Chapter 30
The fifth princess looked at Xia Keyu and said, "Since your sister can't play the piano to present a song for my mother and concubine, why don't you perform a show."

Xia Keyu got up unhurriedly, shook his head and said: "The courtier said just now that the courtier is stupid, and she doesn't know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid I can't follow orders."

The fifth princess seemed to have found a reason, raised her eyebrows, and said domineeringly: "This princess can't see you, I'm afraid I don't want to!"

"Today you have to perform if you are performing, and you have to perform for me if you are not performing!"

The words are full of persecution and difficulties, and there is no trace of the dignity and generosity of a royal princess.

On the side, some ladies who had been fawning over the fifth princess in the past also stepped forward, and Meng Qinqing, the daughter of Zuo Xiang's mansion, added eccentrically:

"Miss Xia, it is your great honor for the fifth princess to let you perform on the imperial concubine's birthday, you don't know how to flatter you~"

Ms. Qin who was next to Mr. Shangshu's mansion also smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Xia, please don't toast and eat fine wine."

Even Wei Jinghuan's younger sister, Wei Ruxiang, said with disdain, "You are a lady after all, how can you be so incompetent?"

The imperial concubine did not stop everyone, she also wanted to take a good look at what this girl from the Xia family was capable of.

Xia Keyu looked at the stinky faces of these people in front of him, and made it clear that he wanted to embarrass her and keep her from stepping down.

The Xia family's official position is low, and the original body has been called around by these people all the time.

However, she is not that cowardly original body.

However, before she could open her mouth, another clear and crisp female voice suddenly appeared: "Sister Yongle, I see that since this Miss Xia has a right hand injury, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to perform."

On such an occasion, those who dare to refute the fifth princess are either of extraordinary status, or are too naive.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the one who spoke was a girl with a baby face, her round eyes seemed a little innocent, and it was Bai Xiaoxiao, the only king with a different surname in the Great Zheng Kingdom——Bai Xiaoxiao, the daughter of King Bai.

When Bai Wang was young, he saved the current emperor several times, so he was named king with a different surname, and sworn brothers with the emperor.

Bai Xiaoxiao is his only daughter, the jewel in his palm, so it's no wonder that he dares to speak up for Xia Keyu openly.

Xia Keyu nodded to Bai Xiaoxiao and cast a grateful look.I got a sweet smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao's sweet smile brought back some memories of the original body in Xia Keyu's mind.

In the previous life, in order to avoid the courtship of foreign envoys, the fifth princess made Ji marry Wei Jinghuan, and the one who married in her place was the only princess of the right age in the clan——Bai Xiaoxiao, the princess of Yongning!

The innocent Bai Xiaoxiao was forced to marry far away in a foreign land, depressed and unhappy, and died in just a few years.

Thinking of this, Xia Keyu looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with some sympathy. This time, she must save Bai Xiaoxiao.

The fifth princess was choked by someone, and she was so angry that she was about to vent her anger when she heard a eunuch shout loudly: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone was startled, and in a blink of an eye, thinking that the imperial concubine was favored by the emperor, it was reasonable for the emperor to appear, so they hurriedly knelt down to salute.

The fifth princess had already put away her vicious look before, and pretending to be playful, she stepped forward and said, "Father is here~" Then she took the emperor's arm.

There is no salute, just a little girl's mood.

The emperor liked this very much, stroked his beard, shook his head helplessly and said, "Look at you, you are not afraid of being laughed at at such an old age."

The fifth princess acted coquettishly on purpose: "I'm not very big, I want to be my father's daughter for the rest of my life~"

What a scene of harmony between father and daughter and enjoying family happiness.

It's a pity that everyone is kneeling and saluting.

Only then did the emperor come back to his senses, and said: "Freedom from courtesy." Then he asked: "Is the widow bothering you? What are you doing?"

Xia Keyu knew that the emperor was pretending to be stupid when he said this.

It seems that the emperor has already heard the news that the imperial concubine ordered Xia Kelian to be beaten with a cane.Just come and see.

The fifth princess hurriedly explained: "Father does not know something, Yongle wants Miss Xia to perform a show for mother and concubine, to add to the fun."

Then she pursed her lips and said, "It's a pity that this Miss Xia has repeatedly shied away, and she seems a little reluctant."

When the emperor heard this, his thoughts moved, and he asked, "Which girl from the Xia family is it?"

Only then did Xia Keyu get up, saluted again, and introduced himself: "My daughter is Xia Keyu, the eldest daughter of Xia Fengyuan, the Imperial Academy Jijiu."

The emperor squinted at Xia Keyu, seemed to recognize her, and said, "You are the granddaughter of Fan Xibiao, General Fuguo, what talent do you have that you can perform to cheer for my concubine?"

Xia Keyu couldn't help pursing her lips in her heart, she was not a singer and dancer, everyone asked her to add to the fun.

Immediately raised his hand and said: "The reason why the minister is unwilling to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is that on the one hand, she is really stupid and dare not show shame in front of everyone; on the other hand, it is because the hand of the minister is injured."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor naturally couldn't persecute Xia Keyu.

But Xia Keyu changed the subject and said: "But since your majesty thinks highly of your courtiers, and your courtiers have a little skill, as long as your majesty doesn't blame your ministers for not being able to enter the elegant hall."

The emperor was also aroused by Xia Keyu's curiosity, and said, "I forgive you for your innocence."

Xia Keyu bent down, picked up a crystal clear grape from the fruit basket on the table, and deliberately pointed it towards the empty wall.

Everyone was baffled by her actions.

I saw Xia Keyu pulled a hairpin from his head, then inadvertently threw the grapes, and at the same time threw the hairpin in his hand.

The hairpin just passed through the grapes and fell to the ground.

Although she is now in the body of this frail lady, she was a fox for hundreds of years back then, and she is very quick to the troubles of the outside world.

It's not difficult to wear a grape.

This scene made everyone dumbfounded, what kind of talent is this?
Only the emperor saw him, and Long Yan was very happy, clapping his hands and laughing:

"Interesting, as expected of Fan Xibiao's granddaughter, she has the demeanor of your grandfather in the past!"

The emperor took the lead in appreciating, and everyone also responded.

Only then did Xia Keyu bow his head and salute: "It's a small skill, Your Majesty Bo smiles."

Seeing this, the emperor smiled and said: "The widow announces that you have won the jackpot today. Whatever reward you want, just ask."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.How could Xia Keyu be rewarded by the emperor just by wearing a grape?

The fifth princess on the side was so jealous that she almost gnawed her silver teeth.

At this point, Xia Keyu knew that the emperor might not really like her so-called performance, perhaps the Prince Liang's mansion had already performed the performance, saying that he wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to win a reward with such a shit talent.

How to answer, you need to be more careful.
