Destiny of crossing

It was almost dusk when I returned to the other courtyard where I was staying, but I saw sister Liu Yan walking towards a luxurious carriage parked outside the courtyard.

Where is she going so late?

I chased after her: "Sister Liu Yan!" I called out, but Sister Liu Yan paused for a moment, didn't look back, and then quickened her pace.

Suddenly, I felt as if I understood something, I ran after her and grabbed Sister Liu Yan's arm: "Don't go."

Sister Liu Yan snorted softly, and I realized that the recklessness seemed to hurt her left arm, which was injured because of it. I quickly let go, with a begging tone: "I won't let you go."

Sister Liu Yan looked back and smiled, under the backlight, her smile was so beautiful: "If someone is willing to marry me now, I don't have to."

I looked at her and could see the deep expectation in her eyes instantly, but what she expected was something I couldn't give.If I had never met Shen Yi, I think I would have fallen in love with this kind, magnanimous and beautiful woman.

Just as I was hesitating for a moment, Sister Liu Yan had already boarded the carriage, and when I turned my head, I saw the sad look on her face.

Perhaps this inadvertent moment, I have hurt her.

I stayed where I was and watched the carriage drive away.

"Ran Er, everyone here, as long as those dignitaries need it, in order to survive, we have no way to refuse."

When I looked back, I saw the pavilion master leaning on the door of the house, his gaze deep and far away: "Unless, you don't belong here."

Is this the so-called involuntary?I felt a sense of sadness in my heart, and thought of sister Liu Yan's faint sadness when we first met: "Silly brother, do you really think that being a dancer is such a glorious thing? Even if I am like me, in the eyes of the world, I am just a joker. A lowly man."

"It's all nonsense, it's all nonsense." I angrily tore off the leaves on the ground: "What do you mean you can't refuse? If you want to gain the respect of others, it depends on what position you put yourself in, so what about the dignitaries? Do I not believe that there is no kingly law in this society?"

The owner of the pavilion laughed so that the flower branches trembled, and he looked at me as if he saw something ridiculous: "Pei Ran, so you are so naive, now I really believe that you don't belong here, but I think you are more like a conservatory at home. The precious white peony that is cared for here is delicate, proud, weather-resistant, and barren."

The pavilion master flicked his sleeves and turned back into the room, leaving behind a stern sentence: "The birthday banquet is over, you can go wherever you come and go, get out of this place that makes you feel dirty!"

Invisibly, I hurt two women, maybe more.

"I didn't mean that" I muttered to myself, blowing the evening wind alone, heartbroken.

The cool moonlight made my heart even more desolate.

yes!This is no longer my original world.The law of the jungle, the rich and the poor, the high and the lowly, and the ranks are clearly defined. If one day, a steel sword rests on my neck, can I really be humble and silent, Aoxue, a widow?

Early the next morning, I was waiting outside the gate of the other courtyard, and saw sister Liu Yan being sent back by a carriage.

In the breeze, she walked slowly, and the lavender figure was weak and ethereal, as if it was blown away accidentally.

Seeing me standing in front of the door, Sister Liu Yan's body seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then a bitter smile faded out: "Do you dislike me? Do you feel disappointed?"

I bowed my head: "It's just... distressed."

"Stupid brother" Sister Liu Yan touched my head, and gave a gratified smile: "I don't want to see my sister like this, so I will help my sister find a good family from now on!"

"must."

The other courtyard where he stayed was specially prepared by the imperial court for Fengming Pavilion, which shows Fengming Pavilion's reputation and unusual treatment.

There is a large courtyard in the other courtyard, which is convenient for us to train here. After several days of continuous training, my dancing skills have naturally reached a level of perfection. Aunt Chun was ecstatic and sister Liu Yan was full of eyes surprise.

The birthday banquet started at noon, and although it was the finale, we still dressed up and made preparations early in the morning.

In the boudoir, the pavilion master and sister Liu Yan personally made up and combed my hairpin.

Thin powder, painted willow eyebrows, a red peony between the eyebrows, a touch of sequins pasted under the left eye, red lips slightly dotted, nine days of hair, with colorful phoenix feathers and pearls on the ears, the whole person is almost unrecognizable even myself.

What a monster!If Shen Yi sees me like this, I don't know if he will vomit blood.

Just after finishing dressing up, I heard a high-pitched voice in the hall: "What? Miss Liu Yan can't play? Are you kidding me? Change someone? Who else? Except Miss Liu Yan, who can dance like a hundred birds? Feng? What's more, without that unparalleled appearance in the world, even if you can dance this dance, it's three points inferior."

"Hundred birds and phoenixes were personally recommended and invited by our lord Huan Chonghuan. How can you play tricks on the emperor's birthday banquet? If it fails, can you afford it?"

Judging by the momentum, Aunt Chun probably couldn't stand it any longer.

The pavilion master's face became serious, and he strode towards the hall, followed by sister Liu Yan and me.

"What's the noise?" The pavilion master glanced around the hall coldly, and then smiled a little, the smile was very light, but it was very decent, but it made people feel amorous and majestic: "Yo, It turned out to be Lord Liu."

Master Liu immediately put away that bullying posture, and changed into a seductive expression: "The style of the pavilion master is really the same as before!"

