All stood up, and King Chung announced the completion of the ceremony. The coming-of-age ceremony was successfully concluded.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone returned, and the birthday party officially began. After a while, Princess Xiangxiang came in with King Chung and his wife and his younger brother Li Lin. Everyone hurriedly got up. King Zhong smiled with a smile on his face, and pressed down with his hands: "I'm very glad that everyone can come to the little girl's birthday party, please take a seat." ”

Lord Qiqi ran over and sat at the same table with Shen Tianye. Because he leaned into Shen Tianye's ear, he advised: "After the music starts for a while, you will immediately go over and invite my cousin to dance the first dance, do you know?" ”

Shen Tianye said with a bitter face: "But I don't know yet!" ”

Lord Qiqi gritted his teeth and said, "No, it doesn't matter, as long as you go up and invite your cousin to jump." ”

Shen Tianye said with some reluctance: "Why do you have to ask my cousin to dance if I can't dance?" Isn't it okay for others? ”

"No! Why are you so verbose? If you are told to go, you will go! The lord of Qiqi said, afraid that Shen Tianye would still refuse, and threatened: "If you don't go, I will tell my father that you took advantage of me before and called me my father, no, my grandfather castrated you." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Shen Tianye's eyes suddenly widened and said, "When did I take advantage of you?" ”

Lord Qiqi pinched his waist hard, and said with some shame: "Why not?" If you dare not go, I will tell my grandfather that you have insulted me. ”

Who is your grandfather! Threaten me with him, am I really a bully? Shen Tianye said in his heart. I immediately remembered that the grandfather of the county lord of Qiqi was not the King Yong I saw in Qi Mingyuan's mansion before? That guy seems to be the younger brother of Emperor Li Wufeng, looking at his posture in the Qi Mansion at the beginning, I am afraid that he is also a master at the level of the Dacheng stage, and he can't afford to provoke him!

Shen Tianye suddenly wilted, and said depressedly: "I don't take you to be so wronged." ”

At this moment, King Chung said a few words, and then officially announced the beginning of the banquet. The music on both sides sounded immediately, and before Shen Tianye could react, Huo Yunting, Murong Kucheng, and the Buddha Prince and more than a dozen people had already stood up and slowly surrounded Princess Xiangxiang who was standing beside King Zhong and his wife. Lord Qiqi pushed Shen Tianye behind his back and said, "It's now, go quickly!" ”

Shen Tianye flew out like an arrow off the string, and then rushed in front of Princess Xiangxiang. And Murong Kucheng and the others have been walking without hurry because of their demeanor, but they have fallen behind him. The crowd was amazed, angry, and despised...... For a while, countless eyes were all focused on Shen Tianye, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet was suffocated.

Shen Tianye smiled awkwardly, but when he turned around, he found the vicious eyes of the county lord Qiqi. Damn, it's amazing to have a great grandfather! Shen Tianye scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to really disobey, so he had no choice but to lean forward slightly, and stretched out his right hand to Princess Xiangxiang in front of him gentlemanly and invited: "Beautiful princess, can you enjoy your face and dance?" ”

King Zhong, Li Taizhen, Li Jianfeng, Huo Yunting, Li Yishan, Murong Kucheng, and the prince of Buddhism...... For a while, almost everyone looked at Shen Tianye and Princess Xiangxiang. How can you be so shameless? Everyone is an aristocratic young man with status and culture, how can he be so graceless? Sure enough, it was a barbarian boy from a remote prefecture and county, who had no knowledge, no knowledge, and no etiquette. Everyone showed disdain, and even King Chung and his wife secretly frowned.

It's just that, to everyone's surprise, Princess Xiangxiang didn't show disdain like them, but was only slightly stunned, and then stretched out her jade hand with a slightly red face and gently put it on Shen Tianye's outstretched right hand - she actually agreed to Shen Tianye's invitation!

How can it be? Almost all of them had their eyes wide open, and their faces showed incredulity. As the pride of the empire, Princess Xiangxiang, who combines beauty and wisdom, is almost the embodiment of perfection. How could such a royal lady of noble birth, extraordinary temperament, and extraordinary talent accept the invitation of a shameless person with a low status, vulgar and savage, and who knows no etiquette?

Among them, only the county lord of Kiki is happy. Because the scene in front of her was precisely what she created.

Shen Tianye pulled Princess Xiangxiang into the middle of the arena and began to dance clumsily, along with the soothing music. The prince of the Buddha, Murong Kucheng and others were furious in their hearts, and they were crazy with jealousy, but they were helpless. No matter how ridiculous and shameful Shen Tianye's behavior was just now, he successfully held Princess Xiangxiang's hand. Some people can't help but regret it. Knowing this, they didn't pay attention to any manners and etiquette, and slowly walked over reservedly, and finally cheapened Shen Tianye in vain.

Shen Tianye gently put his hand on Princess Xiangxiang's waist. Looking at Princess Xiangxiang up close, Shen Tianye had a further understanding of her beauty. Princess Xiangxiang is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman at today's banquet, and there is no one. Among the women Shen Tianye knew, only senior sisters Wen Qing and Su Xichen could be compared. Of course, the witch statue doesn't count, it's not a level; The little witch and the uncle Su Yurou are not counted, they are not a type and age group.

Seeing Shen Tianye looking at him with burning eyes, Princess Xiangxiang's jade face was slightly red, her eyes lowered her head slightly, and she said with a slight annoyance: "Don't look at me all the time, concentrate on dancing." In just a dozen steps, he had stepped on her twice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't actually know how to dance yet." Shen Tianye blushed rarely, and apologized with some shame.

Princess Xiangxiang opened her mouth in astonishment and looked at him with wide eyes, her look of surprise was really a beautiful mess.

Shen Tianye was stunned, and immediately stepped on someone else. Shen Tianye hurriedly apologized again and said, "I'm sorry." Unlike the casual dancing with Lord Kiki before, he undoubtedly has a lot of respect for Princess Xiangxiang. stepped on someone three times in a row, he also felt embarrassed, nervous, couldn't help but tense his whole body, and simply looked down at his feet, for fear that he would accidentally step on the other party again. It's just that in this way, he only cares about the bottom and can't care about the top, and as a result, his chin knocked on Princess Xiangxiang's nose again.

Well, Shen Tianye really doesn't know what to say now. Saying sorry again is undoubtedly a nonsense. Luckily, it's just her nose, not her beautiful red lips. Otherwise......

Princess Xiangxiang was also a little embarrassed, but when she saw Shen Tianye sweating profusely, she looked ashamed and helpless like a child who had done something wrong, and she smiled again: "Don't be nervous, relax." Let's jump slower and don't keep staring at the ground and looking at me...... Just look ahead of me. ”

Shen Tianye smiled, hurriedly raised his head, slowed down his pace, and at the same time silently remembered the dance steps that Lord Qiqi had taught him before.

"Why don't you know how to dance...... Still want to invite me to jump? Princess Xiangxiang was embarrassed by his staring, and slightly shifted her gaze, and asked at the same time, to relieve the embarrassing and slightly charming atmosphere just now.

"Uh, it's an accident, well, an accident." Shen Tianye said. He can't say that I was pushed out by your cousin.

Princess Xiangxiang smiled: "Kiki asked you to do this, right?" ”

Shen Tianye hurriedly said: "No, this is my own meaning." ”

Princess Xiangxiang looked at him and suddenly smiled, "Thank you." ”
