: Beauty vying for beauty

When he was trying his best to persuade himself to calm down, a high-pitched singing suddenly sounded in the hall——

"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived..."

The man in Yuebai's attire across from him suddenly nodded to Xiao Li, then stood up and left the case with a faint smile.

When Xiaoli saw it, she quickly followed the instructions. For a moment, loud congratulations could be heard in the entire hall. At the same time, the emperor of Daling Kingdom also brought his queen and slowly appeared in front of everyone.

The emperor and empress climbed onto the high platform and waved their hands to signal everyone in the audience to level up.

A eunuch came up to the stage and loudly announced the start of the banquet.

Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo was everywhere in the hall, and behind the high platform, a group of beauties in palace costumes came dancing to the music.

Someone stood up and raised a glass to toast the emperor and empress, wishing them good health and a hundred years of happiness together.

Xiao Li looked around and saw that the person standing up at this time was the crown prince in bright yellow clothes.

"My dearest friend, Renhe, I wish my mother a happy birthday. I wish her a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!" It seems that the Crown Prince looks pretty good today. He can actually attend such a banquet and be the first to come out to toast. But not

I don't know if he can drink excessively with his physical condition.

Fortunately, she was not the only one worried about the Crown Prince.

At this time, the emperor and empress on the high platform smiled slightly at the crown prince: "The emperor is full of filial piety, and the father and mother accept it. However, although today is a happy day, the emperor must also be careful about himself.

It’s your body. After drinking this glass of wine, don’t drink too much.”

Hearing this, the Crown Prince bowed slowly and replied: "My son, I would like to obey your teachings."

When the prince took the throne, the hall suddenly started to become lively. People stood up to propose toasts one after another. The emperor and the empress nodded in agreement one by one, and then they raised their glasses and tasted it.

When almost everyone in the hall had finished toasting to the emperor and empress, Xiaoli noticed that her mother slowly picked up the cup in front of her and stood up.

When Xiaoli saw it, she quickly followed her mother and stood up holding the wine glass.

"My concubine Xiao Shi Shuyi, hereby wish the emperor and the emperor's empress good health and all the best. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and may the empress live a thousand years."

At this time, the Queen Mother on the high platform suddenly spoke: "I would like to thank you, Sister Shuyi! Your Majesty, you see, today Sister Shuyi also brought her little daughter to congratulate me on my birthday."

It’s over.”

Feeling something strange in her heart, Xiaoli couldn't help but quietly raised her head to look, but suddenly found that the old Huayan on the high platform had a flash of fear in his already somewhat cloudy eyes, but then, on his face,

Then he returned to his normal noble smile: "It turns out to be Mrs. Xiao. We haven't seen you for many years. Are the madam and the general okay at the border?"

Mrs. Xiao slowly saluted and smiled calmly: "Thanks to the grace of the Holy Lord, my concubine and the general have been guarding the border to protect the family and the country these years. Although they are far away from the capital, they are still at peace."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly and smiled: "That's very good. Mrs. Xiao, please sit down. Today, you and the queen are finally reunited again, but you have to drink two more drinks with her here."

"My concubine, I obey." Mrs. Xiao took the order and sat down, and Xiao Li followed her mother and slowly sat down.

After a round of toasts, everyone formally sat down and quietly enjoyed the beautiful singing and dancing performance.

Speaking of which, the singing and dancing in this palace is not bad. It's just that maybe I've seen many of the queens and princes in this palace since they were young, so they don't find it strange at all.

So at this moment, I saw someone standing up at the table: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and so many ministers' wives have been invited to the palace. It is a good idea for everyone to marry together.

It’s a lot of fun. So from my perspective,

Why don't you invite all the ladies from famous families present to show off their talents to all of us, so that your father, the emperor, and your mother can take the opportunity to appreciate the rare folk customs in the palace of Daling Kingdom?

How about next?"

When Xiao Li looked up, she saw that the person speaking was actually Huangfu Haobo, and she was wondering what kind of tricks this Prince Wu wanted to do.

But at this moment, the Queen on the high platform suddenly laughed sweetly: "Well, it's my Prince Haobo who can guess the Queen's thoughts every time."

The empress smiled like this, and suddenly turned to look at the emperor sitting next to him, and asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this suggestion put forward by Emperor Haobo?"

