Chapter 55: Dancing in Public
The Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet is a day that everyone looks forward to, because on this day, whether it's the ministers or noblewomen with titles, they will all enter the palace to attend the night banquet.
Those who can enter the palace on this day are all showing different identities, and this year, it is Qianjiu's first time to attend such a night banquet.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Qianjiu and Muyexiao got out from the top. Qianjiu naturally pushed Muyexiao towards the inside and walked in.
The place where the banquet was held, in the Imperial Garden, rows of lanterns illuminated the entire Imperial Garden brightly. When Mu Ye and Qian Jiujiu entered, they naturally went to the back palace to pay their respects first.
At this time, the emperor and empress were together with Consort Qinggui and others. Mu Ye Xiao and Qian Jiujiu naturally went up to pay their respects. The emperor was delighted to see the two of them.
Smiling and looking at them: "Get up, everyone. Since you're all here, let's go together. Today is the first time Xiāo Wáng Fēi (the King's wife) attends the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet, so take a good look."
Qianjiu again made a bow: "The daughter-in-law knows."
A group of people walked towards the imperial garden. As soon as they arrived, they heard the sharp voice of a eunuch shouting: "The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived..."
"The King of Xu has arrived, the Queen of Xu has arrived."
The emperor walked in and directly went up to the highest platform, sat down, and all the ministers knelt down: "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live forever."
Qianjiu looked at the crowd kneeling in unison, and suddenly felt a little curious - what was this emperor feeling right now? It must be very satisfying to have so many people kneel to him.
His Majesty apparently still had a good mood tonight, haha laughed twice: "All officials, you can sit down now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After everyone thanked and stood up, they sat back in their own seats. Only then did they realize that tonight, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were seated very close to the Emperor.
This made all these ministers feel very unexpected. In the past, when the Marquis of Xiang's leg was not injured, he had a chance to ascend to the throne, so the Emperor favored him.
How is it that the King of Xiao's legs are now crippled, yet the Emperor still dotes on him so much, even extending his favor to include the Queen of Xiao?
She was actually allowed to be so close to the emperor, thinking of this, in her heart, she was prepared to reevaluate how to treat that Crown Princess.
Qianjiu didn't know at all, that tonight, in order to put on a show, she was allowed to sit here, and it would make the officials below have so many ideas, which is an unexpected delight.
Looking at everyone sitting down, the emperor looked at everyone: "This year is another bumper harvest year. My great Zhou Kingdom has a good climate and abundant rainfall, which is indeed the blessing of heaven."
Everyone nodded as they listened to the emperor's words, and after the banquet began, they started discussing. After each person had spoken for a while, the empress looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, isn't it time to arrange for music and dance?"
"The Emperor nodded naturally: 'Then let's begin.'"
The queen glanced at the eunuch and began to make arrangements. In fact, every year's night banquet in the palace was nothing more than this - eating, drinking, appreciating the moon, and watching singing and dancing. At first, it felt quite fresh when it started on the ninth of September.
This banquet was similar to the seating arrangement of her previous life, except that in her previous life there were ten people at a table, while this time there was only one person at a table, and some people's seats were all set back.
Qianjiu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, fortunately in ancient times there were no TVs or mobile phones, so myopia was relatively rare, otherwise, I'm afraid the people sitting in the back row would be in trouble.
I'm afraid they can't even see the emperor's face clearly, it's really pitiful for these people who have good eyesight and hearing.
Actually, the people in the back row didn't know what the emperor was saying at all. They were just sitting in a corner and no one would pay attention to them anyway, they were just there to join in the excitement.
Finally able to enter the palace, for these people, it's all a chance to show their faces! And at this time, the empty space in the central part of the imperial garden has already started to have performances.
Qianjiu knew that the assassin wouldn't reveal himself at first, so he watched the first dance carefully. Indeed, the ancient saying "a slender waist is not just for show" was true.
That delicate and fragile feeling makes Qianjiu think that it's not easy for them to be alive, who knows when their waist will be broken, looking at other people's waists.
Looking at her own waist, it was also a small waist, so why did she have a water bucket waist visual effect? Mu Ye Xuan's sensitive feeling caught Qianjiu's movement and took a glance at Qianjiu.
"Jiǔ ér, zěnme le ma?"
Translation: "Ninth child, what's wrong?"
1999 shook his head: "Nothing, I just think their waists are so thin, really beautiful."
"Where's the good look? The ninth child is still the best looking. I like you this way."
Qianjiu heard this and felt very satisfied, but still gave Muyexiao a white eye. Muyexiao looked at the situation and couldn't help but feel puzzled, looking at Qianjiu.
"Jiǔ ér xǐ huān nà yàng de xì yāo a? Nǐ kě zhī dào nà yàng de xì yāo kě bù róng yì, tiān shēng de."
Translation:
"Does Jiuer like that kind of slender waist? You know it's not easy to have that kind of slender waist, it's innate."
