The evening breeze is cool, and the moon is like water. The sound of the lyre came from the tavern on the bank of the peach blossom stream in the southern suburbs of Yudu, which was ancient and elegant, sassy and melodious, sometimes light as falling and scattering, and sometimes as fine as a sword flower.

Because Qing Yu and Yi Feng were men from other countries, Qiao Cheng and Ling Zi were reluctant to dance in front of them, so they invited the two of them to stand outside the small courtyard of the tavern, and said in the beautiful name, "Guard for us, no idle people will enter."

The two famous masters in the Zichuan Shu Palace were so depressed that they were knocked out of the tavern to listen to the piano. They felt that they were full of wine and food, and the sound of the piano was beautiful, and although they were invited out of the courtyard, they did not complain because they could travel around the world with Shu'er.

At that time, how could they have known that there were three kings, two queens, and a powerful minister sitting in the small tavern behind them?

Qiao Ji and Ling Zi stepped on the moonlight and falling flowers, and danced the same ancient song of the Great Zhou Dynasty under the lamp - "Xuannu Steps".

Qiao Cheng is tall, and a gold silk belt ties up the soft green Luo skirt, which looks slender and fresh and refined.

Ling Zi is petite, the pink neon dress is smooth and warm, and the peach blossoms are shaking and the stars are shining, making the red dust dazzling and unforgettable.

The dancing postures of the two are extremely similar, and there is no difference in footwork, and they both try their best to achieve the lower waist, rotation, kicking, and high jump that the dance of "Xuannu Steps" should have...... It can be seen that both of them have practiced dancing since childhood, with slender necks, soft waists, strong legs and feet, and flexible gestures. The basic skills of the two are excellent, and for a while, it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.

Ling Fei turned his head to look at Liu Jing, and saw that his expression was as indifferent as ever, as if he was in deep thought with the sound of the piano, and did not take a closer look at the two famous ladies dancing in front of him. Ling Fei sighed secretly for him, could it be that His Royal Highness didn't take a fancy to any of the two girls with such a prominent family background and a charming appearance?

Shu'er, who was sitting beside Liu Jing, watched and admired it seriously. She knew that these two young ladies who were one of the best daughters in the Song Kingdom must have fallen in love with one of the Qiao brothers, so they were willing to put down their bodies and dance here, which can be described as a show and a competition. She felt that Qiao Jing and Qiao Ling were both men with outstanding talents, and it was not an exaggeration to take a fancy to any of them to those two young ladies, and she didn't bother to guess.

Slightly drunk after drinking, Shu'er inadvertently flashed a thought, maybe one day she can also change into a woman's clothes, in order to compete for her beloved, stepping on the falling flowers and dancing, Luo socks are fragrant...... She danced much better than these two powerless deep ladies. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lower her head and smile self-deprecatingly. She seems to prefer sword practice to dancing. No matter how beautiful the dance is, after all, it is just greedy for a moment of grace, but swordsmanship can defend yourself and kill the enemy.

What interrupted Shu'er's thoughts was the sudden rhythm of Lin Ying's fingertips.

Although the melody of "Xuannu Step" is complex, such as Zhou Yi gossip, hexagram and hexagram are born together, and the changes are endless, but the rhythm of the song is light and orderly, from the beginning to the end, so that its dance steps are orderly before and after, and it can leap and jump on the hexagram position in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and become more agile. Only when the dance steps and the music complement each other, can the dancer's footwork be dense and precise, and the posture can be graceful like a dragon. At this time, Lin Ying suddenly slowed down the speed of the dance music, Qiao Cheng and Ling Zi didn't step on the beat, and they couldn't help but stumble, and they both stepped in the wrong direction. The two of them each had a chill in their hearts, for fear of taking a wrong step, stepping on a wrong step. They quickly regained their pace and continued to dance.

