After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Li Baoshen stiffened for a moment, but he didn't show it on his face. He complied obediently, then gave a few instructions to the young eunuch behind him, and exited the palace gate of Kunning Palace.

Gu Feiyan stood aside with her head slightly lowered.

Although Ye Qinghuai's tone of voice when speaking to Li Baoquan seemed calm, Gu Feiyan still felt that the emperor was angry with him, but he was a little calmer.

Ye Qinghuai was indeed furious when he saw those charcoal fires.

Now that there is a war on the front line, money is needed everywhere, and even she, the emperor, is scrimping on food and clothing to set an example for the whole court. But in her harem, there were extravagant behaviors like using silver wire and charcoal to warm flowers.

The queen obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

She didn't even know how expensive silver charcoal was.

In fact, she had only seen this kind of charcoal since she was a child. So much so that she thought everyone in the world had such a charcoal fire to keep warm in the cold winter.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't get angry at her.

She can't fall out with Gu Shihai now. What's more, the Queen probably didn't understand what she was angry about.

But this fire was stuck in her chest, which was really uncomfortable.

By chance, Li Baoquan came up at this time.

After Li Baoquan left, Ye Qinghuai felt much more comfortable.

She looked at Gu Feiyan who was at a loss and quickly regained her composure. She smiled at her and said, "Didn't my concubine want me to experience some unusual singing and dancing?"

Gu Feiyan was brought back to her senses by her gentle voice. She bowed to her awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, please stay in the courtyard for a while while I allow my concubine to dress up."

After saying that, she gave Yun Wei a few instructions and quickly walked into the main hall with her clothes in hand.

Yun Wei led Ye Qinghuai to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and then called the maid behind her to bring Ye Qinghuai two plates of fruit snacks and a bottle of wine.

Ye Qinghuai looked slightly surprised and asked Yunwei, "Oh? Does this dance need to be accompanied by wine?"

Yun Wei lowered her head, but could not hide the smile on her face, and said: "Your Majesty will find out later. Your Majesty has been preparing for this dance for a long time."

Seeing her showing off, Ye Qinghuai didn't ask any further questions. She sat up straight and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

Yunwei stepped away from her. Ye Qinghuai didn't notice that she was the only one left in the entire courtyard of Kunning Palace.

There are charcoal fires and blooming flowers in the courtyard, making this small courtyard very lively. Ye Qinghuai, who was dressed in black uniform, looked a little out of place in this warm courtyard. She sat there quietly, as lonely as an ancient tree.

Not long after, the sound of drums came from the main hall.

After three slow drum beats, the melodious flute sound suddenly started playing. Immediately afterwards, the crisp Yue Qin also came in.

It's a rather exotic piece of music.

At this time, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and four maids in pale pink gauze skirts walked out lightly along both sides of the door with musical instruments in their arms.

The girls stopped in front of the splendid flowerbed, lowered their eyes, and their slender jade hands fluttered on the instruments, and they sang a joyful song with rapid drum beats.

Then, a fiery red figure jumped out of the palace like a butterfly.

It is the protagonist of this dance - Gu Feiyan.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but open his eyes wide. Gu Feiyan was wearing a red dress that she had never seen before.

It was a dress made of red silk and red gauze. The red silk was like a flame wrapped around her waist and chest. The red gauze vaguely outlined the exquisite curves of her shoulders, neck and calves. That dance dress It tightly wrapped her graceful figure, changing postures as she jumped.

She also had a red butterfly hairpin on her head, and her hair was tied up with a hair tie and hung down behind her head.

As a heavy drumbeat paused, she tapped her toes and landed steadily.

Under the reflection of the candlelight and charcoal fire, her skirt also shimmered like firelight flowing and pouring to the ground.

Gu Feiyan half-raised her bright eyes, looking at Ye Qinghuai seemingly inadvertently. Her eyes were sparkling and breathtaking. Her red lips parted slightly, and she waved her sleeves and arms.

It is indeed an unusual dance.

This is a dance that would never be seen in a solemn place like the palace.

If such a dress with half-revealed shoulders appeared in the palace, it would be regarded as immoral, and even the emperor, who was an audience, would be accused of being infatuated with pleasure.

Ye Qinghuai never thought that Gu Feiyan would dance like this.

But at the same time, she finally understood why Gu Feiyan arranged so many charcoal fires in the courtyard.

Because her clothes would feel cold even if she wore them on a summer night, let alone the early winter season?

The queen has obviously been preparing for this dance for a long time. I have to say that she dances really well, with just the right amount of strength and flexibility, strong but not stiff, soft but not decadent, and pretty but not vulgar.

This was the first time Ye Qinghuai had seen such a lively dance.

It is indeed different from the step-by-step songs and dances at those banquets. This kind of dance makes people's hearts surging and their blood boiling.

Ye Qinghuai straightened his eyes.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai couldn't move his eyes away, Gu Feiyan couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth, and she started dancing even more indulgently.

Halfway through the dance, Gu Feiyan watched with a smile as Ye Qinghuai walked up to her side. She half-sat on Ye Qinghuai's lap, waved her sleeves and picked up the two jade cups filled with fine wine on the stone table, and then placed them with a smile. The wine glass was handed to Ye Qinghuai's mouth.

The warm fragrance of nephrite was in her arms, mixed with the intoxicating aroma of wine. Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but feel dizzy, and he took the wine she handed him in a daze.

The wine had a fruity aroma, which was roasted in the warmth of the courtyard and became fragrant. Just smelling it made me feel intoxicated.

Gu Feiyan freed up a hand to gently push Ye Qinghuai's shoulder, and then she left her arms, like a red butterfly jumping back. She raised the wine glass in her hand and raised her head. Drink it all in one gulp.

Then, she raised the empty wine glass to Ye Qinghuai, and the smile on her lips urged Ye Qinghuai to drink up the glass of wine in his hand.

The rapid drum beat seemed to be urging her.

Ye Qinghuai smiled softly at Gu Feiyan, then glanced sideways at the wine in his hand.

She never drank much in the palace of the queen and concubine, for fear that she would cause unnecessary trouble by being drunk and losing her temper. But today, it is hard to shirk the Queen's warm invitation. In addition, Ye Qinghuai didn't drink much wine at today's banquet. With her drinking capacity, this mere pot of fruit wine is not enough.

Thinking of this, Ye Qinghuai also raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

As soon as the wine was drunk, Ye Qinghuai was shocked.

It was as if someone scratched her heart and opened a gap in her hard and closed heart. Then a warmth flowed along the blood vessels to her limbs and bones, making her feel dizzy. (End of chapter)
