When Wang Qingyu heard what Bei Tangjin said, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, she didn't need to do anything special, but what she didn't expect was that the Queen didn't let Bei Tangjin draw lots. What did this mean? Could it be that the person had already chosen?
Okay, it's just a formality. Bei Tangjin doesn't even have to perform? What does this mean? These ladies are all accompanying her?
Wang Qingyu was unwilling to give in. She clenched her fingers tightly in her sleeves. She still maintained a dignified smile on her face. But there was a cold look in her eyes. Bei Tangjin, if you die, what sorrow will I have?
Beitang Jin just responded, but the person who prepared the equipment stepped forward to report, "My Lady, the sword formation that General Yurong is dancing on the sword is a specially made one, and there is no such thing in the palace." The high-pitched voice was full of embarrassment.
.
The queen frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Since we don't have this equipment, let Yurong perform something else."
As soon as she finished speaking, the innocent Princess Anping blinked her eyes and said: "Mother, I heard that Sister Yurong's sword dance was really wonderful. If she changed it to other dances, she would be disappointed. So I thought, since there is no sword formation in the palace.
, you can go to Beitang Mansion to get it." Her eyes were pure and childish, and she pouted her little mouth when she spoke, which was really cute.
Princess Anping is the eleventh princess in the palace. She is only nine years old. She is deeply loved by His Majesty and the Queen, so she speaks very boldly.
When the Queen heard this, she frowned, smiled lovingly, and said, "Anping, come here, Queen Mother."
Princess Anping blinked at the Queen with her big innocent eyes. She was originally waiting for the Queen to answer, but the Queen did not answer and instead called her over. She responded obediently: "Yes, Queen Mother."
Everyone knew that this was not feasible, so the Queen did not agree. For a royal banquet, how could there be any reason to go to the courtiers' houses to get them if there were no utensils?
Seeing that this was the best opportunity, Wang Qingyu stood up and said: "My Lady, there is a long nail board in the punishment department. It must be quite similar to the sword formation, so it can be used."
As soon as she said this, some people objected: "That nail board is a tool used by prisoners for torture. How can it be used in an elegant hall?"
Wang Qingyu smiled and said: "The sword array specially made by the Northern Tang Dynasty is also a torture instrument. It is not only elegant, but also praised. How can the nail board not be the same? Your Majesty, General Yurong must think so too, right?" She
After saying that, he turned his eyes to Bei Tangjin and smiled at her.
The sword array was indeed a torture instrument, so when Wang Qingyu asked her, she couldn't say no. What Wang Qingyu said was well prepared, so Beitang Jin said, "The sword array is indeed a torture instrument."
But it didn't say whether the nail board can be used.
Wang Qingyu didn't care at all. As long as Bei Tangjin admitted that her sword array was also used as a torture instrument, then there was no reason why the nail board couldn't be used. Therefore, the corners of her mouth turned up in a perfect arc.
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's go to the Punishment Department to get the nail board." This was her agreement.
When Mrs. Weiguo heard this, she laughed proudly. She looked at her daughter and became even more proud.
Bei Tangjin sat quietly all the time, doubtful in his heart, but remained calm. At this time, no one felt anything was wrong.
Princess Yongchang's seat was close to the queen's, so Princess Anping came over to talk to Bei Tangjin with a look of admiration on her face.
"Sister Yurong, I heard that your martial arts skills are very good. When the banquet is over, can you do some tricks for peace?" Princess Anping put her little head over and smiled innocently and cutely at Bei Tangjin.
Bei Tangjin had met this little princess several times in her previous life, and was not familiar with her. However, thinking that she would eventually become the victim of her brothers' struggle for the throne, she felt pity in her heart. Her smile became a little softer and she said
: "If the princess likes it, then sister can give a performance."
Princess Anping heard this, with a look of joy on her face, and said: "Sister Yurong is so kind!" As she spoke, she got down from the queen's seat, sat next to Bei Tangjin, leaned into Bei Tangjin's ear, and said: "Yu Rong is so kind!"
Can Sister Rong take Anping out to play?"
After Bei Tangjin heard this, she understood that Princess Anping's request to her to dance the sword just now was just a test. Now she realized that she was quite easy to talk to, so she decided to take her out to play. This child was really smart.
Looking at Princess Anping's innocent big eyes, she said, "Who usually takes the princess out?"
Princess Anping blinked and thought for a moment, then pointed at Feng Yan at the male guests' table and said, "Sometimes it's the eldest brother, sometimes it's the fourth brother."
Bei Tangjin nodded. The reason why Anping begged her to take her out to play today was probably because neither Fengying nor Fengyan was willing to take her out. And it was indeed inappropriate for her, a courtier, to take the princess out, so she smiled.
He smiled and said: "I am going out with the Fourth Highness. It doesn't matter if I take the princess with me. I believe the Fourth Highness will be happy to see you."
Princess Anping's cheerful little face immediately turned pale and said: "Ah, that's it, then forget it."
Bei Tangjin pretended not to understand and said, "Why doesn't the princess want to go out and play? It's so lively outside the palace."
Princess Anping looked bitter and said: "No, no, let's try another day."
Princess Yongchang listened to the two chatting, and originally wanted to stop the willful Princess Anping. When she heard what Bei Tangjin said, she couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect that Ajin would be so good at coaxing children!
Anping glanced at Princess Yongchang in confusion and asked, "Why is the emperor laughing?"
