Chapter VIII

I have long heard that Bai Qingrui, the fourth lady of Baifu, is sharp and unforgiving, but today I saw it as expected. Just talk about this matter endlessly, even if I have eight mouths, I can't match one of hers, and I still can't finish talking. Later, it became more and more marginal.

She said unhurriedly, "When I heard that Mr. Su rushed up and stabbed my fourth uncle that day, I had inexplicable admiration for Mr. I thought she was a sturdy, rough woman, but when I saw it today, she was so thin, it was really impressive, and I wonder what kind of force made Mr. Su save his life that day."

I was a little apprehensive and said, "It's an instinctive reaction, nothing else, the situation at that time is too urgent for me to think about it."

Bai Qingrui seemed to be a little disbelieving, and said, "Mo Fei, Mr. Su is my fourth uncle。。。。。 ”

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Bai Xiaoqiu, only to hear him cough, "Qingrui hasn't been home for so long, I'm afraid I'm overjoyed today."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Mu hurriedly ordered: "Take the fourth lady down to sober up."

Chu Lianwei, who was sitting beside Bai Xiaoqiu, was absentmindedly dull for a night, and was finally awakened at this moment. I glanced at her, and I saw that she was glaring at me as well.

I saw that she immediately stood up from the stool, raised her hands to Emperor Jin and the Queen Mother, and bowed slightly, "Holy Lord, Queen Mother, I heard that this Mr. Su is knowledgeable, not only good at playing the piano and painting, but also outstanding in dancing skills, why not let Mr. Dance a song on the spot today, so that we can all feast our eyes."

The high-ranking Emperor Jin nodded at me and said, "Okay, then let Mr. Su dance for us."

The saint spoke, Chrysostom and Yuyan, the respect of the Ninety-Five, who dares to refute.

Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "What kind of dance does Mr. Su want to do, I'll go find the palm music."

Chu Lianwei hurriedly said, "Plum Blossom Drink".

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Mu exclaimed, and Bai Zhanqi on the side darkened his face even more, and shouted, "In front of the saint, dare to make a mistake."

Frightened, Chu Lianwei fell to her knees with a puff, and Bai Xiaoqiu, who was implicated, also knelt down with a puff.

Originally, this "Plum Blossom Drink" was nothing, this dance music was adapted from a folk ballad, which roughly means that the husband fell in love with a little girl next door and abandoned his wife. The wife of this knotted hair was drunk all day long, and she used wine to dispel her sorrows. Once, she got drunk and danced in front of her husband with plum blossoms in her hand, which saved her husband's heart.

Everyone knows that the current holy adoptive mother, the Empress Dowager Bai, was valued by the emperor and named a concubine because she danced the tune of "Plum Blossom Drink".

At this time, I was in a dilemma, my heart was turbulent, mixed tastes, and I thought clearly. If I don't dance today, I will resist and disobey the decree, and if I can't be convicted, it is very likely that the saint will be unhappy and cut off my head. If I don't dance well, I feel that I am mediocre and incompetent, and I am a fool of people by talking nonsense on weekdays, not to mention that I am still a literate gentleman recognized by Mrs. Mu, which will also make her lose face in front of everyone. If the dance is good, everyone laughs, and I am afraid that someone will fan the flames behind my back in the future, saying that I am comparable to the current Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother lost. Then I will be even more guilty, and I can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

If you have to dance anyway, then dance, in fact, I don't worry about dancing skills. Everyone says that the men of Jizhou sing all over the world, the women of Jizhou dance all over the world, and our sons and daughters of Jizhou are good at singing and dancing since childhood. When I was a child, I often practiced dancing with my mother, and it is no exaggeration to say that in our Jizhou area, my dancing skills are also among the best.

He jumped into the center of the hall, and the sound of music sounded in his ears. The hall was silent, and everyone held their breath and stared at me.

After dancing for a while, I felt that something was wrong, I always couldn't feel the tune, the tune was sometimes high, sometimes low, I didn't listen to the call with my feet like a clown jumping beam, only jumped in the center of the hall, causing everyone to laugh hard, and I was nervous.

Suddenly there was a melodious piano sound behind him, gentle and smooth, like a trickle of stream, with a little sadness, quiet and elegant.

I thought to myself that this person is simply a talent, and the tone has been changed by him in this way, which is more suitable for me, which is really a match made in heaven. A spin danced along. A Xuanyi flutters in the wind, and three thousand green silks pour down, sometimes raising their wrists and lowering their eyebrows, sometimes white cranes shining their wings, and lightly soothing their hands. When he pushed his hand, he saw Bai Xiaoqiu sitting at the main entrance of the hall, her white and slender fingertips gently stirring back and forth on the strings, calm and leisurely.

After a while, I heard the ethereal sound of a distant flute, which was gracefully turned and listened to, like a clear spring. Bai Yan Leng was dressed in ink-splashed flowing water in green clothes, and the treasure purple hairpin was peculiar, and the charm slowly entered behind me.

The sound of the piano was lingering, and the dancing posture was many, and then a group of girls also came from afar, dancing with me, and with the sound of the piano gradually ending, I stood on the ground with my waist on my back and posed as a big person.

Emperor Jin led the way and clapped for me. Win a round of applause.

