As he walked towards Miyagi in the carriage of the Moon Snatcher, he opened the curtain and glanced out.

The sky and the earth are plain white, and the Nanshan Mountain she sees from a distance is also covered with snow, which is quiet.

The cold wind was too strong, she only glanced at it hurriedly, then lowered the curtain, sighed into the palm of her hand, and rubbed it hot.

The whole East Palace has been preparing for this night banquet for a long time, and the lights have been turned on when the sky is about to get dark.

The snow began to fall again, not very much, but the thin spots of snow hit the people's faces. Ning Zhen was dressed in a scarlet robe and strode forward, and the two little chamberlains with umbrellas trotted all the way to follow, carefully blocking the wind and snow.

Seeing a group of women dressed as dancing girls walking in a long line towards the side hall under the guidance of the palace grandmother, Ning Zhen stopped slightly. The women were all veiled, slender figures, and the collar dress was complicated but thin, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind. She seemed to be blinded by the wind and snow, and tilted her head to his side.

Just as the wind rose, her veil was raised, revealing a carefully depicted face underneath. The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the face is like a hibiscus, especially the golden pink peach blossom painted on the forehead, which makes people wonder which peach tree is the spirit.

It was at this time that Ning Xun personally came out to greet his second brother. Ning Xun stood in front of the hall and glanced over there following Ning Zhen's line of sight.

She's easy to recognize.

Even the back, the posture seems to be extraordinarily upright.

The fine snow fell, he looked at her back, and for no reason remembered the figure that on the night of the separation of the Huguo Temple, she stuffed the amulet she bothered to ask for in his hand, and then quickly turned away.

The amulet had been scorched by him that night, but he hadn't thrown it away.

The pond followed Mama in a regular manner, and suddenly shivered - like a small animal in the snow that exposed its whereabouts, the moment it was targeted by some fierce beast, it trembled instinctively.

Ji Chi shook his head in his heart, it was cold and it was snowing again.

She doesn't like rain or snow. Even the feeling of reuniting with this Miyagi after a long absence faded.

Ning Xun still looked in the direction of the dancing girls, and ordered the little eunuch beside him: "It's cold, add more charcoal." ”

The little eunuch's eyes widened, how could it be cold? Not to mention, in the main hall where the banquet is held, the earth dragon is so hot that it makes people slightly hot.

But His Royal Highness's orders are what he can beak, the little eunuch answered, and just about to slip away to do it, he heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince add a sentence: "Add some to the side hall." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ning Zhen walked up to him, and the saluting action was casual: "Brother Huang." ”

Just as the column of dancing girls entered the side hall, Ning Xun retracted his gaze and made a gesture of please, "Second brother." ”

Ning Zhen took in everything about Fang Cai, smiled in a good mood, and followed Ning Xun into the hall.

After three rounds of drinking, the waiter who was in charge of the singing and dancing scheduling during the banquet stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Your Highness, the Moon Snatching Fang has presented a group of dancing girls......

At the beginning of these words, Ning Zhen looked at the head quietly, and before the servant finished speaking, the prince said: "Accurate." ”

But he didn't seem to be interested in it, so he added another glass of wine and drank it all. The fifth princess stopped eating the fruit, and Baba looked out of the hall.

Ning Zhen sneered in her heart, turned her wine glass, and glanced at the county lord of Xining from a distance - she has been raised under the knees of the queen mother since she was a child, although she is the county lord, she is no different from the prince and princess, and on such an occasion, she must have a share. Xining seemed to be bored, said something to the palace maid on the side of the attendant, and left the table.

It's a pity, Ning Zhen thought to himself, missing such a big drama - he really wanted to see what his pure filial piety would look like when the first queen's peach fell in front of the prince again after ten years.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped, and when it got up again, it changed to a beautiful tune, which was a popular song in Beijing. The dancing girl entered through the fish, and her face was still covered with tulle, but she was changed to a semi-transparent style, which could not only see her appearance clearly, but also seemed to be separated by a sea of clouds and mist, which was not real.

The pond is surrounded in the center, and the stars are arching over the moon. She studied under Song Rongying, who was known as the first dancer in Beijing in the past, but she was faintly better, although her body was soft, she was full of a vigorous sense of strength. Between the spinning and tumbling, the silver ringing of the foot and wrist is disturbing.

The sound of the hall still noisily pushing the cup and changing the lamp weakened. With a half-turned movement, he glanced at the prince who was sitting at the top. The veil covered the lower half of her face, revealing a pair of phoenix eyes that were slightly raised, and her eyes seemed to hook her soul.

When she caught a glimpse of him, she saw that he was just looking at the cup in his hand, and seemed to have little interest in the dance below—so she stole a glance at him. The arrow wound in his left shoulder is not shallow, it has only been less than half a month, how dare he drink so much wine?

