Copywriting from the heroine’s perspective:

The little singer Yan Li was reborn.

The family was poor, and her parents favored boys over girls. She and her sister Yan Fu were forced to go out to sing, and it was common for them to be teased and insulted.

When she was seventeen years old, her sister was sold to a vulgar butcher for the sake of the family's livelihood, and was tortured to death within six months.

Half a year later, Yan Li also hanged herself from a beam on the night she was carried into Ying's mansion because she did not want to be a concubine to Master Ying, a wealthy businessman in Lingcheng.

Both sisters' lives were short and miserable.

When Yan Li woke up, she was being beaten and kicked by her fat brother.

The mother advised softly from the side: "Rongrong, please slow down, please be careful because your hand hurts."

Yan Li:

She decided not to swallow it any longer.

She slapped her fat brother with her backhand, and then was beaten violently by Yan's father, who lay dying on the straw mat.

That night, Yan Li quietly woke up her sister while dragging her sick body, and the two of them escaped from the house together.

Later, a pair of sister singers appeared in the capital. Their outstanding appearance and charming singing voice attracted countless princes and princes to bow to them. However, the two sisters were still too proud to sing at home.

The two singing girls were still taking advantage of each other like this, so naturally some people were dissatisfied.

One day, Yan Li was kidnapped and drugged. When she woke up, she saw an extremely handsome man.

His clothes were disheveled and his eyes were slightly closed.

Um? A handsome young man with a handsome face and good temperament

After getting rid of the medicine's properties, Yan Li escaped.

It wasn't until a few days later that she went to sing at the residence of the newly promoted No. 1 Scholar. When her eyes met the young man in red in the audience, she felt completely bad.

The number one scholar responded, how could he be the same person that day? !

Ying Ce's thin lips curled up slightly, a small smile flashed across his black eyes, and he finally caught you this time.

Copywriting from the male protagonist’s perspective:

When the father's seventh concubine was brought into the house, Ying Ce caught a glimpse of a pair of bright eyes under Bing Tilian's hijab.

Trembling like a butterfly, he heard his own overly intense heartbeat.

Before midnight, he heard that she had committed suicide.

Many years later, he died of poisoning and died of depression. When he opened his eyes again, he felt dizzy and the girl who was supposed to be dead appeared in front of him.

Her face was pink and her lips were red, her almond-shaped eyes were covered with mist, and her face was flushed as she tore at the hem of his clothes.

Ying Ce's eyes narrowed slightly and he hugged her tightly calmly.

Whether it was a dream or rebirth, this time, he would never let her be alone again.

Chapter 1 Escape

It was the twelfth lunar month, and there was a heavy snowfall in Lingcheng.

The cold wind was blowing and it was extremely cold. From a house in Tianshui Lane in the east of the city, a sharp scream penetrated the thatched house and spread far into the narrow alley.

The neighbor who was rubbing his arms and hurried home passed by the door and was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound. His eyes peered for a moment, and then he left quickly.

It's just Mr. Yan hitting his daughter again. It's nothing strange.

The rotten wooden door was half open, and a gust of cold wind swirled the powdery snow into the courtyard, revealing the dilapidated and shabby courtyard.

To the west is the kitchen, with the walls blackened by smoke, and to the east is a small room, with windows covered with layers of paper in different colors.

That was the boudoir of the two daughters of the Yan family.

Another angry voice came, sharp and mean, mixed with the dull sound of a stick being hit on the body.

I'll kill you! Pretending to be dead for no reason! Wake up and bully your brother again!

A middle-aged man wearing a coarse cotton-padded jacket with an angry look on his face was raising a wooden stick as thick as his wrist. He was about to fall on the thin girl on the bed again, but suddenly he saw the girl straighten up and hold it. his hand.

Yan Li hurriedly defended: Dad, you saw it too, he was the one who hit me first!

Father Yan glared at her and shouted: Rongrong saw that you were still asleep and wanted to wake you up because he was concerned about you. He was just joking with you. It would be better for you to give him a slap without any explanation and said that he was going to wake you up. He sold it to Pork Sun! I think you have loose skin and need to be cleaned up. I will sell you to Pork Sun to be my little wife tomorrow!

Before he finished speaking, he shook off Yan Li's hand, and the stick fell again.

Although this body is thirteen years old, it is extremely thin and prone to illness. How can it withstand the torture of a stick? Yan Li felt pain all over her body, her vision went black, and her heart-wrenching cries could be heard in her ears, but her mother did not come to save her.

The person who gave her life was just sitting far away, softly coaxing her slightly frightened fat brother.

And that timid and quiet sister could only hide in a corner and wipe her tears.

Her throat felt sweet and her lips were bitten with bleeding marks. Yan Li smiled coldly and fainted.

Yan's father gasped and threw down the stick, cursed a few words, and when he walked to his son, his expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile: Rongrong, don't be afraid, dad has already taught your sister a lesson, she will not dare to bully you anymore. . Come on, daddy will take you out to catch sparrows.

Yan's mother advised: It's cold outside. If you take him out, he won't catch a cold.

Father Yan spat at her: What do women know? It is precisely because of the cold weather that men have to go out more often to practice.

After saying that, he put Yan Rongju on his shoulders and went out with a smile.

Yan's mother glanced at her eldest daughter in the corner and sighed: Fu'er, come over and apply medicine to Li'er.

Yan Fu, who was shivering in the corner, raised her face and timidly said: Mom, the medicine before has been used up.

Yan's mother looked slightly gloomy and said: Just make do with it and wipe it with hot water.

Yan Fu agreed softly and walked to the bed. She saw that her sister's lips were bitten and the blood dried on her lips. Her face became increasingly pale and her already thin body looked even more pitiful. She couldn't help but blush. , Afraid of being discovered by his mother, he lowered his head in a hurry.

