The heart-wrenching pain spread from her fingertips to her heart, and her fingers were almost numb.

His voice was full of coldness, and Yu Zhiyan, who was close to him, only trembled, and soon she regained her composure and only knelt down to thank her.

His voice immediately sounded, "Get up, how you dance, General Ben knows it, if you fish in troubled waters again, General Ben guarantees that your hands will never be able to hold chopsticks again." ”

That Mama Ren was beside the two of them, and she was stunned when she heard what you said, Rao is a shrewd person like her can't make a fuss, whether these two ancestors love or hate each other.

Yu Zhiyan returned to his place, and sure enough, the sound of bamboo sounded again.

I saw Yu Zhiyan's dancing posture, like a phoenix soaring and hovering on the ground, with a soft waist, a lotus step moving lightly, and the green silk scattered behind him moved with the wind, and all kinds of customs were on the eyebrows.

After the song, the women around her were stunned, but they were also very stunned, thinking that Yu Zhiyan could dance like this, why did she still pretend to be stupid and stupid.

Even Mama Ren was stunned.

Sure enough, Gu Jue went to reward the silver as he said, and gave the silver tickets to these women without hesitation, the most was Chu Xixi, and the worst was Yu Zhiyan, only a copper plate.

——————

It was late at night, and the lights were still brilliant here, shining like day, and men in brocade clothes shuttled among the pavilions, holding charming women in their arms.

"We're going to serve those men in the future." Yinniu pushed open the window, and then those disgusting voices came from all directions, "I accept my fate." ”

Yu Zhiyan bit her lip slightly, and hesitated for a long time about what she said in her heart, but she still didn't say it.

She could hear the desperation in her voice, but Yu Zhiyan couldn't even save herself, let alone another lonely woman.

"Do you know, that cold and beautiful will perform with us on stage tomorrow, I heard that she was abandoned by the king, and the prince has a new love, so she can only pick up guests."

Yu Zhiyan sighed, pointing out that others might as well earn a way out by themselves, men are the most unkind, and how can they ever take these women who are in the dust in their eyes.

She slept very unsteadily this night, she dreamed of the princess and the prince of Nan'an, their necks were full of blood, and there was a phoenix, she looked at her from a distance, like a cloud of empty mist.

She also heard the baby's crying in a trance, one by one, heartbreaking, like the screams she made when she threw the child to the ground that day.

When Yu Zhiyan woke up, it was already noon, and Yinniu had already brought the clothes of the two people, all of which were newly made, just so that their guests could give a good price tonight.

Soon night came, the lanterns outside were lit, today was more lively than ever, and today there was a new woman on the table, and people came just to see the beauty.

The most eye-catching thing is Chu Xixi, Jingzhong has depicted this ice-like beauty like a fairy, and many dignitaries and dignitaries came over today just to see the beauty.

And she, the former woman of the prince of Nan'an, is also spreading rumors in Beijing, although the limelight is not as good as Chu Xixi, but she is still well known.

Yu Zhiyan picked out a tassel from the jewelry box, and inserted it obliquely in the cloud temples, followed by a few simple bead flowers, and red plums were lit between the foreheads, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world.

She had just cleaned up, but when she saw Yinniu pushing the door in a hurry, she looked excited.

"Fold the smoke, General Gu is here." She happily came up and held Yu Zhiyan's hand tightly, "You are saved today." ”

Yu Zhiyan got up and straightened his clothes, and shook his head slowly, "He came to find that Chu Xi, he hates me to the bone now, and wishes I was tortured to death." ”

Yinniu turned around and closed the window tightly, walked to Yu Zhiyan's side, lowered her voice and said, "I have a way." ”

Yu Zhiyan was slightly stunned, and his eyes looked at him a little inexplicably.

But I saw Yinniu slowly take out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, "Put these things in Chu Xixi's fat powder, and soon her face will have a red rash, and then General Gu can only focus on you." ”

Yu Zhiyan's face changed suddenly, she didn't expect Yinniu to start calculating others.

She snatched the porcelain vase at once, slammed it to the ground, and asked in an almost terrible voice, "Who gave this thing to you?" ”

Yinniu was frightened by the anger on her face, and said tremblingly, "It was given to me by Hanmei, and she said it would help you." ”

"Can't you see such a clumsy plan?" Yu Zhiyan looked at her with hatred, "Ruined Chu Xixi's face, she is the one who benefits the most, and when Mama Ren investigates it, can the two of us have good fruits to eat?" ”

Yinniu suddenly realized, and asked with a pale face, "Why did she do this?" Is it because she wants to get rid of the two of you who stole her limelight? ”

"No, I'm just afraid that Gu Jue is her next target."

Soon there was a sound of gongs and drums upstairs from Jin Jiao, Yu Zhiyan and Yinniu packed up their clothes and went directly.

