The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The show begins!

The palace maids walked into the stage to the beat of drums, dancing with their long sleeves and graceful postures.

The lead dancer held a bouquet of flowers in her hand, her cape fluttering, and she stepped on the drum and sang loudly.

"Love is just an ordinary thing, nothing unusual..."

The opening voice astonished everyone, and Xu Keke was even more shocked.

Oh my god, no way!

If I remember correctly, this song should be the theme song of "Carmen". How come I can hear it here?

Chu Musheng, who was beside her, grabbed her hand, which brought Xu Ke back to her senses.

At this time, the palace maids came in lined up with delicious dishes made by the imperial kitchen and placed the exquisite dishes on the tables of the nobles.

Palace family banquets often adopted the separate dining system, with each table seating a maximum of two people.

Chu Musheng and Xu Ke sat at the same table.

The Empress Dowager had one all to herself.

The little emperor and the empress dowager sat on the same table.

Some people sat alone at other tables, while others shared tables.

The palace maids in the field were spinning and jumping, like petals flying in the spring, light and agile.

Eating delicious food and enjoying singing and dancing is indeed a nice enjoyment.

After the dance, everyone applauded and cheered.

The Empress Dowager was very pleased and waved her hand to indicate the reward.

Another zither player came on stage and played. The sound of the zither spread out like ripples on the water, and then echoed back again, lingering in the ears.

Just as everyone was immersed in the music of the piano, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.

"Although the music is beautiful, it is somewhat lonely."

The little emperor looked at the empress dowager with questioning eyes.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and took over the words from the Grand Empress Dowager.

“If there is harmony between poetry and words, it will be perfect.”

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded.

"How about asking all the royal family members present here to compose an impromptu poem?"

Everyone agreed.

Chu Musheng looked at Xu Keke with an unclear look in his eyes.

Xu Keke straightened his head and immediately perked up.

Is this how you usually play?

Or do you want to launch a sneak attack on this princess?

This princess had her brain damaged when she was six years old, and she is not proficient in poetry or songs.

Xu Ke's eyes rolled around and he had an idea in his mind.

After a while, several royal family members waved to the palace maids and asked for paper and pen to write down the poems they had just composed.

After it was written, it was handed over to the eunuchs serving the Empress Dowager, who read it out in public.

The first one was written by a prince.

"The music of the grand banquet is melodious, the dancing figures are graceful and intoxicating. The bright moon shines on me with affection, and the spring breeze has no intention of leaving."

Everyone nodded in praise.

Next is a poem by a princess.

"At the palace banquet, laughter filled the air, and delicious delicacies filled the hall. There was singing and dancing in the joyful atmosphere, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air with a lingering fragrance."

The Empress Dowager smiled in appreciation.

The Queen Mother also presented a poem.

"Delicious food and fine wine intoxicate the heart, the harmonious music of zither and qin lasts for a long time. The prosperity of the prosperous times is all in sight, and the spring breeze caresses my face and makes me feel relaxed and at ease."

As soon as this poem came out, everyone applauded again.

When the applause died down, the Queen Mother looked at Xu Ke with a smile.

"Princess Sheng may not know this, but royal banquets have always been a tradition of reciting poetry to liven up the atmosphere. I wonder if Princess Sheng has any expertise in this area?"

What accomplishments are you? I can tell from one glance that your majesty the queen has bad intentions.

Xu Ke was secretly dissatisfied, but still had a faint smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I am not talented, but I would like to compose an impromptu poem."

Xu Ke bowed slightly.

The Queen Mother raised her chin slightly and signaled the eunuch to bring paper and pen.

Xu Ke was about to take it when Chu Musheng got there first.

"My beloved concubine, writing poetry takes a lot of brainpower. Why not let me write it for you?"

This child is teachable, this child is teachable. The dog prince actually still remembers that my handwriting is not good.

Xu Ke nodded with satisfaction and began her recitation.

"You must be happy in life, don't let the golden bottle face the moon.

I was born with talent that will be useful, even if I lose all my money, I will get it back.

After a pause and looking at Chu Musheng's copying progress, Xu Ke slowed down his voice and continued to recite.

"Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is fun, and at the party we must drink three hundred cups. Master Cen, Mr. Danqiu."

Every sentence he read shocked everyone.

There was silence.

Only Xu Ke's voice echoed in the hall.

"Let's drink, don't stop. I'll sing you a song, please listen attentively.

Bells, drums, and jade are not expensive, I hope I’m drunk and don’t want to wake up.

Since ancient times, saints and wise men have all been lonely, only drinkers leave their names. "

After the whole poem was read, the audience was so adored that they were completely lost in thought.

Chu Musheng, who was writing poetry, felt his heart tremble.

My beloved concubine is so talented!

This poem can be regarded as a masterpiece of all time.

Xu Keke finished reciting Li Bai's "General's Wine" without feeling any burden of plagiarizing other people's talent.

What? Li Bai wants to sue me?

He has gone to the jungle to teach people how to steal wild monsters. How could he have time to care about me, a ghost that has traveled into another world!

Thinking of this, Xu Ke bowed to everyone.

"My humble work has caused you to laugh at me."

The Empress Dowager applauded first and said with a smile:

"Princess Sheng's poem is majestic and full of artistic conception. It is truly a masterpiece! This is not just a humble work; it truly opens my eyes."

Everyone echoed the praises, and for a while, the hall was filled with endless sounds of praise.

The Queen Mother's expression was rather ugly.

She originally wanted to embarrass Xu Keke, but unexpectedly she ended up being in the spotlight.

But at this time, he could only force a smile and agree with the Empress Dowager.

"Princess Sheng is extremely talented, but I underestimated her before."

Xu Ke smiled slightly.

"Mother, Queen Mother, you are too kind. I was just expressing my feelings at the time."

Chu Musheng looked at Xu Keke with eyes full of admiration and love, and whispered in her ear.

"My beloved concubine is so talented, and I am very pleased. How about serving her well tonight?"

Xu Ke felt something tighten when he heard that.

He quickly took the spoon and fed himself a few mouthfuls of the nourishing soup.

The Dog Prince not only looks good, but he is also very useful.

Xu Keke swallowed the tonic soup, glared at Chu Musheng coquettishly, and whispered:

"Your Highness, we are still at the palace banquet, please don't talk nonsense."

Chu Musheng smiled brightly, attracting everyone's attention again.

At this time, the Empress Dowager spoke again.

"Princess Sheng is so talented, I wonder if she received any guidance from Sheng'er?"

Chu Musheng stood up and saluted.

"My Lord, I have been so busy with government affairs that I have neglected to exchange poetry with the princess. Now it seems that this is my loss."

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded.

"Such a beauty and talent would be a great story in our dynasty. I hope Princess Sheng will give me a grandson as soon as possible!"

Xu Ke hurriedly stood up and saluted, but he didn't know how to respond.

The Empress Dowager, who looks very much like my mother, is no longer urging me to get married like my mother did. Instead, is she urging me to have children?

I don't know if there's anything wrong with my body.

The original owner had never been pregnant in her memory.

Shen Qingfeng’s two sons were not born to the original owner, which also shows that the problem is not with Shen Qingfeng.

Now that Xu Yuanyuan is married to Shen Qingfeng, she can probably get pregnant, right?

I don’t know if Xu Yuanyuan’s pregnancy will conflict with the child Shen Qingfeng brought back from outside?

You can't tell everyone they're twins, right?

My imagination is so unrestrained that I almost run to Java.

If Chu Musheng hadn't pulled her back in time, she would have wanted to go to Shen Qingfeng's second son.

"My beloved, please sit down. I have answered for you."
