Emperor Hongyuan added: "Not only does Princess Li play the piano well, but Concubine Xue also dances the Feixian Dance well. The two of them complement each other and complement each other, which is pleasing to the eye. Come and enjoy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Ruoyue quickly knelt down with Concubine Xue to express her gratitude.
After thanking them, a eunuch came over with the rewards he had prepared and rewarded them.
The reward is two handles of the best jade Ruyi, one for each person, which is fair.
When Yun Ruoyue and Xue Fei took the jade Ruyi, they glanced at each other inadvertently, with a look of sympathy in their eyes. After receiving the jade Ruyi, they returned to their seats.
Seeing everyone praising Yun Ruoyue and Xue Fei, the queen felt very jealous. She felt that the two performed so well and it was a slap in her face.
Just now they thought that Concubine Xue couldn't dance the Feixian Dance, and they wanted to embarrass her and make her look embarrassed, but they didn't expect that she surprised everyone and got a reward from the emperor, which made her extremely angry.
She was extremely unhappy, but she still suppressed her unhappiness, stood up, and smiled gently at Emperor Hongyuan: "Your Majesty, there are so many ladies and ladies at the palace banquet today, haven't you prepared a lucky draw?
Let the ladies show their talents, and the one who gets first place will be rewarded with your prizes. Your prizes have been excellent in previous years. What good prizes have you prepared for everyone this year?"
It is also the queen's responsibility to let the guests and hosts have fun together. She also has several noble daughters from the Su family. It will also be helpful for the Su family to want these noble ladies to perform, gain some limelight, and find some good marriages.
Emperor Hongyuan thought for a moment, then took off a dragon-shaped jade pendant with a shiny texture from his waist, and said: "There are distinguished guests here this year. As long as they are women, whether married or unmarried, they can participate. The content of the performance is arbitrary, and the piano
Chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing, and dancing are all acceptable. Later, I will order someone to give each of you a sign. After the women have finished their performance, everyone will vote for them. The one with the most signs in the end will win. This
For the first place, I will reward you with a dragon-shaped jade pendant that has followed me for ten years. For the second place, you will be given eight hundred taels of gold, and for the third place, you will be given five hundred taels of gold."
mark("zhong");
When the ladies below heard this, they all held their own musical instruments and were eager to try it out.
When they come to the palace banquet, this is their favorite part.
In this link, they can show their talents. If they can be favored by the emperor, princes, princes, or the sons of noble ministers, they can find a good marriage.
Therefore, every year at the Lantern Festival banquet, ladies dress up beautifully and strive to win good fortune.
This year, the emperor's prize is actually his jade pendant, which is the most important thing. Although such a jade pendant has no special function, whoever owns the emperor's jade pendant must be very proud.
Not only can this be passed down to the family, but at a critical moment, it might even be able to save one's life.
"Well, this year's lottery is particularly precious. My daughters, you can start performing on stage." The Queen said.
This was just a casual competition, so there was no distinction between who came first and who came last. As soon as the queen finished speaking, a noble lady stood up holding the piano, took the initiative and came to the stage to play the piano for everyone.
Under the stage, guests and foreign envoys mingled, toasted and drank with each other, and it was a peaceful atmosphere.
Because the noble girl's piano playing was mediocre, and she had only played half of it, a bold prince took advantage of the wine and said, "What is this thing that you are playing? It sounds like a melodious sound. It doesn't sound good at all. Get out of here."
