Nannuo Yao’s provocative eyes were very obvious. The people who noticed it were not only Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, but everyone who’s present.
Nannuo Yao announced in public that she would like to compete with the talented young ladies in the East. So, even if the emperor wanted to escape, he couldn’t do so. Of course, he hopes that some of the young ladies present will go up and try it. Lin Chujiu’s ident.i.ty was high, he couldn’t let her lose face, so as to his own children.
On the stage, the silver plate dance was still ongoing. Nannuo Yao jumps very well. Every step she takes was like stepping on a person’s heart. Her dance steps were as if a b.u.t.terfly dancing in a palm and will fly away the next second.
Seeing Nannuo Yao’s performance, a lot of people changed a heart. They think that Nannuo Yao was not only a proud person but also not simple.
After the dance was completed, Nannuo Yao gently jumped down and made her final speech in a proud way: “Huangshang, Huanghou niangniang, this is the silver plate dance of the south.”
It can be seen that Nannuo Yao spent a lot of physical energy. Because she spoke with a bit shortness in breath.
“The silver plate dance of the south is really remarkable. It’s simply amazing.” The Emperor took the lead of praise, then everyone followed by clapping their hands.
Good is good, bad is bad, Nannuo Yao could jump pretty well. They will not say any bad things about her performance.
“This princess’s performance is lacking. Huangshang, this princess will rest for a bit. Why don’t we ask a one or two east young ladies to exchange talents?” Nannuo Yao still maintained her straightforward character and didn’t show hesitation to offend other people.
“Precisely.” On the top, the Emperor smiled, but he was actually not happy inside his heart.
Nannuo Yao’s silver plate dance was great. The difficulty was quite high. It will be very difficult to surpa.s.s her.
After Nannuo Yao went down, the emperor asked which young ladies would like to show their talent. But, the young ladies who were so full of confidence earlier were now hesitating.
For everyone, dancing was only to please a man. It was never a compulsory talent for the young ladies. They only learned how to play chess, calligraphy, and painting. If they want to win over Nannuo Yao in a dance, it will be very difficult.
The emperor asked, but no one answered for a long time. However, the emperor was not in a hurry, he just sat quietly. He knew his palace officials will worry about this for him.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, General Ning Yuan’s daughter stood up and said: “Huangshang, this young lady wants to offer a sword dance, this young lady is asking for his highness’s permission.”
Nannuo Yao’s dance performance was full of shocking force, skill, and power. If they performed a soft and weak looking dance, everyone will feel less interested. Sword dance is just right.
“Go on.” When the emperor gave his permission, another young lady with a purple dress said she was willing to play guqin for General Ning Yuan’s daughter.
A sword can be a dry dance. Someone volunteered to perform, the emperor has no reason to disagree. Soon, the stage was emptied, and the palace servants took out a long sword and guqin.
When Nannuo Yao came back, the palace servant just placed the guqin,. The young lady in the purple dress tried the strings. General Ning Yuan’s daughter determined the song. As the young lady in purple dress gently plucked the strings, a smooth sound of the guqin sounded… …
Lin Chujiu doesn’t understand the elegance in the art of guqin. The owner of her body also doesn’t understand. So, Lin Chuju couldn’t tell the difference to others, she only knew that it sounded very nice.
When Xiao Tianyao looked at his side, he saw Lin Chujiu smiling. So, he didn’t say anything anymore. He just secretly added a bit force to his hand that was holding her hand tightly.
His w.a.n.gfei, he can bully her, but others cannot.
After the song ended, the emperor gave the two a reward, but there was no other evaluation. The two young ladies restlessly bow down their head and went back to their seats with heavy footsteps.
Lin Chujiu doesn’t understand the art of the dance, but she can see the people’s facial expression, that although the two young ladies perform well, it still can’t compare to Nannuo Yao’s silver plate dance.
There were many people who already feel embarra.s.sed, but Nannuo Yao still didn’t let go of the chance to provoke them. She said in a frantic way: “This is the performance of the talented young ladies of the East? I see this is the case!”
The Emperor didn’t pay any care to Nannuo Yao’s provocation, but it doesn’t mean the other young ladies in the east will also not. A little girl in a red dress stood up and said: “Dancing is nothing but vulgar actions to please men, and here you are acting how great you are.”
The little girl is the daughter of Princess Fushou Zhang, and currently sitting beside her, so she was acting spoiled.
Nannou Yao didn’t get angry when she heard this, instead, she sneered and said: “The silver plate dance is originally the Sheng Yuan Dynasty’s dance. Are you saying that Sheng Yuan Dynasty’s dance is an unpleasant thing?”
In this case, it was obvious that the little girl has no knowledge. But, the little girl still retorted back: “What Shen Yuan Dynasty? That country has long perished, but you people still used Shen Yuan Dynasty’s name to decorate your own facade. Princess Nannuo Yao, just because no one speaks of it, doesn’t mean that people don’t know what your father really is. He is nothing but a general. Does he think that by marrying an imperial princess of the south he’s now from a royal family and future descendants of the Sheng Yuan Dynasty?”
Just like Nannuo Yao, the little girl also speaks arrogantly and unruly. The two of them were like a needle in the eye.
Sheng Yuan Dynasty… … When Xiao Tianyao heard this, the light in his eyes dim, his hand that was holding Lin Chujiu’s hand unconsciously added force. Lin Chujiu felt in pain, so she turned her head to look at Xiao Tianyao, but he saw him in a daze.
Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but stared at Xiao Tianyao’s eyes and secretly pinched him: Why are you in a daze in such occasion?
Xiao Tianyao soon returned to his senses and shook his head towards Lin Chujiu, indicating that he was fine, but… …
The expression on his face was colder than before. Other people didn’t notice it, but Lin Chujiu, who was sitting beside him, discovered it.
Lin Chujiu knew that there must be something, but curiosity can kill a cat. She knew some things shouldn’t ask, even if she was curious.
When Nannuo Yao heard the little girl’s words, she stood up and said in angry words: “Since you look down on the silver plate dance of Sheng Yuan Dynasty, I am willing to compare with you in chess and painting. I will make you lose face today to understand.”
“Compared, who is afraid of who.” After she said those words, the little girl was shocked, she knew she should calm down. She wanted to repent, but Nannuo Yao didn’t let her do so: “Don’t dare to compare with this princess? Then, just admit defeat, this princess is too lazy to care about you.”
“Who don’t dare to compare? Who doesn’t know what kind of princess are you? Didn’t also Imperial Uncle Xiao said what kind of emperor your father is?” When the little girl refuted back, she didn’t forget to include Xiao Tianyao, so… …
Xiao Tianyao’s words were full of gunpowder but were mentioned once again. Even if the emperor wanted to fool everyone with words, it was too late, because Nannuo Yao already made a fuss and kicked the table in front of her: “You insulted my father, I want to fight with you!”
