Chapter 61: Ensemble (2)
When the emperor saw him say this, he was not angry, but saw that she was so playful, and he was not afraid of his dragon power, and dared to bargain, feeling that his concubine was more charming than usual, "hahahaha" laughed for a while, and then agreed to Concubine Jing's request: "Okay! If you are more diligent than before, then the colorful glass beaded hairpin you asked me for last time will be rewarded to you to make a colorful head!"
Not to be outdone, Concubine Jing held her head high, and said with a smile: "The emperor counts when he speaks, and when he says something, it is difficult for the horse to chase......! Just wait for a while to get the lottery!" After that, he also made a special thank-you gift, and said unforgivingly: "The concubine will give the thank-you gift first, and the emperor will not be reluctant to do it later!"
Then I glanced at the dancers behind me, and the dancers spread out in a circle, revealing me and another accompanist inside. The two small chamberlains www.biquge.info the pen and the two chamberlains carried up a guqin with simple carving, exquisite carving, and translucent pulp and put it in the center of the main hall, and several little eunuchs moved three brocade stools.
Although Concubine Jing Niangniang said that she was laughing before and was going to give a formal gift, she naturally put away her jokes, straightened her face, sat behind the guqin, and glanced at the emperor's face before playing, and then lowered her head, ready to concentrate on playing, and no longer looked up.
The other accompanist and I sat down on the brocade bench behind the mother, took out the flute from our sleeves, but did not start playing it immediately, but waited quietly.
Concubine Jing adjusted the piano and began to play. As she played, the dancers, who had been scattered, began to transform into a semicircle according to the rehearsaled dance, just around the three of us in the center, and then began to dance.
I glanced at the emperor sitting in the main hall and the other concubines, and saw that they were staring at the concubines and the dancing girls, and their eyes were straight. Even if I can't turn back, I can feel that this gift performance, the dance rhythm complements each other, forming a natural beauty.
In an instant, I extinguished my cranky thoughts, and began to follow the music played by Concubine Jing as I concentrated my mind.
This was originally a piece of music I made, but Jing Concubine Niangniang did not completely adopt it, but changed it slightly. Although there are few changes, they make the whole piece change its meaning.
It was full of homesickness, with some sadness, but now it is all happy and joyful reunion. It's more like a continuation of the previous song, and it's also like the joy of reunion after a long absence.
I was there when I changed the tune at that time, and because of my status and feelings, I was completely in favor of it. In fact, what I have in mind is different. That song was originally inspired by feelings, and it was also the difficulty of living in the palace of gratitude, and when the meaning was changed, it was like having no soul and becoming a likable plaything, and it was difficult to play that feeling anymore.
Later, when I rehearsed the ensemble, every time I played, I sighed in my heart. I remember once listening to Nian Yang chanting unknowingly: "The first time I saw the emperor, I played such a meaningless tune, what a pity!"
Now that I think about it, although I am standing here, I am also playing meaningless tunes, but as a palace maid, I cover people's sights, avoid people's eyes and ears, wear a veil, and am afraid of being discovered.
Just as I was thinking about it, as soon as the tune of Jing Niangniang's piano music changed, I and another accompanist picked up the flute at the same time and began to play. Although the sound of the piano and the sound of the flute are two sounds, at this moment they are like the phoenix and the phoenix, the mandarin duck and the duck, entangled with each other, and the two become one, which not only sounds like the guqin, but also the crispness of the flute, which is very good.
This sound tactfully climbs around each other, one moment it seems to climb away to the clouds outside the sky, as high as the nine clouds, and the other time it falls to the ground like a falling stone outside the sky, until the reincarnation of the underworld.
In a blink of an eye, the sound of the piano gradually fell, and the sound of the flute gradually rose. The sound of the piano seems to whisper the feelings of parting, and there is a slight whimper, and the sound of the flute is clearer, soothing like flowing water. The rhythm of the song also became slow, and I couldn't help but feel how many iron men turned into finger tenderness.
As soon as the song started, all my thoughts and energy flowed into it. At this time, I couldn't control my emotions in the tone, and my eyes were a little moist. I struggled to control it, afraid that weeping on this auspicious day would cause trouble.
It's just that I didn't know that although I tried hard to endure it, inadvertently, the tears in the corners of my eyes still refracted a trace of light in the hall, and shot into the center of the hall, into the emperor's eyes. I just didn't know it at the time, so I didn't pay attention, but worked hard to complete the song.
Eventually, the sound of the piano began again, intertwined with the sound of the flute, entangled with each other, and the sound gradually weakened, and then gradually returned to calm. As soon as the sound of the piano fell, the sound of the flute gradually stopped, and no one made a sound under the seat.
After Concubine Jing stopped, she got up very satisfied, didn't make any sound, looked around, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, look, are you still satisfied with the song of the concubine?"
The emperor came back from a stunned look, and still laughed heartily "hahahaha" a few times, and then asked the eunuch beside him to fetch the hairpin with colorful glass beads and give it to Concubine Jing on the spot.
Concubine Jing thanked her with a smile, and saw the Qingyun girl beside her walk out from the side, took the box with the hairpin with a very good look, and retreated back with her head down.
Then Concubine Jing glanced at us, and the dancers saluted in unison and exited the hall. I and another accompanist also saluted and took off.
When the emperor saw that we were going to retire, he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wait!"
My heart instantly lifted again. I secretly looked at Concubine Jing Niangniang, and saw that Niangniang also looked dazed, obviously not knowing why the emperor suddenly left us.
I only listened to the emperor and continued: "Concubine Jing's song is so beautiful, I want to come...... The cooperation of these dancers is indispensable. The order went down, and each person was rewarded with thirty taels of silver. ”
Hearing the emperor say this, I mentioned that my heart was lowered again. Kneeling down obediently with the others, he thanked him: "Thank you Emperor Longen." Then he got up with the others. Exited the main hall upside down.
When he left the main hall, he saw a father-in-law come out with him, holding an ingot of silver in his hand. When I came out, I saw the dancers jumping for joy and fighting for the money, and I smiled and did not fight with them, but the musician who accompanied me took thirty taels of silver and handed it to me. He said, "Take it...... If you don't take it, I'm afraid it will attract people's attention......"
I took the silver and saluted her, and out of the corner of my eye I saw the girl waiting for me, and I turned and walked over, leaving the girl alone to look at my back.
