King's Landing in France

Chapter 294 Paulina's scheme succeeded...?

The main thing An Ning does at the ball is to chat, after all, dancing is not good, and Jio who always steps on other girls is not very good.

There was no way for the first dance, as the host had to lead the dance, but after the first dance, An Ning stopped eating completely, sat by the side, ate and drank, and communicated with the gentlemen and ladies who kept coming up.

Paulina also ran to An Ning, constantly looking for opportunities to ask about An Ning and Napoleon.

An Ning was very happy to tell Napoleon's sister a lot about Napoleon's previous deeds, why he chased the noble dude who bullied him with a shovel in order to protect the saplings he planted in the nursery, why he was obsessed with Rome, so he insisted on calling An Ning Caesar, himself To be Octavian, and so on.

Paulina may think that these things are not important for her to say, so once other gentlemen speak, she will shut up and give up the opportunity to talk.

Then, once no one spoke to An Ning, Paulina would start asking questions.

An Ning always felt that this scene was somewhat strange.

However, in the eyes of the gentlemen and ladies who came over, this probably has a different meaning.More than one person politely asked An Ning to introduce Paulina.

After An Ning's introduction, they all showed expressions of "Oh, I got it".

An Ning probably guessed what they understood, and didn't bother to correct it.This is just right, these days when An Ning was in Paris, the ladies lined up to send letters to invite him to various tea parties, because in this era, it is defaulted that a successful man has a lover, so everyone wants to occupy this position.

Now Paulina has taken this position, and An Ning is happy to be at leisure.

While the ladies were expressing their dissatisfaction with Paulina's existence, the men came to dance with Polina one after another, presumably because they wanted to establish a good relationship with someone who was likely to be able to influence General Frost in the future.

But Paulina always declared that she was tired and did not want to go to the dance floor for the time being.

An Ning joked, "You can be tired even without dancing. It seems that the Brienne Military Academy didn't give your body enough exercise!"

Paulina: "Aren't you the same? Except for the first song that has to be danced, don't you sit on the sidelines all the time? Do you know how many ladies in Paris look eagerly at the end of each song? Is it on your side?"

"How many? Tell me!"

"Eh? Uh, about five... No, ten! There must be ten!" Paulina whispered "Yes, there must be ten" after speaking, as if convincing herself.

An Ning: "It turns out that there are ten girls eagerly counting on me to invite her to dance, so who are you talking about? I will invite them as you said, stepping on their JIOs one by one!"

"Um, well..." Polina didn't expect that someone really wanted her to point out those young ladies, she was caught off guard, and was stammering, only to notice the problem in An Ning's words belatedly, " Wait a minute, what happened to stepping on your feet?"

An Ning pointed to Christina who was chatting with some ladies: "Didn't you notice that Christina's walking was a little unsteady? It was because I stepped on her foot in the first song, and now she hurts when she walks. I Didn't mean to, but... I'm not good at dancing."

Paulina: "It turns out that you also have things you are not good at."

"Of course I have things I'm not good at, and I'm not a god."

Paulina looked at An Ning suspiciously: "But my brother said that you are omnipotent, and he also said that you can compose music, and the Roman Psalm is your composition. How can a musician not dance?"

Do musicians have to dance?Some musicians... An Ning suddenly hesitated, because he really couldn't think of any musician who couldn't dance.

Come to think of it, musicians are very sensitive to melody, and it should be quite simple for them to dance their bodies to the rhythm of dance music.

Paulina: "I don't believe you're a bad dancer, and I don't see Miss Christina staggering."

An Ning: "You intend to be stepped on yourself, right? Well, I'll satisfy you. Wait a minute, did you take the initiative to invite men to dance just now? Miss, you are breaking the rules!"

Paulina: "I thought the Republic would have its own new traditions. Didn't you say that women can hold up half the sky? Why isn't Half the Sky even allowed to invite men to dance?"

An Ning looked at Paulina with her mouth half open, and now he was absolutely sure that this was Napoleon's sister. She looked very much like Napoleon when she was arguing with him just now.

"Okay, you're right," An Ning said with a smile, "then you should go to the end and invite me to dance!"

"Huh?" Paulina was stunned, "What do you mean by asking me to invite...?"

"Just let you come to me like a man, bend over to me, and then stretch out your hand: Dear Mr. Frost, may I have the honor to ask you to dance?"

Paulina blushed with a swipe: "What? This... so many people are watching!"

"It is because so many people are watching that it is just right to announce the birth of the new tradition of the Republic to everyone."

Paulina blushed, but suddenly showed an expression of reluctance: "Do you think I will be afraid, just invite!"

After finishing speaking, she walked to the front of An Ning and coughed.

As a result, the cough made everyone around him focus their attention.

Polina was even more embarrassed, and blushed even more, but she still said in a polite and gentlemanly tone: "Dear Mr. Frost, may I have the honor of asking you to dance?"

As she spoke, she held out her hand.

An Ning put her hand on Paulina's palm with a smile: "Of course, I am very happy, Miss Paulina Bonaparte."

Just like that, An Ning held Paulina's hand and stood up.

Beethoven in the orchestra pit noticed that An Ning had stood up, and gestured to the orchestra to get ready.

In general dances, the interval between two dance songs is theoretically the time for a personal show. Men and women who have the right eyes will ask the band, and then they will complete a pas de deux with the dance music ordered separately.

Such scenes have appeared in many movies, such as the new version of "Zorro", and the famous literary film "Scent of a Woman".

An Ning was triggered to remember the scene, like imitating the classic dance in "Scent of a Woman", but unfortunately he was not sure if Beethoven knew that dance song.

It is said that the dance music was originally a folk song that has been passed down for a long time.

With the idea of ​​trying it out, he shouted to Beethoven: "Por Una Cabeza!"

Beethoven nodded directly.

He nodded!

Really.

Then the music that touched the DNA of An Ning sounded.

Hearing this music, Paulina was shocked: "What, isn't this tango? Is it so intense?"

An Ning recalled Al Pacino's dance steps in "Scent of a Woman", and began to imitate them.

Paulina wailed "I can't dance" and followed An Ning's dance steps.

Because of the poor coordination, An Ning stepped on her feet continuously and precisely.
