Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 123: Bittersweet

Gongsun Ling looked at Ni An's walking back, a little depressed, sighed for a while, and comforted herself: It doesn't matter, the days are long, as long as she is still in this pear garden, there will always be a chance to find out.

At the moment, the most important thing is to prepare for the Sage Qianqiu Festival dance.

Looking at the four ornately carved walls, which were painted with many pictures of various dancers dancing gracefully, Gongsun Ling walked around the four walls to admire the murals, thinking as he walked.

What kind of dance can open the eyes of a saint?
Thinking and thinking, gradually, Gongsun Ling unknowingly took steps and danced around the dance hall.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Ni An, the palm dancer, returned to the hall again, just in time to see Gongsun Ling dancing with strange steps.

That graceful figure resembled someone in her memory, but time had passed and everything was gone. She had already left this land of fireworks, and she had not been heard from since. Only she was still lingering in this palace. , the simple joy of those green years has been buried together with the years of ignorance.

She really wanted to ask if this Gongsun Ling was her daughter?How is she doing now?Is it still the same way that you can become famous all over the world with just one dance?

She fell into a trance just thinking about it. Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of her and almost hit her.

"Ah~!"

Seeing that she was about to hit someone, Gongsun Ling hurriedly stopped, spun around, flipped upwards and back, and then stood not far in front of Ni An.

Ni An was also very frightened, but seeing Gongsun Ling react quickly and swiftly, he was very relieved.

"It seems that your dancing skills and skills are really good. No wonder the saint has a special regard for you and wants you to dance solo during the Qianqiu Festival."
Gongsun Ling laughed dryly, "Haha, Aunt Ni, are you looking for me?"
She had a little expectation. Now that Aunt Ni had come back, could it be that she had figured it out and was willing to admit that she knew her mother and was willing to tell her about the past?
Looking at Gongsun Ling's bright eyes, Ni An was a little dazed, but she forced herself to calm down.Nowadays, the world is dominated by saints, and that person died under random swords. She did not dare to take risks, and could not let the woman in her prime of life in front of her be affected by that little blood relationship.

Ni An turned cold again and said indifferently: "I forgot to tell you the location of the canteen. It's lunch time now. Are you tired? Go get something to eat first."
Gongsun Ling raised her eyes and looked at the small clock on the table, "Ah, it's already the right time, it's so fast." She didn't expect that the time passed so quickly while dancing, and she didn't notice it at all.

Ni An: "Let's go."
Seeing her turning around and leaving without looking back, Gongsun Ling had no choice but to follow her quickly.

The cafeteria was already filled with dancers, and it was bustling with everyone chatting and laughing. Gongsun Ling and Ni An appeared in the cafeteria together, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Gongsun Ling was a little uneasy and didn't understand where everyone's hostility came from.

Ni An was calm as usual. The dancers greeted her and she responded with a smile, and sat down with Gongsun Ling and a food tray.

Gongsun Ling looked at the food on the plate. It was full of color, aroma and taste. Today's dinner was boiled mutton, white meat slices with garlic paste, vegetables and fruits. It seemed that the saint really valued the pear garden. Even little ones like them The little dancing girl's food can be so rich.

But the atmosphere in the cafeteria suddenly became a little strange, and Gongsun Ling felt a little on pins and needles, not knowing what to eat.

After a few moments, someone couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke in a harsh tone. "Some people, thinking that they are stunningly beautiful, go out to seduce His Highness the Prince without thinking about their own identity. Are they qualified?"
Another voice immediately echoed, "Of course she's not qualified. His Royal Highness is performing music for the saint, and he's just using her as a backup dancer."
Another voice sounded, "I don't know how good my dancing skills are. Don't let me embarrass myself on stage and harm His Highness."
"Hahaha!~"

Laughs of ridicule rang out one after another, and the canteen became lively again.

The words were so obvious that Gongsun Ling knew very well that they were talking about her, but she had been growing up in the simple Wangqiao Town and had never encountered intrigues between women, so she didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing Gongsun Ling eating in silence, everyone thought she was being reserved and condescending, so they began to laugh louder and speak more outrageously.

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound.

The whole place fell silent.

Gongsun Ling saw Ni An put down the soup bowl with great force, making a loud noise.

"Can't you have a good meal? What are you making a fuss about?" Ni An said with a cold expression, his eyes sweeping over the dancing girls at the table who were making noises. They were so frightened by Ni An's eyes that they lowered their heads.

"Have you practiced the newly arranged dances? It seems that you have become proficient in gossiping now. I will test you guys later. If you don't know how, you don't need to participate in the Saint's Thousand Autumn Festival. "
"No, no, no, Aunt Ni, let's go and continue practicing."
The dancers all panicked, stopped their chopsticks and put down their bowls, got up in a hurry, and ran back to the dance practice hall.

Everyone was walking away, Ni An picked up the chopsticks and continued eating.

Gongsun Ling looked at Ni An and suddenly felt that she was actually very warm and not a cold person, so she smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Ni."
Ni An didn't even raise his head, "Thank you, I'm not helping you, I just hate those noisy voices."
Gongsun Ling really felt that she was cold-faced but warm-hearted, so she still smiled and said, "No matter why, in short, thank you."
After Ni An finished eating, she raised her head and looked at Gongsun Ling, "If you have time to talk here, why not focus more on this Qianqiu Festival? Don't forget that the person you are harmonizing with is His Highness the Prince. If you mess up, the entire Liyuan will be destroyed." They will all suffer disaster along with you."
Gongsun Ling stuck out her tongue, "Oh, I know."
Ni An ignored her and stood up to leave.

But after taking two steps, he stopped again, without looking back, but his tone slowed down, "There are many people in the palace, it's a huge whirlpool. We are all people who can't help ourselves, and you are on the cusp of the storm, but as long as you stay It's your duty to stay out of trouble, and there's actually nothing to be afraid of."
Gongsun Ling knew that she was reminding him, and felt extremely grateful, "I understand, Aunt Ni."
Ni An left without looking back.

After Gongsun Ling finished eating, she continued back to the dance practice hall just now, thinking about the dance steps while waiting for King Yong.

After Wei Shi, it was almost Shen Shi, and Yongwang Li Zecai arrived belatedly.

"I'm so sorry, Madam Gongsun, I was delayed because of something else." Li Ze came over as if he had been traveling all day long, with a tired look on his face.

Gongsun Ling hurriedly saluted, "I don't dare. It's the duty of a daughter of the people to wait for Your Highness."
Li Ze chuckled, "Then let's get started."
The two discussed which song to use as a tribute, and then decided on the dance steps for the harmony.

It's just that Li Ze is a half-hearted tuner, and all Gongsun Ling knows are folk songs. The two talked for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.
