Chapter 220: On Fire
With such a voice, even she herself was disgusted, not to mention those who listened.
"You!" The Queen Mother said helplessly, but she had no way to take Chu Xiaoxiang, so she said, "That's it, let's have a banquet."
The queen mother gave an order, and the palace maids served wine and food one after another, and the eunuchs came to pour them wine.
After the eunuch retired, it was the singing and dancing, and the dancers were all twisting their waists and dancing the classical dance, but this was a complete lullaby for one or two people from the present.
"Sleepy? Boring? "
Qiao Qian'er saw that Chu Xiaoxiang was also looking in the direction of her, moved her lips, and gave her silent words.
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded, and also replied to Qiao Qian'er's words.
"Shall we do something?" Qiao Qian'er moved her upper and lower lips again.
Chu Xiaoxiang's eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at Qiao Qian'er vigilantly and said, "What do you want to do?"
"We are all traversers, new things of traversers, shouldn't we offer them, otherwise it will be boring!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiang felt that he was going to get drunk.
However, it is also quite boring.
"You agree?" The corners of Qiao Qian'er's mouth rose.
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded.
"Which song should we pick?"
Suddenly, Qiao Qian'er's eyes lit up and said, "Or, do you like him?!"
Fancy him?!
This song is a confession song at all, and those who don't know think she wants to confess!
However, the confession is also good, but it is a little embarrassing.
Chu Xiaoxiang turned his head to look at Helian Chen, and seeing Helian Chen's handsome side face, Chu Xiaoxiang had to feel that she was really fascinated.
Qiao Qian'er had been paying attention to the change in the expression on Chu Xiaoxiang's face, knowing that she was shy when she peeked at Helian Chen, and that adoring look, she knew that she would not refuse this song.
So decided!
Qiao Qian'er stood up, she turned around and saluted Ji Ranyu, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave wants to present a song to the emperor."
The dancer stopped dancing, and the surroundings fell silent at the same time.
"Good!" Ji Ranyu said to Qiao Qian'er with a gentle smile, as if there were only two of them left around at this time, and they only saw each other in their eyes.
How can the change in the expression on Ji Ranyu's face hide from all the people, the people present can see it clearly, the starlight in the eyes of those concubines, and the hope of eagerness to try it are also shattered at this moment.
"Before the performance, I wanted someone to work with me."
"Who?" Ji Ranyu asked suspiciously.
"Your Highness the Princess." Saying that, Qiao Qian'er smiled and turned her head to look at Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned the next second when she heard Qiao Qian'er's words.
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiang didn't respond for a long time, Qiao Qian'er was also stunned, wouldn't this guy change his hexagram temporarily? !
After being stunned for a while, Chu Xiaoxiang finally reacted, she nodded blankly, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I use the guzheng to perform, what kind of musical instrument does Her Royal Highness know the princess?" Qiao Qian'er said.
"You perform with the guzheng, and the princess will dance."
As he spoke, Chu Xiaoxiang stood up and took a few steps to the right, and behind those officials there was a big musical instrument, composed of several iron bells, and the eunuch performing had two slender sticks in his hands.
"Lend me a stick in your hand." Chu Xiaoxiang smiled and said to the eunuch.
The eunuch nodded, and immediately handed over the two slender wooden sticks in his hand to Chu Xiaoxiang.
Chu Xiaoxiang took the wooden stick, turned around and walked towards the stage, stood on the stage and looked at Qiao Qian'er and said, "I'm ready."
Qiao Qian'er: "......"
Qiao Qian'er is a little blindfolded, she dances when she dances, why two wooden sticks?
Is it difficult to make nunchucks?
But that's not the case with nunchucks!
Qiao Qian'er was helpless, at this time, two palace maids came up on the stage, they each carried a guzheng and put it in the center of the stage, and another palace maid took a stool and put it behind the guzheng.
Qiao Qian'er walked onto the stage, sat on the stool, put her hands on the strings of the guzheng, and made all the mental preparations.
Qiao Qian'er's subordinates slowly plucked the strings, and the beautiful and pleasant music came out like this, and with the music, Chu Xiaoxiang waved two wooden sticks, and his handsome heroic posture appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as well as the beautiful singing.
Especially the lyrics, which made the listener's face turn red all of a sudden, and Helian Chen and Ji Ranyu, the two parties, were looking at them with a doting look at them at this moment.
After the song, the whole hall was in a quiet state, and everyone looked at them, although they all felt that the lyrics were a little too straightforward, but they were very nice and lovely.
There were bursts of applause, Qiao Qian'er looked at Chu Xiaoxiang with a smile, but Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes stayed on Helianchen, and when she saw Helianchen smiling at her, she also smiled.
The Queen Mother looked at Qiao Qian'er with a complicated expression, and I have to say that she also thinks this song is very good, and it is very suitable for confessing to her lover.
