Chapter 17: The Birthday Feast
The emperor's birthday banquet came in an instant.
The atmosphere of the palace suddenly became joyful, but it also revealed a hint of tension.
As in previous years, this year's emperor's fiftieth birthday was also handled by Song Jinya, as if replacing the queen's position. The queen who is weak by nature can only swallow her anger, and she is kind on the surface, but she doesn't know how many tears she shed behind her back.
In the past few days of living in the palace, Rong Yunhe has not been here once, but only sent someone to send some food and clothing, and he didn't see him until the day of the birthday banquet.
Rong Yunhe lifted the curtain and walked in, glanced at Qin Luoyi intentionally or unintentionally, and turned to Hua Weilan and said, "How are you prepared?"
Hua Weilan's face was a little nervous, and even her voice trembled slightly: "I, I'm ready." Having said that, she secretly grabbed Qin Luoyi's hand, her fingers were cold, and the nervous aura seemed to be transmitted to Qin Luoyi's body, and even Qin Luoyi's complexion changed slightly.
Perhaps sensing Hua Weilan's worry, Rong Yunhe didn't say anything more, and heard the sound of 'The emperor has arrived' outside, so he hurriedly walked out.
The purple figure disappeared in front of her, Hua Weilan breathed a sigh of relief, she stood up, Qianqianyu lifted the skirt with her hand, and paced back and forth, trying to reduce the tension in her heart. Qin Luoyi's eyes flickered, the fingers in the cuffs moved slightly, and a few drops of water fell to the ground silently.
"Ahh
A scream pierced the air in the entire room, and Hua Weilan somehow slipped under her feet and fell heavily to the ground!
The sound of bones creaking came from her body, Hua Weilan sat on the ground with a pale face, her hands covering her ankles, fine beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, and she seemed to be enduring great pain!
Qin Luoyi hurriedly walked over: "Miss Weilan, what's wrong with you?"
"My feet, my feet hurt so much!" Hua Weilan cried, "You help me up!"
She held Qin Luoyi's hand, just stood up from the ground, but gasped in pain, and almost fell to the ground again, but fortunately was supported by Qin Luoyi in time: "Your foot seems to be sprained, I'm afraid you won't be able to dance on stage." ”
Qin Luoyi said as she helped Hua Weilan to sit down on a chair, squatted down and took off her socks, and sure enough, her right ankle was red and swollen!
"No! I must go dancing! I have practiced dancing for so long, I must not just give up!" Hua Weilan bit her lip and was about to get up despite Qin Luoyi's obstruction, but the severe pain in her ankle made her fall on the chair again.
"Girl, don't move, I'm afraid I'll hurt my bones if I continue like this. Qin Luoyi paused, "I've also learned some dance steps these days, if you don't mind, why don't I put on a veil and dance on stage for you?"
Hua Weilan's movements in his hand stopped: "This ...... Is it feasible?"
"Don't worry, I'm wearing a veil and no one will recognize me. Qin Luoyi said lightly, but he was very convincing, "As long as you don't say it, no one will know." ”
The sound of silk and bamboo outside the door gradually faded, and the next performance was Hua Weilan. It was too late to think about it, Hua Weilan had to reluctantly accept it, and watched Qin Luoyi change into her own clothes, take a cyan veil and put it on, and turned around and left the room
