Chapter 992 Flying Butterflies
Jiang Xue said, "Such beautiful music is rare in the world. The piece you played tonight is most suitable for dancing with raised sleeves and bent waist. It's a pity that I didn't get to see the beautiful woman dancing with me. I can't help but feel a little regretful."
"This piece of music is indeed suitable for dancing, but I wanted to present this gift to Her Royal Highness the Princess alone, so I didn't arrange any dancers," Yun Zhen explained.
"The Fourth Prince has good intentions."
Jiang Xue raised her glass to greet him: "I like this gift very much, thank you!"
"It is my honor to be favored by the eldest princess."
Although the two talked peacefully, everyone present felt that there was a deeper meaning behind their words. After the banquet, everyone felt that it was boring.
The moon is as round as a disk tonight, and the cool moonlight shines down, adding a touch of poetry to the night.
After seeing Yun Zhen off, Jiang Xue was about to return home with Xiao Zhan, but was stopped by Jiang Yuyin.
"elder sister!"
He turned around and saw the pregnant Jiang Yuyin slowly walking towards him.
"Yuyin, what do you want to ask me for?"
"Yun Zhen looks too much like my elder brother, which makes people suspicious." Jiang Yuyin said.
Jiang Xue stared at her: "Do you still remember what my brother looks like?"
"My brother passed away when I was young, so my impression of him is very vague."
Jiang Yuyin said softly, "Later, out of curiosity, I wanted to know what kind of person he was, so I found his portrait, and then I could barely remember what he looked like."
Jiang Xue smiled self-deprecatingly.
It has been eleven years since Jiang Ke passed away, and his face has long been blurred in the memory of those who once knew him.
Jiang Yuyin was still young at that time, how much could she remember?
"Not only do they look similar, but their speech and behavior are almost identical."
Jiang Xue pondered and said, "If I hadn't witnessed my brother's death from falling off a horse and personally buried him, I would have thought he was still alive. But the dead are gone, and we should keep them in mind."
As the night deepened, Jiang Xue said considerately, "You are pregnant now, so you'd better go back and rest early."
"OK."
Jiang Yuyin followed Huangfu Shang into the carriage. Not long after, Huangfu Shang asked, "Did you find out everything?"
"Jiang Xue mentioned that Yun Zhen not only looks like the late emperor, but also behaves very similarly," Jiang Yuyin replied.
Huangfu Shang sneered: "Just as I expected."
There may be people in the world who look similar, but their words and deeds are exactly the same, unless they are deliberately imitating each other.
Yun Zhen went to such great lengths to get close to Jiang Xue, and his purpose was definitely not simple. And judging from Jiang Xue's attitude towards him, she obviously had special feelings for him.
On the other hand, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan returned to the mansion. Xiao Zhan gently lifted her chin and asked with concern: “Xiaoxue, are you unhappy?”
“It’s not like I’m unhappy.”
Jiang Xue replied calmly: "It's just that the song Yun Zhen played tonight reminded me of many past events, including some memories that I thought I had forgotten."
"Yun Che, let me dance for you."
Few people know that in addition to being good at leading troops in battle, Jiang Xue is also proficient in dancing.
She inherited her aunt's dancing skills, and whenever Jiang Ke played this piece of music during his lifetime, she would always dance along.
Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned, then responded: "Okay."
The last time I saw her dancing was when she was a teenager. Now she is a mature woman. I wonder what different style she will bring?
Jiang Xue spread her sleeves, and her clothes fluttered as she danced. She looked like a butterfly flying in the mountains, beautiful as a poem or a painting.
However, after dancing a few steps, Jiang Xue realized that she might not be able to perform the dance perfectly tonight.
Her body had become stiff from years of military service, and she had not practiced for eleven years, so many of her movements had become unfamiliar.
But since she had started, she couldn't give up easily, so she gritted her teeth and persevered to the end.
After the dance, Jiang Xue smiled shyly: "It must be very ugly, right?"
"It's a bit stiff, but..."
He gently pressed his hand against her forehead: "Some of the movements are so beautiful that they make my heart flutter. Xiaoxue, I really like them!"
Jiang Xue chuckled: "I thought you would compliment my dancing skills against your will."
"It seems that Xiaoxue has already made up her mind, but I didn't give a correct answer. I shouldn't have done that."
Xiao Zhan also smiled: "Then let me re-evaluate: Xiaoxue's dance is like a poem and a painting, and it moves people's hearts and is beautiful beyond words."
"Come on, stop it!"
Jiang Xue sneered: "You love me not because I am good at dancing or playing the piano, nor because I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but simply because I am the one and only Jiang Xue."
Xiao Zhan kissed her lips gently: "But I really like the dance you performed tonight. Xiaoxue, from now on, you will only dance for me, okay?"
"certainly."
Jiang Xue hugged his neck, her eyes full of his image: "I am a princess after all, I won't perform in front of others casually."
She paused for a moment and kissed his cheek tenderly: "But you are an exception. Although I am not a good dancer, I am willing to dance for you all my life."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan felt a warm current in his heart.
She gave him all her tenderness and tenacity without reservation. He thought he loved her deeply, but he found that love could be even deeper.
"Xiaoxue!" Any more words seemed redundant. He leaned over and kissed her deeply, their breath blending together.
Afterwards, Xiao Zhan picked up Jiang Xue and walked towards the bed. In the silver glow of the moonlight, the shadows of the two intertwined...
In the dead of night, he tangled his fingers around her hair, his eyes full of affection.
Jiang Xue's eyes were still full of charm, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
She snuggled in his arms and said softly, "Yun Che, it's so comfortable in your arms. Although I haven't fallen asleep yet, I'm already thinking about not going to court tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter if you don't go. I'll take care of everything. Besides, there are so many ministers in the court, each with their own duties. It won't be a big deal if I don't go for a day."
"Yun Che still loves me the most."
Jiang Xue said, "But it might be a bit boring to stay at home tomorrow. Why don't we ask Fu Dong to invite Yun Zhen to come home and sit for a while?"
Xiao Zhan frowned: "Who promised me to try to avoid him? Why do you want to invite him home so soon?"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "You know I want to know his background, so why would you care about this person?"
"You always keep your word."
Xiao Zhan sighed: "However, since you have a good reason, then please ask him to come over. But I saw him playing that song on purpose last night, and it seems that he knows everything about you and the eldest son of the late emperor."
"Indeed."
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "But he didn't hide his knowledge of these things, so it doesn't look like he wants to harm me, but rather he has other intentions."
“Maybe. But no matter what his purpose is, this man is full of mysteries. He is extremely mysterious. We must not be careless.”
