Chapter 3 Performances
Dongfang is the most powerful country in the four countries, the king of Dongfang Luoyu, the legend is extraordinary, Wen Taowu Luoqin and chess calligraphy and painting are proficient. Even Lan Zijin, who has been practicing in the Holy Mountain for a long time, has heard of his reputation as a heroic and virtuous person.
Lan Zijin was not interested in this kind of banquet of the nature of entertainment, so he said to Nangong Yu: "Your Highness, the concubine is not good at drinking, and I want to go to the imperial garden first." "It's okay, let Mu Cheng accompany you." At Nangong Yu's signal, his personal guard Mu Cheng followed Lan Zijin to the Imperial Garden.
This Nangong City is really beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is so beautiful.
The trees in the depths of the garden were abundant, and Lan Zijin thought that maybe there would be some strange flowers and rare medicinal herbs, so he walked in. I happened to see a man and a woman in the depths of the bushes, doing things that were unacceptable, and their clothes were scattered in the grass.
Who is so bold in broad daylight, and in the royal palace? Although Lan Zijin has no interest in this Living Spring Palace, he wants to see who this is, maybe he can still grasp some evidence of the people in the palace, grab some pigtails, and maybe use it in the future. Thinking so, Lan Zijin cautiously walked over there, the footsteps were not loud, and they were even more muffled by the wheezing sound of the man and woman. As soon as he walked in, he was shouted by the person behind him: "The crown princess Niangniang!" Lan Zijin then remembered this guard Mu Cheng who had no sense of existence.
This call provoked Lan Zijin to be discovered by the pair of men and women, the woman screamed and put on her clothes and ran away, but the man picked up his clothes unhurriedly and walked over to Lan Zijin. I saw Mu Cheng rubbing his hands and bowing his head slightly to the man and said, "I don't know that the prince is here, please forgive me." ”
Rajah? Who is it? Just when Lan Zijin was surprised, Mu Cheng explained: "Crown Princess Niangniang, this is the prince of Dongfang Country, Dongfang Luoqi. ”
"Is this the newlywed concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Dongfang Luoqi's voice came from his ears, gentle and beautiful. At this time, Lan Zijin was at a loss, and hurriedly learned from Mu Cheng's appearance and clenched his fists with both hands, lowered his head and said, "Lord Wang, I'm sorry." ”
Saying that, Dongfang Luo Qi had already put on his clothes. Lan Zijin was in a very embarrassed mood at this time, did this damn Mu Cheng mean to embarrass her?
"The crown princess doesn't have to care, there are so many women in this Nangong, this king can't help but be abrupt. Please also ask the crown princess not to blame. At this time, Dongfang Luoqi had already put on his clothes, and Lan Zijin raised his head to look at the prince. This prince is dressed in a green robe, the clothes are not as gorgeous as other royal families, only a jade pendant is placed on the waist, two strands of green silk are left on the sideburns, and he looks very romantic, tall and tall, and his appearance is even more beautiful than that of a woman, a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be watery, his complexion is fair, the bridge of his nose is high, and his two pink lips seem to be a little red and swollen, showing his affection.
The prince laughed, huh...... Hehe, that, I still have to go to the dinner party, and the concubine will say goodbye first. Lan Zijin hurriedly walked towards the banquet hall, and Mu Cheng behind him also hurriedly followed.
Trotting all the way, Lan Zijin came to the banquet building, the singing and dancing in the hall was not lively, the dancers of the Nangong Kingdom danced enchantingly, and the sound of silk and bamboo was even more beautiful. Lan Zijin walked to Nangong Yu and sat down quietly, Nangong Yu was busy drinking with everyone, but he didn't have time to pay attention to her. Lan Zijin drank wine and watched the singing and dancing, very comfortable.
After a while, Dongfang Luo Qi also returned to the banquet. also raised the wine glass towards Lan Zijin, signaling to Lan Zijin to toast, Lan Zijin also picked up the wine glass and drank it dry. I thought to myself, it's not me who is at fault anyway. He didn't look at him, but at the dance floor.
