Chapter 96 Longevity Festival

The Supreme Emperor, who had been observing the situation outside in the hall, asked curiously with the prince, "What did the girl from Pingnan just say to Dingbei Hou? Why did Dingguo Duke actually stick to the prime minister? When did their relationship be so good?"

Du Bailiang was trained by him, and he knew the most about his temperament. He was born with Liu Xuchang. In addition, in Lingnan, they were both the prefects of the same state, and they had to make a lot of money and take away each other. When they met, they had to hurt each other and dig holes to each other before they were satisfied. This was the first time he saw them in love with each other. Could it be that they had changed their nature?

The corners of the prince's mouth twitched hard, bent down and replied respectfully: "The Supreme Emperor, I'm afraid it's not what you think. I think Duke Ding should have been cured by the Duke of Pingnan. He is quite a shield!"

The Supreme Emperor looked carefully for a while and saw that the two of them left a little further away immediately and were far away. He wanted to tell the world that they were not familiar with each other. He seemed to be quite quarreling fiercely. He was silent in an instant, touching his chin and thinking, "I want to know what the handle of the Duke of Ding Guo."

Eunuch Wang became even more speechless and immediately ran out to inquire.

The way of inquiring was very direct, and he came to Tang Ning silently, bowed his head and asked a few words, and Tang Ning also answered readily.

Soon the prince came back to report his orders and told the Emperor about the general situation. Although the emperor did not say anything, he kept listening to everyone's conversation silently. Seeing that the Emperor looked at him with a bad look, he hurriedly explained: "Dad, this matter is not up to me. I trusted Duke Ding very much at the beginning and handed him over everything in Chaozhou.

He did nothing in Chaozhou. Who knew that he would make up so many messes and become a hand-off manager. He asked me to say that you are the mentor of Duke Ding, and you have to pay half the responsibility for this matter."

"Well, I have to wipe the butt for that bastard?" The Supreme Emperor looked straight and looked at him and was about to burst out.

The prince hurriedly comforted him and said, "The Supreme Emperor, this matter has nothing to do with you. Duke Ding was probably not intentional. Otherwise, with the nature of Pingnan Hou's hatred of evil, how could he spare Duke Ding so easily!"

When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he finally calmed down.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, the official servant began to read the verses, and then reported the gifts presented by the Emperor's sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren. Then the Emperor said some scenes and responded to the situation, followed by the performance.

Tang Ning thought that the performance should be the official dancer, but who knew that the opening was the concubines in the emperor's harem, some played the piano, some danced, and some wrote poems and paintings. It was obviously arranged in advance.

Tang Ning was amazed and amazed. He couldn't help but whisper in Qiu Jingming's ear: "I'm really embarrassed to enter the palace without any talent."

Qiu Jingming suppressed his smile and replied in a low voice: "Most of the concubines of the emperor have some family backgrounds, so they are naturally proficient in both chess and calligraphy and painting. Even if they don't understand chess and calligraphy, they will have a female cooking skills or other skills. Otherwise, how can they gain a foothold in the harem?"

Tang Ning nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Qiu Jingming's words, "If you want me to see that this wealthy woman is not easy to be a woman, and I don't know what kind of husband the emperor intends to give Changsheng a! Even if it cannot be the same as what I asked at the beginning, it cannot be much different!"

Qiu Jingming heard the corners of his mouth twitched and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't say anything randomly in the future. If you spread it, you must ask someone to arrange us behind your back."

Tang Ning nodded again and agreed to be very well-behaved.

Qiu Jingming stopped the show. Several concubines finished their performance. The Supreme Emperor took the lead in applauding, and the others also warmly catered to him.

The second show started with some official women performing. First, Sun Wenmo, the two daughters of Grand Tutor Sun, went on stage together, playing the piano and dancing the sword. It was a bit novel and won good applause.

The third scene was when the queen's niece Ouyang Qingqing came on stage and praised everyone for their dance paintings in public. It was another unique feature, pushing the banquet performance to a climax.

Although the next few performances were not as stunning as the previous few, they all had their own merits. Tang Ning also found that there was a familiar face in these big ladies.

She looked around and couldn't help but whisper: "Funny and interesting..."

Qiu Jingming asked suspiciously: "What's interesting?"

Tang Ning looked at Pang Furong who was playing the piano on the stage and said, "This should be Pang Wei's sister. She was also on the Pang family's merchant ship on the Grand Canal that day. Unexpectedly, there was so much trouble in the Pang family, and she still had the heart to perform on stage!"

Qiu Jingming suddenly understood Tang Ning's implication and lowered his voice and explained: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Today, you can perform well. As long as you enter the eyes of noble people, you can fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix. Who doesn't want to seize the opportunity? The Pang family made such a big mistake and it is even more impossible to miss this opportunity. It's just that Pang Huayuan is a little cruel. He is still locked in Mrs. Pang in such a day."

Who wouldn't go out to bring his family to the palace together? Although the couple sat on both sides, you can find that Mrs. Pang's position was empty, and I don't know what Pang Hua originally thought. Such days add to the conversation.

Tang Ning shook his head, "Who knows! No matter who he is, let's continue to watch the performance."

After the twenty-two performances ended, the Supreme Emperor slowly said: "Yes, you have troubled, and the children have been well educated. Today I am very happy. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun, so I also make everyone happy together."

The emperor echoed: "The Supreme Emperor likes the beauty of adulthood the most. He intends to let me give marriages to the ladies present today, come and announce the edict."

The queen always had a generous and decent smile on her face, but the concubines looked bad.

The eldest grandfather took out the imperial edict prepared in advance and said loudly: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor summoned him... Ouyang Qingqing, the daughter of the Cheng benefactor..., granted the marriage eldest prince as the concubine; the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor Sun Wenmo..., granted the marriage second prince as the concubine; the legitimate daughter of the Rongguo Duke..., granted the marriage third prince as the concubine; Duke Dingguo Duke..., granted the marriage fourth prince as the concubine.

Zheng Xue, the eldest daughter of Yichangbo, was granted the fifth prince as the concubine of the fifth prince; Pang Hua, the Minister of Rites, was granted the eldest daughter of Pang Furong... granted the sixth prince as the concubine of the sixth prince, I admire this!"

Just as everyone was about to kneel down to thank the Lord for his kindness, the eldest grandfather actually took out the second imperial edict and whispered: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor summoned him... The sister-in-law of the Dingbeihou, the sister-in-law of Pingnan, Qiu Changsheng, is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, beautiful and wise, and is a kind of lanxin, and is Lilan Yuanzhi. He is conferred the imperial concubine Xi and enters the Yongshou Palace..."

Tang Ning and Qiu Jingming both had cracked expressions, looked at the emperor in disbelief, and then at Qiu Changsheng beside him.
