Chapter VII Tibetan Clumsy Performing Arts
Music sounded in Chaoyang Hall, and ribbons flew. While Nalanwan and Mo Yiruo were talking, they saw a beautiful man in pink singing and singing. The graceful and light dance immediately attracted the audience's attention.
At the beginning, there were dozens of difficult rotational dance steps, dancing in layers of gorgeous dresses, like butterflies wearing flowers dancing among the flowers, with ribbons flying in their hands, sometimes high and sometimes low, and with the dancing breeze, the fragrance that belongs to the woman alone, making everyone intoxicated.
Just as the eunuch in charge reported the scene, Nalan Wan heard that Princess Mingyue was performing a dance. At this time, she couldn't help but look at the dancing figures in the venue with admiration. Princess of the Royal Family was indeed extraordinary.
The moment Princess Mingyue danced, the uneasy sight on the steps finally disappeared.
Nalan Wan raised her eyes and saw His Highness, who was domineering and talented, admired the beautiful woman's graceful and elegant dance steps in her starry eyes. She couldn't hide her marvel and praise. Her right fingertips hit the white jade stick table with the rhythm of the song, which was particularly leisurely and elegant.
Looking at His Royal Highness and the others, they also enjoyed the dance with relish, immersed in it, and lost in it.
Nalan Wan curled the corners of her lips slightly, mocked her a little, and complained in her heart. After she finished her talent, she must have that romantic guy would not pay attention to her anymore.
"Please give Miss Nalan Wan, daughter of General Nalan, to perform." Time passed slowly in the wonderful performances of all the ladies. When the eunuch in charge spoke to Nalan Wan's performance with his sharp voice, dozens of eyes in the hall showed a look of surprise and attention.
As an official in the same dynasty, many people knew that General Nalan had a precious daughter, but because he was weak and sick, he stayed in the mansion and stayed in his house and never saw him.
This time, Emperor Yongding's birthday was ordered to attend the family of all officials. As the legitimate daughter, as long as Nalan Wan was not terminally ill, he could not resist the order. Until this time, everyone remembered that there was a person like the sick lady in the capital. Many wives and ladies in the Chaoyang Hall had seen Nalan Wan, but it was obvious that it was the first time that everyone and the princes of various prefectures saw her, and they were particularly concerned about it.
Seeing that on the seat in front of the second row of the female guest seat, a slender girl wearing a royal blue gauze stood up softly with a refreshing and casual lily bun. Many people's expectant eyes calmed down in an instant, and it turned out...but that's it.
Some even sighed softly, as if thinking of the late general's wife. How could such a pure and elegant woman give birth to such a simple and unpretentious daughter?
Of course, Nalan Wan's face was not ugly at this time, but her delicate and beautiful facial features were much less beautiful under the pale complexion she tried to cover up. In addition, her slightly stiff and nervous look was too ordinary. Compared with her peerless mother, she was instantly compared and was not worth mentioning.
Apart from her face, her figure is rare, tall and exquisite, but when everyone sees it, they can only think of her weakness and pathology. It has nothing to do with beauty, let alone being smart and outsmart.
It was indeed her! The sick lady of the General's Mansion, Ye Shurui's...fiancee. But when he saw her in the Imperial Garden, his pure and innocent face did not look like he was about to fall when the wind blew!
Ye Shurui narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something. He touched the handsome man in a light yellow dark dragon pattern robe beside him with his elbow, and inquired without saying a word: "Mingzhao, is this your sick cousin? You have never seen her once when you visited the old general in the past few years?"
The late Empress Nalan is the biological mother of Prince Mingzhao, and the deceased Empress Nalan is the legitimate sister of General Nalan Huai. Therefore, Nalan Wan is the perfect cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At this time, Prince Mingzhao was also looking at his cousin who had only met once four years ago. The memory was unclear, but his eyes that had never seen emotions showed a trace of novelty, and there was a faint excitement that was difficult to detect. This was the relative left by the queen of the mother! Unfortunately, the girl in front of him was too ordinary and could not be seen in the blink of an eye.
After hearing Ye Shurui's inquiry, Prince Mingzhao frowned slightly, turned his head and said calmly: "What are you asking about this? Don't make any decisions about her, she won't be the type you like."
