A beautiful and scantily clad exotic woman standing in front of the restaurant is full of beauty and arouses people's imagination. Coupled with a cold yet handsome man, it is an eye-catching perfect match and an unparalleled story. But Bai Qige stopped there. There is a hideous scar on the side of his unattractive appearance. But two women who are worlds apart show the persistence of a man at the same time. That is a funny show and a ridiculous story.
The three of them only said a few words, which aroused a lot of discussion among the people watching. Some laughed at Bai Qige's ugly appearance and wanted to embarrass herself. Some made bets on whether Ruan Yanluo was the one who won the love of the fireworks woman. Some even did not know what was going on. Then he angrily scolded Yi Chenjing for being careless and careless. Rumors spread all over the small area. All eyes were focused on the three people.
"If you have anything to say, go in and talk." Yi Chenjing hated being stared at like this. She pulled Bai Qige and started to walk towards the restaurant. Before she even stepped through the door, a half-questioned exclamation suddenly came from the crowd.
"Isn't this the prince general? I saw him in front of Yizhuang that day."
When they broke through Yi Chenxuan's siege and broke into the imperial capital, Yi Chenjing and others fought fiercely with the enemy in front of Yizhuang. Many people saw it and were implicated. However, at that time, several people's bodies were covered with blood and their faces were dirty. It was obvious to see It wasn't very obvious, so it took a long time for someone to notice it.
The exclamation quickly caused the crowd to fluctuate. The whispers became louder and louder. Yi Chenjing frowned slightly and wanted to disappear from everyone's eyes to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, many innocent people were injured in that fierce battle. He didn't want to As soon as he became the prince, he was criticized by his subjects.
However, the development of the matter was far beyond his expectation. After more and more people confirmed the identities of him and Bai Qige, the cheers gradually turned into uniform cheers.
"It's the crown prince and his concubine. The prince general and his war concubine. The prince general is a thousand years old. The war concubine is a thousand years old."
War concubine... Bai Qige burst into laughter. Why did even the people of Dayao know this title? They thought it was just a joke among the military. Unexpectedly, it spread.
There was nothing he could do about being recognized. He couldn't lie and deny. Yi Chenjing had to turn around and nodded, helplessly answering the question. Bai Qige stood quietly behind him, smiling at the excitement caused by Yi Chenjing's first public appearance. sensation.
The people respect him. This is not a bad thing.
Obviously, Ruan Yanluo did not expect such a situation to happen. He looked at Bai Qige in surprise. His tone could not tell whether it was jealousy or envy: "I didn't expect that you have such a high status in the hearts of the people."
"If you don't have a skin that attracts attention, then you can only protect the country for the people and protect our country." Bai Qige replied lightly, with a clear meaning. "Those who offend our country are those who want to destroy our country. I and I Chen Jing will definitely use his sword and ride his horse to kill him in order to bring peace to the world."
Ruan Yanluo did not reply with sonorous and powerful words. He smiled and walked into the restaurant first. When he turned around, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
In the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, the people of the imperial capital were not too shocked and excited to see the royal family. In other words, they were a little more excited when they saw the prince general and the legendary war concubine who were rumored to protect the distant country's territory from outsiders. After Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing both entered the restaurant, they lost interest. The crowd dispersed.
The beaded curtain on the window of the private room on the second floor of the restaurant was lowered silently. The man standing by the window turned around and said with emotion: "It is really better for the seventh brother to be the prince. I used to be looked down upon wherever I went."
Several young people in the private room were laughing loudly. Without Emperor Yao around, these princes were not so restrained. They only laughed and talked about important family and national affairs.
"Please follow me upstairs. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already here." The tall and thin Ji Sanqian suddenly appeared at the door and said in a non-respectful tone.
The prosperous capital has no shortage of luxurious and prosperous places. This Yunxiang Restaurant is an example. It looks like an ordinary restaurant from the outside, but there is something special inside. The first floor is the lobby where ordinary diners gather. The second floor is a beautifully decorated private room. The third floor It is closed on weekdays. Only those who can afford it can enter. This room occupies half of the third floor. Although it is not as good as the carved beams and paintings of the palace, it is still meticulous and elegant. The walls are hung with famous paintings and calligraphy, and the best tea is placed on the table. Even the tables and chairs are made of the most expensive wood, made and carved by the most famous masters in the imperial capital.
"It seems that Yanhu Country is not as barren as Ji Huwei said. Even if we come here, our father will scold us as extravagant and wasteful." Someone among the princes joked.
"It's such an unjust death. I, Yan Hu, have to starve many people to save money for this banquet." Ruan Yanluo said and moved closer to Yi Chenjing. He didn't pay attention to Bai Qige who was beside him. "If it hadn't been today. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, comes here as a favor. I will definitely feel sad that this money is not worth it. I have given the shop owner a free advantage."
The princes booed again. Only a few of them who were smarter and more aware of current affairs kept silent. They quietly watched the good show brought by Ruan Yanluo, with quite a sense of expectation. Yi Chenjing was not good at dealing with women. Especially for women like Ruan Yanluo who are proactive and bold. No matter how Bai Qige fights back, she can only be blocked by soldiers. If Ruan Yanluo wants to flatter her or express her true feelings, she can only watch and have no control over it. An awkward banquet ends. They didn't talk much about the mission to the alliance. They basically listened to Ruan Yanluo praising Yi Chenjing and implicitly belittling Bai Qige. Other than that, Bai Qige responded sharply. Yi Chenjing was exhausted both physically and mentally.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very lack of energy. That's good. Yanluo takes this opportunity to perform a dance just for His Highness the Crown Prince. How about." The enchanting figure jumped to the center of the table. Ruan Yanluo smiled charmingly, with a pair of smart eyes. The waves in his eyes were flowing, causing all the princes to cheer in agreement. Seeing that Yi Chenjing didn't even look at her and said, "It's up to you", Ruan Yanluo's eyes turned and jumped to Bai Qige. His smile became a little deeper: "It is said that Zhongzhou has outstanding people. The women are all extremely beautiful and versatile. I think she must be even better to be the crown princess. Yanluo is not talented. I would like to invite Princess Qi'an to dance with me so that my short-sighted guard can see what he has to say. Ask someone to stay outside so that he won't always stare at me."
