Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 284
Gu Qingxin glanced at Xu Mu on the opposite side, and then lowered her eyes. The maid who was standing behind Gu Qingxin, dressed in clothes and adding wine, only felt that the little princess had accidentally spilled a little oil on the soup on the plate.

The next moment, there was a sound of "Ah", the silence that was just cheering for the wonderful scene was broken by the focus of attention itself, and the sound of the heavy body falling was accompanied by an exclamation and a muffled groan after that, like the sound of a muffled drum. The sound resounded abruptly on the stage—the person who had been lifted up in the air just now was already lying on the ground without aesthetic feeling.

Because almost everyone's eyes were amazed by the dance and the ending of the curtain, they could clearly see the falling movement at that moment—I don't know what happened to the dancer who was holding her back, and she suddenly let go as if she couldn't bear it His hand was about to fall down on the Zisha woman.

Lacking the most important strength support, coupled with fear that the dancing girl would overwhelm others, they subconsciously let go of their hands. As a result, the purple gauze girl who was still wearing a triumphant smile just now fell to the ground, and miraculously, she fell unsteadily first The dancer on both sides subconsciously grabbed the sleeves of the dancers on both sides to avoid the end of the fall. Her body bent down dangerously, facing Gu Qingcheng who fell on the ground and was in unbearable pain, piercing her heart like a sharp arrow and poisonous snake. eyes -

The dancer closed her eyes with a thud, and fell into the abyss of despair. As a result, she was finished!
How proud he was just now, how humiliated Gu Qingcheng is at this moment.

This change also shocked the entire hall.

First of all, the sharp voice of Concubine De, who is eager to love her daughter, is like killing a pig. Running towards the stage.

His Majesty the Emperor also stood up from the dragon chair in shock, his eyes were clear and calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Why don't you go to see the second princess, where is the imperial physician? Why are you standing there?"

Under the roar of the emperor's life, the ministers immediately woke up, but they were really silent, and no one said a word.

Gu Qingcheng guessed that she had really fallen somewhere, tears of pain came out at this moment, anger, humiliation, and unwillingness were all brewing in her heart, coupled with the pain, it made her extremely uncomfortable.He didn't dare to move, so he looked at Concubine De who rushed over and sobbed in a low voice, and the imperial doctor who came from outside the palace immediately came over, first looked at Gu Qingcheng's injuries, and then asked someone to carry Gu Qingcheng to the palace.

Concubine De looked at the emperor with teary eyes, and she followed after the emperor nodded.

After those figures disappeared at the gate, the hall was still deadly silent.

The dance just now was indeed so novel that it aroused some secret and unspeakable desires in their hearts. At this moment, they realized that their heads were trembling with sweat, and they all turned their heads with guilt and trepidation. His obsession is unrelenting.

First, the voices of the emperor and concubine De reminded them that it was the honorable princess, not an ordinary dancing girl, and should not be desecrated.

Second, nobles don't like to be seen in distress, let alone Her Royal Highness.

Third, do not see evil, do not see evil, they seem to have realized at this moment that the second princess's dance dress is too revealing, more revealing than in some places where they went in private, the gaffe of staring at just now It's not polite.

Gu Qingxin silently took a panoramic view of the expressions of those officials, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: Look, this is the true face of those officials. Usually, they talked about the way of sages and sages, but now they are just A single dance can make them forget the environment, the etiquette, and the gentleman's way that is often talked about.When I was staring at someone's belly button just now, why didn't I talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius?

Among the civil and military officials present, there were a lot of people who just stared at the dance without blinking their eyes. The men present, except for a few, were almost unrestrained. She also observed it, and even her father, the emperor, seemed to have forgotten In order to drink and eat food.Among these people, civil servants already had the upper hand in numbers, so they were naturally the most obsessed. After Gu Qingcheng fell, the first to wake up was the vigilant military general, and the last to react with a clear expression was usually in the court. The civil servants with the most fierce tongues.

It was a good dance, but in the end it turned into this. Everything that Gu Qingcheng planned was in vain, and he even put his body on it. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army.

After a while of silence in the hall, some officials who are used to talking came out to smooth things over, opening their eyes and talking nonsense as if nothing had happened just now, and praised Gu Qingcheng to the emperor, "The second princess has a novel idea. , It must have taken a lot of thought to arrange this dance, Your Majesty is blessed to have such a princess!"

"Yes, the second princess is extraordinary and talented."

If someone starts, someone will naturally follow. This has been the law of the court since ancient times.