The pavilion master turned his head to look at me: "Feiyi, this is the court official, Liu Wende, Master Liu, why don't you pay your respects to Master Liu?"

I nodded slightly, and threw a polite, docile, self-confident and decent smile at a short and fat official in official uniform in the middle of the lobby: "Minister women are not clothes, I have met Master Liu."

Master Liu was stunned.

Aunt Chun next to me called out, Master Liu came back to his senses, and while wiping off the hala that flowed from the corner of his mouth, he came over and held my hand tightly: "Miss Feiyi, you really are so beautiful! !Ahaha---she is even more beautiful than Miss Liu Yan!"

Dirty——I looked at his hands that had finished wiping the saliva, and was concerned about the situation in front of me, so I didn't have the nerve to say that dirty word.

Stepping into the carriage, Liu Wende insisted on riding in the same carriage, holding my hand with a pair of unwashed hands and refused to let go. He really took advantage of him along the way.

Fortunately, poor people in the palace are not allowed to ride, so they have to walk. There are many eyeliners in the palace, and he doesn't dare to be disrespectful and do something disrespectful. Only then did I get rid of those unruly hands.

After going through layers of official cards and palace gates, it may take less than half an hour to arrive at the destination - Jiaqing Palace.

Jiaqing Palace is an outdoor palace specially used to celebrate major festivals and hold banquets in the palace.The palace is rectangular in shape, with a high platform for the main seat, pavilions, dozens of steps leading straight up, red brick floor under the platform, officials' seats on both sides, inner and outer walls, heavily guarded.

At the banquet, all the officials toasted and drank freely, chatting and laughing happily, and Taichung was thriving with singing and dancing.

Due to the angle problem, I could only see the officials in one corner and the performance on the stage while waiting.

When we came out, it was already dark, and the hall was surrounded by colorful lanterns.

A hundred birds facing the phoenix must set up a circular platform in the hall, with a diameter of three meters and a height of two meters. I dance alone, eight people play music under the stage, and 16 people dance around the round platform.

The music sounded, and I was sent to the stage under the support of four half-naked majestic men. As a dancer, standing on a high platform, I always have a heroic feeling that the world is at my feet, that long-lost desire to perform Skyrocketing, yes, I belong to this stage, where I can express my enthusiasm to my heart's content, without constraints or boundaries.

My body moves with my heart, and my heart moves with music. There has never been a moment when I feel that my dancing skills can be so superb and hearty. I am filled with a faint smile and exude strong confidence.

look!The whole audience is staring intently; listen!At this time there is nothing but music.

The delicate women in pink clothes held flower baskets, slid on the high-set up ribbons, and kept swaying rose petals to the stage, like a rain of roses, covering me in it.I grabbed a piece casually, bit it on my lips, and smiled sweetly.

Flipping, twirling, bending over, flicking my sleeves, with the sound of music, my dancing posture is slow and fast, constantly changing, and none of the 386 moves is repeated, which is dazzling.

After skipping the initial surprise and calm, the applause and applause on the court came one after another, and I knew that I had succeeded.

But the Hundred Birds at the Phoenix did not end here, the music suddenly rushed, sixteen women and four men leaped onto the stage at the same time, layer upon layer, I lay on the top with my body tilted sideways, with one hand holding my cheek and the other lightly lifting, It seems to be receiving the rain of flowers all over the sky, the petals have fallen, and the dance is over.

After a few seconds of silence, the audience applauded again, overwhelming any time.

When the audience thought the performance was over, sixteen women and four men suddenly popped up like popcorn, spilling colorful brocade from their sleeves, covering the entire stage.

After a while, the brocade was scattered all over the floor, revealing me covered in it. Like magic, the stage suddenly rose to a height of more than two meters, and my hair style and clothes had changed.

A white peony is inserted obliquely in the Liuyun bun, with wide sleeves and flowing fairy, with heavy gauzes, so white that it is not stained by a speck of dust.

Hundreds of birds chasing the phoenix are fast, unpredictable and unpredictable.And the dance of the alluring city needs to be gentle and graceful, and it needs to be that alluring country and city.

I dance lightly, my skirts are flying, and I am the only one dancing between the sky and the earth.

Fifteen full moons, climbing to Fashao, from a distance, I don’t know if it is like Chang’e flicking her sleeves under the moon, like a fairy, like a son, mysterious and far away.

I once wanted to arrange for Chang'e to fly to the moon as the end, but the conditions were limited, so I had to kneel on a high platform and grab a handful of petals to end with a refined posture.

For a long time, the audience was silent, as if everyone had been intoxicated by it, and no one wanted to break the legacy of the dream.

It seems that I am the only one who stays out of it.

It's done, I should retire too.

I bowed my head and knelt down: "The little girl is not wearing clothes, may the emperor's country last forever, and live forever."

At this time, a haughty voice sounded: "What a Feiyi, this dance is unparalleled in the world, it can be said that it is a country and a city, so I will give you a name, and it will be called - Wu, Qing, City!"

This voice—

I raised my head abruptly, and met a pair of eagle-like sharp and smiling eyes.

"Shen, Yi?"

The petals in his hands fell to the ground.
