Long Sword and Jun Wu

Chapter 132 Suddenly enlightened

Song Zhimin had no choice but to repeat: "His Royal Highness Prince Yong broke his hand while playing polo. The imperial physician said that he injured his tendons and bones and it would take at least two months to heal. So he sent someone to inform us that His Royal Highness can no longer dance with you, Madam Gongsun."
Gongsun Ling's headache became even worse. Now, even the expert who could play the piano and music was gone, and she felt even more stressed.

Song Zhimin comforted her, "Madam Gongsun, don't worry. It's just that His Royal Highness Yongwang can't perform with you. We still have many musicians in the opera who can cooperate with you. Ni, the dance director, you should select a group of musicians to cooperate with Madam Gongsun. Be sure to choose a dance music that suits her heart so that she can perform to her heart's content."
Ni An: "Yes, sir." He agreed verbally, but the birthday of Qianqiu was approaching, and if the musicians were asked to rehearse a piece of music again, not many people would be willing to do so.

Gongsun Ling was not optimistic either. She also knew the reality of the officialdom. Now that she seemed to have lost the "backer" of Prince Yong, everyone was gloating over her misfortune. How many people were really willing to be her musician and cooperate with her?

Song Zhimin's idea was simple. He just needed to ask another team of musicians to intensify rehearsals, so he left the matter to Ni An to arrange it and left.

Ni An also comforted her, "Don't worry, I will find a musician to cooperate with you. As long as you agree on the repertoire and rehearse hard, you can still catch up. There is still enough time."
Gongsun Ling nodded helplessly and bowed to Ni An, "Thank you, Aunt Ni."
After Ni An turned around and left, Gongsun Ling also stepped down from his shoulders. She sighed softly and walked aimlessly towards the back of the hall.

Walking out of Penglai Palace, along the long palace road, and then passing Hanliang Palace, I suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from the front.

Gongsun Ling, who was suffering from a headache, suddenly regained his spirits, his eyes lit up, and he continued to walk forward.

Without the palace wall blocking the way, the view ahead suddenly opens up and a large lake appears before your eyes.

"Wow!" Gongsun Ling did not hide her surprise. She did not expect that there was such a large lake in such a deep palace that she could hardly see the other side.

Walking to the lakeside and feeling the cool breeze, Gongsun Ling felt calm.

She leaned against the fence in a daze, not knowing how much time had passed. It seemed that several groups of palace maids and guards came and went, but no one came forward to disturb her.

Until a familiar call came.

"Ling'er".

Gongsun Ling came to his senses and looked back. It was Pei Min.

Pei Min walked over with a faint smile, "I went to Penglai Palace to look for you, but it seemed that no one knew where you went. I came all the way here, and the guard said he saw you by the Taiye Lake."
"I just want to get some fresh air." Gongsun Ling lazily turned back and continued to lie on the fence.

Seeing her dejected look, Pei Min was not in a hurry. He walked to her side, leaned his hands on the railing, and accompanied her in enjoying the cool breeze.

"It doesn't matter. There is still time. We can find a musician."
Gongsun Ling looked at him and asked, "You know everything?"
Pei Min nodded, "Yes. The Jinwu Guards couldn't have been unaware of the fact that the prince had fallen and was injured. The news spread throughout the Daming Palace in the morning."
Gongsun Ling turned back and sighed, "In fact, it's not just this that bothers me. I can't think of any dance to dance to. This incident made things worse. It seems that nothing is going well. If I can't stay in the opera house, I won't be able to find any clues about my biological father. Alas, do you think I am not compatible with this imperial city?"
Pei Min certainly didn't dare to agree with her. At this time, a white egret flew past them, tapped the water surface lightly, grabbed a fish, and flew away. Pei Min suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Gongsun Ling: "The first time I saw you dancing was by the West River. At that time, I had just arrived in Wangqiao Town, and you were washing clothes by the river with your friends. I saw you wearing a lush green shirt, waving a long piece of cloth in your hand, blooming with your body, and the water splashes were embellished by the morning sun, falling on you like gems. At that time, you were confident and vigorous, and your friends were all praising your dancing skills. It seemed that nothing could stump you."
After listening to this, Gongsun Ling blinked her shining eyes and slowly turned around to look at Pei Min.

Pei Min continued with a smile and said: "The second time I saw you dancing was also by the water. At that time, we walked to Binhuzhou and met Ying Wuming. You danced to the sound of his flute, with a fairy-like beauty. In fact, I was stunned at the time, but I didn't dare to say it."
Gongsun Ling was still staring at Pei Min without responding.

Pei Min turned his head and saw her staring at him. He couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her eyes, "What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"
After saying this, he thought of the tragedy that happened in her family after they met in Wangqiao Town, and the days when she was captured by the Ying sisters after she met Ying Wuming. Pei Min was worried that Gongsun Ling would be even more depressed when she recalled it, and he couldn't help but regret what he had just said, and he was actually a little scared.

Gongsun Ling did not answer. He turned his head and looked at the surface of Taiye Lake again. He thought about something for a while, looked back again, suddenly smiled happily, jumped forward and hugged Pei Min.

"Oh, I figured it out."
Gongsun Ling shouted happily and just wanted to pick Pei Min up and spin him around.

Pei Min was stunned by her embrace. He didn't know how to react for a moment because of the soft and beautiful girl in his arms. He could only stand there stupidly, at a loss.

But I was also glad that I didn't remind her of her sad past.

"Your recollection came at the right time. Now I know what dance to perform."
"Oh, it's good to think about it, it's good to know." Pei Min's face turned red. Even his ears were red.

Gongsun Ling looked at him excitedly, "Please keep this a secret for me. I need to find someone to help me. I need a lot of people to help me."
"Okay." Pei Min looked at her pretty and happy face and could only agree.

Pei Min stood there like a log, Gongsun Ling still held him, her face pressed against his chest. Her big worry had been solved, so she wanted to lean back and rest to calm down.

After a while, a voice interrupted Gongsun Ling who was enjoying herself.

"cough."

Gongsun Ling jumped away quickly, and this time it was her turn to blush. Pei Min was calmer, because he hadn't come to his senses yet.

The two looked at the person who spoke, and there was another panic. They hurriedly saluted the person.

Li Longji laughed and joked: "I know you have a good relationship, but there are too many people here..."
Gongsun Ling was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed and interrupted, saying: "Your Majesty, it was Gongsun Ling who was rash, but I came up with an idea and got carried away for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Longji never cared about such trivial matters. He just smiled and said, "What's your good idea? Can I hear it?"
Gongsun Ling knew that this matter still needed the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, so she asked Li Longji: "I heard that the grand banquets in the past were all held in the Linde Hall, but the weather is cool and pleasant during the Qianqiu Festival. Please allow the emperor to hold it by the Taiye Lake this time."
