Chapter 44: Tokyo! Tokyo! (b)
"It's not a dream!"
Qin Beiyang stared at a pair of eyes and saw tears in the corners of Fangzi's eyes, who was slightly drunk.
At this time, the dance music in the banquet hall was replaced by Brahms's Hungarian waltz, and with the spicy and cheerful dance steps, Fangzi put his arms around Qin Beiyang's shoulders, held his left hand with his right hand, and put his right hand on his waist.
"Dance with me!"
She leaned in Qin Beiyang's ear and said a standard Beijing film.
It was embarrassing, but he couldn't resist, and every couple on the dance floor was dancing. He was dressed in a modest outfit that looked nondescript among the many tuxedos and dresses. He couldn't dance, so he could only pretend to be indiscriminate, and stepped on Fangzi's feet one after another. She just called a few times, walked indiscriminately, and led Qin Beiyang to the center of the ball. This Brahms dance music is quite fast-paced, which makes people more and more excited after drinking, and he almost gets dizzy.
On the dance floor of Yinggeyan Dance, Qin Beiyang was also intoxicated by Fangzi, and when he turned around, he saw the host of today's banquet.
She is the light.
Sixteen-year-old Hikaru Saga wore a snow-white evening gown, revealing her smooth neck and chest for the first time, and wearing a Cartier diamond necklace. Her hair was made in various curly shapes, imitating the princesses of European high society. After another year and a half, she is already a big girl, her breasts have gradually developed, but her face is still childish. She is like a white swan, landing on a pond where countless birds display their feathers, wearing a splendid crown on her head.
The man who danced with her hand in hand was a thin, young man in a military uniform, and a twenty-two-year-old Crown Prince of the Japanese Empire, Hirohito.
The reigning Taisho Emperor is frail and suffering from severe mental illness, and the crown prince became regent two years ago, and everyone knows that he is about to ascend to the throne. The crown prince, who is under one person and above ten thousand, usually does not come to this kind of birthday party. However, Marquis Saga's family is related to Emperor Meiji by marriage, and in terms of generation, Hikaru Saga, a distant cousin of the crown prince, has a tradition of consanguineous marriage, and she even meets the selection criteria for the crown princess.
Although dancing with the future emperor, Saga-Hikaru did not have much joy, but was covered with cold sweat on his forehead as if he were facing a great enemy.
Her gaze swept over Crown Prince Hirohito's shoulder, and it happened to hit the back of Qin Beiyang's head across Yoshiko.
In an instant, Hikaru Saga's dance steps were chaotic, and he happened to step on the toes of Crown Prince Hirohito. The foot was so heavy that the crown prince couldn't help but scream, and the whole dance floor was silent. The band also stopped playing, and the attendant military attachés immediately rushed up to prevent any accident to the crown prince.
According to court etiquette, Hikaru Saga should immediately apologize to the crown prince and resume the dance. But she completely left Crown Prince Hirohito aside, and looked directly into Qin Beiyang's eyes.
Qin Beiyang let go of his hand, and the drunken Fangzi fell to the ground, screaming again.
"Ernie sauce!"
When Guang walked up to Qin Beiyang, he wanted to quietly come in to give a birthday gift, but he didn't expect to become the focus of the entire ball.
Crown Prince Hirohito came over and said, "Princess Hikari, is this your friend?" ”
"Well, he's my brother."
The crown prince bowed slightly to Qin Beiyang and said politely: "Hello, I'm Hirohito, please take care of me." ”
"Hello, I'm ...... Qin Beiyang. ”
At the end of the ball, the Marquis of Saga was walking over, and Qin Beiyang could no longer hide his identity, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Are you Chinese?"
Qin Beiyang was a head taller than the crown prince, puffed up his chest and looked down: "I am Chinese." ”
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, can I dance with him?"
Guang walked to Qin Beiyang's side, and asked Fangzi next to him as well.
