Chapter 278: Dedication
Qin Shu had not expected that the emperor would let Xiao Xixi pass. She immediately wanted to take Xixi away from the little grandson's arms.
The little grandson also heard the emperor's words.
It is certainly possible to give Xixi to the emperor, but the situation tonight is special. If he is not by her side to suppress her, I am afraid that some special circumstances will occur, which will not only hurt other people in the palace, but also Xixi herself will be injured.
Therefore, the little grandson still took the initiative to ask for mercy.
"Why not let my grandson hold Xiao Xixi and sit next to the emperor."
The emperor thought that the little grandson was reluctant to let Xiao Xixi go, and he snorted immediately, but he still agreed to his request.
So, the little grandson held Xiao Xixi and sat next to the emperor again.
The palace banquet continued. But the mood of some people sitting in the audience was not as calm as before.
The emperor sitting on the main throne didn't care about the undercurrents of the people below. He just teased Xiao Xixi from time to time.
If it were normal, Xiao Xixi would just play with the emperor.
But today, for some reason, Xiao Xixi felt very tired and didn't want to work. She just wanted to sleep.
[Oh, Xixi is really sleepy. When will the palace banquet end? Xixi wants to sleep already! ]
Xiao Xixi's sleepiness was the kind that she couldn't resist.
She wanted to control it, but she couldn't fall asleep at this time. She could only answer the emperor's questions in a daze.
Speaking of which, the emperor also liked Xiao Xixi very much, otherwise he wouldn't talk to Xiao Xixi all the time. After he ordered the palace banquet to start, he watched the palace banquet while talking to Xiao Xixi distractedly.
The emperor himself was also very surprised.
Logically, he is a little jealous of the Qin family now, and he shouldn't be so close to the Qin family.
But he really likes Xiao Xixi, so much so that even though he knows that Xixi is a member of the Qin family, he still wants to hug her and play with her. Maybe this is a natural fate.
When the emperor was teasing Xiao Xixi and having a lot of fun, the dance music in front of him just ended.
It should have been played to the next song, but Concubine An took the initiative to stop the music.
Concubine An has been very favored recently, and the emperor naturally would not blame her for such a small matter.
Seeing this, he just asked with some confusion.
"What does Concubine An mean?"
It can't be that Concubine An wants to present a dance music.
The emperor frowned secretly. The emperor knew that Concubine An had this talent, but now it was a palace banquet, and it was inappropriate for a concubine to dance in front of so many ministers.
However, Concubine An did not want to perform herself, but mentioned her sister.
"Your Majesty, I heard that today is a palace banquet. My sister specially prepared a song for the emperor, and wanted to wish the emperor and everyone a happy new year."
"Oh?"
The emperor was interested.
It might be inappropriate for Concubine An to perform here, but if it was Anyueya...
but a child, not only would it not be out of place, but it would make the palace banquet more lively.
The emperor immediately became interested.
"Then let her come up and perform!"
Anyueya heard the words and immediately trotted up.
Some ministers in the court had heard of Concubine An's sister from the border, but most of them had never seen her.
"I didn't expect that Concubine An's sister is so young."
"She is young, but she is very courageous. I wish my daughter could be so generous."
"Concubine An's family is a military family. It turns out that the children raised by military generals will not be nameless!"
An Yueya listened to the faint praise from the audience and couldn't help feeling proud in her heart.
She came forward generously, saluted the emperor, and wished the emperor a happy new year in a clear and clear voice, which made the emperor very happy.
"The An family is quite interesting and speaks fluently. What talent are you going to perform?"
An Yueya pointed to the guqin next to her with confidence.
"Your Majesty, I want to play music!"
The emperor was a little surprised.
"You are amazing. You can play music at such a young age."
An Yueya couldn't wait to show her skills, so she sat down in front of the zither.
She began to perform, and the ministers in the audience watched An Yueya playing with interest.
"At such a young age, she has such good zither skills. She will definitely become a great master in the future!"
"This little girl is too amazing. I can only play like this at my age!"
"And this song has a novel melody. I am proficient in music, but I can't tell which one it is?"
An Yueya felt proud.
Thanks to her being forced to learn guqin in modern times, otherwise she wouldn't be so popular now.
As for this song... of course they haven't heard it. This is a classic written by a person from another time and space, and it has been passed down for thousands of years and is still immortal.
After the song was finished, the emperor was very satisfied and praised it three times in a row.
"It's really good. A little person can actually play a song. This song is just right for the New Year. It is lively and festive without losing elegance. It's wonderful. But why haven't I heard it before? May I ask what song it is?"
The emperor's admiration was beyond words. Anyueya was very happy and said complacently.
"In fact, this song was written by me. This is also the first time I have written a song. I have to ask the adults to revise it!"
The emperor and the ministers in the audience were a little shocked, and the emperor sighed.
"I didn't expect that Concubine An's sister is so smart. She is really a daughter of a general!"
Anyueya couldn't help laughing, and congratulated the emperor again in a childish voice. Happy New Year.
She was small and had a childish voice, but the emperor found her movements very cute.
"An Yueya has made great contributions to music, reward her!"
Then the emperor asked An Yueya to sit next to him.
For the An family, this is simply a great honor.
Concubine An was also very excited. She thought to herself that it was the right thing to believe in these two siblings and cooperate with them. Her father would definitely understand her!
And Anyueya proudly sat next to the emperor. She wanted to show off to Qin Xixi, but Qin Xixi ignored her.
In fact, Qin Xixi didn't know what had just happened.
She was in a very bad condition now, her head was dizzy and heavy, as if something couldn't be suppressed.
So she just wanted to sleep now, and she didn't even want to pay attention to the emperor's teasing, let alone Anyueya.
But this behavior made Anyueya think that Qin Xixi was deliberately giving her a cold shoulder. Anyueya's face suddenly darkened and she glared at Qin Xixi.
Who is Qin Xixi? How dare he treat her like this!
Qin Xixi didn't care at all, because she didn't feel anything.
However, this doesn't mean that others won't care about An Yueya's hostility towards Xiao Xixi.
