Chapter 68: A Dance in the City
It was already afternoon when I returned to my room, and Ruxue was reading a book in my room.
"Why do you seem to be in a bad mood? Did the Queen Mother train you? ”
I shook my head, sat down in front of the vanity mirror, opened the drawer, and the hibiscus hairpin lay in it peacefully, and the light flowed by, without feeling half blinded by dust.
"It's not because you saved me." His voice echoed in his ears again, "It's because you said you liked Fleur." Also, because it fits you well. ”
The fingertips brushed the petals of the hibiscus hairpin, and the glass was cold, just like people's hearts.
His eyes touched the scar on his wrist and slowly withdrew his hand, Liu Sujin, what are you thinking! You are strangers, and you don't owe each other for a long time, so why do you have to go and reminisce about the past over and over again......
Slowly take off your clothes, unfold your dance costume and put it on. The air was cold, and the bare skin shivered when it came into contact with the cold breath.
The long skirt is ankle-length, and the golden bells collide.
Remove the veil, lightly apply powder, carefully draw the eyebrows, dye the lips with cinnabar, close the eyes slightly, and open the eyes in an instant.
The bracelet on the wrist happens to reflect the jade bracelet.
The light and shadow are dappled and the ringtone is crisp.
The face is like a dream, the memory is like an illusion, as if everything is illusory.
Long hair poured down, combed sideways half-part, with a scarf decorated with precious stones, black hair lined with royal blue scarf, charming to the extreme.
I like Hibiscus because it is clean and unstained from the mud and dust, while I, on the contrary, always plan step by step, how to push others into the fire and make them doomed. I can't like it like Fleur, so I like it.
"There's one thing missing!" Ruxue said with a smile.
"What?"
She took a paintbrush from the table, poured out the blue paint, dipped the tip of the pen into it, and drew blue peonies one by one on my lower abdomen.
The peony is delicate and charming, catering to the charm of gorgeous clothes.
Ruxue brought me a woolen cloak and tied it for me, "Ready?" ”
"Hmm."
When we arrived at the main hall, the Yuanyao Dancing Lady had already finished dancing the rebound pipa, the red and yellow clothes on her body could only cover a little, and the ten thousand gold threads hung down and half-covered her body, and her white and even legs were the most eye-catching, with golden ribbons wrapped around them, and the ribbons disappeared with the breeze.
When she saw me, she was slightly sideways, evading her gaze, and her blue eyes were cold and indifferent.
"I think Liu Sujin will definitely not be able to win the Yuanyao National Dance Girl, but the people are rebounding pipa, besides, I see, Lian Wanyi may not be able to win, she? Forget it. ”
I followed the prestige, it was a noble lady, whispering in Su Rong's ear, as if to please her, Su Rong just smiled reservedly and did not answer.
A big drum was raised on the main hall, and the edge of the drum had been painted royal blue, and the crimson gauze was tied, which was brand new and very eye-catching.
Bei Yuliang is also well arranged, and this drum doesn't look like it was moved out of the utility room at all.
Dozens of well-dressed guards came in with small drums and half-crouched around the drums.
He took off his cloak and stepped on the drum, his eyes swept over, and the hall was silent.
"The dance of the drums is not difficult, Miss Jin made a mistake this time, right?" Prince Yuanyao smiled.
"Whether it is difficult or not cannot tell the winner or loser, the prince will know it at a glance."
"We'll know if it's a good one, we'll see."
The snare drum music is slightly percussed, the sound is getting louder and louder, turn around and step on the drum, and the rhythm follows the snare drum.
Hao's wrist turned slightly, the golden bell rang, the finger bones bent, and the flowers bloomed.
Jumping up, tiptoe to the ground, the skirt immediately unfolded upward, and the golden bell collided, which was pleasant and smart.
The sound of the snare drum weakens and the sound of the big drum increases, becoming more and more rapid as the movement becomes more and more urgent.
Lean back and bend down, your hands wander, changing from side to side, each in a posture. Jump back with your strength and stand firmly on the snare drum with both feet.
The guards stood up and stood in a row, ten drums side by side, just enough for their feet. Turning sharply, he jumped on the other drum with a dull sound to match the sound of the other drums.
Each drum turns, high and low up and down to create a formation.
Flip back over the drum, spread the skirt flat, cover the entire drum surface, converge the eyebrows, and smile on the lips.
got up, wrapped his right hand over his shoulder, and performed the unique etiquette of the Yuan Yao Kingdom.
Suddenly there was a whisper in the hall, and the voice gradually became louder, and the chaos became chaotic.
The prince of Yuanyao stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Allure music, allure dance, allure people." If I can see you, it can be regarded as if I didn't come to Beiyan in vain. ”
The discomfort in the center of the foot is getting heavier, and the shoes and socks are soaked with sticky liquid. Fingernails are buttoned into the palms of your hands, and only then can you feel better.
"Respected Emperor Beiyan, I have a small request that I don't know ......" he hunched slightly, the smile on his face was unfathomable.
I jumped off the drum, turned my ankle to the right, and the sharp pain spread from the soles of my feet to my calves, and finally I fell to the ground unsteadily.
"Blood...... There was blood on her feet. "Suddenly it became noisy, and when the voice became louder and louder, I pretended to be aggrieved and cried, but to be honest, it hurt, but not to cry.
When the imperial doctor came, the eunuchs moved me to the Xuanwu Palace, which was closest to the main hall.
Chen Weiyan took off his shoes, a sharp piece of broken porcelain penetrated deep into the center of his foot through the cotton socks, and the blood stained the blue embroidered bow shoes, he didn't dare to take off the socks for me, because the blood stuck the socks and the wound together, as long as it was gently pulled off, the wound would be affected.
"Your Majesty, your ......," Chen Weiyan hesitated.
