Chapter 159 Green Waist Dance

above the hall.

When Helancha came in, Xie Chengyi was already sitting upright.

Helancha walked over involuntarily.

Xie Chengyi picked up the jade cup and stared at Helancha who was walking over.

"General Xie, you have great composure." Helan Cha said to Xie Chengyi.

Xie Chengyi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Helan Cha.

"General Xie, have you seen Huo Aying, the new person I added to the marriage list?" Helan Cha was looking at Xie Chengyi's expression.

Xie Chengyi frowned, "Your Majesty, it's better not to be funny. Ah Ying can't go!"

Seeing Xie Chengyi so confident, Helancha found it even more interesting, "How do you know Miss Ying has no idea?"

Xie Chengyi stared at Helancha instead, and said word by word: "Aying is mine!"

Seeing Xie Chengyi's red eyes and fierce expression, Helancha raised the corner of his lips playfully, "Really?"

Immediately, the eunuch's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty has arrived! Imperial Concubine Sheng has arrived!"

Only then did Helancha slowly turn back to his seat.

Xie Chengyi's expression remained unclear.

When Helancha sat down, his heart began to beat fast. Xie Chengyi seemed to be so concerned, maybe he was doing it on purpose. He must be using this method to stimulate him.

Xie Chengyi must have felt that he had fought with him for so many years and would definitely not give up the opportunity to compete with him.

Thinking of this, Helan Cha felt that Xie Chengyi was not the fool that the outside world said he was.

Besides, after Xiao Wenzhan and Sheng Xinlan arrived at the hall, their expressions were extremely solemn, especially Sheng Xinlan. Her only daughter, Xiao Chuyi, was also going to be chosen today, but this Helan Cha was really out of her sight. She could only pray that Helan Cha would look at other noble ladies more favorably.

It was also at this time that Sheng Xinlan learned that Helan Cha had added Aying's name. She was so happy. In terms of appearance, Huo Aying was indeed slightly better. As long as she didn't let her daughter go, it didn't matter who she fell in love with.

So, for the first time ever, when Sheng Xinlan came, she asked her maid to give Aying a string of rare red agate, saying that it would not be good to have it too plain at the palace banquet, and it would at least show the style of a country.

Ah Ying naturally knew what Sheng Xinlan was thinking, but she still accepted it with pleasure.

Everyone is gambling, and this is just adding weight to the stakes.

"Prince Helan!" Xiao Wenzhang raised his voice.

Helancha immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

"Today we are welcoming Nanjing and celebrating the fact that our two countries can get along well and live in peace and prosperity!" Xiao Wenzhan raised his glass.

Helancha was naturally very pleased, and immediately stood up and raised his glass: "I wish the North Jin and the South a peaceful and prosperous sea and river!"

Drink.

The dance music gradually became louder.

The pearl curtain was lifted slightly, and a group of dancers walked in with smiles on their faces.

Xiao Chuyi was originally scheduled to be there, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of her.

Then Yao Jinxian came up wearing a beautiful moon-colored gauze dress with a faint smile.

As the sound of the jade flute began, her body began to dance faster and faster. Her jade-like hands lingered gracefully, her skirt fluttered, her eyes were like smoke, she seemed to be unable to speak, her eyes were dancing, and she was like a flower in the mist, hazy and ethereal, flashing with beautiful colors, yet so far away...

For the first time, Helan Cha realized that not all women in Northern Jin were lively and graceful, but there were also such dainty and sensitive women.

Xiao Wenzhang glanced at Sheng Xinlan, also exerting pressure. Chuyi was completely absent at such an important occasion. Xiao Wenzhang's dissatisfaction can be imagined. While Jinxian attracted Helancha's attention, Sheng Xinlan hurriedly asked Suoqin who came hurriedly, "Where is the princess?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Suo Qin handed a letter to Sheng Xinlan with an embarrassed look on his face, "My lady, take a look."

Sheng Xinlan slightly turned sideways and anxiously opened the letter, only to see the following words written on it:

Mother, I don't want to marry such a person! Please explain it to my father."

The signature is Xiao Chuyi.

Sheng Xinlan frowned and sighed secretly that she had spoiled this child too much. What kind of occasion could allow him to be so willful?
By the time Sheng Xinlan came to her senses, Xiao Wenzhan's expression had become extremely embarrassed.

"Where is Chuyi?" Xiao Wenzhan asked in a low voice with a serious face.

Sheng Xinlan quickly replied: "She feels a little uncomfortable."

Xiao Wenzhang was furious. "I saw her jumping around in the afternoon when she was enjoying the flowers!"

Although it was not said explicitly, every word struck Sheng Xinlan's heart.

Xiao Wen Zhang had said in advance that as a princess, she didn't have to perform a dance, she just had to stay at the palace banquet obediently.

But even with such a simple request, Chu Yi was unwilling to do it. How could Xiao Wen Zhang not be angry!
Afterwards, during the break, Helancha made an excuse to go out.

The attendant reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the third princess has not appeared yet."

Helancha looked a little depressed. It seemed that Xiao Wenzhang looked down on him too much.

As soon as I walked to the rockery nearby, I heard someone say, "The third princess said she would never marry that murderous demon Helancha!"

Another maid said in disbelief: "Did the princess really say that?"

"Of course not! The princess said that it was a marriage of peace, but it was just a hostage. Our Majesty has always liked the third princess, so he naturally doesn't want to let her suffer. That's why the third princess has the courage to escape from the palace today."

Outside the rockery, Helancha's expression became increasingly ugly.

"By the way, have you heard that the Imperial Concubine sent a string of rare red agate to Huo Aying? I heard it's worth a fortune!"

"So what? You just want Huo Aying to work harder so that she can marry Nanjing in place of the Third Princess?"

Then, a cat appeared from nowhere and rushed to a high place with a "meow".

The two palace maids who were chatting inside also shut up and went out from the other side.

The attendant looked at his master and reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back."

Ah Ying, who was waiting in the wings and about to go on stage, was looking at the string of red agates in deep thought.

"What's wrong, girl?" Su Jian was always paying attention to the movements outside. Seeing that Aying was still in a daze, she asked worriedly.

Ah Ying heaved a long sigh and said, "The Imperial Concubine is just afraid that I won't be chosen..."

Su Jian was still worried and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what if that Prince Helan really has feelings for you?"

Ah Ying looked at her clothes dimly and said calmly, "Don't worry, he won't choose me!"

Su Jian looked at her own girl with a melancholy look on her face. If it came down to talent and beauty, no one could compete with her...

But the eunuch had already come to inform Aying that she was ready.

Ah Ying put on her veil slowly, tied the string of red agate diagonally around her waist, and walked towards the hall with a calm expression.

The sound of string music was slow and lingering, like a dream. Ah Ying slowly stepped in like a willow swaying in the wind.

But when Helan Cha looked at it, he was stunned for a moment. Is this - is this - the Green Waist Dance?
