After this incident, the emperor was naturally overjoyed, and praised Qingming heavily. Of course, Shaluo was also involved. Qingming suddenly became a celebrity in front of the emperor, plus he was originally elegant and unparalleled, so many girls wrote him many love letters in a short while.
In the Honghui Hall, You Ji also greatly praised Sha Luo's courage, and the news quickly spread. Sha Luo seemed to have borrowed Qingming's light, and his popularity has greatly increased, but there are more people who are popular. As for her troubles, in addition to Yuan Gaoming's letter, she also received some love letters from other officials and nobles.
After several spring breezes and several spring rains, the luxuriant red toon bushes are covered with fine waves, and clusters are burning like flames. Strings of thick purple wisteria flowers are hanging all over the courtyard, swaying with the wind, and falling petals pieces.
"Look, look, that's Lord Abe Seimei." A group of women looked at Abe Seimei who was entering the palace from a distance and chatted softly.
"Master Qingming is really young and promising, with a handsome appearance, I think he is on par with the Minister on the Right."
"Yes, Master Qingming's demeanor is as beautiful as Qiuju."
"I said Master Seimei is more like the thin snow on the plum blossoms in winter."
Sha Luo followed their gazes, and Qingming, who was wearing a white hunting suit, was walking through the corridor calmly, without even looking in this direction, and quickly disappeared before everyone's eyes.
This kind of Qingming is really as cold as the thin snow on the plum blossoms. She smiled lightly, and suddenly thought of him who was smiling softly that day, as unreal as a dream.
But maybe only she knows that Qingming actually has a gentle and cunning side. Thinking that this is a secret between Qingming and her, a little joy filled her heart.
"Shaluo, are you not ready yet? At today's banquet, it is said that the right minister will perform the Qinghai wave dance." The little prime minister walked in while talking with fascination.
"Minister on the right?" Sha Luo was stunned for a moment. Qinghai wave is the most gorgeous and elegant dance in the court.
"Hurry up, don't make the empress wait. Also, I have to wear formal clothes today." Her words hit Sha Luo even more. Usually, it was inconvenient for her to walk, but now she had to wear cumbersome formal clothes. A bound big rice dumpling.
When they arrived in front of the Qingliang Hall, there were already many nobles sitting there. Sitting behind the curtain of the imperial tent was Emperor Murakami, and Sara followed Yuki to the corridor where the female relatives were. To be honest, after coming here for so long, she has never seen the other concubines of the emperor. But even though there were no curtains, the female relatives still partially covered their faces with the bat fans in their hands, so she couldn't see clearly.
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a loud and clear flute sound resounding through the sky. In such a melodious melody, the right minister, whom everyone had been waiting for, appeared gracefully. Today's Yuan Gaoming really shines! He is wearing a gorgeous armpitless dance robe covered with bird armor. The cute yellow robe is decorated with the Chidori in the waves of Qinghai, and the lower body is painted with wave patterns. It is equipped with a mother-of-pearl Chidori sword and holds a bat fan of the same color. , wearing a crown of curly tassels on her head, with a delicate wisteria flower on the crown. Looking from a distance, her features are picturesque, her posture is beautiful, and her dancing posture is graceful. She is really romantic.
Purple vine flowers fell one after another, dancing with the wind, his dew-like dew-like demeanor, and his dancing sleeves fluttering with the wind, added brilliance to the world, making everyone seem to be in a dream, forgetting all worldly troubles, and the only thing in his eyes is There is the extremely charming dance of the noble son.
At that moment, Sha Luo was also a little confused...
When the dance and music ended, it took a while for everyone to come back to their senses. Yuan Gaoming's lips evoked an elegant smile, which made everyone in the room feel even more amazing. At this time, he suddenly raised his eyes to look in the direction of Sha Luo, and when he met his enthusiastic gaze, Sha Luo quickly lowered his head, wondering why such a handsome young man fell in love with her inexplicably? Could it be that the more you can't get him, the more interested you are
However, after watching such a wonderful dance, Sha Luo did change his mind a little bit.
