On how heartthrobs can save the world [system]
Chapter 26 This dance is like a goddess
"Why are you so fierce," the woman laughed softly, and said softly, "The servant girl is much prettier than that An Niang."
As she spoke, she got closer and closer, and when she saw Bai Xuhua's eyes under the mask, her heart was filled with tenderness, and she said infatuatedly, "What's the good of following that nameless dancer? If you follow me, I can call you Enter the Jiaofang Division, be a court musician, and present music for His Majesty."
"If you can play the song well, please His Majesty, you will be rich and prosperous, and have a bright future, and you will have everything—"
"Then what if I don't want to?"
Bai Xuhua leaned back slightly, avoiding the dancer who was almost touching his face, and his voice was extremely cold.
The dancer was slightly startled, then snorted softly and said, "It's fine if you don't want to."
She lowered her voice slightly, and said: "As long as you play another piece today and make that annoying person lose face, what I said before still counts."
After she finished saying this sentence, she took the initiative to step back a little, but there was still a look of thought in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, and it was obvious at a glance that what she said just now was probably just a lie.
It never occurred to her that Bai Xuhua would reject her directly.
She stepped back a little, and it was difficult for Bai Xuhua to hold her anymore, so he let go of his hand and said, "Did the prince send you here?"
As far as the matter is concerned, what this person said before, if it is facing an ordinary luthier, it is indeed extremely attractive.
For a luthier who makes a living from his skills, the most wealthy place he can meet in this life is probably the imperial palace.Although Chunmanlou is an extremely wealthy place, no matter how rich it is, it is still a place of Goulan, and it cannot compare with the status of the Chu Palace.
No matter how noble a luthier is, facing the temptation of fame and fortune, he still has to hesitate a little bit.
It's a pity that Bai Xuhua is not a luthier, and he doesn't need to rely on skills to make a living.Therefore, he seemed extremely indifferent to what the dancer said.
The dancer was a little hesitant by his attitude, but when she saw the pair of eyes that were empty and loose, but in excellent shape, she became a little demented again.
"You know this, don't you feel tempted?" The dancer's voice was soft, with a deep seductive tone, she said: "That is the next His Majesty. If you work for the master, in the future flowers and beauties, gold and silver There will never be any less jewelry."
Bai Xuhua acted as if he hadn't heard of it, he nodded slightly after hearing this person's confirmation, and said: "It really is the prince's person."
He didn't delay any longer, stood up and said: "These tricks are really not on the table, Prince Chu's vision is so narrow, and he uses some villainous tricks, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit on the position of the Son of Heaven."
There was some sarcasm in his tone.
Bai Xuhua wore a white jade mask, so that people could not see the cold expression behind the mask.But he was tall and tall, with a wide robe and wide sleeves, and his voice was as cold as snow in the night, and a sip would chill his heart.
The dancer was stunned in place for a moment.
She just felt that the person in front of her suddenly seemed unapproachable.If it is said that he still had a soft look at the beginning, it made people feel charming and close to him.Now that he is cold, he is like a cold moon that cannot be touched by Jue Ya.
High above the ground, untainted by the world.Even if he only had one downcast eye, it would only make people feel flattered.
Telling her for a while, she didn't know how to react.
Why is it bold to reprimand him, dare to criticize the present prince?
But such a person should obviously belong to the outside world.
Can this imperial power that everyone fears really restrain him and make him fear in his heart?
If not, if he is not in this world of mortals, how can he treat him with the attitude of treating ordinary people?
While the dancers were still at a loss, the door of the small hall was pushed open again.The two guards sent by Chu Zihui appeared in front of the door, one on the left and the other on the right. Both of them had anxious expressions on their faces. Seeing that there were indeed other people in the small hall, they both hurriedly said: " What happened to the young master, did you get hurt by her?"
Bai Xuhua glanced at the flustered dancer who seemed to have just woken up, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm fine, she belongs to the prince, you take her back and give it to your master. He naturally knows what to do." Do."
His attitude towards the two guards was obviously much calmer, and the coldness that people dare not touch faded away a lot, but the dancer who was intimidated by his demeanor was still a little dazed, and only looked at him with a look of surprise, In that gaze, apart from panic, there was more infatuation.
The two guards were just relieved, they looked at each other, and they both saw some serious expressions in each other's eyes.
A guard grabbed the dancer, and just as she was about to make a sound, he pushed a pill into her mouth and threatened her out.The other person stayed in the hall, and after apologizing to Bai Xuhua, he whispered about what happened to Hongxiu.
Sure enough, some difficulties were encountered at Hongxiu's place, and this incident was actually quite ridiculous-a dancer from the Jiaofang Division was knocked to the ground for some reason when he went to their side.Before they could react, the dancer grabbed Hongxiu and insisted that Hongxiu pushed her.
The dancer was the one in the next song and dance, and she sprained her ankle, causing the whole hall to be in chaos.In the chaos, it was unknown who made the move, and cut the strings of Bai Xuhua's piano that was temporarily placed by Hongxiu.
All of this seemed too absurd, and the two guards were well-informed, but they only fought on the frontier, and they were only used to the cruelty of the battlefield, but they had never seen such a sinister move made by a **** woman. , I don't know how to deal with this situation.
They got caught, which gave the dancer a chance.
After Bai Xuhua finished listening, he sighed lightly, and said, "It really is like this."
The guard was frustrated and ashamed, he lowered his head, knelt down and said: "It's because the subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish him."
Bai Xuhua shook his head slightly, motioning him to get up, and said, "What is it that broke the strings of the zither, can you see it?"
The guard got up and said: "The thief used a hidden knife, a hidden weapon with one hand, cut the strings of the qin, and then nailed it to the body of the qin, and the subordinate brought that thing."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a cloth towel and opened it carefully, revealing a two-finger-long delicate machete inside.
