Chapter XVIII. Provocation
Suddenly, the woman next to Long Yinxiu made me breathe, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves, and her eyes were fixed on her. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The woman was dressed in Longquan costume, with a lake-green collar and a large collar jacket, embroidered with the group pattern of magpie Dengmei. Lined with light-colored multicolored woven brocade skirt, the satin is woven with the unique colorful silk of Longquan country, this silk is extremely precious, three years to spit into multicolored silk to weave into a cloth, made into a skirt to walk with the colorful light with the steps, dazzling in the sun. The women in the seat were all amazed and envious of her dress, and at the same time jealous. They are all wondering who this woman is? Why is she standing next to Lord Sheng, the person who should be standing there is himself. They all gritted their silver teeth with hatred, and their hands wringed their handkerchiefs deadly. I sneered, this skirt on her body can't be achieved every five or six years of hard work, Long Yinxiu really spoils her.
The long hair is combed into a snake bun, two pairs of ruby plum blossom hairpins are inserted obliquely on the left and right, and in the middle of the bun is a jade hair comb full of flowers. Long eyebrows are drawn into the sideburns, a pair of peach blossom eyes are seductive, red lips and teeth, and a Yingluo collar with white jade shell tassels on the neck. The woman in front of me is not Jiang Yingrou, who else can there be, even if she turns to ashes, I can recognize her.
As if sensing my gaze, Jiang Yingrou also looked at me, her gaze fell on me for two seconds, and she didn't seem to notice anything unusual and took it back.
Long Yinxiu and Jiang Yingrou finally walked across from us and sat down in the spotlight, and then shouted to the eunuch who heard him: "The emperor has arrived!"
Everyone stood up from their seats when they heard the voice, the imperial brother wore a bright yellow dragon robe in front, followed by Concubine Zhen, at this time Concubine Zhen had changed her dress, gorgeous and exaggerated, still full of pearls and green smiles followed the imperial brother like a flower, waiting for the imperial brother to stand on the main seat, the civil and military officials sitting down all bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Zhongqing is flat. After the royal brother said, the dragon robe sat down as soon as he lifted it, and everyone heard the sound and thanked him and sat down one after another. Concubine Zhen sat down on the left side of the imperial brother, her eyes swept to me, tens of thousands of "poisonous needles" shot straight at me, I pursed my lips and smiled, directly met her eyes, her eyes were full of provocation, so angry that Concubine Zhen almost dropped the cup.
"Today's palace banquet, in order to congratulate the two countries to form diplomatic relations, Prince Sheng can have fun, and the secretaries do not have to be formal. ”
After the imperial brother finished speaking, everyone said: "Thank you, Emperor." ”
Long Yinxiu poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and said to the imperial brother: "Your Majesty, this cup of wine is a tribute to you, and I wish Fengchi and Longquan Yongxiu good friends." "Anyway, drink it all.
The imperial brother raised his wine glass, "Then borrow the auspicious words of King Sheng!" After speaking, he also raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
At this time, the singing and dancing have begun, and the dancers are fiddling with their waists and dancing lightly. And I was already dizzy from hunger, and I was so hungry that I could care about what kind of song and dance, gently lifted the veil, picked up the food with big chopsticks and put it in my mouth and chewed it carefully.
Ouyang Zhi drank the wine gently, but the dish did not move a bit, I sighed lightly, it was really unpleasant.
When I was almost finished, I raised my head and was looking at the eyes of Shanglong Yinxiu, who was looking at me with interest, and I was stunned for a moment, and I looked away stupidly.
At this time, the first song and dance has dispersed, and I don't know who mentioned it, "Your Majesty, I have long been tired of watching the songs and dances in this palace, and the noble ladies and ladies sitting here today must all have unique skills, why not let them come to have a good time?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded yes, and the imperial brother bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "This is very good!"
When Concubine Zhen heard this, she said coquettishly: "The emperor is stingy, so there should be some rewards, otherwise who will!"
The others also echoed Concubine Zhen, a son in a purple robe and brocade robe: "Yes! Otherwise, they won't do their best. Hahaha......"
When I heard the voice, I looked at it, and I looked handsome, but I was just a stubborn kid, so I closed my gaze.
When the royal brother heard this, he smiled, and with this smile, the girls sitting down were all hooked. "Since Aiqing said, then I will have a heavy reward for those who win the top spot today. As for the prizes, I will keep them secret. ”
When the nobles sitting there heard it, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they all looked at each other, and they were all eager to try.
