Chapter 12: The First Surprise
Bai Qingyun saw that Huangpu Mingyue was interested, and immediately said: "I just saw Mama Shui in the Begonia Pavilion giving flowers to the show girls for tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony, and the rose box is bamboo!" ”
Huangpu Mingyue waved his hand, and the dark guard disappeared as if it had never appeared.
The powerful oppressive force disappeared......
Bai Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The secret guard of the Moon Palace is still like this, and I don't know what terrifying power the master of the Moon Palace should have!
He continued to laugh heartlessly, and the typical scar forgot the pain: "I lost the bet last time, I wonder if His Highness the Sixth is interested in gambling again?" Bet on whether the performance of the rose in the festival will lose to others! ”
After saying that, I was a little nervous, who would bet on the obvious things!
But the jade pendant won't be brought back...... I really can't explain it to my brother!
"How do you know I'm going to bet with you?" A deep voice came slowly.
"I heard that it was His Royal Highness Sixth who approached the Holy Lord and gave Rose this place to participate in the draft. Isn't the Sixth Highness interested in roses? Bai Qingyun said leisurely.
"Where's your bet?" A deep and beautiful voice slowly flowed from the direction of the soft couch......
Bai Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that His Royal Highness the Sixth was really gambling!
"I, I, I......" He gritted his teeth, gold and silver treasures and the like, there is no shortage in the Moon Palace, and nothing else...... He has nothing else!
"The jade pendant you lost to me last time is a book of martial arts secrets for the Bai family." The person on the soft couch seemed to know what he was thinking, and gave the answer directly.
Bai Qingyun was stunned: "His Royal Highness is interested in the Bai family's martial arts cheats?" ”
The martial arts attainments of the Sixth Highness have reached an unimaginable height, how can they be interested in martial arts cheats......
The person on the soft couch half got up, pinched a carved silver pick with his lazy fingers, and played with the ashes in the incense burner: "I heard that the Bai family's martial arts cheats are made of Xuanyu paper, and they are smokeless when burned." ”
Bai Qingyun: ......
Such a precious cheat, feelings are for ignition!
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and roses lie in the Begonia Pavilion.
Suddenly!
The sleeping rose opened her eyes!
Although the body has been changed, the consciousness of belonging to the killer is still there.
Even when sleeping, he maintains a high degree of sensitivity to the outside world.
And now, she sensed that someone had come in......
She never felt any murderous aura on the person's body, and she couldn't do it until she was sure of his identity. Rose closed her eyes again.
The dark shadow walked over to her bedside and stopped......
An ugly ghost face is in front of you!
Only those eyes, like the Milky Way, are endless.
Rose breathed a sigh of relief, then became vigilant again, her eyes cold: "Why are you here?" ”
This is the Imperial Palace, and not everyone can break in.
Though...... With this person's martial arts, it is not difficult......
The ghost-faced man leaned leisurely on the side of the bed, lazy as if he were in his own home.
Rose didn't intend to say so much to this person: "The palace is important, if you are discovered, you will die, where is the best place to come from, where to go back." ”
When talking to the Ghostface, she was cold.
That's what she really is.
The ghost-faced man let out a faint "um", and then, as if he knew something, raised her chin, and the thin lips of fatal temptation outlined a seductive smile: "You're worried about me?" ”
Rose coldly slapped his hand away: "You can go to death, it has nothing to do with me." ”
The voice from behind came lazily: "You didn't even ask me what I was doing in the palace." ”
Rose smiled: "You will never tell me that you have come all the way to sneak into the palace for me, right?" ”
"What if I say...... Yes? Behind the ghostly face, the pair of dark night stars shimmered with a moving brilliance.
In that moment, it seems that any woman can indulge in it forever......
Rose was unmoved, and a faint smile tugged at her lips: "Then I can only say that you are sick." ”
The ghost-faced man's expression remained unchanged, the evil smile on his lips deepened, and the person disappeared in place, but when he reappeared, he appeared on the opposite side of the rose!
Rose looked at him coldly: "Want to fight again?" ”
"Don't forget, the first time, who provoked whom first." The ghost-faced man's thin lips moved lightly, and every word seemed to have some kind of banter, as if he was just bullying a small animal.
Rose's razor-sharp eyes instantly darkened......
Suddenly, a strong force struck, and the ghost-faced man raised his hand and pinched her chin.
Rose's eyes suddenly froze, and her tone became colder and colder: "What do you want to do?" ”
The ghost-faced man's breath brushed on her cheeks, stirring up waves: "I want you to know that there are some people you can't mess with......"
With that, he left the room.
Can't mess with someone? Who do you think you are?
There are no two words in my rose dictionary that are afraid! What if I mess with you?
Also, Duan Qinglian and Mu Wanrou!
These people seem to be waiting in line to arrange her life path!
When will her fate be decided by someone else?
Scold...... A smile tugged at his lips.
Unfortunately, they found the wrong person!
She just likes to make this kind of person unhappy......
The next morning, she finished freshening up, took the melon on the table, and turned a thin and sharp dagger in her hand a few times.
In the light purple eyes, there is arrogance that looks at the world!
Don't let them block their hearts until they vomit blood, it's a pity that she has practiced the knife technique since she was a child!
The sedan chair has been parked in the Begonia Pavilion.
The show girls dressed up and boarded their sedan chairs with boxes in their hands.
Rose came out of the room, also holding her box, and immediately there was giggling laughter around her, all waiting to see the excitement.
Duan Qinglian was obviously dressed carefully, and she looked more and more precarious, and with a pair of watery eyes and a smile, she glanced at the box in Rose's hand and withdrew her gaze.
