Traveling back and forth from ancient times to the present, the prince pursues love in the modern ti

Emperor Xiao Jing secretly listened to the discussions of the people below and silently curled the corners of his lips.

In the past, the food at palace banquets was basically just for show, cold and unpalatable. Everyone either came with a full stomach or left hungry.

This year is different. I will definitely make them all go back holding on to the wall.

What followed was the same old song and dance performance, and people who knew each other started chatting.

Du Ruoxi and Qingyang kept looking at Xia Youan. They are now wives and mothers, and their figures have become fuller.

However, Xia Youan, who was four or five years older than them, was still the same.

While they were competing for favor with the concubines at home, she appeared happily in front of everyone, holding the hand of the King of Chu. How enviable.

Liang Peishan was on the King of Chu's side, and the ministers' families were too far away to chat with them. Those who were closer to the general's wife asked enviously.

"The General's wife looked the same at the banquet a few days ago. How come she looks so much younger in just a few days? And how did she do her hair? It looks so beautiful!"

The general's wife gave General Shan a proud look and said, "See, everyone says that I, your wife, am young."

"Oh, I haven't taken care of myself much. Isn't it true that Rong Jie and Rong Hao found two such outstanding daughters-in-law? I'm in a good mood, full of energy, and naturally look younger."

The other ladies couldn't help but roll their eyes at her after hearing this. They said, "Let's see whether we believe your nonsense or not!"

Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou looked at each other with mutual admiration, and expressed their admiration for the general's wife for being able to win a daughter-in-law no matter what she said.

Shan Rongjie and Shan Ronghao were also extremely speechless, but they could not offend his mother in front of outsiders. Otherwise, even though he was over 50 years old and had old arms and legs, he would not look old at all when he beat them up.

The two men each took a bite of food and fed it to their wives, which made the group of people opposite them look envious and disdainful.

Tsk~ What future can you achieve by revolving around your wife all day?

But when I think about his official rank, forget it, he has the ability to favor me!

"Oh, your Rong Jie and Rong Hao have found wives? Congratulations, Madam General!"

"What do you mean he has found a wife? My son has never met such a good one before, and he doesn't want to compromise himself!" The general's wife firmly refused to admit that no one wanted her son.

"Haha~ Madam is right!" The other party agreed with a forced smile, and asked, "Whose family is your daughter-in-law from? Why haven't I seen her in the capital before? How many?"

"Of course I haven't seen it. Both of my daughters-in-law are from Beichuan."

Several ladies began to feel disdain for Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou in their hearts.

Tsk~ What are you showing off for?

How could he be born into a prominent family in such a remote and poor place?

Maybe she's the daughter of an ordinary merchant? Only a family like that would be willing to marry a young girl to such an old man.

Someone started to grumble, "Haha, the little girl is quite lucky, an old man and a young wife, the age gap is big enough and they know how to care for each other."

Hearing this sarcastic voice, Liang Luowen turned around and said, "Auntie, I'm not young anymore. I'm not much different in age from Rong Jie."

The 28-year-old aunt smiled awkwardly at the 31-year-old girl.

Just when everyone in the song and dance performance was about to fall asleep, it was time for the daughters of each family to go on stage to perform.

"Which lady will come first?"

Xia Youan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we learned a dance before we came here, so why don't we start the show?"

Emperor Xiao Jing looked at him doubtfully, thinking, didn't Xia Youan say he didn't know anything? But since he volunteered, he must have made preparations.

"Haha, all right. No matter how you dance, I'll reward you handsomely afterwards!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but we've only been rehearsing for two days. If I dance badly, Your Majesty, please don't laugh!"

"Okay, okay, hahaha~"

Xia Youan waved his hand, Xing Yinan, Liang Luowen, Lin Youyou, Xian Ling'er, Chun'er, Qingying, and Xie Youzhi?

Did you read that right?

Why did Xie Youzhi follow behind?

Several people went to the side hall to change clothes. Xie Youzhi said aggrievedly: "Sister, how did I make you unhappy? Tell me, can't I change? Wuwuwu~ You can't bully your brother like this!"

"Baozi, if you don't help me, not only will my people be lost, but your boyfriend will go dancing dressed like this, do you have face?" Xie Youzhi complained to Xing Yinan again.

Xing Yinan patted Xie Youzhi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I won't abandon you even if you get lost!"

"Thank you~"

Xie Youzhi was forced to put on makeup. After they were ready and put on makeup, the seven of them lined up and walked out.

Xie Youzhi was standing at the end of the line, raising his sleeves to shield his face, but with his height, was he really necessary to do so?

Xie Youzhi's appearance caused a burst of laughter.

"Hahahahaha~ Thank you, sir. Is the last one your eldest grandson?"

Censor Xie turned his head away and didn't dare to look. He didn't know this guy!

Emperor Xiao Jing almost laughed out loud.

Chu Moyuan took a lot of photos of Xie Youzhi. He wanted to preserve this precious video for Xie Youzhi so that he wouldn't be the laughing stock in the next few decades.

Xie Youzhi saw Chu Moyuan taking pictures of him all the time, and hid behind Xing Yinan in shame and anger.

Brother Mo, there is no love anymore!

"Your Majesty, please don't laugh. It's New Year's Day, and we're just trying to have fun for everyone.

The name of this dance is "Night Banquet at the Tang Palace." My level of performance is definitely not comparable to that of the noble ladies, so just watch casually. "Xia Youan said.

Just when everyone was still laughing, Zhang Peng turned off the lights in the hall at the door, and the hall was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Before anyone could react with alarm, they heard the sound of stringed instruments, and then the dim lights surrounding the dancers gradually brightened. A group of young maids appeared before them.

Everyone present tried their best to keep quiet, but some of them couldn't help laughing.

As the dance progressed, Xie Youzhi and Xing Yinan brought the images of the two adorable little maids to life, and everyone became more and more fascinated as they watched.

This is much more attractive than the dance performed by the dancers just now.

"Thank you, Imperial Censor! I didn't expect your grandson to have such talent! He dances beautifully!"

The atmosphere suddenly changed from ridicule to praise. Censor Xie stopped hiding and watched the performance openly.

You know what, it’s really good!

After the dance was over and the lights were turned on, everyone was still reluctant to leave.

"Can I have another one? I haven't seen enough~"

Xie Youzhi looked at the man and said in a hoarse voice: "If you want to come, come and learn only this one!"

"Then you can dance again, we won't be picky!"

Emperor Xiao Jing hadn't seen enough and stared at Xia Youan and the others.

"Your Majesty, it's useless to look at us. We have only learned this one dance and can't do any others!" Xia Youan said.

"Watch and enjoy!"

The palace maids brought in trays of rewards one after another, and there were eight trays in total.

After receiving their rewards, Xia Youan and his companions returned to the side hall to change their clothes.

When they returned, a curious person stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this light is amazing. I heard General Shan say that his daughter-in-law is even more amazing than the students at the Imperial Academy. Could you please help us understand this?"

Liang Luowen and Lin Youyou: "..."

If I don't explain, I won't be able to get over this matter, right?
