Chapter 246: A farce
The old lady walked in from outside the hall at this time, ignoring the subtle atmosphere in the hall, "Queen Mother, the reception banquet in front has been prepared, please bring Her Royal Highness the princess to the table." ”
Luo Shuangyi followed everyone to the front hall, which was completely different from before, obviously prepared for Xie Yuxuan, and the entire hall was exotic.
As is customary, the song and dance begins, and the dancing girls enter and swing their waists to the sound of the drums.
Luo Shuangyi sat alone on one side, opposite Luo Yingxue and Yan, Luo Yingxue didn't need to say anything, Yan took care of her very well. Xie Yuxuan accompanied the Queen Mother to sit on the upper seat.
Suddenly, a slightly familiar fragrance attracted Luo Shuangyi's attention, and after thinking about it for a while, he reacted to the kind of smell he had smelled on Nian Fu's body at the beginning.
The others had only been with each other for a while, but they didn't smell the fragrance, and their eyes fell on the dancers on the stage, but the dancers' movements were too mixed and chaotic, and they couldn't tell who the smell came from at all.
In order to find the source of the fragrance, Luo Shuangyi stared at the dancers on the stage, and she shielded everything that happened around her, until the dancers left after the performance, Luo Shuangyi did not lock the source of the fragrance.
The fragrance on Nian Fu's body, the outer room he quietly raised, and the same fragrance on the dancing girl in the palace, these fragmented clues made Luo Shuangyi completely unable to grasp them.
"It seems that my sister really likes this dance, the dancers are gone, and my sister is still immersed in singing and dancing......"
Luo Shuangyi came back to his senses all of a sudden, and heard Luo Yingxue say with a smile, "What? Luo Shuangyi didn't react a little.
"The picture of my sister dancing for the emperor before, my sister still remembers, it is not inferior to Fang Cai's dance, the princess came from afar, why don't you dance for her sister and catch the wind for Her Royal Highness the princess?"
At first, Luo Shuangyi could still refuse, but Luo Yingxue pulled the dance and the princess together in the next sentence. Luo Yingxue looked at Luo Shuangyi and smiled proudly.
The Queen Mother glanced at Luo Yingxue approvingly, "Since that's the case, let's take her to the back to change clothes." The Queen Mother's mother Chrysostom said that Luo Shuangyi had no choice but to follow Mama to the backstage.
was not prepared, was temporarily arranged to dance, Luo Shuangyi actually had no bottom in his heart, besides, this is on the territory of the Queen Mother, Luo Yingxue's words just now, was it the instructions of the Queen Mother?
Luo Shuangyi was full of doubts, but he could only take one step at a time. I hope everything goes well......
There were many dance costumes hanging on the shelves, Luo Shuangyi was temporarily put up to dance, he was not prepared at all, and after thinking about it, he could only find the dance costume that was similar to the previous dance.
But just when Luo Shuangyi was about to wear that dance costume, he suddenly found that the cuffs seemed to be a little white. powder, she dipped it and twisted it on her fingertips.
This thing appeared on the dance costume, it must have been artificial. But thinking back to the people who were there just now, this is the Queen Mother's Palace, and those who can do anything in the Queen Mother's Palace, except for the Queen Mother...... And who else is there?
Just when Luo Shuangyi was still thinking, the grandmother who was waiting outside knocked on the door impatiently, "The Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess are still waiting, haven't you changed your clothes yet?" ”
Luo Shuangyi looked at the white powder in his hand and had an idea.
When she returned to the main hall, everyone was already in a state of drinking for three rounds, and the Queen Mother still pulled Xie Yu to talk warmly and was reminded by someone to realize that Luo Shuangyi had changed her clothes and came back.
Luo Shuangyi has been paying attention to the Queen Mother's expression, but he has not found any difference from before. Luo Yingxue held the tea and looked at Luo Shuangyi standing in the center of the stage with a smile.
When the music played, Luo Shuangyi left everything behind and began to devote himself to dancing. I haven't practiced for a while, Luo Shuangyi is very careful in every step, and as the last drum beat falls, Luo Shuangyi finally finishes the dance.
There were no accidents in the whole process, Luo Shuangyi had a full view of the demeanor of everyone present, and he never saw whose handiwork the white powder on the dance dress was.
Luo Yingxue watched Luo Shuangyi dial another full house, and secretly almost gritted her teeth, "Compared with the previous performance, my sister's dancing skills have lost a kind of charm, and from my sister's point of view, it is not as good as before." ”
Luo Yingxue turned her head to look at the Queen Mother and Xie Yuxuan, because the distance was a little far, she was a little unsure of the Queen Mother's expression, but she still decided to test the Queen Mother's attitude.
Unexpectedly, without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Xie Yuxuan suddenly spoke, "This princess is a little curious, I have seen Luo Shuangyi's dancing skills, but Luo Yingxue, how your dancing skills are, we don't know." If you have superb dancing skills, then you naturally have nothing to say about Luo Shuangyi. But if you can't even compare to Luo Shuangyi, then what you just said is not a joke? ”
Luo Yingxue was stunned by Xie Yuxuan's words, she looked at Xie Yuxuan in disbelief, "Isn't the princess joking?" I'm pregnant, how can I dance? ”
Xie Yuxuan's eyes fell on Luo Yingxue's stomach, and he seemed to be smiling, "What?" Your sister can dance for me, is the child in your belly more expensive than this palace? ”
Luo Yingxue looked at the Queen Mother sitting on it with some distress, but the Queen Mother avoided Luo Yingxue's sight by pouring wine.
