The Emperor's Son-in-Law

At this time, the ministers of various government offices had already submitted the rosters to the three empresses for review.

After a careful review by the Queen and the two concubines.

Then he picked up the writing brush on the desk and carefully marked the names on the list.

"I and my two sisters have already read these rosters."

"Everything you need to explain is written on it."

"My lords, please investigate carefully when you return."

"Next, let's watch the dance music."

The queen smiled.

"Yes, my sister's eyes are tired of looking at it."

"Then enjoy the dance music."

Concubine Shu yawned and said calmly.

"Master Yuwen, let the dance begin."

Concubine Duan nodded lightly.

"Respectfully obey the orders of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine."

"Get ready for the dance."

Yu Wenxi quickly shouted loudly.

"The teacher is preparing dance music."

As the chamberlains conveyed their instructions, musicians and dancers in various costumes had already gathered outside the hall.

"Uh, young master."

"It's not convenient to talk about it here."

"If the young master is free, he can go to Hongwen Hall in three days."

"How about a few drinks with the young master, young official?"

Du Wanqing said softly.

"The junior will definitely go visit the senior at that time."

Duan Chun nodded.

He didn't know what Mr. Du was thinking.

But this person is definitely a guy who knows everything in his heart.

He wanted to see if this person had anything to say to him.

Duan Chun was extremely curious, but the situation was different now.

He just sat there and stopped talking, looking out the door as two rows of musicians holding instruments bowed their heads respectfully and entered the hall.

There were also a large group of boys carrying musical instruments scattered on both sides of the hall.

Then a group of dancers and talents wearing various gorgeous dance skirts also entered the hall.

They all saluted to the three empresses.

"The queen, the noble concubine."

"The first dance is called the Dust Sweeping Dance."

Yuwenxi clasped his fists and said.

"Let's get started."

The queen nodded slightly.

The melodious music sounded immediately, and the dancers started dancing in the center of the hall...

Duan Chun sat there and watched for a while, then felt bored.

The music of ancient dances, especially court dances, is too bland.

The dance is also very solemn and seems a bit dull.

It was not as lively and joyful as the dances in the costume dramas seen on TV in later generations.

After all, this is a dance performed at a state banquet, not a dance for private banquets and palace entertainment.

After watching it, Duan Chun was too lazy to look any further.

He sat there concentrating on eating the snacks on the table and drinking tea.

I just want to wait for the time to pass quickly.

"Young Master, the dance music for state banquets is like this."

"Your Majesty asked the junior officials to come here, but they are just to help take a look."

"So as not to be embarrassed in front of the Northern Xia Mission and the missions of other countries."

Du Wanqing whispered in Duan Chun's ear.

Then he simply sat back, found a pillar to lean against, and fell asleep with his head tilted.

But he was thinking secretly in his heart, His Majesty asked him to attend the palace banquet review.

One is to let him keep an eye on whether the dance music and preparations for the palace banquet meet the standards of a state banquet.

So as not to lose the face of the Dakang Empire.

After all, Dakang and Northern Xia dynasties now stand side by side.

There are also envoys from various barbarian countries watching from the side. If he makes a fool of himself, it will be a big deal!

In addition, His Majesty also told him another thing.

That is to stare at Duan Chun, the eldest son of Duke Changguo...

Let’s see if this young prince is a useful talent?

Du Wanqing knew in his heart that His Majesty was waiting for his observation.

As long as he reports back to Your Majesty that this prince is no longer useful, Your Majesty will make new arrangements.

If this prince is a useful talent, your majesty may have other uses for him.

I just spent a few words with this prince.

Du Wanqing already understood that he could say that don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.

This prince is absolutely extraordinary!

It seemed even more amazing than what His Majesty wanted to see.

And this prince actually wants to be engaged to Princess Xian...

What is your Majesty doing?

So Du Wanqing has completed the most important task, and now he only needs to close his eyes.

Just stare at the dance music.

Duan Chun glanced at him in surprise.

I didn't expect this guy to be even more arrogant than me.

Since people can take a nap, why shouldn't they dare?

Duan Chun was indeed a little tired after thinking about plans for the day.

He lowered his head, pretended to be sitting upright, and took a nap with his eyes closed.

The melodious but too plain dance music continued.

Time is also passing by minute by second...

Although Duan Chun was concentrating with his eyes closed, he felt sympathy for the Queen in his heart.

I had to sit there all night and enjoy this kind of dance music that was not interesting at all.

Unconsciously, Duan Chun finally fell asleep with his head drooping...

The Empress glanced at Duan Chun's table on the left and saw that the boy had his head lowered and his forehead rested on the table.

The one next to Duan Chun was even more rude and fell asleep leaning against the pillar.

The queen smiled slightly and said nothing.

But Concubine Duan and Concubine Shu had also seen Duan Chun's appearance.

There was a dark and cold meaning in their beautiful eyes.

For the two noble concubines, Duan Ning, Duke of Chang Kingdom, was the person they feared the most.

They all wanted their son to become the crown prince, and they also secretly helped their children to consolidate their power.

But they knew better that if there was a disaster in the palace one day.

Duan Ning would definitely be the biggest trouble that would hinder their success!

Just as Concubine Shu was about to scold the two sleepy guys.

The queen suddenly spoke.

"Come here, send blankets to Prince Changguo and Lord Du."

"They are all exhausted because of the palace banquet and your majesty's state affairs these two days."

"Let them rest quietly for a while."

"Ahem..."

The queen ordered lightly.

"Yes."

The two maids behind her hurriedly took the blanket and walked towards Duan Chun.

"Queen, you are really the mother of the world."

Concubine Duan said lightly.

She had been waiting for Concubine Shu to take the initiative to cause trouble, but she didn't expect that Concubine Shu hadn't spoken yet.

She was stopped by the queen in advance.

This made her understand that Duan Ning was not only the most loyal general of his majesty.

In the future, he might be the queen's confidant and support the King of Qin.

For the sake of the emperor's son, she had to be on guard!

"Empress, there is only one dance left."

"This dance is called "Loyalty to the Country."

"It is supervised by the prince of Changguo, the minister of the Honglu Temple, Duan Chun, the young master."

Yuwen Xi took a look at the document and said loudly.

He deliberately shouted loudly, and Duan Chun, who was sitting not far from him, was awakened immediately.

The maid took the blanket and returned to the queen's side.

"Ah... my dance is here?"

Duan Chun raised his head and said in surprise.

"Yes, young master Duan."

"Next is your last dance."

Yuwen Xi nodded.

"Then let's start."

"I feel a little tired too."

"After watching it, go back to the palace and rest early."

The queen nodded.

"Yes."

All the ministers clasped their fists together.

A group of musicians and dancers filed into the hall at the gate...

"Don't be nervous."

"Just perform according to our three-day rehearsal."

Duan Chun stood up and reminded with a smile.

"I understand."

The musicians sat on the empty couches on both sides, picked up their instruments and began to prepare.

The dancers came to the center of the hall first, and then the sound of dense footsteps sounded.

A group of neatly arranged soldiers walked into the hall...
