Yu Nizi lowered her head slightly, her face flushed, and she said in a low and slightly shyly voice: "The elegant room is small, then we will just spend one night......"

Li Ji was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "There is only one bed in this bed, let's sleep with you, I'll just sleep on the floor tonight!"

With that, he took off his coat and spread it on the ground, and with a wave of his hand he extinguished the oil lamp.

Yu Nizi heard the sound of squirming and undressing, and suddenly said nervously: "It's cold on the ground, if you don't come to bed, there is still a place!"

"No, it's the height of summer, it's cool, and you'll be better off in a girl's bed. ”

Yu Nizi stared at Li Ji, who was already lying on the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although Li Ji and Yu Nizi were a few steps apart, the tip of her nose smelled the clear and elegant fragrance wafting from her curvy shoulders, and her mood couldn't help but become slightly agitated, tossing and turning on the ground, unable to sleep, and many strange thoughts flashed in her mind from time to time.

In the originally dimly lit room, the moonlight poured in, and it was suddenly clearly visible, and Li Ji looked sideways, and Yu Nizi had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

She tossed and turned, exhausted, and must have fallen asleep. Li Ji secretly said in his heart, he was a little upset and couldn't sleep, and he wanted to talk to Yu Nizi, but she didn't expect her to sleep so quickly.

Looking sideways, Yu Nizi's eyes were closed, and her long, curled eyelashes cast two fan-shaped shadows on her cheeks, which seemed to flutter gently like butterfly feathers as she breathed.

This scene reminded him of the calm scene when he saw her stunning appearance for the first time in Chun Manlou, so he curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "My sister seems to be able to adapt very quickly no matter what the situation, just like now, in such a bad situation, she can sleep so peacefully." ”

Sometimes he is strange, most girls are cowardly and timid, but they are silent and stubborn, and what they say and do is always beyond his expectations, just like Li Ruoxi in the Blood Maple Forest and Yu Nizi in front of him.

He raised his eyes to look out the window, the moonlight was like water, and the silence shrouded the night sky, his eyes were vain, staring at a certain place silently.

Suddenly, Yu Nizi turned over, and heard the creaking of the wooden bed, which pulled Li Ji's mind back: "The hour is not early, it is better to rest early, nourish your spirit, and you will leave the palace tomorrow, it must be very dangerous, and it is better to be cautious in everything." ”

Thinking of this, Li Ji shook his head vigorously, stopped thinking nonsense, and fell asleep.

The next day, Li Ji was woken up by Yu Nizi, and when he woke up, he saw an extra sheet on his body, still with a faint fragrance.

"What's going on today? How can I sleep so deeply in such a situation? I used to wake up at dawn and never slept in, it's strange!"

Li Ji was annoyed when he heard Yu Nizi say, "It's dawn." ”

He followed her gaze out the window, and the morning sun was shining brightly, reflecting the inside of the room crimson.

He panicked for a while, and was about to get up, but found that his legs were curled up and paralyzed, and now it was like countless ants gnawing at his ankles, and he almost couldn't stand up, so he rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

I saw Yu Nizi staring at him with a smile: "Are you awake?"

Li Ji nodded, scratched his hair, stood up after a while, and said, "Yes, sister, did you sleep well last night?"

"Giggles, it's okay, the night was calm. The hour is not early, and the eunuchs and palace maids of the various palaces have gathered to the needle tower one after another, and we also set off as soon as possible to blend in. ”

"Without further ado, let's go!"

The two walked out of the room, and sure enough, they saw the eunuchs and palace maids hurrying to the avenue outside the courtyard, both of them were dressed in palace costumes and integrated into the team, without attracting the attention of others at all.

"Stop!" A voice suddenly came from behind, and Li Ji and Yu Nizi's hearts tightened, and they didn't know who was calling.

When I looked back, I saw that it was Gonggong Liu from the Qing Commercial Administration standing behind him, and said, "Miss Yu, why are you here, everyone is looking for you everywhere?"

