingshu was also an outstanding dancer and cherished this opportunity. Therefore, the four of them presented a competition.
It’s an audio-visual feast that makes the beauty smile even more brilliantly.
After reading it, Zhao Zhiwen, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to say with a smile: "No wonder the emperor has been thinking about it. The sound of the piano, the singing, and Lu Kuaishou's dance are really eye-opening."
Gu Guoliang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, smiled and took over the words: "Master Zhao, you have said something else. Aren't the lotus flowers all over the sky beautiful?"
Zhao Zhiwen laughed and said: "Beautiful, the lotus flowers in the sky are also beautiful."
Gu Guoliang added: "The Wuchang Prefecture is really amazing. It has produced so many outstanding children, all of whom have outstanding martial arts skills."
Zhao Zhiwen: "I can't help it. I'm lucky and picked up countless martial arts secret books."
Gu Guoliang knew that all the martial arts secrets of the Shi family had been handed over to the emperor, so he could not continue this topic, so he had to talk about other things.
The emperor listened to his ministers' wits with a smile, his eyes always falling on Shi Dinghao.
Obviously, among so many people present, the one he was most interested in was this fat little fat man.
"Tokiya Kuro, come here."
Seeing the emperor waving to him, Shi Dinghao was not frightened and trotted forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, Shi Jiulang is here!"
The emperor looked a little disappointed when he looked at Shi Dinghao who was smiling dazzlingly.
Laughing: "You have a loud voice."
Shi Dinghao chuckled, first clasped his hands and bowed to the sky, and then replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, God has given you food to eat."
The emperor understood what Shi Dinghao meant, and the interest on his face became more intense: "I scolded the governor of Jingzhao Mansion just now, but now I suddenly remembered that I still have something to ask him to do. What do you think we should do?
?」
Shi Dinghao immediately said: "Your Majesty, will Jiulang help you call him back?"
The emperor smiled and nodded.
Then, a very penetrating sound sounded throughout the palace.
"The governor of Jingzhao Mansion, summoned by the emperor, come to the Imperial Garden quickly."
Shi Dinghao calmly shouted towards the palace entrance, and then looked at the emperor as if asking for praise: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion will be back soon."
The emperor looked at him, and after a while, he suddenly laughed with satisfaction: "Your voice is as good as a trumpet, very good!"
Gu Guoliang looked at the emperor's expression and said with a smile: "It would be much more convenient if the emperor has a messenger like Jiulang by his side."
As soon as these words came out, many people present looked strange.
Shi Dingxuan, Shi Fuyin, and Shi Fuxin all looked a little solemn.
Shi Jiulang was only thirteen years old, and it was the time when he was studying and entering school. It was good to stay with the emperor, but it was somewhat detrimental to his long-term development.
The emperor looked at Shi Dinghao with a smile: "Shi Jiulang, are you willing to work by my side?"
Shi Dinghao nodded like garlic, and he nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, Jiulang is willing, very willing, a hundred willing."
The emperor laughed heartily: "When you come to me, you may not be able to study in the Imperial College."
Shi Dinghao replied with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, I went to the Imperial College to study in order to take the No. 1 Scholar exam, and to take the No. 1 exam in order to work for the Emperor. If I can work for the Emperor now, then it doesn't matter whether I go to the Imperial College or not."
The emperor seemed very satisfied with this answer. He stood up and patted Shi Dinghao on the shoulder: "From tomorrow on, you and your brother will work together in the palace."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to Qianqing Palace.
The officials present quickly followed him, and before leaving, they all looked at Shi Dinghao.
After everyone left, Young Master Zhao saw Shi Dingxuan's serious expression and said in a low voice: "It's a blessing, not a curse. After you go back, tell Jiulang about the rules in the palace and the emperor's likes and dislikes."
