Chapter 182 Birthday greetings
As we all know, the eldest lady of the princess's mansion is nothing but beauty, and at this time, Dong Zixuan's invitation is obviously deliberately embarrassing, wanting to make Ye Wanruo ugly.
Many of the ladies of the boudoir of the family mansion also cast mocking glances, and everyone in Kyoto City knew that Yu Chi Jingyao's request for marriage was rejected by this useless eldest lady.
While the young ladies sighed that Yu Chi Jingyao had no beads, they were also secretly ignoring Ye Wanruo's ignorance.
At this time, Dong Zixuan took the opportunity to attack Ye Wanruo, and all the ladies were also watching a play, waiting for Ye Wanruo to make a fool of herself, and was disgusted and disgusted by Yu Chi Jingyao.
Who knew that Ye Wanruo didn't realize it, stood up with the support of Yingxiang, and corrected with a light smile: "The princess is really polite, according to her age, Wanruo has not yet performed the gift; According to her identity, the princess also said that Wanruo is just an ordinary person, so this sister, Wanruo will not dare to respond to it no matter what! ”
At this time, Ye Wanruo smiled at the corner of her mouth, but the rebuttal words that came out made Dong Zixuan's face red.
Dong Zixuan never thought that in front of everyone's eyes, Ye Wanruo dared to say such rude words, but her attitude was humble, and there were facts between the lines, so that Dong Zixuan could not use the topic to play.
"Is the beautiful sister that Princess Zixuan said Wanruo? My niece? ”
Seeing that Ye Wanruo was speechless in a few words, Emperor Nanqin was suddenly in a good mood and asked knowingly.
Hearing Emperor Nanqin speak, Dong Zixuan thought of what was going to happen next, her eyes glanced past Ye Wanruo with sarcasm, the corners of her mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, and she turned to bow to Emperor Nanqin and saluted: "If you go back to the emperor, it is exactly!" ”
"Wanruo girl, are you willing to invite Princess Zixuan?"
Emperor Nanqin turned to look at Ye Wanruo and asked slowly, his tone revealing love and doting.
The tone of this inquiry clearly showed that even if Ye Wanruo refused, Emperor Nanqin would not be angry about it.
Even in the face of Dong Zixuan's provocative look, I'm afraid Ye Wanruo, who doesn't have a skill, has no choice, right?
Just when everyone was waiting for Ye Wanruo to compromise, they saw Ye Wanruo slowly walk out of her seat, walk to the middle of the dance floor, bow down towards Emperor Nanqin, and say softly: "Wanruo pays tribute to Uncle Wanruo's birthday, and wishes Uncle Immortal Happiness and Eternal Happiness, Longevity and Tianqi; I wish the Southern Qin country prosperity, the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the country prosperity and strength. ”
"Good! It's still the most graceful girl! Come, for the sake of the people who Wanruo said live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and strong, we monarchs and ministers raise a glass and drink this glass of wine together! ”
Emperor Nanqin was said by Ye Wanruo to be high-spirited, raised the golden foot bottle, and raised it towards the ministers standing on the lower side, and the ministers also got up one after another, and said in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
I only heard that Emperor Nanqin was very fond of Ye Wanruo's niece, but when I saw it today, it surprised Dong Zixuan.
Until the ministers sat down, Ye Wanruo smiled again and said: "Today is an auspicious day, since my uncle is interested in enjoying the song and dance, then Wanruo has no choice but to offer ugliness." ”
Ye Wanruo's invitation shocked everyone, I don't know where Ye Wanruo got such courage? While secretly surprised, everyone only saw Ye Wanruo get up with the personal support of De Zhengye, walked straight to the musicians on the side, picked a pipa at random, returned to the dance floor again, and said to Dong Zixuan: "Princess, please forgive Wanruo if she is not proficient in dance skills, she can only sing to the princess here to accompany her, and please don't dislike the princess!" ”
The scene in front of her, even Dong Zixuan was surprised, she had heard a lot about Ye Wanruo's legend, so she had such courage to provoke Ye Wanruo.
