Lin Zhan's childish words and soft tone instantly made the emperor laugh out loud again, and the ministers below also looked at Lin Zhan in surprise.
It seemed that he did not expect that Lin Zan's few words could make the emperor so happy.
Thinking about the rumors about the emperor's favor towards Lin Zhan, it now seems that they are true.
Originally, Lin Zhan was not qualified to sit next to the prince, but with the favor of the emperor and Jun Beiqi, this was naturally not a problem.
Lin Zhan's little butt sat safely next to the prince, and even the food standard was improved by several levels.
Looking at the delicacies in front of him, Lin Zan's eyes turned around and he didn't know which one to eat.
With delicious food, how can we miss singing and dancing? Soon, the sound of drums rang out from below.
Lin Zhan was attracted by the sound and looked down curiously. Then he saw eight round drums being moved up to the center of the hall.
These eight drums are placed in the center of the hall, and are carved with complex patterns, making them look simple and elegant.
The sound of stringed instruments rang out nearby, and a woman in red suddenly stepped onto the drum surface, jumping and turning among the eight drums, her figure as light as a spirit deer in the woods.
The dancer's graceful dance instantly attracted everyone in the hall. Even Lin Zhan temporarily forgot about the delicious food in front of him and looked at it in fascination.
But as Lin Zhan looked at it, he felt something was wrong. Why did that figure look familiar?
Especially those pair of sparkling eyes, which seemed to turn into silk threads with deep tenderness and densely wrapped around Jun Beiqi.
Lin Zan was suddenly shocked. It turned out that the dancer's target was Jun Beiqi.
And at this moment Lin Zan also recognized the identity of the dancer, it was Si Xueyi.
Si Xueyi's dance steps became more hurried at this moment. The sound of the drums suddenly became sonorous and powerful, and the bells on her ankles also made corresponding sounds, as if bringing people into a fantasy world from which they could not extricate themselves.
No, there was something wrong with the drum and bell sounds. Although Lin Zan knew that this part did not exist in the original book, she knew that there must be something wrong with Si Xueyi's dance.
At this time, Lin Zhan turned his head and looked at Jun Beiqi, and indeed found that there was something strange in Jun Beiqi's eyes.
In a hurry, Lin Zhan picked up the ivory chopsticks next to him and knocked them on the dishes, making a ding-dong sound. Although the sound was not loud, it was loud enough for Jun Beiqi who was next to him to hear.
When Jun Beiqi first heard the sound of Lin Zhan knocking on dishes, his brows furrowed tightly, and then he looked at Lin Zhan with a hint of anger.
But this irritability did not last long. Jun Beiqi's eyes suddenly showed doubts, and then he returned to normal. He was very puzzled by Lin Zhan's behavior of knocking on the bowl and chopsticks. "What are you doing?"
"Today is the prince's birthday. I don't have anything good to give him, so I just want to sing a happy birthday song for you." Lin Zan said with a smile.
Lin Zan's seemingly willful action just happened to interrupt Si Xueyi's drum and bell sounds, forcing her to end her dance early and stop.
Everyone suddenly woke up from the intoxicating dance and drum music, and the emperor looked at Si Xueyi below with approval and appreciation. "The dance and music are both very beautiful, who are you?"
"My name is Si Xueyi." Si Xueyi took off the red veil on her face and looked in the direction of the prince tenderly and silently.
But she was surprised to find that the prince's attention was all on Lin Zan beside him, and he didn't notice her at all.
Seeing this scene, Si Xueyi couldn't help but lower her head in disappointment. She had prepared for today's performance for a long time, but she didn't expect that it didn't attract that person's attention.
"Xue Yi, today is the prince's birthday, and preparations have been made for a long time." Concubine Qin said from the side.
The emperor could not help but nod his head, expressing his approval and rewarding her with a lot of things. Jun Beiyu also praised Si Xueyi when he saw her somewhat disappointed look. "Sister Xueyi's dance today was stunning and will surely become a legend."
"Thank you, Brother Yu!" Si Xueyi responded with a faint smile, but her eyes looked towards Jun Beiqi intentionally or unintentionally.
Si Xueyi had stopped dancing, which made Lin Zan breathe a sigh of relief, because this meant that Si Xueyi might not know that the dance music she played had a bewitching effect.
"Didn't you say you would sing a happy birthday song for me? Why did you stop?" Jun Beiqi said when he saw Lin Zan put down the chopsticks in his hand.
It was just an emergency situation, so Lin Zan said those words, but he didn't expect Jun Beiqi to take it seriously.
Jun Beiqi's words were also heard by the emperor who was sitting at the top. "Happy Birthday, where is that song from? Is it a nursery rhyme?"
"It turns out that Miss Lin can sing too. Now it's the prince's birthday, why don't you sing for everyone to enjoy." Si Xueyi was already dissatisfied with Lin Zhan for attracting everyone's attention, so naturally she started to make things difficult for Lin Zhan.
Lin Zan could only smile awkwardly. How could she sing any song?
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, Si Xueyi covered her mouth and said with a smile, "If Miss Lin doesn't know how to play the music, please tell me the music score, and I will play the piano, and Miss Lin can sing."
Lin Zhan was now in a dilemma, and he didn't want to see Si Xueyi's hypocritical look pretending to help him out, so he gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, brother-in-law, can I have someone prepare a few wine glasses for me?" Lin Zan asked the emperor in a baby voice.
The emperor naturally nodded in agreement, and soon had someone bring a few wine glasses. Lin Zhan poured water into the glasses one by one.
Moreover, the water level in each wine glass is different. Lin Zhan also picked up chopsticks and tapped on them to listen to the sound, constantly adjusting the height of the water in the wine glass.
This strange scene naturally focused everyone's attention on Lin Zan, and no one knew what she was going to do.
Finally, Lin Zhan seemed ready, raised a bright smile, and said to the prince, "Your Highness, this is my birthday song for you."
After he finished speaking, Lin Zhan picked up the chopsticks and tapped lightly on the wine glass. Surprisingly, the sound of tapping the wine glass actually formed a simple melody.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you." Lin Zhan happily sang the modern version of the Happy Birthday song. Although it was only a simple sentence,
But with Lin Zhan's soft and cute voice, the song also seems very cute and instantly melted everyone's hearts.
There was always a smile on the emperor's lips, and Jun Beiqi was staring at Lin Zan. Such special favor made Si Xueyi clench her hands hidden under her sleeves.
At this moment, Jun Beiyu suddenly stretched out his hand and gently held Si Xueyi's hand.
