It has to be said that everyone likes to hear others praise themselves, let alone when they are praised by people from other countries, Situ Yao will be even happier.
"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend myself. I am from the Western Regions and would also like to see where I am lacking." An Lirong said.
After hearing An Lirong's words, Situ Yao agreed without saying a word.
After a while, An Lirong appeared in the center of the stage holding a pipa. There was a chair in the center of the stage, and An Lirong sat on the chair.
Her bare hands gently plucked the strings of the zither, and a sound like the gentle flow of water rang out, attracting everyone at once.
Everyone rose and fell with the music, and only reacted when the music stopped.
"Well, this lady's pipa playing is truly unique." The envoy from the Western Regions was the first to react. He immediately stood up and applauded in praise.
After the first person gave praise, others followed suit.
Seeing An Lirong's amazing pipa skills, Situ Yao was also happy. He was happy to let the envoys from the Western Regions see the strength of his country.
Looking at An Lirong again, she stood up with an unfazed look and said, "Thank you all for your compliments." After that, she was about to return to her original position.
"An Da Ying, please listen to the imperial decree. Now An Da Ying is both talented and beautiful, intelligent and generous, so he is specially appointed as a noble lady." Situ Yao's voice sounded.
An Lirong knelt on the ground and was a little surprised after listening to it. She didn't expect that she would become a noble person just by playing a piece of pipa.
Thinking about it again, some people tried their best to gain the emperor's favor and were even willing to poison others. An Lirong felt it was a bit ridiculous. It was indeed fate that was unfair.
However, An Lirong's thoughts did not drift too far. When Situ Yao finished speaking, An Lirong immediately expressed her gratitude.
At night, Su Mengyan was thinking about some things and couldn't sleep. Situ Yao saw Su Mengyan sitting in front of the mirror and thinking, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"What are you doing? It's late at night, why don't you go to sleep?" Situ Yao asked Su Mengyan curiously.
After all, Su Mengyan is now older, her body is heavy, and she gets tired easily. She always goes to bed early, and it has been a long time since she had a rest like now.
You know, after receiving the envoys today, even Situ Yao felt a little tired. Someone as heavy as Su Mengyan should feel sleepy.
However, when she heard Situ Yao's question, Su Mengyan just moved her body and faced Situ Yao.
"Do you think An Lirong looks a bit like someone from the Western Regions?" Su Mengyan asked curiously.
At first, she hadn't thought of this, only thinking that An Lirong was pretty. But after seeing the Western Regions envoys today, she realized that An Lirong's beauty had some Western characteristics.
After hearing Su Mengyan's words, Situ Yao finally thought about it seriously. Thinking about An Lirong's voice, appearance and smile, Situ Yao suddenly realized that, just as Su Mengyan said, An Lirong had the shadow of a person from the Western Regions.
"Yes, if Yan'er hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. It was only after you reminded me that I realized it was indeed the case." Situ Yao said.
In an instant, Su Mengyan fell into deep thought.
"Biyun, go and check what happened when An Lirong disappeared." Su Mengyan couldn't help but become curious about this matter.
An Lirong had told her before that she was kidnapped, so she didn't ask much. But now Su Mengyan found the shadow of a Westerner in her, and this matter was obviously not that simple.
In fact, she didn't care where An Lirong was from. She was just afraid that An Lirong was a spy planted by people from the Western Regions.
If the kingdom they had worked so hard to gain was destroyed by a spy, both Situ Yao and Su Mengyan would regret it deeply.
Within two days, Biyun had found out everything clearly.
It turns out that An Lirong has the shadow of a person from the Western Regions, all because of her mother, who is a person from the Western Regions.
This result was not completely beyond Su Mengyan's expectations, but it did make Su Mengyan feel a little comforted.
In the imperial garden, a woman from the Western Regions was flying a kite, but not long after, she felt that flying a kite seemed meaningless.
What's the fun in this? Pulling a kite to fly in the sky, but you can't fly yourself. So after playing for a while, she put the kite down.
"This is boring. Is there nothing else good to play with?" The Western woman asked the palace maid beside her, holding the kite in her hand.
The palace maid was not from the Western Regions, so she naturally didn't know what the people there liked. She shook her head and said, "People here really like flying kites. If you don't even like kites, then I don't know what else is fun for you."
In fact, hunting and other things are extremely fun, but she is a palace maid after all. Not to mention that she has never ridden a horse to hunt, even if she had, she would not dare to tell this to outside guests.
You have to know that this is an important guest. If I tell her about horseback riding and hunting, and she goes just because she’s interested, if anything goes wrong, I’ll definitely be in trouble.
Upon hearing the palace maid's answer, the Western Region woman's face instantly fell. How boring! She had thought that coming to this country would enrich her interests, but she didn't expect it to be so boring.
If I had known this earlier, I would have stayed in my own country. When I'm at home, I can dance when I want to dance, and sing when I want to sing. It's much freer than here.
Thinking of singing and dancing, the Western woman's face suddenly brightened up again.
"Since there is nothing fun to do, I will sing and dance for you." After saying this, he started dancing without caring whether the palace maid agreed or not.
After all, the palace maid had followed her for a few days and knew the temper of this Western woman. Since she wanted to sing and dance, let her sing.
When An Lirong arrived at the Imperial Garden, she saw women from the Western Regions singing and dancing to the palace maids.
The woman from the Western Regions was in high spirits at this moment, and her singing became louder. Suddenly, she discovered that there was another voice humming along with her own singing.
Out of curiosity, the Western Regions woman stopped dancing, turned around and saw An Lirong: "You can actually sing my song, who are you?"
However, what she didn't expect was that An Lirong didn't say a word. When she heard her question, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Your Majesty, General Dingfeng has arrived at the border and won a victory in the battle with Tubo." A minister received the news from the front line and excitedly told this matter at the morning court.
When Situ Yao heard the news, he laughed out loud: "Good, good, Chu Yunshan really didn't let me down."
