"Master, didn't the emperor agree to hold a martial arts competition? Now the royal princes from all over the world have gathered in the western suburbs of the capital, and everyone has begun to prepare for the war. But today is the first day, and they held a gathering, so
I specially come to invite the fifth prince to attend, so that we all can get to know each other."
"Oh? If that's the case, then I must arrive, otherwise how can I enjoy the benefits of being a landlord?"
"Haha, okay, that's it, I'll take my leave first." After the Prince of Persia finished speaking, he had the jewelry delivered to Duoduo's house and left first.
Wow... It would be great if I could follow him. I could see princes from all over the world, and maybe catch one or two handsome and young ones... Duoduo's eyes were filled with peach blossoms unconsciously, and his whole body was in a void of imagination.
Seeing the evil spirit, Nangong Jie wanted to slap her, but he was afraid that she would come after her and he was no match.
"What? Do you want to go?" Nangong Jie asked with squinting eyes.
"Tch, who cares?" Duoduo rolled her eyes at him, then went into the room, closed the door, and continued to sleep, because she knew that since it was a royal gathering, it would be attended by princes and nobles, and they would also bring their real wives, and she was nothing.
.
"Oh, I thought you wanted to go, so I took you to see it, but it turns out you're not interested." Nangong Jie said, shaking his head, turning around and walking back.
"What? Can I really go?" Duoduo opened the door with a bang and said, "You just said you would take me to see it?"
Nangong Jie teased: "Huh? Didn't someone just say that it's not rare at all? Why did it change so quickly?"
"I...I said it's not rare, but since you invite me so sincerely, then it's okay to go and go, what do you think?"
"Haha, it's so shameless..." Nangong Jie finished speaking and left, while also leaving the next sentence: "Wait for me, I will naturally call you when I go to the party."
As a result, not long after, Nangong Jie did not break his promise. He brought her some beautiful clothes and asked her to put them on. Then he took her with him and took a carriage to the western suburbs.
"Hey, weren't you supposed to take Princess Mu with you? Aren't you afraid that people will be angry and attack you in the middle of the night?" While Duoduo was happy in her heart, she also didn't forget to tease him a few words.
"No one will say you are mute if you don't speak." Nangong Jie sat next to her, with a serious look on his face, a serious look on his face, and he seemed to be a different person than usual.
Duoduo finally saw his mature and steady side and thought that this guy would still be able to accomplish something in the future. It seemed that his son did not need to worry about his future life.
On the western outskirts of the capital, many temporary tents were set up in a five-mile area. Judging from the shape, size, and color patterns of the tents, it is easy to distinguish the mainstream colors and totem beliefs of different countries.
The royal gathering was held in the largest tent. When Nangong Jie took Duoduo in, everyone had been waiting for a long time. When they saw them arriving, they all stood up to say hello.
People say that a husband is more valuable than a wife, and today Duoduo finally realized it. Although she is not his wife, as long as she stands by his side, she will win a lot of envy and respect.
Duoduo was very happy, because it was his first time to attend such a grand event, and all the people sitting there were royal family members, and the women they brought with them were all women with outstanding appearance and excellent temperament.
The women cast friendly glances at Duoduo one after another, and Duoduo frequently smiled back.
Don't say that so and so is indifferent to fame and wealth, or that so and so yearns for the ordinary.
In fact, women are somewhat vain in their hearts. Although Duoduo is just a housekeeper, attending such an upper-class gathering really makes her feel a little flattered and dizzy.
"You two, please sit over here." Someone led them to a seat in the middle.
Duoduo did a rough scan and found that the princes from the royal family were indeed more handsome than ordinary people. Maybe it had something to do with the etiquette they had received since childhood. Many princes also looked at her, seeming to be interested in her.
It was also a pleasure to attend.
This is exactly what Duoduo wants. She likes that feeling. Before she traveled through time, she had never been the center of attention in school. Even if she was the center of attention occasionally, she was surrounded by a pitiful atmosphere. Everyone saw her as
The cripples gathered around her to watch.
