Chapter Seventeen: The Flower Dynasty-11
We changed our clothes and entered the palace one by one to the sound of the piano. First we bowed slightly to the empress and prince on the throne, and then threw off our sleeves and started dancing.
The four of us danced gracefully, our bodies were as light as swallows, our bodies were as soft as clouds, our arms were as soft as boneless, and we danced like lotus flowers step by step, like butterflies flying among flowers, like gurgling water, like the bright moon in the mountains,
Like the morning light in the alley, like the round dew on the tip of the lotus leaf, it makes people feel like drinking fine wine, making people so drunk that they can't control themselves.
He emerged from the dust like a fairy, standing proudly, as if a fairy descended to the earth, making people dare not look at him. He was dressed in a green smoked sweater, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, mist and green grass, and a thin veil of green water. His shoulders were cut into waists.
If the skin is pure, the skin is like fat and the air is blue. It is charming and boneless, and it is three points of beauty.
Suddenly, the sleeves were fluttering open, and the sleeves were dancing, as if countless petals were floating down in the sky, swaying, each petal holding strands of agarwood.
The sound of the piano became more and more intense, and the four of us danced faster and faster. Our jade-like bare hands lingered gracefully, our skirts were flying, and our pair of smoke-like watery eyes were still speechless. The flowing light was dancing, and our whole bodies were as if they were separated by mist.
The flowers are hazy and misty.
At this time, the sound of the piano gradually slowed down, and the whistle suddenly became louder. The three of them surrounded me in the middle of the flower center. I made up my mind, so I used my right foot as the axis. I gently stretched my long sleeves, and my delicate body rotated, getting faster and faster.
Quickly, they suddenly flew up from the ground. The three of them threw off their sleeves and formed a circle. They waved their jade hands and dozens of blue ribbons fluttered out. Blue waves seemed to rise in the hall. I flew to the ribbon.
On top, her slender feet are light and her clothes are fluttering, just like a fairy in Lingbo.
Applause broke out all over the hall, and voices of surprise and praise were heard endlessly.
As the sound of the piano gradually slowed down, the performance was almost over. But I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Suddenly, a hook hung on an unknown silk ribbon, and all my thin cigarette shirt was ripped off. I was startled, and fell into the hall in the air: "Ah!" I screamed in pain.
road.
If I was injured by the fall at this time, it would not be enough to surprise everyone. What is even more unspeakable is that those few silk ribbons hung up my clothes. When I fell in the middle of the hall, my clothes were disheveled and my hair was messy.
All the ladies and ladies present stood up in surprise and hid their faces shamelessly.
"What's going on?"
"Oops? Why is this happening again?"
"Now the eldest lady of the Liang family is in disgrace."
"This is because she overestimated her capabilities, and she deserves it. It really embarrasses the General's Mansion!"
"It's so pitiful to be so embarrassed in public."
Sister Ruilan saw me and quickly blocked me with her body, pulled off my clothes that were caught by the ribbon and put them on me, and said, "Put your clothes on first."
I looked at her with tears in my eyes and said, "I don't know...how..."
She frowned and looked at me solemnly and shook her head: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I must first apologize to Concubine Mei."
I was so ashamed, who could have expected that such a thing could happen.
I barely covered my body with my torn clothes, and knelt in the main hall and looked at Concubine Mei on the throne. Her eyes were also very surprised at this time. Facing the situation that I had messed up, she frowned slightly.
Brows. Princess Wangshu also looked at everything in front of her in surprise. Qi Jingqin, who was sitting in the side seat, did not look away, but still frowned.
I knelt down in the main hall and bowed down to apologize, saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
I was so scared. Although I had been naughty in the palace and had caused a lot of trouble, this was the first time I had been so embarrassed in front of the majestic royal family. Moreover, I was still a young lady who was about to marry the royal family. I couldn't stop my body.
He was trembling, and even his voice was trembling with fear.
I lowered my head and didn't dare to look at anyone, but at this time everyone's eyes were fixed on me, and the needles were shining on my back, which made me extremely uncomfortable.
Before Concubine Mei opened her mouth to speak, the Crown Princess standing next to me covered her mouth with a disdainful smile and said: "In ancient times, there was Daji and Baosi who confused the emperor, and in the previous dynasty, there were flying swallows dancing together to charm the master. I had heard about Prince Jing a long time ago.
His Highness doesn’t like you, but now you are imitating the prostitutes in a brothel and stripping off their clothes in public, deliberately doing this to arouse people’s pity. You never thought that you would be in such a mess and make everyone laugh, right?”
When she said this, everyone followed her in their thinking. As the saying goes, they are preconceived, but now I can't figure it out even if I jump into the Yellow River.
I looked up at her and said with tears in my eyes: "I didn't! It's obviously you! It's you!"
"Me? I never expected that I would kindly invite you to dance for my mother-in-law, but you would do this and end up blaming me. If this girl marries into the royal family, it will really bring disgrace to the royal family." she said.
The words are sonorous and powerful.
Concubine Mei stood up and said sternly: "Okay! What a mess you have made of a good banquet! Peiyu, as the crown princess, you indiscriminately accuse the daughter of the imperial official in public. This is disgraceful to the royal family.
