But he didn't want to, Chu Nian looked at the county lord of Wuchen, nodded lightly, and said with a light smile: "Listen to what the county lord says." ”

The Wuchen County Lord snorted coldly, turned to look at Ming Qiao and Ming Yue, "Do the two princesses have any objections?" ”

Mingqiao and Mingyue are princesses in the palace, and there are few people who talk to them so condescendingly, and the two of them immediately glanced at the county lord of Wuchen angrily, but because Chu Nian didn't say anything, they couldn't refute Chu Nian's face, but Mingqiao still said a little angrily: "Since the county lord of Wuchen has such a Yaxing, I hope that the county lord will not lose the face of the king of Wuchen." ”

After that, she straightened her skirt and sat down peacefully, while Mingyue, who was dressed in black on the side, also lifted the long flute in her hand, and looked at the county lord of Wuchen for a long time.

Seeing that his daughter offended the two princesses as soon as he came up, King Wuchen seemed to have a headache, but he only laughed helplessly, even though he looked at his daughter dotingly, his daughter has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, he really didn't believe that his daughter would lose face for himself.

At this point, everyone was ready to watch the wonderful performances of Chu Nian and the Wuchen County Lord, but Chu Nian shouted and stopped: "Wait." ”

The Wuchen County Lord looked at Chu Nian, "Isn't the Wushuang County Lord afraid?" ”

There was a burst of discussion among the officials' families in the hall, some of them were worried, some were gloating, and some were even looking forward to Chu Nian's ugliness.

"Can it work? Didn't you say that the unequaled county lord was not good at dancing? ”

"I think it must be not, the unequaled county lord is just the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenning, a county lord of the opposite sex, how can he compare to the orthodox Wuchen county lord?"

"Maybe, what kind of tricks does the Wushuang County Lord have?"

"You see that she is stopping now, isn't she afraid?"

……

The sound of discussion reached the ears of several people present, and even Mingqiao and Mingyue were pale, but Chu Nian looked at the inexplicably proud Wuchen County Lord calmly: "County Lord, don't worry, I'll go down and get an object first, is it feasible?" ”

This can be regarded as her temporary idea, since it is a dance competition, she always has to show some housekeeping skills.

At this moment, when the county lord of Wuchen heard the discussion of those family members, he also felt that Chu Nian was weak-hearted, so he nodded proudly: "You go, I'll wait for you." ”

Chu Nian nodded and retreated, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

The Empress Dowager at the top looked at Chu Nian's back thoughtfully, but several concubines on the side gathered.

Concubine Chen glanced at Concubine Wu, and saw Concubine Wu come forward: "Sister Concubine Chen, do you think that the peerless county lord may have won the Wuchen county lord?" ”

Seeing this, Concubine Chen snorted coldly: "Not to mention that she is not as good as the Wuchen County Lord, the Wuchen County Lord is a royal family, just from this point, she has already lost a small county lord with a different surname." ”

Concubine Wu glanced at the county lord of Wuchen thoughtfully, then turned her eyes and flattered: "What Sister Concubine Chen said is that the concubine also thinks so. ”

Concubine Chen's face became more and more proud.

At this time, Concubine Liang took advantage of the chaos to quietly approach Concubine Ling, at this moment Concubine Ling was drinking tea indifferently, and the wine had been withdrawn by her personal palace maid, obviously, if it was not for the occasion, she still did not want to drink.

Seeing Concubine Liang coming over, Concubine Ling turned to look at her: "If you say thank you, my sister doesn't need to say it." ”

Concubine Liang looked a little embarrassed, she raised her glass with Concubine Ling and said, "It's one thing for my sister to accept it or not, but my sister did remind my sister today, and my sister still has to say thank you." ”

After that, she didn't care about Concubine Ling's reaction, drank all the wine in the cup, and saw Concubine Ling looking at her fixedly, and after a while, Concubine Ling spoke: "I have heard Mingqiao say about you and Princess Mingyue, about the unequaled county lord......"

Concubine Liang's hands tightened: "I know the person of the unequaled county lord, but she did promise to help me." ”

Concubine Ling nodded, and looked thoughtfully at the door of the hall, "Since Mingqiao begged me, I will naturally help you, just persuade my sister to protect yourself and Mingyue in this deep palace, and don't be too greedy." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded in response, knowing that it was because of Chu Nian and Mingqiao that she would help to intercede, and her gratitude to Mingqiao and Chu Nian became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, she was also a little relieved that her daughter had grown up from a young man, but at the last critical moment, she made a more correct choice than her.

After talking to Concubine Ling, Concubine Liang sat back in her original position, and at this time, she saw the shadow slowly entering from the door of the main hall.

Today she was wearing a long red skirt with a corset, and at this moment there was a red waist drum pinned to her waist, as she walked, the waist drum was swaying from side to side, and the originally beautiful figure looked a little funny at this moment.

Concubine Liang and Concubine Ling glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. Concubine Liang understands Chu Nian as a person, although she hasn't met much, it can be seen from what Chu Nian has done in the past two years that Chu Nian is definitely not a stupid person, but this funny waist drum, isn't it a snake to add to it?

Seeing the waist drum on Chu Nian's waist, the county lord of Wuchen also smiled contemptuously, but saw Chu Nian holding the waist drum and still bowing down in the direction of the queen mother.

"The courtiers are late, so the emperor and the queen mother have been waiting for a long time."

