Chapter 120: Unexpected Joy
Looking at the face similar to Mu Qing's eyebrows and eyes, he seriously provoked himself, Chu Nian lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not respond.
Xi Chu Yue Ling and Mu Qing are just cousins, but their eyebrows and eyes are so similar, and they are equally flamboyant, no matter what, Chu Nian can't have the slightest disgust towards Xi Chu Yue Ling.
Xi Chu Yue Ling thought that she didn't take herself to heart, and her eyes suddenly sank, and she snorted coldly, "Looking forward to the performance of the county lord." ”
An envoy on the side took out a small tambourine from his arms, as if he had expected this moment and prepared it in advance.
Xi Chu Yueling's soft waist leaned back, and the slender and delicate silhouette was vividly expressed at this moment.
Chu Nian stood still behind Xi Chu Yue Ling, gently stroked the flute in his hand, and moved cautiously and silently, as if he wanted to hide all his white clothes into the night.
The envoy beat the tambourine in a slow and fixed rhythm, and Xi Chu Yueling's snake-like arm moved in a strange posture, and the body that was originally lying down gradually propped up, this action looked very difficult, but it made Xi Chu Yue Ling perform elegantly and calmly.
I saw the tassel of the red dress on her arm swaying gently, and when she moved, the icy skin under the black veil loomed.
Chu Nian was still stroking the bamboo flute, motionless.
Seeing that Xi Chu Yue Ling was in the limelight, Chu Nian didn't have the slightest intention of competing for fame and fortune, the Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, even the hundred officials turned their heads to each other, and the smugness of a few envoys who watched the excitement was undisguised, and even the King of Huainan looked at Chu Nian inquiringly.
Xi Chu Yue Ling's dance is flamboyant, but accompanied by the crisp sound of drums, adding an ethereal aura, if she is a flower on the other side of the hell when she wears a red dress silently, then at this moment, she is a flower fairy dancing in the fairyland, a little less decadent and cold, and a little more friendly and smart.
And Chu Nianzhi is like a green bamboo standing proudly in the forest, even if the wind blows, it only messes up the ends of her hair.
Even Liu Qi and Shen Du secretly thought about it, they hadn't heard of the Wushuang County Lord being afraid of anyone, but she looked like she had broken away from the red dust and was as immobile as a mountain, but the Da Liang people present were inexplicably worried.
The unequaled county lord is unparalleled in the world in Daliang, is it possible that in front of the people of Western Chu, he is nothing?
They are very cold, are they just compared to Xi Chu?
Until Xichu Yueling's dance steps became more and more rapid, and her temperament changed rapidly, a smart and lovely flower fairy instantly turned into a blood-stained sword demon, her posture writhed more and more weirdly, but even every tip of the hair in the rotation had a momentum like a mountain and a sea.
The drum beat was hurried, and the envoys on the side clapped their hands along with the rhythm, simple but real, even the scattered high-fives seemed to have a killing atmosphere, obviously only Xichu Yueling danced alone, but everyone seemed to see the battlefield, thousands of troops and horses galloping past.
Gradually, the people of Da Liang were disheartened and no longer had any hope for Chu Nian.
Even the Queen Mother's gaze was completely cold.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the body of Xi Chu Yueling in the hall, but no one noticed the corner of the emperor's mouth that was inexplicably slightly raised, and the bamboo flute that Chu Nian slowly put on his mouth.
The high-fives of the envoys still did not stop, and Xi Chu Yueling's dance steps became more and more rapid, and every movement was sonorous and powerful, and no one noticed when the flute was added.
The dance steps have the momentum of thousands of troops, but the flute sound is just the opposite.
Melodious and pathetic......
At this moment, the people present seemed to have a murderous battlefield in front of their eyes, which was originally magnificent, but because of the addition of the flute, there was a little more inexplicable suffering.
If what Xi Chu Yue Ling let people see is the soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy, then what Chu Nian lets people see is the blood-stained bodies that fell one after another......
