Li Bao's whole body stiffened, but he didn't show it on his face. He obediently agreed, then gave a few words to the little eunuch behind him, and exited the palace gate of Kunning Palace.

Gu Feiyan stood aside and hung her head slightly.

Although Ye Tianhuai's tone of voice to Li Baoquan was still calm, Gu Feiyan still felt that the emperor was angry with him, but he moved a little quietly.

Ye Tianhuai was indeed furious when he saw those charcoal fires.

Now that she is fighting on the front line, she asks for money everywhere, and even she, the emperor, is thrifty and set an example for the Manchu Dynasty. And in her harem, there is a luxurious act of warming flowers with silver silk charcoal.

The Queen apparently didn't see anything wrong with this.

She didn't even know how expensive silver charcoal was.

In fact, she has only seen this kind of charcoal since she was a child. So much so that she thought that everyone in this world had such a charcoal fire to keep warm in the cold winter.

Ye Tianhuai couldn't get angry with her.

Now she can't turn her face with Gu Shihai yet. What's more, the queen probably doesn't understand what she's angry about.

But the fire was blocked in her chest, and it was really uncomfortable.

Coincidentally, at this time, Li Baoquan sent it up.

After Li Baoquan left, Ye Tianhuai felt a lot more comfortable.

She looked at Gu Feiyan, who was at a loss, quickly sorted out her emotions, and smiled at her: "Didn't Concubine Ai say that she wanted me to see unusual singing and dancing?" ”

Gu Feiyan was recalled by her gentle voice, and gave her a half-salute with some crampedness, and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to stay in the courtyard for a while, and Concubine Rong to make up a little." ”

After speaking, she instructed Yun Wei twice, and then walked into the main hall quickly with the hem of her clothes.

Yun Wei led Ye Tianhuai to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and then beckoned the maid behind her to give Ye Tianhuai two plates of fruit snacks and a pot of wine.

Ye Tianhuai was slightly surprised and asked Yun Wei, "Oh? Does this dance still need to be accompanied by wine? ”

Yun Wei lowered her head, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face, and said, "Your Majesty will know later." Niangniang has been preparing for this dance for a long time. ”

Seeing that she was selling Guanzi, Ye Qianhuai didn't ask, she sat up straight for a long time, and said, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

Yun Wei stepped away from her. Ye Qianhuai didn't notice that in the entire courtyard of Kunning Palace, she was the only one left at this moment.

The courtyard is surrounded by charcoal fires and flowers, decorating this small courtyard very lively. Ye Qianhuai, who was dressed in a black gown, looked a little out of place in this warm courtyard, and she sat there quietly, lonely like an ancient tree.

After a while, the sound of drums was heard in the main hall.

After three slow drum beats, the melodious flute was suddenly interjected. Immediately after, the crisp Yueqin also followed.

It's a rather exotic tune.

At this time, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and the four palace maids dressed in pale pink gauze skirts walked out lightly along the sides of the door with the musical instruments in their arms.

The maidens stopped in front of the splendid flower beds, lowered their eyes, and a pair of slender jade hands danced on the instruments, and played a song of rapid drums in unison.

Then, a fiery red figure jumped out of the temple like a butterfly.

It is the protagonist of this dance - Gu Feiyan.

Ye Tianhuai's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Gu Feiyan was wearing a red dress that she had never seen before.

It was a dress of red silk and red yarn, red silk like a flame wrapped around her waist and chest, red yarn looming to outline the delicate curves of her shoulders, neck and calves, the dance dress tightly wrapped around her graceful figure, changing postures with her leap.

She also had a fiery red butterfly hairpin on her head, and her head was covered with green silk tied up with a hairband and hung down at the back of her head.

With a heavy drum beat, she landed on her tiptoes.

Under the interplay of candles and charcoal fire, the hem of her skirt also shone like a firelight, pouring to the ground.

Gu Feiyan's eyes were half raised, as if she inadvertently looked at Ye Qianhuai, her eyes were sparkling and breathtaking. The red lips are lightly opened, and the sleeves are waved and the arms are waved.

This is indeed an unusual dance.

This is a dance that you will never see in a solemn place like the Imperial Palace.

If such a half-exposed dress appeared in the palace, it would be regarded as immoral, and even the emperor as a spectator would be denied the infamy of indulging in pleasure.

Ye Tianhuai never thought that Gu Feiyan would dance like this.

But at the same time, she finally knew why Gu Feiyan had to arrange so many charcoal fires in the courtyard.

Because her clothes are worn on summer nights, let alone in the early winter season?

The queen had apparently been preparing for this dance for a long time. I have to say that the dance is really good, the strength and flexibility are just right, powerful but not stiff, soft but not decadent, delicate but not vulgar.

This is the first time Ye Qianhuai has seen such a passionate dance.

It is indeed different from the step-by-step singing and dancing at the banquet, this kind of dance makes people's hearts surging and their blood boiling.

Ye Qianhuai looked straight in the eyes.

Seeing that Ye Tianhuai couldn't take his eyes off, Gu Feiyan couldn't help but smile on the corner of her mouth, and she danced indulgently.

Halfway through the dance, Gu Feiyan smiled and watched Ye Qianhuai pacing beside her, she half sat on Ye Qianhuai's lap, waved her sleeves and picked up the two jade cups full of wine on the stone table, and then handed a wine glass to Ye Tianhuai's mouth with a smile.

The warm fragrance of nephrite jade came into his arms, mixed with the intoxicating aroma of wine, Ye Tianhuai couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and took the wine she handed over in a daze.

The wine has a fruity aroma, and it is baked in the warmth of the courtyard, and it is intoxicating just by smelling it.

Gu Feiyan freed up a hand and gently pushed Ye Tianhuai's shoulder, and the whole person left her embrace, like a red butterfly jumping backwards, she raised the wine glass in her hand, raised her head and drank it all.

Then, she raised the empty wine glass to Ye Qianhuai, and the smile on the corner of her lips urged Ye Tianhuai to drink the glass of wine in her hand.

The rapid beat of the drums seemed to urge her.

Ye Tianhuai smiled lightly at Gu Feiyan, and then glanced sideways at the wine in his hand.

She has never drunk much in the palace of the queen and the concubine, for fear of getting drunk and gaffe and causing unnecessary trouble. But today, the queen is so warmly invited, it is really difficult to shirk. In addition, Ye Qianhuai didn't drink much wine at today's banquet, and with her amount of alcohol, this pot of fruit wine is not so much.

Thinking of this, Ye Qianhuai also raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

As soon as the wine was in his stomach, Ye Tianhuai was shocked.

It was as if someone had scratched her heart and knocked a crack in her hard, closed heart. Then a wave of heat flowed down her veins to her limbs, and her heart fluttered. (End of chapter)
