Chapter 22: The Summer Yuan Song and Dance of the Night Banquet
When the voice of the chamberlain fell, the food that was originally placed in front of Fang Yunming and them had not moved the chopsticks, but it was taken down by the palace maids who came up, and replaced it with more exquisite food.
Fang Yunming and they were sorry for the dishes that were replaced, after all, they didn't move a bite, after coming here, they were inexplicably involved in a battle, the battle was over, they wanted to take a break, but they didn't expect to participate in another rescue activity.
After coming back, I didn't have much rest to come to the banquet, I thought that since it was a banquet, I would be able to eat something after all, but I didn't expect the emperor to toast, people toast, you can't be full of food in return to people, right?
After saluting the emperor, I thought I would be able to sit down and eat something, but I didn't expect that I didn't know that my words were wrong, and I was robbed by a senior official of the human family.
Now that they finally sat down, when they just wanted to move their chopsticks to eat something, they changed their dishes, and they didn't know what moths would be in a while, so Fang Yunming and Moon, as well as those officers under them, hurriedly moved their chopsticks and started moving, of course, they couldn't be as casual as eating at their own home, but as soldiers, especially soldiers who can mix their positions, being able to elegantly and quickly destroy the food in front of them is one of their compulsory courses.
Just as Fang Yunming and the others were trying to deal with the food in front of them, they only heard three applauses from the main seat, and after the applause fell, they heard a burst of pleasant music.
Moon said softly beside him: Fang, I feel that the country we are in now is very similar to the ancient times of your country, it is simply too similar, you listen, the tune of this music is so similar, it is really hard to believe.
Fang Yunming was so hungry that he didn't pay attention when the music sounded, and he listened carefully when Moon reminded him, and Fang Yunming still heard a slight difference.
Chinese classical music is soft, slow and pays more attention to the expression of emotions, while Xia Yuan's music also uses the five tones of gong, shang, jiao, zheng and yu, but it is more light, flexible and changeable.
At this moment, suddenly from the outside of the main hall, a group of girls dressed in beautiful costumes flew into the main hall like fairies in the sky, and saw that they seemed to be stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, like people in the painting flying down from the air, and when they flew to the top of the main hall, they slowly fell from mid-air.
This stunning appearance made the twenty male and female officers from the earth look stupid, they had the impression that it would be difficult for humans to get rid of the gravitational pull of the earth without the help of tools, but today they encountered too many things to overturn the knowledge they had gained over the years.
But in fact, what they don't know is that these twenty-eight young people, they also need tools to be able to dance, and the dancing shoes worn by these beautiful women have been carved with various wind and light magic arrays by some magicians, otherwise how can it be like stepping on auspicious clouds?
Of course, the reason why these dancing girls can dance in the air like this is also through special training, and not anyone who puts on a pair of such dancing shoes can dance the audience.
However, Fang Yunming didn't know about these things, but even if they knew, they would still feel extremely magical, because the human civilization on the earth for so many years has hoped that the flying machine can be miniaturized, and finally the individual human beings can really use these small tools to fly into the sky with the gravitational pull of the earth, but unfortunately, the smallest flying tool at present is the fifth-generation exoskeleton armor that Fang Yunming and they are wearing now.
But this is also possible with the help of those unique metals, and the smallest flying vehicle on earth today is a small aircraft the size of a human being, mounted on a human back, and using a rocket propulsion system to achieve the purpose of lifting a human into the air.
But it was much bigger than the dancing shoes that these girls were wearing, but they didn't know about them.
At this time, William, who was sitting below, saw these beautiful Xia Yuan dancers, and his mouth flowed out, and Jin Zaizhong, who was sitting next to him, looked at his companions like this, and the Xia Yuan officials around him all covered their mouths and looked at them with a snicker when they saw William like this.
So Kim Jae-jung stabbed William with his hand, and whispered to William, William, quickly wipe your mouth, everyone is watching us.
William turned his head to look at everyone blankly, and then continued to look at the beautiful dance in the field as if nothing happened, Kim Jae-joong saw him like this, so he quickly moved to the side, to show that he had nothing to do with the person next to him, and the other companions from the earth next to them were also eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, everyone was thinking in their hearts, how could such a shameless and obscene teammate be put on the table.
