Chapter 366: Sword Dance
When the Qiwang Mansion was first built, certain occasions were considered, and one of the courtyards was built especially large, and it was difficult to use it all year round on weekdays.
The last time I used it was Xia Hanqiu's twentieth birthday.
There are a lot of people coming today, but it is more than enough to accommodate them, and the empty space in the middle is enough for Romanyu to come to the sword dance.
Roman Jade is simply dressed in a single white dress, and there is no extra jewelry on her body, but it makes her look beautiful and clean, Xia Hanqiu has to praise it when she looks at it, "Speaking of appearance alone, Roman Jade is worthy of the four words of beauty, but unfortunately the Luo family does not teach daughters." β
"The Zhang family is no better than the Luo family, but you are better than anyone else, this is not the reason." Seeing that his son was staring at the pastry in front of him but didn't say yes, Duan Ziyi couldn't help but smile and pushed the pastry in front of him.
I raised my head early and my eyes lit up, "Daddy, can I eat it early?" β
"Half."
"Yes." Answered loudly, used a spoon to compare back and forth in the middle early, and then divided the pastry in two not so evenly, and looked sadly at the opposite side was bigger, but ate the piece in front of him very regularly, and people couldn't help but laugh.
Duan Baiyu didn't even look at the dazzling woman in the field, and raised the chopsticks to redraw a small piece of the extra half of the other half to his cousin, "This is only half." β
I laughed so early that my eyes were about to disappear, "Thank you, brother." β
Duan Baiyu's heart softened with laughter, brought the pastries to the table where he was sitting alone, and beckoned his cousin to sit beside him.
Seeing her mother nodding early, she happily changed her position.
The sound of silk and bamboo started, and the first thing that caught my ears was the sound of drums.
Then there was the fierce music like the golden iron horse. The Roman Jade in the field danced with a long sword in her hand, if the previous Roman Jade was just good-looking, everyone would have to admit that she was quite immersed in dance.
A woman who was powerless actually danced her sword with a murderous aura, and her awe-inspiring and inviolable bearing tightly grasped people's eyes and couldn't take their eyes off.
Yu Ziruo couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw the princess and His Royal Highness staring at the people in the field like everyone else, but when she saw that the princess was so relaxed that she couldn't see all this at all, her heart relaxed, if she had to guard against all beautiful and outstanding women, it would not be enough for her to bother with this thing in this life. That's too bitter. Why should she have trouble with herself.
The sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and after the dance, Roman Jade was drenched in sweat, and her fifteen-year-old young face was not embarrassed when it was stained with sweat. It's a little more youthful than when she's usually holding it.
Xia Hanqiu sighed. Although she is only a few years older than Roman Yukong now. But he has always been calm, and compared with her, he has lost a lot of color.
If you really have to care. First of all, she can't tolerate such a talented and beautiful woman who may not have no thoughts about changing her, but ah...... A man's heart will not change because you care, if you really have you in your heart, you will not empathize with each other because you are not as good as the other party, although she is helpless, she can see it.
No one can live forever with the same appearance, she believes that it is not the short-sighted person, if one day she is old and has an external heart, she will not complain, nor will she do that superfluous thing, just live her own life, in addition to love, there are too many things to worry about.
I think that if there was such a time, her silence could also be exchanged for some freedom.
There was a sudden warm temperature on the hand, a dry and thick palm, a hand that had been held for several years, and I didn't need to look at it to know that it was replaced.
"What are you thinking?" Duan Ziyi suppressed the horror in his heart and tried his best to pretend to ask as if nothing happened.
Xia Hanqiu looked at him, his eyes blinked, with some innocent meaning, "I was probably thinking about what I was like when I was fifteen years old, thinking about it, I feel that I am not as good as Miss Luo, I don't know how good she should be when I am my age." β
"The skin will be old, the best is the past few years, when she reaches the age of twenty-two, ten of her will not add up to your elixir and twelve, don't underestimate yourself, even if you put aside the extra things such as identity, you will not be inferior to her by half a point, it will only make her weaker."
Does this mean that she is overwhelming? She also has the spirit of Wang Ba, Xia Hanqiu smiled, "Don't coax me, will I be naΓ―ve enough to compare with a little girl?" I just feel something, no matter what the Luo family's family style is, I really put a lot of thought into this daughter, Bai Yu, what do you think? β
Yu Ziruo didn't look at His Highness's expression, she didn't think that His Highness could have such a determination as the prince, even if it was normal to look at Roman Jade differently, a woman like Roman Jade was born to be the enemy of all women in the world......
"The first time I saw a woman dancing a sword, it was better than those dances in the palace, but unfortunately it was still too soft, if a few maids around you danced this sword, it would definitely look better."
"Don't think I'll let them learn to jump for you, get used to you." Xia Hanqiu smiled, glanced at Yu Ziruo, saw that she was calm as usual, and didn't have any gaffes and couldn't help nodding secretly, it's good to be able to see and figure it out, if she can't figure it out in her position, she will only walk into a dead end and force herself to death.
