This morning, Zhao Yang lost his temper in front of the mirror, but in the end he let Lu You go to Zhongyitai instead of him.

After Lu You changed his clothes, he first went to the Hanlu Palace next door, took his youngest son Zhao Rongze with him, and went to Yeting Palace along the Thousand Step Corridor in a sedan chair.

Zhongyitai is on the high wall in the northeast of Yeting Palace, and is adjacent to the sparkling Ningbi Pool in the west.When Lu You arrived, the tents and blankets had already been set up, and various musical instruments were placed on the musicians' seats.If you listen carefully, you can hear the faint sound of gold bracelets and silver bells colliding from the audience.

The auspicious time has come, and the emperor and empress will be present.Immediately afterwards, Zong Zhengqing, Zhao Mu and other members of the clan, as well as the favored officials of the Xiao family of the Tang family, came to the throne in order to salute.After the ceremony, all the ministers took their seats, and the ones sitting in the front were naturally Lu You and several princes and princesses.

Probably because of the embarrassment of the Double Ninth Festival last time, the prince's seat was never left at this banquet.At this moment, Zhao Yun was sitting on the right side of Lu You.Lu You greeted in a polite and soft voice, but Zhao Yun didn't even turn his head.

The officials sat down, and dozens of people in plain clothes came down the steps empty-handed.Lu You was wondering, when he suddenly heard the sound of fluttering wings in the air, as if thousands of invisible birds flew from far and near, circling and chirping on the stage.

The people around fell silent immediately, and Lu You looked up for a while before realizing that all this was just a silent ventriloquism.

When the flock of birds dispersed, there was no sound on the Zhongyi stage.Shangshi Fengyu presented the fine wine to the front of the steps, and the hall ceremonially sang: "The wine has arrived".Emperor Huiming held up wine to drink with his officials. After going back and forth for three cups, various delicacies were presented one after another, and the musicians also began to play.

What followed was the feast that attracted much attention.According to the pre-selected order, those young and beautiful newly promoted court ladies appeared on the stage in dancing clothes, and tried their best one by one, hoping to stand out.

There were whispers from the guests, and Lu You knew that they were judging the maids-according to the usual practice, in addition to filling the harem, these newly promoted maids can also be transferred to the East Palace or the palaces of the princes, or rewarded as pets. minister.

As for Lu You, he didn't care about the looks or talents of these maids. He just ate and drank quietly, chatted with Zhao Rongze who was next to him occasionally, and spent the rest of the time thinking about how to face Zhao Yang's troubles .

I don't realize that the dishes have passed the five flavors.A team of maids who danced "Plucking Lotus" saluted and left the stage, and after a while, the dance team who picked "Zhe Zhi" began to appear on stage.

This is a group of music and dance performed by many people. After the prologue, the "Queen Mother" and "Five Immortals" recite poems and sing, and then the ladies dressed as "Qianhua" sing and dance.Different "Zhezhi Dance" teams have different names of "Qianhua", and the singing repertoire is naturally different; it is precisely because of this that every Zhezhi Dance is full of suspense and new ideas emerge one after another.

In front of the eyes, the maids who played the roles of peony and calamus finished singing and returned to their places.A girl in fiery red dress came up gracefully from the audience.

I saw her wearing a complicated Qian skirt with silver trim, and she was as delicate and charming as the rising sun.Bai Ru Xingci's arms are wrapped in Xiabo, and gold bracelets are wrapped several times around her wrists. A seven-treasure wreath hangs on Fen's chest. Her head is full of black hair piled high into a high bun, and her hairpin is full of flowers.

But no one could see her appearance—her face was covered by a layer of scarlet veil.

"This must be the Pomegranate Flower God."

After someone said this, Lu You suddenly realized that the girl was dressed like an orchid.The durian flower came from the Western Regions, and it is one of the twelve flower gods, so it is correct to speculate.

I saw this durian flower god standing still on the carpet in the center of the stage, dancing lightly with his arms stretched out.The sound of the music gradually increased from slow to fast, and she began to turn around on the carpet, sometimes clasping her hands together and bowing her head;The colorful silk on the arms is like a rainbow, and the hem of the skirt is like a big durian flower, blooming lightly in mid-air.

The drums under the stage are beating frequently, and the skirts on the stage are whirling.Flowers and vermilion jade fell from the temples of the dancers.Suddenly there was another singing voice, which seemed to be an exotic tune on the ancient road, wrapped in incomprehensible mysterious words, which made people's hearts shake.

This passionate and different dance, like a drop of blood thrown into a clear spring, instantly captured everyone's hearts.

Even Lu You was fascinated by it, he couldn't help but put down his silver chopsticks, and stared blankly at the girl's deja vu figure.

The fairy song was almost finished, and the maid slowly stopped spinning and stabilized her figure.Suddenly a gust of breeze blew from the Ningbi Pool, gently lifting the veil of arse.

Lu You, who had been staring at him for a long time, felt a "bang" in his heart, as if something exploded in horror——

How could this face...it was, Sister Yueshan? !

He was convinced that he was absolutely right, the dancing girl in red in front of him was his own sister, Ye Yueshan, who had been missing for more than half a year and had no news from her!

Didn't Ruilang say that Yueshan should be with that young man surnamed Wang?

Is it Tang Ruilang who is lying, or is that prince really harboring evil intentions? !

In the past six months, what happened...

…………

Lu You's heart was in a mess.Fear, resentment, sadness and bewilderment... came to my heart all at once.Although he was still sitting safely on the seat, he felt dizzy in his heart, and the sounds and forms around him all turned into a twisted nothingness.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't notice that the other person beside him also forgot all his words in a panic, and he didn't even know that the wine bar had slipped from his palm.

Lu You had no intention of recalling exactly how the feast on the stage ended.

All he knew was that he had been staring at Ye Yueshan on the stage.And not long after, Ye Yueshan also saw him.

Through a veil, Lu You had no way of knowing whether sister Yueshan also showed a surprised expression.However, at this moment, even if there is a huge astonishment between each other, they can't reveal the slightest bit.

After all, this is the palace, every step of the way is frightening.