The guard carefully handed the handle of the knife to Bai Xuhua, Bai Xuhua took it, stroked it carefully, and said, "It's a good thing."
Those who use this good thing must be a capable person.Sending this kind of people to do this kind of thing—this His Royal Highness is really incompetent and stupid enough.
Bai Xuhua handed back the scimitar, and continued: "Did someone take the violin that was placed with your master?"
"I have already sent someone to fetch it," said the guard, "The red-sleeve girl pointed out someone."
They are Chu Zihui's confidantes, so they naturally know that Hongxiu is not simple, and the people around Hongxiu have communicated with them before, so they can be regarded as acquaintances, so they can rest assured.
Moreover, Chu Zihui would never just ask Hongxiu's men to bring the qin, he would always send a few more people.
Bai Xuhua nodded lightly, and after asking about the matter, he asked the guard to stand outside the door, and continued to watch the scene of the banquet by himself.
In just this moment, the singing and dancing had changed again, he glanced at Ruan Suyu's position, but he never saw anyone there.He hurriedly looked elsewhere, and after a while, he saw her again.
Ruan Suyu wore a light peach colored shirt today, making her look even more delicate, lovely and pure.She was sitting with a young girl affectionately, and she didn't know what they were talking next to each other.
"Give me a copy of her recording." Bai Xuhua knocked on the system in time, and looked at Ruan Suyu with interest.
Ruan Suyu can be said to be a typical example of not getting up early without profit. If she wants to do something, it must be driven by some interest.If it was said that she was really familiar with that young girl, he would not believe it.
The seat of the girl's father is even lower than that of the heroine's father, so I really can't see any benefits to claim.
"I'm very sorry, host." The system paused before speaking: "Ruan Suyu's detailed information cannot be obtained by the system, but I can adjust the body data for you."
Bai Xuhua sighed softly, and said, "Okay, then help me adjust my hearing to the maximum."
"If you adjust, you will have some pain," the system said: "Be patient."
Bai Xuhua responded, and the system cautiously raised his data. In just a moment, Bai Xuhua heard countless small voices coming into his ears. The severe pain was blocked by the system in just a moment.
"Bring back my data," Bai Xuhua let out a breath, and said, "There is a reason for pain."
The system hesitated for a moment, then complied.Bai Xuhua felt the intense pain coming from his mind again. There were too many voices pouring into his ears, which made him unable to adapt for a while, and also unable to find out when the situation was.
There was the rustling of cloth, the clink of exchanging cups, whispering, snickering and ridiculing.The imperceptible noise in the melodious music that controls the dancers' movements, and the very slight creaking sound of the table's wood being pressed, all mixed together and turned into a noisy buzzing sound.
Bai Xuhua's face turned pale, and the weakness visible to the naked eye was covered by the white jade mask.
Although the voice in his ears was noisy and blank, Bai Xuhua's mind was still clear and calm.
He didn't even change his breathing. After adapting for a while, he focused his mind and searched for Ruan Suyu's voice.
After throwing away those small noises, the human voice became clearer. Some officials whispered to each other, discussing which dancer was more beautiful and which piece of music was the best.
Topics range from the intertwining of power among officials, fighting each other's bureaucratic accents, to the land of fireworks, Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.Then from the rouge and gouache among girls, gold and silver jewelry, to the young man, gossip in his spare time.
Bai Xuhua sorted out the past little by little, and after a long while, he finally heard a familiar voice.
"What are you afraid of? Do as I said, your sister's position is already taken by you."
It was Ruan Suyu's voice.
Bai Xuhua concentrated and listened attentively, and the other voices became meaningless humming, only those two young girl's voices, every word was extremely clear.
"Sister Ruan... I'm really scared," another girl's voice said, "I'm fine now, and I can find a good family in the future. Thank you very much, but..."
Ruan Suyu interrupted her, her voice was still gentle, and she said persuasively: "You are satisfied now, huh? You have such a status now because your sister made a mistake. Wait until she recovers." Come on, can't you guess who she owes her current situation to?"
"You can only be safe and sound if you make your mother become your father's official wife and completely let your sister and aunt fall into the mud."
The girl's voice was a little trembling, she said: "My good sister, don't say it here, if someone hears it..."
"So what if I hear it? What are you afraid of? Now there are a few people who can listen to others, and you are too timid."
The girl was almost begging her, the two of them argued again, Ruan Suyu finally said: "Are you really satisfied with your current situation?"
She lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "Do you want to do it or not? Do you listen to me, huh?"
The girl hurriedly said: "I, of course I listened, but this matter—"
"If you listen to me, you will lose all your useless conscience," Ruan Suyu sneered in a low voice, and she said, "After this matter is done, I will ask you to be the side concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince." , are you going to do it or not?"
This sentence not only shocked the girl, but also shocked Bai Xuhua.He looked closely at Ruan Suyu's direction, and saw that she was close to the girl, almost hugging each other.The young girl looked distressed, she was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Sister Ruan, are you serious?"
"Of course it is true."
Ruan Suyu laughed lowly again, it could be said that she was quite charming.
Bai Xuhua listened intently for a while, but he didn't hear anything else useful, so he could only restrain his mind, asked the system to restore the data, frowned for a while, and then said: "What time is it?"
"It's almost ugly time (one to three in the morning)."
The system replied in a low voice: "It's about to be the last match."
Bai Xuhua responded, then raised his voice slightly, and called the guards outside to come in.
The guard opened the door carefully and came in, seeing Bai Xuhua and asking, "Have you brought the qin?"
The guard said: "Here it is, but do you want to use it now?"
Bai Xuhua nodded slightly, and said, "Put it here with me."
The guard responded, and retreated again. Not long after, he came in with the qin in his hand, arranged it carefully for Bai Xuhua, and even asked, "Master, do you want to burn incense to wash your hands?"
