Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 10 Goodbye Scumbag
Soon, Huo Qinglan was brought out by the maid and changed into a dance dress.She was wearing a tulle, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, her slender figure was tightly bound by a belt, and her slender waist was full of grip, which was quite cute.The woman shook her wide sleeves, tiptoed lightly, and danced gracefully.

Huo Qi looked coldly at the beauties who were dancing happily in the hall, she was so charming, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

In her previous life, she lost face because of falling from a horse, and she did not come to the Qiuju banquet.But she heard afterwards that Huo Qinglan danced a neon dress dance, which won a lot of applause, and even His Majesty praised it.

People in the capital praise her for being the best in both sex and art, and she is worthy of being the number one lady in the capital.

She and Huo Qinglan have been sisters for a lifetime, and they know her harmlessness on the surface and the scheming in her heart best.Yuan Shao's favorite is this neon dress dance, and he even wrote a poem praising the beauty of the orchid dancing in the southern country.Today, Huo Qinglan happened to dance the neon dress dance.

Is it a coincidence, she doesn't think so.

Huo Qinglan has an unreasonable arrogance in his bones. He usually looks down on those dancers and singers, and only likes to dance, write and write poems.But the people in the main hall are doing what she disdains to do the most.

She doesn't like dancing, but she can dance for Yuan Shao.

What she wants is not the applause of the guests, but the favor of Yuan Shao alone.

Things in the world have been foreshadowed for a long time, and the affair between the two of them probably started at this Qiu Ju Banquet. Unfortunately, she was unaware of it in her previous life.

Huo Qinglan, is it really so satisfying to please a man who killed his wife and son, and betray his sisterhood?

Just as he was thinking, Huo Qi looked towards the male family seats.

Yuan Shao was admiring the dance of the people in the hall, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.He seemed to feel a gaze, tilted his head, his eyes met Huo Qi, he smiled, his eyes were full of affection, it seemed that whoever rejected him would be heinous.

Huo Qi looked away indifferently, with obvious disgust on his face.

She and Yuan Shao studied together in the Imperial College since they were young, and the two families are family friends with a very close relationship.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan only has one son, Yuan Shao. After seeing her for the first time, he laughed and said, "Only Qi Qi is worthy of my son."

At that time, she didn't know that the world was difficult and people's hearts were fickle.She and Yuan Shao read books and rode horses together, full of the laughter and affection of boys and girls.

She thought that was love.

In fact, at that time, the two of them were just living in childish and narcissistic ideals. Their relationship only existed in the ivory tower of singing and dancing. Once they encountered storms, they collapsed instantly. Didn't their own tragic deaths confirm this?
This hypocritical man, Chao Qin Muchu, is really disgusting.

Yuan Shao was taken aback by Huo Qi's gaze. Just now, her eyes showed undisguised disgust and disgust.

Does she actually hate him?

Inexplicably, the interest in enjoying the dance just now completely disappeared, and there was only indescribable depression and irritability in my heart.

The two looked at each other for only a brief moment, but they were caught by Princess De'an at the women's banquet.

She has been paying close attention to Yuan Shao's every move, but now seeing Huo Qi's flirtatious flirt with his cousin, she immediately felt a fire in her heart, wishing to tear Huo Qi apart.

She gritted her teeth, thinking about how to make Huo Qi suffer a lot.

After a cup of tea, the girl in the hall danced, the beauty was dripping with sweat, her eyes were like autumn waves, she had a special charm, and some people in the hall wanted to stick their eyeballs to her.

"Miss Huo's second dance is really good, three points better than that dancer in the palace!" Some guests whispered.

Huo Qinglan was overjoyed, and secretly glanced at Yuan Shao who was sitting at the men's banquet, but saw that the man was staring at the wine glass, wondering what he was thinking, and immediately felt overwhelmed with disappointment.

"Miss Huo Er is a good dancer, worthy of the title of Fairy under the Moon." The man on the dragon chair said.

Huo Qinglan's attention was drawn back, and she blessed her body: "Thank you for your compliment, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

However, before the emperor could speak, a woman in palace attire stood up in the women's banquet.

It was Princess De'an.