But unexpectedly, it collided with his eyes.

So her glance became a hook deliberately hooked in his gaze.

Ning Xun's hand paused, and her gaze just turned away with the dance steps.

He bowed his head and filled another glass.

It's really good. He chuckled.

But he has always been mediocre in singing and dancing, so it seems that this time his second brother is not very concerned.

Ning Zhen moved his chopsticks and sandwiched a cold salad fillet.

It's just an appetizer. He raised his glass upwards and drank a full glass with a smile.

It was the moment when Ning Zhen's wine glass rested on the case, and the sound of silk and bamboo turned. The unfamiliar but familiar tune came out melodiously, and everyone at the banquet was stunned.

The dancers slowly retreated in two columns, leaving only one in the middle.

The chichi closed his eyes and got up, and the dance steps that he had long been familiar with slid out with the music.

The skirt rises and falls, and the silver bell rings.

"Momo...... Die young?! The fifth princess exclaimed.

She didn't look at the faces of everyone at the banquet, she focused on this dance. The same place, the same dance, and even the reaction around them is exactly the same. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was a past life or a present life.

Or maybe there is no difference between the two.

Ning Xun's hand holding the wine glass slammed into a slam slam, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and the wine cup climbed up like a spider web in an instant.

He tried his best to restrain his expression, staring at the figure under the stage with his eyes, only to feel the blood flowing backwards.

The injury on the left shoulder suddenly hurt, and it followed the heart and implicated it.

Ning Zhen withdrew his gaze from above, picked up the wine cup, and covered the arc that could barely be suppressed at the corner of his lips.

What about the eldest son? His good royal brother, this identity, such a biological mother, is the most vicious curse for him.

As she had done in her previous life, she gradually approached Ning Xun as they had requested.

She still remembered that in her previous life, Ning Xun did not allow anyone to get close, and as soon as she approached, the attendant beside him made a move to stop her, and she naturally didn't ask for hardship, so she slowly retreated.

But this time...... The chamberlain was still dutifully trying to stop her, but Ning Xun raised her hand, and the eunuchs standing on both sides immediately lowered their heads and stopped stopping her.

Title Chi hesitated for a moment, noticing the gaze of the second prince on one side, she took a light breath, and got closer to Ning Xun with the dance steps.

There was still some distance between the two, and her sleeves were spread out, brushing the side of his face as if out of nowhere.

Ning Xun's gaze was silently chasing her, but it didn't seem like she was recalling anything or anyone through her—he was just looking at her Song Zhichi.

Because it's not the same. The queen mother danced in the past, but she only danced for her father and him - others were not qualified to watch the queen dance. After she became noble, she was arrogant, and her dancing posture was full of grace and nobility, and she did not flatter anyone. Although the name is Taoyao, this dance is more like plum, frost and snow.

At that time, the emperor and queen were affectionate, like glue and lacquer, and it was a good story, and there were no women in the world who did not want to follow suit. So Tao Yao danced out of the palace wall.

But the dancing girl in Beijing dances, naturally focusing on its ornamentality, and Tao Yao has been passed around, and it has been changed back and forth, so that it has become what it is today.

However, it has not been seen in Beijing for several years.

This dance, like the queen, has become an unspeakable taboo in the palace walls.

The rank pool turned his back to Ning Xun, as if he was about to leave with the dance steps. Ning Xun raised her hand and pressed the side of her face, the dance skirt on her body was made of silk, which was cool and cold, and the touch was clear when she brushed her cheeks.

The ringing of the silver bell stopped suddenly. The next moment, she leaned back into the air, her skirt slashing in the air, and fell into his arms.

Like a bird with folded wings.

Jackie's heart tightened - if he didn't reach out to take her, she wouldn't fall into his arms and would fall to the ground.

When she practiced this move in the Moon Snatching Workshop, she had questioned it more than once. But Mei Niang only smiled and nodded her heart, and said to her in a long voice: "Put your heart in your stomach." If he allowed you to come close, why wouldn't he take you? ”

Her stagnation has reached the limit, but it is only a short breath. Lingchi subconsciously closed his eyes, and before his body fell, his back suddenly leaned on a strong arm.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and Ning Xun took her around and took her into her arms steadily. When she opened her eyes, she met his eyes. And her rapid breathing was also wrapped in the faint smell of wine on his body, and under the cold silk, the heat of his palm was pressed against her waist, soaking her.

At that moment, countless images flashed in her mind, from her dancing here and now, to countless days and nights in the East Palace, to the turning back in the sea of fire.

Ning Xun lowered his head, and his eyes were very deep, as if he wanted to absorb people. He trembled at the sight of him, straightened his calves, and turned back with his forearms, falling behind him.

