Li Sixu waved to the outside of the house, and Liu Yunying, who was guarding the door of the attic, came in and presented the sandalwood box.
She took the sandalwood box and handed it to Xuanzong: "My son thought it was appropriate for my father to reward Gongsun with this ruby head and face."
Xuanzong also cherished Gongsun's talent, who was proficient in sword dancing.
Knowing what his little princess meant, he followed suit and said: "What my brother said is absolutely true. Aunt Gongsun showed me such a heroic sword dance, and she really deserves to be rewarded. I will follow what Xiao Shi said and give me this set of rubies." I will give the honor to Gongsun Auntie."
Eunuch Gao handed the ruby head and face in the sandalwood box to Aunt Gongsun. Aunt Gongsun knelt down to thank her and gave Li Sixu a grateful look when she left.
Seeing that the fat in his mouth was flying away, King Qi could not fight with Xuanzong, so he had to glare at Li Sixu fiercely.
Li Sixu smiled like a spring breeze: "Uncle Wang looks at Sisi like this, does he have an eye disease? Is the abscess on Uncle Wang's body getting better?"
King Qi’s expression froze!
He was covered in abscesses that made life worse than death, but he still couldn't find any fault because of the medicine he was given in the hospital.
The stinky girl asked her if she had an eye disease. She wouldn't let him grow something in his eyes after giving him abscesses all over his body, or make him blind, right?
King Qi immediately stopped glaring at her.
He became amiable and said: "My little niece must have misunderstood. There is nothing wrong with my eyes."
"But Sisi's eyes have always been very good!"
Li Sixu looked serious: "Is there really nothing wrong with Uncle Wang's eyes? Don't you need to go to the Tai Hospital for consultation?"
"No, there's really no need..."
Li Sixu spoke with concern, and King Qi waved his hands repeatedly.
Prince Ning, who accompanied Xuanzong to watch the rituals and music of the church, turned around and glared at Prince Qi: "How come someone who is an uncle of the king always likes to quarrel with his little niece? What kind of decency is that?"
"Your uncle Wang is incompetent, don't pay attention to him."
Prince Ning smiled lovingly at Li Sixu, pointed to the dance music that the dancers were rehearsing, and asked Tai Lecheng Wang Wei: "Is it the Luoshen dance they are preparing?"
"Yes, I think the Luo Shen dance is related to water, and it is very appropriate to perform it in the Longshou Pond during the Dragon Boat Festival."
Wang Wei led them through the verandah, visited various courtyards of the temple, and reported to Xuanzong: "In addition to the Luo Shen dance, I also prepared Qu Yuan's Ode, Golden Lotus Stepping, Dragon Boat Racing, and Mulberry Picking Dance."
Xuanzong nodded frequently and was very satisfied with Wang Wei's arrangement.
At this time, there was a faint sound of drumming from the depths of the inner garden, and Wang Wei explained: "This is used to drum up morale during rehearsals and dragon boat racing at the Dragon Boat Festival."
The dance used to boost morale during dragon boat rowing was originally nothing interesting to watch.
Probably because he watched Aunt Gongsun's sword dance today, Prince Ning's interest was aroused. He said to Wang Wei: "Take me and the emperor to see the encouragement you have prepared..."
When Wang Wei led everyone to see what dances were being prepared for the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Bian, who was following Xuanzong, looked at Yue'er from time to time with half-smiling eyes.
Yue'er, who was completely defeated, felt that she had been provoked again.
She pulled Li Sixu behind the group of people and muttered: "Can't he understand people's words? How could my father really want Yue'er to discuss calligraphy and painting with him? It's obviously a perfunctory statement."
"He actually took it seriously? He also said that he would follow His Majesty's instructions."
Yue'er complained to Li Sixu: "Only monkeys like to climb up the pole. He is a monkey. Give him a pole and he will climb up."
Yue'er deliberately spoke loudly, so Zhang Bian naturally heard this and had to turn around and smile at her.
That smile conveyed the meaning of not caring like a child.
Yue'er was so angry that she raised her fist and waved it in Zhang Bian's direction.
Zhang Bian then smiled even more fondly!
Being too close to Zhang Bian, it was hard to say bad things about people in front of others. Li Sixu didn't know how to talk to him for a while, so she had to be a quiet member of the public.
Yue'er, who was helpless against Zhang Bian, finally found that the best way was to ignore him.
Knowing that she couldn't please him, she simply didn't even bother to look at him. She leaned close to Li Sixu and asked quietly: "Sisi, why did you give the ruby head and face that you gave to General Zuo Yulin's wife to the sword-dancing Gongsun?" aunt?"
Approaching the corridor where the drums were being rehearsed, there was a sound of drums covering them, and Li Sixu and Yue'er were whispering without being noticed.
She whispered in Yue'er's ear: "Uncle Wang Qi has no good intentions towards Aunt Gongsun. He has always been romantic. Instead of letting Uncle Wang succeed, all Sisi will lose is a set of rubies, so he will do a good deed that day."
"Besides, a dance by the world-famous Lady Gongsun is worth more than a set of ruby heads and faces?"
Li Sixu told her: "If the matter is urgent, I will pick another gift to supplement the general's wife later."
"No wonder Yue'er looked at Uncle Wang looking at Aunt Gongsun in the wrong way. Yue'er understood. My father gave Aunt Gongsun a ruby head and face, so Uncle Qi couldn't make a mistake."
After Yue'er gloated over her misfortune, she was a little worried: "That Lady Gongsun is so charming and charming, and she can pretend to be a handsome man. What if my father falls in love with Lady Gongsun?"
In Aunt Gongsun's sword dance, Li Sixu saw that she yearned for the world and would not be willing to detain herself in a high-end mansion or a deep palace in the inner courtyard of the palace.
Li Sixu was about to tell Yue'er this when she noticed that Xuanzong who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and then the drum sound in the inner garden suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, her father's furious voice came: "Tai Lecheng, is this the encouragement you are going to use to boost morale in preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Yue'er was startled and confused!
Li Sixu followed her father's gaze and saw actors rehearsing and encouraging, with drums hanging on their waists and drumsticks in their hands, circling around a lion.
And the color of the lion was exactly the same as the dragon robe his father wore.
The color of the dragon robe represents the ninety-five supreme beings. These actors actually danced with the yellow lion. At a small level, it is disrespectful and disrespectful of the emperor. At a large level, it can also be a treason.
This is a violation of her father's taboo!
Not to mention that everyone who came to appreciate the encouragement was dumbfounded, and Tai Le Cheng Wang Wei was also stunned!
Obviously, he did not expect that the drummer would dance a yellow lion today. Feeling the coercion released by Xuanzong, Wang Wei, who came to his senses, hurriedly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Wang Wei explained: "The lion I asked you to prepare is not of this color. I think there is something wrong. I will ask someone here and I will find out."
What really went wrong?
What a huge mistake!
Regardless of whether this matter was directed by Wang Wei or not, as the official in charge of rituals and music at Taichang Temple, he was entrusted with the rituals and music of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. He cannot absolve himself of the blame for such a big mistake.
"You said you would know after calling someone and asking, then I will do as you wish."
Xuanzong had a fierce aura on his body: "Bring those lion dancers to me."
After receiving the order, Eunuch Gao quickly asked the accompanying guards to tie up the lion dancers.
