Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 282 Over the Banquet
Oh, Gu Qingxin almost forgot, Gu Qingcheng has always been famous for dancing. Compared with Gu Qingguo's talent and reputation, Gu Qingcheng's singing and dancing is the best in the Platinum Kingdom, almost unmatched. Back then, it was highly sought after .It is said that those who were lucky enough to see the second princess dancing were all amazed that this song should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world.

Even if the princess of a country is very good at dancing, the chances of being able to appear on the stage are very rare. Because of her noble status, she can only be seen in the palace, and it must be on a major occasion.Women engaged in singing and dancing are called singers, dancers, and singers. Judging from the folk appellations, this type of person's status is not high. Because of this, it is extremely rare to see Her Royal Highness dancing in person.

Rare things are precious, and it is precisely because of their rarity that although only a few high-ranking officials can witness the scene, three people become tigers, the folks unconsciously regard Gu Qingcheng as the person with the deepest knowledge in singing and dancing.

From the corner of her eyes, Gu Qing saw Gu Qingcheng's absent-minded yet confident appearance, and suddenly guessed what she was going to do. She just wanted to perform a dance to amaze the audience!
In her previous life, she had seen Gu Qingcheng dance. She had to say that some people might be born to belong to the stage. When she put on a special dance dress and led the people on the stage, under the green leaves against the flowers, The most eye-catching person becomes a seductive goblin, who can almost hook the hearts and souls of all men.

Because of her reputation, Gu Qingcheng in her previous life often performed dances at important ceremonies, but in this life, Gu Qingxin frowned slightly in thought, as if she had never seen her perform dances on important occasions?Could it be that she is no longer proficient?Or, is the other party still hiding it?

However, Gu Qingxin lowered her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes, performing a dance, yes, if you want to amaze the audience, it depends on whether she agrees or not?

While clasping her hands, Gu Qingxin looked at her slender fingers painted with Danko, her eyes suddenly turned cold, it seemed that red diffused from inside, but it disappeared immediately, and for a moment, the air seemed to be frozen The ice fell, but only for an instant.

Didn't that bright red color just remind her of the tragedy in her previous life? She will never forget that when her soul was floating in the air, she watched Gu Qingcheng stand aside with her bare feet painted with bright red nails. The scene when dancing on a drum made of leather, at that moment, the hostility and resentment were overwhelming...

The dance on the stage was probably newly rehearsed, the dance was charming and bold, and the costumes were also bold and novel, which immediately attracted the attention of many people present, and the only few people who did not look at the stage showed different performances .

Xu Mu was obviously one of them. He just glanced at the stage when the sound of music sounded, and he didn't like the movements of those women in almost transparent dance clothes at all. In his eyes was a charming dance, but in his eyes he could only see balls of red white gauze flying around.

After just a glance, Xu Mu looked away. At this time, everyone was busy watching, and no one came to toast him. Xu Mu felt very relaxed, and he had a half-day leisure. Now he can drink a small wine by himself. Eat small dishes instead of struggling to deal with officials who wear masks and fake smiles.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Xu Mu couldn't help but slowly moved his eyes away from the table, and slowly moved to the upper right front. The first thing he saw was the small table in front of Gu Qingxin. The dinner was complete, and she didn't seem to move a sip. He remembered that she seemed to have just toasted to His Majesty and drank a few sips during the whole process, and then there was no movement in her hands.

Xu Mu was worried for a while, why doesn't Little Xingxing eat much?He remembered that he ate a lot when he was in the general, and Xiao Xingxing only took two bites of scallion pancakes. Now he is hungry, but the other party still hasn't eaten. If this continues, how can her frail body bear it?
If there is a chance in the future, he must tell her, no, tell the maid beside her that people are like iron and rice is steel, and eating less is not good for your health.

Xu Mu frowned in disapproval, and then let go of it after a while, then cautiously, secretly moved his gaze up to her face.

Gu Qingxin's face remained calm, she sat upright, her demeanor was graceful like a landscape painting, even if she just sat there still, it seemed to make people feel comfortable and happy just looking at it.

It's just that her eyes are downcast at the moment, Xu Mu can't see her expression clearly, but somehow feels that the little princess is very unhappy. At this moment, his little Xing Xing seems to be thinking about unhappy things, that's how he feels.

But at this moment, he can neither ask nor say anything, even if he has worries in his heart, it is inconvenient to express them here.As for the reason for this, Xu Mu felt a bit of bitterness in his heart, hiding his inexplicable loss.

