Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 13

Ji Chi turned his head to look at Shen Che in shock—he didn't even put on his hat. In the previous life, she came with her own little girl, and the Moon Snatcher Fang also arranged for someone to pick her up, but it was not the one in front of her. What's more, looking at the situation in front of them, the two of them should be very familiar.

"Mei Niang." Shen Che raised his eyes, but there was no smile on his face, and he seemed to be rejecting for a moment, and his words seemed to carry a bit of warning, "Place her well." ”

"That's nature." Mei Niang glanced up and down at the pool, smiling as if she was looking at the rabbit that had strayed into the wolves, "It's really pitiful for me." If I am left to teach, I will not be willing to say half a cruel word. ”

She stood under the car and stretched out a hand to the chichi, and the action of the chichi going up paused, pondered for a moment, and turned her head to look at Shen Che again with trust in her eyes.

Shen Che leaned over and straightened the step on her bun for her, and said softly, "Just go in and follow Mei Niang, I'll pick you up later." ”

The author has something to say:

Ning Xun: Do you look at this scene by yourself?

Shen Che: Yes.

Rank: Coming from behind! (Pacify) Some people appear early, but maybe they don't have to be early

Shen Che: ...?

(The male protagonist will appear again in the next chapter!) Guarantee!

Chapter 13

◎ Only Ning Xun, he has the queen's blood on his body, he can't pick himself clean, and he doesn't want to pick it. ◎

The chichi followed Mei Niang into the door of the Moon Snatching Workshop, and walked along the low red wall that twisted and turned. The autumn chrysanthemum under the wall is in full bloom, and the autumn breeze is bleak, but it can't withstand the fragrance of fat powder on the wall, and the sound of silk and bamboo music.

Mei Niang...... Zhichi looked at her back and thought about it carefully, but found that she didn't seem to have seen her in her previous life - she only remembered that she obeyed the arrangement and practiced dancing day and night in the house, and in addition to learning how to manipulate people's hearts and how to play the play she should play in the East Palace, she didn't even remember anything else.

But since this Mei Niang can talk to Shen Che like this, her identity must not be simple.

Mei Niang opened her mouth and interrupted her thoughts: "Since the prince brought you here, then I might as well tell you that I am the owner of this Moon Snatching Workshop." ”

"Darkhouse?"

Mei Niang still smiled, "A business that can't see the light is not dark." Otherwise, what do you think you're doing here? ”

"If you come, you will be safe. Listen more and talk less. There's still a lot to learn. ”

He only pretended to be ignorant and was led into a hut by her. The people who came to teach the new dance of the title pool had already been arranged, and Mei Niang lightly clicked a few words, and then left first.

The title pool was taught by Song Rongying since she was a child, and naturally she is no worse than the famous dancing girl in Beijing, Shan Taoyao has a song, no one can teach her here, and she doesn't need to be taught.

It's just that she entered the East Palace as a dancing queen, and she had to learn all the fashionable dances in Beijing - otherwise, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became interested and asked her to dance, she wouldn't be able to dance a new dance, and her identity would be self-defeating.

Only Zhichi knows that it doesn't matter if she doesn't learn this dance - after all, in the three years she was in the East Palace, Ning Xun didn't let her skip it once, so there was really no chance to show her stuffing.

When she first entered the East Palace, under the pressure of the Chi family, she once danced all afternoon in the pavilion on a snowy day, wearing a red wide-sleeved silk dress, just because Ning Xun had lunch, and she might pass by there.

The snowflakes were whirled into the gazebo by the wind, burrowing into the sleeves of her dress, and the satin sleeves rippled in the wind, beautiful and beautiful, but cold to the touch. She was so cold that her brain was numb, and she only subconsciously followed the music to the beat, I don't know how many times she danced, and finally saw Ning Xun, who was wearing a silver fox fur and holding a stove, appear at the end of her sight.

She bit her lip, trying to make her face more bloody, Ning Xun walked towards the gazebo - but he just walked, he didn't even stop walking when he passed by the gazebo, and only asked her lightly: "Isn't it cold?" ”

Of course she's cold! If he had eaten half an hour slower, the pestle would have been a big red ice sculpture.

She is most afraid of the cold, this dance dress is thin, and she doesn't seem to wear it, not to mention that after the snow is melted by the little body temperature left, the cold satin sticks to her body, and the cold makes people shiver.

Ning Xun walked over, she was finally able to stop, but before she could breathe, she saw the little eunuch next to Ning Xun running around, holding the silver fox Qiu in one hand and the stove in the other, and sent it to the pool.

The heat of the stove was properly wrapped in the fox fur, and the warmth rushed to her body, and she felt alive. When she looked up, Ning Xun's figure had disappeared into the distance.

As for the pond, after returning to the house, he had a fever that night and was sick for half a month.

The Chi family knew that this trick would not work, and since then they have never forced her to dance.

