"Today's gift was just a sudden idea of mine. I just wanted to see what clever ideas these children can come up with." The Queen said with a smile. When her eyes swept across the audience, many people secretly looked away.
She snorted in her heart, but still had a smile on her face: "My favorite is Fourteenth Brother's fox, and the hundred birds presented by Miss Hua."
"Aunt!" Princess Lin'an shook the Queen's hand dissatisfiedly.
"Aunt, these hundreds of birds can offer gifts, but I also have contributed a lot. If you want to reward them according to their merits, don't forget me!" Rong Xiu joked.
The queen smiled fondly and shook her head, jokingly saying, "Are you ashamed to compete with a girl for credit?"
Gu Changsu looked at Rong Xiu who interrupted him, and felt inexplicably unhappy.
Why is he everywhere? That fat pig has become like this, and he is still so infatuated!
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the Queen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after watching this for half a day, I am thirsty."
The emperor laughed and agreed with her in announcing the start of the banquet.
The sound of Buddhist music floated in the air, and women holding lotus flowers with Sanskrit characters printed on them came in one after another, chanting scriptures and singing songs to pray for blessings and ward off disasters.
Seeing this, Hua Yuanshan suddenly had an idea. She gave Haitang some instructions and then quietly left.
After the singing and dancing on the stage, the originally solemn singing suddenly became lively, and a veiled woman swirled into the stage, with bells on her ankles ringing.
Hua Yuanshan danced happily, just like the flying goddess in the mural. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and the golden powder sprinkled in the sunlight made her look even more beautiful.
When the ribbon fell in the direction of Gu Changsu, Hua Yuanshan hooked her wrist and the ribbon almost brushed against Gu Changsu's desk.
Gu Changsu understood, and looked at the dancing woman with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
Amid the applause of the crowd, Hua Yuanzhao silently watched the two people exchanging glances, secretly calculating the time it would take for the poison on Hua Yuanshan's face to take effect.
Gu Changsu tilted his head and raised his eyebrows proudly after noticing Hua Yuanzhao's gaze.
Sure enough, this woman was still coveting him! Otherwise, why would she be staring at him in a trance?
Rong Xiu had been paying attention to this side the whole time. After noticing that Hua Yuanzhao had been staring at Gu Changsu, she thought that she still had evil intentions towards Gu Changsu.
He was so angry that he lost strength in his hands, the teacup shattered in an instant, and the tea spilled all over his hands.
The guard Shi Hu standing behind him was startled and hurriedly lowered his voice to persuade him: "Ancestor! Please hold back!"
When you go crazy, please consider the situation!
Hua Yuanshan danced and bowed respectfully.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and the queen smiled and said, "The blessing dance is difficult to learn, and this flying dance is even more difficult. I thought that no one else could dance it except Miss Hua, and I never thought I would see it again today."
"My dear Lord Hua, you have two wonderful daughters!" the emperor praised.
Prime Minister Hua's face flushed, and he quickly stood up and saluted: "It is their blessing to be able to pray and dance for the Emperor and the Empress. I dare not take credit for it."
Hua Yuanshan looked at Hua Yuanzhao proudly. It was this dance that had won Hua Yuanzhao praise in the beginning, and now all the praise was hers!
She raised her hand to take off her veil and was about to answer, but when she looked up she suddenly heard the queen's shrill scream.
The queen had always been calm and composed, but now she was frightened and lost her composure, pointing at Hua Yuanshan and crowing like a rooster.
When everyone looked at it, they all gasped, and some of the timid women even cried out.
Why does the second young lady of the Hua family have so many rashes on her face?
Hua Yuanshan realized something was wrong belatedly, and rushed to Haitang to ask her for a mirror. Haitang was so scared that she fell to her knees, stammering and unable to say anything.
Hua Yuanshan was so angry that she kicked her over, picked up the teacup on the table and looked inside.
The moment she saw her own face, Hua Yuanshan was so scared that she smashed the cup in her hand.
