concubines

Chapter 303 Dancing
Zhou Shuxuan sympathized with Princess Helan's journey for nearly a month, and let her rest for a day, and held a palace banquet the next day.

In Qinzheng Hall, after discussing the court affairs, several ministers went to deal with their own affairs.Wei Hai sat alone for a while chatting with Zhou Shuxuan.

Wei Hai sipped his tea and said, "I heard that Princess Helan looks like a fairy. Congratulations to the emperor for being so beautiful."

Zhou Shuxuan glared at him, should these words come out of his mouth? !While wearing the memorial, she said angrily: "What beauty is like a fairy, I think it is just like that. The eyes are so big and the nose is so high, almost like a man."

Wei Hai thought about his words for a while. This is indeed the characteristic of their Xichang people, but it is not like a man.Looking at those Xichang women on the street, their facial features are bright and hot, and they look hot, they don't look like men.

Wei Hai thought about it carefully again, and said very clearly: "I know, in the emperor's mind, only the kind of red phoenix eyes, delicate and small nose, cherry mouth, and a little big face can be called a beauty."

Just as Zhou Shuxuan wanted to nod his head in agreement, he understood who he was talking about, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you free? What are you doing here? Don't you have anything to do?"

Wei Hai knew that he had said the wrong thing again, so he immediately stood up and withdrew, "I still have things to do, so I will leave."

This emperor... is quite strange, it seems that after the one he likes, he thinks that everyone else is ugly.

I can't say what type of woman he likes, only that woman he likes.

They only got together for a day, and it was no different from what Li Youfu guessed.That Princess Helan is really a troublesome spirit, she is going to be annoying to death.

I was busy with her all day yesterday, but fortunately, I haven't found any trouble so far today.Li Youfu was lying on the table dejectedly, complaining to Miaoli.

"She is really annoying. She said that the bed was not good when she entered the door, that she was not used to sleeping on our quilt, and she must have a woolen blanket. I tried my best to find a woolen blanket for her, but she said it was not her. I still don’t want the one I’m used to sleeping in. Then I went to find other ones for her. She spent a long time picking and choosing one that was barely usable. She also put on clothes and said that I couldn’t get used to our clothes. The clothes must be brought by her herself, this has not been resolved until now, I will ask the emperor for instructions later."

Miao Li didn't know what to say when she heard it, and there was no other way but to persuade her to endure it. "Maybe it will be fine after a while, and now I should want to show off. Waiting for a while, it will be impossible to go too far."

"I doubt it. Seeing her arrogance seems to be the arrogance brought from the bottom of her heart, it is very difficult. Now I have one head and two big ones."

Miao Li smiled again and said: "The emperor respects her now, and he couldn't say anything at first. Do you think the emperor will still be like that after a long time? She still thinks she is a princess now, and after a while she will just be Concubine An."

The most unacceptable thing in the palace is arrogant and domineering people. She always has to cause some trouble on her own before she can stop.

Li Youfu couldn't help sighing, and finally said: "It's okay to think about it, it's my duty to serve her. As long as she can be good and doesn't come to trouble my sister, I will admit it."

Miao Li knew that she was just as worried as Xiao Hong, "You're overthinking, okay why did she come to trouble me? But I still have to thank you first."

It seemed that everyone was worried about her, except that she was not worried.

Li Youfu reminded, "Sister, don't forget about the palace banquet tonight. It's best to dress up beautifully, let her know that there are many people in the palace who are prettier than her, and see if she dares to be arrogant."

Miao Li doesn't know how to dress up. Dressing up seems to change the meaning.On that occasion, dressing up better means competing for favor, which is something she would never do in her entire life.Besides, this is equivalent to holding a banquet for Princess Helan, she must not steal the limelight from others.

And she is still struggling now, whether to attend or not is her normal state, but this is the first time after all.

Li Youfu saw that she hadn't answered for a long time, and asked, "Sister, don't you want to go?"

Miao Li nodded, "I'm not very interested, I don't really want to go."

Li Youfu struggled for a while, and said: "If you don't go, then don't go, anyway, you don't attend any other banquets, it's okay. The emperor didn't deliberately send someone over to say that you have to go, it should be the same as before, see all you."

They negotiated vigorously here, but rejoiced over there.

Qingxi ran over and asked, "Aren't you going to the palace banquet, aunt?"

Miao Li felt that he wanted to go very much, and she had already compromised once yesterday, telling him not to go to greet him, so she didn't go, she just complained a few words, and didn't cry much.

After all, he is a child, so he should like the excitement, and it is estimated that all his classmates will be there, and he will definitely feel uncomfortable if he is the only one who does not go.

