020 than Yuqian
June 18, auspicious day, good day.
In the evening, Murong Xueyan was still studying in the back garden. She was called away by her father's maid and told her to dress neatly.
When everything was ready, she shook her head and asked her father, "Dad, what important is going to happen today?"
"Princess Wuyang from South Vietnam sent Princess Wuyang to make peace. The emperor made an exception and ordered all the officials to bring their daughters who had passed the year of the year to the banquet." Murong Rui explained briefly.
"Dad, where is South Vietnam?" Murong Xueyan is full of curiosity about this country she has never heard of.
"The land of barbarians in the far south."
The two words "barbarians" made Murong Xueyan think of the four words "er is a barbarian" on the folding fan of Huo Du in Jin Yong's novel "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
"Xue'er, you can't talk nonsense at the banquet." Murong Rui mentioned a sentence and talked about going to the banquet in detail: where to receive the salute, where to sit in the swallow, where to hold the banquet...
Murong Xueyan walked to the camp with her father and entered the palace for the first time. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and was so nervous that she would faint. All she knew instinctively followed her father through the door of the palace and sat down at the banquet.
After a long time, Murong Xueyan recovered and looked around. The banquet was attended by the daughters of the officials and their respective officials. Perhaps they may have realized that they could see the holy face at the banquet today. All the women were dressed up to attend, decorated in brocade, inlaid with gold and jade, and extremely gorgeous algae. For a moment, the hall was full of flowers and beautiful flowers.
I don't know how the emperor would feel when he saw the beautiful women in this room.
"Princess Wuyang arrived--" The waiter sang in a long voice.
Everyone's eyes swept forward.
Princess Wuyang came in the front and back of a group of maids, as if the stars were holding the moon. Her dress is different from that of a woman in the Central Plains. Her clothes are magnificent. They are mostly decorated with agate and silver rings. The hairpin on her head is covered with a little silverware, and the braids on the top of her head are scattered. A row of crescent-shaped silver jewelry falls down in front of her forehead, just like the bangs often left by Central Plains. With its tall body, bright eyes and bright teeth, its cold and wild beauty, compared with the Central Plains women, it has a unique charm.
"The emperor has arrived, the Empress Dowager has arrived--"
As soon as Princess Wuyang sat down, the chambermaid announced again. Everyone got up and stood down. After a moment, they saw the emperor of the Qi, Beitanghao, walking slowly with the empress dowager, following the two high-ranking concubines in the palace - Yunfei and Lanfei.
Everyone knelt to the ground and waited for Bei Tanghao to say "flat body" and got up at the same time.
Because Murong Xueyan is the daughter of the prime minister, her seat is close to the emperor, so she can't help but take the opportunity to observe the emperor that Duran is thinking about...
The elegant temperament, warm and affectionate eyes, outstanding demeanor, not inferior to the Nanjing Wang Nangongyi, no wonder it will make Du Lan fall in love at first sight.
"Princess Wuyang came from afar. I'll have a drink to the princess first." Beitang Hao spoke loudly with a smile on his face.
"The emperor is so polite, but Wuyang is also disrespectful!" Princess Wuyang smiled cheerfully and didn't twist. She raised the wine bottle in her hand and drank it all!
"Your Majesty, it is said that the emperor has just selected a show girl not long ago. I don't know if the draft girl can come to compete with me?" Princess Wuyang's eyes were smiling.
"This... this year's talent is mediocre..."
"Your Majesty, it's unfair to Lanfei's sister when you say that," Yunfeiman laughs and means something. "Lanfei's sister is Lanxin, she moved the emperor with singing and dancing at the beginning..."
"Why do I have to laugh at this palace? Those tricks of my palace are just Cheng Yaojin's three axes. How can I get to the hall of elegance?" Du Lan Ruo was secretly shocked and had to respond humbly.
Murong Xueyan listened to the three dialogues and made it clear in her heart: this Concubine Yun was taking the opportunity to make trouble, which embarrassed Du Lan. At that time, in the women's election, the songs and dances she performed were specially created for Duran Ruo. Now it is impossible for Duran to perform the same song and dance... If Duran is not good at singing and dancing, what should she do?
"Why should my sister be modest?" Concubine Yun knew the context of the talent show singing and dancing, so she pressed more step by step. "My sister can sing and dance in front of the emperor. Why don't she dare to perform in front of Princess Wuyang? Could it be that my sister disdained to compete with Princess Wuyang?
"It's not..." Duran shook her head helplessly.
"What is that?" Concubine Yun will not let go.
Seeing that the situation was very unfavorable to Du Lan, Murong Xueyan was eager to help her friends, regardless of anything else, and stood up: "Your Majesty, I would like to sing a song to cheer up. I don't know if it is feasible?"
Beitanghao was about to answer, but he heard Yunfei laugh and mocked: "In the capital, everyone knows that the prime minister's daughter was divorced by King Jing on the day of the wedding. How can an abandoned woman compete with the princess?"
At ordinary times, Murong Xueyan had already ridiculed, but in front of the officials and the emperor, she had no choice. This Concubine Yun is probably so aggressive because she once sat in the position of Princess Jing!
"Your Majesty," Princess Wuyang, who had been silent, suddenly said, "In our South Vietnam, people meet each other, regardless of status, regardless of status."
This princess from the "barbarians" has such a vulgar idea. It seems that Du Lanruo will have another strong enemy in the palace.
