Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

As the saying goes, there is no false reputation.

As Long is a famous dancer in the State of Zhao, how could the disciples she taught be bad?

Her disciple's first performance naturally attracted a lot of attention. The people here probably came to watch out of curiosity.

But who could have known that the Snow Girl would become famous for her superb dancing skills and beautiful appearance during her first performance.

In the years that followed, she became the most outstanding dancer in the State of Zhao, with dancing skills unrivaled in the world.

clank!

The clear and pleasant sound of the piano rang in my ears.

Su Xuan perked up and looked towards the center of the stage.

A soft and bright light shines on the Feixue Jade Flower Platform.

Zheng!

As the piano music rang out, the candles lit one by one. The bright yellow flames were hot and bright, illuminating a warm color.

Dengdeng!

This is a waiter ringing the bell.

Unconsciously, the rhythm of the piano music gradually became faster, and bright lights lit up on the originally dim Feixue Yuhua Stage.

Only then did everyone present see the scene clearly below the stage. This stage was actually standing in the center of a pool. On both sides of the pool, there were green dragons spewing water that was flowing slowly.

I wonder if this symbolizes the banks of the Yi River in the land of Yan and Zhao.

Before I had time to think about it, I saw golden lotus buds emerging one after another, and the lotus petals blossomed one by one, shining brightly and breathtakingly.

Uh-huh!

The first thing that caught my eye was the cherry blossom-like lips.

A green jade flute, a blue silk ribbon, and snow-like hair.

Her fingers are long and slender, and she is deft and skillful. She gently strokes the jade flute, and the graceful and melodious flute sound reaches her ears, like the chirping of a vermilion bird. The melody is elegant and lively, like a breeze on the lake on a summer night, which makes people calm down involuntarily.

Is this Snow White?

Su Xuan looked carefully and found that it had started snowing in the sky without him noticing.

It turns out that it has gone from late autumn to the light snow season?

A pink curtain slowly descended from the sky. From a distance, one could only see a slender figure, her figure was hazy, standing behind the curtain, playing music on the flute, which was touching.

As the flute music ended, the curtains rolled up and a graceful figure appeared before their eyes.

She was wearing a light blue, waist-baring dance dress decorated with snowflakes, and a silver headband on her head. Her snow-like long hair fell to her waist, and her arms were as white as snow and as beautiful as jade.

She looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with a blue silk ribbon wrapped around her white wrists. She had an enchanting face, a slender figure, and a thin waist that could not be held in one hand. Her deep blue eyes shone like gems, bright and lively.

At this moment, everyone paused. It was hard to imagine that a dancer could be so elegant, graceful and dazzling.

Many people were staring at the Snow Girl in the center of the stage in a daze, their wine glasses falling to the ground and the wine spilling all over the floor without even noticing.

It is conceivable how stunning the Snow Girl's appearance is.

There were still some sounds of conversation, but they all stopped abruptly after the Snow Girl appeared. At this moment, everyone held their breath and looked intently at the Snow Girl in the field.

Clank!

The sound of the piano sounded again, and the Snow Girl began to dance gracefully. She had a soft figure, and her dance moves were elegant and agile, as graceful as a startled swan and as agile as a swimming dragon. Every movement was extremely smooth. Watching her dance was a real pleasure.

Faintly, you can hear the sound of silver bells, which is the sound of silver jewelry colliding with each other.

She was confident and enthusiastic, without any restraint, and displayed her graceful dance moves to the fullest, like a blue lotus on an iceberg, or a cold plum blossom in the cold winter, giving people a transcendental feeling.

She constantly displays her graceful dancing posture in the air, with light and swift steps, full of rhythm, giving people an extreme visual enjoyment.

The dance ended with an elegant dance posture. She turned her body and her long skirt fluttered on the ground, like a blooming lotus.

Bang bang bang!

"The Snow Girl's dancing is graceful and elegant, like flying flowers. Even the best dancers in Zhao State may not be able to beat her. It won't be long before the Snow Girl becomes famous in Zhao State."

Some people applauded and praised.

Chapter 11 Zhao Qian

This is a man with regular features. He is dressed in cloud satin brocade clothes and wears a jade crown on his head. He should have looked elegant and noble, but the actual appearance is quite different.

He has sunken eye sockets, a sickly face, and a frivolous temperament, giving people the feeling that he has indulged himself too much.

"Oh my god, am I seeing things? It's actually Prince Qian. He's also here to watch the dance at Linglong Pavilion!"

"To be praised so highly by the Crown Prince, this Snow Girl will surely become famous very soon!"

"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone bowed in unison, with a respectful look on their faces.

If nothing unexpected happens, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become the king of Zhao in the future.

These people naturally wanted to curry favor with him. If they could take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with the prince, their future careers would not only be smooth sailing, but would at least be promising.

But among this group of people, there were two exceptions who paid no attention at all.

"Brother Su Xuan, you have such superb painting skills!" Jing Ke looked at him in amazement. When he came back to his senses after watching the performance, he found that Su Xuan had finished a painting without him noticing.

In the painting, the Snow Girl dances softly, leaping in the air like a flying swallow, showing her dancing posture vividly. Especially the delicate and smart look between her eyebrows, which is like the finishing touch, making the whole picture come alive.

When he first watched it, he even thought that the Snow Girl was standing right in front of him, which scared him.

"How did you feel about this dance?" Su Xuan put down his pen and asked Jing Ke with a smile.

