The music rose higher and higher, Tan Baolu raised her right hand and spun it quickly on the ice, her slender and stretched arms were delicately lifted to the top of her head, her slender neck, delicate collarbones, and soft back formed an elegant arc in the bright moonlight.

The wide skirt swayed along with the dance steps, the thin waist was the darkest color, and the outer edge of the skirt was the lightest color, like a fiery red camellia, Huo Ran bloomed on the ice, fiery red and delicate.

He Dongyan was almost stunned, he thought that the dragon chair was too far away from the platform, so that he could not see it well enough, and he desperately stretched his neck forward, and most of his butt left the dragon chair.

Greedy eyes salivated and glued to Tan Baolu's waist and shoulders.

Following the crisp bells tinkling around the thin waist, the delicate little feet that kept jumping and jumping on the ice.

He Dongyan is so gaffe, and the others are not much better.

On his left and right sat Concubine Hui Zhou Wan'er and Concubine Yue Fang Yuehua.

Among the harem concubines, Concubine Shuhui has the highest status. She was pointed out to him by He Dongyan's mother when she was still alive, she was beautiful and elegant, skillful and gentle, kind to people, and quite a mother's demeanor.

And the moon concubine Fang Yuehua is the most favored, she is Hedong who passed through Fengyue Land and was attracted by the singing, and she is good at singing and dancing.

Seeing that Tan Baolu danced, He Dongyan was fascinated, and Fang Yuehua's face became more and more ugly.

She fiddled with her long nails and said coldly, "I see, this dance is nothing more than that." ”

He Dongyan tied all his body and mind to Tan Baolu at this time, and coaxed perfunctorily: "What are you angry about, next time you will also dance for me, and you will also be on this ice, okay?" ”

Looking at the small round mirror made of thin ice on the stage, Fang Yuehua closed her mouth in disdain.

Although no matter how demeaning it is, Fang Yuehua admires Bao Lu a little in her heart.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The others have never danced, but they only know that Tan Baolu dances beautifully, and she has learned to dance since she was a child, and she knows how much effort it takes to practice her body so softly and make her movements so freely.

If you want to dance on the ice, you need to be slender and soft, and you need to be able to jump on the ice continuously, which is a double test of body and skill.

She could only comfort herself, even if she danced like this, she deliberately wore a veil, and her face must be far inferior to her.

The soft red veil covered the cheeks of the beauties on the stage, and only a pair of eyes were outside the red veil.

Those eyes were as black as paint, covered with a layer of sparkling mist, looking forward to shining brightly, bright and moving.

Wanting to cover up and be ashamed is more fatal to men.

The more this veil is covered, the more the men scratch their hearts and livers to wonder if the face hidden under the light veil is as thrilling as this beautiful eye.

Fang Yuehua glanced at Tan Wei during the banquet, and said: "What's so beautiful about masked dancing, I don't think Tan Wei and his family are very good-looking, where can this Tan family's daughter go?" ”

Xu Yu, who was waiting on the side, leaned over and replied: "Huiyue Concubine Niangniang, this Tan San Girl is from the third lady who married Lord Tan." Talking about the third lady Xin, she was famous for her beauty back then. ”

When He Dongyan heard this, he was even more overjoyed and continued to watch with great interest.

"Shh Fang Yuehua pursed her lips angrily.

Concubine Hui on the other side was not interested in dancing, she looked at it for a while, then turned her head and whispered to Xu Yu behind her.

Xu Yu bowed down and asked, "Concubine Hui Niangniang commands." ”

Concubine Hui said: "Later, this little lady will finish dancing and give her a stove to warm her feet." Stepping on the ice on a cold day, I feel cold when I look at it. ”

Xu Yu leaned over and listened carefully, and said, "Niangniang has a good heart, and the slave obeys orders." ”

Xu Yu glanced at Concubine Hui's hand, and asked softly, "Does Niangniang feel cold?" The slave took the cloak for the mother. ”

"No need." Concubine Hui picked up a piece of lotus cake, and then changed her words and said, "If you want to take it, you can wear it!" ”

The corners of Xu Yu's mouth hooked up a smile, and this time this smile jumped into his eyes, from the bottom of his heart. He said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Mother, the slave doesn't feel cold. ”

Concubine Hui laughed and said, "Then let's continue watching." ”

The audience was fascinated.

When everyone watched the dance, only Cen Jianan did not squint and looked lazy.

Occasionally, officials came over to report to him on recent military and political affairs.

"Most of the barbarians have disguised themselves as Han Chinese, most of them come by sea, and recently they have set up more people at the city gate to check ......"

"There are some forks in the excavation of Dayu Ridge Road, and a batch of funds are missing......"

Cen Jianan listened to the side, his pale fingertips rubbing the jade wrench on his thumb, and tapped lightly on the armrest of the circle chair.

Occasionally, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the official who reported immediately received the order to do it.

Occasionally, his eyes were slightly closed, and his head was slightly raised back, as long as he saw this action, the official who was in charge immediately broke out in a cold sweat, which meant that he had messed up, and he would go down to be punished.

As he was talking, a sudden evening breeze blew, and a light red veil drifted into the wind like a flag.

The audience suddenly let out a low exclamation.

Even the officials who were paying homage to Cen Canaan were stuck for a moment and stared blankly in the direction of the ice.