Yu Nizi was stunned for a moment and said: "Father-in-law Liu, the little girl has just arrived, she is unfamiliar with life, she is unconsciously lost while walking, she can't find her way back, and she is separated from her sisters." ”

Gonggong Liu hurriedly said: "Oh, I see. Come with me, while it's still too late, go change your clothes, lightly sweep your moth eyebrows, apply a little powder, and then meet up with your sisters!

Yu Nizi bowed his head and said, "Yes, Gonggong Liu, because of the little woman's mistake, he almost made a big mistake, and he was really panicked." ”

Gonggong Liu waved his hand and said, "Let's go......"

Li Ji was beside Yu Nizi, and when he saw Gonggong Liu suddenly appear, he secretly said that something was wrong, and he had already tightened the hilt of the sword in his sleeve, ready to stab out unexpectedly, and if he came out of the sword at this time, he was sure that he would seal his throat with a sword.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, he saw Yu Nizi giving him frequent glances, signaling him to be calm and not to act recklessly.

Li Ji was stunned, looking at Yu Nizi blankly, I don't know what she meant?

Yu Nizi didn't say much, and when he turned around and passed by Li Ji's side, he suddenly squatted down and brushed a wisp of dust on his embroidered shoes, and a bun fell down, Yu Nizi whispered with a sideways face: "Third brother, the palace is heavily guarded, remember not to act rashly, let alone break through the palace gate." My sister first followed Father-in-law Liu to the Qing Commercial Bureau, and then saw the opportunity to act. We agreed to meet at the door of the needle building, and if my sister still failed to make the appointment at noon, it meant that she could not get out or had suffered an accident.

I have something to ask for, you take my hair bun and go to my father Yu Baoqing near Chunmanlou in Yangxian County, tell him that his daughter is unfilial and trapped in the deep palace, and tell him to do it for himself in the future. ”

"This ......"

Before Li Ji could speak, Yu Nizi had already floated away, disappearing around the corner of the courtyard with Gonggong Liu.

Li Ji picked up the bun on the ground, and saw that it was like a butterfly, small and exquisite, delicate and lovely, looking at Yu Nizi's distant figure, he couldn't help but feel lost, and he was stunned.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a knife guard walking towards him, Li Ji looked terrified, hurriedly hid his hair in his arms, lowered his head and slowly advanced with the team towards the needle tower.

The sun rises and shines on the delicate corner tower, sprinkling a bright light on the high wall, and from a distance, a palace tower nestled in the trees, revealing a glazed tile roof, just like a golden iron tower, towering among the clouds.

Surrounded by a pool of water, duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear.

Under the clear blue sky, the golden glazed tile heavy eaves of the "needle floor" is particularly brilliant.

Just as the eunuchs and palace maids were marching in an orderly manner, the attendants and maidservants helped the queen mother out of Fengran.

Everyone immediately stopped, knelt down on one knee to the left and said, "Slave and maid to the queen mother, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

This was the first time Li Ji saw the queen, he was very nervous, knelt in the crowd, and quietly looked up: I saw that the queen mother was wearing a summer velvet crown, decorated with a red hat weft, and there were golden phoenixes and jewels on the hat weft;

The robe is made of bright yellow satin, this set in summer looks more brisk, the collar is also embroidered with dragon patterns, and the outer layer of court gowns is covered, and the dragon pattern is on it, which is very graceful and luxurious, and the atmosphere is calm.

"Get up!" said the queen softly, her voice not dull or dry, generous and gentle, not angry and arrogant.

The eunuchs and palace maids stood up one after another and stood with their hands down.

Then the golden Zhai Yu of the concubine and the princess's warm sedan chair docked at the edge of the pond in turn, and the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids were neatly arranged on both sides.

Many concubines and princesses are also supported by the maids and maids, and they are heading towards the "needle floor".

The two kneeling little eunuchs behind Li Ji were whispering, and one of them asked, "Why don't the masters sit in and walk away, it's really rare!"

