Zhuyan slowly assumed the same posture as in the beginning.
The pipa played.
Slowly at first, then gradually accelerated and passionately...
When the tune speeds up, there are many places where you have to stand on one foot to spin or jump, and it's easy to lose your balance when you stop.
Zhuyan desperately tried to keep up with the music, but when the music suddenly sped up, she tripped and fell to the ground.
"...That's enough, that's it."
After Chen Shaowu finished speaking with a sigh, the sound of the pipa stopped.
"Okay, Zhuyan, let's stop here for the 'Snow Moon Wind Flower'. Your father once asked me to let you learn the 'Snow Moon Wind Flower', but now it seems that it is not the time yet."
"..."
"If you still want to learn, you can speak at any time. Well, that's it for today."
Chen Shaowu walked out of the hall, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
...I only watched half of it.
Only Shui Xinyuan felt disappointed.
"I'll also learn 'Snow Moon Wind Flower'."
His tone was as if he was talking to himself, but the volume was a bit too loud for the volume he was talking to himself.
Everyone looked at the speaker at the same time.
"Oh, can you do it? Yao'er?"
Before she even regained her breath, Zhuyan's cheeks twitched slightly and she looked at the speaker with sharp eyes.
"How can you know if you don't learn? Since Pearl Swallow can dance half of it, I should be almost the same."
Wearing a gorgeous outfit that is not inferior to that of Zhu Yan, Yao'er stares back at Zhu Yan with a smile on her face.
"Huh? Is that so... In the eyes of onlookers, is this dance that simple?"
"No, no, no, that's not the case. It's just that everyone who dances should want to learn to watch 'Snow Moon, Wind and Flowers', don't you think so?"
"Hey...if I don't let you try it, I'm afraid you will only tell lies."
At first glance, the two women looked smiling, but in fact they were staring at each other with terrifying eyes.
The other court ladies looked back and forth between the two of them awkwardly.
The banquet was already yesterday, and the rumor that His Highness Fusu fell in love with them at first sight came out of nowhere.
But even without that incident, the two had already disliked each other a long time ago, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
...Things don't look good.
No one noticed that Shui Xinyuan just stood far away in fear, looking at Zhuyan and Yaoer who were about to bite each other.
"Hey, are you insulting Zhuyan's dancing skills?"
"What! I just wanted to talk about you..."
In the end, Zhuyan and Yaoer, as well as their respective sisters, all joined in the dispute.
Normally after practice, everyone would immediately return to the room to wipe away the sweat, but now they couldn't leave because of the quarrel, so Qing'er pulled Shui Xinyuan's sleeves and whispered in her ear: "Shui Xinyuan, if you continue reading,
, but it will never end.”
"Ah, that's right..."
Shui Xinyuan and Qing'er went around the human wall and planned to sneak out.
"very scary……"
"Is it necessary to be so tense just to become a concubine?"
"...Qing'er, are you not interested in that kind of thing?"
"No, becoming a concubine will only cause trouble."
When it comes to such things, Qing'er is very open-minded.
"Then, the same goes for Fu...His Royal Highness?"
Shui Xinyuan's voice was a little excited, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Qing'er just glanced at Shui Xinyuan and replied impatiently: "I'm not interested. His Royal Highness looks okay, but he's not my type."
"Well enough……"
Just?
"Which one does Shui Xinyuan like?"
"What?"
Shui Xinyuan stopped unconsciously. Qing'er didn't notice it and kept walking forward. After walking for a long time, he turned back.
"Why did you stop?"
"Ah ah ah, yes, I'm sorry..."
"My face is so red! I just asked you which type you like. You are exaggerating!"
"I was shocked..."
After catching up with Qing'er at a trot, the two walked side by side again.
"I haven't thought about... what kind of person is good..."
"Ah, it seems that you are not interested in this kind of thing."
Qing'er took it upon herself to agree with her own answer.
In fact, Shui Xinyuan has always only wanted to land Fusu and has never considered anyone else.
"Okay, hurry up, we have to take a shower before everyone comes back."
"Hmm... Ah, Qing'er, I have something to ask you... Can you lend me a belt later? It's yellow. I'll return it to you tomorrow..."
"It's good, but it's really rare. What are you going to use it for?"
"Tie it around your waist..."
"Of course the belt is used to tie around the waist. Isn't this nonsense..."
Shui Xinyuan didn't speak, so Qing'er didn't ask any more questions.
Tonight is the full moon.
Shui Xinyuan put on the light pink wide-sleeved clothes he got from his retired senior, and tied on the yellow belt he borrowed from Qing'er.
Carefully tie up your well-washed hair, insert the only hairpin, put a peach-colored thin shawl on your shoulders, and put a little vermilion on your lips.
The moon has risen...
Everyone in the dormitory was asleep, and the only sound of the breeze disturbing the trees was heard.
Shui Xinyuan quietly left the room and walked outside, being careful not to make any footsteps.
The full moon in spring is not blocked by clouds and emits a hazy silver light.
Shui Xinyuan ran with his clothes flying, his brisk footsteps could barely hear the sound of his shoes, which did not hinder the tranquility of the night.
The road has already been memorized.
Shui Xinyuan had walked this half of the road several times in the past three years when she was wandering that night and walked under his escort.
Because of nostalgia, my feet can't help but come nearby.
But no one can enter that garden without the permission of the owner.
If you continue going down, you will be discovered by the Forbidden Army...
Shui Xinyuan stopped at the break of the wall. On the other side of the wall was the garden. As long as he looked up, he could see the roof of Donghe Hall.
This is not a place where she can appear at will.
After hesitating for a long time, Shui Xinyuan quietly peeked at the door from the darkness of the wall.
Someone is standing there.
I originally thought it was the Imperial Guards, but that person did not stand still like the guards. Instead, he folded his arms and leaned against the wall, looking up at the moon.
"ah……"
Shui Xinyuan couldn't help but scream, and the man turned his head.
"Is it the water girl?"
"Yes, it is……"
"Come out! I've told the others to leave, it doesn't matter."
"good……"
Shui Xinyuan appeared in the moonlight tremblingly, and Lu Fusu took the initiative to approach her.
"Sorry, I came so late..."
"That's not the case. You are really here."
"Um……"
Under the guidance of Lu Fusu, Shui Xinyuan walked through the gate and walked into the garden.
The scenery there is the same as in my memory.
The flowing water, ponds, flowers and plants, even the plum tree with its branches broken off, remained unchanged.
"do you remember?"
"Remember……"
Shui Xinyuan clenched his trembling hands.
Seeing Shui Xinyuan like this, Lu Fusu slowly walked forward with a smile.
