Chapter Twenty-Nine: That World, Shocking.
Inside Chang'an City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chang'an City is composed of the outer city, the imperial city, the palace city, the Daming Palace and the Xingqing Palace. At the north end of Suzaku Street, the central axis, is the center of state power - the Imperial City, and in the northernmost part of the Imperial City, there is a small city across the street, which is Miyagi. Miyagi is rectangular in shape. Its east and west city walls are the extension of the imperial city wall to the north, and the north wall directly coincides with the north wall of Guocheng.
The palace city is composed of three parts, namely the Yeting Palace and the East Palace, and the Taiji Palace is clustered in the middle. Both the East Palace and the Yeting Palace are smaller in size, each occupying only a small part of the palace castle. The East Palace was the residence and office of the crown prince, while the Yeting Palace had a special role, as it was mainly used to house the children of criminal bureaucrats to work and learn their skills in the palace.
The main building of the palace is the Taiji Palace, which is rebuilt from the original Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty, and is located at the northernmost point of the central axis of Chang'an City, which is used to symbolize the emperor's "supremacy, the king in the south". Taiji Palace was the political center of the dynasty.
Taiji Palace has two gates in the north and south, and the south gate is the main gate, also called Chengtian Gate. It is facing the central axis of Chang'an City, Tianjie and Suzaku Street. Between the gate and the imperial city, is a square with a width of 440 meters, many major activities outside the court, most of them are carried out here, whenever this time, the emperor is on the Chengtian Gate, the civil and military officials gather in the square, the scene is very majestic and magnificent. There are a total of 16 halls in the Taiji Palace, among them, the Taiji Palace, the Liangyi Palace, the Ganlu Hall and the Yanjia Hall are called the four major halls. In addition, there are important buildings such as Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Sherenyuan, Hongwen Hall, as well as Ningyin Pavilion and Wangyun Pavilion.
Taiji Hall is the front hall of Taiji Palace, which is the main building of Taiji Palace.
It is rumored that the name of Taiji Palace is also derived from Taiji Palace. The Taiji Hall is the place where the "Middle Dynasty" is held in the palace. On the two days of the lunar month, the emperor receives the ministers here and deals with government affairs. To the north of the Taiji Hall is the Liangyi Hall, which is the place where the so-called "Inner Dynasty" is held. The Inner Dynasty was a ceremony in which the emperor consulted with a small group of ministers on state affairs, and usually only a small number of decision-making ministers, i.e., the emperor's cronies, were eligible to participate. So Chaoyi is relatively simple and very casual. However, the Inner Dynasty played a pivotal role in influencing dynastic decision-making. Therefore, if there are major national affairs and political affairs, they often have to be discussed and decided in this hall now, and then the razor hall will be discussed with the ministers during the "China and North Korea".
And Gaozu Li Yuan began to implement the teaching workshop system, placing the inner teaching workshop in the palace forbidden, and its official subordinate to Taichang Temple. In the worship of the great court and other national ceremonies, according to the Xi Yale, in the palace feast, singing and dancing with folk music.
The architecture of the dynasty has formed a complete architectural system. It is large-scale, magnificent, handsome, solemn and generous, neat but not rigid, gorgeous but not delicate, stretched but not ostentatious, simple but full of vitality, which is the perfect embodiment of the spirit of the times at that time.
The night moon in the east.
When the dynasty is three products, six books, the military department, the east is the son-in-law.
Listen to my father's order and go to see the East Palace.
The night moon in the East does not care about political affairs, and reverses poems to poets every day. My father couldn't bear it anymore and was furious. He angrily reprimanded him that he should become familiar with the officialdom as soon as possible and share the burden with his father, and if his father was forced to step down one day, who would help him? His father was the secretary of the military department, he worked hard day and night, worked diligently, and never dared to slack off. It was all because of my mother's close contact with the female relatives of various officials in private, and there was a lot of dredging, so that we were safe. My mother is a very amiable but strong woman, in contrast to my father's straightforward and simple personality. Dongfang Yeyue didn't want to take over his father's mantle at all. This errand is bitter and dangerous, and it is better to place your affection in the mountains and rivers, recite poems against friends, and listen to songs and dances.
