The Dragon Girl put Ji Yuan's calligraphy and painting into her sleeves, and started playing with the fan given by Zao Niang. With a slight flick of her wrist, the folding fan unfolded in Ying Ruoli's hand. However, this time it seemed that she was controlling it intentionally, and there was no exaggerated brilliance emanating. There was only a green and gold color on the fan that passed through like water waves.
Many people at the banquet in the hall were paying attention to the fan, which could make the Dragon Girl lose her composure. Now that the light faded, everyone could see the original pattern on the fan more clearly. Even the old dragon and several dragon kings were curious about it.
Ying Ruoli looked at the exquisite fan with her crystal eyes. The picture embroidered on it seemed as if she was standing in the wind holding a branch, and the yellow flowers of the jujube tree were dancing like a dragon in front of her.
"This, this is me... So beautiful..."
Ying Ruoli gently brushed the fan with her hand, but found that everything around her seemed to have changed. There was wind blowing, and the fragrance of flowers drifted in the air. It seemed as if she had turned into a small courtyard in Ju'an, and someone was holding onto branches and dancing with a sword under a jujube tree in the moonlight.
The wind changes freely, when the sword is gentle, the breeze surrounds gently, when the sword is sharp, the breeze rises and falls violently, it is unpredictable and very magical!
The thin branches in the sword dancer's hands seemed to be pulled by sticky silk. Finally, as he waved his sleeves and swung the sword, the breeze in the courtyard swept the fallen jujube flowers and rushed up diagonally out of the courtyard, turning into a faint green and yellow flower dragon flying in the sky. Then the breeze sent the flowers falling like rain...
'Is this the Ju'an Pavilion? It's so beautiful...'
The scene of the sword dancing and delivering flowers like a dragon was reflected in the eyes of the dragon girl, and gradually faded away. Everything in front of her eyes turned into a fan again, and the guests at the Dragon Transformation Banquet were all in her peripheral vision.
Zao Niang smiled happily.
"Ruoli, I'm glad you like it. I'm afraid you don't like it."
"How could that be? As long as it's a gift from you, Ruoli will like it even if it's just an ordinary fan. Moreover, this fan is so valuable. Ruoli can be said to have a handy magical weapon!"
Zao Niang was slightly stunned, her face flushed a little, and she spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito.
"I'm not sure what power this fan has, but it can definitely help you master wind and thunder..."
"It's okay, I'll figure it out myself, don't forget Ruoli, I'm a real dragon now!"
As the dragon girl spoke, she put away the fan and held it in her hand. She turned her head to look in the direction of the main seat and then looked at Ji Yuan in the direction of the area where the Dazhen envoy was located.
"Zao Niang, let's go."
The Dragon Girl did not go back to the main seat, but took Zao Niang's hand and walked towards the direction of the Dazhen envoys.
"Mr. Ji? That Lady Ying is coming."
Yin Zhaoxian whispered something to Ji Yuan, who nodded.
"No problem."
When Ying Ruoli and Zao Niang walked past, the guests nearby also looked at the Dragon Girl, and some even bowed slightly.
"Ruoli meets Uncle Ji!"
The Dragon Girl bowed to Ji Yuan first. The officials of Dazhen and the Heavenly Masters had already stood up and bowed to the Dragon Girl.
"Greetings, Madam Ying!"
Of course Ying Ruoli also turned towards Yin Zhaoxian to return the greeting, and then turned slightly while holding the greeting.
"Hello, Lord Yin. Hello, everyone. Please take a seat."
Ji Yuan sat back in his seat. He didn't feel nervous at all when facing the Dragon Girl. He just picked up the wine cup and raised it towards the Dragon Girl.
"Did you know that this day would come? I didn't expect it to come sooner than expected, and you did even better? Congratulations on your successful transformation into a dragon."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Yuan had already finished the wine.
Ying Ruoli casually picked up a cup from Zao Niang's table, filled it with wine, and held the cup with both hands facing Ji Yuan.
"Uncle Ji, Ruoli salutes you..."
This time, the Dragon Girl did not cover her face with her sleeves when drinking. Instead, she closed her eyes slightly and drank the wine very happily. Then she pulled Zao Niang to sit at the table together.
As for the Dazhen envoys, they hurriedly took their glasses and drank up when the Dragon Girl was drinking. After all, the Dragon Girl was drinking at the table in this area, and they dared not not accompany her.
Ji Yuan looked at the table next to him. Longnu was whispering to Zao Niang at the moment, and he also unfolded his painting to appreciate it. The painting was of a section of the Tongtian River, and the words in the painting were praising the beauty of the entire Tongtian River.
Calligraphy and paintings are of course also treasures, but for the Dragon Girl, their artistic value should be greater than their practical value. However, Ji Yuan can see that she really likes them.
