Chapter 495 Dance Offering!
For a time, many officials looked puzzled, all secretly observing Shen Ninghua’s complexion. When the Emperor was still in exile, he was married to the Empress, and after they were married, the two of them had a deep bond, and the Emperor had even reprimanded the officials many times for the Empress, telling them not to always stare at the Harem.
Now that the Emperor has the intention to take a concubine, the Empress Mother’s heart should be very uncomfortable, right? Only, to the disappointment of the crowd, no matter how they looked at it, the smile on Shen Ninghua’s face was impeccable, making people feel that the smile was beautiful and noble, but they couldn’t see the slightest bit of real emotion.
Numerous officials have no way, they can’t directly ask, ask the Empress whether you don’t want to see the Emperor take a consort ah, are you jealous ah? At that time, without the Empress’s hands, the Emperor would directly fork them out to death.
Tusu Qingyun bowed to Shen Ninghua to the end, ”My daughter is young and uninformed. I heard that she is also quite uninformed in the palace. Thank you, Empress Mother, for understanding her. Today, when I entered the palace, the first thing I wanted to do was to donate all of my family’s assets, and another thing I wanted to do was to thank you more for my daughter for taking care of her on behalf of the Empress Dowager.”
Shen Ninghua smiled, “Tusu family head is too careful with this statement, this palace is not someone who cannot tolerate others, furthermore, Miss Tusu is extraordinarily understanding, and has not caused much trouble for this palace, no matter what, Miss Tusu is the Emperor’s rescuer, and based on this point alone, this palace will not be bothered with her.”
Many newly promoted officials secretly think, the Empress said not to take into account, visible that Miss Tu Su or in the palace to cause problems, think about it, some time ago rumors flying, said the emperor fortunate Tu Su family of young lady, do not think about it, this is fortunate to be in the royal family, if in the civil world, whose daughter has not yet been married to rumors of who was slept with, this is to be directly pulled to the sinking of the river!
Tusu Qingyun said, “The grass people are terrified in their hearts, and I thank Empress Dowager for her forgiveness. Today, the grassroots also have an unforgiving request, I ask that the Empress agree.”
“Oh? I wonder what the request is?”
“The straw man came to the palace this time because he wanted to take his little daughter back.”
Shen Ninghua was also surprised now, “Leading Miss Tu Su back?”
“Yes, some time ago, the palace came all kinds of rumors, but also once said that the little daughter was the emperor … This is really let the grass people heart shame, no words to face the family ancestors, today, the grass people will be the little daughter to lead back, in accordance with the rules of the family disposal. The emperor and the empress mother’s deep love, ten thousand can’t produce any unpleasantness because of the little daughter.”
Shen Ninghua heart are secretly to Tu Su Qing Yun called good, this move good strategy ah, earlier she has personally recognized Tu Su Qing Li on the emperor has the grace of life, he now will Tu Su Qing Li led out to death, so that she does not help Tu Su Qing Li open pleading can not. Moreover, he just said that the people have spread the word that the Emperor is fortunate to have Tusu Qingli, so as a father he wants to dispose of his daughter, and once she stops her from disposing of her daughter, she will inevitably have to give Tusu Qingli an identity.
“I think that Tu Su family master has not seen your daughter for a long time, why don’t you take today’s opportunity to meet?” Shen Ninghua didn’t pick up on his words at all, but directly diverted the topic, her status today is the Empress, she can say whatever she wants, what can you do if you don’t pick up on it?
Naturally, Tusu Qingyun didn’t dare to uninterestingly continue to pursue the matter and could only nod his head and say, “Yes, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, to put it mildly.”
Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at Hongling, “Have Tu Su Qingli and Wei come?”
“Reporting back to Your Highness, it’s already been here for about a quarter of an hour and is waiting outside the palace.”
“Declare them to come in.” Shen Ninghua was not surprised, long before the banquet started, Wei had passed word through Zuo Qing’s wife into the palace, saying that she wanted to see her own daughter at the banquet, which was clearly revealing her own scheming. Shen Ninghua did not intend to stop, since Tu Su Qingli wanted to make a splash, then let’s see what she can do, why not?
Baili Junyi saw a new fruit plate on his table and hurriedly picked Shen Ninghua’s favorite fruit and handed it over, “Ninghua, eat while watching, there’s probably a good show later.”
Shen Ninghua returned a smile, dazzling and dazzling.
Many officials see the emperor’s action, can not help but sigh in their hearts, the Empress Mother life of beauty, wisdom is also rare among the women of the world, this Tu Su Qing Li and step Linglong even if it is really into the palace, can please the emperor’s favorite?
However, most of the officials don’t care, after all, as men, they think they still quite understand the inferiority of men, which one is not fond of the new and hate the old? No matter how beautiful the Empress Mother is, she is still an old person, it is still a new person who has a fresh feeling!
“Declare an audience with Wei and Tusu Qingli!”
Hearing the slightly sharp notification of the chamberlain, Tu Su Qing Li fiercely clenched her palms and couldn’t help but slightly pursed her lips, an imperative light flashed under her eyes as she tidied up her clothes and walked slowly into the main hall along with Wei.
The officials in the hall all looked toward the door with interest, they had heard about the beauty of this Tusu Qingli, and wondered how it compared to the Empress?