And at this time the emperor, the empress, the crown prince and the other royal families sitting on the throne also noticed William's appearance, because such court dances were commonplace for them, so they did not feel much about this kind of dance, so when they heard the whispers and whispers of the ministers, they noticed the lewd expression of our baron.
After a dance, the beautiful palace maids withdrew from the main hall, and when they passed by the place where William and Kim Jae-jung were, they saw our baron, and they covered their mouths and chuckled one by one, and Kim Jae-jung, who was sitting next to him, was even more embarrassed.
And at this time, Cheng Mingci, who was sitting on the main seat, asked Fang Yunming in an inquiring tone: Mr. Fang, I don't know what to call this companion of yours?
After speaking, he pointed to William's location, Fang Yunming was also very embarrassed, after all, William's performance was a bit too much, but since the master asked him and couldn't help but answer, Fang Yunming bowed lightly and said: This is Baron William, my teammate, Your Majesty.
Cheng Mingci asked curiously: Oh, is this gentleman still a nobleman?
Fang Yunming nodded awkwardly, Cheng Mingci nodded with a smile and said: "It's a person with a temperament, but sometimes you still need to pay attention to it."
Fang Yunming and the others nodded, saying that they would definitely persuade more, at this time, the prince beside Cheng Mingci leaned out behind Cheng Mingci and asked softly: I don't know what the two of you think of my Xia Yuan song and dance?
To be honest, the crown prince of the Xia Yuan Empire didn't make a big impression on these people from Earth, perhaps because there was very little contact between the two sides.
He neither has the bearing of benefiting the world as the monarch of a country like Cheng Mingci, nor does he have the temperament of a beautiful face and an empty valley orchid like Cheng Xiuyi, nor does he have the master demeanor of a generation of grandmasters like Cheng Zuting, nor does he have the kind of laughter and scolding that Prince Xi has as the Xia Yuan royal family.
This first heir to the Xia Yuan Empire was like air, always making people feel his presence, so when he asked this very ordinary question, Fang Yunming and Moon didn't think too much about it.
So Fang Yunming replied: Xia Yuan's dance is very beautiful, especially with the help of Xia Yuan's unique technique, so that the dancers can dance in the air, which is really refreshing.
After listening to this, the prince nodded, so he continued to ask, "Then may I ask, what kind of dance do you have on earth, and how is it different from Xia Yuan?"
After hearing this, Fang Yunming said with a smile: Of course, there is a big difference, because our earth dancers can't dance in the air.
After listening to this, the prince smiled and nodded, and said: Actually, not all of our dancers here can dance in the air like those dancers just now, I wonder if you know what the name of the dance they danced?
Fang Yunming and the others all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know, and the prince replied: The name of their dance is called "Flying Dance", which is based on the ancient myths and legends of my Xia Yuan.
The prince continued: "However, their dance cannot be regarded as the highest achievement of my Xia Yuan dance skills, and my Xia Yuan's highest dance skills are the elven dance.
Fang Yunming glanced at Moon, they didn't know why this Xia Yuan prince wanted to tell them this, it stands to reason that the two sides have not had much contact, and the two sides have not yet reached the point where they can talk about art and life with each other.
But since they are talking about this, the two of them can't help but continue, otherwise they will not give the other party a face, after all, they are the heirs of a big country.
So he bowed down from his seat and said, "Hello Your Royal Highness the Prince, although we outsiders have not been in your country for a long time, most of the people we have come into contact with are human beings, and I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince call this beautiful dance the Dance of the Elves.
So as the name suggests, this should be the dance of the elven race, so may I ask Your Highness, why do you say that this is the highest achievement of dancers in your country?
Then one of the ministers sitting below replied: "This is what you don't know, although this elven dance is called the elven dance, but it does not come from the elven family.
The first to create this dance was precisely our Xia Yuan dancer, and the original name of this dance was not called the Elven Dance, but it was called "The reason why it is called the Elven Dance is that the dancer who created this dance had lived in the Elven Empire for a long time."
Inspired by the elegance and beauty of the elf race, he created this dance, and taught this dance to his lover to dance, and the dancer's lover was a noble elf, hence the elf dance.
At this time, Major Silves, who was sitting down, said in amazement: Is this Xia Yuan dancer a gentleman? God, this is really amazing, and their love is just as remarkable, I wonder which dancer created such a dance that you admire so much, I wonder if we have the honor to enjoy such a beautiful dance? I think there must be a beautiful love story in it.