After all, she was the protagonist of the banquet, so the Dragon Girl returned to the main seat after a while. The officials from Dazhen and the Heavenly Masters including the National Master Du Changsheng all felt very honored. After all, no matter if it was because of them or not, it was a fact that the protagonist of the Dragon Transformation Banquet, Empress Ying, sat in their place for quite a while.
Just as Ying Ruoli returned to her seat, Ying Feng left his table, came up to her, and toasted her with a smile.
"Ruoli, apart from bringing you back from Jiangkou, I haven't formally congratulated you on your transformation into a dragon. Come, have a drink with me."
"Brother..."
"Ruoli, drink."
Ying Feng drank the wine in the cup. Seeing that Long Nu had also drunk the wine, he sat down beside her without saying anything, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured himself a glass of wine, drinking one glass after another...
The old dragon on the side snorted coldly and glared at Longzi fiercely.
"Humph, nonsense. With your current appearance, you think you can turn into a dragon?"
Longzi was still very afraid of his father. Normally, he would have shrunk and retreated to the side, but today he did not leave and just looked at Old Long.
"Dad, today is a good day. I just want to drink."
As he spoke, Ying Feng poured himself another cup, and the Dragon Mother on the side pulled the old dragon's sleeve.
"Husband, let him be today..."
"Hmph. It's up to you."
The dragon girl also poured herself some wine and clinked glasses with the dragon son.
"Brother, I'll accompany you."
"Hehehe, good, Ruoli is still the best... This wine tastes good too. Today I finally understand why Uncle Ji likes to drink so much..."
Ying Ruoli drank the wine in the glass and took the initiative to pour more wine for Ying Feng.
"Brother, Mr. Ji drinks to taste the flavor of the wine, not the way you taste it. I believe Mr. Ji would not like to drink this kind of wine..."
"Ruoli, you are right. It is a real dragon after all. There is more truth in your words. I admire you, brother. Let's drink..."
The dragon girl frowned and reached out to hold the dragon son's cup, her voice becoming colder.
"Brother, you can complain if you want to, and it's okay to drown your sorrows in alcohol, but there's no need to pretend to be drunk and vomit. Parents are watching, the four seas dragon clan is watching, and Uncle Ji is watching too. Who are you doing this for? For them, for yourself, or for me?"
Ying Feng was slightly stunned, then looked up at his sister. Seeing Ying Ruoli's eyes as clear as a spring, his heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and his body trembled slightly.
"Ruoli, I..."
When Ying Ruoli saw her brother's look at this moment, she loosened her hand that was pressing on the wine glass and a smile appeared on her face, just like red flowers blooming in the mountains where the ice and snow melted.
"Ruoli has always believed in brother. She believed in him before, and even more so after she turned into a dragon."
"Um!"
Ying Feng drank the wine in the glass, stood up and returned to his seat. He looked up at his sister. Although she was not as majestic as his father, she was able to handle such a big occasion. He looked at his father, who seemed to sigh slightly and subconsciously looked in a direction below. Ji Yuan held the glass in front of him, his eyes staring at the glass as if he was a little dazed, and he held the wine but did not drink it.
"Brother."
The Dragon Girl's voice rang in Long Zi's ears. The latter was slightly stunned, and before he could turn his head, the Dragon Girl's voice came again.
"Brother, you should toast to Uncle Ji."
Longzi nodded, picked up the wine jug and stood up. When he was walking around his seat, Lao Long called him.
"Go and toast to Mr. Ji?"
"yes."
"Hmph, here you go."
Lao Long waved his sleeves towards the table, and the wine jug on his desk floated towards Longzi. The latter subconsciously grabbed the wine jug, weighed it briefly, and then his heart moved. He looked at Lao Long with an inexplicable expression.
"Dad, let's go have a drink with Uncle Ji."
"Go ahead. I can't accompany you today. Please toast him a few more glasses on my behalf."
Although Ji Yuan was looking at the wine glass, he could see from the corner of his eye that Longzi was getting closer and closer to him while chatting with him, and then he bowed slightly to Yin Zhaoxian and came in front of him.
"Uh, Uncle Ji, you're holding the glass but not drinking. What are you doing?"
After Ying Feng paid his respects, seeing that Uncle Ji did not respond, he sat across the table and asked carefully. When he saw Uncle Ji raised his head and looked at him, his eyes, although pale, were as clear as those of the Dragon Girl.
Ji Yuan smiled and said.
"I'm waiting for you to drink with me, but it seems that the wine in your jug is better than the one on my table."
After saying that, Ji Yuan drank the wine in his hand and handed the glass to Ying Feng. The latter smiled, picked up the wine jug and filled Ji Yuan's glass. The wine that was poured out was exactly ambergris.
After pouring one glass, Ying Feng also poured one for Yin Zhaoxian.
"Please drink this wine, Lord Yin."
Yin Zhaoxian smiled and looked at the wine in the glass, which was exactly the same as the one he had in the Ju'an Pavilion back then.
