Mingyue took the copper basin beside her, and asked the pool in a low voice: "In a quarter of an hour, it's time for dinner, can the young lady freshen up?" ”

Although it was her tone, her hands were already wringing the handkerchief soaked in warm water.

Akichi nodded, letting her wipe her face for herself, and then spreading her hair in a bun and combing it again.

The comb is a heart-warming bun that is easy to dance.

After combing her hair in a bun, Mingyue put her things away.

Zhichi looked at the bronze mirror and reached out to cover his eyebrows in the mirror. The bloodline of the Chi family was connected by these similar eyes, so she was a little disgusted even by her own eyes.

One day, she will tear out those things that are constantly cut and follow each other.

Because it was the first dinner back in Beijing, the Chi family still spent some effort to prepare. When the time came, Mama Li, who was beside the county lord, came to urge, changed her clothes, and led Mingyue out.

Mama Li smiled all over her face, "The cousin came, the adults and the county lord were very happy, this first dinner was also for the cousin, and the kitchen was prepared three days in advance." ”

Zhichi replied with a smile, "Uncle and aunt are bothered", while following her, patronizing and talking, the moment she stepped out of the threshold, she didn't pay attention to her feet, she tripped over the threshold, and her other foot stepped on the stone brick that had been loose in front of the door, the stone brick was crooked, and her ankle went to the outside - Mingyue quickly grabbed her, so she didn't let anyone fall directly to the ground.

Everything was just lightning, and when Mama Li heard the movement and turned around, she saw that her face was pale, as if she was frightened, and she leaned on Mingyue and gasped for a few breaths.

She hurriedly went over to hold the chi, and was very concerned: "But where is the injury?" Can you still walk? ”

The chichi tried to move his ankle slowly - Mingyue moved too fast, this time it was shallow, and it could be raised in two or three days.

This stone brick was seen by Chi Qingxuan when she led her.

The moment she crossed the threshold, her mind moved, thinking that if she was injured at this time and couldn't dance, wouldn't it be logical to slow down their progress and save herself more time. That's why I had that moment.

But this injury is still light.

She endured the initial throbbing pain, and said slowly in a steady voice: "Fortunately, Mingyue helped me in time, and I didn't hurt it, but I was startled." ”

Mama Li was still not at ease, her eyes were only staring at her ankles, and when she saw this, she simply let go of Mingyue's hand, and took a few steps forward, walking as usual.

It seems that Fang just shook his body unsteadily.

Mama Li dispelled her worries, but she was afraid of delaying for too long, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lead her forward.

Only Mingyue frowned and glanced back - this hut had indeed been empty for a while, and although it had been cleaned carefully, it was inevitable that there would be mistakes. After all, it was only such a small stone brick, and it was close to the threshold, and how many people walked back and forth, but it was such a coincidence that she didn't step on it steadily.

Fortunately, people are fine.

The yard where the pond lives is biased, and it is the last to arrive. The seat reserved for her was next to Chi Qingxuan, and she sat down after seeing the ceremony one by one, and ate a meal quite peacefully.

Chi Licheng drank two glasses, his face was ruddy, and he asked Chi Chi warmly for a while, and then the conversation changed: "I don't know where the shadow is, although she is not in good health and can't stand the hurry, but she will come back a day earlier and settle down a day earlier." ”

When the county lord heard this, his face did not change for half a minute, and he still smiled, "It's not too late for a few days." The people who stayed in the room to serve were all trusted subordinates of the Chi family, so she said directly: "Sister Song has worked hard all these years, and she has raised the Chi so well, this disease, I'm afraid it's also tiring." ”

Chi Chi just lowered his head and used the crisp cheese in his bowl, and listened to Chi Licheng say: "I am afraid that the illness of Langying will fall when I practiced dancing in my early years." Her dance was a must in the capital back then, but it's a pity. ”

Listening to the two of them singing and harmonizing, when he heard the three words Song Rongying, he was still in a trance of fear. Chi Qingxuan thought that she was thinking of her biological mother's illness and sadness, so she patted her hand under the mat and shook it gently.

The county lord of Ruize finally got to the point, "Sister Song is weak, and it's not a pity not to dance in the future." Besides, didn't he learn from Sister Song since he was a child? ”

Chi Licheng nodded, and raised his eyes to look at the ranks, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the first-class dance of the ranks, so I don't know how much I have learned?" ”

It's not that I haven't seen dancing before, after all, even face-to-face, the father and daughter are only seeing each other for the first time today.

