Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Dance Makes the King's Heart
"Concubine, Emperor! I put all the courtiers and distant guests aside and carried you back, and put you above your family and country, do you want to be so alienated from me? Mu Chundu's eyes were bloody, and there was already a slight anger between his words.
Seeing him angry at himself, Ai Qing only felt that the bridge of his nose was sore, and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "How dare Qin'er be that bewitching person who brings disaster to the country!?" The emperor should go, Qin'er's head is already very heavy, and he can't bear such a big hat. ”
Mu Chun looked at her with his eyebrows twisted, nodded, and ordered outside the door: "Ah Qi, take care of your young lady, take off the phoenix crown on her head." ”
"Yes" Ah Qi hurriedly ran in, and even though she was standing outside the door, she could vaguely hear a little!
"If you're tired, just rest well," Mu Qingju left a sentence and turned around and walked out.
Ai Qing stood in place without words or expression, the words "took off her phoenix crown" have been lingering in her heart, she is not rare at all, she just wants the identity of his wife! But what does he mean by that? Don't want her?
"Little ...... Queen Mother, what's wrong with you and the emperor? Ah Qi stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Aqi, help me pick all the hairpins on my head! The title of this queen is too heavy, and I can't breathe a little! Ai Qing walked to the dressing table and sat down in despair, looking at the red eyes in the mirror and the tears on her face, at this moment she hoped that Xu Feifei and Yang Xue could come out, so that she could hide in her body and be quietly sad.
"Yes" Ah Qi didn't dare to ask more questions when she saw that her face was not good, and took off the beaded hairpin jewelry on her head little by little.
Looking at the long hair like a waterfall hanging down to the back of her head, Ai Qing suddenly remembered what the Queen Mother said in the morning, the long hair was in the heart, and Chu Yin's knee-length long hair was not as black and soft as hers, but it was swaying behind her and making people unforgettable.
"Miss, Aqi's mother once said that you can't be too careful about the past, otherwise you won't be happy. Everyone has a past, doesn't the emperor care about your affairs with the crown prince? And when the young lady quarreled with the emperor at this time, she deliberately pushed him to someone else. ”
Push to someone else? She doesn't want to! But as far as they are concerned, they are clearly the latecomers.
"Aki, did you think it was really their child?" Ai Qing asked word by word the words that were stuck in her throat, without any expression on her face.
Ah Qi didn't know if the child was the emperor's, but Ah Qi saw it every day, and the emperor's heart belonged to the young lady. No matter how that person is also a person from the past, the emperor did not hesitate for a moment, and left the king of Pilan and the courtiers and came back with the young lady, this affection Miss couldn't see it, but she was in a hurry to drive him away. Rong Aqi dared to say that Miss sometimes takes herself too seriously, doesn't this cheapen others, wronged herself, and hurts the prince's heart? ”
Ah Qi's voice became smaller and smaller, but Ai Qing listened to it word by word.
She was right, she didn't know what had happened to them before, but at the moment she couldn't afford to lose without a fight. If you want to be a gentleman's heart, how can you have enough long hair!
Ai Qing pondered for a long time, raised her bright eyes slightly, and commanded with a restrained expression: "Aqi, you go and tell the girl to prepare some hot water for me to wash my face, and then go to the cabinet to bring my white dress with red plums." ”
"Yes," Aqi replied happily. There must be no shortage of maids in this palace, and it is naturally not her turn to carry water and sprinkle such a thing, so she went out and took a dress out of the cabinet after giving a command.
This dress is Ai Qing's favorite set, although it is not as luxurious as the queen's uniform, it is beautiful and gentle. In the past, she didn't want to be too whitewashed, although she liked this dress, she only tried it on once, and then put some plum blossoms dried in the winter and smoked it, and now she changed it, and her hair fell down, and she was even stunned.
"Little ...... Miss" Ah Qi looked at the fairy lady in front of her, her eyes widened.
"Aki, thank you, you are so young but you can always wake me up." Ai Qing said and sat back in front of the dressing table: "Comb me with an ordinary bun, I don't need these beads, only the hairpin sent by the Queen Mother." ”
"Yes" Although Ah Qi didn't know why her young lady wanted to do this, she didn't ask anything more when she saw that there was some charm between her eyebrows, and only combed her hair in a beautiful bun with her heart.