"Do you know which type I like?" Ye Shurui curled the corners of his lips evilly. Before he could do anything, he got a warning on his head. He was really a loss and snorted coldly in his heart.
but--
Ye Shurui narrowed his eyes as bright as a sea of stars again, muttering in his heart, hoping that it would be him who would make her decision, not her.
When he was very young, Nalan Wan was just born, and the Jinwang Mansion and the General Mansion made a marriage contract. Before he could make it public, General Nalan Huai's family moved to the border. It was twelve years later that he realized that his fiancée was actually a sick person.
Prince Mingzhao looked at the ordinary girl who was walking towards the sandalwood table in the field. Although the light was dim, a feeling of intimacy suddenly arose in his heart. Perhaps this is the blood between relatives that is thicker than water, and the blood of the Nalan family flows on them.
Although his uncle is a general, Nalan Huai has never been close to him or distant to avoid suspicion. Now, this cousin with an ordinary temperament makes him feel unconsciously warm.
He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He glanced at Ye Shurui, who was rolling his eyes beside him and was making a fool of himself. "The girl you like is charming and charming, each with its own charm, but he only disdains the green vegetables and carrots. My cousin is so simple and unpretentious, so he can't catch your precious eyes. Why do you need to inquire more?"
It seems that Prince Mingzhao is not aware of the engagement between Prince Jin's Mansion and General's Mansion.
"Tsk tsk, I mean, Zhao, you have never seen this girl before, right? Why have you just met and you haven't even recognized relatives with others? You just tried every means to protect it. This is not your style!" Ye Shurui ignored Prince Mingzhao's warning and continued to say to himself, "I think this girl might have some meaning!"
Unconsciously, because of the engagement, he had already begun to examine and judge Nalan Wan in his heart. He was not the one who would marry a woman back home casually!
"It's up to you, you don't like it anyway." Prince Mingzhao was stunned, and then smiled indifferently, "Put it cleanly, what a little girl, you are only two years older than your late cousin."
Ye Shurui tsk twice, without answering, narrowed his eyes again and again, staring at the person who picked up the pen and ink in the field and wrote seriously, but he was thinking in his heart that he had never seen the lady from the General's Mansion before, why did this girl look familiar? Have they seen her?
While still thinking, Nalan Wan had already put down the wolf hair in her hand and lowered her eyebrows and retreated happily.
Now that I have finished writing? Ye Shurui was stunned again. This girl had only written a few words. When the ceremony officer picked up the works written by Nalan Wan to display them, the hall suddenly became silent.
When Ye Shurui saw the big words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless for a moment.
There are only four big characters in simple words - Wanshou Wuwang. The characters written are like hers, and they cannot find any mistakes, but they are not outstanding at all. They are just regular and playful and elegant, and they cannot imagine anything ugly.
Ye Shurui looked at the words and looked at Nalan Wan. He couldn't say anything wrong, but he always felt that something was wrong. This is the emperor's birthday, not Lord Li and Lord Zhang, nor is it a cat or a dog's birthday. The girl from the Nalan family can just write a few words casually to be considered a birthday gift? Girl, are you too casual?
Nalan Wan stepped aside respectfully, with a somewhat pale face calm and calm, and his eyes were slightly lowered. This description was more like... not taking it seriously. Does she have this courage? Illusion, this must be an illusion, how could he have such an illusion!
"I haven't seen you for many years. I remember that when I saw you last time, I just came back from the border with General Nalan, I was so thin that I looked so long. Is these four words a bit less character, but the key is that they are auspicious, so it's hard for you to come to the palace today." Emperor Yongding suddenly spoke, and the smile in his eyes remained unabashed.
Nalan Wan seemed to have not expected the emperor to talk to her. She was at a loss for a moment, and then slowly bowed and said, "Thank you for your inquiries. My daughters often cannot learn calligraphy and skills because of her illness and weakness. They often only practice three or five times in a month, so they have no talent to show off now. They neglect the emperor's birthday and ask the emperor to forgive their crimes."
"Look at this girl, what do you say! By seniority, you should call me uncle. What kind of thing is that you forgive me or not? You are so disgusted." The emperor seemed to find Nalan Wan's words funny, and said a few more words, then turned around and asked General Nalan, "What kind of disease is Wan girl? Why has she been raising her for so many years but still not getting better?"
