Chapter Nine: Infighting at the Banquet

Xue Xichen and Xiao Liuyue stood up and sat back down. Feng Longxiang asked again: "Since Mr. Xiao comes from a famous family, have you ever thought about joining the court as an official?"

Xiao Liuyue respectfully replied: "The common people are used to being idle and have no big ambitions, but a meal and clothing and a close friend are enough! Now that I have Xue'er by my side, the common people have nothing to ask for and only want to be with me."

My Xue'er will live a happy life, be the companion of wandering clouds and wild cranes, and be the couple of gods and immortals."

After saying that, he held Xue Xichen's hand and smiled affectionately.

Xue Xichen smiled lightly and said nothing, her eyes lowered shyly, and her behavior showed the deep happiness like a child. Seeing Feng Qingge's heart was filled with wild fire, she wanted to jump up and rush forward to snatch her back to her.

He knew clearly that Xiao Liuyue and Xue Xichen were just acting, but he just couldn't control himself. He didn't like Xiao Liuyue looking at his woman with affectionate eyes, and he didn't like Xue Xichen showing off to Xiao Liuyue.

Showing the charm that should belong to him alone. His woman can only belong to him! Why should Xiao Liuyue hold Xue Xichen's hand! Why should he!

Holding the wine glass, he raised his head and drank it hard. His heart was filled with anger and he wanted to rush forward and separate the couple who were flirting in front of him!

However, he can't!

Fenglong raised his eyebrows slightly, and really couldn't understand why Xiao Liuyue's bullshit vision was worth giving up the power and status he had so easily obtained for an ugly girl. He said: "There is still time, Mr. Xiao might as well think about it again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"

Xiao Liuyue answered respectfully, neither salty nor salty, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

The banquet continued, and all the ministers toasted to the emperor one after another. The queen often advised the emperor not to drink too much, and the couple was deeply in love. While Xue Xichen poured wine for Xiao Liuyue, he paid attention to the low and shallow conversations around him.

"This Aunt Snow!"

The Queen's sudden voice interrupted Xue Xichen's concentration. She quickly recovered and bowed her head respectfully to the Queen, "The Queen, the common woman is here!"

The queen seemed very interested and asked: "Aunt Xue, I heard that you opened Xiaoyao Tower in Jiangdu City?"

Xue Xichen nodded, "The Queen is right, the women of the common people have indeed opened Xiaoyao Tower in Jiangdu."

The queen pretended to be very interested and asked: "Since Aunt Xue is a prostitute, do you believe that Aunt Xue must be proficient in singing, dancing and piano skills?"

Xue Xichen's brows twitched slightly, and a bad feeling swept through her body in an instant. It seemed that the queen was trying to embarrass her according to Feng Longxiang's instructions. She respectfully replied: "Rough skills are not worth mentioning."

The queen said: "It's rare that all the ministers are so happy today. Why don't Aunt Xue show us her hand? Let the ministers also open their eyes and see the wonderful people of Jiangdu."

All the ministers nodded in agreement, and all eyes were instantly focused on Xue Xichen. There was ambiguity, ridicule, and cynicism. For a moment, it was like a light on the back, making Xue Xichen feel like sitting on the tip of a needle.

Xiao Liuyue frowned and was about to speak to stop him. Xue Xichen held Xiao Liuyue's hand and hinted that he should not be impulsive. She raised her usual smile and said to the queen: "The queen's order, a common woman dare not disobey.

! When the women of the common people first arrived in the capital, they heard that the ladies from the flower-filled buildings in the capital were the best in all the arts in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing. The women were bold and wanted to compete with the nuns from the flower-filled buildings. Please ask the Empress for her kindness.

allow."

The queen was furious and scolded, "You woman, you don't know what is good and what is evil!"

Feng Qingge interjected: "Queen, don't be surprised! I think Aunt Xue's suggestion is very good. Aunt Xue's Xiaoyao Building is unique in Jiangdu City. Compared with the Huaman Building in the capital, I am only in the middle."

I also want to know who is better, Xiaoyao Tower or Huaman Tower. I also ask the Empress for your approval!"

"this……"

The queen cast her hesitant gaze at Feng Long Xiang.

Feng Longxiang pondered and said, "If you want to compete, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future! Don't cause trouble at the reception of Feng Yan today!"