------
The palace banquet was almost over, and several ministers were already slightly drunk. Mu Chun raised his wine glass, but the wine in the glass always showed Ai Qing's shadow, which made his whole heart fly out.
Chu Yin sat next to Mrs. Chu, her eyes were cast on Mu Chunju's body without any disguise, and the young man next to her tugged at her clothes intentionally or unintentionally.
"Queen Mother, when can we go back?"
"Mu'er, in the future, Chiyun will be your home, and the one above will be your father." Chu Yin stroked the young man's childish cheeks and whispered, "Don't mention it again in the future." ”
"This is not Mu'er's home, my father's name is Gu Ziwei, not him."
"Shh
Chu Yin saw that his son was about to stretch out his hand to point at Mu Chun, so he hurriedly stopped him. At this time, Aqi walked in from outside the hall.
"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor."
"Aqi? Percolate...... Where's your mother? Mu Chun was distracted, and when he saw Ah Qi coming in, he hurriedly asked, lest something happened to Ai Qing.
"Back to the emperor, the queen mother remembered that there were distinguished guests in the palace, and specially prepared a dance music to present." After Ah Qi finished speaking, he stepped aside, and the sound of dancing music immediately sounded.
Ai Qing moved the lotus step and walked abruptly, suddenly like the water sleeves danced lightly, the red plums on the skirt were fluttering, as if there were countless red petals volleying down in the air, swaying and swaying, one petal, holding a wisp of plum blossom fragrance, into the limbs of the human body.
Mu Chun sat there, she had seen her dance, but she was stunned by the graceful figure in front of her. Gu Sichen and the ministers were even more obsessed, and there was an indescribable shock between their eyebrows. Chu Yin's body trembled obviously, but he quickly returned to normal.
Ai Qing eyebrows and eyes, this dance seems to burst out naturally from the depths of the soul of the general fit, as the music expeditious, her posture also dances faster and faster, such as jade's plain hands linger tactfully, skirts fluttering, a pair of affectionate and distant eyes on Mu Chundu's face flowing, red lips smile, streamers flying, the whole person is like a flower through the fog, hazy and ethereal, people want to write in the palm of their hands, lest she dance and dance will dissipate in the wind.
The music stopped, the banquet was surprisingly quiet, and Ai Qing slowly stepped forward and blessed her body: "The concubine is ugly." ”
"The queen's dance posture enters the immortal and descends to earth, and I am afraid that I can't find the second one when I search the world, how can I say that I am ugly?" Gu Sichen came back to his senses from his stunnedness, and drank the wine that had been hanging in the air for a long time in one gulp.
Mu Chun took Ai Qing into his arms in a domineering manner, glanced at the obsessive courtier, and whispered in her ear: "In the future, this dance is only allowed for me to see." ”
Ai Qing looked at him obviously jealous, sat down with him, and said, "You are the emperor now, and you want to call yourself me." ”
"Qin'er and I only have you and me, and there is no such thing as 'I' and 'concubine'." Mu Chun looked at the little woman who was still wearing pear blossoms and rain two hours ago and was carefully dressed up to dance, and shook her head, knowing her grievances, and knowing that she must still mind in her heart, but those things must be understood before she can explain them to her.
"I don't want the queen's dancing to be so outstanding, but I lose my mind to King Pilan." Chu Yin naturally could see Gu Sichen's affection for Ai Qing, and deliberately said this obviously to provoke trouble.
Ai Qing couldn't see this person's character, and when he heard this, he instantly divided good and evil, and just wanted to open his mouth but heard General Zhou, who was sitting on the side, speak, General Zhou at this time had already been named a general, and Mu Chun decided to pass him into the table.
"The queen's dancing posture is pouring over all beings, but I don't want Princess Heng not to appreciate the dancing, but staring at King Pilan's gaze, why is this?"
General Zhou's words made Chu Yin's face red and white for a while, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only endure it.
Looking at Chu Yin's strange expression, Ai Qing smiled gratefully at General Zhou Yingying, turned her head and asked Mu Chun in a low voice: "She's not Gu Sichen's concubine?" ”
"Well, Chu Yin is married to Gu Ziwei, the prince of Pilanheng, that is, Gu Sichen's royal brother."
Didn't General Zhou say that she admired her brother-in-law! No wonder her face was so strange. Thinking about these and thinking of her sinister intentions just now, Ai Qing couldn't help but turn her head and sigh.