The veil goes away with the wind, and the true face under the veil comes to the surface.

The dark clouds are the sideburns, the white jade is the bones, a palm-sized goose egg face is as full as the full moon, the goose gall Qiong nose is small and exquisite, and the delicate red lips are as tender as peach blossoms. What's even more ingenious is that there is a small mole on the white left cheek. This small dot may be a drop of ink star accidentally dropped by Nuwa when she created a human being, giving the finishing touch to this face, delicate and elegant, and extraordinary, like a natural immortal entering the mortal world.

He Dongyan let out a deep groan.

Xu Yu glanced at He Dongyan and quietly retreated.

He walked over to Tan Wei and said with a smile: "Lord Tan, you are lucky tonight." ”

When Tan Baolu was dancing, Tan Wei had been drinking nervously, and suddenly saw Xu Yu coming, he hurriedly got up, and his back hit the desk, making a muffled sound of "bang". He supported his waist with one hand, held the table with the other, and his blackened cheeks glowed with joy, "Grandpa Xu, it's really funny!" ”

Although Xu Yu is a eunuch, the red people around the emperor must not be offended.

Xu Yu pursed his lips and laughed, arched his hand in vain, and said, "What kind of gift do you have with the adult, and you will rely more on the care of the adult in the future." ”

As soon as he heard the meaning of Xu Yu's words, Tan Wei understood that he would not leave ten tonight.

He laughed excitedly, waved his hand, and said with anticipation: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

"What's not to dare to do with this?" Xu Yu paused and ordered: "After this banquet is over, there is no need to send Miss Tan back to the house." ”

Xu Yu didn't break the words, but Tan Wei was looking forward to this thing, how could he not understand, he immediately smiled, and said again and again: "Okay, good, all listen to Grandpa Xu's arrangement." ”

"Congratulations to Mr. Tan." The colleague who talked about Wei said with a smile.

"No, I really admire Lord Tan! To each his own life! Some people rely on their sons to fight the world, and some people rely on their daughters to be big officials, isn't this the truth? ”

Tan Wei was sarcastically ridiculed and didn't take it seriously, saying: "That's the truth!" The grace of parenting is greater than the sky, give children the opportunity to be filial piety, and children can't ask for it! ”

On stage, Tan Baolu suddenly felt that her cheeks were cold by the evening breeze, she subconsciously raised her head, and saw that her veil had drifted into the evening breeze.

Her heart sank suddenly, and she glanced at the stage, right in front of He Dongyan's eyes looking at her black hole.

These eyes looked at her as burning as they had been in the previous life.

He Dongyan is extremely moody, cold-blooded when he hates, and he can love people to the bone when he loves.

In the last life, when He Dongyan looked at her like this, she was imprisoned in the harem and did not see the light of day.

Her heart was beating fast, was she going to repeat the mistakes of the past?

The voice of the silk bamboo became higher and higher, and her spin became faster and faster.

She continued to dance and spin on the ice, raising her arms above her head, looking up at her shoulders and neck to look into her fingertips.

As the music was about to end, Tan Baolu put her mind down, didn't do it, didn't stop doing it, and kicked her feet violently to the ice.

As soon as I heard the sound, the thin ice suddenly burst, and the broken ice was sprinkled like a moonlight.

The music stopped abruptly at the highest point, and Tan Baolu knelt on the broken ice, her forehead pressed against the back of her hand.

It is a great sin to lose honor before the saints!

A moment ago, Tan Wei, who thought that he was about to ascend to heaven, turned pale, "It's over, it's over...... he muttered to himself.

Fang Yuehua breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed.

On the one hand, she was very sorry that the little woman had lost face in front of the saint.

It's a good dance, but it's a shame to take this last step.

However, how could this little woman make a mistake?

She clearly practiced so smoothly.

The only explanation is that it was intentional.

But how could anyone dare to do this deliberately at the emperor's birthday banquet? Is this not wanting to live anymore?

Tan Baolu knelt on the ice, her feet were already frozen red, the broken ice picks pierced her instep, turning into a little blood, she was also unconscious, she just hoped that He Dongyan would be disappointed.

He Dongyan was immersed in the graceful dance just now, and did not withdraw his senses.

Although He Dongyan regretted that this dance failed, what he appreciated was not this dance for a long time, but the beauty's face and figure, but it was just a small mistake of stepping through the mirror, which was harmless.

"No ......" He Dongyan was about to speak, when Cen Jianan actually got up from his seat.

Cen Jianan got together, and He Dongyan immediately paused.

Others also thought that Cen Jianan was disappointed and wanted to leave the table.

The Praetorian Guards also lined up to escort Cen Canaan away at any time.

Tan Baolu lowered her head and listened to the sounds around her, and she could hear the sound of the fabric falling to the ground and gently brushing from the armrest of the circle chair when Cen Jianan got up.

She involuntarily clenched her fingers.

She was constantly adding variables to the beginning of her previous life's fate.

Untie your waist, put on your mask, and step through the ice.

But the only variable she can't control among these variables is Cen Canaan.

She didn't know why Cen Canaan was here.

She didn't know what Cen Canaan was going to do to her.

She listened to the beating of her heart in her chest and waited quietly.

After Cen Canaan got up, he did not turn away, but walked towards the broken ice.

Then, leaning over and picking up the little dancing shoe that had fallen to the ground.
