Chapter 42: Sword Dance

Under the attention of everyone, Phantom Tong walked to the open space in the middle and bowed to the emperor.

"The minister has nothing else to do, he can only dance with knives and guns, and what he can send is his own blood and determination to defend his family and the country. Loyalty is invisible, and I am willing to cheer for His Majesty's sword dance. ”

"My Anan is good at the rhythm of music, Phantom Tong dances the sword, let Anan stroke the piano by the side."

The father named him to play the piano, Teng Zinan was very excited, and he didn't care that he was accompaniment to Huantong, so he ran to the guqin and sat down.

Before playing the piano, he didn't forget to look at Teng Ziyan proudly, showing off that he had received the attention of his father, which made Teng Ziyan very inexplicable.

Calming down, Teng Zinan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, plucked the strings with her fingertips, and the smooth sound flowed out from under her fingers. The sound of the piano is sometimes low like the roar of a wild beast, sometimes it is high-pitched into the waves crashing on the shore, and the aftersound lingers for a long time.

Huantong was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this princess's piano skills to be so superb.

The sound of the piano has risen, and Phantom Tong also drew out the sword, the sword light was cold, and the sound of the sword out of the sheath "ding" resounded throughout the hall.

Teng Zinan's piano sound became tighter and tighter as Phantom Tong's sword came out, and Phantom Tong's movements also became faster, and there was no sword body, only a string of sword light.

At the end of the song, Teng Zinan's forehead was already sweating, with a smile on her face, this was the most hearty time she played the piano.

As the last sound of the piano disappeared into the air, the sword of Phantom Tong had also been sheathed, and there was another "ding" sound.

"Good!" The five princes were the first to applaud, and the other ministers didn't care about their identities anymore, so they applauded one after another.

"Weichen is ugly, today's sword dance can make everyone enjoy it, all thanks to the sound of the princess."

As he spoke, Phantom Tong turned to Teng Zinan's direction and bowed.

Teng Zinan looked at the humble son in front of him, his face was a little flushed because of the sword dance, and he lowered his head shyly.

"Situ Gongzi praised it falsely."

In Huantong's eyes, Teng Zinan is the sister he has never met, and there is a little more tenderness in his eyes.

But all this fell in Li Wanzhu's eyes, but it turned into an eyebrow, and the bean cake in his hand was crushed.

"One moment it's a little guard, another moment it's a princess, Situ Huantong, why are you so careful!"

Li Chenghong heard his daughter's whisper, and asked sideways, "Wanzhu, what did you say?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think my benefactor is quite good."

Li Wanzhu sat very well-behaved, and she didn't look like a lady outside at all.

Li Chenghong stroked his beard, looked at Huantong and nodded: "Well, he is a good young man, worthy of our Wanzhu." ”

Li Wanzhu was a little embarrassed when she saw that her mind was debunked by her father.

"What are you shy, sooner or later you have to get married."

Li Chenghong looked at his daughter and secretly decided in his heart that since his daughter liked it, he had to help his daughter get it.

Phantom Tong and Teng Zinan returned to their seats, and Teng Zinan would still secretly go to see Phantom Tong.

Watching him peel shrimp for Yilian, he sighed that he was really a good brother, watching him chat with Zhao Zhenyu, I felt that Huantong was more attractive than others, and when I remembered the process of dancing the sword just now, I felt that my heart was beating wildly.

Teng Zinan wrote all the on her face, Teng Ziyan saw that her sister, who was usually arrogant and domineering, suddenly changed her sex, her eyes were full of tenderness, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she only felt a chill all over her body.

"Sister, don't put your mind on Situ Gongzi, he has a sweetheart."

Teng Ziyan didn't know what kind of expression her sister would have if she knew that Huantong was Teng Zijin and their eldest brother. In order to prevent this tragedy from happening, Teng Ziyan still decided to let Teng Zinan die first.

