After a while, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music sounded.

Concubine Mei is wearing a long aqua green skirt, wearing a white cloud veil, the skirt is embroidered with golden flow patterns, high hairpins and cloud sideburns, light and wide sleeves, fluttering and rotating, like light sand and snow, and the flow lines are scattered into a little golden light. The lotus step is lightly lifted, and the green Luo flies up, like a wild goose that wants to spread its wings high; the water sleeves turn, and the green waist moves lightly, like a blue bird whirling and dancing in the air.

After the dance, all four of them praised.

Emperor Ming couldn't help but applaud. Every time I watch Concubine Mei dance, I can't help but sigh at the subtlety of the dance. picked up the jade Ruyi at hand, handed it to Concubine Mei and said, "Concubine Ai has worked hard, reward!"

Concubine Mei took Ruyi and glanced at Yang Yuhuan with smug eyes, "Didn't Lord Taizhen Guan say that he wanted to instruct the palace? ”

"Concubine Mei danced really well, using the dance to show the mood of the wild goose dancing in the air, the dance posture was light, elegant, and soft, and the dance was very godlike. And looking at Concubine Mei's dancing posture, if you don't practice it since childhood, it is difficult to have this skill. Yuhuan praised.

"Is there nothing to point out about?" Concubine Mei glanced at with disdain.

"That's it! I said it before, pretending to be a master, but in fact I don't know anything. Someone next to him helped.

"The Lord of this view is not finished yet. Yuhuan said calmly: "Dance is a good dance, but it's a pity that the instrument is used incorrectly." Although there are many strings and columns, which can better reflect the skill, this dance is clear and high, and it is more appropriate to use the flute. ”

"The melody of the Amazing Dance is melodic and tactful, and its subtlety can only be reflected with gonghou. The flute is high-pitched and monotonous, how can its meaning be fully revealed? This question was considered by Hongu when he was composing. ”

Concubine Mei was already very proud, and no one could compare to her talent, but now when she heard Yang Yuhuan speak, she laughed directly.

"If the Lord Taizhen doesn't understand the art of dancing, let's put it bluntly, why bother talking here and laughing and generous?"

"Although the dance is exquisite, it is enough to express it with the sound of the flute. I don't think I can express it, it's probably because my skills are not perfect. "Yuhuan didn't give an inch.

"Since the Lord said that the skills of this palace are not perfect, this palace is also speechless. Why don't you please watch the Lord play a song?"

Concubine Mei was angry. She has always boasted of her superb talent in the harem, but today she was said to be "not skilled", is it tolerable or unbearable?

"The Lord of Benguan didn't mean to criticize you, so why should Concubine Mei be inferior? Since Concubine Mei wants to listen to it, why not play a song for Lord Benguan?"

Yuhuan wanted to teach Concubine Mei a lesson, so that she didn't have nothing to provoke herself, and showed her talent just like in her previous life, "Your Majesty, please borrow a jade flute to use." ”

"Okay, no problem!" Emperor Ming hurriedly said to Gao Lishi: "Go, bring my jade flute with floating dragons and phoenixes to Taizhen." ”

Concubine Mei listened not very happily next to her.

The flute is carved by the best craftsmen with the best Lantian jade, taking the meaning of "dragon and phoenix and Ming", and it is a gift from Concubine Wu Hui in Shifanbang to please the emperor and concubine. After Concubine Wu Hui passed away, Emperor Ming often saw things and thought about people, so he didn't let others touch them.

Now take it out and use it for Yang Taizhen, Emperor Ming's thoughts are clearly revealed! Concubine Mei's heart is sour, and she is unwilling. But she couldn't say anything, only gritted her teeth secretly.

Gao Lishi is naturally clear about this matter, but he has long been clear about the emperor's thoughts, so he didn't hesitate, and he took it after a while.

Yuhuan took the jasper flute, put it to his mouth, his lips opened lightly, and the melodious music sounded, which was the amazing dance music that Fang had just played.

The sound of the flute is clear, sometimes the tone is high-pitched and soars into the sky, and sometimes it turns low back like a light wave hitting the shore, and the timbre fluctuates, making people feel like seeing the wild geese flying freely in the blue sky and blue sea, dancing and dancing.

After a song, the surroundings were silent, and everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Emperor Ming specially sent someone to inquire about Yang Yuhuan's background, knowing that her talent was by no means below Concubine Mei, but she didn't expect that after only listening to the thrilling song once, she remembered the melody exactly the slightest, and played it with flute music, substituting everyone into such a good situation.

is so smart and clever, it really makes the other concubines in the harem out of reach!

Emperor Ming was happy for a moment and praised: "Taizhen is really talented, and it is difficult for ordinary people to match." This jasper flute can only be played so exquisitely by Taizhen, it will be a bit of a waste to put it in the hands of others, so I might as well give it to you!"

Yuhuan loves the rhythm of music, and as soon as he uses it, he knows that this flute is a good thing, and he does not shirk it, so he accepts it.

Concubine Mei next to her was still a little unwilling, and pouted: "The Lord of Taizhen Guan is proficient in music and rhythm, and this palace is beyond his reach." Presumably, the dance skills can also overwhelm the crowd, why don't you take advantage of this good moon to let Your Majesty and the sisters see and understand?"

Yang Taizhen is proficient in music, so she can't dance better than herself? Concubine Mei thought so, intending to win back a game.

"Okay, okay, Taizhen is a person who cultivates purely, playing the flute is a graceful thing, and dancing is not appropriate. The concubine is not messing around, so quickly retreat. ”

Emperor Ming didn't want to really annoy Yuhuan, so he hurriedly drank Concubine Mei.

Qing cultivator, you are still a "too true" mouthful, and you are so affectionate! Concubine Mei slandered in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it, so she deserved to retreat in disgust.

