Time passed day after day, and these days, Xi Yan either stayed closed in the house, or occasionally went out to visit relatives and friends. And his father, Xi Yuanshan, the head of the Xi family, has never seen him.

After a half moon, in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Jing family's winter banquet.

These days, An Ruofei has been staying in the Shengge Workshop and staying at home. On the one hand, Jing Xian's visit that day made her feel uneasy; On the other hand, she felt that she was in the hands of someone else at all times. Want to escape? An Ruofei was sure that as long as she walked out of the gate of Chongdu, she would be captured or killed by the Jing family. Since that day, An Ruofei has never been to the backyard again.

An Ruofei couldn't help but wonder: she had never shown the real empty court dance taught by her aunt in front of people, how did Jing Xian know that the dance she danced alone in the courtyard was the real empty court dance? In this regard, An Ruofei has a lot of speculation, but he is not sure. She vaguely remembered that her aunt took her from Gusu to Chongdu in the past to find her aunt's younger sister Xu Jinse.

Xu Jinse and An Ruofei's aunt Xu Shengge were both famous in Gusu back then, but more than ten years ago, Xu Jinse disappeared inexplicably, and her aunt inquired in many ways and determined that Xu Jinse finally came to Chongdu City, and finally sold Gusu's property and came to Chongdu with An Ruofei.

An Ruofei thought: As soon as I came, my aunt and Xu Jinse would be in the same lineage, so Xu Jinse would naturally dance in the empty garden. Second, Xu Jinse, as a famous Gusu singer, must not be unknown after coming to Chongdu, maybe she just changed her name and surname, so her aunt did not find her, but Kongting Dance was able to go out.

At this point, An Ruofei's doubts in his heart have been solved, and the rest is only the faint worry about the Jing family's winter banquet in a few days.

These days, the city of Chongdu is still snowing, and there is a lot of snow on the roads, only the avenue leading from south to north to the imperial city remains clean and magnificent.

Before noon, a carriage stopped at the door of the Shengge Workshop, and two of the two who had followed Jing Xian that day entered the Shengge Workshop, one of them holding a box in his hand.

Before An Ruofei could speak, one of the taller ones said: "Master Anfang, the winter banquet is a big event in the Jing family. In this wooden box is a dance costume and a hairpin ring, and Childe said that the dance of the owner of the An Fang will look better when he wears this and jumps out, and he also asks the owner of the An Fang to do what the son said. ”

An Ruofei nodded in agreement, turned around and called Xiao Le Niang in the workshop, and ordered: "Show the two of you tea, and I'll go back to the room to change clothes." Xiao Leniang looked apprehensive, but still did what An Ruofei said.

After An Ruofei returned to the room, he opened the wooden box and found that it was a set of goose-yellow clothes, but this dress was not a dance dress at all, but a set of neatly styled regular clothes, the outer robe was embroidered with intricate moon-white dark lines, and the inner skirt was layered with layers of tulle, which was also intricately embroidered.

An Ruofei's heart was full of surprise and hesitation, but he still put on his robe. When An Ruofei began to wear the headdress, she felt surprised again, the headdress sent by Jing Xian was full of jewels and jade, far more than what was needed to dance. By the time she was fully dressed, it was already an hour later.

An Ruofei followed the two people sent by Jing Xian into the carriage, and when she walked through the lobby of Shenggefang, she found that the tea of the two was almost untouched. And Xiao Leniang, who originally wanted to follow An Ruofei, was stopped at the door by the two of them.

The carriage swayed all the way to the side door of Jing's house. An Ruofei was about to get out of the car, but saw that the curtain of the car was lifted from outside, and the next moment, Jing Xian got into the carriage. An Ruofei was taken aback and asked, "Why did Jing Gongzi jump into the car, didn't he already arrive at the side door of Jing's house?" ”

Jing Xian laughed "sigh", "My own car, why can't I come up?" ”

Only then did An Ruofei notice that the carriage she was sitting in just now was unusually gorgeous, and it really didn't look like it was used to pick her up a civilian.

As he spoke, the carriage slowly started again, and An Ruofei couldn't help asking, "Where is this going?" The Jing family has arrived. Jing Xian still tidied up his clothes, and only replied after a while: "Naturally, it is a place to go to the banquet." Miss An doesn't have to talk much, when it comes, you will naturally know. ”

An Ruofei knew that there would be no result if he asked again, so he simply kept silent.

After a long time, the carriage finally stopped. An Ruofei seemed to hear the sound of interrogation, but he couldn't really hear it. Soon, the carriage moved on.

It was very quiet outside, but Jing Xian suddenly spoke, "Miss An, push the window and look outside." An Ruofei turned his head and glanced at Jing Xian suspiciously, and then pushed open the window.

An Ruofei couldn't believe that he was taken to the palace by Jing Xian. I saw that the surrounding palaces were lined up, and they were solemn. Five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first floor, between the halls, there are double roads to connect.

An Ruofei closed the window and looked at Jing Xian with an inquiring eye, but Jing Xian suddenly put away a playful look, and said: "Miss An, tonight's banquet is a palace banquet, not a winter banquet for the Jing family." You have to know who your dance is watching. You also have to know that the person who brought you in is me, and you must know that tonight's dance is for the Jing family, and it is also for whether you can live or not. ”

An Ruofei calmed down for a moment, and then responded: "Since I have entered the palace, I know that my life and death can't help me. Jing Gongzi, please rest assured, Ruofei will dance with all his strength tonight. ”

When Jing Xian heard this, she couldn't help but praise her: "Miss An is really smart!" In this case, in the next few hours, please prepare well for Miss An. ”
