Chapter 844 Elimination System: Abandoned Queen Vs. Cold-Blooded Minister 19
The banquet began, and the singers and dancers that Xia Yichu had arranged before filed in from all directions, and then started a new round of performances with the birth of Sizhu.
Xia Yichu sat next to the emperor.
Today, Xia Yichu also attended the event dressed up. She wore a bright yellow phoenix robe. With her delicate appearance and calm eyes, the temperament exuded by her body was incomparable nobility and perfection.
People from the An family also came today, and even because of their high status, they sat very close to the front, closer to Xia Yichu.
The parents of the An family clearly felt the changes in An Qingyu. She lost her previous free and easy and innocent attitude, and became determined and calm. There was also a bit of indifference between her eyebrows.
Seeing the changes in their daughter, An's parents felt happy and sad at the same time.
Someone who also noticed the change in Xia Yichu's temperament was Liu Zhengyun.
Liu Zhengyun had never discovered that his queen could be so beautiful and attractive.
Like a lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unsullied, she looks cold and holy, but it is precisely because of this holiness that people most easily want to tear apart her calm appearance and see how she can be conquered beneath her. What it will look like afterwards.
Liu Zhengyun's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Xia Yichu, but he concealed his expression very well, but after a moment, his attention was focused on the singing and dancing below.
As long as there are people, there will inevitably be comparisons.
Especially every palace banquet where officials are allowed to bring their families, no matter what the purpose of holding the banquet at the time, will eventually turn into a different kind of blind date banquet.
The literary style of the dynasty was not very open. Except for banquets, the wealthy young lady and the wealthy young men had almost no chance to meet in order to avoid suspicion.
Therefore, in order to show off one's talents and find a suitable husband, I don't know since when, it seems that every banquet will have official ladies performing a performance.
As long as you perform well, you can spread your name and be admired by more people.
And it doesn't matter if you don't perform well. If there are other performances that catch the eyes of a certain noble young master, it will be a sure win for you.
After the various beautiful dances ended, the official ladies actually proposed to perform.
In ancient times, official ladies stayed in their boudoirs all day long, not as a decoration. Although they were still young, they were not afraid of playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which they were good at.
Everyone drank for three rounds, whispering to each other and enjoying the performances of the official ladies.
After knowing that everyone's performance was over, the smile on the Queen Mother's face never faded because of her birthday today. After everyone's talent show was over, she also selected a few talented official ladies and rewarded them with something.
Xia Yichu originally thought that this should be the end.
She even gave Lingdang a look and asked her to ask the actors behind to get ready. After everyone had finished eating and drinking, they would move over to listen to the opera.
But at this time, Zhang Nana, who was sitting below, suddenly stood up from her seat.
"Your Majesty, today is the Queen Mother's birthday. I just watched the wonderful performances of all the ladies, and suddenly felt itchy. I remembered my dream when I was young. I wonder if I can take this opportunity to let me... My previous dream has come true." Zhang Nana stood in her position with a graceful figure. When she spoke, her voice was so delicate that just listening to it made men have the urge to have wild thoughts.
Her opening made everyone's eyes fall on her.
Every emperor was very possessive of his own things and would not tolerate sharing them with anyone else, and Liu Zhengyun was no exception.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were on Zhang Nana, Liu Zhengyun frowned and regretted for the first time that he had brought Zhang Nana out today.
"What's the matter?" Liu Zhengyun asked Zhang Nana.
Zhang Nana smiled, full of charm, and looked at Xia Yichu with her radiant eyes, "I have long heard that the Queen's dance is unique in the world. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it today?"
As soon as Zhang Nana said this, everyone was shocked.
The ladies of the official family performing in front of others are quite different from the concubines and the queen performing in front of others.
After all, the official ladies have not yet left the cabinet, and everyone present is either rich or noble. A performance is beneficial to both parties, whether it is the official lady who performs the performance or the officials who are watching.
But when the person who performs the art becomes a queen and concubines, it is inconsistent with common sense.
After all, she is the emperor's woman, and the queen has the body of a phoenix, which is something ordinary people cannot enjoy.
Does this Nana have any brains?
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Nana, especially the concubines sitting next to her. After hearing Zhang Nana's words, they felt even more disgusted with her.
The piracy system started to flash in the ears of Xia Yichu and Zhang Nana again, ding ding ding, all the increase was everyone's maliciousness towards Zhang Nana.
【Ding! The malicious value reaches 200! Reward the ‘Qin, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting’ skill! 】
【Ding! Obtain 20 points of disgust from the Queen! 】
【Ding! Get 5 favor points from Bo Yi! 】
Xia Yichu heard the last three lines of the system very clearly. The first two were forgettable, but what the hell was the last one? When did the system target Bo Yi?
Xia Yichu looked around and didn't see Bo Yi's figure below. He must have been hiding in the dark, and somehow he was found out by the piracy system.
Xia Yichu didn't answer for a long time. Zhang Nana felt a little impatient, but her smile on the surface was a bit provocative: "Isn't the Queen willing to agree? Isn't it okay today is the Queen Mother's birthday?"
As she spoke, her expression became depressed.
Zhang Nana never left the Queen Mother, obviously using her position to put pressure on Xia Yichu.
If Xia Yichu agreed, it would be a disgrace to himself, but if he refused, it would be a disgrace to the Queen Mother.
Xia Yichu suddenly smiled: "Okay, just think of it as a birthday gift from me to my mother."
Zhang Nana suggested this, so she naturally wanted to jump too.
After hearing Xia Yichu's agreement, Zhang Nana's face suddenly showed a determined look.
The two of them went down to change their clothes, followed by the palace maid.
Zhang Nana was so arrogant that she even walked ahead of Xia Yichu.
Lingdang was very disgusted with her, and whispered in Xia Yichu's ear: "Your Majesty, this Concubine Jade is so shameless. She just did that thing with the Prime Minister in the cold palace. When she dances later, Do you want me to take action and expose the evidence of her betrayal of the emperor?"
"This is a good idea, but after all, there are many people, so you don't care, I will do it." Xia Yichu looked at Zhang Nana's bumpy figure in front of him, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
