Xiao Tao's reputation is thunderous like a firecracker in winter, almost a little bit, a double swallow dance a few times a day, less than half a month, already known to everyone in the capital. First, there are no newcomers in Huayuefang recently, and I am used to the usual singing and dancing. There is nothing new, Xiao Tao's face dance just fills the vacancy; And more importantly, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Jinling want to see what the official prostitutes who have been given four grades by the emperor are like. Official prostitutes are not rare, but they may not be able to get a reward from the emperor for a few years, which can be regarded as a rarity among official prostitutes. So now that Xiao Taoken is starring in Huayuefang, naturally everyone flocks to see it. In addition, Xiao Tao has stayed in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know how many people have arranged how many romantic histories.

Honggu took advantage of this excitement and simply rearranged the style of Huayuefang. Needless to say, the peach garden where Xiao Tao lives has changed its cold appearance before, and now it has added a few rough girls and a few close attendants. Not to mention the furniture and utensils, even the potted trees in the yard have all been replaced with new ones.

The front hall of Huayuefang is all arranged in peach tones, and a lot of scenes are added. It's all for dancing with Peach. And the location of the front hall is also marked with different prices according to the distance from the platform. The best location. Twenty taels of silver for a table. Even so, someone has already decided in advance.

After a long time, someone asked the price of Honggu Xiaopeach to go to spring. It's not fun to watch in Huayuefang, and the guests are invited to sing at home, if you can invite the popular dancing girl home, that's the face. Some people even paid a high price of thousands of taels of silver. Not only that, but some people asked what the price of the guest who made a small peach was the entrance to the curtain. If it can be wrapped up for a long time, it will be more identical. Honggu knew that Xiao Tao must be disgusted with this kind of request, so she didn't dare to ask, but just shirked it.

But after a long time, I couldn't get the silver from the white flowers. Honggu's heart was inevitably itchy, and she asked Xiao Tao: "Peach girl, in fact, it is not a bad thing to go to the house for spring." More money to make—"

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Tao had already interrupted coldly: "Does Honggu think I am willing to go to the front hall to dance?" If I'm burdened by fame, why don't I never go on stage again? ”

One sentence scared Honggu into losing her temper anymore.

Qi Zhengxiu also heard it in his ears, but he never looked at it. The statement couldn't help but drag him and said, "Your peach girl is a great character now, you can take me to see it quickly." Qi Zhengxiu didn't refuse, he also wanted to see Xiao Tao's dancing skills now. Is it really as magical as the legend suggests?

The statement set a good location on the first floor in advance, very close to the stage, and pulled Xu Kai again, and went to Huayuefang to wait without waiting. Looking at the light of his eyes, Xu Kai shook his head and said: "I think you still don't have too much hope, a big reputation doesn't necessarily mean a good dance, and the peach girl is more attractive from the title of the fourth grade." Xu Kai still can't forget the way Xiao Tao almost fell off the plate and climbed back hard, and he still can't help but laugh when he thinks about it. He didn't think he could make much progress in a year or two. Upper Earth Jumboum.

The statement glared at Xu Kai: "Did you slap me in the face or Zijie's face?" ”

Xu Kai laughed: "You didn't see it at the beginning, even if Zijie didn't see it, he heard the laughter in the room." "Xu Kai won't turn around when he speaks.

The statement pouted: "Then I'll bet with you again, fifty taels of silver?" ”

"Bet on it." Xu Kai still refused to admit defeat.

It is the time when Xiao Tao appears every day. Before I heard the beating of the drums, the lights and candles around had dimmed, and more than a dozen dancing girls floated out of the stage, each with a silk yarn in their hands, pulling it up like a blue water wave, undulating. Glittering. For some reason, Qi Zhengxiu suddenly remembered the stream in Yunwan Village. Although he once forgot.

After a while, the light gradually became stronger, and the curtain in the middle of the stage was removed, revealing a nine-story lotus platform, which was in the shape of a boat at the bottom, and the higher it went, the smaller it became, like a clear lotus gradually rising. There was an amazement below, such a high platform, like a fairyland that opened to the sky. At the same time, everyone is also looking for where the little peach will appear from.

At this time, suddenly from the center of the lotus flower at the top, he slowly stood up and showed his face. A slight smile bloomed on Xu Kai's face, just like at the beginning, Xiao Tao stood on the stage in advance. Xu Kai deliberately paid attention to Xiao Tao's feet, huh? The feet are not wrapped again, and they are not as small as they used to be.

The music sounded, and the little peach danced on the lotus platform, her posture was weak, and she was like a fairy. Although there are no mistakes, there is nothing exciting about them. The singer's voice also sounded, "Idle dreams are far away, and the south is spring." The orchestra on the ship is on the river, and the city is full of light dust. Busy killing flower watchers. ”

The statement was stunned: "King Wu's words, is this specially sung for us?" At that time, the first prince Li Hongji was deceased, and the sixth prince Li Congjia was named King Wu and entered the East Palace. Although he has not yet been crowned the crown prince, everyone knows that it will be sooner or later for Li Congjia to be the prince, or even the emperor.

