Chapter 260 The Glamorous Killer VS The Undefeated God of War Prince 3
Just as she was about to return to the inner room, the reward from the palace was delivered.
Yu Yao knew that it was a reward for dancing at the palace banquet, so she hurriedly sorted it out and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she went out to receive the reward.
Xiang Ling followed happily.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she looked up and saw a father-in-law walking into Fangfei Garden with a delicate gift box in his hand and a smile on his face.
Before the person got close, the voice came over first.
"Girl, this is the reward given to you by the emperor, please accept it quickly."
"Thank you, the emperor for the reward."
Yu Yao stepped forward quickly and knelt down. In the yard, he received the reward with a respectful expression and quickly stood up.
The father-in-law smiled and handed the gift box to her, "Girl, please open it and take a look."
Yu Yao nodded slightly, took it with both hands, opened it and saw a pipa lying quietly inside.
The pipa has delicate wood and a warm color, as if it contains thousands of years of history.
There is a phoenix carved on the head of the piano, which is lifelike, as if it can spread its wings and fly high at any time.
The strings are tight and exude a light woody aroma.
This is a rare and fine instrument.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
She put the pipa into Xiangling's hand. He took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it over with a smile, "This is a little thought from the little girl. I invite my father-in-law to have tea."
The father-in-law was not polite at all. He took the purse and squeezed it secretly. A trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Yu Yao and said in his heart: Although this woman comes from the Western Regions, she is very wise.
I also know the etiquette and rules of the Central Plains, which is good.
He quietly put his purse in his armhole and was about to leave.
I saw Yu Yao approaching and asked in a low voice: "May I ask my father-in-law, where are the dancers who came to Jingguo with me?"
She didn't know who the dancers were. , is there any killer like her, but I still want to ask.
The father-in-law glanced at her, thinking that this was not something that could not be said, so he wanted to sell her a favor and said: "Don't worry, girl, the emperor will reward all the women who dance with you. The princes and ministers with meritorious service in the imperial court."
Yu Yao knew it in her heart and didn't ask any more questions.
"Thank you so much, father-in-law."
She nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
When the father-in-law saw that she did not continue to ask questions, satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he felt that the other party was quite knowledgeable.
He said no more and quickly turned around and left.
“Girl, where should I put this pipa?”
Xiangling asked, holding the pipa.
Yu Yao glanced at it and said, "Put it in the room, just find a place to put it."
As soon as she finished speaking.
A mean female voice came into her ears.
"You are the dancer from the Western Regions who was gifted by the emperor to the prince? You are quite good-looking, but unfortunately your status is too low. How can you be worthy of serving the prince with such a low status?"
Yu Yao frowned slightly, looked up and saw a woman walking into the courtyard from the door.
The woman's long hair is tied up with a hosta inserted sideways, making her look noble and elegant.
Her facial features are exquisite, her skin is as fair as fine porcelain, and her slender eyebrows are full of disdain and jealousy.
Yu Yao looked at the woman with doubtful eyes. She didn't know this woman, so she looked at Xiang Ling.
Seeing the look in her master's eyes, Xiang Ling came over at the right moment and reminded her in a low voice: "Girl, this is Miss Wu who lives in Wanxiang Hall next door. She was given to the prince by the Queen Mother."
Because Xuanyuan Cheng has not slept with her yet and has not given her an identity, she can only call her a girl.
Yu Yao instantly understood that she was here to inquire about the enemy and mock her at the same time.
"Whether I am qualified or not is not up to Miss Wu. Whether I am of low status or not has nothing to do with you."
She was too lazy to pay attention to such a person, so she directly said to Xiang Ling: "Xiang Ling "Ling, see you off."
Xiang Ling walked up to Wu Lingyan and said, "Miss Wu, please"
Wu Lingyan was so angry that she glared at Yu Yao and left the yard angrily.
Yu Yao didn’t take it to heart and turned around and went back to the house.
After staying in the palace for several days, Xuanyuan City was not seen.
Xuanyuan City had no intention of seeing her, as if he had completely forgotten her.
She gradually became anxious, feeling that if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would follow in Wu Lingyan's footsteps.
Wu Lingyan would come over to taunt her at first, but seeing that she didn't even see her in Xuanyuan City, let alone Fangfeiyuan, she didn't bother to come over to taunt her.
Of course, I didn’t go to her.
Yu Yao sat in the yard, frowning deeply, "Tongji, do you think Xuanyuan City really has any hidden health problems? How can a normal man not touch a woman?"
< br>"Don't worry, he is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him."
