Chapter 1516 You May Not Last Long
The more she thought about it, the more sullen her face became. She squeezed the wine glass harder, causing the wine she had just drunk to churn and she almost vomited it out.
Finally, a gong sounded outside.
With a clang, the scene ended.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "This play is quite interesting. Enjoy!"
At a command, Eunuch Yu held up a tray covered in yellow satin and filled with copper coins. He was about to give it out for reward when Xin Ping beside him suddenly said, "I'll do it!"
Zhu Feng turned and looked at her: "Are you going?"
Xinping nodded with a smile: "I will go and reward them."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Okay, go and reward them. It's your blessing to be able to reward others."
So, Eunuch Yu held the tray and slowly walked out with little Xinping.
Everyone looked at her. She was so young, yet she looked so dignified. They all smiled. But when Xinping walked to the door, she was in trouble. The threshold was too high, and Eunuch Yu was holding a tray in his hand, so he couldn't free his hands for a while.
Several young eunuchs outside hurried forward to pick her up.
At this moment, a little girl came out from the seat next to her and whispered, "Your Highness, may I help you?"
"Huh?"
Xinping tilted his head and looked at the girl who suddenly walked out.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay."
Although he said he was supporting her, the little girl was half-supported and half-carried as she walked out the door. Eunuch Yu followed behind her and saw that the little girl moved very quickly and rationally, so he didn't say much. He waited until the little actors knelt on the stage, then Xinping grabbed a handful of money from the tray and threw it on the stage.
Crash——
Unfortunately, he was too young and his grip wasn't strong enough, so all the money fell to the ground.
Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so they had to hold it in.
Zhu Feng was already laughing uncontrollably as he watched this scene. He said, "Look at our daughter. She has a big heart, but unfortunately, she doesn't have much strength."
Nan Yan said angrily, "The Emperor is only busy laughing, and she has lost the dignity of the royal family."
Zhu Feng said, "Kid, what's the point of being respectable or not?"
“…”
"As long as she's happy."
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan had nothing to say and could only shake her head.
However, seeing her daughter's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help but cough lightly, put her hand to cover her mouth, and wiped away the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Just when Xinping was getting anxious, the little girl beside her leaned over and said softly, "Your Highness, how about I help you?"
Xin Ping refused: "No."
The little girl didn't dare to say anything. She could only watch Xinping grab another handful of money and throw it up with force. However, it still didn't land on the stage, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.
This time, Xinping was finally discouraged.
She turned to look at the little girl and said softly, "Little sister, come here."
The little girl immediately smiled and said, "As you command."
After saying this, he helped Xinping grab a handful of money and threw it forcefully onto the stage. Suddenly, a cloud of copper coins gleamed brightly and fell onto the stage like rain. The young actors happily grabbed the money and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Your Highness the Princess."
Xinping felt happy again.
Eunuch Yu stood by, looked at the little girl, and nodded with a smile.
After all the money was given out, the little girl helped the princess back to the warm room. However, before she could return to her seat, Zhu Feng asked, "Who are you?"
Before the little girl could speak, Gu Tingqiu stepped forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this is my daughter Qiqing."
"Qi Qing?"
Zhu Feng said this and looked at Nan Yan again, and Nan Yan also looked at the little girl Gu Qiqing.
Although she and Gu Tingqiu were familiar with each other, they rarely met. Even when they did, they mostly talked about business. She had never asked about Gu Tingqiu's family affairs, so this was also the first time she met his daughter.
This Gu Qiqing was probably just coming of age. She had a petite figure and pretty face. Although she was young, she spoke and acted in a graceful and elegant manner, quite like her father.
Nan Yan smiled and waved to her: "Come here."
Gu Qiqing was also stunned for a moment, not knowing what the imperial concubine wanted him to do. Gu Tingqiu could only whisper, "If the imperial concubine asks you to go over, then go over."
Lian Xinping also said, "Miss, come with me."
As he said that, he went over to her, took her hand, and walked in front of Nan Yan.
Nan Yan looked at her for a while and said with a smile, "She's actually born with a good appearance."
Gu Qiqing lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Look and see."
Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing by, was also stunned for a moment. She stepped forward and whispered, "What does the Queen want to reward Miss Gu with?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Just give her a reward and let her sit under me."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.
You have to know that the seats in this hall are very particular. The emperor and the imperial concubine sit at the top, and ordinary people cannot even take an extra step over. If they want to be so close, they should be family members.
But today, Nan Yan did not get close to anyone from the Si family. Instead, the young lady from the Gu family sat down under her as soon as she arrived.
Nan Yan smiled and looked at Zhu Feng again: "Your Majesty, is this okay?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Today, you can make the decision."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Gu Tingqiu was also startled and stepped forward and said, "The Imperial Concubine has bestowed such a generous gift. I'm afraid her child won't be able to bear it."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Seeing her like this, Gu Tingqiu could only immediately ask the servants to bring another small table and place it next to the imperial concubine's desk.
This is already a great blessing for them.
Gu Qiqing was also a little flattered, but he did not panic. Instead, he thanked the emperor and the imperial concubine gracefully, and then sat down at an angle.
Nan Yan asked someone to give her a bowl of food from her table.
Everyone in the lobby was even more shocked.
Especially Gu Tingqiu.
He felt both happy and worried.
What made him happy was that his daughter could show up in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine like this, which was also a blessing for the Gu family; what worried him was that during this visit, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Nan Yan, and naturally, let her get closer to her family, but he didn't expect Zhu Feng to come along, disrupting his previous plan.
Now that she is so close to her daughter, she wonders if there will be another opportunity like this.
So, he carefully sat back in his seat and watched his daughter's every move.
Although Gu Qi was young, he had seen some of the world with his father, and was very polite in his words and deeds. Seeing them like this made Simulan, who was sitting next to him, even more angry.
She thought to herself: Do you think that everyone has to rely on you to survive? In my opinion, you may not be able to last long, after all -