They are someone's son, someone's husband, someone's father, and they carry the responsibility of the country on their shoulders, but they also carry one family after another connected by blood......
At the same time as the flute sounded, Xi Chu Yueling, who was dancing on one side, raised his willow eyebrows without a trace, and Chu Nian ...... It is not up to her cousin to praise her in her heart as such a god, and she can find this trace of breath that is not easy for ordinary people to detect in her war dances that are not easy to score with melodious flutes, if she is not the unequaled county lord of Da Liang, she is worthy of being her friend of the future empress of Xichu.
It's a pity.
After the dance, Xi Chu Yueling temporarily slowed down the dance steps of the war dance, and with Chu Nian's mournful flute, she behaved like an ordinary woman at this moment. She lay on the battlefield, holding the cooler body of her newlywed husband Jun, grinding her ears and temples, and she was sad in the depths of her feelings......
The high-fives slowed down until they were gone, and the ministers turned to low whimpering, their voices rising and falling, and the ensemble played the unfinished silent fire.
At this time, another flute sound was inserted, and the sound of the flute was a little abrupt, reflecting Chu Nian's mournful and melodious flute sound, which was actually dyed with a somewhat indifferent color.
An inky figure slowly entered, an unknown light shining in the starry eyes.
Chu Nian seemed to be silent in the sound of his flute and did not turn his eyes, but when the sound of this flute joined, the dance steps became slower and slower, like a woman who was martyred because her husband died on the battlefield, and her every move was full of dissatisfaction with this world.
She seemed to see everything, but as if she had never wanted to pass, she lifted the sword that was inserted in her husband's chest and stabbed it into her chest.
She caressed her husband's stiff face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with incomparable sadness.
Xichu Yueling's figure was fixed on the action of hugging himself, and the sound of the flute gradually stopped, ending with the sound of the flute, and the curtain came to an end.
The envoys of Western Chu applauded one after another, and at this moment, because of Chu Nian's interpretation, they had a trace of admiration for this heterosexual county lord of Da Liang.
But the courtiers of Da Liang enjoyed this visual feast but were silent, and they were looking at the young man with a flute in his hand at the door of the main hall in a daze.
The young jade tree is in the wind, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, the bridge of the nose is as high as a knife, the black hair is different from the messy in the past, neatly bundled, and a white jade stone in the hair is shining under the indifferent moonlight.
He was dressed in a neat ink-colored robe, and a jade pendant of the same style as Chu Nian's waist was pinned to his waist.
The candle flame flickered inexplicably, as if with an unknown crisis, his robe fluttered slightly with the wind passing through the hall, and he was clearly dressed in solemn black, but he was wearing an inexplicable condescending momentum.
At this moment, the two people, one black and one white, were silently looking at each other, and no one could see what was contained in the eyes of these two people.
Xi Chu Yue Ling faintly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, slowly got up, turned her eyes, and saw the handsome man who seemed to be descended from the gods, and suddenly her face was stunned, and after a while, she came back to her senses and turned her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, who also looked stunned.
"Mother?"
Xu is Ming Xiu's shock to the Queen Mother was too exciting, Xi Chu Yueling shouted several times, but the Queen Mother couldn't turn back, until the only emperor on the side who stayed out of the matter and took a glass of wine indifferently said softly: "Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother came back to her senses, "Ming Xiu, what's going on?" ”
At this moment, the Chinese military officials also wanted to know what was going on.
Isn't Prince Mingxiu a fool with a mind that is only eight years old? How can you play with others at this moment? Even a...... Where is the shadow of half a stupidity in those cold eyes!
Ming Xiu didn't speak, his eyes still fell on Chu Nian's face with anger.
At this time, the emperor put down the wine cup in his hand, and for the first time since ascending the throne, he looked at everyone present with a majestic face.
"Queen Mother, it was the medicine that I personally went to ask for from the head of Zhuqing Dao, and I gave it to Ming Xiu in the afternoon, I didn't expect him to wake up so soon, I felt very surprised, Queen Mother, your grandson is healthy, aren't you happy?"
