In the early morning, Yan Ruocheng woke up and found that she had hugged Huang Fengmo to sleep. Before the other party woke up, she quietly withdrew her arm.
It seemed that she had violated what she said last night. Fortunately, Huang Feng Mo was unaware of it.
She carefully slipped out of bed. The man on the bed had already woken up, but while she was still asleep, he deliberately changed her position to hug him, making her think that she couldn't help but hug him to sleep.
After Yan Ruocheng went out and closed the door, he opened his eyes and smiled.
"Ha! Today I'm going to see Her Royal Highness the Princess to learn the dance of Crescent Moon White." After making some ideas, she first asked her servants to prepare the decoction that Huang Fengmo would take today. She calculated the time and used the time to cook the medicine to sneak away.
Her Royal Highness the Princess.
In the princess's palace.
When Yan Ruozhen arrived, Huang Tanyue was holding an empty bottle in a daze.
After she saluted, she asked curiously: "Your Highness, why are you holding an empty bottle in a daze?"
"Sister Ruocheng, it's a good time for you to come. I was just about to go find you. You ran out of the iron wine you gave me last time. Please give me a dozen more bottles." Huang Tanyue became interested as soon as she saw her coming.
Ask for it.
"Okay, but, Your Highness, why do you need so much iron wine?" Yan Ruocheng asked. One bottle is usually enough for more than a month.
"It's not me who wants to use it, it's Vice General Yan who wants to use it. Recently, his old illnesses have been recurring and he refuses to see the imperial doctor. I have no choice but to give him wine and let him wipe it off whenever he wants." Huang Tanyue explained.
say.
"However, the villain's special iron wine does not mean that the more you rub it, the better the effect will be. Instead, you rub it slowly and let the affected area absorb it. The more you rub it, the opposite effect will occur. The villain last time
I told Her Royal Highness the Princess once. You may have forgotten it again." Yan Ruocheng reminded me.
"Hahaha... I simply forgot about it. Fortunately, I haven't taken it yet."
"What old problem does Vice General Yan have?"
"It's the ankle area. He said that he had suffered severe frostbite on his ankle during the war before. After treatment, it was just the ankle that hurt."
"This may be due to internal rheumatism. How about I go with the princess to diagnose and treat him later?"
"Of course! I was just thinking about how to trick him into seeing the imperial doctor? Sister Ruocheng, if you came to me, you wouldn't have made a conscious decision that I just showed up because I wanted to see you."
"No, it's not such a coincidence. I have something to ask of Your Highness the Princess."
"What's going on?"
"The villain wants to learn Crescent Moon's dance."
"Crescent Moon White? Come here. I have something to show you." Huang Tanyue looked thoughtful upon hearing this, and took Yan Ruocheng to a place.
Huang Tanyue brought Yan Ruozhen to a side room where she kept dancing clothes and skirts.
There are various props and clothes needed for dancing. Yan Ruocheng really envies Huang Tanyue. Almost every talent prop has a special room to display it. If she had a pharmacy that could be like this
That's great, I don't have to spend half a day looking for medicinal materials every time.
Huang Tanyue took out a wooden box from a drawer.
Open the wooden box and inside there is a white mask with a peacock painted on it.
She took out the mask and said slowly: "If you want to dance the dance of Crescent White, you need to wear this mask to dance."
Yan Ruocheng looked at the mask. It looked quite ordinary, but on the right side was a peacock looking upward, which symbolized a bright future and good luck.
"Why do you need to wear a mask to dance? Is White of the Crescent Moon a blessing dance?"
Huang Tanyue shook her head and said, "No, it's just the opposite. It's a dance that brings misfortune to people. The so-called White Crescent Moon is a dance that brings vicissitudes of life and despair under the crescent moon. This is a kind of dance that brings misfortune to people.
An ancient dance performed to worship the dead. It is recorded in ancient books that this dance can enable the deceased to wander into the world and fulfill their wishes during their lifetime. This mask is actually used to ward off evil spirits, so that the person dancing this dance will not be
Possessed.”
After Yan Ruozhen heard this, she felt a creepy feeling. Although people do not do bad things and are not afraid of being haunted by ghosts, she has been afraid of these ghosts and gods since she was a child.
"Sister Ruocheng, why are you doing this dance?" Huang Tanyue asked.
"It's not the villain who wants to dance, it's the second prince who wants me to dance." Yan Ruocheng said helplessly.
"Brother Chenling may be missing Concubine Cong again." Huang Tanyue put the mask back into the box and closed it, sighing.
"Your Highness, do you have any impression of Concubine Cong?" Yan Ruozhen asked with hope. Huang Tanyue was much younger than Huang Chenling, so maybe she didn't know so much.
Huang Tanyue shook her head again and said: "I was just born at that time, so I have no impression at all. However, I heard my mother say that Concubine Cong was a docile person, quiet and talented. Her mother also used to talk to her.
She asked for dance lessons. Yueyue Zhibai also learned it from her. My mother thought this dance was very special, so she taught it to me. However, after she taught me, since the death of Concubine Cong, she would not let me dance this dance again.
Let’s dance.”
"Then, Your Highness Princess, you don't plan to teach the villain?" From her tone, Yan Ruocheng probably didn't want to teach.
