Qingchuan History

chapter 21
Ruan Xueyin doesn't know much about these things between men and women.But the ups and downs of Duan Xirun's expression in just a few sentences are enough to show his admiration.Thinking of Gu Xinglang standing by the jasmine garden in the wind and dew at midnight, she felt a little emotional.

Maybe everything in this world, no matter the so-called family, country or fate, is just a chasing game.Everyone is in their own place and walks their own way, which is enough to form a perfect closed loop.As for whether it is fair or not, people in the game never care about it. The so-called willingness to gamble and admit defeat, the authorities are confused.

"Perhaps Jun Shang is not a person who loves singing and dancing. To be able to appreciate you with a smile every time is already showing love for you. I seldom see him, so I don't know much about him. But I think people always really like beautiful people, things, and things. .”

Duan Xirun nodded.One of the reasons why she came to Zhexue Temple today was that Ruan Xueyin was not favored, and based on her limited knowledge, the other party probably did not intend to invite favor.Then I come to ask for help, including saying what I just said, and the other party will not mind.

Hearing what Ruan Xueyin said at this moment, she felt more relieved, and said with a smile:
"I came here today because I want to ask my sister to move to my Temple of Harvesting Dew, and give me some suggestions for the dance I prepare for the Tianchang Festival night banquet."

Ruan Xueyin was stunned at first, and then laughed, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. I think you've heard that I entered Pengxi Mountain when I was four years old, and I started reading and stargazing with my teacher. I read a lot, but I really don't know anything about singing and dancing. of."

She didn't understand why Duan Xirun asked her for help.Even if you look for Ji Wanling, she is a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, even if she is not good at dancing, she is better than herself.

Duan Xirun didn't take it seriously, and said sincerely: "Madam Yu has never been in contact with people, I am too embarrassed to bother you. Sister Jin is high-minded and wants to be the best at this night banquet. Although she and I often communicate with each other on weekdays, It's good to get along, but at a time like this, after all, people are also focused on their own affairs and have no time to take care of me."

She took a sip of tea and continued to talk:

"I know that my sister doesn't have much contact with people, but when I saw my sister at the April Palace Banquet, I always felt that you were a good person to get along with. Besides, as the fourth wife in Qi Palace, only you and I were born as princesses. Thinking about it is also a fate."

Ruan Xueyin smiled and said, "My princess is just famous."

Duan Xirun was serious: "Even though my sister doesn't live in the palace, or she's not good at singing and dancing, but you have read all the books in the world with Master Ji Ji, and your knowledge is definitely far higher than mine. And my sister basically doesn't watch palace dances, so I don't think so." I am so bound by the rules. I always feel that Sister Pei can give me some ingenious advice."

This is quite reasonable.Ruan Xueyin was grateful that she came today by coincidence, and she came well. Hearing her sincere words this time, she felt that it was not impossible for her to help.It's just watching people dance, giving advice, and doing nothing.

Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered something:
"Because of my status, even the emperor is far away from me. You don't care at all?"

Duan Xirun didn't seem to expect her to ask such a question, he was stunned and said:
"My sister may not believe it. Before I came to Jidu, there happened to be news that Yin Kingdom sent my sister here. Although I know little about world affairs, I know that Yin Kingdom has been restless for the past two years, and my sister is from Pengxi Mountain. For this reason, I made a special trip to ask my father what he meant. But my father told me that there is no conclusion about why my sister came here. And if there is anything, it is not my fault. Let me just live happily and serve you well Just go up."

Among the four kingdoms, the Bai kingdom is the least ambitious. It has been on good terms with all three kingdoms for many years.These words are indeed in line with the methods of Bai Jun in the past dynasties.And she somehow felt that Mr. Bai should love this daughter very much.

"When is Madam Jane going to let me watch the dance?"

Duan Xirun was overjoyed, "I wonder if my sister is free at the moment?"

Roses are planted all over the Hall of Harvesting Dew. As far as the eye can see, there are no less than [-] varieties and colors of roses, blooming in full bloom in the soft sunlight that has begun in Shenshi.In addition to those that grow scattered in the courtyard according to the layout, there are also large clusters of flowers hanging down on the wall, and the whole Temple of Harvesting Dew is like a kingdom of roses.

Yunxi was dumbfounded, thinking that although the Zhexue Palace is full of exotic flowers and plants, but because the plants are sparsely planted and there is a lot of white space, the beauty is more beautiful, and it is cooler after all.This Temple of Harvesting Dew is really like a bustling world full of flowers, which makes people feel secular and warm at first sight.

Duan Xirun noticed Yunxi's expression, and said a little embarrassedly: "I entered the palace in winter, and the court was bleak, and I'm not used to it. When your majesty knew about it, he asked me what flowers I like, and he ordered people to find more flowers. When spring and summer arrive, there will be more colors."

When she said this, her cheeks blushed again, and her voice was much softer, so that Ruan Xueyin found it sweet for no reason.

The four seasons of Bai Country are like spring, with flowers blooming all year round, so she is naturally not used to the winter in Jidu.I just don't know how sincere Gu Xinglang is to her. After all, there is another childhood sweetheart who has been in love with her for many years and can't ask for it, living in Pishuang Palace.

She was thinking about herself when she was suddenly interrupted by a series of footsteps. She turned around and saw that a group of more than a dozen people were holding different instruments in their hands, and they were all in place in an instant.At some point in the middle of the courtyard, a small tea table has been set up, with snacks and fruits on it.

"Sister, please sit down. Xirun made a fool of herself."

It was only then that Ruan Xueyin noticed that her lotus root pink dress was different from everyday palace dresses, the material was very light and elegant, and could be blown up by the wind with a slight turn around.When the movement is small, nothing can be seen, but once it takes a big step or spins, the hem of the skirt is very large, layer upon layer, each layer is covered with different shades of powder, really like a rose in full bloom.

The garden is full of roses, and the most beautiful one is dancing among them.The picture is really eye-catching, Ruan Xueyin rests her chin on her right hand, and her eyes follow the dancer's every movement change.

Yun Xi was looking at her.

Whenever Ruan Xueyin thinks about something seriously, or concentrates on something, she will be like this, with her right hand resting on her right cheek, and she sits obliquely, three points lazy, three points indifferent, with a strong sense of being out of the world, as if she doesn't belong here at all. Not of the moment.

This picture has remained in her memory for many years.

At this time, the other party was concentrating on Duan Xirun, his face was calm, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

There are beauties in the southern country, dancing with a light green waist.The low back lotus breaks the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind. (Note)
Ruan Xueyin seldom watched people dance. She used to go back to Yin Palace during festivals, and occasionally attended palace banquets, but she was absent-minded and had little interest.Being entrusted by someone today, she naturally had to watch carefully, and she found that watching Duan Xirun dance was very enjoyable, not as difficult as attending palace banquets before.

Then she remembered these four lines of poetry.