The first person to react was King Huainan, who stared at Ming Xiu and sneered, before turning his eyes to look at the Queen Mother who was heading up, and cooperating with the emperor's pun, "The Queen Mother does not look very happy, but according to this king, it must be that the Queen Mother loved Ming Xiu too much before and had a lot of contact, so she was too stupid." ”
In the end, the Ming family, if they want the throne, or should they first drive away the people with foreign surnames who also covet the throne, but Ming Xiu is a kid...... It's quite able to hide, he has sent so many eyeliners into the palace over the years, and none of them have caught this kid's fox tail.
But what's the use of being smart.
When King Huainan saw Ming Xiu's affectionate eyes when he looked at Chu Nian, he sneered again, no matter how smart he was, isn't he a hero after all?
Since Ming Xiu chose to announce the news that he was not a fool at this time, he was afraid that he had already prepared for it, and he would not be able to do anything to this bastard boy in a short period of time.
Hmph, the Wushuang County Lord also expressed loyalty to him the day before yesterday, and now it seems that it is certainly true that she hates the Wang family and the Queen Mother, but as for loyalty, it is difficult to say!
King Huainan actually had a little disappointment in his heart, but he quickly saw it, and now they are in a hurry to deal with the Huainan Palace, compared to the King of Huainan, who has no threat to them for the time being, it is better to first remove the two tumors of the imperial court, the Queen Mother and the Wang family, but I don't know if his imperial brother will be willing to give up.
He turned his eyes to look at the emperor who suddenly became majestic, and sneered in his heart.
If the imperial brother minds that his son kills his own mother, he doesn't mind secretly helping Ming Xiu.
At this moment, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu naturally didn't know that the King of Huainan had made so many wishful thinking in a short period of time, Ming Xiu just looked at Chu Nian without blinking, and between the two of them, there was a trace of innocence that only she could see.
"I didn't mean it, I heard that your flute was so good, I couldn't help but blow the flute and play with you, I blame this flute for not listening to the call, don't blame me."
If it weren't for the civil and military officials watching, Chu Nian felt that he would definitely go berserk, and then pry open Ming Xiu's head to see what kind of structure was inside.
The Queen Mother, Wang Zixuan, and King Huainan all stared at him with fierce eyes, now it's okay, he was exposed in advance, and it is estimated that he is already a thorn in the side of everyone present!
Can...... But she wasn't ready for anything, what to do to protect him?
Not to mention King Huainan, even if the Queen Mother casually sent a few personal guards out to kill him, with her kung fu and the secret guards that he had cultivated with great difficulty, could she resist this embattled?
Chu Nian only felt sour in his eyes, he was so anxious to put himself in the center of the jackal, tiger and leopard?
At this moment, the Queen Mother's face was cloudy, and now, she can also see that she has been bluffed for fifteen years!
This Ming Xiu is really powerful, he can pretend to be stupid under her nose for fifteen years? Is she old and can't tell right from wrong, or is he Ming Xiu's acting skills too good and deceived everyone?
What does the emperor mean?
He obviously knew the truth early on, and he took his wife and children to endure humiliation and burden under the nose of his biological mother for fifteen years?
The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor sideways, and at this moment he looked at the ministers present indifferently, and finally had a trace of the appearance of an emperor. Fifteen years...... After all, she didn't know this son too well.
Now that Ming Xiu dares to jump out, it seems that he has been dormant long enough and has full wings? Now, how can the full-fledged Ming Xiu, she and the Wang family handle it?
The old hand holding the wine cup gradually tightened, and it seemed that this Ming Xiu could not be kept.
At this moment, Xichu Yue Ling's heart is also mixed, according to legend, the stupid Da Liang Prince is such a handsome man? Besides, how can the appearance of the jade tree in the wind be half stupid?
Today, she can't witness this good show in vain, she has to step up to report the matter to the mother.
The fertile land on the border of Daliang may be able to take advantage of this opportunity......