Tusu Qingli walked in smoothly with small steps, and the crowd couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cool air after seeing her. They weren’t stunned by her beauty, but by the clothes she was wearing.
“This … this is ingenious …”
“Incredible, truly incredible …”
Tusu Qingli’s clothes were also chosen to be red, however, this red was not the color of the fabric, but the color of the gems embellished on top of the clothes. On this body of clothing, large peonies of the national color were embroidered, only that it wasn’t silk thread that embroidered these peonies, but a round and flawless gemstone jade bead.
Although the sky was not dark now, but the great hall was lit with candles, and under the illumination of the candles, those peonies seemed to come alive, swaying with soft or dazzling light, blossoming wildly on top of their skirts, so beautiful that people could not say anything!
Hearing the surrounding admiration on, Tu Su Qing Li heart can not help but settle down some, the pace of a graceful walk to the center of the main hall, kneeling down to Baili Jun Yi, “Folks daughter Tu Su Qing Li has seen the emperor, seen the Empress …”
As she moved, the dress became more and more dazzling and eye-catching, causing the crowd to be unable to stop their eyes from falling on her.
Baili Jun Yi’s eyes flickered, his heart was unimpressed, “Level off.” It seems that this Tu Su family is really strong ah, this dress is afraid that it is worth 10,000 gold, I think that the 30 million taels, is not necessarily the Tu Su family’s entire family property ah!
Waiting for Tusu Qingli to get up, only then did the crowd come back to their senses from the shock of the dress, and they couldn’t help but look at Tusu Qingli’s face, which was rather disappointing at first glance. The Empress Mother was also wearing a red dress today, but what they were shocked by at first glance was her beauty. This Miss Tu Su, however, was completely suppressed by the dress, obviously lagging one step behind ah!
After saluting, Tusu Qingli couldn’t help but look at Tusu Qingyun, “Father …”
A gentle color flashed in Tusu Qingyun’s eyes, but on his face, he looked extremely serious, “Sinner, do you know your mistake?”
Tusu Qingli hurriedly knelt down, “Qingli knows that she is wrong.”
“Since you know the wrong, think also understand what will be the end, for the father has reported to the emperor and the empress, today will take you to leave, back to the family, will be according to the family law will be your death …” said, Tu Su Qing Yun’s voice is a little hoarse, as if it is Can’t go on speaking generally.
Tusu Qingli had tears in her eyes, “My daughter is unfilial, causing my father to be disappointed and sad, but my daughter is not remorseful, to be able to help His Majesty, my daughter is willing.”
“You … Empress, my daughter has caused you trouble.”
Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, “The Tusu Family Lord’s father-daughter love is really touching to watch.”
Tusu Qingli raised her eyes, tearful eyes looking towards the towering Baili Junyi, “Your Majesty, this farewell, I’m afraid that we will never have the chance to see each other again it, the folk daughter has prepared a dance that she wants to dedicate to Your Majesty, please Your Majesty oblige.”
Baili Junyi nodded, “Well, granted.” After half a day’s effort, for the sake of not now, how could he not agree.
Wei has already stood to the side, looking at Tu Su Qing Li’s performance, secretly nodding, is still satisfied. Just Tu Su Qing Yun heart is not optimistic, originally thought that everything will be extremely smooth, but now the action but always feel everywhere was restrained, could it be that the emperor knows something? Or that the heart is annoyed at what Qingli did before?
A few moments later, the candlelight in the hall dimmed slightly, and a huge drum was lifted up and placed in the center, and after a burst of candlelight dimming, Tusu Qingli made a light jump and jumped onto the drum surface, sending out a slight thud.
The crowd could not help but secretly nod their heads, this was to enter the drum dance, looking at the formation just now, it was indeed good.
Suddenly, Tu Su Qing Li danced, at this time, the dress on her body was as if it bloomed with brilliance, under the illumination of the candle flame, peonies of various colors of precious stones competed with each other, and between the rotations, it was as if colorful butterflies flew out, so beautiful that it was dizzying to the eyes.
But Tusu Qingli’s sight was always watching Baili Jun Yi, eyes with tears, sight as if sobbing, sorrowful and euphemistic feelings overflowing, the crowd could not help but brainstorm a series of entangled and sentimental emotional entanglements.
Baili Jun Yi Si but not at all moved, cold eyes watching Tu Su Qing Li’s move, the frost under the eyes is so strong that it almost can not be melted.
The sound of the drums went from low to high, and the sound became more and more intense, drawing the crowd’s full attention and appreciation, and their minds couldn’t help but whisk along with the drum beats. Just as the whole dance was nearing its end, suddenly four screens were sent up.
Just as the screen was planted on all four sides, Tusu Qingli stopped dancing, her skirts slowly falling apart to regain her composure.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, “Quick, look at the screen above …”
Only to see that on top of the screen, a peony picture was reflected, and with four screens, the pattern on each screen was different, it was simply ingenious!
Tu Su Qing Li raised his eyes, eyes clear as water, with no complaints and deep feelings, because of the intense dance, the forehead seeped out silk fine sweat, more and more attractive and moving.
The officials could not help but freeze, originally thought that Tusu Qingli’s appearance is not outstanding, the original is because she deliberately show, her every move just now is clearly extremely beautiful …
