Chapter 23 Sun Jieyu dances to compete for favor
Gu Yunxi's sudden decision scorched Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes, but he didn't act, he leaned sideways to support his head with one hand, and his distressed gaze lingered on the girl's pleading face.
"Got it all figured?"
Asked lightly, the timbre was deep and a little hoarse, very abrasive.
Gu Yunxi was even more shy and hummed.
Leng Qingtang straightened her face and made her look at him:
"It's going to hurt, just a little bit, but I'm reluctant to ......"
He was really impatient just now, but once he touched her dark eyes, he came back to his senses.
Gu Yunxi's little red face was instantly disappointed and wrinkled, and his aggrieved flat mouth:
"It's better than ...... Does it hurt more than you just bit me? ”
It's good that she is an innocent big girl, and she took the initiative to ask for that thing but he refused, where did she put her face?
Leng Qingtang frowned and looked at her lovingly, he clearly realized that Gu Yunxi's pair of clear eyes set off unfathomable waves at the moment when he had just made up his mind, it was the accumulation of all kinds of troubles in the past, and he disappeared in the deep obscurity before he had time to capture the whole, so he couldn't help but have an illusion that her proposal and her request were more like the solemn completion of the last unfulfilled wish before the covenant of nine deaths and one lifetime!
But how could he allow her to leave again? Whoever dares to take her away or hurt her this time, he will break her body into pieces!
Seeing the girl's disappointment, Leng Qingtang intertwined his fingers with her, pressed his forehead against hers, and persuaded softly:
"Well, will you stay until the night of our cave room? I already said I would marry you, so I won't have to wait too long......"
Night in the Cave House? Gu Yunxi was stunned in his heart.
Leng Qingtang smiled elegantly when he saw it, and asked softly in her ear:
"Don't you believe me?"
It's not that she doesn't believe in the Overlord, but she doesn't believe in herself, and she doesn't believe that the hateful Mask Man can easily let her go.
Leng Qingtang didn't say more, his warm palm slowly slid down, the kiss marks burned, and at the moment when the girl's white earlobe lingered, it went down along the delicate lines, and the dogwood was printed.
Gu Yunxi's brows were deeply locked, he couldn't help himself by clinging to the back of the overseer, biting his lower lip and resisting and enjoying it, and after a long time, he was released in a burst of confusion and trembling.
"It's still early, it's okay to sleep with your eyes closed, I'll accompany you."
Leng Qingtang withdrew his hand, finished panting, closed her middle coat for her, and covered the quilt.
Gu Yunxi was indeed too tired, covered his fiery and aggressive little face on his chest, greedily sniffed the good smell of cold incense, and quickly fell asleep.
Leng Qingtang gently pulled his hand out from the back of her neck, quietly looking at her deep sleeping posture, watching her long eyelashes occasionally tremble slightly, and suddenly his heart ached to the extreme.
This girl, how cheerful and cheerful she used to be, and always liked to chirp around him, now she also has sadness, a plan, and a secret to refuse anyone or even his intervention.
Since entering the palace, she must have never slept a peaceful night. She was only seventeen years old, but she was no less burdened than he was.
……
Gu Yunxi was woken up by the little eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and when he opened his eyes, half of the bed was empty, and the overseer was no longer in the room.
The little eunuch said that someone from Chuxiu Palace had come and asked her to follow her back to Chuxiu Palace. Gu Yunxi straightened his clothes and hair bun and rushed to the main hall with the little eunuch, and saw Leng Qingtang and Yan Gui talking.
At noon, when Leng Qingtang left Yongning Palace, he sent someone to Chuxiu Palace to deliver a letter, telling Concubine Xu that her affairs would be fine, and telling her to pick up people in the palace later. Out of the celebrant supervisor, Leng Qingtang called Gu Yunxi aside, and carefully instructed her to go back to ask Concubine Xu for her guilt first, and it was rare for her to be able to fight against the imperial concubine in public.
Of course, Gu Yunxi understood the reason, and after returning to Chuxiu Palace with Yan Gui, when he entered the palace to see Concubine Xu, he found that Gu Yunyao was also there.
The trip to Yongning Palace caused Aunt Dui to be punished, Gu Yunyao felt uneasy, and soon after the incident subsided, she returned to Xiaoyexuan, so she went to Concubine Xu's palace to wait for news.
Seeing that Gu Yunxi came back safe and sound, the masters and servants of the two palaces were overjoyed.