At this time, if she agrees to Ye Wanruo, it means that her dance style and rhythm will be in Ye Wanruo's hands, but if she regrets it, she will seem to be backsliding and hurting the reputation of Dongyue Kingdom.
At this time, Dong Zixuan was also difficult to ride a tiger, so she had to smile awkwardly.
Under the arrangement of De Zhengye, the guards moved a rosewood chair up, and Ye Wanruo slowly sat on the wooden chair behind the Qin Emperor in the south, holding the pipa and half-covering the flowers, slightly drooping phoenix eyes, and plucking the strings with her fingers.
The tactful and gentle song "Half Yarn Pot" is like a trickle, slowly flowing out from Ye Wanruo's fingertips, and the melodious style is exciting.
Looking at Ye Wanruo's slender hands holding the spring, a pair of delicate Bao Yi twisted lightly, and the movements were skillful, if it wasn't for a long time of practice, she wouldn't have played such a light tune at all.
Just when everyone was surprised, Ye Wanruo's gentle voice had already sounded:
"The ink has entered the water to cross a pool of blue flowers,
Pick five red red glow and go home to pick bamboo,
The wind comes to bury a mulberry hemp,
Put down the acacia in a robe,
Ten miles of peach blossoms, the years to be married,
The pearls of the phoenix crown are pulled into the hair,
Sandalwood brushes the jade bracelet to make light yarn,
Leave a bud-colored tea,
If you see the mountains and rivers in my heart,
I prayed one lotus at a time,
How do you know that the floating grass is urging people to grow old,
The wind and moon flowers and birds smiled at the dust."
After the prelude of the song, Ye Wanruo lightly opened her lips, and the soft voice was like a heavenly sound, slowly flowing into the hearts of the listeners, making people can't help but immerse themselves in this wonderful singing.
Even Dong Zixuan, who was standing in the middle of the dance floor, was stunned by this singing, and was stunned in place, forgetting the competition she had threatened, but looking at Ye Wanruo, who was different from the legend, in disbelief, her heart was full of unwillingness.
Finally, Dong Zixuan came back to her senses, put away the resentment in her eyes, and danced with soft steps along with the tune of mountains and flowing water. As she moved, the silver bell around her waist also tinkled.
I have to admit that Dong Zixuan's adaptability is still very strong, although after a short period of distraction, she still quickly adapted to the tune, and with the peak of the song, Dong Zixuan's dance steps became faster and faster, spinning rapidly.
The cyan printed bandeau glass skirt dances gently, like a delicate peony quietly blooming. The jade hand twisted the orchid finger, and the delicate and lovely appearance was even more enchanting. The dark purple shawl also fluttered in the wind under the dance of Dong Zixuan.
Intertwined, rotated, and flying, Dong Zixuan's beautiful figure brought out the graceful dancing to the fullest. Compared with Dong Zixuan's dancing posture, what is more eye-catching is still Ye Wanruo.
Compared with the shock of the ministers present, Wei Chi Jingyao's eyes were even more tightly locked on Ye Wanruo's body, and the pampering and pity in it were self-evident.
At the end of the song, Dong Zixuan also finished dancing.
I saw Dong Zixuan folding her hands on the right side of her waist, bending her knees, bowing her head slightly, and walking down the dance floor with lotus steps.
And Ye Wanruo also stood up, handed the pipa in her hand back to the musician's hand just now, walked to the center of the main hall, and leaned over towards the Southern Qin Emperor.
"Good! The singing and dancing are really extraordinary. Virtue is the industry, reward! ”
The corners of Nan Qinhuang's mouth smiled, obviously very satisfied with Ye Wanruo's performance, anyone can understand, who is the real winner in the end!