She said with a half-smile: "Father, the second miss Huo is not the only one who is outstanding in this Huo family. Miss Huo has always been famous for her poems and books, and she has the demeanor of Ning Guogong back then."

Turning her head to look at Huo Qi, there was a wicked look in her eyes: "Why don't Miss Huo come to perform as well? Don't spoil everyone's interest."

Princess De'an's words were provocative, and what she said was not very respectful, that's all.

In fact, people in the capital often say that Huo Qi has no talent but is just a vase.Ning Guogong used to be the teacher of the current emperor. He was well-read and memorized, and he had a brilliant literary talent, but the daughter he taught did not inherit his talent.

Princess De'an's move was clearly intended to embarrass Huo Qi, and more importantly, to embarrass Duke Ning.

As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

In fact, De'an's words were a bit hard to come by, but De'an's biological mother was the concubine Shu, whose favor was boundless, and the emperor on the throne seemed to be happy to see it happen.

Although she was domineering, no one dared to say anything fair for a while.

Some people went to look at the faces of Ning Guogong Huo Ruhai and Wang Shi, but they didn't notice anything.The couple's faces were calm and composed, and no one saw that Huo Ruhai's palms were already slightly sweating.

Huo Qi, who was pointed to, sneered in his heart, blessed his body and said, "Since the princess wants to see it, today is the autumn chrysanthemum banquet, how about using the chrysanthemum as an image and writing a poem?"

Princess De'an was taken aback for a moment, she wanted to keep Huo Qi from coming to the stage, seeing how she knelt down and begged for mercy, she was able to vent her anger.

But she didn't expect that Huo Qi didn't panic at all. She snorted and said bravely: "The princess will just wait and see."

Princess De'an and Huo Qi spoke back and forth, swords and swords, discerning people had already seen that the two were not getting along, and there was a commotion in the female family seat next to them.

"I only heard that Miss Huo's family likes to ride horses, but I haven't heard that she has any accomplishments in poetry and books?" The round-faced lady whispered.

A lady with a pointed chin spoke up: "Are you asking for help? In this situation, wouldn't Miss Huo have to bite the bullet?"

Yuan Shao at the men's table had a flash of thought in his eyes, and he was also a little puzzled.He studied in the Imperial College with Huo Qi since he was a child, and he knew that Huo Qi didn't like to use kung fu in poetry and books, so why did he agree so readily now?
Not long after, several young eunuchs brought up a table covered with rice paper, and the ink had been ground, just waiting for Huo Qi to get started.

Everyone saw the woman in the main hall with a calm face and a dignified demeanor. She thought for a few seconds before starting to write a poem.

After a while, the snow-white rice paper was soaked in ink, and a few lines of flying characters appeared.

Everyone in the hall held their breath, wondering what would happen next.

After half a cup of tea, Huo Qi put down his pen and bowed to the man on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, my servant is ready, please take a look."

Princess De'an's face changed slightly after hearing this. Didn't she say that Huo Qi was a vase? Did she really write it out for her?

She pulled her neck to see what was written on the rice paper, but she couldn't see it.

The man on the dragon chair waved his hand, and several young eunuchs came over and stood up the rice paper so that everyone in the hall could see it.One of the little eunuchs began to read:
"One mountain, two mountains, the mountains are far away, the sky is high, the mist is cold, the water is cold, and Acacia Maple Leaf Dan.

The chrysanthemums are blooming, and the chrysanthemums are incomplete. "

After the little eunuch finished reading, the crowd applauded.

If Huo Qinglan's neon dance just brought everyone visual enjoyment, Huo Qi's poem made people feel suddenly enlightened and clear-minded.

Perhaps because Huo Qi appeared late, everyone immediately forgot about Huo Qinglan and couldn't help but admire that Miss Huo had the same demeanor as Ning Guogong back then, and she had a beautiful heart.

When Princess De'an saw this, she was so angry that she jumped. She originally wanted to embarrass Huo Qi, but she didn't want to be self-defeating. Instead, it became a stepping stone for her and allowed her to get a good result.

