The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 173 Talent
At this time, the palace servant came to report that the dinner was ready and could be served.
The Emperor and Empress led the way, followed by the royal relatives, then the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, and all the important officials.
Hua Xiyu had to separate from Xie Zhiyi and sit down with their respective families.
"Can I sit with you?" Xie Zhiyi was a little reluctant. In her impression, Miss Hua was not as bad as others had rumored.
"Of course, but will it be allowed?" Hua Xiyu was really unsure. The ancients had too many rules, and she didn't have the energy to understand them all.
"After the banquet begins, there will be singing and dancing performances, and then the young men and women from various families will show their talents. Someone will definitely make things difficult for you, so I advise you to prepare early. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you embarrass yourself later." Xie Zhiyi prepared a sword dance. Anyway, no one cared whether she danced well or not, as long as she had a good show.
"What performance are you going to perform? Take me with you." Hua Xiyu looked at her pleadingly, sincerely asking for her to take him with you.
"No, that won't work. It's too late for you to learn the sword dance I'm performing now. I don't care. You figure it out yourself," Xie Zhiyi said and ran away quickly.
Hua Xiyu thought that it would be embarrassing to know nothing in front of so many people. Being too outstanding and knowing nothing would attract a lot of attention. The best way to hide was to be neither good nor bad, to blend in with the crowd and not let people remember him.
Hua Xiyu called A Tu and told him to go to the RV and get her violin. If she really wanted to perform, she could play a violin piece. In her opinion, she was an amateur violinist who could only play but was not proficient in it, and could not be compared with professionals.
The two little ones broke free from their father's hands and ran straight to Hua Xiyu. They had been learning from their mother these days, especially the grappling techniques taught by their mother, which were simple but effective. Yesterday, Dabao had a fight with someone in the school and knocked his opponent to the ground with just one move.
Erbao is even more powerful. When two little girls wanted to snatch her doll, Erbao simply knocked them down and stepped on them. "Mom said that the winner is to knock the opponent down and make him unable to get up forever."
The two little girls were cousins, one was six years old and the other was seven years old, both older than Erbao. They had always been the ones bullying others, and when had they suffered such a loss, they went home crying and complained, but it was not appropriate for adults to get involved in a fight between children, and besides, the other party was a princess, and the princess had suffered many losses at the hands of the sisters before, and they had never seen the other party come to cause trouble, so the parents could only swallow their anger.
Hua Xiyu focused on teaching his second child that girls are more likely to be bullied outside and must be able to protect themselves.
The two treasures ran towards her. She bent down and hugged them in her arms, "Did you have a fight with someone again?"
Hua Xiyu just asked casually, but he didn't expect that he would actually get into a fight with someone.
"That Tan Chaoyang tried to grab my sister's hair, but I chased him away." Dabao was afraid of being punished by his mother, so he lowered his voice.
"Well, well done. If anyone dares to bully your sister, you as a brother must help fight back." Hua Xiyu praised his son, saying that a brother who protects his sister is worthy of praise.
"Of course, we don't bully others actively, but we never allow others to bully us." She took the two treasures' hands and walked into the banquet hall.
"Really?" The brother and sister looked up and asked at the same time.
"Of course. My children, Hua Xiyu, must not be bullied by anyone," the mother and her two children said as they entered the hall.
The banquet hall was really big, with two people at a small table, and separate meals. She and Jiayi were left at a table at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she looked at Jiayi, who was about to take up the entire table, and simply ignored her, and took the two little treasures to Liu Jingcheng's side, and sat at the table next to Liu Jingcheng, leaving a seat for the two little treasures.
Some people noticed her and were curious about how she got along so well with Prince Hong's two children.
Liu Jingcheng looked at the mother and her two children lovingly, and glared back at those puzzled and malicious looks one by one.
The banquet officially began. Just as Xie Zhiyi had said, a group of singing and dancing girls entered the venue one after another. Musicians played music beside them and the dancers danced gracefully. Perhaps it was due to his profession, Hua Xiyu could not understand this soft and delicate dance, and he just thought the music was too monotonous.
After the song ended, the music troupe played a new song, which almost made Hua Xiyu laugh to death, "The Moon Represents My Heart", and then she heard other people's discussions.
"I heard that this is a new song that the Jiaofangsi specially went to learn."
"Hey, isn't that Miss Rouge from Liaozhai, the best zither player in the capital?"
Hua Xiyu looked at the stage and saw that it was indeed Yanzhi, who was holding a pipa and walking towards the center of the hall. Someone quickly brought a chair over. Yanzhi adjusted her posture, holding the pipa, and imitated Hua Xiyu's way of playing the pipa as if it were a guitar. She actually played "The Moon Represents My Heart" very well. After the song was over, she immediately played "Don't Step on the Wild Flowers by the Roadside".
Because the tune was cheerful and the melody was lively, it fit the atmosphere of the day very well, and the emperor was delighted when he heard it.
"Reward" The emperor was happy and gave generous rewards.
Yanzhi was also very happy. She was rewarded by the emperor. She would no longer have to live a hard life in Liaozhai for the rest of her life.
