Su Qing looked at the oncoming tea and quickly leaned back. Although her face escaped the hot tea, part of her clothes got wet.
Su Qing's skirt was also stained with a large tea stain.
"Oh my God, she is actually wearing a special brocade style." Exclaims kept coming, followed by looks of beauty.
The special styles mentioned by the ladies refer to the four pieces of clothing that Jinxiu Pavilion first launched at the beginning of this year.
These four pieces of clothing represent spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively. All four pieces of clothing are extremely exquisite. From design, materials to embroidery, these three aspects are carefully selected.
Not to mention collecting these four pieces of clothing, even if you want to buy one of them, it is not enough just to be rich and powerful. You also have to go through layers of selection, and then bid for it, and the one with the highest price will get it.
If anyone had one like that, it would last a year.
Noble ladies in the capital are proud to wear Jinxiu Pavilion's clothes, and this special style undoubtedly puts gold on their faces.
"Why do you have a special model? It can't be a fake, right?" The woman in pink clothes, named Cheng Shishi, looked at Su Qing with a sultry look on her face.
This Su Qing was just a wild girl from the countryside. She didn't believe that Su Qing could get the special model from Jinxiu Pavilion.
"Imitation? Haha - who are you looking down on?" Su Qing grabbed Cheng Shishi's collar.
"I, the majestic Master of Jinxiu Pavilion, will leave the genuine ones and wear imitation ones. Do you look down on me, Jinxiu Pavilion, or do you look down on my Duke Protector's Mansion?"
Although Su Qing had a smile on her face, the cold air around her was like a cold arrow, making people restless.
"Are you the Pavilion Master? Then I am still the Pavilion Master's mother?" Cheng Shishi was still fearful and spoke regardless of the consequences.
Moreover, the people around him were eerily quiet, and the whole place was completely silent. Even if a pin dropped, the sound could be clearly heard.
They were not silenced because of Su Qing's words, but because of Su Changyun who appeared at the door of the hall and the officials who came with him, including Cheng Shishi's father, Minister Cheng.
Cheng Shishi, who was only talking, did not notice the changes in her surroundings, which also led to her future life being destined to end in tragedy.
"Okay, very good." Su Qing nodded, loosened her collar, and tidied her collar thoughtfully.
Su Qing shook her head, maybe she was used to being humble, cats and dogs dared to run wild on her head.
In this case, how could she let Cheng Shishi off easily? She wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey tonight, so as to establish her prestige as Princess Anle.
Anyway, it was still a while before the dinner started, and she had plenty of time.
"Dad, you heard it all!" Su Qing walked around Cheng Shishi and came to Su Changyun.
"Shilang Cheng, is this the family tradition of the Cheng family?" Su Changyun glanced coolly at Shilang Cheng who was standing aside.
As an elder, Su Changyun couldn't argue with a junior, so why not argue with his peer, Shilang Cheng?
Humph! How could he, Su Changyun's daughter, the apple of the eye of the Protectorate, be allowed to be bullied in vain?
He was not willing to touch Su Qing, so Cheng Shishi dared to bully Su Qing in front of him, using him as the protector of the country as a decoration?
"Evil girl." Cheng Shishi slapped Cheng Shishi in the face, causing a loud scream.
Su Qingguang felt pain hearing the voice, but Cheng Shilang was also a smart man. As long as he taught Cheng Shishi a lesson, Su Changyun would naturally not be able to say anything more.
Moreover, Emperor Yihong may come to Yuehua Palace at any time. The longer this farce lasts, the more detrimental it will be to him.
Cheng Shishi's face swelled up quickly, and there was still the mark of Cheng Shilang's slap on it. She looked at Shilang Cheng in disbelief, "Dad? You actually..."
Cheng Shishi was used to pampering, and Cheng Shilang had never hit her.
Even if she made a mistake, Cheng Shilang only used family rules to frighten her, and there was no real punishment at all.
But this time, Cheng Shishi simply couldn't believe that her father, who had always doted on her, would actually beat her in front of so many people.
"Shut up." Cheng Shilang yelled loudly. It was not good for this daughter to provoke anyone, but she actually provoked the daughter of the Protector of the Country.
It seemed that he was usually too spoiled to her and pampered her to the point of being lawless.
"I also ask the Lord Protector to forgive me for the fact that my daughter offended the princess because of her unruly words. I will definitely discipline her strictly after I return to the palace."
Cheng Shilang has said this, so Su Changyun naturally has nothing to say anymore. If he continues to say it, it means that Su Changyun is narrow-minded and clings to trivial matters.