I thought that this farce caused by Dong Zixuan would end here, but I didn't expect that Dong Zixuan saluted to Emperor Nanqin again, and said loudly: "Zixuan doesn't want any reward, Zixuan is brave, and wants to ask the emperor to marry Zixuan!" ”
"Oh? I don't know which famous son the princess of Dongyue has taken a fancy to? ”
Although the folk customs of Dongyue Kingdom are more open than those of Southern Qin, they have never seen a princess who took the initiative to ask for marriage, which made the Southern Qin Emperor's eyes flash with dissatisfaction again, and asked in a deep voice.
"Since Zixuan came to the Southern Qin Kingdom, thanks to the care of the Holy Prince, and at the same time attracted by the humility of the Holy Prince, Zixuan fell in love with the Holy Prince at first sight, so she dared to ask the emperor to be the master of Zixuan and give Zixuan to the Holy Prince!"
At the mention of Yu Chi Jingyao, a suspicious flush rose on Dong Zixuan's cheeks, and when she turned to look at Yu Chi Jingyao, she also made a silent look, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and her little daughter was full of expression.
"Father...."
As soon as Dong Zixuan's words fell, he saw Yu Chi Jingyao leave his seat and walk to the center of the main hall, his face was solemn and he just wanted to refuse, but he was shot by Emperor Nanqin's cold eyes and could no longer speak.
Emperor Nanqin did not answer Dong Zixuan's request, but turned his eyes to Ye Wanruo kindly, and asked in a slow voice with clear meaning: "Wanruo girl, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Dong Zixuan never thought that she left her woman's face to ask for marriage to Emperor Nanqin, but Emperor Nanqin not only did not agree, but asked Ye Wanruo instead, which in Dong Zixuan's opinion, this is undoubtedly a humiliation.
And Yu Chi Jingyao also turned his eyes to Ye Wanruo, the last time in the main hall, Ye Wanruo refused his request for marriage The scene is still vivid.
At this time, Yu Chi Jingyao was afraid that Ye Wanruo would try her best to facilitate this matter in order to distance herself from him.
Hearing Dong Zixuan's request for marriage from Emperor Nanqin, Ye Wanruo's heart actually rose an inexplicable sourness, and when Emperor Nanqin asked her rhetorically, Ye Wanruo's eyes swept over Dong Zixuan and Yu Chi Jingyao one by one, and finally replied with a salute: "Although it is said that the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the princess of Dongyue has a noble status, and the marriage is even more sloppy." If the prince and the princess of Dongyue are happy, it is not impossible, but if the prince does not like the princess of Dongyue, I am afraid that it is also irresponsible to the princess, and even the uncle cannot explain to the Dongyue country. Therefore, even if you uphold the principle of being responsible for the princess, it is only right to ask the Holy Lord about this matter! ”
Ye Wanruo's slow answer made Wei Chi Jingyao's whole heart finally let go, and at the same time, after Ye Wanruo's words fell, he bowed towards the Southern Qin Emperor and replied: "Father, the son is unwilling, and the son only loves one person in this life, and will never marry her again!" ”
As he spoke, Yu Chi Jingyao's eyes turned to Ye Wanruo, and Ye Wanruo was also moved by the obsession, and her eyes hung down with red ears, and she didn't dare to look at her again.
"My son has finally come out with a love seed, hahaha! I'm afraid it seems that Jing Yao must have failed the kindness of Princess Dongyue! Okay, okay, I don't care about your business, today is my birthday, don't talk about the government, don't talk about anything else, all the ministers drink happily, don't be restrained! ”
Emperor Nanqin laughed and said loudly, Ye Wanruo and the others also bowed and retreated, but Dong Zixuan's face was as ugly as pig's liver, and her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Ye Wanruo.
Is there anything more embarrassing than being rejected in public? If it was an ordinary lady's boudoir lady, it would be fine, but she Dong Zixuan represented the Dongyue Kingdom, and even Dong Yuwen was deeply dissatisfied with Dong Zixuan's reckless behavior.
After Dong Zixuan sat down, Dong Yuwen couldn't help but sneer: "I wanted to be in the limelight, but I was countered by someone; Want to strike first, not to be rejected mercilessly? Now that Dongyue's face has also been lost by you, this feeling is okay? ”
