Chapter 215: The Feast (2)
The feast should have just begun.
Because all the dancing girls are busy changing their costumes and wearing accessories in the lounge.
Compared with the dancing girls who were busy there, Xia Qing seemed more leisurely.
She was only one person for a while, there was no accompanying dance, and even the soundtrack that Guanglingsan needed was given by the private musicians of the prince's mansion.
All she has to do is wait for her to come on stage with peace of mind, and dance well.
The hairstyle on the head, the makeup on the face, the clothes on the body.
When she was in the Drunken Immortal Building, her mother-in-law had already helped her get them all.
So, in the busy preparation room, Xia Qing was the only one who sat there and watched others get busy.
At this point, it's time for lunch.
The adults must have already started their meal and were waiting for the dancing girls to perform their songs.
Xia Qing held the heavy sword in his hand, and his heart was still the obvious code words that he had just said.
Although I don't know why he helped her, but since he did, then she has nothing to excuse.
The sword in his hand was heavy.
Xia Qing didn't dare to open it.
She was afraid that if she opened it, she still wouldn't be able to hide from what happened when the time came.
It's better to just offer it like this and wait for Ah Che's sword to come.
It's just that this Ah Che is too slow.
Waiting left and right, but he is not seen.
The dancers who will appear in the first show have already gathered there.
Xia Qing carefully identified it and did not find Xiaolu.
Is it really uncomfortable and quitting?
"Girls, come with me. ”
Behind him, Su Yun's voice came.
It turned out that he was here too.
Xia Qing turned his head and happened to collide with Su Yun's gaze.
Su Yun still smiled kindly.
He arched his hand at her.
Xia Qing clenched the sword in his hand and smiled back.
As soon as the first batch of dancing girls left, more than half of the people in the entire preparation room were suddenly missing.
Just now, because of the large number of people, Xia Qing still felt that the preparation room was small.
Now it seems that this preparation room is not only not small, but also very large.
The rest of the girls are the second show.
As they were ready, they took it upon themselves to go out and peek at the feast.
Xia Qing listened on the sidelines, thinking that his show was at the end, and it didn't seem to be a way to wait for Ah Che.
It's also a good thing to be able to pass the boring time.
It was absolutely impossible to go outside and find a banquet place on her own.
She knows very well that even if she has lived in another garden for so long, she will often find her way.
Since I can't go out, just look in the room.
She stood up, and the dancers around her looked at her warily.
"Sisters, don't panic, I just want to go to the window to breathe. “
Her words made the dancers look away in an instant.
Xia Qing pursed her lips and smiled.
She paced to the window of the preparation room.
Gilded wooden window frames, windows made of yellow flowered wood.
Extravagance and erosion.
She stretched out her hand, straining.
The window was gently and delicately opened.
Outside the window is a lake.
Xia Qing took a step back and breathed steadily.
When her heart was no longer beating so fast, she dared to stick out her head and look out.
The sword in her hand was too heavy and cumbersome, so she simply lowered the sword under the window frame.
She looked around intently.
The banquet was to her left.
She only had to turn her head to the left to see the ballroom full of guests.
Because of the distance, all she could see was black ant-like heads.
None of the others are real.
I'm going to perform alone in front of so many people.
Xia Qing was a little nervous again.
"Girls of the second tune, come with me. ”
Before Xia Qing could see how the first song was performed, Su Yun's voice came from the door again.
This..... So fast?
"Ah, is it Hibiscus girl standing there? ”
Xia Qing hurriedly turned around and saw that all the girls were looking at her.
She blushed, picked up the sword at her feet and was about to leave.
But as soon as she opened her legs, she suddenly remembered.
Ache hasn't exchanged swords with her yet!
She paused.
"Hibiscus girl, ........ you?"
Su Yun turned his head sideways to look at her.
"No..... No.... Ah, nothing. Let's go. ”
Her intuition told her that she couldn't tell Su Yun what she and Bai Yu had said.
Although this Su Yun looks very kind, Xia Qing doesn't believe that this Su Yun is a simple character.
A man who can be appreciated by the prince and the head of the palace is not an idle person.
Looking at Bai Yushi's attitude towards the housekeeper, she couldn't trust Su Yun casually.
But compared to that, it would be more troublesome for her not to follow the past now.
"Okay, tell me something. There will be no mistakes to be made. ”
Su Yun said with a smile.
Xia Qing lifted his sword and walked to the back of the line to follow.
The extravagance along the way Xia Qing has become numb.
Because she knows very well that the banquet is the most extravagant existence.
"It's here. ”
Su Yun stopped in the hallway.
"Hibiscus girl sit here for a moment, and I'll come to you later." ”
He walked up to Xia Qing and said softly.
Xia Qing nodded obediently.
The girls in front of them were ushered into the corridor.
The chattering in my ears also disappeared completely.
Xia Qing held the sword and sat on the edge of the corridor.
It's very quiet.
Not even the handmaidens passing by.
She put down her sword tremblingly, and the black cloth wrapped around the sword looked very eye-catching.
There was no one around, and this was the best time to check what was wrong with the sword.
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.
She reached out to unwrap the black cloth.
"Hibiscus girl, you can come with me. ”
The outstretched hands braked sharply and retracted.
Xia Qing raised his head and looked at Su Yun who was standing not far away, "Hmm, are they performing so fast?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll be bored here alone, so I'll take you there first. ”
Really..... A piece of kindness.....
"Okay, let's go......"
Xia Qing lifted his sword again and walked to Su Yun's side.
Su Yun seemed to see her eagerness, "Hibiscus girl, is this sword too heavy, can't you hold it?"
"Oh, no. Naturally, it can be moved..... Let's go. ”
"Good. ”
Su Yun didn't say anything more, leading the way in front.
This is actually a hidden alley in the banquet hall.
Generally, only Maihime who needs to come out of the back of the banquet hall or who are in a hurry will go here.
So it's much quieter here than anywhere else.
Not long after they left, Xia Qing heard the sound of alternating chips.
The men's hoarse voices.
Words of persuasion.
The sound of silk bamboo.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was very warm.
Because they came with Su Yun, the maidservants and servants who met them in the banquet hall saluted them respectfully.
"It was the end of the dance right away. Are you ready?"
Su Yun gently opened the curtain and looked outside through the gap.
Xia Qing nodded hurriedly.
At this time, she has no way back.
She had no other way but to use the sword.
You can't stop performing, right?
It's a death horizontally and vertically, so it's better to gamble.
What if the situation is not as it is said.
As the last note falls in the musician's hand.
There was a thunderous roar in the ballroom.
It was her turn to play.
Xia Qing pinched the sword in his hand.
Whatever you are, now's the time to use you.
She whispered to the sword.
Su Yun in front of her threw an encouraging look at her.
After a "swish", Xia Qing ripped open the black cloth wrapped in the sword.
