Zhou Jiamin sent the palace maid to call Xiao Tao to her palace the next day. Zhou Jiamin is the sister of the former Empress Zhou Ehuang and has been living in the palace in recent years. Although Li Yu did not give her a clear name, her relationship with Li Yu has long been an open secret. Although Zhou Jiamin is not a concubine, she has more weight in everyone's hearts than ordinary concubines.

Xiao Tao has also seen Zhou Jiamin from afar, although he is not as graceful as Zhou Ehuang. But it is also delicate and beautiful, and it has a breathtaking taste. And Zhou Jiamin has also heard of Xiao Tao, a dancing girl who dances very well, and is on par with the Lady of the Kiln. But she never took Xiao Tao to heart, just as she didn't take Lady to heart. These women have no skills, they come from humble and lowly backgrounds, and they are nothing more than pastimes for others. Zhou Jiamin was used to seeing them for a long time, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

From the palace, there was news that Li Yu favored Xiao Tao, and she just laughed, until the lady told her that Xiao Tao also made up a song of neon clothes and feathers, and when she was curious to go and see it, she saw Li Yu's obsession with her own eyes, and her heart could no longer be calm. Li Yu has never been resistant to beautiful things. What's more, it is a person who deliberately imitates her sister Zhou Ehuang, that dance step, that posture, are all her sister's movements in the past. This is terrible, this woman is very scheming, and she knows that imitating Zhou Ehuang can really enter Li Yu's heart. Zhou Jiamin can't wait to meet Xiao Tao.

But when Xiao Tao stood in front of Zhou Jiamin, Zhou Jiamin's stomach couldn't get out of the fire. Xiao Tao is dressed in a light blue dress, like a lotus standing quietly after the rain. is not glamorous, the hair is loose and pulled, and the whole person is covered with a layer of light fat powder, although the eyebrows are low, but the demeanor is not shocked. Plain but sure. This temperament. It's not like the usual little family. Zhou Jiamin suppressed the stuffiness in his chest, looked at Xiao Tao and said, "I heard a long time ago that you dance very well." ”

Xiao Tao bent her knees slightly and smiled indifferently: "The girl has won the award." Word of mouth, most of them are exaggerated. ”

Zhou Jiamin was bounced back by Xiao Tao's soft fist, thought about it and said, "I heard that you also made up a song of neon clothes and feathers?" She thought that Xiao Tao must be humble and say yes, then she could ask her how she stole the dance of the first queen, and a reprimand could relieve the anger in her heart.

Xiao Tao gently raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Jiamin, sure enough, she was more gorgeous than she looked at from a distance, and she was young. Even if you want to train people, the fire in your eyebrows and eyes is like a blooming rose. After all, she was young, and when she ran out of Yunwan Village, she was older than her. Xiao Tao replied with a smile: "I didn't make it up." His Majesty misses the first queen and wants to see the song of neon clothes and feathers, so he ordered me to make up a set, but the first queen is a character like Yaochi Sendai, how can I learn it? I had to ask people who had seen the first queen dance one by one, ask for advice one by one, learn the dance steps and movements commonly used by the first queen, and knead the movements together according to the score. So it's not me who made it up, it's just that I was ordered to sort out the movements and dance steps of the former queen. ”

Xiao Tao's words were so clear that he generously admitted that he was imitating, and buttoned the hat of "Fengzhi", Zhou Jiamin couldn't say anything for a while. After holding it for a long time, he half-pouted and said, "It's hard for you to put so much thought into it." Then he asked, "What other dance are you going to imitate the former queen?" ”

Xiao Tao bowed to her knees: "Back to the girl, imitating the first queen is to do it by order." If His Majesty has no will, Xiao Tao will not dare to imitate any dance. After a pause, Xiao Tao said, "What's more, Xiao Tao's qualifications are far worse than the first queen, and imitating the first queen is even more effective." "The Liver Cloth Number.

Zhou Jiamin always felt a sting in his heart when he heard Zhou Ehuang's name, and couldn't help but say: "My sister is noble, and her gestures are everyone's demeanor, how can ordinary people learn it?" What's more, he is still a person in the workshop. Speaking of the people in the workshop, Zhou Jiamin's tone was with a hint of contempt.

Xiao Tao smiled slightly: "No matter what your background is, you are all gathered in this palace." Different paths lead to the same end, the noble is also covered by tiles in the palace, and the humble is also the same roof. Just like Xiao Tao was originally humble, but now she is talking to the girl in a room, and she is still face to face. If you want to go back to the teaching workshop outside the palace, it's difficult. Xiao Tao's eyebrows were raised, looking defiant. In particular, the pronunciation of the word "girl" is emphasized.

Zhou Jiamin really couldn't hold back his breath, and his whole body trembled slightly. Yes, no matter how proud she is in the palace, she is still just a girl, and even an official prostitute dares to be arrogant in front of her. Zhou Jiamin stared at Xiao Tao tightly, looked at Xiao Tao for a long time and sneered: "Since you want to go back to the teaching workshop outside the palace, I can't let you down." ”

Xiao Tao smiled lightly: "Then Xiao Tao will wait for the girl to give me good news." After saying that, Ying Ying said goodbye to Zhou Jiamin, walked out of the dormitory, and let go of the hand that had been clenched tightly.

