Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

The emperor was delighted and announced loudly: "Today's palace banquet officially begins."

As the emperor finished speaking, the musicians played cheerful music, and the dancers in gorgeous costumes lightly walked into the center of the banquet hall and danced gracefully. Their dancing was graceful and moving, like butterflies flying among the flowers, with their skirts fluttering like colorful clouds.

At the banquet, delicious dishes and fruit plates were presented one after another. The delicacies were delicious and full of color, fragrance and taste, which made everyone praise them endlessly.

Qinghe sat next to Bai Shuyu and enjoyed the food. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

"Sister-in-law, it's time for a performance soon."

Bai Shuyu stroked her bulging belly and said with a smile, "It's about to start."

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Gao sang loudly: "Young ladies from all families, please come on stage and perform."

As soon as Chief Steward Gao finished speaking, the young ladies from various families began to gear up, ready to show off their talents at this palace banquet.

The first to come on stage was Miss Li, the daughter of the Minister of Works.

She was wearing a light pink silk dress, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Miss Li, holding a pipa, walked lightly to the center of the banquet hall and sat down gracefully.

Her fingers gently plucked the pipa strings, and melodious music immediately flowed out.

The music sounded like a plaint, as if telling a touching story, making people intoxicated by it.

When the song ended, everyone applauded and cheered.

The queen smiled and said, "Miss Li's piano playing is beautiful, and you can understand the elegance of her music by listening to her music. Enjoy."

Miss Li bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."

The next person to come on stage was Miss Mu from the General's Mansion.

Miss Mu was dressed in a red outfit, looking heroic.

She held a sword and danced in the center of the banquet hall.

Her sword skills are sharp and her body is agile, like a blooming flame, full of vitality and passion.

Miss Wang's performance won applause from the crowd.

Afterwards, young ladies from other families also took to the stage to perform. Some played the piano, some sang, and some danced. Each show was brilliant and a feast for the eyes.

While these ladies were performing, Qinghe and Bai Shuyu were enjoying the show and chatting quietly.

Sometimes they applauded and cheered for the wonderful performances, and sometimes they marveled at the performers' skills.

The atmosphere of the entire palace banquet was warm and cheerful, filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

During the banquet, ministers would stand up from time to time to toast the emperor, expressing their respect for the emperor and their best wishes for Dasheng.

The emperor also responded with a smile and raised his glass, sharing this happy moment with his ministers.

Baili Haoxuan sat between Qinghe and the Crown Princess, looking at everything in front of him excitedly, his little face full of joy.

He tasted delicious food and fruits from time to time, and gently swayed his body to the rhythm of the music. His innocent and lovely appearance made everyone laugh again.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, a woman in a goose yellow dress slowly stood up, walked to the center of the banquet hall with light lotus steps, and bowed gracefully.

She opened her red lips and said, "Yan'er is willing to dance for the Emperor, the Empress, and everyone else."

The Queen smiled and said, "Princess Wanqing is back. I remember that Princess Wanqing's dancing was praised by everyone in the capital. Let's start!"

"Yes."

After saying this, the musicians immediately changed the tune and a melodious melody sounded.

Princess Wanqing danced gracefully, like a fairy descending from the earth. Her eyes drifted to a certain place from time to time, her eyes full of love.

When the dance was over, the crowd burst into applause.

The Queen praised: "Wanqing's dancing is outstanding, it is rare. Appreciation."

After Wanqing bowed to express her gratitude, she suddenly turned her gaze to Qinghe.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Princess Jiahe is extremely talented. Today we will perform, and I wonder if Princess Jiahe dares to come on stage and compete with us?"

Princess Wanqing looked at this woman from a farming family, her lips slightly raised and her eyes filled with provocation.

Qinghe was slightly stunned and did not respond for a long time.

Bai Shuyu glanced at Qinghe and corrected her, "Princess Wanqing, you are wrong. Princess Jiahe was the name of Princess Chen before she got married. You should call her Princess Chen now."

After saying that, the Crown Princess pulled it gently, frowned slightly and said:

"Sister-in-law, this person is the only daughter of the King of Lingnan and the lover of my second brother. She just returned to Beijing recently."

Princess Wanqing chuckled and pretended not to know: "So Princess Jiahe got married. Does Princess Chen dare to perform on stage?"

