Chapter 102: A Dance of Beauty - For Whose Heart

Prince Lei Zhen led a group of men and horses into the capital of the Great Zhou, and the soldiers who defended the city reported to him early, and now the emperor is still very weak, and all the affairs are discussed by the auxiliary ministers and then decided by the king of Rui. As soon as Prince Lei Zhen entered the territory of the Great Zhou, news came to the imperial court, and now King Rui is ready to welcome him early.

At this time, King Rui personally led the men and horses to greet him at the city gate, which was also the ultimate gift to a small border country, which made Prince Lei Zhen feel very unhappy.

To be welcomed to the palace, a special wine banquet will be vacuumed in the evening, singing and dancing on the table, wine and food, and the guests of honor will talk very happily.

King Rui raised his glass and said, "How does the prince feel about my Great Zhou during this trip?"

Prince Lei Zhen hurriedly replied: "The Great Zhou people are outstanding and the treasures are rich, and they are really the country of abundance, and they are not comparable to me as a small border country." turned to the singer who danced in the pool: "Only these women who can sing and dance can catch up with my first-class singers, but I have heard that there is a peerless beauty in the prince's mansion, not only her appearance is captivating, but her dancing skills are the best in the world. Lei Zhen's words are half serious, half complimentary, but what he said is extremely sincere, the ministers all looked at King Rui, the meaning of that look is needless to say, the two countries have just befriended, at this time I hope to have a full harmony here in Prince Lei Zhen, in order to achieve peace for thousands of generations.

King Rui covered his face with wine and groaned slightly, and the guards on the side came to him when they saw this, and whispered like this, and the guards immediately received the order.

Concubine Mei held an ebony comb in her hand and gently combed her black hair like a waterfall, and an oil lamp in the dungeon was like a bean, but in her eyes countless times it turned into the sun, a very bright sunshine, the fragrance of plum blossoms under the sun, and the smiling self, and then a breeze blew, and she flew up like a kite, flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther, sublimated, detached, and this dark and irritable world will never see each other again.

A 'click' sound of unlocking interrupted Concubine Mei's thoughts, and as she faced the door, she clearly saw King Rui's personal guard walk in.

"The prince asked the princess to go out with her subordinates immediately, and today she will feast on Prince Wuhuan, and invite the princess to perform a dance, and then move to the plum garden without going back here."

After hearing this, Concubine Mei was stunned in place, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, without imaginary surprises, nor sad, but felt that this dungeon that had been suppressing her breathlessness became more and more short, so she hurriedly stood up and escaped out of the prison door.

The princes and ministers at the palace banquet were already anxious, and King Rui was still sitting peacefully watching the dance and drinking, and talked with Prince Lei Zhen from time to time. Perhaps he thinks he knows Mei Xin'er best in his heart, he knows that she will come, just for himself, and this kind of selfish understanding to the extreme is not a sharp blade that kills people without seeing blood.

The sound of strings on the dance floor stopped abruptly, and then the melodious ensemble of guzheng and pipa sounded, tactful and rapid, melodious and frustrating, straight to the ups and downs of people's minds, and they all hugged and did not know how to place them.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but cast their eyes on the field, but when they saw a red veil sprinkled, the elf woman who seemed to be jumping like a flame fell into it, and her skillful and graceful dance steps, spinning and jumping, as if the flames were tugging at the heartstrings of all the onlookers.

Concubine Mei seriously devotes herself to her own world at this moment, not disturbed by others, not for others to watch, but only beats to her own heart, and beats to question, comfort, appreciate, sarcasm, sarcasm, and praise her other self from time to time.

At the end of the song, Concubine Mei was exhausted and buried herself in a pile of red yarn, and the palace maid next to her hurriedly came up and helped the person down.

The onlookers praised each other, and from time to time someone said some flattering and envious words to King Rui, and the red light on King Rui's face was also obvious that he was in a very good mood at this time.

"The prince is a young hero, naturally he is the most suitable for such a talented and good-looking woman, this prince sighs to himself!" Lei Zhen said sincerely, but the shadow of Ling'er floated in his mind, but he didn't know that the beauty could have such dancing skills, or even if she couldn't, only her kind of personality was extremely likable.

King Rui saw Prince Lei Zhen praising himself in his mouth, but his eyes showed a look of displacement, how could such a smart person as King Rao Rui not guess this situation. "I don't know if the prince has a favorite woman, I still have some stunning beauties in Da Zhou, if the prince has a heart, the king can be a gentleman and an adult?"

Prince Lei Zhen saw King Rui's smiling expression, hesitated for a while and said: "I don't know if the prince has ever seen a girl named Ling'er, it is said that she used to haunt the palace of the Great Zhou, and even treated the concubines of the royal family, but then ran away inexplicably, this king met by chance in my Wuhuan, the sky took pity on me, and gave me such a lucky star, my years of chronic illness were cured by her, and it was mostly because of her that I left the palace this time." After that, just look at King Rui's expression with cold eyes. Although this Lei Zhen knows Ling'er's identity, Wuhuan Guo does not scruple to marry a remarried woman, and Ling'er is now alone in the rivers and lakes, whether she has anything to do with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is what he wants to figure out the most.

A shadow flashed across King Rui's face, he knew that Ling'er was imprisoned by King Heng, and he also knew that she had escaped, and he had tried to send someone out to find her. Now that the prince of Wuhuan specially mentioned her, it can be seen that the two have a lot of friendship. At this time, it is difficult to say anything perfunctory, and King Heng is floating outside, if it has nothing to do with Ling'er, it will never make sense. "This king knows a girl named Ling'er, who is the king's brother-in-law, and at this time, my royal brother is traveling with him in the rivers and mountains, it shouldn't be the Ling'er girl in the prince's mouth." Or was moved by King Heng's behavior of giving up his hands to Jiangshan, King Rui couldn't help but protect his younger brother.

Prince Lei Zhen, who was talking eloquently just now, suddenly got up and said goodbye at this time, "This prince has always been frail, and he will have to rest then, thank you for your hospitality tonight, and say goodbye." ”

King Rui looked at Lei Zhen's departing back, but what came into his mind was a clever woman who always liked to wear a short gauze skirt, never had a cumbersome hairpin ring in her hair, and a solemn face that flashed all the time, but that woman never allowed herself to get close, and never even took a good look at herself.

I don't know how long Concubine Mei, who has been in a coma, slowly opened her eyes and saw the two people standing in front of her, "The princess is extremely weak, and she is overworked today, and she faints due to temporary prostration. ”

The little maid took the prescription and sent the imperial doctor out. Concubine Mei was the only one left in the room, looking around, everything was what she used that day, and even the position of the place had not changed.
