Obviously Yu Yunxuan has something very serious on her mind. She must have come to Dongchen for another purpose. Is it possible that she really married to Dongchen like Yu Siling? But she is the emperor's favorite princess, how could they be willing to marry her to Dongchen?
Is she marrying far away?
Just as they were thinking about it, it was time to start the banquet, so the two of them got up and went to their respective seats.
The banquet was divided into left and right seats. Ye Fuxun was Princess Chen, so she naturally sat next to Bai Yuxian, the chief on the left. Yu Xiunan and Yu Yunxuan were the honored guests, so they sat at the first place on the right. Others followed the same rules.
The official positions are arranged in order.
The main seat at the top is still empty. It is for the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor is still lying on the hospital bed. But even so, his seat must be reserved to show respect.
Sitting on the second seat next to him must be the regent Xiao Yunchen. With his usual smile on his face, he raised a glass to invite the envoys and ministers to drink.
Between the two seats on the left and right is a corridor paved with white jade, in which beauties in gorgeous clothes and gauze are dancing and enjoying themselves. The scene seems to be a happy one.
"I suspect they have another purpose in coming to Dongchen. Moreover, Yu Yunxuan is not a scheming person, and she is not as arrogant as other noble daughters. She is quite easy to get along with.
However, I discovered that she has something very serious on her mind, probably related to her coming to Dongchen this time, and I don’t know what her purpose is."
Bai Yuxian raised his eyes and looked across, glanced at Yu Xiunan, and saw that he was just looking over and raised his wine glass. He said, "I believe you will know soon."
Yu Xiunan is a very rich man. Although he always smiles at others, his smile is fake. When he faces people, the deeper he smiles, the faker his heart becomes. His eyes seem to be able to see yours.
Deep inside.
When they met in front of the Golden Palace before, Ye Fuxun felt like he didn't dare to look directly.
Such a sudden arrival made Ye Fuxun feel a little uneasy.
Xiao Yunchen sat at the top, feeling lonely all alone. He could only relieve his boredom by enjoying singing and dancing. After a while, his eyes unknowingly moved to the bright red figure.
superior.
Alas, it would be great if he could see her true appearance under the veil. He was sure that this third princess must be a great beauty.
Xiao Yunchen thought of this. It is said that this is a custom in the Western Kingdom. Unmarried women generally cover their faces in public.
But then again, why doesn't his sister-in-law Princess Yu have such particularities?
After thinking endlessly for a long time, Yu Xiunan's voice suddenly sounded below: "I heard that the Queen Mother of your country is still alive. Why didn't she attend such a grand occasion today?"
Yu Xiunan was asking questions knowingly. Before he came to the capital, he had found out that the Queen Mother was under house arrest for liaison with the enemy, but now he wanted to ask about it again.
Xiao Yunchen secretly scolded Yu Xiunan for talking too much, which was disappointing, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Since the emperor became ill, the queen mother also fell ill due to excessive worries. Now she is still recovering in the palace.
How can I attend?”
Yu Xiunan looked surprised, then nodded and said: "So that's it."
At this time, the dance was over and the dancers all retreated. Yu Xiunan glanced at Yu Yunxuan beside him and said:
"My third sister, Princess Yunxuan, has been good at dancing since she was a child. She was once famous in the Western Kingdom for her water sleeve dance. She is very interested today. How about letting Yunxuan dance to add to the fun?"
Yu Yunxuan was caught off guard. She didn't expect Yu Xiunan to suddenly make such a suggestion. She was stunned and said: "Yunxuan's dancing skills are not good enough to show off in front of everyone in Dongchen Kingdom, so why don't she stop showing off."
Xiao Yunchen suddenly became interested, looked at Yu Yunxuan with bright eyes, and said with a smile:
"Princess Yunxuan, don't be modest. I and all the adults present have not seen the dance of the Western Kingdom. I think it is very different from our Dongchen. Why don't you let me open my eyes today?"
Yu Yunxuan didn't want to jump at first, but since it was Xiao Yunchen who spoke, she changed her mind, stood up slowly and said, "Then Yunxuan has no choice but to show her shame."
After saying that, she went down to change into dance clothes, and everyone at the table was vaguely looking forward to it. After a while, the music started, and at the end of the corridor, Yu Yunxuan, dressed in sky-blue dance clothes and with a graceful figure, waved
Long sleeves, dancing steps.
She is still covered with a veil, and her face cannot be seen, but her eyes are shining and there is a touching smile. People can't help but picture her true face in their minds after seeing her. It must be a face as beautiful as a fairy.
The music was soft at first, and Yu Yunxuan's dance steps were slow and graceful, like a dancing butterfly. Suddenly, the sound of the pipa sped up, playing majestic music, and the dance steps also followed.
Become brisk.
A long sword suddenly slipped out from Yu Yunxuan's cuff, shining silver in the sun, and waved it in her white hand. Her movements were sometimes soft and strong, sometimes hard and soft, and the softness and hardness were combined in a dance.
A kind of heroic beauty.
This is the difference from Dongchen's dance. Most of the women in Dongchen Kingdom regard softness as beauty, so the dance is also soft and beautiful, but the women in Western Kingdom are different.
In the Western Kingdom, many women not only know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also learn martial arts, riding and shooting from primary school, and some even go into battle to kill the enemy. They are not at all as weak as Dongchen women.
At this moment, when everyone looked at Yu Yunxuan's dance, they all felt that it had a different beauty. Moreover, because they had never seen it before, they felt it was novel. After the dance ended, they still felt that they had not finished it.
Yu Yunxuan retreated amidst the applause of the crowd. Bai Yuxian smiled lightly and said to Ye Fuxun: "It seems that these three princesses are not simple at all. Such a dance has captured the hearts of many young talents present. It can be seen that
Her purpose has gradually become clear."
Ye Fuxun smiled, raised his neck and said, "You should worry about your regent who can't refuse beauty first. Look at him, his eyes are about to pop out."
Bai Yuxian looked at Xiao Yunchen, and sure enough she saw him staring intently at Yu Yunxuan's leaving figure with a coveted look on his face. Alas, this Xiao Yunchen has changed all his other problems, but he can't change his love for beauty.
at this point.
When Yu Yunxuan returned to her seat, the wealthy ladies present all cast jealous glances at her, while the young men stared at her unabashedly.
However, Yu Yunxuan herself didn't care at all about this. After sitting down in her seat, she couldn't help but look in Xiao Yunchen's direction.
She didn't know that her dance just now didn't make her feel experienced. But when she mustered up the courage to look over, Xiao Yunchen had already lowered his head and drank.
Yu Yunxuan lowered her head in despair, and suddenly Yu Xiunan's voice came to her ears: "You have successfully attracted the hearts of all the men on the court. Now you have completed the first step."
Yu Yunxuan suddenly raised her head, feeling happy, and asked: "Is it true? Is it really true?" She lost her sense of proportion.