Gu Yunxi remembered Leng Qingtang's words, and immediately asked for guilt and was about to kneel down to punish himself, but was persuaded by Gu Yunyao.
Concubine Xu originally complained about the recklessness of the person in charge, but after Gu Yunyao's hard pleading, her anger disappeared, and she did not punish Gu Yunxi, but only asked her to think about Fang Er's development of a few more fresh delicacies.
Sending Gu Yunyao away, Jinzhu waited for Concubine Xu to be placed. When removing makeup in front of the bronze mirror, Jinzhu said abruptly:
"Niangniang, don't you think this is strange today? We have never had anything to do with Dongchang, and Lord Xu also clashed with Dongchang several times in the previous dynasty, why did Lord Leng come out for Chuxiu Palace today? ”
Concubine Xu's slender jade fingers fiddled with the balm, and shook her head abruptly:
"Hongu also feels strange. According to today's posture, the eunuch wanted to take the twilight girl to the celebrant supervisor, and the palace didn't react at first, until we returned to the palace and he sent someone to deliver the message, and the palace thought that he was going to save the twilight girl. What is his purpose? ”
"Mother, that eunuch is used to being capricious. In the past, he was next to the imperial concubine, and later there was the West Factory, and once joined forces with the East Palace. Now that our little prince is growing up day by day, the emperor doesn't say anything, is it possible that the celebrant has already gotten some rumors? Lord Leng knows that you have always favored the twilight girl, will you take the opportunity to sell your favor and want to cage with us? ”
"Hear the wind?"
Concubine Xu immediately pulled her face, put the balm box indignantly, and said angrily:
"Don't say that again! This palace has lost a son in the past, and now God blesses and has Lin'er, the only hope of this palace is that he can grow up safely and smoothly, as for the rest, it is all up to heaven's will, and this palace will not force it.
People like Leng Qingtang always have a purpose in doing things, this palace and his father don't like him, if he approaches Chuxiu Palace with his thoughts, this palace will want his wishful thinking to fail! ”
Jinzhu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and begged again and again:
"Niangniang is angry, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid don't dare to speak again!"
……
The moonlight was quiet, and Xiao Yexuan's guard of honor slowly walked on the silent palace road.
Gu Yunyao said to Zhao An on the sedan chair:
"When you go back, remember to take ten taels of silver from your account and give it to Songqin. She was injured to protect the palace, so let her recuperate in peace during this time. ”
Zhao An Gongsheng:
"Don't worry, master, the slave remembers. The master was sympathetic to his subordinates, and the slave first thanked the master for the grace of the Songqin girl. ”
Gu Yunyao raised her eyes and sighed at the empty night:
"It's all useless in this palace, and Aunt Songqin was injured and Aunt Dusk almost lost her life. This time, thanks to Leng Qingtang, he rescued Aunt Dusk. ”
Zhao An followed the side of the sedan chair, pondering as he walked, and suddenly talked about:
"Master, the minion feels that the cold master seems to be ...... to Aunt Dusk"
Gu Yunyao heard her facial features twisted slightly:
"You think so too? When the palace heard that he brought a letter to Chuxiu Palace, he had an idea, but he just fell in love with Sister Xu's current status in the palace......"
Zhao An shook his head slightly, and furrowed his brows:
"What does the slave mean is that you don't feel that Aunt Dusk's demeanor and demeanor are very similar to our little master?"
Gu Yunyao's expression was stunned, and her immobile posture was slightly bumpy as the sedan chair walked forward, and after thinking about it, she spoke slowly:
"Some, right...... Her craftsmanship is as good as Yunxi's. You mean, just because of this, Leng Qingtang fell in love with her? ”
Zhao An lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Gu Yunyao suddenly became indignant, clenched her fists and smashed into the mahogany stakes of the sedan chair, and chattered:
"The clouds and tides are not settled, how can he think like this first. In this way, is he still worthy of Yunxi! ”
……
September 19th, Autumn Festival.
At dawn, there were eunuchs and palace maids, cleaning up the inside and outside of the treasure and hall, the pavilions and pavilions, the jade steps were clean and dusty, and the water pavilion terrace outside the apse was hung with Su embroidered curtains, which were used to block the cool breeze into the night and the moisture of the lake.
The twilight is falling, and the hour is coming.
The drums sounded in unison, the beautiful rhythm was passed slowly, and the harem concubines and the three princesses lined up into the palace and slowly sat down.
