Lin Yueying randomly picked a lady who could play the zither from the circle of young ladies. After giving her a simple explanation, she stood on the round platform.
The sound of the zither came out and became a soothing tune, like big and small beads dancing on a jade plate, well-arranged.
Lin Yueying's figure moved slightly, and her wide sleeves fluttered in the wind. In the moonlight, she was as beautiful as jade, like the celestial clouds in the sky, changing at will. Everyone followed the celestial music and dance, as if they had suddenly entered the Feast of Peaches. What they saw was also the appearance of a celestial being, agile and elegant. Everyone pursed their lips and held their breaths, afraid that their breathing would be too heavy to startle the dancing celestial beings.
As the music grew longer, Lin Yueying suddenly stepped forward. Her wide sleeves fluttered once again. They were no longer white, but black.
The white sleeves, the black ink, and the delicate figure on the round platform were one. Everyone watched as she used the sleeves to print the ink on the silk gauze. That part had gradually become a painting.
Not a single drop of ink came out.
The entire process was done in one go, and it immediately dazzled everyone's eyes. Everyone was immersed in the atmosphere for a long time before they could recover.
It was only when Lin Yueying finished her dance that everyone came to their senses and praised her.
"Ah…the cloud sleeves are dyed with ink, and the waving of them forms a painting.”
"How can it be summarized by the word 'high'? In my opinion, it's extremely wonderful.”
"Yes, the dance was graceful, as if an immortal had arrived. The ink painting was extraordinary, and the empress was even better.”
Everyone was drunk, and Chu Huaijin, who was sitting at the head of the table, was no exception.
He wore a long brocade robe and looked at the woman sitting in the middle of the round plate with a dignified look. She was wearing a moon-white long dress and was dressed simply, but her aura was like she was in the clouds. Every frown and smile of hers was like a fairy.
For a moment, he was dazed. It was as if he had seen the young girl in a white dress, with her hair combed into a double bun, with an innocent and cute smile on her face.
"Brother Jin, look, this is your favorite orchid. I planted it myself.”
"Yes, but no matter how beautiful they are, they are not as beautiful as my shadow…"
……
" Emperor…Old minister…" Lin Mocheng saw that everyone was praising his daughter, but their Emperor only stared at her with a faint gaze. He did not know what he was thinking, but the deep meaning in his eyes was so deep that it made people afraid.
" Cough cough…" Chu Huaijin was disturbed by Lin Mocheng and instantly regained his senses. The woman in front of him was still from the Lin family that he hated. She was not the shadow in his memory.
His sharp eyes swept down, and the eyes of the others all revealed their admiration and respect for her.
Even the Beichen envoy, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, was stunned.
Looking at her, it was as if she was not the Queen of the West Chu, but a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. His gaze was thought-provoking, and the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally, making his heart burn with anger.
He glared unhappily, and the light in his eyes turned into a sharp blade. Those who understood the situation immediately took the lead and shouted long live. Everyone reacted and followed suit.
"Long live my emperor, long live my empress, long live my empress.”
The sound of mountains collapsing and the earth shattering rang out. Only then did Chu Huaijin realize that this was not their palace, but in front of all the civil and military officials. There were even foreign envoys present. He quickly regained his dignity as an emperor.
"This emissary suddenly thinks that the empress of this country has personally come. Do you have any objections?”Chu Huaijin was definitely not an easy person to talk to. His sharp eyes suddenly froze, and he put on a fake smile.
"Your country truly lives up to its reputation. Mei Ji lost, but to your country's Empress, even though she lost, it was still an honorable loss.”He suddenly realized that he was not only an arrogant person, but also a rather thick-skinned person.
It meant that although they had admitted defeat, they, a mere dancer, had lost to the Empress of the West Chu Country. This was not bad.
"A loss is a loss, and a win is a win." Chu Huaijin jumped up. He couldn't stand the way suddenly Si was staring at Lin Yueying. He raised his hand and held Lin Yueying's hand.
"The Empress 'song shocked everyone. I'm afraid she's tired. Zhen will accompany the Empress back to the palace to rest.”
Chu Huaijin's hands that were holding Lin Yueying's seemed gentle, but the pain in his waist was only felt by Lin Yueying.
She didn't want to worry her father, so she left with Chu Huaijin with a stiff smile on her face.
As soon as she walked out of Longevity Hall, Chu Huaijin flung her aside and said coldly,""Hmph, so what if we win? Did you hear what the Beichen envoy said?”
Lin Yueying's pale face suddenly turned red."" You…" She bit her lip in embarrassment. Seeing that the man in front of her did not care about her at all, she decided to give up and raised her chin."Emperor, is this praise? ChenQie doesn't care about comparing with others. This is to win glory for West Chu. ChenQie has no regrets.”
"What a good 'no regrets.' Zhen hates the Lin family's appearance of no regrets the most.”
When Lin Mocheng, that old thing, opposed his political views in the court and was about to be punished by him, he would stand up straight in front of all the civil and military officials and say that he, Lin Mocheng, was the West Chu for life. No matter how the Emperor punished him, he would have no regrets.
Only the heavens knew how he would deal with him. He was the prime minister of the West Chu, and his power was overwhelming. In his palace, there were only two powerful women, both of whom had the surname Lin. Everyone in the court would give their Lin family some face.
He dared to say that if he really complied with Lin Mocheng's request and punished him, then in just a moment, those persuasion memorials would fly like snowflakes all over his royal study.
" Your Majesty, if you are dissatisfied with me, just say it. Why…" Why did you learn the cold words and mockery of others?
However, Chu Huaijin did not allow her to continue speaking. He raised his hand roughly and grabbed her lapel. Her moon-white dress was so white that it lit up his eyes. Time had turned back, and he seemed to see her when she was a young girl again.
He suppressed the frustration in his heart, shook her off, and entered the inner hall.
Lin Yueying stood alone by the round door frame and watched the bright yellow light disappear under the light.
The moonlight was faint, like eyebrows and hooks. Her lips curled up bitterly, and her smile was comparable to a golden thread.
Shen Pan 'er, who had been forgotten in the side hall because she had fainted, heard their conversation clearly through the carved wooden door that was not closed.
She held the brocade handkerchief tightly in her hand, her long nails cutting through the fine silk feathers of the Shu embroidery. Listening to the hissing sound, she had an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
Tonight, Lin Yueying was in the limelight. When she thought of the disappointment in the Emperor's eyes when he looked at her, her heart ached.
His palm slid down his lower abdomen and gently caressed it. His slightly thick lips did not move. Lin Yueying, Lin Yueying…Just wait and see.#
