Chapter 266: The song and dance competition finals officially begins
Guan Liushui came to Yaohua Pavilion to pay a visit to Empress Dowager Nie on the eve of the competition, but actually he wanted to meet Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua.
Seeing that the two were safe and sound, with rosy complexions, and with the protection of Empress Dowager Nie, he finally felt at ease.
Zhao Xuan introduced Guan Liushui to Empress Dowager Nie.
"Mother, this is the leader of the Xia Kingdom Song and Dance Troupe. He is also my adopted brother in Xia Kingdom. His stage name is Guan Liushui."
Guan Liushui hurriedly bowed deeply to Empress Dowager Nie.
"I, Guan Liushui, wish the Queen Mother peace, happiness, and a long life!"
Empress Dowager Nie looked Guan Liushui up and down. Her face was as beautiful as jade, her eyes were as bright as stars, her lips were as red as cinnabar, and her figure was tall and graceful. Even she, an old woman, could not help but be dazzled and exclaimed in admiration.
"What a handsome young man!"
As a wise king, Gu Zhanghua was more concerned about whether Guan Liushui's team could win the championship in the end, so he asked Guan Liushui at this time.
"How come only your team from Xia Country made it to the finals? Song Country has five teams. Are they really that strong?"
Guan Liushui smiled faintly. He was not afraid of Empress Dowager Nie and said whatever he thought.
"It's already a good thing that Song State didn't take all ten finals spots!
The king of Song State usually did nothing but write poetry, sing, dance and play music, so even an ordinary citizen of Song State could sing a few songs and dance a few times!
I was wondering, is Daxin, the capital of Song State, filled with lewd music all day long?
Empress Dowager Nie found it very interesting to watch the flowing water speak.
"Young Master, are you really trying to say that the State of Song is crooked from top to bottom?"
Guan Liushui bowed to Empress Dowager Nie.
"Her Majesty, your wise advice!"
Gu Zhanghua couldn't help laughing.
"Are you saying that my father is not good at these things, so our Xia Kingdom only has one seat?"
"This is a good thing!"
Watch the flowing water speak frankly.
"It's enough to enjoy the opera during festivals and holidays. We should focus on doing more serious work. Farmers should work hard on their fields, merchants should work hard on their trade, and the emperor should be busy handling government affairs. Only when everyone fulfills their responsibilities can life be prosperous, right?"
Zhao Xuan walked forward and patted Guan Liushui's shoulder hard, almost knocking him to the ground.
"Well said! You must give it your all today and strive to win the championship! Make me proud!"
Guan Liushui was not humble at all. He covered his shoulder which was hurt by the pat and raised his head proudly.
"As long as we can defeat the five teams from Song, the four teams from Yue will be no problem!"
Empress Dowager Nie watched the brother and sister chatting and laughing with a smile on her face, feeling very emotional.
"Shi Liu, it seems that you not only have a lovely husband in Xia Country, but you've also made some good friends. I'm so happy for you!"
Zhao Xuan walked to Empress Dowager Nie and affectionately took her arm.
"I also have a mother who dotes on me and loves me. Shi Liu feels very happy!"
Empress Dowager Nie reached out and touched Zhao Xuan's face, feeling a little reluctant.
"It's fate that we, mother and daughter, met each other. Pomegranate, you must live well."
Zhao Xuan's heart was shocked.
She lowered her eyes, feeling that there was something else behind Empress Dowager Nie's words. Could it be that she had already seen that she was not the real Tian Shiliu?
Or is she overthinking it?
He looked at the flowing water and calculated the time. The competition was about to begin, so he respectfully bid farewell to Empress Dowager Nie.
"I still have to rush backstage to prepare for the competition. Your Majesty, just wait and watch the show!"
"Okay, okay! Go now!"
Empress Dowager Nie smiled and waved at Guan Liushui.
"I'll send it to you!"
After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she followed Guan Liushui out of the box.
He looked at the flowing water and his surroundings, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, and then he whispered to Zhao Xuan.
"Sister, it seems that my suggestion to Dean Liu to invite you to be a judge is a good one. Even the Queen Mother is here to support you!"
Zhao Xuan smiled like a little fox and whispered in Guan Liushui's ear.
"I'm just using your brother-in-law's reputation as a banner. I don't know anything about music, let alone evaluating it. Your brother-in-law taught me how to say it beforehand, and I just copied it. It really wore him out!"
Looking at the flowing water, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
“Brother-in-law is awesome!”
Zhao Xuan grabbed Guan Liushui's sleeve and almost made him fall.
"Sister, can you please be gentler? I have to go on stage to perform soon! If you hurt me, Xia Guo won't be able to win first place. You will be responsible!"
