Dongling Yuanyong, who was standing at the gate of "Leng Yue Palace", didn't know why he came here?
Before he could figure out what he was doing, he had already opened the door and walked in.
He originally thought that he would not see anything, or at most he would see the person who was left here, curled up in a corner and sleeping pitifully.
However, when he approached the front yard of the apse, he keenly heard a breath flowing slowly and quickly in the yard.
Dongling Yuanyong, who has profound internal energy, quietly appeared in the darkness and looked at the open space in front of him that was shrouded in moonlight.
It turned out that the breathing sound he just heard belonged to that dancing figure!
Although the moonlight was hazy, Dongling Yuanyong could still tell at a glance that it was Ximen Yourong.
She... is actually dancing! Moreover, she dances smoothly and with lotus steps!
There is obviously no accompanying music, but every move she makes seems to be matched with just the right notes to lead to her smooth dance!
Her figure moved gracefully, as if she was the only one left in the world enjoying the freedom of this lonely night and moon...!
Suddenly, her upper body leaned back softly, facing the night sky, raising her hands high, and spreading her wrists toward each other like waves, dancing her fingers.
Her dancing hands kept changing their movements, but Dongling Yuanyong found that except for her hands that were still dancing, her leaning back body remained motionless.
Moreover, the position where her hands dance seems to be frozen in the same place. Sometimes it is like driving something urgently, and sometimes it is like gently stroking a beloved baby, which makes people want to feel the baptism of her fingers...!
Slowly, Dongling Yuanyong seemed to understand the affection contained in her dance.
It turned out that what she was holding in her hands was the bright moon in the sky! When the thin clouds passed by and blocked the moon, it was the clouds she drove away. When the clouds dispersed, what she gently touched was the outline of the moon.
She worshiped the bright moonlight devoutly with her hands. What is surprising is that her hands can actually change into countless different dance postures to hold the moon she wants to touch...!
I don’t know how long it took, but she seemed to be with the moon tirelessly. It wasn’t until the moon was gradually covered by a thick layer of dark clouds that she slowly put away her hands and stood upright.
But she still looked up at the dark night sky, as if waiting for the dark clouds to disperse.
Gradually, the moonlight penetrated through the clouds and fell on the world, shining on Ximen Yourong.
The night wind blew her long satin hair and plain white skirt, making her look so beautiful under the moonlight that she seemed to disappear at any moment!
Squeak~
The sound of the door opening broke the silence.
It was Xiang Qing who woke up and came out of the house to look for someone. She quickly approached Ximen Yourong and complained:
"Miss, it's dark and cold, why did you run out?"
As Xiang Qing said, she had already grabbed Ximen Yourong's hand and probed her body temperature. It would have been better if she didn't grab it, but when she grabbed Ximen Yourong's cold hand, Xiang Qing said with annoyance and distress:
"Look, your hands are frozen. Let's go back and warm ourselves by the fire and have a nap. Otherwise, we won't have anything to eat or drink tomorrow, and we won't be energetic. At night, miss, you will be even colder...!"
"It doesn't matter. If your heart isn't cold, your body won't be cold either! What's more, I don't feel sleepy right now."
Ximen Yourong suddenly smiled. She was afraid of the cold, but the sleepless night made her forget the ruthlessness of the autumn cold.
Especially when she just stepped out of the yard and saw the bright moon above her head, she didn't know why she got excited about dancing when she raised her hands to hold the moon.
Her passion for dancing comes from her mother, who used to be the maid with the most outstanding dancing skills around Queen Fuxuan.
Therefore, she has been learning dance from her mother since she was a child. Perhaps because she has talent, when she was young, even her mother, who is an unparalleled dancer, praised her for her superb dancing.
Maybe it was because she was dancing emotionally while looking at the moon, and she was with the moon without any distracting thoughts, so the troubles in her heart temporarily disappeared, making her originally chaotic thoughts no longer so heavy.
At least at this moment, she didn't feel that the ruined silence was miserable, but rather a rare tranquility.
But Xiang Qing didn't understand Ximen Yourong's comfort. She only knew that Ximen Yourong was afraid of the cold and was wearing thin clothes. She couldn't help but said angrily again:
"Miss, that cruel majesty is determined to torture you. It would be easy for him to kill the young lady...I think, if we don't want to be the queen, whoever wants to be can become the queen."
"I'm afraid I'll have to sit on the queen's throne for the time being."
Ximen Yourong smiled helplessly. If she could get rid of the shackles of the "Queen", she wouldn't be here now.
Dongling Yuanyong seemed unable to break the oath of his ancestors and accepted her as his queen.
But in fact, even if the oath of his ancestors was true, he still had thousands of reasons to reject this oath and reject her possibility of entering the harem.
However, he took her into the palace without doing anything and accepted her status as "Queen" by default.
It’s obvious that he can use her!
Xiang Qing didn't know the deep meaning of Ximen Yourong's words, so she wondered:
"Miss, do you want to be a queen and do it in this shabby place?"
“This place is nice and quiet!”
Ximen Yourong smiled lightly, there were some things she couldn't explain to the simple Xiang Qing.
What's more, she herself didn't fully understand what Dongling Yuanyong was thinking. For the current plan, she could only be cautious and act according to the opportunity.
"But, what should we do next? Are we just going to starve to death?"
"Don't worry, even if Your Majesty wants me to die, he won't let me die of hunger." Ximen Yourong said and already moved into the house!
"Why?" Xiang Qing followed into the house.
"In that case, His Majesty will lose face."
"What does this mean?"
"People in the world will laugh at your majesty. You can't even feed a weak woman and starve to death."
Ximen Yourong rarely made a joke, Xiang Qing also heard it, and she muttered as she closed the door:
"As for you, Miss, you can be open-minded, and you are still in a funny mood at this time. I have seen queens, but I have never seen a queen who is bullied by the emperor at any time like Miss. If anyone else encountered this kind of thing, they would have wanted to die.
Already."
"Why do I have to die? I don't want to be reincarnated in this world to be a different kind of queen that has never been seen before or will come after."
"Yes, yes, I used to be an invisible lady who no one loved, and now I am a queen who is regarded as a thorn in His Majesty's side and a thorn in his flesh. But these are nothing, anyway, I am not as open-minded as the lady!"
"Ghost girl, no big or small..."
The playful chatter between the master and the servants in the house gradually faded away, and they did not know that someone was stopping outside the yard and did not leave.
Dongling Yuanyong came out from the darkness, he looked at the closed side hall and thought deeply!
Ximen Yourong, this woman seemed to be more secretive than he thought. Her calmness more than surprised him.
Also, if she is not favored in Ximen Mansion, it proves that she will not be given preferential treatment by someone who teaches her exquisite skills.
But where did she learn the vague erudition and the wonderful dancing skills she just revealed?
Is it a good or bad thing for him to keep her who is so smart and versatile?
