The sunset in the palace is beautiful.

Because the palace wall is fiery red, the sunset is reflected, so that the red is red.

The square inch of the sky that could only be seen was in the dance room, but it became the entire capital.

Xia Qing stood on the top floor of the dance room, looking at the streets and alleys of the capital in the evening.

"Want to get out?"

In my ears was the somewhat lazy voice of cinnabar.

Today, Ning Ruo really did what he said and recovered a lot of the "debt" that the girls owed yesterday.

I didn't stop training all day, except for eating and going to the toilet.

Ning Ruo also rarely stayed obediently in the dance room and supervised the whole process.

She watched them train like no one else.

Although she didn't know Ning Ruo's intention of not letting her train together, she really couldn't act rashly until the Rui King didn't send any tasks.

"Some of them think about it, they miss their families. ”

She has no family, but she regards everyone in Zuixian Mansion as family.

"I thought when I first came, but then I won't. ”

Cinnabar was lying on the ground, and the white gauze clothes were a little dirty.

She didn't care.

"My family is dead, and now there is nothing to think about, and I am the only one left in this world. ”

Her voice was flat, as if she were telling someone else's story.

Xia Qing turned around and saw Cinnabar looking at the roof, lying on the ground.

In a pair of eyes, calm as water.

"Are everyone here just like you?"

"No, it's just me. This group of eldest ladies were all born nobles, and they came here purely to choose concubines. ”

"Choosing a concubine?"

"Because the emperor likes to watch dances, if he dances well and jumps into his eyes, isn't it just flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix? ”

Xia Qing sat down in front of Cinnabar, unable to digest this matter for a while.

Therefore, this is why the girls in the dance room are not afraid of those palace people, and even dare to beat them.

"So this performance, is it actually an opportunity for them?"

"yes, it's a great opportunity. Their families will never let go of such an opportunity. ”

Cinnabar raised her head slightly, looking at Xia Qing's stunned appearance.

"But you don't have to worry, you don't even have the opportunity to go on stage, and you will definitely not be hurt by mistake this time. ”

She smiled, and a cinnabar mole was even more bright red by the setting sun.

"Cinnabar, have you ever thought about leaving the palace?"

By the time Xia Qing realized it, she had already said this sentence.

Cinnabar was also stunned, and she put her head down a little embarrassed.

"No, there is no such thought, it's good here, eat and sleep well, as long as you dance obediently, life can go on. ”

She pillowed her hands behind her head and looked at Xia Qing in a comfortable posture, "It's not like outside, you may not be able to survive at any time." After a lot of experience, I have long found that it is a blessing to be able to live this life in peace. ”

Safe and sound, to live this life?

Xia Qing nodded as if she didn't understand.

Although she usually looks at some strange cinnabar, she sees these issues very thoroughly.

Xia Qing has lived for so long and experienced so much, but she still hasn't figured out what she really wants.

"People, living with a purpose, living as you think is the best thing........

Cinnabar's face suddenly blurred a little.

She blinked her eyes hard, only to realize that it was her own tears that had unconsciously gathered in her eyes, and more and more, more and more.

"Hey, I'm just talking casually, what are you crying about!"

"No, it's nothing, you just said it so well that it touched me........"

"You idiot......."

"Your Majesty, today, it's time to turn over the cards. ”

Decai was holding a small plate, on which seven or eight wooden signs were lying neatly.

"Is it night again?"

Cheng Qing stretched and rubbed his sour eyes.

Unconsciously, the criticism is now.

"Your Majesty, you've run out of dinner, and you haven't even noticed that it's night. ”

Seeing that Cheng Qing was in a good mood today, Decai spoke boldly, "You haven't been to the harem for a few days, if you don't go to see the girls, they will cry ........"

"Alright, alright. ”

Cheng Qing frowned, and Decai immediately stopped talking.

He lifted the plate in his hand lower, so that Cheng Qing, who was sitting, could see it more clearly.

"Hmm..... Lin Meiren, Zhu Meiren, Ming Meiren?"

"Yes, it was the beauty that Master Taifu personally gave to the emperor, have you forgotten it, Your Majesty?"

"Taifu, .........."

Cheng Qing raised his head, and there was more playfulness in his eyes.

At this time, three beauties were sent, which is really a drunkard's intention not to drink.

He reached out and flipped over a sign.

"Go here. ”

"Mother, mother, mother, big thing, big thing!"

Concubine Li had just finished dinner and was embroidering a female worker at her small table.

"What's the matter, so noisy. ”

The palace man's voice was so loud that she almost pricked her hand just now.

"The Emperor...... The Emperor ........"

"What's wrong with the emperor?"

He ..... He ......"

Xu was in too much of a hurry just now, and now she can't even speak.

Concubine Li simply put down the handkerchief that was about to be repaired in her hand, and asked with some displeasure,

"I know, did he flip the sign of Concubine De today? Don't talk to me about this kind of thing in the future, I will be jealous........."

"Oh, are you jealous? Concubine Li is so jealous?"

"The Emperor..... The Emperor ......"

"Smack. ”

The small basket in his hand fell to the ground, and the palace man kneeling on the ground lowered his head.

"You, you're here, why don't you make a noise...... Concubine ..... The concubines didn't prepare ......."

"It's because I didn't let them pass it on, I want to see what you're up to. It's good to see that you're doing a female celebrity. ”

Cheng Qing bypassed the little palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and sat down in the position of Concubine Li.

"I haven't been served dinner yet, so today, let your little kitchen work and cook me a meal. ”

"Good..... Good ....."

Concubine Li is obviously still in the emperor, and she is in the palace, and this matter is incredible.

She touched the palace man who was kneeling on the ground, "Go and make a pot of tea for the emperor." ”

"Yes..... Be. ”

The palace people quickly got up and went out to make tea.

"You, how did you get ...... today?"

"Well, Concubine De has been in bad health lately. ”

"Yes..... That's right......"

Concubine Li desperately held back her tears.

No, you can't cry in front of him.

"What, aren't you welcome?"

"Welcome, how could it not be welcome. ”

She cheered up and greeted her with a smile.

"I don't know what the emperor wants to eat today, as long as it is what you like to eat, I will definitely be able to make it for you in the kitchen. ”

"It's lighter, it's been hot lately, Concubine Li, don't eat too greasy. ”

"Yes, I won't eat those. ”

The smile on Concubine Li's lips has never changed.

Sure enough, he still won't remember that her spleen and stomach are weak and she never eats greasy things.

Even once, she had even been sick in front of him, and he didn't know it.

It's really as he said, at that time, in his eyes, there was only the throne, and nothing else.

"Concubine Li, tomorrow, you can go home and have a look. ”

"Hmm..... What do you say?"

"Tomorrow, go home and see the Taifu and them. I haven't seen you in some days, have you?"