"I'll come."
"I'm coming."
The two voices sounded at the same time, and Beiyu Jinchen glanced at Beiyu Liangyi, and then took a step back.
"I'll do it myself." I opened my socks in pain, and the beads of sweat on my forehead ran down the contours of my cheeks to my chin.
Just as he was about to take off his other sock, his hands were firmly grasped. "Why not? Why dance with it all the time. ”
His gray eyes contained a layer of moisture, and his voice was cold, but his eyes were gentle.
"Slave, when I found out that there was a problem with my shoes, I was already halfway through the dance and couldn't stop. The Queen Mother said, slave maid, behind her is Beiyan. ”
Bei Yuliang also pushed my hand away, cutting the socks little by little, he is the emperor, for a palace maid to do this, tomorrow, I will become a thorn in the side of the harem......
I couldn't help but bite the back of my hand in my mouth when I took the medicine, and the smell of blood filled my mouth, sweet and salty. The upper leg is just right, and now there is a new injury, this situation is comparable to that in Liufu.
Chen Weiyan cleaned up the mess and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty...... Miss Jin, I'm afraid I won't be able to dance anymore. Injuries to the meridians make it difficult to heal. ”
He fell to the ground, speaking slowly.
Bei Yuliang also hesitated for a moment, then nodded and remained silent.
"A beauty who can't dance is like a glass jade with missing corners, no matter how beautiful it is, something is missing after all." The prince of Yuanyao sighed and walked out of Xuanwu Palace with his head shaken.
I breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed, and everyone thought that I couldn't withstand the blow, and the regret was overflowing. Ruxue sat beside me, holding my hand, and the warmth seeped into the back of her hand while exerting force.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to report like snow." She suddenly fell to her knees.
Bei Yuliang was also a little surprised, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"These shoes were given to Su Jin by Mu Meiren, not to mention that Su Jin could no longer dance, if it weren't for Su Jin's resolute determination, he would fall down in the middle of the road, and it would be Beiyan's face that would be ruined!" Ruxue buckled his head three times on the ground, "Please let the emperor know what is going on." ”
I suddenly remembered Yinyue, the person I never dared to treat with sincerity, and never failed me in the end. It was precisely what I was willing to exchange with my sincerity that had lost me.
When Li Mingquan brought Mu Han up, she was carefully dressed, and the pink skirt embroidered with white moon season rippled in the dark night.
She smiled as brightly and beautifully as she did when I first saw her.
"You gave you the shoes?" Bei Yuliang didn't even look back at her.
"Yes, I gave the shoes, and I put the broken porcelain pieces, does the emperor have anything else to ask?
I didn't expect her to admit it, I thought she would leave her back and find a good replacement for the dead ghost, but she didn't, so I panicked a little.
"Does the emperor want to know why I did this? Because, just because I want to see you, because, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you don't come to see me, and you don't let me see you. She smiled, laughing out of tears, and her delicate peach blossom makeup was washed away by tears.
Bei Yuliang's drooping eyes finally slowly raised, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
"You said that I am different from the women in the harem, you said that you don't like the women in the harem to wear pink clothes, but I just didn't listen, you said that when you saw me, you would recall your youth." She finally stopped laughing, and cried as hard as she could, which seemed to be a little pitiful. "However, later I learned that I was just a shadow, a shadow of someone else, I really want to ask you, there are three thousand people in the harem, does your cold heart never shake anyone?"
"Presumptuous!" Li Mingquan shouted angrily, and Bei Yuliang also raised his hand to stop him.
"It's that I can't help you, but these things have nothing to do with Su Jin, and you shouldn't involve her." His voice exuded a feeling of exhaustion, hoarse and low.
Mu Han's gaze fell on me, and the tears were still flowing, but they were no longer exhausted. "Nothing to do with her? Oh, I accept your favor because of her, and it is because of her that you abandoned me, the person I play, or her ......"
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly coughed violently and fell to the ground with no strength. The skirt was dyed red with blood from the lower body, and the tender pink and dark red bloomed incomparably gorgeous flowers.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and even Mu Han couldn't help but be stunned, reaching out to touch her skirt and dyeing her hand with blood.
I glanced at Chen Weiyan, and he hurried over to check her pulse.
"Mumeiren's miscarriage has not healed ......"
"Miscarriage?"
Chen Weiyan turned around and bowed at the feet of Bei Yuliangyi, "Ask the emperor for forgiveness, Mu Meiren asked the minister for saffron half a month ago, and did not let the minister diagnose his pulse, it is the minister's dereliction of responsibility...... The sin deserves death. ”
A smile involuntarily overflowed on his lips, Chen Weiyan's acting was more realistic than mine, it was really difficult for him.
Mu Han pounced all of a sudden, "You deceive people, it's not like this, the emperor, it's not like this, the concubines don't know, they don't know ......"
"A slave deserves death...... Mu Meiren was two months pregnant, and she was afraid that her family would make this decision...... The slave maid also knew not long ago, and begged the emperor to spare his life! Her personal maid hugged Beiyu Liangyi's legs, and was pulled away by everyone.
He hadn't seen her for three months, she was pregnant for two months, and this kind of sin was even connected to the nine tribes.
The child is gone, and it hasn't been a few months, it's all up to Chen Weiyan's mouth.
Unclean people, the harem is the most intolerable.
Her hair was completely disheveled, disheveled, and messy.
Bei Yuliang also clenched his right hand, closed his eyes, and tried his best to forbear. "Get out, until I sympathize with you, get out."
Mu Han ran over and grabbed me like crazy, and I couldn't breathe for a while. "It's you! You're the one who hurt me! ”
Before everyone pulled her away, I whispered in her ear, "One life, one life." ”
Yinyue, I'm finally avenging you, have you seen it?