The person arranged by Mei Niang was decent, and taught a new tune to the title pool - these dances, she had learned them once in the previous life, although she was a little rusty, but she didn't have to make a lot of effort to remember eight or nine times out of ten. It only took her two hours to learn the whole song.

It could have been faster, but she was thinking about her performance in front of Shen Che in the past few days, and she was inevitably distracted - she had never seen Mei Niang in her previous life, and there was no reason why Shen Che would ask Mei Niang to take her in person at the beginning.

Unless, it's because he doesn't feel at ease enough.

Why not?

Her qualifications are too good, and the dancing girl arranged by Mei Niang knew that she was afraid that she would not be able to teach her, so she gently asked her to stay in the house for a while and go to find Mei Niang.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she was so uncomfortable that she opened the door and poked her head out to breathe a sigh of relief.

With a hint of coolness pouring in, she hesitated for only a moment before sneaking out.

The moon is divided into two parts before and after, a river is introduced to do the separation, the river is two zhang wide, the arch bridge is set up every ten zhang away, the weeping willows on both sides of the bank are still clinging, there are countless river lamps in the night from the upstream all the way down the river, the river surface is sparkling, like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world.

To the north of the river is where the guests watch the dance, singing day and night, and south of the river is where she is now.

She came out of the house by accident, and halfway through, it suddenly began to rain, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the ground, and after a while, the ground was wet.

The pond is hidden in a small pavilion nearby, the pavilion is by the river, and the sound of rain is not interrupted by the sound of the river on the other side of the river.

The rain fell rapidly, splashing on the surface of the river, and it was like a fog. The arch bridge looms in the fog, like a magpie bridge in the sky.

She looked at the other side of the river in a daze, and suddenly couldn't help but think that if she stepped on the stone arch bridge and went to Beiyuan...... I showed up in front of the public, and then pretended to break in inadvertently, and revealed my relationship with the Chi family in a panic, can I break the situation of the Chi family?

She couldn't help but take two steps out of the pavilion, and the rain line under the eaves fell on the upper of her shoes.

* This rain is menacing, the dead leaves are crumbling and hanging on the branches, and the palace people go in and out, braving the rain to sweep up the fallen leaves on the ground, lest this bleak autumn mood annoy the saint. In addition to the rain, the white marble steps are clean and dusty.

In front of the main hall, Li Dexian waited under the eaves, pacing back and forth for a few times, not daring to listen to the movement inside, but also had to pay attention to the movement inside - the saint is the most evil late autumn, every year at this time, the front of the hall is a mosquito flying over and has to hold its breath. Those who serve in front of the emperor have to cheer up the spirit of 120,000 points.

There was an explosion inside, because of the separation of the palace door, it was muffled and could not be heard, but after all, Gonggong Li was a person who had been in front of the palace for decades, and after he got older, his ears were very pointed. He took a breath of cool air and patted his heart—listening to this, the saint was afraid that he had fallen off the Yao Chang that he liked to play with the other day.

Li Dexian sighed tremblingly - when he led the prince in, he also carefully reminded him. After all, His Royal Highness only returned to Beijing from the border in the past year, and the father and son have been separated for a long time, and sometimes it is common to not be sure of the saint's temperament.

Not to mention...... Since the prince returned to Beijing, it has only been two years since he was full, but I don't know how many objects have been broken in the main hall.

The saint doesn't have a good face for the prince on weekdays, let alone at this time, it is the time when the mood is not good.

There was some movement in it, but fortunately, a few days ago, the newly made Panjin Yunlong silk carpet was just laid out, and the sound inside was extremely dull, hidden in the sound of the rain.

The palace people standing outside seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and they lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and they didn't have a look of surprise. Only a small eunuch walked here with his head buried in the distance, his steps were eager, but the tea cup in his hand was steady.

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly came over with tea, and finally stopped in front of Li Dexian: "Master, you go in at this time, in case you upset the saint......

Li Dexian glanced at him, he immediately closed his mouth, and respectfully offered the tea cup to Li Dexian's hand.

Li Dexian stood in front of the hall with a tea cup, and the folds of his eyelids were stacked, showing a bit of vicissitudes. He was thinking for no reason, if it was seven years ago, he didn't have to serve this tea—if it was the queen's mother, he didn't even need tea, let the saint's monstrous anger, she would caress most of it in a few words.

Li Dexian sighed. Well, if this was seven years ago, how could the saint be willing to say a heavy word to the prince?

The queen mother, went for more than seven years. The saint was tired of the autumn of seven years - not only autumn, but also everything involved with the queen. The first to bear the brunt is the eldest son of the saint, the current prince, Ning Xun.

Up and down the palace, as long as there is a wisp of contact with the queen, whether it is a person or a thing, it will not stay for a long time. Everyone is like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and no one who doesn't have long eyes dares to touch the moldy head of the saint.

Only Ning Xun, he has the queen's blood on his body, he can't pick himself clean, and he doesn't want to pick it.