Mom, you go and do your work. I will take care of my sister.

Fu'er, Yan's mother looked at her with a complicated expression, don't blame mother, she had no choice but to

Yan Fu raised her face and forced a smile: Mom, Li'er and I both know this.

Ten years ago, my mother took these two idiots and married her now father.

At first, his father treated the sisters well, but as time went by, he became impatient. After all, they were not his biological children. Having two more mouths to eat every day was not a small burden for him.

The mother is just a woman, and since she is married to someone else, she will naturally regard her as her god. Although she feels sorry for the two sisters, she can't change anything.

Yan's father had a bad temper and would attack others if he didn't go his way at all. Beating his wife and children was a common occurrence. This situation improved slightly after Yan Rong was born.

But Yan Li got an emergency yesterday and was unconscious for a day and a night. When Yan Rong was being naughty and mischievous, he pulled her hair and punched and kicked her second sister when he saw her sleeping.

He was spoiled by Yan's father. Although he was nine years old, he was not sensible at all. He bullied the older ones all day long and pretended to be innocent.

How could Yan Li, who had been reborn, endure this?

In her previous life, her parents were extremely patriarchal and had always favored Yan Rong. When she was seventeen years old, Yan's father actually married her sister to a vulgar butcher in order to arrange a marriage for Yan Rong. Half a year later, She was then sold to Master Ying, a wealthy businessman in Lingcheng, as a concubine.

The poor sister, who was as young as a flower, was tortured to death by the butcher in less than half a year. And because she could not bear the humiliation, she hanged herself from a beam the night she was carried into Yingfu.

She lived such a miserable life in her last life, and since God had given her a chance to do it again, Yan Li would not continue to swallow her anger.

She slapped her fat brother, which resulted in a severe beating from behind.

Now that she was dying and her consciousness had recovered a little, she looked at the hole on the top of the bed in a daze, and secretly made a decision.

She wanted to leave here and escape.

Even if it ends in death, she doesn't want to be like that in her last life.

In the middle of the night, Yan Fu was not sleeping peacefully. Suddenly she felt someone shaking her arm. When she opened her eyes, she saw her sister's bright black eyes. She was startled and asked blankly: Li'er? What's wrong?

Yan Li whispered: Sister, pack your things and let's leave here.

leave? Yan Fu was a little stunned, but it was freezing outside, where were we going?

Yan Li put on her clothes and said, "I don't know yet. Let's escape from the house first."

Yan Fu still hesitated: But

No buts. Yan Li interrupted her, sister, you come with me first, and then I will explain it to you slowly.

Although she was an older sister, Yan Fu had a weak temperament and listened to Yan Li's words. She didn't ask any more questions at this time and immediately packed her things lightly.

The Yan family was already poor, and the sisters didn't have much luggage. They just packed a spare set of clothes and wore cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold.

Yan Li quietly opened the door and tiptoed to the door of the courtyard. Seeing that there was no sound from behind, Yan Li untied the door latch and the two quietly left.

Straight out of Tianshui Lane, the two sisters started running as if they were dying.

At that time, there was still snow on both sides of the road, reflecting the bright moon hanging high in the sky, making it seem like daytime for a while.

The howling wind was like a knife cutting into her face. Yan Li was already in pain all over and had no strength. Now she was running against the wind, taking a breath of cold wind with every step. After a while, she couldn't hold on anymore.

Li'er, how about we take a break?

Yan Li gritted his teeth and shook his head: No, we have to leave the city as soon as possible.

If dad discovers that the two sisters have run away, he will definitely try his best to catch them back.

The two of them ran towards the city gate, one foot deep and one foot shallow, falling down several times along the way. The two sisters supported them and walked side by side.

It wasn't until the towering Guanyin Gate stood in front of her that Yan Li breathed a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth, held her sister's hand and walked out.

It was already the fifth watch, the moonlight was fading, and crows were croaking.

The two sisters did not dare to relax and walked straight north. After an unknown amount of time, their shoes and socks were completely wet. Yan Li's little face was as pale as paper and she could no longer walk.

Seeing this, Yan Fu hurriedly helped her to the side of the tree, took out the water bag from the baggage, and fed her some water. Would you like some rice cakes?

Although it is cold and hard, it is better than being hungry.

Yan Li shook her head gently: I'm not hungry.

It was still dark, and there were few pedestrians on the road. It seemed that they were the only two thin figures left in the vast sky and earth.

Her mind was slightly in a trance, and the suffocating feeling of hanging on the beam hit Yan Li again. Her breathing suddenly tightened, and her body began to tremble slightly.

No, she would never die again!

Huge strength burst out of her small body. Yan Li tightened her old cotton-padded clothes. Sister, let's continue on our way.

Yan Fu was surprised to see that her usually well-behaved sister seemed to be a different person, but she also knew that now was not the time to ask questions.

My feet were soaked in soaked shoes and socks, cold and stiff, and I gradually lost consciousness.

Her whole body was hot but she was getting chills in waves. Yan Li's lips were pale and green, and her bright black eyes had lost their luster at this time. Her whole body was shaky like a puppet.

Suddenly, my sister's exclamation came to my ears: Li'er!

His vision went black for a while, and Yan Li fell limply to the ground.

Unwilling to fall down, she struggled to open her eyes, only to see a blinding whiteness, and the cold and hard snow on her face, which made her regain consciousness for a moment.

If she died like this, what was the point of God allowing her to be reborn?

Could it be that it was just to make her feel the heartbreaking pain again?

Hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes, Yan Li's lips parted, and she gasped for breath. She saw her sister's anxious face and wanted to comfort her but couldn't.

Why, why are their sisters so ill-fated?

Is there anyone who can come to rescue them?

There was a sudden sound not far away, and a Qingbi carriage came leisurely.