At this banquet, Emperor Ming and Yuhuan were both very happy, one to hear the music of the beautiful woman, and the other to get a treasure.

Only the concubines were sullen. Let's not mention that this Yang Taizhen is super talented, they really can't compare. Let's just say that the jasper flute, how many sisters wanted the emperor in the past and were unwilling to give it, but they gave it to her. Now everyone knows the emperor's intentions, so it's no wonder that they can be happy.

Concubine Mei felt a deep sense of crisis. Before today, they were only vaguely guessing, but now they all understand that this Mrs. Yang is really their rival in love!

Even if Concubine Mei has always been arrogant and self-admiring, she feels that this Mrs. Yang is really a fierce rival.

Although she cultivates the Tao all day long, only wears plain clothes, does not apply fat powder, and does not wear hairpin beads, she has a beautiful appearance and is stunning, and it is difficult to hide it. If you really dress up, you may not be able to compare to her.

Gotta find a way to get rid of her. Concubine Mei secretly made up her mind in her heart.

After mid-autumn, the weather is getting colder.

Fanbang put on some good skins, and the Ming Emperor made a silver fox skin and a fire fox skin into a big one and sent it to Taizhenguan.

Silver fox and fire fox are the best to keep warm, the skin color is bright and silky, which is very rare, not every year, not to mention such a complete whole skin.

Thinking about the appearance of the jade ring, it is very commensurate with which one is used.

Yuhuan received the clothes, left the silver fox and brought it back to Gaolis. It is said that it is a monk, and the dress should not be too bright.

This fire fox was seen by Concubine Mei again, so she asked Emperor Ming to go.

Concubine Mei was born in a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and she also had some knowledge, knowing that fire fox skin was rare, and she had the heart to show off, so she held a plum blossom banquet in the plum garden where she lived when the first snow fell in winter, and invited the concubines of the harem to come together to enjoy the plum blossoms. also specially sent someone to Taizhen Temple to invite Yang Yuhuan.

As a cultivator, Yuhuan did not have much contact with the concubines of the harem. Only when Emperor Ming summoned someone to invite her, she stepped out of the gate. What reason Concubine Mei asked her to ask her, you will know when you think about it.

Originally, she was too lazy to take care of it. However, Concubine Mei, as the head of the concubines in the current harem, is in charge of the harem, and Taizhenguan must also be controlled by her. Although Taizhenguan took care of most of the things Gao Lishi, some trivial things were not good and always troubled him.

Since Concubine Mei specially sent someone to invite her, and said that she had already reported that the emperor had invited her, she would not go but would be like putting on a show, which was not beautiful in vain.

On this day, Yuhuan wore a light blue cotton brocade robe embroidered with silver thread and went out without makeup. Yun Rong, the personal maid next to her, handed over the silver fox gift given by Emperor Ming some time ago.

Yuhuan didn't bring anything with him when he left the Shouwang Mansion, and the clothes and ornaments in the temple were later purchased by the inner supervisor in the palace. There are examples of the use in the palace, and the exceptions depend on the emperor's reward.

Although the Ming Emperor gave a lot of treasured utensils, clothes and commonly used things are generally not easy to consider. Concubine Mei has always been cautious and will not divide too many examples of Taizhen Concept. It is because the use of jade rings in the view is not in short supply, and it is not so abundant.

Like this big one, there are only two pieces. This heavy snow is naturally the silver fox that is worn.

Yuhuan walked out of the gate and saw the Ming Emperor's footsteps stopped at the door.

"It's really out! Since it's going to the plum garden, let's go with me!" Emperor Ming wore a mink coat and seemed to naturally come to take her along.

Yuhuan knew that he was afraid that he would freeze, so he didn't shirk it, thanked him, and sat on another step behind.

Concubine Mei was waiting for Emperor Ming at the gate of the Plum Garden.

This plum garden was originally called Xuehan Palace, and it is the best place to see the snow scene. Because she loved plum blossoms, the Ming Emperor collected various varieties of plum trees from all over the country and transplanted them one by one to implant them in this courtyard, thus becoming a plum garden. The word "Plum Garden" on the palace gate was also written by the Ming Emperor himself. This is a testimony of the love between Emperor Ming and her.

It's just that after Yang Taizhen entered the palace, the emperor was a little cold to her. Although she is still the first person in the harem, the reward is no longer the first one.

Although Yang Taizhen cultivated in the palace, he prayed for the late Empress Dowager Dou. But the emperor can make her return to the vulgar at any time. With her appearance, she is by no means a thing in the pool.

Concubine Mei has always regarded herself as a virtuous concubine, and she will not intend to influence the emperor, but she can borrow something to knock Yang Taizhen. It would be great if she could get her to retreat.

A group from afar came forward, and Concubine Mei recognized that it was the honor guard of the Ming Emperor, and led the concubines behind her to bow down.

"The concubine sees His Majesty!"

"Hurry up, please! It's so cold, you don't have to make this big gift. Emperor Ming stepped down, took the lead in helping Concubine Mei, and said to everyone.

"It is a blessing for the concubines to be able to come and enjoy the plum blossoms with the concubines. How can the concubine be abandoned?" Concubine Mei was helped up by Emperor Ming's own hands, and she was very happy in her heart. was talking timidly, but caught a glimpse of Yang Yuhuan standing behind Emperor Ming.

"Why is the Lord Taizhen here?" Concubine Mei asked, very annoyed in her heart. How could this be true! Just now we saluted His Majesty, didn't we even bow to her too?

"The road was too far, and I was worried that it would be too cold, so I took her with me. Emperor Ming said for Yuhuan.

When Concubine Mei heard this, her heart was like falling into an ice cellar, which was colder than the ice and snow in the sky.
