Chapter 68: Competing to make a fool of yourself
"What the queen sister said is extremely true. General Shen is a heroine among women, and her daughter will definitely not be bad. Speaking of this, Concubine Li paused slightly, glanced in the direction of Jiang Xinlan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and then said, "Three years ago, Miss Jiang danced in the city, which is unforgettable, and now I believe that you can't wait to see Miss Jiang's dancing like this palace." In previous years, Miss Jiang danced alone, so it is better to let Miss Shui and Miss Jiang dance together this year, which can be regarded as a little more novel. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present were different, some were gloating, some were indifferent, and some were secretly worried, but Situ Shaogong, with an interesting smile in his ink eyes under the mask, he believed that a mere dance would never stump that woman.
Concubine Li's words fell, and her lips hooked up a sneering arc. No one in the entire Dongli Kingdom knows that Jiang Xinlan's dancing skills are outstanding, and no one is invincible. Similarly, everyone knows that she is useless, let her dance with Jiang Xinlan, isn't it clear that she will humiliate her?
"Who in the entire Dongli Kingdom doesn't know that the courtiers don't know how to be talented, they are useless, it's better to hide the ugliness, the two mothers do this, they have to catch the ducks on the shelves, don't you want to see the courtiers make a fool?" Shui Ningyan slowly got up and said with a smile.
"Bold water condensation, is this the attitude you should have when talking to the queen's sister and the palace?" At this moment, the faces of Queen Yun Zixiao and Concubine Li were extremely difficult to see, and Concubine Li said angrily.
As long as the queen and Concubine Li said just now, as long as they were not fools, their intentions could be seen clearly, but almost everyone present did not expect that Shui Ningyan would expose their unsightly intentions. Most of the daughters stared at Shui Ningyan curiously, but they were wondering whether this Shui Ningyan was fearless or a fool who dared to offend the queen and the concubine at the same time, which they couldn't even imagine.
Shui Ningyan ignored Concubine Li's clamour, and Gu Zi continued, "I heard that Miss Murong, the sister of Concubine Li, is extremely talented, and the courtiers feel that it is better to let Miss Murong and Miss Jiang dance together, it must be good." ”
When Concubine Li heard this, she was already so angry that she was smoking. As if he hadn't seen it, he turned his eyes and fell on Huang Fuhao on the gilded dragon chair, and said with a light smile: "The emperor is a generation of Ming monarchs, I don't know what the emperor thinks of the courtier's proposal?" ”
When Huang Fuhao heard this, he laughed dumbly. This girl first deducted a Mingjun hat for him, if he objected, wouldn't it mean that he had become a faint monarch who didn't know right and wrong? This girl is really weird.
"Ahem, I also think Shui Ningyan is good, so let Miss Murong and Miss Jiang from Shangshu Mansion dance together."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Zixiao and Concubine Li's faces were dark, and their eyes staring at the water and smoke could almost breathe fire. Others were stunned. Originally, they thought that Shui Ningyan would make such a statement against the queen and Concubine Li, even if they didn't die, they would have to peel off a layer of skin, but they didn't expect that the emperor would readily agree to Shui Ningyan's request, which is really incredible.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are willing to dance with Miss Jiang." Almost as soon as Huang Fuhao's words fell, Murong Xue couldn't wait to get up.
Huang Fuhao nodded. Looking at the eager expression on Murong Xue's face, Concubine Li's willow eyebrows frowned, secretly worried. Shui Ningyan saw Concubine Li's expression in her eyes, and the corners of her lips under the veil hooked a playful arc.
She knew what Concubine Li was worried about. Today, Concubine Li is stealing chickens and rice, and originally wanted her to dance with Jiang Xinlan to see her make a fool of herself, but I was afraid that I wouldn't see her make a fool of myself today, but I wanted to watch Murong Xue look good in front of everyone.
The light of the water condensation smoke was flowing, and she saw Jiang Xinlan, who was not far from her, with an arc of unknown meaning on her lips. However, when she noticed Shui Ningyan's inquiring gaze, she quickly withdrew her smile.
Shui Ningyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Jiang Xinlan has maintained the dignified image of a fair lady since she appeared in front of everyone, but inadvertently there will always be a trace of essence leaking from her eyes. This Jiangxin Lancheng Mansion is extremely deep, and it is by no means a good type, and it is not something that just one Murong Xue can deal with.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers dare to dance with Miss Jiang and Miss Murong." At this moment, a gentle voice came without warning, and the surroundings were silent for an instant.
All the daughters looked sideways at the person who spoke. I saw Shui Ningmo standing there, a pair of beautiful eyes full of anticipation. Catching up with Murong Xue's hateful gaze, Shui Ningmo rolled his eyes disdainfully. Although Murong Xue is a well-known talented woman in the capital and can sing and dance, she has been practicing her dancing skills since she witnessed Jiang Xinlan's Moon Shadow Dance at the Hundred Flowers Banquet three years ago, and she has made great progress in the past three years. She is confident that even if she can't suppress Jiang Xinlan today, she can definitely be on an equal footing with Jiang Xinlan. Beauty and dance skills can only be compared together, so she will never give up the opportunity to become famous now.
