The Fox Comes from Outer World

As I ate the snacks and drank the wine, I had a strange feeling.

I was wondering why I was here tonight.

It was probably for the last words that Chan Fei said, right? Tonight, she said, there was going to be a performance from Nanyun. I wasn't a Nanyu person, so naturally, I wouldn't be interested in that kind of performance. However, right now, I really need to listen to Nan Yu's native voice. Because, I discovered that my heart had unexpectedly started to waver …

The feeling I have towards Yan Hua seems to be getting weirder and weirder! When I saw him smile gently at Chan Fei and caress her belly as gently as he could, showing the nervousness and excitement of a new father, I felt a slight ache in my heart. What was with this mood? Am I jealous? Thinking about this, I started to panic, because I clearly liked Yueze, but why would I have such feelings for Yan Hua?

No, I would rather believe that it is the soul of the owner of this body. Because the real Bai Lian is fond of Yan Hua, my heart must have that strange feeling towards him, right?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I needed to listen to Nan Yu's native voice, which would more or less give me a more seductive air. I need him now. I need someone to help me make up my mind.

Tonight's banquet was always very lively. There were people who continuously toasted to the emperor and imperial concubines, and the performance in the middle of the hall was also changed from one batch to the other. I buried my head in my food and tried to make my figure the backdrop for the party. My efforts seemed to have paid off, and no one paid any attention to me. During this time, Yan Hua occasionally glanced in my direction, but he didn't see me because I was sitting very far away from him, and I was sitting in front of a group of beautiful noble ladies. When they saw Yan Hua looking over, they immediately revealed expressions of anticipation, as if they were eager for Yan Hua to immediately bring them into the harem … Under the cover of these ladies with strong desire, the pale-white me looked so insignificant. Even the palace maid who helped him pour the wine by Yan Hua's side seemed to be dressed more extravagantly than me!

I smiled bitterly. It wasn't easy for me to make it to the second half of the banquet. Finally, the legendary performance of Nan Yu State starts.

First, a father and daughter pair appeared on stage. They introduced themselves, saying that they were wandering artistes from the Southern Yu Country who had left their hometown due to the war. They walked all the way here, performing all the way here. The life of the wandering artists was very difficult. Their opening words had already caused the women in the palace to sigh in admiration, and now that Nanyu was standing on the stage of the Cang Wu Palace, it made people feel gratified. Although there were endless wars between the two countries, the common people still had many interactions in private.

After a simple opening speech, the performance officially began. The old man took a handful of harp and sat down on the side of the stage to play. The music suddenly began to play, and the young girl went up on stage to sing.

Alone, she acted in Yuchuan Opera, a one-man play, those stories about love and parting, in her soft voice, slowly and unhurried, gentle, melodious, faint and sad. It was a typical Southern and Northern melody. It was a melodious melody, and every sentence was soft and gentle, breaking off all sounds and causing one to uncontrollably sink into an ambiguous and melancholy … And I was lost in memory.

I thought of that night, some night in the summer, perhaps? Yueze and I once sneaked out of the palace to the Chu Hall in the south wing, where we heard such a play. It was already late at night. As a female official, I was responsible for accompanying His Majesty in reviewing the imperial reports. However, I was lazy by nature, so how could I endure the boring and long night? So by the time Yueze finished reading the memorial, I was already lying on the cot beside him, fast asleep. In a daze, as if candlelight, I saw the blurred and beautiful face. There was a pampered smile on his face, and his obsidian eyes looked down at me with an inexplicable reassurance. The magnolia fragrance of his body was distant and ethereal, as if it had passed through a long time of time and mist and entered the dream I had always longed for. Am I dreaming? To confirm this, I extended my hand towards those elegant eyes. "Yueze, you're beautiful …" Instead of avoiding it, he let my fingertips brush against his long, thick eyelashes. His eyelashes lightly trembled. Under the flickering candle light, he was like two small butterflies fluttering their wings …

I snapped out of my daze, rolled over, and sat up, realizing that I was not dreaming. Yueze was sitting next to me. Behind him, a mountain of memorials was piled up on the desk, but they had all been tidied up and stacked neatly. It was my job to sort out the reports, but I was lazy here. When I thought of this, I felt guilty and lowered my head in embarrassment. Yue Ze seemed to notice my distress and intimately leaned over and put his arm around my shoulders. "Ling'er, today's imperial reports have already been approved. Now we can go and rest. Are you sleepy? " I stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go and wait for His Majesty to rest." Yue Ze chuckled lightly and moved closer. "No, I don't want to rest yet. The night is beautiful, and I suddenly want to go out for a walk. "

I followed his gaze and looked out the window. Indeed, the summer night was quiet and beautiful, and the brilliant Milky Way hung in the sky like a jeweled belt. Yueze looked up at the stars, then back at me, and sighed. How could I waste such a good opportunity? Why don't we leave the palace and do some private interviews? "

A private interview? Was it to sneak out to play? At the mention of this, I naturally have to approve with both hands and feet! It's depressing to be stuck in the palace for the past few days. I've been wanting to go out of the palace for a long time! But when the Emperor left the palace, the formalities were complex, so I never got what I wanted. Who would have thought that tonight at midnight would actually turn out to be true!

To save trouble, Yueze and I disguised ourselves as eunuchs and palace maids, took two identity cards, and left the palace. In the middle of the night, the ordinary restaurants in the capital were no longer open, so we wandered around the streets and finally entered the brothels. In the alleyway of the southern building's Chu Hall, there was an elegant saying. In Nan Yu, known as the "Nightless Hall," we both changed into the attire of noble sons. We called for a few beautiful girls, then openly sat in the lobby and listened to the girls singing a little song …

They were singing a melodrama. In this kind of soft Southern and Chongqing village voice, a young woman with long silky silk sleeves walked over, looking as if she had just walked over from a beautiful and gentle place in the water. In their wide sleeves, their gentle fingers were raised, lightly blocking the hidden bitterness between their brows. And those light lotus steps were slow and graceful. With a glance, they turned around, revealing a bewitching beauty.

I felt like I was in a dream again. No, perhaps it was the continuation of the dream. That sweet, soft, and beautiful singing made one's mind go round and round, making one's intestines fall apart … Yueze looked at me in the hazy light and chuckled. His gaze was as warm as water. His wide sleeves fluttered as they rested on the armrest of my chair. He took my hand under his sleeve in the dim light and then kissed me in the ambiguous singing … Finally, the girls in the brothel turned pale, because we were both men.

In the end we were driven out by the mother of the brothel, who was not in the business of serving as a waiter.

"If you like men, please move to the Yu Hua Platform next door. There will be beautiful servants there! We only have the ladies here, sorry about you two! "