Bai Xuhua nodded slightly, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
This is what promise means.
The guard then took another small incense burner, came in with a copper basin filled with hot water, and placed it in front of Bai Xuhua, in case he couldn't see it, the guard even knocked on the copper basin so that Bai Xuhua could find it. place.
Bai Xuhua thanked him, then washed his hands carefully, wiped them off with a clean soft handkerchief, then lightly picked the piano, and only stopped when he heard the sound as usual.
The guards lit the incense burner for him, and wisps of faint fragrance permeated the air. Bai Xuhua sat quietly and waited silently.
There wasn't even a slight bend in his back.
The guard tidied up the things in the house, saw that Bai Xuhua had stopped making any noise, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he quietly retreated.
The singing and dancing has been going on for nearly two hours, no matter how energetic people are, they will be exhausted by now.Bai Xuhua didn't know how long he had to wait before he heard that the music that had never stopped gradually faded away.
The noise of the crowd also subsided along with the music, and the hall quickly quieted down, making Chu Zihui's voice clear and distinct.
"The surprise prepared by the minister for the father can already be seen at this moment, does the father want to watch it?"
With a respectful expression and a slight smile on his face, he looked directly at Emperor Chu and asked this question.
Emperor Chu was silent for a while, then laughed loudly: "I want to have a look at what Hui'er prepared for me, and what it is, I will present it now."
Chu Zihui smiled slightly, and he said: "My son's surprise is not an object, but a dance that is rarely seen in this world."
The expression in Emperor Chu's eyes was obscure, and he said: "Since it is a dance that Hui'er praises so much, I'm afraid I have never seen it before. Now, let me open my eyes."
Chu Zihui said: "Father was joking, although this dance is rare, but my son only wants to use it, to make father happy."
When he said this, he clapped his hands. Before Emperor Chu had time to speak, he felt a faint fragrance, sweeping away the drowsiness and fatigue from the long banquet.
Chu Zihui also avoided in time, returned to his seat, and opened his eyes for Emperor Chu.
With the light fragrance blowing, there is a bright red petal.
Bai Xuhua played the first note just in time.
Zheng-!
The music of the qin is extremely inconspicuous.
But Bai Xuhua deliberately asked the system to bless it and amplify the sound, and the faint sound of the piano was clearly sent to everyone's ears.
The ending sound fades away, if there is nothing.The petals are falling one after another, and there seems to be no time to stop.
Hongxiu came quietly at this moment.
This rain of colorful flowers not only relieved the tiredness of the banquet, but also added a bit of hazy feeling to the place.
So that the red figure appeared quietly.
No one knows exactly when she appeared.
Bai Xuhua closed his eyes, and gently plucked the strings.
The sound of music gurgled like flowing water.
Hongxiu moved with the music.
Her graceful figure is like a curvy willow, and the bright red veil flew out of the wide sleeves in an instant. The movements of Bai Xuhua's fingertips were not fast, and it could even be said to be gentle. It was also the same as the movements of his fingertips, slow and slow.
But Hongxiu's movements couldn't be called slow.
The red gauze intertwined, rolled up the petals that were about to fall to the ground, and danced around the red sleeves.
Bai Xuhua plays casually.
Hongxiu also dances casually.
They seem to have a tacit understanding, the faster Bai Xuhua's music is, the faster the movement of Hongxiu is, and the slower the movement of Bai Xuhua is, the slower the movement of Hongxiu is.
It is in the palace at this time.
What Bai Xuhua saw in his eyes and what he heard in his ears was richness, corruption, and decay. His music was lingering and long, but there was a kind of indifference and indifference, which made people panic like hearing the sound of a fairy.
With his music, Hongxiu spun into a delicate flower.
Her veil has never fallen off, her eyebrows are also hazy in the hazy beauty, and her black hair is scattered, flying up with her dress.
This dancing pose is so fascinating.
What a beautiful sight.
She waved her hand, bent her waist, turned around, and looked back.
It makes people really realize what beauty is.
It seems to be faintly visible, the beauty's feet are covered with white snow, she is dancing among thousands of flowers, she is extremely beautiful, gorgeous, and extremely prosperous, it is almost like a scene of a prosperous age.
Everything seems to be indistinct in this dance.
It makes people feel as if in a dream, they are seeing the Nine Heavens Goddess dancing, and the music is the crowing of the phoenix.
Who is the dancer?
Bai Xuhua opened his eyes in a daze, and with the last tone, he met Hong Xiu's eyes.
Those charming eyes looked unexpectedly innocent at the moment.
It made Bai Xuhua suddenly think of the woman who once picked plums in the snow barefoot for him.
She wears a red dress with wide sleeves, and her long hair hangs loose.
He clearly has an extremely charming appearance, but when he smiles, he is as innocent as a child.
Like a jade made of blood fat, born like a sin, pure like a child.
——The dancer is Ningyu.
Not red sleeves.
With a sound of "Zheng", the slender and tough strings had already been snapped by Bai Xuhua!
His ten fingers were injured by the strings, and blood slowly overflowed. Fortunately, at this moment, everyone was staring at Hong Xiu, and the system also canceled the sound blessing in time, so the last sound of strings breaking was not heard. Others hear.
Bai Xuhua's hands were already stained red with blood, all ten of his fingers were cut, and the blood dripped continuously, falling on Qin's body, it was shockingly bright red.
Bai Xuhua withdrew his hand silently, and at the same time said to the system: "Don't block it."
Do not block the current pain.
Only the pain at the fingertips seemed to give him a sense of reality.
"She is still Ningyu."
After a while, Bai Xuhua didn't speak until Chu Zihui had already stood in front of Hongxiu and asked for credit.
"But it's not Ningyu either."
Hong Xiu's last look made Bai Xuhua see Ning Yu, that Ning Yu who has the same soul and face as Hong Xiu, but has two completely different styles.