Miao Li lowered her head and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Qingxi kept nodding, "I want to go, I'm afraid they chat when I go to school, I don't know what they are talking about. And I haven't even seen that princess, I really want to see her."

"The aunt will take you there, but let's talk about it first. You are not allowed to be mischievous, so just follow behind aunt obediently. Is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, Qingxi will be obedient."

It's been a long time since I saw him happy like a child, and he had been pretending to be prudent on purpose before.

Miao Li patted his head lovingly, feeling that she was too doting on the child, giving him whatever he wanted.Forget it, they won't be able to stay in the palace for a few days anyway, and they will have to go home when Wu Yun gives birth to the child at the latest.

As expected, Qingxi was looking forward to this banquet very much. It wasn't too dark yet, and people were already changing his clothes.Sitting still when changing new clothes, for fear of getting dirty.

Miao Li is still dressed in the same way, with simple clothes, and there is not much embellishment on her head except for the necessary hair.He has a higher status than anyone else, and dresses more plainly than anyone else.

Trying to reduce her sense of existence, Miao Li is stepping on the point.And it just so happened that when she arrived, Zhou Shuxuan also arrived, and before everyone had time to greet her, they saluted Zhou Shuxuan first.

After Zhou Shuxuan sat down, he saw Qingxi beside her and didn't say anything.

It can be regarded as his proposal that the child stay in the palace at first, so it is impossible to find fault with her now.Instead, he took a plate of exquisite pastries from the table, put it in front of Qingxi, and motioned him to eat.

Qingxi glanced at Miaoli, and seeing that Miaoli had no objection, he reached out to take one, then kowtowed to him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Zhou Shuxuan still felt a little disappointed in his heart, he still prefers to be alive and kicking without any rules, calling his uncle's celebration.Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Miao Li who was sitting firmly on the side, and didn't say much.

Soon everyone arrived, and the sound of silk and bamboo from other places came from the banquet.Miao Li followed the voice and saw Princess Helan dancing in a bold dress.

I came here after walking for almost a month, and after a day off, I got up to dance for others for fun.This is the noble princess, and it doesn't make much sense if you think about it carefully.

Others at the banquet had never seen such a dance, and they all watched intently.Zhou Shuxuan forced himself to watch. In fact, this dance was not much different to him from watching monkeys jump up and down. It was not much better than those dancers raised in the palace. Anyway, he just didn’t like it. Much interest.

After a dance was over, Princess Helan gave Zhou Shuxuan a national salute and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhou Shuxuan just said lightly: "I think it's not bad, thank you for your hard work."

Princess Helan's eyes widened and she asked, "This is a dance that Helan has prepared for a long time. Does the Emperor just think it's good?"

Zhou Shuxuan replied again: "I think it's okay."

The second answer is not any different from the first at all.

Miao Li saw the obvious anger on Princess Helan's face, and Princess Helan said with a dark face: "This is how the emperor treats Helan's hard preparation."

Zhou Shuxuan didn't think how hard it was for her, just twisted her buttocks and waist, without the slightest sense of beauty.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that I should give him some face, and said, "I think it's very good."

The more Princess Helan heard, the angrier she became. She thought she would be praised, but she didn't expect it to be just perfunctory.He said angrily: "The emperor's words are really forced, and he must think that He Lan's dance is not good. Presumably, the emperor has seen better dancers before."

He doesn't like dancing much at all, okay?He dances like that to everyone.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't answer silently, just pointed to the place next to him and said, "You should be tired, sit down and rest for a while."

Princess Helan looked around, and said resolutely: "The emperor must have seen more powerful dancers, let Helan open his eyes." Pointing to the circle in the palace, the woman said: "They must have met Dancing." Everyone in Xichang country can dance, and she thought it would be the same here.

There are indeed some who can dance, but no one dares to stand out now. I am not sure that I can compare with her, but it is not embarrassing but embarrassing at all.

Zhou Shuxuan murmured in his heart, why did he marry such a thing, it would be good to marry a submissive daughter.

Zhou Shuxuan said again, "Let's eat first."

Princess Helan didn't give him any face, she suddenly pointed at Li Youfu, "Can you dance?" Then she snorted and said, "You look so fat, you don't look like someone who can dance at all, Definitely not dancing."

Li Youfu was sitting well, but she was pulled out out of nowhere, feeling extremely wronged in her heart.Where is she getting fat?It's just that the face is rounder, so I won't be told by them again and again!

And so what if she can't dance, it's not a big sin.

In front of so many people, there was no way to contradict him back, but he couldn't bear the tone in his heart, and burst into tears of grievance.
