Chapter 84 Tai Chi Swordsmanship
Luo Li's two rare birthday gifts won the favor of the Empress.
Giving gifts is really a science, and it is the best gift to give gifts that touch people's hearts.
Others spent tens of thousands of taels to collect rare treasures, but they could never catch the eye of Empress Mingde.
The second prince Zhao Yuanxi stared at Luo Li's bright face, and he was so excited that he wanted to take this unique beauty into the Chen Palace tonight.
The fourth prince's gloomy eyes were full of greed. Everything that this silly princess came up with was amazing, and he wanted to take it for himself.
The second prince Zhao Yuanxi and the princess congratulated the queen together: "Your son and daughter-in-law wish the queen good fortune as long as the East China Sea and longevity as long as the evergreen pines on the South Mountain."
Queen Mingde had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.
She hated and feared the second prince who was deep-minded, sinister, cunning and insidious. The second prince was cruel and ruthless. He
had always been jealous of his brother who lived in the East Palace, and he was even more covetous for that position.
She was really afraid that one day the prince with a pure heart, benevolence and affection would not be a match for this poisonous snake and would be bitten to death and devoured by it.
The birthday gift presented by the second prince was a rare calligraphy and painting that cost more than 60,000 taels of silver.
Empress Mingde simply said, "The Second Prince is thoughtful!"
In her heart, the Second Prince's calligraphy and painting, which she had spent a huge amount of money to buy, was far less valuable than the Pine and Crane Longevity Picture painted by the prince himself.
The Third Prince Zhao Heng and the Fourth Prince Zhao Yuanfen also presented expensive and carefully selected birthday gifts.
The other little princes who had not yet been crowned kings only presented their thoughts.
On the contrary, the wives of the imperial concubines of the important officials of the court competed to present the rare treasures that they had spent a lot of time and money to collect, hoping to please the Emperor and the Empress.
Luo Li was secretly shocked in her heart!
[Fuck! The Queen Mother celebrated her 40th birthday, and the money she received as gifts was worth more than what I had worked so hard to earn in a year!
Power equals wealth! Otherwise, why do people fight so hard for power!
The birthday tribute ceremony lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Before the birthday banquet began, there were talent shows by the daughters of noble families.
Luo Ruixue, known as a talented woman, begged the Queen Mother to let her play a song on the phoenix-tail guqin presented by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.
Queen Mingde nodded happily and agreed.
Luo Ruixue sat in front of the guqin, and her slender green jade fingers danced gracefully on the strings.
The pleasant and melodious sound of the guqin was like flowing clouds and water, with thousands of twists and turns.
Sometimes it was bright and high-pitched, sometimes it was low and full, and sometimes it was melodious and graceful, intoxicating. When
the lingering sound of the piano fell, Luo Ruixue stood up gracefully and bowed!
Miss Luo's piano skills won the applause of the whole room!
Two charming blushes flew on Luo Ruixue's pretty face, and she was quite proud in her heart.
She glanced at the cheerful silly princess with a proud look, and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin who was sitting there with affectionate eyes.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was handsome and beautiful, and had the best style in the hall, did not even glance at her, she could not help but feel a pain in her heart, and her proud look suddenly turned into depression.
Zhao Zhiya performed a dance, not wanting to be left behind.
But she was seen circling and dancing with her extremely graceful figure, like a fluttering butterfly. When the dance reached its acme, she seemed to be floating in the air.
When Miss Zhao danced in front of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, she smiled at His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin with infinite charm. She was really charming and alluring.
Luo Li laughed secretly!
[Zhao Zhiya seduced the Prince of Qin so blatantly, I wonder if the dog Prince of Qin’s soul can be seduced?]
The Prince of Qin Zhao Defang still had the same calm and gentle expression on his face.
He stole a glance at his silly and laughing princess, thinking to himself, don’t you feel jealous at all?
Zhao Zhiya’s dance also received applause from the whole audience!
Several ladies sitting next to the prime minister's wife were not stingy in praising Miss Zhao for her beautiful appearance, elegant temperament, and graceful dancing.
The wife of the left prime minister Zhao Pu was delighted, but she was humble.
Unlike her daughter, her and her husband's target was the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo.
If her daughter could marry into the East Palace and become the concubine of the King of Chu, it is very likely that the eldest prince will succeed to the throne in the future, and her daughter will be the virtuous concubine.
Mrs. Zhao did not understand the strategy of betting on both sides that her husband had mentioned. She was not interested in the Prince of Qi Zhao Guangmei either. She only favored the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo, who was as gentle as jade and had a good character. She was looking forward to her daughter marrying into the East Palace.
Rong Yanran also performed a dance to accompany Miss Zhao Zhiya and better highlight Miss Zhao's beautiful dancing posture and extraordinary talent.
Zhao Zhiya winked at her. Rong Yanran, who had forgotten the pain after the wound healed, remembered that her father wanted to obtain the position of Minister of Rites, which depended on the help of Prime Minister Zhao.
Rong Yanran was panting slightly after the dance, and smiled and saluted the Empress, "Your Majesty, I am mediocre in talent and I am sorry for my performance!
I heard that the Princess of Qin is very talented. Why don't you let the Princess dance to celebrate your birthday?"
Empress Mingde was startled! A trace of displeasure appeared on her face.
Everyone knows that the silly princess only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Is Rong Yanran going to use my birthday to embarrass the silly princess?
