Chapter 73 The only thing I can do is make paper figures

Xi Tianyun only felt a slight chill in her eyes, but it made her feel very comfortable.

When he opened his eyes again, he could no longer see the souls wandering around the palace.

Su Nuobai watched these souls that couldn't scare Xi Tianyun walk away one by one with great boredom.

Logically speaking, the palace is filled with the energy of a real dragon, so there shouldn't be any souls there. It's only because this person's position is not stable that these souls have room to stay.

"Prince, Prince, where are you?" Several palace servants were anxiously looking for him everywhere.

Xi Tianyun heard the voice and turned to look at Su Nuobai: "Sister, what's your name? How can I find you?"

"My name is Su Nuobai. You don't have to look for me. I will find you." After she said that, she stood up and left.

Xi Tianyun stood up and looked at Su Nuobai's back, noticing the jasmine flowers blooming in her hair: "So the scent on my sister is jasmine."

"Ancestor, why are you here? The palace banquet is about to begin." A young eunuch ran over immediately when he saw him.

Xi Tianyun straightened her skirt and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

Su Nuobai returned to the banquet venue and found Cai and sat down next to her.

Now that Su Deyi's official position has been demoted, his family's seats are no longer in the front, but in the back.

The newly appointed Minister of Revenue has replaced him and sat next to Lu Heyu.

While Lu Heyu was talking to him, he would look at where Su Nuobai was sitting from time to time.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor is here!" the young eunuch shouted loudly.

The originally noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone stood up and looked at the two people approaching.

Su Nuobai was stunned for a moment when he looked at Xi Jinyou. This person seemed familiar. Where had he seen him before?

The Queen Mother smiled and sat down next to the dragon throne.

Xi Jinyou sat on the dragon throne and casually glanced at the ministers and their families below.

But when he saw Su Nuobai, his gaze paused for a moment.

"Today is a palace banquet, everyone please be casual, this is not the court."

"Thank you, Lord!"

The Queen Mother looked at everyone present with a benevolent expression: "This is the first palace banquet held since the new emperor ascended the throne. Everyone, have fun and don't be restrained."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Su Nuobai raised his head and casually glanced at the empress dowager's appearance. Behind this kind-looking face was a person with blood on his hands, otherwise how could things have come to this day.

No one in this palace has clean hands.

She lowered her head and drank the tea on the table silently. This party had nothing to do with her. She was just there for the formality.

The music has started playing and the dancers have begun their performance.

The Queen Mother looked at the position of the female relatives with a smile, and whispered something to Xi Jinyou from time to time.

Xi Jinyou's expression didn't change at all the time. He just listened attentively and agreed with a few words from time to time.

The banquet was halfway through and Su Nuobai was feeling a little sleepy. She didn't know when it would end.

The Queen Mother suddenly spoke up, "Today, all the young men and young ladies who have come here are from various families. I'm sure they must have outstanding talents. Why not have a competition?"

After she finished speaking, she took a hairpin from her hair, and then took a folding fan from Xi Jinyou's hand and placed it on the tray.

"This hairpin and folding fan will serve as the prize for this competition. What do you think?"

"I respectfully obey the Empress Dowager's order!"

Su Nuobai took a casual look and saw that many men and women were eager to try.

When Xi Jinyou appeared, the daughters of the ministers would look at him from time to time.

The shyness in her eyes can't deceive others.

Seeing that everyone was very enthusiastic, the Queen Mother didn't waste any words: "Who goes first?"

The eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo stood up and bowed, "I will present my humble service first."

Su Nuobai took a look and then looked away. This girl was the empress dowager's niece, so naturally she hoped that she could live in the harem.

Cai looked depressed, but in her heart she was thinking that it would be great if her daughters were here, so how could they steal the limelight?

Su Nuobai was not very interested and had already started to doze off with his chin supported by his hand.

When Lu Heyu turned his head to look at her, he found that she had fallen asleep, her head nodding.

Xi Jinyou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, glanced over inadvertently and saw her like this. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.

The girl who was performing a talent show below saw this and thought that Xi Jinyou liked her, so she performed even harder.

When Xi Tianyun saw that she fell asleep, she couldn't help laughing. After checking that the empress dowager and her brother were not paying attention, she took the peanuts on the table and hit her on the head.

Su Nuobai shuddered and stood up reflexively.

At this time, the person on the stage had just finished her talent show, and everyone looked at her curiously.

Su Nuobai only felt her scalp tingling. It was really stressful to be stared at by so many people.

Cai's face turned extremely pale. Su Nuobai was just a wild girl who couldn't even read a single word. How could she have any talent?

When she returned to the Su family, she didn't even think about hiring a teacher to teach her. She just wanted to find an opportunity to marry her off.

Now she suddenly stood up, which was like putting her on the fire.

The Queen Mother didn't know about the Su family's affairs, but she knew that this was the illegitimate daughter, Miss Seven, whom Doctor Su had just brought home. "What is Miss Seven going to perform for us?"

Su Nuobai looked at Xi Tianyun who was covering her mouth and laughing, and knew that it must be this little brat who had just lost her.

Lu Heyu took a sip of the teacup, with a smile in his eyes.

Xi Jinyou was a pure accident. He knew where Su Nuobai grew up, but let alone any talent, he might not even know big characters.

He had to think of a way to help her get through it later.

Su Deyi's fingers holding the wine glass turned white: Cai is becoming more and more useless. She can't even take care of a dead girl.

Su Nuobai walked to the front with confidence and bowed to the two people above her. "I don't have any talent, I can't even read a single word. After I got home, my parents didn't find a teacher to teach me."

"The only thing I know how to do is make paper figurines, but today's occasion isn't suitable. How about I make two lanterns for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?"

The ministers below were in an uproar, and their eyes looked at Su Deyi and Cai with ambiguous meanings.

Many ministers' families had sneering expressions on their faces. How could they bring such a daughter to the palace banquet without fear of being laughed at?

The Queen Mother was slightly startled, and looked at Su Deyi and Cai, but she did not blame Su Nuobai's idea: "But the palace has not prepared any materials for making lanterns today."

"How about Miss Su bring it over next time after it's done?"

Su Nuobai smiled sweetly: "Empress Dowager, you are such a good person."

The Queen Mother was praised as a good person, and she smiled so hard that the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed.

Xi Jinyou looked at Su Deyi and Cai: "Master Su, since you have brought Miss Su Qi back home, you should teach her well. If you don't teach her well, it's the father's fault."

Su Deyi and Cai quickly stood up and knelt on the ground: "It is my negligence. I will definitely teach you personally in the future."
