From a short distance, I could hear the sound of stringed instruments and orchestras in the hall.

The dancers in cage skirts and scarves on their shoulders entered the stage in a flash.

The main hall and the pavilion seemed to be instantly shrouded in a crimson purple cloud, which was magnificent.

Xue Yangyang was fascinated by the scene, while her sister was completely absent-minded and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Sister, please stay here. I'm going to the toilet and will be back in a moment!"

Yangyang just said "oh" casually, still immersed in the graceful dance.

Xue Qingqing twisted the handkerchief in her hand all the way.

Thinking back to the look on the young marquis' face when he saw Xue Yangyang, and the gossips of those gossipy young ladies,

Suddenly I felt very unhappy, but I couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.

"Hey! Isn't this the Xue family's younger sister? Why are you alone? Where is your little pink sister?"

Xue Qingqing then looked up and saw that it was indeed Gao Yuan who had fallen into the water with her that day.

"Where did you come from, you scoundrel? Get out of my way!"

Gao Yuan was excited, "Sister, are you unhappy? Are you still angry with your sister because of the day you fell into the water?"

Xue Qingqing didn't want to get entangled with him, so she turned around and was about to leave. Gao Yuan chased after her, "Your sister is stupid, why do you have to be so hard on her?"

Xue Qingqing was just worrying about how to trip up her silly sister.

From Gao Yuan's tone, he seemed to be extremely protective of his sister.

His heart ached, he stopped in his tracks instantly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you like my sister!"

"What you said..." Gao Yuan smiled crookedly, "Sister is quite outspoken, I won't hide anything either!"

"Your sister kicked me hard that day, and I am worried about it. Besides, she is prettier than you."

After hearing this, Xue Qingqing suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "If you like it, it's not impossible!"

"Hey! Sister, do you have any idea?"

Gao Yuan is the legitimate son of the Minister of Works, Mr. Gao. He is a wild man by nature. Now he is almost twenty years old and has no wife at home, but he has a steady stream of concubines.

It was because Mr. Gao was old and had a son in his old age, so he spoiled him and made him lawless.

"If you have a way, I will treat you well!"

A fool, the best he can do is be a concubine, Gao Yuan thought to himself.

Xue Qingqing paced back and forth, looking around, and calmed down. "My sister is stupid, and my father is worried about her marriage. I think Mr. Gao is sincere to my sister, and he is very worried!"

He paused and whispered, "If it's a done deal, then it can be done as quickly as we want, right?"

Gao Yuan's eyes showed a teasing look when he heard this. He didn't expect that the second daughter of the Zuo Xiang family was even less worthy than himself.

But it was exactly what he wanted, "In that case, sister, can you bring her here?"

Gao Yuan pointed to the Cangcui Pavilion behind him. He had just come out of there to help the young marquis find something.

It was filled with all kinds of objects and books. It seemed that there weren't many people there on weekdays, which was just right...

"Just wait, I'll be back soon!" Xue Qingqing said with a smile on her face, as if it was a sure thing.

Xue Yangyang saw some actors dressed as warriors coming in after the dancer left the stage.

It looks like they are going to perform a warrior dance.

Xue Qingqing came back at this time, but she only sat for a short while.

"Ouch, sister! I have a stomachache. I have to go to the toilet again. Please accompany me! It hurts so much!"

Yangyang frowned, and counting on her fingers, she knew that Xue Qingqing was up to something again.

She knew clearly that her sister was a fool, but she still insisted on dragging her along.

"No, no, I want to watch the dancing, the dancing is beautiful!"

Yangyang's eyes followed the dancers and she had no intention of paying any attention to Xue Qingqing.

Xue Qingqing finally got the chance, how could she let it go so easily!

He stood up and tried to pull Yangyang up by force.

"I won't go, I won't go!"

Yangyang didn't know where Xue Qingqing got so much strength, but she managed to twist her up.

After a lot of shoving and shouting, Yangyang lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The teacups and fruit plates also fell to the ground, and the dancers stopped when they heard the noise.

"My butt," Yangyang looked at Xue Qingqing who was also a little panicked, but she couldn't attack her right away.

"Who is making so much noise outside?!"

As he spoke, a eunuch with a solemn expression came out and looked at Xue Yangyang who had fallen to the ground in a mess.

"How disgraceful! What young lady from an aristocratic family is like you! Someone, come! Drag him out and punish him with a stick..."

What the hell? It's like playing house, with caning for every little thing.

Xue Qingqing standing by was so shocked that she didn't dare to say a word, but Xue Yangyang didn't want to lose his life because of this!

So I plucked up my courage and said it out loud,

"The wind is whistling and the Yi River is cold, brave man... good dance, good dance! So beautiful! Haha!"

Xue Yangyang's original owner seemed to remember that her father had taught her to recite poems since she was a child.

Because the left prime minister knew that his daughter was mentally retarded, if she could recite a few poems,

It is better than being looked down upon in this country of Pu that values ​​culture over military affairs. Now I can only take a gamble.

"Who is reciting poetry? Please come in!" A kind voice came from the hall. It must be the Queen Mother.

Yangyang held her chest and tried to calm her frightened heart.

"Get up! Miss Xue! Follow me in."

This eunuch is so perceptive and knows his own identity. He must be a close associate of the Empress Dowager.

Xue Yangyang followed the eunuch into the main hall.

Xue Yangyang thought that if he didn't look around and talked less, he could save his life.

"Keep your head up!"

Yangyang looked up and looked at the Empress Dowager, whom she had just called grandma, with a loving face.

My little heart calmed down for a moment.

"Hello, grandma!" I am a fool anyway, so if I just act nice, the matter will be resolved!

"How dare you!" the father-in-law said sternly.

Xue Yangyang was frightened and speechless. How could this eunuch be so scary?

"Eunuch Cao, don't scare the child," the Queen Mother said cheerfully, "I told her to call me that!"

Hehe! Xue Yangyang finally saved his life.

"Was Yangyang reciting poetry outside just now?"

"Your Majesty, it is the eldest daughter of the Xue family!" The eunuch replied with his eyes lowered, his tone much softer than before.

"I'm in a good mood today, and I'm really happy to hear Yang Yang's good poems!"

In this case, if I recite a few more poems, I can get away with it safely.

"Grandma, I know another song and I want to sing it to you! Haha, haha!"

I have memorized quite a few poems, and now I want to pick one to recite in response to the warrior dance just now.

"I look at my sword under the lamp while drunk, and dream of blowing the horn in the camp. Eight hundred miles away... I'm done for the king!"

Before she finished reading, the Queen Mother suddenly looked in another direction.

Yangyang turned his gaze and saw General Tang, who was sitting there with a sullen look on his face.

The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet. General Tang drank the tea in the cup, stood up and quickly left the main hall!

This caused everyone in the hall to look at each other in confusion.

Should I not recite this poem? Yangyang felt very upset.

Fortunately, the left prime minister arrived and knelt on the ground.

"Please calm down, Queen Mother. I have neglected to discipline my daughter. I apologize to you!"

"Get up!" The Queen Mother relaxed her expression a little, "Yangyang is a good child, he did nothing wrong!"

Boom! Yangyang only heard the heavy weight in his heart finally fall. Damn this luck today!

I don’t know why this General Tang is here?