"What do you know?'Needle Building' is His Majesty's construction of the city's view, the Qixi Palace Maiden is called the needle floor, praying for blessings and wishes, begging for skillful arts, the prince and princess's coming-of-age ceremony, are all completed here, it is the holy place of the harem, not to be desecrated, this year is the 'Needle Building' new completion celebration, His Majesty invited the royal family and nobles, civil and military officials and the elders of the sect to participate together, lively and extraordinary. Speak quietly, or you will disturb your master, and your head will be in danger!"

Although the voices of the two of them were as thin as mosquitoes and flies, Li Ji was deaf and clear-sighted, and he could hear it clearly, and he couldn't imagine that the scene in the palace was magnificent and breathtaking.

Li Ji couldn't help but look around, only to see that the needle piercing tower was adjacent to the palace gate, and there were already royal relatives and nobles, civil and military officials, and immortals and scholars of various sects all present, and the surrounding guards, eunuchs, and palace maids were lined up.

Li Ji secretly rejoiced: "Although the palace gate is heavily guarded, there are a lot of people coming in and out today, and if you get into it, it will not be difficult." ”

Now just wait for Yu Nizi to get out, and we can try to sneak out of the palace together.

At the moment of thinking, he heard a person behind him pushing him and said, "Little eunuch, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry into the building to serve the master?"

Li Ji looked up and saw a golden sword guard in armor walking over, pointing at him and shouting.

It turned out that when Li Ji was out of his mind, the eunuchs and palace maids had already entered the "needle floor" with the concubines, princesses and others.

Li Ji bowed his head to the golden sword guards and smiled innocently, and hurriedly ran towards the team.

Stepping into the "needle floor", I saw that there is an arched door hole in each of the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the pavilion, and you can see the prosperous scene of the palace in each direction through the four holes.

Walk through the arched doorway and climb the thousands of stone steps to reach the top of the needle-piercing building.

It can be described as splendid, the gold-topped stone wall, painted with a variety of bird patterns, colorful, the floor is paved with a carpet of soft brocade satin sleeves, romantic and ** temperament, the high entrance hall and the magnificent door, the round arched window and the corner of the stone, showing grace and luxury.

"Piercing the Needle Building" has been blackened by a crowd at this time, Li Ji has not yet stood still, in the middle of the hall, the performance has begun.

In the sound of Yale, a woman dressed in a plain gauze dress, a long scarlet silk, a light veil mask, a hairpin and a golden crown of the front sky, holding a folding fan and a five-color ribbon rattle, walked out.

After the plain yarn girl finished signaling to the gods of the four directions, the sound of Yale sounded again, and with the harmony of the harmoniz, the dong flute, and the pipa, she began to stretch her long sleeves and dance like a butterfly.

After a while, many colorful female dancers slowly walked out from both sides, and danced lightly with the plain yarn girl to the accompaniment of music.

With the sudden sharp turn of the music, the dancers in the field are like blooming fireworks, weak and resolute, with the acceleration of the rhythm, the breathtaking stains are overwhelming, such as crying and complaining, and complaining.

The plain yarn girl fell to the ground in an instant, Yale stopped abruptly, and finally the sound of the flute rose slowly, the woman turned into a butterfly, circled up, and in the fluttering five-colored ribbons and plain yarn sleeves, and red long silk, everyone couldn't see her face clearly, leaving a strand of hairband to disappear from sight.

Everyone just felt that there was an illusion that when this dance ended, would she turn into the flying butterfly and go gracefully......

At this time, the woman was dressed in glass, dazzling and fell from the sky, and in an instant the four were silent, the woman's long sleeves were raised, and the snow-white petals fell with the wind, like a fairy descending to the mortal world, with moon eyebrows and starry eyes, and autumn water in her eyes.

Everyone in the hall was immersed in the beautiful dance, and before they could react, the dance had stopped abruptly with her last turn, and Yale had also stopped.

After the dance, the plain yarn girl took off her veil, knelt in front of the emperor with a group of dancers, and bowed: "The 'blessing dance' choreographed by the Qing Dynasty has been completed, I wish Your Majesty good health and prosperity." ”

Li Ji took a closer look and found that the plain yarn girl turned out to be Yu Nizi.