! Let’s forget about today’s matter, no one is allowed to tell it! Violators will be punished!”
"yes."
"The meeting is dismissed!" Concubine Mei took Princess Wangshu away with her sleeves.
Everyone heard that Concubine Mei wanted to protect me, so they stopped talking. When they saw Concubine Mei leaving, they also got up and went back to the dormitory.
Zhao Peiyu didn't seem to care about being criticized in public. Her goal had been achieved, which was to make me look embarrassed in public. What she just said poured a basin of dirty water on me. Although Concubine Mei did not agree with this statement,
What's scary is that many people here think I have such dirty thoughts.
Zhao Peiyu and Lu Huiling knelt down and whispered in my ear: "Don't worry, we will abide by Concubine Mei's will and will never tell anyone."
I was so angry. What difference does it make if I don't tell it now? All the ladies and ladies from the noble families in the capital are here. There is no need to say it anymore, everyone has seen it with their own eyes.
I held my sleeve tightly in my hand, unable to control my temper, and wanted to argue with her, but Sister Ruilan squeezed my shoulder and said, "Please, don't be impulsive, and don't get into trouble."
Seeing how miserable I was, Lu Huiling smiled wildly and said, "Now that you want to marry Prince Jing, it's really a fool's errand!"
I calmed down for a while, then sneered: "Miss Lu is so outstanding, has Prince Jing said he would marry you?"
What I said played into her heart, making her so angry that she wanted to hit me. Zhao Peiyu quickly stopped her and said, "If you hit her, you will fall into this girl's trap. There are two emperors in her family who value her."
Minister, if you hit her, you will be in trouble."
Lu Huiling was not stupid. After some thought, she stopped, and then returned to her dormitory with Zhao Peiyu.
People were leaving the main hall one after another. Sister Ruilan tried to help me up: "How are you? Can you leave?"
At this time, I didn’t know where Yuebai had gone. I stood up with difficulty and said, "Okay."
My injury was not serious, I just sprained my foot, but every step I took was like a knife twisting, and the pain was unbearable.
"Hiss."
"If you can't leave, don't force it. Just now I asked Xiao'er to get something for me, and now I don't know where the Yuebai beside you is. Why don't you just rest here for a while, and I'll call some people?" Ruilan
When my sister saw that I was in pain, she asked with concern.
Now my clothes are ragged, so I can only cover myself temporarily. The wind is strong in Qishan Mountain, and I have difficulty moving. If I stay on the road for a long time, Sister Ruilan and I will both get sick and catch cold.
I nodded: "That's all I have to do. I'll thank you, sister, and be careful on the road."
Sister Ruilan helped me sit down and comforted me: "Sisters and you, there is no need to say thank you. Just wait here and I will come as soon as I go."
Sister Ruilan quickly picked up her skirt and ran out the door.
"Ah! Your Majesty! My daughter Qin Ruilan pays homage to Your Majesty." As soon as Sister Ruilan went out, she saw Qi Jingqin at the door of the hall.
As soon as I heard that Qi Jingqin was at the door, I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a hole and crawl in there.
"No gift."
He paused and then said: "You go back to Linhe Garden first. I will take her back."
"This..." Sister Ruilan was worried about me and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the other party was a prince, it was difficult to flatter him. Besides, we live in Taoyuan together, so it would be more convenient for us to come here. "In this case, I can help the prince."
Sister Ruilan looked back at me and said, "Qingqing, I'm leaving then."
I covered my head with my few sleeves so that I could not see anyone. When she said that, I just nodded wildly and said, "Yeah!"
After Sister Ruilan left, Qi Jingqin slowly walked towards me step by step.
He took off his cloak and put it on me. I felt warm all over my body, and I was so ashamed that I couldn't even lift my head.
He pulled off the sleeves covering my head and forced me to look up at him. Our eyes met. He looked at me for a long time and then said, "I am here to take you back."
I felt warm in my heart, with tears in my eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Someone harmed me... I am not as frivolous as the Crown Princess said... I was trapped..."
"I know." He wiped away the tears on my face and said softly, "I don't need to know you from others. Qingqing, I know what kind of person you are."
"Then Concubine Mei..."
"She knows better than me. It's just that the Crown Princess preempted the situation and made everyone think that you were that bad. We all know that you are not that kind of person."
"But...why not pursue it? Just, just let people check those ribbons and interrogate the palace officials who prepared the props. Then we can know the truth."
"Qingqing, it will not be a good outcome for you or the royal family if you go further. My mother and concubine have already defended you verbally. If the matter becomes serious and we have to picket it, it will definitely involve the previous dynasty. By then, it will not be good for anyone.
unfavorable."
I made up my mind and became sensible enough not to say anything more.
Qi Jingqin rubbed my hair and asked, "Can I leave?"
When he said this, I felt the pain coming from my ankle. I shook my head, looked at him and said, "I can't walk."
Suddenly, he picked me up and started to walk away. I struggled quickly: "What are you doing, Your Majesty? Put me down!"