But today was different. She dared to say that those men must be very fond of her. She could tell from their eyes. The only thing that made her feel sick was that Nangong Ao also came to the party and sat next to her and Nangong Jie.
next to.
"Everyone, since you have come to my territory, as a landowner, I would like to toast you all. I wish you all will gain something from this trip to the Southern Dynasties. Cheers!"
"Second Prince, we are here to honor you too, do it!" Princes from all over the world raised their glasses, and Nangong Jie also stood up and drank from his glasses. However, he was also a prince of the Southern Dynasty, so his low profile was completely overshadowed by Nangong Ao's brilliance.
, I don’t know if it was because of a guilty conscience or cowardice, but at once the royal family members of various countries felt the disparity in power between the two princes in the Southern Dynasties. They could tell who was stronger and who was weaker at a glance.
However, Duoduo really likes Nangong Jie's performance. He is calm and leisurely. When someone proposes a toast, he smiles in return. When no one proposes a toast, he is happy and at ease.
Of course, wine is indispensable without women. All the women brought by royal princes from all over the world are good at singing and dancing. Their waists are as slender as willows swinging in the wind, their dance steps are as quiet and moving as a rafting boat, and with light music, their sleeves billow like clouds and waves. There is so much to see.
I was dazzled and felt admiration in my heart.
These women must have received rigorous training since childhood, so every movement is performed very delicately and flawlessly.
But thinking about it from another angle, Duoduo thinks they are quite pitiful. Why are they working so hard? Just to please the men in front of them?
Duoduo sat next to Nangong Jie and followed other women's example, trying her best to pour wine for Nangong Jie with graceful movements. Then she would occasionally pick up the wine glass and shyly cover it with her sleeves to take a sip.
She never thought that one day she would attend such a party with a man.
She started to get a little drunk, because Nangong Jie would occasionally turn around to pour her wine, ask her softly if she was feeling well, and give her some side dishes, with gentle movements and intimate eyes, so she was a little drunk.
It wasn't because she was drunk, but because Nangong Jie's attitude towards her changed so quickly that she never imagined that it would be so beautiful.
She couldn't have imagined it...but what she couldn't even imagine was yet to come.
At the end of the song, the princess from Northern Xinjiang bowed down to thank her. Thunderous applause immediately erupted in the big tent, especially Duoduo, whose two little hands were numb from clapping, because she was so happy in her heart. When she was happy,
Everyone is pleasing to the eye, except of course Nangong Ao!
"Prince Jie, the princess is so beautiful and elegant. She must be good at singing and dancing. Why not let her perform a Southern Dynasties dance for everyone to add to the fun?" someone suggested.
Duoduo panicked and quickly kicked Nangong Jie beside her, asking him to help block it. Do you want her to dance? Or Nanchao dance? Then just kill her.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Jie suddenly pushed her to the middle of the empty tent with a strong hand.
"You!" Duoduo, who was almost unsteady on his feet, looked at Nangong Jie in shock, wondering what the hell he was doing!
Nangong Jie, who had been silent all this time, then smiled and said, "Just dance. Since many princes want to see you dance so much, wouldn't it spoil everyone's fun if you don't dance?"
"But I can't..." Duoduo gritted his teeth and whispered to Nangong Jie.
As if Nangong Jie didn't hear her words, he poured half a glass of wine, drank it down, and clapped his hands.
Many of the royal family members also clapped and cheered in order to watch Duoduo's graceful dance. Duoduo's mind went blank and he wanted to just walk back, but now that everyone was looking forward to it, if he didn't do something, he would be embarrassed.
"Everyone, today, I'd better perform a sword dance to show off my humiliation." Duoduo said, nodded politely, and hooked his fingers towards Nangong Jie. Nangong Jie seemed to have had the foresight to do it before she could speak.