1999 heard this sentence and thought Mu Ye Xiang was joking with her, but after hearing what Mu Ye Xiang said next, she was shocked.
"Those who can be selected into the palace as dancers are naturally among the best, and this slender waist is also one of the necessary conditions. But do you know how these dancers live?"
Qianjiu shook his head: "Isn't there a difference?"
"Of course it's different, this dancer once selected, every day eats flower petals, practices dance every day, in order to keep her figure always that way."
"Let people appreciate that beauty, but those flower petals eaten for a long time will make a woman lose her qualifications as a mother. So Jiǔér, you must not mess around just to have a slender waist."
Qianjiu heard this and suddenly understood that Qingyexiao had explained it in such detail, fearing that she would also go crazy for having such a slender waist.
Qianjiu Jiu pouted: "I'm not stupid, besides, although a slender waist looks good, I know that when you men look for women from a noble family, you still care about their figure."
"That round and big butt is still my first choice. What I said is correct."
Mu Ye Xuan listened to Qianjiu's complacent discussion about the size of his buttocks and almost vomited blood, coughing twice: "Jiuer, swallow these words back."
"You are a princess, pay attention to your image, if others hear about it, how can that be good?"
Fortunately, the two of them sat close together and spoke in relatively low voices, so while everyone else could see that they were talking, they had no idea what they were saying. Otherwise, this conversation would have caused quite a stir.
In the year 1999, Ziran also knew that in this era of strict etiquette, her words made people feel unbearable. She pursed her lips: "I just said I'm used to it, and I won't say it again."
Seeing Qianjiu apologize, Muyexiao didn't say anything else, but the two people's intimate appearance made everyone below them wide-eyed with wonder.
That high and mighty Emperor of Heaven, aren't you supposed to be aloof and detached? Why have you also fallen into the mortal world now?
Is that princess really that good? She can actually make you talk to her without listening, and those young ladies from noble families who used to admire the Xiao King suddenly feel so sad.
They used to not even get a word from Xiang Wang, but now look at Qianjiu, the gap is so big that it makes people want to hit the wall.
Qianjiu didn't know that the two of them had caused a stir again, and he looked at the dancers below who had changed to a new batch. He was intently watching when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"My daughter Zheng Fu has a poem she wishes to present to Your Majesty, and also hopes that it will bring perfection to Your Majesty."
"Boldly offering a dance, this Zheng Fu has quite the nerve! The 999 people present couldn't help but watch with great interest: 'What is this Zheng Fu trying to do?'"
"Who knows, just watch and see."
It was already their turn for the next program, but unexpectedly Zheng Fu jumped out at this time, it's simply unreasonable, and delayed his time again.
So after Zheng Fu finished speaking, Mu Ye Xiao's eyes were like knives, flying towards Zheng Fu one by one, but Zheng Fu didn't feel Mu Ye Xiao's displeasure at all.
Instead, he knelt down straight away, his gaze seemingly casual yet scrutinizing the Third Prince. In an instant, everyone understood that Zheng Fu was indeed a bold one.
Xian Dance didn't say a word, but still rushed towards the Third Prince. Qianjiu gave a kick to Muyexiao, hinting that he shouldn't scare Zheng Fu anymore.
A woman blinded by love has no rational IQ to speak of. At this time, except for the Third Prince, she can't accept any other messages.
Qianjiu looked at Zheng Guo Gong's wife and Zheng Guo Gong, only to find that the two still had a look of shock on their faces, seemingly unaware of Zheng Fu's intentions.
This is interesting, Qianjiu couldn't help but think maliciously, and the Emperor finally came to his senses from the shock of Zheng Fu's bold behavior, looking at Zheng Fu.
"You must be the precious daughter of Zheng Guo Gong, indeed a true noblewoman without equal. Alright, then go ahead and perform on stage."
Zheng Fu looked at the emperor and saw that he had agreed, and his heart was instantly filled with joy. His gaze turned to the third prince again, then shifted towards Qian Shangshu's direction, and he gave a complacent glance at Qian Yuge.
Qian Yuge's hands were clenched into fists as she gazed at the detestable Qian Jiujiu, who was so close to the Emperor, and on top of that, she was also the princess consort of Mu Ye Xiang, basking in glory.
And she! As the niece of a minister, could only sit in a very back position, watching those who were obviously inferior to herself shine brightly.
If it weren't for Qian Fu Ren tightly grabbing onto Qian Yu Ge's hand, she would have probably rushed out already. But now she could only endure, this was not the time to lose face.
At this time, Zheng Fu had changed into a dance costume and started dancing. It was clear that Zheng Fu had put in some effort.
Her dance was no different from the dancing girls earlier, just as everyone was mesmerized by her performance, Empress Qing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood on stage.
"Your Majesty cried out: 'Qing Guifei, what's wrong with you?'"