She danced lightly, with a burst of silver bells, farther and farther away from him, returned to the temple, and continued the dance.

When Taoyao's dance music stopped, it was surprisingly quiet, and no one dared to speak out for a while. Ning Mian hesitated again and again, and was about to leave the table to say something, when he heard Ning Zhen suddenly stroke his palm and laugh, and said three times in a row, "Okay!" ”

Led by the second prince, who was favored by the saint, the banquet slowly became lively again. A group of dancing girls stepped forward to salute, and Ning Zhen glanced at the prince's expression - it was a pity that his expression was as usual, and the moment he first heard Tao Yao's gaffe had already been hidden.

"Since the second brother said yes, then they will all be rewarded." Ning Xun faintly glanced at the group of dancing girls who thanked him below, as if he was looking for it, and only stopped when he looked at the rank, "She, stay." ”

Jackie let out a sigh of relief and stepped forward to thank him.

The five princesses and Ning Mian glanced at each other, both faintly worried.

Not to mention, every New Year's Festival, there are countless beauties to the East Palace, and there are countless dancing girls, but the prince has never left anyone once, without exception.

This time, it was made an exception because of Taoyao...... No matter how you think about it, it's unsettling.

The title pool retreated with the dancing girl, and was led by the grandmother alone outside the palace gate.

was ordered by the prince to stay, her identity has not yet been determined, so Mama first found a place to place her, thought about it, and pointed to a little palace maid, not only to take care of her for the time being, but also to watch her, don't let her collide with the nobles in this palace city.

The little palace maid had a round baby face, and she was pleasing when she looked at it, and saluted to the title: "Slave cicada clothes, I am here to serve the girl." The girl will live here first, and will wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to arrange. ”

Jackie smiled in response—she remembered her.

In the last life, the messenger who came to her side was also a cicada, and the little girl was two years younger than her, lively and splendid, like a pistachio, and very good at coaxing her to be happy. The only thing is the same, Cicada Yi is more positive about her approaching Ning Xun than the Chi family, and she is looking forward to her becoming the prince's concubine - Cicada Yi thought, this huge East Palace, there is not even a female master, even if it is a concubine, it is the first one, naturally different.

There are palace people who sent thick winter clothes, and the cold wind blew all the way to the pool, which was very cold, and it took a while to soak in hot water before relieving itself.

It was late at night, and she came out of the shower wearing only her bedclothes.

Cicada Yi looked at her left and right, "The girl only wears bedclothes......" Before she finished speaking, she didn't know what she understood, nodded again and again, and under the puzzled gaze of the chi, she helped her sit in front of the makeup mirror, and said distressedly: "In the middle of the night, the girl came in a hurry, and there is nothing here...... Don't say rouge gouache, there is no good-looking hairpin! ”

Rank Chi looked at her and sighed. Really.

Cicada Yi obviously made a mistake again, and immediately comforted her: "But the girl was born like a fairy, and she doesn't need those mundane things to look good!" What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come over in a while and arrange the girl, and he will definitely reward the girl. ”

Rank Chi patted her hand, "You don't have to go through so much trouble. It's not early today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has drunk wine during the banquet, so he should go back and have a good rest. We're waiting for tomorrow. ”

According to the previous life, the things that Cicada Yi worries about are very redundant - Ning Xun will not come at all tonight, and there will be no serious arrangements for her in the future, so she will stay in the East Palace as a dancing girl for no reason, but there are no restrictions and she is very free.

But there are a lot of rewards, and for any reason, he will reward her with things.

If the weather is good, he will be rewarded if the weather is bad, he will be rewarded when he is in a good mood, and he will be rewarded when he is not happy. The objects that should be in season were sent to her like water, showing the prince's pampering of her.

At first, the palace people would secretly smack their tongues and secretly discuss her unclear identity, but later saw that the prince was very pampered by her, and no one cared about her identity as a dancing queen anymore.

As soon as the words came out, Cicada Yi seemed to be deflated, and responded with a low "yes". After a day of running around the pool, he was already sleepy, so he untied his hair in front of the makeup mirror, and beckoned Cicada Yi to go to sleep too.

Cicada Yi made the bed for her, but when it was time to turn off the lights, she was struggling to look out as if she was unwilling.

Holding the thick and warm brocade, he knew that it would be useless for her to wait, but he didn't rush her, he just turned over and turned his back to the candle.

It was to wait for her to hear the cicada clothes salute in surprise and joy: "Your Highness! Before he could react.

Rank Chi sat up from the couch with a "rub", turned around in disbelief, and when she really saw Ning Xun's python robe, she got off the couch and saluted, "Folk girl Song Rank Pool, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Cicada Yi had already retreated with her eyes, and there were only two people left in the room for a while.
