Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 279 A banquet in the main hall with a song and a dance

"Is the princess asleep?"

Zhao Shun entered Jialan Residence and saw Shen Qinglan lying on the couch, so he asked Fuer next to him.

Fu'er nodded and responded in a low voice: "The princess just fell asleep."

"oh……"

Zhao Shun went out and Murong Bo also came to the door of Jialan Residence.

"My subordinate Murong Bo has met the prince."

"You came just in time. Help me set up a banquet in the main hall of Jialan Residence, and invite the three ladies in the house to come over for dinner."

"yes."

Murong Bo muttered in his heart, what does the prince mean?

When the banquet was almost ready, Shen Qinglan also woke up, and Zhao Shun was reading the new book written by Wang Fuwen next to her.

"Are you awake? I have prepared a banquet in the main hall. Let's go together."

Shen Qinglan shook her head, walked to the dressing table and yawned. Seeing that the princess was awake, Fu'er quickly brought hot water and prepared to wipe her face.

"I know the Queen Mother sent two old ladies and you are upset. It's just a good time to have some fun tonight." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan was confused, "Exciting? Are you planning a little show?"

"Well, that's not true, but I'm ready for today's performance." Zhao Shun said, walked to Shen Qinglan's side, and picked up the gem hairpin on the dressing table.

"My princess is quite generous, she actually gave away such good things." Zhao Shun said again.

"After all, it's the Queen Mother who sent it, so I can't neglect it," Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun put the hairpin into her bun, "These hairpins are a bit old. I will ask the craftsman to give you some better ones someday."

"The hairpins are always easy to get caught in the hair, making it difficult to move, so forget it. Besides, where are these hairpins old?" Shen Qinglan said.

"This hairpin has been worn for a long time, so it is naturally a bit old. I know an old craftsman who makes pearls and jade, and he will make some new hairpins for you later." Zhao Shun said.

-

The banquet was placed in the main hall, and the three ladies also entered the table on time.

Zuo Ying'er's dress is quite simple and elegant, Zhuo Zihong seems to be wearing all the valuable jewelry on her body, and Zhuang Yunqiao is not inferior, with her head covered with pearls and green makeup, and she is wearing heavy makeup.

Zhao Shun and Shen Qinglan were sitting at the main table. Zhuo Zihong stood up first, picked up the wine glass and said, "Today is a good day. I would like to offer you a drink to the prince and a drink to the princess. I wish the prince everything goes well and the princess will stay young forever."

Zhao Shun nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that she was quite sensible, he gave her face and drank a glass of wine.

Shen Qinglan also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. As soon as he put the glass down, Zhao Shun spoke again.

"Since the three ladies were carefully selected by the Queen Mother, they must be talented. I wonder which one of them can dance?" Zhao Shun asked.

Zhuo Zihong just sat down and stood up again, saying: "Reporting to the prince, I have been studying for a while, but I don't know if I can catch the prince's eyes."

"Then let's invite Miss Zhuo to dance a dance. It's just that it's the period of national mourning and there is no music troupe prepared in the palace. Are the other two interested in accompanying Miss Zhuo?" Zhao Shun asked.

"His Majesty, Miss Zuo is good at the piano, why not let her accompany Sister Zhuo." Zhuang Yunqiao.

Zuo Ying'er quickly stood up, thinking that she finally had her own use. She had been practicing piano for many years, and she would definitely be able to amaze everyone with her skills and surpass Zhuo Zihong's limelight.

"If Your Majesty doesn't mind it, then please come and entertain Sister Zihong."

"Okay, then come on. Murong Bo, have someone prepare the piano table and bench, and find another piano." After Zhao Shun said that, he looked at Zhuang Yunqiao, "Miss Zhuang, what about you?"

"My daughter is not good at playing the piano, nor is she good at dancing, but I am good at embroidery. I stayed up late some time ago to sew a sachet for the prince. I hope that the prince will not disapprove of my humble heart."

Zhuang Yunqiao took out the belt, got down from the seat in person, and handed it to Murong Duan.

Murong Duan handed the belt to Zhao Shun again. Zhao Shun glanced at it and nodded, "It's indeed good, Princess, what do you think?"

"Miss Zhuang's embroidery work is one of the best, so she can't be inferior," Shen Qinglan said.

"The princess also likes it, Miss Zhuang, please make another jasmine sachet and present it to the princess." Zhao Shun said and put the sachet on the table.

"Thanks to the princess's respect, I will serve you." Zhuang Yunqiao said.

Zuo Ying'er sat down at the piano table and looked at Zhuo Zihong.

Zhuo Zihong took off the heavy headdress on her head, threw up her long sleeves and danced.

Zhao Shun watched with great interest. He clinked glasses with Shen Qinglan from time to time and asked, "What do you think of Miss Zhuo's dance?"

"The dance is beautiful and the body is slender, very good." Shen Qinglan said.

"Well, since you like it, you don't have to keep them idle. It's not bad to just listen to a song or watch a dance when you are bored." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan chuckled, did he mistake the three ladies sent by the Queen Mother as musical performers?

The late emperor was newly mourned, and Zhao Shun, as the regent, could not afford to have entertainers and dancers in his house, but these three were young ladies from high-ranking families in the court, so naturally they could not be counted.

But that's all he wanted to do. If he wasn't here and the palace still used their dancing and piano skills as an excuse, wouldn't the Queen Mother be blamed if word spread?

After finishing the dance, Zhao Shun clapped his hands and said, "Okay! He is indeed the person chosen by the Queen Mother. He has indeed excellent dancing skills and amazing piano skills."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Zhuo Zihong and Zuo Ying'er returned to their seats and raised their wine glasses again to toast the prince and princess in the main seat.

"The princess looks like a fairy, and she is from the top royal merchant family, so she must know a lot of dance music, right? How about the princess also open our eyes?" Zhuo Zihong asked with a smile.

Zhao Shun's face, which had been clear just now, suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "What kind of status is the princess, how can she do such a pleasing thing? Miss Zhuo, please be careful with your words, even if you are the Queen Mother."

Those who are here are just toys in our palace, don’t drag the princess into it."

Yan'er on the side couldn't help but chuckle. As expected of the prince, these words were so relieving!

"Yes...my daughter made a mistake." Zhuo Zihong lowered his head, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Since you have come to my Linyuan, you must respect the master of my Linyuan and don't cause trouble for no reason. Everyone will look good in front of the Queen Mother. The dance just now was exquisite, and the embroidery on the sachet was also exquisite. Murong Duan, three rewards

Each of the ladies is one hundred taels," Zhao Shun said.

"yes."

Murong Duan clapped his hands, and the three young men came to the hall holding the silver and handed it to the three ladies.

Although the three of them were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it openly. They could only accept the reward and stood up to thank them.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Shen Qinglan looked at Zhao Shun, and Zhao Shun also looked sideways at him.

"Princess, please."

Zhao Shun raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine with Shen Qinglan.