At this time, his father's angry expression was still in front of Dongfang Yeyue, and he had palpitations.
He looked at the sun in the sky, and it was so dazzling, just like his father. People can't help but envy, follow, and depend.
- Ah, one day, I am the same person!
Dongfang Yeyue couldn't help but sigh and continued to walk in the palace.
The court's servants saluted him, and he smiled softly at them. Because of this, there is a legend of him in the palace. Everyone said that the son of the military department was a handsome man who was elegant and polite, and they all wanted to see his true face.
And in the current dynasty, what is lacking is a beautiful man, and what is lacking is a dancing girl who can lead the coquettish.
Otome is the long-awaited dancing girl.
In the workshop.
The dancers are practicing "Goryeo Music" in front of the teacher, who wears purple hats, decorated with bird feathers, yellow robes with large yellow sleeves, purple belts, hakama, red leather boots, and five-colored silk ropes. There are four dancers, all of whom are combed in a bun at the back of their heads, and their foreheads are wiped with crimson and decorated with gold. Two of them wore yellow skirts, red and yellow hakama, extremely long sleeves, and black leather boots, and danced side by side.
Playing the kite, sweeping the zither, lying on the gonghou, vertical gonghou, pipa, yijiu flute, sheng, together with the most beautiful and charming music in the world.
The dancing girls practiced their skills under the caress of the warm spring breeze, and they were in order.
Today's saint said: "There is nothing to do in the world, and you want to build rituals and make fun, and you can cultivate literature in the martial arts", so the teaching workshop has become the epitome of the prosperous court and the most amazing place in Chang'an City. It is home to the best music and dance music of the dynasty, symbolizing the prosperity of a dynasty.
Accompanied by melodious music, otome sat in the pavilion and practiced calligraphy quietly.
A water-blue gauze skirt mops the floor, holding the milk cloud soft yarn, the waist is colored with a belt, the waist is tied up, highlighting the woman's graceful figure, the green silk is gently pulled up, a fairy cloud bun is pulled up in the hair, and a sapphire butterfly hairpin is inserted obliquely, a pair of eyes are like two black crystals raised in mercury, clear and bright, lightly sweeping the moth eyebrows and thin powder on the face, with the color of the country and the city, the demeanor is generous, and the demeanor is added to an elegant.
This is Otome, a woman who is about to amaze Chang'an.
The branches welcome the birds of the north and the south, and the leaves send the wind to and fro.
Otome put down her pen and ink in satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth rose. I think that the mood today is pleasant, and the words are more soft and less sharp, just like the pleasant spring breeze that is blowing. Since she stepped into this workshop, she has always criticized her for being too sharp in dance music and calligraphy, and lacking the softness that a dancing girl should have. Whenever this happens, Otome smiles haughtily and ignores criticism of the teachings.
- If my father were alive, he would have praised me.
The wind suddenly became strong and blew through every corner of the workshop. The skirts of the dancers were gently lifted, and the spring color on their feet was unobstructed.
Suddenly, the painting on the stone table was blown up.
Otome exclaimed, reaching out to chase after her. As if deliberately playing tricks on her, the wind blew up and landed on the wall not far away, and when Otome trotted over, it danced again and blew the painting out of the wall.
Yes!
Helpless, she could only run out of the wall.
At this time, the eastern night moon was passing by the teaching workshop.
He had long heard of the teaching workshop in this court, and every time there was a court banquet, it was always these dancers and musicians in gorgeous and dazzling clothes who amazed the Quartet. The VIP envoys from all parties were amazed by the dancing girls of the Tang Dynasty, and they also continued to send the outstanding women in their own land to the Tang Dynasty, and the foreign women and the Central Plains women complemented each other, making the dance music of the Tang Dynasty more diversified and more magnificent.
