Chapter 8: The Merchant Girl
Shen Yu and Shen Yin's hearts were about to jump out. No one has ever dared to grab something to eat with Donggong.
Just a few people, it is impossible to die.
"Second sister...... Take back the jade! Hurry up and kneel down and plead guilty! Shen Yu was in a hurry and secretly drank to Hua Er.
"Please! Please! Only then can it be possible! Shen Yin also secretly winked.
Hua Er's eyes flashed. Pretending not to hear, he was about to quietly take back the jade book, but when he saw another pair of jade books on the shelf, he took it back first.
Shen Yu and Shen Yin were a little confused.
Did Donggong remove his chopsticks by himself?
Is this letting the people go?
Shen Yu and Shen Yin's gaze swirled between Hua Er and Zhao Xixing.
Hua Er didn't dare to touch the chestnut cake again. Maybe Donggong likes to eat this, and if she gives her the guts, she won't dare to snatch it from him.
So the meal was extremely depressing. Silent and silent, the days are like years.
Finally, Zhao Xixing stopped chopsticks. Everyone also hurriedly stopped chopsticks. Immediately, a maid came up and removed the dishes, and the side dishes were all moved, except for the same.
Chestnut cake.
None of them have been touched.
Hua Eryi was stunned.
She didn't move, didn't dare, didn't Zhao Xixing move, didn't she think she loved to eat, so let her?
And if this is the case, the Shen family brothers and sisters will not dare to move.
Hua Er didn't dare to guess more. After using the maple dew tea served by the maid, he cleaned his mouth and still sat with his head bowed.
Suddenly, a gust of evening breeze passed, Shen Yin shuddered, and Shen Yu immediately got up with concern: "Sister, be careful of getting cold!" It's late at night, I'll help you go back first? Your Highness, what do you see? ”
Zhao Xixing also glanced at Shen Yin, his eyes softened slightly: "It's okay." You send Ah Yin back to the house first. ”
"Yes, the minister retired." Shen Yu clenched his fists, carefully helped Shen Yin up, and then knelt down and resigned.
Zhao Xixing and Hua Er were left in the water pavilion. Sitting next to each other, the air is stagnant.
After a long time, Hua Er finally heard a sentence beside him: "You...... Called Flower Two? ”
The man's voice was like a bubbling cold spring, gurgling through the night.
"Back to Your Highness, yes, the people's girl Hua Er." Hua Eryan stood up and replied in a regular manner.
Zhao Xixing nodded slightly: "You...... I only moved to Anyuan Town three years ago, and those three years ago...... Where are you? ”
"The people's daughter is lowly and lives in the mountains."
"That'...... What do you do? ”
"Folk Girl...... The folk girl is a dancing girl, and Bojun on the Qinhuai River smiled...... This livelihood is low, forgive the people for the inconvenience of saying more, if it pollutes His Royal Highness's ears, it is not a pity for the people to die. ”
The words were leaky, and the possibility of asking for details was cut off.
Zhao Xixing raised his eyebrows, staring at Hua Er's gaze, heavily, but the woman always lowered her head and eyes, her expression was tame, and she couldn't see the slightest abnormality.
"Maidome? Okay, the temple ordered you to sing and dance, now. ”
The man's words, word by word, soaked in the cold.
The fingertips of Hua Er, hidden in his coat, curled slightly. However, in an instant, she raised her eyes again, and her expression was no longer half of the waves.
"The people's girls are ugly."
Flower two long sleeves and a Shu, the shadow moved to the pavilion, the blue Luo skirt pavilion lifted, the willow waist danced in the moonlight, step by step the lotus stepped on the Feiyan, fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon, attracting the surrounding maids to praise and see the fascination.
Hua Er was in a trance.
……
In the past, because of her identity, although she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, no one had the courage to let her dance.
Except for one person.
The only one.
She danced to show him.
At that time, his body was not very good, and he was always curled up on the couch, and his pale face tried to smile softly.
"The flowers dance so beautifully."
……
Hua Eryi was in a trance, but unconsciously, he sang the song in his memory.