Baili Ye: "My princess, just watch everyone's performance, no need to perform."

Princess Wanqing looked at Baili Ye with resentment, "Brother Ye, you can't protect her. How can she be your princess and know nothing?"

Then he looked at Qinghe and said disdainfully, "I see. I heard that Princess Jiahe was from a farming family, so it's understandable that she can't perform. It's me who is making things difficult for her."

Baili Ye: "Who are you? How dare you address me and my princess like that?"

The people in the audience were also whispering, disagreeing with Princess Wanqing's behavior of provoking Princess Chen on New Year's Day.

"Princess Wanqing was too careless to openly provoke the princess."

"Yes, doesn't she know that the princess is the most talented woman in Daxia?"

"He is also an extremely talented person in our Dasheng."

Qing He looked at this agitated rival, slowly stood up, and said calmly: "Princess Wan Qing has invited me so kindly, Qing He will accompany me."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Qinghe, looking forward to her performance.

Qing He bowed and said, "Father, Mother, please allow me to go down and prepare."

"Okay." The emperor replied.

Qinghe went down, and Baili Ye followed closely behind.

After a while, Qinghe walked gracefully to the center of the banquet hall, smiling and nodding slightly to everyone.

Afterwards, several eunuchs carried up a peculiarly shaped musical instrument, and everyone looked curious.

Qinghe sat down gently, placed her hands on the black and white keys, closed her eyes slightly, and after a moment, clear and melodious notes flowed from her fingertips like running water.

The sound was different from any instrument they had ever heard before, new and moving.

Then, Qinghe opened her red lips and sang a cheerful and festive New Year song.

Her singing is clear and melodious, full of warmth and blessings.

"Hey

开心 的 锣鼓 敲 出 的 喜庆

Beautiful dance brings joy every day

阳光 的 油彩 涂红 了 今天 日子 哟

生活 的 花朵 是 的 笑容

Hey

today is a good day

心想 的 事儿 能 成

today is a good day

打开 了 家门 咱 迎春风

Hey

The lanterns outside the door are shining red

Beautiful songs convey deep affection

The watercolor of moonlight brightens tomorrow's day

The beautiful world is in our hearts

Hey

明天 又 是 好 日子

千 金 的 光阴 能 等

明天 又 是 好 日子

We have caught up with the prosperous times and enjoy peace

today is a good day

心想 的 事儿 能 成

明天 又 是 好 日子

千 金 的 光阴 能 等

Today and tomorrow are good days

We are enjoying peace in a prosperous era."

As the singing began, the entire banquet hall seemed to be injected with new vitality.

Everyone was attracted by the wonderful music and singing and immersed in it.

Princess Wanqing's originally confident face also revealed a look of surprise and jealousy.

When the song ended, the audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into warm applause and cheers.

The emperor was delighted and exclaimed:

"Princess Chen is indeed very talented. This song is original and unique, and full of festive meaning. It is just right for the New Year's atmosphere. Enjoy!"

The queen also smiled and nodded in praise:

"Princess Chen's performance was truly unique and eye-opening. The musical instrument was novel and the singing was even more moving, adding a lot of brilliance to this palace banquet.

I wonder what this instrument is?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Mother, this new musical instrument is a piano, a new type of musical instrument."

The prince stood up and said, "Your sister-in-law's talent is admirable. Today's song is a good start for the new year."

"Yes, this song is not only suitable for the occasion, but also has a profound meaning and a unique singing style. Princess Chen is the number one songwriter in Dasheng. She is indeed a talented woman."

The ministers echoed: "Princess Chen is indeed a remarkable woman, not only is she extremely intelligent, but she also has such talents. We are so lucky."

"Yes, this song should only exist in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world? Princess Chen is truly a combination of talent and beauty."

"This new instrument complements the singing perfectly. Princess Chen's talent is amazing."

Baili Haoxuan clapped his hands excitedly: "Auntie is so amazing, this song is so nice."

Baili Ye was very proud of it. He walked to the piano, took Qinghe's hand and said:

"My princess is the most perfect person in the world. She cannot be bullied by just any cat or dog."

Princess Wanqing bit her lip. Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that Qinghe was outstanding. She sat down silently and said nothing more.

