Chapter 492: The Best Candidate for Marshal (Part 2)

General Anne Hou Yunjin in the city got married and invited people from the Song and Dance Club to perform. This is normal. What is rare is that Sima Xuaner would accept the invitation, which surprised Liu Yu a little.

Sui Yi smiled wickedly and said, "Brother Liu, Miss Wu Lan is willing to come for your sake. She will also attend the birthday of the emperor in a few days."

Liu Yu nodded in the direction of Sima Xuan'er and the dancers. In his opinion, whether Sima Xuan'er comes or not has little to do with him. For a woman who has to rely on dancing to support her family for many years, Sima Xuan'er is a rare woman with independent thinking. Such a woman has her own choice.

Banquets these days are usually attended by men, and women rarely show big scenes unless they are very close relatives, or the people in the city have never seen the world, otherwise few people will bring their families with them. Liu Yu and Sui Yi don’t think so, but men in this era have the first place to possess women’s thoughts, which is also the reason why foot binding is popular in China. When they see dancers appear, almost everyone in the yard is attracted. At the same time, seeing so many gorgeous women is like seeing fairies. This is the case with the soldiers. Other guests who come to the banquet are in the same mood. Each of them is like attending the Peach Banquet of Queen Mother, with wide eyes and squinted.

Even Sui Yi exclaimed a little, "Miss Yulan is so beautiful today." After Liu Yu glared at him, Sui Yi immediately smiled ashamed and stopped talking.

"Didn't the Prime Minister Han say he wants to come today, why don't he see others?" Li Mi asked suddenly.

Liu Yu said: "Today, there are some urgent documents from Shangshu Academy that need Han Xiang to deal with. He said that if the matter can be completed, come over. If it is too late to handle it, go home and don't change the way."

Li Mi nodded. Qi Fang got married today. Logically speaking, everyone around Liu Yu should come to support him, but in fact, there are very few people coming. Some are dealing with official documents and have no time, while others have been recruited to the south. There are also many choices to stay away from the officialdom and stay away from the court. After pacifying the world, everyone has their own choices and others cannot force them.

It was already evening. After nightfall, the entire Anne Hou Mansion was decorated with lights and bright red lanterns. Because of the appearance of the dance girls in the singing and dancing workshop, everyone knew that this was a very wonderful performance. The servants and guards of Anne Hou Mansion had already moved the tables on the open space in front of the banquet hall. Although this place was not a stage, it was flat, and it would hurt their feet if the dancer danced barefoot.

Because Liu Yuli was in the main hall, Sima Xuan'er did not see him. In a faint disappointment, she also asked the dancer to go on stage to prepare for the performance. This time, Sima Xuan'er came as a dancer and dancer. She knew and wanted to lead the dance on the spot, so she cared more about the success or failure of the performance. After the musicians set up the instrument racks on the side, a performance was approaching.

There are no props like drum racks, nor do they have amplification equipment. Liu Yu felt that it was very embarrassing to these dancers when they came to perform a dance on such an early spring night.

The music started and the dance began. Liu Yu had a different perspective from other audiences to watch the dance, because the dance was performed on the front, that is, the front could see the full picture of the long performance. Liu Yu stood in the main hall and was also directly behind the performance. The performance he saw was not as elegant as the front. But Liu Yu could also notice that although this was not a master of Sima Xuan'er, it was also something she had carefully prepared, and everything was very fancy and illuminated. Ordinary dancers would definitely not add innovative elements, and the reason why Sima Xuan'er was famous in the Chang'an City dance world was also related to her bold innovation.

"The performance was really good." Sui Yi looked at it and exclaimed sincerely, "It was indeed quite embarrassing to let Miss Yulan choreograph and perform two dances in just a few days."

Liu Yu sneered and said, "You have been an official for a few days and are addicted to others."

"Miss Yulan didn't refuse. Is it because you feel sorry for Brother Liu?"

After Sui Yi finished speaking, he seemed to deliberately look behind Liu Yu, as if he was looking for someone. Liu Yu sighed, withdrew his gaze watching the dance, and said, "It's time to leave when we meet the old lady later."

Sui Yi said a little dissatisfied: "I said there are many performances behind, so don't you watch them?"

When Sui Yi spoke, Li Mi had already looked at him with a smile and followed Liu Yu to the back hall.

Liu Yu was not in too much mood to think about this. He was originally coming to attend the wedding banquet, and he also prepared to discuss with Qi side the issue of who will lead the troops. After all, things in the south are getting worse and worse. If Zhang Wuzhu had something happen to him or Zhang Wuzhu could not rescue Huo Bing, then the court did not send troops, and the people in the south would think that the court was weak. At that time, local forces would seize the side, and the south would no longer belong to the territory of the Shun Dynasty. This was the result that Liu Yu was unwilling to see.

Regarding the war, Liu Yu was not going to go in person. After all, he now has a family and a house, and is preparing to spend a few days of peace. Now that Qi'er ascended the throne, Chang'an City needs him to stabilize the overall situation. If he leaves Chang'an City, the people in the court will inevitably be unstable. If there is another rebellion, Liu Yu will be out of reach.

But today Qi Fang and Liu Jue finally got married, so he became more arbitrary and drank too much. Liu Yu couldn't discuss with him in this state. Originally, Liu Yu was planning to ask Li Mi to try to lead troops and make achievements, but Li Mi pushed him directly. Liu Yu was a little worried now. Could it be that the court would let the armed struggles of several factions in the south and the court ignored it?

When he arrived at the back hall, the old lady smiled. Liu Yu thought Liu Jue had already entered the new house, but he didn't expect that Liu Jue was still in the back hall at this time. Liu Yu was a little stunned. At this time, Liu Jue was just wearing a black dress for the newlyweds, without even covering her veil. She was sitting next to Qi Fang's mother. Several female relatives who came to attend the wedding banquet today were also talking.

When Liu Yu and the other two came in, a female family immediately came over and scolded: "Why should you men come in the place of the women in the back hall?"

Liu Yu looked at the woman in front of him. Liu Yu didn't recognize which family the woman should be. When the old lady there saw Liu Yu and the other two, she immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's Wang Lin who came here in person, it's okay."

Everyone may have to think about who Lin Wang is. If Liu Wenyan or the vanguard general, it will be more intimidating.

Liu Yu walked in with a smile and saluted the old lady. The old lady stood up and smiled and said, "How dare I accept the gift of the prince? It is really his blessing to be able to serve under the prince's command. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