Hua Xiyu turned her head and saw three women sitting next to the emperor, the empress on the left and two on the right, whom she didn't know either.
Liu Jingcheng was very excited at the moment. He also saw the women around the emperor. On the right were Concubine De and his mother Noble Lady Ya. There were four concubines in the palace, all of them virtuous and virtuous. No matter how it turned, it would never be the turn of his mother, a noble lady, to accompany the emperor to attend such an important banquet.
He was filled with emotion. As a son, he had finally done something for his mother.
Yanzhi received the reward and left with the pipa.
Then the queen on the stage said calmly, "I wonder which young man or girl is willing to show his talent."
Hua Xiyu looked towards the row of generals opposite him, met Xie Zhiyi's eyes, and smiled knowingly.
Then she looked for something to eat. The dishes were pretty good, and then she discovered that there were mushrooms and bean sprouts. She really wanted to laugh, because she hated eating these two things the most because she was hurt by them when she was a child.
"Mom, this is not delicious." Erbao wanted to eat mushrooms, but she also refused bean sprouts. They were really not delicious. Why do everyone think they are so good?
"If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. It's not something rare," Hua Xiyu said softly to Erbao.
No one wanted to be the first to appear, and the Queen felt a little embarrassed. Chen Yaqian kept staring at Hua Xiyu. If looks could kill, Hua Xiyu would have been killed by her a thousand times.
She was the granddaughter of the old master. Although she was married into the Tan family, she attended the event with her family members, so her status was naturally relatively high.
At this time, she walked slowly to the middle and said, "I would like to play a song to entertain Your Majesty and Your Majesty, as well as all the gentlemen present here."
Hua Xiyu naturally would not listen to the songs they played seriously. She was concentrating on scooping mushrooms from Erbao's bowl. It was rare that Erbao liked to eat them. Erbao was also like many picky little girls. Eating was her biggest problem. However, after Hua Xiyu's training recently, her activity level increased and her appetite also increased. It was rare that she came across something she liked to eat, so she naturally had to satisfy her.
Then she heard someone calling her name.
"Mom, mom," Dabao gently pulled her clothes, signaling her to pay attention to the field.
"Last time at the banquet at Prince Xuan's Mansion, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion said in person that she knew astronomy, geography, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. I dare to ask, could you please ask Miss Hua to show us a few things so that we can broaden our horizons." Chen Yaqian bent her knees and saluted, looking at Hua Xiyu.
Hua Xiyu just raised her head because Dabao was pulling her clothes, and her eyes met Chen Yaqian's. She understood that this woman took the initiative to perform just to pull her out. It seems that the lesson she had taught her was not enough. Today she must be trampled into the mud to prevent others from causing trouble for no reason. Today she even came to cause trouble in person.
"Tsk" someone suddenly sneered in the audience, followed by a buzz of discussions, all of which were full of contempt and ridicule.
"People who grew up in Shuiyue Temple don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. How much real talent can they have?"
"How arrogant."
The emperor sitting on the high platform also looked at Hua Xiyu. Only then did he realize that she was not sitting in the prime minister's seat, but was sitting next to Prince Hong's seat. It seemed that it was not impossible for an engaged couple to be together, but it seemed a little too impatient.
"You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already acting as someone's mother," Zhou Liyao complained with disdain, and then more people said unpleasant things.
Hua Xiyu pretended not to hear. Although she didn't understand why these people were so hostile towards her, they were still annoying after all.
She stood up generously and walked to the center of the field. "Ms. Chen, please don't leave. From the tone of your voice, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with me. How about you give us a question? Astronomy, geography, chess, calligraphy, poetry, whatever. Let's compete. Anyone present will count. Just give us a question. If you are dissatisfied, please stand up and let's compete."
The whole audience was shocked by this. They thought he had calmed down, but they didn't expect him to be so crazy still.
Liu Jingcheng knew that she was very capable, but she couldn't challenge everyone alone. He quickly walked to her side and said, "I will accompany my future princess to compete with you all."
No matter what, just be there for her. Winning or losing is not important. The key is to shoulder the responsibilities that a man should shoulder.
Dabao and Erbao also quickly stepped in and said, "Don't bully my mother, my mother is the most powerful."
Erbao stood in front of Hua Xiyu, and his little baby voice filled the entire venue.
This caused an uproar in the whole audience again. No one expected that Miss Hua had already conquered the two children, and before they even got married, they already called her mother.
Several male guests were unwilling to accept the defeat and stood up to compete. Then came several women who had been humiliated by her last time. Then there were their fiancés who also wanted to get back at her. In short, the anger that had been pent up in their hearts finally got the chance to be vented. Everyone seemed a little excited, as if they were about to trample her into the mud, waiting to cheer when they saw her in such a state of disgrace.
"I want to compete in playing the piano. Wanran lost the last time because she cheated. But I will not lose to you this time."
The one who spoke was Zhou Liyao. She didn't have time to get involved at Prince Xuan's Mansion before that idiot jumped into the river. Let's see what way she can think of to escape this time.
