Chapter 343: Dedication Dance
Chao Yun's face was covered, and his appearance could not be clearly seen, but his graceful figure, twisted in the exotic tune, was particularly enchanting and alluring.
The gorgeous red gauze makes her fair skin look as white as jade, which is very ornamental.
Zhao Xifang, who had some agenda, went out of her way to see the emperor's reaction after Chaoyun appeared.
However, they found that Emperor Xuanzhi looked indifferent and showed no interest in Chaoyun. On the contrary, Jiang Changning was looking at it with great interest.
This is not what she expected!
Seeing Zhao Xifang looking at the emperor and empress frequently, King Yu frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything." Zhao Xifang looked back,
"You'd better be honest and don't go crazy." King Yu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xifang snorted coldly and took a piece of dried meat to eat.
The dancers dance very hard, hoping to please the nobles, and even if they can't climb high, they can still get more rewards.
But what disappoints them is that these noble people here are not like the guests they met in the dance studio, who cheered wildly and spent a lot of money.
Their expressions were indifferent and careless.
At the end of the dance, the dancers took off the masks on their faces, revealing their beautiful faces.
Among them, Chaoyun's appearance is the most outstanding, with almond eyes, peach cheeks, a small cherry mouth, and two pear dimples on her cheeks.
Jiang Changning smiled slightly. With such beauty, no wonder he would have such thoughts.
If it weren't for bad luck and falling into the world, if Chao Yun's family background was better, she would definitely be the adopted daughter of one family and be sought after by hundreds of families based on her appearance.
Poor and sad.
Chaoyun didn't know that the empress was lamenting her life experience. She looked at Emperor Xuanzhi expectantly, but was disappointed.
Emperor Xuanzhi's eyes did not fall on her, which Chao Yun could not accept. Her reputation for beauty had spread throughout the capital, and countless men fell under her pomegranate skirt. Why was His Majesty not tempted by her at all?
Chaoyun was very unwilling, and she raised her voice and said: "This dance is called "Wanjiang", and it is a dance specially composed by Chaoyun for His Majesty's longevity."
Emperor Xuanzhi did not say anything. Instead, Jiang Changning clapped his hands and said, "Longevity is a blessing. How could you have such a clever idea? This dance is very good. I am very happy. Come and enjoy it."
Chaoyun was not willing to accept being praised and rewarded by the queen, but she could no longer say or do anything. The six dancers stopped in front of her and saluted Jiang Changning.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." The six dancers appeared to be surrounding her, but in reality they were holding her up and took Chao Yun out of the palace.
After reaching the backstage, the six dancers let her go. Chao Yun asked angrily: "What are you doing?"
"We are saving your life." A dancer said angrily.
"Chaoyun, beauty is the most irresistible thing. Even if you win His Majesty's favor today with your beauty, you will become miserable when you are old and wan." Another dancer warned.
Another dancer said: "And your beauty is nothing. The queen is truly as beautiful as a fairy."
"Shut up, what do you know?" Chao Yun scolded angrily.
"Okay, okay, we don't understand, but you do."
The six of them were too lazy to argue with her and were about to go behind the screen to change their clothes. At this moment, two eunuchs came in carrying trays containing gold hairpins, silver hairpins and other items that Jiang Changning had given them.
Previously, the six people were afraid that Chao Yun would cause trouble again, so they left too quickly.
"This is a reward from the Queen. Remember to express your gratitude to the Queen for her kindness to you." The two eunuchs put down the trays and turned to leave.
"Sir, thank you very much." A dancing girl picked out a pair of gold bracelets and wanted to give them to the two of them.
The two eunuchs waved their hands, refused, and left in a hurry.
They are not so short-sighted, so they will not compete with the dancers for profit.
"The queen is so wonderful!" Several dancers danced happily and were very excited.
Chao Yun snorted coldly, "I've never seen the world, just a little thing, and I'm so happy."
"Yes, yes, you have seen the world and you are great. Since you don't like this thing, I won't give it to you."
"I don't care." Chao Yun waved his hand and went to change clothes behind the screen.
Several dancers exchanged glances and curled their lips together.
The dance performance is over, and you can leave the palace later. You don't have to worry about Chao Yun causing trouble in the palace and causing trouble to them.
In the Zhaoyang Palace, the palace's juggler's troupe was performing a spinning plate.
The plates are painted with dragons and phoenixes, flowers, and auspicious clouds. The artist arranges the plates skillfully. When the plates are turned, it seems as if dragons and phoenixes are flying among the auspicious clouds, and flowers are blooming.
"Queen, I think this was your idea again." Emperor Xuanzhi smiled.
"Does Your Majesty like it?" Jiang Changning asked with raised eyebrows.
"Heavy reward." Emperor Xuanzhi replied with a reward.
After the program ended, it was time for intermission. First, the prince and the second prince who were in the apse came with their companions and princes and princes from each house to toast Emperor Xuanzhi. Xiaoqian was still young and did not attend.
"My son, I wish my father a long and holy life, endless emperor's career, and long-term national destiny." The prince said respectfully.
Others also said auspicious words of birthday wishes, and Emperor Xuanzhi drank the toast from the crown prince and the second prince.
After they returned to the back hall, the ministers came up to toast Emperor Xuanzhi and congratulate his majesty on his health, longevity and fortune.
Emperor Xuanzhi did not reject anyone who came and drank with all the ministers who came to propose a toast.
Seeing this, Jiang Changning whispered to Xiulan, "Go and ask Madam Cui to prepare the sobering soup."
He will definitely get drunk if he drinks like this.
After the banquet, Emperor Xuanzhi was indeed a little drunk. Although his behavior was the same as usual, Jiang Changning still felt from the conversation with him that his consciousness was not so clear.
The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chariot and said to Jiang Changning: "Take good care of the emperor."
"Mother, please rest assured." Jiang Changning saluted, "I send you my best wishes to my mother."
After the Queen Mother's phoenix chariot left, Jiang Changning went to help Emperor Xuanzhi, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace too."
Emperor Xuanzhi looked at her steadily, "Queen?"
"it's me."
"Ning Ning?"
Jiang Changning smiled, "It's me."
"Where are the brats?" Emperor Xuanzhi was drunk and still remembered his son.
"The nannies are taking care of them, your Majesty, don't worry." Jiang Changning and he sat in the dragon and phoenix chariot.
As soon as he got on the dragon and phoenix chariot, Emperor Xuanzhi fell into Jiang Changning's arms.
Jiang Changning held him with one hand, raised two fingers with the other hand, and waved them in front of his eyes, "Your Majesty, what is this?"
Emperor Xuan Zhi grabbed her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed her, "This is Ning Ning's finger."
Jiang Changning couldn't laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk." Emperor Xuanzhi insisted.
No one who is drunk will admit that he is drunk. Jiang Changning did not argue with him and said with a smile: "It's okay if you're not drunk."
"You don't believe me?" Emperor Xuanzhi had half-closed eyes, but now he opened them and sat up, staring at Jiang Changning with a burning gaze, "You always don't believe me."
Jiang Changning was stunned. Is this man drunk and crazy?
You can't tell someone who is crazy about drunkenness. Just follow him. Jiang Changning smiled and said, "I don't believe you. I believe you when you say you're not drunk."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Emperor Xuanzhi put his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly, "Even though I am weak, I only drink one gourd, don't you believe it."
Jiang Changning was silent for a moment and said: "I have never questioned your majesty's sincerity at this time, but your majesty, two grasses are of one mind, and the human heart is not as good as grass."
Jiang Changning said the last line of the poem so softly that it was almost inaudible.
