Chapter Seventy-One: The Old Man Meets
In the morning, I rummaged through the cabinets and found a few sets of men's clothes from before, changed one set, and then took my imperial concubine's waist card and went out, I had already called someone to inform Qi Yue, just let him wait outside the palace gate.
As soon as I went out, I saw Qi Yue waiting there, and I was stunned for a moment, and I always felt that Qi Qing might come over immediately, and the three of us finished shopping and having fun like before, but we couldn't anymore.
Qi Yue saw that I was wearing a lead-white robe, and greeted me from a distance and smiled: "Your clothes are really plain." β
I smiled: "This will make me look elegant." β
Qi Yue glanced at me and said with a smile: "Got it, where are we going?" β
I smiled and said, "Go to a place where you can evacuate your muscles and bones," I looked at Qi Yue and said, "Ah Yue, haven't you been to the Qinglou for a long time?" β
Qi Yue squinted at me and didn't speak, I was silent for a while, and asked, "Ah Yue, how are you doing?" β
Qi Yue said lightly: "Very good." β
I pouted and said, "Liar, huh?" I sighed and said seriously, "Ah Yue, tell me the truth." β
When Qi Yue heard this, she was also stunned for a moment, and then just smiled: "I was really sad and sad at first, but I'm a man after all, right?" Just live slowly, and it will always be okay for a long time. β
I nodded and said, "You just lie to yourself that you don't have this thing, it's just that there is this person, and as the days go by, you will really be deceived by yourself, so you won't be very sad." β
Qi Yue also smiled and said, "Yes, I will." β
As soon as I arrived at the Qinglou, I found a spacious place to sit down, and the old bustard said, "You two haven't been here for a while?" Especially the fifth master, I haven't seen him for a long time. β
I smiled, just ordered tea and sat there listening to the music, the hall was bright red and green, singing and dancing.
I just sat there and listened to people singing, Qi Yue really didn't have a trace of thought, just drank tea lightly and didn't squeak.
I got tired of listening to it for a long time, and joked to him: "Ah Yue, I see your situation, just go to the temple and become a monk!" β
Qi Yue glanced at me, and I smiled again: "Look at it, you still don't want to?" I can tell you, if you are really shaved, I will tell you that you are really a legend! β
Qi Yue was puzzled: "How do you say this?" β
I smiled and said: "This is the most amorous prince, but he has been shaved alive to be a monk with a pure heart and few desires, isn't it going to become the talk of everyone in the world?" β
Qi Yue also smiled: "You are really annoying!" At this time, you still joke with me! β
I was noncommittal, just looked at the stage and said, "Look, their top card here is coming!" β
Qi Yue lowered his head and drank tea and said, "I'm not interested!" β
I looked at it with interest, but I saw a gorgeous woman coming on stage, wearing heavy makeup, I just looked familiar, but I didn't know where I had seen it.
Qi Yue drank tea, saw that I was silent, looked at the stands, and asked me, "What?" Chu Xi, do you recognize this hand? β
I thought, "I know, but I can't remember it for a while." β
Qi Yue smiled: "Maybe it's just familiar, you must recognize it somewhere." β
While speaking, the woman finished singing a little song and threw a wink at everyone in the audience, but said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, the little girl Yuenu will dance for you again." β
The audience applauded, and I suddenly remembered the name, Yue Nu, isn't this the personal maid who only had one side in the princess before? The prince has been defeated, it seems that she has been sold to the Qinglou, I watched her singing and dancing on the stage, but I felt that the world was unpredictable, and I felt uncomfortable.
Qi Yue asked, "What?" Come to think of it? β
I nodded and said, "Well," I said, looking at Qi Yue and said, "Ah Yue, let's go out." β
Qi Yue also nodded and said, "When I finish drinking this cup of tea, we will leave." β
Less than this cup of tea, this moon slave actually toasted at each table in turn, I was going to turn my back, but Qi Yue had already taken a glass of wine and drank it.
The moon slave gave me a glass of wine for a long time, and when she saw that I didn't answer, she was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The little girl has no other intentions, just to thank you for the ceremony, so she personally came to pour wine for you." β
I looked at the guests around me and had a lot of complaints, but left and right, I turned around, took the wine, and drank it all, but although I had been deliberately looking away, the moon slave still saw my face.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled reluctantly: "I can...... Can I tell you a few words? β
I understood what she meant, so I beckoned to the old bustard, slapped a piece of silver on the table, and said that I just wanted to talk to the moon slave, and the old bustard was of course happy.