Luo Yingxue's heart was half cold, but she didn't dare to argue anymore. But he made a compromise, "The princess doesn't know, the concubine is pregnant with the grandson of the Mingyang Palace, and the princess takes care of her tightly on weekdays, and she almost had a miscarriage a while ago." ”
"The princess received the wind banquet, she was supposed to perform, since my sister has danced, why don't you let the concubine perform a song with a zither? There are songs and dances, which can be regarded as fun. ”
Xie Yuxuan was about to speak again, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, "The mourning family hasn't heard Xue'er play the piano for a long time, Xue'er's piano skills are also top-notch in my dynasty, and Xue'er should listen to it well." ”
The Queen Mother spoke, Luo Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie Yuxuan had no choice but to follow the Queen Mother's wishes and let Luo Yingxue go backstage to change clothes.
When Luo Yingxue returned to the front hall, Luo Shuangyi looked at the clothes Luo Yingxue had chosen, drowned out a light smile by bowing her head, and then raised her head, it was as usual.
Luo Yingxue calmed down, her fingertips lightly, and played the first note, followed by a flurry of flowing music, ten fingers flew quickly on the piano, and the sound of the piano flowed down like a clear spring.
Luo Shuangyi's attention was not attracted by the sound of the piano at all, but looked at Luo Yingxue's cuffs that kept rubbing against the body of the piano because of the action of playing the piano.
Just when the Queen Mother was already immersed in Luo Yingxue's performance, suddenly an extremely abrupt note ruined the performance, followed by Luo Yingxue's panicked scream.
I only saw Luo Yingxue looking at her hands in disbelief with her hands open, and the slender jade hands that were originally like shallots were actually glowing with a strange blue and purple color at this time.
Luo Yingxue's tears fell down in big drops, and she couldn't say a word in horror. "Tai, Queen Mother......" She subconsciously looked in the direction of the Queen Mother, and before she could take two steps, she saw that the cuffs that were originally good and well-behaved suddenly ignited by herself, and the fire burned so fast that it was completely beyond Luo Yingxue's bearing.
"Ah!!h Luo Yingxue was frightened at this time, and subconsciously slapped the cuffs with both hands to extinguish the fire, but her fingers were already in serious pain, and as soon as she came into contact with the flames, she was forced, and her skin cracked.
The people in the Queen Mother's palace didn't expect such a change to happen, and their first reaction was to shout "escort" and then surround the Queen Mother and Xie Yuxuan, and no one remembered to take care of Luo Yingxue at all.
It was still Luo Shuangyi, seeing that Luo Yingxue seemed to have been scared stupidly, she shouted a few times to put out the fire, and only then did the palace maid think of it and run outside to fetch water.
Just when Luo Yingxue was almost collapsing, the water to extinguish the fire finally arrived, and she rushed forward with an arrow and poured the water basin on Luo Yingxue's hands.
This sudden fire was finally extinguished.
Luo Yingxue's previous fluttering appearance was gone, she sat on the ground, her hair was scattered behind her, dripping with water, the sleeves of her clothes had been burned, and the two arms that were exposed were red and black, full of burns and soot.
She sobbed and cried, painful and annoyed. When she looked up, she saw the dead who had come to visit her injuries, and she threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.
A farce came to an end at this time, the Queen Mother and Xie Yuxuan were protected by the palace maids, naturally not affected in the slightest, watching Luo Yingxue lose control of her emotions and cry in her arms like a beggar, Xie Yuxuan felt extremely obstructive and unlucky.
"This palace has a good reception banquet, Luo Yingxue, do you make it like this? Are you innocent and disgusting? Xie Yu was angry, and turned his face to the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother, today's reception banquet was made like this by Luo Yingxue, it can't go on, your mind is simmering, this farce is tired, I want to go back to the post station to rest first."
This fire is weird, the queen mother is also unlucky, she is already old, and she is frightened, at this time, Xie Yuxuan didn't bite Luo Yingxue to say the law, it was already very good, for Xie Yuxuan just wanted to go back to the post station, of course, there was nothing to disagree with.
"Yan'er is also frightened today, go back and have a good rest, another day, the mourning family will take you into the palace again."
Xie Yuxuan came down from the top position, passed by Luo Shuangyi, and didn't give a single glance, only dropped a sentence, "Hurry up and send me back to the post station!" When passing by the stage, he glanced at Luo Yingxue, who seemed to have stabilized her mood on the stage, and sighed without hesitation, "Bad luck." ”
Just when Luo Shuangyi was about to leave the Charity Palace with Xie Yuxuan, he suddenly heard Luo Yingxue behind him shout to him in a sharp and piercing voice.
"Luo Shuangyi! Stop! If you don't give me an explanation about this matter today, you don't want to leave! ”