"No, I don't believe what these ghosts and gods say. Besides, I will definitely teach you what Brother Chenling wants to see. It's almost the Longevity Festival, and he started to get sick again." Huang Tanyue promised to teach her, but she was worried
explain.
"Sick? What's wrong with him? I've diagnosed that he doesn't have anything wrong with his body, it's just a mental illness at most." Yan Ruocheng said.
"It's just a heart problem. Sister Ruocheng, maybe he didn't tell you that the day my father lived forever was the day his biological mother passed away."
Now, Yan Ruocheng understood why Huang Chenling asked her to dance this dance on the Wanshou Festival. It was entirely to mourn her mother. He should tell her at least. Tell her nothing and let her be like
Come learn to dance like a fool.
"Your Highness, I will learn this dance well, and I must learn this dance till the end!" She said decisively.
Huang Tanyue chuckled lightly and said, "Well, sister Ruocheng, I think you should learn the splits before learning this dance."
"Splits?" This action is the most terrifying for Yan Ruocheng.
"Yes, once you have mastered the splits, you can dance the Crescent Moon White at any time." Huang Tanyue nodded and said.
"This little guy needs some time to practice." Yan Ruocheng said, stroking his forehead.
"Sister Ruocheng, let's talk about this later. Let's go see Vice General Yan first. It's almost time for him to rest. Let's go early and come back early."
"Okay. But first, I have to go back and get the medicine box." When Yan Ruocheng came, he felt like he had a breeze in his sleeves.
"No, I have it here. I usually dress up as a royal doctor, and the medicine box is fully stocked with tools."
Huang Tanyue usually went to peek at Yan Rongyan, always dressed as various servants in the palace. Naturally, the imperial doctor also dressed up, so she also prepared a medicine box.
"Your Highness, you work really hard. You work so hard for the person you like." Yan Ruocheng clapped her hands and praised her.
"Sister Ruocheng, you taught me to move forward bravely and never give up on your true feelings. I will leave no regrets in this life."
"Yes, hehe, sometimes I forget this sentence myself."
"Sister Ruocheng, are you worried?"
"It's okay, haha... let's go."
Yan Rongyan was resting in his rest room. His ankle was not feeling well today and he felt a little numb after standing for several hours. So he filled a bucket with cold water to soak his feet to make them more comfortable. He also went to treat athlete's foot.
Ever since Huang Tanyue forced her to rub her feet last time and she smelled her athlete's foot, he has been worried about his athlete's foot all the time. He was worried that she would appear in front of him at any time and rub his feet again. She didn't mind, but he could
I'm so concerned about it, how can I let her smell her smelly feet.
When he was lost in thought, Huang Tanyue arrived with Yan Ruocheng.
"Vice General Yan!" As soon as this pleasant but annoying voice rang out, he was so frightened that he immediately stretched out his feet and even knocked over the bucket, spilling water all over the floor.
"Wow! What happened? Why is there water on the ground?" Huang Tanyue stepped in and saw the water on the ground and asked in surprise.
Yan Rongyan hid the bucket under the table, came out with bare feet to salute, and said, "I will see you at last, Your Highness the Princess."
"Vice General Yan, there's no need to be polite. Sit down." Huang Tanyue looked at him and said with a doting look on her face.
Yan Ruozhen went to the ground to drag it over and dried the water on the ground. Along the water source, he found a bucket hidden under the table. It was probably that Yan Rongyan was soaking his feet just now. Hearing the shouts of the princess, he was so frightened that he knocked over the bucket. Since he
Hiding it, then she will pretend that she doesn’t know.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Yan Rongyan asked helplessly. This sentence has become the most common thing he says. He sees her basically every day.
"I came to see you." Huang Tanyue simply replied.
"Your Highness Princess?" Yan Rongyan called her in a low voice, signaling her not to play like this in front of others.
"Let's see how your ankle is? Let Sister Ruozhen take a look. Didn't you, Deputy General Yan, say that your ankle feels uncomfortable?" Huang Tanyue said knowingly after receiving his look.
"Vice General Yan, I heard from Her Royal Highness the Princess that you have an old ankle problem. Can you please come and have a look at it?" Yan Ruocheng put the mop on the floor and said in agreement.
"No need, old illnesses often look like this. I've asked the imperial doctor to see her before, but there's no way to cure it." Yan Rongyan said tactfully.
"No! We must let Sister Ruozhen diagnose and treat me. I brought someone here, but you don't appreciate it." Huang Tanyue said pretending to be angry.
"Okay then." Yan Rongyan sat down helplessly.
Yan Ruocheng went over and squatted down, slowly checking his ankles. As a martial arts practitioner, the soles of his feet had a lot of dead skin and thick calluses, and they felt rough to the touch. Compared with Huang Chenling, they felt like two different things.
Pressing on his ankle, he shrank his foot, obviously in pain.
"What's going on? What's going on with his ankle?" Huang Tanyue also squatted down and asked while watching.
"There is internal rheumatism from this position to the instep. It is caused by frostbite. Some of the meridians inside have been damaged by the frost, causing blood and qi to be blocked, causing pain from time to time." Yan Ruocheng pointed to her slowly.
