Chapter 476 Dancer (2)
"Hmm?" Qu Jing was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he answered Ji Xiaomu's sudden question.
"I bought them from a wealthy businessman at a low price. I saw that these dancers danced well, but the selling price was pitifully low, so I bought them. Coincidentally, before you came, they had been hidden away and had no use." Qu Jing answered, looking at Ji Xiaowu. "Do you know them?"
"I don't know them." Ji Xiaowu shook her head in denial, "Don't you know where they came from?"
"She's just a dancer, what background do you need?" Qu Jing was stunned. "Is there a story behind this? I thought that the rich businessman must have some problem selling it to me at such a low price."
"No problem." Hearing that it was just a coincidence, Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen looked at each other and felt that there was no need to make a fuss about it. It might really be just a coincidence.
"Madam, you can speak freely. We are all family here," said Qu Jing.
"It must be just a coincidence! Fang Chen said that when he was forced by the emperor, he danced this dance." said Ji Xiaomu.
"What a coincidence?" Qu Jing immediately stopped the singing and dancing and looked at the dancers crawling on the ground. "Stop, did you dance this dance in the palace?"
"Your Excellency... We are slaves." The leading dancer said humbly, then turned to Fang Chen and continued to kneel. "General..."
"It's really you." Fang Chen looked at the leading dancer, and when he saw her face, he understood.
"Tell me, how did you end up like this?" Qu Jing asked. One should know that the dancers in the palace are managed by the court and it is impossible for them to be sold.
But they moved around a lot until he bought them.
"That year, we witnessed with our own eyes that the general was forced into marriage by the emperor. Logically, we should not have survived, but the third prince saved our lives. The Music Bureau was about to execute us at that time, and he threatened the bureau to buy us. To the outside world, we had already been executed and had lost our original identities. The third prince gave us to a traveling wealthy businessman, but when the businessman learned that we had belonged to the Music Bureau before, he was afraid and sold us to another wealthy businessman. Over the years, we were sold many times and were finally bought by our master." The leading dancer answered.
"So it was Thirteen who saved you." Yang Hua and the others laughed out loud. When they saw their dance, they thought it was a declaration of war sent by some prince to deliberately provoke them.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding. They were just wondering if there was some conspiracy!
It is impossible that the dancer who knew about the royal scandal was still alive and still danced the same dance in front of them.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and the royal family takes this even more seriously. It concerns the scandal and reputation of the royal family. Therefore, when the emperor forced Fang Chen to marry the princess and was rejected, it was such a huge scandal that the dancers would never survive the next day.
He would definitely be executed by the music bureau that night.
"Yes, the Third Prince is kind and allows us to have a chance to survive." Wu Ling and others felt the same way and were very grateful to the Third Prince for saving them.
If it weren't for the Third Prince, they would have died that night and would not have had the chance to dance here.
"This is indeed something Thirteen would do. This guy speaks harshly, but he is a kind person." Xu Ziyang said with a smile.
"It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. I almost indulged in conspiracy theories just now." Yang Hua said with a smile, and the brothers laughed.
"Don't talk about second brother, I just got goose bumps."
"I was just wondering which prince provoked us..."
