Chapter 5 Dancing under the moon in the Shaohua Palace

Qian Qian glanced up at Ling Xiao, and then said to the maid, "I know." The palace maid bowed, turned and hurried away.

"Brother Ling Xiao, since you can see my wounds, presumably the eldest prince has also seen them, I wonder if he will associate this incident with me helping the assassins escape, otherwise he would not have left me alone, brother, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, you can just answer truthfully." Ling Xiao's tone was indifferent, but he was completely sure, as if others couldn't hurt Qian Qian in the slightest.

"Isn't that a confession that you let the Assassins go?"

"You are also forced to do so, he will not embarrass you, even if you really want to punish you, then I am still here."

"Brother Ling Xiao, you're right. After all, I am the daughter of General Bai, even if he is the eldest prince, he can't do anything to me easily, but I don't know what he will do if he comes down? ”

"It's okay, I'm with you, don't worry!"

"This time there is Brother Lao!"

When the banquet was over, his father and mother left the banquet, and the ministers dispersed.

"The eldest prince will summon you in a while, you have to behave properly, don't mess around!" Bai Jiacheng smiled and patted his daughter's shoulder.

"Daddy, I don't want to go!"

"This kind of thing, don't mess around and be willful, you have to go, that's it!"

"Daddy!"

“……”

Qian Qian looked up and saw the light yarn in the Chang'an Hall dancing with the night breeze, the dark blue sky and the moon rising, and the night was as cool as water. Countless palace maids came in one after another in the entire Chang'an Palace, and they began to take care of the residual ginger in the banquet in an orderly manner.

Neither Qian Qian nor Ling Xiao saw the shadow of the eldest prince.

"Miss, please follow the slave maid to the Shaohua Palace" The person who came was a palace maid with a ball head and a long plain pink dress, and she said to Qian Qian softly.

"The palace is really extravagant, you need a palace for a banquet, and you need another palace to talk about things," Qian Qian muttered in her heart, and then followed the palace maid, Ling Xiao walked behind them, like a guard.

"Ahh Qian Qian couldn't hold back a sneeze, feeling someone drape a robe over her shoulders, and she turned her head to meet Ling Xiao's soft gaze.

Ling Xiao said jokingly: "Don't get caught in the cold!" Then he moved his gaze to her neckline and gently knotted the long cord of the cape neckline.

Coriander let his hands tie knots in front of her collar, a pair of large bony hands slender but powerful.

"Thank you..."Qian Qian was slightly stunned, and the palace maid just stood behind Qian Qian with her head down.

When she arrived at the gate of Chang'an Palace, the palace maid stretched out her hand to block Ling Xiao: "Please stay with the prince!" The eldest prince only allowed Miss Qian Qian to enter, and asked the prince not to embarrass the slave maid. ”

Qian Qian glanced back at Ling Xiao.

"Let's go inside!"

Ling Xiao watched Qian Qian in front of the vermilion gate, the hair in her ears fluttered in the wind, her slender wrist still carried the bracelet he had given her, and the light green Luo skirt between her ankles floated in the wind, until she watched her walk into the door, and the palace maid also followed, and the door "knows", and then closed, only the evening breeze blew the spotted bamboo leaves on the wall.

A wry smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, and he didn't know why he always felt that once she stepped through this door, she would never come out again. He raised his hand to knock out the two soldiers in front of the door, and then crossed to the city wall with a light click, a plain dress as if to dissolve with the moonlight, his eyes were indifferent, as if all the changes in the world had nothing to do with him.

Then, his eyes stared at one place tightly, a woman in the moonlight, agile and graceful dancing posture, long sleeves in her hands freely, almost feminine and agile, the woman was none other than Coriander Qian.

There was a faint cramp in Ling Xiao's heart, this jade flute dance was danced by Qian Qian for Ling Xiao.

"Uncomfortable, isn't it?"

Another figure of a man in black appeared on the eaves, but Ling Xiao was not surprised at all.

"Zi Fei Fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"

"Perhaps, if the water is robbed by someone, how happy will it be if the rut is dry?!"

"Don't be so confident!"

"It's not that I'm confident, it's true."

"I will kill this Wei Tianyue one day"

"It's better to cooperate!"

"It's just for the throne, why be so polite?"

"Clever!"

In front of the Shaohua Palace, the house was brightly lit, and Wei Tianyue was sitting on a stone bench drinking tea, quietly waiting for General Bai's daughter to come here.

Long ago, Qian Qian guessed that Wei Tianyue might have come to her because of the assassin's matter, but the first thing she didn't expect was "Can you sit down and have a cup of tea with me?" ”

Qian Qian was slightly stunned, Wei Tianyue's expression was no longer so cold, but it made Qian Qian even more unsure of his purpose, and Qian Qian sat opposite him.

"What are you looking for me, Prince?"

"This king wants to enjoy and appreciate the dance of the great daughter of the White Mansion!"

"The great prince of a country, isn't there no singing and dancing girl to enrich the leisure life of the great prince?"

"Do you jump or not?"

"Just say, what if I don't say yes?"

