Bai Shuang left the table and saluted, "My daughter is here."
The emperor looked at her clothes and asked, "Why are you wearing a riding outfit today?"
Bai Shuang lowered his eyes, looking extremely docile, "Firstly, it's because I feel comfortable;
Secondly, it’s because I’m worried that something might happen that requires the use of force, so it’s inconvenient to wear a dress.”
"Oh?" The emperor felt funny.
He glanced at the pink dress Ning Rongxue was wearing, and then asked Bai Shuang: "If that's the case, then why didn't you take the initiative to invite Ying to play when the foreigners provoked them?"
Bai Shuang said neither humble nor arrogantly: "My sister has already asked for help. If my daughter shows up again, the situation will become chaotic.
If my daughter comes forward after my sister defeats the foreigners, it will only make the foreigners think that we Dongli people are killing each other.
Your Majesty will also be unhappy."
Bai Shuang's words made the emperor's originally interesting smile gradually fade away.
He originally thought Bai Shuang was doing it as an afterthought.
But now he felt that Bai Shuang was right.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ning Rongxue quickly left the table and bowed, "Your Majesty, please don't blame your sister.
My sister is the legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion. She has always been virtuous, docile and polite.
My sister is a role model for all the rich ladies in Kyoto.
But the servant girl is just a concubine.
Therefore, my daughter usually practices in the mansion when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't look like a lady at all.
Compared with my elder sister, my daughter is simply not worthy of being on the stage.
If I had known that my sister wanted to get on the ring, I would never have stood up in front of my sister."
What Ning Rongxue said was really wonderful.
She is a reborn person, so she naturally knows that the emperor does not dislike women practicing martial arts.
On the contrary, the emperor particularly appreciated women practicing martial arts.
I also really hope that Dongli Country can produce a heroine.
That's why Ning Rongxue deliberately said that her martial arts training was "unworthy of being on the stage."
She just wanted to say this to stimulate the emperor and Ning Ding'an who had devoted almost half his life to the battlefield.
Sure enough, after Ning Rongxue finished speaking, Ning Ding'an's face looked a little strange.
The displeasure was obvious in his brows and eyes.
The emperor also frowned in displeasure, "What are you talking about? After being a member of the Ning family, there is no way to say that martial arts cannot be put on the stage."
Ning Rongxue lowered her head deeply and said in a panicked tone, "My daughter is at fault."
In fact, she was extremely happy inside.
Although both the emperor and Ning Ding'an were unhappy because of her words.
But she knew very well that they were not angry with her, but with Ning Baishuang.
"Your Majesty, my servants can dance swords." Just when the atmosphere was solemn, Bai Shuang suddenly said.
The emperor's eyes lit up, "Oh? You can dance a sword?"
Sword dancing seems very easy, as if anyone can learn it.
But in fact, if you want to dance well, you must have a foundation in martial arts.
The emperor also knew martial arts.
Although it's not that strong, it's absolutely no problem to figure out how to do it.
"Yes, my maid can dance with the sword.
Since some people have doubts about my daughter’s strength, it’s better to let my daughter demonstrate it.” Bai Shuang said.
With these words, there was a vague feeling of being on edge towards Ning Rongxue.
The emperor noticed the subtlety, nodded and ordered: "Give her a sword."
Bai Shuang walked to the center holding the sword, bowed to the emperor, then pulled out the scabbard and started dancing with the sword.
The sun sets in the west.
The sky is dyed with a fiery red sunset, illuminating this place beautifully.
In the sunset, Bai Shuang's figure is soft and graceful, dancing with his sword.
Every movement she makes looks gentle, but anyone who understands can see it——
If this movement were carried out at a normal speed, I don't know how amazing the effect would be.
But at the same time, they were all secretly surprised.
What kind of swordsmanship is Ning Baishuang dancing?
It looks quite mysterious and very strange.
It was a move they had never seen before.
As Bai Shuang danced, there was actually someone underneath the table, secretly imitating her sword dancing moves.
Ning Rongxue saw this scene from her seat.
She lowered her eyes and clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeves.
Damn it, damn it!
Hasn't Ning Baishuang never practiced martial arts?
But in front of me, how could she be so good at dancing with a sword?
It was obvious that Ning Baishuang's luck with the koi carp had been snatched away by her.
But why is Ning Baishuang still so lucky?
How could the plan she had been working on for three months be disrupted by Ning Baishuang like this!
Ning Rongxue began to think silently in her heart: Something else will happen quickly so that she can steal Ning Baishuang's limelight.
Show up quickly, show up quickly...
The golden finger of koi lucky star luck is not guaranteed.
Not long after, Ning Rongxue actually talked about her.
It was getting late, and a firefly flew over from the direction of the Imperial Garden.
It didn't go anywhere, and went straight to Ning Rongxue's side.
No one paid attention at first, after all, a firefly can't make any waves.
But gradually, when swarms of fireflies flew to Ning Rongxue's side, they illuminated her like a fairy descending to earth.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to her.
"Fireflies fly and gather together. Your Majesty, this is an auspicious sign!" The eunuch was overjoyed and said quickly to the emperor.
The emperor had vaguely heard of this statement, but had never seen it before.
He looked at Ning Rongxue, who was closely surrounded by fireflies, and smiled even more heartily.
He turned to Ning Ding'an and said, "Ding'an, you are really lucky to have these two daughters!"
In Ning Ding'an's eyes, Ning Rongxue seemed to be shining.
Hearing the emperor's words, he lowered his head in fear.
In the past three months, Ning Rongxue had received "auspicious omens" at the Zhenguo Mansion no less than ten times.
Ning Ding'an only thought it was a coincidence.
But today, in the palace, Xiaoxueer can actually attract "auspicious omens" again.
As a result, Ning Ding'an began to think seriously.
Maybe those things in the past were not completely coincidental?
Ning Rongxue, who was in the center of everyone's attention, looked humble and polite on the surface, but in fact she was extremely happy in her heart.
Ning Baishuang, your koi lucky star is really useful!
But that's not enough!
If I want to step you into the dust, I must compare you with me!
If I have a lucky star, I can create "auspicious omens".
If you are unlucky and will attract "unfortunate things".
Then you will always be under my feet and will not be able to stand up!
Ning Rongxue quickly planned a conspiracy in her mind, just waiting for Bai Shuang to step into her trap.
By the time the small banquet was over, it was already dark.
The palace attendants held lanterns to lead the way, leading everyone back to the palace gate, and letting them get on their own sedans and leave the palace.
Before Bai Shuang got close to her sedan, she smelled a faint fishy smell.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Qingwu, who had been waiting outside, saw Bai Shuang's expression was wrong and asked quickly.
Bai Shuang asked in a deep voice: "Have you seen anything strange since I entered the palace?"
Qingwu shook his head and said in confusion: "No, Miss, what happened?"
Bai Shuang frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly, her ears twitched and she suddenly raised her head to look at the distant night sky.
Her hearing was different than that of ordinary people, and she heard some strange sounds.