The other girls had already arrived, dressed up one by one, and they all tried their best to eat today.

After all, the girls here are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and no one wants to be the lowest person, so they are bullied here.

Behind the huge screen, there is a flowing veil to cover them, and the people outside can't see them, but they can vaguely see the situation outside.

I saw that the audience was already full, but it was Gu Jue who sat at the top.

Brocade clothes and jade belts, golden crowns and hair, face like jade, all the tables were full, only his table was empty and only himself, he slowly tasted the tea in the cup, cup by cup-

The first one to come to the stage was Han Mei, only to see that most of the fire on the candlestick had been extinguished, and the sound of silk and bamboo was faintly heard on the drowsy platform.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, but they saw a scantily clad woman slowly coming out of the veil.

Her bare feet were on the cold ground, her shoulders were draped with a layer of fine veil, her fair skin was faintly visible, and her lips were red and beautiful.

And what makes people even more imaginative is her skirt, and the jade legs loom under the tulle.

The foxy woman sometimes raises her wrist and lowers her eyebrows, sometimes she gently shus her hand, and the fan in her hand is closed and held, like a pen walking in the dragon painting Danqing, the jade sleeves are windy, elegant and vigorous. The sound of music is clear in the ears, the folding fan in the hand is like a wonderful pen like a silk string, turning, throwing, opening, closing, twisting, rounding, bending, flowing water like a dragon flying like a phoenix dancing.

Soon a few of her clothes were gone, and they fell lightly to the ground.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, she slowly walked towards Gu Jue.

She walked to Gu Jue's table, then picked up the wine jug with her thin white fingers, and then poured a glass of wine into the empty wine glass on the table with an extremely coquettish attitude.

Soon, her weak and boneless hand picked up the glass of wine, slowly sent it to Gu Jue's lips, and then rubbed her exposed body into his arms.

The corners of Gu Jue's lips hooked up a sneer, and he reached out and threw the glass of wine on the ground, and then his lips moved, "Get out." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhiyan clearly heard the contemptuous laughter of the women around him, and thought that this smart person like Hanmei would lose so completely today.

Yu Zhiyan was also stunned, Gu Jue liked this set the most, could it be that he really had true feelings for Chu Xixi.

In a trance, someone on the stage had already bidd, and the pale Han Mei stood in the middle of the stage, her eyes kept falling on Gu Jue, as if begging him to help her get out of the sea of suffering, but from beginning to end, Gu Jue never looked at her.

She was finally bought by a wealthy merchant for five hundred taels, and since she was listed, she has only served the king alone, and today her eyes no longer have the despair and fear of other women, only indifference.

Soon two more women were on the stage one after another, and then they were photographed.

Yu Zhiyan's gaze involuntarily fell on the people behind the screen, as if they were patrolling, but she didn't know what she was looking at.

Soon it was Yu Zhiyan's turn, and she slowly came out from behind the screen with her pipa in her arms.

Yu Zhiyan sat on the chair that had been prepared, and then played the pipa.

I saw her slender hands holding the spring and twisting lightly, gently holding the lonely phoenix, flying in a thousand dangers, and the sound of the green piano was as clear as the water of the spring river, as clear as the chrysanthemum of the nine autumns, the sound of the chrysanthemum was soft, and the fragrance of tea was faint, and the water trickled.

After playing the song, there were continuous cheers all around, one by one.

But only Yu Zhiyan knew that he vaguely made several mistakes, but these people were just laymen, where did they know this.

Her delicate hand injuries were full of beads of sweat, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Jue's body, would he be willing to save her today?

Soon, accompanied by the sound of gongs, people began to bid.

Yu Zhiyan looked at Gu Jue, but saw that he was just drinking tea with his head down, as if he was thinking about something, and a pair of black eyes looked straight at the enamel wine glass in his hand.

It wasn't until a pot-bellied man shouted eight hundred taels that Yu Zhiyan raised a pair of eyes to look.

There was no one in the house shouting for the price, and she must soon belong to some strange man tonight.

And at this moment, a clear and familiar voice came, "One thousand taels." ”

Yu Zhiyan raised her head and showed a smile that captivated the country and the city, and she looked at the people who came in a hurry, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Spending a lot of money can win the smile of this beauty, it is worth it.

Gu Jue's eyes finally withdrew from the wine glass, and he turned his head to look at the visitor, his eyes becoming more and more gloomy.

Yu Zhiyan saluted respectfully to the people in the distance, then hugged his pipa and slowly retreated to the back.

Soon it was Chu Xixi who went up, and I saw her dressed in a white dance dress, and there was only a budding white peony on her head. There is a little red lip on the powdered face, and the expression is still ashamed. The delicate place is like a pink peach petal, and the demeanor has a beautiful orchid posture.