Ningyu is really naive to the bottom of her heart.
But Hongxiu is calm and rational, and his heart is completely dark.
Bai Xuhua clenched his hands tightly and regained his senses. He looked at the scene at the banquet and got up right in front of Ruan Suyu.
At this moment, it was originally a matter among the royal family of Chu State.
Logically speaking, no one should intervene in it.
Ruan Suyu got up.
She had already returned to the position of Ruan's father, and Ruan's father beside her was also shocked by her sudden standing up, and wanted to hold her, but Ruan Suyu broke away without a trace.
Ruan Suyu instantly became the focus of the whole banquet.
With a slight smile on her face, she looked directly at Emperor Chu, and after saluting with him, she spoke slowly.
"Suyu is reckless, please punish him later, but at this moment, Suyu has something to do."
She said: "This person's identity is suspicious. I heard about such a dance when my sisters were gossiping. There is only one person in the world who can do it."
Bai Xuhua stood up slowly, with some coldness reflected in his eyes, and he was forced to suppress him again, returning to emptiness.
Ruan Suyu raised her voice and said: "That is the leader of Chunman Building today, the oiran Hongxiu!"
Chu Zihui frowned, and looked at her sideways. Seeing his reaction, Ruan Suyu was even more confident, and she said: "If that's the case, this person who can't stand on the stage will enter a country. Jun's banquet, I'm afraid it will make people laugh and be generous."
At this moment, it was Jing Xiuran who showed up first.
He took a look at Ruan Suyu, then took the initiative to come out, and said: "This girl's dance has reached the pinnacle, even if she is a member of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, she is enough to be in the elegant hall. Is she right? , what else is important?"
Ruan Suyu said: "Oh? Mr. Jing has also confirmed that this person is from Chunmanlou?"
She didn't listen to all of Jing Xiuran's words, but only grasped one of them tightly, and said with a sneer: "Forgive me, the people in the fireworks land, from top to bottom, are all picky things. No matter how good she dances, she still lost her innocence, how could she come here and dirty His Majesty's eyes?"
Jing Xiuran's brows were so tight that they were about to be knotted, he said: "That's not the case—it's just that people with such dancing skills, regardless of their status, are worthy of respect."
Ruan Suyu took a look at him, sneered, and said, "I'm afraid only Mr. Jing thinks so."
She ignored Jing Xiuran, but said to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, if such filthy and filthy people can become great treasures now, will someone follow suit in the future and bring the sons and daughters to you , using the name of performing dances to flatter you?"
This is very poisonous.
Chu Zihui didn't like to come forward by himself, and now he has some bad ties with Ruan Suyu, if he came forward to refute, he might be interpreted as "flirting" with Ruan Suyu, he couldn't stand this disgusting feeling.
Furthermore, he is the one who brought the red sleeves here, no matter how reasonable his words are, he will inevitably be suspected of defending himself.
Bai Xuhua appeared at this moment.
He was the only one in the small hall, so no one stopped him and told him to leave the small hall easily.
Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.
"Every industry in the world is high or low, but it's all up to the world to decide."
His voice was not loud.
But it was enough to call attention to him.
Bai Xuhua put his hands in his sleeves. He was dressed in a high crown and a white jade mask. Just looking at him, he felt a sense of mystery.
When Chu Zihui heard his voice, his expression finally changed a little, revealing a trace of anxiety, which was suppressed by him in an instant.It's just that although this change is fast, it still falls into the eyes of some caring people.
Bai Xuhua didn't wait for Chu Zihui to speak, he approached slowly, his figure was slender and straight, he walked extremely slowly, but also extremely steady.He said: "Miss Ruan just went to Chunmanlou a few days ago, and now she can say these words."
Ruan Suyu was already stunned, she said in astonishment: "...Bai Gongzi?"
She never had too much malice towards Bai Xuhua.
Bai Xuhua nodded slightly, Chu Zihui couldn't bear it anymore and leaned over to help him, but when his palms touched, he unexpectedly touched wet hands, and smelled a trace of blood at the end of his nose, he immediately said: "your hands--"
what's going on?
"I'm fine." Bai Xuhua lowered his eyes slightly, and he said: "I just broke the string and accidentally scratched it."
Chu Zihui wanted to say something again, but when Bai Xuhua shook his head slightly, he could only frown and stop.Bai Xuhua took his hand out of Chu Zihui's, and everyone saw the blood on his fingertips.
Ruan Suyu's complexion changed a few times, she said: "Young master played the zither for her, to make her happy?"
Bai Xuhua said coldly: "Yes."
From his appearance to the present, his attitude has been extremely indifferent and indifferent, as if he is a theatergoer, and everyone other than him is just a lonely shadow in the play.
He didn't even salute Emperor Chu.
Behavior and behavior can be described as extremely bold and impolite, but it makes people feel inexplicably that it should be like this.
Such a person doesn't need to salute anyone.
He is the fairy sitting on the cloud, the untouchable cold moon on the edge of the cliff, the unstoppable cold snow in winter, and the feast in the water that will shatter when touched.
This is Bai Xuhua's own bearing.
Even if others can't see his face, they can still know what kind of magnificence this person should be.
Not to mention that Ruan Suyu had seen his face before, seeing the white jade mask now, she felt as if she saw his face.
She said: "Young master, why do you want to do it for..." Ruan Suyu paused, but she still didn't say anything cruel, and then said: "For this kind of people to caress?"
If it was an ordinary person, she was afraid that she would sneer, mocking why the other party wanted to flatter the king, which was in vain.
Bai Xuhua didn't look sideways, even when he heard Ruan Suyu's words, his eyes never fell on her, but he still stared ahead in a vain manner, maintaining a posture of not being able to see.
He said calmly, "She is my friend."
