Chapter 655 Holding Hands (4)
For a moment, all eyes were on her, some were surprised, some were relieved, some were interested, and some were waiting to see a good show...
Cousin Xiao? ! Nangong Tsang almost cried out, a pair of slender white hands couldn't help clenching into fists, and he was worried about Bai Muxiao's ignorance. The emperor couldn't deal with the envoys of Xi Rong, not to mention that Bai Muxiao was only a slender woman. Even if she could play the qin and tune, it was just a word from the envoy. If the envoy speaks rudely and slurs, it will ruin the reputation of the cousin!
In the eyes of everyone, Bai Muxiao remained calm, waiting for the emperor's decision.
Of course Bai Muxiao understood that she was taking a risk, and that she might make a wrong move and lose everything. But now she has nothing to lose. She is not a good card at all, her father is dead, she has no brothers, and her father's clan is greedy and ugly, so she has to return with her mother... Now her worst outcome is nothing but Follow the mother for life and never marry! What is she afraid of! What's not to bet against!
The so-called "seeking wealth and wealth at risk", in her identity, if she wants to meet such nobles as the emperor and the queen, maybe only once in her life, the opportunity is fleeting, she must seize every possible opportunity to change her destiny !
The emperor stared directly at Bai Muxiao for a moment, his deep sea-like eyes made it impossible to see his thoughts, if a timid woman, under the emperor's majestic eyes, she would be weak, but Bai Muxiao would be weak. Mu Xiao did not, she kept her knees bent and looked at the emperor without blinking.
Finally, the emperor nodded slowly: "Okay, then it's up to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Muxiao bowed to thank her, the corners of her mouth curved under the veil, and she said to herself, "This is what she's asking for! As long as the emperor is willing to give it to her, she believes that with her ability, these two Xirong people who have never seen the world will be able to open their eyes!
Following that, Bai Muxiao saluted to Princess Yuncheng, "His Royal Highness Princess, can I share a long sword with the girl."
Obviously, she should be performing a sword dance. It is not unusual for a woman to perform a sword dance, but Bai Muxiao was not born in a family of military commanders. Judging from her stature and temperament, she is also very delicate, and she doesn't look like a swordsman at all.
Nangong Tsang was anxious: How could cousin Xiao be able to use a sword! If something happened to this, how could it be good?
The two Xirong envoys glanced at each other with contempt in their eyes, such a little girl, can she hold a sword? Simply overwhelmed!
Yun Cheng gave crescent a wink, and after a while, crescent brought a sword and handed it to Bai Muxiao.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Eldest Princess!" After Bai Muxiao thanked her with her sword in her arms, she walked to the center of the water pavilion in the eyes of everyone, and then faced the Empress and the two Xirong envoys, standing with her sword in hand.
Her original temperament was very weak, as if she would collapse when the wind blew, she was very pitiful, but after taking the sword, she had a more heroic aura, cold, as clear as running water, with a pair of black pupils shining brightly.
Nangong Yue looked at Bai Muxiao thoughtfully, and couldn't help remembering that it was the same in her previous life. Bai Muxiao, who had returned with her aunt, was very different from her childhood Bai Muxiao. The different brilliance attracted countless eyes, including Han Lingfu...
"Hey, little girl!" Shamen Qibi sneered, "This general advises you to stop making trouble, the sword is not something you can play with as a little girl, it's a small matter of hurting yourself, if you ruin you like a flower With a jade-like face, I'm afraid you won't be able to marry in your whole life!" He laughed frivolously, his tone and eyes full of contempt.
