I didn't sleep well that night, so I got up early the next day and asked Qiu An to make up for me.

Qiu An asked me tentatively: "The princess might as well lie down for another day, and then talk about it when the injury is healed." ”

I took out a bronze mirror and put it on the table in my makeup, and saw from the mirror that Qiu An had a snake bun for me, simple but dignified.

Sister Bai Rong used to like to comb her hair in the water palace, so as to live up to her beauty. But when I saw her recently, her head was covered with fallen buns, and in addition to the color of the city, the whole person became more and more generous.

I picked out another hairpin and handed it to Qiu An and asked her to help me plug it in.

The hairpin looks rough, simple and unremarkable, and the whole body is gray, so it naturally won't attract the attention of others. But if someone wants to stir up trouble with this, they can't find any fault.

Qiu An saw at a glance that although this jade was inconspicuous, it was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but smile.

I replied to Qiu'an: "I'll go out, so as not to be honest, and besides, I don't worry about Bai Rong, you can help me decorate something valuable, I want to thank Wu Beihan and the guard." ”

Qiu An knew that I was determined to go out, so he nodded, and only said "Yes!"

I said so many reasons that she didn't have any doubts.

When I cleaned up, I saw that Sister Bai Rong took Pinghui and entered the small courtyard of my west room by a female official who looked like she was not in a low position.

I looked at Bai Rong suspiciously, and she also seemed to have something to say, but the female officer was in front and motioned for me to talk later.

The female official saluted me and said respectfully: "Princess Qiyu, today at noon, the Emperor will come to Hesui Palace to hold a banquet and invite the twelve spirit girls. ”

I looked at the white face, and she nodded at me.

The female officer glanced at me, and I knew that she hadn't finished speaking, and her face was indifferent, and she didn't make any response.

Sure enough, she continued: "Emperor Pingyu ordered the twelve spirit girls to prepare their talents and show their demeanor in front of the human emperor, and I hope that the two princesses will practice well." ”

I looked at Qiu An, Qiu An understood, took out a piece of jade and handed it to the female official.

A different color appeared in the female official's eyes, and her attitude towards me was better, and just as she wanted to say something, Bai Rong walked up to me and said, "Su'er, let's discuss it carefully, and we must not lose our honor in front of the human emperor." ”

I shook Bai Rong's hand and said, "That's nature. ”

Before the lady had finished speaking, I looked at her and motioned for her to continue.

The female official's face returned to normal, and she said with a little respect: "The emperor is sympathetic to the sisterhood of the two princesses, so she allows the two of you to perform together, and the slave maid will take you to the Pianjiao Pavilion." ”

Qiu An and Pinghui's faces were suspicious, Qiu An took my eyes and made me more alert, and Pinghui asked directly: "Isn't it a long time since no one has been to the Pianjiao Pavilion, why did you go there again today?"

The female official's face changed, and she took out the token of Emperor Pingyu and said, "This is the will of Emperor Pingyu, and the girl hopes not to burden your princess." ”

Bai Rong hurriedly pulled Pinghui away and asked her not to speak yet.

The female officer didn't say much, and led the way directly in front, and Bai Rong and I followed behind with a look at each other.

Qiu An walked slower behind, and the female officer no longer showed mercy, and turned around to reprimand, Qiu An's face was red when he was scolded, and he quickly followed.

This road is extremely remote, and I don't know how many alleys I have walked, Qiu An is holding my hand on the side, I look at her, and I seem to have some confidence in my heart.

Finally arrived at the Pianjiao Palace, even if I was prepared, I was still shocked to see the dilapidated scene in the courtyard, I have always been fighting with people and not grabbing, the west room I live in is already a remote place in the imperial city, but this Pianjiao Hall is even more dilapidated.

The female officer opened the door and let Bai Rong and the four of us go in to prepare for the performance, so she bowed and withdrew, and closed the door casually.

Bai Rong was helpless on his face, and said to me: "Su'er, if you come, you will be safe!"

I nodded, Sister Bai Rong's dancing skills are the best in the world, and I am acting as a foil, and I have always been like this since I was a child.

There was a puzzled look in Pinghui's eyes, Qiu An has always been calm, but he also seemed to be unhappy for me.