Chu Xiaoxiang, who was standing next to Qiao Qian'er, slowly approached Qiao Qian'er and whispered to Qiao Qian'er: "You changed the lyrics."
"No way, is there a 'phone' here, and it makes sense to change the lyrics a little bit and turn it into 'writing love letters'." Qiao Qian'er grinned, and she didn't know that she thought she was happy.
Actually, it's also happy, more because I changed the lyrics slightly and didn't ruin the song.
Returning to their respective positions, the singing and dancing continued, but the minds of those sitting at the top turned a thousand times, and no one knew what general calculations they had in their hearts?
After the palace banquet, Ji Ranyu and Qiao Qian'er left, and the Queen Mother left early because she was uncomfortable.
Those courtiers also left with their wives and children, and only the two of them were left in the huge hall.
"You don't want to leave?" Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Helian Chen with a smile.
"If you don't leave, do you want to stay here for the night?" Helian Chen asked rhetorically without answering.
"It's not impossible to stay here overnight, just go back to your mother's house once, there is still the princess's bedroom in the palace, don't be afraid." Chu Xiaoxiang said arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, my Highness Princess." Helian Chen said helplessly.
After Helian Chen finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his arm, and gestured with his eyes, "Let's go."
Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Helian Chen's cute movements, and immediately felt funny, but he also felt very cute.
"Yes, my colt."
Chu Xiaoxiang also learned Helian Chen's tone of speech, a serious way.
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
The two came to the carriage, got into the carriage before and after, and walked into the carriage, and the coachman sitting outside confirmed that Chu Xiaoxiang and Helianchen were seated, and the coachman waved the long whip in his hand, and the horse began to gallop on the road.
"Why did you stay in the main hall for so long, and wait until all the people dispersed before you left."
Regarding Helian Chen's good actions just now, it really made her puzzled, and she didn't understand why he did this?
"My Royal Highness the Princess is really smart, but now is not the time to discuss this." Helian Chen's eyes looked vigilantly at the coachman outside the door curtain and said.
Seeing his movements and expressions, Chu Xiaoxiang knew that he was wary of the coachman, but why should he be wary of the coachman? After all, she doesn't have a lot of people competing for favor, so there is no need to be so nervous.
Back at the princess's mansion, Helianchen directly stretched out his hand to pull Chu Xiaoxiang back to their bedroom, and before Helianchen closed the door, he told Qingtan not to let anyone in.
"What the hell is going on?" Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Helian Chen's series of actions with some puzzlement.
"Xiang'er, do you suspect that tonight's banquet is a little strange? Did we really guess wrong? None of what should have happened happened, and I have been in harmony for the rest of the night. "
Hearing Helian Chen, Chu Xiaoxiang hesitated, she didn't have no doubts, but she couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was thinking in her heart.
"I'm not sure what the queen mother thinks, it's really strange that the people who hate Qiao Qian'er so much didn't happen tonight!"
"Maybe tonight's banquet is just the beginning, and the next thing is the point?"
Helian Chen's words also made Chu Xiaoxiang think deeply, such a thing is not impossible to happen.
"It's useless for us to think about anything here now, we can only look at the situation, Chen, let's go to sleep, we're tired!"
"Okay!"
Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen had gradually fallen asleep, but the palace was a beautiful scene.
"Lang, what are we going to do next?"
"It's not time to ...... yet"
After doing all this, the man stood up and got dressed, paused as he walked to the door, turned to look at the woman lying on the bed, and said, "I don't understand why you want to deal with a woman like this, the more that woman makes your son not do his job, the better, you are good, and you have made repeated attacks, which makes me doubt your intentions."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The man left, but the woman lying on the bed was stunned, she always thought she was pretending to be very good, but because of this detail, she was suspected.
"Queen Mother, are you okay? Do you want the old slave to order the palace maid below to bring you a bowl of bird's nest to drink? "
A woman who looked like a grandmother walked over and said.
"It's okay, help the mourning family up."
The Queen Mother sat up slowly, she looked out the window, the moon was bright tonight, but her heart was very worried, not because of the man's words, but because of ......
She had a feeling that that person would be making a move recently, so what should she do?
The Queen Mother frowned, looking at the starlight in the sky, the moon sprinkled a circle of cold light and shadow, and in an instant, there was a burst of red light in the West Palace.
The smoke that was burning was all over the sky......
Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen were mixed in the crowd, and they were surprised to find that here in the palace, for some reason tonight, there was actually a fire.
The guards and maids in the surrounding palaces, some came with water scoops, some carried water basins, and some actually pushed water wheels, all towards the place full of red light, and rushed over.
Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, and in the next second, he was about to rush forward, but was suddenly stopped by Helian Chen.
"Princess, let's do it with me," Helian Chen said with a gentle and kind face.