Ji Sanqian was standing by with an expressionless face. After hearing Ruan Yanluo's words, his face instantly turned red. He lowered his head and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. The expression of embarrassment made Zhan Ting chuckle.
Zhan Ting could laugh, but Yi Chenjing couldn't. The other princes also stopped smiling and felt nervous.
Everyone has seen Ruan Yanluo's dancing skills. He is not the best in Zhongzhou, but he is still a master. And they all know that Bai Qige is not good at singing and dancing. It is obvious who wins and loses in the dance duel between the two. Failure in the dance is a trivial matter, but face is a big matter. Yao Yao The emperor attaches great importance to face. If he knew that Bai Qi would lose face if he lost the singing and dancing dance, I am afraid that the newly settled Prince's East Palace would be in trouble again.
The eldest prince looked at Bai Qige blankly with his mouth half open. His expression was embarrassed and worried. It was not convenient for Yi Chenjing to come forward. The idea of letting this wanderer rescue Bai Qige for him was also abandoned. Instead, the ninth prince had an idea and smiled: "Princess Qi'an was not in good health some time ago. Her complexion has improved recently. Princess Yanluo should try some other competitions. If Princess Qi'an is so tired that she develops an old illness, our prince will be heartbroken."
"That's right. Princess Qi'an is sick, but no one will drink with us." The other princes hurriedly agreed.
The eldest prince scratched his ears: "Otherwise... we will have a drinking contest."
Ruan Yanluo's smile suddenly froze.
There is a drinking contest with Bai Qige. Only those who are hopelessly in love would make this choice. She is clearly a wine barrel in human skin.
The envoys from the five Monan countries who were shocked by Bai Qige's ferocious drinking at the reception banquet never mentioned wine. Even Ruan Yanluo, who boasted a good drinker, did not dare to say anything anymore. At this time, the eldest prince was really frightened when he proposed a wine fight. As soon as she jumped, she would naturally not choose to use her own shortcomings to compete with the enemy's strengths.
"We already had a wine fight last time at the Feng Feng Banquet. It would be boring to have a wine fight today. Why? His Highness the Crown Prince is reluctant to let Princess Qi'an show up. Or is he not confident in the dancing skills of the Dayao girl?"
After all, he was a man with a sharp tongue. In the blink of an eye, Ruan Yanluo changed the topic, from the terrible drinking fight back to the dance.
The provocation was obvious. Bai Qige would be short of breath if she didn't answer. How could she bow her head and admit defeat based on her character? But singing and dancing are indeed beyond her ability. Let alone Ruan Yanluo. Even ordinary Zhongzhou women can't compete. She is so strong that she has no chance of winning.
Seeing that Bai Qige and the others had expressions of embarrassment, Ruan Yanluo smiled charmingly. Without waiting for Bai Qige to accept or reject, he raised his hands high and began to dance along with Ji Sanqian's melodious flute.
Singing and dancing are entertainment. Moving between the two countries, government affairs become not so simple. Bai Qige seemed to hear the silent sneer of the domineering little country from the melodious flute sound. She even saw Ruan Yanluo's mocking eyes from the light dance steps. Yi Chenjing was burdened with helpless hardships. Every sound of the flute and every movement of the body turned into the light of swords and shadows. You came and went in the arena where gunpowder smoke was invisible.
Singing, dancing, swords...
Things that were originally unrelated were connected together. Suddenly, a glimmer of inspiration came to Bai Qige. The corners of her lips raised in a confident arc. Her strong figure jumped to Ruan Yanluo's side. The moment her sleeves flew, a cold light danced with it. Yi Chen Jing was stunned. He looked at Bai Qi's singer Zhong Wushi in disbelief. He probably guessed what she wanted to do.
What Bai Qige is holding is the Cuihuang Sword.
"The women of Zhongzhou are good at singing and dancing, and they are also full of unrestrained pride. Since Princess Yanluo has presented such charming and beautiful dance skills to His Highness, then Qi Ge will simply give her a sword dance to accompany her."
Shining eyes are bright and proud. In the bright eyes, you can vaguely see the afterimage of the heroic concubine on the battlefield in the past. Her unruly but neat and firm body is not as soft and graceful as the dancing girl, but it has unparalleled charm and grace. One move. One style. A dragon and a phoenix roaming around. Everyone watched mesmerized. Only the rich and melodious sound of the flute was not disturbed. It still flowed perfectly.
She is a special soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles. She is the queen of the Bai family, a famous general in Zhongzhou. The beauty of the singing and dancing girl cannot be reflected. Only the light of the sword and the majestic power can explain it. This is an ugly scar or ordinary appearance that cannot be buried. Proud soul.
Mind and body will never be dusty.
Perhaps they were too intoxicated. The princes, including Yi Chenjing, had forgotten that there was always a time when the music ended. After a very high pitch, the sound of the flute and the dance stopped abruptly. Only the cold light of Cuihuang Sword still flashed.
The bright light was like a flowing silver line across everyone's field of vision, piercing forward.
Not far away, there was the unsuspecting Princess Ruan Yanluo of Yanhu Kingdom.
