Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 159 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Ning Erlan looked at the small ball on the table, not knowing whether to laugh or not?She knew how many young ladies in the palace were waiting anxiously for this little ball to be thrown in front of them, what a pity, but Xiao Jinling threw it in front of the person who least wanted it.

"I wonder which family's lady got the red ball?" Xiao Jinling asked in the hall pretending not to know.

Ning Erlan rolled her eyes quite speechlessly, dear, is your acting too much?Are you not afraid that I will steal your limelight?
Even though Xiao Jinling was delayed thousands of times in his heart, he had no choice but to pick up the red ball on the table, stand up and walk to the center of the hall.

"The daughter of the people sends it to the emperor, and the queen empress sends her greetings."

"Get up. Since the red ball has been thrown at your table, it means that you are destined to perform a show for Ben Gong and the emperor. Ben Gong Su asked you that your medical skills are good. I don't know if other things can make people look different. "The smile on Empress Empress's face is like a painting, she smiles so gracefully that no one can see anything unusual.

"Mennv's clumsiness is nothing more than showing shame in front of the emperor and queen."

"Miss Ning San still wants to do tricks in front of people, right?" Before Ning Erlan could speak, Xiao Jinling sneered.The last time she performed tricks, she still couldn't figure it out. If Ning Erlan performed some unexpected tricks this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for her?
"This time the fan dance performed by the folk girls." Ning Erlan bowed her head, not answering Xiao Jinling's words, but said directly to the emperor and queen.

"Painting fan dance? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Ning Erlan said a few words to the musician at the side, and after getting the props ready, she stood in a circle surrounded by gauze tents.There are pens and ink in the circle, and a fan the size of a washbasin.

With the sound of "ding bell", the crisp music sounded, and everyone was very curious about this kind of performance, and many of them had seen Ning Erlan's magic performance at the Peony Festival before, so this time they all watched intently, wanting to see it Seeing that the business girl who has always been looked down upon by the children of their aristocratic family can perform an unexpected show again.

At the beginning, the sound of the music was very frivolous, and the thin smoke veil moved with the wind and quietly blew up, and the petite figure in the gauze also moved with the sound, with a light waist and limbs , composing a moving dance, everyone can only see the figure inside through the tulle, although it is not real, it gives people an unexpected beauty.

At this moment, the folding fan that had been held in his hand was violently unfolded and thrown into the air, spinning in mid-air in a beautiful arc, but even so, the dancing figure of the figure inside the tulle did not stop at all down means.The music became more and more urgent and intense, and the figure danced more powerfully and gracefully. The folding fan circled in the air and returned to the figure's hand from time to time, and so on.

Knowing that the last melody was exquisite, at that moment all the tulle was thrown out of the hall as if being sucked by a black hole, and the figure in the tulle suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.The folding fan in her hand half-covered her beauty, and her exposed face seemed shy, charming, and that pool of spring water being teased, so beautiful.

After the dance, everyone couldn't recover for a long time.Ning Erlan felt that this shape made her limbs a little stiff. When she knew about this palace banquet, she remembered that she had practiced dancing in her previous life. Although it was a bit tricky, not many people could tell.

"It's really beautiful, I like this dance very much." The empress's voice broke the deadlock first, and everyone came back to their senses, with envy and appreciation, but more of them were jealousy and hatred.

Ning Erlan squinted and saw Yu Jiaoyan smiling at her with a thumbs up, and she smiled back.

"Thank you, Empress, for your compliment."

"Let me see the fan in your hand." Emperor Zhaowu's eyes fell on the fan in Ning Erlan's hand.

A palace official stepped forward and took her fan.Emperor Zhaowu unfolded it and saw that it was a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers.

"I didn't expect to be able to draw such a beautiful scenery while dancing. Without certain skills, I can't achieve it." The queen looked at the fan and praised, while Emperor Zhaowu beside her raised his eyes and gave Ning Erlan a deep look.

"I remember that I didn't see the hairpin on your head when I was in Zhongyong Palace last time."

Hearing this, Ning Erlan's heart felt inexplicably tense. "Back to the emperor, this hairpin was given to the daughter by my mother."

"You've already saluted."

This is an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence!
"Yes."

This seemingly ordinary conversation made the minds of those present alive.

Wei Lingxiao, who was sitting under Emperor Zhaowu, secretly clenched his wine glass tightly, his black eyes fell on Ning Erlan seemingly inadvertently, the emperor's eyes, wrong!

Sitting next to Wei Lingxiao, Wei Ziqiao and Wei Ziming naturally felt the mysterious atmosphere.