Because he was his friend, he came to play the piano for her.
As she spoke, she got closer and closer, and when she saw Bai Xuhua's eyes under the mask, her heart was filled with tenderness, and she said infatuatedly, "What's the good of following that nameless dancer? If you follow me, I can call you Enter the Jiaofang Division, be a court musician, and present music for His Majesty."
"If you can play the song well, please His Majesty, you will be rich and prosperous, and have a bright future, and you will have everything—"
"Then what if I don't want to?"
Bai Xuhua leaned back slightly, avoiding the dancer who was almost touching his face, and his voice was extremely cold.
The dancer was slightly startled, then snorted softly and said, "It's fine if you don't want to."
She lowered her voice slightly, and said: "As long as you play another piece today and make that annoying person lose face, what I said before still counts."
After she finished saying this sentence, she took the initiative to step back a little, but there was still a look of thought in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, and it was obvious at a glance that what she said just now was probably just a lie.
It never occurred to her that Bai Xuhua would reject her directly.
She stepped back a little, and it was difficult for Bai Xuhua to hold her anymore, so he let go of his hand and said, "Did the prince send you here?"
As far as the matter is concerned, what this person said before, if it is facing an ordinary luthier, it is indeed extremely attractive.
For a luthier who makes a living from his skills, the most wealthy place he can meet in this life is probably the imperial palace.Although Chunmanlou is an extremely wealthy place, no matter how rich it is, it is still a place of Goulan, and it cannot compare with the status of the Chu Palace.
No matter how noble a luthier is, facing the temptation of fame and fortune, he still has to hesitate a little bit.
It's a pity that Bai Xuhua is not a luthier, and he doesn't need to rely on skills to make a living.Therefore, he seemed extremely indifferent to what the dancer said.
The dancer was a little hesitant by his attitude, but when she saw the pair of eyes that were empty and loose, but in excellent shape, she became a little demented again.
"You know this, don't you feel tempted?" The dancer's voice was soft, with a deep seductive tone, she said: "That is the next His Majesty. If you work for the master, in the future flowers and beauties, gold and silver There will never be any less jewelry."
Bai Xuhua acted as if he hadn't heard of it, he nodded slightly after hearing this person's confirmation, and said: "It really is the prince's person."
He didn't delay any longer, stood up and said: "These tricks are really not on the table, Prince Chu's vision is so narrow, and he uses some villainous tricks, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit on the position of the Son of Heaven."
There was some sarcasm in his tone.
Bai Xuhua wore a white jade mask, so that people could not see the cold expression behind the mask.But he was tall and tall, with a wide robe and wide sleeves, and his voice was as cold as snow in the night, and a sip would chill his heart.
The dancer was stunned in place for a moment.
She just felt that the person in front of her suddenly seemed unapproachable.If it is said that he still had a soft look at the beginning, it made people feel charming and close to him.Now that he is cold, he is like a cold moon that cannot be touched by Jue Ya.
High above the ground, untainted by the world.Even if he only had one downcast eye, it would only make people feel flattered.
Telling her for a while, she didn't know how to react.
Why is it bold to reprimand him, dare to criticize the present prince?
But such a person should obviously belong to the outside world.
Can this imperial power that everyone fears really restrain him and make him fear in his heart?
If not, if he is not in this world of mortals, how can he treat him with the attitude of treating ordinary people?
While the dancers were still at a loss, the door of the small hall was pushed open again.The two guards sent by Chu Zihui appeared in front of the door, one on the left and the other on the right. Both of them had anxious expressions on their faces. Seeing that there were indeed other people in the small hall, they both hurriedly said: " What happened to the young master, did you get hurt by her?"
Bai Xuhua glanced at the flustered dancer who seemed to have just woken up, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm fine, she belongs to the prince, you take her back and give it to your master. He naturally knows what to do." Do."
His attitude towards the two guards was obviously much calmer, and the coldness that people dare not touch faded away a lot, but the dancer who was intimidated by his demeanor was still a little dazed, and only looked at him with a look of surprise, In that gaze, apart from panic, there was more infatuation.
The two guards were just relieved, they looked at each other, and they both saw some serious expressions in each other's eyes.
A guard grabbed the dancer, and just as she was about to make a sound, he pushed a pill into her mouth and threatened her out.The other person stayed in the hall, and after apologizing to Bai Xuhua, he whispered about what happened to Hongxiu.
Sure enough, some difficulties were encountered at Hongxiu's place, and this incident was actually quite ridiculous-a dancer from the Jiaofang Division was knocked to the ground for some reason when he went to their side.Before they could react, the dancer grabbed Hongxiu and insisted that Hongxiu pushed her.
The dancer was the one in the next song and dance, and she sprained her ankle, causing the whole hall to be in chaos.In the chaos, it was unknown who made the move, and cut the strings of Bai Xuhua's piano that was temporarily placed by Hongxiu.
All of this seemed too absurd, and the two guards were well-informed, but they only fought on the frontier, and they were only used to the cruelty of the battlefield, but they had never seen such a sinister move made by a **** woman. , I don't know how to deal with this situation.
They got caught, which gave the dancer a chance.
After Bai Xuhua finished listening, he sighed lightly, and said, "It really is like this."
The guard was frustrated and ashamed, he lowered his head, knelt down and said: "It's because the subordinate is not doing his job well, please punish him."
Bai Xuhua shook his head slightly, motioning him to get up, and said, "What is it that broke the strings of the zither, can you see it?"
The guard got up and said: "The thief used a hidden knife, a hidden weapon with one hand, cut the strings of the qin, and then nailed it to the body of the qin, and the subordinate brought that thing."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a cloth towel and opened it carefully, revealing a two-finger-long delicate machete inside.
The guard carefully handed the handle of the knife to Bai Xuhua, Bai Xuhua took it, stroked it carefully, and said, "It's a good thing."