There is often a movement of people in the workshop, except for those who have earned a prestigious position, the rest of the people are sometimes transferred to places such as Huayuefang, and sometimes to buildings set up in various state capitals. And people from other places have also been transferred to the palace. Zhou Jiamin paid attention to these mobilizations, and sent someone to call the head of the palace to give a combination of grace and power, and in less than a month, he mixed Xiao Tao with the official prostitutes who were to be sent to Nanchang Mansion and sent out of the palace. If you want to send it, you can send it far away, out of sight and out of mind. Zhou Jiamin, who stayed in Huayuefang, was not at ease.

When Xiao Tao was sent out, Li Yu was preparing to sacrifice to the sky on the outskirts of Jinling City, and left the palace for more than ten days. The lady was so anxious that she wanted to cry out again, but seeing Xiao Tao's calm and calm look, she couldn't help but be angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do. The lady begged Zhou Jiamin many times in private, but Zhou Jiamin only said coldly: "She asked for herself." Who can do what? "I went to see him again, but Zhou Jiamin had closed the door and refused to see him again.

The lady prepared a lot of clothes and dry food for Xiao Tao, and she was still full of reluctance: "I don't know how long it will take to see you." ”

Xiao Tao hugged the lady tightly, helplessly empty: "This is my life." I always want to escape from the church, I always don't want to be an official prostitute, but I have no way to go except this road. "The days in the palace are leisurely and leisurely, but the price of her leisurely and leisurely may be that Qi Gongzi is facing bloody storms. She could only continue to escape.

From Jinling to Nanchang Mansion, the road is long. The companions are all low-class official prostitutes in the workshop, and only Xiao Tao is considered to have some status. Although no one knew that she was the popular dancing girl of Huayuefang in the past, and she was given a four-grade fish bag, everyone heard rumors that she was a woman who was favored by the emperor and offended Miss Jiamin, so she ended up like this. Naturally, she was curious about her along the way, and the Ming Dynasty was ironic, and Xiao Tao didn't care.

The carriage travels during the day and rests at the inn at night. This was the case for several days, but one night I arrived in the town where the inn was located, and it was particularly lively. Xiao Tao couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage and asked the guards escorting outside: "Where is this, so lively?" ”

The guard replied: "This is called Anyuan Town, which is the junction of the Three Kingdoms, with the Tang Dynasty in the west, Wuyue in the east, and the Great Song Dynasty in the north, so there are many people coming and going." ”

Hearing the words Da Song, Xiao Tao was a little distracted, and the raised curtain was not lowered for a long time.

Qian Hongyu, the king of Wuyue, built a pagoda, which was completed last month, and invited the master's relics to be worshipped. Li Yu is still a Buddha, and in the morning, he specially sent a statement and others to Wu Yue to prepare gifts and give ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures. Zhao Kuangyin was not interested in the pagoda, but he was very interested in Wu Yue's current situation, and he happened to take this opportunity to send envoys to Wu Yue with national gifts to join in the fun.

Zhao Guangyi was also interested in Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin did not send him to envoy Wu Yue, so Zhao Guangyi had to go from light to darkness and rush to Wu Yue after the envoys.

When I arrived in Anyuan Town, it was already dusk, and I looked at a few carriages across the street, the curtain of one of them was open, and a light powder quickly crossed it, Zhao Guangyi didn't know why, his heart suddenly jumped up, and he couldn't help but look at those carriages a few more times, but the curtain that was open just now was put down at the moment.

Zhao Guangyi asked the attendants who followed: "Who are those?" ”

The attendant looked at it carefully and replied: "The military uniform of the guards should be from the Southern Tang Dynasty." It's hard to say what it is, maybe it's the family members of the official family. If it is important, I will go and investigate. ”

The two words of Nantang made Zhao Guangyi's brows frown, and then said, "No need." After a pause, he said, "The sun is about to set, hurry up." Rest in the next town. Then he beat his horse and galloped forward, kicking up dust all the way.

The curtain of Xiao Tao's carriage was blown open by this gust of wind, and he couldn't help poking his head out, only the dusty horses' hooves, and a few backs in the sunset, Xiao Tao's heart beat fast for no reason, and he wanted to see more clearly, but the back became a silhouette in the backlight of the sunset, Xiao Tao looked at the front one, his heart almost jumped out, and the blood veins in his whole body were accelerated, almost breaking out of his skin. But the horse galloped too fast and soon disappeared.

Xiao Tao lowered the curtain and shook her head. Where is the coincidence? It must be dazzling.

When Li Yu came back from the sacrifice to the sky, Xiao Tao had already arrived in Nanchang Mansion. Li Yu was furious when he found out, he couldn't imagine that in his palace, he could still let Xiao Tao go. But it was Zhou Jiamin who issued this order, and he couldn't be scolded. He had already made all the precautions in the capital before he left, and once Qi Zhengxiu came back, or Qi Zhengxiu's comrades wanted to rescue Xiao Tao, he would deal with it. But he missed a little, a woman's heart.

Zhou Jiamin cried and cried to him, and counted the little peaches in the rain, so he couldn't lose his temper, so he had to hook his lips and smile bitterly. At this time, if you go to Nanchang Mansion and pick up Xiao Tao again, it will be too abnormal, and it will cause unnecessary trouble and suspicion. Li Yu thought about it, and secretly ordered twenty Qingyu guards to rush to Nanchang Mansion immediately, staring at Xiao Tao's every move, and telling him immediately if there was any abnormal movement. Perhaps, Xiao Tao is in Nanchang Mansion, and there will be an unexpected harvest. machine