The queen wanted to refuse, but Concubine Li Xian beside her smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qin often shows unexpected talents. Let her perform a show to celebrate your birthday?"
The emperor nodded slightly to show his approval.
Luo Li was so angry that she cursed in her heart!
[Zhao Zhiya and Rong Yanran are dogs that can't change their bad habits. They still want me to be embarrassed!
You, Concubine Li Xian, have benefited from me, but you have lost your conscience?
Luo Li stood up helplessly, "Your Majesty, Empress, I only know how to eat, drink and have fun, how can I play the piano and dance! Please don't embarrass me!" Concubine
Li Xian waved her hand tenderly, with a smile in her eyes, "Princess Qin, don't belittle yourself, just perform a show to make the emperor and the empress happy!"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang cursed in his heart, "Let my princess entertain you?"
Qin Wang stood up, "Your Majesty, Queen, my princess is thin-skinned and doesn't like to be in the limelight. Let me dance with a sword on her behalf to celebrate her birthday?"
The emperor shuddered in his heart!
[You dance with a sword? I'm afraid you'll take the opportunity to assassinate me! ]
The emperor waved his hand, "Today is the Queen's birthday, you princes should stop competing with the female relatives for the limelight."
Luo Li pondered for a moment and said, "Since Concubine Li Xian loves and values me so much, I will dance with a sword to celebrate the Queen's birthday!"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang glanced at his princess and thought, can you dance with a sword?
The emperor nodded in agreement, "Bring a sword, let the Princess Qin perform a sword dance to celebrate the Queen's birthday."
Everyone in the hall immediately became excited!
They were all waiting with their heads raised, wiping their eyes, to see how the silly princess would embarrass herself?
Luo Li took the narrow long sword handed to her by the eunuch, and seeing that the blade had never been sharpened, she couldn't help but secretly mock herself in her heart, the emperor is really afraid of death!
[I don't know how to dance with a sword, so I'll just use the Tai Chi sword that I learned from Sister Chen in my previous life to play with it!
Sister Chen's family has the Chen family Tai Chi boxing and Tai Chi swordsmanship passed down from their ancestors, so it shouldn't be too ugly! Anyway, the Tai Chi sword danced by the old men and women in the park is pretty good. Luo
Li slowly made the starting posture of Tai Chi swordplay, formed a sword finger with her left hand, and slowly thrust out a sword!
But the sword dance of the Princess of Qin was different from that of ordinary people. Her movements were graceful and delicate. It was both unrestrained, elegant, and graceful, yet steady. It was like both martial arts and dance, extremely graceful.
The sword in the hands of the Princess of Qin could be freely retracted and retracted at long distances and near distances, light and soft, continuous, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes high, sometimes low, both hard and soft, and both form and spirit.
The King of Qin, Zhao Defang, widened his eyes in shock! His heart was pounding!
The swordplay of the princess is a collection of the two extremes of yin and yang, with techniques such as stabbing, chopping, lifting, hanging, tapping, wiping, pushing and transforming. It emphasizes intention rather than strength, and combines hardness and softness, with four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
Isn't this similar to the Wuwei swordplay newly created by the Third Uncle?
Qin Wang Zhao Defang was intoxicated and fascinated!
In the Wuwei swordplay taught to him by the Third Uncle, many places where the artistic conception could not be integrated suddenly became clear as if it was a revelation!
People in the hall who don't know martial arts also think that the Qin Wangfei's sword dance is quite beautiful.
There are also people who are proficient in martial arts, but they can't understand the secrets of the Qin Wangfei's swordplay. I just think that the swordsmanship of the Princess of Qin is unique and beautiful, but it is not easy to hurt the enemy.
After Luo Li finished the 36 moves of Chen's Tai Chi swordsmanship, she was already panting and sweating.
[I have been lazy for a year and ruined my physical fitness!
No! I have to strengthen my physical training in the future. Only with a good body can I live longer, right? Luo Li's voice was slightly panting, "
Your Majesty, I have embarrassed myself. Are you happy and pleased with it?"
Empress Mingde smiled and said repeatedly, "Thank you for the hard work, Princess Qin! I am very happy and like it very much!"
The Emperor also smiled and praised, "Princess Qin's swordsmanship is beautiful and elegant, combining the beauty of martial arts and dance. It is very beautiful."
Zhao Zhiya and Rong Yanran were a little dumbfounded. They wanted to embarrass Princess Qin, but they didn't expect to make her the center of attention again. How could this silly fellow who only likes to eat, drink and have fun know how to dance with a sword?
Qin Wang Zhao Defang's body trembled slightly with excitement!
What kind of magical woman is this silly princess that I married? It seems that she has countless treasures, waiting for me to slowly discover, to surprise me, and to make me admire and fall in love with her. 】
Luo Li handed the sword to the eunuch next to her, turned around and looked at Zhao Zhiya and Rong Yanran, and smiled proudly!
"Miss Zhao, Miss Rong, has my talent won your hearts?
You two white lotus flowers, don't pretend to be poor in front of me in the future!"
Zhao Zhiya and Rong Yanran blushed when they were scolded by name!
Zhao Zhiya wanted to attack and retort a few words, but looked at the emperor and the queen and didn't dare to speak.
Rong Yanran was so scared that her face turned pale, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
Luo Li thought to herself: [You two just wait for me!
Don't you just want to see me make a fool of myself? Today, I will make you two look so embarrassed that you will not be able to see anyone in the future! 】
