The nine princesses of the East Palace

I wanted to take a closer look, but there was a sound of footsteps, which startled me, I thought it was the drunk man chasing him just now, grabbing Li Chengyin's hand and wanting to run away.

But Li Chengyin pressed my hand, didn't move, motioned me to look back.

I took a look, it turned out to be a few dancers, the one in the lead, I am still a little familiar with, called "Youniang", she is very close to Sister Mingyue.

When You Niang suddenly saw me and Li Cheng Yin, her complexion was a little pale, she probably didn't expect someone, she was a little frightened, she opened her mouth to call, how can I make her call, as soon as she calls me and Li Cheng Yin, it's over.

I quickly grabbed her sleeve and whispered: "You Niang, it's me, don't shout."

You Niang was stunned, and looked at me for a long time before finally recognizing me, "Young master Zhou, it's you, but why are you wearing the clothes of a girl's house? You frightened the slave family, and thought it was not The relevant people are hiding here and peeping."

The "Mr. Zhou" she was talking about was me.Going out of the palace and using my real name will cause trouble, so I named myself "Zhou Xi". Therefore, everyone in Mingyufang calls me "Mr. Zhou".

You Niang said, then looked at Li Chengyin beside me, and asked: "Hey, who is this elder sister? Just look at me."

I saw her staring at Li Chengyin intently, and said with some hesitation: "This is my sister, she is afraid that I will be playful, so she came here to catch me."

As soon as I finished speaking, Li Chengyin's face turned cold, his eyes seemed to be eating people.I can only pretend not to see it.

You Niang's eyes turned back and forth between Li Chengyin and me, showing a clear expression.

I thought of the distinguished guest inside, so I lowered my voice and said: "Youniang, it's like this, I heard that Miss Mingyue has a distinguished guest, I'm a little curious, I want to see the real face of the distinguished guest, but because I'm wearing men's clothes, I can't come to the back building , and then changed into women's clothes, wanting to watch the excitement."

After hearing this, You Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "So that's how it is."

I whispered to her again: "Then can we dance together? Then we can see the true face of the distinguished guest."

You Niang was very embarrassed and didn't agree, I hurriedly said again: "I just took a look, my sister will take me back in a while, don't worry, I won't make any trouble."

Youniang knows that sister Mingyue and I have a good relationship, she has a gentle temper and is easy to soften her heart. After a lot of talking, I finally persuaded her, and she agreed to let us dance with her.

I was very happy to get her consent, and asked Li Chengyin in a low voice: "Can you dance?"

"What kind of dance?" Li Chengyin asked.

"Tage." I said.In fact, I really hope that he will say no. If he says no, I don’t have to take him with him. He just said that the distinguished guest is an old man. What if something bad happens to him later?

He looked at me for a while, and said two words clearly: "I will."

Hey, he can actually sing.Yes, he is the crown prince. According to the rules of the palace, every March in the palace, he will dance to the songs and dances. His singing may be even better than mine.

But I was still worried that he would cause some trouble, so I said, "I'm talking about the step song danced by the girl's house."

Li Chengyin probably knew that I wanted to leave him alone to see the distinguished guest, his expression was not very good, he curled his lips and said: "So what about the girl's house? If I say yes, I will."

Well, he has said so, and I can't justify leaving him, so I can only say: "Well, let's dance together."

At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo music sounded in the room, which was telling the dancer that it was time to enter the room and dance.Tage needs to use the fan, You Niang handed the fan to Li Chengyin and me, we took it, and followed the dancers into the house to Tage.

Sister Mingyue opened her throat and sang aloud. Her singing voice is gentle and soft, and she is the best singing girl I have ever seen.

As soon as the singing sounded, we were about to start singing. I followed the dancers and put down the fan that was covering my face, and Li Chengyin also put it down... It was a big deal when I put it down, and the face of the nobleman appeared in front of us immediately .

When I saw it, I was shocked, I almost couldn't hold the fan steadily, Li Chengyin must have been frightened too, because this noble man... he is not someone else... but... Li Chengyin's own father, now the emperor.

I was stunned. Everyone else started dancing, but I was slow and didn't know how to move my hands and feet.Li Chengyin twisted my arm calmly, and then I came back to my senses, and danced up and down with him.

How can he dance so smoothly?Don't you feel shocked?Anyway, what I'm thinking right now is: it's over, it's over, I'm over.

I have never known what the Emperor's attitude towards me is, but now that I dress up Li Cheng Yin like this, he must be very angry, he won't whip me like he did when he beat Li Cheng Yin, right?I have never been whipped since I was a child, it must be painful.Even if I won't be whipped, I will definitely be punished for copying "The Commandments for Women". If I am a dignified princess, if the emperor punishes me for copying "The Commandments for Women", it would be too embarrassing.

How to do?How to do?

It's better to dance patiently, and run away quickly after dancing, before being discovered.

I don't know if the emperor found out about us, because I don't dare to look at it anymore.I took the steps of Tage with trepidation, uneasy.

It seemed like a long, long time, and the step song was finally finished. The emperor didn't call us to stop, probably because he didn't find anything.I think.

Just when I was not so nervous, the emperor suddenly said: "This step dance is very good."

I was surprised when I heard that the emperor's words didn't seem to be a good sign...

Sister Mingyue said: "Mingyue would like to thank you for your praise on their behalf. Now, why don't you let them step down first, and Mingyue will play a few songs for you?"

"Listen to you, tell them to retreat." The emperor said.

I just breathed a sigh of relief, and before I had time to move, the emperor said: "These two dancers stay."

After the emperor finished speaking, he stretched out his finger, first pointed at Li Chengyin, and then pointed at me.

When I heard it, I almost fainted.

Sister Mingyue asked, "Why did you leave them behind?"

I waited for the emperor to speak in fear, not daring to speak out.I have already thought about several possible fates of me and Li Chengyin in my mind.

After a while, the emperor said: "These two dance and dance the best. I want to see them dance again."

I thought to myself: Your Majesty, you are really talking nonsense with your eyes open. When I just danced, I almost froze into a piece of wood, okay?

And, do you want us to dance again?I'm so tired right now, my feet are limp.

After the emperor had spoken, sister Mingyue had no choice but to say: "So, you two can stay."

So, You Niang and other dancers all went down, even the musicians went down, only Li Chengyin and I stayed.