The wheels of the car pressed against the snow, making the surroundings seem even more quiet.

As if Yan Furu saw a life-saving straw, she stumbled over and ran to call for help: Please, save my sister! I'm willing to do whatever you want! If only you could save her!

The carriage slowly stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a hand with clear bones was stretched out. It was as white as jade, slender and gentle.

Yan Fu was startled, and unexpectedly she looked into a pair of black eyes, that of a young and handsome young master.

The man looked her up and down and said quietly: If I saved your sister, would you really do anything you want?

Yan Fu's face turned red and she muttered: "I, I will definitely do what I say."

The handsome young man laughed softly and said: Uncle Zhou, rescue him.

A middle-aged man with a thick beard jumped out of the carriage behind him and picked up the fainting little girl.

how? Still not coming up?

Yan Fu suddenly came back to her senses, looked at him cautiously, and got into the car behind her very consciously.

After lifting the curtain, she saw that there were other people in the car. In addition to the bearded man called Uncle Zhou, there was also a man and a woman.

The woman looked older than her and was joking with a handsome man.

Yan Fu shivered and sat huddled in the corner.

But when the woman saw how scared she was, she couldn't help laughing and said: Sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people.

The bearded man laughed and said: It was too late to think of this after we had already got in the car.

Yan Fu's face turned red and she lowered her head.

The woman couldn't see it, and poked the handsome man: Go and show it to the little girl, it's so pitiful that it's so cold in the cold weather.

Then she smiled at Yan Fu and said, "My name is Bai Ying, and I am the young master's maid. His name is Chi Yi, and he is a doctor."

Yan Fu said: Hello Sister Bai, my name is Yan Fu, Doctor Chi, please save my sister.

Chi Yidao: You don't have to say, I will naturally try my best to save her.

As he spoke, he checked Yan Li's pulse and frowned slightly: This little girl was seriously injured, and she must have been infected with wind and cold at this time.

He looked at Yan Fu and saw that her face was full of worry, so he swallowed the second half of his sentence and said: She must need a lot of rest.

The carriage moved forward and soon found an inn to stay.

Yan Li was infected with wind and cold and had a high fever. The bumpy boat and carriage were not suitable for her to rest. Yan Fu was extremely worried that the handsome Mr. Pei would be impatient, but she did not expect that he had an extremely gentle temper.

Even if you feel uncomfortable, just rest here for the night.

The two sisters were placed in a warm room. In the past fifteen years of winter, this was the first time Yan Fu felt so warm.

She touched the soft mattress, leaned beside the bed, looked at her sister's thin and pale face, and murmured: Li'er, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.

They got into someone else's car so rashly. Although neither Sister Bai Ying nor Dr. Chi looked like bad people, when do bad people write bad words on their faces?

If she made the wrong choice, wouldn't it mean that the sisters had just emerged from the wolf's den and fallen into a pit of fire?

But she has no other choice

Whether Li'er's body could hold up until she got home was another question, but Yan Fu couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the sticks that would inevitably fall after she got home.

But don't be afraid. Yan Fu forced a smile and looked at her sister with soft eyes. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I am willing to do it for you.

Outside the door, Pei Huaiguang stood there for a long time, his handsome face full of coldness, and turned to leave.

Chapter 2 Captivity

When Yan Li woke up again, she found that she was lying on an extremely soft and comfortable bed. Everywhere she looked, the tables, chairs, and screens were all exquisite and beautiful that she had never seen in her previous life.

Where is she? Where is my sister? !

She almost sat up from the bed, panicked and got off the bed barefoot, shouting over and over again: Sister! Sister, where are you?

Hearing the noise coming from the inner room, Yan Fu outside the curtain immediately put down the porridge she had eaten for two bites and ran in without even bothering to wipe her mouth.

Li'er, I'm here!

Yan Li was immediately relieved when she saw that her sister was safe and sound, but when she saw her clothes clearly, she couldn't help being stunned and asked: Sister, where are we? How could you be dressed like this?

Such nice and warm clothes? Yan Fu smiled and helped her back to bed. It's a long story. Do you know how long you were unconscious?

Yan Li shook his head: What? Is it a long time?

Yan Fu gestured to her: She had been in a coma for a full month! But I'm worried to death. If Brother Chi hadn't said that you would definitely wake up, I would have said so. Her voice became choked with sobs, she held Yan Li's hand tightly and sobbed, "If you can't wake up, I will follow." you go

etc! Yan Li was shocked by her words. I was in a coma for a month? !

She looked at her sister blankly: Who is Brother Chi that her sister is talking about? Did he save me?

What remained in her mind was the scene before she fainted that day, with all the white snow and biting cold. When Yan Li recalled it, she seemed to still be able to feel the coldness and dizziness at that time.

Yan Fu first poured her a cup of hot tea, and then explained in detail what happened during this period.

Mr. Pei saved our sisters that day, asked Brother Chi to diagnose and treat you, and took us all the way north. We arrived in the capital a few days ago. This is Mr. Pei's residence. Not only is he good-looking, he is also very gentle. Let us take good care of ourselves first. When she said this, her cheeks turned slightly red. You will know when you get better and see him.

However, Yan Li grasped the key point of her words: take good care of yourself first? What happens after that? What does he need from us?

It's not that she judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, but after all, she had lived a few more years than her current sister. The world was sinister and people were unpredictable, so Yan Li was somewhat aware of it.

The handsome and good-natured rich man helped these two poor girls to have a good family. Is it really just out of kindness?

Yan Fu's eyes dodge slightly and she said with a smile: Who knows what will happen in the future! During the period when you were unconscious, Mr. Pei came to see you twice, and there were all kinds of delicious food and drinks every day. Li'er, look, I have some flesh on my face! Presumably Mr. Pei will not embarrass us, right?

