Chapter 24 Sister and Brother Celebrate Birthday Everyone was shocked, thinking there was an assassin. However, white clothes were seen fluttering, and a woman in white appeared on the drum. When they saw the man's face, they were slightly stunned, but they felt relieved. The woman held a soft sword in her hand, and with a nimble posture, she swung the sword towards the man. The young man in red curled his lips, turned his long sleeves, turned sideways, and dropped a needle. The woman failed in her first attack and tried again. On the stage, white clothes are fluttering, swords are shining coldly, red clothes are dancing, long sleeves are fluttering, red petals are falling, and the picture is beautiful. Everyone was so attracted by the dance scene on the stage that they even forgot to breathe and only remembered staring in amazement. There was only one person in the scene, drinking wine leisurely and calmly, unmoved by the stunning scene, without any ripples. It was the end of the performance on the stage. The man in red jumped lithely onto the attacking sword and placed the last needle.
A spectacular landscape painting appeared before everyone. In the distance there are towering mountains, the setting sun, the peaks and ridges, and the clouds and mist. What is even more surprising is that a huge "Shou" character appears in the middle, as if it is integrated into the landscape painting, with bright colors and vivid lifelikeness. It can be seen that the person who embroidered this picture has superb needlework skills, which seems to have reached the pinnacle. For a moment, all the ministers looked at the Third Princess with amazement and admiration. I wonder what kind of person would a man with such charming dancing skills, excellent embroidery skills, and both talent and beauty marry? The wife of such a man would hold him in the palm of her hand and pamper him. "I wish my father a long life and good health!" "I wish you a long life, good health, and freedom from all diseases!" A clear, warm and pleasant male voice and a loud female voice rang out together. "Haha, after not seeing each other for a few months, Xue'er actually gave Mother the Emperor and Father such a surprise. Not bad, it seems that she didn't fall behind in her studies during her trip out of the palace." Her son and daughter made her proud, and their outstanding performance was truly amazing. Ji Yao was delighted to see Di Ran's depression disappear. Glancing at the woman in white beside Ji Ruxue, although she was accusing and scolding him, her tone contained kindness and concern. "Shang'er, your injury hasn't healed yet, why are you still playing with your brother?" Ji Huashang touched his left arm. The wound was an old one from a hidden arrow shot during the last rebellion. The wound was on his left arm. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous and the wound was not deep. After nearly a month of recuperation, it was almost healed. Thinking about this, she smiled at Ji Yao and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. My injury has almost healed, so it's okay. But my brother is exhausted from the journey, and he has to practice dancing for our father's birthday when he returns to the palace. As a sister, I feel sorry for him and want to help him." Ji Yao: "Haha, you two have always had a good relationship. You two can help each other, and I am very happy that the sister is kind and the brother is filial." Ji Ruxue bowed and smiled: "Mother Queen, Father Queen, I want to go downstairs and change my clothes first." Murong Hua saw that it was indeed inconvenient for him to wear the dance costume, so he agreed.
"Go." "Then, Madam Queen, I will take my leave now." Ji Ruxue was about to leave, but when she turned sideways, she caught a glimpse of a stunning face and was startled, and stopped in her tracks. Seeing that person seemed to look up at her, she was so scared that she quickly looked away, her long sleeves slightly tightened, and her heart was pounding. The delicate and beautiful face felt a little hot, and her fair skin was slightly flushed. As if she realized she had lost her composure, she quickly concealed her emotions, turned around shyly, and left in a hurry. This scene happened briefly and no one noticed. And Di Ran had no idea that he had attracted a romantic encounter without knowing it. On this side, Ji Huashang ordered people to present gifts. "Mother Queen, Father Queen, these are two thousand-year-old ginsengs that I accidentally found while suppressing the rebellion. I wanted to bring them back to nourish your health." "Although the palace does not lack these, they are also my sincere gifts. I hope my mother, the emperor, and my father, the empress, will not despise them." (End of this chapter)