Gu Qingxin looked at her nose and nose, looking at her heart, noncommittal, only heard her father's forgiving and peaceful voice said, "I know Qingcheng's heart, come, and reward the second princess with ten red corals and a pair of red sandalwood plum blossom brook screens. "

Without the expected surprise. It would be nice to have a consolation reward. Gu Qingxin "kindly" put herself in Gu Qingcheng's place.

The banquet that was supposed to continue continued, and when the sound of silk and bamboo resounded in the empty hall, everything returned to its original state. It seemed that everything just happened never happened, but it was unknown how many people remembered it in their hearts.

The emperor would not stay for the whole celebration banquet, and neither would Gu Qingxin.

When passing by Xu Mu's seat, Gu Qingxin happened to meet Xu Mu's staring gaze. She slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and it seemed that thousands of words were contained in those sparkling eyes, tenderness and comfort. .

Silence is better than sound, Xu Mu only felt his heart pounding at the moment of being watched, everything around him became the background, and he was never watched again. He seemed to understand what little Xing Xing wanted to say to him.

Her eyes said, wait for the dust to settle.

Xu Mu was suddenly full of confidence in the future.

A long time ago, he was most afraid that little Xingxing would not remember him; then, he was afraid that little Xingxing would alienate him; later on, he hoped that he could get closer to little Xingxing; finally, he hoped that little Xingxing could see him in his eyes. After the expedition, he was uneasy about marrying someone else; but now, it seems that he has nothing to fear.

No knots, no worries, peace of mind, joy, the clouds clear and the sky clears, and the clouds and mists are cleared to see the blue sky, that's all I can say.

Not long after the emperor, concubines and princesses left, the ministers should also get up.

Xu Mu and Deng Zhixiang went out side by side with the flow of people. Deng Zhixiang beside him had always been a drunkard. As a close comrade in arms, how could he not know.At this moment Deng Zhixiang drank a lot of wine, he was a little tipsy, and his walking was a little unsteady at the moment, so Xu Mu put a shoulder on his shoulder and half-supported Deng Zhixiang to go out.

Xu Mu didn't drink much. In fact, it was because he didn't focus on drinking. Just looking at the little princess not far away, he already felt drunk and full. He didn't need to drink to fill up. full stomach.

He probably doesn't know yet, this situation can be described by the words "beautiful and delicious".

As soon as he dragged the drunk Deng Zhixiang out of the gate of the palace, there was a gust of palm wind coming from behind, and Xu Mu'er heard the surge of air flow.

There is no need to react, the body that has been trained for a long time has already made an evasive movement, probably because of Deng Zhixiang's "burden", so he only pushed back three steps, if he was himself, he would have hidden ten steps away at this moment.

"Shangguan Feng, what do you mean?"

Before Xu Mu could speak, Deng Zhixiang, who was awakened from his drunkenness by the action just now, became impatient. He also said who dared to attack General Xu at this moment. It turned out to be Shangguan Feng, this lunatic!He's still the son of the prime minister's family, and I don't know where the prime minister's upbringing came from?

Shangguan Feng stood still, the back of his face was red on both sides, his clothes were a little messy, there were some wet marks on the cuffs and collar of the skirt, but at this moment his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Xu Mu fiercely.

Xu Mu also faced Shangguan Feng's fierce gaze without showing any weakness, calmly, calmly, and calmly.

Under the night, the cool wind was light and frivolous, blowing the corners of the two people's clothes, one black and one white looked at each other, like a conspicuous dividing line, the Chu River Han border, each doing its own thing.

Deng Zhixiang was blown by the cold wind and experienced the accident just now. He was mostly sober, shook off Xu Mu's hand, stepped forward a few steps, and walked towards Shangguan Feng who was confronting Xu Mu with great momentum, and said mockingly, " I said Mr. Shangguan, it’s so late and everyone is going home. What are you doing? We just came back from victory today. The move you made just now was fatal. It’s about murdering a court general at the gate of the palace. Are you so courageous!"

Shangguan Feng turned his head and looked at the obstructive and talkative Deng Zhixiang in front of him, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he waved his palm at Deng Zhixiang. He only wanted this obstructive person to disappear in front of him immediately.

His fist was held in mid-air, and Shangguan Feng looked angrily at Deng Zhixiang's eyes that were not angry but smiled, only to hear the other party grinningly say, "Oh, don't do it, our military generals didn't even do it, don't you civil servants often move gentlemen?" Do you put your mouth or hands around your mouth? Are you going to break the rules now?"