The system yawned, feeling lazy again. He said proudly: "The reason why I don't touch women is just that I'm busy with official duties and I don't like anyone, so I don't want to touch them. The male lead in the world is always a bit mystical in this regard. Why do you think it's vulgar and powdery?" "You mean, I'm a vulgar fan?" Yu Yao said with her eyes narrowed.
The system laughed twice awkwardly, "I'm not talking about you. The host is as beautiful as a fairy. How can he be a vulgar fan? Why don't I use an analogy?"
Yu Yao His face looked better now, and he didn't care about the system.
She was relieved to learn that there was nothing wrong with Xuanyuan Cheng's health.
Afterwards, he secretly observed the movements of Xuanyuan City.
She found that Xuanyuan City was very busy every day, either dealing with government affairs or patrolling the border. She really didn't spend much time in the palace.
Even if I return to the palace, I will rest in the front yard and will not come to the backyard.
Yu Yao's current identity is that of a dancer in the royal palace. She cannot go to the front yard without Xuanyuan City's permission.
The front yard is where Xuanyuan City handles government affairs. Women in the backyard will hinder his work, so there is such a rule.
“This is a damn broken rule.”
Yu Yao cursed secretly.
Xuanyuan Cheng couldn't come to the backyard, and she couldn't go to the front yard, even if she wanted to meet him by chance.
Suddenly, she remembered that there was a bamboo forest in the backyard of the palace. It was a quiet place and was closest to the front yard, separated only by a wall.
If you play the pipa there, the sound of the pipa must be able to reach the front yard.
On this day, Yu Yao found out that Xuanyuan City had returned to the palace, but instead of coming to the backyard, he was handling government affairs in the front yard.
With a thought in her heart, she took a good feeling sachet from the space and hung it on her waist. After packing it up, she felt that it was beautiful and there was nothing wrong with it, so she went to the bamboo forest with Pipa in her arms.
At this time, it was dusk, the setting sun was shining slantingly, and the light and shadow in the bamboo forest were mottled.
Yu Yao is wearing a long gauze dress, holding a pipa in her arms, and walking into the bamboo forest.
She sat on a piece of bluestone, gently plucked the strings, and a melodious song "Pipa" played.
The sound of the piano is like crying, as if telling an ancient and touching story.
Xuanyuan Cheng was handling official business in the study when he suddenly heard the melodious sound of pipa.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked unhappy at being disturbed.
"Go and see who is playing the pipa in the palace."
He ordered the guard beside him, Nan Feng, in a cold voice.
After that, continue to deal with official business.
Although the pipa is played well, it also sounds very beautiful.
But he doesn’t like others to disturb him when he is doing official business.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Nanfeng is the personal guard of Xuanyuan City. Hearing the words of His Majesty, he responded respectfully and went out.
After a while, he came back again.
He stood in front of Xuanyuan Cheng, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Back to your lord, it's the dancing girl from the Western Regions who was rewarded by the emperor who is playing the pipa."
The pen in Xuanyuan Cheng's hand paused, and he also thought of that woman.
It's not that he forgot about Yu Yao. The reason why he didn't go to the backyard to see her was because he felt that this woman's identity was sensitive, so he wanted to leave it alone.
It seems that the other party can't sit still anymore.
“That’s all, let’s go and have a look.”
Xuanyuan Cheng put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the study.
He walked through the corridor and came to the backyard.
The man opened his eyes and saw from a distance in the bamboo forest, a woman sitting on a bluestone bench, wearing a gorgeous dance skirt unique to the Western Regions, holding a pipa in her hand, playing attentively.
Seeing her skillful fingering, her pipa sound was like crying and complaining.
Xuanyuan Cheng's eyes moved slightly. Originally he only knew that she danced beautifully, but he didn't expect that she could also play the pipa extremely well.
"She is a woman with many talents."
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, very faintly, very shallow, and not easy to detect.
Yu Yao felt someone watching her from behind. She turned her head slightly and saw Xuanyuan Cheng's figure.
The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but she continued to sit and play the pipa without turning around.
It was as if he didn't notice anyone behind him.
Xuanyuan Cheng just stood there and listened, without stepping forward to disturb.
Nanfeng glanced at Xuanyuan City secretly, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: The prince put down his official duties and came to the backyard specially. Why is he standing here now and unable to pass?
After playing a song, Yu Yao knew that the man had not left, but had been standing behind her.
She stood up, hugged the pipa, and pretended to leave after playing.
When he turned around, it was no surprise that he met Xuanyuan City's unfathomable eyes, which were like a thousand-year deep pool that could suck people in.
Yu Yao looked startled and pretended to be frightened. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly bent down and saluted. Her voice was slightly trembling, but it was very pleasant: "I have seen the prince."
Her current identity is The dancers in the palace, not even women from Xuanyuan City, naturally call themselves slaves.
