I saw that the palace people took out a pure white linen cloth about three zhang long and two zhang wide and spread it in the center of the hall, and then prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Then Zi Yan picked up a broad brush and dipped it in ink, and then slowly stood in the center of the pure white linen, took out a wooden thing about an inch long from the cuff and put it in her mouth.

Then Zi Yan took a breath calmly, nodded lightly to the musician, the song sounded, the body danced with the rhythm, the mouth arched into a sharp shape, and the crisp whistle came out of the mouth.

The light blue dress and satin also swayed gently with the music, there seemed to be countless butterflies dancing around her, graceful like a dragon, through the fluttering, the song was like flowing water, the dance seemed to be in the mountain stream, and like a dancing butterfly, like a fairy, I saw Zi Yan's body as light as a swallow bending over, on the linen on the ground with a brush to show a round of bright moon, the beauty that flowed out from between the fingers, even the hair fluttered, and the dance seemed to forget the people around him, the sleeves swung lightly to the butterfly dance, the slender waist slowly twisted the silk tape, with the graceful rhythm of the dancing graceful figure, It seems to be a butterfly fluttering, like a fallen leaf swaying in the air, twisting the waist and getting down again, the rows of endless mountains and rivers on the linen come into view, the smile is always rippling on the face, and it is elegant like a summer lotus, moving and rotating, the long black hair is messy in the wind, Qingcang sits on the top of the main hall, looking intently, his eyes are full of surprise.

I saw Zi Yan leaning over perfectly, the continuous stream was presented on the linen, the end of the song seemed to turn around and shoot the swallow's action, the most is the smile that looks back, all kinds of style around the eyebrows, the music is slow and intense, rotating, throwing sleeves, twisting the waist, hem, leaning over, painting, song, many actions in one go, the music slowly slows down, the posture is also soft, the water sleeves fly, pull out more than five feet long, bend down and kneel, head back, on the linen cloth between the clouds after the most auspicious cloud, the waist bends 180 degrees, the music ends abruptly, everything is quiet, It seems that all this illusory has never happened with the disappearance of the music, and after the last dance, standing in the center of the linen, a night moon landscape painting is displayed, Zi Yan adjusted her breathing slightly, raised her clear eyes, and looked at it with a smile.

Everyone in the hall was amazed, this is a beautiful dance, beautiful, unique, elegant blended together, the morning rumors seem to be worthy of the name, Zi Yan then Ying Ying squatted and said, "The people are not talented, let the emperor laugh." ”

Qing Cang smiled softly, and couldn't help but applaud for a while, "Okay! It's wonderful, Miss Ziyan is really worthy of her name, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful dance in my life, can you tell me what the instrument in your mouth is called? ”

"Your Majesty, the musical instrument in the mouth of the folk girl is the phoenix string specially created by the pianist for the folk girl when she was young, which is unique in the world."

"It's wonderful, such a versatile beauty is really rare in the world, I want to be rewarded, come on, wrap up the neon dress and dance dress in Curry, and send it to Ning Guiren tomorrow."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised, the neon dress dance dress is the relics of the first emperor pure concubine, the pure concubine danced gracefully during her lifetime, the first emperor was extremely favored, and authorized Jiangnan embroidery girl to rush out of this neon dress dance dress overnight, it is said that its stitching is extremely meticulous, each silk thread is sewn with gold thread, and its heaviness is like a feather.

Zi Yan instantly thanked her head in surprise and said, "The people's daughter thanks the emperor for his grace." ”

"Sit down." , Zi Yan got up with a smile on her face, and returned to her seat slowly and elegantly, the ceremony was held for about half an hour before it ended, and all the concubines and concubines got up and saluted to send the queen mother out of the palace, just when the emperor passed by Qin Yuan's side, he suddenly paused and said, "Serve me back to Fengzhu Palace." ”

Qin Yuan instantly raised her green jade fingers lightly, got up elegantly, and a shallow smile appeared on her lips, "Okay." Then followed the emperor out of the main hall.

Only then did the concubines get up, and Concubine Yi took the lead in leaving, walked to Ning Guiren and paused, looked at Zi Yan and smiled disdainfully, "No matter how good Miss Zi Yan's dance is, the emperor didn't look at it after all, thinking that climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix should always see what his identity is." Then he raised his lips and slowly walked out of the hall.

The indifferent eyes of all the concubines and concubines all looked at Zi Yan, and then the noble Lian raised her eyes and smiled softly, "There has always been no shortage of talented people around the emperor, but I am afraid that Miss Zi Yan will be too careful." He smiled and walked away.

Zi Yan's eyes suddenly showed a little anger, she turned around decisively in an instant, and walked out of the hall with tenacious steps, completely ignoring Ning Guiren on the side, everyone looked at it suspiciously, and then left quietly with different faces, Concubine Wan then walked in front of Ning Guiren and said, "She won't make any trouble, right?" ”

Ning Guiren said indifferently, "Don't worry, Zi Yan is just a little willful in her temperament." ”

In the imperial study, Qing Cang seemed to be looking for something, and said to Zhou Ruiqing on the side, "Zhou Ruiqing, have you ever seen my purple wood brocade box?" Zhou Ruiqing frowned for a while, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, "But the brocade box sent by the Shanggong Bureau this afternoon?" ”

"yes, that's it."

"The minions see you in the drawer under the bookcase."