Xu Kai smiled: "Affectionate! King Wu's words are widely circulated, why is it just for us to sing? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Tao had already floated off the platform, and when she arrived at the bottom of the boat, there was a lot of applause, Xu Kai stopped talking and couldn't stop nodding: "It's not a small growth." ”

Xiao Tao was dancing on the boat, her posture was changing very quickly at the moment, and the silk yarn on her body was dancing back and forth, so fast that people couldn't tell whether it was a person dancing, or a lotus flower out of the water swaying in the wind, and it was swaying very stylishly. With the rapidity of the music, Xiao Tao danced faster and faster, and suddenly jumped up in the air, so high nine-story platform, Xiao Tao only tiptoed on each layer, and easily jumped on the top layer of the lotus, and then the action gradually slowed down, and finally shrunk up, becoming a budding bud.

After a while, everyone seemed to come back to their senses, and the applause was thunderous, almost overturning Huayuefang. Xu Kai came back after a long time: "I've never seen such a dance, it's not that the dance is graceful, but there is a feeling - it's hard to get out after seeing it." ”

The statement slapped his face and smiled: "Lost the bet, do you accept it?" ”

"Serve!" Xu Kai shook his head, he really couldn't regard tonight's girl and the girl who almost fell off the plate as one person.

Qi Zhengxiu's gaze was still drifting on the stage, his heart was shocked, he had never seen a person dance with such a charm as Xiao Tao, every step made his heart flutter. In the past, Xiao Tao was delicate and weak in his eyes, but today, it blooms beautifully. That dazzling brilliance is so beautiful that it palpitates.

Xiao Tao came down from the stage, but did not return to the backstage as usual, but walked directly to Qi Zhengxiu's table, and bent his knees slightly to the three of them: "The three adults are here." ”

The statement pulled Xiao Tao to sit down: "It's also polite." However, your dance really didn't live up to your reputation in Jinling. ”

Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu, with a hint of helplessness in her eyebrows: "Fame is used to survive, but it is also a burden." ”

The statement laughed loudly: "The words are also crepe." The four of them chatted for a long time, and the singers and dancers of Huayuefang usually did not accompany the wine, because there were special drinking prostitutes who would accompany the wine at each table. And especially Xiao Tao, who is usually cold and glamorous, has been chatting with Qi Zhengxiu for so long today, and many people can't help but be curious.

More than an hour passed, and Xu Kai was leaving, Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu and said, "I don't know if Gongzi can follow me to Taoyuan for a while?" ”

The statement squeezed his eyes and pushed Qi Zhengxiu: "Go quickly." After speaking, he and Xu Kai got up and saluted Xiao Tao and strode over.

Qi Zhengxiu didn't refuse, smiled at Xiao Tao, and followed Xiao Tao through the entire front hall in front of everyone, and went around into the peach garden in the backyard.

After entering the house, Xiao Tao instructed Xiuju, "Pour tea for Lord Qi." Xiuju left in response.

Only Qi Zhengxiu and Xiao Tao were left in the room, Xiao Tao's expression was a little tired, she turned around and took off the heavy pearl hairpin on her head, and wiped off the thick fat and bright powder on her face, and just about to turn around, Qi Zhengxiu gently picked up Xiao Tao from behind, and his voice was very warm: "Tonight, you are very beautiful." ”

Xiao Tao's body was a little stiff, Qi Zhengxiu's breathing tickled a little in her ears, and Xiao Tao's voice trembled slightly: "Childe, let's talk." I haven't seen my son for a long time, and I want to catch up on the past. ”

"Reminiscing?" Qi Zhengxiu let go of Xiao Tao, turned Xiao Tao's body around, looked down at her and said softly, "Why the old days?" Didn't you invite me into Taoyuan in front of so many people tonight, didn't you invite me to be a guest of the curtain? Qi Zhengxiu's voice was very soft, but every sentence was like revealing a little peach.

Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu, pulled the corners of her lips and said with a wry smile: "Childe is the most delicate and sensitive in the world, and Xiao Tao is really an axe." But Xiao Tao's difficulty, who will you find if you don't look for a son? ”

Qi Zhengxiu looked at the smart woman in front of him, and suddenly felt a little sad. He once thought that if she became as smart as He Zhitang, maybe she wouldn't be hurt. But now that she seems to have grown a lot overnight, he misses her even more. People are always so contradictory. Qi Zhengxiu raised his hand and stroked Xiao Tao's face, and smiled faintly: "At least you're looking for me." After that, he sat down on the bed, "I'm a little tired tonight, so I'll rest first." Take care of yourself. ”

Xiao Tao smiled gratefully at Qi Zhengxiu, carefully served Qi Zhengxiu took off his robe, put down the curtain on the bed, extinguished the light and candle and went out slowly.

Xiao Tao ordered all the servant girls to go out and slept in the outer room by herself. There are many officials who covet her, and it is impossible for her to refuse all the time on her own. Only by finding a strong arm and being your own guest in the curtain can you break the thoughts of other men. After the crown prince went, the six princes were in the East Palace, and Qi Zhengxiu became the person of the six princes for some reason, which is a well-known thing in the Manchu Dynasty. Now, although Qi Zhengxiu is idle in the court, no one dares to disrespect him.