"Auntie is not used to me, who is used to me, but several of them are auntie's right-hand men, and I really don't dare to call them." Duan Baiyu also smiled heartily, although he was watching Roman Jade dance before, his eyes were left on Ziruo, and he saw all her struggles in his eyes, the struggle represented that he cared, he was happy, but he didn't want to face a woman who needed him to coax him all day long, fortunately, she was really taught well by her aunt and soon calmed down.
It's not easy to do that.
"Ziruo's handsome is very beautiful, and she has practiced for many years."
Yu Ziruo didn't expect His Royal Highness to suddenly ask her this, so she replied after a half-beat: "The women of the Yu family all started to learn characters at the age of six, and Ziruo learned it earlier, and she started writing at the age of four. β
"Ziruo's handwriting is really good, and there are few men who can do it." Xia Hanqiu immediately understood what Bai Yu meant, glanced at him meaningfully, and took over the topic, "After more than ten years of hard training, I can make some achievements in anything." β
Yu Ziruo is a smart girl in Bingxue, how can she not understand that His Royal Highness is turning a corner to calm her heart, the smile is revealed from her heart, and it is extremely beautiful.
"Ziruo didn't dare to give up on herself, when she didn't follow her mother's side, she would practice calligraphy for two hours a day, even if she was busy now, she would take out an hour to practice calligraphy, and her grandfather would check it."
"Good habits." Duan Baiyu's eyes fell on the pair of whirlpools on her face that were revealed because of her sincere smile, and she felt that this pair of whirlpools alone could throw that romantite out of a few streets.
Over there, Roman Jade walked over, sweating untied, as if she was deliberately untidy, she still soaked the hair on her forehead like that, and Ying Ying bent her knees, "Niangniang thinks Manyu's dance is okay?" β
When he spoke, there was still some gasping in his voice, this gasp was really a bit of a doorway, Xia Hanqiu looked at the few sons and brothers who were close to him, and his eyes fell straight on Luo Yu, that kind of obsession, I'm afraid that this Luo Manyu wants to see it in Bai Yu, or is it her goal instead?
Such a woman and man love it very much, women really don't like it, she is instinctively a little disgusted, but she can't do anything to bully people with her identity, she nodded lightly and said: "Yes, Miss Luo has not practiced dancing in vain for many years, but I don't understand this way, I don't see much, and I can't say one, two, three, Wang, Bai Yu, you are well-informed, what do you think?" β
All of Duan Ziyi's attention fell on Qiu'er, although her trace of boredom was well hidden, where could she hide it from him, and when she asked herself, she said, "It's far from the dancing girl." β
Roman Jade was so shocked that she suddenly raised her head, how could the prince compare her with the dancing girl!
Duan Baiyu's eyes fell on Zaozao, seeing that he was obviously greedy, but he still put down the small spoon after eating the half of the pastry, and his eyes couldn't help but smile, his younger brother was indeed taught very well.
Picked up the plate containing the remaining half of the pastry and handed it to the left-hand side, "This mouth is very smart early, the taste of his eyes is not bad, this half of purple if you eat it." β
Yu Ziruo was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted and took it with both hands, "Thank you, Your Highness." β
Roman Jade was a little unable to stand, she didn't know if His Royal Highness had the intention to hang her, and instead of answering the call to evaluate her dance, she talked to Yu Ziruo first, and looked like she was coaxing her with a pastry......
No, she must have thought about it, how could His Highness coax people, if you want to say that the prince coaxes the princess, she will still believe it, Your Highness is absolutely impossible!
Duan Baiyu didn't overdo it, he naturally looked up at her, his eyes were not shocked, he saw too many such women when he was a child, there were more beautiful than her, more good at dancing, better at calculating, and better at winning people's hearts...... But when I peeled off the outer layer of skin, my heart and liver were all black.
They want you not just because of who you are, but because of everything you represent, and if you sit in this position, they can pounce on him like a moth to a flame.
"It doesn't matter if Miss Luo's dance is good or not, it doesn't matter if the palace says it, it's better for everyone to evaluate it."
The juniors who can be brought to such occasions naturally have some ability, and the elders in the family are also looking forward to them being able to talk to His Highness, not to mention that they should be reused like Zhang Jiabao and a few others, and it would be good if they could be remembered by His Highness.
None of the people present were blind, and they could all understand why the daughter of the Luo family was in the limelight on such an occasion, but they couldn't tell if His Royal Highness was eating this set for a while, after all, this Miss Luo family was really beautiful, even if they couldn't take their eyes off it.
Hearing His Royal Highness's question, after a moment of silence, someone said: "Miss Luo's dancing is naturally excellent, and it is the first time I have seen a woman dance with a sword so beautiful." β
"I also think Miss Luo's dance is very good."
"Yes, yes, this is a beautiful stage."
"......" someone started the initiative, and there were more people seconding it.
The praised Roman Jade should be happy, but she felt uneasy in her heart, why...... She has the feeling that the girl in the building dances to please a group of sons and then is sought after? (To be continued......)
PS: It's been a bit miserable these days, but it's better today, rest and rest, and resume the double shift tomorrow.
