Chapter 24: The Delicate Birdcage

I am also speechless about Chu Sleeve's character of coming and leaving.

I'm even more accustomed to her kind of shocking news that gives me every time she leaves.

So when she said that if I couldn't dance the Qiyue dance tomorrow, Duan Xuan would come to my Yuehua Palace, my heart was extremely calm.

After Chu Sleeve left, the first thing I did was to go out for a few laps first.

The palace is a gorgeous and delicate birdcage, not to mention that I have barely come out of the Moon Hall now, so am I not in a cage within a cage?

So when I walked from morning to evening, the dance of Qiyue had been neglected by me.

I think the only thing that makes me different from ordinary people is that I'm a little ghost, and I don't have any talent in other specialties.

I can't memorize and learn this dance, and I believe that even if I do dance this dance tomorrow, Duan Xuan will still come to me.

He couldn't have come to me in person just because I hadn't learned a dance.

The so-called broken jar is like me.

In such an evening, in such a deep palace, in such a place where darkness and scheming are hidden everywhere, I chose to climb a big tree by the Lotus Lake, and sat quietly on the tree, looking at the blood-like remnant sun that was about to fall in the distance, I fantasized.

If Chihiro hadn't met Duan Xuan at the beginning, she must have accompanied her father and mother in the afterglow of the sunset, and then spent her cardamom years in the noisy red dust.

She may meet someone who truly loves her, who respects each other and enjoys the trials that the years have brought together. But she was trapped in this deep palace.

What about me?

My beginning is in this deep palace, I yearn for the world outside the palace walls, but if one day I also fall in love with someone who is destined to be bound to the deep palace for the rest of my life like Chihiro, what should I do?

I sat on the tree, swaying my legs, sad in my heart, completely oblivious to the fact that there was already a man standing under the tree.

My legs were swaying, and the man under the tree was standing deep.

Originally, such a scene was quite harmonious and beautiful, but a small embroidered shoe flew out in a parabola with the swing of my calf, startling the big toad that was dozing off in the distance, and also made me find the paragraph Xuan standing on the wood.

Duan Xuan?!

The first reaction of a person when frightened is to bounce, so even if I am in a tree, it cannot stop my urge to bounce.

The big toad on the ground jumped to the lotus pond, and I jumped on the tree to Duan Xuan under the tree.

Just when I was still thinking about whether I would crush Duan Xuan to death if I jumped like this, his posture that had not moved for 10,000 years actually shifted silently.

So I went straight in front of him.

"Ahh

When I was lying on the ground, I raised my head with difficulty and looked at the pair of brocade satin shoes in front of me.

I sighed in my heart, worthy of being a rich man!

Then I buried my head in the ground and never lifted it again.

I didn't faint, I just twisted my neck.

It is estimated that Duan Xuan was frightened by such a dead body of me, he actually squatted down kindly, stretched out his middle finger, touched the artery in my neck, and then said without saltiness.

"I haven't come to you for a long time, it seems that you have gained a lot of weight."

“?”

Then he stood up and patted the hem of his shirt without hurrying.

"Look at this dirt, you have been crushed into a pit by Concubine Li."

“......”

My face was buried in the soil, and there were ten thousand grass and mud horses whistling past me in my heart.

Yes, I've gained a lot of weight, and I really regret why I didn't press straight on him just now, maybe I can still press his 10,000-year-old poisonous mouth tightly!

I struggled to get up with convulsions, ignoring my neck that couldn't be twisted yet, I first used my sleeve to wipe the dirt off my face, and then firmly held my neck, and said with some difficulty.

"I hope I haven't scared the emperor."

He didn't react to my words, but asked me how I was doing.

To be honest, I think today's Duan Xuan looks very different from the past.

Today, he does not have the defense and majesty of being a king, but there is a faint melancholy in the whole person, which makes people can't help but want to approach.

"The concubine is stupid and hasn't learned this dance yet."

Duan Xuan raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"The concubine's neck is twisted, it is estimated that she will not be able to learn to dance in the past few days, I hope the emperor will forgive her sins."

I said stiffly as I leaned around my neck, and frowned at the right time, twitching the corners of my mouth to show my pained expression.

However, he ignored my pain, just reached out and twisted my neck so hard that I heard the bone click, and then my screams continued.

I crouched on the ground with my neck clutched in pain, and he looked at me in pain, his eyes full of melancholy, but in the end he turned around and left.

When he left, he told me that if I couldn't learn this dance, I would never see him in my life.