The further back she went, the weaker her tone became, and she looked at Yan Li cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would blame her.

Yan Li sighed slightly in her heart, it was not her sister's fault.

If she were in that situation that day, she would have chosen to follow Mr. Pei, whom she had never met before.

No matter what, my sister wants her to live well.

Her purpose is the same. As long as the two of them are safe and sound, she can bear it even if they lean on the door and show off.

That's natural. Since Mr. Pei saved us, he is our benefactor. Yan Li smiled and held her sister's hand back. In order to repay the favor, we will do whatever Mr. Pei says.

Yan Fu's eyes were slightly red and she whispered: "But Li'er, you're not afraid that he will let us do those nasty things."

Yan Li smiled and said: No matter what, it's better than death, right?

She stared seriously into her sister's eyes: Sister, you have to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not seek death. We want to live. Only by living can we have hope.

Yan Fu wiped her tears, nodded and said: I promise you.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a slight noise from the curtain, and a pretty girl walked in. Seeing that both of them had red eyes, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Ah, what's going on?" My sister shouldn't be happy when she wakes up, why is she crying?

Yan Fu hurriedly stood up and gave up her seat. She introduced Yan Li with a smile: "Li'er, this is Sister Bai Ying. She is Mr. Pei's personal maid. She has always taken good care of us."

Hello, sister Baiying. Yan Li was about to stand up and say Wan Blessing, but Bai Ying pushed him down. No need to be polite, he quickly lay down to recover.

Yan Li said: How did Sister Ying know I was awake?

Bai Ying said: "I heard the chirping here from afar. On weekdays, Fu'er is quiet and shy. She never talks to herself. There is no one visiting here, so the only possibility is that you are awake."

Yan Fu smiled and said: "Li'er just woke up not long ago, and she hasn't had time to report to her sister yet."

Bai Ying waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. It's a coincidence that I woke up today. The teacher invited by the young master has just arrived in Beijing. In two days, when sister Li'er's health is better, she can start classes with him."

Yan Li's heart was beating wildly and she asked calmly: What are you learning from the master? We sisters have never been to school and are illiterate. We are afraid that we will not be able to keep up with the master's lessons.

Bai Ying smiled and said: It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read. I'm just learning some lyrics and songs from the master.

Yan Li was startled: Is that all?

Bai Ying blinked: What else does Sister Li'er want to learn?

nothing

Is it really that simple? Yan Li was full of suspicion, but she didn't reveal it at all. Until now, she could only take one step at a time.

After two days, she almost recovered, so she changed her clothes and went to Changyin Courtyard with her sister for class.

Although the courtyard is not very big, it is extremely exquisite and beautiful, with white walls and black tiles, wintersweet smelling like plum blossoms, scattered snow on the eaves, and four or five girls standing under the corridor, wearing the same clothes as them.

Yan Li looked at them quietly and saw that they were all handsome and young. The oldest was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Why are there so many young girls here? Does Mr. Pei really just want to teach them how to sing?

Soon she had the answer.

The teaching master is a middle-aged woman with a plain face and a melodious voice: My surname is Yang, you can call me Master Yang. Since you are standing here today, you have all received the kindness of the young master. I don’t need to say more. I just want to say that you should learn the music well, develop a good figure, listen to the young master, and do your best for our Yanbo Pavilion. , if anyone is disobedient, he will be beaten to death.

The girls looked at each other and fell silent.

Master Yang didn't say much. He raised his hands a few times, and then the servants filed in and brought in a bunch of musical instrument scores.

Gazing across the young and immature faces of everyone, she said: Today, let's start with the "Yichun Order".

Master Yang taught carefully, but for the two sisters Yan Li and Yan Fu, learning was extremely difficult.

The two of them were illiterate, and the individual words read by the master were like heavenly scriptures to their ears. It was obvious that the others learned quickly, so Yan Li had to pretend to understand. After the lesson was over, she pulled her sister along with her with a red face. Ask for a master.

Master Yang, we two sisters are illiterate. We didn’t understand some of what you taught us just now. Can you

She was stumbling when she spoke, but Master Yang smiled when he heard her words: It doesn't matter if you don't understand. What's important is that you two know how to ask. Diligence can make up for weakness. You follow me.

Following Master Yang to her room, Yan and Li found a stack of old and stale books in their arms.

Starting from literacy, if you don’t understand anything, just ask me.

The two sisters looked at each other and said gratefully to Master Yang: Thank you, Master!

From Master Tingyang's tone, Mr. Pei's Yanbo Pavilion seems to be not a simple place.

so what? Yan Li opened "Four Words on the Opposition" and said, no matter what happens in the future, if we can learn more words and become proficient in literary and ink now, there will be one more way out in the future, right?

Yan Fu nodded and said: What my sister said is that it is always good to read and write more books.

After that, the two sisters learned lyrics and singing from Master Yang during the day, and read and read by night.

It was very difficult at first, but thanks to Bai Ying's guidance and the two of them being extremely smart, they learned a lot of words in just two or three months, and it was much easier to take classes with Master Yang.

Three years passed in a flash.

Yanbo Pavilion never treats them harshly in terms of food and clothing. Yan Li and Yan Fu have changed a lot, especially Yan Li.

When she first arrived, she was still a sickly, withered little bean sprout, so thin that there was only a handful of bones left. Now, not only has she become slender and slim, her originally pale and sickly little face has also grown, with an apricot face, peach cheeks, and a beautiful nose. Cherry lips, bright eyes, good at gazing, looking forward to the flight of God.

Yan Fu is calmer and more delicate than before, with watery eyes, shallow dimples, and a smile on her lips, which makes her look extremely approachable.

One of the two sisters is cunning and clever, the other is elegant and showy, and they both have good singing voices. The slightest movement of their lips can make half of the body numb. Therefore, although they have not officially appeared in public, they are already well-known in the capital.