After not sitting for a while, Shaluo suddenly felt a little bloated in his lower abdomen. Too bad, she must have drank too much water before coming out just now. In desperation, she tilted her head and whispered something in Yu Ji's ear. Yu Ji smiled slightly and said softly, "Go and come back quickly."
To Shaluo, these words sound like heavenly sounds. Just as she was about to get up in a hurry, she suddenly realized that there are so many pairs of eyes around her. out of the corridor.
As soon as she was out of everyone's sight, she didn't care about her ladylike demeanor, she hurriedly picked up her clothes and left. This is the most cumbersome formal attire, and it's not easy to be convenient once.
As soon as she walked quickly to the corridor, she ran into someone unluckily.
A slightly cool astringent fragrance hits the nostrils. This scent... She rubbed her nose and raised her head, sure enough, it was Yuan Gaoming.
"Why are you here, weren't you still in Qingliang Palace just now?" Sha Luo took a step back in surprise.
"Do you like my Qinghai wave dance?" He smiled and took off the wisteria flower on his hat, but did not answer her question.
"You dance well." She meant it.
"Then, why didn't you reply to my letter?" Yuan Gaoming approached her, gently placed the wisteria flower on his fan, handed it to her, and softly said: "I also cherish flowers, how have I ever touched a branch. I've always been patient."
His cypress fan, which has been incensed repeatedly, has a strong fragrance. It smells like cherry blossoms blowing snow, but when you smell it again, it turns into chrysanthemums with the calm and noble smell of frost and snow, and the sweet touch of mayflower oranges. In the end, it turned into the fragrance of orchids.
"I..." Now she just wants to quickly solve a major emergency in her life, and she really doesn't have this kind of leisure and he is so elegant.
"Minister Right, I have already said that an ordinary person like me is really not worth your troubles, so I'm leaving." As soon as she took a step, he grabbed her sleeve.
"I really don't understand, there are more beautiful women than me, why the right minister is interested in me." Sha Luo turned around in a hurry, staring at him and asked.
He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again, and said, "Shaluo, this is fate."
"I think it's evil fate." She muttered in a low voice.
Yuan Gaoming heard her whisper, and couldn't help laughing: "I want to break the cherry blossoms, but cherish the flowers for fear of breaking the branches. Shaluo, you have to understand my heart to cherish the flowers." But no smile.
"Yeah, I understand, I understand." She was eager to get away, and responded a few words casually.
Only then did he let go, and Sha Luo hurriedly left there in a very unmanned manner, and went straight to the place she wanted to go most now.
By the time the banquet ended, the sky had already darkened. When Shaluo came back from Yuji, it was already dark. She entered the room, and immediately collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. Maintaining a dignified sitting posture is really, really tiring, and her waist seems to be breaking.
After lying down for a while, she sat up again, rubbing her numb knees. Not long after rubbing, there was a slight slamming sound from outside the door.
"Who?" she asked.
"Shaluo, it's me, young prime minister."
"Well, wait a minute." Shaluo stood up on the ground, she hadn't taken off her formal clothes yet, and the heavy clothes made it difficult for her to move. As soon as the door was moved, she suddenly smelled a familiar breeze and slightly cool astringent fragrance. She screamed inwardly. Just as she was about to close the door, a tall figure had already barged in.
With this scent, she knew who it was without looking at her.
"Little prime minister!" Sha Luo's heart tensed up, and he shouted angrily towards the door, this damned little prime minister betrayed her. There was no sound outside the door. This guy must still think it's a very elegant thing.
Sha Luo regained his composure, and said to the man in front of him, "It's already so late, Mr. Right Minister, I'm afraid he went to the wrong place, right?"
Yuan Gaoming had already changed into a vine-purple straight dress, looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "Shaluo, since you have said that you understand my heart, then let me relieve my pain of lovesickness tonight." , he gently grabbed her hand. Shaluo was stiff all over, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.
She was dizzy for a while, but she still reacted immediately, stretched out her hand and pushed him away forcefully, and ran towards the door. But—she forgot the heavy burden on her body. As soon as he took a step, he grabbed his sleeve and dragged him back. With just such a light move, he was pushed down on the sleeping platform. It was already difficult for her to stand up with such heavy clothes, let alone being held down by him. Now she is like a zongzi tied up with five flowers.