There have long been rumors in the court, saying that the saint's favor is not the current crown prince, but he has taken advantage of the eldest and cannot be abolished for no reason - and the East Palace, since he returned from northern Xinjiang, has behaved in a decent manner, so that people can't find any major mistakes.

The three princes died early, and among the remaining three princes, the crown prince has both the eldest and the elder, but now he is not the one who is most favored by the saints, and he is also modest. On the contrary, it is Ning Zhen, the second prince born by Xian Guifei, who has a style of acting like the shadow of a saint when he was young, vigorous and resolute, although his temperament is a little more flamboyant, but he is deeply favored by the saint.

And the fourth prince Ning Mian, his biological mother Concubine Wen is not favored, and the prince born to him is too mild-tempered, and even shows a little cowardice. When Concubine Wen was still there, she was taken care of by the first queen, because Ning Mian was closer to the crown prince Ning Xun since she was a child. Even if the first queen lost power later, the mother and son did their best to deal with the prince.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Li Dexian was about to break in with all his might, but before he could even take half a breath, the door of the hall opened from the inside.

Ning Xun was dressed in a well-regulated python robe, with a long and jade body, and his expression was calm, as if it was not he who had just accepted the emperor's monstrous anger in the palace.

It is no wonder that the saint is always angry, and the crown prince and the late queen look really similar.

Gonggong Li was stunned in place, Ning Xun's eyes swept over the tea cup in his hand, bowed slightly to him, and stepped over the threshold.

His right hand pressed on the door of the temple, the five fingers were slender, the bones were distinct, and there was a thick layer of cocoons at the tiger's mouth.

"Your Highness's hand......" Li Gongcheng wanted to say something, but he heard a voice full of anger inside: "Li Dexian!" Get out of here! ”

No, he could only bow his waist and immediately go in.

Ning Xun lowered his eyes, as if only then did he notice the red marks on the back of his hand. But his expression did not change at all, he only lowered his hand, let the sleeve of his robe slightly block it, and then stepped forward.

He just turned over the verandah in front of the hall, and saw the second prince Ning Zhen coming from afar.

Ning Zhen changed into a regular dress facing back, embroidered with Ruihe Xiangyun on the flamboyant vermilion robe, saw Ning Xun, reached out to take the umbrella from the palace people, walked straight forward, hooked his lips and smiled, and saluted very casually: "Brother Huang." ”

Ning Xun slowly raised his eyes, "Second brother." "—Brother and brother.

Ning Zhen put away his umbrella, dusted off his sleeves, and his smile became brighter, "Brother Huang, do you know that Senator Lin, who went to Jingzhou to investigate, folded on the boat back to Beijing - saying that he was drunk at night and accidentally fell into the water. The father summoned urgently, presumably for this reason. ”

Ning Xun chuckled lightly and was noncommittal, "Second brother is used to being well-informed. ”

The Jingzhou case was handed over to Ning Xun a month ago. It was not a serious case, but after Ning Xun received the order, he arranged for Senator Lin to go to Jingzhou, and some people were watching, and the case was concluded smoothly, but he didn't expect to accidentally implicate a private salt line.

Senator Lin sent a letter thousands of miles away, and he was afraid of startling the snake, so Ning Xun personally went to persuade him to push away the additional manpower that the imperial court wanted to send in the past, and stayed in Jingzhou for half a month.

It was easy for the sage to wait for him to find out and return to Beijing to report on his work, but he hadn't seen it yet, but he heard the news of his death first, and his anger could only be directed at Ning Xun, who was in charge of the matter.

Ning Zhen knew that he must have been scolded by his father, and Rao was annoying at the moment, and he couldn't stop his good mood. He handed the umbrella in his hand to Ning Xun, looked at Ning Xun, and said word by word: "This autumn's rain, it's still late." On the way to the royal brother, don't catch a cold. ”

The two looked at each other, Ning Xun didn't stretch out his hand, Ning Zhen never withdrew his hand, the umbrella stopped between the two for a long time, and the rain dripped down the umbrella bones on the ground, gathering a small pool.

It didn't last long, and the little eunuch who followed Ning Xun who sent him out of the Qianzheng Hall all the way hurriedly took the umbrella from Ning Zhen's hand.

Ning Xun turned his head half sideways and glanced lightly, the little eunuch shivered involuntarily, and subconsciously wanted to kneel, but the next moment he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretching out his left hand to hold the handle of the umbrella and take the umbrella steadily.

Ning Xun raised his hand, stretched the umbrella against the rain curtain, turned around and said to Ning Zhen with a smile: "The East Palace is not far away, compared to Lonely, the second brother has been walking in the rain for a longer time." However, since the second brother insisted on giving this umbrella, it was difficult for Lone to refuse. The father is still in the palace, and the second brother has to hurry up. ”

After speaking, he walked out of the eaves of the corridor with an umbrella, even if Ning Zhen was perfunctory, in the palace, the etiquette must be thorough, so he could only salute his back, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Huang go slowly." ”

The author has something to say:

Author: Don't you see it in your memories?

Ning Xun: ...
