Chapter 101 Adults are bad guys~
Pei Jingxu changed into a dress with Western characteristics.
The characteristic of this dress is that the veil hangs down to the ground, covering the cheeks.
She was wearing a platinum dress, like a goddess. She lifted her skirt and walked towards the red drum.
Because her face was covered, only the woman's graceful figure could be seen from afar. Her long veil hung down to the ground, leaving behind a brilliant galaxy wherever it passed.
After walking a few steps forward, Pei Jingxu finally saw Rong Jianxue.
On the side, Rong Baimao came to Rong Jianxue at some point, and while no one else was paying attention, he whispered something in his ear.
It goes without saying that Rong Baimao doesn't want his son to get involved in this mess.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Pei Jingxu's gaze fell on Shen Qianfan who was not far away.
Shen Qianfan still held a glass of wine in his hand, looking at Pei Jingxu with a half-smile, his eyes cold and complicated.
——He did it on purpose.
The light gauze curtain covered her eyebrows and eyes, adding a sense of haziness.
Unable to see her face clearly, the guests' attention was focused on her graceful figure.
Seeing that he could not persuade Rong Jianxue, Rong Baimao snorted coldly and left in anger.
Rong Jianxue held a zither in her hands.
Seeing Pei Jingxu, his eyes flickered slightly. He took a few steps forward and stood right in front of her.
"Master Master, are you going to play the piano here?"
Shen Qianfan finally realized that something was wrong, stood up from his seat, and curled his lips: "Second Lady is dancing on the drum, isn't it better for Master Shaofu to play the piano on the side?"
Rong Jianxue glanced at Shen Qianfan without any emotion, then retracted her gaze and turned to the person on the podium: "Your Majesty, may I accompany you here?"
As if he hadn't noticed anything wrong, the emperor laughed even more heartily: "Of course you can! Let me see if your piano skills have deteriorated over the years!"
"Father!" Shen Qianfan frowned slightly and said anxiously, "Master Young Master is playing the piano right in front of the Second Lady. Isn't that blocking Father's view of the dance?!"
What he cared more about was whether the emperor could focus all his attention on Pei Jingxu!
Just as he once said to Pei Jingxu, with that face of hers, if she entered the palace, she would be able to become a noble concubine within half a year!
She does have the face to do so.
With just one dance, Shen Qianfan could be sure that her father would notice her!
But now, Rong Jianxue appears halfway!
And Pei Jingxu covered his face again!
Shen Qianfan’s expression was very ugly.
"It's just a dance, don't be too harsh."
At this moment, the official focused all his attention on Rong Jianxue and had no time to care about so many other things!
Shen Qianfan frowned, and seeing that his majesty looked unhappy, he didn’t say anything else and sat down unwillingly.
Rong Jianxue turned slightly and glanced at Pei Jingxu behind him.
Pei Jingxu pursed her lips slightly and nodded at the man.
“Zheng——”
The golden drums sounded for the first time, and the beautiful woman danced gracefully.
I saw her slender feet lightly tapping the center of the drum, like a dragonfly skimming the water, spreading the lingering sound of the drum.
The next second, she spun left three times, and the platinum veil was thrown high up like ink. The golden bells on her ankles rang softly, and the broken jade shone.
Not far below her.
The man straightened his back, placed his hands lightly on the strings, and as she beat the drums, every graceful syllable blended in perfectly.
Pei Jingxu's palms were sweating.
The moment she turned around, she noticed that the emperor on the high platform was looking at Rong Jianxue playing the piano, and his gaze was slowly moving upwards.
With a "clang" sound.
It's a wrong tone.
But the wrong note was too light and soft, just like a stone thrown into calm water, causing very shallow ripples.
Even a person with extraordinary piano skills would not be able to hear anything wrong with that wrong note.
However, the official was a zither fanatic. When he heard a wrong note, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at Rong Jianxue with a bit of gloating joy in his eyes!
——There actually came a day when he could catch the flaws in Rong Jianxue’s piano skills!
Pei Jingxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes she leaps into the air, and the drumming on her toes sounds like rain hitting banana leaves, and snow lotuses seem to bloom under her skirt; sometimes she kneels on one knee to play the drum, and her waist bends back like an upside-down crescent moon, and her veil interweaves with a waterfall of black hair, like a stream of fire across the night sky.
With a "bang" sound!
She suddenly retracted her sleeves, her spine arched like a fully bowed arrow, her sweat-soaked hair stuck to her neck, rising and falling slightly with her breathing.
"Zheng——" Another wrong sound.
All the guests seemed to have just realized what was happening and immediately applauded!
Even the emperor, sitting high up in the throne, slowly stood up and laughed heartily: "Well, well, well! My dear Rong, you haven't played the zither for a few years, and you've regressed a bit!"
Rong Jianxue's expression remained unchanged. Holding the zither, he bowed slightly to the emperor, "Your Majesty is perceptive. I am ashamed to say I am not as good as you."
It's a wonderful and appropriate point.
His two mispronunciations were not obvious, and others could not hear them, only the officials could hear them.
Therefore, the emperor would only be excited because he finally found Rong Jianxue's "fault", but would not feel offended.
Beads of sweat oozed from Pei Jingxu's fragrant neck, and her figure was graceful, as bright as a crescent moon.
Many of the guests present knew about the zither, but none of them were as obsessed with it as the emperor.
So for them, Mrs. Pei's dance on the drum can truly be described as heaven on earth!
Rong Jianxue turned around and looked at the woman standing on the drum.
He reached out and naturally helped her down from the drum: "Your Majesty, I and the Pei family respectfully wish you a long and blessed life."
He held Pei Jingxu's waist lightly and bowed with her.
The official clapped his hands, said "good" three times, and shouted loudly: "Reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The banquet came to an end with the clinking of glasses!
Rong Jianxue used the excuse of being a little drunk and left the table with Pei Jingxu.
Even after walking out of the palace gate, Pei Jingxu did not get on his own carriage, but followed Rong Jianxue onto his.
Rong Jianxue saw this and didn't say anything.
It was not until he entered the carriage that Pei Jingxu seemed to have lost all his strength and fell down limply.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly when she saw this. He grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.
Pei Jingxu did not struggle. She buried her head in the man's arms and sobbed softly.
Her crying was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. She grabbed his clothes with one hand and his hand with the other, refusing to let go.
Rong Jianxue pursed her lips slightly, her eyes flickering slightly.
He stretched out a hand, and after a long time, he just tucked the loose hair on her temples behind her ears.
"Are you scared?"
He tried to comfort her in a hoarse voice, but it didn't stop her from crying.
Tears soaked his clothes. Pei Jingxu wrapped her arms around the man's thin waist and cried a little louder: "Bad guy..."
Rong Jianxue hummed, "Who's bad?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a bad guy, the Third Prince is a bad guy, and the Lord is also a bad guy..."
The hand on her waist tightened slightly.
Rong Jianxue raised his chin, and his obscure gaze fell on the top of her head.
"What's wrong with you, sir?"