In the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, the guests dressed in brocade and fine clothes had drank too much wine, and they hugged the girl sideways and chatted.

One person said: The pair of singing sisters taught by Yanbo Pavilion’s New Tune are said to not only sing beautifully, but they also look like fish and goose, and are as beautiful as gods.

Another person asked: Brother Li has seen them before. Otherwise, how would he know how beautiful they are?

Li Xun smiled and said: "We have never met face to face. We only met remotely at Mr. Pei's house a few days ago. Although they are far apart and the sisters are both veiled, it can be seen that they are very graceful and graceful."

He clicked his tongue, as if he was reminiscing. Just looking at the bright Chunshan eyes revealed, he was much more attractive than the girl sitting here.

Some ladies didn't believe it and kept saying: "Mr. Li, has he had too much wine, so he's talking nonsense here?" Although we, the girls in Jiaohong Courtyard, are not among the best, we are still quite famous in the capital. Listening to what you say, we have become low-class people.

Li Xun kissed the girl's red lips and laughed and said: I'm not drunk. If you don't believe it, I'll let the sisters come to sing some other day, and you can see what happens.

Everyone said: Then I will accept Brother Li's love.

Speaking of Li Xun, he was a well-known dandy in the capital. His father was Li Yu, the prime minister of the dynasty. He was the youngest in the family, and his four elder brothers were all smarter and more capable than him.

He is made to look like he was picked up.

As time went by, Li Xun stopped making progress and spent his whole day messing with Liu Mianhua. Although he was not a decent person, he did not cause any serious trouble, and the family turned a blind eye to him.

Inviting singers and troupes to perform in the mansion was a common occurrence for him.

Li Xun came to Yanbo Pavilion with great interest and said to the shopkeeper standing at the counter: "I am Mr. Li from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I would like to invite the Yan sisters to the house tomorrow. I would like to ask the shopkeeper to help spread the word."

Yanbo Pavilion is not a brothel. It only provides singers who are good at singing and dancing for the rich and powerful. They can perform at home or take them out to travel with them, but they only sell their skills but not their bodies.

Of course, if you are attracted to a certain singer, you can also spend a lot of money to buy it.

Shopkeeper Zhao raised his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master Li. The Yan sisters are not yet proficient in singing. I'm afraid it will ruin your elegance, so you can't perform at home. Master, how about you look at other singers?"

Li Xun's face darkened: "Master, I want them today, can't I?"

Shopkeeper Zhao had a troubled expression on his face and hurriedly tried to please him: "Master, please wait a moment. I'll ask you at the back."

You said that the young master of the prime minister's house wants Sister Fu'er to come and sing at his door? Bai Ying put the kettle for watering the flowers aside and wiped her hands. Is this what he insists on?

Shopkeeper Zhao said: "Yes, I told him that the Yan sisters are not allowed to come to the house for the time being. He said solemnly that he wanted them. Miss Bai, how do you think this should be handled?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion and the others must not be offended, but Yan Fu and Yan Li have been infected with wind and cold in the past two days, and their voices are already hoarse. How can they come to sing at someone's house when they are sick? Wouldn't that destroy the Yanbo Pavilion's sign?

Bai Ying pondered for a moment and said: "Just say that the two girls have contracted the epidemic, and you are afraid of being the distinguished guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When the two girls are well, let them come to apologize."

Shopkeeper Zhao snorted and ran to the front floor to reply.

When Li Xun heard this, his expression changed immediately: Epidemic? How could it be such a coincidence?

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice: Could it be that the two girls think that my prime minister's temple is too small to invite the two giant Buddhas?

It was a sunny day, but shopkeeper Zhao was sweating on his forehead. He smiled and said: "How can I do that? Mr. Li, you have misunderstood. The Yan sisters are indeed sick. If not, it would be a great honor for the Prime Minister's Office to invite them to visit." , how dare they refuse Qiao?

Li Xun didn't believe it, so he snorted and walked away.

Two days later, he came to invite me again. Shopkeeper Zhao learned that the two girls were still ill, so he had to copy the original words. Naturally, he was scolded by Li Xun again, and the young man left angrily.

Shopkeeper Zhao made a sad face, what's the matter?

As for Li Xun's gang of friends, they had not heard of Li Xun's invitation in the past few days. They couldn't help but ask: Brother Li, when are you going to invite us to have a look at those sisters?

Li Xun's face turned red, and he said angrily: "I was wrong. I didn't realize that although those two people were good-looking, they were very ungrateful!"

Yo, what's going on? You tell us.

Li Xun then elaborated on the rejection of the invitation, and finally said: Aren't they just two singing girls? Just use Qiao as an excuse and wait and see. Once they show up, I won't let them have an easy time!

Someone chuckled and said: Those two people are so ignorant, why does Brother Li care about them? If you want me to see them, they should be captured and our good brothers can 'teach' them.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were a little subtle. They are all children from wealthy families, and their situations are mostly similar to Li Xun's. They have nothing but money and time.

Some people laughed and agreed: It's no fun to flirt with girls from brothels. I heard that my sister's beauty is more outstanding. Brother Li might as well invite her over and cook it himself to let her know how powerful Brother Li is.

Li Xun's eyes were dark: Just tell Brother Yidu and give her some color.

Two days later, Yan Li went out to buy rouge and gouache with her sister. On the way back to the carriage, she was alone for a while and was suddenly knocked unconscious from behind.

When she woke up again, she found that she was lying in a ruined temple, her whole body was very hot, and a man was unconscious not far away.

His clothes were disheveled and his eyes were slightly closed.

Um? A handsome young man with good looks and good temperament?

Do you need to use force against others?

