"Since it's a feast, how can there not be music and dancing to liven things up?" one of them said, taking advantage of the wine.

"This …" Lu Annian said in embarrassment. Because he had never thought of inviting a singer before, when his subordinate brought it up, he suddenly remembered that his current identity was different, and the things he should consider were also different.

Kaixian, who had just spoken, felt the silence around him and finally realized that he had said something he shouldn't have. He was so shocked that he put down the wine cup in his hand and quickly said, "Please forgive us, my lord. It was I's drunken speech just now. Please do not take it to heart."

Originally, they wanted to let this matter go, but Liu Yingxue suddenly spoke out, "It's just a banquet, how can there be no singing and dancing?"

When they had entered earlier, everyone's attention had been focused on her. However, due to her following Ruan Xiaonuan at her side, and the fact that no female members of the family had inquired about it, even now, no one knew who she really was. When she finally opened her mouth to speak, Lu Annian asked, "This is?"

"This is my cousin, Liu Ying." Ruan Xiaonuan hurriedly said. She stealthily glanced at Liu Yingxue, telling her to be quiet.

However, how could she listen to Ruan Xiaonuan? She smiled gently, and suddenly stood up, curtseying down slightly, she said: "This little girl greets all the Masters."

Hearing her call herself Gu Junxiu, everyone knew that she was not Gu Junxiu's woman. As if she hadn't noticed it at all, Liu Yingxue continued, "If Master Lu hasn't arranged any songs or dances for us, then this little girl can help all the lords in the room with a dance."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at her doubtfully. Wasn't she supposed to be arrogant? Why did she suddenly start dancing in front of everyone? Although she was the best dancer in the world, she had never danced in front of anyone else, other than a few close friends.

"May I know which dance Miss Liu is dancing? I know a bit about music, and I can play it for you. " Lu Annian said in an astonishing tone.

"Willow branches." Liu Yingxue's red lips slightly opened as she gently spat out two words.

"What is a willow branch?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked softly.

Mo Yan looked at her strangely, then explained, "The Willow Branch is a song from the south, although it is an expression of the injury, it is still considered a song of love between a man and a woman." Ruan Xiaonuan nodded, she did not understand why Liu Yingxue would choose such a tune.

"Miss, you know the rhythm. Why haven't you heard this before?" Mo Yan voiced out his doubts.

Ruan Xiaonuan hid her intentions, "I forgot, it's time to retrieve Master Lu's flute, let's focus on reading." Mo Yan's attention was finally diverted.

The servant also helped Lu Annian take back the flute. When he held onto the flute, he indicated for Liu Yingxue to start.

In the next moment, Liu Yingxue was on the ground, dancing. It was unknown if it was deliberate or not, but her clothes today were not a burden. Her waist was tied up in a skirt, making her dancing posture look very beautiful. Her figure was so beautiful that it was astonishing.

At the same time, Lu Annian's flute sound also sounded out, fusing together with her dance completely. Although it was a song of farewell, the love in it was superfluous.

Although it was the first time Lu Annian and Liu Yingxue had met, they had an exceptionally tacit understanding, making people feel like they were a pair of lovers that could not be separated.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at them in shock. She didn't know why, but she had a nagging feeling that what happened tonight wouldn't be that simple. Therefore, she was more focused than ever, staring straight at Liu Yingxue, afraid that she would suddenly do something that she did not know about.

This piece of music was very long, but at the end, it was filled with music, be it a dance or a flute, that made people feel reluctant to part with it.

Lu Annian faintly smiled at Liu Yingxue, and then said to Gu Junxiu, "Your Highness, I has made a fool of himself."

Liu Yingxue also slightly Blessed his body, but the eyes of the people sitting in the seat of honor did not rest on her body. He said coldly, "Master Lu's flute is very good." After she finished speaking, she led the applause while the others followed behind him.

"Miss Liu's dance is still the best. I'm just playing with a big knife in front of Master Guan." Lu Annian said humbly.

However, his words did not cause Gu Junxiu's gaze to stop on Liu Yingxue. He only silently toyed with the wine cup. Allowing her to sit there awkwardly, Lu Annian seemed to feel the awkward atmosphere and hurriedly said, "Now that there's a dance, there's also a song, my lords, drink to your heart's content."

Naturally, they would not refuse their superiors' respect. One by one, they toasted each other, feeling extremely happy. However, when Liu Yingxue returned to her seat, he saw Ruan Xiaonuan whispering something to Gu Junxiu, and a gentle smile appeared on his face; it was as if she was a completely different person from before. "Traitor!"

My lords, my cousin's singing throat is as beautiful as a lark's, but I do not know whether my cousin would like to let my lords have a singing throat." She looked at Ruan Xiaowang with a faint smile.

Everyone was completely silent, who didn't know that Ruan Xiaonuan was someone that Gu Junxiu treasured. Even if they wanted to hear it, they didn't dare to say it out loud.

She felt that all eyes were focused on her, and for a moment she didn't know whether to agree or refuse. Gu Junxiu acted as if he knew about her predicament, and suddenly said, "Ruan Ruan doesn't understand the music, everyone please continue to drink."

When he said this, everyone understood what he meant. No one dared to say anything else and continued drinking. But Liu Yingxue was different. She directly cut through his words and said to them, "Cousin sister and I grew up together, so her singing voice is often praised by others. Is Your Highness not even willing to give up on this? "

Ruan Xiaonuan knew that if she did not see him make a fool of himself today, she would not let this go. Furthermore, Shen Yuerong did not know how to make any sound, as this was something that everyone in Ling Yue Kingdom knew. She suddenly felt that keeping Liu Yingxue by her side might have been the wrong decision.

She made Gu Junxiu no longer have to speak up for her and instead stood up and said, "Since Master Lu is not preparing today, then I will make a fool of myself here on his account." She had purposely said it on Lu Annian's account, not because of him.

Because she knew that no one here would know of this tune, she did not let the accompaniment go, Ruan Xiaonuan directly began to sing. There are trees and branches in the mountain, but Xi Men do not know. I recited the poem into Acacia, the dream to find your shadow... ", the voice is ethereal and pleasant to listen to.