"Yuan Gaoming, didn't you say that you want to break the cherry blossoms yourself, and cherish the flowers for fear of breaking the branches. Why have you changed your mind now." She forced herself to be calm.
"Shaluo, isn't there a Chinese poem in Tang soil, when a flower is ready to be folded, it must be broken, don't wait for the flower to fall and break the branch." He smiled gracefully, still holding her hand firmly.
This man really knows how to make excuses. Sha Luo remained calm. Whether he can keep his innocence today is up to him. Therefore, don't panic, stay calm, and there will be a way.
Thinking of this, she smiled a few times and said, "Since this is the case, Sha Luo has nothing to say, please let Sha Luo change your clothes for the adults."
He seemed slightly taken aback, then laughed happily again, and said, "Okay. My Shaluo is indeed a woman who can express her feelings."
Sha Luo continued to laugh dryly, and reached out to untie his straight clothes. As soon as she touched his straight clothes, she was stunned, not knowing how to untie such complicated men's clothes.
Seeing her embarrassment, Yuan Gaoming couldn't help smiling, took her hand and kissed it lightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know how to undress your delicate hands. Shaluo, you are really cute."
As he said that, he skillfully took off the straight clothes by himself, until the single clothes inside were left. Shaluo snorted coldly in his heart, his movements are really skilled, and he must often do this kind of stealing.
"Shaluo..." he whispered, reaching out his hand to untie her clothes.
"Ah, choo." She sneezed suddenly.
"What's the matter, is it cold?" He stopped.
"Well, it seems that there is a wind blowing in. I wonder if the right minister can go and see if the door is closed tightly." Sha Luo vomited at the sound of his whining voice.
"I'll go take a look." He smiled softly, immediately got up and walked to the door, leaned against the door, looked down and said, "Shaluo, the door is fine."
"But, why do I seem to hear strange noises outside?" Sha Luo also slowly leaned over, pretending to be scared on purpose.
Yuan Gaoming hesitated for a moment, moved the door away, took a look with his head, and said, "No..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shaluo kicked him hard on the back with all his strength. He was caught off guard and fell straight out of the door! Sharo immediately moved to the door, and firmly stuck the inside of the door with a wooden stick.
"Shaluo!" He was obviously taken aback, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly open the door, what's going on?"
"Master Right Minister, you should go back earlier." Sha Luo leaned against the door and smiled.
"But, Shaluo, my clothes..." There was a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
She couldn't help laughing out loud, the first nobleman only came home in his underwear, if someone bumped into him, it would be too embarrassing!
"My lord, Shaluo really can't open the door..." She said a few words in a pretentious manner.
"Shaluo, you are so courageous! Open the door!" There was a hint of anger in his voice.
Sha Luo was extremely happy in his heart, but still said in his mouth: "My lord, you should go back quickly, otherwise if someone bumps into you like this... I'm afraid..."
"Shaluo, you..." He seemed very depressed, and called a few more words, but she never opened the door.
After a while, there was no sound outside the door.
Sha Luo finally giggled, just thinking about Yuan Gaoming's distressed appearance made her overjoyed.
When the right minister slipped out of the palace, he met Lieutenant General Fujiwara who was patrolling the palace, and this lieutenant general Fujiwara had never been used to the right minister.
So, the next day, the news that the right minister failed to steal the fragrance and left the palace in embarrassment only in underwear spread throughout the palace, and the poor first nobleman became the talk of everyone after dinner. Because of this, the right minister did not come to the hall for several days on the grounds of avoiding things.
As for the little prime minister, after agreeing to help Sha Luo with everything for a whole month, Sha Luo no longer pursued her. Sha Luo also knew this kind of atmosphere in the palace, so he didn't blame her anymore.
However, after this incident, Sha Luo received a sharp drop in love letters. From the strange eyes others looked at her, she clearly felt that many people sympathized with the right minister, and obviously classified her into the category of those who don't know what to do or what to do. bingo.