The emperor looked at the queen with a doting smile on his face: "Today is a banquet for the queen, so naturally the queen has the final say in everything. As long as you are happy, queen."

After hearing this, the Queen's smile was even more beautiful than a flower: "I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness! But I also believe that this proposal from Prince Haobo will be very interesting."

Seeing that the Queen's interest was so high, the ladies below also started to get excited. Some of them could not wait to recommend themselves.

At this moment, a gorgeous woman wearing an emerald green dress had already stood up from the table: "My maid, Tang Xuanji, would like to perform a celestial dance for the Emperor and the Empress."

As she said that, she saw that she had already entered the middle of the hall. Following the harmonious sound of silk and bamboo, Tang Xuanji was already spinning briskly. As the sound of silk and bamboo accelerated, the dance steps under Tang Xuanji's feet could not help but speed up.

Until the end, I saw her whole body like a green butterfly dancing in the wind, flying up and down in the cool autumn wind, moving like a shadow. People can only feel the flowers and shadows in front of their eyes.

At the end of the song, a burst of thunderous applause erupted from the field. However, at this moment, Xiao Li suddenly felt that there were several ambiguous glances directed at her continuously.

She quietly raised her eyes to look, and she couldn't help but feel suddenly discouraged. But it turned out that it was the princes from the Ling Kingdom again. By the way, there were also two sisters, Yuwen Ruoxue and Yuwen Ruocai.

Because at this time, the smart and cute girl A Cai was turning back from the front, winking and making faces at her. Sister Ruoxue, who was sitting next to her, turned back and smiled at her. Sister

Comparing the appearance of the two at this time, there was a huge difference. But Xiaoli knew in her heart that the reason why they were like this must be because of the unique skill she showed at Yuwen Mansion last time.

That’s right. Since the last time at Prime Minister Yuwen’s house, several princes had seen Xiao Li’s song “Falling Flowers Falling in the Snow”, and they had already been amazed by her light body skills. So at this time, even if they were in front of them,

The young lady of the Tang family has indeed made her clothes look elegant, but she is no longer able to attract the attention of the princes.

As for Huangfu Haotian, although he had never seen Xiaoli's performance at Yuwen's house, under the full moon on the mid-autumn night, the agility she showed when she confronted several guards

Her strong body movements and the red robe and silk fabric dancing in the wind before the bright moon were all deeply imprinted in his mind.

Several more beauties came up behind them, each with their own merits, but compared with the maikos in the palace, they were slightly inferior.

It wasn't until it was Sister Yuwen's turn to appear that the venue suddenly became excited again.

But it turns out that the two sisters Yuwen Ruoxue and Yuwen Ruocai are actually unique. What they bring to everyone is not the dance of Daling's own country, but a different style from a foreign land.

After a little preparation, Yuwen Ruoxue and Yuwen Ruocai came out one after another.

Yu Wen Ruoxue wore a goose-yellow dress, but it was divided into two parts. The upper body was broken at the chest, which just wrapped her upper body round and plump; at the place where it was broken in the middle, her slender waist was not enough to hold a hand; while the lower body was

Wearing a slim-fitting long skirt with slits that reaches the ankle, when walking, the jade legs are looming, making people unable to bear to think about it again and again.

In addition, the clothes she was wearing were made of flying gold threads and colorful silver threads; among the jingling green rings, the pearly light reflected in her eyes, which really gave people an indescribable brightness and enchantment.

Yuwen Ruocai, like her sister, also wore the same dress. The only difference was that she was wearing a bright red dress.

In addition, the heads of the two sisters were each covered with a large and transparent silk scarf of the same color as their clothes. They each reached out and pulled up a corner to gently cover half of their cheeks. It really gave people a sense of

Unspeakable mystery and reverie.

Amid the astonished gazes of everyone, Yu Wen Ruoxue was seen holding a crimson huqin in her hand, walking to a corner in the middle of the hall, and slowly sitting down.

Slowly raising her head and smiling coquettishly at everyone, she saw her holding the piano in her left hand, and gently making a stroke on the piano body with her right hand: "呛婷啷啷" made a crisp sound, and a wave of notes followed the movements of her hand.

echoed in the hall.

