The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 512: Many Traps (2)
Xiao Jun saw that he was wearing an indigo blue silver-patterned Sixiruyi narrow-sleeved cloud brocade robe today, a dragon-shaped pendant on the chishou jade belt, and a dragon-patterned purse of the same color. He had no other trivial accessories, and he looked neat and tidy. Free and easy, refreshed, he pointed to a small nanmu table under Qingchen's seat and said: "Be flat, there is no need to be so polite, since you have prepared songs and dances for me, I want to see if you can come up with some What kind of tricks come, sit down and have a few drinks with me first."

Xiao Jue got up and took a seat, took the jug from a waiter's hand and said, "I'll do it myself."

Concubine Ning, who was on the opposite side, saw that the emperor was happy, and that the musicians and dancers were all ready, so she asked, "I wonder what the name of the dance His Royal Highness prepared for the emperor?"

Xiao Jue said with a hearty smile: "Mei Xue is startling."

Qingchen's eyes jumped, and he looked at Xiao Jue in surprise, but saw him raise his glass openly, and said to the emperor: "Brother Emperor, I respect you for this first cup of wine."

Xiao Jun raised his glass, nodded and drank it all down. Qingchen was not sure what Xiao Jue meant, but annoyance arose in his heart for no reason. It turned out that it had been re-arranged for this song and dance. There was an additional wooden frame like a swing frame in the hall, but it was covered by the colored silk hanging from the beam. Dyed cowhide.

And on the beam not far in front of her, a huge glazed lantern was hung. The lantern was filled with petals. As long as the lantern was pulled, petals would fall inside. This was also prepared for the dance on the field.

Qingchen didn't know what the wooden frame was for, but he saw those dancers dancing in snow-white gauze, and each of them held a red plum imitated from palace gauze. Smell the quiet plum fragrance.

With the sound of Qingyue's flute, but seeing the petals flying in the hall, a woman in colorful clothes floated down from the air, danced around a few times before landing lightly, her figure was so light that she seemed to be soaring.

Xiao Jun clapped her hands and said, "Good!"

The emperor applauded, and the others naturally followed suit.Qingchen finally understood the purpose of the wooden frame. Those long wooden wedges were covered with colored ribbons. It was because someone was pulling the colored ribbons behind the curtain so that people could fall from the sky and fly in the air without being injured. The rope is also tied to the body of the woman in colorful clothes to relax and make her dance look more light and elegant.

Because the dance is Jinghong, you need to use the elasticity of the tendon rope to show your light body. From time to time, you will leave the ground and dance with your sleeves, appearing in the clouds like a fairy, which is really wonderful.

The sleeves fluttered in the wind, and the petals fluttered like snow in the wind. Occasionally, a petal fell into her wine glass. Qing Chen looked down at the whirling petals, and was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Jun turned her head inadvertently and saw her staring at the wine glass blankly. She thought she was jealous and felt unhappy, so she leaned over and said softly: "It's okay, but it's not as good as your dancing posture in the lake that night. Far."

Qingchen chuckled and asked, "Does the emperor still remember?"

Xiao Jun shook her hand and said with a smile: "How can I not remember, I am not a person who is greedy for beauty, but the appearance of you that night, I have firmly imprinted in my mind and cannot forget, my Chen'er will always be the best."

Qingchen pursed her lips slightly, but she was overjoyed in her heart, "The emperor said that because he prefers the concubine, but the concubine thinks that she dances much better than the concubine."

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, "Is that why you are a little unhappy?"

Qing Chen just laughed and said nothing, and he was even more sure that she was playing a petty temper just now.

The gestures and gestures of the women in the arena exude a soul-stirring beauty, such a graceful dancing posture, such an excellent face, so that the women can't help but feel jealous, but the emperor has been tilting his body and whispering to the noble concubine beside him. whisper.

The queen sighed softly, maybe this is love, even though she is beautiful, there is only one person in her eyes.

The dance was coming to an end, and the frightened bird was about to fly away. Sure enough, the dancer in colorful clothes bounced lightly, and her body suddenly rose into the air. Just when everyone thought she was about to spread her arms and fly, But hearing a "click", like the sound of something breaking, the dancer's face changed suddenly, and she fell quickly from mid-air with a cry of surprise.

This sudden situation caught everyone off guard, and before they had time to rescue her, the woman had already fallen heavily to the ground, unable to move and her life was unknown.At the same time, a cowhide band on the wooden frame was subjected to enormous force because the dancer fell to the ground, and the wooden wedge on the shelf was loosened violently, and under the elasticity of the cowhide band, it slammed like a sharp knife. The arrow roared towards the direction where Qingchen was sitting.

Everyone's eyes were still on the woman whose life and death were uncertain, and they didn't notice this scene at all, and Qingchen didn't even pay attention. Seeing the wooden wedge stabbing her chest, the emperor beside him didn't hesitate, and quickly rushed forward Picking her up, she turned around and fell to the ground. At this moment, the sharp wooden wedge hit the back of the chair with a "bang", knocking the carved sandalwood chair backwards.

Qing Chen broke out in a cold sweat instantly, if Xiao Jun hadn't taken her in time and carried her away, the sharp wooden wedge would have pierced her chest directly, and even the gods would not be able to save her by then.

The hall fell into deathly silence for a moment, Xiao Jun got up and helped Qingchen who was pale, and asked anxiously: "Is there any injury?" Then he shouted at Fuquan who was stunned beside him: "Don't go yet. Call the doctor!"

Fuquan shivered suddenly, and ran out of the hall, "Quick, hurry up and announce the imperial physician!"

Qingchen firmly grasped Xiao Jun's sleeve, obviously frightened, even his lips were trembling, "Chenqie, Chenqie is fine, the emperor doesn't need to worry."

Xiao Jun obviously felt that she was trembling all over. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous. He hugged her tightly in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let you Something happened."

The queen seemed to be frightened by the moment just now, and it took a while to react, and hurriedly came over and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay, are you hurt anywhere?"

Xiao Jun waved her hand to signal the queen not to worry, "I'm fine, the queen don't need to panic."

Seeing that the two were safe, the queen turned around and scolded sharply: "Hurry up and see what's going on, how could such a thing happen so well, it almost hurt the emperor and Concubine Rong Gui, what do the eunuchs behind the scenes do? ?”

Xiao Jun helped Qingchen to sit on the chair, and glanced coldly at everyone in the hall. Just now, he really hoped that it was an accident rather than man-made, "Check it out for me, and find out what is the reason!"