At this time, the basket hanging on the beam of the house is slightly oblique, only to see the white Luoying spread out to the surroundings, in the rain of flowers, a beautiful girl in white clothes, like a hollow valley orchid dance, with her light and graceful, fluttering like a fairy dance, wide sleeves open and close to cover, but also set off her thousands of beautiful posture.

Everyone watched her graceful dancing in fascination, almost forgetting to breathe. The girl's eyes were so beautiful that everyone present had their hearts beating, and they all thought that she was looking at herself.

At the end of the dance, everyone was still in a dream, and before anyone could beat the gong, they heard someone shouting: "Three hundred taels." ”

Soon the voices came from all directions, but finally in a cold voice, they all closed their mouths.

Gu Jue said: "Two thousand taels." ”

All the men showed disappointed expressions on their faces, but no one dared to rob people with Gu Jue, and most of them couldn't take out so much silver.

——————

Laurel Pavilion, Chu Xixi had been standing there for half an hour, and those light eyes finally slowly observed the man in front of the table.

He became her first guest at a high price of two thousand taels, but nothing happened, he just said to paint a portrait of her.

She stood there, watching his thin lips pursed, the pen in his hand tracing on the paper, at first looking at her twice, but at last not at all.

Where is this painting for her, it is clearly her own scribbling.

I don't know how long it took, the wolf in his hand slowly paused, and then looked at the person on the paper, his face was blue with anger.

He then threw the pen on the table, gathered the painting in a ball, and then said with great displeasure, "I won't draw anymore." ”

Chu Xixi's plain face finally had a trace of inexplicability, where did such Gu Jue look like a murderous general, but like a child of a gentlemanly family.

The pitch-black ink was sprinkled on his brocade clothes, but he didn't know it.

Chu Xixi stepped forward, poured a cup of tea himself, and slowly delivered it to his hand, he took it, but the fingers of the two people touched together.

His hands were so cold, like a piece of ice.

She walked slowly to the window and was about to close it, when she heard his voice coming, "Don't close it." ”

As soon as Chu Xixi looked up, he happened to see a room in the attic not far away, which was Yu Zhiyan's room, the window was still open, and Yu Zhiyan's figure could be vaguely seen.

Gu Jue withdrew his gaze from a distance, and then casually took out the volume on the desk to take a look, it didn't matter, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes were a little erratic.

Chu Xixi saw the expression on his face clearly, and couldn't help but be a little curious, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look, but saw that it was the unsightly pictures.

This is a green building, and it's not strange to have such a thing.

Gu Jue hurriedly covered the volume, and then thought that he was really making a big fuss, and read it unhurriedly, only a few pages, and suddenly thought of something.

"Do you have this thing in all the houses?" Gu Jue frowned and asked.

Chu Xi was stunned for a moment, but he still said respectfully: "Maybe there are ones in every room here." ”

Gu Jue threw the scroll on the ground angrily, his eyes full of anger involuntarily looked at Yu Zhiyan's room, although she and Yun Peichang are cousins, but the two of them have grown up together since childhood, and he doesn't believe that the two of them have nothing.

Thinking so, his attendant who was guarding the door called in, and then muttered a few words, and the attendant was gone.

Yu Zhiyan removed the hairpin ring from his bun, and he looked at his cousin, holding back the tears in his eyes.

"I went back to Jiangnan, but I didn't expect such a big thing to happen to you." Yun Peichang's face was complicated, "If Yu'er hadn't gone to Jiangnan to tell me, I wouldn't have been able to come back today." ”

Yu Zhiyan's heart palpitated, if she came back a moment late, she was afraid that she didn't know what kind of situation she would fall into.

"I'll deliver a letter to the princess tomorrow and ask her to find a way to get you out." Because of the death of the first emperor, the matter between him and the princess was delayed for a few years, but after all, he was still the concubine set by the emperor.

When Yu Zhiyan heard this, most of the heart in his heart was also relaxed, and he immediately asked, "Do you know where Feng Huang went?" ”

"How did I know such a thing." His face was complicated, "It's as if he's evaporated from the world, and he doesn't know where he's hiding." ”

"What about my child?" Yu Zhiyan suddenly thought of Mo Shu, he was still so young, "There is news of him." ”

Yun Peichang saw that her face was full of tears, and her thin body was constantly trembling, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and hurriedly hugged her in his arms. Then he comforted softly, "They're all fine." ”

However, he felt a chill behind him, but saw a cold gaze coming down the window, he turned his head, but saw Gu Jue standing by the window, standing opposite and looking at them hugging each other.

Just then, a shout came from outside, "Go to the water, go to the water—"

Yu Zhiyan hurriedly came out of his arms, but saw that the flames had already burned on the screen window outside, and the red flame was burning the bamboo window.

Yun Peichang hurriedly pulled her out of the house, although the fire was big, but the two of them were fine.

