Chapter Twenty-Eight: See Butterfly Clothes Again
After the recitation of the words of the moon sacrifice, it is a series of complicated rituals.
By the time Xu Yichan and Ye Qiange returned to their seats, it was already an hour later.
"Starving!"
Ye Qiange felt that he could eat a whole cow, his eyes were glowing green, if it weren't for hundreds of thousands of people watching, he would have swept the wind and wiped out all the wine and food in front of him.
At this time, there was a sound of drums in the audience, and I saw a group of beautiful women stepping on lotus steps and dancing to the music.
Then, Ye Qiange saw what the perfect combination of martial arts and dance is.
"It's unreasonable, a group of dancing girls can actually go high and high, it's crazy!"
Ye Qiange muttered, swallowed the meat in his mouth fiercely, and then poured another sip of wine to calm down the resentment in his heart.
Since it is moon viewing, there are not too many rules.
The courtiers in the audience, holding wine glasses, you come and go to persuade each other to drink, and those who are elegant will take turns to chant a few words of persuasion, and those who are simple and rude will shout at one person and one bowl for five and six.
Ye Qiange was dumbfounded, this is still a minister of the imperial court, and they are all drunkards.
Xu Yichan watched quietly, not surprised, she opened her small mouth, ate some fruits and drank some wine from time to time, but after only a few sips, she stopped and didn't eat anything again.
After the dancing queen retreated, a shadow slowly moved in.
"Look, it's Dieyi!"
"Doesn't the girl in the butterfly never participate in such banquets?"
"Miss Dieyi is so beautiful, just in terms of appearance, I'm afraid it will be as good as Your Majesty!"
The crowd had already exploded, and there were constant exclamations and cheers.
Ye Qiange looked at it and couldn't help but be stunned.
The one who came was Butterfly Clothes!
"Little girl Dieyi has seen Your Majesty, the prince, and the ministers!" Dieyi bows down, moves elegantly, and has a pleasant and crisp voice.
Xu Yichan was stunned for a moment, feeling that the name was a little familiar, thinking slightly, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Ye Qiange on the side.
As far as she knew, Ye Qiange won Dieyi and would become Dieyi's guest of honor, but Ye Qiange refused.
"It's a pity to be such a fairy-like woman." Xu Yichan said softly.
Ye Qiange almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, obviously hearing the ridicule in Xu Yichan's words.
He decided to pretend that he hadn't heard, and still buried his head in the bitterness.
"I heard that "Mountains and Flowing Water" was made because of her?" Xu Yichan was full of smiles, and there seemed to be a cold glow flying out of her eyes.
"Ahemβ"
Ye Qiange almost choked to death, frightened by this sudden sentence.
"Your Majesty said that it was funny, "Alpine Flowing Water" takes the meaning of majestic mountains, and the sound of flowing water, how can it be made because of a woman?"
Xu Yichan nodded lightly and set her eyes on Dieyi.
At this time, the guqin had been set up, and before the sound of the piano started, Dieyi said: "On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the little woman played a song "The Moon is Full in the West Building". β
With that, a piano sound sounded slowly.
Ye Qiange's expression moved slightly, he hadn't seen her for a few days, and Dieyi's piano skills had improved.
Then, his expression froze.
I'll go, that little demon girl, actually flirt with me.
Ye Qiange sweated profusely, Dieyi was too bold, if this was seen by the empress, wouldn't she send me to see God in minutes.
Then, he heard a cold and cold word coming from him.
"I also heard that you are the guest of this woman."
Ye Qiange was about to cry.
If you are afraid, you will come.
His body trembled suddenly, his face turned pale, and his whole person was not good.
"Your Majesty, where did you hear that?"
"Hmph, less nonsense." Xu Yichan's beautiful eyes were horizontal, and her face was cold, "You just need to answer yes or no?" β
Ye Qiange was a little dumbfounded, and swallowed a handful of tears silently in her heart, such a strong lady, this king felt unbearable.
"It's... It's not..."Ye Qiange was intermittent, and after a while, he hurriedly laughed. "Besides, does Your Majesty have any other hearsay?"
Xu Yichan glanced at Ye Qiange and spit out two words, "It's gone." β
Ye Qiange's smile immediately cooled, "Why don't Your Majesty think about it again?" β
Xu Yichan glared at Ye Qiange, and then glanced at Dieyi, "I also heard that this woman announced that she wanted you to go to the appointment." β
What about the middle section?
This king is clean and self-conscious, not confused by beauty, and sternly refuses the request of the guest who enters the curtain in Dieyi. This paragraph is so important, haven't you heard of it?
Ye Qiange felt that the Empress was definitely intentional.
"This king has always been clean, never romantic, and will not ruin the happiness of a woman's life because of a game, and I am not single now, so naturally I will not mess around."
Xu Yichan was slightly surprised, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a slight arc, "She also said, don't you marry in this life?" β
"Really?"
Anyway, being told by a beauty who is at least ninety points old that he will not marry, Ye Qiange's eyes lit up, and he was extremely surprised.
Then in the next second, he saw a pair of sharp eyes.
Back then, when Ye Tianyong hung him up and smoked him, he had such a look.
Ye Qiange regretted that his intestines were blue, and he was taken to the ditch again.
He was sweating, why did he let down his guard just now?
"Dogs can't change... A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! Xu Yichan gritted her teeth and said with a calm face.
Ye Qiange made a bitter face, silently picked up a chicken leg and took a hard bite.
Let this king be a beautiful man quietly, and no one will disturb me.
"You say, is I more beautiful, or is she more beautiful?" After a long time, Xu Yichan's voice floated over again.
The question is simple.
Ye Qiange hurriedly put down the chicken legs, "Naturally, it's Your Majesty." β
"I don't even think about it, are you perfunctory?" Xu Yichan's gaze turned cold again.
"Then why don't you ask again?" Ye Qiange asked cautiously.
"Is I more beautiful, or is she more beautiful?"
Ye Qiange looked at Xu Yichan, then at Dieyi, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty is more beautiful." β
"After looking at her for so long, does it take me so long to compare my appearance with her?" Xu Yichan's beautiful eyes were cold.
Ye Qiange vomited blood and died.
He almost fell off his seat, the routine is so slippery, are you sure you are a native, you will not be a fellow countryman with this king!
Xu Yichan raised her chin slightly, quite proud, and her cold pretty face was like spring snow melting, and a soft smile appeared.
At the end of the song, Dieyi was about to get up, and saw a young man walking out slowly.
"Your Majesty, not long after my brother came to Chang'an, I heard that the prince's piano skills are unparalleled in the world, and he has created four peerless sounds one after another, and is known as a little music saint." The young man smiled slightly, and continued: "This Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you let the prince play a song, and let me wait to listen to this wonderful song, how fortunate!" What do you think? β
There was a moment of silence on the field, and for a while, no one responded.