Chapter 3 Antidote

His whole body felt like it was on fire. Yan Lixing's eyes were blurry. He looked around and found that he was in an abandoned temple. The Bodhisattva statue was mottled and dilapidated, covered with cobwebs, and twilight poured in through the windows.

It was already evening outside. How long had she been unconscious?

Yan Li tried to move her body, but it was as soft as noodles. She licked her dry lips and looked at the young man.

He also seemed to have been drugged and was not yet conscious.

I just saw him wearing gorgeous clothes, and the jade pendant around his waist was worth a lot of money. He must be rich or noble. How could such a noble man be abandoned in a ruined temple?

Before Yan Li could figure out the reason, she was overwhelmed by the surge of heat in her body.

An indescribable itch spread from the depths of her bones. Gradually, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Her originally dark and cunning apricot eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Everything in front of her Everything became dense.

Yan Li tugged on her clothes impatiently, her eyes lost their clarity, and her cheeks turned crimson.

She bit the tip of her tongue to regain some sense, but soon another wave of more ferocious heat came over her, making her whole body feel like she was falling into the steaming hot spring water.

There was nothing else visible in front of her. All Yan Li could see was the handsome young man in unconsciousness leaning against the pillar.

In the past three years at Yanbo Pavilion, Yan Li has experienced a lot.

Although she and her sister are still just performing arts and not selling their bodies, they both know clearly that that day will come sooner or later.

Although Yanbo Pavilion treated them well, their good deeds were not in vain.

If one day, any dignitary takes a fancy to their sisters, as long as Mr. Pei gives a slight nod, they will have no choice but to go with that person.

Rather than handing over your body to a person you have never met and whose age you don't know, it is better to have sex with this young master directly and at least save your life.

This medicine is extremely powerful, and she doesn't know if anyone else will come later. If someone else comes again, she doesn't know.

The remaining bit of rationality allowed Yan Li to weigh the pros and cons. She panted and staggered to the young master.

A handsome and fair face dangled in front of his eyes. Yan Li lowered her body and wrapped her arms around his neck, snuggling into his arms.

After groping wildly with her delicate hands, she leaned on his shoulder and smiled. As expected, he was also plotted against.

In the past three years, in addition to learning singing and dancing, she was also taught many housekeeping skills by her nanny.

The purpose is nothing more than four words: to please men.

But Yanli was unwilling to waste so much time and effort on herself. What did she gain?

Naturally, she didn't dare to say this to others, but she just whispered to her sister in private: They are both born from the same father and mother, so why are men inherently superior to women?

Not to mention the various guests they met in Yanbo Pavilion, even their younger brother Yan Rong was only one or two more meaty than them, and their father's attitude towards them was completely different.

Is this really just because they are not related to him by blood?

At the end of the day, it’s just about favoring boys over girls.

Yan Li was very unconvinced, and her cheeks would bulge with anger every time she mentioned this matter. Yan Fu had a gentle temper and said with a smile: "Since Li'er doesn't like it, let's earn more money in the future. When the time is right, we will The sisters redeemed themselves and left here, looking for a small town with beautiful scenery to settle down, and live out their lives relying on each other, okay?

That's great, it's a done deal.

The scene of the promise she made with her sister that day appeared before her eyes. Yan Li held back the pain and burst into tears.

After what happened to her today, she must have returned to Yanbo Pavilion and found that it was not perfect and that she could not be good.

It seems that the plan of seclusion with my sister cannot be realized.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice when the man she was holding opened his eyes.

Ying Ce stared at her calmly, seeing her pink face and red lips, her apricot eyes rippling with water, as if they were filled with mist.

She tore at the hem of his clothes, not very skillfully, but very eagerly.

He was stunned, not knowing why she appeared in front of him.

Didn't she commit suicide by hanging from a beam?

Or is everything happening at this time in his dream?

But the soft fragrance in his arms was too real. Ying Ce secretly pinched his thigh and hissed.

Not a dream.

But how could a dead person appear in his arms? Even to him

The base of his ears gradually turned red, and Ying Ce endured it with great difficulty, but his drugged body was not obedient.

He tried hard to recall what happened before he fell into coma, but he only vaguely remembered drinking with friends in a restaurant and having a pleasant conversation when Princess Wenyue came.

Ying Ce has no memory of what happened after that.

The condition of his body made him realize that he had been drugged, but what happened to her?

How could Yan Li, the second daughter of Lingcheng Yan Laoer, appear in the capital in good condition?

Or maybe he got the wrong person?

While thinking about it, Ying Ce suddenly stiffened and closed his eyes.

There was a rustling sound in her ears, and the girl gasped and complained softly: If I know which shameless person is harming me, I, Yan Li, will definitely make him unable to eat and carry him around!

She glanced at the antidote and saw that his face was red, seemingly even redder than before.

Looking down, Yan Li's ears were burning, and she whispered: You and I each help once, and it's considered even, and you can figure out your own solution for the rest.

After saying that, he picked up his skirt and ran away.

The steps staggered slightly.

It wasn't until her footsteps went away that Ying Ce slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of amusement flashed through his dark and narrow phoenix eyes, and he lowered his eyes indifferently. Regardless of the fact that the medicine was still there, he straightened up his clothes and straightened up.

Just after taking two steps, he suddenly stepped on something.

Ying Ce leaned over to pick it up, and saw a handkerchief with exquisite embroidery, with a pear blossom embroidered on it, and a row of delicate and dignified hairpin flowers in small regular script next to it: *Melancholy A snow plant in the east column makes life so clear.

It is a poem by Su Zizhan.

He lowered his head and sniffed, feeling a faint fragrance, just like the breath on her body.

Ying Ce frowned slightly and murmured: Is it you?

**

Before dark, Yan Li quietly returned to Yanbo Pavilion.

Bai Ying and Shopkeeper Zhao were busy with Mr. Qin's birthday celebrations and did not care about when she would go out.