It turned out that their room to the west was on fire, and their room was just implicated, but when the two of them rushed out of the fire, their bodies were already dirty.

Yu Zhiyan took a fairly clean handkerchief and wiped the ashes on his face, and when he was barely better, he reached out to wipe the ashes on Yun Peichang's body.

At this time, Mama Ren had already rushed here in a hurry, and she had been making amends to Yun Peichang, after all, they had spent a thousand taels of silver, but they almost lost their lives here.

She was ordering someone to rearrange the house for the two of them, and then bathed and changed clothes, when the living Hades came.

Standing next to Gu Jue was Chu Xixi, the two of them, one black and one white, were very compatible.

"Shower and change? I'm afraid that wherever Lord Yun goes, Huo will follow him. Gu Jue said coldly, "Today is not the day for Lord Yun to enter Beijing, even God has to clean you up." ”

Compared with the brightly dressed Gu Jue and Chu Xixi, Yu Zhiyan and his cousin looked very embarrassed.

Yun Peichang sneered, "It's not God who is cleaning me up, it's General Gu." It's just that you've been preventing me from returning to Beijing, so there must be some conspiracy. ”

Gu Jue didn't deny it, "General Yun should go back to the house, if Her Royal Highness the princess knows that her concubine stays in the Qinglou, the fire will definitely burn even more." ”

In a few words, seeing that Yu Zhiyan had already understood the general situation of the matter, he only scolded Gu Jue in his heart for being too despicable.

Although Yun Peichang is angry, he has no way to take Gu Jue, he heard on the way back to Beijing that now the emperor ignores the government and most things are handed over to Gu Jue, and now everyone in the court scolds him, who dares to offend her.

But Yun Peichang was still very annoyed, and when he thought that he had a difficult old love for his cousin, he had an idea in his heart.

He leaned over and kissed Yu Zhiyan's face, and then said in an extremely doting voice, "Don't worry, I'll get you out." ”

Such a picture of concubine affection is very common in the Qinglou, but this scene deeply stinged Gu Jue's eyes.

He knew that their cousin must have had some kind of adultery.

Yu Zhiyan was clear in her heart, she and her cousin had always only had a brother-sister relationship, and suddenly saw him a little stunned for a while, but in an instant, he understood.

She slowly wiped the dust from his face with the handkerchief in her hand, "I'll wait for you." ”

waited for the two of them to linger and feel sorry enough, but saw that Gu Jue had already left.

Gu Jue returned to the Laurel Tower, drank a pot of wine, and his face slowly regained his calmness, Chu Xixi just served quietly on the side, without saying a word.

It wasn't until the lights were dim and the outside gradually became quiet that Gu Jue raised his eyes and looked directly at her, "How about I get you out?" ”

Chu Xixi's deep eyes were still as flat as water, "What are the conditions for Lord General?" ”

Gu Jue sneered, "When the time comes, you will naturally know, I won't force you, I'll give you five days' work, you think about it." ”

After Gu Jue left, Chu Xixi slowly picked up the painting on the ground that was originally thrown by him, and she slowly unfolded it, but there was a vague look on her eyebrows.

——————

The emperor did not go to the morning court for three days, everyone thought that the emperor died of illness, and the emperor was sick under grief, only Gu Jue knew that this mediocre new monarch sang with beauties all day long in the harem.

He came to ask for a decree with a fold, but the queen was the first to look.

The queen's figure is plump, and her belly is slightly bulging, this is the emperor's first child, and the palace people are also serving very carefully, for fear that something will happen.

The queen opened the tea bowl and drank the tea slowly, "You can do the good things I explained, and people can find them." ”

Gu Jue's face was calm, "I found it, and I will be able to send it to the emperor soon." ”

Hearing this, the queen's face finally had a hint of joy, and then frowned and said: "The princess came to intercede for Yu Zhiyan, she can't see the emperor, so she has to let me ask you to intercede." I don't want to think about it, that woman has a grudge against me for killing my father, how can I let her go easily. ”

A sneer flashed in Gu Jue's eyes, "Why don't you ask the emperor to give her to me?" I think she's really happy in the green building. ”

The queen put down the cup in her hand and examined her brother's expression, "Okay, as long as you don't fall for her anymore, my sister will depend on you for everything." ”

After Gu Jue finished speaking, he got up and retreated, and when he passed the side hall, he happened to see the princess standing in front of the flowers in front of the door, and her face was very bad.

He walked up and saluted the princess respectfully, and then said, "I saw the concubine in the green building yesterday, and I think the princess is very indulgent to him. ”

The princess hurriedly said: "He went to see his cousin, I came to intercede, and asked General Gu to say something to the emperor." ”

"The princess is really generous, and her subordinates heard that he spent a thousand taels of silver to get his cousin, and they want to have a deep affection."
