Chapter 21: Scarred
Since I rushed into Duan Xuan on impulse that night, he has never come to me again, so that some maids in the palace gossip behind my back that I have fallen out of favor.
At this time, some other more discerning maids will answer, she has never been favored.
I don't care about the gossip of the maids, but the dissatisfaction of the cooks breaks my heart!
When Duan Xuan left that day, the dishes were actually not finished, because I also asked the cook to prepare a lot of desserts.
So I guess what Duan Xuan saw when he walked out of my back room was a table of snacks and fruits.
According to the analysis of Duan Xuan's character, he will generally turn a blind eye.
But that day, I was so angry that he kicked the whole table over.
The news spread to the ears of the cooks, and they were terrified for fear of losing their heads.
Later, I found out that the reason why Duan Xuan kicked over the table was because of me, so the cooks held a grudge and made my daily meals clear soup and little water, and I had no appetite at all.
I have also asked the maid to go to the kitchen many times to hold him accountable, but the cooks said well, all the delicacies of the mountains and seas were practiced by me that night, which is equivalent to a year's food for me, so now I can still have clear soup and little water.
I strongly protest this.
Under the collective abuse of the palace cooks, I was very haggard.
This made the maids in the palace gossip even more, saying that I was sickly because of lovesickness and was getting haggard day by day.
I was also deeply drunk.
Just as I was pondering how to go to Duan Xuan again every day, his personal eunuch found me.
It turned out that the palace would welcome the ministers of the Western Regions who came in a few days, and the people in the Western Regions were all blue-eyed, so they should be very interested in my purple eyes, and Duan Xuan wanted me to dance to welcome the envoys.
Dance?
I'm a concubine to dance?
I think it's ridiculous, even if Duan Xuan doesn't love Concubine Li, he won't let her be entertained like this.
Then the eunuch explained, I don't jump as a concubine, I will wear a veil, and leave the stage after jumping.
Concubine Li was born in a commoner and had no talent, so if she wanted to dance in front of the people of the Western Regions, who were already amazing in dance, it would take a lot of effort.
Duan Xuan has even found a woman who is proficient in dancing and asked me to train from now on, and I can quickly train in five days.
When I heard about the five-day course, I knew that this dance practice would be very difficult, but the truth was always more cruel than I thought.
......
"Let's start with flexibility."
The person who spoke is my current dance teacher, petite, handsome, seemingly moving, but in fact femme fatale.
My name is Chu Sleeve.
Concubine Li is not a little girl of a few years old, and she has never learned dance since she was a child, so this muscle and bone must not be able to stretch out in a day or two, but now she actually wants me to split?!
I tried my best to get the best I could, but my legs still didn't touch the ground.
Just when I couldn't get down or get up, Chu Sleeve actually supported my shoulders with both hands and pressed me down.
Intense pain came from the base of my thighs, and the tightness in my legs made my toes tighten unconsciously.
It hurts!
I tried to shout, but every time I tried to stop her, she stepped up, and I was once again speechless in pain.
She pressed me like this until my legs were unconscious, and then she suddenly grabbed my shoulders and pushed my entire upper body to one side, and one of her feet stepped on my leg, immobilizing my lower body.
"Ahh
I screamed in pain, and the tearing sensation on my lower back made me feel painful.
"How can I say that I am also the emperor's concubine, how can you be a dancer like this to me!"
I yelled at her, hoarse and awkward.
She paused, then quickly let go of my grip, and then stood aside with a nonchalant expression.
"The original words that the emperor commanded me were to let me teach a purple-eyed girl to dance within five days, and let me teach you in the way of admonishing apprentices, and he did not tell me that you were his concubine."
By the time she let go, I was completely on the ground, my legs hurting as if I had been crushed ten thousand times.
I curled up on the ground in pain, tears streaming down my eyes and into my bun.
She glanced at me lying on the ground and said.
"Today is not within those five days, so you go back and have a good rest, and we will practice again tomorrow."
I didn't have the energy to pay attention to what she said, she looked at me and turned away, and when she took two steps, she turned sideways to me and said.
"Let you rest not because you are Concubine Li, but because I sympathize with you."
After saying this, she left, and I lay alone on the ground and endured the pain, thinking about the meaning of her words.
Thinking about it, I fainted from the pain, and before I fainted, I suddenly thought of the lyrics.
A delicate seven-trick heart, it is not a pity to fall into the yellow spring.
