MTL - Accidentally Married Miss Empress-Chapter 27
After another meal in Dai Ruyan, Gong Yu took the sedan back to the house, and the worried old butler hurriedly asked, "Oh, my little ancestor, where did you go last night?"
Gong Yu took off his cloak and responded, "I'm going to replace my sister."
"Then... Last night, His Royal Highness was staying in Dai Girl's Courtyard?" the old butler asked with a gossip on his face.
"yes."
Gong Yu turned around and saw that the old housekeeper was not looking right, and quickly explained: "Don't think too much about it, old housekeeper."
"His Royal Highness is still old now." The old housekeeper muttered happily.
This is obviously not what Gong Yu can stop.
Gong Yu, who was alone in the study, took a few sips of hot tea, flipped through the account books piled up in front of him, and could vaguely hear the wind and snow outside.
With the wind and snow, the palace banquet was the same as in previous years, but this year there were more fresh performances from Fanguo, which added a bit of excitement to the banquet.
As Gong Yu grew older, following the difference between men and women, the distance from Dai Ruyan became farther and farther away.
The masked dancer in that country held a long sword and stirred up the flames and danced gracefully. The beautiful scene attracted everyone's attention.
Gong Yu, however, looked at Dai Ruyan, who was sitting there, through the heavy shadows.
The goose-yellow dress stood out among the heavily made-up concubines in the harem. Dai Ruyan sat quietly aside, but held the little rabbit in her arms, and occasionally smiled with others, but only for a moment. The meaning fades away.
All of a sudden, the dancers on the stage were walking around in front of the ministers with wine bottles in their hands. Perhaps because of the graceful figure of the masked dancer, many eyes on the field fell on the enchanting masked dancer.
Of course, thanks to the masked dancer, Gong Yu was able to see Dai Ruyan on the other side as it should.
Not wanting to go here suddenly on behalf of Ruyan, Gong Yu was caught and had to look away with a guilty conscience.
The dancing girl suddenly jumped over the table and chairs and stopped beside the Sixth Highness. She lifted her veil slightly and drank the wine.
The scene was very hot, and those blatant movements made the ministers stare straight at the masked dancing girl.
Gong Yu happened to be a little hungry too, so he picked up the dumplings in front of him and tasted them.
I never thought that the graceful dancer, with a dazzling effort, naughty rubbed against Gong Yu's side, and the bells on her body were ringing.
The dancer's hands were lightly surrounding Gong Yu, and her body was very close. Gong Yu panicked and hid to the side, for fear of being discovered by this woman.
But the dancer insisted on lingering for a while as if she was playing tricks on Gong Yu, and looked at Gong Yu with bright eyes and asked, "Why do you always avoid me?"
It was probably because there were drums and music around, so the woman's question was a little farther apart so that no one else could hear it.
Gong Yuman said sincerely: "I...I'm just eating dumplings."
"Okay, I want you to dance with me?"
ah?
Gong Yu shook her head and replied, "No."
But the dancer didn't want to listen to Gong Yu, she reached out and grabbed Gong Yu's arm. Gong Yu wanted to hide, but the dancer was pulling her left hand, so she had to accept her fate and be pulled out.
The dancing girl smiled and put her hands on Gong Yu's shoulders and said, "I have seen you."
Gong Yu awkwardly avoided the dancer's personal attack, and wanted to cry without tears: "I swear I have never seen you."
"You still said you're not afraid of me?" The dancer circled around Gong Yu, dancing lightly and said, "Your face is all red."
When the dancer continued to circle around again, Gong Yu rushed back to her seat, for fear that she would be pulled out by the dancer again.
The Sixth Highness on the side smiled and said with a glass of wine: "Xiao Jiu can't bear the enthusiasm of this national dancer."
Gong Yu almost choked on the tea, and was really embarrassed. She only felt that many eyes were looking at her, and she subconsciously went to Dai Ruyan's side, only to find that Dai Ruyan was teasing the little rabbit with the queen, and she didn't care at all. this side.
After finally waiting for the end of the palace banquet, the palace servant with the lamp led the minister out of the palace, Gong Yu clutched the heater and wanted to see Dai Ruyan again, but there were too many people and had to give up.
After leaving the palace and taking a sedan chair back to the palace, because of the snow, the road was not easy to walk, and the sedan chair wobbled badly.
After getting off the sedan chair, Gong Yu saw that the dancer was waiting in front of the house in thin clothes. The old housekeeper gave her silver taels of clothes with pity, but the dancer refused to leave.
Gong Yu looked at the dancer and said, "Why are you waiting for me in this icy world?"
The dancing girl approached and said, "Are you the Ninth Highness?"
"Well." Gong Yu took a few steps back and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"I escaped from the dance troupe and want to stay in the palace country." The dancer's eyes were bright and moving, which felt like a lie when she said it.
Gong Yu turned around and entered the house and said, "I'm not a good person, and I don't need dancers."
"You'll need me." The bell on the dancer's body rang crisply. Although she still used a veil to cover her face, it couldn't hide the dancer's outstanding appearance.
If such a woman is alone on this snowy night, it is indeed a bit dangerous.
"I can send you Yinliang to **** you out of the capital, don't pester me again." Gong Yu said, and turned to leave, only to see her robe being dragged by the dancer.
The dancer shook her head and said, "I don't want your charity."
Gong Yu looked at me puzzled and asked, "Then what exactly are you trying to entangle me?"
"because I like you."
Hey?
"You... crazy!" Gong Yu pulled back his robes, turned around and entered the house and said, "Come here, close the door!"
