Nightfall, Bihe River shore, adjacent to the peach garden alley, beautiful flower beds extended to the surface of the river, behind the flower beds, three storeys of small buildings in the ring of the trellis standing high.
The Tuan Court was a famous brothel in the capital. There were expensive servants, and also powders that served as pillows for tens of thousands of people. Moreover, there were rumored to be some young ladies of the Shangguan family who had fallen behind.
The tall platform was built on the surface of the water, and its height was about the same as the second floor of the pavilion. On the third floor of the pavilion, there was a huge circular lamp with a picture of a laurel tree on it.
There were already many people gathered on both sides of the river bank and on the high platform. One by one, they began to speculate about the purpose of building this platform. Just as everyone was getting impatient from waiting, a figure suddenly descended from the sky. He held a ribbon in his hand as he lightly spun it around and landed on the high platform.
The figure slowly descended, as if it had come out of the bright moon. It was almost as if it was a fairy.
The lanterns at the back of the stage were hanging, making the woman's figure on the stage appear graceful. She held a ribbon in her hand and danced in the wind, graceful like a fairy.
The souls of the people on both sides of the road were almost sucked out by this figure. They only remembered to loudly cheer for it. The sounds of silk and bamboo became more urgent, and the women on the platform quickly rotated along with it.
If Su Yuyi was here, she would have definitely discovered that this woman's dance was very similar to hers, but it was only slightly more charming than hers. These two points of charm made her even more captivating, causing many to lose their composure.
As the sound of the silk bamboo slowed down, the woman on the high platform slowly stopped moving. She slowly bowed towards the bright moon on the third floor of the Rings Pavilion and grabbed the curtain that was hanging on the high platform. She then leaped and flew towards the bright moon.
They flew in from the moon and returned to the moon. It was like a fairy from the moon palace who came to the mortal world to leave a trail that attracted people's attention.
"Fairy! That's Fairy Yue Palace!"
"Who is that girl? How come I've never seen her perform such a devastatingly beautiful act before?"
Who knew how many people were asking about the identity of the dancing girl? The old procuress's face was full of smiles, but she didn't mention a single word about the woman's identity, no matter how much people grinded their lips.
It continued all the way until the middle of the moon. There were still many people on both sides of the high platform, unwilling to leave, waiting to see the fairy of the moon palace again. Unfortunately, they were destined to be unable to find anything.
On this night, there were countless people who were concerned about the fairy from the Moon Palace and dreamt of her. There was even a passionate scholar who drew a picture of the fairy from the Moon Palace and made a large sum of money.
Mu Yunyao walked out of the Imperial Palace with her face slightly flushed.
The smell of alcohol in the hall was too strong. Her senses were sharp, and the smell was making her feel uncomfortable. Walking out of the palace and into the carriage, he felt even more disgusted by the shaking, and his expression could not help but look a little sickly.
Second Wife Qi was a little worried as she asked, "Yunyao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, it's just that I have a headache and I made Second Aunt worry." If you feel uncomfortable, then rest immediately after you return to your residence. Don't think too much about anything." Although Mu Yunyao had stolen part of the limelight from Su Yuyi, causing the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi to not hold Su Yuyi in high regard, the influence was still on the two of them. The other officials and their followers ...
The noble young masters still treated Su Yu Yi like a fairy, she was worried that Mu Yun Yao would be affected.
"Alright, I'll listen to second aunt."
"That's right."
When they saw Mu Yunyao, they immediately revealed a happy expression. They first bowed to the Second Madam, and after being called out, they walked over to Mu Yunyao's side and said, "Miss, you've returned. The Madam has been waiting for you."
"I thought mother was going to sleep first. It's already so late, she shouldn't be feeling well when she gets up tomorrow." Mu Yunyao felt her heart ache. After bidding farewell to the Second Madam, she hurriedly walked towards the Primordial Moon Pavilion.
In the room, Su Qing was unable to sit still. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately came out and greeted, "Yao'er, you're back."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward and held Su Qing's hand, "Mother, it's so late. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Mother is worried about you. Where did you sleep?"
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but throw herself into Su Qing's embrace, her eyes turning slightly sour."Mother, I've let you worry, I'm fine. The palace feast is a big event, and I'm just a small character who doesn't have the qualifications to be schemed against at the palace feast. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you."
"That's good." Su Qing was finally relieved. After she relaxed, she felt a bit more sleepy. Mu Yunyao quickly coaxed her to sleep. She then got up and left Su Qing's room.
Jin Lan and Qiao Qiao stood by the door."Mistress, the water for the baths has been placed in, and the clothes have been placed by the side ..."
"Mm, you two can go rest now. It's getting late, I can come by myself."
"Yes, miss." Miss had never enjoyed being bathed by others, so they were used to it, but they did not insist.
Mu Yunyao comfortably took a bath, changed into a set of white clothes, and lightly rubbed her forehead.
It was already very late, but she wasn't sleepy at all. When she thought of the cinnabar dandelion that was placed in the courtyard, she couldn't help but put on her cloak and open the window.
"Yunyao!"
A voice filled with chilliness rang out. Mu Yunyao slightly widened her eyes, as if she had seen an illusion: King Yue ......
"Yunyao!" The voice sounded again, causing Mu Yunyao to look over with a calm expression. The moonlight was bright and white, and under the moonlight, the stalks of cinnabar dandelion looked like a dream. And under the laurel tree closest to the window on the second floor, a handsome figure stood there, slightly raising his head.
The river of stars next to her looked straight into her heart.
Titan! Mu Yunyao unconsciously tightened her fingers. Her heartbeat slightly quickened, and under the moonlight, the coldness around that person dissipated a bit. Looking up at her now, he seemed to have an illusion of gentleness as he lightly called out her name.
The sound of his feet hitting the ground made the peaceful lake in his heart emit a wave of energy.
King Yue's gaze was focused on Mu Yunyao, his eyes filled with deep determination. After he left Tomb City, his heart slowly calmed down and there was more time for him to clearly see his thoughts.
He did not regret that impulsive interrogation, because it was not only Mu Yunyao who was being interrogated, but himself as well. The longing after leaving, the worry after leaving, the joy after meeting each other ...
How could he not understand? He had fallen in love with a girl, a girl who was much younger than him but as intelligent as a fox and as cunning as a fox. He slowly raised his arm and faced Mu Yunyao, who seemed to be in a daze, at the window. He softly said, "Yunyao, jump down ..."
