Du Yunxi only felt that her mind went blank, as if she had lost all consciousness. She felt that after a long, long time, the people in the audience looked at her and burst into laughter.
She finally reacted. He screamed, hugged his chest, and rushed off the stage like crazy.
So what happened
Why did her skirt suddenly tear apart when it was fine
In order to dance lightly, she only wore a pink bellyband. But the skirt suddenly tore. Everyone's eyes were on her, witnessing the moment she made a fool of herself.
She felt she wouldn't survive.
The stage was in a mess, the dancers were stunned looking at the peach-pink clothes, and Du Yuanzheng's face was livid with anger. Ye screamed strangely and fainted.
The old emperor did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly, and was stunned.
Du Suxi's sharp eyes saw Helian standing up crazily, as if about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he stopped, found a guard, and gave a few instructions. The guard nodded and walked away quickly.
Such a great opportunity to show your courtesy? Helian Kuang would actually give up? Doesn't it seem like his style? Du Suxi was a little confused, what did Helian Kuang want to do
As if a handful of cabbage had been thrown into the frying pan, everyone was boiling with excitement, discussing what had just happened in low voices but unable to conceal their excitement.
The old emperor finally realized the seriousness of the matter! He stood up and smashed a tea bowl directly on the ground. Everyone's discussion stopped abruptly with the crisp sound of pieces, and they raised their heads and looked at the old emperor in fear.
"The Flower Festival continues, the next show girl!"
The old emperor has already spoken, who dares to speak again? It's just that no one is in the mood to watch the performance, and everyone is reminiscing about Du Yunxi's graceful figure.
Du Suxi stood up and looked at Jing Ke.
"I'm going to go out and get some air first. Just wait for me here."
"I'll accompany you." Jing Ke said and stood up. Du Suxi shook her head firmly.
"I want to be alone for a while. I'll be back soon. You wait here."
Jing Ke thought for a while and decided to compromise honestly.
Du Suxi walked past several pavilions and didn't know where she was going. She just walked casually. When she turned around a waterside pavilion, her eyes lit up and she discovered an artificial lake in front of her. She hurriedly ran over to it. , looking at the rippling blue lake, she felt a cool breeze blowing. The lake was so clear that she could see the bottom at a glance, which made her feel a little itchy. She looked around to make sure there was no one around. Du Suxi took a deep breath, ran over without a second step, sat on a big rock by the lake, took off her boots, rolled up her trousers, and plunged her legs into the cool lake water.
It was so comfortable, Du Suxi took a breath, closed her eyes and enjoyed it.
It was so comfortable. Du Suxi's little feet were rippling in the water, and she felt that all her unhappiness today had been swept away.
These are real palaces, more comfortable than the Forbidden City in Beijing. No wonder so many men throughout the ages want to be emperors. No wonder.
She was thinking with such satisfaction in her heart. Looking at the picturesque green lake, she suddenly remembered a poem that her master often recited. She couldn't help but read it out.
“The arrival of spring on the lake is like drawing a picture, with chaotic peaks surrounding the horizon.
The surface of Songpai Mountain is covered with thousands of greens, and the moon is dotted with a pearl in its heart.
The threads of the green carpet draw early rice, and the green nepotism shows the new crop.
If you can’t leave Hangzhou, half of it is this lake.”
Feeling happy with her righteous thoughts, Du Suxi suddenly frowned, turned her head, and stared into space. shouted sharply.
"Who, come out?"
No one answered. Du Suxi stood up without wearing any shoes, standing on the stone and snorted coldly.
"Do you just dare to do that voyeuristic thing like a cowardless gangster? It's really ridiculous."
Suddenly there was a chuckle in the air.
"I'm here to spend the summer, but am I bothering the young master? The young master actually talks so harshly?"
A figure in white loomed from behind the rockery not far away. He had a wine bottle in his hand, and his face was slightly red. It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine.
Du Suxi's eyes widened in surprise. They were really enemies on a narrow road. She didn't bother to put on her shoes, so she grabbed two shoes and ran away.
The man in white looked at Du Suxi running so fast and raised his eyebrows. muttered.