What kind of world is this, she just said she liked it once she saw it, does this dancer really think she looks so deceitful?
The old butler held an umbrella and stood aside and said, "Your Highness, does the snowstorm really make that girl freeze outside?"
Gong Yu didn't answer until he stopped in the corridor and looked at the heavy snow like goose feathers floating outside.
"Will someone go to see if she's gone?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Back in the hall, after Gong Yu took a shower, he had nothing to do and planned to go to bed early, but the dancing girl always appeared in his head, and the wind outside was blowing fiercely.
Gong Yu had no choice but to get up and come out of the palace. The wind and snow had not stopped outside, and the guard reported, "Your Highness, the dancer is still outside."
"His Royal Highness, the dancer seems to have fainted outside." A guard ran away from the door.
"Send her to a side house, and then go and invite a doctor for her." Gong Yu shrank her neck coldly, and didn't want to stay outside for a moment, but this dancer could stay for nearly an hour.
Gong Yu didn't believe that the dancer really liked him, but the dancer seemed to be hiding some secrets and had to hide in it desperately.
"Send her out tomorrow morning, remember to find someone to watch her, and report back if you have any problems." Gong Yu yawned sleepily.
The guards replied in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness."
At night, the wind and snow did not stop, and Dai Ruyan's courtyard was also snowy, and the lights in the hall were dimly lit.
Dai Lang moved first with black in his hand, and Dai Ruyan, who was on the opposite side, played white unhurriedly.
Black has the advantage and gradually forms an encirclement situation, but White has made dangerous moves to stand out from the encirclement, instead changing three different chess paths to pursue.
The outcome was already decided, and Black's entanglement and resistance were just futile efforts before the end.
Dai Ruyan dropped the last piece, cutting off Black's last life. Dai Lang looked at the situation and put the black chess in his hand back into the chess box.
"Tomorrow my grandmother is going to the temple, so I have to go with me, so I won't go to the banquet with my father." Dai Ruyan cleaned up the white chess and said.
"You insist on doing this, and I have nothing to say." Dai Lang straightened his back and looked towards the outside Da Xue and said, "It's just that my grandmother is old, and it will be my father who will be in power in the future. Why should you be brave? Minute."
"Show weakness?" Dai Ruyan stopped her hands and responded: "Then why don't you think that Dai's power will also fall into your hands in the future?"
Dai Lang was stunned and said, "If you are so outrageous, you..."
"What kind of person is my brother, I'm all too familiar with it, why disguise it?"
Dai Ruyan took away all the white pieces in the chess game, leaving only the incomplete black pieces.
The two didn't talk anymore, the maid outside the door reported: "Miss, it's time to be ugly."
Dai Lang just left in a hurry, and Dai Ruyan, who was drinking tea alone, called softly, "Jasper, let's incense."
"Yes."
The maid put incense in the incense burner, a carrier pigeon quietly fell outside the window, and the maid hugged the carrier pigeon and said, "It's the news from His Highness the Ninth Highness."
"Let's take a look." Dai Ruyan put down the teacup and took the letter from the maid.
Dai Ruyan looked at it carefully and said in a low voice, "Dancer?"
The maid on the side lowered her head and looked at Dai Ruyan's expression as if something was wrong, so she quietly retreated.
I saw that the letter was thrown into the charcoal basin by Dai Ruyan flutteringly. The letter paper quickly ignited a small fire in the charcoal basin, and then turned to ashes.
Dai Ruyan lightly rubbed the little rabbit in her arms, holding the scissors, to cut off the lamp on the low table. The hall was suddenly plunged into darkness, and only the extinguished candle on the low table was still glowing faintly.
On the contrary, the window paper lined with snow was still a little bright, but Dai Ruyan's expression was like a sculpture.
The maid opened her mouth to call, and the grandma next to her held the handmaid's arm and shook her head.
The blizzard in the courtyard is getting bigger and bigger, and under the cover of the wind, it seems that a faint sound of a melodious piano is faintly heard.
When it was twilight, the wind and snow also stopped, and when Gong Yu woke up early in the morning, she only felt that her nose was blocked.
After washing up and using some hot porridge, Gong Yu hurried to the temple outside the city in a sedan chair early.
As for why you go to the temple, according to the gossip, Ruyan always accompanied her grandmother to the temple to pray for blessings.
Therefore, Gong Yu, who rushed to the temple first, did not expect that the stairs of the temple had thousands of steps, and when Gong Yu came up, the whole person was dead.
Entering the gate of the temple, the palace in the main hall worships the Buddha in a regular manner, but his eyes are looking around.
Fortunately, Dai Ruyan was not far away, and Gong Yu dawdled around a lot.
Dai's grandmother is seventy-six years old, which is considered a long life in this world.
But Dai Ruyan just glanced at Gong Yu, who was following behind, and there was nothing else.
Seeing that grandmother entered the small Buddha hall, and Dai Ruyan was waiting outside the hall, Gong Yu rubbed her frozen face and held a talisman bag in her hand, and said, "What a coincidence, Dai sister."
However, Dai Ruyan didn't answer, Gong Yu stretched out her hand and pulled Dai Ruyan's drooping sleeves and called out, "Sister Dai?"
"Ayan?"
"Shouldn't Xiao Jiu accompany the national dancer in the mansion?" Dai Ruyan looked at Gong Yu sideways, although she was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.
Dai Ruyan, who was wearing a mask, caused Gong Yu to sweat coldly on her back. It felt like she was someone else.
