Fresh and crystal dew still hangs on the freshly folded lilies, and the round dew reflects the orderly working figures of the court ladies, one drop after another, slid into the velvet tablecloth and quietly disappeared.

This day is the celebration banquet for Sinbad's successful capture of the maze, and it is also a grand banquet for the royal family and nobles.The decoration of the banquet hall is dazzling, from the curtains to the tableware, everything is exquisite and elegant.This is like blatantly showing Sinbad's position in Rashid's heart, but it is not a kind of oppression for Sinbad.

During the banquet, there are maids in bright costumes wandering around the tables, serving various dishes and drinks, picking up and dropping off consecutive guests, and waiting until they are almost all there. The corners make the already magnificent palace even more splendid and luxurious.

Before hearing the music, and before seeing the dancer's true posture, I saw a section of rose-red silk fluttering in the wind at the entrance of the main hall, and the magnificent and dignified hall with golden walls and snow columns finally had a touch of soft and pitiful color.

Salome stood on the drum and was carried up the steps by six court ladies. The slight bumps in her steps brought Salome slowly into everyone's sight.She is raising one toe, her waist is bent sideways, a weak willow is supporting the wind, she is in the state of fishing for the moon in the water, and there is a faint smile on her enchanting red lips.

The foothold made up of six small drums has become the stage that best fits Salome's pair of golden lotus feet.Step two or three delicately, with a look back and a smile, the wind blows from the lotus feet, and a few more glances.The hands moved slowly with the shoulders, and the elegant silk was held in her hand like a cloud of clouds, jumping from the leftmost drum to the rightmost drum, and the silk was pulled hard, almost flying out of the silver eaves.She stood still, turned her head slenderly, and covered half of her true face with a silk cloth in front of her face. The light spots were indulging in her cloudy eyes, and her smile was so charming that it is difficult to describe it in detail.

At this moment, there are burning meteors outside the palace, it is better to smile at the beauty.

Salome ravished the audience with a section of encouragement, and the huge palace, which was buzzing with people just now, suddenly fell into a subtle silence.Even Abmad, who was about to watch Salome's jokes, was fascinated. He gritted his teeth and sighed: "I didn't expect her to dance so well, I really envy that brat! How can that poor friend be so good? Where are we going to save face! Hey, Submad, is there any new way to deal with Ali Baba?"

Submad stared intently at the center of the arena, completely not listening to the words of the emperor's brother, and now he can only show the reaction of several years old mentally degraded - drooling.

"Useless stuff!" Abumad cursed angrily.

He refused to let it go, and hurried to the king's feet, smirking and flattering: "Father, I like Salome so much, give her to me! Satisfy me!"

Rashid felt baffled, "Nonsense, impolite. Do you know how old you are, and how much older she is than you?" He glanced out of the corner of his eye when he said this, and found that his heirs—a row of princes were all dead. Fascinated.Including Sinbad, they are engrossed in appreciating Salome's dance.Rashid did not marry many wives, and he had few heirs. They were all men and no girls.

Only then did Rashid face up to Abumad's joke again, and found that his request was not without reason. Such a beautiful dance would be yearned for by everyone, including the simba king Sinbad who is open to all rivers.

He leaned in Sinbad's direction: "Sinbad, look at how beautiful she dances, how I wish I could have a daughter, but there is no luck."

Sinbad didn't drink, and replied respectfully and impeccably, "I think His Highness Ali Baba's appearance is more beautiful than any princess I have ever seen."

Rashid's gaze naturally fell to Ali Baba, who looked very much like her mother, Yanis, especially those clear eyes that were like a bottomless pool.

"Hahahaha, what you said, I don't know whether I should listen to it as a compliment or as a sarcasm. Seriously, if I had such a daughter, you would become my son-in-law, and I would have less trouble. .Look at my eldest son, he is greedy and lazy, the second is timid and cowardly, and the third is taciturn..."

Sinbad, who heard the sincerity in his words, smiled sincerely, and still answered without any gaps: "So focusing on cultivating your youngest son Alibaba will highlight your foresight."

Rashid frowned deeply, glared at Sinbad with resentment and helplessness, and forced a smile: "Forget it, I understand, no matter if you come softly or hard, you will not consider staying."

In recent days, Rashid has tried every means to change Sinbad's mind. He is very optimistic about Sinbad, so he hopes that he can play for Barbad, but Sinbad has never wavered.It was indeed pitiful for him to bring his words to the fore, and Sinbad raised his glass to him.

"Your Majesty Rashid, I, Sinbad, am not a person who does not know what to do. I will never forget the help you gave me a few years ago. I promise you that after you establish the Sindelian Empire, you will have a long-term friendship and diplomacy with Barbad. .”

"A gentleman's word!"

"It's hard to chase a horse."

The silence of the people in the banquet hall came to an end, followed by whispers and discussions.In addition to the voices of praise and appreciation, there are also many mixed in it. Some discuss the origin of Salome, some inquire about Salome's life experience, and some even guess which flower street dancer Salome was bought by the prince for how much money. of.

