Chapter 992: Desire to Rise and Suppress First
In the brisk rhythm of the Western Regions dance music, those Western Regions dancers on the scene danced barefoot and twisted their soft waists like water snakes.
If the dance music of the Ming Dynasty is soft and subtle, then the dance of the Western Regions is enthusiastic and unrestrained, which is completely different from the softness of the dance music of the Ming Dynasty, giving people a refreshing enjoyment.
It is precisely because of this that Narsa, who has a strong Western style, is very popular in the capital, and her arrival makes the people in the capital surprised to know that the original belly dance can still dance so charmingly, which is obviously several grades higher than the previous belly dancers of the Sifang Guild.
"Lord Wang, this is Narsa."
When Narsha, who was wearing a thin veil, slowly walked into the arena in cool clothes, Lu Youyu said to Li Yuntian with a smile, "The gambling house in the capital has opened a gambling plate, bet on who can remove Narsha's veil, and the prince is also on the list, but the odds are very high, it seems that the gambling house is not optimistic that the prince can kiss Fangze!" ”
"There are many beautiful wives and concubines around this king, and he has long lost the mind of chasing flowers and moons." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, waved his hand to Lu Youyu and said.
With Li Yuntian's current identity and status, I don't know how many women are glaring at him, but he has always been clean and self-conscious, and he has never been obsessed with women, and the wives he has married are like flowers and jade, so the temptation of women is not lethal at all for people of his level.
It is precisely because of this that the gambling house gave Li Yuntian a high odds, and he was not optimistic that he could take off Narsa's veil, and the reason why Li Yuntian was on the list was because he was a celebrity in the capital and could attract the interest of gamblers.
Lu Youyu and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Li Yuntian was right, although Li Yuntian's age was the youngest among the fellow scholars, but he had the most wives and concubines, and although Li Yuntian's wives and concubines were from complicated backgrounds, they received the royal grace to become the court's wife, which was really rare.
Generally speaking, only the wife of the court official can become the wife of the same rank as her husband, Li Yuntian's concubine because of the grace of Emperor Yongle, Emperor Xuande and the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, so they can "enjoy the glory of the main room", and now it can be said to be the first of the women of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, in addition to the royal family, the highest title of the Ming Dynasty is the king, and Li Yuntian is the only one who can be crowned king when he is alive, and his concubines with the name of a wife have become side concubines and concubines.
I'm afraid that Emperor Yongle, who took the lead in sending a decree to Li Yuntian's concubine, would never have imagined that because of his grace, Lu Cao, who was born as a personal maid, could become the concubine of the Zhongwu Palace, which can be regarded as a precedent for the Ming Dynasty.
Narsha saw Li Yuntian for the first time, and when she noticed that it was an elegant young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old who was surrounded by Lu Youyu and others, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Although Narsa also heard that Li Yuntian was born in the Ming Dynasty's two lists of Jinshi, and could be said to be the most learned group of people in the Ming Dynasty, she was disdainful of this, thinking that it was Daming's praise of Li Yuntian and wanting to highlight Li Yuntian's heroic image: How could a military general who fought so well be a literati?
If it weren't for seeing Lu Youyu and the others being respectful to Li Yuntian, Narsa would never have thought that this elegant and handsome young man in front of him would be the King of Zhongwu of the Ming Dynasty who had beaten the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and fled to Mobei in a hurry, and still did not dare to go south.
Although she was shocked in her heart, Narsa quickly adjusted her mentality and danced the Western Regions Dance in the best condition.
Li Yuntian enjoyed Narsa's brisk dancing while drinking, and compared with the dances of the Ming Dynasty, the Joseon Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom, the rhythm of the Western Regions Dance was faster and the tune was more enthusiastic.
Although Narsa concealed it well, Li Yuntian still keenly noticed the stunned look in her eyes when she saw her, maybe she was a different person in her mind.
The light dance music of the Western Regions soon pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a hot spot, and many people clapped their hands to the rhythm of the tune, cheering for Narsa and other Western Regions dancers.
After witnessing Narsa's exquisite dancing, Li Yuntian finally understood why she was able to become famous in the capital in a short period of time, in terms of dance attainments, she was on a par with Jiangnan Oiran Hongluan, Korean prostitute Liu Zhen and Japanese geisha Sakura, it can be seen that she has not only studied hard but also has an innate dance talent.
Compared with Hongluan, Liu Zhen and Sakurako, Narsa's scheming is even deeper, Li Yuntian is surprised that she is proficient in the Jiangnan dialect of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't think that Narsa is too idle to learn the language of a place thousands of miles away, it is obvious that she has undergone strict language training since she was a child.
In Li Yuntian's opinion, Narsa will definitely not learn the Jiangnan dialect of the Ming Dynasty in vain, even if she did not follow the mission to Daming this time, then she will come to Daming in the future, and she is a senior spy officer of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
In fact, it is true, although Dorul is the envoy of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but he cannot interfere with Narsa's actions in the capital, and this qiē has been seen by Li Yuntian.
