Chapter 1104 Punishing Nangong Yu (1)
The scenery of the Imperial Garden remains the same. The Linshui Pavilion, Yuhe Bridge, and Caiyue Pavilion, these familiar scenes have not changed at all, but things and people have long since changed.
A few months ago, when Caiwei came here to participate in the Shangsi Festival, she was still a lowly scholar's daughter. Here, she could only kneel and kowtow to others, and the seat she sat in was so far away that she could not see the edge.
In just a few months, she has changed from a humble merchant woman to the most noble woman in the Great Jin Kingdom. Not only can she sit in the center of the Linshui Pavilion, but she can also calmly accept the worship of all the noble women in the Great Jin Kingdom. This huge difference makes her a little difficult to adapt, but she also feels a little complacent.
After sitting down, she found that the order of seats was the same as the last Shangsi Festival. The noble ladies of higher grades were closer to her seat, and vice versa.
Princess Tuotuo and Princess Helanxue were princesses from neighboring countries and were honored guests, so their seats were right next to her queen's throne. In addition to the two of them, there were several princesses and several eldest princesses sitting in the Linshui Pavilion, and then there were several princesses. The only women who were qualified to enter the pavilion to send Caiwei to eat were the wife of Prime Minister Ning, the wife of the general who protected the country, and the old lady of the Duke of Liguo. Even the eldest lady of the Duke of Liguo, Mrs. Wu, was placed outside the pavilion.
It can be seen that the people sitting in this pavilion are all the most noble women in the Great Jin Kingdom!
The banquet was extremely rich, a standard state banquet, and every dish was finely crafted, with good color, fragrance and taste. However, for these noble ladies, no matter what kind of food, it was not enough to attract their interest. At this moment, everyone was watching with interest the temporary stage built on the lakeside pleasure boat, where a lively play was being performed - "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".
"The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" tells the story of a scholar named Wang Qifeng who met a rich girl named Zheng Yuhuang on the way. The two fell in love and decided to spend their lives together...
There were very few entertainment activities in ancient times. This kind of drama was very popular in ancient times. It was an indispensable activity for banquets and weddings and funerals of wealthy families. At this moment, everyone was watching with relish, but Caiwei felt a headache and just hoped that these humming dramas would be finished quickly.
Tuotuo sat on the left side of Caiwei. She couldn't listen to the humming operas. She had been observing Caiwei closely since she sat down. The more she watched, the angrier she felt.
As a woman, how could she be so beautiful? There was no flaw in her from head to toe. She was originally beautiful and confident, which was a complete defeat for her. Nangong Yu was not interested in watching the play. She stared at the stage, seemingly concentrating on watching the play, but if you look closely, you will find that her eyes never moved, because she was always thinking of ways to anger Caiwei.
After singing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", out of courtesy, Caiwei politely asked Tuotuo and Helanxue to choose a play, because they were both princesses from foreign countries, and they should be treated with superior courtesy when they were guests in Dajin.
Helanxue was a low-key person, and she was humble and refused to choose. She also gave the play script to Princess Tuotuo and asked Princess Tuotuo to choose.
Unexpectedly, after Tuotuo got the script, he threw it to the ground arrogantly and sneered: "What's so good about this kind of humming and humming? Is there no entertainment in Dajin that can be shown?"
Tuotuo's behavior can be described as extremely arrogant and unreasonable. When this move came out, all the princesses and concubines were stunned. They looked at Caiwei at the same time, wanting to see how the queen would deal with it.
Caiwei glanced at Tuotuo, without getting angry, and said coldly: "I don't know what kind of performance Princess Tuotuo wants to see, you might as well tell me, I will try my best to meet your requirements." Her tone was cold and polite, but without a trace of warmth. Her clear eyes stared at Princess Tuotuo coldly, without any waves, but as if warning.