Because of the different relationships between the concubines, although Shui Ningyan and Shui Ningmo are both young ladies of the General's Mansion, Shui Ningmo sits in the back position because she is a concubine. Otherwise, if the water ink and the water condensation smoke sit together, the water condensation smoke will definitely choose to slap the water ink to death with his palm.
Shui Ningyan was so angry that he secretly gritted his teeth at this moment. Shui Ningmo had what idea in her heart, she knew it clearly. This idiot wants to make a fool of himself in public, and he has nothing to do with her. But Shui Ningmo is a person from the General's Mansion, if he is embarrassed at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the entire General's Mansion will be disgraced.
Shui Ningyan was just about to open her mouth to stop it, but unfortunately Queen Yun Zixiao had already spoken out before her, "The second lady of the General's Mansion is very smart, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If the three talented women in the capital perform on the same stage, it is really rare. This palace is in charge of Miss Shui's second choice, and she agreed. ”
When Shui Ningmo heard this, he immediately rejoiced, "Thank you to the queen for making it happen." ”
After all, Queen Yun Zixiao is the mother of a country, although Huang Fuhao is dissatisfied, but because of the occasion, he has to save face for Yun Zixiao, so he did not say anything to stop it. At that moment, Jiang Xinlan, Murong Xue, and Shui Ningmo came out of their seats and walked onto the stage.
"I wonder if the two sisters are good at dancing?" Jiang Xinlan had a faint smile on her face, although her voice was gentle and sweet, it just made people feel a little arrogant.
The implication of Jiang Xinlan's words is that although you choose the best dance, I, Jiang Xinlan, will accompany you to the end.
Murong Xue replied immediately: "Miss Jiang was famous for a Moon Shadow Neon Dress Dance in the whole Dongli back then, why don't you let everyone present watch the Moon Shadow Neon Dance again today, I don't know what Miss Jiang thinks?" ”
"Miss Jiang, the little woman thinks that Miss Murong is right, Miss Jiang's dance was amazing back then, and the little girl will never forget it, so I implore Miss Jiang to dance another Moon Shadow Dress Dance." The water condensation ink immediately echoed.
Although Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo said politely, the tone of the two of them had an aggressive momentum. Jiang Xinlan's delicate face did not have the slightest displeasure, and the corners of her lips raised lightly: "Since the two younger sisters have proposed the Moon Shadow Neon Dress Dance, it is difficult to resist the enthusiasm, then I can only offer ugliness." ”
"Miss Jiang is too humble, and I ask Miss Jiang to give me advice." Murong Xue said unashamedly, the implication is that you have any ability to do it, and I Murong Xue didn't pay attention to it at all.
"It seems that Sister Murong is in the chest." Jiang Xinlan smiled, and a sneering look quickly flashed in the depths of her eyes.
"Miss Jiang has won the award." Although Murong Xue said this, she tilted her chin slightly, quite a bit of arrogance in her eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Xinlan only smiled faintly and said nothing more. Shui Ningmo next to her didn't say much, she didn't have much interest in reckless tongues, she just wanted to show her most beautiful side on this stage, and then Jiang Xinlan would be defeated, and she would be the first talented woman in Dongli Country in the future.
The three people on the stage had their own thoughts, and then the music gradually sounded like water. Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo immediately cheered up and danced to the music. Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo are very familiar with the music of the Moon Shadow Neon Dress Dance, both of them have danced more than 10,000 times in the past three years, and at this moment they are dancing with a full posture, and their skirts are flying, like fairies. Both of them are confident in themselves.
However, when the eyes of the two inadvertently glanced at the audience, their hearts jumped suddenly, and almost all the eyes of the audience were locked on Jiang Xinlan's body. What's going on?
Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo hurriedly turned their heads sideways to look at Jiang Xinlan, who was dancing, and both of them were dumbfounded. They have never seen the dance that Jiang Xinlan danced, but I have to say that the dance is graceful and beautiful. Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo were both panicked, and the dance steps under their feet were suddenly chaotic. For a long time, there was only one thought in his mind, which haunted the two of them. Is Jiang Xinlan's dance really the Moon Shadow Costume Dance? Why is it so different from what they saw three years ago? What's going on?
On the stage, Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo stood aside and looked at Jiang Xinlan who was dancing in a daze. I saw Jiang Xinlan's long sleeves dancing, countless delicate petals gently flying between heaven and earth, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. Then her skirt spun and rose like a blooming bud, spreading out in all directions.
In the rain of flowers, a woman in red who is as beautiful as a fairy, like a lonely rose under the moon, with her light and graceful, ethereal dance, wide sleeves open and close to cover, but also set off her beautiful posture. Everyone looked at her graceful figure in such a fascination that they almost forgot to breathe.
Jiang Xinlan's beautiful eyes were full of anticipation, as if with infinite magic power, which made everyone's hearts beat uncontrollably, and they all thought that she was looking at herself. The Moon Shadow Dance danced by Jiang Xinlan today is even more charming and enchanting than three years ago, like a fairy in the moon.
After the dance, it wasn't until the thunderous applause from the audience that Murong Xue and Shui Ningmo came back to their senses, and the two of them were full of shame and indignation, glaring at Jiang Xinlan through gritted teeth, eager to find a crack in the ground and quickly get in.