"Bad girl, why don't you come over and apologize to the princess?" Cheng Shilang looked at Cheng Shishi very sternly in a blink of an eye, as if he said, if you don't apologize, you will skin her.
Cheng Shilang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He thought he could climb the line of Lord Protector and then ride on the big boat of the Third Prince, but he didn't expect that his daughter...
Alas! But judging from the current situation, he could only think of another way.
Although the third prince has been enfeoffed, he still stays in the capital, and he is different from the other princes after all.
As long as you are still in the capital, you will have the opportunity to sit on the throne. What's more, Su Qing will soon become the third princess. Su Changyun will definitely support the third prince then.
With Su Changyun, the chance of the third prince sitting on the throne will be greatly increased. No matter how you look at it, the third prince line is a wise choice.
Seeing Shi Lang Cheng's very upright attitude, Su Qing had no choice but to give up on the matter.
Originally, she wanted to fix this with Cheng Shishi, but now it seems that she has no chance.
Cheng Shishi's farce has come to an end.
Su Qing followed Su Changyun back to her seat to prepare, and the dinner started not long after.
The eunuch guarding the gate sang loudly in the voice of a drake: "The emperor and the queen have arrived."
For a time, people in the main hall lined up on both sides, kneeling together and shouting long live.
"My dear friends, no need to be restrained. Tonight is New Year's Eve, so my dear friends don't have to be restrained." Emperor Yihong sat down on the high throne and waved his hands.
Bailiyu and Bailiya came with Emperor Yihong and were standing behind Concubine Li.
Su Qing smiled and nodded to greet them, and Bailia and the others also nodded as a response to Su Qing.
The etiquette officer in the palace sang: "Let's have a banquet."
Immediately, the sound of music burst out, and the dancer entered the hall gracefully from the door of the hall, her clothes flying, so beautiful.
The maids serving the dishes were divided into two rows and entered the palace to serve the dishes respectively.
For a while, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras filled the ears, people drank and drank, and a scene of prosperity came into view.
Not long after the banquet started, the eunuch guarding the door sang: "The envoy from Donglan Kingdom has arrived."
Emperor Yihong waved his hand very domineeringly and said: "Xuan."
The ceremony officer sang loudly: "The envoy of Xuandonglan Kingdom comes to see you."
The envoy from the Donglan Kingdom entered the palace and saluted, saying: "On behalf of the Donglan Kingdom, the envoy from the Donglan Kingdom would like to express its greetings to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and wish His Majesty the Emperor longevity and good health."
The Donglan envoy waved his hand and asked someone to bring up a mahogany wardrobe that was as tall as a person and said: "Your Majesty, here are the gifts that our emperor has prepared for you."
Emperor Yihong seemed to be interested and said happily: "Oh? Emperor Donglan has taken the trouble. The envoy must convey his gratitude to me after he returns home."
The envoy smiled politely, clapped his hands, silk music sounded, and a group of beautifully made-up dancers filed in. The wooden cabinet slowly opened, and a young woman with a veil walked out.
I guess this woman was the one leading the dance, and her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The stunning face under the veil was looming, and her eyes were very seductive. She danced with the rhythm, sometimes seductive, sometimes charming, sometimes impassioned. The dance was deeply rooted in people's hearts, until she stopped, she still let
People have endless aftertaste.
Although the TV series Su Qing watched in her previous life often featured such bridge-breaking scenes, and she had already expected such scenes, she still watched them with gusto.
After the dance, Ying Ning walked up to Emperor Yihong and took off the veil from her face. A gentle and dignified beauty appeared in front of everyone.
For such a woman, even if she dances a song, no one will associate her with a humble dancer.
"The little girl Ying Ning meets the king of the Ming Dynasty." Ying Ning bowed slightly, and every move she made was full of elegance.
Emperor Yihong nodded slightly: "Pingshen."
The Donglan envoy came forward: "This is Princess Donglan of our Donglan Kingdom. The princess has always heard that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty governs the country well and loves the people like a son. She has admired you very much since she was a child. She specially followed me this time.
I came here just to perform a dance to the Emperor. I wonder if the Emperor is satisfied?"
After hearing this, Emperor Yihong could not understand the meaning of the Donglan envoy, but how should she send this princess away? She could neither lose face nor hurt the harmony between the two countries.
"Yu'er, what do you think?" Emperor Yihong asked Bailiyu the question. He wanted to see how Bailiyu understood this matter.