Baili Ye sent the person back to his seat. Bai Shuyu looked at Qinghe with a smile, her eyes full of admiration:

"Sister-in-law, you really opened everyone's eyes today. I like your new instrument very much. Would you mind teaching me?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Of course, I will teach you after you recover from giving birth."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

The queen looked at her daughter-in-law who had returned to her seat and said with a smile, "Princess Chen has a unique mind, her singing voice is lingering, and I will give you a set of ruby ​​head ornaments."

Qinghe bowed to express her gratitude and ignored Princess Wanqing who had provoked her.

The palace banquet continued amidst laughter and joy, everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere, and it was gradually coming to an end.

Baili Ye stood up and said to the emperor and the queen: "Father, mother, in order to add a festive atmosphere to the palace banquet, the princess has specially prepared a surprise for everyone."

The emperor smiled and asked, "Any more surprises? Tell me what the surprise is?"

Baili Ye bowed and said, "Please ask Father, Mother, and everyone else to move to the Imperial Garden and you will see for yourself."

Qing He added: "The noise may be a bit loud in a while, please ask the relatives who are taking care of the children to cover their ears to avoid scaring them."

After everyone followed Baili Ye and Qinghe to the Imperial Garden, they saw that the night sky was completely silent, as if waiting for a grand miracle.

Qinghe and Baili Ye arranged everyone to stand in fixed positions with mysterious smiles on their faces.

"Everyone get ready, fireworks will be set off in a moment, you can enjoy them."

After a moment, Baili Ye raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to get ready.

Then he nodded to the guard next to him.

The guards acted quickly and lit the pre-arranged fireworks fuses.

The sound of the burning fuse was particularly clear in the silent night sky, and everyone's heart was lifted.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shot up into the sky, accompanied by a loud bang, and a colorful flower bloomed in the air.

The flower was like a huge gem, emitting brilliant light and illuminating the entire imperial garden.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden beauty and exclaimed in amazement.

Immediately afterwards, more fireworks rose into the sky, blooming in various shapes and colors.

Some are like shooting stars across the sky, dragging long tails of flames, as if writing beautiful poems in the night sky;

Some cascade down like waterfalls, gleaming with silver and gold light, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the sky;

Some are like blooming peonies, gorgeous and charming, with layers of petals and colorful colors;

Some are like flying butterflies, light and agile, dancing in the night sky.

The emperor looked up at the sky, his eyes full of surprise and admiration. "Is this the fireworks? So magical and beautiful!"

The Queen held the Emperor's hand tightly, her face filled with joy. "Your Majesty, these fireworks are truly beautiful. I have never seen such a spectacle before."

The ministers also whispered to each other in amazement.

"This firework is truly unprecedented. Princess Chen and King Chen are able to bring such a novelty."

"Such a beautiful scenery is truly a blessing for Dasheng."

The children jumped and shouted excitedly, pointing at the fireworks in the sky and cheering.

"Look, what beautiful flowers!" "Like stars!"

Baili Haoxuan's eyes widened, his face full of excitement. "Uncle, aunt, what is this? It's so beautiful!"

Bai Shuyu was also shocked by the beauty of the fireworks. She gently stroked her belly and said to Baili Ting beside her:

"The fireworks are so beautiful. When our child is born, we want him to see such a beautiful sight."

"Don't worry, we will set off fireworks every New Year's Day from now on."

At this time, someone exclaimed: "Look, the fireworks have turned into words, peace and prosperity for the country and the people!"

"Really, the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous."

“Behold, there is peace and joy!”

“And good health!”

"Really, really, this is amazing! This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen!"

The fireworks show lasted for a while, and finally, it slowly came to an end amid the admiration, praise and brilliant light of the crowd.

However, everyone was still immersed in the beautiful scene and could not come back to their senses for a long time.

They know that this New Year, because of these magical fireworks, will become an unforgettable memory in their hearts.

The emperor and the empress were also shocked by the beautiful scene. They held each other's hands tightly with relieved smiles on their faces.

The emperor sighed, "These fireworks are truly beautiful. Princess Chen and Prince Chen are so thoughtful."

The Queen nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, these fireworks put a perfect end to this palace banquet and also bring blessings for the New Year."

Everyone was immersed in this beautiful atmosphere, feeling the joy and happiness of the New Year.

Baili Haoxuan was very excited watching the lively scene. He took the Crown Princess's hand and said:

"Mother, it's so lively here! Xuan'er really likes the fireworks here."
