Chapter 45: Dancing at Night (5)
On an outer stage of Gu Yue Xuan, the veils around moved in the wind. Was it affected by the dancing figure in the middle of the stage? Even though there were no lights around and only the faint light of the moon, Feng Qinghan knew that the person dancing was Yin Yin, and her dancing posture was still so beautiful...
She was as light as a swallow and danced gracefully, with her slender hands slightly extended and her long sleeves flying in the air. The colorful clothes on her arms moved with her. Even without the accompaniment of music, each of her movements was indescribably beautiful. Under the night sky, the bright white moonlight fell on her dancing figure, and her light blue dress made her even more beautiful and wonderful, like a fairy in the Moon Palace. Feng Qinghan was deeply intoxicated by it. Compared with what he saw at the imperial banquet, this moment made Feng Qinghan forget himself completely and immersed himself in Yin Yin's wonderful dance alone.
'roar--'.
A tiger roar told Feng Qinghan that someone was approaching. In fact, Feng Qinghan knew someone was approaching even without the tiger roar, but he didn't want to miss any of Yin Yin's dance moves, so he pretended not to know until Lei'er came to his side...
"Mr. Feng, please follow me——"
Lei'er had seen Feng Qinghan before, so she was not charmed by him. However, she still came shyly to lead the way for him. Feng Qinghan raised his hand and waved it slightly, implying not to disturb Yinyin on the stage and to wait a moment. Lei'er was not stupid and understood the meaning very well, so she didn't say anything more.
The dance is over.
Applause broke out.
"Mr. Feng——"
Following the source of the applause, Yin Yin looked towards Feng Qinghan.
"The princess's dancing is always so beautiful, it really makes me dream about it all the time--"
"Mr. Feng, thank you for the compliment. Lei'er, why don't you bring Mr. Feng in——"
"Yes, Mr. Feng, please!"
Feng Qinghan and Yinyin looked at each other and then entered Gu Yue Xuan with Lei'er. Because there was a fence around this place, a small banquet had already been set up inside the pavilion...
"Welcome, Mr. Feng——"
"My Lord, you are so polite. I am so lucky to be entertained by you—"
"Please take a seat!"
The spacious hall was small and unique. Yinyin and Feng Qinghan sat opposite each other. Yinyin was served by Xiuying, while Lei'er served Feng Qinghan. Baihu walked behind Yinyin and lay down, as if he was protecting her...
"I heard from my father that it was because you gave me the 'Flame Flower' that I was able to have what I have today, so I will first offer you a toast—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Yin raised her glass and drank it all. In fact, what Yin Yin drank was not real wine, but fruit juice that looked like wine, because she could not drink alcohol, and she had also used fruit juice instead at the royal banquet before.
"The princess has a good alcohol tolerance——"
"Well, excuse me, sir, this isn't actually wine—"
Yin Yin put down the wine glass and spoke.
"Well?"
"Please forgive me here, my dear. I have never drunk alcohol since I was a child, so I am not very strong in alcohol. This is just a kind of fruit juice instead of water wine. I hope you can forgive me. And at the imperial banquet--"
"Oh? So that's how it is. Princess, you worry too much. If you don't drink too much, why would I mind? Besides, you can use tea or juice instead of alcohol. It doesn't have to be real alcohol."
"I'm glad you can understand. But sir, I saw that you can drink quite a lot at the imperial banquet?"
"No, no, it's just normal—"
"By the way, I believe you have already heard from my father , right? I hope you can take back the gift you sent during the day. Yinyin can't afford it—"
Yin Yin began to get to the point, appearing to be very natural.
"How could that be? The princess is a rare talent among men, how could she not deserve it? In my opinion, I deserve it."
"Why do I deserve such a gift from you, sir?"
"If you must give a reason, then just consider it as a gift from me to the princess."
A reason that couldn't be simpler made Yin Yin silent instantly. Could this be considered a reason? It really looked like...
"Sir, this——"
"You are the darling of the contemporary Prime Minister Zhang, and you are also the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You are also known as the 'world's best dancer'. I feel that the gifts you sent are too shallow. Please don't be offended, Princess—"
"How could it be——"
"I hope you don't mind, Princess. In that case, please accept it."
Before Yin Yin finished speaking, Feng Qinghan would take over. By the time she came to her senses, it seemed as if she had been led astray. Unconsciously, it seemed that what he said was correct and very reasonable, leaving Yin Yin speechless.
"Oh--"
Yin Yin covered her mouth with her hands and couldn't help laughing.
"Are you making fun of me, Princess?"
"No, sorry, I'm sorry, I just think that Mr. Feng is really a man who is good at speaking. I have had this feeling since the first time we met--"
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"We never talk much, but I always follow your thoughts, and your words always make people happy. If not good at speaking, what else can I say? Ah, this should be called good at sweet talk, right?"
How to describe her in the next sentence? Yinyin smiled, and looking at her smiling, Feng Qinghan felt an indescribable joy in his heart, warm and happy, a feeling he had never had before...
"Eh? What are you looking at, young master?"
Realizing that Feng Qinghan was staring at her, Yin Yin couldn't help but restrain herself a little and asked.