He raised his hand and threw the long sword over.
"Hey..." Duoduo did a beautiful somersault on the spot and kicked sideways in the direction the sword came from. The scabbard was instantly peeled off and flew out of the tent, and the sword body just fell into Duoduo's hand, immediately causing a stir.
There was a burst of exclamation.
The accompanist began to play the ancient heavy harp to cheer her up. Duo Duo clenched her long sword and flipped her wrist in response to the deep and powerful gu harp music, bringing out a snow-white sword flower.
The shadow of the sword followed him at an orderly pace, and the streamers on his clothes fluttered in the wind of the sword. Many people were stunned to see it, especially the Prince of Persia, who couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded.
"Okay..." Nangong Jie also shouted, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth seemed to hide some ulterior secret.
Duoduo heard that Nangong Jie was also applauding her, and an inexplicable feeling of joy came from her heart.
She sped up the rotation of her body. Although she had never learned any dance, perhaps because her predecessor had some skills in this area, she felt more and more light in her body, and her steps could actually follow the wind patterns similar to dance steps.
The sword light and dance steps began to be combined brilliantly on her body, which even she had not thought of beforehand.
"Okay..." Everyone around couldn't help but burst into cheers.
Duoduo jumped more and more smoothly, and occasionally when he paused, he would cast a few winks at those handsome faces to express his affection.
"Ah!" Duoduo suddenly exclaimed, her dance steps suddenly stiffened, and her face changed slightly.
How could this happen? She felt a sudden pain on the back of her hand. Could it be a skin allergy caused by eating something unclean?
Duoduo just thought about it for a moment and didn't pay too much attention to it. He continued to beat his steps and dance forward, thinking that he would be done with just a few more moves. Some things are more important in their excitement than in their length.
But at this moment, the sword came out with a roar and was firmly inserted into the wooden coffee table in front of the prince of Northern Xinjiang. The sword was still shaking.
"What's going on?" Many princes suddenly stood up at the same time and looked at Nangong Jie.
Nangong Jie's face felt embarrassed, and he quickly walked over, pulled out the sword and threw it out of the tent, saying: "I'm ashamed, this is an accident, purely an accident. I have long thought that the sword is a murder weapon and is somewhat unlucky.
But I couldn’t bear to throw it away, alas, today I finally made this decision.”
"Hmph, I think you have ulterior motives and let your woman take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate you? What grudge do I have against you?"
"Hahaha……"
Nangong Ao suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Oh, Prince of Northern Xinjiang, you are serious. How could I, the Great Southern Dynasty, assassinate a guest? What happened today is all the fault of that bitch. She was not good at dancing, but she harmed the master.
.”
"No, it was just because..."... "No, it was just because..." Duoduo felt so embarrassed. She wanted to explain what happened just now, but she couldn't because the sudden pain was inexplicable.
"Ouch!" Duoduo suddenly jumped like a convulsion and slapped himself in the face.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Many people started pointing, and someone took the opportunity to ask: "Fifth Prince, Madam Your Majesty, this is..."
"Madam? Hahaha, that's wrong, she is not the wife of the Fifth Emperor's brother, she is just a servant in the mansion." Nangong Ao took the opportunity to gloat.
"What? A servant comes out with the master, isn't he afraid of being embarrassed? Fifth Prince, this can't be true, can it?" A woman began to express contempt.
Duoduo's scalp felt numb and she fainted. What happened to the servant? Can't the servant attend the party? Besides, I am... Duoduo thought about it and cast a look at Nangong Jie for help, hoping that he could save some face for her, such as
Said she was the royal housekeeper personally appointed by the emperor or something like that.
After Nangong Jie and Duoduo's eyes met, he understood what she meant, smiled, and said: "What's real or fake? She was just a maid in my house, and she had a child. She was just a maid.
When my father gave her a small title, I thought I was a crow flying on a branch and turned into a phoenix, insisting on following me to attend the party. I couldn't resist her persistence, so I had to bring her here."
