Mu Qingyao looked at Yue Xiaohan with her eyes, she thought she would see a stunning expression on his face, but she found that he hung his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly choked in his heart, isn't this dress beautiful? Why is he still blind to himself?

Mu Yunlan was a little hungry, looking at the dim sum on the table was very exquisite, she pinched a piece and tasted it: the eldest lady really worked hard for Mu Qingyao, this dim sum was filled with flower petals, and eating it in one bite was like swallowing a flower, fragrant and sweet, with endless aftertaste.

Yue Xiaoqing, who was the first person on the other side, saw that she was eating sweetly, and squinted her eyes slightly from time to time, and couldn't help but eat a piece of it, completely forgetting the doctor's advice not to eat sweets.

Mu Jianyu and Mu Zhenglin rushed over, originally, Mu Qingyao's birthday banquet was mostly invited to female guests, and they should not attend, but the eldest prince and the third prince arrived, if they didn't show up, they couldn't talk about it.

After a salute, Mu Jianyu spoke: "Today is Qingyao's birthday, thank you for coming, Your Royal Highnesses the two princes and distinguished guests, the old man is here to give you a cup." ”

Mu Qingyao stood upright, with a decent smile on her face, and a Luo skirt, like a beautiful peacock bird.

Everyone looked at her, and then at Mu Yunlan, and couldn't help but shake their heads slightly: Mu Yunlan was dressed in a water-red shirt and jewelry, but she was more imposing, and she was not robbed of the limelight by the strong colors.

Mu Qingyao's previous aqua blue dress was very beautiful, although it was not as eye-catching as Mu Yunlan, but it could be regarded as having its own merits. And she changed into an expensive and complicated dress, which didn't match her temperament.

The eldest lady Qi said: "Today is the little girl's birthday, thank you for coming, I am grateful, so I asked the little girl to offer a dance to thank you." ”

Mu Qingyao stepped forward slowly with a smile, folded her hands and saluted slightly: "Qingyao is ugly." ”

The light music sounded, Mu Qingyao stretched her arms gently, and her wide sleeves moved lightly, and the colors flowed.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel that this dress was embroidered with gold thread with dark lines, which could not be seen when it was still, but once it moved, the light appeared, and it was brilliant.

The music continued, Mu Qingyao danced to the music like a peacock, with slender arms, soft waist, flying skirt, and graceful shapes.

Mu Yunlan raised her eyes, twisted the wine glass, and the corners of her lips turned up: The eldest lady wants to use this banquet to make Mu Qingyao completely famous.

Everyone looked at the dance in front of them in shock, and only felt that Mu Qingyao was beautiful from head to toe to fingertips at the moment, every movement, every dance was wonderful. No wonder this dress didn't match, Mu Yunlan still wore it out, it turned out to be for this dance.

"There should be ...... in heaven"

The young ladies who came to the banquet were on fire, and a deep jealousy rose in their hearts.

Mu Wanyi smiled softly on her face, and said softly: "After today, the Peacock Dance is probably going to be famous in the imperial capital." ”

Mu Yunlan turned her head to look at her: "Peacock Dance? ”

"Well, the third aunt is a dancer, and what she is best at is peacock dance."

Mu Yunlan thought carefully about the third aunt in her mouth, and it took a while before she reacted: "Is it your biological mother?" ”

Mu Wanyi nodded slightly, looking at Mu Qingyao, who was receiving praise from everyone after the last turn, with a gentle smile on her face, and a strong hatred in her eyes:

Peacock dance is what her biological mother is good at, once when her mother taught her to dance, she was seen by Mu Qingyao and had to learn it.

At that time, she had no scheming, thinking that she would please her eldest sister and that her mother-in-law could find a good home for her, so she readily agreed. Who knows, the two learned together, she danced better than the eldest sister, at that time she was still happy in her heart, but after a few days, she accidentally fell on her knee, and she couldn't dance again.

After Mu Qingyao finished saluting everyone, she turned her head to look at Mu Yunlan: "I am unfamiliar with my dancing skills, I deserve your praise, everyone doesn't know, my fourth sister is really superb in dance." ”

The eldest lady's eyebrows moved, and she glared at Mu Qingyao secretly.

Mu Qingyao bit her lip and lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look at her: she understood what her mother meant, and knew that she shouldn't worry about Mu Yunlan at such an important banquet today, but she was unwilling, and she was unwilling to think that her cousin treated her as nothing. She just wants to make Mu Yunlan ugly and let her cousin see who is the best!

"Big sister, I'm not good at dancing. Didn't you know? Mu Yunlan rolled her eyes secretly, the original body could jump, but after changing to her, that talent made her miserable.

"Why should my sister be humble," Mu Qingyao walked to Mu Yunlan's side, took her hand and pulled her up, and led her to the center of the hall without saying anything, "Does my sister think that dancing at my birthday banquet is a loss of identity?" ”

Mu Yunlan raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, and a trace of coldness flashed at the corner of her lips: "Okay." "Since you asked, I'll be so sorry for you if I don't jump, but I did, don't regret it.

Seeing her expression, Mu Qingyao's heart moved slightly: Could it be that she can really dance better than her? No, no, she had never seen Mu Yunlan learn dance, she was definitely bluffing!

