Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Anniversary Banquet (End) (Two in One Chapter)(1/3)
The beautiful music of the piano, the dim moonlight, and the swinging candlelight create a wasteful atmosphere for the lovers under the tree.
Since Bai Qiannuo had practiced dancing with Feng Yinu almost every day some time ago, she had naturally mastered the steps of the waltz. She and Li Qi swayed gently in the romantic atmosphere, immersed in it selflessly.
Their eyes met each other, overflowing with tenderness.
Bai Qiannuo's pair of eyes that looked clearer and brighter under the moonlight shocked Li Qi. He slowly lowered his head and kissed Bai Qiannuo's bright cherry mouth gently.
Bai Qiannuo had already given her heart to him. She closed her eyes lightly, breathed softly, and allowed him to take advantage of her soft little lips.
Li Qi was also addicted to it for a moment. He couldn't help but hugged Bai Qiannuo's slender waist, and his hot tongue rushed into her small mouth. He found the bright red small tongue and gently teased it. A faint fragrance flowed in.
In the mouth, there is an indescribable sweetness and charm, as if you are tasting the most delicious delicacy at the banquet.
Li Qi's enthusiasm made Bai Qiannuo feel dizzy for a while, and he stood on his toes, wrapping his hands around Li Qi's neck, and responded shyly.
At this time, Bai Shizhong, who was sitting at the banquet watching the dance, never expected that his precious daughter was kissing a cook not far away. If he knew about this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood and die on the spot.
.
The song is over.
The sound of the piano disappears.
That Feng Yinu stood up, came to the middle of the venue, and stepped forward with the ten dancers to salute Song Huizong.
Song Huizong and a group of ministers seemed to be still reminiscing about the dance just now, and they didn't react. After a while, Song Huizong suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "Okay, good dance. Haha."
The rest of the people also applauded.
When the ten dancers saw everyone's reaction, their eyes were filled with unconcealable joy. A month ago, none of them could have imagined that they would be praised by the emperor and other high officials in the court. For them, this is simply a blessing.
A huge honor.
"I didn't expect that today I would not only be able to taste delicious food, but also enjoy such a delightful dance. It is really a worthwhile trip. I will definitely be rewarded heavily." Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty stroked his beard. His face was filled with joy and he laughed loudly.
"The daughter of the people (little man) kowtows to thank the emperor for the generous reward. Long live, long live, long live."
Feng Yinu and the other dancers all knelt down.
"Everyone, get up."
Song Huizong nodded and praised Feng Yinu: "Ms. Feng, the new music you performed this time and the new dance you choreographed are really stunning. I like it very much."
Feng Yinu twitched the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "To tell you what the emperor is saying, in fact, neither this dance nor this music was composed by a folk girl."
"oh?"
Song Huizong was stunned and asked curiously: "Who is that?"
"It was composed by Li Qi." Feng Yinu answered truthfully.
"What? Him again?"
Song Huizong couldn't help but say something like this. He turned to look at Cai Jing and his son with questioning eyes, as if he still couldn't believe it.
Cai Suan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty. In fact, Li Qi arranged everything from the dishes to the dance music for this banquet."
At this time, Song Huizong couldn't help but not believe it, and the ministers also felt it was incredible.
Is this guy really a cook?
You can cook, draw, choreograph and compose music. You won’t have to recite poems and compose music later, right?
However, even if Li Qizhen recited the poem later, they would not feel anything wrong because they were already numb.
"Where is Li Qi?"
Song Huizong suddenly shouted.
But after a while, there was still no answer. He shouted a few more times, but there was still no trace of Li Qi. He frowned and said, "Where did this kid go?"
Ordinary people would never let go of this opportunity to serve the emperor, but Li Qi disdained it. As soon as he had the opportunity, he sneaked away, making Song Huizong look embarrassed.
Cai Jing could only smile bitterly in response.
