0015 Palace Banquet (2)

“Reporting to my father, Hua Xuan has been very busy with the wedding recently, so she is feeling a little unwell, so why not let her son perform instead!” As soon as Huang Zitong finished speaking, Li Yiwen immediately stood up, knelt on one knee in the middle, and did not forget to give Hua Xuan a reassuring look.

“Oh? Today the sixth son also brought the second young lady of the Hua family?” The emperor, who had been concentrating on admiring her, had not yet reacted when he heard Hua Xuan’s name, but when he saw the always low-key sixth son actually came out to intercede for her, it seemed interesting!

They were all called out in public, and everyone’s eyes turned to Hua Xuan’s position, which made Hua Xuan have to step out, not to mention the emperor’s face was full of interest. If she didn’t step out now, I’m afraid she would be accused of contempt for the emperor.

“The little girl Hua Xuan comes to meet the Emperor.” Hua Xuan walked to the middle and knelt side by side with Li Yiwen. She lowered her head to show her daughter’s attitude.

Huang Zitong didn’t expect that Li Yiwen would stand up and cheer for Hua Xuan. She originally wanted Hua Xuan to make a fool of herself at the banquet and let Li Yiwen know what kind of woman Hua Xuan was. Then Li Yiwen would take the initiative to break off the engagement with Hua Xuan. Then she would ask the emperor to grant her a marriage. This was really a clever plan.But now, Li Yiwen actually defended Hua Xuan like this, which really made her jealous, and her resentment towards Hua Xuan became even deeper.

“Raise your head and let me see your face clearly.” The emperor saw the worried look on Li Yiwen’s face, which aroused his interest in Hua Xuan.In fact, he has always been curious about why his sixth son, who has always been low-key, took the initiative to ask him to propose marriage, and the candidate for marriage was an unknown woman.

At first, he thought he had heard wrongly. Li Yiwen liked the eldest daughter of the Hua family, but he repeatedly emphasized that she was the second daughter, so he ordered someone to investigate Hua Xuan’s identity. It was really surprising. The sixth son, who had always been lonely and proud, actually liked a woman with no talent, no appearance, and no reputation?He thought the information he got was wrong.

When I saw Hua Xuan’s appearance today, not to mention compared to his daughters, even the maid standing next to him was prettier than her. I really don’t know why Li Yiwen took it wrong.Now that someone has paved the way, he might as well take this opportunity to see what kind of ability this Hua Xuan has to be able to charm the sixth son who is full of knowledge.

“Yeah, she’s a nice girl. Have you ever read a book? Why don’t you show your skills to all of us?”

“Father…” When Li Yiwen heard what the emperor said, he raised his head worriedly.He knew that Hua Xuan was concealed and her abilities were definitely much stronger than those of ordinary women. He must have confidence in Hua Xuan, but in his heart he didn’t know whether Hua Xuan was willing to perform.If Hua Xuan is allowed to go out and be in trouble, it is better to bear the burden for him.

Before Li Yiwen finished speaking, Hua Xuan pulled Li Yiwen’s clothes.Don’t you understand what the emperor means?Don’t I just want to watch her perform?Why are you beating around the bush? Fortunately, when she was at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, she knew that it would not be easy for her to come to this banquet. Someone would definitely embarrass her, so she prepared some things.

“Reporting to the Emperor, my daughter has studied before, but she is stupid and not good at reading, so she does not dare to perform tricks in front of everyone. However, my daughter has liked to watch folk acrobatics since she was a child, and has learned a little bit. If the emperor forgives my offense, I am willing to perform.”

Hearing that Hua Xuan had folk skills and taking care of the palace dances, the emperor immediately became energetic. After all, these layers of palace walls repeated the same thing day after day. He had long been tired of watching these dances every day, so when he heard that Hua Xuan had something new to perform, he immediately smiled and said, “I’m going to play it right.”

After receiving permission, Hua Xuan stood up shyly. Since few people present had seen her normal appearance, she didn’t have to work so hard to pretend. What’s more, she wanted to resist and become stronger now, letting everyone who looked down upon her know that she, Hua Xuan, was not that easy to bully.

Hua Xuan stood up. Because she was not allowed to wear a cloak when she was coming to see the emperor, she put the things hidden in the cloak into the sleeves early. Anyway, the sleeves in ancient times were so wide that it was easy to hide something inside.

Hua Xuan bowed to the Queen, and then said to her: “The Queen, I’m offended. Please look at my little girl’s hands to see if there is anything strange.”

