Qingchuan History

Chapter 22 Seems to be an old friend

"My sister still said she doesn't know how to dance, but Xi Run just danced, and it was the green waist dance."

After the dance was over, Duan Xirun blushed slightly, calmed down a little and went to the small table, took a sip of tea from the servant girl.

"I really didn't know it was a green-waisted dance. I think it's because you danced well that you can be so close to the picture in the poem."

Duan Xirun showed her face, and immediately shook her head, "I once danced this green waist dance for your lord, and your lord agreed." She frowned slightly, feeling quite disappointed, "but it's all there."

Ruan Xueyin naturally didn't know about Gu Xinglang's preferences, but since he fell in love with girls like Ji Wanling, he must be really interested in singing and dancing.

"In terms of dance, I know very little. However, whether it is dance, music, or even poetry, if you want to be brilliant, you can't escape the ups and downs and rhythms. The dance you made just now, the body, posture, and harmony with the music , are impeccable in my opinion.”

she paused,
"But it seems to be flatter?"

She wasn't sure either, so she just said it out of the blue.Duan Xirun listened seriously and nodded,
"My sister is right. I have been praised for my talent since I was a child, and I have been practicing dancing wholeheartedly since I was four years old. The teacher is a well-known master in our Bai country, and has been in charge of singing and dancing in the palace for many years. The teacher often said that compared with folk singing and dancing , what I have learned is the most orthodox."

She raised her eyes to the south, as if she could see Yunshui City, which is the capital of Bai Kingdom,
"But maybe it is true as my sister said, Jun Shang was born and raised in the Daqi royal family, and he has seen a lot of the best singing and dancing since he was a child. No matter how good I dance, to him, it is at best better than what he has seen in the past , not to mention surprise, let alone amazing."

She looks back,
"Perhaps, I should use more narrative methods for this dance. Your Majesty has read thousands of volumes, and there are thousands of good stories in this world in his mind, so it must be more sympathetic. It's just," she showed embarrassment ,

"The banquet is coming, I have been practicing this dance for more than a month, the soundtrack can't be changed, and the choreography can't stand up to the big changes, how can I embed a story into it, so that the dance can be ups and downs?"

Both of them were silent for a moment, before they could discuss any further, a servant girl ran over from the entrance of the hall:

"Madam, Madam Jin is here."

Duan Xirun was quite surprised, she lowered her head and straightened her dress, "Please come in quickly." Then she turned to Ruan Xueyin,

"Speaking of which, Sister Jin and I have been busy rehearsing recently, and we haven't seen each other for more than half a month."

Ruan Xueyin was suddenly a little apprehensive.

When we met at the first palace banquet, I didn't really think much of it.After meeting by chance in the June Snow Corridor last time, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

About Shangguan Concubine.

It's not that he feels that the other party is hindering his mission to come to Qi Palace, it's just——

There seemed to be something about her that she was very familiar with.And whether that thing is a real thing, she is still not sure.

Just a feeling.Hidden familiarity.

And she should doubt her skin color and scars from the beginning to the end, just rely on the answer in the corridor that evening.

Jingting Song may have really said that.This outspoken girl.

For a while, the mind will fly.

She told herself to calm down.

Leaving aside other things, let's see how Shangguan concubine reacts when she sees her. If she can pass her level, the Tianlong Festival night banquet will be easy to talk about.

While thinking about it, I only heard a sweet and waxy voice from far to near, mixed with the fragrance of roses in the courtyard, the words floated over clearly:
"Run'er is really hardworking. It's still hot at this hour, and it can't stop you from practicing dance. Yo, this is—"

After stepping into the gate of the palace, she saw a woman in a court skirt from a distance. Gu Chunfeng first jumped out of her mind, and then Ji Wanling.Until he got close to him, he still couldn't recognize it.

until this time.

The voice suddenly stops, there are ups and downs.

Like Duan Xirun earlier, her eyes widened.

Immediately back to normal.

There was a marked silence.

Shangguan concubine was the one who spoke first, "Madam Pei is here too."

"Sister Jin is so calm! I kept silent on purpose, just waiting to scare you. Or have you met Sister Pei recently?"

"What is Run'er talking about?" She smiled, "It's not the first time we've seen Sister Pei, so why are you so surprised?"

And to Ruan Xueyin, "Since the last time I met in the corridor, I was able to talk to my sister, and I felt that my sister's complexion was strange, not natural. It's just that my sister didn't say anything, and my sister was too embarrassed to ask. Now it seems that there is a reason. "

As she spoke, she exaggeratedly turned her head and looked at the other person's left cheek, "The scars have also faded, as if they had never been seen before."

Ruan Xueyin watched her reaction and did not rush to speak.Duan Xirun said excitedly: "I went to Zhexue Temple today, but I didn't realize it at first, so it turns out—"

Then he recounted what Ruan Xueyin said earlier with great emotion.

Shangguan concubine remained calm the whole time.It seemed that she had been prepared for such a story, and that no matter what kind of story she heard at this time, she would accept it as it was ordered. "Sister Pei is very human."

This is not easy to answer.Can't pick up either.Ruan Xueyin smiled lightly.

The scene was weird, Duan Xirun blinked, thought for a while and said:
"We all came from thousands of miles to marry into the Qi Palace. We should have walked around a lot and took care of each other. It's rare that there are so many people today. The two sisters don't dislike them. While the sun is still good, let's have some snacks at Runer's place and stay a little longer."

Shangguan concubine agreed in a pretty voice, quite interested.Ruan Xueyin was inconvenient to say that she wanted to leave immediately, so she just nodded and sat down again.The moment Shangguan concubine walked past——

Her heart skipped a beat.

This is it.

I don't know why I am familiar with it.

She failed to catch it last time.

this smell.

Even if it is almost covered by the strong fragrance of roses that exists at the same time.Even if the rose tone is so strong that it is almost deliberate.

She still smelled it.

It's actually very similar to the smell of the teacher.The smell of the mixture of nearly a hundred kinds of medicinal materials is very faint, even if you are close to you, if you are not sensitive to the smell, you will not be able to smell it.In particular, it is also confused by the aroma of roses.

She and Jing Tingge also had this smell in Pengxi Mountain before.But they take turns to accompany the teacher to take care of the medicine garden, one person for a day, so the smell on their bodies is extremely light.I have been in Ji for nearly four months, and the scent of orange blossom that I usually use is very recognizable, and the smell of medicine has long since disappeared from my body.

And the teacher has been planting and manufacturing medicine for at least 30 years, so that the smell of herbs penetrates into the skin and lasts all year round.

Shangguan Concubine comes from a family, so she also studies medicine?Although this smell is very light, it is indeed lighter than that of the teacher, but it must be absorbed for at least ten years.

If not.Did she just emerge from a pile of herbs this morning?
Will there be a medicine garden in the Temple of Boiled Rain?
