At the very least, out of the four princes, he was the one who was the least pleasing to the eye!
However, his popularity was exceptionally good. The officials, officials, and concubines all praised him.
Other than Beitang Mo and the annoying Princess Jinyang who would often wink at him, Bing Ying did not recognize anyone else.
On the other hand, it was the Prime Minister Ling Tian who had an extremely tall and sturdy and domineering appearance. His reserved nature gave people a feeling that he was unfathomably deep!
Furthermore, Bing Ying knew that his martial arts skills were very high!
After all, the palace banquet was not a national banquet, so the atmosphere was relatively relaxed and pleasant.
Nangong Chen had his concubines and princes and princesses speak freely. They enjoyed the delicacies in a cheerful manner and the atmosphere was very lively. On the surface, it looked like a warm family banquet, at least on the surface.
After the meal, it was time for the princesses and concubines to perform.
The first to step up was Noble Ma. Her snake-like body made Bing Ying drool. Before he even finished dancing, Nangong Chen had already started laughing out loud and hurriedly gave his rewards.
The other princesses also performed dance, singing, zither, and other talents. Ice was as novel as watching a live Spring Festival Gala.
Suddenly, a voice dragged her down as well, "Brother Xiu's new wangfei is so beautiful that she's moving. Shouldn't you show your sincerity?"
Troublesome Princess Jin Yang, who was beside him, said.
Bing Ying, who was eating a Dazzling Apple, glared at her. Then she stood up and bowed, smiling as she said to the crowd, "Everyone knows who this Fourth Miss is, so I won't be performing! In case everyone pukes out all the food they just ate! "
Haha!
The entire audience burst into laughter.
When Nangong Chen heard her vulgar words, he could not help but knit his brows.
Wasn't this daughter-in-law too disgraceful?
Bing Ying didn't care at all. She pointed at Beitang Ling who was sitting down and said, "Everyone knows that my Third Sis is a heroine! Her sword-arts were extraordinary! It would be better for her to act on my behalf! I believe everyone knows that she represents the Beitang Clan! "
With that, she completely ignored the gazes of others and sat down to continue eating the apple in her hand.
"Kacha!" "Kacha!".
She made such a scene. Everyone laughed.
"Haha!" "The fourth prince is really unlucky to have married such an idiot wangfei."
"This wangfei sure is good-looking, it's a pity she's a pig's brain."
"This is really embarrassing!" Not only has he lost the face of the royal family, he has also lost the face of the Beitang family! "
Everyone laughed and whispered.
Nangong Chen's expression was unsightly to the extreme. His dragon eyes continued to deeply stare at Nangong Xiu.
Yama Minamiya was sitting upright and upright, looking very much like he was immovable even when Mt. Tai was pressing down on me!
Actually, he was feeling very wronged in his heart and said, "Ah! What do you think this is? Compared to what she did and said before, this was simply a small matter! Now, someone has finally experienced my pain. "
Nangong Xiu was secretly pleased. His idiotic Royal Concubine was no longer torturing him alone. At least he had tormented him a little, so he could empathize with his pain!
As for the angry look in royal father's eyes?
"Humph!" Usually, royal father only sees Big Brother and Second Brother, since when have they looked at me? Now that you're looking at me, I won't care! " Nangong Xiu thought.
Seeing that, Xiao Fei said, "Since that's the case. Then, let the future Crown Princess, the third lady of the Beitang Clan, demonstrate her talents. However, everyone knew that the third miss' swordsmanship was extraordinary, but at this banquet, it was always an indecent scene for a lady to be dancing with her sabre and sword. It was said that the third miss was not only good at swordsmanship, but also excellent at literary talent. Why don't we let the third young miss see it for everyone? Your Majesty, what do you say? "
"Wow!"
Everyone admired Xiao Fei's move!
Poison enough!
Everyone knew that Beitang Ling was a child of the martial arts world. Her swordsmanship was indeed outstanding, but no one had ever told her how good her literary talent was!
But she was the future Crown Prince's consort, the daughter-in-law of Empress Chen. Xiao Fei's own wife had lost face, causing her to lose face for the enemy's daughter-in-law. This move was extremely brilliant!
Empress Chen had fought with her for decades, so she naturally knew of her schemes. She quickly replied, "Your majesty! The Tianyue Empire was founded on martial arts! Adhering to martial skills! The royal family also needed to have extraordinary skills in order to conquer the world! The third lady's swordsmanship was outstanding in the capital, but Chenqie had never had the chance to witness it. Why not take this opportunity to demonstrate it in front of everyone? so that we can broaden our horizons. "
Xiao Fei immediately said sinisterly, "If you want to imitate the world, you can do it not just with a sword dance!"
"A mother to the world?"
This sentence perfectly hit the nail on the head!
This move of Xiao Fei's! It was as if the needle had hit the nail on the head!
Nangong Chen originally favored Empress Chen's opinion, but after hearing what Xiao Fei said, he quickly said, "Xiao Fei is right! Everyone knew that Beitang Ling and Lie'er were very close. Once they got married in the future, it would be the Crown Prince's consort, the future Imperial Mother! It was not enough for a female disciple to have sword arts as a mother to a nation! Besides, the Beitang Clan's Sakura Sword Art was renowned throughout the world. Beitang Ling's swordsmanship was no less than that! Beitang Ling, make a poem on the spot and show off your literary skills. Are you willing? "
Once the emperor opened his mouth, who dared to say anything?
