wait till autumn

Seeing that it was the person beside Qin Jinxiao, the guards did not dare to stop him.Hua Feiyue straightened her clothes by herself, touched the bloodstain that was still hurting on the side of her cheek, she was puzzled, but she didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so she had to follow the maid.

The banquet continued as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Qin Jinzhen and Jun Yingxiu laughed, the other concubines were still submissive and humble, but Hua Feiyue noticed a person who was not there just now.

Is that the famous general among the people?

Qin Jinxiao said casually, "Why is your face hurt?"

As soon as the words fell, a court lady stepped forward and treated Hua Feiyue's wound simply.

Because Hua Feiyue was going to perform a dance, she smeared rouge on her face, and was cut by Jun Ying's sleeve, and the rouge and gouache might have gotten into her skin.

Enduring the pain, Hua Feiyue still smiled and saluted.

"The general wants to see you dance, so you can dance again for her. This time, don't make mistakes."

Qin Jinxiao gave an order, and the other dancers were already in their positions, so Hua Feiyue had no choice but to walk to her usual position, and quickly threw herself into a new performance.

Her eyes flicked to the general from time to time.

It was a rather heroic woman, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, with the aura of a woman who would not give way to a man.Although she is wearing an official uniform, she still doesn't hide her demeanor, she doesn't feel "big and rough", and she is not soft and weak like ordinary women, which is very special.

The eyebrows and eyes are very deep, not like people from the Central Plains, it seems to have alien blood.

In particular, the general has been watching her.

Qin Jinzhen also has this decisive temperament, but the king's eyes are always indifferent and alienated, even calculating.

Hua Feiyue met the saint for the first time, and she was impressed by it, but in comparison, this general seemed to be more kind.

Hua Feiyue is not stupid, the general asked her to come back and dance by calling her name under such circumstances, it was just to save her own life.

After dancing this dance with a different mind, this time Hua Feiyue completed it perfectly, and her movements were not sloppy at all.

The general applauded first, and even the other concubines also gave applause bit by bit, as if to cheer.

Hua Feiyue knelt down on the ground, she heard the voice of the great general getting up.

Then she heard the general say:

"Can your majesty bestow this daughter on this humble minister?"

Jun Yingxiu was naturally relentless, and didn't even give face to the great general, his cousin, so she started to piss on the spot, angrily saying, "Your Majesty, you promised my concubine!"

This is already the norm in the harem, and other concubines are used to it.

Although Hua Feiyue and other dancers saw this kind of scene for the first time, they didn't dare to raise their heads and still knelt on the ground.

Qin Jinzhen rejected Jun Yingxiu, which is extremely rare.

Jun Yingxiu is the only favorite in the palace, and she can get whatever she wants on weekdays; she was originally a former princess, and now she is treated like a queen, so she is very proud.

"This girl will be rewarded to the general." Qin Jinxiao smiled and motioned Jun Zhaoying to get up, "The general has been fighting for the country for a long time, and it's time to accept the beauty's favor."

Qin Jinzhen had her own considerations for appointing the princess of the former dynasty as the general.

Jun Zhaoying's father was the younger brother of the former emperor. He was named Prince Xiang and died in battle while recovering the small border country.

The tiger father has no dog daughter. Because his father has been commanding the front line for a long time, the family members choose to travel with the army. Jun Zhaoying has been in the army since he was a child.

She has been familiar with the art of war since she was a child, and has good combat experience.Even after the death of his father, the Tiger Talisman that can drive the army was passed on to Jun Zhaoying.

Therefore, with Jun Zhaoying, the army of the entire dynasty can be mobilized.

And Qin Jinxiao's father, Qin Shunan, the great general of the previous dynasty, is the best friend of Prince Xiang.

The reason why he chose to start an uprising was the death of Prince Xiang.

Back then, Prince Xiang could have returned triumphantly and returned to the court with his troops, but due to the instigation of the previous emperor, the food and grass were not in place for a long time, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies to the battlefield, and they were defeated.

Qin Shunan, who was lucky enough to save his life, regrouped his troops and stormed the palace. This is how the current Qin Dynasty came into being.

Because of this relationship, Qin Jindi dared to use Jun Zhaoying as his general.The reason why she dared to accept Jun Yingxiu, the princess of the former dynasty, as her concubine was because Jun Yingxiu's mother, the queen of the former dynasty, exhorted the former emperor to be diligent in government and love the people, but was thrown into the cold palace and died in depression.

Therefore, Jun Yingxiu also hated her father very much.

Qin Shunan's success in forcing the palace could not have been possible without the help of these two princesses and princesses.

Qin Jinxiao grew up with Jun Yingxiu, but she was not very familiar with Jun Zhaoying who lived in the army. This was the first time Jun Zhaoying asked for a gift from the emperor, so Qin Jinxiao quickly agreed.

Such a small favor that can be easily given to the general makes her more loyal to herself, so why not do it?

It wasn't until the banquet was over and got on the carriage to the General's Mansion that Hua Feiyue realized that she was already a member of the General.