I saw Salome's 360-five-degree spin jump, lightly landing on the other drum, with her hands on the two drums, her toes hanging high and across the void, and then she landed steadily on the front two drums, her waist Use force to drive the upper body halfway up, forming a waist-bending movement.The light twirling makes her become possessed from her back, one toe reaches straight up, and she spreads her arms and dances silk.

She kept those gossips out of her body, and she danced so ecstatically and vividly, as if she was dancing in another world that only had her own.

People who know her think that her personality determines her dancing style, but the fact is that she doesn’t need others’ approval for her dancing, and she doesn’t want to care about those hard-to-hear and irresponsible comments, so she can dance So supercilious, arrogant.

Rashid had been holding the glass for a long time, but he didn't take a sip, as if there was something hanging in his heart that made him unable to let go.He smiled politely at Sinbad: "In this case, you will go back with Barbad's army and specialty gold this time. Establishing a country requires a solid outer wall and strong reinforcements. They must be for you. very useful."

Sinbad knew that he hadn't given up yet, and hoped to control Schindelia through grace. He raised the corners of his lips confidently as if he had already prepared a countermeasure: "Your Majesty, troops and treasures are certainly very attractive, but I still have one wish." I want His Majesty's permission. I don't need these, but I want one from you."

"Oh?" Rashid was startled, "I've never heard of someone under my command who is as capable as the Eight Generals."

Sinbad's mysterious smile gave Rasheed a bad feeling.

"She stands out in a certain way, and that's enough of an attraction for me. It's a rewarding trip for me."

Rashid became even more curious, "It sounds like this person is more important to you than the maze. It's incredible, tell me."

The dance music enters the last section, and Salome stands with her back to the seats, showing her shoulders as clean as snow.She lowered her center of gravity and moved the silk across her face while looking back, but she didn't complete the movement. She turned her body halfway and then returned to her back-to-back position. This repeated several times until the lingering ending of the dance music disappeared completely. She just looked back and smiled faintly, revealing her true face under the gauze.

At the same time, the conversation between Rashid and Sinbad also came to fruition.

"...So that's how it is. That's all, it's up to you."

At the end of Salome's performance, she jumped off the drum and saluted upright, followed by thunderous applause.Amidst the applause one after another, she did not back down for a long time because she saw Sinbad walking down the steps step by step in front of her.

He had an extremely confident and radiant smile on his face, and his steps towards Salome did not look like he was approaching a beautiful stunner, but he had the kind of magnanimity to take back what belonged to him.

Instead, Salome became inexplicably anxious.

"Look at me, then answer me."

"..."

She had just finished her performance and was still breathing a little, and Sinbad didn't give her a chance to rest.

There is no need to make any further representations, his noble status was unattainable in Salome's past.In the eyes of everyone, no one dared to intervene casually, so he cut straight to the point:

"Will you come with me?"

Sinbad is taller than Salome, when she wants to meet his eyes, she has to fix her long eyelashes in an upward curling arc, and she usually opens half of her eyelids lazily to save face.

"What?" She pretended not to understand.

Sinbad cut her hair gently with the knife in his hand, protesting her pretended ignorance.

Salome still didn't react. She tiptoed and tried to see King Rashid behind Sinbad. She hadn't figured out what she should do now.And Sinbad pushed her back to her original position with one hand.

"You don't need to seek the king's opinion, and you don't need to observe the surrounding situation anymore. I have already mentioned it to him. He said that he will respect your wishes. Now it's up to you."

Salome is a little hesitant, isn't she always doing things for Sinbad? (Of course, the bigger reason is for himself) And what is his purpose for such a big fanfare?Putting all these things aside, her current backer is also Sinbad.Normally, she would have pretended that Sinbad had made a mistake and ignored it, but on such occasions, she obviously wanted to save him.She knew that even though she had such a chance to dance in the palace, her status would still not change.

She looked at the hand, slightly dazed.

The hand was big, beautiful looking, and reliable.If he really held this hand, he would not let her go easily-this is what Salome felt.

"I……"

Her arm moved.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"

The sharp and piercing cry pierced the beautiful scene, and Abmad ran down the steps shaking his cheeks and crawling, "Wait for me!"

The crowd gasped.

If it was because of Sinbad's aura and Rashid's acquiescence that the audience was silent just now, then everyone's silence this time is because the funny appearance of the eldest prince heralds the beginning of a good show.

Abumad lived up to everyone's expectations, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I saw the portrait of Salome on the most wanted list. She is a wanted criminal! This woman's heart is black!"

Don't get what you can't get yourself—Abumad's red eyes are saying loudly.

The person involved hadn't reacted yet, but Rashid's expression froze. If it was true, then it would be a very unreasonable decision to allow her to act.

