Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 343: The Past Is Desolate
Your Highness, please forgive my father for deceiving me!" Gu Jiyun pretended to be serious, but felt a little bit pretentious: "You are the prince, we are just courtiers, how dare we bother you to celebrate my father's birthday!"
Hearing this, King Yi and Lu Ning were silent. Because they really couldn't tell whether their words were true or false, and which drama was being staged at the moment.
Gu Zhili drank another glass and let out a long sigh: "The leader of the Lu Gang doesn't want to recognize me, I don't blame you. This is because I didn't do a good job! I have missed my little girl very much since she got married. Today I saw the leader of the Lu Gang wearing
The little girl's clothes made her forget about her for a moment, so she asked the leader of the Lu Gang to perform a dance without knowing the importance of it. I hope you won't be surprised!"
Lu Ning lowered his eyes and thought deeply. He was so surprised by the changes in the Gu family and his son!
She didn't dare to take it lightly, but they spoke from the bottom of their hearts, and she couldn't seem to refuse.
After thinking about it, she had no choice but to give in: "Since today is Mr. Gu's birthday, you want to see me dance. This is my honor! However, I don't know how to dance like ladies, I only know one kind of dance.
Dance, I wonder if adults would like to see it!"
Hearing this, Gu Zhili was overjoyed.
He quickly stood up and said excitedly: "The leader of the Lu Gang has this intention. I can only be grateful, so how can I be picky!"
Lu Ning smiled warmly and stood up immediately.
A maid came forward and took away the pipa from her arms. The shield on her chest was gone, and a large area of snowy skin was exposed for a moment, and the scenery was endless.
King Yi frowned slightly, his face changed suddenly, and his voice revealed his displeasure: "The Lu gang leader is wearing such thin clothes, be careful of catching the cold, so there is no need to dance."
Lu Ning gave him a grateful smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness! However...since Mr. Gu wants to watch the dance, if I step down now, wouldn't it spoil everyone's interest?"
King Yi was shocked and looked at Lu Ning in disbelief. He saw that she took out the hairpin from her temples and her black hair suddenly fell down, covering the sultry scenery on her chest.
When King Yi saw this, his expression softened slightly. He knew that she must have her own plan, so he stopped obstructing her.
Lu Ning turned around and walked towards the guard on the side, cupping his hands and saying, "Brother! Please lend me your sword!"
The guard was startled and quickly looked at Gu Zhili. The Gu family and his son also looked at each other. They didn't know what Lu Ning wanted to do with the sword, and they neither dared to agree nor refuse.
King Yi smiled knowingly and immediately said to Tie Lin beside him: "Give my sword to the leader of the Lu Gang!"
"Yes!" Tie Lin presented a delicate, elegant, jet-black sword with both hands.
Lu Ning took the sword, looked it over in his hand, and praised: "What an indestructible sword of benevolence and righteousness without any murderous intent!"
King Yi smiled and said, "This sword is called Zhan Lu. It is a gentleman's sword! It matches you perfectly."
Lu Ning held the sword in his hand and said with a smile: "In the past, there was a beautiful lady named Gongsun. She moved her sword in all directions with her sword dance. Although Lu Ning cannot dance, she is willing to imitate Gongsun and dance with her sword to add to the fun!"
After saying that, she held the sword in her hand and looked at Gu Zhili with half-smiling eyes.
Gu Zhili's heart sank. He knew that this woman's bravery should not be underestimated. He was afraid that she would be harmful to him, so he quickly opened his mouth to stop her.
At this moment, King Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! She is indeed a beautiful woman, and even her dance is different from others! Come on, let's play music!"
Who dares to disobey the prince? As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of drums, music, shengs and flutes began to play.
Gu Zhili sat on the chair anxiously, with his heart in his throat. He stared at the dancing woman with vigilant eyes, and quickly winked at Gu Jiyun beside him, telling him to be ready at all times.
In the rapid music, Lu Ning dances vigorously and agilely, and the sword in his hand is dazzling.
When dancing, the sword's power is like thunder, which takes people's breath away. When it stops dancing, it is calm and restrained, like the condensed waves of the river and sea.
King Yi's eyes were blazing, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He looked very fascinated, and his heart was filled with excitement:
As expected, she was still the chivalrous heroine who made his heart flutter and was so pleasing to the eye! There was a sense of swordsmanship in her words and deeds!
He picked up the wine cup in front of him and took a sip. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gu Zhili, who was restless, but he was not as leisurely as he was.
King Yi smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and saluted him: "Master Gu is really thoughtful and has prepared so many surprises for me! I really like it!"
Gu Zhili came back to his senses and forced a smile at him: "As long as Your Highness likes it!"
King Yi smiled meaningfully, turned his head, and continued to watch the performance with interest.
In the middle of the flower hall, Lu Ning made several circles in front of Hengjian, gradually approaching Gu Zhili.
Immediately, her right hand suddenly stretched forward, a sharp sword came out, and it stopped suddenly three inches in front of the tip of Gu Zhili's nose.
Looking at the gleaming sword tip in front of him, Gu Zhili was immediately frightened to the point where his whole body stiffened, his breathing became rapid, and he did not dare to move. However, he met Lu Ning's probing gaze without changing his expression, and forced himself to stay calm.
Gu Jiyun immediately drew his sword in his hand, until Lu Ning shouted: "How presumptuous! What are you going to do?"
