Chunman Palace

Chapter 20 Sisters
The Promise Palace Listening Workshop.

In the red light, a smear of silver light touches the chaotic falling flowers, seventy or eighty golden bells follow the dancing posture crisply and lingeringly, under the pearly silver ornaments, like a waterfall of black silk, drape over the shoulders, the skin under the golden neck and jade neck is more than snow, and the sleeves are flowing, in the water-colored silk The shadow is like a blooming pink hibiscus.

When the dance music paused for a while, the beautiful figure also paused.

In a short while, she was in a hurry to control the strings, and her footsteps under the skirt were disordered, and she fell to the ground with the sound of a gong.

"My lord! Are you alright, my lord?" Mo'er was terrified, and quickly lifted him up to check his injuries.

"It's okay..." Lin Qingyu's body was weak, beads of sweat hung from his forehead, slid down his neck, and he opened his mouth to breathe hot air quickly, but his mouth was even dry and sweaty.

Mo'er said with some distress: "Little master, you really don't need to practice these things in midsummer. It's good to only know one instrument. You can practice this in autumn."

At this time, a woman in red clothes and a very beautiful face said: "Lin promised, we don't care whether you practice or not, but this streamer dance can only be seen in the summer when you dance it, and you can learn it in autumn." , and can only dance in the second year."

This streamer dance is a new exotic dance recorded by the music studio recently. Because it is extremely difficult to practice and it is in the heat of summer, the concubines in the palace are afraid of sticking to their bodies with sweat, and the emperor hates the extreme heat. .

But the more things like this, the more she has to learn, this is not just a dance, she will have other things by then.

Soon, it will be Longevity Day.

I have no long-term possessions, if I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to get the Sacred Heart in the future.

"Thank you Fangzhu for your guidance." Lin Qingyu stood up and continued to dance, and the music followed the dance.

Mo'er couldn't bear to watch any more, and ran to prepare some thirst-quenching soup.

Ever since the three of them got together at the concubine's place, my young master has been very diligent in going to the music hall, which is dedicated to performances of various festival songs, teaching many people, and many concubines in the palace also went to ask Wuqu for advice. The Sacred Heart favors.

Seeing that her young master is hardworking and always sweats profusely after practice, Mo'er specially prepares soup to cool down the heat.

After arriving at Yaohua Pavilion, Mo'er immediately went to the small kitchen to give instructions, but there were very few people there.

After Xiao Xizi was sent away, there was no new person to send her, so she couldn't take care of many things.

Mo'er sighed, and got up to gather firewood to boil water, when at the door, she saw Lingqiao coming in with a bundle of firewood.

"Lingqiao, you..." Seeing Lingqiao walking in a hurry, she added water to the porcelain pot after lighting the firewood, and took out many porcelain pots, which contained licorice, lotus seeds, lilies and other things.

Lingqiao raised her sleeve and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then turned around and asked in a low voice, "Sister Mo'er, can you give me the bottle of dried rose petals on the cabinet, I can't reach it."

Mo'er nodded, found a short stool to padded on it, reached for the glass and porcelain vase containing dried petals, and put it at the person's hand.

"Thank you, Sister Mo'er." Lingqiao opened the lid, picked up a handful of petals with a wooden clip and threw them into the water.

Mo'er couldn't help asking curiously: "What are you doing?"

Lingqiao fanned the fire with a fan while replying: "Master, I have been practicing in the listening workshop for the past few days, and I am always sweating when I come back, so I want to cook some rose lily soup to cool off the heat. It will be fragrant and sweet after cooling down. It's also more thirst-quenching."

"But why are you doing this? Why don't you ask them to help you?"

Lingqiao used a handkerchief to hold a piece of dried plums and handed it to someone, "Since Qiang Huan and Xiao Xizi were sent to Ye Ting restlessly, we are the only ones in this palace to serve the young master, and we have to wash clothes and clean the palace gates." Those in the yard are equally hard, so why should I bother to work for everyone.” She put down the veil, revealing a pair of callused and scarred hands, and the affected area was even redder due to soaking in water.

