Cheng Yue and Wan Ze are not ordinary people. What's more, who doesn't want to follow along to the flower world of the Southern Song Dynasty to open their eyes and enjoy Qingfu? Who wouldn't want to see what the buildings, villas, pianos, and so on are depicted in the newspapers? It's a shame to give up this kind of opportunity to a nurse or something.

So, Babahan proposed to Kublai Khan that he wanted to accompany Wan Ze. Babahan was the imperial concubine, and Kublai Khan was unwilling to agree. But Babahan knew in her heart that she only had such a chance once in her life, and it was not without precedent before, so she repeatedly begged Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan was helpless and reluctantly agreed to follow her over to enjoy a few days of happiness. Since everything has passed, she is simply generous, and allows her to wait for Cheng Yue to return to Dadu to prepare for the Eastern Expedition.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation in the harem, and Babahan was envied by all the concubines in the palace, especially Sabu and Nuhan.

Cheng Yue still had to go to the court normally in the past few days, and he sent another letter asking Kublai Khan to send Guo Shoujing, a squire of the Ministry of Works, to the Ilkhanate with his fleet to help Abha and Arukhun build canals.

Kublai Khan did not hesitate and immediately agreed. The Western Expedition is a major event, and of course Guo Shoujing should go.

Wan Ze was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep. She found the Han palace maids in the palace one by one according to the list, and examined the character, appearance, and family background of each of them one by one. Soon, there were Han palace maids who were not on the list and secretly found an opportunity to come to Wan Ze's princess mansion and kowtow to Wan Ze and begg, hoping to have a chance to be taken away.

Wan Ze did not refuse, as long as he met the standards, he could go with her. As soon as this example was opened, there was a lot of people in front of the princess's mansion, and a large number of palace maids were like interviews in later generations. Waiting in line at the door. Do your best to show yourself to be obedient and capable. And loyal to the princess, I just want to be able to enter the list of princesses Wanze's dowry.

There are more than 3,000 Han palace maids in the Yuan Palace, and Cheng Yue requires that they must be literate and literate, and this alone will eliminate a large number of palace maids, plus some other conditions, and only nearly 500 people will finally be approved by Wan Ze.

The day Wanze announced the list was the seventh day of the second month, which was like releasing the emperor's list. Wan Ze ordered someone to meticulously write the list drawn up overnight on red paper. Early in the morning, several palace maids posted the list on the outer wall of the princess's mansion.

A large number of palace maids flocked from all over the palace, crowds vying for the list. When they saw the name, some people cheered, some cried with joy, and some people were so excited that they knelt in front of the princess's mansion and kowtowed in thanks.

Those who don't have a name either leave silently, or break down and cry, or kneel in front of the door and kowtow desperately, begging Wanze to give him another chance. Somewhat clever. also ran to the palace of the Imperial Concubine of Babahan to kneel and beg. For a whole day, a living tragicomedy was staged in front of the princess's mansion. It also allowed Mongolians who had not experienced the imperial examination to see in advance what would happen in the world when the imperial examination was released.

On the same day, Chai Chun personally came to the door to send Cheng Yue the clothes and various accessories to wear when he came to welcome his relatives, and took away the list of best men provided by Cheng Yue and the plans for each army to participate in the wedding.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, the gate of the Zhennan Wangfu was opened, and the guards and palace guards were lined up neatly along the way, sending Cheng Yue into the palace to welcome his relatives.

Cheng Yue wore a Mongolian robe, a ribbon around his waist, a bowled red tasseled hat, high leather boots, a bow and arrows, and Shi Song as his best man, carrying floats and various gifts to the palace.

On both sides of the road were black crowds, and many people were excitedly shouting: "God-sent horses!" Congratulations! "There are various languages, and there is a sense of intimacy that is unique to most people.

Inside and outside the palace, the lanterns are colorful, the palace door is wide open, and a huge yurt is specially set up in the Yanchun Pavilion for welcoming relatives.

Cheng Yue and Shi Song entered the palace and were taken to the yurt by Kublai Khan's tenth prince, Kudu Timur, and circled the yurt to pay respect.

Zhenjin waited at the door, and Cheng Yue presented him with a "door-touching sheep" and various gifts, a total of nine kinds. The real gold gift is grateful, and Cheng Yue is invited to enter the account.

Cheng Yue entered the tent and saw that the tent was extremely luxuriously decorated, and the ground was covered with a thick Persian carpet. Kublai Khan and the elders of the family were all seated, and only Chabi and Babahan could sit in the first row, and the others, including Nanbi, could only watch in the back row, and there were hundreds of people.

Wan Ze was dressed in Mongolian costume, dressed as extraordinarily delicate and charming, sitting shyly and restlessly on the right side of Kublai Khan, and when he saw Cheng Yue coming in, his face was as red as a blooming flower.

As a bridesmaid, Nang Ka Zhen sat next to Wan Ze. She was also dressed in a costume, even no less than Wan Ze, and she looked like two people were married together, and her face was red all the time.

Cheng Yue winked at them and smiled, and the two princesses were so shy that they lowered their heads, which was very funny. Shi Song stood next to Cheng Yue with a large stack of Hada in his hand, and Cheng Yue offered Hada to the elders in the tent one by one.

Kublai Khan specially instructed that the wine given to Cheng Yue should be lighter, for fear that he would not be able to drink enough and would not be able to complete the greeting ceremony.