Dongfang Yeyue has never cared about any dancing girls in this workshop, in his opinion, the dancing girls in this workshop are like dancing music for the sake of the palace music, but the performance in the workshop is performed because of the lives of the people, which is more vivid and interesting. Therefore, he was not interested in or understood the skills of the dancing girls in the workshop, and he never thought of the calligraphy, painting and skills of otome discussed by his peers. Xiao Mo often mentioned interesting stories about the workshop to him, but not once did he listen carefully. He is different from Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo has political ambitions and his own political opinions, and Dongfang Yeyue only wants to travel around and see all the scenery.
The character portrait is a playful young lady, swaying in the wind before falling in front of the pace of the night moon in the east.
- Calligraphy and painting?
Dongfang Yeyue bent down suspiciously, picked up the calligraphy and painting on the ground, and studied it carefully.
The branches welcome the birds of the north and the south, and the leaves send the wind to and fro.
After reading it, the birds of the north and south chased each other among the branches, and the spring breeze blew the new leaves on the trees, occasionally dropping a few dead leaves that had not fallen at the end of the old winter.
The style of writing is tough with a hint of softness, with fiction with reality. How could such a verve of calligraphy and painting appear in this workshop?
The night moon in the east began to feel new to everything within this wall.
Otome trotted out. Seeing that the calligraphy and painting were picked up by a son, he couldn't help but blush. This calligraphy and painting is made by oneself and cannot be considered.
She hurriedly walked up to Dongfang Yeyue, glanced at Dongfang Yeyue, looked at each other, and then lowered her head slightly and did not speak.
Dongfang Yeyue was stunned.
How could there be such a beautiful woman in this court? The heroic spirit between the eyebrows was so close to people that it was breathless. The white neck and looming collarbone are simply the gift of creation, like the spring in the mountain, clear and attractive. The rolling black eyes jumped smartly, as if they were about to suck the people who were watching her. Just looking at this appearance and temperament, she must not be an ordinary dancing girl. There is a hint of nobility in his eyes, if not?
"Is this the widow of the young lady?"
Dongfang Yeyue looked at Otome with her head down, and asked her softly, for fear that she would frighten the beauty.
Dongfang Yeyue originally thought that this calligraphy and painting might be a work taught in the workshop, but she didn't expect that it was actually made by a woman, and it was made by the woman in front of her. His eyes widened, he looked at the painting in his hand, and then at Otome's face, speechless in surprise.
Otome glanced up at the night moon in the east, and hurriedly avoided his eyes, his eyes were bright and clear, but his eyes were like a fire that was about to burn himself. His voice was so gentle that it seemed to melt the other's heart, penetrating through the chest and reaching Otome's heart. I haven't felt this kind of tenderness for a long time.
Her heart pounded and beat faster, and her white neck turned red all of a sudden.
How can there be such a beautiful man in the world?
"My lord, it was abandoned by a woman, please throw away the cheesy things. ”
Otome spoke with shyness and nervousness.
Dongfang Yeyue looked at the beauty in front of her, her fair face was red, and she looked even more beautiful.
Bang bang, his heart beat faster.
“…… Throw away? you say...... Such a good painting, do you want to throw it away?"
Nervousness, joy, accompanied by the tone of the Eastern Night Moon.
Such a good painting? Otome felt even more embarrassed. This is what he did as he pleases, how can he say that it is good? The son in front of him must be making fun of himself!
Otome became even more nervous, and her tone began to be a little hurried.
"My lord, this is a little woman's random doing, and she is going to abandon it. ”
"Ahh......h
Before the words fell, Otome reached out to take the calligraphy and painting in Dongfang Yeyue's hand.
Dongfang Yeyue didn't react, Otome turned around, and the calligraphy and painting were split in two.
Yes?
Dongfang Yeyue held half of the calligraphy and painting in a panic, and looked at Otome at a loss.
This?
Otome blushed, nervous, and a little annoyed, thinking that the son was teasing herself.
"Your ......, my lord"
Before he finished speaking, he left Dongfang Yeyue, who was at a loss, turned around and ran into the workshop.
- Otome
- So you're Otome!
Dongfang Yeyue stared at the pen on the half of the calligraphy and painting in his hand, muttering to himself.
He looked at the door of the workshop and smiled softly.
- This workshop is interesting.
