Chapter Thirty-Seven: Breaking the Formation

More than a dozen dancing girls in the main hall are dressed in pink feather coats, dancing softly and charmingly, and their every move is charming.

The music ordered by the officials and ministers was placed in a tray by the court maid and presented to the musicians behind the curtains, and the musicians played them in the order of the repertoire.

After three rounds of drinking, people were a little drunk, and even the young ladies and princesses used some peach blossom wine, and their little faces were flushed, like peaches.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have a proposal." A beautiful voice came from behind An Xi, and an aqua blue slender figure slowly stepped out and came to the center of the main hall.

In an instant, all the young ladies and young masters who were still talking stopped talking, and the ministers stopped drinking.

"The courtiers heard that the beauties in Beijing are quite talented, and they dare to invite the beauties to have a competition with the courtiers, what do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar among the official ladies behind An Xi, and it is true that the official ladies are quite talented... It's just that the meaning of these words is too insulting.

A beauty is a beauty, an official lady is an official lady, the former is a prostitute in the building, and the latter is the daughter of a wealthy family.

People in Beijing will avoid using the word beauty when they speak, for fear that others will think that they have insulted her.

I didn't expect this concubine of the Ministry of Industry to speak so uncleanly, with the meaning of insult.

If her rookie children who have just entered Beijing still talk about the past, but the daughter of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has lived in the capital since she was a child, it is impossible to say that she is innocent if she does not know.

Not to mention her proposal, if only the girls are competing for beauty, it doesn't matter, today the emperor is here, the prince is here, and the ministers are here, are they shameless?

For a while, many official daughters and relatives looked at Xu Li of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu angrily, and even the ministers were dissatisfied with her - who wants to watch their daughters play the piano and sing in front of many foreign men?

Seeing that no one was paying attention to his proposal, Xu Li stood in the center of the hall with a little embarrassment, his eyes glancing around.

Seeing that Xu Li suddenly locked his eyes on his seat, An Xi was relieved: Good guy.

Waiting for me here.

"The courtiers dare to ask Miss An Xi'an to compete with the courtiers."

Sure enough, after a while, he heard Xu Li's voice, accompanied by the sound of clothes rustling and moving, An Xi didn't look up, but guessed that most of the eyes in this banquet hall should be on him now.

Yu Yi'an quietly divided his gaze to An Xi's direction.

For some reason, he wasn't very worried about her, and he forgot when Anxi was always able to deal with tricky problems on his own.

Although there is a kind of grievance of not being needed, he still likes such a powerful Anxi.

An Xi took a sip of tea, glanced at Xu Li leisurely, and didn't speak.

"How can you be so rude, how can our royal women fight and dance with you in public, Miss Xu... What is this taking you for? ”

Before An Xi could speak, a gentle female voice came from the royal lady's seat a little farther away.

is the only concubine of the emperor, the eighth princess Yu Yiluo.

Dressed in a milky white and gold imperial dress, her tall figure sets off her elegance and peerlessness.

The eighth princess is three years younger than Yu Yi'an, and she is the last dragon heir born in the third year of the Dayu Dynasty, and An Xi is not familiar with her.

As the county lord of the emperor's own title, An Xi is naturally a member of the royal family, but everyone still likes to treat her as the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But as soon as the eighth princess mentioned this, Xu Li seemed even more impatient.

An Xi narrowed her eyes, this girl... It was not a simple whimsical provocation and insult, otherwise she would not have been hit alone.

Raising the corners of his eyes, he quietly inspected everyone present, and there were no people who looked wrong in the royal seats, official seats, and Mrs. Decree seats.

Seemingly... The instigator is definitely among these seemingly innocent and harmless official ladies behind him?

It's just that there are not many people, and the IQ is not high, otherwise Xu Li's words just now would not have caused angry discussions among the young ladies.

Yu Yi'an looked at Xu Li with gloomy eyes, he knew what was going on, and he felt a little disgusted in his heart, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of An Xi's glaring at him.

Changed his high-hanging expression - he suddenly wanted to see how An Xi would respond.

An Xi was angry when she saw Yu Yi'an's embarrassed expression of "I just want to watch the play", isn't this because of him?

The eyebrows between the two of them were all in the eyes of Yu Zhe and Qi Buruo, and the two looked at each other, and each had a competition.

Qi Buruo, who originally wanted to dissuade him, accepted his words and just waited to see Anxi's countermeasures.

Prime Minister's wife Liu Qingqing looked anxiously in the direction of An Xi, but Prime Minister An stared at Xu Fuyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, with a cold face, who stared directly at his daughter.

An Xi, who was thought of by several people at the same time to see how she reacted, was tired of it, and made up her mind not to come to this royal banquet with too much intrigue again.

Yu Yiluo, the eighth princess who was helping her, nodded lightly to show her gratitude, and after getting the other party's response, An Xi held a glass of peach blossom wine and drank it to Xu Li, "Beauty Xu first, please." ”

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister An Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

Beauty is naturally to describe prostitutes, but the surname alone plus the beauty may be simply praising the beauty of the person, but putting the surname behind the beauty is an insult to a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, but Xu Li's words are not inferior first, and his daughter can be regarded as angry for all the women.

Who said that his An Yan's daughter only knows how to oppress others by force?

Even a burst of applause and whispers came from behind An Xi, and Yu Yiluo hid his face and laughed, making Xu Li blush.

The musicians began to play without asking Xu Li's opinion at the suggestion of Yu Yiluo, and the repertoire played was called "Li Xiangsi".

Xu Li wanted to say something, but under the urging of many eyes, he had to start moving, and his resentful eyes were staring at Yu Yiluo.

"Li Acacia" is the favorite song of the girls in the building at night, and the officials and gentlemen also like to order this song. This song has an obscene atmosphere, which shows the prostitute's lovesickness for the old man very explicitly, coupled with the seductive and soft voice, it is naturally very seductive.

The aqua blue cigarette shirt brings out waves like smoke and water in the twisting, the waist is like a plain, the skin is like clotted fat, the body is light like a goose, the arms are like bonesless, very soft, and a dotted emerald hairpin inlaid with pearls is obliquely inserted into the neat low bun, which is charming and charming between the waves.

Miss Xu Li's dancing skills are really not low, and beauty is beautiful, but it is inevitable to fall into clichés, coupled with her uneducated and provocative remarks before, no one cheered for her after the song was finished.

Xu Li blushed, lowered his head and said goodbye to the two of them, and his hateful eyes couldn't help but glance at An Xi and Yu Yiluo, as well as Ni Yan, the daughter of the Kyoto General Soldier, who was sitting behind An Xi's right.

It seems that this Ni Yan is the woman who conspired with Xu Li.

An Xi hooked the corners of her mouth, half-flirted her long skirt in a look of expectation, disdain, or worry, and stepped forward generously.

"Please play a song "Breaking the Formation" for me"