At this time, Yu Wen Ruocai stood upright in the middle of the hall with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed. When she heard a sound, her bright eyes suddenly opened slightly, and in an instant, the hall was filled with light.

The sound of the harp in Yu Wen Ruoxue's arms became more and more melodious and exciting, while Yu Wen Ruocai danced flexibly with her waist and limbs as her sister played the harp.

Shaking his head and tossing his hair, his charming eyes are like silk, snake arms are wrapped around his shoulders, shaking his chest, twisting his waist and hips, undulating waves, walking on the ground, the jade lotus appears lightly, it is really indescribable and charming, endless things.

A kind of style.

It wasn't until the sound of the piano faded away that a burst of thunderous applause suddenly erupted in the hall, mixed with a lot of surprise and admiration. Everyone thought that the two Yuwen sisters must be the most stunning ones at today's banquet.

Double beauty.

Seeing Yuwen Ruoxue and Yuwen Ruocai walking past him with joyful smiles on their faces to change clothes, Xiao Li couldn't help but give them a thumbs up: "Sister Ruoxue

, Ah Cai, you two are simply amazing! This girl makes me almost fall in love with you!"

After hearing this, Yu Wen Ruoxue smiled tenderly at her, then suddenly turned back, her eyes seeming to be looking for a certain gaze in the table.

Yuwen Ruocai, on the other hand, pouted at Xiao Li, then moved her steps closer to Xiao Li's table, and laughed softly: "How is it? Second Miss, my performance today is indeed good, right?" After that, she laughed.

Be more cheerful.

"Not bad, not bad, really good!" Xiao Li responded with a smile, but couldn't help but look at the man opposite.

With such outstanding dance moves like those of the Yuwen sisters, I am afraid that all the men in the audience have been seduced by them, right?

But she didn't expect that before her eyes could see through Yuwen Ruocai's figure, she saw the man sitting opposite her. Over there, Yuwen Ruocai had already turned around and ran to Huangfu Haotian: "Brother Haotian, you

Do you also think my dancing today is special?"

When she heard Yuwen Ruocai's coquettish laughter, Xiaoli's heart suddenly palpitated, and she quickly lowered her head and looked back.

However, before she could hear Huangfu Haotian's answer, she suddenly heard someone in front of her say: "Okay, the two ladies of the Yuwen family, this dance is really extraordinary. I didn't expect them to use this different dance."

The unique customs of our Daling Kingdom opened our eyes to all of us. The surprise really surprised me!"

But it turned out that even the emperor was conquered by Yuwen sisters' dance.

"In my opinion, the result of today's talent show has been decided - Ruoxue, Ruocai, I will make you two the most talented girls in the capital of our Great Ling Kingdom!"

"Father, please wait!" Someone actually interrupted the emperor at this time, which surprised everyone.

Xiao Li looked up and saw that the person who interrupted him turned out to be Prince Wu Huangfu Haobo again.

At this time, Huangfu Haobo said to the emperor: "Father, I also thought that the performance of the two Yuwen cousins ​​today was indeed extraordinary. However, there were many beauties present today, so I thought that maybe there would be something behind this

, naturally there will be people with more outstanding talents. How about my father temporarily suspend this title for a while, and after all the beauties have been displayed, it will not be too late to add the title again!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, the emperor lowered his eyes and looked at Huangfu Haobo, and couldn't help but smile: "The emperor really thinks so? But from my point of view, it is difficult for Ruoxue and Ruocai to be compared to each other today.

She is an even more outstanding beauty. However, since you are so insistent, Your Majesty, I will listen to you once and wait for a while until you finish the talent show later!"

After hearing this, Huangfu Haobo couldn't help but flash a smile on his face: "If my father doesn't believe it, I would like to recommend someone. Maybe she will bring my father a new feeling that is completely different from the two cousins.

"

"Oh? Among these people, there is someone who makes my emperor admire her so much? Why don't you find her now and let my father come and appreciate her carefully to see if my emperor is exaggerating?

.”

After Huangfu Haobo heard this, he couldn't help but smile arrogantly, then turned around and pointed his finger at Xiao Li: "Father, please see, the person I am referring to is her - Xiao, the daughter of my great general of the Ling Kingdom.