Concubine Zhen smiled coquettishly, and when her eyes touched me, she went cold, and her eyes were full of calculations. Soon changed his smiling face to greet the imperial brother, and said softly: "Your Majesty, who do you say should start first?" paused, and then said: "The concubine knows that she is only shallow in learning, so she will stay until the end, you look at the other girls...... Why don't you throw the hydrangea? Whoever the hydrangea falls to?"
"Concubine Zhen, this is a good idea. Long Yinxiu echoed, and didn't forget to glance at me during the process.
The royal brother nodded and agreed with Concubine Zhen's method, and ordered the palace maid next to him to fetch the hydrangea.
Concubine Zhen smiled and turned to the hydrangea in the palace maid's hand, "Your Majesty, since the concubine is the last, then it's good for the concubine to throw this hydrangea." The concubines and the nobles are not familiar with each other, so naturally they will not show favoritism. ”
Don't mention how disgusting these words are in my ears, and I am just trying to be the finale at the end, and I will not show favoritism? I stared at Concubine Zhen's movements, and secretly grabbed a few peanuts and hid them in my sleeve when people were not paying attention. Concubine Zhen received permission from the imperial brother, and her gaze was directed at me defiantly, and I did not shy away from looking directly at her.
Concubine Zhen raised a cruel smile, gently tossed the hydrangea in her hand, and her lips opened slightly: "Sisters, are you ready?" After speaking, he threw the hydrangea in his hand hard, the hydrangea was originally towards the purple-clothed lady on the right side at the beginning, but he turned around halfway and flew straight towards me, spinning in the air at a very fast speed, I saw this, deliberately pretended to be frightened, his eyes were full of fear, but his hand was secretly in the sleeve of the internal force, the index finger flicked hard, the peanuts flew towards the hydrangea at an alarming speed, hit the hydrangea, forced the hydrangea to change direction, and flew towards the concubine.
Concubine Zhen didn't expect that the hydrangea would suddenly change her original preset direction and fly towards herself, and her face changed in fright, at this time it was too late to do her hands and feet, everyone's eyes were on herself, Concubine Zhen had to stand in place stupidly, the hydrangea smashed straight on her head, and a hosta was smashed from the hair to the ground, and it was gloriously sacrificed and broken in two.
Concubine Zhen's face was blue but she had to squeeze out a smile, everyone sitting was choked by this dramatic scene, everyone praised it, Concubine Zhen's technique of throwing hydrangea was really clever enough, and finally smashed herself.
Seeing this, the imperial brother shook his head helplessly, "Concubine Ai, since the hydrangeas have come to you, then you should come first." With that, he glanced at me.
Ouyang Zhi also looked at me, and I shrugged innocently, waiting to see Concubine Zhen's performance.
Concubine Zhen glared at me angrily, as if to say, "You wait and see!"
I smiled indifferently, just waited, who was afraid of whom!
Concubine Zhen blessed the imperial brother and said slowly: "Please ask the emperor to allow the concubine to go down and change her clothes." ”
The royal brother bowed his head, and Concubine Zhen retreated with the palace maid.
After a while, Concubine Zhen led the palace daughter back, changed into a concubine-colored water-sleeved dance dress, her fragrant shoulders were half exposed, the tassels began to sway all the way down to her knees around her waist, and the skirt spread out in the shape of a lotus. The pearls on the head were all removed, and a lotus silk flower of the same color was pinned. The appearance should be disgusting and charming, and the smile is full of all kinds of style.
She saluted everyone, and the musician's music sounded slowly, and Concubine Zhen danced to the music. The steps under his feet are as light as Lingbo, and his fingers are as delicate as willows. Her waist swayed wantonly, the water sleeves drew a beautiful arc in the air in her hand as if she had life, and a rotating skirt bloomed like a blooming lotus flower on the main hall.
To tell the truth, Concubine Zhen's dance was indeed good, I watched it with relish, and suddenly, Concubine Zhen spun around, only to hear her exclaim "Ouch!", a stumble, and then was mixed by her own water sleeve, and the whole person fell to the ground like a rag.
I was shocked, I just didn't dance well, how could I ...... Ouyang Zhi glanced at me, and I whispered, "It's not me!" I don't do this kind of thing, people whose dancing skills are not as good as mine, I don't care about it. Concubine Zhen was obviously not her own mistake just now, so who could it be?
