Alternate Performances of the East Palace, Section 25
Ning Xun didn't scream, she could only lie down, in front of her was the corner of his python robe, and the golden python embroidered with gold thread was lifelike.
Why did he come?
Or earlier, in the temple, why did he allow her to come close?
Chichi bit his lower lip tightly, and his mind raced.
It doesn't look different from a previous life for no reason.
In fact, the reason is also obvious - because she has seen him a long time ago in this life, and he has also seen her a long time ago, three sides.
On the first side, Huguo Temple, she sneaked into the abandoned Buddhist hall in the middle of the night, and happened to bump into him to kill people.
On the second side, Moon Snatching Fang, she somehow touched his reverse scales and was suspected by him.
On the third side, on the night of Shangyuan, she told him in person that she was about to enter the East Palace, and by mistake she pulled him to block the arrow.
These three-sided Ning Xun are very different from the memories in her previous life.
What about the one in front of you? What is the purpose of his coming here tonight?
But no matter what, it would never be known that she had seen him. He wore a mask on all three sides, and his voice changed. What's more, how could anyone dare to associate the crown prince of the dynasty who sat in the East Palace with that person?
If she hadn't lived again, she wouldn't have thought of these two people at all.
As soon as he stared, he listened to him: "Get up." β
He stood up as he spoke, and only then did he see his face clearly.
It was exactly the same as the face she rememberedβit was only at this moment that she briefly realized how familiar she was with everything about him.
He was born extremely good-looking, and he even looked like a little amorous, but for some reason, when he blocked the upper half of his face, he looked very cold.
She stood between the bed and him, a little at a loss. The room was very warm, and in order to sleep comfortably, she did not even wear a foot coat, and at this time, standing barefoot on the ground, she felt the cold air go straight into it.
Ning Xun sat on the edge of the bed by herself, saw that she was still standing still, glanced at her feet on the ground, raised her eyes and said, "Sit down." β
Before he could figure out his thoughts, he played his cards out of common sense, which made her start to doubt herself.
Could it be that she is exposed?
What if he found out that she had seen him wearing a mask?
First temptation, clichΓ©s, and then interrogation, or just kill her?
Her mind was in a mess, and she was still thinking about how to deal with it, and her body was pulled back - Ning Xun put one hand around her waist, just like when she was in the palace today, with just one force, she brought her whole person in front of her, and according to her inertia, she was placed flat on the couch.
It's all just a flash of lightning. Lying flat on the couch, with one of his arms pressed under his waist, he half-leaned over, looked directly into her eyes, as if he was exploring something, and said in a slow tone: "Are you afraid of being lonely?" Why? β
Rank Chi's heart beat like a drum in an instant, and she subconsciously clenched his robe: "Rank Chi doesn't dare." It was only the first time that he had met His Highness...... It's inevitable to be nervous. β
"Don't dare?" He chuckled meaninglessly, "Just now in the palace, I dare to see you alone." β
His tone made her feel uneasy. This tone is more like Ning Xun after putting on that half of the mask.
He was closer, and the heat close to him slowly enveloped her. Her breath was entangled, and she could smell the lingering smell of wine.
He's ...... Half in the bag?
The author has something to say:
The attitude of the people around the two is like:
Qingheng: Kill her, kill her!
Cicada Yi: him, him!

Chapter 23
β "In front of the palace, I can see the posture of His Royal Highness, and I fell in love at first sight." ββ
She didn't know what to say for a moment, just lowered her gaze, avoiding his.
As if dissatisfied with her dodge, Ning Xun's hand on her waist suddenly lifted upward, and the moment her waist took off, she subconsciously hooked the shoulder of the person in front of her. The gaze raised in the panic was caught again, and she swallowed silently.
Her hands moved faster than her brain, and when she hooked it on his shoulder, she remembered that he still had a wound on his shoulder. But to let go immediately is inevitably deliberate.
At this time, the posture of the two of them was too similar to when the arrow of Shangyuan Night was shot - he rolled her to the ground, and protected the back of her head with one hand and pressed her to the ground. That's how she was clasping his shoulders.
But is he unintentional, or is he deliberately tempting?
Unable to avoid his gaze, she simply raised her eyes slowly to meet him, biting her lip and silent for a while before speaking, as if aggrieved: "I just dared to approach His Highness in the palace, and I was also afraid." β
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to get into the eyes of His Highness."
Ning Xun chuckled lightly when she heard this, the hand around her waist relaxed, still looked at her, and said slowly: "Your dance is very good." What do you want? As much as you can, no matter what, Lone will satisfy you. β
The chichi let go of the hand that was clasping his shoulder, "Don't dare to have delusions." β
"If you don't have delusions, why do you want to stay?"
His question was too β‘β‘, and he didn't have time to think about it, looking at him with a clear gaze that seemed to be able to cut out a true heart, and after a pause, he said word by word: "In front of the palace, I can see the posture of His Royal Highness, and I fell in love at first sight." β
"Fell in love at first sight." He repeated it with a smile, as if chewing on the meaning, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Ning Xun bowed his head and leaned on the side of her neck, the distance was dangerous and ambiguous.