Under the tree, Li Qizheng and Bai Qiannuo were enjoying themselves. Although the music had stopped, they were still immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Suddenly, a cry woke them up, "Brother Li, Brother Li."
The two of them separated like lightning, and then Bai Qiannuo remembered that his father was sitting not far away. She blushed so hard that even the moonlight couldn't cover her up, and buried her head deeply into her chest.
Li Qi turned around and saw Xiaoyu running over in a hurry. His expression tightened and he asked, "Xiaoyu, what happened again?"
Xiaoyu gasped and said: "Brother Li, the emperor is looking for you."
Damn! Here we go again.
Li Qi became depressed and said, "What does the emperor want from me again?"
Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It seems to be because of the mooting incident. You should go quickly. The emperor can't wait any longer."
Bai Qiannuo heard this and said hurriedly: "Brother Li, go quickly."
"Okay, okay, I'll go."
Li Qi scratched his head in annoyance and muttered: "Isn't it just a meal? This is too much trouble."
When Li Qi came to the venue, everyone in the venue was staring at him, with blank faces on their faces. He couldn't help but secretly wonder why the atmosphere was so strange!
Song Huizong glanced at Li Qi and said displeasedly: "Li Qi, where were you just now?"
"Kitchen!" Li Qi said casually.
"What are you doing in the kitchen?"
Sweating! How dare you ask this question?
Li Qi said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, I am a cook and I usually stay in the kitchen."
"Oh, I almost forgot that you are also a cook."
Song Huizong patted his forehead and asked with a wry smile: "By the way, I heard that you arranged the dance just now?"
Li Qi nodded blankly and said, "Yes, doesn't the emperor like it?"
Song Huizong shook his head and said: "I like it very much, but I don't understand what the composition and choreography has to do with the cook."
Sweat! So that’s what happened.
Li Qi smiled and said: "It does matter, of course it does."
Song Huizong smiled and said: "Then you can tell me and listen."
"yes."
Li Qi bowed and said: "I have said it before. Cooks are inextricably linked to everyone's health, and they are doing the dance--"
"Dance for profit?" Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty said blankly.
"Oh, the dance they did just now at Feng Xingshou is called the oil-grabbing dance."
"Oh, this name is quite strange. Does it have something to do with you being a cook?"
"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what it is."
Li Qi flattered him and continued: "Actually, the original intention of me creating this mopping dance was not for people to appreciate. I also wanted to help everyone exercise, just like taking a walk. After everyone has eaten dinner and has nothing to do at home, you might as well join us.
Asking the wife to dance to a song will not only promote the digestion of food in the stomach, but also enhance the relationship between husband and wife. If this continues, it will naturally prolong life."
Seeing that what Li Qi said was reasonable, everyone nodded in agreement, but they were all thinking about their concubine.
"I see."
Song Huizong nodded and said with a smile: "So, this dance should be danced by a man and a woman."
He is indeed an artistic genius, and he hit the nail on the head.
Li Qi nodded his head, and the reason was self-evident.
Song Huizong nodded in understanding, and then asked: "Can you dance this dance?"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Of course I will. I choreographed this dance. If I don't know how, how can I teach Feng Xingshou."
Song Huizong asked: "It was you who taught you to confer the title of Lady?"
Li Qi nodded subconsciously.
Song Huizong nodded and said: "In that case, it couldn't be better. I just regretted that I didn't see Lady Feng's graceful dance. Then you can dance it again and show me. Anyway, you must have danced before.
Pass."
Day. This old guy is deliberately tricking me and cutting off my escape route!
Li Qi opened his mouth slightly and looked at Song Huizong blankly. For a while, he really couldn't find any reason to reject him.
Feng Yinu also looked depressed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this---I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, Master Li and I are different between men and women."
Song Huizong did not accept her favor, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, since I asked you to dance, if anyone dares to say anything wrong about you, I will uphold justice for you." As he said this, he scanned the audience again.
, said: "What do you think, dear friends?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
Everyone shouted in unison.