Although the Beitang Bell is difficult, it is still very familiar with the poetry books. Although it is not my forte, I should be able to handle the situation, thus I stood up and respectfully said: "This subject will definitely deal with it with care. "Please give me a question, your majesty."
Nangong Chen was very satisfied with her appearance and manners. He nodded his head and swept his eyes over the crowd, "Next month is my birthday. You should think of a birthday poem."
Birthday poem?
This was an easy question to answer!
Everyone knew that this was the emperor's intention to not make things difficult for Beitang Ling.
After all, she was the future Crown Prince's consort and the most outstanding daughter of the Beitang Clan. If she were to lose face in public, it would be a disgrace to both the Imperial clan and the Beitang Clan!
Nangong Chen looked to the side with a "kacha kacha" sound as he ate the apple. Immediately, his heart was filled with disgust.
He thought disdainfully, "Why are the two of them daughters of the Beitang Clan so different?"
The idiotic Fourth Miss felt like throwing up no matter how much she looked at it.
He really didn't know what kind of medicine Nangong Xiu had taken wrong. He had fallen for such a foolish girl.
Nangong Chen did not understand. Why were there so many girls in the world, and the Beitang family's daughters all being given preferential treatment, with the exception of the Fourth Miss. Why did he choose her?
When Beitang Ling heard the question, she immediately felt relieved.
She seriously thought for a moment and quickly wrote a poem. "Lang Lang's Starry Skies Announcement, beautiful moon and magpie's cry, congratulating you on your longevity and happiness, and on your longevity, longer than Nanshan and Fuqi."
"Good!" "Good poem!"
"Smooth and unconventional!"
"The mood is also very beautiful."
The next moment, exaggerated praises and exclamations were heard.
Nangong Chen nodded his head in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad! It was rather smooth! Someone! Reward! A pair of white jade ruyi from the Beitang Clan! "
The emperor was happy!
The entire audience was filled with joy!
As a result, flattery became even more exciting!
As a result, the entire stadium overflowed with exaggerated flattery similar to "Third Miss has both civil and martial skills, her talent is peerless and so on".
Just then, the proud and cheerful Beitang Ling suddenly spoke out: "Actually! My fourth sister, Bingying, has also studied poetry since she was young! Everyone knows that Bing Ying's physique is cold and not suitable for martial arts, so her literary skills are above mine! Bing Ying, you don't have to be shy.
This was a frame-up!
It was a blatant framing!
After she finished speaking, the people watching the commotion immediately echoed her words.
Everyone knew that this was going to be a good show!
Fourth Miss Beitang was a weak idiot, who in the world didn't know? Letting her recite a poem in front of the emperor's empress, that was basically making her lose face!
Nangong Chen also wanted to test his daughter-in-law's talent, "Bing Ying. Then you can also compose a poem. "
If he didn't know martial arts, then he would be a cripple! But being able to have a bit of literary talent could at least save a bit of face. Even if she really did not have any literary talent, she could still pass the test with just a few words of celebration! How hard can birthday wishes be? A child could even casually say a few words!
This was what they called chasing a duck to its roost!
Bing Ying put down the apple and whispered, "Nangong Xiu, what do we do?"
Nangong Xiu pretended not to hear.
The emperor's face was filled with hidden anger, while Consort Xiao's smile was fake. Empress Chen was obviously watching this as a joke. First Prince, Second Prince, Beitang Ling, Princess Jinyang … Almost everyone had a gloating expression on their faces!
When she looked at Nangong Xiu's calm face, which was filled with indifference to the mocking gazes of others, her heart inexplicably twitched …
Pain!
She suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
This was the first time in her previous life that she had felt heartache! For a man she didn't like! It was unknown when it had started, but she no longer hated Nangong Xiu that much. In fact, she had never hated him herself. It's just that she hates him for the real Fourth Miss.
Why was it that when everyone was clearly laughing at him and looking at him strangely, he was so calm and indifferent?
Or was it him …
Bing Ying thought about how everyone had gathered together to chat, drink, and have fun before the banquet started. When the atmosphere was harmonious, he would hide in the shadows. It was so lonely that it made one's heart ache …
Or had he already … Used to it?
Bing Ying looked at the cold Nangong Xiu. Suddenly, her heart ached. Then, a righteous idea emerged in her mind!
She decided not to play the fool anymore. She decided not to act the foolish and weak Fourth Miss who had humiliated Nangong Xiu!
She wanted to help Nangong Xiu gain back some face! In front of everyone!
A man could be beaten to a pulp by his wife's tears in his room, but he absolutely couldn't lose face outside!
At least not my man!
Bing Ying suddenly felt a sense of righteousness!
She wanted to help Nangong Xiu! To save face!
"Nangong Xiu, although you owe me a beating. But when I get into trouble, you protect me without any hesitation! "
"I, Bing Ying, have always been grateful and avenged myself!"
"Today, I'll help you once and treat it as repaying your favor."
"Nangong Xiu! I want to tell you! I won't make you lose face, I won't let everyone in the world make fun of you! "
Blizzard decided to give up pretending to be the weak and foolish Fourth Miss temporarily …
At this moment!
She wanted to be the concubine of the Emperor of Tianyue Dynasty, the official of the civil and military officials, blooming with dazzling light!
Bing Ying put down the half-eaten apple in her hand and slowly stood up.
The foolish and naive expression on her face suddenly disappeared. She became calm, relaxed, confident, and natural and unrestrained …
Even her eyes had become firm and sharp!
