Chapter 142: A Battle Between Women
This person is Xia Jingnian, the king of Qi, and he sits in the middle of this group of princes and nobles, which makes him stand out from the crowd.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, the eyes of the princes and nobles were all fixed on her, as if they could immediately embrace her into their arms.
Only the person in the light purple clothes, after looking at her indifferently, lowered his head again, and sat upright in the stool, as if her beautiful face was not worth mentioning in that person's heart.
This increased Princess Annan's curiosity and admiration for him.
Two red clouds immediately flew from her arrogant face, and she lowered her head shyly, and then slowly sat down at the banquet. After sitting upright, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Xia Jingnian.
The banquet was going on lively, and Princess An Nan suddenly stood up and began to chant poetry in order to show off in front of Xia Jingnian.
An Nan's eyes stared straight at Xia Jingnian, and said, "I came to pick a husband today, and I already have some plans in my heart. Now chant a poem, I hope my sweetheart can continue! ”
Everyone cheered for a while, staring at her expectantly. Princess Annan's coquettish poem said: "The mountains have trees and trees have branches......"
Ji Qiang, who was sitting on the side, had already found that Princess An Nan was looking at Xia Jingnian's eyes wrong, and she had already eaten vinegar for a long time.
She looked at An Nan without changing her face, her hand clenched slightly.
All the kings' grandchildren and brothers wanted to pick up, but when they saw that Princess An Nan was only staring at Xia Jingnian, they didn't dare to answer.
Xia Jingnian's slender and bony hand pinched the wine glass, and when he heard the words, he didn't move at all, and he didn't give An Nan a look.
Ji Qiang hooked her lips slightly, put down the cup in her hand heavily, got up and responded: "Xinyue Jun Xijun doesn't know!" ”
After saying this poem, she glanced at Xia Jingnian out of the corner of her eye, and just happened to meet Xia Jingnian looking up at her, the two of them looked at each other, lingering affection, as if they had left everyone else behind.
Princess An Nan didn't expect Ji Qiang to suddenly come out like this, making herself lose face in front of everyone, and her face was already a little embarrassed.
She was not willing to admit defeat at all, and when she saw Ji Qiang stealing the limelight from her, she immediately came to the center of the hall and danced to everyone.
An Nan's fiery posture vividly interpreted an exotic dance, which won the applause of the audience, and she cast a provocative gaze at Ji Qiang: "Princess Xiaoyang, can you dance at my challenge?" ”
When the words fell, the atmosphere was a little quiet, and the emperor on the high seat also looked at Ji Qiang with anticipation. The two are both princesses, and they are divided into two countries, which can have different meanings if they should be.
Ji Qiang smiled lightly, got up and said, "Princess An Nan is really talented, and this princess should fight." ”
The band played, Ji Qiang danced, fluttering like a fairy in the sky, and a neon feather dance made everyone praise!
Even Xia Jingnian not only applauded her again and again, but couldn't take her eyes off it.
After the dance, Ji Qiang glanced at An Nan indifferently, her eyes were full of peace, although she won, she was not proud.
Seeing that the dance did not overwhelm the strong, An Nan's eyes rolled, and he came up with another idea: "The daughters of my Luohui Kingdom are all martial arts, let's compete again, how about it?" ”
I saw that she pulled out the scimitar from her waist and began to be vigorous in the main hall, looking heroic, completely different from the coquettishness just now.
"Yes." Not to be outdone, Ji Qiang drew a guard's long sword and pointed it at An Nan. Let's read a book
She did it lightly, and her move was fatal, and before An Nan could react, she was already pressed against her neck by Ji Qiang's sword.
An Nan glared, and in the end he could only bow to the wind. She gritted her teeth and stared at Ji Qiang, unwilling and angry in her heart, all kinds of emotions were mixed together, and the tumbling made her very uncomfortable.
Just when she was thinking about being a demon, Xia Jingnian got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the weather is just right today, how about playing a song with Princess Xiaoyang?" ”
"Very good." The emperor was very emotional because of the struggle between the two princesses.
The eunuchs in the palace quickly and respectfully sent a qin and a pipe of Xiao, and sent them to Ji Qiang and Xia Jingnian respectively.
Xia Jing was old and jade, Ji Qiang sat upright, and began to play a lingering and sympathetic song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
The sound of the piano is crisp and melodious, echoing throughout the hall, making people can't help but indulge in it and feel turbulent.
Those who heard it closed their eyes tightly, and felt that it was really a natural sound, and it was lucky to be able to hear it in this life.
After the two of them finished playing an ensemble, there was a burst of warm applause in the hall, and the applause lasted for a long time, as if it was an encouragement to them.
And Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang used this song to show everyone the feelings between the two people, and the affection is endless, which is inseparable no matter what.
Seeing that Ji Qiang appeared in the limelight at the banquet and snatched away the King of Qi that she had a fancy for, Princess An Nan was even more indignant in her heart, and two vicious flames shot out of her eyes, as if she wanted to burn Ji Qiang alive in this hall.
Princess Annan's face was already distorted by anger, and she said to herself hatefully: "Hmph, I'll let you show off today, and I'll clean you up then!" ”
The banquet went on for a long time, singing and dancing, everyone ate and drank, everyone took the opportunity to indulge, and everyone was very happy.
It wasn't until midnight, when the bright moon was in the sky, that the whole banquet barely ended, and many princes and grandsons were staggered and drunk.
On the long table, there were only messy dishes and scraps, and there were scattered empty wine bottles on the floor.
Even Ji Qiang was drunk, and now her whole body fell to the ground softly, as if she had lost a little consciousness.
Xia Jingnian saw her like this. helplessly supported his forehead, and saw that he was drunk and unconscious all around. He raised his leg and walked towards Ji Qiang, helped her up, and when he looked up, he saw that Ji Qiang was even more charming after being drunk, and he couldn't help but look stunned.
Ji Qiang's already snow-white and flawless face was already red at the moment, and she was still slightly hot.
Coupled with the faint smell of wine exhaled from her mouth, mixed with the aroma on her body, Xia Jingnian couldn't help but be fascinated.
After staring at Ji Qiang blankly for a while, he ordered someone to send Ji Qiang back to the princess's mansion.
This scene was seen by An Nan, and she couldn't help but be even more resentful of Ji Qiang in her heart, jealousy and envy All kinds of emotions were gathered together, and she couldn't wait to tear her apart!
"Hmph, I'm so beautiful, why can't I get the attention of King Qi, I don't believe it, I can't win you!" An Nan thought indignantly in his heart, glared at Ji Qiang fiercely, and turned around to leave the hall.
An Nan is very scheming, exquisite, and very mellow in everything he does. Before entering the palace, she inquired that there was a festival between the queen and Ji Qiang, thinking about this, she immediately went to Jiaofeng Palace, wanting to join forces with the queen to deal with Ji Qiang.
An Nan specially instructed the small kitchen in the palace to prepare some of the queen's favorite snacks and deliver them in person.