The carriage was very spacious and could seat about seven or eight people, but now it was empty, only her and the general.

As Hua Feiyue, she couldn't take a carriage, so this was her first experience.

She opened the curtain to look outside curiously, but she was afraid that Jun Zhaoying would not like it, so she put down the curtain embarrassingly, and called timidly: "Thank you, General."

——It was Xie Junzhaoying who asked Qin Jindi for her.

Although she didn't understand why Jun Zhaoying saved her a little dancing girl, Hua Feiyue was also grateful.

She has no father or mother, and has already forgotten the feeling of being cared for. As long as someone around her takes care of her a little bit, she will be very grateful.

And Jun Zhaoying saved her life, she thought in her heart, even if she did her best, she had to repay the general.

Hua Feiyue smiled kindly, she was very good-looking, but unlike Jun Zhaoying, her figure was soft and boneless, slender and delicate, as if it could be broken if touched by others.

But she didn't dance like this. Although she danced softly, her movements were just right, and she never made people feel weak.

Jun Zhaoying stared at her, making Hua Feiyue a little embarrassed, until the carriage stopped, Jun Zhaoying looked at her like that.

"You don't know me anymore?" Jun Zhaoying left the words and got out of the carriage.

Hua Feiyue became flustered, afraid that she had offended the general, so she hurriedly opened the curtain and jumped down without looking at her feet.

When he almost fell, he fell into a warm embrace.

"Moon slave."

Jun Zhaoying is slightly taller than her, and Hua Feiyue's forehead reaches her eyes.

Hua Feiyue raised her head to meet her gaze, heard that address, and recognized those familiar eyes at the same time.

"Xi Nu?!"

Hua Feiyue's name was given by her aunt in Wufang. Because she was still young when her parents died, she hadn't had time to name her, so she only left a nickname, Yuenu.

Later, she became a dancing girl, and in Luoyang City, she only heard the name of Hua Feiyue, but she didn't know that she was a moon slave.

The only one who can call out this name is probably that little beggar back then...

Yuenu is from Jiankang, her parents had just died that year, she was only seven or eight years old, and she was still ignorant.

There are no relatives in the family, only an uncle who is ignorant and fond of gambling. Seeing that he has no money to spend, he plans to sell the moon slave.

Yue Nu was not stupid either, seeing that the situation was not right, the day of the transaction happened to be a rainy day, so he sneaked away while his brother-in-law was not paying attention.

There were many puddles on the ground, and Yue Nu nearly slipped and fell without paying attention, but was held up by a pair of hands.Looking up, that person was also a little girl not much older than her.

Both of them didn't hold an umbrella, and their hair was sticking to their faces wetly, but Yue Nu could still see that the man had deep eyebrows and eyes, probably of alien blood.The right eye even has double pupils, which is extremely rare.

"There is a temple over there, go in and hide from the rain."

Someone pointed at the little girl on the road and called her Xi Nu, but she didn't care, she just walked her own way.In this way, the two supported each other and hid in the ruined temple.

After all, Yue Nu is a child at heart, "My name is Yue Nu, what is your name?"

Xi Nu thought about the gazes of passers-by just now, and laughed at herself: "Just call me Xi Nu."

Yue Nu didn't know what the word Xi Nu meant, and she didn't know that the Central Plains people didn't tolerate people of different races. She just felt that the child in front of her was different from anyone she had ever seen.

Obviously immature is written all over her face, yet she has to force herself to look like an adult.

Jun Zhaoying's father just died on the battlefield.They fought against Pyu on the border of Yongchang, but the tragedy was caused because the emperor was suspicious of her father and did not allocate food and grass for a long time.

Jun Zhaoying escaped under the protection of his subordinates, and those who survived were all killed or injured by the emperor's eyeliner.

She didn't dare to go back to Luoyang, so she fled all the way to Jiankang along the coast.Although he grew up in the army, Jun Zhaoying was an orthodox royal princess, and he never suffered from being displaced since he was a child, but he persevered.

Yue Nu heard her stomach growl, and took out two steamed buns that were wet by the rain from her arms: "I stole them from home, here they are for you."

Xi Nu looked at the steamed bun, and there was an instinctive desire for food in her eyes. After she was separated from her subordinates, she hardly had a decent meal.

But even so, as a princess, she had never eaten such a thing.

She was not picky, and knew that if she didn't eat, her body would not be able to survive, so she took Yue Nu's steamed buns, and the two children wolfed down the remaining food.

Xi Nu didn't go to beg anyway, Yue Nu only thought she was unwilling to go, but Xi Nu was afraid that the emperor's people would recognize her.

After all, a girl with a foreign face has an obvious goal.

Yue Nu had to show her face alone, even though she was worried that her brother-in-law would find her, it was better than starving to death.

She was born fair and pleasing, and she was pitiful when she knelt down on the side of the street. People came and went, and she could get some copper coins.Although not much, it was enough for her and Xi Nu to barely maintain food and clothing.

She never asked about Xi Nu's origin, and from Xi Nu's slightly blue eyes, Yue Nu could also guess that her origin was extraordinary, so she kept her mouth shut.
