Chapter 435: Qinglong
In addition to the emperor's family, there are also six tables to accompany guests, sitting Chu Tang and other relatives, as well as the members of the imperial court. There are a total of 24 hot and cold dishes per table, which is much less than that of the emperor, and the bowl serving the dishes has also been downgraded to a porcelain bowl. The rest of the courtiers were basically outside the hall, looking on their tiptoes, maybe they could see the figure of the emperor inside. It's still the size of a bean.
When everything was ready, to the sound of drums, the emperor and his concubines took their seats. Xu Mao stood beside Feng Jingting and waited for him to eat the soup first. The soup is packed in a pair of boxes, and the "pair of boxes" is two boxes in one, which means that they are auspicious in pairs. The emperor's pair of boxes is two, the left box is a bird's nest red and white duck waist hot meal, and a japonica rice dry meal. The right box is a bird's nest duck kidney soup and a duck tofu soup. The two boxes of soup were simmered over a warm fire for a long time, and the fragrance hooked people to come out.
Feng Jingting tasted everything and thought it was delicious, so he tapped it lightly with his fingers, and then glanced at Guo Wenying, who was standing far away and couldn't even enter the palace gate.
Xu Mao understood, and immediately asked someone to send out the dishes ordered by the emperor, but he didn't dare to eat them outside the palace, so he could only ask someone to send them out and bring them back to the house to enjoy.
Then, the eunuchs sent soup to the concubines, although they also used the right box, but the number was halved, one pair per person, containing a japonica rice meal and a mutton egg powder soup.
After the soup is served, the music stops and the feast begins. The so-called transfer banquet is to start all kinds of meals and furnishings on the banquet from the emperor's table and turn around on the accompanying table, which means that the whole family can enjoy it together. After the feast, a banquet is held. The emperor's wine and food table is divided into five ways with a total of 40 products, and the concubine's wine and food is 15 products per table. The emperor entered the first glass of wine in the music of Dansheng Dadong, and the concubines entered the wine one by one. After drinking, the fruit tea is consumed, and then the concubine takes a seat, the emperor leaves the banquet, the music of praise is played, and the family banquet is over.
After that, the emperor ordered that the food he had eaten, even plates, bowls, saucers, spoons, and chopsticks, should be rewarded to his close ministers, princes, and county kings. Everyone waited together to watch the "Qinglong Dance".
As the music played, the hunters swarmed out in the form of eight samurai and began to dance wildly. They carried quivers, stepped on stilts, and rode fake horses, showing the hunting life of their ancestors. They are also wearing animal skins, and their upper bodies are completely naked, revealing strong pectoral muscles, and the muscles on their bodies tremble slightly with each dance, which has a wild beauty.
The ladies in the hall are not forbidden to cover their faces with fans or handkerchiefs, but their eyes are exposed, and they look like they want to see but dare not look.
The lead dancer jumped into the dance troupe with a steel fork in his hand and danced to the beat, expressing the essence of the dance to the fullest. He wore a leather skirt underneath, revealing his sturdy body, looking very primitive masculinity.
He was already handsome, but as soon as he appeared, he was immediately amazed, and the handkerchiefs in the hands of some ladies flew away, and their eyes were so big that they forgot what to cover. The harem concubines are quite reserved, but their eyes are also shining.
Guo Wenying and a group of noble girls were standing outside the hall, and some people couldn't help but look inside the palace door, and couldn't help whispering, asking who the person leading the dance was.
Someone laughed: "Don't you know this? That's Yan Xiang's nephew, Yan Guifei's cousin, called Hua Xiyuan, I heard that this person has been practicing martial arts with masters since he was a child, and he has just entered Beijing recently, and he is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. ”
The other lady smiled and pushed her, "How do you know so clearly?
The noble girl couldn't help but blush her cheeks, and looking at the spring on her face, she was really moved by the lead dancer in that scene.
Guo Wenying also secretly looked at the nephew of Yan Xiang, his appearance is secondary, his good skills are rare. Although she is a three-legged cat, she has also practiced martial arts in the end, and it can be seen from the good or bad. This person actually integrated a boxing technique into the dance, and the dull dance steps suddenly became tasteful, and the ability of this choreography is also amazing.
A moment later, another lead dancer with a team of people also appeared, this lead dancer was found by Jiang Yuyan, and sure enough, both her appearance and dance posture were inferior to Hua Xiyuan, and seeing Jiang Yuyan so angry that she twisted her veil, she knew that she had lost.
Then thirty-two beasts, half black and half yellow, all dressed in ugly masks, some dressed as lions, some dressed as tigers, leaping and throwing down, dancing like wild beasts. There is no need to practice anything to be a beast, just make the movements of the beast, and there is a tiger king on the scene who flips up for a while, jumps down for a while, falls to the ground for a while, and roars for a while, which makes the nobles who watch laugh more than once.
The dance of Qinglong Dance is divided into five sections: Distant Looking, Tracking, Traveling, Divine Skill, and Hunting, and there are more than 20 movements such as arrows and dancing knives.
At this time, the performance in the field has reached the high dynasty, the stage of divine skills, first by a hunter to send arrows, bowstring sound, a beast fell in response, and the rest of the beasts said tame, symbolizing the success of martial arts.
A burst of music sounded, and the warriors in the field began to draw their bows, the bows and arrows were all specially made for performance, and the arrows in front were removed and wrapped in white cloth, which was not lethal. As the bowstring was full, everyone watching from the audience cheered, and at this moment, suddenly a dancer's bow turned around and shot towards the Feng Jing Pavilion on the main seat of the main hall.
Feng Jingting has been immersed in martial arts for many years, although he was caught off guard, he was still nimble, and the arrow that was shortened down, the arrow was directly nailed to the dragon chair, and it was actually with an arrow.
He shouted, "Come on, don't take it yet." ”
The closest was Hua Xiyuan, and he kicked at the dancer, who rolled over and dodged, and then stabbed him in the chest with a steel fork, which was actually a stab, and the dancer was killed on the spot.
A trace of gloom flashed on Feng Jingting's face, and he whispered: "Come on, arrest all these people." Find out who is the mastermind. ”
The dancers were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
When the people in the hall saw this change, they couldn't help but be stunned, using a real arrow is a conspiracy to assassinate the emperor, even if there are a few heads, it is not enough to cut off.
Feng Jingting looked at the panicked faces in the hall, and secretly sneered in his heart, no matter who instructed it, he couldn't run away from one of them in this hall. Just set fire to the Frost Cloud Hall a few days ago, and the matter has not been clarified, and now the matter of the assassination is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and Shengsheng does not want to let him, the emperor, have a good year.
The palace gate began to be sealed in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the foreign women and female dependents were released from the palace, and those close branch clans, princes, and first-class and second-rank members remained in the palace for investigation.
When something like this happened during the Chinese New Year, everyone was panicked, and when they left the palace, Mrs. Lu and the Duchess of Dingguo both pulled Guo Wenying and asked her what to do.
