After the emperor came to the spacious venue prepared by Leng Yu in advance and sat down, everyone also sat down with their families according to their official positions in the court.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan sat with their children on the emperor's right, and Liu Dechang's family sat next to them.
After Leng Xi left for a while, he hurried back. He took Yu Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao to sit on the left side of the emperor. There was a seat next to them reserved for Leng Ming.
The rest of the ministers and their families also found their respective seats. At this time, Leng Yu nodded to Liu Xi, and Liu Xi shouted at the top of his voice:
"Now, please invite the young men and young ladies from Prince Yu and Prince Xi's families to perform the talents they have prepared."
As soon as Liu Xi finished speaking, Luo Lan nodded to Huaiyu. Huaiyu stood up with a serious expression, walked in front of the crowd, bowed, and said seriously:
"I wish Grandpa Huang a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Today I've prepared a poem about the festival called 'Shui Tiao Ge Tou'. My mother said it was written by Su Shi, a famous poet from the Song Dynasty. I hope Grandpa Huang will like it."
The emperor nodded repeatedly with great satisfaction.
In the past, the emperor had never liked Huaiyu because of Leng Yun, but in recent years, under the education of Luo Lan and Leng Yu, he no longer had any of Leng Yun's dandy characteristics, so the emperor liked this grandson a little more.
Huaiyu put one hand behind his back, imitated the teacher, raised his chin slightly, and the poem flowed out of his mouth like flowing water.
"On the Mid-Autumn Festival of Bingchen, I drank till dawn, and was quite drunk. I wrote this poem, and I also miss Ziyou.
When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky.
I don’t know what year it is in the palace in heaven.
I want to ride the wind and go back, but I am afraid that it is too cold up there in the beautiful building.
Dancing with shadows, it feels like being in the human world
..."
Luo Lan felt relieved to see Huaiyu reading poetry seriously. This child was smart and studious, but a little less courageous than Anan and Lele.
"good."
After hearing Huaiyu finish reading the poem, the emperor clapped his hands, nodded happily, and turned to Liu Xi and said:
"Liu Xi, convey my order. Tengda's ability to recite this poem with such eloquence and emotion is truly a classic. I will reward him, and I will also give it to Princess Yu."
Do you have any rewards?
Hearing this, Luo Lan stood up happily, bowed and thanked him:
"Thank you, Father. I am flattered."
The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile:
"This child has been educated so well by you, I should reward you."
Huaiyu hurriedly lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground.
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor, for your gift. Thank you, Dad and Mom, for your teachings. I wish you will be as happy as today every day in the future."
"well……"
The emperor nodded repeatedly in praise, with a slight blush on his face.
Next was An An's dance performance. Two girls carried a zither in front of Luo Lan. Luo Lan gently plucked the strings, and the melodious sound flowed slowly from between her fingers like gurgling water.
As the music started, An An, wearing a water-green long dress, walked on tiptoe, facing the wind, like a fairy descending to the earth. She came in front of the people, gently shook her sleeves, and began to dance.
The water sleeve dance not only made the emperor look at this little girl with admiration, but also amazed everyone present.
While dancing, her eyes seemed to accidentally sweep towards Leng Xi. Her innocent eyes always became extremely sharp when facing Leng Xi, so that Leng Xi would quickly dodge away when he saw it, as if he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Leng Xi always felt that the little girl's eyes seemed to reveal something that he was afraid others would know.
He also discovered that this little girl always looked at him with unusual eyes. Could it be that she really knew something?
He suddenly realized that this little girl might become a stumbling block to his future achievements. It seemed that he had to be cruel and kill her.
An An's dance was also praised by the emperor, who rewarded her.
The last one to appear was Lele. In front of everyone, he wrote a majestic Mid-Autumn Festival poem, Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Thinking of the Distant Home", with his pen fluently flowing. The moment he put pen to paper, he gently blew dry the ink on the paper. Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi came to the front of the group together and picked up the calligraphy.
When the emperor saw this calligraphy, he clapped his hands in praise.
"Le Le is not only good at chess, but also at calligraphy. He is truly exceptional. He will be rewarded handsomely, handsomely."
"Thank you, Grandpa Emperor Miao Zan. Lele will definitely keep up the good work and study hard."
Listening to the emperor praising Leng Yu's three children, Leng Xi clenched his fingers tightly in his palms.
It seems that this time, Xiaobao will be embarrassed in front of others.
Xiaobao had just returned from the Shangshu Mansion. It was only two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival that he learned that his mother had pleaded for him and his father had allowed him to enter the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Therefore, Xiaobao had almost no preparation. Even if he was prepared, he was obviously much inferior to the three children who were praised by the emperor.
At this moment, Liu Xi stepped forward and raised his voice and said:
"Next, please invite the young master of Xiwang Mansion, Leng Tengyue, to perform his talent."
Xiaobao looked up at Yu Qiaoqiao, who nodded to him.
"Xiaobao, mother believes in you. You are the best. Go ahead."
"etc……"
When Xiaobao was about to leave, Leng Xi called him and Yu Qiaoqiao reminded him softly with some concern:
"Don't embarrass the child in front of the emperor. If you have anything to say, go home and talk."
Leng Xi ignored Yu Qiaoqiao and took two steps forward to stand in front of Xiaobao. Xiaobao raised his head and looked at him timidly.
