Chapter 96 Two Dances

The eldest princess brought Xu Jiao forward to salute, and the two were called to sit by the queen mother under the envious or jealous eyes of the whole hall, talking affectionately.

Xu Jiao was originally a good talker, on such a day, he had to say some witty words to please the Queen Mother.As expected, the Queen Mother was teased and laughed several times, and after a while, she held Xu Jiao's hand in her hand, shouting Ajiao one by one, very affectionately.

Man Dianli looked at her even more strangely, as if Xu Jiao hadn't seen her.She is also forced to go into business. Since she can't escape for the time being, she has to find a way to make her life better. What's wrong?

Fortunately, after a while, the wives brought their daughters-in-law, daughters, and granddaughters to celebrate their birthdays, so Xu Jiao followed and stood with the people from Jingfu.

The queen mother was surrounded by people, and there was no room for Xu Jiao, Xu Jiao didn't want to be crowded with people at this time, so she withdrew.

Who knows, she is not the only one who has this idea.When she raised her eyes, she met Wang Wan's eyes across the crowd, and the two smiled at each other, with some helplessness in their smiles.

Wang Wan took her hand and retreated from the main hall, "It's still some time before we leave the banquet, and you'll be too busy and tired later, why don't you take advantage of this moment to go to my room to rest for a while."

Xu Jiao had no objection, the entertainment on such an occasion was tiring, not to mention that they would have to present a birthday gift in public, so she did not refuse Wang Wan's kindness, and accepted it graciously.

The two came to the side hall, Wang Wan's residence.From a distance, I saw a person who arrived one step earlier than them, who was also dressed in a splendid attire, and he was an acquaintance. It was the Wu Niang of Wei Guogong's mansion, the Lord of Shou'an County, who was as close as the two of them.

Wei Wuniang clearly saw them, but turned her head coldly, and pushed the door into her room without saying hello to them.

If it was just alienation to leave after saying a few words the previous time, this time the disgust and dissatisfaction were expressed in an undisguised and straightforward manner.

Wang Wan's expression was a bit uncomfortable, but Xu Jiao didn't care at all, as if she had no prejudice, she smiled and said to Wang Wan, "Let's go! Why don't you go?"

No matter how great a person is, it's impossible for everyone to like her, right?It is mediocrity not to recruit people!In this world, she, Xu Jiao, has now been mixed into the superstructure, and she will continue to flourish in the future, how can she not be envied?
They talked for a while in Wang Wan's room, ate some pastries, and took a short nap before they came out again.Without going out of the side hall, I met Wei Wuniang again, and I have to say that it was really destined.

Wei Wuniang also rolled her eyes at them with an unattractive expression, and then left. Let alone Xu Jiao this time, even Wang Wan just pretended not to see it.

In the imperial garden, there are already shadows of clothes and temples, and shadows of people.

After talking for a while, the nobles came one after another, and it was already the first time when the lights came on.

This time, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was held directly around the Tsinghua Pool, and men and women did not share the seats, which was also for the sake of excitement.

Emperor Xian took the empress dowager and empress to sit at the main seat, and the rest of the guests sat in line according to the etiquette.

When it came time to offer birthday presents, all kinds of birthday presents were priceless, which opened the eyes of Xu Jiao, a bumpkin.

Soon it was their turn.The first to play is Wang Wan.With the lights dimmed, a night boat slowly approached Tsinghua Pool.

On the boat, a fairy in white clothes danced gracefully, shaking and shaking, her skirt swaying slightly.

There was an exclamation on the side.

The moonlight was completely collected on the skirt, and a piece of starlight was actually swaying and falling.A dance, only accompanied by the sound of the flute and the piano in the distance, dancing on the boat is the fairy of the Yaochi descending to the earth, flying across Lingbo, bringing the Milky Way starlight, and wishing the Queen Mother a long life.

After a dance, there was silence around Tsinghua Pool. After a while, there was a burst of thunderous applause.

Panting slightly, Wang Wan came up to thank her, and after a little blessing, she wished the queen mother a thousand years.

Emperor Xian just praised, "Shoukang's dance is amazing, especially your skirt..." Emperor Xian looked down and saw that besides some silver threads, there were some dots on her skirt. , I don't know what it is to outline, but it is very brilliant, really like a star falling down a skirt.

"This dress was drawn by Princess Yingyue to help Shou Kang!" Wang Wan smiled and glanced at Xu Jiao's seat.

"Oh?" Emperor Xian raised his eyebrows, and the Empress Dowager and Empress all looked in Xu Jiao's direction.

Xu Jiao was a little ashamed, and hurriedly bowed her body.

"It turned out to be Yingyue's ingenuity!"

"However, Shoukang's dance is also eye-opening. The Ai family likes it very much."

Wang Wan smiled slightly.

The eldest princess glanced at Xu Jiao, but said nothing.

At this moment, there was a sound of "dong", and the sound of clang suddenly sounded.The Eldest Princess next to her was shocked, "Is this... the song for entering the battle?"

Entrance song?Xu Jiao looked sideways, what is it?King Lanling?
But the eldest princess was already staring at the field with a dazed expression, and she probably wouldn't be able to explain her confusion.

Xu Jiao also looked at the field, and there were a few big drums in the center of the field.One of them landed on the biggest drum in the middle, wearing a crow-blue dress with a mask on his face, and the others were dressed almost in the same way.The drums started again, one after another, and gradually brought the sound of Jin Ming swords and swords, and the spirit of conquest rushed towards the face.

With the beating of the drum, the people on the drum began to move. It was a dance, but it felt completely different from Wang Wan's.

Wang Wan's dance is gentle and fairy-like, but this one arouses people's blood.The shadow of the sword and the light of the sword seem to come head-on with the dance steps.This is in line with the status of the daughter of the five generals of Wei, but it is not just that simple.

There was silence all around again, Xu Jiao secretly looked around, seeing that there were tears in the corners of the eyes of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, Xu Jiao vaguely understood what, Wei Wu is taking the path of sentimentality?
The drum beat became more and more urgent, and the person on the big drum danced more and more anxiously, the long sword in his hand streaked with silver lights, and the skirt swung into a circular arc.Finally, after a sudden stop, she maintained the posture of pointing her sword at the sky...

"Okay!" Emperor Xian took the lead in applauding, and applauded loudly.

Others naturally followed suit.

The dancer got down from the big drum, went to Deyu, bowed to salute, and took off the mask. As expected, it was Wei Wuniang.

"This marching song was performed by the Empress Dowager before the late emperor led his troops to the northern border. The dance at that time aroused the ambitions of the late emperor and my soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, and finally defeated Beijie and returned triumphantly. And return."

Hearing this, Xu Jiao's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and he looked behind a desk not far away, and saw someone at a glance.

He was very keen, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her.The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and he suddenly drew his lips towards her.

Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes to avoid his sight.

At this end, the eyes of the two people met without attracting anyone's attention. At the other end, Emperor Xian was still feeling emotional, "It's a pity that I was still young at that time, and I can't remember the grand occasion. I didn't expect to see you again today." Entering the battle song, you can think back to the heroic appearance of the first emperor and his mother."