"Hahahaha...I see, no wonder the dance is so ugly and the movements are so rude!" The prince of an unknown country burst out laughing, full of irony.
Duoduo's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he couldn't help but cast a resentful look at Nangong Jie, but Nangong Jie turned a blind eye and continued to joke: "It's okay to be rude, people have to be self-aware, but she really thinks of herself as a prince."
She wants to be the master of me all day long. Who knows if she wants to be a princess?"
"Tch...this woman is really hateful. From the outside, I thought she was a lady, but she turns out to be such a dirty thing!"
"Go away, shameless woman!"
"What are you looking at? We are all royal guests here. People like you don't just come in casually. Go back where you came from. Don't make a fool of yourself here!"
The women accused the woman in the performance venue one after another, and even went so far as to throw confetti at the woman.
Duoduo was spinning for a while. He would never have imagined such a scene. He looked at Nangong Jie angrily and found that he was smiling at her.
She felt such intense humiliation that her face turned red, and she turned around and left.
"Wait!" Nangong Ao suddenly said: "You want to leave like this? I heard that you are very good at fighting, and even men can't beat you. Today, let everyone open their eyes!"
After Nangong Ao finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword and swung it towards the woman in the field!
The silver long sword shot out. Duoduo jumped up and kicked the hilt of the sword. The long sword changed its direction and shot straight through the roof of the tent before disappearing.
And at the moment of landing, someone threw the broad beans on the coffee table to the ground. Duoduo stepped on the beans. He couldn't stand steadily, and he was so angry that he fell to his feet with a snap.
"Hahahaha...hahahahaha..." Nangong Ao took the lead and laughed, followed by everyone applauding and laughing. Everyone regarded the woman in the field as the butt of the joke and threw all kinds of things at her.
something.
Nangong Jie just looked at it, smiled, raised his head, and poured the strong wine in the cup into his throat. A burning feeling quickly spread to his heart - ah... it feels so good!
If she doesn’t cry, she must not cry. She must not shed tears for a man who treats her casually. It’s not worth it. It’s really not worth it... She doesn’t know how Duoduo got out of the big tent. She only remembers that everyone laughed at her.
When he threw confetti at her, the man still had a smile on his face!
"Hey, wait, master..." Prince of Persia chased after him.
"Don't come here!" Duoduo was already in tears at this time. She didn't want anyone to see her such a fragile side, so she would rather run all the way and let her tears fall in the wind than let others see the joke.
"Teacher-" Prince of Persia could not keep up with her speed, so he could only watch her back gradually disappear in front of him.
Duoduo kept running, until she ran back to the capital, she slowed down. She was tired, her whole body seemed to fall apart, and she was lost. She really didn't want to move, but the spineless tears still poured out and ran down her cheeks.
Drops fell on the chest.
How could he do this, how could he make her look embarrassed in public? Even if she had done something to him, he would not deliberately humiliate her!
Fortunately, she once thought that sitting next to him would feel like happiness. Fortunately, she still naively thought that she and her son could form a happy family of three with him. Fortunately, she still tried hard to force him to make progress.
He broke through and became the overlord of a party... But now I think about it, I am really an idiot, a super invincible idiot. Not only do people not appreciate it, but they also treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, making you embarrassed in public and trampling on your self-esteem wantonly!
The more Duoduo thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and suddenly he shouted in the street: "Qianduoduo, you are a bitch, a bitch, a super invincible bitch..."
Duoduo suddenly felt tired. She thought of her master. She once thought she was so strong and never shed a tear even if she was being chased. But today she was so unlucky.
This time she went down the mountain with the intention of taking revenge, but she wanted to back out. She found that she didn't like the capital at all, especially the people there.
"Girl, if you...if you want to cry, find another place to cry. I still have business to do." An old man selling sesame cakes at a stall said in a low voice.