"Hey, you, am I so scary? You ran away when you saw me? I want to see who you are, how brave you are."
After saying that, the man in white put the wine bottle in his arms, looked at Du Suxi's figure, and chased after her.
Du Suxiyi
She just wanted to get rid of the man behind her, but she didn't know the way. Suddenly, as she ran, she saw a group of guards walking far in front of her...
No, if I was discovered like this, wouldn't I be regarded as an assassin? Du Suxi stopped in a hurry and hid behind the rockery on the side.
After waiting in the rockery cave for a while, Du Suxi held her breath and listened to the sounds outside. After making sure that the guards were gone, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out cautiously.
A sword lay silently across Du Suxi's neck.
"Who are you? Why did you run away when you saw me?"
Listening to the familiar voice, Du Suxi said nothing, thinking about what she should do.
what to do? He couldn't beat him, Du Suxi had already tasted how powerful this person was.
"Turn around and show me, I should have seen you before." He Lianheng looked at Du Suxi and ordered in a deep voice.
Du Suxi looked at the sword on her neck, gritted her teeth, and suddenly calmed down. Thinking.
He probably doesn't know who he is, so he just stole a rabbit from his sister. At worst, he can just pay a few ingots of silver!
Heartbroken, Du Suxi turned around.
"Why is it you?" He Lianheng looked at Du Suxi with raised eyebrows and said in surprise.
Du Suxi forced out an awkward smile. He spoke.
"Can you move the sword away so we can find a place to have a good talk?"
He Lianheng tilted his head. He looked at Du Suxi and said coldly.
"What if you run away? You are young and have good kung fu. Who do you belong to? And how did you get in?"
What he said clearly sounded like a question. Du Suxi's face turned pale, and she thought to herself that if she couldn't tell the right and wrong, this person wouldn't let her go? After sighing, Du Suxi said helplessly.
"I am Murong Fei, the manager of Moshang Xiangfang. I entered the palace for the first time and I just sneaked out to see the market."
He Lianheng finally put down his sword and looked at Du Suxi.
"It makes me very curious that a steward can have such skills, and I have to have a lively chat."
It's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog! Du Suxi gritted her teeth secretly, what if the master knew that she had been captured? I'm afraid I'll just give myself a few lashes with a snakeskin whip, right
But, it’s not her fault. The nature of this body is too weak, and she cannot display her strength at all.
Gritting her teeth, Du Suxi said nonsense.
"Have you ever heard of the saying that masters have been among the people since ancient times? My skills are really nothing. What's the fuss about?"
After Du Suxi finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at He Lianheng, as if she had no sense of contempt.
"..." He Lianheng looked at Du Suxi's serious look, but did not open his mouth to expose Du Suxi's clumsy lie. He pointed to the side and said as if nothing had happened.
"Well, it just so happens that drinking alone is boring for me, so just come with me."
"..." Du Suxi sat awkwardly on the stone bench, watching He Lianheng pouring wine for herself, and said uneasily.
"As for that rabbit, I will pay you any amount of money!"
“…”
"Is one hundred taels enough?"
"..." He Lianheng drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Du Suxi looked at He Lianheng's appearance, gritted her teeth bitterly, and continued to add more words.
"Five hundred taels."
“…”
He Lianheng calmly poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"One thousand taels!" Du Suxi gritted her teeth with a look of pain on her face. Although she made a lot of money every day at Mo Shang Xiangfang, she didn’t spend the money, right? What a waste!
“…”
He Lianheng drank another glass of wine by himself.
Du Suxi finally couldn't help but stood up, looked at Helian Kuang who was drinking one cup after another, and gritted his teeth and said.
"A rabbit only costs a few cents. Isn't it enough for me to pay you a thousand taels? Do you know that if you buy a rabbit for a thousand taels, you won't be able to finish it in your lifetime even if you eat it every day!"
He Lianheng finally raised his head, looked at Du Suxi calmly, and said a word calmly.
"That rabbit is a rabbit from the Western Regions. In order to deliver it, three horses were exhausted. Do you think the price is really enough?"
“…”
What is a rabbit from the Western Regions? ! It was clear that he was using strong words to deliberately embarrass her!