“…… Where, smoke and rain, Sui embankment spring twilight, willow-colored onion cage. Painting the golden wisps, the green flag is high and fragrant, and the water melts ......"
The blue skirt is like a heavenly girl, the country is like a hibiscus open, dancing low willow building heart moon, singing the peach blossom fan bottom wind.
Zhao Xixing looked at the woman quietly, and the night suddenly swelled in his eyes.
“…… Qing'e Palace's feet are charming, in the light clouds, and they are about flower prostitutes. Jiangdu Palace, Qinghuai Moon Reflection Maze, Ancient and Modern Sorrowful ......"
After the dance, the afterimage is intoxicating, and the song is over, and the aftermath lingers.
Hua Er was the last to spin and threw out his long sleeves, but suddenly, Zhao Xixing stretched out his hand violently and grabbed the sleeve.
Flower two stumbled. Surprised.
The two of them were separated by five steps, and they confronted each other silently, pulling a piece of blue water sleeve in the middle, and the air was a little weirdly stagnant.
Hua Er subconsciously pulled it, and found that Zhao Xixing's strength was not great, but he couldn't resist it, and dragged the water sleeve to death.
I only heard the man open his mouth quietly-
“…… The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flower ...... in the backyard across the river"
The tone was too cold, and it froze from the bones to make people dazed.
Time and the past were shattered at that moment, and unbearable memories came in a clamour.
It took a moment for him to realize what he had done.
She actually sang the song he wrote.
And the heart-pounding words that Zhao Xixing said had a cold and piercing meaning.
Hua Er chuckled in his heart.
I didn't dare to breathe loudly every day, trying my best to erase my traces in the world, but now I put the knife on my neck?
And Zhao Xixing also stared at Hua Er tightly, his eyes were like eagle falcons, bottomless.
At the last moment, Shen Yu sent Shen Yin back, and when he saw the two people frozen in the water pavilion, he was stunned: "Your Highness? ”
Zhao Xixing suddenly let go.
The force retreated, the water sleeve fell to the ground, and Hua Er almost planted it backwards.
Fortunately, Shen Yu supported her in time and whispered with concern: "But it's upsetting the East Palace?" It's okay, I'm here. ”
Zhao Xixing glanced at Shen Yu, looked at Da Er deeply, didn't say anything, and walked away.
"Your Highness? Greetings to Your Highness! ”
Everyone was busy kneeling down, looking at each other, for some reason, Donggong seemed to be a little displeased.
"What the hell is going on? The second sister is not afraid, although she told me that the sky is falling, and I will hold the master. Shen Yu looked Hua Er up and down to confirm that there was no injury, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Er shook his head: "It's okay." By the way, didn't you invite me to this night banquet? Why will the East Palace also come? ”
Shen Yu was also puzzled: "I don't know, master, I only invited you." Maybe Donggong heard about it, and for some reason, he came to the door by himself. ”
Hua Er nodded, and shook her head again, she couldn't understand Donggong anymore, but she had no intention of entangling with him anymore.
Then he said goodbye to Shen Yu and went out of the Hou Mansion, and the evening breeze in Shengjing blew down, and it took Hua Er's brain to calm down.
The monstrous fear came up like an afterthought.
When I touched the shirt on my back, I was soaked in cold sweat.
The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river.
The surviving merchant girl is the most painful person.
May 10. Queen's birthday.
The saint held a family banquet in Chuxiu Palace to celebrate the queen's birthday.
In the evening of this day, the light moon and the stars surround Jianzhang, and the fairy wind blows down the incense of the imperial furnace. The courtiers stand in the Tongming Palace, and a red cloud holds the Jade Emperor.
The inside and outside of the palace are replaced with the queen's favorite peony pattern, the bowl of big night pearls reflect the glazed palace lamp, the sheng flute silk bamboo into the clouds, the sound of congratulations does not night sky.
Because it was a family banquet, there was only a big case of golden silk nanmu in the hall, and the prince and the emperor sat according to their generations, all of them were dressed in brocade and fresh, and they were full of smiles.
The saint wore a silk and gold embroidered dragon home-style shirt, wore a crown of silk and wings, and sat at the top.
