Chapter 587: Protect each other with your life! (1)
In the Imperial Palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the lanterns flickered.
The birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess is a very important event in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and its solemnity needs no explanation.
Preparations had begun in the palace several days in advance. How could the ordinary people know the undercurrent under the calm? They just thought that this was the princess's last birthday before she got married, and they all tried their best.
Fine wines, delicacies, and fruits of all kinds... were brought out one after another, filling countless tables in the square in front of Anning Palace.
All the civil and military officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty were present. Ordinary officials could only celebrate the princess's birthday from a distance in the square. Xiao Yao and others, who were envoys from the Chu Dynasty, and several important officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty were sitting under the steps of Princess Shengning in the palace.
.
There was still a purple bead curtain hanging in front of Princess Shengning. The officials in the court had obviously adapted to this situation and were not surprised. They just held up the wine one after another and congratulated the princess who pointed towards the country and the country.
When the music started, dancers filed into the palace, saluted and knelt down to Princess Shengning, and danced to the music.
The shadow of Yun Shang was extremely beautiful. Gu Yueming looked at the swirling long skirt of the lead dancer, but couldn't help but think of one person and the skirt that bloomed like peonies when she danced.
"Xiao Yao also offers a drink to Your Highness!" Taking the wine that Si Wuxie, who had transformed into an emperor, helped her fill, Xiao Yao smiled and held up the wine glass to Gu Yueming behind the curtain, "I wish Your Highness eternal youth.
I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any suitable gift for the princess, so please forgive me!"
Hearing her voice, Gu Yueming came back to his senses instantly, smiled across the curtain and said, "I have heard for a long time that the sound of Prime Minister's flute can summon hundreds of birds to worship. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to hear it today?!"
Xiao Yao smiled, "Xiao Yao couldn't ask for more!"
Taking the flute in her hand, she meditated for a moment, then played softly from her lips. The beautiful flute sound and melodious tune immediately filled the hall.
Gu Yueming made this suggestion just to pave the way for his plan tonight, so that the world would believe that Xiao Yao and Princess Sheng Ning have a very close friendship.
However, when she lowered her eyes slightly and played the flute music, listening to the flute sound full of emotion, and looking at her bright profile through the bead curtain, he was unconsciously moved by the sound of her flute.
The young man’s focused look is so beautiful!
After the song ended, the entire palace was silent.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The silence in the hall was broken by the sound of high-fives. A middle-aged man sitting on the first table on the right side under the steps of Gu Yueming slowly clapped his hands and stood up.
"The Prime Minister is worthy of being the son of Third Young Master Xiao. His singing skills are indeed extraordinary. I have long heard about Third Young Master Xiao's Hanxing Sword's unique achievements. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to compete with Prime Minister Xiao today?!"
Xiao Yao put the ink bamboo flute back into the flute bag on his waist and raised his eyes to look at the old man opposite him. He saw that the man looked upright and looked very familiar.
"This is Chu Wentian's uncle, Chu Jinglan!"
From behind, Si Wuxie's voice came softly.
Xiao Yao suddenly realized that she had killed Chu Wentian and Chu Jingyun's uncle and nephew before. Knowing that the Chu family would definitely not break up with her when she came to Southern Tang Dynasty, she had not seen any movement these days, so she temporarily
Putting the matter aside, it was unthinkable that the other party would challenge her at this time.
"If I read it correctly, you should be the current head of the Chu family, Mr. Chu Jinglan, right?!" Xiao Yao stood up and said, "Mr. Chu, are there any men in the Chu family?!"
"Prime Minister's good eyes!" Chu Jinglan puzzled his eyebrows, "I don't know what the Prime Minister asked what it was!"
Xiao Yao smiled with a Wen Run, "I just thought, if I accidentally killed Mr., after the Chu family was absolutely because of me, wouldn't Xiao Yao be the sinner of the Chu family, so we can try this comparison, and then click until the end of it!