Bai Rong seemed to be reluctant, and said: "Su'er, in the past, you didn't like to be in the limelight in the Water Palace, but now in the Imperial City, I'm afraid that you will be despised by others." ”

I shook my head and persuaded Bai Rong: "I won't do anything reluctantly, but in this imperial city, I have you, and there is Qingqing outside the imperial city, and that." ”

Bai Rong looked at the shape of the ribbon in my hand and knew that I was referring to Buddha grass aya, so he nodded.

Pinghui said that Emperor Ping Jade likes "Qingtian Tune" more, and persuaded us to arrange a dance for this song.

Bai Rong was interested, and I persuaded her: "Since it is the twelve spirit girls who perform, it is natural that most of them will go to understand the preferences of the Emperor and the Jade Emperor, and I think other women will also dance, I know that my sister has excellent dancing skills, but I still choose another song for the top." ”

Bai Rong nodded and asked Pinghui, "Are there any other tunes that are appropriate?"

Pinghui shook her head, I glanced at Qiu An, Qiu An didn't think about it, and said two words: ""Lan Gu"

Pinghui's face changed greatly, but she seemed to be taboo, and she refused to say more, Bai Rong and I were puzzled and looked at Qiu'an.

Qiu An also wanted to speak and stopped, but said: "I hope that the princess believes in the slave maid, and she will inform the princess of the reason in the future." ”

Bai Rong was a little uneasy, I took her hand and said, "Qiu An is safe, I believe in her!"

Bai Rong and I didn't know much about this song, so Qiu An sang the tune, and Ping Hui played the drum on the side.

Ping Hui wanted to come to the palace and heard about Bai Rong's world-class dancing skills, but when she really saw it in front of her, she was still impressed.

Qiu An was also amazed by Bai Rong's dancing, but there was even more surprise in her eyes when she looked at me, she was really sharp-eyed.

In this way, the four of them together, and after a while, they choreographed a dance.

Ping Hui couldn't help but admire, and said to Bai Rong: "The princess is really a god, not to mention her superb dancing, and the choreography is also so good." After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and looked at me and said apologetically: "Princess Suji is also very powerful." ”

Qiu An didn't speak, but Sister Bai Rong gave me a grateful look.

When we were ready for the dance, we planned to go back to see what was going on, calculate the time, and just go back to change our clothes and go to the banquet.

Pinghui pushed the door and tried to go out, but found that he couldn't open it, and the door was locked from the outside.

"We have been calculated. Bai Rong reacted immediately and looked at me with worried eyes.

I was also shocked in my heart, but Qiu An was calmer than us, sighed and said: "Since this is the case, the two princesses might as well rest assured, wait for someone to come to the rescue, this place is remote, and no one will come if you shout." ”

Sister Bai Rong didn't seem to expect Qiu An to be so unflustered, and she glanced at Qiu An, but Qiu An's face still did not change.

Pinghui was so anxious that her eyes were red, and Bai Rong also sighed mournfully, only Qiu An held my hand beside me and whispered in my ear: "Don't be impatient, princess." ”

Hearing her say this, I felt inexplicably confident in my heart.

Sure enough, after a while, there were footsteps in the courtyard, and Pinghui shouted for help in the room at this time, only to hear a few sounds, and the door opened.

An unattractive guard stood at the door and saved us. Except for me, Bai Rong and the others were all surprised, and Ping Hui said in surprise: "It's you!"

I was puzzled, and looked at Qiu An, who whispered to me: "He is the one who brought Wubei Han to save the princess last time." ”

It turned out to be a benefactor, so I gave a salute.

Although this guard looked ordinary, his eyes flashed with fine light, like a pearl covered with dust, and when he saw me worshipping him, he was not flustered, and said in a muffled voice: "His Majesty the Emperor is coming, the two princesses should go to the banquet with me." ”

Qiu An said to the guards, "The two princesses still need to change their clothes. ”

The guards were quite polite to Qiu An, but they still said bluntly: "It's too late, so let's go to the banquet first, so as not to offend the emperor and His Majesty." ”

After speaking, he ignored us and led the way straight in front, and Bai Rong and I hurriedly followed behind the guards.

I secretly asked Qiu An: "I said why weren't you in a hurry just now, you already knew it in your heart, right?"

Qiu An didn't hide it, and whispered in my ear calmly: "When I left the Yong'an Palace, I noticed that the female official was abnormal, so I secretly left a mark on the Pianjiao Hall where the guards must pass every day. ”

I looked at her with satisfaction, with Qiu'an, I had more security to live safely in the imperial city.

The guard was in a hurry in front, and I didn't know if it was because he wasn't in good health, but I felt that the back was similar.