Lu Ning stared at the pale-faced Gu Zhili and smiled: "I've finished my performance. Did Mr. Gu think it was wonderful?"
A drop of sweat fell, Gu Zhili forced a smile and said: "Wonderful, wonderful! What a wonderful performance, I was stunned when I watched it."
Lu Ning smiled brightly and asked again: "Since it's wonderful, why don't I see you clapping and cheering?"
Gu Zhili twitched the corners of his mouth, immediately raised his hands, and patted them perfunctorily a few times.
King Yi's applause and cheers also rang out: "The viewers are as depressed as the mountains, and the heaven and earth are depressed for a long time. Aunt Gongsun's sword dance is really well-deserved! I am lucky enough to see it today, it is really an eye-opener!"
Lu Ning smiled brightly, sheathed the sword immediately, and returned the sword with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for lending me the sword. Lu Ning is showing off his shame!"
The garden was full of spring scenery, and the peach blossoms were blown off by the wind, sticking to their hair and clothes, and even a piece fell into the wine cup.
King Yi picked up the wine glass and paid tribute to Gu Zhili: "Master Gu's banquet today is really unique and pleasing to the eye. It makes me very happy! I would like to do it first!" After that, he drank it all.
Gu Zhili suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the wine glass, and said calmly: "As expected of the young gang leader of the best gang in the world! He is indeed graceful, chic and heroic! Today's sword dance really opened my eyes and amazed me. ah!"
This was said insincerely, with a hint of resentment.
Lu Ning smiled, cupped her fists and raised her hands to him, and said with a smile: "Master Gu, as long as you like it! This sword dance... just think of it as a birthday celebration for you! I hope you will accept it!"
"Thank you, Leader Lu! Leader Lu, please come to the table!" Gu Zhili returned the favor and was polite to her. He no longer planned to let Lu Ning perform anymore. He was afraid that she would ruin the banquet he had carefully arranged.
Lu Ning looked around and found that in the entire banquet, there was only one place left next to King Yi. She sneered in her heart: This must be the place Gu Zhili arranged for herself.
She walked over calmly and sat down next to King Yi gracefully.
King Yi lowered his eyes and glanced at her exposed snow skin. He immediately took his wind robe and carefully draped it on her body, completely covering her snow skin.
"Spring covers autumn and autumn freezes, it's better not to catch a cold!"
The familiar scent of ambergris came, and King Yi's body temperature enveloped her. At this moment, all the past events surged through her mind like a flood that had opened.
She used to be obsessed with King Yi's thoughtfulness and gentleness. Now, she is afraid of such intimacy. She is afraid that she will not be able to control it and will fall into it again.
Lu Ning bit her lip and softly said the word "thank you", but she no longer had the courage to raise her eyes to look at him.
She secretly grabbed King Yi's wind robe and wanted to take it off and return it, but she was greedy for such warmth.
Gu Zhili picked up the wine cup, saluted the two of them, and said loudly: "It is my honor to have His Highness and the leader of the Lu Gang come here today to show their respect. I would like to toast you two!"
King Yi also raised his glass in return, and they drank a drink together.
Just as Lu Ning raised the cup, he suddenly remembered the story of Gu Sisi and the eldest prince, and immediately became alert and quietly put the cup down.
Gu Zhili put down his wine glass and saw Lu Ning, who was still there, and asked with a smile: "I heard that the leader of the Lu gang always drinks heavily, so I asked specifically about what you like on weekdays and bought all the fine wines in the Xiaoxiang villa. Why don't you try it, the leader of the Lu gang?"
?」
Frowning slightly, he looked at the contents in the cup and smelled it carefully. He didn't find anything wrong, but he didn't dare to be careless.
She raised her eyes to look at Gu Zhili, smiled slightly, raised the wine glass and was about to put it into her mouth, but she pretended to sneeze, her hand shook, and the wine glass fell to the ground.
She looked at Gu Zhili with pretense of regret and said apologetically: "Master Gu, don't blame me, maybe I caught a cold just now!"
Gu Zhili smiled and immediately waved his hands to the left and right. A maid came to Lu Ning carrying a tray with a brand new wine glass on it.
Lu Ning looked at the wine glass and frowned, but never reached out to take it.
King Yi took out his handkerchief, wiped his wine cup carefully, and handed it to her: "If Leader Lu doesn't mind, just use my wine glass. I don't drink at all on weekdays. I drank a few glasses today, and then I drank again."
I’m afraid I’ll get drunk if I go down there.”
Lu Ning was startled for a moment, raised her eyes to see the tenderness in his eyes, then smiled faintly and took the wine glass.
She knew that King Yi had seen through her thoughts and gave her his wine glass to tell her that he had drank several glasses and that neither the wine nor the glass had been tampered with.
She picked up the jug in front of King Yi, poured a glass of wine, paid respect to Gu Zhili opposite, then raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Master Lu Gang really has a good drinker!" Gu Zhili praised and quickly poured himself a drink.
Seeing that Gu Zhili did not stop his actions, Lu Ning felt relieved a little.
Gu Zhili cupped his hands to King Yi and said, "It's because of my humble position and lack of thoughtfulness that I forgot that Your Highness does not drink alcohol! I hope Your Highness is not to blame!"
King Yi smiled faintly and said politely: "It doesn't matter, today is Mr. Gu's birthday, and I should have a few drinks with you. But there are still things at home. If I get drunk like this, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"