"Oh, okay, I'll be gentle!"
Zhao Xuan let go and looked at the flowing water directly.
"I have discussed it with your brother-in-law. When we return, we will ask the emperor for your merits. I think he can reduce your father's sentence."
"real?!"
Guan Liushui looked at Zhao Xuan, his eyes flashing with a strong light, and for a moment he was filled with mixed feelings.
His original intention was just to help Zhao Xuan out of the predicament as much as possible in his own way. Asking Liu Huinian to write an invitation was just a piece of cake. He never expected that Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua had thought so much for him.
Guan Liushui was so excited that he was speechless. He walked up to Zhao Xuan and gave her a big hug.
Zhao Xuan pushed Guan Liushui away somewhat awkwardly.
"Let go! How can you hug each other in public? If your brother-in-law sees you, he'll misunderstand you."
Guan Liushui let go of his hand in surprise and looked at Zhao Xuan back and forth. His sister didn't have so many rules before. It was so common for her to hug his shoulders and pinch his face.
After not seeing each other for a few days, he actually understood the difference between men and women? And he's still shy?
"Sister, why do I feel like you're different from before? What's different?"
"You're no different! Go get ready, or I'll beat you up if you don't get first place!"
Zhao Xuan raised her fist fiercely, and Guan Liushui was so scared that he ran away quickly.
?
The team brought by Guan Liushui drew lots and was the seventh to appear.
The first six teams were five teams from the State of Song and one team from the State of Yue.
The sixth team to perform was the last team from the State of Song. Various musical instruments played at the same time, singers sang in chorus, and dancers danced gracefully.
The audience was completely fired up! They were absolutely ecstatic! It was like they were under a spell, their heads bobbing and their bodies swaying like drunks, their bodies swaying back and forth to the music!
Although Zhao Xuan didn't understand singing and dancing, she knew it was beautiful to listen to and watch. The Song Dynasty musicians and dancers were simply doing everything they could, playing like crazy! Hot dance!
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but stand up, swaying her body to the song, feeling her blood boiling, and clapping and cheering!
Gu Zhanghua pulled Zhao Xuan's sleeve.
"You really are such a traitor! Aren't you worried about Brother Shui?"
"I have confidence in him!"
"I don't think so. The five teams from Song State each have their own unique characteristics. They have reached the pinnacle of singing and dancing. The instruments are varied and surprisingly harmonious, and their dancing is not much worse than Brother Shui's."
Zhao Xuan suddenly became dispirited. Although she did not have a strong desire to win, she also hoped that Guan Liushui could achieve good results.
"Are you saying that it will be difficult for Guan Liushui's team to overtake the five teams from Song?"
"That's right, and these five teams are the first to appear. They have used all the gimmicks, so it's difficult for Brother Shui to come up with something new."
"What should I do?"
Zhao Xuan held her chin with her hand and looked worried. Empress Dowager Nie was also affected by Zhao Xuan's worry and started to worry about Guan Liushui.
"Pomegranate, your brother is next. Have you seen his performance? How does he compare to these teams?"
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sigh. It was hard to say something against her will.
"I used to think his performances were fantastic, but there are always better things. Today, after watching the performances of the Song Dynasty teams, I was really impressed. They were really good!"
?
In the backstage, the team members surrounded Guan Liushui, and they all talked to each other, asking Guan Liushui to think of a solution. They expected that the Song team would be very strong, but they didn't expect them to be unexpectedly strong!
Guan Liushui reached out and pressed down, and everyone finally quieted down.
"It's already late, what's the point of cramming? Luckily, I'm well prepared! You all don't need to go on stage!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Are they just throwing in the towel without even competing? Their captain wouldn't be that cowardly, would he?
Guan Liushui did not explain, but told everyone directly.
"Go find Uncle Li and the other four guys who helped us carry the boxes and cages. I'll take them to the game!"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one moved for a moment, but the sound of the announcement came from the stage in front.
"Now, please welcome the Xia Country team! What a wonderful performance they will give everyone? Let's wait and see!"
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. There was no time to ask Guan Liushui. What was the point of asking four people who had no singing and dancing background to perform?
They scattered to look for people.
Guan Liushui suddenly squatted down, took out a fish basket from under the table, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
The team members had no idea that he had been to Guze Town and got inspiration from Grandma Chen, who was good at duetting folk songs, and re-arranged the music and wrote lyrics for a new work.
This is his secret weapon and also his trump card against the State of Song.
He was not afraid that the Song team was strong, he was afraid that they were too weak.
The timing is just right now, and he can use it to verify whether his idea is correct.
He wants to completely conquer the hearts of the audience with the purest and most simple singing voice in the world!