Emperor Jingxiao was the last to walk into the Baohe Palace, the bright yellow flying dragon robe on his body was majestic, and the scrolling place was embroidered with the auspicious pattern of the rivers and mountains and seas, and he sat on the dragon couch, holding the supreme nobility of the mountains and rivers with squinting eyes.
On the left side of the dragon couch, Queen Qian is dressed luxuriously and smiles with a kind face; On the right side of the dragon couch, the imperial concubine is dressed gracefully and charmingly.
Gu Yunxi stood behind Concubine Xu, turned her head to look at Queen Qian on the gold-lacquered platform, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes.
A chess piece she laid out earlier finally came in handy today......
Every year's family banquet is like this, Emperor Jingxiao doesn't seem to be able to lift his spirit, after three rounds of wine, after Yu Zhaoyi stroked the piano to help the fun, he wilted on the side of the dragon couch, his eyes half drooped and was about to fall asleep.
Empress Qian took a glass of wine on the side, saw this and gently dropped the glass, looking at the emperor and asking with concern:
"Your Majesty, are you tired?"
"Oh, nothing."
Emperor Jingxiao adjusted his posture slightly, and knew that the family banquet had not yet started, and seeing that Yingying Yanyan had added a few young and delicate new faces to the audience, he still wanted to stay for a while, and he didn't want to easily lose everyone's interest.
Queen Qian smiled gently:
"Your Majesty, this family banquet and concubines have specially prepared a program to express their hearts, and the right to make the autumn festival and harvest festival to cheer everyone up."
"Oh? Does the queen have any arrangements? ”
Emperor Jingxiao suddenly became interested, and turned sideways to the empress.
Queen Qian smiled mysteriously, stretched out her arms forward, and said:
"Your Majesty, look over there."
At this time, the silk and bamboo tune changed, and everyone saw that in the night outside the main hall, a fiery red dance dress was dazzling.
Sun Shengsheng's makeup is gorgeous, his pink lips are shining, his hands are blue, and his jade wrists are flying and dancing in the night.
The water sleeves are flying, and the butterflies are burning like fire, the face is pretty, and the eyelashes are trembling.
The emperor's eyes were stunned, and he could already see the gods, and unconsciously stood up from the dragon couch, bypassed the dragon case, and stared directly at the outside of the hall, standing still.
But I saw the flying red butterfly somehow leave the ground with its feet and suddenly fly into the air.
Outside the gate, the sky suddenly became empty.
The emperor was surprised and hurriedly chased down the golden steps.
At this time, the red butterfly landed lightly, a touch of red sultry people, rushed into the hall surrounded by many white-clothed beauties, and danced again in the wide aisle, as light as a swallow.
Gu Yunxi took in Sun Shengsheng's charming posture and the emperor's demeanor in his eyes, the corners of his lips pulled a slight arc, and his eyebrows were full of confidence.
It seems that Sun Jieyu has won this time.
His eyes flickered silently, and he quietly swept towards the concubines on both sides of the aisle.
Oh, that kind of face, all kinds of looks, some people are really peaceful, some people are extremely vicious, some people are amazing, some people are jealous, some people are happy, some people are sad, and all kinds of beings in the world are in a flash.
Suddenly, Gu Yunxi's expression froze, and Gu Yunxi was surprised to find that Gu Yunjin's seat was empty, and he didn't know when he was gone.
At this time, the music had reached its climax, and I saw the white-clothed dancers posing motionless, and the red-clothed Sun Shengsheng lifted one foot lightly, and his toes flew around, spinning lightly in place.
As the rhythm of the music accelerated, Sun Shengsheng's speed of rotation became faster and faster, she still stood proudly, stretched her arms, and relied on the power of rotation to drag up the wide skirt and red water sleeves, making herself like a blooming rose, layer upon layer of blooming and spouting, and Sun Shengsheng's curvy and graceful figure is the most beautiful delicate Rui in Huaxin.
At the end of the song, someone counted it, and Sun Shengsheng rotated fifty-two times one after another.
I thought she would faint on the ground at the moment when the music came, but who knew that she stood on the embroidered carpet with her sleeves folded, breathing lightly and evenly, only her face looked like a thin layer of red overflowing because of the excitement of dancing, which was beautiful and moving.
On the golden platform, Wan Yuyao's face was rare without waves, a touch of lust flashed in her eyes, and the cold swishing blue light slammed towards Queen Qian, and she said in a deep voice without smiling:
"I didn't expect you to have this hand, sister."
