Chapter 336 Scolding in public

The old emperor smiled helplessly. For his daughter's birthday gift, not to mention the ministers, even he, the father of the emperor, was also troubled.

The old emperor sat in the top position, and the seventh princess, who was today's protagonist and the birthday girl, naturally sat next to him. This scene made several princes and princesses feel a little disgusted.

The old emperor and the seventh princess sat down, and the ministers and nobles present knelt down and saluted.

The old emperor looked at everyone present and said loudly: "Let's begin."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch next to him responded. Then, a pair of dancers walked to the center of the hall and began to dance. The sound of cheerful music also sounded in the hall at the right time.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little cheerful, and a rare smile appeared on the old emperor's face. The ministers who saw this scene also felt relaxed and happily chatted with those around them.

"It's this kind of dance again. It looks boring and boring." Everyone watched the dance with interest and chatted. However, the seventh princess looked like she lacked interest. Regarding the graceful dancing girls in the center of the hall, Not the slightest bit interested.

She had watched similar dances like this countless times since she was a child, and she had long since become tired of them.

"This is the new dance that someone from the Jiaofang Division spent many days refining for your birthday. Compared with the past, it is still somewhat new. Are you dissatisfied?" the old emperor looked at the seventh princess and said.

"It changes over and over again, but it still tastes the same, not much has changed." The seventh princess curled her lips and said.

The old emperor smiled bitterly and said: "I will teach those people in Jiaofangsi a lesson for being so careless about my precious daughter's birthday dance. You should let them choreograph a dance that satisfies you."

"Forget it." The seventh princess waved her hands and said, "Father, you are making things difficult for them. With their ability, they can only make up such a dance. It is useless to reprimand them."

The old emperor smiled and said: "Okay, whatever you say will be whatever it is."

At this time, the fifth princess couldn't help but said: "Since the seventh sister is so knowledgeable about dance, why not go up and dance one, and let us open our eyes and see what a non-boring dance looks like, how about it?"

"Bastard!" Before the seventh princess could speak, the old emperor had already reprimanded him: "Your seventh sister is a princess, how can she be like a dancer, dancing in front of others? You can't say that. "Exit, do you still have some royal dignity in your heart? Is this what your husband's family taught you?"

Although the ministers and nobles in the main hall seemed to be chatting, in fact, they had been paying attention to the old emperor from the corner of their eyes. After all, with His Majesty the Emperor present, they could not really have no scruples. , open to play.

Therefore, the old emperor's anger towards the fifth princess was immediately noticed by others. Immediately, the chatter of everyone became quieter, and the laughter disappeared directly. The posture of sitting casually just now, now Shi Ye turned into sitting upright with a serious face.

The fifth princess did not expect that her casual words would make her father so angry. You must know that at this time, all the civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, and noble children were present in the main hall. However, she Her father still scolded her mercilessly, which made the fifth princess feel resentful and frightened.

The fifth princess quickly left the table with a look of fear and knelt on the ground. She kowtowed to the old emperor and apologized: "Father, my daughter has no ill intentions. She just wants to see the seventh sister dance. She does not regard her as a dancer." generally."

The man sitting next to the fifth princess also quickly knelt down and said to the old emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty."

This man is the consort of the fifth princess. As the princess's husband, he usually does not have a high status. When facing the fifth princess, he does not dare to discipline him like an ordinary woman. What's more, the fifth princess is relatively strong. This When the prince-in-law usually faced the fifth princess, he always obeyed his advice, but how could he have the courage to take care of her?

However, no matter whether he usually cares about it or not, he is the husband-in-law of the fifth princess after all. Now that the old emperor is reprimanding the fifth princess, he must also apologize together.

"As a child of the Tian family, you must pay attention to the occasion and your identity when speaking." The old emperor said with anger.

The fifth princess and her husband did not dare to defend themselves and lowered their heads.

"Father, don't be angry." At this time, the seventh princess said: "Fifth sister doesn't mean any harm. Besides, I already like dancing. Fifth sister's suggestion is exactly what I want. I've been bored recently, so I really figured it out." When a new dance comes, I will dance it for my father."

As the seventh princess was about to walk up to the center of the hall, the old emperor quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't be ridiculous. You are the birthday girl today. How can you go up and dance? If you want to dance, you can dance alone for your father later." How about it?"

"Okay then." The seventh princess thought for a while and realized that the clothes she was wearing today were indeed not suitable for dancing, so she still agreed with her father's opinion, but she still had some unwillingness on her face.

When the old emperor saw that the seventh princess had given up the idea of ​​dancing in public, he was secretly relieved. He was really afraid that the seventh princess would insist on dancing. In that case, he might not be able to stop her.

"You two get up." The old emperor looked at the fifth princess and her husband and said, but the old emperor's face was not as good as when facing the seventh princess. In fact, in the old emperor's heart, he felt that it was because of the fifth princess' words that the seventh princess wanted to go forward to dance, so he was still a little dissatisfied with the fifth princess.

However, today is the seventh princess's birthday after all, and he can't let the fifth princess and her husband kneel all the time, which will affect the progress of the banquet.

"Thank you, father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The fifth princess and her husband thanked her, but the fifth princess was even more unhappy. The old emperor had completely different attitudes in front of her and the seventh princess. She was scolded in public just by saying that the seventh princess should go to dance, and the seventh princess asked to go forward to dance, but the old emperor just persuaded her earnestly without any blame.

This difference in treatment was too obvious, and the fifth princess was naturally unhappy.

However, no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to show it. She didn't want to be scolded in public again.

Seeing the Fifth Princess and her husband return to their seats, everyone in the hall seemed to have received an order. Almost at the same time, they returned to their previous state and chatted and laughed with the people around them, as if nothing had happened just now.