With the support of others, he walked into the sedan chair.
Rose yawned lazily and carried the box into her palanquin absently.
The curtain of the sedan car was lowered, and she sat down and placed the box on her lap.
The sedan chair set off, and the eyes that didn't seem to wake up suddenly burst into brilliance!
Slender white fingers ran over the wooden box on his lap.
I'm afraid, you won't be able to laugh for a while.
At the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, the hundred officials had already sat down, some high-ranking family members also attended, and Duan Hanyu was also present. The emperor and queen dressed up to attend and announced the beginning of the ceremony, just waiting for the show girls to arrive and lay flowers and pray for blessings.
Duan Qinglian's biological mother, You Shi, sat solemnly in the family seat, chatting with the wives around her.
"If you want to say the leader of this draft, it must be Miss Qinglian." The prefect's wife, who was sitting next to her, smiled and pulled the relationship, and her daughter was also among the drafts. Duan Qinglian, the second lady of the Duan family, is both talented and beautiful, and she is also very good in martial arts. Everyone knows that others are afraid that they are just a foil in the draft.
Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, everyone tacitly knew that this draft was specially prepared by the emperor for His Royal Highness Huangpu Mingyue.
The emperor wanted His Royal Highness Six to take over the position of crown prince, but it seemed that His Royal Highness Six had no intention.
That's why the emperor wanted to set a family affair for him as soon as possible and take care of it.
It's even harder to marry that Highness than to ascend to heaven!
But even if you can't marry the Sixth Highness, it's still good to be able to marry other princes.
As long as you perform well in the draft, you don't have to worry about not having this opportunity.
"Why, you've won a prize." You Shi drank the tea unhurriedly, politely on his lips, but perfunctory in his heart.
Qinglian is the most perfect work that she trained single-handedly! Of course, I don't bother to compare myself with these vulgar fans.
If there is no accident, after the draft is over, his Qinglian will marry the most noble prince of Nanshu.
You put down the teacup and looked at the stage.
The prince sat with the younger generation of the big family, and among them were the Sixth Highnesses, who usually did not show up......
At this time, a shrill voice sounded: "Show girl has arrived-"
The soft sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the ceremony, and the show girls got off the sedan chair one after another.
On the seats above the main hall, the prince and the young talents were chatting and waiting, and they all stopped at this moment.
Huangpu Mingyue, who was dressed in dark clothes, stretched out his hand lazily, and the secret guard next to him handed over a cup of tea, he lightly held the lid, and drove the heat all at once, without raising his eyelids.
As if nothing had anything to do with him.
Bai Qingyun, who was sitting next to him, was in a hurry, so he almost craned his neck to look at the people in the sedan chair.
Gambling appointments, gambling contracts, don't lose!
When Duan Qinglian lifted the sedan chair and walked down, people almost held their breath.
Look at her bending her waist to take a slight step, showing her wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water, and the jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin is obliquely inserted on the head. The fragrant jade is tender and delicate, and the fingers are like cutting the root of the onion, such as containing Zhu Dan, and the smile is moving.
The dress looks not frivolous or eye-catching, and it sets off her noble beauty.
Duan Qinglian walked to the queue of show girls and stood in a line with the other show girls.
You Shi saw it from a distance, there was no expression on the surface, and he was secretly satisfied in his heart.
Bai Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief and leaned heavily on the chair.
With such an insurmountable peak, it is impossible for roses to surpass. The jade pendant can finally be retrieved.
The last to come out was the rose.
Huangpu Mingyue took a sip of the tea in the cup, raised her eyes, and her gaze fell on the sedan chair.
The moment she got off the sedan chair, she raised her eyes, her lips hooked, and she was full of ruffianism.
Wearing a lilac white gauze dress, simple and elegant, under the slender jade neck, **** is like clotted white jade, half-covered and half-hidden, a bundle of plain waist, not a hand, long hair is tied into a strand, hanging down, like a waterfall twisted. The face is extremely gorgeous, a pair of phoenix eyes are charming, but awe-inspiring, but the most memorable thing is the pair of brilliant purple eyes, a shallow smile can fascinate the glitz of thousands of generations.
The slender white fingers held the wooden box, but it was not as careful as the others, but a casual attitude, and he walked with a lazy handsome style.
Everyone only knows that women are as soft as water to be good-looking, and it is the first time they have seen such a woman.
But...... But I inexplicably felt very attractive, and I couldn't take my eyes off it......
"Poof......" Bai Qingyun almost squirted out a sip of tea.
Duan Hanyu's eyes were also full of amazement!
How could it be! If I had known, I should not have said that it was my distant cousin!
Mama Shui led the show girls to offer flowers and pray for blessings.
The leader is Mu Wanrou, who stepped forward with an elegant gait. The scene is dignified and elegant, which is completely different from the vicious and stingy appearance in private.
She opened the wooden box, took out her Mulan, and solemnly placed it on the altar.
The show girl in the back learned to look like it, and also put her own flowers.
It was Duan Qinglian's turn, she looked compassionate, holding a wooden box in her hand, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, but the afterglow of her eyes involuntarily fell on Huangpu Mingyue.
In the pink lips, the teeth are clenched.
That's the Sixth Highness......
Her white fingers picked up the pure white water lilies, making her more and more otherworldly.
Gently placed on the altar, she followed the previous show girl down.
The queen nodded appreciatively, and the emperor also looked at it a few more times.
The last one is Rose, she walked lazily to it, without deliberately grasping her gait, but she had a natural aristocratic atmosphere!
With a smile on his lips, his white fingers moved to the lid of the box and slowly opened it......