Her good father didn't even want to finish the performance for a day, and he couldn't wait.

If they don't see if she is qualified to enter the East Palace today, they are afraid that they will not be able to sleep.

The words have come to this point, and the rank pool is not good to pretend not to understand anymore, so he simply got up and saluted, "Then the title pool will be ugly." ”

As soon as she got up, a fruit bounced straight at her from the opposite side—the pool subconsciously dodged, and almost knocked over the cup. The fruit struck her, and the juice splashed her clothes.

The county lord of Ruize snorted, and Chi Huaiyu held the fruit bowl with an innocent face, as if he had just missed a fruit just now.

Chi Licheng didn't care at all, he only stared at Zhichi's face, and didn't even ask her to change her clothes, "Your mother danced the best back then, it was Taoyao, it's better to just make a song." ”

Zhichi lowered his head and wiped his dress, paused when he heard the words, and responded "Okay." ”

In her previous life, she had also asked her father why it had to be her.

He tried his best to bring her back to the capital from Jiangnan, and carefully hid it, fabricated her identity for her, and tried his best to choose a more suitable dancer for no other reason.

Just because she can jump the peach.

If you can dance a peach dance in front of the prince, you won't worry about him leaving no one.

The crown prince Ning Xun was born by the queen who had been deceased for seven years, and when the queen's holy family was thick, she once danced with a peach, which shocked the saint.

Taoyao is all the rage, and the dance workshops in Beijing have imitated this dance, because of the emperor's story, even if this dance is difficult, there are countless dancers who practice hard day and night.

But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the emperor and queen to fall out of harmony, and under the wrath of the Holy Thunder, no one dared to jump again. Looking at the whole capital, no one dares to teach this peach dance, and no one wants to learn, just like the peach blossom that is in full bloom, the flowering period has ended.

The best dancer in Beijing was Song Rongying. She is extremely talented, not only is she the first to learn, but she is also one of the few who can dance the whole piece in its entirety.

And the rank pool has been learning dance with Song Rongying since he was a child, and the Jiangnan Tiangao Emperor is far away, so there are many fewer restrictions, and the title pool also learned Taoyao.

The prince has never been close to women, and he is also mediocre in singing and dancing, and it is far more difficult to stuff people in the East Palace than imagined. If you have to fight, Song Zhichi, who can dance like a peach, is undoubtedly the most likely to be left by the prince - he has experienced it in the previous life, and he naturally knows that Chi Licheng's wishful thinking is not wrong.

The sound of silk and bamboo, the afterglow of the residual sun, sprinkled on her scorching and colorful dance skirt, the clothes fluttered, as if seeing the peach blossoms of the trees, making people forget what day and night.

I dare not raise my voice, for fear of frightening the people in heaven.

There was silence all around.

At the moment when the tune rose again, the latch got up on the instep of his feet, and the originally smooth and beautiful movements suddenly paused, followed by a tooth-aching "click". She stopped, and the whole person fell back heavily, and the hem of her skirt was volleyed and folded down, just like a peach blossom that had fallen suddenly.

His face was pale, his brows were tightly locked in pain, and beads of sweat were already dripping from the corners of his forehead.

Chi Licheng stood up solemnly, stepped to her side in a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Call Lang Zhong!" ”

He had heard it just now, if her foot was hurt...... Isn't it a big mistake?

The county lord and Chi Qingxuan also walked over quickly, and the surroundings became noisy for a while.

She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew very well that for a while, she wouldn't be able to dance.

It hurts, but it's better than she being sent to the Moon Snatching Workshop to practice dancing day and night, and then she was suddenly sent to the East Palace, where she was controlled everywhere and repeated the mistakes of the past.

The mind that had been tense for a day suddenly relaxed, only the increasing pain swept over, and her eyes turned white and she fainted.

When she woke up again, it was already dark, and she was lying on her bed, with only a lamp and candle outside.

The pond half-propped himself up, but he didn't see that there was still a person lying on his stomach in front of his bed, and he was awakened by her action.