Du Suxi didn't believe He Lianheng's words at all and said.
"Since this rabbit is so valuable, please tell me a price!"
He Lianheng raised his head leisurely
He glanced at her.
"You can't afford to pay, so just give yourself to me."
"..." Du Suxi stared at He Lianheng in surprise and widened her eyes in disbelief.
"You, what did you say?"
She must have heard wrong, right? Her current identity is that of a man.
He Lianheng lowered his head, looked at her feet that had not yet put on shoes, and smiled.
"I didn't expect your feet to be so small, like a girl's. You are probably only fourteen or fifteen years old, and you have never even touched a woman, right?"
This man, looking so polite, actually spoke so straightforwardly. Du Suxi's face turned a little red.
He Lianheng seemed not to notice and continued to speak.
"If you follow me, even if you are a little book boy, it will definitely be better than being a little steward. What do you think?"
Is this person drunk? Do you really believe what you said
Du Suxi raised her eyebrows in confusion. He became bolder and asked.
"Let me ask you, what is your name?"
He Lianheng raised his head and found the man in front of him who looked like a little doll very interesting.
He raised the corners of his mouth interestingly and said.
"Mu Heng." He remembered that this little guy called him Mu Heng from the beginning. Very few people know this name. But he seemed to know him, and blurted out without thinking, without knowing his true identity.
This amused him.
"Is this really your name?" Du Suxi frowned, not believing it.
He Lianheng nodded. "Why did I lie to you?"
"Are you from this palace?" Du Suxi continued to ask. Although she didn't know much about history, she understood that the only people who could live in the palace, besides the emperor, were eunuchs. Even the guards live outside the palace and change shifts at scheduled times every day. The management is extremely strict. It is impossible for them to wander around like this person in front of them
Is it possible that this person is really a eunuch? Du Suxi subconsciously glanced at He Lianheng's lower body and thought in her mind.
He shouldn't be a eunuch, right? It's a pity that he is so good-looking but is a eunuch...
If he were brought to his Moshang Xiangfang, given his beauty, he might be more popular than Wei Qing.
"So, not really." He Lianheng spit out an ambiguous answer.
What an answer. Du Suxi was startled. But he heard He Lianheng say.
"From tomorrow on, just stay with me. Is this considered compensation?"
This, a rabbit? Just sell yourself!
This man really knows how to plan! Du Suxi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He stood up, took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeves, and placed them in He Lianheng's hand.
She spoke like an old woman.
"It's just a rabbit. Don't treat everyone as fools. Even a golden rabbit is not worth so much money. One thousand taels is enough."
He Lianheng looked at the money in his hand and said nothing. He looked straight at Du Suxi, which made Du Suxi feel a little scared.
"What? Do you still think it's missing?" For some reason, Du Suxi always felt a little unsure when facing He Lianheng's eyes, as if she really owed him.
He Lianheng shook his head. He didn't know how much wine he drank, but his body exuded a scent of wine. It was light and not unpleasant. Du Suxi was surrounded.
"Who are you anyway?"
He Lianheng finally asked, as if sighing lightly.
"I am Murong Fei."
Du Suxi looked into He Lianheng's eyes and spoke again.
"My name is Murong Fei, and I'm just a steward of Moshang Xiangfang. If you get drunk, you will forget me soon."
He Lianheng suddenly chuckled, his white teeth exposed in the air.
"You little baby, your eyes are very beautiful, like stars in the sky."
Du Suxi blushed rarely and coughed dryly.
"You're drunk. I'm leaving first."
He Lianheng did not get up to chase after him, but looked at Du Suxi's small back and shouted.
"Tomorrow I will go to Moshang Xiangfang to find you."
Du Suxi's face turned even redder. The pace is more urgent.
Fortunately, although she was running around just now, she still remembered the general direction. The movement caused by the Hundred Flowers Festival was really too big. She found the place without much trouble and quietly walked to her seat. As soon as she sat down, Jing Ke Then looked at her.
"Where did you go? Why did you go so long? Are you still in such a mess?"
Du Suxi smiled dryly.
"It's okay, I just accidentally fell down."