Murong Xueyan thought, got up and left her seat, bowed Yingying, and said with a generous smile: "In this case, your Majesty, Princess Wuyang, the court ladies are ugly." After that, he improvised and sang and danced:
"Dreams go with the wind
How many times of red dust come and go
People's faces and peach blossoms depend on each other
It's another year of spring and autumn blue
Don't sigh that the moon smiles affectionately
Love has already been remembered
Your eyes are like stars
Looking back, it's the twilight rain
At the end of the world, watch the streamer fly away
No question where is the return date
The love of several generations lives up to lovesickness
Wait for the flowers to bloom all over the sky
I just want to share your whole life and never forget
Don't look back
Laughing at thousands of amorous feelings
......”
The singing voice was clear and the dancing was wonderful. Everyone present was amazing. Even Princess Wuyang couldn't help clapping her hands, and then performed a South Vietnamese dance in front of everyone. She saw her waist swinging gently, as soft as boneless, dancing with her belly under the navel, holding her hands into the shape of a lotus flower, slowly rising from her waist to the top of her head, and then gently rotating around...
The exotic dance that has never been seen before also opened the eyes of the people present.
"Good!" Beitanghao took the lead in cheering, and others also praised it. Princess Wuyang raised her eyebrows and smiled again: "I, a South Vietnamese woman, not only can sing and dance well, but also learn martial arts. I don't lose to men. I don't know what about your country's women in this regard?"
"Your Highness, I am a general and I am willing to compare with the princess. I don't know what the princess wants?" This time, Duran Ruo stood up.
Murong Xueyan handed it to Du Lanruo with approval and got up and returned to her seat.
"Good! I would like to see if the women in the Central Plains are weak and can only work as female needleworkers. Princess Wuyang looked at Du Lanruo and asked, "What kind of weapon does this lady want?"
"Sword." Duran replied with a faint smile.
"Well, I use a whip."
"Fang Youde, go and get it quickly." Beitanghao smiled gently and ordered the general manager Fang Youde to get it.
Without a cup of tea, Fang Youde took the sword and whip, and even brought several bodyguards to protect Beitanghao. Only then did Murong Xueyan understand the reason why Du Lan Ruo told him that he could not dance the sword in front of him... There are indeed many taboos in this palace...
Du Lanruo and Princess Wuyang both took over the test weapon, looked at each other, and the two began to fight.
Everyone only saw the two groups of figures swirling rapidly. Du Ruolan danced the sword. The sword spirit was like a rainbow, sonorous sound, and the posture was graceful. Princess Wuyang made a whip, and the long whip rolled up. It was like a spiritual snake spitting letters. It was extremely flexible. With the silver decoration all over the body, it was jingling. Occasionally, the long whip entangled the sword. If Du Lan had a wonderful move, it was all One by one... Seeing that Princess Wuyang was about to be defeated, Du Lan firmly stopped the sword, took a step back, hugged her fist and smiled, "The princess's whip is excellent, and I am willing to bow down!"
"Good!" There are endless cheers. Beitanghao looked at Du Lanruo with joy. Du Feiqing looked at his daughter with relief. Murong Xueyan couldn't help smiling happily for the success of her good sister...
Only Yunfei, the face under heavy makeup, is obviously unhappy.
"Murong Xueyan, you have made great achievements in this imperial performance. I don't know what reward you want?" Beitang Hao asked loudly.
"When I return to the emperor, I have the honor to make a fool of myself. I dare not ask for credit, and I don't need any reward." Murong Xueyan retreated humbly.
The Empress Dowager, who had been sitting still, suddenly said, "There has always been clear rewards and punishments. Those who have merit must be rewarded. Why don't you reward the position of Princess Jing to Murong Xueyan again? How about the emperor?"
"The mother's idea is good." Beitanghao smiled and looked sideways at Murong Xueyan, "Murong Xueyan, is the Empress Dowager willing to give such a reward?"
"I..." It seems that it was a crime to refuse to reward in ancient times... But she really doesn't want to have anything to do with Nangong Yi anymore. Looking at the viciousness and jealousy in Yunfei's eyes, they are intertwined. If the eyes could kill people, it is estimated that she is a corpse now.
"When you go back to the emperor and the empress dowager, there are no more ministers and daughters, and they are unbearable to match the king of Jing, and the position of the princess is not as good as choosing someone else." After careful consideration, Murong Xueyan bent her knees and replied carefully.
Before the words fell, the words were shocking! No one thought that this 15-year-old girl would dare to resist marriage in public.
"Murong Xueyan, resisting the decree is a death crime. Aren't you afraid?" Beitang Hao's words are majestic, but there is a smile in his eyes.
"The minister knows." Murong Xueyan raised her eyes bravely, "But I'm afraid it's difficult for my daughter Pu Liu to be the princess of Jing."
"Since you don't want to, forget it." The Empress Dowager seemed to have a sense of love as soon as she saw Murong Xueyan, and she unconsciously spoiled her in her tone. "Your Majesty, I heard that Murong Xueyan was stupid in her early years and suffered a lot. This time, I took Murong Xueyan as a righteous daughter and became the princess of Ping'an. You can enter and leave the palace at any time. What do you think?"
"Okay." Bei Tanghao smiled and said, "I'm also very happy to have such a smart sister."
Murong Xueyan was overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you, Empress Dowager!"