Yue Nu sat next to me, looked at me, looked at Qi Yue again, and said, "It's good to see that you're okay!" β
I asked her, "Are you sincere, or are you false?" β
Yuenu poured another glass of wine and sighed: "After so many changes and several falls, how can I still have such a heart? I've seen it through a long time ago, and now if it weren't for my family, I wouldn't have done such a shameless thing in such a dirty place! It's just that now although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I don't even have a face with our family, and I only give money to them, and I don't even dare to meet them. β
I took a sip of tea and said, "That's right, now I can see the people of the past, even if I used to fight each other, there is no taboo at all." β
The moon slave smiled lightly: "Exactly. β
Before he could say a word, the bustard took away the moon slave, saying that he was going to pick up the guests, but the moon slave just stood up obediently, and I looked at her and was about to say something.
She smiled faintly: "Take care, don't want to help me, let's everyone's suffer." β
I nodded, she left, I pulled Qi Yue out, found a teahouse on the street and went in, found a table, asked for tea, and happened to be talking in the teahouse, so I listened there.
Qi Yue had just asked me and said, "Who was the Qinglou woman just nowβ"
As a result, I heard a stroke on the stage, everyone was silent, and Qi Yue was also interrupted, but he didn't speak.
The storyteller on the stage said in a strange voice: "Eh...... Today's guest officer is blessed, let's talk about the story of this dynasty today, and talk about the anecdotes of our today's imperial concubine. β
The crowd at the bottom cheered and applauded.
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, looked back at me, and I smiled quietly: "Let's listen to the two of us and see if it's fun." β
Qi Yue pursed her lips and smiled, but just listened quietly.
Mr. Storyteller spoke at length: "If you want to talk about our imperial concubine Niangniang, we know that this Niangniang's surname is Chu Xi, where the name is ominous, and no one knows about the career before this canonization." β
Qi Yue listened with interest, and the storyteller said: "This road Chuxi, it turns out that there is such a person with the same name and surname in Beijing, according to my analysis, this imperial concubine Niangniang should be the previous Fuzheng master Jingzhong Road Chuxi." β
The storyteller said mysteriously: "If we don't know about this imperial concubine, but I know about the beginning of this Jingzhong Road." β
When I heard this, I became interested and listened carefully.
The storyteller smiled: "I think you also know, this is the beginning of Jingzhong Road, but the first master of the zither, the piano skills are wonderful, no one can match." It's just that if you think about it, if you are an ordinary person, how can you have such attainments? Therefore, although this road is mysterious, there are still traces of this world. β
I nodded and whispered to Qi Yue, "It's kind of interesting!" β
Seeing that everyone was interested, Mr. Storyteller said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the name of the imperial concubine, tell everyone a story, and everyone will give some reward." β
I smiled and watched as everyone dug into their pockets, and threw some broken silver.
It's just that the story after this is also made up and clichΓ©d, it's just nonsense that the lady and the prince fell in love at first sight, and then it was pure love and sadomasochism, and it finally came to fruition.
Of course, such a story won unanimous praise, and on the way back to the palace with Qi Yue, he also smiled and said: "This gentleman is enough to be foolish, how can it be such an innocent story?" β
I also said: "How did he know, even if I didn't do it willingly, this imperial concubine's uniform was full of blood, and everything in this luxury was lost by many people." β
Qi Yue suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Although it is full of blood and lives, fortunately, fortunately, there is no eighth brother and Miss Liang." β
I wondered, "Why did you mention Amin and Rui'er in such a good way?" What does this mean? β
Qi Yue looked at me and wanted to say something a few times, but in the end he just said: "Chu Xi, you just remember that no matter how many unbearable facts and truths there are in the future, there will be absolutely no Lao Ba and Miss Liang who have lost their lives in vain," he sighed again, "Don't make yourself unhappy about this." β
I was puzzled by what I heard, and finally smiled helplessly: "I don't understand." β
Qi Yue diverted the topic and said, "What is the relationship between that woman in the Qinglou just now and you?" β
I replied: "It was the maid in the prince's mansion earlier, and I guess that after the prince was demoted, the slaves were sold, and the official slaves were all dispersed." I smiled, "I didn't expect to meet her here." β
Qi Yue smiled: "This is the fate of the two of you." β
I nodded, and after a short time I arrived at the palace gate, and when I arrived at the palace gate, I remembered something, I smiled suddenly: "But, I want you to learn embroidery with me today to find the best embroiderer in Beijing, but I forgot about it, catch Ming'er," I grabbed Qi Yi's sleeve and said, "Ming'er will accompany me again." β
Qi Yue nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you can go back first." "I went in first.
Along the way, it was easy to return to Chenji Palace, I was really tired, I rested as soon as I went back, and at the time of the second watch, I seemed to hear Ah Han coming, just listening to me sleep, I sat down and left. I slept vaguely, and I didn't bother to get up, so I fell asleep anyway.
