Chapter 49: Two Choices
"I heard that this draft is full of flowers, and every candidate is talented, so I planned to take a look. You don't need to be restrained, just go on as usual. The emperor began a simple leadership speech as usual, and with a wave of his hand, the draft continued.
With the start of the father-in-law's voice, everything started according to the previous cutscene, of course, it was impossible to go as usual, everyone held their breath, and the waiters who came to the stage performed as best they could, trying to attract the attention of the emperor or the princes.
Li Anyue looked at the constantly changing waiters on the stage, and only then did she know what the eighteen kinds of martial arts were, uh, no, what kind of person is a person who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everything that goes up to perform or something, singing, dancing, writing, painting, embroidery, and all talents that can be hooked with girls are performed, Li Anyue was stunned in front, and felt that there was nothing new in the back, and finally understood why the emperor came so late, and he would be aesthetically tired when he saw the end from the beginning.
"Next, Qin Yiyuan, Luoyan!" After the woman in front finished playing a dull pipa, the father-in-law continued his work on the newspaper.
Li Anyue's eyes lit up when she heard the name, and she was not disappointed, as the so-called person is like his name, the woman on the stage was loosely holding the spirit snake bun, wearing a red bandeau embroidered with golden silk peonies, a long skirt with flowers on the waist, and a plain white gauze coat, and her jade skin was looming. A slap face painted with delicate makeup, a pair of Danfeng eyes flowing, only to see her red lips lightly opened, "Slave and maid Luoyan, for the emperor and the princes and His Royal Highnesses, present a phoenix dance to the sky, may the emperor's longevity be higher than the sky, and may my Tianyang Dynasty foundation last forever!" ”
Luo Yan is back to everyone, facing the Shenyue Court, the corners of her lips are slightly upturned, revealing a touch of evil charm, her eyes turned to the emperor, her right hand was raised softly, she pulled a lotus flower, and the gauze slipped off her left shoulder, revealing her tender white shoulders and arms.
Li Anyue noticed that the emperor's body leaned forward a little, and it could be seen that the emperor was also attracted, she came back to her senses and pulled Ke'er and asked, "Ke'er, who is this woman?" Why don't you seem to have seen it before? ”
"Of course I haven't seen it, she is from the Qin Art Garden, we are from the Scholar Garden, and we haven't been in contact with it in normal times! But Ke'er often hears her name, saying that she is a very beautiful beauty, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful......" Ke'er paused as she spoke, and smiled again, "Of course, it's not as fresh and refined as our young lady!" ”
Li Anyue didn't pay attention to her sycophancy, but looked confused, "Qin Yiyuan? Scholarly Garden? ”
Ke'er looked at Li Anyue and slowly showed a surprised expression, "Miss, don't tell you that you haven't heard of the four gardens of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting!" ”
"Like...... Not...... Yes, right? Li Anyue saw that she was about to swallow herself, and replied uncertainly.
"Miss, tell me, what have you been doing this month?" Ke'er grabbed Li Anyue's hand and roared excitedly.
Li Anyue lowered her head and thought for a while, it is normal to get up every day, eat, train, walk, and have recent troubles. "Ke'er, don't talk nonsense, tell me what's going on."
"Chuxiu Palace is divided into four gardens, namely the Qin Art Garden, the Qiluo Garden, the Scholar Garden, and the Painting Beauty Garden, each of which has two aunts to lead the training, and before that, the training of each garden was separated." Ke'er had no choice but to explain patiently.
Only then did Li Anyue notice that there were 6 people sitting on the judges' bench, in addition to Lian Qianxi and Wan Xiu, she only had a black line, which was the consequence of breaking away from the masses, basically shielding everything around her.
Ke'er held Li Anyue's hand and asked her with a serious face, "Miss, how did you tell Ke'er that you did it?" Stayed in peace for so long! ”
Li Anyue turned his face and stopped paying attention to her, and slowly thought about it before he realized that this was not the way, he entered the palace to obtain useful information, but after he entered the palace, he thought those girls were too gossipy, so he didn't care anymore, thinking of this, Li Anyue knocked on his head.
After the dance, everyone was surprised for two seconds before coming back to their senses under the emperor's applause, "I haven't enjoyed such a beautiful dance for a long time. ”
There was a bewitching smile on the corner of Luo Yan's mouth, "Thank you for your appreciation, it is an honor for the slave to be able to dance to the emperor." ”
Li Anyue looked at the emperor's gaze and always glanced at Luo Yan's chest intentionally or unintentionally, and slandered in his heart that this emperor was really like an ordinary man, his eyes were full of beauty, and he couldn't help but pout his mouth with disdain on his face.
"Li Anyue!"
"Miss, Miss, it's your turn!" Li Anyue was having a headache on the side, but was pushed outside by Ke'er.