Dongfang Luoqi's movements attracted the attention of Dongfang Luoyu not far away, and Nangong Yu also signaled for the dancers and the silk music team to step down. turned to Dongfang Luoyu and introduced: "Dongfang Jun, this is my new wife, the daughter of Lan Yi, the prime minister of the Northern Underworld, Lan Zijin. After hearing this, Lan Zijin got up and saluted everyone, a polite smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his head slightly and said: "Concubine Lan Zijin, I have seen Dongfang Jun and the envoys of Dongfang Kingdom. ”
"I have heard for a long time that Lan Zijin, the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Northern Underworld, has an extraordinary appearance, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." It was Dongfang Luoqi who spoke, Lan Zijin lowered his head and pursed his lips, but he secretly despised it in his heart, and he had heard it for a long time? I have been practicing on the mountain since I was five years old, where did you go to hear that I am extraordinary, this official tone is very good. "The prince has won the prize." After saying this, Lan Zijin sat down by himself.
Dongfang Luo Qi raised the corners of his mouth and showed an evil smile, and then said righteously: "I heard that the crown princess is not only beautiful in appearance, but also proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at singing and dancing. ”
"It's so good, this princess is performing, and the widow wants to see it." After listening to Dongfang Luoyu, Nangong Yu turned her head to look at Lan Zijin, Lan Zijin's face was full of uneasiness, she knew that this Dongfang Luoqi was deliberate, and she didn't know what else to do, so she leaned closer to Nangong Yu and whispered, "I won't." ”
After hearing this, Nangong Yu stood up and said to everyone: "The crown princess has traveled a long way from the North Palace, and she just came to the South Palace yesterday, and she is a little unwell, why don't you use this palace to cheer up the sword dance of Dongfang Jun and the envoys?" ”
"Even so, it is inconvenient for us to be reluctant, and it is also a lifetime of luck to be able to witness the sword dance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with our own eyes." Dongfang Luoyu said.
Nangong Yu did not hesitate, took the saber from Mu Cheng's hand and walked to the center of the dance floor in the banquet hall, dancing the sword to the sound of the piano. The sword light flashed on Lan Zijin's face, and Lan Zijin looked at Nangong Yu's heroic posture of dancing the sword, and his heart stirred up a ripple.
This is her Lan Zijin man, for her deigned to dance the sword in front of everyone, only to see him holding the sword in one hand sometimes soaring into the air, sometimes jumping, sometimes as light and tactful as drunk, the sword posture is beautiful, and the jade tree is in the wind.
She didn't know that this was just a fake appearance made by Nangong Yu to show the love between the two of them.
After the sword dance, the applause and applause from everyone were endless.
"Haha, I am fortunate to be able to watch the sword dance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, which is really a feast for the eyes of the widow."
Dongfang Luoyu applauded and admired.
"Dongfang Jun has won the award." Nangong Yu said modestly, then handed the sword to Mu Cheng, returned to the banquet, and raised his hand to signal for the dancing girl to continue the dance.
The crowd continued to talk and laugh. After Nangong Yu sat down, Lan Zijin looked at him stupidly, picked up his wine glass, and said softly: "Thank you for the prince's relief, and the concubine will give you a glass." Nangong Yu also picked up the wine, touched the glass with it, and raised his head to drink. After drinking, Nangong Yu found that Lan Zijin was still looking at him, met Lan Zijin's fiery eyes, and said, "Concubine? What's wrong? Lan Zijin smiled hesitantly: "It's nothing." ”
In fact, Lan Zijin had a small wave in his heart, although he didn't know Nangong Yu now, and he couldn't talk about liking the word, but it seemed that it was not bad to live with such a man. But Nangong praised him as the crown prince, and he would inherit the throne in the future, so he would inevitably have three wives and four concubines in the future, thinking of this, Lan Zijin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, and poured a few glasses of wine into his stomach one after another.
I don't know how long the banquet lasted, and the singing and dancing were very boring to watch, and these dancing girls seemed to be tireless, round after round, repeatedly on stage, without any new ideas. The surrounding princes and ministers didn't know what they were talking about, and she didn't care. I drank too much wine and didn't have a good rest yesterday, and now I am a little sleepy. Resisting the desire to yawn, his immature and youthful peerless face looked tired.
"Your Highness, the concubine wants to go out for a walk and breathe through the wind. I'll be back in a moment. Lan Zijin turned his head and said to Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu nodded, and waved his hand to signal Mu Cheng to follow.
Lan Zijin thought that this Mu Cheng old pestle was too uncomfortable to follow the wood by his side, so he said to Nangong Yu, who was in a hurry: "The concubine wants to walk alone, please rest assured." ”
"Okay then." Nangong Yu agreed, seeing Lan Zijin go out, he glanced at Mu Cheng.