"The Snow Girl's dancing skills are naturally excellent. She is already one of the best in the world. After today, it won't be long before she becomes famous in Handan." Jing Ke answered without hesitation.

"It's just that the level of this zither player is a little low. Some time ago, when I was traveling in Zhao State, I met a man in the mountains. His name was Kuang Xiu. His zither skills were extraordinary. Listening to his music could make people feel as if they were in another world and could not help but stay addicted for a long time."

During this period of time, hadn't Kuang Xiu gone to the Qin State to be a court musician?

Su Xuan naturally had some ideas about this kind of person.

But he was not in a hurry. Kuang Xiu would arrive in Qin sooner or later, and they would meet again in the future.

When he looked at the scene, Zhao Qian was smiling and waving his hands, showing great grace, "No need to be so polite, today we are only talking about elegance, regardless of status."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing that Prince Qian was not fussy about details and had an extraordinary demeanor, they became more active.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Snow Girl is unworthy of it." A clear and pleasant voice came into her ears, like pearls falling on a jade plate. Looking towards the center of the stage, Snow Girl was returning the gift to Zhao Qian.

"Haha, Miss Snow Girl is too modest." Zhao Qian responded with a smile.

"Thank you all for coming to support us. Long would like to thank you all." A graceful woman came over. She was so beautiful that she could captivate all. She was the owner of Linglong Pavilion and also the dancer who taught Xue Nu.

"Why, is Longniang going to dance today too? Come to think of it, I haven't seen Longniang dance for a long time." Prince Qian joked with a smile.

Long Niang smiled softly and responded calmly, "I may disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am old and have no energy. The reason why I let Xue'er perform is to let her take on the main responsibility."

“Also, the reason I came on stage is that I have an important announcement.

My disciple Xue Nu has always loved poetry. Today, we will hold a poetry gathering on the theme of "Dance". Everyone can recite poems and compose essays.

If there are poems that she likes, she can be my guest tonight and have a chance to talk to me alone.

As these words came out, the scene instantly became a sensation.

"What! Long Niang, are you serious?"

"It's exciting to think that I can be in the same room with a woman as stunning as the Snow Girl and have a private conversation with her!"

"I will definitely win the first place, and no one can compete with me!"

"If I had known this, I would have learned more poetry!"

......

The Snow Girl stood in the center of the stage. She had a slender neck and lively eyes. She was not surprised by this matter. Long Niang had told her about this matter a long time ago and said that she would use the opportunity of writing a poem to help her become famous.

Zhao Qian was calm and composed, smiling widely, and looked very confident.

"I have a poem for Miss Snow Girl."

Soon someone stood up.

"Candles are burning, flutes are playing, the shadows of the buildings are back,

The white hands danced, the dragons danced, and the sky and the earth were colorless. "

Su Xuan couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.

Is this poetry? It's just a patchwork of words, without any rhythm.

This level is not even a little bit lower than that of later poets.

After this person, several others spoke, but most of them were doggerel, and some were not even as good as the first poem.

Although the Snow Girl didn't care, she still felt a little disappointed when she saw this scene.

"Ms. Snow Girl, I have a poem for you. Please appreciate it."

Zhao Qian grasped the timing very well. He pretended to be silent and spoke in a deep voice.

"Her waist seems to be broken, and her sleeves seem to be flying.

The mist is light and the red flowers are floating, the wind is bright and the purple roses are blooming."

"Your Highness is truly talented. This poem describes the graceful dance of the Snow Girl so vividly that it makes people feel as if they are there, mesmerized and intoxicated."

"Good poem, I am not as good as you!"

......

As soon as Zhao Qian finished speaking, several people jumped out to flatter him.

The Snow Girl's eyes lit up slightly. After so long, there was finally a poem that she could barely appreciate. Although she felt it was a little strange, compared with other poems, this poem was already a top-notch masterpiece.

"puff!"

Su Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The attention that was originally focused on Zhao Qian instantly shifted to Su Xuan at this moment.

Zhao Qian frowned, looking displeased.

This guy is actually more handsome than himself, and his elegant and refined temperament is far superior to his.

Where did this guy come from? How dare he ruin my good thing!

The Snow Girl looked curious, her eyes moving as she sized Su Xuan up secretly.

What a handsome and elegant man!

Her eyes lit up, and she wanted to see if Su Xuan had any different opinions.

"Boy, what are you laughing at?" Someone stood up and shouted.

"Nothing, I just want to say that His Royal Highness is indeed very talented in writing."

Hearing this, Zhao Qian's expression eased slightly.

But the next moment he flew into a rage.

"I really didn't expect that the Crown Prince of Zhao is color blind and can't even distinguish colors. The Snow Girl is clearly wearing a blue dress, but you insisted on saying it was red."

As he spoke, he shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.

It seems to be saying that the prince of a country is such a person that he can't even tell the colors.

Zhao Qian suppressed his anger and winked at his men, and someone immediately stood up.

"You are so bold and arrogant that you insulted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at will. Do you know what crime this is?"

Su Xuan shrugged, looking helpless. "I'm just stating the facts. Is this a crime? Color blindness is not an insult."

"Besides, didn't His Royal Highness say that today, status is not important, only elegance is important?"

"The prince didn't say anything? You suddenly come out to punish me, who do you think you are?"

Chapter 12 Colorful Dance

"You are just a mere businessman, yet you dare to be so rude in front of me!" The man shouted angrily, his hair and beard standing on end, he was extremely angry.
