The change in Hu Yanfei's expression was caught in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, her eyes slightly changed, and then she returned to her normal color and looked forward.
The music gradually climaxed. Two figures, one red and one black, intertwined alternately. The black shadow was tall and the red shadow flew with the wind, and the two cooperated extremely well. When everyone saw it, they thought that the princess and King Hao often performed sword dances in the palace, but they didn't realize that this was the first time for them.
Every movement is almost perfect. The last two people touched their sword hilts, and after a smile, the music came to an end. The last tune fell, and the two saluted everyone.
The scene was very quiet. Not long after, there was applause. Men are fortitude, women are gentle, hard and soft, and pleasing to the eye, it really opened everyone's horizons.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, "Even though she has lived in Beimin for many years, she still demonstrates the royal style of the capital. This skill is admired by the Aijia!"
When the words fell, the ministers all agreed, "The ministers admire, and are convinced."
Su Xi'er showed humility on her face, "Absolute praise, I dare not be it."
"Why is it absurd? For so many years, the Ai family has never seen such a sword dance!" The Empress Dowager raised her bottle of wine in her hand, and drank it in one fell swoop.
When everyone saw this, they followed suit and all drank a drink.
Du Ling gestured to the courtesy officer. After a while, the stage performance of the troupe began. Everyone was watching and eating. It was very lively.
The palace banquet lasted for two hours. Finally, Du Ling gave an order. After the palace banquet was over, the officials left one after another.
When Hu Yanfei left, he glanced at Su Xier, his gaze stayed slightly, and instantly moved to another place. Not long after, raise your foot and walk forward.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager stopped him, "Master Huyan, stay."
The hundreds of officials looked around one after another, deliberately staying for a while before leaving.
Hu Yanfei looked at the Empress Dowager without knowing it, and his gaze stayed on the king, the princess and the king Hao again.
"Master Huyan, your father didn't come today. It's not because the old lady is sick, but because he doesn't come in angrily?"
Hu Yanfei immediately bowed and replied, "My father is indeed taking care of my mother in the mansion, not intentionally not coming."
"The Ai family knows what your father is angry about. The Huyan family is loyal to the royal family, and the royal family has indeed treated you badly. It's just..." Having said that, the empress dowager looked at Xiang Su Xier, "The princess is out, many things, Hopefully, I will forgive you."
Of course Pei Qianhao understood what the Empress Dowager was talking about. He looked at Hu Yanfei, who was of good character and loyal to the country.
"Weichen understands that the empress dowager needn't care." Hu Yanfei said while saluting everyone, and finally he looked at Su Xier, "The princess and King Hao are very good match." After the words fell, he was a salute again, and finally met both. Ling said respectfully to leave.
Seeing Hu Yanfei's leaving back, the Empress Dowager sighed and glanced over Su Xi'er, "I owe Huyan Mansion anyway, I blame the former king for saying that." However, even if Ru Lan did not marry King Hao, she is not good at betrothing her granddaughter to Hu Yanfei. That body, that body, to marry a princess, is not qualified enough.
"The emperor grandmother, it's not early, the wind is strong at night, I will help you back to the temple." Su Xier said as she stepped forward to support the empress dowager.
"Good boy, go to bed with Ai's family today. King Hao, you will come early tomorrow and take Rulan to Nuanyudian. In the afternoon, Ai's family will teach her horsemanship by yourself."
As soon as this remark came out, even if Pei Qianhao didn't want it in his heart, he could only respond, "Xi'er will accompany you more, it should be."
"It's good to know." The Empress Dowager said, and Su Xi'er was helped to walk to the bedroom.
So, Pei Qianhao spent the night alone, in a deep sleep, naturally hugged his arms, and indeed rushed into the air. After waking up, he touched it, and there was no one. He has become accustomed to hugging Xi'er to sleep. At this moment, she is not here and he is not used to it.
Early the next morning, Pei Qianhao got up, and after washing up, he went to the Queen Mother's dormitory to have a meal with Xi'er, and then took her to Nuanyudian. In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager personally taught equestrianism. Su Xi'er can ride a horse, and she was full of interest when she saw the empress dowager wearing equestrian clothes.
Su Xi'er pretended not to be uneasy. Even so, the empress dowager still praised her.
After 20 consecutive days in the Western Regions, until Bei Min received an urgent letter and had to leave, Su Xi'er bid farewell to Du Ling and the emperor's grandmother.
At this moment, in front of the gate of the palace, the empress dowager touched Su Xier's hand, reluctantly, "I have learned horsemanship, but I haven't taught archery yet, so I'm leaving. I don't know when I will come back after this walk." For the first time, there was a choke in the voice.
Du Ling immediately stepped forward and patted the emperor's grandmother on the shoulder. He remembered that the emperor's grandmother had cried twice, once when the emperor's grandfather died, and the second time was today.
"Grandma, I'll see you when I'm free." Su Xier held the hand of the grandma. As Ning Rulan, she had never seen grandma. Nowadays, she is deeply loved by the emperor's grandmother, and her heart is full of warmth.
"That's right, you are not allowed to lie to the Ai's family. The Ai's is over seventy years old, and people are scarce in the seventies. I don't know how many years they can live. You can come back more in your lifetime."
When Qunchen heard these words, his eyelids twitched, and the Queen Mother was sturdy and sturdy, not to mention 80, 90 years old is not a problem.
"Grandma, you are a hundred years old, and you are waiting for you." Su Xi'er blinked, with a playful expression on her face.
"Look at what you said, the Ai's family is old and they are in good time. Hurry up and give birth to a child and let the Ai's hug the great-grandson." After the empress dowager said, she pulled Su Xi'er aside and walked to no one. Place, whispering.
"You have a cold body, but in the past few days you have slept on a warm jade bed and added decoction to make your body warmer. When you arrive in Beimin, you must pay more attention. The Aijia will give you something." She said as she took out one extremely preciously. The small bottle was carefully handed to Su Xi'er, "The pill inside, one pill a day, can be eaten for 30 days. It is made of top-notch medicinal materials from the Western Regions, not in the Central Plains, so it is especially warm."
Su Xier took it, "Thanks to the emperor's grandmother."
"Also, if you become pregnant, immediately write a letter to inform Aijia. After taking this medicine, you have to write to inform you that you are not pregnant yet. Aijia thinks a way for you, this is not a problem."
Su Xi'er stretched out her arms to embrace the empress dowager, "Emperor grandmother, you are so kind."
She and Lian Chen are siblings, while the Queen Mother of the Western Regions are elders.
"You are the granddaughter of the Ai family. After suffering so much again, of course you have to be good to you." The Queen Mother patted her on the back while asking her to take the talisman.
"I've taken it long ago." Su Xi'er smiled obediently at the Empress Dowager.
The carriage line is ready, and the time is up, there can be no further delay.
Finally, the empress dowager reluctantly watched Su Xi'er leave, she couldn't help but raised her hand and wiped her tears. It was not until the carriage left that she said, "The wind is so strong, it blows the tears of the mourning family."
