Chapter 2: Ready to Move, Worthy Country
Feeling the tremor of the person in her arms, Xiao Qianyu held her in the palm of her hand worriedly, so that her eyes had to meet her eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ning'er, what's wrong with you today? Why so sad? Xiao Qianyu couldn't help frowning slightly, and the look of concern and worry in his eyes was fully revealed.
Huang Yining stopped her tears at this time, gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a brocade hand, and asked with a slight sob: "Your Majesty, the concubine just heard you say that the Duke of Su Guo ......"
"Ning'er, haven't you always disliked asking about the affairs of the government and the opposition, today, how could you suddenly care about the affairs of Su Guogong? And, this person, you're afraid, have never seen it before, right? The look in Xiao Qianyu's eyes, in addition to concern, also had a trace of doubt.
His dragon and phoenix eyes looked at him deeply like this, which made Huang Yining's breathing stagnate.
Still with such eyes, still with such an expression, his doting and focused look can always make her lose herself in an instant.
For Su Qiaotong, her father Su Changzhen is someone she sees every day, how can she never see it. Therefore, even though she was lost in Xiao Qianyu's tender gaze, she couldn't help but blurt out.
"Of course the concubine has seen ......"
As soon as the words came out, Huang Yining paused.
I am now the queen Huang Yining, how can I see Su Guogong.
Sure enough, Xiao Qianyu asked suspiciously, "Ning'er, how did you meet Su Guogong?" Where did you meet him? ”
Huang Yining opened his mouth, unable to find a suitable excuse for a while. Xiao Qianyu's eyes not only had doubts, but also a little more thoughtfulness.
Now, the Worthy Kingdom is harassing their borders of the Jiuping Kingdom, and the Duke of Su Guo, who is stationed at the border, has of course become the focus of attention of the entire government and the opposition. The current queen Huang Yining, a person who has never crossed paths with Su Guogong, suddenly said that she had seen Su Guogong, which inevitably made Xiao Qianyu have doubts in her heart.
Huang Yining lowered her eyes, she knew that instead of looking for an excuse to make it clear about her rebirth from Su Qiaotong to Queen Huang Yining, it was better to keep silent and play the role of her queen.
So, Huang Yining Chuchu raised his head, with an aggrieved and well-behaved look in his eyes, and softly lied to Xiao Qianyu: "Your Majesty, the concubine should die." Just now, the concubine said casually and deceived the emperor. In fact, concubines have never been ...... I haven't seen Su Guogong. ”
"Oh? Is it? Obviously, this answer does not satisfy Xiao Qianyu. His hand was gently removed from Huang Yining's face, and the corners of his mouth pursed involuntarily.
Huang Yining is most familiar with his action, a few months ago, when the queen was about to drive her Su Qiaotong out of the palace, she could often see this expression on Xiao Qianyu's face.
It is a symbol of coldness, rejection, and defensiveness.
Before Huang Yining could completely take his hand away, he hurriedly grabbed his arm with Yi Yi and explained: "Your Majesty, the concubine was confused just now. The concubine just heard about it...... I heard that the emperor just said that he would let Su Qiaotong, the daughter of Su Guogong, enter the palace to serve the emperor. The concubine was a little jealous in her heart, so she ...... didn't choose to speak, said nonsense, and asked the emperor for forgiveness. ”
Xiao Qianyu's eyes flashed, and then, slowly, involuntarily, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and finally the corners of his mouth were gently opened, revealing a row of neat white teeth. There was a smug and doting smile in his eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose into a beautiful arc.
"It turns out that my Ning'er is jealous."
After Xiao Qianyu said this, he lowered his head slightly, put his hands behind his back, and bent down to slowly kiss the corners of Huang Yining's mouth.
That warm touch made Huang Yining's nerves explode in an instant, and then contracted suddenly, she closed her eyes in a daze, and her small lips involuntarily pursed a little.
Xiao Qianyu, who was covering her lips, raised her eyes slightly, looked at her closed eyes, thick eyelashes, and couldn't help but chuckle, and then naturally held her pursed red lips.
"Hmm......" Huang Yining made a vague sound, like sighing and enjoying.
It's been too long, this kiss, it's been missing her for too long. After being separated for several months, she was thinking about Xiao Qianyu in the palace day and night.
Although, now that time goes back, Xiao Qianyu never knew that there was such a person as Su Qiaotong in his life, but in Su Qiaotong's heart, he could not forget for a moment the bits and pieces of his past with Xiao Qianyu.
Now that they are reunited, the kiss is the same as before, Huang Yining's heart can't help but sigh and feel comfortable, but tears flow down his cheeks.
"Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qianyu opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Huang Yining in front of him with tears in his eyes.
Huang Yining shook his head, wrapped his arms around Xiao Qianyu's neck again, and whispered in his ear: "No, the concubine is just ...... I miss the emperor too much. ”
Xiao Qianyu smiled: "You are by my side every day, do you still miss me?" ”
Huang Yining didn't speak, just buried his face in the crook of his neck, and stuffed his breathing on his collarbone.
