Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan
Chapter 13 Heroines of the Song Dynasty (1)
Her crimson figure moved as nimbly as a fledgling swallow, accompanied by the sharp, urgent notes of the pipa. With a slight twist of her wrist, two silver sword shadows slashed through the sky like lightning.
The silver dragon shimmered and blended with Dong Yue'e's slender figure.
The wide sleeves danced, transforming into waves of surging red, and with a light flick of the wrist, she held the sword and spun around.
With a clang, the longsword pierced the air, its sharp sword wind carrying an air of pride, a perfect balance of strength and gentleness.
With a clang, the two slender swords clashed in a cross shape. Dong Yue'e lightly lifted her right foot, slightly bent her left foot, and slowly lowered her body. The long sword held horizontally in her right hand slid down from the long sword held vertically in her left hand, producing a long and clear metallic clanging sound.
Then, Dong Yue'e lightly tapped her right foot, rotated 180 degrees using her left foot as the axis, and spread her arms out. Her left hand held a long sword pointing straight to the sky, her waist turned to the right, her right hand held a long sword pointing straight to the ground, and her right foot kicked upwards with a bang.
His movements were crisp and clean, displaying a unique and heroic spirit.
After the side kick, Dong Yue'e spun around twice, touched the ground with her toes, and leaped into the air again. She then performed a fast and difficult sword dance in the air before slowly turning around in place.
Finally, Dong Yue'e slowly brought her hands together, palms facing inward, sword tip pointing downward, took a slight step back with her right foot, and gracefully bowed to the audience and the pavilion below.
After the dance ended, Dong Yue'e let out a soft sigh of relief.
Although the dance was not perfect, it had exhausted all her strength.
The dance steps and movements were choreographed by Gongsun Da Niang based on Dong Yue'e's actual abilities. In order to make up for Dong Yue'e's shortcomings and to amaze everyone more, Gongsun Da Niang added a lot of spinning movements to the dance steps.
While this could indeed make up for Dong Yue'e's shortcomings, the numerous spinning movements were also taking a toll on her.
Being a little flag bearer is definitely not something everyone can do; thankfully, she didn't stumble too much during the performance. Dong Yue'e thought to herself as she prepared to leave the stage.
[Ding~ Male lead Yang Yan'an's favorability +20, currently at 60. Congratulations, host. The male lead's favorability has finally reached the passing grade.]
Passing grade my ass! In ancient times, when marriages were arranged without consent, 60 years old could be considered true love!
You should know that if Dong Yue'e doesn't stay with Yang Yan'an, Yang Yan'an will be with either Jiao Wanqing or Meng Changyu.
Even if their affection level is only 50 after marriage, which seems to be less than the passing 60, they can still live happily ever after in this ancient era!
Dong Yue'e even dared to guarantee that as long as she said she wanted to get married, Yang Yan'an would happily marry her and bring her back to the Yang family.
However, Dong Yue'e's mission is to win over Yang Yan'an, save their love, and bring him happiness; 60 is definitely not enough.
Dong Yue'e returned to the attic and was about to change her clothes before going to find Yang Yan'an when she was told that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned her.
The world is vast, but nothing is greater than His Majesty the Emperor. So Dong Yue'e didn't even have time to change her clothes before following the eunuchs to the city tower.
Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Kuangyi, was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin.
He wore a bright yellow round-necked dragon robe, his long hair was tied up, and he wore a black gauze hat embroidered with coiled dragons and cloud patterns in gold thread. He had fair skin, a few long beards on his cheeks, and a beautiful face and beard. His majesty was natural.
Dong Yue'e bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Dong Shi San Niang, pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
“Third Sister Dong?” Zhao Kuangyi turned to look at Yang Yan’an, who was already standing beside him.
Seeing that Yang Yan'an was already staring intently at Dong Yue'e, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but ask with amusement, "Are you the Dong family's third daughter who has won the title of 'the finest young man of the Yang family of my Great Song Dynasty,' a name that has spread throughout Tokyo and the court?"
Dong Yue'e was still bent over with her head down and did not get up. After hearing Zhao Kuangyi's words, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
What do you mean by "it's spread throughout Tokyo, it's spread throughout the court and the public"? Seriously! You, the emperor, are so gossipy?! Is that really okay?!
"Your Majesty, I am unworthy of such praise. I merely used a clever trick and narrowly defeated Yang Sanlang by a small advantage."
"Third Lady Dong, no need for formalities. I ask you, what do you think of today's dragon boat race?" Zhao Kuangyi smiled and waved his hand, not letting Dong Yue'e get up.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Today's dragon boat race is undoubtedly a spectacular event."
"Perhaps not many people value the Yang family in today's competition. What is your opinion, Third Sister Dong?"
Dong Yue'e glanced at Yang Yan'an, who was staring straight at her, and then looked at Zhao Kuangyi and said, "Your Majesty, Third Sister has always believed that the Yang family will still be able to win the championship this year."
Dong Yue'e said without hesitation, "The Yang family fights for our Great Song Dynasty, but they are unwilling to use their absolute military advantage to bully us ordinary people. Every year, they only send one young man to command the dragon boat race, and the rest are ordinary servants of the Yang family."
Dong Yue'e paused for a moment before continuing, "Third Sister, as an outsider, I shouldn't comment on the Yang family's actions. However, I believe that as a military family, the Yang family wouldn't fight a battle they weren't confident of winning. For the Old Madam to make such a decision, all the young men of the Yang family must be outstanding military talents. A mere dragon boat race is certainly no problem for them."
"Dong Sanniang, do you think Yang Sanlang is a capable general?"
"Your Majesty is wise. Third Sister believes that Yang Sanlang is indeed a capable general."
[Ding~ Male lead Yang Yan'an's favorability +5, current favorability 65.]
"Since you, Dong Sanniang, admire Yang Sanlang so much, and Yang Sanlang is devoted to you, I also feel that you two are very well-matched. Now I hereby bestow marriage upon you two. I wonder what you two think?"
Zhao Kuangyi was in a very good mood today. He found the two of them quite pleasing to the eye, so he decided to arrange a marriage between them.
Yang Yanzhao was naturally overjoyed and was about to kowtow to express his gratitude when he heard a soft, clear voice say, "Your Majesty, Third Sister is unwilling."
[Ding~ Male lead Yang Yan'an's favorability -5, current favorability 60.]
Dong Yue'e secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the amount wasn't reduced too much, otherwise Dong Yue'e would have wanted to beat Yang Yan'an to death.
"Dong San Niang, what did you say?" Zhao Kuangyi looked at Dong Yue'e in disbelief. He really didn't expect that someone would dare to disobey his orders in front of everyone.
Dong Yue'e knelt directly on the ground, straightened her back, and looked at Zhao Kuangyi firmly, saying, "Your Majesty, Third Sister is unwilling. A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Dong Yue'e turned her head slightly to look at Yang Yan'an and continued, "In the past, San Niang and San Lang had an agreement: if San Lang was better than San Niang in archery, San Niang would be willing to marry San Lang. Therefore, San Niang was unwilling."
"Third Sister only hopes that if Third Sister and Third Brother can become husband and wife in the future, it will be because Third Brother defeated Third Sister fairly and squarely, rather than because His Majesty the Emperor bestowed the marriage upon them." Dong Yue'e said with unwavering determination: "A true man should stand in the world with an open and honest heart, without shame before Heaven and Earth, and without shame in his own heart."
