The Flower Guarding Bell Chapter 5: Public humiliation

All the people in the hall were impressed by this dance skill. After a long time, someone in the crowd shouted "Okay", and then one after another, there was continuous applause.

The leader of Dongyi sitting on the next high seat stared at Xiao Qingxue, who was seated, his gaze was presumptuous and direct.

After a bowl of booze, his eyes were slightly blurred, and his words were full of sighs.

"This lady's dancing skills are really amazing. I don't know why, when I see this lady, I think of Princess Qingyun from the previous dynasty."

His rough voice seemed to have a trace of nostalgia, and his face showed regret, "It is rumored that the Qingyun Princess of the previous dynasty was excellent in dancing skills, and her dance with a colorful dress that day was even more praised by the entire dynasty, but unfortunately— "

His remarks caused the lively atmosphere to stagnate for a moment, and some of the upward facing Han Chen's expressions turned a little bad.

Shang Chaoen cut off the chatter, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and hurriedly smiled, "This minister has made a slip of the tongue, and I should be punished. Your Majesty, this minister will give you a toast."

"General Shang is serious."

Li Changqing didn't see joy or anger on his face, he also raised his glass and drank it all.

Na Yunzhe put down the wine glass with a smile on her face, "General Shang doesn't know anything, this Xiao Jieyu of my Dajing Kingdom's dancing skills is also not inferior to that of the princess of the previous dynasty. Sister, you say Isn't it?"

Hearing the words, Xiao Qingxue raised her eyes to look at the queen in the seat, her voice was cold, "The lady is very praised."

"What's wrong, this lady's surname is also Xiao?" Shang Chaoen's eyes showed a stronger interest, if it wasn't for the fact that he was in the hall at the moment, he would have already pulled off her veil.

Na Yunzhe saw all of this, and then turned to the man beside her to act like a spoiled child, "Your Majesty, speaking of it, my concubine has never seen my sister dance a Han dance, so I don't know how the colorful dance is so impressive. Amazed?"

Li Changqing looked at her, then curved her lips, and patted the back of her hand lightly, "It's okay, if you're interested, ask her to dance again."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Qingxue was always silent below. She thought that a heart that had already been numb would not hurt anymore, but why is it still a dull throbbing at this moment?

She didn't know how she resigned and returned to the side hall, where the maids had already prepared the dance clothes.

Xiao Qingxue caressed her dance clothes slightly in a trance. The first time she wore it, she was still the honorable Princess Chen, but at this moment, she was an unidentified ban.

After changing into her dance clothes, she stroked the veil on her face.

This is probably the last bit of dignity she deceives herself?

"My Lady—"

Lingsu's soft breath was full of worry.

"Let's go."

It is still the familiar hall, the familiar night sky, the sound of music is still the same, but the people of the past are deceased.

Xiao Qingxue trapped herself in dancing, and only at this moment can she indulge in her own world.

She has been completely cut off from the surrounding voices and everyone's eyes.

Everything happened, just a move when she danced to the back of her waist. She only felt that the belt around her waist loosened and fell to the ground, and her heart suddenly thumped.

At this moment, the palace maids holding the lanterns screamed and fell, one after another, the palace lanterns were smashed one after another, and the palace fell into darkness in an instant.

Everyone was caught off guard and didn't know what was going on.

In the darkness, Xiao Qingxue shuddered as she tightened the loose dance clothes, until a large cloak shrouded her back, tightly wrapping her whole body.

"Miss, are you all right?"

It's Lingsu.

Qing Xueyu was still in shock, her body was still trembling, and she was clutching her cloak tightly. At this time, the hall was bright again.

But everyone's eyes stopped on the face of the woman in the hall.

The veil on Xiao Qingxue's face had slipped off at some point, and the terrifying long scar appeared unobstructed.

Someone made a hoarse sound, but it was frightening.

Their eyes were different, stabbing at her like needles.

Seeing all this, Li Changqing finally sank his face and said coldly, "Ashamed, step back!"

Xiao Qingxue didn't know how she was taken out of the hall by Lingsu. Her actions were a little stiff. Even though it was a midsummer night, she felt an unprecedented cold.

She tightened her cloak, but she couldn't dispel the chill.

It wasn't until she returned to the cold palace that Lingsu became furious and cursed.

"Niangniang, this is all the Queen's ghost! The slaves heard the Queen's maids secretly talking after you went to the palace. It turns out that the dance clothes have already been manipulated, and she just wants you to make a fool of yourself in front of everyone. , let's go tell the emperor!"

Qingxue shook her head, "It doesn't matter anymore, everything doesn't matter anymore."

"My Lady!"

Compared to Lingsu's excitement, Qingxue just instructed lightly, "Help me prepare hot water, I want to take a bath and change clothes."

Lingsu frowned for a while, then finally bit her lip and exited.

In the end, there was only one person left in the hall, Xiao Qingxue shrunk in the corner of the bed, hugged her knees, and slowly buried her head in it.

At this time, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and then, a figure quietly came behind the woman.

All this, the woman does not notice.

"Beauty, I have found you!"

An abrupt, rough voice sounded, and then, Qingxue, who was caught off guard, was forced into her arms from behind.

She screamed and struggled, and threw a slap in resistance.

"Crack!"

The person who came was stunned and stunned for a moment.

Qingxue hurriedly broke free from his restraint, and looked at the person who came vigilantly, frightened to the point of shock on her pale face.

"It's you!"

That Dongyi leader.

Shang Chaoen stretched out his tongue and licked the slightly painful corner of his mouth, looked up and down at the woman huddled in the corner, and tutted twice with interest.

"It is rumored that the Qing Yun princess of the previous dynasty had already sacrificed herself for the country, but I don't know that Emperor Dajing actually has the trick of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea." He said with a playful tone, "I just don't know how this princess tastes. , but how?"

Xiao Qingxue's heart trembled. Judging from his series of actions, he knew that he must be able to do it. He forced himself to calm down, his voice was frosty and intimidating.

"I am Jieyu whom he has appointed. If he knew that you were rude to me, the general would not have a good outcome. If I leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened."

Shang Chaoen seemed to have heard something funny, looked around, spread his hands and asked her: "Princess is sure, this is the treatment that a concubine should have?"

She sank the corners of her mouth, but couldn't refute, but he pressed closer.

"Since Li Changqing doesn't cherish you, why don't you follow me? It's better to be my woman than to be alone here for life."

"Presumptuous!" Qingxue shouted angrily, "Lingsu! Where is Lingsu!"

"Don't shout, that girl was knocked out by me long ago. Now in this cold palace, I'm afraid you won't be able to call another person." The moment he was teasing, he rushed over to grab her hands, and the other One hand rubbed her cheek, "Although it's disfigured, the princess's demeanor is still sultry, and now it's cheaper for me."
