Moonlight Allure

Chapter 13
The last tone fell, and everyone was still in a daze without recovering.It wasn't until she waved her hand that a long note poured out, which shocked everyone's minds.However, there is still a peerless song echoing in my ears.

Her pair of phoenix eyes were calm, and all expressions of joy or sadness were hidden in those deep eyes.She knew how surprised and unbelievable these people were at this moment.She also knows how many pairs of eyes have never left her.She knew where the emotion in those eyes came from.She knows better how dazzling she is today.

Her performance today exceeded everyone's expectations, including her parents and relatives.And... She raised her eyes and looked at the man sitting tall—Xiao Mingjing.

When she played the piano just now, although she lowered her head, she could also feel the gaze of the man sitting high.So sad, so regretful, so sad, so melancholy, so helpless...

Everyone was young, and everyone has a past that is unknown but firmly engraved in their hearts.She believed that even Xiao Mingjing, who was the king of a country, was no exception.He also had times when he was young and frivolous, and he also had a love affair with his children.But he is the king of a country and has too many women.After all, he can't just love one woman deeply, that's why his expression at this moment is so regretful and sad.

She didn't know that there was a person who was staring at her figure with a pair of deep black eyes.The emotions in those eyes were too complicated, so complicated that even he himself couldn't explain it clearly.It's just that the wine glass in his hand is tightly held tightly.Looking at the white figure who was sitting quietly, his expression was a little ethereal and in a trance.There is also an indescribable, unexplainable feeling.

Silence, long silence, no one speaks.The breathing of the silent face in the hall can be heard until——

— pop — pop — snap —

Clear applause sounded, instantly breaking the quiet atmosphere.Looking back, I saw the foreign woman in red standing up from her seat.Looking at Luo Qingyan, his eyes were full of admiration and sincerity.She came over and said softly: "You play really well, and you sing well." Her voice was neither false nor unwilling: "I have never heard such a touching, sad, and beautiful song." It was a little wet inside.

Looking at her misty bright eyes, Luo Qingyan's enchanting phoenix eyes shone with light, and there was surprise in her eyes.Didn't expect this little princess who was arrogant and rude just now to be so sincere?The sincerity in her eyes is not adulterated at all, she really thinks she plays well.

Involuntarily, the corners of her mouth hidden under the veil gently curled into a gentle smile: "Princess congratulations, the song that the princess talked about and played. The sound of the song is smooth and majestic. It's like broken Kunshan jade, and a hibiscus weeping dew." Her peachy lips showed A faint smile: "Compared to the princess's broad artistic conception, the song played by Qingyan is insignificant. The princess laughed."

Senas sniffed, and said: "You don't have to put a high hat on me." The corner of her mouth raised: "I have always been very confident in my piano skills, if your piano skills are not really better than mine. I am categorical I won't be convinced." Her watery eyes were full of admiration.Turning around, she looked at Xiao Mingjing: "Your Majesty, Senas admits defeat." By this time, she no longer had any disdain or hostility towards Luo Qingyan.They Turks grew up on horseback, and they have an open mind.Even if she is a woman, she still knows the truth of being willing to gamble and admit defeat.Today, she was defeated by Luo Qingyan, she was not unconvinced, on the contrary, she appreciated it.Such a talented woman is willing to be ridiculed and insulted by others in obscurity, and she is willing to be a green leaf that sets off the beautiful city.Thinking that I was spoiled and spoiled since I was a child, I was a little conceited.In front of this woman, I feel ashamed.

Xiao Mingjing raised his thick eyebrows, and he had already regained his composure.He is obviously very satisfied with Senas's surrender, but he still has to save face.So he said loudly: "Princess, you don't need to be too polite. I often hear that Turkic people like bows and arrows, riding and shooting. I didn't expect the princess to have such talents? No wonder the Turkic Khan regards you as a treasure."

When he opened his mouth, everyone came back to their senses.There was also a little more friendliness and appreciation in the eyes looking at Luo Qingyan.It's just that some people are happy, and some people are worried.Those girls from aristocratic families, looking at Luo Qingyan, who has never been well-known in the past, actually shined brilliantly today?Overshadowed all their limelight?Naturally, I was extremely resentful and unwilling.But he knows that his talent is not good enough, so he dare not compete with it.Otherwise, someone will definitely speak provocatively at this time.

Senas raised her head, looked sideways at Luo Qingyan, with some hesitation in her eyes, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

"Princess, you may as well speak directly." Luo Qingyan said lightly, and Senas seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.But he still hesitated and said: "Can you take off the veil? I want to see what the person who defeated me looks like?"

Ling Jueshang's heart tightened, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened subconsciously.He looked worriedly at the woman in white in the wheelchair.He has seen her face.If she lifts the veil at this time, she will be ridiculed by everyone.

Luo Yunzhi and Bai Yanruo who were sitting on the seats were also shocked at the same time, with obvious worry in their eyes.Luo Yunzhi walked out immediately and knelt on the ground.Bowing his head, he said: "My Majesty, the little girl shouldn't have covered her face with a veil in front of the Emperor. It's just...just..." He couldn't continue.

"If you have something to say, Aiqing, you can speak it out." Xiao Mingjing didn't seem to be angry

"Just...just..."

"It's just that the minister broke the mirror earlier." Luo Qingyan took the words, without the slightest wave of emotion in her eyes: "It's not that I scratched my face and ruined my appearance."

When her words fell, it was like a boulder falling on the surface of a lake, stirring up turbulent waves.Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at Luo Qingyan in surprise.It wasn't because she said she was disfigured, but because of her indifferent and casual demeanor.You know, any woman is proud of her beautiful appearance.And she was already disfigured, not only did she not have the slightest bit of inferiority complex, but she was still so composed.Is it because you have a good heart, or are you used to it?