"My sister is awake." Chi Qingxuan let out a long breath, "It's been three watches, although Lang Zhong said it's not a big deal, but you have been asleep, and it's weird and scary." ”

She has been guarding the bed, even if she is sleepy, she only lies on her stomach for a while.

Chi clenched his hands slightly, and his voice was lower, "Thank you, sister." ”

Chi Qingxuan had already gotten up to pour water for her, and was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, "Thank you." By the way, your feet can't move around these days. ”

Jackie pretended to be confused, "How come?" ”

"You broke it when you went out, although it wasn't serious, but it should have been raised for two days." Chi Qingxuan sighed, "It's all my father's fault for asking you to dance that dance, I heard that dance is very rare, and if you are not careful, you will be injured, not to mention that your ankle has just been broken." ”

"Lang Zhong said, how long do you want to raise it?"

"Take medication on time and rest for ten days before you can walk around on the ground. As for when it will be complete, it depends on how well it recovers, whether it is fast or slow. Chi Qingxuan patted her hand with relief, "You just have to keep it in peace." ”

After getting a fairly satisfactory answer, Chi Chi was half relieved, only to remember that Chi Qingxuan was still looking at him, and the remaining half of his breath was choked in his lungs, and he immediately choked and coughed.

Chi Qingxuan gently patted her back and comforted her softly: "It's okay, Lang Zhong said it, and he won't fall ill." ”

Rank Chi nodded, and was gently hugged by her.

Full of sandalwood fragrance, the tie pool involuntarily stiffened, but fortunately, the next moment Chi Qingxuan let go, "Rest well, so that you can get better quickly." ”

After Chi Qingxuan left, Chi Chi couldn't sleep. Although the ankle was medicated and wrapped again, it still hurt terribly.

Shen Che had told her that she would come to pick her up after noon on the second day, she had a headache about this before, but now it's okay, since she doesn't have to go out, she doesn't have to see Shen Che again.

She couldn't get along with Shen Che for too long, she was afraid that Shen Che would see the clues.

But he came the next day.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 5

◎ Her chess skills were brought out by him, and she is naturally in the same vein as him, focusing on the overall situation and decisively. ◎

Shen Che came after noon. Wearing a hood, he quietly entered Chi's house through the side door, and went to the study to talk with Chi Licheng for a quarter of an hour before walking alone to the house in Chi.

There was a maple tree planted not far from the door of her house, and last night a gust of wind blew, and the half-red and half-yellow maple leaves fell to the ground. At this hour, the sun was just right, dripping from the branches of the trees on a maple leaf.

He opened the window, sat by the window, and stared at the fallen leaves on the ground with one hand and saw his god, and he didn't even notice that Shen Che was approaching.

The wind blew, she woke up, looked back, and saw that Mingyue was busy, so she stretched herself out to close the window.

"What are you thinking, so distracted?" A gentle and familiar voice sounded, and he turned his head off guard, and on the other side of the window, he saw someone coming.

The wind lifted his hood, half-hiding the tulle in front of her, and her eyes met the eyes behind the hood.

It's like when she knelt in the wedding room of his wedding, looking up at him through the heavy red veil, wanting an answer.

Zhichi was originally stretched out to close the window, but when he saw him, he subconsciously dodged back, and his legs used a little force, and he was about to move his injured ankle - Shen Che raised his hand at the right time, grabbed her arm, and firmly held her.

Zhichi completely woke up, and while hastily retracting his arm, he called "Ah Che".

Shen Che walked around half a circle, walked in through the door, Mingyue had already got the meaning of the county lord, and when she saw that it was Shen Che, she bowed and withdrew.

There were only two people left in the room for a while. Shen Che walked up to her, squatted down, gently pressed the acupuncture points on her calves with one hand through her clothes, raised his head and said at eye level with her: "If you haven't moved for a long time, your legs are swollen and uncomfortable, it will be more comfortable to press here." ”

She didn't like him getting so close.

Zhichi nodded hastily, reached out to support the hand he was still rubbing, and said with a smile: "I know." But I just finished drinking the medicine, and now it doesn't hurt too much. ”

Shen Che withdrew his hand and got up, sat down opposite her, and looked at the unfinished chess game on the table, "It seems that this medicine does work." ”

The chess game was just boring for her and let Mingyue put it on the table. I went down with myself for a while, but I was not interested, so I put it down.