"I think the princess dances very well, but it's a pity that she doesn't have Qing Qing." Bai Liyu declined politely. The implication was that Su Qing was enough for him and he didn't need other women.
Bailiyu successfully kicked the ball in front of Emperor Yihong. Emperor Yihong looked at the princess and had a headache for a moment.
Although he has two other sons, their ambitions are too obvious and they can easily be taken advantage of.
Although Su Qing looked indifferent, she was already happy in her heart. She thought Bailiyu would not be able to resist the temptation of the throne, but now it seems that she is overthinking.
"Oh? Miss Su is also good at dancing, how about we compete?" Ying Ning raised her eyebrows at Su Qing.
"Oh, princess, I'm afraid you are going to meet your opponent now." Cheng Shishi covered her face and exclaimed.
Damn Su Qing, aren't you quite capable? Now I want to see how a country girl like you will end up.
"You will know if you compare with your opponents." Ying Ning looked at Su Qing proudly.
Ying Ning has been dancing since she was a child. She is Donglan's princess and represents Donglan's reputation. How can she let others compare her to her?
Ying Ning had heard of Su Qing's name. At first she thought she was some big shot, but she didn't expect that she was just a wild girl from the countryside.
As for the rich girl, in her opinion, she just has better luck than others.
"The dance competition is fine, but there is no accompanying music. I have heard that Miss Cheng is very good at playing the piano. How about having Miss Cheng accompany us?" Su Qing smiled and looked at Cheng Shishi sincerely.
She was surprised. Today seemed to be the first time they met. She didn't offend Cheng Shishi. Why would this person go against her?
But it doesn't matter, even if she is dragged into the water anyway, Cheng Shishi can't stand aside to watch the show.
"This..." Cheng Shishi didn't expect Su Qing to say this, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Bailia shook Emperor Yihong's arm and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Father, since Miss Cheng's piano skills are excellent, why don't you let her play a piece to open our eyes?"
"Cheng Shishi, are you willing?" Emperor Yihong looked at Cheng Shishi sitting below.
"I wish... I wish." Cheng Shishi was riding a tiger now, no matter how bad her piano skills were, she still had to get better.
Su Qing looked at Bailia's proud little eyes, how could she not understand that this little girl was protecting her?
Su Qing gave Balia a helpless and doting look, and went down to prepare.
Su Qing put on her dancing clothes, picked up her pipa, and went out from the side hall.
Because there is floor heating in the hall, it is like turning on the heater. Even if you wear few clothes, you will not feel very cold.
As soon as Su Qing entered the palace, Shun Jian attracted the attention of the entire audience. Her steps were light and her clothes were flying with her movements. She really looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a beautiful painting.
The ring jingle accompanied by the silver bell on Su Qing's ankle synthesized a special melody, like listening to fairy music, which made people unable to recover for a while.
Su Qing and Ying Ning looked at each other, and there was a strong smell of sex in the air.
"Since it is a competition, of course there must be a prize. If you lose, you will give up your position as the third princess." Ying Ning looked at Su Qing provocatively.
"If you lose, send the Fire Lotus to me intact." Su Qingbo responded to her unceremoniously.
She had previously wanted to arrange for Murong Fu to go to Donglan, but now it seemed that this competition might be an opportunity.
"It's settled. The Lord of the Ming Dynasty also asks you to bear witness here again." Ying Ning said and glanced at Su Qing.
She should rather be a princess. She has been exposed to these things since she was a child. How can a country girl compare to them?
"Okay." Emperor Yihong agreed.
"Miss Cheng, are you ready?" At this time, Su Qing was like a red plum in winter, aloof and confident.
She is completely different from her usual appearance, and now she is even more difficult to look away from.
Cheng Shishi swallowed her saliva and walked to the main hall. The guqin had already been set up in the open space of the main hall.
In this competition, Ying Ning was the first to dance.
Zheng - Zheng -
When the piano played, Ying Ning also danced to the sound of the piano, her skirt flowing like light snowflakes all over the sky, like an elf in a fairyland, beautiful and dreamy.
The delicate steps follow the beat, the hands turn a thousand times, and the eyebrows and eyes look forward to each other, as if there is lingering warmth, but also like a sudden cold light, arrogant and towering.
The song ends, the dance ends.
The whole hall was silent, and no one had recovered from Ying Ning's dance for a while.
Seeing this, Ying Ning glanced at Su Qing with contempt and said, "Su Qing, just give me the position of the third princess honestly."
"It's not certain who will lose and who will win." Su Qing curled her lips and smiled, instantly disturbing the hearts of all the young men.
