Chapter Twenty-Eight: Banquet Penglai
"Imperial grandmother Mingjian, imperial grandmother Mingjian, Xian'er didn't have this heart. Jiang Luxian knew that Empress Dowager Shen thought of Wei Zi again, and threw her eyes at the prince for help in panic, and she didn't forget to glare at Shen Xiaoshen before that, and thousands of voices in her heart were scolding Shen Xiaoshen, a mourning star.
The prince put Jiang Lu behind him, let go of the hand holding her, and said: "Grandmother's birthday grandson, in addition to the gift of Fang Cai, there is also a skill to make grandmother smile, and I don't know whether to perform or not, and I don't want the cousin of the Shen family to be sharp-eyed, so the grandson has to be ugly." ”
Empress Dowager Shen knew that the prince was trying to excuse Jiang Lu again, how could she tolerate it again and again, and she was about to refuse without thinking, and the emperor, who had been drowsy, suddenly opened her mouth:
"Hmm, that's interesting, what do you need to prepare?"
"Father, just give pen and ink to your son. ”
Seeing that the emperor was approved, the Queen Mother stopped talking. After a while, the eunuch in front of the emperor presented the lake Ying, Hui ink, the ink was grinded, the prince grabbed the Hu Ying's pen and turned, using Jiang Luxian's skirt as paper, and a few strokes were connected and stained with the previous mud stains, and a "Xu Daily Green Pine and Cypress Picture" was vividly presented in front of him. With the red dress as the morning glow, it also means that the queen mother is like the rising sun, like an evergreen pine, and prolongs her life.
Which of you here is not a human spirit, although you know that this thing is not designed in advance as the prince said, but this flexibility coupled with this talent, many women of the family fell into the deep eyes of the prince when he painted, the scar on the right eye is not reduced, and the slightly dark purple eyes are even more charming like gems.
The eldest princess of Zhaoyang was the first to applaud, and the others also applauded. Jiang Luxian was also intoxicated by the prince's eyebrows, and saw that those arrogant daughters could only look at her at the side of the prince at this time, and her chin was slightly raised, as if a peacock with the screen was showing off this honor.
The eldest princess of Zhaoyang, who had been watching the changes in the situation, paused on Jiang Luxian and couldn't help but shake her head.
I heard the emperor say in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Yes, what does the queen mother think?"
Empress Dowager Shen held back the fire in her belly today, and her niece and granddaughter, who had high hopes, could not make promises, so she reluctantly smiled and praised her.
King Muyang was left to watch the play, shrugged his shoulders, and said to the Empress Dowager Shen: "Grandmother, why don't you just let the song and dance start while she is happy? Concubine Chen may have let the musician dance girl come out? This king is quite curious about the Persian dance." ”
"Well, you all sit down. After the Empress Dowager Shen spoke, she closed her eyes and pushed the rest of the matter to Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, then let's just start a banquet according to the children's ideas, right?" Fang Cai's show delayed a lot of time, and it could only speed up the progress.
The huqin played, the music rippled, and the Persian dancer wore a flowing long skirt and a light veil on her head, surrounding a person in the center and dancing the ribbons on her sleeves, which was indeed an exotic style that had never been seen before. But the emperor and the others had seen the Hu Xuan dance that Princess Parry danced before, which was a combination of oriental beauty, and it was more amazing than this original Hu dance, so they still looked at it intently because of the face of the Persian general, but they all felt bored.
At the end of the song, the applause was thunderous, for the sake of the courtesy.
The most central woman, who is dressed more luxuriously than other dancing girls, bowed down, and said in Chinese: "I wish the Queen Mother a long life and Changchun, and five blessings and eternal luck." He repeated it again in Persian, and then waited with his head on his eyebrows.
The Persian general Ayatollah reclined on his seat, brushed his long hair with his hand, and said softly: "What does Your Majesty think? Persia is on par with the Central Plains, right?"
The ayatollahs' extremely lame accent sounded funny, but no one could laugh, and speaking with the emperor's attitude, the sincerity of the Persian sue for peace was a little bit glimpsed into the whole leopard.
But the emperor didn't seem to hear the provocation in his words, leaned back in his chair and replied with half-drooping eyes: "Persia is a big country in the Western Regions, and the cultural differences are huge, so it is time to communicate more. ”
At this time, the emperor has been standing in the dark on the side of the person complimented: "Your Majesty Shengming, the old way to watch the stars at night, as soon as the concubine Niangniang comes, Ziweixing will be glorious, Dayong and Persia friendship is the blessing of the two countries, Your Majesty will be the most outstanding emperor in the history of Dayong, the old Taoist recently Qing Xiu will use tea instead of wine to toast His Majesty's foundation for eternity." ”
Many of the male generals had their hands exposed, almost crushing the wine glass, and Wenchen was also angry This bastard is bent on matching Dayong and Persia to make friends, if Persia is sincere, it will be enough, look at the appearance of the Persian general, there is no respect for Dayong at all, and then look at the orchid concubine he sent, with a charming face, and he is ashamed to perform with the dancing girl, which is really a shame to lose the face of the concubine of Dayong.
But those were all secretly surging emotions, but everyone on the scene tacitly toasted His Majesty and echoed the old words.
The prince and King Muyang glanced at each other, both of them held their cups and never spoke, King Muyang shrugged and smiled, his eyes glanced at Jiang Yanshu, and the prince also looked at it, but Jiang Yanshu saw it and toasted the prince and the king of Muyang in the air, and the three of them drank all the wine in the cup.
After that, there were a few songs and dances, and then to the queen mother's favorite opera, the servants babbled and sang on the stage, a song "Eight Immortals Celebrate Birthday" In the end, Han Xiangzi blew Xiao, Uncle Cao's wat board knocked on Zhang Guolao's fish drum, Tie Guan Li's gourd flew out and knocked down Lan Caihe's flower basket, Han Zhongli's sunflower fan blew the wind, and Lu Dongbin picked up He Xiangu's lotus with a sword among the flying flowers, and the audience was shocked, a crane flew out of the huge lotus, coiling in the hall, Han Xiangzi Xiao suddenly paused, the crane was facing the Empress Dowager Shen with a long roar, and the couplets of congratulations were hung on both sides of the hall.
The deafening applause lasted for a long time, this was a real appreciation, exclamation, and even the Empress Dowager Shen, who was upset throughout the whole process, smiled and praised: "It's really wonderful, the whole scene is the most in line with the hearts of the mourners, whose idea, reward, big prize!"
Empress Dowager Shen had the intention to say better about the emperor's concubine, but the fact is also true, compared to the similar Hu Wu, this ingenious curtain call is indeed wonderful.
At this time, Concubine Chen stood up and gave a salute, and replied: "The queen mother's joy is the greatest reward for the concubine." ”
The words were atmospheric and ironing, and the servants on the stage also said in unison, all of them were Concubine Chen's novel ideas, and another scene was added at the end.
