Dai Xiao, who was performing a small role for the theater troupe, heard the praises from the crowd. She proudly stopped what she was doing and stood on the side of the stage, watching secretly.
The child who was praised was her daughter. She was young but she was a famous actor in the troupe. Many customers hired her because of this child. She could learn to sing and sing with ease. She was much better than the adults.
The class teacher said that if he grows up, he will definitely be a famous actor in the world.
Suddenly, Dai Xiao felt a strong gaze on her body. It was so dazzling and so familiar.
Dai Xiao couldn't help but shiver. She looked up and saw Ximenzhe on the other side, who was waiting to exchange tokens with Li Xueyun. His eyes seemed to glance at her inadvertently, or maybe they weren't looking at her at all.
However, the light that she just touched made Dai Xiao’s heart beat uncontrollably. It seemed as if she instantly returned to the light rain five years ago.[
Dai Xiao wanted to hold down her pounding heart, but in a panic, she raised her hand and knocked over a stick used for acting that was leaning beside her. The stick fell to the ground and hit a flowerpot placed against the wall. "Bang."
"With a sound, the flower pot shattered. Broken porcelain pieces, soil and injured flowers were scattered on the ground.
At this time, just as the first part of the opera was being sung, it was quiet. The sound of smashing was very loud. Everyone looked over.
"Ah, me." Dai Xiao looked at the mess on the ground at a loss. There was only one voice buzzing in her mind. She was in chaos at the engagement ceremony of King Xi.
"What's going on?" The class leader on the side was also stunned.
Ximenzhe walked towards Dai Xiao without making a sound. He pursed his lips tightly and had a calm expression. He could not tell whether he was angry or not.
Lin Chujiu quickly squatted down and dug at the messy ground with his hands.
The mess was mixed with broken porcelain pieces from the flowerpot, which scratched her palms.
"His." Pain.
Dai knew she had no choice but to stop and cover the wound.
Ximenzhe stood in front of Dai Xiao, bowing his head to the man squatting on the ground, without saying a word.
This woman's appearance is very special. Apart from her panicked expression, her face is the biggest difference from others.
There seemed to be a scar or something on her face. An irregular piece of cowhide covered half of her face. Tie the corners with a string and tie it tightly around her head to ensure it would not fall off.
"You ugly woman, you want to kill me." The class leader next to me cried sadly and couldn't help but blame. She has offended King Xi. Even if she is punished again, she cannot make up for this crime. She is most afraid of implicating everyone.
.
"Your Majesty." Lin Chujiu covered his injured right hand and stood up. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Please don't punish the class leader and the others."
"If you don't punish them, you alone will bear all the responsibility." Ximenzhe raised his hand and lifted Lin Chujiu's chin. His clasped fingers seemed to crush her chin. Everyone could clearly see that Xi Wang
Angry.
"Your Majesty, she just broke a flower pot. She didn't mean it. Don't ruin everyone's happiness on our engagement day." Li Xueyun hurried over and said.
She is well-known for her kindness. She is undoubtedly praised by everyone for saying this.
But Li Xueyun herself knew her true intention of coming forward. She had waited for five years for such a result. Even though it was an engagement, it was of great significance. It was the first step for her to become the princess of Zhunxi from the prime minister's house. Although she was also angry with this ugly woman.
There was trouble. But she always hoped that the engagement ceremony could go smoothly.
"I have said that I want to show my sincerity and follow all the rules. This woman really doesn't know what is good or bad." Ximenzhe refused to give up. He said in a loud voice.[
"Don't bully my mother." I don't know when Dai Xiaodie ran out from the backstage. She raised her hand and walked towards Ximenzhe. She tried with all her strength to pull Ximenzhe's hand away from Dai Xiao's chin.
But his strength was much smaller than that of Ximen Zhe. Instead, his small body was pushed back and he fell to the ground.
Ximen Zhe saw that the little girl in costume fell, and his hand that was holding Dai Xiao loosened.
"Xiaodie." Dai Xiao cried out distressedly. She quickly stepped forward to pull Xiaodie up and made sure she was okay before she felt relieved.
"Mom." Xiaodie hugged Daixiao, nervously watching the blood dripping from Chujiu's palm.
At first it was just a flower pot that was broken, but now even Xiao Jiao'er is causing trouble. The good engagement ceremony has become a joke in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"My lord, this is probably their first time acting in such a big scene. They will inevitably panic. Let them go." Li Xueyun couldn't help but persuade her again.
"For Xueyun's sake, I will spare you." Ximenzhe followed Li Xueyun's words and his attitude suddenly changed. He turned to Li Xueyun. "Today's engagement is very disappointing. That's it. I will give you a perfect marriage in the future. The ceremony of accepting a concubine is the only one in this life. I will never allow any mistakes to be made again."
Dai Xiao hugged Xiaodie and curled her lips. He was really a prince who loved his wife. He was cruel to himself. Now he was talking sweetly.
"What are you still doing? Get lost." Ximenzhe glanced at Dai Xiao and shouted coldly.
Dai Xiao quickly grabbed Xiaodie and ran towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although she was told to get out, she was able to escape the disaster. She couldn't help but look back at Princess Li Xueyun of Zhunxi with gratitude.
By chance, she caught Li Xueyun's gaze. Dai Xiao was startled. She turned her head, pulled Xiao Die tightly and quickened her pace. She passed through the crowd of onlookers and ran away quickly.
The look in that woman's eyes was so terrifying. It was completely different from the way she had begged for her before. She looked as if she wanted to eat her. It was much scarier than King Xi.
Li Xueyun just met Dai Xiao's eyes. She flashed the ultimate cruelty. It was fleeting. The good engagement ceremony was ruined by her. The King of the West had already said that he would not continue. The tokens could not be exchanged. It was so grand after all the trouble. What is the significance of the betrothal ceremony? I can only wait for the grand concubine ceremony that Ximen Zhe mentioned.
This mother and daughter are really cheap.
"Mom, your hands..."
After running for a while, Xiaodie stopped. Regardless of her panting, she pulled Dai Xiao's right hand away. The blood from the wound on her palm was already stained on her little hand.
"It's okay." Dai Xiao smiled gently, took out the handkerchief and wrapped her hand. "It's just a slight scratch. It will be fine soon."
Xia Lei rumbles. The rain falls as soon as it is said to fall.
Ever since that rainy day, Dai Xiao hated rain. The rain could have washed away the stains, but it could not wash away the memory of that day.
The memory of that day was painful. It was the beginning of her five years of wandering. But because of Xiaodie, she found a hint of sweetness in the painful memories.
"Yeah, my clothes are wet." Dai Xiao said in surprise, looking at Xiao Die's costume that was soaked by the rain.[
The class leader had staked a lot of money on this costume. If something went wrong, the money would not be returned. She originally wanted to wait until she earned the money to take Xiaodie to the best restaurant in the capital for a meal. .But it’s delicious. I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat the vegetables and white rice.
