Early summer is the season when lotus flowers are at their most beautiful. No wonder Xiao Yi wanted to hold the dinner here.
The banquet was very lively, and even the people in the periphery could enjoy the fruits, vegetables, water and wine provided by the royal family, as well as special snacks.
The banquet was about to begin, and most of the people were already present. Lan Duoduo sat down next to Xiao Yi. Next to him was his father, Emperor Lan. Next to him were three beautiful men sitting side by side. Any one of them, these wealthy daughters of famous families, were
I was so happy that my eyes secretly glanced over from time to time.
Du Zirui, wearing a purple brocade robe inlaid with gold silk patterns, is evil, noble, bold and unrestrained. Apart from Xiao Yi, he is the most enchanting person in the whole body. Hong Huaze, wearing a soft
Wearing a white gown, a unique pair of amber eyes and slightly curly hair, her movements are elegant and charming, with a strong melancholy all over her body, but she is as beautiful as a banished immortal who is not stained by the world.
Du Zihao, dressed in a navy blue robe with a fox embroidered on the chest, perfectly matches his coquettish personality, full of sunshine and fun, and is a match made in heaven with Nalan Anqing, who has a strong and soft temperament next to him.
.
"Princess, please drink some tea." Xiao Xi poured the tea and brought it to Lan Duoduo, who nodded and looked around. The watery moonlight above her head poured down and sprinkled on the lotus pond. The lotus leaves were shy and the lotus flowers were holy. It was so lively.
At the scene, Lan Duoduo actually felt sad. Maybe she was incompatible with this kind of occasion. She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard the eunuch scream.
"His Majesty King An has arrived, and Princess Luo Na has arrived."
I don’t know who will be the focus tonight, but Princess Lorna is here for marriage this time, and she will definitely be the protagonist.
Lan Duoduo looked over and saw Princess Luo Na wearing a hollow lavender light silk mandarin duck brocade crescent skirt and a crimson skirt with hundreds of butterflies playing with flowers. Under the reflection of the lotus lantern, she looked like a crimson cloud, her temples were like mist, and her hair was
A sapphire-blue peacock hairpin was inserted diagonally between her hair. The fine pearl tassels swayed gently with her steps. Her eyes were as blue as a lake and bright and moving, like a fairy in a painting. She was indescribable.
She is very pretty, but her face is covered with a layer of gauze. Although Lan Duoduo has been in contact with Princess Luo Na, she has not really seen her face. And Princess Luo Na heard that the country is beautiful and the sky is beautiful, so she is trying to cover up her beauty.
It's just that compared to her beauty and the most beautiful woman Gu Ruyan, who is more beautiful? Everyone can't help but be curious.
Next to Princess Luona was An Xuanyi, followed by envoys from Yun Shang Kingdom, and three or four servants. They all held high-quality jade silk in their hands, which seemed to be gifts for Emperor Xiao. The group walked in
In the lotus pond, the official of the Ministry of Rites had already placed Princess Luo Na and An Xuan in the front row.
Princess Luo Na and An Xuanyi had just sat down when they heard the little eunuch's call coming from afar: "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived."
On the huge lotus pond, everyone, including the people on the periphery, stood up until Emperor Xiao and the Queen walked to the center and sat down on high seats. They waved their hands and said, "Sit down."
Everyone took their seats, but Emperor Xiao was the only one who was still standing. His loud voice was like the rolling waves of the sea: "Welcome the envoys from all countries to attend tonight's dinner. After tonight, the Seasonal Conference will be successfully concluded. I welcome you on behalf of Xiao Zhanguo."
Suddenly, the people were full of enthusiasm, cheering and applauding.
After a while, Emperor Xiao waved his hand to signal the crowd to calm down, and then continued: "Everyone knows that the previous Seasons Tournament was only a men's competition. Although there are women participating in this competition, there are very few.
But women also have their talents, so tonight’s dinner will hold a women’s talent show, and whoever wins in the end, I will give her the gold medal for immunity from death.”
As soon as Emperor Xiao finished speaking, he raised the death-free gold medal in his hand. The golden gold medal was so dazzling that everyone was amazed.
Lan Duoduo was surprised for a while. It was just a gold medal to avoid death, but why were everyone more excited than seeing the shiny gold and silver jewelry? However, this had nothing to do with her. Anyway, she was not participating, she was just an audience.
"The banquet has officially begun, whoever goes on stage first." As soon as Emperor Xiao said this, the banquet fell silent. There were many daughters looking at each other, but no one dared to stand up. No one was willing to perform the first performance because they were afraid.
Too nervous to perform well.
In this strange atmosphere, Xiao Qian slowly stood up and a clear voice sounded.
"Father, Qian'er would like to present a song to kick off tonight's women's talent show."
The civil and military officials, princes, grandsons, and envoys from other countries immediately applauded. The happiest person was Emperor Xiao. Although Xiao Qian had married to the capital of Chu, she was her daughter after all. She could boldly take the lead.
It was such a proud thing to stand up. Emperor Xiao patted his hands twice and nodded: "Okay."
The maid has already brought out Xiao Qian's fragrant harp. The fragrant harp is made of the finest fragrant wood. The wood body is extremely fragrant. The fragrance wafts out with the sound of the harp, which is intoxicating.
The maid set up the fragrant piano and walked down to help Xiao Qian onto the stage. Xiao Qian was seen walking lightly with a graceful figure. Although she was a woman, she had been a princess since she was a child, so her behavior was very elegant.
Showing nobility at all.
The lotus pond was silent, and everyone's eyes followed Xiao Qian's every move. They saw her kneeling dignifiedly in front of the piano, gently stroking the fragrant piano with her ten fingers, and tried the tone first.
A string of crisp notes flowed out, as if flowers were slowly opening in bud, and there was a faint fragrance floating in the air. It smelled so good that people couldn't help but close their eyes and quietly enjoy the wonderful music.
Sometimes the sound of the piano is soothing as a flowing spring, sometimes as fast as a waterfall, sometimes as clear and crisp as rain hitting banana trees, and sometimes as low as a whisper. This is a kind of clean piano sound that carries people's soul to the depths of music, looking for the spirit.
Lan Duoduo couldn't help but secretly sigh, Xiao Qian's piano skills are so superb, no wonder Mu Ziqian is worried, fearing that even Sister Aoshuang can't compare with her, because Sister Aoshuang's piano music lacks an emotion, and
Xiao Qian is able to integrate emotions into music, making people forget to leave.
At the end of the song, everyone forgot to applaud. Seeing this, Lan Duoduo took the lead in applauding. Xiao Qian looked at the audience and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She saw the clarity in Lan Duoduo's eyes, which was not pretentious.
It turns out she is a person who knows how to play the piano.
Amidst the applause, Hong Huaze's cold voice sounded: "Princess Xen's piano skills are indeed superb. Today, Your Highness finally saw what the sound of heaven is." After Hong Huaze finished speaking, Qiu Zimo couldn't help but think of Aoshuang,
Apart from her, I'm afraid no one can match Princess An Qian's piano skills. I wonder if she is doing well. Qiu Zimo looked at the stage and sighed softly.?
