Gradually, there were more and more people in the banquet hall, and soon happy music started playing, and there were more young men and women dancing gracefully on the dance floor.
"Isn't it a poetry meeting? Why are you dancing?"
Li Xuan and Luo Li stood on the edge of the dance floor, holding a glass of wine and drinking slowly.
"We Daqi people are good at singing and dancing. No matter what banquet there is, there will always be dancing.
And what you see are ordinary guests. The real VIPs are in the VIP room inside, accompanied by my father.
The poetry meeting can only begin after they come out."
Luo Li explained.
"I see."
Li Xuan nodded slightly.
"How about it, do you want to dance a song with me?"
Rory asked.
Li Xuan felt the almost murderous gazes from all around him and said cheerfully: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
As he said that, Li Xuan glared back fiercely and thought: I'm so mad at you! Li Xuan's dancing was a little unfamiliar, but he soon became familiar with it. His arms were around Luo Li's waist, and the two of them were like butterflies.
It was flying in the middle of the dance floor, and it really felt like it was about to fly! However, some people just couldn't stand it. They looked at it coldly and said bitterly: "Where did that brat come from? He dared to steal my limelight!"
It was Mi Shenxing who spoke rudely. His face was ashen and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.
"Master Shenxing, I asked around and it seems that this guy is Luo Li's junior student."
An aristocratic young man said next to him.
"What's your background? Which family are you descended from?"
Mi Shenxing asked.
"Not a noble, just an exchange student from Yunteng."
"What! Yunteng's bumpkin!"
Mi Shenxing was surprised, "How could Luo Li fall in love with such a Yunteng person?"
His eyes flickered for a few times, and he revealed a ferocious sneer: "It turns out he is a bumpkin from Yun Teng... Hum, that would be much easier to handle.
I'll lure Luo Li away later, and you go scare him and tell him that I don't want to see him in Di Tuo again!"
After the dance, Li Xuan and Luo Li walked out of the dance floor and chatted softly while drinking.
At this time, Mi Shenxing came over again.
"Lori, can I excuse you for a moment and say a few words?"
Mi Shenxing said with a slight smile.
"Can't you say it here?"
Rory asked.
"It's a very important and personal matter, I think it's better to talk about it alone."
Mi Shenxing Dao.
"Li Xuan, please excuse me."
Luo Li said slightly apologetically.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and signaled Luo Li to go to work. He slowly walked to the corner holding the wine glass and found a place to sit casually.
Luo Li followed Mi Shenxing for a few steps, then looked back at Li Xuan with some worry. When she looked back, her expression was already a bit displeased: "Mi Shenxing, what do you want to say?"
Mi Shenxing chuckled and said, "I'm just introducing a few friends to you. I guarantee they are people you want to meet!"
Luo Li asked doubtfully: "Who is it?"
"Do you still remember the author of your favorite song, the talented poet of the Yunteng Empire?"
Mi Shenxing Dao.
Luo Li's eyes lit up: "You mean that genius poet who wrote ten... no, eleven classic songs in one go?
You must not tell me that he is here too!"
As she spoke, Luo Li's face turned red and her breathing became rapid! Mi Shenxing said awkwardly: "Of course it's not him... But this man's musical talent is also very outstanding. He is Mr. Bai Mengde from the Kingdom of Dachu!"
He was the one who witnessed the birth of those eleven songs with his own eyes..." Bai Mengde?
Luo Li felt that the name sounded familiar, and she remembered it after thinking about it for a while.
"I know him!"
Luo Li said, "He is the big Chu man who overestimates his own abilities and wants to compete with the talented poet."
"Uh...actually this is a misunderstanding.
Mr. Bai Mengde said that he and the talented poet are very good friends, they cherish each other, and they both admire each other's talent.
What you said are just rumors and rumors, not the truth at all!"
Mi Shenxing said a little embarrassed.
"Really?"
Luo Li was stunned.
"In short, Mr. Bai Mengde is a person who has seen the genius poet with his own eyes. Haven't you always wanted to know about that poet? Then follow me to meet Bai Mengde and hear him tell you personally."
Mi Shenxing Dao.
Luo Li hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Li Xuan again, and saw that he was slowly sipping wine, and then she felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll go see Bai Mengde.
I really want to know how old that talented poet is, what he looks like, and whether he has a girlfriend!"
Luo Li said with longing eyes.
After Mi Shenxing and Luo Li walked to the VIP room, several well-dressed young nobles emerged from the crowd, with sinister smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Luo Li is gone, and that bumpkin has no one to rely on.
It’s time we teach him how to be a man!”
They murmured in low voices and walked towards Li Xuan in the corner.
At this moment, in a box next to the banquet hall, Bai Mengde was being flattered by several girls.
"Mr. Bai Mengde, your sweet serenade is really heartwarming.
I want to know under what circumstances did you write such a tender song?"
An aristocratic lady wearing heavy makeup and wishing she could paint her eyes purple said in a cooing voice.
Bai Mengde chuckled, dangled a flower from his hand like a magic trick, presented it to the noble lady and said: "Just like today, meeting such a lovely flower-like lady like you gave me a steady stream of inspiration.
Wrote a sweet serenade.”
"Wow! Mr. Bai Mengde, your mouth is so sweet!"
The aristocratic lady couldn't help but took the rose and gave Bai Mengde a purple wink.
Several other aristocratic ladies refused, and one by one they rubbed themselves against Bai Mengde and said, "We also want roses!"
"Everyone has!"
Bai Mengde comforted him with a smile on his face.
"By the way, Mr. Bai Mengde, we heard that you have met the talented poet Yunteng?"
Someone suddenly asked, "Tell me, what kind of person is he?"
Bai Mengde's face changed slightly. This question touched his most painful memory, and it was an experience that he didn't want to recall anyway.
After returning to Dachu from Yunteng, Bai Mengde had nightmares for a full month. Every time, he dreamed of being humiliated by Li Xuan to the point of being ashamed, and then he woke up from the dream covered in sweat.
That experience was the worst defeat in Bai Mengde's life. He lost so badly that there was no possibility of recovering the situation.
His self-confidence was severely damaged and he has not made up for it to this day.
However, he still forced out a smile and said: "The genius poet you mentioned is a close friend of mine!"
"Really?"
The box door opened, and Luo Li followed Mishen in. She happened to hear these words and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