"Father, my son heard that Bamei plays the pipa well. I don't know if I am so lucky to hear Bamei play the last piece today?" Wei Ziqiao stood up at this moment, with a coquettish smile on his face, Looking at Wei Biqin, who was sitting under the queen, said.

Wei Biqin opened her mouth to refuse, but she had to shut her mouth when she saw Wei Ziming's eyes.

The smile on the queen's face was inconvenient, but Wei Lingxiao could see that the smile was a little stiff.

"Speaking of which, I haven't heard Biqin play the pipa for quite some time. How about Biqin playing a piece for the queen today?"

At this time, Emperor Zhaowu's eyes had already withdrawn from Ning Erlan's body. "You go down first."

"The people's daughter follows the decree."

Returning to her seat, Ning Erlan only felt that her palms were covered with sweat.

"Third Sister, why are you so pale? Is it too stuffy inside, how about Second Sister accompany you outside for a walk?" Ning Shuangyu asked with concern.

Ning Erlan did feel a little dizzy, she nodded, and the two stood up and walked out of the hall.

There were many guards outside the hall, but there were not many people in the garden. The more Ning Erlan walked outside, the more dizzy she felt. Could it be that she had caught a cold?

Stretching out her hand and rubbing her temples, Ning Erlan came to a corridor and sat down.

"Third sister, how do you feel? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Looking at Ning Shuangyu's concerned face, Ning Erlan opened her eyes with some difficulty. The reason why she came out with Ning Shuangyu just now was because she just wanted to take a walk outside. They are not allowed to bring people in to serve, so at this time there are only two people, she and Ning Shuangyu.

Ning Erlan looked at Ning Shuangyu warily, and clearly saw the hatred in her eyes.

"It's been a while since we've been out, let's go back, it's not good if people see it." Ning Erlan felt something was wrong, she tried to stand up, but she felt as if the strength in her body was taken away instantly Let alone go, I can't even stand up.

"Third Sister, are you uncomfortable? I'll call the palace servants right away. You wait here for a while, and I'll be right back." A ruthless look flashed in Ning Shuangyu's eyes, and she turned around and quickly disappeared into the night. among.

Ning Erlan only felt that her back was getting further and further away...

Ning Shuangyu walked to the corner of a rockery and slipped in. "Hurry up, I've already brought him out, and the next thing is up to you."

"Don't worry, can she still fly with wings at this time?" The shadow hiding in the darkness smiled sinisterly, and limped towards the direction Ning Shuangyu said.

"Ning Erlan, aren't you amazing? After half an hour, I will let you know what life is better than death!" Ning Shuangyu looked at the direction where the man disappeared, with a terrifying expression on his face.

What she didn't know was that shortly after Ning Erlan left the hall, several people also left and walked out.

On the other side, Ning Erlan was leaning on the stone bench in the corridor. She wanted to kick a flowerpot not far away to make a noise, hoping that the guards would notice her, but she was far away from the flowerpot. No matter how far she kicked, she couldn't kick it, and she was so anxious that sweat dripped from her forehead.

"What is Sanmei doing here? Could it be that you are not feeling well? Brother, come and take you to the house to rest." Ning Desheng had arrived in front of Ning Erlan at some point, with a strange smile on his face.After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ning Erlan to answer, he stretched out his hand to lift her up, and helped her to the guest rest area far away from the main hall. During the process, he deliberately chose a remote path so that it would not be easy for people to find.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Sister, don't worry, after tonight you will have inexhaustible glory and wealth, and then don't forget how kind your brother is to you." Ning Desheng said, stretching out his hand and pushing open the door of a side room , helped Ning Erlan in, and put her on the couch.

"You did it?" Even though Ning Erlan's body was so soft that she couldn't move, there was endless coldness in her eyes, which made Ning Desheng feel terrified.

"My sister is talking nonsense, just stay here, brother will not bother you." Ning Desheng threw something into the incense burner on the table and walked out the door.

Ning Erlan frowned with difficulty, and soon smelled a strange fragrance, which was somewhat familiar... It was all the smell on the piece of ruby ​​that Ning Desheng gave her!It seems that she is still not good at academics, and she didn't find the problem with that thing.

It didn't take long for Ning Erlan to feel that someone was coming this way, and it was getting closer.

The door was pushed open, and a figure was projected into the room, casting out a long shadow.

On the other side, after letting the man leave, Ning Shuangyu paced around in place, trying to figure out the right time to lure him there.But just when she was about to walk out of the rockery, she just felt something rush towards her, and then she fell down when her eyes went dark.

At this time, a sharp black figure flashed out, carried the person on the ground on his shoulders, and quickly disappeared into the rockery, rushing towards a certain direction.