"Of course!"
Crown Prince Hirohito was not unhappy, but his feet hurt a lot, and he limped away by the guards. Drunk Fangzi, but I don't know where to hide? Perhaps, her wine has woken up. Whoever she really is? Qin Beiyang can be sure that tonight, she is not here to assassinate the crown prince, otherwise she will never get drunk.
So, the orchestra restarted the piece, but replaced it with Johann Strauss Jr.'s "The Blue Danube".
Guang took the initiative to hold Qin Beiyang's hand, let him hold his little waist, and dance to the music. Although Qin Beiyang's steps are so clumsy, like the rhythm of moving bricks on the construction site, Guang seems to have come to the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, like Princess Sisi meeting Emperor Franz.
They were spinning and advancing in the waves of the Danube, and just the female number one of today's banquet, everyone made way for Qin Beiyang, who was stumbling. The Marquis of Saga was about to stop his daughter's ridiculous behavior, but Haneda Taiki stopped him and toasted him with a glass of champagne: "Let the princess be happy for a while." ”
It's a pity that happiness is always so short-lived, and "The Blue Danube" is only halfway through the jump, and the chandelier above the head of the Grand Ballroom begins to flicker, flickering on and off, as if possessed by a ghost, causing the guests to panic and the girls to scream. The band continued to play, but the waltz had to be suspended.
In the flickering lights and chaos, Sagaguang evaded his father's pursuit, pulled Qin Beiyang to hide in the dark corner of the banquet hall, leaned his head on his shoulder and said, "Brother, are you here specifically for my birthday party?" ”
"No...... Qin Beiyang still has zero emotional intelligence, and he doesn't know how to please girls, "I have an important thing to do in Tokyo tomorrow, but I have to come to the birthday party." ”
The last sentence made Mitsuru Saga smile and beat his chest with his small fist.
Qin Beiyang remembered his birthday gift, and took out the Italian soap box from the craftsman's pocket, he knew the size of the Alpine Jungfrau vanilla soap that Hikari liked to use the most. Without the scent of this soap, it would be impossible for him and Jiuse to trace down the ancient tomb in the western suburbs of Shanghai and rescue Guang from Ah Hai.
"Brother, you know me too well!"
In fact, Qin Beiyang secretly thought that what he didn't know the most was a girl's heart.
He snapped his fingers again, and Jiuse, who was in the next room, ran over with a Tang knife disguised as a long-handled umbrella.
"Nine colors! Cute! ”
Just holding the head of the town's tomb beast, Jiu Se poses a well-behaved appearance, a trick used by smart pets, and uses cuteness to help the owner pick up girls.
Marquis Saga finally found his daughter, and just as he was about to have a seizure, another scream rang out in the banquet hall. It turned out that many rats had sprung up from the ground, and they were so dense that they scurried across the floor, so frightened that the ladies fell down one after another, and someone sat down and crushed two rats to death. And the pet dogs next door have rushed out one after another, staging a good show of dogs taking mice. The Marquis had to go back to maintain order, and the scene was a mess.
Hikari said blankly: "Our family has never had a rat, what's wrong tonight?" ”
After that, Jiu Se also began to feel wrong, several spirit stones in its body emitted heat, and the glass-colored eyes radiated essence, spreading its four legs and running out of the banquet hall to the large lawn of the Marquis's Mansion.
Qin Beiyang chased after the light, only to see a strange white light lit up underground, and a mist gradually rose up. There was a pool of water in the lawn, but it was constantly gushing upward, almost turning into a fountain. Looking back at the entire mansion, the lights of the entire building were jumping and flickering, and the housekeeper and electrician were busy repairing it, but they couldn't find the source of the problem.
"Wells are surging, ground light is leaking, electromagnetic anomalies are abnormal, and animals are fleeing...... And the most agile tomb beasts! Qin Beiyang remembered a terrible tomorrow, "A big earthquake? ”
