Chapter 151 Flying Dance
Yan Qingyi looked at her distraught appearance and felt both pained and anxious.
He raised his hand, but didn't dare to put it down.
Just sighed heavily.
"Ah He, don't think about it."
His voice was filled with the clumsy tenderness that was unique to young people.
"The dead cannot be resurrected. If my brother were still alive, he wouldn't want to see you abuse yourself like this."
Chen He's eyelashes trembled, and she forced back the surging tears.
yes.
If the gentleman were here, he would definitely tell her about it.
"Idiot."
Seeing that her expression had eased a little, Yan Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief and tried to change the subject to a lighter one.
"Let's not talk about this. Speaking of which, I have to go to the Chen Mansion later."
"Looking for Sui Xin."
Follow your heart.
Chen Suixin.
This name was like a feather, gently brushing against Chen He's tense heartstrings.
Her heart, which had become hard and cold due to rebirth and revenge, softened a little in an instant.
That was her only close friend.
After his rebirth, Chen He missed Sui Xin very much. However, more than a month ago, the old lady of the Chen family fell ill and missed her hometown, so Sui Xin personally accompanied her grandmother back to her hometown in Shaoyang to recuperate.
The two of them had been communicating through letters, so how come they didn't know that she had returned to Beijing?
"Sui Xin returned to Beijing?"
“She just arrived yesterday and went to the Shen Mansion to look for you, but you were not there.”
Yes, I have been busy with Xue Minglan and Zi Sui San these days and have not had time to return to the Shen Mansion.
Chen He's voice finally had a hint of life in it.
"Great! I'll go with you. I miss her too."
A bright and slightly shy smile appeared on Yan Qingyi's face, which he himself had not noticed.
"You might not know this, but Sui Xin is going to perform the Flying Dance at this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. She's probably practicing right now."
Shen He suddenly came back to his senses.
Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Flying Dance?
She took a deep breath and recalled everything that happened at this time in her previous life.
There was no flying dance at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in the previous life!
The palace banquet that year was mediocre and there were no outstanding programs.
Although Sui Xin loves dancing, she is a calm and peaceful person. She is definitely not the kind of person who would take the initiative to show off at a palace banquet.
She dances just because she loves it.
Pure love without any utilitarian purpose.
Who asked her to perform this flying dance that was destined to amaze everyone?
What purpose is hidden behind this?
Is it to make Sui Xin famous?
Or is it to make her fall into a trap that has already been set?
A chill instantly ran up Chen He's spine.
Half a month ago, she received a letter from Sui Xin.
In the letter, he freely described the misty scenery of Shaoyang, and between the lines was a yearning for the leisurely clouds in the mountains and fields. There was not a single word about returning to Beijing, let alone performing a dance at a palace banquet.
How could a person who is thousands of miles away be suddenly pushed to the forefront of this storm?
unless……
Someone deliberately "invited" her back from Shaoyang!
Chen He's heart sank inch by inch.
She raised her eyes and looked at Yan Qingyi again, with no emotion in her voice.
The memories of her past life flooded over her like a floodgate.
She remembers.
She remembered that after Xiao Jingren ascended the throne, in order to win over the newly rising Minister of War, he issued an imperial decree to marry Chen Suixin to the Minister's tyrannical only son.
She remembered that on her wedding day, Sui Xin wore a red wedding dress, but her face was paler than paper.
She remembered Yan Qingyi rushing to her like a madman, his eyes red, grabbing her shoulders and questioning her over and over again.
"Ah He, why don't you help her?"
"You are now the imperial concubine! A word from you is more effective than anything else!"
"Why don't you save her!"
yes.
Why didn't she save her?
Because at that time, her heart and eyes were full of Xiao Jingren, and she foolishly thought that everything he did was for the country and for their great cause.
She even tried to persuade Sui Xin, saying... to consider the overall situation.
Consider the overall situation!
What happened next?
Later, Yan Qingyi gathered a team from somewhere and actually led the troops to snatch Chen Suixin back.
That battle was brutal.
In the end, he was suppressed by the government and charged with treason.
One leg is broken.
The sunny boy who used to laugh loudly under the green hills has become a sinner with a crippled leg and a gloomy look in his eyes.
It was not until then that Chen He finally understood.
It turns out that Qingyi likes to follow his heart.
I have liked it for so many years.
It all started when they were studying and practicing calligraphy together at Qingshan Academy.
And her so-called "best friend" was so dull that she never saw through it.
How much of a failure was she as a human being in her previous life?
Even my friends are so incompetent!
Chen He's heart seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing her to feel so painful that she could hardly breathe.
The Yan Qingyi in front of him was still that spirited young man.
He looked at her with the clarity that only a young man could have in his eyes.
He doesn't know.
He knows nothing.
He didn't know that he would sacrifice his whole life for a girl in the future.
"Ah He?"
Seeing her pale face, Yan Qingyi called out worriedly.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Who is so influential that he could make Sui Xin rush back from Shaoyang just for a dance?"
Yan Qingyi was stunned by her question, and then scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Ah... well, that's a long story. Actually, this is all thanks to your sister."
"My sister?"
Chen He's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Chen Jiao is pregnant with a divine heir, and the Empress Dowager has announced a grand Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. His Highness the Third Prince has also requested an imperial decree to bring the Empress back home to celebrate the occasion. The Ministry of Rites has issued a grand banquet program, opening with the Flying Dance. The palace instructors all say that this dance is beyond the reach of mortals, and that only Sui Xin possesses the celestial aura and demeanor to capture its spirit. Upon hearing this, His Majesty was overjoyed and eagerly awaited the occasion. He sent Sui Xin a directive that very night, allowing her to return to the capital!"
I see.
It turns out that the root cause is here.
Chen He lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing all the emotions in them.
When she raised her eyes again, the terrifying coldness on her face had faded, leaving only a quiet sadness, as if she was still immersed in the thoughts of Yan Qingxiu.
"So...that's how it is."
She said softly, with just the right hint of realization in her tone.
"Yeah, so this is a great thing!"
In his heart, Chen He sneered.
Good thing?
It’s a good thing indeed.
Shen Jiao.
God's descendants.
Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Flying dance.
very nice.
It’s really... great.
Since you have put in so much effort to lay out this beautiful stage.
Then I...
If I don't go on stage myself and perform a revenge drama that you will never forget.
Wouldn't that be a shame to your kindness?
The corners of Chen He's lips curled up into a very shallow and cold arc.
Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Maybe, it's a good time.