Xiao Qianyu gently rubbed her back for a long time before pulling her back in front of him, and said softly: "By the way, it will be the Lantern Festival soon, and the Woxi Kingdom will definitely invade the border of my Jiuping Kingdom on the day of the Lantern Festival." I need to arrange for Su Guogong's daughter to enter the palace as soon as possible, so as to calm Su Guogong's heart and let him fight the enemy with all his might. ”
"Why?" Huang Yining was puzzled, what does the invasion of Woxi have to do with the Lantern Festival?
Xiao Qianyu seemed to have expected her to ask such a question, touched the hair of her sideburns dotingly, her eyes gently swept over the bead rings in her ears, and patiently explained: "The Lantern Festival, the whole country celebrates, should be a time of peace and peace. The invasion of the Worthy Kingdom at this time will definitely make the people panic and resent, and after the people are panicked, they will definitely complain to the court, and when the people's grievances boil, the Worthy Kingdom can go further. ”
"Ahh Huang Yining was surprised and gently covered his mouth with his sleeve.
"Now, there are rumors in the government and the opposition that Su Guogong has been bought by Worthy, and he seems to have two hearts." When Xiao Qianyu said this, there was deep worry in his eyes. Obviously, he can't be completely indifferent to such statements.
"Su Guogong will never be bought, he is not such a person!" Huang Yining blurted out. As Su Changzhen's daughter Su Qiaotong, she firmly believes in her father's character.
Xiao Qianyu nodded and sighed with relief: "I was also worried, but this morning, Su Guogong wrote a letter to send his only daughter Su Qiaotong into the palace to enrich the harem and serve the king." In doing so, he is actually showing his loyalty and is willing to take women as hostages and kill the enemy with all his might. ”
Huang Yining was stunned, she remembered, the Lantern Festival ...... I entered the palace before the Lantern Festival, and soon after entering the palace, she ushered in the Lantern Festival that she will never forget.
On the western border of Jiuping Kingdom, in the mansion of the Duke of Suzhou.
In the backyard, the sound of the piano is lingering, the bell is melodious, and a white dress dances in the Bright Moon Pavilion, stretching his posture with the rhythm. Sometimes she stretches her hands, sometimes her toes are slightly dotted, like fairies, like flowers and butterflies. Turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, bending, flowing clouds, if the dragon flies, if the phoenix dances.
Liu Yunyin, the grandmother of the teaching workshop who was standing on the side, nodded with satisfaction. She is the best artist at singing and dancing in Huayuefang, and often goes in and out of the palace to teach the daughters of the palace to sing and dance.
When the last piano note fell, Su Qiaotong paused suddenly, her eyes moved, and she slowly swept half of the Kyaukyue Pavilion, and finally, it landed on Liu Yunyin's body.
Mama Liu clapped her hands and praised: "Great! It is like the fairy of Chang'e in the cold palace, and it is like the jade fairy of Tianchi soaring. It's really pleasing to the eye, and the heart is shaking! ”
Su Qiaotong chuckled, her expression was full of confidence, but she said modestly: "Mama Liu, you are laughing at others again." ”
After speaking, a strange look flew over, making people feel soft for a while, and even Mama Liu couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a smile: "Miss Qiaotong, what the old man said is not a polite remark, your current dancing skills, the entire Jiuping Kingdom, it is difficult for anyone to match." After today, I will go and tell Grandpa Guo that you have completely left the school, and I don't need to teach you anymore. ”
When Su Qiaotong heard this, she was surprised: "Mama Liu, are you going to leave me?" However, people haven't learned enough. I have a lot more to learn from you. For example, the song "Treading the Waves" that you famous, I haven't learned it yet. ”
When Su Qiaotong said this, she pursed her lips coquettishly, and a pair of white plain hands were softly placed on Liu Yunyin's little arms, swaying gently, making Liu Yunyin couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand, and touched Su Qiaotong's hair lovingly: "Miss Qiaotong, that "Treading the Waves" is not something that a lady like you can learn." That's all repertoire that doesn't go into the classroom. In the future, I won't say I'm going to learn these tunes. ”
"What! Where will dance music be different? In my opinion, the dance in the world is only divided into good and bad. No matter how elegant the repertoire is, it doesn't look good when it jumps out, so I don't have to learn it. Su Qiaotong scoffed at Mama Liu's statement.
Mama Liu shook her head helplessly, she had been teaching Su Qiaotong for several years and knew her temper well. Su Qiaotong is the most obsessed with singing and dancing arts, and she is naturally endowed. At a young age, he has already practiced a good dance. As the so-called excellence, I am more interested in other genres of singing and dancing.
While the two were talking, the maid came to report: "Miss, Grandpa Guo invites you over." ”
"When did Father come back?" Su Qiaotong asked the maid suspiciously. The maid hurriedly bowed and saluted: "As soon as I came back, I was in a hurry to let the young lady over, there should be something important." ”
"Miss Qiaotong, Grandpa Guo is looking for you, you can go over first, you don't need to practice dancing today, the old body will leave." Mama Liu hurriedly said goodbye.
Su Qiaotong nodded and said softly: "Mama Liu, let's talk about it, you have to teach me "Treading the Waves"!" ”
Liu Yunyin was stunned, crying and laughing, she didn't dare to agree, she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to retreat vaguely while bowing.
