Section 301: The Immortal Bears the Terrace

The Qichun fairy garden is not as high as a zhang, and the green in the garden is sluggish, and the red is full of flowers. The soil is flat, the flowing spring is full of roads, or the wasteland, or the grass path, or the scattered dust and sand. Clear clouds and green trees, birds singing and flowers, scenery from nature, graceful scenery, pleasant people's hearts.

In the distance, I heard a thunderous sound suddenly vibrating, this is the palace car driving past, the more I heard the sound of the wheel, the farther and farther, without a trace, I don't know where it went. Although you can also see the stars in Qichun Fairy Garden during the day, that is the reason why the concubines and concubines turn on the makeup mirror and look at the mirror to allow the sun to shine back.

A strange fragrance wafted in, everyone looked up and saw the smoke in the distance rising obliquely, the clouds and mist across the sky, this is the palace attendant in the burning pepper, orchid spices; talent competition near the fairy Cheng terrace, Nangong Yuhuan saw the concubines and concubines, princes and grandsons from a distance, dignitaries and dignitaries resigned downstairs to the palace, and came from the fairy Cheng terrace. Look at the beautiful ladies and gentlemen, one skin and one appearance, extremely graceful, Baoding beautiful jade is used as an iron pot stubborn stone, gold pearls are treated as clods of sand and gravel, discarded everywhere, it is not a pity.

Nangong Yuhuan saw a girl, with an unusual appearance, white skin and beautiful appearance, a high nose bridge, blonde hair and green eyes, fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was an orchid, and there were poems praising it: long skirt with tie, wide sleeves and acacia shirt. Lantian jade on the head, big Qin beads behind the ears. Two beards are so slender, and there is nothing good in a lifetime.

The orchid rode through the path ahead, and everyone's eyes lit up, and some recognized that this was the county lord of the Guangping Palace, Xuanyuan Minghe, and took the meaning of standing out from the crowd. His mother was an Assyrian beauty, and the king of Guangping took him as a concubine and gave birth to the lord of the county.

Everyone walked to the water's edge, but saw that the water's edge was already full of beauties, and a few beauties who were surrounded by everyone were deep and true, with delicate texture and even flesh and bones. Wearing silk embroidered clothes, reflecting the spring scenery, the peacock embroidered with gold silk and the unicorn with silver thorns complement each other.

Look at the green micro leaves on the head and the sideburns, and then look at the back beads to press the waist and weigh the body steadily. The jade steamer brings out a fragrant purple hump, and the crystal disc brings up the fatty white fish. But I don't know if the beauty is tired of eating, but the rhino horn chopsticks in her hand have not fallen for a long time, and the waiter Luan knife on the side is busy cutting thin shreds of meat. The eunuchs flew on horseback but did not dare to raise a trace of dust, and the imperial kitchen sent seafood and delicacies in an endless stream. A group of servants played the sheng flute and drum music, lingering like they could move the ghosts and gods.

Nalan Rongruo exclaimed in surprise when she saw it: "Isn't that our family's Concubine Xi?"

Nangong Yuhuan carefully distinguished, there was indeed Concubine Xi in the seat, I think those beauties should be concubines in the palace!

"Why didn't you see the emperor and the queen?" asked Nalan Ronghua.

"Fool, if the emperor and queen come, can we still let go of the show?" Nalan Rongruo scoffed at Rong Hua's question.

"That's what my sister said. Nalan Ronghua bowed his head and was taught.

"However, although the emperor and the queen did not come, the concubines and the four concubines came, and the crown prince and the princess also seemed to come. Nalan Rongruo said.

"Hey, has my sister seen the imperial concubine? Nalan said with a strange face.

Nalan Rongruo smiled toothily and said: "Although I haven't seen the concubine Niangniang before, but what's so hard to guess, isn't the first seat of our concubine Xi to be the concubine?

Nangong Yuhuan looked at Nalan Rongruo's words, and saw that the noble lady was graceful, surrounded by a crowd, lying on the beauty, wearing a blood-colored bare-shouldered long skirt, and a large-sleeved saro shirt on the upper body, lightly covering the ****, causing the skin on the upper body to be faintly exposed. The skirt is tied to **** with a brocade belt, and she holds a seven-treasure glass statue in her hand. His hair was in a high bun, carrying a golden step, and he wore shoes engraved with phoenix patterns on black jade. The writing is distinct, and the light is gentle.

The people of the palace occupy the middle of the fairy terrace, and the performances of the ladies will be held on the terrace. Except for the concubine lying on the beauty floor, the rest of the people all sat on the ground, but they all spread thick velvet brocade and other things on the mat, and pulled up purple silk tents around the concubines.

Legend has it that this purple silk tent was obtained from the kraken in Bihaixi Cave and was made of fabrics such as twisted silk. It's light and very thin, and it hangs there as if nothing is hanging at all. Even in the freezing season, the wind does not blow into the tent, and even in the heat of summer, the tent is naturally cool. Its color is faint, so that you can't even see that there is a tent, only that it is a cloud of purple gas.

After the mother of the Nalan family led everyone to kneel down and ask for peace, she came to a piece of grass arranged in advance and sat down according to the guidance of the eunuch.

The attendant of the Yellow Gate brought a huge lotus leaf and put it on top of the inkstone, and then filled it with three liters of sake. After that, the lotus leaf is pierced with a hairpin, so that it communicates with the stalk of the lotus leaf, and then the petiole is bent, such as an elephant's trunk, and it is drunk and sucked vigorously, and it is named "Bi Tube". When drinking in this way, the liquor flavor is mixed with the fragrance of lotus, and the taste is extremely fragrant and cold.

When the people are in general, the competition begins. Although there are a lot of spectators in the competition of this talent, the real judgment of the results of the competition is the four concubines and nine concubines in the purple silk tent, which is obtained by secret ballot. If there are scores that are comparable, the final judgment of the concubine shall prevail.

Behind the four concubines and nine concubines placed a screen called Hauni, carved with a group portrait of beautiful women, the figure is about three inches long, and the clothes and ornaments worn are all treasures, with crystal substrates, tortoiseshell, water rhinoceros as the axis, pearls as the network, moving and rattling, embellishment exquisitely, ghostly and magical, not done by man.

A treasure chest was placed behind the screen, and the four concubines and nine concubines put the judgment results into the box, and the waiter in the Yellow Gate opened the box to check it, recorded the judgment results, and announced the ranking at the end. The top ten talents all have their own rewards, and they are all treasures in the palace, and they may be compared with those outside the palace.

The talent competition is that no one wants to hit this head, and they are more willing to put it in the back to show themselves, so that it is easier to be remembered by others.

Seeing that no one was willing to come to the stage, the concubine Niangniang on the beauty couldn't help frowning slightly, and planned to use the golden bottle lottery to elect the person on stage.

At this moment, I saw the figure of a young woman, flying from the air and landing on the fairy bearing terrace. Nangong Yuhuan looked fixedly, this woman turned out to be the woman on horseback she had just seen, as long as an orchid, Xuanyuan Minghe, the lord of the Guangping royal family.

After Xuanyuan Minghe came to power, he bowed to Yingying in all directions and said: "Since no one is willing to fight this battle, the little girl, as a member of the royal family, has no choice but to throw bricks and jade and sacrifice her ugliness." ”
