After hearing the Night King's answer, Charlotte finally felt a little happier. This clearly meant that Shen Yuyu was embarrassed, so the Night King's deep affection for Shen Yuyu must be an act.
Charlotte turned her eyes towards the Night King. Although the Night King still turned a blind eye to her, this must be an act. He didn't want people to see that there was an affair between them. This must be the case.
The ladies' table was quiet. Except for a few people who were close to Prince Ye's Mansion, most of them were waiting to see Princess Ye's jokes.
There were quite a few whispers in the men's area, and the young men from different houses had to whisper about which lady they liked.
The Prince and the Night King are located next to each other.
Wei Yuande brought the tea cup to his mouth and took a sip, then narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at Ji Xun.
"It seems that the Night King doesn't love the Night Princess. He couldn't help her but pushed her to the stage with his own hands, haha~" Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.
King Xuan next to him answered: "His Royal Highness, you just looked down on Princess Ye like that? Do you think she can't dance?"
"Even if you can dance, you can't compare to the Crown Princess." Wei Yuande said with a hint of contempt, "The Crown Princess is the best dancer in Daqi, and even the best dancer in the Western Regions is inferior to her."
Although he also wanted to get Shen Yuyu, on such an occasion, husband and wife were one body, the wife was honored by her husband, and the wife was humiliated by her husband. Naturally, he hoped that Xia Luoluo could compare with Shen Yuyu, and not only compare, but also He wanted to crush her forcefully, let the Night King's face be disgraced in front of all the ministers, and spread the word to make people laugh in the world. In this way, the Night King's prestige among the people would inevitably decline, and he was happy to see it.
"Then let's wait and see." The Night King looked at his woman calmly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Next to King Xuan sat two other princes who had not yet been engaged, the fourth prince Wei Xiu and the fifth prince Wei Yun. Both of them were concubines and had no sense of presence in front of the emperor or the empress. They sat quietly.
Then there were several princes of the Hou Mansion and heirs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Their eyes fell on the ladies opposite, looking at them one by one.
"Pfft~~ Is that lady in need of urination?" Zhou Mingzhong whispered to the prince of Jingjun next to him, with a look of ridicule on his face.
"Who?" Wei Feng, the crown prince of Jingjun County, asked.
"The one sitting seventh from the bottom, wearing purple clothes."
Wei Feng followed what Zhou Mingzhong expected and faced the nervous Song Miao opposite him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Really~~Which lady is this from? Isn't it too ridiculous?"
Zhou Mingzhong looked sarcastic, "Who knows? I've never seen her before, maybe she's a concubine who sneaked in."
"On the contrary, it's reasonable for a concubine to be timid because she hasn't seen big scenes." After saying that, Wei Feng moved his gaze to Shen Yuyu and whispered, "But didn't Princess Ye come from the countryside? I've never seen her before. The world is right, how can you stay calm and composed? Look at her, she is as calm as the Crown Princess."
Zhou Mingzhong looked at her twice and hummed: "She knows how to pretend, she will probably tremble with fright when it is her turn to come on stage soon." During the discussion, the chamberlain's father-in-law read out the name of a lady in a sharp voice.
This young lady came to the stage with a charming figure. She first saluted the Emperor and Queen, then bowed towards the men's area, and then said a few words to the musicians next to her, presumably choosing accompaniment.
After the father-in-law loudly introduced the young lady’s family background, the pipa played and the girl danced to the music.
There was silence in the Nuan Pavilion, and everyone quietly enjoyed this young lady's performance.
Those who can enter the palace to participate in banquets are all young ladies from high-ranking families. Who doesn’t start dancing at the age of three or four? The quality of dancing skills all depends on talent.
When the young lady finished her dance, everyone applauded to show their encouragement.
In order to select the top three, the queen asked the three most outstanding dancers from Yuefu in the palace to sit aside and give scores early in the morning, in a fair and just way.
The first girl got five points for her dance, and then the second girl came on.
The second person to come on stage was Murong Jiao. Murong Jiao was lively and playful by nature. She had never put any effort into dancing, nor did she dress up specially. She wore a jacket and a skirt, which was thick and inconvenient to perform. But
The dance is very cute.
Finally got four points.
Four or five more girls came up one after another, and the one with the highest score was only six points. It seems that the dancer who scored the dancers was very strict.
Judging from the identities of the ladies on the stage, they seem to be arranged from low to high official positions. It seems that it will soon be the turn of Song Lu and Song Miao from Earl Ronglu's Palace.
Song Miao claimed that she had broken two pairs of dance shoes, but after preparing for so long, she suddenly became timid on the spot. Her body could not help but tremble a little, her fists were clenched tightly, and she was angry at herself for not living up to expectations. This was the moment that decided her fate.
The urge to urinate came over me, and I kept doing all kinds of little things while sitting there, completely losing my composure.
She was indifferent when the chamberlain's father-in-law read her name. Song Lu poked her a few times before she realized what she was doing. She stood up and walked towards the center of the stage.
Seeing the majestic-looking empress, and seeing the high-ranking courtiers and noble princes next to her, all looking at her with burning eyes, she suddenly felt so humble that she seemed unable to even raise her head.
He tried hard not to tremble, and after saluting, he told the musicians the music in a trembling voice.
When the music started playing, she was so nervous that her dance movements slowed down a beat, and then she couldn't keep up. She finished the dance awkwardly, and her legs almost cramped when she came off the stage, and she ended up limping off.
This performance made the princes laugh, and Song Xiang, the Earl of Ronglu, flushed with shame. She was really a concubine who could not stand up to the stage, and she was embarrassed.
Song Miao, who promised to shine, only scored three points in the end.
Song Lu came on next. After all, she was a legitimate daughter born into a noble family. She had long been accustomed to being exposed to such situations while urinating. She finally scored six points.
It took some time for more than 20 ladies to take turns on stage.
Half an hour later, it was Zhou Lenghui's turn. The highest scorer was Wei Ya, Princess Rui's Mansion, with eight points.
Zhou Lenghui stood up confidently and came to the stage.
She was wearing a long pink fragrant gauze dress, with delicate birds embroidered under the tulle. She was as beautiful as a fairy.
After taking the stage, he first bowed to the emperor and empress, then bowed towards the men's area, his eyes fell on Xuanyan, and he smiled.
King Xuan lowered his face and looked away. He did not like such a woman. Even if she was not the daughter of Zhou Chenxiang, he would not like her.
On the other hand, the fourth and fifth princes, as well as the other princes and princes who were waiting in their respective houses, looked at Zhou Lenghui with extremely burning eyes.
In their eyes, Miss Zhou is also an unattainable existence.
Zhou Lenghui couldn't help but feel cold when she saw King Xuan being so cold. She stepped forward and told the musicians about the song, and soon began to show off her dancing skills. She danced really well in the song, her body was soft and light, and she danced better than anyone before.
, scored nine points, the highest score on the court.
At the end of the game, she deliberately glanced at King Xuan, but when she saw that King Xuan didn't look at her, she felt annoyed and resentful.
At this point, all the ladies participating in the banquet have finished dancing, and it is the turn of the Crown Princess and Princess Night.