When the queen saw Hua Xuan’s yellow and dark hands, she shook her head in embarrassment. She didn’t know what Hua Xuan was going to do and why she asked such a question, but she was also looking forward to what Hua Xuan’s folk skills were.

Hua Xuan walked to the Queen’s side. She felt the Queen’s stiff rejection, but she still tried her best to squeeze out a smile on her face, and then said to the Queen: “Then Queen, please watch out.”

Hua Xuan stretched out her hand and passed by the Queen’s neck. She felt that the Queen was trembling and looked at her with some resentment. If the Emperor hadn’t looked at her with interest, the Queen would have killed her long ago.

I saw Hua Xuan conjuring a small jewelry box out of thin air from behind the Queen’s neck. Such skill amazed everyone present. They all stretched their necks to see more clearly. Were they deceived just now? How could Hua Xuan conjure something at this moment?

Hua Xuan happily returned to her original position, raised her hands and presented the jewelry box, and then shouted, “Congratulations to the Queen for getting the treasure. This is my little heartfelt tribute to the Queen.”

The queen touched her neck, and she began to wonder how Hua Xuan could conjure things. She remembered that she didn’t hide anything here, and she conjured that thing in such a short time.

A palace maid handed the jewelry box in Hua Xuan’s hand to the queen. The queen opened it and saw that the five-color flower ring made of yellow pure gold shone against the five-color gemstones. Although the style of the ring was relatively common, the ring was hollowed out. When worn on a woman’s slender jade finger, it looked really graceful and luxurious.

When the emperor saw that the queen, who had always had a high eye for jewelry, couldn’t put down the ring presented by Hua Xuan, his affection for Hua Xuan immediately increased. What’s more, he couldn’t see clearly how Hua Xuan conjured things out of thin air at such a close distance, so his interest in Hua Xuan became even more intense.

“It’s a very exciting show. Can you perform it again so that I can see it clearly?”

She knew that the emperor would not let her go so easily. Fortunately, she had second-hand preparations, so she stood up again and walked towards Concubine Shu.

This time, every step Hua Xuan took attracted everyone’s attention. People who had not seen Hua Xuan’s performance clearly stretched their necks. Even Li Yiwen, who has always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable, was puzzled after watching Hua Xuan’s performance just now.

Hua Xuan walked towards Concubine Shu. Because of the foreshadowing just now, Concubine Shu was not nervous at all about Hua Xuan’s closeness. She even showed excitement on her face. Her eyes were fixed on Hua Xuan’s hand, for fear of missing a second.

Hua Xuan still stretched her hand towards Concubine Shu’s neck. She conjured a palm-sized paper ticket out of thin air and handed it to Concubine Shu on the spot.This time she performed the magic even faster than the last time. She did everything before anyone could do it, which surprised and annoyed everyone present.

Concubine Shu looked at the paper in her hand, and she looked at Hua Xuan with some confusion. Although she could see clearly that the words “Green Leaf Pavilion” were written on the paper, what could this mean?

“Hui Shu, this is the newly launched membership card of Luye Pavilion. With this card, you can get tailor-made clothes at Luye Pavilion.” Hua Xuan replied neither humble nor overbearing.She knew that there must be many people looking at her now, and she had to close her cuffs, otherwise she would get too excited and expose her secrets, which would be bad.

When she heard that it was the membership card of the Green Leaf Pavilion, Concubine Shu clenched the paper excitedly. She recently liked the clothes of the Green Leaf Pavilion, which showed her figure without being vulgar. Since she put on the clothes of the Green Leaf Pavilion, every time the emperor saw her, the emperor would look at her more. This situation made the queen envious for a long time.

“Okay, very good! It’s wonderful!” The emperor saw that the two women beside him were very satisfied with Hua Xuan’s gift, and Hua Xuan’s performance also conquered everyone, which really amazed him!”Then can you tell me how you changed it?”

The biggest taboo in playing magic is to tell others the tricks. How could she dig her own grave? So Hua Xuan lowered her head with an apologetic look on her face and said, “Reporting to the emperor, I promised my master that I cannot tell secrets unless I am my apprentice.”

Everyone was greatly disappointed when they heard Hua Xuan’s answer, but the emperor didn’t care. What he liked most was to solve things that he couldn’t figure out. It was boring to ask others to tell the answer. It was best to come up with it yourself.So the emperor waved his hand, and Long Yan said happily: “That’s it! That’s it! If you don’t say it, don’t say it. Send the order, and you can enjoy the flowers and get a hundred taels of gold.”