Mo'er bit her lip, pulled the person aside and sat down, said: "You take a rest first, I'll get some ointment to rub it on for you, and I'll just look at the porcelain pot when I get back."

Lingqiao shook her head slightly, and refused: "Sister Mo'er, why bother? Even if you came back and rubbed the medicine on me, I would have to starch and wash my clothes after a while, and let the water soak it. Wouldn't it be a waste of good things?" Ointment." Her eyes were dimmed, but the corners of her mouth were always raised, not feeling bitter.

In the listening room, the red silk is staggered, and the candlelight shines brightly.

Looking at the graceful black shadow through the veil, it is like a hanju floating on the water, swaying and giving off fragrance, dancing swiftly and stomping, jumping up again and again, lifting the veil, only the light pink dress is delicate and gaudy, ice-cold. Muscles and bones glistened under the candlelight, touching the hearts of the people.

The woman in red at the side nodded appreciatively, raised her lips and said, "Promise is the most qualified person I have ever met, although Promise is not the best age for dancing, but hard work can make up for it, and now this streamer dance has seen a little The prototype, just need to practice for a few more days, and tomorrow you won't have to come to the listening workshop again."

Lin Qingyu bowed and said, "I'm troubled by the owner of the workshop every day for these things. If I get the favor of the Sacred Heart in the future, I will thank you with generous gifts."

The master quickly raised her hand and smiled like a flower: "This is all my duty. I promise to be diligent and studious. It's only a matter of time before I succeed."

Mo'er at the side brought two bowls of rose water and offered them, "My lord is exhausted, so hurry up and use some rose lily soup. The servant also added some mint and sour leaves, it is the most refreshing and refreshing."

Lin Qingyu took a sip of it, and said with a smile: "You have a heart, the owner of the workshop should also use some, the summer is hot, the sour-sweet taste is very good."

"Promise the kindness, then I will be disrespectful."

Lin Qingyu took a rest in the listening workshop again, and asked the owner for a few scores before going back.

When she returned to the palace, she relieved her fatigue. She was anxious and had no desire to eat, so she immediately ordered: "Mo'er, prepare water for a bath."

Mo'er hurried over and said, "My lord, the hot water for bathing has been prepared and it's still warm."

It's so fast today.Lin Qingyu glanced at her, nodded, and when she got there, she only exposed her head outside the bathtub, closed her eyes and enjoyed the flower-scented hot water to soothe her whole body.

She suddenly felt cool air penetrate into her skin along the water, making her whole body feel comfortable, and she couldn't help groaning slightly: "Is there any mint in it? It's refreshing."

Mo'er submerged her hands in the water to help someone relax her shoulders, and said softly: "Yes, there are also lotus leaves, chrysanthemums, and ice chips, which Lingqiao prepared early in the morning." Before she could speak, she suddenly lowered her voice .

Lin Qingyu opened her eyes slightly and said, "Isn't Lingqiao going to clean the palace? Why does she have time to do this? Don't lie to me."

"The servant did not lie. There is a shortage of manpower in the palace. These are all specially helped by Lingqiao after finishing her job." Mo'er put a mahogany tray on the table, pointed to the few cups of red soup and said : "This rose lily soup was also made by Lingqiao in the small kitchen early in the morning. She really cares about the young master."

Lin Qingyu heard that there was something in Mo'er's words, and asked, "Do you want to ask me to let her come back to serve you?"

Mo'er lowered her head as if in default, her eyes were crystal clear and she was about to shed tears.

On that day, Mo'er was slapped by Concubine Min's side, she asked Lingqiao to give her medicine to comfort her, it seems that the relationship between the two has become better because of this, like sisters.

In fact, after Mu Pingting said those things to her, she deliberately brought Lingqiao back to serve her, but she was afraid that she had an old master and would not be dedicated in the future.

But now it seems...

"That's all, you go and tell her to stop what she's doing, have a good night's rest, and come back to work tomorrow."