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, she smiled lightly: "Well, it's just a piece of skin. If you want to see it, it's okay. But" her eyes rolled, with a slightly mischievous taste: "I'm afraid everyone After meeting, I will have nightmares at night.”

She looked at everyone's eyes that widened again because of her words, and Senas who was stunned beside her.

The eyelashes drooped, and the plain hand was raised lightly to put it on the ear...

"Yan'er..." Bai Yanruo stood up.

"Yan'er..." Luo Yunzhi raised his head.

"Miss..." Huansha whispered, there was worry in their eyes
Luo Qingyan paid no attention to it, and moved her fingers slightly.Everyone held their breath, watching the pure white veil slowly fall as she lowered her bare hands.

Obviously, the time for taking off the veil was so short, but the time for the veil to fall was so long, so long... Finally, when the veil was completely dropped, Luo Qingyan's face hidden under the veil also appeared. completely exposed.Of course, including the shocking scar...

'Hiss——' Gasps sounded one after another, seeing that such a striking scar appeared on the face that should have been peerless.Totally spoils the aesthetic.Many people can't help but feel a little pity in their hearts, but more people gloat.

A gust of wind blew by, and the veil that fell on the ear was just blown away by the wind.The black hair was raised, covering half of her face, just covering her ugly scar.The intact side is exposed, and it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

When the gust of wind dissipated, a hand, as white as creamy fat, had fallen in front of her eyes, holding the veil she had just blown off by the wind.She raised her eyes and met a pair of warm obsidian-like eyes.At this moment, there was a touch of pity in his eyes?He handed the white veil in front of her, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, making people feel like a spring breeze.But she didn't know that such a gentle and watery expression fell into another pair of watery eyes, which deeply hurt her eyes, and even more deeply hurt her heart.hand, tightly clutching the silk handkerchief in his hand.His face was pale, his white teeth were biting his lips tightly, and his eyes were bitter and unbelievable.

"Put it on," his gentle and magnetic voice sounded.Luo Qingyan was confused and stunned for a moment, because his eyes at the moment seemed to be similar to that person.However, in just a moment, she put away her confused look.He lightly stretched out his hand to take the veil, the temperature from his fingertips made his heart tremble, and a strange warm current flashed through his heart at that moment.

"Thank you." There was a light smile on her lips, but it was so beautiful and dazzling in his eyes.Involuntarily, his mood, which was always as calm as a lake, was slightly rippling.However, when she recovered, she had put on her veil again.

Looking back, she looked at Senas, who was a little dazed: "Princess, can you see clearly?"

Senas's eyes trembled, feeling a little guilty: "I'm sorry" she apologized in a low voice.

Luo Qingyan smiled indifferently: "Princess, don't worry about it, Qingyan has already said it. The beauty and ugliness of the face has nothing to do with other things, it is just a piece of skin. After a hundred years, it will still turn into a pile of bones and be submerged in the loess Why should you care?" She looked indifferent and her voice was calm.There is nothing artificial or pretentious about it.Xiao Ziqiu who was on the side was slightly surprised and appreciated it even more.He turned around with a natural expression and returned to his seat.

Compared to Luo Qingyan's calmness, Senas was even more surprised: "You don't care?"

"Why do you care?" She asked lightly.

Senas frowned, a little puzzled: "Women are always proud of their beautiful appearance, you..."

Luo Qingyan's eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the trace of sarcasm in her eyes, and said calmly: "There is a saying in Zhongyuan, called 'a woman is the one who pleases herself'. I don't have someone who pleases myself. It’s all about self-admiration and self-pity. Now that it’s ruined, it saves a lot of trouble, why should I care?” For some reason, when she said this, her tone was sad and self-deprecating.Just like that guy, he doesn't love her.So no matter how beautiful and moving she is.Not even the slightest bit compared to the woman in his arms.Just like the saying that people often say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!So when a person falls in love with another person, no matter what that person looks like, they are the most beautiful in the eyes of the other person.On the contrary, if a person does not love another person.Then even if that person is as beautiful as a fairy, in the eyes of the other party, he is not as good as a straw.

There was another burst of suffocating pain in my heart.She lowered her eyes, hiding the trace of desolate pain in her eyes.Looking up again, there is no trace of emotion in the eyes.She said to Xiao Mingjing above: "Your Majesty, my daughter is not feeling well, can I take my leave first?"

An inexplicable light flashed across Xiao Mingjing's dark eyes. When Qiu'er looked at this woman just now, he did not miss the tenderness and pity in his eyes.Didn't expect this son who has always been indifferent and refined to be tempted by a woman he has only met once?But it's no wonder, after all, she is such an outstanding woman.Even if her face was disfigured, she still did not lose her demeanor.

Seeing that Xiao Mingjing did not agree, Luo Yunzhi kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, my daughter has been weak and sickly since she was a child. I beg your Majesty to allow my daughter to retire first."

Xiao Mingjing raised his thick eyebrows, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Ai Qing, please stand up, since Ling Ai is sick, please step back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Luo Yunzhi and Luo Qingyan said together

Luo Yunzhi stood up, and said to Huansha, "Huansha, send Miss back quickly."

"Yes, master." Huansha lowered her head slightly, then called Xiaoyu, and they left the Golden Luan Hall together.That ethereal white shadow took away several pairs of fiery eyes at the same time...

They didn't come back to their senses until the white shadow slowly disappeared into the night and disappeared from their sight.In the main hall, the music was up and down, and the cups were intertwined. Everyone raised their glasses and drank freely.The original harmonious atmosphere has been restored.

The graceful figure of the dancer is constantly flying and spinning with the melodious music, dancing gracefully like a butterfly.However, this kind of singing and dancing still can't attract those eyes that have already followed the man in white...