Mu Yunlan looked around the hall, and finally fell on the eldest prince Yue Xiaoqing: "Your Royal Highness, how about borrowing your sword?" ”

"Why not." Yue Xiaoqing stood up, and wanted to give her the saber down, but when she saw her stretching out her hand, she smiled at him with a confident and indifferent face, and he directly pulled out the sword and threw it at her.

"Ahh Some people couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene, which would be lively if blood was splashed on the spot at the banquet.

The strength is gone! Yue Xiaoqing was also shocked after throwing it, and it was too late to save it.

Mu Yunlan saw the cold light of the long sword coming towards her, a smile rose on the corner of her lips, and she stepped back, and the long sword fell towards the top of her head at an extremely fast speed.

Yue Xiaohan was tense, only to feel that his heart was clenched: "Get out of the way!" ”

Mu Yunlan took a step back suddenly, the long sword fell sharply behind her, her eyes lit up, she twisted her waist and turned half a circle, grabbed the long sword that was about to land, and pulled a sword flower with a brush.

The beauty holds a sword and her eyes are cold. The skirt is flying like fire, and the peony is vibrating vividly.

Suddenly, she danced, her sword flashing and breaking through the air. Everyone only felt that the temperature in the hall had plummeted, and the sound of wind and thunder was faintly heard in their ears.

Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light.

They no longer know what words to use to describe it, but they feel that they have never been more shocked. It turns out that women's sword dancing can also be so dazzling and brilliant.

Until Mu Yunlan took a leap, the long sword stood with his hands tied, and no one came back to his senses.

After a while, Yue Xiaoqing got up abruptly and shouted: "Okay! ”

His eyes were unprecedentedly bright, he only thought that the women of the imperial capital were beautiful before, but they were all so similar, soft-spoken, smiling, and even the gentle smile arc at the corners of his lips was similar. Now, he finally saw a different landscape, she was blazing, like clouds and glow in the sky, stabbing people's eyes and hearts.

"A sword dance moves in all directions! Good! ”

Mu Jianyu laughed loudly and looked at Mu Yunlan with appreciation: "Okay, good, I really deserve to be the granddaughter of the old man." ”

Mu Yunlan raised a bright smile, casually threw the long sword to Yue Xiaoqing, saluted and thanked everyone, and caught a glimpse of Mu Qingyao with a blue face from the corner of her eyes, and raised her eyebrows slightly: I said I don't jump, you have to let me jump, look, I feel uncomfortable.

Mu Qingyao was not only uncomfortable, at this time, her heart was full of hatred for Mu Yunlan, and she couldn't wait to break her body into ten thousand pieces.

The eldest lady closed her eyes, saw Mu Qingyao's distorted and almost out of shape, and pinched her arm fiercely: "Laugh!" At this time, even if you hate Mu Yunlan so much that your heart is bleeding, you have to smile at me! ”

Mu Qingyao gritted her teeth, slowly took a few breaths before adjusting her expression, stepped forward and gently took Mu Yunlan's hand: "I'll just say that Sister Yunlan, you are modest, look, everyone stunned you." ”

Seeing Mu Qingyao's generous performance, some people praised: "Lord Wei Guogong is really strict in family style, and the two granddaughters are so good." ”

"The Mu family is a good girl!"

Being held by Mu Qingyao affectionately, Mu Yunlan couldn't help but tremble: she was still used to the appearance of this eldest sister's fierce words.

Just when the hall was hot, the palace people with the brocade concubine reward were invited in.

"Concubine Jin Niangniang knew that today was the birthday of the eldest lady, so she specially sent gifts: ten Nanyang Dongzhu, a pair of high-grade rubies, two jade, and a pair of Ruyi ......"

Listening to this rich reward, everyone couldn't help but secretly say to themselves, this Jin Concubine Niangniang really loves the eldest lady of the Mu family, I heard earlier that she seemed to be dissatisfied with the marriage of the third prince and the fourth lady, and I don't know if it's true or not......

Mu Qingyao thanked him and then looked at the gift in front of him, the breath in his heart was finally relaxed, and when he saw the ruby head, the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't help but deepen, and he picked up the hairpin in it and compared it to Mu Yunlan:

"Sister Yunlan is very suitable for red, and this set of ruby heads is particularly suitable for my sister, but this is a reward from my aunt, so it's not good to give it to my sister......"

How good you look, how good you dance with a sword, what you see in this world is never how good you do, but how solid the power support behind you is, as long as your aunt supports her, even if she doesn't understand poetry and books, she can still sit firmly in the position of the third princess!

Is this a provocation? Mu Yunlan glanced at the ruby head, not to mention, she really didn't like it, and she didn't see anything better than the one on her head.

Everyone praised Mu Qingyao one after another, and put aside Mu Yunlan, who had shined before, awkwardly.

Mu Yunlan didn't mind, sat back in her seat and continued to eat.

Mu Wanyi saw that her wine glass was empty, took the wine jug and filled it for her, and softly comforted: "Fourth sister, don't mind, eldest sister...... It's different from us after all......"

Mu Yunlan blinked: "Thank you, second sister, I'll just come by myself." ”

Seeing that Mu Yunlan pretended not to understand, Mu Wanyi smiled, as if the person who had just sowed discord was not her.

Suddenly, Gao Yan, the head of the Mu Mansion, walked in quickly: "Lord Qiyu, King Ning'an's people are here, and when I heard that the fourth lady was here, I came over directly." ”
