After waiting for a while, the music and dancing stopped completely, and when everyone applauded, Li Longji realized that he had finished dancing.
Everyone was waiting for him to speak. After all, he was the emperor. If he didn't praise him first, how could the others speak?
"Ahem." Li Longji coughed twice, and said with a happy smile: "Okay, good dance! This dance is very wonderful, but I think this dance is more suitable for Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yuyao."
A minister in the distance suddenly stood up and saluted:
"What your Majesty said is true. This piece of music was actually composed for the two of them. The so-called perfect combination, the two of them dancing to perfection, is naturally not something that ordinary dancers can match."
"Oh? Is this happening? Hahahahaha... Look, I still understand them."
"It's a pity that although I know music, I can't create this kind of music. Otherwise, I would have to let the two of them show off their dancing..."
As he spoke, Li Longji suddenly froze for a moment and found that many people were staring at him.
Knowing that he was a little embarrassed, he suddenly looked at An Lushan who was huddled in the corner.
"An Lushan, do you understand music?"
An Lushan was slightly startled, he didn't expect that the emperor could ask this question on his head.
He looked at Li Yunxiao with a look of asking for permission. After all, in his heart, he could not afford to offend either the Imperial Master or the Emperor.
As soon as this look came out, Li Longji deepened his tone: "I am asking you something..."
An Lushan stretched his neck and shouted: "I understand, but I don't understand either!"
"What's the meaning?"
"That's it...this tune. If I can still play a few words in a small talk, but if I talk about it seriously and show off in front of you, then it's over..."
"Ha ha ha ha...."
His outspoken appearance made many people laugh.
An Lushan scratched his head: "In fact, in my opinion, His Majesty just said that he couldn't create music. I think Your Majesty is too humble."
"Oh? Do you think I'm being humble?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are an eternal king, with great civility and martial virtue, and omnipotent. It's just a piece of music. How can it be difficult to live with you?"
"Also, although I don't understand music, I can dance. As long as Your Majesty and the Imperial Master give me permission, I am willing to dance to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme Emperor!"
"puff!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard the sneer. Li Longji looked at Yang Yuyao who was covering his mouth and laughing lightly and asked: "Yang Yuyao, why are you laughing?"
Yang Yuyao stood up and saluted: "My little girl is rude. I hope your majesty will forgive you."
"It's okay, just keep talking."
Yang Yuyao glanced at An Lushan's round belly: "Look, Your Majesty, his belly looks like it's eight months pregnant. How can he dance?"
Yang Yuyao's words made Li Longji laugh out loud.
No wonder she said that. This song was specially made for them. The main thing is that it is light and attractive. An Lushan is fat and wide, so how can he dance?
An Lushan patted his belly and laughed: "The little one is indeed fat, but it doesn't hinder his flexibility."
"I'm not bragging. When I finish dancing, the Emperor will definitely like it!"
Li Longji looked at his father, Li Dan smiled lightly and said, "Are you really going to jump?"
"You are now the boss of Xiaolou named by the Emperor. With your figure, if you twist your waist and neck, you will lose this good opportunity."
An Lushan waved his hand: "Don't worry, this little thing will twist your waist, and the little one might as well die."
"You guys don't know. When I was riding on the border, I was bumpy every day and nothing happened. Now I'm dancing for the Supreme Emperor. How can anything happen?"
Li Dan nodded: "Okay, that's right!"
An Lushan kowtowed in thanks.
"Your Majesty Xie, what the younger one wants to dance is actually not the dance they danced, but the Hu Xuan Dance which is also very popular in Chang'an."
Hu Xuanwu!
Hearing this word, Li Yunxiao turned his head slightly to look at Yuan Tiangang's voice transmission.
"When did Hu Xuan Dance become popular in the Tang Dynasty?"
"It has only become popular in recent years, why? Brother Yunxiao, have you forgotten that Taizong asked the Turkic Khan to dance the Hu Xuan Dance?"
Li Yunxiao was slightly startled and couldn't help but look through the window at the sky in the distance.
"Brother Li..."
Hearing the coldness in Li Yunxiao's tone, Yuan Tiangang was a little confused: "Why are you so worried?"
Li Yunxiao shook his head: "It's nothing, just a sigh of relief. At first, Taizong intended to humiliate the Turkic Khan, but now this dance has become a cycle of cause and effect."
Yuan Tiangang patted Li Yunxiao on the shoulder: "This dance was brought to the Central Plains by Jieli Khan, and it is now flourishing. One dance cannot be regarded as cause and effect."
"Well, you're right, it really doesn't count. Let's continue reading."
An Lushan agreed to dance and stood in the middle, but Yang Yuyao suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, this Hu Xuanwu is quite difficult. I think it would be better to call the imperial doctor for him, lest you get a bloody head in a while."
Li Longji, Li Dan and others looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads at Yang Yuyao, who was always at odds with An Lushan.
An Lushan sighed: "Look, I am a martial arts practitioner. You still can't trust me, so why not let's make a bet?"
Li Dan smiled lightly and said, "What do you want to bet on?"
An Lushan knelt on the ground: "How dare I gamble with the Supreme Emperor? I want to gamble with Yang Yuyao."
When Yang Yuyao heard this, a smile flashed in her eyes: "I don't mind betting against you, but unfortunately, you have nothing now. What will you use as a bet if you lose?"
An Lushan was suddenly startled.
Indeed, he could have sent some special products from the Turkic border, such as deer, but now he has nothing. There is a Xiaolou boss in name, but he hasn’t gone yet, and there are more in his pocket. Not a penny.
"This...how did I forget this! Alas!"
An Lushan sighed and came to Li Yunxiao with a defeated look on his face, crying.
"Emperor Master..."
Just as Yuan Tiangang was about to speak, Li Yunxiao interrupted in advance: "If An Lushan loses, I, Li Yunxiao, will bear the expenses of your stay in Xiaolou from now on."
When An Lushan heard Li Yunxiao's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply.
In the final analysis, he is just a servant with no identity. He was able to get Li Yunxiao's promise not long after their first meeting. He could not even dream of it!
"Oh? The Imperial Master put out a bet for him. What if he wins? What does the Imperial Master want?" Yang Yuyao immediately became interested when he heard that Li Yunxiao had put out a bet for An Lushan.
Li Yunxiao said calmly: "It's his business if he wins, what does it have to do with me?"
"Well...."
It sounds like this at first glance, but Yang Yuyao wants Li Yunxiao to put forward conditions. Any conditions are acceptable!
An Lushan also felt that if he won, he would have to ask the emperor to set conditions.
"Emperor Master, if you lose, you can tell me the truth. If you win, I will make demands. This is not good."
"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you think, and let go of what's in your heart."