Li Anyue reacted that it was her turn to perform on stage, and hurriedly raised her head and chest, trying her best to ignore those not very harmonious sights.
When he stood on the stage, Li Anyue gave a generous salute to the emperor and the princes, and also gave a salute to the aunts on the other side. In fact, before the start of the audition, the repertoire that everyone wants to perform will be reported to the aunts in advance, but because Li Anyue was temporarily ill, these things were not considered, so everyone didn't know what Li Anyue was going to perform. Even Li Anyue didn't think about it, but when he was changing clothes, he suddenly thought that he could perform taekwondo!
Li Anyue didn't know how to make clothes, so she could only make a long skirt into a short skirt, so that it would not affect the kicking, and tied the sleeves of the dress a little tighter, so that she could barely take a moment.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid specially presented the ancestral stunt for the emperor today, but the slave maid has a request." Li Anyue blushed and told a big lie, they couldn't see it anyway.
Shenyue Cangting glanced at her with amusement, and asked slowly, "What request?" ”
"Because the slave maid is from a remote village, the talent brought by the slave will be a little inferior to other girls, can you ask the emperor not to treat the slave if the slave and maid perform badly?" Li Anyue swallowed her saliva and dared to say it, you must know that these people have not seen these things, what if something happens if the aesthetics are different.
"Oh, well, I'd like to see what you can do."
With the golden words of the emperor today, Li Anyue was like taking a reassuring pill, grinning a bright smile, and bowed to everyone.
Li Anyue first made a preparatory posture, and then suddenly came with a left-hand kick, and glanced at the knives of the guards around him to his chest, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly continued to make a right-hand kick seriously. Then it officially began, Li Anyue first reported their names, "Backspin kick!" "Kick both legs!" "Jump Kick!" "Hook Kick!" ……
After doing more than a dozen sets of movements, Li Anyue stopped a little breathlessly, the guards had not put down their knives during the whole process, and their eyes had been staring at Li Anyue. And the aunts and waiters around them also looked at Li Anyue in surprise, and even Ke'er was full of confusion and black lines.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are done!" Li Anyue looked at the people who were almost petrified, pretended to pass Lian Qianxi's gaze, remembered the auspicious words of the wild goose before, paused and said, "The slave wishes the emperor and all the princes good health!" Many happy returns! Banzai! Then he stood with his head bowed in a proper manner.
But what's the deal with this weirdly long silence? Li Anyue looked at the people around him with his spare eyes and found that everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor's side. Li Anyue also followed her gaze, and saw that Shenyue Cangting was staring at her with a stern gaze at this time, and she sighed in her heart, could it be that this emperor is not a word? I knew that I would go up and sing a song or something, but I still have expectations for this kind of feudal society.
"Poof, hahaha......" Shenyue Cangting's face that was still tense one second ago turned into a hearty and powerful laugh in the next second, not only did Li Anyue not react, everyone was stunned.
"Haotian, you are really right, today's draft is indeed very interesting!" It took a while for the Shenyue Cangting to stop and say to the Shenyue Haotian next to him with a smile.
Shenyue Haotian nodded slightly, and his gaze at Li Anyue became a little complicated.
"What did you just perform? Martial arts? Shenyue Cangting asked her.
"Back to the emperor, this name is taekwondo, and it's just a kind of physical exercise."
"It's the first time I've seen such an interesting sport, your name is Li Anyue, right? I seem to have heard of you, but you wrote the book of ten thousand words? ”
A book of 10,000 words? What book of ten thousand words? By the way, it shouldn't be the test paper written yesterday! "Back to the emperor, those are just slaves and maids talking nonsense in combination with the views of some books."
"The tone is not small, if these things you write are casual nonsense, do you treat the scholars of my dynasty as three-year-old children?"
Li Anyue was taken aback by his sudden stern tone, and quickly knelt down, "The emperor forgives the sin, it's the slave who can't speak!" "The phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" is really not a lie, and the emperor's face is also June God!
"Father!" Everyone thought that when the emperor was going to be angry, he was attracted by a childish voice, it turned out to be Shenyue Haozhe, I heard that because the previous princes were less than one year old and died inexplicably, so when he was born, he was very loved by Shenyue Haotian, but Li Anyue was still surprised when he saw him lying on the knee of the current emperor.
"What's the matter with Zhe'er?" Shenyue Haotian changed his previous expression and looked at him gently, as if he was a loving father.
"Father, the son wants her!" Shenyue Haozhe condescendingly pointed to Li Anyue, who was kneeling below.
Li Anyue looked at him in disbelief, even if men marry wives very early in this era, they won't be in such a hurry, no matter how fresh and tender they are, they don't look suitable for a ten-year-old child.
