Strange love across time and space

While she was eating, she heard Ding Xiang's voice next to her: "Qing Qing, eat slowly." Su Qing looked up at her doubtfully, and saw Ding Xiang's eyes looking around. Su Qing saw the ladies around her. They eat food in small bites, and wipe their mouth with a handkerchief after taking a bite. When they drink wine or tea, they also cover it with their sleeves. Even the male guests opposite me eat more politely than I do. Thinking about the way she drank and ate meat just now, Su Qing smiled sheepishly at Ding Xiang, because Su Qing never followed the rules when eating at home, and there weren't that many rules at home, so she was used to it. So she put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, then followed the example of ladies and took a sip of fruit wine covered by her sleeves. King Jin, who had been paying attention to Su Qing from above, couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw this scene.

While everyone was eating and drinking, a group of palace dancers lined up. After forming a formation, a flute sounded and they began to dance. Su Qing watched them dance, and felt that they were not as showy as in later TV series, but they were also very beautiful, especially all of them with graceful waists and handsome looks. She saw that many ministers and young men at the male guests' table had forgotten to eat their food. .

After the dancers finished dancing, they heard the queen say, "You ladies, if you have any talents, can you show them to everyone to entertain you." Su Qing knew as soon as she heard this that this disguised blind date had begun again. She saw excited expressions on the faces of many ladies sitting there, as if they were waiting for the queen to say this. Some quickly asked their maids to get the instruments for the performance, and some went directly to change clothes. Sure enough, they all came prepared. At this time, Mrs. Jiang regretfully whispered to Su Qing, "Oh no, I forgot to ask about the process of this palace banquet. We didn't prepare any talents." Su Qing ate braised pork and said to her mother, "First, I don't plan to get married, who can I show this to? Secondly, mother, what talents do you think I can use to show off?" Jiang looked at Su Qing and sighed and said, "You were good at playing the guzheng when you didn't have amnesia. It's okay. Forget it, my mother didn't say anything." Su Qing turned around and asked Ding Xiang, "Sister Ding Xiang, are you ready for your talent?" Ding Xiang shook her head, "I have a bad reputation. Even if I go up to perform, I will make people laugh." Su Qing turned to ask Ding Xiang. Qing leaned her head over again and asked, "Does Sister Dingxiang have a man she likes?" Dingxiang blushed and shook her head. At this time, Su Qing inadvertently looked up and saw her parents and her eldest brother looking at her meaningfully across the way, Damn! What kind of look is this? Do you think I have no talent? Or is it pity that I have no talent? Su Qing rolled her eyes at them and continued eating.

At this time, a young lady sitting near the front stood up and walked to the middle, saluted the emperor and empress and said, "My maid Ye Rumeng would like to play the piano to entertain you all!" The emperor nodded repeatedly. The woman named Ye Rumeng nodded to her maid, and saw two maids walking up carrying the guzheng, and behind them there were two little eunuchs carrying the guzheng frame. After placing it, Ye Rumeng sat down and started playing. While Ye Rumeng was playing, Ding Xiang told Su Qing, "This Ye Rumeng is the niece of Concubine Xian and the granddaughter of Prime Minister Ye Mingfan. Ye Mingfan only has one son and one daughter. Her daughter Concubine Xian is pregnant due to childbirth." The second prince is quite favored, and his son Ye Cong is now serving in the civil service department. Ye Rumeng is Ye Cong's youngest daughter, who is fifteen years old. Ye Cong also has a son, who is twenty years old." Su Qing clicked. He nodded to show that he understood.

Ye Rumeng played the song "Mountains and Flowing Waters". Ding Xiang told Su Qing about this, and Su Qing had never heard of it. Anyway, she thought it sounded pretty good. Here we go! After the song was played, the audience burst into applause. Ye Rumeng stood up, saluted and thanked her before going down.

Next up was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She saluted everyone with a jade flute, and then started playing. Su Qing didn't understand what she was playing, so she continued to enjoy it while eating.

Later, several girls came on stage to perform, some performed painting, some performed musical instruments, and even Xiao Yuhan's flatterer Chen Yilin also danced. Su Qing watched with great interest. The ladies of the ancient world were all really talented. Each one of them could compete with the teachers of special classes in later generations. It seems that a lot of effort has been put into it. One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage. , In order to get a good marriage, it is really not easy for these girls! Su Qing watched these performances, her mouth was busy, and before she knew it, she had almost eaten all the food on the table, and actually drank a bottle of fruit wine. When Jiang reminded her, Su Qing was surprised to find out , everyone had few chopsticks on the dishes on the table, she curiously asked Ding Xiang next to her, "Aren't you all hungry?" Ding Xiang looked at her almost empty plate and said with a smile, "It's my fault that I didn't tell you in advance, In order to maintain the influence at the banquet, these people all ate some at home in advance. Especially those young ladies who are not married. It would be very rude if others see them eating so well at the dinner table." Then she apologized. She said, "I'm sorry, Qingqing. I'm not saying you're rude. I like your personality very much. You're not coquettish or pretentious. Really, you have to believe me." Su Qing saw her anxious look and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry. . I believe you!" Ding Xiang felt relieved. She was also worried about losing a friend like Su Qing. At this time, she looked at Su Qing with red cheeks and asked with concern, "Qing Qing, have you drank too much? Yes?" Don't you feel uncomfortable?" After Su Qingjing Dingxiang said this, she felt that her face and neck were hot, her body was also hot, and her head was still a little dizzy, so she sighed and said, "I didn't expect this wine to have quite a strong stamina." Jiang said Shi whispered to the side, "I told you not to drink so much, but you didn't listen!" Su Qing asked doubtfully, "When did you say that? Why didn't I hear you?" Jiang Shi rolled his eyes at Su Qing, "I told you. Sometimes you just focus on the performance on stage." Su Qing said "Oh". He leaned his body against the back of the seat and fell asleep. She seemed to remember that the Phantom had used voice transmission to remind her twice not to drink. I must have been so absorbed in watching the performance that my brain automatically ignored it. At this time, Su Qing just hoped that the banquet would end quickly so that she could go home and sleep.

When the unknown girl finished her performance, the fourth prince Zhao Linhan stood up and said to the emperor, "Father, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. Why don't you let all the princes and ladies use the moon, reunion, and moon cakes to represent the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Recite poems and compose lyrics, and see who does the best job, he will be rewarded! What do the father, the queen, and the queen think?" The emperor and the queen looked at each other, smiled and nodded. The emperor said, "Han'er's idea is a good one, so I'll take it first. Give something as the first prize!" All the guests looked at each other, guessing what treasure the emperor would bring out. The emperor nodded to Eunuch Xi. Eunuch Xi waved his hand, and a maid behind him brought up a tray. The emperor personally opened the red cloth covering the tray, and saw a large white jade Ruyi with gold edges displayed on it. In front of his eyes, the jade was transparent and round. Everyone was praising the exquisite workmanship and priceless value of Ruyi. Only Su Qing opened her blurred eyes and wondered if the emperor could exchange this treasure for money.