But she is not someone who gives up easily, and this plan is not a life-saving plan: "Miss Huo family, today's Qiu Ju Banquet is a happy event, why do you only say sad words? Doesn't this make everyone unhappy? "

When everyone heard it, although they disapproved, no one stood up and spoke for Huo Qi.

After hearing this, Huo Qi looked sad, and bowed to Princess De'an: "Princess atones for her sins. It will be the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ministers and daughters saw that the monarch and ministers were having fun together today, and the whole family was reunited. They remembered that they were still stationed outside the Great Wall. I wrote this poem because of my elder brother. This poem not only expresses the longing of my courtiers and daughters for my brother, but also hopes that the soldiers outside the Great Wall who defend their homes and country will be safe and healthy, and reunite with their relatives as soon as possible."

Huo Qi looked sad on the surface, but he rolled his eyes in his heart.

She made it very clear that this poem was not only written for herself, but also for the soldiers of Northern Saipei, elevating her personal emotions to the level of her family and country.

That's the end of the story, if De'an is still messing around, I can only say that she is stupid.

Hearing Huo Qi's words, De'an curled his lips and didn't speak again, but hated Huo Qi completely in his heart.

This Hu Meizi is really cunning, if she is not relentless, the guests below will probably think that she has a small belly and disrespects the soldiers, what a mouthful she is!

All of a sudden the guest seat was in a state of excitement.

General Taobao Shen Yi clapped his hands, and shouted boldly: "Miss Huo really has extraordinary bearing, and a good poet is even better!" Although he is a rough man, when he heard that he was praying for the soldiers, he praised Huo Qi in his heart two degrees.

Luo Jing, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, also echoed: "Miss Huo's poem is open-minded, full of emotions, and the poem is like a person. Miss Huo must also be an open-minded person!"

The emperor on the dragon chair couldn't help but admire a flash of admiration, and said to Huo Ruhai quite happily: "Aiqing, you have raised a good daughter!"

Huo Ruhai stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty is so complimentary, I am so ashamed that I cannot deserve it."

The emperor smiled slightly and raised his wine glass: "My beloved sirs, without the soldiers beyond the Great Wall, there would be no stability for our country. I invite everyone to raise a glass together and pray for the soldiers beyond the Great Wall, and hope that they will triumph soon!"

All the ministers below were full of pride and ambition. They toasted together and drank a glass of water and wine.

After drinking, the emperor said: "The eldest daughter of the Huo family is talented and a good girl of our Daqi. I will give you ten dendrobiums of night-bright pearls, a pair of Ruyi jade, and dragon incense and ink from all directions as a token of praise."

When it's time for her to be in the limelight, she is generous; when it's not time for her to be in the limelight, she is cautious.Huo Qi was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and responded lightly, and then returned to his seat.

After hearing the emperor's decree, the female concubines below all looked highly at Huo Qi.

"Didn't you just say that the eldest lady of the Huo family has no talent? But I think the literary talent of her poems is no worse than that of the former number one scholar!" a lady said.

"I'm just hearing it, and I haven't seen the real chapter. I think it's true. How can a family like the Ningguo Mansion teach a daughter who can't read big characters? It's also my fault that I listened and believed." The wife who made the arrangement before was quite dissatisfied. Excuse me.

Looking at the men's banquet, many people were sneaking glances at Huo Qi, thinking that they would find a chance to chat after the banquet.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao felt a little jealous in his heart.

He looked at the woman in the hall with fascination, feeling so honored that only a woman like Huo Qi was worthy of him. Only she could stand by his side, share these long years with him, and strive for hegemony.

Although they haven't settled on their marriage, in his heart, he has long regarded her as his future wife, so how can others think about it?

Maybe it was because the man's gaze was too hot. Huo Qi raised his eyes slightly and looked at the man generously.But the disgust on her face was no longer there, instead a smile broke out on her lips.

Huo Qi didn't smile, but when he smiled, it was as fragrant as a magnolia flower that just bloomed, and Yuan Shao was dumbfounded.However, what the smiling woman was thinking in her heart was:

It's time for the show to begin.

　Recently, I have been saving manuscripts offline, so I didn’t upload them in time. I just saw a Baozi gave a recommendation ticket. I don’t know if you can see it, but thank you~