Wow......
After the dance, there was warm applause at the scene, and Li Yuntian chatted and laughed with Lu Youyu and others while applauding, and praised Narsha's wonderful dancing skills.
In fact, the Western Regions dance is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the Western Regions dancers will warmly invite the VIPs on the scene to join in when they dance.
However, following the customs of the locals, Narsha knew that the Ming Dynasty officialdom was strictly hierarchical, and Li Yuntiangui would naturally not dance with her in public as the prince, so she dispelled the idea of inviting Li Yuntian.
"The little girl has heard of the prestige of the prince for a long time, and it is really a blessing for the little woman to be lucky to see it today." After thanking everyone at the scene, Narsa walked quickly to Li Yuntian's wine table, bowed to Li Yuntian and said with a smile, "I don't know if the little girl can toast the prince with a glass of wine to show the little woman's admiration." ”
"Respect is exempt, today this king is just a guest who came to congratulate tonight, no need to be polite." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and agreed to Narsa's request in one bite, so as not to spoil everyone's interest.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Hearing this, Narsha's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and then she got up and walked towards Li Yuntian, picking up the wine jug on the table and pouring wine for Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian looked at Narsa with a smile, he noticed the glint in Narsa's eyes, it seemed that Narsa was not so simple as toasting, he wanted to see what Narsa wanted to do.
"Lord Wang, please." After pouring the wine, Narsa held the wine glass in both hands and handed it to Li Yuntian with a smile.
Li Yuntian didn't feel anything unusual, so he took the wine glass and drank it all, and showed the bottom of the glass to Lu Youyu and the others.
"Good!" Lu Youyu and the others immediately laughed and applauded, if it weren't for Li Yuntian's identity there, I'm afraid they would have coaxed Li Yuntian and Narsha to "tease" Li Yuntian and Nalsha.
"The prince is massive." Narsha took Li Yuntian's wine glass and poured another glass, and saluted Li Yuntian with both hands, "This second cup of wine is for the little woman to honor the prince for the people who have been ravaged by the Northern Yuan, if it weren't for the prince and the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy, then the Northern Yuan would make a comeback and act recklessly in the realm of the Ming Dynasty." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Youyu and the others couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces, and looked at each other in amazement, if they remembered correctly, the Chagatai Khanate and the Northern Yuan were of the same line, and their rulers were all from Genghis Khan's golden family.
Moreover, after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty that year, the four major khanates of the Mongol Empire all respected the Yuan Dynasty as their suzerain, but Narsha's tone seemed to be quite hateful to the Northern Yuan.
"Okay, this cup is also drunk by the king." Li Yuntian naturally knew the grievances between the four khanates of the Mongol Empire and the Yuan Dynasty, so he took the wine glass with a smile and drank it dry.
I'm afraid that the Chagatai Khanate hated the Northern Yuan even more than the Ming Dynasty, speaking of which, this involves some of the past events when the Yuan ancestor Kublai Khan ascended the throne, when the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedai Khanate fought fiercely with the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan army won, and the four khanates of the Mongol Empire respected it as the suzerainty of the Mongol Empire, but in fact the relationship with the Yuan Dynasty was very bad.
In order to compete for the control of the Western Regions, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate broke out many conflicts with the Northern Yuan who were driven away by the Ming Dynasty, and it was precisely because of the existence of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate that the Northern Yuan had been unable to subdue the Western Regions, otherwise the weak influence of the Ming Dynasty on the Western Regions would not have been able to prevent the Northern Yuan's iron cavalry from annexing the Western Regions.
This was also an important reason why Li Yuntian wanted to help the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which was not only a buffer zone between the Ming Dynasty and the Timurid Empire, but also contained the remnants of the Northern Yuan in the Western Regions, making it impossible for the remnants of the Northern Yuan to infiltrate into the Western Regions.
"This third cup of wine is the little woman who respects the prince for the people of Monan, and now those people can live and work in peace and contentment, thanks to the prince and the soldiers who rescued them from the tyranny of the Northern Yuan." Then, Narsa poured a third glass of wine and saluted Li Yuntian in a coquettish voice.
Although the Chagatai Khanate and the Yuan Dynasty were not at odds, they were of the same vein after all, so Narsha was naturally sympathetic to the Mongol people under the rule of the Northern Yuan.
In fact, Narsa is a half-breed child, her father is from the Golden Family and her mother is from the Western Regions, and she is still related to Nomin, but because Narsa's mother is a slave, her status cannot be compared to Nomin.
Since Mo Nan returned to the Ming Dynasty, the local Mongolian people have been living a thriving life under Li Yuntian's planning, and in recent years, more and more small Mongolian tribes in Mo North have moved south.
"It seems that this king has to drink this wine." After listening to Narsa's words, Li Yuntian took the wine glass with a smile and drank it up, then handed the wine glass back to Narsa, secretly wondering in his heart whether Narsa should mention the matter of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate asking for help next.