"If you don't agree, the people waiting for you outside have a way to deal with him." Wei Tianyue smiled slightly with a hint of appreciation, at this moment he really admired the woman in front of him, he could be so calm at this time, and his thoughts could be so sensitive, he didn't need to say much to understand what he wanted to say.

"Ling Xiao?" Qian Qian stood up as soon as she was excited.

"Ling Xiao has no grudge against you, why do you want to target him?"

"Don't you know that curiosity kills people?"

Qian Qian clenched her fists, pursed her lips tightly, and retreated to the open space in the courtyard.

Wei Tianyue's eyes had a hint of playfulness, and he quietly looked at the woman in front of him who was slender and captivated, and he became more and more curious about her.

Qian Qian once danced this dance for Ling Xiao and said, "One dance in this life is only for one person." ”

At that time, Qian Qian was also dancing under the moonlight, while Ling Xiao was playing a flute on the side.

It was really a Hongmen banquet, she had to break this oath for the sake of protecting Ling Xiao's thoughtfulness, and dance for a man she never knew, but who was above 10,000 people under him, and she hated Wei Tianyue who was sitting on the side to enjoy the dance.

And Qian Qian didn't know at this time that her father and the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty were ready to marry her to the man in front of her, because her fate was no longer hers alone, and since she was born with the golden key of Miss Baifu, she had to bear all the backfires brought about by her special status.

And Wei Tianyue knew that Ling Xiao must be following behind Qian Qian, maybe he was watching them from a dark corner at the moment, and he asked Qian Qian to dance for him, just to let Ling Xiao see that he wanted Ling Xiao to lose completely.

Unexpectedly, after this dance was danced, the eldest prince rewarded the Bai family with five hundred taels of gold......

"My subordinates don't understand, since the emperor wants to promote a marriage for your Royal Highness and the eldest lady of the Bai family, why don't you just let the emperor issue an edict to make this marriage?"

"My father knows that the eldest lady of the Bai family has grown up with Ling Xiao's childhood sweetheart, and the bold engagement of the marriage will only make Bai Qian dissatisfied, how can she obey this marriage if she and I don't know each other, I am afraid that this Bai Qian will cause trouble afterwards, if Qian Qian is dissatisfied with the marriage and Ling Xiao unites against me, I will lose both with them, and Ling Xiao secretly reserves troops, I need enough time to find out this secret force, I want to let Qian Qian be my concubine willingly, and let the Bai family's military power belong to me, When the time comes, I can wipe out Ling Xiao's forces, and now if I act rashly, my loss will not be small, if the Bai family and Ling Xiao are adding the power of the three princes, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Then why didn't you tell Miss Qian Qian about Ling Xiao's secret reserve of the army? In this way, Miss Coriander can be shaken."

"It's not the time yet" Now Qian Qian's trust in Ling Xiao is too much, and the forces behind Ling Xiao are too hidden, even he can't find out how many soldiers and horses Ling Xiao has, and denying Ling Xiao in front of Qian Qian will only backfire.

"Your Majesty is willing to do everything that can help His Highness, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire!"

"As long as you don't betray me!"

"Since ancient times, kings have fought for hegemony and won or lost, no matter the result is successful or failing, your subordinates will always be loyal to Your Highness!" I knew in an instant that this young man in his prime in front of him would be a wise emperor if he became the king of a country! But if they fail, they may die without a place to bury! But his life was saved by the eldest prince, and he will repay this kindness with his life's energy!

"In the entire Celestial Empire, I trust you the most!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Bow your head in an instant.

Wei Tianyue patted Instantaneous on the shoulder, walked out of the underground stone passage alone, and instantly looked at Wei Tianyue who was walking towards the source of the stone passage, with incomparably tenacious trust and determination in his eyes.

After the eldest prince's five hundred taels of gold were delivered to Baifu, Bai Jiacheng was very happy.

"It seems that this coriander is still quite popular with the eldest prince," since the palace returned to his Bai Mansion, Bai Jiacheng's smile full of satisfaction overflowed his cheeks.

"Do you know that the eldest prince can take a fancy to our daughter?" Zhang Caixin was slightly skeptical, after all, if the eldest prince married his daughter, it would only consolidate the throne. As for treating Bai Shou and the old man sincerely, the three thousand daughters of the palace beauties are pampered at home, and once they enter the harem, they are as deep as the sea, and the intrigue is unguardable, which is not what Zhang Caixin wants to see.

"The eldest prince never specially summons women, and the eldest prince not only took Qian Qian into the Chang'an Palace in full view of everyone at the birthday banquet that day, you said that if it was just to consolidate his own power, he only needed to do this, why did he summon my daughter alone? And gave five hundred taels of gold? ”

"I hope so!" Zhang Caixin walked out of the bedroom, the moonlight floated bright and quiet like water.

"My daughter must be different." Bai Jiacheng stood with his hands in his hands, looking up at the round of bright full moon above his head.

"This is not necessarily a good thing" Regarding her husband's expectations for her daughter, Zhang Caixin always had a worry in her heart.

"We just gave her one more choice!"

"Then what if she doesn't want to marry the eldest prince? Is it not in vain that you are doing this? At that time, what if the eldest prince has feelings for our daughter, but Qian Qian doesn't want to marry the eldest prince? ”