Princess Yongchang immediately straightened her expression and said, "Ajin, you should go change your clothes at this time."
Beitang Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "That's what the princess said." Then he was led out by the palace maid.
Feng Xichun was a little surprised that Bei Tangjin was not tired of such a chattering child like Princess Anping.
It’s okay if you’re not bored. Does that smile of hers mean you like it?
Thinking of this, Feng Xiyan frowned and thought to herself: Bei Tangjin's heart also has a soft side.
Hearing that Bei Tang Jin was going to dance, the male guests had already started talking about it. The young masters who had seen Bei Tang Jin dancing were spitting like stars, and they were so proud that they talked.
depressed.
He also wanted to see Bei Tangjin dance, but he just didn't want her to perform in front of so many people, whose looks were disgusting.
After a while, the nail board was brought over, and Bei Tangjin also changed into dancing clothes, but she did not appear.
At this time, a maid whispered something in the queen's ear. The queen nodded and said to everyone: "I heard that this sword dance is accompaniment to "Guangling San". I wonder which lady is willing to play this piece?
"
Even if it is just an accompaniment, it is an excellent opportunity for performance, so the ladies are eager to give it a try. At this time, Wang Qingyu stood up again and said: "Madam, although Qingyu has little talent and knowledge, she is willing to give it a try."
The ladies present couldn't help but feel disappointed. Since Bei Tangjin's Sword Dance was spread, they all put a lot of effort into getting the music score and practicing it several times. Therefore, they could not go on stage to play it and lost an opportunity to perform.
, naturally I feel unhappy.
The princes who admired Wang Qingyu were all happy when they heard about it. They applauded before Wang Qingyu even came on stage, which made Wang Qingyu's face shine quite brightly.
Wang Qingyu just smiled reservedly and generously.
Seeing how lively the scene was, the queen nodded and said, "You haven't performed yet, but you can accompany me."
"Thank you, empress." Wang Qingyu blessed the empress, then walked onto the stage holding her qin.
She was gorgeously dressed, graceful, dignified, gorgeous and enchanting, and all the young ladies praised her.
Wang Qingyu sat upright and played the piano, with long slender fingers and a relaxed expression. As his fingertips slid, the beautiful piano music came out. The princes couldn't help but marveled when they heard this majestic piano sound played by such a delicate woman.
Some young masters shook their heads and said: "Miss Wang's playing is indeed good, but her piano skills are far inferior to those of the fifth young lady from the Beitang family that day."
When Feng Sheng heard this, he laughed and said: "It's not just about piano skills? The artistic conception is also far different. I guess Yurong's performance today is not as good as it was then!" He sighed deeply as he spoke, feeling very regretful.
The princes of the Wang family were naturally unhappy when they heard this. However, many of the princes of the Wang family were relatively calm in character. Only Wang Jing and Wang Ke had the most restless tempers. However, Wang Ke did not dare to initiate a conflict with Feng Sheng.
Kyoto is different.
Wang Jing has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has a somewhat reckless personality. He was appointed as the commander of the Jingwei by His Majesty. He is quite arrogant. The Wang family has always been proud of Wang Qingyu. When he heard Feng Sheng's sarcasm, Feng Jing immediately said angrily: "
Qingyu is a talented woman in most places, how can Mr. Feng say such things about my sister! And compare that cowardly and incompetent Fifth Miss of the Northern Tang Dynasty with my sister?"
Feng Sheng looked disapproving, a little confused, and said: "What did this young master say? I just told the truth, right, everyone?" He smiled at the young masters aside and said proudly, and then said, "Ah
After making a sound, he said: "Then the Fifth Miss of Beitang is also Mr. Wang's cousin, right? How can Mr. Wang say that about your cousin? By the way, Mr. Wang didn't hear the Fifth Miss of Beitang playing the piano that day! Oh oh oh!"
I remembered it!" Feng Sheng smiled evilly and said with evil intentions: "On that day, Mr. Wang's clothes were burned and he had to leave the show, so he didn't hear it! Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they thought of Wang Ke's embarrassed appearance that day.
When the princes of the Wang family heard this, their expressions were extremely ugly. Wang Jing turned purple with anger, pointed at Feng Sheng, and said: "You, you, you..." You didn't say a word for a long time.
Feng Sheng tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face and said, "What's wrong with me?"
Wang Fu was originally an extremely calm person, but when he heard Feng Sheng insulting the Wang family in this way, he couldn't sit still and said: "Master Feng, don't go too far! The reason why Ake made a fool of himself that day was also due to you, Master Feng."
Son!"
Feng Sheng still disagreed, smiled gracefully and said, "Oh? So what?"
Wang Fu became even more angry when he heard this! This Feng Sheng is simply arrogant!
Feng Sheng smiled happily, shook his head and hummed a tune, which made the Wang family gnash their teeth in anger.
The ugliness has been exposed, and bringing it up is just exposing the scars, which is even more embarrassing!
Wang Qingyu was a martial arts practitioner and had excellent ears. Although she played the piano, these words fell into her ears. How could she feel comfortable when Feng Sheng insulted the Wang family and said that her piano skills were not as good as that loser Bei Tangyun?
?So he glanced at Bei Tang Yun, full of fierceness!
Bei Tangyun was not as good at hearing as Wang Qingyu. Wang Qingyu's incomprehensible gaze made her heart tremble. She immediately lowered her head and put on a cowardly expression while thinking, why is Wang Qingyu looking at her like this?