Those who use this good thing must be a capable person.Sending this kind of people to do this kind of thing—this His Royal Highness is really incompetent and stupid enough.
Bai Xuhua handed back the scimitar, and continued: "Did someone take the violin that was placed with your master?"
"I have already sent someone to fetch it," said the guard, "The red-sleeve girl pointed out someone."
They are Chu Zihui's confidantes, so they naturally know that Hongxiu is not simple, and the people around Hongxiu have communicated with them before, so they can be regarded as acquaintances, so they can rest assured.
Moreover, Chu Zihui would never just ask Hongxiu's men to bring the qin, he would always send a few more people.
Bai Xuhua nodded lightly, and after asking about the matter, he asked the guard to stand outside the door, and continued to watch the scene of the banquet by himself.
In just this moment, the singing and dancing had changed again, he glanced at Ruan Suyu's position, but he never saw anyone there.He hurriedly looked elsewhere, and after a while, he saw her again.
Ruan Suyu wore a light peach colored shirt today, making her look even more delicate, lovely and pure.She was sitting with a young girl affectionately, and she didn't know what they were talking next to each other.
"Give me a copy of her recording." Bai Xuhua knocked on the system in time, and looked at Ruan Suyu with interest.
Ruan Suyu can be said to be a typical example of not getting up early without profit. If she wants to do something, it must be driven by some interest.If it was said that she was really familiar with that young girl, he would not believe it.
The seat of the girl's father is even lower than that of the heroine's father, so I really can't see any benefits to claim.
"I'm very sorry, host." The system paused before speaking: "Ruan Suyu's detailed information cannot be obtained by the system, but I can adjust the body data for you."
Bai Xuhua sighed softly, and said, "Okay, then help me adjust my hearing to the maximum."
"If you adjust, you will have some pain," the system said: "Be patient."
Bai Xuhua responded, and the system cautiously raised his data. In just a moment, Bai Xuhua heard countless small voices coming into his ears. The severe pain was blocked by the system in just a moment.
"Bring back my data," Bai Xuhua let out a breath, and said, "There is a reason for pain."
The system hesitated for a moment, then complied.Bai Xuhua felt the intense pain coming from his mind again. There were too many voices pouring into his ears, which made him unable to adapt for a while, and also unable to find out when the situation was.
There was the rustling of cloth, the clink of exchanging cups, whispering, snickering and ridiculing.The imperceptible noise in the melodious music that controls the dancers' movements, and the very slight creaking sound of the table's wood being pressed, all mixed together and turned into a noisy buzzing sound.
Bai Xuhua's face turned pale, and the weakness visible to the naked eye was covered by the white jade mask.
Although the voice in his ears was noisy and blank, Bai Xuhua's mind was still clear and calm.
He didn't even change his breathing. After adapting for a while, he focused his mind and searched for Ruan Suyu's voice.
After throwing away those small noises, the human voice became clearer. Some officials whispered to each other, discussing which dancer was more beautiful and which piece of music was the best.
Topics range from the intertwining of power among officials, fighting each other's bureaucratic accents, to the land of fireworks, Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.Then from the rouge and gouache among girls, gold and silver jewelry, to the young man, gossip in his spare time.
Bai Xuhua sorted out the past little by little, and after a long while, he finally heard a familiar voice.
"What are you afraid of? Do as I said, your sister's position is already taken by you."
It was Ruan Suyu's voice.
Bai Xuhua concentrated and listened attentively, and the other voices became meaningless humming, only those two young girl's voices, every word was extremely clear.
"Sister Ruan... I'm really scared," another girl's voice said, "I'm fine now, and I can find a good family in the future. Thank you very much, but..."
Ruan Suyu interrupted her, her voice was still gentle, and she said persuasively: "You are satisfied now, huh? You have such a status now because your sister made a mistake. Wait until she recovers." Come on, can't you guess who she owes her current situation to?"
"You can only be safe and sound if you make your mother become your father's official wife and completely let your sister and aunt fall into the mud."
The girl's voice was a little trembling, she said: "My good sister, don't say it here, if someone hears it..."
"So what if I hear it? What are you afraid of? Now there are a few people who can listen to others, and you are too timid."
The girl was almost begging her, the two of them argued again, Ruan Suyu finally said: "Are you really satisfied with your current situation?"
She lowered her voice and said in a low voice: "Do you want to do it or not? Do you listen to me, huh?"
The girl hurriedly said: "I, of course I listened, but this matter—"
"If you listen to me, you will lose all your useless conscience," Ruan Suyu sneered in a low voice, and she said, "After this matter is done, I will ask you to be the side concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince." , are you going to do it or not?"
This sentence not only shocked the girl, but also shocked Bai Xuhua.He looked closely at Ruan Suyu's direction, and saw that she was close to the girl, almost hugging each other.The young girl looked distressed, she was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Sister Ruan, are you serious?"
"Of course it is true."
Ruan Suyu laughed lowly again, it could be said that she was quite charming.
Bai Xuhua listened intently for a while, but he didn't hear anything else useful, so he could only restrain his mind, asked the system to restore the data, frowned for a while, and then said: "What time is it?"
"It's almost ugly time (one to three in the morning)."
The system replied in a low voice: "It's about to be the last match."
Bai Xuhua responded, then raised his voice slightly, and called the guards outside to come in.
The guard opened the door carefully and came in, seeing Bai Xuhua and asking, "Have you brought the qin?"
The guard said: "Here it is, but do you want to use it now?"
Bai Xuhua nodded slightly, and said, "Put it here with me."
The guard responded, and retreated again. Not long after, he came in with the qin in his hand, arranged it carefully for Bai Xuhua, and even asked, "Master, do you want to burn incense to wash your hands?"
Bai Xuhua nodded slightly, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
This is what promise means.