This is also related to the fact that Yan Li and Yan Fu are usually very sensible and well-behaved. The two sisters are not only beautiful, but also extremely intelligent. Except for the fact that they had a hard time learning because they were illiterate at the beginning, they made rapid progress when they became proficient in writing.

Bai Ying also joked: It's a pity that Li'er was entrusted to her daughter's family. If he had been a brother, he might have been the top scholar in this department!

Everyone is biased. Facing such a pretty and lovable little girl, Bai Ying couldn't say anything harsh. She just waved her hand and said, "You are sweating all over. Go in and wash up."

Yan Liqiang returned to the bedroom with a smile on her face. As soon as she closed the door and before she could take a breath, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Li'er? Are you back?

Yan Fu's anxious voice came from outside the door. Yan Li was stunned for a moment and quickly opened the door to let her sister in.

Where have you been? Why did I not see you when I turned around? Yan Fu paused suddenly and looked at her sister in surprise, what's wrong with you? His clothes are disheveled and his face is sweaty.

Yan Li locked the door, pulled her sister to sit at the table, and whispered: Sister, I was knocked unconscious and taken away before.

What? ! Yan Fu was shocked, who is it? Are you injured? I'll go get the doctor right now!

Bie Yanli hurriedly held him down. Although her heart was pounding, her face pretended to be calm, "I'm fine, I'm just drugged."

Yan Fu's eyes widened: "Drug, drug?"

She looked her sister up and down and saw that she seemed to be fine. She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she listened to her words.

It was that kind of dirty drug that was very strong, so I used the man next to me to cure it.

Yan Fu:

She stayed for a long time and then said nonchalantly: Li'er, what do you mean when you say the antidote?

Yan Li poured a cup of tea by herself, drank it all in one gulp, wiped her lips and said: It was like the spring breeze was once mixed with red waves, fish and water.

She touched her belly and her face turned red: Ah, I have to eat Bizi Soup.

Yan Fu opened her mouth, tears fell heavily, and she sobbed: "Sister, my poor sister, it's all my fault, wuwuwu, your innocence has been stained by thieves, wuwuwu, why wasn't it me who was kidnapped?" Woo woo

Ah, sister, don't be like this. Yan Li was a little overwhelmed and took her into his arms. He gently stroked her thin back and comforted her, "I'm fine. I just left a little blood. What's the big deal?"

The important thing is that she is still safe, right?

Besides, if you really care about tarnishing your innocence, maybe that young master will suffer even more?

Maybe he was just walking on the street without incident, and suddenly he was hit with a sap, and then he was drugged and thrown into a ruined temple. He was unconscious. When he woke up again, he found that he had been raped.

Hmm, it seems very uncomfortable when I think about it.

Seeing her sister crying so sadly, Yan Li also felt sad. She had just turned sixteen, and it was impossible to say that she didn't care about chastity at all. But the matter was already at this point, and it would be useless to cry and complain any more.

Yan Li looked directly into her sister's eyes which were red from crying. Sister, have you forgotten what we promised each other when we first arrived at Yanbo Pavilion?

No matter what happens, try to live. Yan Fu sobbed and sobbed, only by living can everything have hope.

Yeah. Yan Li's eyes were slightly red, and she raised her lips and said, now that we are all grown up, my sister must also know what Mr. Pei will ask us to do.

Something even worse than today will definitely happen in the future, and you and I must learn to accept it.

Yan Fu nodded and said with red eyes: I know, I always thought it was me who didn't expect you to be harmed by a thief today.

Yan Li smiled and coaxed: "Sister, I don't know, but Mr. Antidote is very handsome, even more handsome than Mr. Pei!" I'm not at a disadvantage.

Amused by what she said, Yan Fu tapped the tip of her nose. Okay, thank you for being able to laugh. I'll have someone bring you water so you can take a bath and change clothes.

While waiting for the hot water to be delivered, Yan Fu went out to find the boy. Not long after, she came back with a bag of medicine.

I'll fry it on the stove first, and by the time you finish washing it, it'll be almost ready to drink.

While taking a bath, Yan Fu saw that there were no traces on her sister's body, and when she was slightly confused, she suddenly blushed.

Yes, it’s just to understand the properties of the medicine, so where are those methods?

She calmed herself down and turned to look at the fire.

He didn't notice that Yan Li in the bathtub frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice: He looks strange and handsome, but he is so terrifying.

Chapter 4 Making Difficulties

After resting in the room for a few days, the sisters were almost completely healed from the epidemic.

Li Xun had been depressed for several days since he kidnapped Yan Li and drugged her.

Nothing else, just because the duck that reached the mouth flew away.

It turned out that that day after he kidnapped someone and drugged him, he wanted to take him to an inn to taste the fragrance, but he unexpectedly bumped into Princess Wenyue's person.

He bowed quickly and saw Princess Wenyue walking in a hurry, as if she was looking for someone.

Li Xun didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that someone would discover something fishy in his carriage. Welcome, join the Zi^yuan Group. See more content. And because the princess's entourage was searching the streets, he also Don’t dare to openly carry an unconscious woman into the inn

If the news reaches his father's ears, he will be punished and grounded for half a month.

Li Xun gritted his teeth and threw the unconscious Yan Li into a nearby ruined temple.

He originally thought that he would wait for the princess's men to disperse and then fish them back, but unexpectedly he missed the opportunity.

The people in the ruined temple have long since disappeared.

How could Li Xun endure the fall of a little singer?

But Yanbo Pavilion was Pei Huaiguang's territory, and because of Grand Master Pei, he didn't dare to act recklessly, so he had to hold his breath and look for an opportunity to deal with Yan Li.

On this day, he received a post, and the new champion invited him to listen to the opera at his house.

What new top scorer? It's not my business? Don’t go, don’t go!