Sure enough, there was no scar, but there was also a shallow scar. If you don't stare closely, you can't see it.
His breath fell on her ear, close and heavy, and the pool shuddered slightly.
Knowing his temperament, he suppressed his knee-jerk reaction. Even if she said "fall in love at first sight", she didn't avoid it, her eyes were just right with three points of admiration, and she looked at him shyly and timidly.
Sure enough, the next moment he let go and sat up. She also propped herself up, "Your Highness? β
"I drank too much wine, and I forgot to come here to ask you something." Ning Xun pinched his eyebrows, leaned back, and the whole person showed a little tired and drunk when he relaxed, but the words he asked made people relax: "Peach dance, whose idea was it?" β
He is too far off tonight from his previous life.
When Ning Xun in her previous life remembered this later, she only asked painfully, who did she learn this dance from.
The question of who to learn from the Chi family had already prepared an answer for her. Tao Yao disappeared in Beijing for ten years, which is both long and short. Although the person who could dance this dance back then is long gone, I don't know where it is scattered, and I don't know how much I can remember the dance steps of ten years ago, but there is always a "coincidence" in everything.
In her previous life, she was confused by that set of arranged rhetoric, and he didn't ask any more questions.
And what he is asking now is more clearly directed, whose idea is this.
He immediately made a decision, and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness forgives your sins, yes...... Rank pool his own idea. β
She continued without giving him a chance to interrupt: "Your Highness knows, this dance is extinct. It was the courage of the pool and the self-assertion that gambled once. β
She paused, looked up at him and said, "Your Highness wants to see it." β
"This dance can't be done overnight, you gamble for the long haul. Didn't Fang Cai still say that in the palace, he fell in love with Lone at first sight? β
"Even if it's a gamble, Ben doesn't dare to think about it, just thinking that he can ask His Highness for some rewards. Until I saw His Royal Highness with my own eyes...... "She answered without leaking, and her voice was tactful but sincere, so that people naturally believed it."
In fact, if a dancing girl wants to enter the East Palace, how can she need so many reasons? She knew that even if Ning Xun had any doubts, she couldn't find anything wrong.
"Get up and speak."
Title Chi was originally engrossed in thinking about what Ning Xun would ask her next, but when she heard such an incoherent sentence, she was stunned.
It was cold on the ground, she was only wearing bedclothes, and she was barefoot, kneeling like this, and the cold air went straight to her knees.
But you can't be in a hurry, and you still have to say high-sounding words: "Your Highness Xie." Your Highness is benevolent......"
She was only halfway through her words, but she saw Ning Xun leaning over, passing one hand through the crook of her knee, lifting her one by one, and putting her on the couch.
Chi was silent and unnaturally clutched the thick blanket on the couch.
His breath was so close that it was close to his ear, as if he would kiss him as soon as he turned his head.
His abnormality made her feel restless, and she didn't know whether to get closer to him or stay away from him.
Her ease was worn out by him, and her heart was bottomless, but she really became a little nervous, passively paying attention to his small moves.
When her spirit was stretched to the extreme, Ning Xun stood up and distanced herself from her, "It's not early, you can rest here tonight." Tomorrow, someone will arrange a place for you to live. β
It's "you", that is, he won't stay at night.
Zhichi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was not too much deviation from the previous life.
She got up to see him off, but was stopped by him, and finally only made a false salute on the couch: "Congratulations to Your Highness." β
As soon as Ning Xun left with his front foot, the back foot of the cicada rushed in: "His Royal Highness is gone?!" β
"It's already so late, so naturally I have to go." Lingchi collapsed on the couch, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, her heartbeat was still like a drum, she reached out and pressed it on her heart.
Can't press it down.
She sat up and stretched out her hand towards the cicada, "Quick, pour me a glass of water, I'm thirsty." β
Cicada Yi hurriedly poured water for her, and her mouth didn't stop: "Your Highness is benevolent, the girl doesn't have to be afraid, you will know in the future." β
Benevolence?
Zhichi shook his head, took the water and drank it all in one gulp, and handed her the empty lamp: "I want more." β
Cicada Yi poured a heavy cup and comforted her: "Today is the first day, His Royal Highness values the girl, and there will definitely be a chance in the future!" β
After drinking, he returned to the couch and was tense, and his body was sore. She didn't want another opportunity like this.
When he was exposed, she always suspected that his two thin layers of camouflage would be pierced by him on the spot.
In his previous life, he was not suspicious of her, but he was much gentler than today, as long as she acted well, she should react, and you came and went, and it didn't take long to dispel his doubts. It's not right to say anything like today.
He was drunk tonight, and he had tried her, and perhaps from tomorrow onwards, he would be the same as she remembered in her previous life.
