Emperor Song and the Queen both looked at Tang Chuyao. Chi Yue was a little worried, but since Emperor Song didn't say anything, she didn't dare to say anything.
Emperor Song was actually very curious about what kind of woman could have won such favor from his regent?
He also sent people to investigate Tang Chuyao's matter, but the results made him frown.
Not only is she ugly and has no face, she grew up in Xiaoyao Valley and has never received any education or etiquette of a noble lady, let alone the art of music, chess, calligraphy and painting!
The one born was Yong Bo Tang Youze, a man without any achievements or talents, mediocre qualifications, the only thing he had to look up to was that he was a good ancestor!
However, Chi Yuandao's parents were stationed in the northern border and did not return to Beijing, so they did not take any special care of their granddaughter!
Even Concubine Chi in the palace rarely mentioned this niece in front of her, so when Wanyan Liyue proposed to compete with Tang Chuyao, Emperor Song did not speak for Tang Chuyao at all.
He wanted to see how this woman would respond to this kind of situation!
Tang Chuyao was not in a hurry when her name was called. She stood up and walked to the center of the hall, standing with Wanyan Liyue, and then respectfully saluted Emperor Song.
"Your Majesty, since Princess Wanyan has invited me, I will present my humble service!"
Emperor Song looked at Tang Chuyao's calm demeanor and felt that she was not as unruly as rumored. Instead, she looked more like a lady from a noble family with good manners. He made a good first impression and nodded in agreement.
Chi Yuandao and the others were very anxious. How could Yaoyao have any talent? She grew up in Xiaoyao Valley and apart from learning martial arts, she also had medical skills. How could she show them?
Gu Qingchen held the wine glass and looked gently at the figure in the center of the hall, not worried at all.
In fact, Tang Chuyao had expected that there would be people at the banquet who would embarrass her, so she had made preparations in advance.
So she asked Emperor Song for permission to change her clothes first, and Emperor Song agreed.
Wanyan Liyue sneered. Isn’t Tang Chuyao just an uneducated country girl who is pretending to be important?
After a while, Tang Chuyao took off her silk dress and put on a tight suit in moon-white color, which made her look more elegant.
Tang Chuyao walked up to Emperor Song and borrowed a sword from the guards beside the emperor.
Inside the hall, the lights were bright, and between the magnificent golden beams and pillars, there was a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the figure in white in the center of the hall.
Tang Chuyao was graceful, like a fairy stepping on clouds. Her black hair fell to her shoulders, tied up with a simple white ribbon. A few strands of hair fluttered gently in the breeze, adding a bit of agility and beauty. She held a sword in her hand, and the gems inlaid on the scabbard flashed a cool light under the light, complementing her white clothes.
As the melodious music sounded, the heroine gently drew her sword from its sheath, and the blade reflected a cold light under the light. She moved slightly, and the sword in her hand began to dance like a spirit snake, with sword flowers flashing and her clothes fluttering.
Her dance steps were light and graceful, and every step seemed to be on the clouds, without a trace of worldly fireworks. Sometimes she spun, her white clothes fluttering like a blooming white lotus; sometimes she jumped, her posture was agile, and her sword drew graceful arcs in the air.
There is a unique rhythm and beauty in her sword moves. With a flick of her wrist, the sword follows her like a shadow, as fast as lightning, yet graceful. Her figure blends with the sword's shadow, and it is hard to tell which is the sword and which is the person, as if she has become one with the sword in her hand, performing a touching dance together.
While dancing with the sword, her eyes revealed a firm yet ethereal look, as if her thoughts had drifted far away, immersed in her own world of sword.
As the rhythm of the music gradually accelerated, her movements became faster and faster, and the shadows of the swords covered her whole body, making people feel dizzy. But in this sword shadow, her white clothes were still clearly visible, like the bright moon in the night sky, bright and clear. Her figure shuttled freely in the hall, and wherever she went, it seemed to bring a breeze, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Suddenly, Tang Chuyao flew up, pointing the sword in her hand straight to the sky, and her whole body paused in the air for a moment, like a white crane spreading its wings and ready to fly. Then, she spun several times in the air, waving the sword in her hand continuously, casting a silver glow, like a fairy scattering flowers, beautiful beyond words. Before everyone could recover from this amazing scene, Tang Chuyao had quietly landed on the ground, her sword was sheathed, and the whole hall was instantly silent, with only the melodious music still echoing in the air.
A moment later, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the hall. Everyone was impressed by Tang Chuyao's sword dance, their eyes were filled with amazement and admiration, as if they had just witnessed a miracle.
Tang Chuyao leaned forward slightly and saluted everyone. There was a faint smile in her eyes. She was still so cold and otherworldly, like a fairy who was not of this world.
Wanyan Liyue's face turned pale. How could it be possible? Tang Chuyao actually knew martial arts? And it seemed like her martial arts skills were not low!
I thought I would make Tang Chuyao look bad in public, but unexpectedly, this dance made her famous!
Seeing the reactions of the crowd, you can tell that Tang Chuyao’s reputation in the capital will be greatly improved at this time!
Wanyan Liyue gnashed her teeth in anger, and the look she gave Tang Chuyao was as if filled with poison!
Wanyan Jing looked at the white figure in the center of the hall, his eyes full of tenderness and pride. This was his and Ran'er's child! This was the daughter that Ran'er left for him!
Gu Qingchen's eyes were full of doting. This was his little girl! He knew that the little girl would not let him down!
Chi Yuandao and his companions also looked surprised, and even more delighted!
Yaoyao was well-educated by Ke Wuwei in Xiaoyao Valley! Her martial arts skills were not inferior at all! She is indeed a descendant of the Chi family!
Chi Mei's eyes were filled with satisfaction. Her sister's daughter was also very good! Just like her sister!
Concubine Chi looked at Tang Chuyao, who was hiding the ecstasy in her eyes, and smiled, nodding slightly at her.
Tang Youze looked at the back figure in the hall with a look of astonishment on his face. That's right, because Tang Youze was sitting close to the door, he could only see Tang Chuyao's back.
He simply couldn't believe his eyes, Tang Chuyao actually knew martial arts! !
So why did she keep it a secret from herself?
Tang Youze doesn't know martial arts, but he knows that those people with strong martial arts skills are also very good at Qinggong. They come and go freely, and the secret mechanisms in the mansion are nothing to them!
His face changed instantly. Could it be that Tang Chuyao knew about the letters between him and the King of Liao that he had hidden in his study?
Suddenly he looked towards the tables where Chi Yuandao was sitting, but he was too far away to see the expressions of the people there. They probably didn't know Tang Chuyao's background!