Emperor Jin beckoned to me, and I quickly knelt up with a tom of tom. He commanded, "Keep your head up."

I slowly raised my head and looked up at the face of this supreme heavenly son, and my heart was inexplicably excited.

Although Emperor Jin has reached the age of antiquity, he has always carried the majesty of the gods and the noble temperament of the whole person, and the whole person sits on the chair and immediately has a domineering spirit that intimidates the world. He looked at me with flickering eyes, as if smiling, and said angrily, "You are the chivalrous girl who once caused a sensation in the entire capital, Su Feifei."

I hurriedly prostrated on the ground and said, "In Xia, Su Feifei will ask the saint for peace."

Emperor Jin always had an uncertain expression on his face, and I guess that all emperors were like this, in order not to let people easily grasp their temperament and guess their minds.

Emperor Jin continued, "On that day, you were seriously injured, your life was hanging by a thread, and the young general of the cavalry knelt in the Jinyun Palace, and he had to borrow the imperial doctor in my palace to use it, but I didn't borrow it, so he took out the sword I admired and put it on his neck. I have rarely seen a young general so arrogant, and he dared to threaten me for your sake that day."

I was so frightened that I slammed my head on the ground, and said earnestly, "Su Feifei deserves to die."

The Jin Emperor suddenly laughed and said, "You save him with your life, he threatens me to save you, and he is angry and blushing, this is the bloody spirit that a man should have."

I took the opportunity to hurriedly say "the military and the people are in love with each other, unite as a family."

Emperor Jin slapped the table and said loudly, "Well said, reward".

After thanking the Lord Longen, I quickly retreated, only to find that my back unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

Squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiaoqiu next to him, and saw that he was hanging his head, looking like he had something on his mind.

Although I never knew when Bai Xiaoqiu started to stroke the qin, but tonight he relieved me, and just after listening to Emperor Jin's words, his mind suddenly flashed back to what he and Chu Lianwei had done to me, and there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and he silently lowered his head and looked at his Fenxiu brocade shoes.

After the dance, you can hear the sound of beating outside the courtyard wall, Emperor Jin stood up with the queen mother, and all the people in the house got up and drove up, and the eunuch who had been guarding the door for a long time held a whisk, raised his hand, and said loudly, "There is an order from the saint, drive back to the palace."

Because I slept late, I got up late the next day, and after I finished grooming, I saw the fourth lady Bai Qingrui with a white face, and ran into my room in a panic, and said breathlessly, "Mr. Su, Ju, Ju'er, she pounced on the pond."

I threw away the triple comb in my hand and ran towards the pond where Ju'er had fallen into the water.

When I arrived, the pond and bridge piers were full of people, and Bai Xiaoqiu squatted on the edge of the pond and looked at me with a heavy look when he saw me coming.

I opened my mouth and looked at him but couldn't say a word, my heart hurt and wanted to cry, but I held back my tears. My body trembled, but fortunately, Bai Yan next to me coldly hugged me.

Some guards were inspecting the scene, scouring around for clues.

Ju'er was wearing yesterday's pink daffodils and green leaf dress, brown light pants, with the back of her head facing up and her face down, floating in the water, wearing shoes on only one foot, and the shoes on the other foot were gone.

Bai Zhanqi ordered someone to find a piece of cloth to cover Ju'er, and asked him to deal with the person quickly, the weather was hot for fear of smelling, and ordered the guards guarding the door to strengthen their guards, take turns to work shifts, and not slack off for a moment.

I hurriedly stepped forward, took off the shoes on my feet and put them on Ju'er, and said to Bai Zhanqi, "General, Ju'er is the girl assigned to me by Mrs. Mu, I want to hand her over to Azu and let him deal with it."

Bai Zhanqi agreed very happily.

Afterwards, Bai Zhanqi also summoned some people in the mansion for interrogation, and everyone said that Ju'er threw herself into the pond, so the general hastily accepted the case, and said lightly, "This matter has been decided so far, no matter who it is, don't discuss this matter in the future, once it is discovered, it will be severely punished."

General Bai's Mansion, although it is strictly managed, rarely happens out of the ordinary, which is related to the majesty of the country and the safety of the people.

Once something really happens, it may not be as big or small, especially the lives of these subordinates, who have long been like grass mustard, endless things, and humble as ants.

But Ju'er, she is such a beautiful girl, she once asked me to be her sister, she said that she especially wanted to have a learned and reasonable sister like me, and once blushed and asked me to help her match with Azu.

Standing in front of the pomegranate tree in the yard, I remembered what Ju'er had said about waiting to eat pomegranates next year, and my tears flowed out. Bai Xiaoqiu hugged me from behind and comforted me, "People can't be resurrected after death, you still don't have to be too sad."

As soon as I turned around, I vented all my grievances and unhappiness on him at once, and yelled at him, "Isn't the servant girl raised by her mother, is the servant girl born cheap, Bai Xiaoqiu, I don't think you are a good thing, and the people in your Baifu are not a good thing." Before I could vent my pleasure, my lips were clamped by Bai Xiaoqiu fiercely, and he sucked hard, and the urgency of the force made me feel the pain of falling.

I pounded his chest, his face, and his head, and he didn't fight back, just shutting my lips.
