Chapter 279 A Song, a Dance, and a Banquet

"Is the princess asleep?"

Zhao Shun entered Jialan Residence and saw Shen Qinglan lying on the couch, so he asked Fu'er next to him.

Fu'er nodded, and responded in a low voice: "Princess just fell asleep."

"Oh……"

Zhao Shun went out, and Murong Bo also came to the door of Jialanju.

"Subordinate Murong Bo, I have met the prince."

"You came at a good time, help me set up a banquet in the main hall of Jialan Residence, and invite the three ladies from the mansion to come over for dinner."

"Yes."

Murong Bo muttered in his heart, what does the prince mean?
When the banquet was almost ready, Shen Qinglan also woke up, and Zhao Shun was reading the new book written by Wang Fuwen next to her.

"Are you awake? I have prepared a banquet in the main hall, let's go together."

Shen Qinglan shook her head, walked to the dressing table and yawned. Seeing that the princess had woken up, Fu'er quickly brought hot water to wipe her face.

"I know that the Empress Dowager has sent two old mothers, and you are not feeling well, just to have a good time tonight." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan was puzzled, "Lively? Are you still preparing for a small show?"

"Well, that's not true, but I'm ready for today's performance." Zhao Shun said, walked to Shen Qinglan's side, and picked up the gemstone hairpin on the dressing table.

"My concubine is quite generous, even giving away such good things." Zhao Shun said again.

"After all, it was sent by the empress dowager, so I can't neglect it." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun put the hairpin into her bun, "These hairpins are a bit old, I'll ask the craftsman to make some better ones for you someday."

"Bu Yao is always easy to hang on the hair, and it is inconvenient to move, so forget it. Besides, how old are these hairpins?" Shen Qinglan said.

"This hairpin has been worn for a long time, so it is naturally old. I know an old craftsman who makes jewels and emeralds. I will make some new hairpins for you later." Zhao Shun said.
-
The banquet was placed in the main hall, and the three ladies also entered the table on time.

Zuo Yinger's attire is fairly simple and elegant, Zhuo Zihong seems to be wearing all the valuable jewelry on her body, Zhuang Yunqiao is not inferior, her hair is full of jewels and heavy makeup.

Zhao Shun and Shen Qinglan were sitting at the main table, Zhuo Zihong got up first, held up the wine glass and said: "Today is a fine day, and my daughter-in-law respects the prince and the princess. I wish the prince everything goes well, and the princess stays young forever."

Zhao Shun nodded in satisfaction, seeing that she was still sensible, so he gave her face and drank a glass of wine.

Shen Qinglan also picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and just put down the wine glass, Zhao Shun spoke again.

"Since the three young ladies were carefully selected by the empress dowager, they must be talented. I wonder which young lady can dance?" Zhao Shun asked.

Just as Zhuo Zihong sat down, she stood up again, and said, "Reporting to the lord, my daughter has studied for a while, but I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the lord."

"Then invite Miss Zhuo to dance a section, but it's the period of national mourning, and there is no preparatory music class in the palace, the other two, would you like to accompany Miss Zhuo?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Back to the lord, Miss Zuo is good at playing the piano, why not let her accompany Sister Zhuo." Zhuang Yunqiao.

Zuo Ying'er stood up gracefully, thinking that she finally had a place for herself. She has practiced piano for many years, and she will be able to surprise everyone with her skills and overwhelm Zhuo Zihong's limelight.

"If the prince doesn't dislike it, then the servant girl will come and accompany sister Zihong."

"Okay, then you come. Murong Bo, get someone to prepare the piano table and bench, and get another piano." Zhao Shun said and looked at Zhuang Yunqiao again, "Miss Zhuang, what about you?"

"The courtier is not good at piano skills, nor is she good at dancing. She is only good at embroidery. Some time ago, the courtier stayed up all night to sew a sachet for the prince. Please, the prince will not dislike the humbleness of the courtier's daughter."

Zhuang Yunqiao took out the belt, sat down and handed it to Murong Duan.

Murong Duan handed the belt to Zhao Shun again, Zhao Shun glanced at it and nodded, "It's really good, Princess, what do you think?"

"Miss Zhuang's embroidery is one of the best, so it's not bad." Shen Qinglan said.

"The princess likes it too, Ms. Zhuang, then please make another jasmine sachet and present it to the princess." Zhao Shun said, and put the sachet on the table casually.

"Thanks to the concubine who thinks highly of it, the courtiers should serve themselves." Zhuang Yunqiao said.

Zuo Yinger sat down in front of the piano table and exchanged glances with Zhuo Zihong.

Zhuo Zihong took off the heavy headdress, flung up her long sleeves and danced gracefully.

Zhao Shun watched with relish, clinked glasses with Shen Qinglan from time to time, and asked, "What do you think of Miss Zhuo's dance?"

"The dancing posture is beautiful, the figure is slender, very good." Shen Qinglan said.

"Well, since you like it, you don't have to tell them to idle. It's not bad to listen to a song or watch a dance when you are bored." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, did he regard the three ladies sent by the Empress Dowager as zither dancers?

The first emperor was newly mourned, and Zhao Shun was the regent, so the family couldn't support musicians and dancers, but these three were ladies from the royal family, so naturally they couldn't be counted.

But he himself is fine, if he is not there, the mansion still regards them as dancing and piano skills, wouldn't the Queen Mother be blamed if it was spread out?

After giving up the dance, Zhao Shun clapped his hands, "Okay! As expected, he is chosen by the Queen Mother. His dancing posture is outstanding and his piano skills are amazing."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

Zhuo Zihong and Zuo Yinger returned to their seats, raised their wine glasses to toast the prince and princess in the main seat again.

"The concubine looks like a fairy, and she was born in the first imperial merchant family, so she must know a lot of dance music, right? How about the concubine let us open our eyes?" Zhuo Zihong asked with a smile.

Zhao Shun's face was still clear and cloudy just now, but it suddenly became cloudy, and said coldly: "What is the status of the princess, how can she do such a thing to please people? Miss Zhuo, please be careful, even if you are the empress dowager, please It's just a thing in our palace, don't drag the princess into it."

Yan'er on the side couldn't help chuckling, as expected of a prince, what she said was so relieved!
"Yes... it's my daughter's slip of the tongue." Zhuo Zihong lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Since you have come to my garden, you must respect my master and don't make trouble for no reason. Everyone looks good in front of the queen mother. The dance music is exquisite, and the embroidery of the sachet is also exquisite. Murong Duan, three rewards Each lady is 100 taels." Zhao Shun said.

"Yes."

Murong Duan clapped his hands, and the three servants came to the hall with the silver in their hands, and handed it to the three ladies.

Although the three of them were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to express it blatantly. They could only bite the bullet and accept the reward, and then stood up to thank them.

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward."

Shen Qinglan looked at Zhao Shun, and Zhao Shun also looked sideways at him,

"Princess, please."

Zhao Shun raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine with Shen Qinglan.