The guard then took another small incense burner, came in with a copper basin filled with hot water, and placed it in front of Bai Xuhua, in case he couldn't see it, the guard even knocked on the copper basin so that Bai Xuhua could find it. place.
Bai Xuhua thanked him, then washed his hands carefully, wiped them off with a clean soft handkerchief, then lightly picked the piano, and only stopped when he heard the sound as usual.
The guards lit the incense burner for him, and wisps of faint fragrance permeated the air. Bai Xuhua sat quietly and waited silently.
There wasn't even a slight bend in his back.
The guard tidied up the things in the house, saw that Bai Xuhua had stopped making any noise, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he quietly retreated.
The singing and dancing has been going on for nearly two hours, no matter how energetic people are, they will be exhausted by now.Bai Xuhua didn't know how long he had to wait before he heard that the music that had never stopped gradually faded away.
The noise of the crowd also subsided along with the music, and the hall quickly quieted down, making Chu Zihui's voice clear and distinct.
"The surprise prepared by the minister for the father can already be seen at this moment, does the father want to watch it?"
With a respectful expression and a slight smile on his face, he looked directly at Emperor Chu and asked this question.
Emperor Chu was silent for a while, then laughed loudly: "I want to have a look at what Hui'er prepared for me, and what it is, I will present it now."
Chu Zihui smiled slightly, and he said: "My son's surprise is not an object, but a dance that is rarely seen in this world."
The expression in Emperor Chu's eyes was obscure, and he said: "Since it is a dance that Hui'er praises so much, I'm afraid I have never seen it before. Now, let me open my eyes."
Chu Zihui said: "Father was joking, although this dance is rare, but my son only wants to use it, to make father happy."
When he said this, he clapped his hands. Before Emperor Chu had time to speak, he felt a faint fragrance, sweeping away the drowsiness and fatigue from the long banquet.
Chu Zihui also avoided in time, returned to his seat, and opened his eyes for Emperor Chu.
With the light fragrance blowing, there is a bright red petal.
Bai Xuhua played the first note just in time.
Zheng-!
The music of the qin is extremely inconspicuous.
But Bai Xuhua deliberately asked the system to bless it and amplify the sound, and the faint sound of the piano was clearly sent to everyone's ears.
The ending sound fades away, if there is nothing.The petals are falling one after another, and there seems to be no time to stop.
Hongxiu came quietly at this moment.
This rain of colorful flowers not only relieved the tiredness of the banquet, but also added a bit of hazy feeling to the place.
So that the red figure appeared quietly.
No one knows exactly when she appeared.
Bai Xuhua closed his eyes, and gently plucked the strings.
The sound of music gurgled like flowing water.
Hongxiu moved with the music.
Her graceful figure is like a curvy willow, and the bright red veil flew out of the wide sleeves in an instant. The movements of Bai Xuhua's fingertips were not fast, and it could even be said to be gentle. It was also the same as the movements of his fingertips, slow and slow.
But Hongxiu's movements couldn't be called slow.
The red gauze intertwined, rolled up the petals that were about to fall to the ground, and danced around the red sleeves.
Bai Xuhua plays casually.
Hongxiu also dances casually.
They seem to have a tacit understanding, the faster Bai Xuhua's music is, the faster the movement of Hongxiu is, and the slower the movement of Bai Xuhua is, the slower the movement of Hongxiu is.
It is in the palace at this time.
What Bai Xuhua saw in his eyes and what he heard in his ears was richness, corruption, and decay. His music was lingering and long, but there was a kind of indifference and indifference, which made people panic like hearing the sound of a fairy.
With his music, Hongxiu spun into a delicate flower.
Her veil has never fallen off, her eyebrows are also hazy in the hazy beauty, and her black hair is scattered, flying up with her dress.
This dancing pose is so fascinating.
What a beautiful sight.
She waved her hand, bent her waist, turned around, and looked back.
It makes people really realize what beauty is.
It seems to be faintly visible, the beauty's feet are covered with white snow, she is dancing among thousands of flowers, she is extremely beautiful, gorgeous, and extremely prosperous, it is almost like a scene of a prosperous age.
Everything seems to be indistinct in this dance.
It makes people feel as if in a dream, they are seeing the Nine Heavens Goddess dancing, and the music is the crowing of the phoenix.
Who is the dancer?
Bai Xuhua opened his eyes in a daze, and with the last tone, he met Hong Xiu's eyes.
Those charming eyes looked unexpectedly innocent at the moment.
It made Bai Xuhua suddenly think of the woman who once picked plums in the snow barefoot for him.
She wears a red dress with wide sleeves, and her long hair hangs loose.
He clearly has an extremely charming appearance, but when he smiles, he is as innocent as a child.
Like a jade made of blood fat, born like a sin, pure like a child.
——The dancer is Ningyu.
Not red sleeves.
With a sound of "Zheng", the slender and tough strings had already been snapped by Bai Xuhua!
His ten fingers were injured by the strings, and blood slowly overflowed. Fortunately, at this moment, everyone was staring at Hong Xiu, and the system also canceled the sound blessing in time, so the last sound of strings breaking was not heard. Others hear.
Bai Xuhua's hands were already stained red with blood, all ten of his fingers were cut, and the blood dripped continuously, falling on Qin's body, it was shockingly bright red.
Bai Xuhua withdrew his hand silently, and at the same time said to the system: "Don't block it."
Do not block the current pain.
Only the pain at the fingertips seemed to give him a sense of reality.
"She is still Ningyu."
After a while, Bai Xuhua didn't speak until Chu Zihui had already stood in front of Hongxiu and asked for credit.
"But it's not Ningyu either."
Hong Xiu's last look made Bai Xuhua see Ning Yu, that Ning Yu who has the same soul and face as Hong Xiu, but has two completely different styles.
