Chapter 20 Longevity 3
Lanxi was agreed and came to Xiao Yuanqi's table again. It can be seen that Xiao Yuanqi also likes Lanxi very much. He smiled at Lanxi. The smile was very clear and not the mask he wore in the past. Lanxi walked between Shen Sirong and Xiao Yuanqi and took Shen Sirong's hand tiredly.
Lanxi is famous for his arrogance in the palace. Except for Xiao Ze and Xiao Yuanqi, there are few people close to him. But I don't know why she liked this royal sister-in-law from the first sight of Shen Sirong.
Shen Sirong does not reject Lanxi's closeness. The frankness of this little girl makes Shen Sirong feel that she still has a true temperament in this deep palace.
"Is it okay for you to teach me embroidery?" Lanxi's cold proposal made Shen Sirong unaware of the reason.
Lanxi's voice is very high, so several tables nearby can be heard clearly. Xiao Yuanqi did not react, but had always been distracted by the Shufei who was here.
"This is really strange. Princess Lanxi, who only likes to dance with knives and guns, actually wants to learn female workers?" Concubine Shu's words were slightly contemptuous. Even if Xiao Ze is spoiled, as a dignified princess, it is not a good word to dance with knives and guns.
Lanxi has no angry reaction. Her eyelashes are floating, and her eyes are shattered and crystal. She pouted and pointed to the painting that had been taken back from the box.
"I just saw that the embroidery on the painting of my sister-in-law can make my father so happy. Lanxi also wants to learn and embroider a savor bag for my father." Lanxi hooked everyone's eyes on Shen Sirong again.
Shen Sirong is a little helpless, but her defense against Lanxi is also deeper. She always easily pushes Shen Sirong into the sight of everyone, which is not a good thing for Shen Sirong.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanqi knew why Shen Sirong said that the painting was not only painted. At the same time, he also found Lanxi's intention and turned around and looked at Shen Sirong with a little concern.
"This..." Shufei, who opened the conversation, was surprised and speechless. His Highness also talked about it one after another. If the painting is only painted, it is not special, but adding a layer of embroidery to the painting is not something that ordinary people can do. It is not about how difficult it is to complete, but that no one has ever thought of this idea so far.
Shen Sirong had no intention of being in the limelight today, but she was forced to the top of the waves step by step. She only imagined that Xiao Yuanqi showed her sincerity and ability, but did not want to spread it to Lanxi.
The face is getting worse and worse. Shufei gritted her teeth and smiled. You can be proud. Soon, I will make you no longer be so proud.
Concubine Shu, who can't stand face, has not forgotten that Shen Sirong is Xiao Yuanfeng's favorite person, but she will not leave any way.
"Sister-in-law is really skillful." The person who relieved Shen Sirong was Xiao Yuanfeng. At the moment when his eyes were intertwined, Shen Sirong was burned by the scorching heat in Xiao Yuanfeng's eyes. With the rise and fall of the words, the heat wave gradually receded, leaving only lingering pain.
There was a burst of sadness in Shen Sirong's heart, which was for Xiao Yuanfeng. His hand fell softly under the table, was held by the people around him, and his palms were held. He felt Xiao Yuanqi's displeasure, and Shen Sirong withdrew his mind.
A awkward atmosphere gradually dispersed after the song and dance, and the power in the hand weakened a lot. Shen Sirong remembered that she had something to ask. She looked at the immature figure of Lanxi opposite.
"Today, you have given me a lot of accidents."
Before she could speak, there was a cold and deep voice around her. Hearing the sound, Xiao Yuanqi was drinking safely. If it hadn't been for his words, Shen Sirong would have thought he was an illusion.
Shen Sirong replied to his words un politely. She picked up the embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped it on her lips. Knowing that Xiao Yuanqi's anger had dissipated, Shen Sirong said his suspicion: "Is Princess Lanxi hostile to me?"
She decided to let Xiao Yuanqi answer what she was not sure about. She believes that the answer Xiao Yuanqi gave her must be true.
"No, on the contrary, Lanxi likes you very much." What Xiao Yuanqi said is also well-founded. He knows a lot about Lanxi, and Lanxi is not a scheming person. If he guessed correctly, Lanxi wanted to help her.
Shen Sirong was silent for a long time, "um."
The dancers waved their sleeves and danced, and Shen Sirong looked at them with interest until Shufei coughed deeply.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared a program for today's Longevity Festival. I don't know if the emperor is giving me this face?" There were a few amorous feelings in Shufei's eyebrows. Xiao Ze couldn't bear to spoil the fun and motioned the waiter to go down and arrange it.
Before long, five dancers in light veils appeared in the hall. The light veil was graceful between hands and feet, and most of the people in the hall were attracted in front of them. Except for Xiao Yuanfeng, who has always been in a low mood, and Xiao Yuanqi, who has a cold face.
After several stretches, the five dancers lined up, and the music stopped. When everyone thought that the performance was over, a flute sounded, melodious and gentle.
The five dancers retreated aside, and a back appeared in the center. The figure was like a shock, and the hazy has shown endless softness.
The bright moonlight turned with her movements. The woman turned around and the veil was brought up by the wind, revealing her flexible face. A pair of water eyes threw at Shen Sirong under the gaze of everyone, and then fixed her eyes. The woman looked at Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi felt the look, but he only took a faint look and did not show a stunning expression.
The woman's feet are **. She starts to jump. As she moves, the bells on her feet ring. When she rotates, her clothes appear in the shape of an arc, revealing her white and slender waist.
In full view of the public, the woman somehow conjured a hibiscus flower. She did not wear it on her head, but held it with bright red lips, and bright white teeth were exposed between her lips.
She walked to the hall step by step with flowers in her and knelt down in front of Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze applauded, which is another** of today's banquet. For everyone, Shen Sirong's painting is just amazing. At this moment, this woman is indeed gorgeous. Compared with this woman's dance, it makes them more heart-wratic.
When Shufei saw Xiao Ze's great joy, she said, "This woman is the niece of the Minister of War, and her name is Ruolan."
"Oh? The dance is good and rewarded. After Xiao Ze gave the reward, the woman did not retreat, but Li Qingyun, the minister of the Ministry of War, came forward.
"I would like to dedicate this woman to His Royal Highness today, taking advantage of the emperor's birthday."
Listening to this, Shen Sirong was suddenly depressed and even had a heavy breath. Subconsciously, she looked at Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi smiled at the corners of her mouth, but still didn't look at the woman.