Shu'er tilted her head and glanced at Lin Ying. His outstanding piano skills are simply deliberately playing wrong. I saw Lin Ying's pair of peach blossom eyes glancing at the two young ladies, and the naughty smile in her eyes swayed in the candlelight for a moment, and then lowered her eyes to see the seven strings that he plucked at will.

Shu'er sighed softly. Since she left Fanjing, she has seen Lin Ying's sudden changes. All along, Lin Ying has only been immersed in her own world, playing the piano and painting, listening to books in restaurants, and does not like to socialize with people. After the opening of Biliang cosmetics, he devoted himself to developing new products, and it was common for him not to go out of the courtyard for a few days, like a lady who lived in a simple house. Occasionally, I saw him talking and laughing with people, either with the storytellers in the restaurant, or with people discussing calligraphy and painting techniques, string texture, and so on on the old city building.

The state of Chen borders on the land of the Rong tribe outside the Guanwai, and the people are comfortable and open, not as rigid and rigid as the other four countries in Kyushu. Chen Guo's rich ladies did not soon live in the boudoir, and they often ate and drank in groups on the street. In the Biliang cosmetics shop in Fanjing, you can often see the daughters of the Prime Minister Chen Guo's mansion, the major generals' mansions and the mansions of various ministries. They like to come to see the handsome and unparalleled young man "Su Ying", talk to him, ask him about painting skills, and ask about rouge gouache. Lin Ying was polite to them on the surface, but she didn't bother to pay attention to them, so she let the rumors that he had broken sleeves spread all over Fanjing and Chen Guo, and never refuted them. Gradually, the noisy ladies stopped bothering him in person, and he finally settled up in his ears.

Shu'er feels that over the years, Lin Ying has actually been a person who likes to be quiet and alone, and is not a stubborn person who talks a lot and causes trouble. But since leaving Fanjing with Shu'er, Lin Ying has always nagged and talked nonsense in front of Shu'er, and even dared to discuss the rights and wrongs of King Zhao at will in the Zhao Palace, and also looked at the princess of Zhao and the palace maids in the Zhao Palace, and smeared honey on her mouth...... At the moment, I am afraid that the world will not stir up the two daughters of the Song Kingdom to compete in dance, and they deliberately play the wrong game to see them make a fool of themselves.

Shu'er pondered in her heart: "Xiaoying, what's wrong with you?" We are getting closer and closer to the country of Chu, you are about to be able to return to your hometown and see your father, is it possible that at this time, you are also like me, close to your hometown, timid, and worried, you have to find others to vent, can you be happy? ”

Lin Ying was tired of flickering fast and slow, and played the song "Xuannu Step" into "Drunken Song", which was mixed with mistones and leaks, and occasionally made up a short paragraph and mixed it in. Pity the two daughters of Song Guo, who have been practicing dance for more than ten years, have good dance steps, from walking on thin ice to stumbling and overwhelmed, and finally completely messed up the rules, the movements are no longer consistent, but they each danced their own style. But the two of them caught a glimpse of each other jumping to the rhythm, and neither of them was willing to stop first and admit defeat, so they had to bite the bullet and secretly scold the Diao Min of Chen Guo, who looked good-skinned, but they didn't expect to be so cunning and deliberately embarrassed the two of them.

Lin Ying looked at their chaotic dance steps with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and thought happily: "You say that singing and dancing is a 'small skill of carving insects', but is it really that easy?" Do you really think that you are the noblest and most beautiful lady of the Song Kingdom? Sister Shu'er doesn't care about you. But I won't allow you to stink in front of her. How much suffering and tiredness she has endured outside alone, you daughters who only know how to embroider and read poetry in the deep boudoir will never understand. What I can make you understand is that you don't rely on your family background to talk so fast outside. The princess of the Song Kingdom and the lord of the Chu State have not said anything, but you dare to belittle the dancing concubine of the Chen State as 'serving people in Israel' and 'not going to the hall'. Don't you know that the biological mother of the princess of the Song Kingdom is the dancing queen of Fanjing?