At this moment, the Queen Mother's eyes also flashed with a little curiosity, she couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Chu Nian's gourd, but she also wanted to know very much, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, let's show your performance to the mourning family." ”

Chu Nian bowed slightly, turned around and glanced at the two Ming sisters, the two of them suddenly understood, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the Wuchen County Lord, so they retracted their gaze and posed to play their respective instruments.

Seeing that the two were ready, Chu Nian made a gesture of invitation to the Wuchen County Lord, smiled slightly, and stood beside the Wuchen County Lord, the Wuchen County Lord saw Chu Nian's calm and unhurried appearance, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and finally his gaze fell on the waist drum on Chu Nian's waist, and he withdrew his gaze with suspicion.

When the four of them were ready, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and at this moment, the first sound to sound was the waist drum on Chu Nian's waist.

Stepping on the drum beat of the waist drum, Chu Nian stomped on his feet, and everyone saw a pair of naked slender jade feet, and suddenly exclaimed.

With the sound of Chu Nian's drums, there seemed to be thousands of troops and horses attacking in the hall, at this time, the sound of the pipa was added in time, it was obviously a melodious pipa, but it seemed to be an accompaniment to the drums, with the drums of Chu Nian's hands, the jade fingers of Ming Qiao's hands were also tightened, and the sound of the pipa also inexplicably boosted a bit of momentum.

At this stall, the sound of the flute is mixed into these two streams of music, the sound of the flute is melodious and euphemistic, pathetic and long, but there is no sense of disobedience with this extremely imposing drum, everyone seems to see thousands of troops and horses in the hall, but the picture turns, a woman and a soldier in armor say goodbye.

The palace maid on the side slowly poured into the hall at this time, and the Wuchen county lord in it muttered for a while, and also danced to Chu Nian's drumbeat, today she seemed to have known that she would have such a secret competition with Chu Nian, a body of pink powder in black, white and red looks particularly abrupt and conspicuous, but this tender powder is so soft that people can't find fault with it, if Chu Nian is the woman who flies across the battlefield, then the Wuchen county lord is the wife who is waiting for her husband to return at home, and her every move is accompanied by the peach blossom petals that fall to the ground, with an inexplicable poignant meaning.

The music was like a sword forced into everyone's ears, and the dance of the two men was like a fairy descending from the earth, so that no one could take their eyes off it.

Chu Nian stopped dancing when the drum beats, and the officials on the side occasionally clapped and applauded because of her difficult movements.

And the princes are eyes on the lord of Wuchen, nodding with satisfaction from time to time, the king of Wuchen occasionally exchanged ears with the people around him, and then looked at his daughter, is a smile of relief.

Thousands of troops and horses galloped in the main hall, and the picture in front of everyone's eyes seemed to have entered a climax, and some people were immersed in this increasingly imposing drum beat and could not retreat.

At this time, the drum beat gradually subsided, and everyone saw that Chu Nian's figure gradually bent down, and the hand beating the waist drum on his waist gradually slowed down, and the one who dominated the whole music became the pipa, and occasionally there was a melodious singing, and everyone was amazed that this princess who had always been very strange had such a shocking singing voice, and when they saw Chu Nian on the side also opened his mouth, his voice was low.

The voices of the two women, one high and one low, merged into one strand, as if telling some sad story.

Just as everyone was in mourning, the singing stopped, and the sound of the pipa gradually became weaker, but it did not stop, mixed with the beat of the drums, and the sound of the flute gradually sounded.

Mingyue had no expression on her face, but a bamboo flute was matched with a robe as inky as the night, and the little face that only reflected it became more and more pale, and everyone could only hear the mournful voice, as if the death of a soldier caused a woman waiting for her husband to return home to cry silently.

And the Wuchen County Lord is also getting softer and softer at the moment, her steps are gradually slowing down, with dance steps, her face shows a burst of pathos, obviously she is still a female doll who has not reached the time, but at this moment she looks like a woman who has just lost her beloved because of the war, which makes people can't help but feel distressed.

At this time, the drum beat was heavy, Chu Nian danced her body, the red dress swayed with her movements, revealing a pair of beautiful jade feet, and the drum beat was neither light nor heavy, but it hit the hearts of everyone present.

The dance steps of the lord of Wuchen did not slow down, but rotated more rapidly, and under the falling peach blossom petals, the tender pink skirt was beautiful.

At this time, the sound of the pipa gradually stopped, and the sound of the flute pulled a long tail note, trembling into everyone's ears, and finally only the drum beat was left and then beaten, Chu Nian's posture and the Wuchen County Lord cooperated together, and the two of them stepped on Chu Nian's drum beat every time.

Ming Xiu on the side looked at the red figure that was beating in the center of the hall like an elf, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Liu Qi picked up a glass of wine, drank all the wine in the cup, and looked at the red figure intently, with a sad look in his eyes.

Shen Dui's eyes were slightly downcast, and when he looked at Chu Nian, his eyes seemed to be mixed with knives.

The drum beat gradually slowed down, and the dancing posture of the two people in the field gradually slowed down, until the drum stopped, Chu Nian and the Wuchen County Lord's arms were intertwined, like a pair of lovers who did not want to separate, and both of them seemed to have tears in their eyes, so that everyone present couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and King Wuchen took the lead in applauding and said loudly: "Good! ”

With the applause of King Wuchen, the others also seemed to have just come back to their senses, and suddenly there was a burst of applause in the hall.