Sure enough, after this piece of music, in the corner of Gu Qingxin's vision, Gu Qingcheng's eager expression made her face flush with excitement.

The dancers in red gauze clothes also stopped dancing, put on an auspicious posture, bent over uniformly, and congratulated His Majesty: "May Your Majesty's grand plans flourish, and the Platinum Kingdom will prosper!"

These words reached His Majesty's heart, the emperor laughed loudly, said three good words, and said loudly, "There is a reward, there is a reward!" Then he smiled and said to the concubine next to him, "My concubine is indeed a concubine!" Ingenuity, I am so relieved!"

It turned out that this dance was meticulously prepared and rehearsed by Concubine Xian. Before that, she got through with the emperor, got his permission, and said that she would give him a surprise.

Concubine Xian smiled demurely, like the lotus after the rain, docile and quiet, "Your Majesty has praised you, and this concubine cannot protect the territory for His Majesty. It is also a great honor for my concubine to make His Majesty happy." The emperor was very pleased Touched, he stretched out his hand and pulled Concubine Xian to her side, almost sitting on the top seat together, hugging Concubine Xian's shoulders tenderly and softly, with smiles in his eyes.

This scene deeply hurt the eyes of other concubines, especially Concubine De.

Now in the harem of the Platinum Kingdom, she has the same status as Concubine Xian, and her qualifications are even older. Seeing Concubine Xian becoming more and more favored, His Majesty actually dragged her along on such an important day in public Sitting on the throne, don't you intend to push her to the back seat?
She also wants that position!And she, as a rival in the competition with Concubine Xian, was left out in the cold, watching the other concubine get favored, and the other concubines watched, wouldn't she want to make the concubines on her side lose their confidence?Her pride and self-esteem made her teeth chatter with anger, but at this moment, she couldn't find a good way to fight against that concubine Xian!
The interaction and behavior of the emperor and the concubine Xian, as well as the abnormality of the concubine De, were noticed by the sharp-eyed concubines in the harem, as did Gu Qingcheng, Gu Qingxin and others.

Gu Qingcheng knew that she couldn't wait any longer, seeing her mother and concubine's suffering, why didn't she feel uncomfortable, how could she be willing?So she finally stood up, walked to the high platform, raised her face and smiled and offered to invite Ying, "I want to report to my father, my son is as happy and proud as my father when I saw the triumphant return of my Platinum Army today. Being able to return from victory is related to the soldiers and generals, and it is also related to the wise rule and decision-making of the father. If the father did not promote the talents, we would not be where we are today. Father, I will offer you a toast."

After finishing speaking, Gu Qingcheng proudly lifted the wine glass in his hand and poured it down his throat.

Concubine De's surprised and worried voice came, "Your Majesty, Qingcheng is not very good at drinking!"

But because she was too anxious and too violent, she coughed a little uncomfortable, and she was choked by the strong wine until she burst into tears and didn't yell out a word.

"Qingcheng, are you okay, don't try to be brave." Hearing Concubine De's reminder, the emperor couldn't help but said when he saw Gu Qingcheng's appearance.

Gu Qingcheng, who was cared about, smiled very happily, didn't care at all, and said proudly, "It's okay, Father, if you can let Father care, Qingcheng is already very satisfied."

Hearing this, many people heard that their daughter's admiration for her father would easily arouse others' sympathy. Immediately, many people present had a much better impression of Gu Qingcheng. In the past, they only looked at the little girl. The princess is gone, and she doesn't seem to have noticed that the second princess is also a beautiful princess, and she also has her own talent.

Gu Qingcheng's series of actions just now were all to win the emperor's favor and sympathy. She knew that if she was favored..., even the mother and concubine would be prosperous together, so she worked very hard to impress His Majesty the Emperor. Believe that you can do it.

It's a pity that what Gu Qingcheng didn't look up on the high platform was that His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, but what he was thinking in his heart was: Saying such things in front of civil and military officials, could it be that I have treated you badly!

"Father, today, in order to congratulate Father, the mountains and rivers will last forever, the ministers also decided to perform a dance for Father, wishing Father every year has today, and the great achievements of the Platinum Kingdom will be preserved in the history, and I hope that Father will allow!" Gu Qingcheng sonorous Powerful words resounded in the hall, and fell to the ground.

"Oh, Qingcheng, you still have such talent?" His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise. No one likes to listen to good words, let alone at such a moment, the trace of dissatisfaction just now was replaced by the good words and curiosity left in history, " Oh, yes! Haha, there are really surprises everywhere today!"