"He has a sweetheart, how does my sister know." Teng Zinan glanced at Ah Yan with slanted eyes, and snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, I'm afraid I don't envy my sister." ”

"Whatever you want." Teng Ziyan only felt regretful, her kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and she didn't want to care anymore.

Teng Zinan pursed his lips, feeling that Teng Ziyan was right by himself, and sat up straight, with the word "proud" written on his face.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone had to go home for a vigil, so before the time came, the dinner was dispersed.

"Huantong, if I want to stay in the palace tonight, I can't go with you." The five princes followed Huantong all the way, from the Taihe Hall to the gate of the palace, and they were still very reluctant before parting.

"Since Your Highness is so reluctant, why don't you take me to drink Baihua Brew again in two days." Phantom Tong suggested.

"No problem, it's the day after tomorrow." The fifth prince instantly had a spirit, and looking at him, it seemed that he was very reluctant to go immediately.

The fifth prince and Huantong exchanged a few more words until Yilian yawned for the third time, and the two of them said goodbye.

Seeing the five princes walk away, the two brothers and sisters were ready to leave.

"Brother, this fifth prince is not bad to you." Yilian said and yawned again.

Huantong turned his head and glanced at the five princes who were far away, and felt very warm in his heart, in this cold palace, at least there were Ah Yan, Teng Zike and Zirui.

"The fifth prince is really good, and he can take me to drink."

"Brother, why do you only know how to drink, can you do something serious with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." Yilian stuck her waist and puffed out her mouth, a little angry.

"Okay, don't drink, do your business, listen to your sister." Phantom Tong took Yilian into his arms and walked towards their carriage.

The two were walking, only to feel that there was movement in the grass behind them, as if there was someone, and Huantong's ear power was better, as if he heard someone call his name.

When he looked back, he saw two figures in the bushes, and one of them stood up and waved at him.

Phantom Tong was a little puzzled, and looked closer, his right hand tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword, and his eyes fixed on the figure.

"Who's it, come out." The sword came out of its sheath and was aimed at the man's throat, and with a little force, the blade could sink into the flesh.

"Situ Huantong, it's me." The man in the shadows lowered his voice, as if he was being pressed against the tip of the sword, and his voice trembled slightly.

Phantom Tong leaned forward, leaned closer, and looked closely, vaguely feeling that there was another touch of red on the person's forehead.

Tentatively asked, "Brook?" ”

"yes, put your sword down." An Xiruo's tone revealed anxiety, and the whole person kept looking left and right.

Phantom Tong put away his sword and inserted him back into the scabbard, and there was another "bang".

An Xiruo quickly put his hand on the sword and looked around nervously.

"Quietly, quietly."

After observing the surroundings, you turned his head and said to Phantom Tong in a very small voice and a very exaggerated mouth shape.

"What are you doing?" Huantong was confused by An Xiruo, and learned from An Xiruo's appearance and spoke in a low voice.

"I escaped with Zhi'er, can you take us out of the palace?" An Xiruo pressed the hilt of Phantom Tong's sword, and his face came to Phantom Tong.

An Xiruo's hand was a little cold, so it was attached to Huantong's hand, her face was very close to Huantong's face, so close that Huantong could feel her snort, with a hint of sweetness, sprayed on Huantong's face, Huantong only felt that her face was a little burning, and her heart was beating a little fast.

Huantong was afraid that if he continued like this, he would not be able to control himself, so he hurriedly took a step back.

I don't want An Xiruo to maintain her posture and rely on holding Phantom Tong's sword, as soon as Phantom Tong moved, her feet became unstable, and she flew out with Phantom Tong and crashed into Phantom Tong's arms.

Phantom Tong subconsciously hugged each other, and the two of them really hugged each other.

The jasmine fragrance on An Xiruo's body surrounded Phantom Tong, as if he was in a sea of jasmine, time stopped, and only the two of them remained.

An Xiruo, who woke up first, quickly pushed away Phantom Tong and said sorry embarrassedly.

"Ahem, it's okay, I'll take you out of the palace." Phantom Tong's hand froze in mid-air, pretending to touch his head before withdrawing it.