There are a large number of people in the Golden Family, and everyone wants to pour Cheng Yue a few more sips of wine, but when they finally finish walking in a circle, Cheng Yue's head is dizzy. Seeing this, Zhenjin hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cheng Yue to the groom's position with Shi Song.

Kublai Khan smiled and said: "Cheng Yue, you look very good in our Mongolian clothes, and you will wear more in the future." ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "Yes, the minister will wear it when he has the opportunity." ”

The crowd laughed, and Kublai Khan ordered a feast.

Mongolian marriage customs are simpler than those of the Han people, such as welcoming relatives today, Cheng Yue has nothing to do, just accept the hospitality of Kublai Khan's family.

The banquet began at noon and continued into the evening, and in the evening there was another five-pronged feast of sheep. During the feast, singing and laughing, singers and dancers shuttled back and forth, and all kinds of juggling artists also did their best, taking advantage of this good opportunity to ask for rewards.

Kublai Khan watched it with relish, rewarded from time to time, and the nobles also rewarded continuously, and the applause in the tent came and went, and he was happy.

Cheng Yue's eyes kept wandering over Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became. Wan Ze and Nang Ka Zhen also flirted with him and were very happy.

Zhenjin smiled: "Cheng Yue, you will be the groom tomorrow, according to the rules of our Mongolians, either singing or dancing, which one do you choose?" ”

As soon as Zhenjin said this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Cheng Yue excitedly. Today is Cheng Yue's day of great joy, what classics will he sing?

Kublai Khan also put down the mare's milk wine in his hand, and smiled at Chabi and Babahan: "I have been waiting for a long time to see what kind of surprise Cheng Yue can give me." ”

Cheng Yue didn't shirk, got up and said with a smile: "Okay, I've sung a lot of songs, I'll change the taste for everyone today, I'll dance." ”

The full account was pleasantly surprised! Can Cheng Yue dance? Why haven't you heard of it!

Kublai Khan said curiously: "Cheng Yue, when will you dance?" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "Great Khan, I have never danced in front of others before, just for today." Today is a day of great joy, everyone is my family, I will dance for everyone, the Great Khan will definitely like it. ”

Kublai Khan laughed and said, "With just your words, I am already very happy, so are you dancing the dance of the Han people or the dance of the Mongols?" ”

Cheng Yue looked around the whole tent, pointed to his nose and smiled: "I dance the dance I invented myself, and I am the only one in the world who can dance." ”

"Oh?" The Mongolian nobles were so interested that they all leaned forward, put down the wine and meat in their hands, and prepared to watch Cheng Yue's dance.

Cheng Yue walked up to a musician who was beating the drum, took the drumstick from his hand, and said to him: "I'm going to beat you a rhythm now, you can learn it hard, just follow my beating." ”

The musician nodded his head busily, and his heart blossomed. The drumming method taught by King Zhennan himself, is this considered a personal disciple of King Zhennan?

Cheng Yue raised the drumstick with both hands, silently recited the rhythm of a hip-hop dance music in his heart, and knocked it out casually.

As soon as Cheng Yue's drum sounded, everyone's eyes immediately widened, and their blood boiled at the beat of his drum!

The rhythm of hip-hop music is knocked out and is completely different from the music of both Han and Mongolian, the rhythm is so strong and wild that people can't sit in their seats at all!

The musician's mouth was wide open, and his face was incredulous. He has been beating the drum for half his life, and his technique can be called the first in the Yuan Dynasty, but he never thought that the drum could be beaten like this! What a rhythm this is!

The Mongol nobles could no longer sit still, and all men and women stood up and danced to the beat of Cheng Yue's drums, even Kublai Khan and Chabi.

The younger ones are even more crazy, Cheng Yue's drum beat is like beating on their hearts, they only feel that there is no way to vent the strength of their bodies, although the Mongolian dance is wild and heroic, but it can't keep up with such a bright rhythm.

Cheng Yue played for a while and said to the musician: "Just this rhythm, do you remember it?" ”

The musician swallowed his saliva and said, "Remember the little one, it must be knocked out at all." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and handed the drumstick back to him, patted his arm, threw off his robe, and returned to the field.

The musician lifted his spirit, recalled the rhythm just now, knocked it in his mind a few times, and felt that it was no problem, so he took a deep breath and raised his hands to knock it down.

The rhythm just now sounded again, and everyone in the audience was staring at Cheng Yue. I saw Cheng Yue's body move suddenly, it looked like the movements were very weird, but they were strong and powerful, and they were very beautiful, which caused an exclamation.

The rhythm of hip-hop dance is extremely fast, the movements are faster, all the joints of Cheng Yue are writhing in a way that everyone present has never seen, all the movements are completely different from the dance at that time, but they are so chic, so unexpected, so exciting!

Cheng Yue's dance easily ignited the enthusiasm of the Mongols, and this kind of free-spirited dance was a bit strange, but it was just right for the Mongols. They wanted to follow along, but they couldn't learn it, so they had to applaud desperately next to them, and then clap their hands to the rhythm to cheer up.

Wanzawa and Nangkajin's eyes are shining, and they can't stop smiling, and their faces are full of pride, this is their man! Cheng Yue can dance such a beautiful dance, but he has never let them know! No, they must learn! (To be continued......)