Qing Cang hurriedly walked to the bookcase, opened the dark lattice drawer, and saw that the purple wood brocade box was put in the drawer, Qing Cang's face turned extremely happy, picked up the purple wood brocade box, and laughed at himself, "My memory is getting worse and worse, go, drive the Fengzhu Palace." ”

Just as Qing Cang was taking a step, a eunuch walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a woman who claims to be Zi Yan who asks to be seen. ”

Qing Cang frowned suddenly, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said in a solemn tone, "Biography." The eunuch answered, and then went out of the imperial study.

After a while, I saw Zi Yan walking in with a gentle step, bowing and curtling towards Qing Cang, "The people's daughter Zi Yan has seen the emperor. ”

Qing Cang replied lightly, "Calm down." ”

Zi Yan slowly got up in an instant, and Qing Cang then said indifferently, "I don't know what happened to Miss Zi Yan coming late at night?" ”

"The folk girl is here to deliver her father's letterhead."

Qing Cang's face suddenly turned cold, Zhou Ruiqing immediately took it and handed it to Qing Cang, Qing Cang opened the letterhead and quickly swept it, and a sneer flashed on his lips in an instant, and he said in a weak tone, "Your father's mind I understand." ”

Now all the jewelry and fabric raw materials in the palace are from Zi Yan's father, and the palace only pays half of its cost every year, which is also the reason why Qing Cang favored Ning Guiren a few days ago, and now Zi Yan's father sent a letterhead, and let Qing Cang accept Zi Yan as a concubine, but Zi Yan is a concubine, and it is not from a famous family, it is indeed far-fetched to enter the palace directly as a concubine, Qin Yuan's noble status into the palace is just a concubine, and now Qing Cang's heart belongs to Qin Yuan, and he has no intention of accepting a new concubine, but Qing Cang can't refuse his father's intention in front of Zi Yan at the moment, I had to speak out and stabilize Zi Yan first.

Zi Yan then smiled slowly, "Your Majesty, is it okay to let the people serve you tonight?" ”

Zhou Ruiqing on the side couldn't help but be stunned, Zhou Ruiqing had served the emperor for many years, and it was the first time he had seen such an active woman, Qing Cang's face was cold in an instant, and then he said with a vague lip, "Miss Ziyan, I admit that you are indeed a top woman with both talent and appearance, but I have promised Concubine Hui to go to her tonight." ”

"What about tomorrow night?"

"Tomorrow night too."

"And what about the night after?"

"The day after tomorrow, every night in the future, I will rest in Fengzhu Palace."

Zi Yan looked at Qing Cang in confusion, smiled coldly, and the coldness dissipated to the corner of her eyes, "The folk girl really doesn't understand, she Hui Guifei is no longer infertile, why is the emperor still so favored." ”

"Presumptuous!" , Qing Cang suddenly roared angrily, "Miss Zi Yan is rude!" Qing Cang glared at Zi Yan angrily, already a little angry at the moment.

Zi Yan frowned slightly, let her heart fly, endured the emotions in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "Zi Yan is impulsive, and I hope that the emperor will not mind, in the future, Zi Yan will come to serve the emperor every day, and Zi Yan has expressed her filial piety, late at night, the emperor will rest early, and Zi Yan will retire." Immediately, Zi Yan slowly blessed her body, and walked out of the imperial study with a firm expression.

At the moment when Zi Yan went out of the door, Qin Yuan stood at the door with an indifferent face, Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the conversation between Fang Cai and Qing Cang must have been heard by Qin Yuan, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she gently leaned over to salute, and the corners of Qin Yuan's mouth hooked up a sneer, "Miss Zi Yan really has a heart, hasn't there been enough limelight for a dance above the hall?" I actually chased it to the imperial study, but it can be seen that this imperial study is not allowed to enter the female stream. ”

Zi Yan slowly straightened her waist, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and said with a smile, "The emperor didn't say anything about the people's daughters, but Concubine Hui was dissatisfied." ”

"Now I am afraid that there is more than one person in the palace who is dissatisfied, and it is best for this palace to advise Miss Ziyan, although it is superior to both talent and appearance, but I am afraid that you will be trapped in a catastrophe if you are unruly."

Zi Yan smiled indifferently in an instant, "The folk girl Xie Hui Guifei pointed out." Then he glanced at Concubine Hui, and slowly left, Qin Yuan looked at Zi Yan's back, the corners of her mouth were indifferent and instantly raised, and her eyes were full of ruthlessness.

At this moment, Qing Cang slowly came out of the imperial study, and saw Qin Yuan with a soft smile, "Why are you here?" Qin Yuan's face turned into a good smile, and Fang Cai's fierce color disappeared in an instant, "I've been waiting for you in Fengzhu Palace for a long time, it turns out that you are flirting with a beauty, I won't bother if I know it." ”

Qing Cang's eyebrows furrowed, and he said anxiously, "Flirting? Whether she came by herself or not, what does it have to do with me. ”

Qin Yuan suddenly smiled, "Okay, it's late at night, come back to the palace with me." ”

Qing Cang nodded slowly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Yuan's hand and walked forward, Qin Yuan smiled, "Outside the palace, it's not good for the palace people to see it." Qing Cang suddenly grabbed Qin Yuan's hand tighter, and said in a high tone, "I just want to let the people of the Mangong Palace know the Tao, and now you are my only one." ”

Qin Yuan showed her beautiful face slightly, and her gorgeous and delicate lips bloomed with a smile, "It's enough for you to have me in your heart, you don't have to be so obvious, you are a king, I can understand." ”

"Yuan'er, I just want to be your man, I want to prove to you that even if I am the king of a country, I can be exclusive to you."