The queen said apologetically: "Yes! I know my mistake!"

Xue Xichen lowered her eyes and said, "The civilian woman knows her mistake!"

I thought that would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, Xue Xichen was startled by Feng Longxiang's sudden words, "Aunt Xue, since the queen wants to meet her, you can just sing a song and dance a little to relax!"

Sing a tune and do a little dance?! Isn’t she the same as a dancing queen! Xue Xichen was filled with resentment, and all the humiliation she had felt at Fenglong came to her heart in an instant. She was so irritable that she just wanted to throw the table and leave!

Tolerate!

A little impatience will ruin a big plan! It is not appropriate to directly conflict with Feng Longxiang at the moment, she must endure it!

She stood up and bowed to the phoenix and dragon Xiang Yingying. "The emperor's orders are not dare to be disobeyed by the common women. However, before the performance, the common women have an unkind request."

"explain!"

"The women of the common people have always heard that the Sixth Prince is talented in literature and art, and he is excellent at playing piano and chess. The women of the common people boldly want to ask the Sixth Prince to accompany the women of the common people. I wonder if the Sixth Prince is willing to condescend?"

Immediately, a minister shouted angrily, "How dare you, a daughter of the common people! How dare you betray your dignity! Who are you, how dare you let the Sixth Prince play the piano and accompany you!"

Xue Xichen stood respectfully, lowered her eyes and said nothing, waiting for Feng Long Xiang's answer.

Feng Qingge glanced at Xue Xichen unexpectedly, wondering why she suddenly made such an unreasonable request.

Feng Longxiang pondered, looked at Feng Biqing, and asked, "What do you think, sixth brother?"

Feng Biqing stood up and cupped her hands towards Feng Longxiang in reply, "In reply to the emperor, since it is Aunt Xue's request, I am happy to oblige! Let me and Aunt Xue perform a song together to help the emperor's elegance."

Feng Longxiang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!"

Feng Biqing walked up to Xue Xichen and asked with a smile, "I wonder what song Aunt Xue wants to sing, and what kind of musical instrument does she want Biqing to use to harmonize with it?"

"Thank you, Sixth Prince!" Xue Xichen thanked Feng Biqing first, and then said, "Sixth Prince, I will not sing a song today, I want to present a painting to the Emperor."

"Oh?" Feng Biqing was quite interested, "What painting do you want to present?"

Xue Xichen said: "The women dared to ask the Sixth Prince to play impromptu music. No matter what the song was, they could change it to another one at any time. The women would paint according to the Sixth Prince's melody. I wonder what the Sixth Prince wanted?"

"interesting!"

Feng Biqing was very interested. She sang along with the songs and danced to the tunes. He had been fortunate enough to witness Xue Mei Tong's wonderful skills. That time, he was so amazed that he immediately introduced Xue Mei Tong as a close friend. Now after such a long time

After many years, another woman actually proposed it. Feng Biqing was very happy and couldn't wait to know how Xue Xichen compared with the Xue Meitong back then.

"Come here! Get the piano ready!"

Soon, a eunuch set up the piano table and put the Liuqin on it, and another eunuch brought the painting table, which was covered with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Feng Biqing lifted her robe and sat down in front of the piano table, while Xue Xichen walked slowly to the painting table.

, spread out the drawing paper, rolled up his sleeves to reveal a section of snow-white arms and wrists, picked up the brush gracefully, and the emerald jade bracelet swayed gently on his white and tender wrists.

"Your Majesty, you can start at any time."

Feng Bi cleared the screen and thought, concentrating, her fingers moved, the strings trembled, and the beautiful melody sounded softly, revealing a touch of loneliness and sadness, and carrying countless infatuation and intoxication. After listening carefully, she actually

It's a song called "Feng Qiu Huang".

"The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels all over the world in search of its phoenix. I haven't met you at that time, and I have no generals. How can I realize that I am now promoted to the hall! There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and the people in the room are poisonous to my intestines. Why are they crossing their necks to become mandarin ducks? Hu

We are soaring together! Your Majesty, your Majesty, come to rest with me, and you will be entrusted to be your concubine forever. Friendships are harmonious, and our hearts are harmonious. Who knows how to meet each other in the middle of the night? Both wings rise and fly high, and I feel nothing but my thoughts that make me sad.