Tian Fu'er, the young man, pointed to a line of small words at the bottom of the post and said with a smile: Master, haven't you always wanted to find trouble with these two?

Li Xun squinted his eyes, and when he saw the words clearly, he couldn't help but put his hands up and smiled: OK, OK! This is the duck hitting its mouth again!

Tianfu'er, prepare a set of clothes for me Haosheng, I am getting ready to enter the bridal chamber.

Ai

A few days later, Ying Ce stood in front of the mansion to welcome guests. He had a long body and a handsome face with a smile.

Everyone who saw him praised him: the new No. 1 scholar was indeed a handsome man, and it was no wonder that he was stopped by Princess Wenyue as soon as he left the palace on the day of the palace examination.

Another person said: I have heard a lot about people catching a son-in-law under the imperial ranking, but it is not very common for a princess to choose a son-in-law when she is in the palace.

This statement is wrong. Who doesn't know that Princess Wenyue is arrogant and uniquely favored by the Holy Spirit? Whatever she wants, she will definitely be satisfied.

Hey, no wonder I just saw people from the Princess Mansion bringing two large boxes of congratulatory gifts. It seems that Princess Wenyue is really thinking about Ying No. 1.

Perhaps in a few days, it will be time to change it to 'Ying Huima'.

Everyone laughed and joked, Ying Ce listened calmly, the smile on his lips showed no emotion.

The guests all took their seats and greeted each other. He said: "Today I am moving into my new home. You have come to my humble house to enjoy the scenery. The flowers are shining brightly. The wine and food are meager. Please forgive me for any imperfections."

Everyone said: "Ying Zhuangyuan is so polite."

The opera singing troupe invited by Yanbo Pavilion came on the stage, with percussion musicians on both sides. Two graceful young girls were heavily powdered and dressed in bright clothes. They relaxed their jade fingers and wore silk gauze, singing carefully. got up.

The sandalwood mouth has white teeth, the eyebrows are full, and the voice is sweet and soft, like snow.

The Yan sisters lived up to their reputation. Not only did they have outstanding looks, but they also had a good voice. Everyone applauded and applauded.

Ying Ce sat under the stage, his eyes fixed on one of them.

Perhaps she was aware of his gaze, the little singer's voice suddenly trembled, a flash of panic flashed through her dark and beautiful almond eyes, and she suddenly lowered her eyes.

Ying Ce's thin lips curled up slightly, a small smile flashed across his black eyes, and he finally caught you this time.

The melodious and charming voice is like the falling flying flowers in the spring, softly falling on the hearts of the guests present.

I heard that the Yan sisters were infected with the epidemic a while ago, and luckily they recovered. It would be a pity if they suffered any damage as a result.

Mr. Wang is accustomed to showing pity to women, so in this case, why don't you do your best to take care of these two sisters in your palms?

The middle-aged man who was called Mr. Wang immediately blushed and said with a smile: "Brother Du is making fun of me again. Mr. Wang is just expressing his feelings and has no other intentions towards the two girls."

The man continued to be arrogant: We all know that Mr. Wang and his wife have a deep love, so naturally they will not do anything to displease his wife.

Mr. Wang's face darkened slightly, he excused himself from changing clothes and got up.

Feng Feng Ying Ce saw it but didn't say anything.

Although he came to the capital not long ago, he also heard about some things about the ministers of the DPRK.

It was no secret that Wang and Du were at odds, but he didn't expect the two adults to be so tit-for-tat in private.

Du Mingfeng became the Young Minister of Dali Temple at a young age. He was upright and upright, never caring about the occasion or the identity of the other party when he spoke. As a result, he offended many people, including Wang Weihe of the Ministry of Rites.

The sound of music, drums and human voices all around were noisy, and it was not silent. However, there was only the sound of the breeze in Yingce's ears, and his eyes fell directly on the girl standing side by side.

She has slender jade fingers, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a lightly opened sandalwood mouth, and lovely white teeth.

His eyebrows are lively, his every frown and smile are lively and moving.

His heart beat rapidly, and he really couldn't regard the person in front of him and the girl in his memory as the same person.

Didn’t my father’s seventh concubine commit suicide on the night she was brought into the mansion three years ago? How could she suddenly transform into a popular little singer in the capital?

The little girl from Lingcheng was thin and thin, with a sense of sadness lingering between her eyebrows. However, the girl in front of her was not only bright and charming, but her eyebrows were also filled with a tenacity and vitality that refused to admit defeat.

Like but not like.

If he hadn't heard her whisper that day and learned that her name was also Yan Li, Ying Ce wouldn't have fallen into such doubts.

He had never believed in stories about ghosts and gods, but at this time he inevitably hesitated.

ⓨⓗ Is he in a Huangliang dream, or is she some kind of elf who suddenly reappeared in the capital after her death three years ago?

It was impossible to cheat her death. He had watched her body being taken away by Yan Lao'er, wrapped in a roll of straw mat and then buried in a hurry.

It rained heavily that day. After everyone left, Ying Ce walked out from behind the tree.

He stood in the rain holding an umbrella and stared at her simple and lonely grave for a long time.

He couldn't tell what it felt like, but the startling glimpse that night and the peach-cut autumn eyes under Ti Lianxi's cover trembled like a butterfly, but they left ripples in his heart that shocked his heart.

The chest seemed to be suffering from some emergency, it was beating wildly and lost all control.

Ying Ce had read many books by sages, but could not describe the joy and loss at that moment.

He should not forget that she was his father's new concubine.

But in a blink of an eye, the difference is between life and death.

Her father was so angry that all the new clothes and equipment he had bought for her were burned.

No bad luck.

The seventeen-year-old girl died like this, but she only received a cold scolding from him.

The family's wealth is all due to my grandfather, and my father just had a better life.