Abumad blushed with excitement, and uttered nonsense: "Stealing her is a habitual offender. She stole all of Sinbad's metal objects a few days before Sinbad conquered the maze! It fully shows that this woman has hidden evil intentions! She is a disaster! Oh By the way, there may be victims among all of you here! Don’t you plan to pursue it! The most hateful thing is that she lived beside Alibaba during these days, treating the prince arrogantly and rudely, making troubles for no reason at all times, and using all kinds of It is abominable to torture and tease Ali Baba in such a way! She should be in Barbard's prison now, not the banquet hall!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was horrified. Hurting the prince was a heinous crime and an unforgivable crime.The scene was immediately overwhelmed by discussions, and Salome standing in the center of the hall seemed so helpless because Sinbad didn't say a word.When Abumad slandered and slandered indiscriminately, no one involved responded.

Abumad incited people's hearts and pursued the victory.

"Father, please make a decision immediately!"

Sinbad was calm and calm, without any wavering, as if he knew someone would stop him.He glanced at the absent-minded Salome, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the king: "Your Majesty, it's better to let Alibaba decide."

Rashid was a little dizzy by this turn of events, mainly because he didn't trust his eldest son, who was muddy all day and couldn't support the wall, but he didn't trust Salome either, who was an outsider anyway.He signaled Alibaba to come forward and answer.

"Alibaba, is there such a thing?"

Ali Baba jumped up from his seat, stood beside Salome, and turned to Rashid to salute.The expression on his face can be described as mixed, and others can't see what's in it.

In fact, he was rehearsing repeatedly for the statement in his stomach.So when it came to the real occasion, it was a matter of course to export it.

"Father, my friend Salome has lived in a slum since she was a child and has no proper education, so it is understandable that her character is a little loose and casual. Sometimes she does speak rudely, coupled with her arrogant attitude, It is inevitable that people will have the illusion that she is wearing the skin of an 'evil girl'. Father, you must not know the real reason why she danced at the banquet. I have already found out that the girl in the previous performance team They were all forced to come in, not to mention the hard training, not enough to eat and sleep well, many people have new scars on their bodies. She was willing to come out and dance a dance for these poor girls, And I tried all kinds of ways to seduce her before but failed. In order not to let the people in the dance troupe get their hands dirty, she volunteered to steal when she couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing. She is so lazy that she can't wake up all year round. People actually did this kind of thing, and no one believed it when they said it. Of course, she has paid a great price afterwards, but I don’t think this is unforgivable. She said she wanted to steal people’s money, but in the maze It took her own life to get the treasure, and in the end she gave all the treasure to poor relatives and friends. When I first saw her, she was wearing a hideous skin, but I later learned , Her real purpose is to seek justice for her friends. Father, let me give you an example. If the palace where I live is attacked, my servants may give priority to escaping themselves, and Salome... ..."

Ali Baba spoke halfway, looked at Salome, and suddenly smiled, "She will be impatient and angry, she will call me stupid, threaten to abandon me, and then - protect me desperately."

He remembered what Beato had said after Salome went to the labyrinth.Salome seems dissolute, but she cherishes life very much. She is afraid of death.People who know her basically know it, but what most people don't know is that she has never valued just her own life.When she encounters a crisis, she will mercilessly pull others to block the knife, but she is willing to use both sides when her friend is in danger.

"Your Highness Sinbad, you have forgiven her, haven't you?"

"of course."

Ali Baba continued in an orderly manner: "Father, you taught me that people should have a tolerant heart, and now I want to give my answer—" He turned to Salome, "Salome, thank you all the time You. In addition to my meaning, this sentence also includes parts of Beato, Rilu, and Kasim."

He was like the color of his hair at the moment, and his whole body was shining golden, and Salome blinked so repeatedly that she was almost crying.She pretended to be relaxed and teased:

"Little ghost, you can, you, you have a good mouth skill, you can say black into white, haha..."

"Don't laugh!" Ali Baba yelled, "You are not allowed to define yourself as black!"

Salome didn't expect this little guy to speak so hard, she was like a student who was reprimanded, and she was completely blinded.After a while, tears fell.

With tears in her eyes, she began to taste the extremely soft part of her heart, and the first movement she made was to turn her head to look at Sinbad.She couldn't fail to notice that Ali Baba didn't have the ability to answer calmly and fluently, and the person who taught him to say this...

——"Ali Baba, if the king asks about Salome's situation, you can answer according to this routine, understand?"

——"Understood! Your Highness Sinbad."

With Alibaba's passionate answer, he finally brought everything back to the original point, and returned to the question that moved Salome's heart.

"I'll ask for the last time, would you like to come with me?"

"I am willing."

Salome found that she could not refuse this man.

Sinbad smiled.

"From now on, you will no longer live a wandering life without a branch, and you will no longer need to look at anyone's face—just follow me."

Salome was deeply shocked, and suddenly realized that the light of the whole world seemed to be carried by that man.What stood in front of her was light, and wherever his gaze reached, it was also light, so she in his pupil——was also shining with light!

"Look up, look at me, and respond to me."

"...Yes, as ordered."

Sinbad stretched out his hand, and Salome also stretched out her hand with trembling and long eyelashes.The two hands overlapped gently up and down, and Sinbad bent down and kissed the back of her hand—just like the night they first met.