Ningyu is really naive to the bottom of her heart.
But Hongxiu is calm and rational, and his heart is completely dark.
Bai Xuhua clenched his hands tightly and regained his senses. He looked at the scene at the banquet and got up right in front of Ruan Suyu.
At this moment, it was originally a matter among the royal family of Chu State.
Logically speaking, no one should intervene in it.
Ruan Suyu got up.
She had already returned to the position of Ruan's father, and Ruan's father beside her was also shocked by her sudden standing up, and wanted to hold her, but Ruan Suyu broke away without a trace.
Ruan Suyu instantly became the focus of the whole banquet.
With a slight smile on her face, she looked directly at Emperor Chu, and after saluting with him, she spoke slowly.
"Suyu is reckless, please punish him later, but at this moment, Suyu has something to do."
She said: "This person's identity is suspicious. I heard about such a dance when my sisters were gossiping. There is only one person in the world who can do it."
Bai Xuhua stood up slowly, with some coldness reflected in his eyes, and he was forced to suppress him again, returning to emptiness.
Ruan Suyu raised her voice and said: "That is the leader of Chunman Building today, the oiran Hongxiu!"
Chu Zihui frowned, and looked at her sideways. Seeing his reaction, Ruan Suyu was even more confident, and she said: "If that's the case, this person who can't stand on the stage will enter a country. Jun's banquet, I'm afraid it will make people laugh and be generous."
At this moment, it was Jing Xiuran who showed up first.
He took a look at Ruan Suyu, then took the initiative to come out, and said: "This girl's dance has reached the pinnacle, even if she is a member of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, she is enough to be in the elegant hall. Is she right? , what else is important?"
Ruan Suyu said: "Oh? Mr. Jing has also confirmed that this person is from Chunmanlou?"
She didn't listen to all of Jing Xiuran's words, but only grasped one of them tightly, and said with a sneer: "Forgive me, the people in the fireworks land, from top to bottom, are all picky things. No matter how good she dances, she still lost her innocence, how could she come here and dirty His Majesty's eyes?"
Jing Xiuran's brows were so tight that they were about to be knotted, he said: "That's not the case—it's just that people with such dancing skills, regardless of their status, are worthy of respect."
Ruan Suyu took a look at him, sneered, and said, "I'm afraid only Mr. Jing thinks so."
She ignored Jing Xiuran, but said to Emperor Chu: "Your Majesty, if such filthy and filthy people can become great treasures now, will someone follow suit in the future and bring the sons and daughters to you , using the name of performing dances to flatter you?"
This is very poisonous.
Chu Zihui didn't like to come forward by himself, and now he has some bad ties with Ruan Suyu, if he came forward to refute, he might be interpreted as "flirting" with Ruan Suyu, he couldn't stand this disgusting feeling.
Furthermore, he is the one who brought the red sleeves here, no matter how reasonable his words are, he will inevitably be suspected of defending himself.
Bai Xuhua appeared at this moment.
He was the only one in the small hall, so no one stopped him and told him to leave the small hall easily.
Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.
"Every industry in the world is high or low, but it's all up to the world to decide."
His voice was not loud.
But it was enough to call attention to him.
Bai Xuhua put his hands in his sleeves. He was dressed in a high crown and a white jade mask. Just looking at him, he felt a sense of mystery.
When Chu Zihui heard his voice, his expression finally changed a little, revealing a trace of anxiety, which was suppressed by him in an instant.It's just that although this change is fast, it still falls into the eyes of some caring people.
Bai Xuhua didn't wait for Chu Zihui to speak, he approached slowly, his figure was slender and straight, he walked extremely slowly, but also extremely steady.He said: "Miss Ruan just went to Chunmanlou a few days ago, and now she can say these words."
Ruan Suyu was already stunned, she said in astonishment: "...Bai Gongzi?"
She never had too much malice towards Bai Xuhua.
Bai Xuhua nodded slightly, Chu Zihui couldn't bear it anymore and leaned over to help him, but when his palms touched, he unexpectedly touched wet hands, and smelled a trace of blood at the end of his nose, he immediately said: "your hands--"
what's going on?
"I'm fine." Bai Xuhua lowered his eyes slightly, and he said: "I just broke the string and accidentally scratched it."
Chu Zihui wanted to say something again, but when Bai Xuhua shook his head slightly, he could only frown and stop.Bai Xuhua took his hand out of Chu Zihui's, and everyone saw the blood on his fingertips.
Ruan Suyu's complexion changed a few times, she said: "Young master played the zither for her, to make her happy?"
Bai Xuhua said coldly: "Yes."
From his appearance to the present, his attitude has been extremely indifferent and indifferent, as if he is a theatergoer, and everyone other than him is just a lonely shadow in the play.
He didn't even salute Emperor Chu.
Behavior and behavior can be described as extremely bold and impolite, but it makes people feel inexplicably that it should be like this.
Such a person doesn't need to salute anyone.
He is the fairy sitting on the cloud, the untouchable cold moon on the edge of the cliff, the unstoppable cold snow in winter, and the feast in the water that will shatter when touched.
This is Bai Xuhua's own bearing.
Even if others can't see his face, they can still know what kind of magnificence this person should be.
Not to mention that Ruan Suyu had seen his face before, seeing the white jade mask now, she felt as if she saw his face.
She said: "Young master, why do you want to do it for..." Ruan Suyu paused, but she still didn't say anything cruel, and then said: "For this kind of people to caress?"
If it was an ordinary person, she was afraid that she would sneer, mocking why the other party wanted to flatter the king, which was in vain.
Bai Xuhua didn't look sideways, even when he heard Ruan Suyu's words, his eyes never fell on her, but he still stared ahead in a vain manner, maintaining a posture of not being able to see.
He said calmly, "She is my friend."
Because he was his friend, he came to play the piano for her.
