Chapter 192: A Thousand Autumn Festivals
On the second day, the Qianqiu Festival, the palace was very lively all day long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to the etiquette system, the queen first went to the queen mother and the queen mother's palace to salute, and then to the Jiaotai hall to ascend, the celebration ceremony, from the princess to the wife of the general of the Zhenguo, the princess, the Hou Zhishang Shuming women, etc., all wore court clothes, to the queen's seat before saluting.
After the ceremony, the queen held a banquet in Kunning Palace.
It was spring, the weather was good, and the banquet was set up in the palace garden behind the Kunning Palace, which was a reward for the occasion and a reward for highlighting Longen.
On this day, the palace was full of women in gorgeous crowns and noble clothes, and a scene of flowers. The osmanthus tree that has just been spit green is hung with bright silk ribbons, and the ground is covered with brocade, which complements the color of the women's posture and makes it even more luxurious.
It stands to reason that civil and military officials, family men and men are not allowed to enter the Qianqiu banquet, so Batu and the others can be regarded as dragging Zhu Youji's blessing and occupying a table exclusively, and they can see this lively scene.
And Li Muer and He Qingyan sat among the female officials, very far away from the main table.
There is no banquet without wine, there is no banquet without wine, and the banquet in the palace is not as easy as the banquet in the same hall yesterday, and there are rules and etiquette everywhere.
The musicians of the Ministry of Rites and Workshops entered one after another, stood respectfully in front of their respective instruments, and bowed to Zhu Youzhu and the queen. Every wine trip is always accompanied by music, the music sounds, the internal officials and the Honglu Temple prelude class pour wine for them, drink, and the music stops.
Somehow, when the musician got up after the salute, the queen seemed to see something terrifying, and the wine glass in her hand suddenly fell, and there was a big crackling sound.
This small accident did not affect the atmosphere of the banquet, and the Qianqiu Festival is the specification of the middle banquet, "seven times for drinking, five times for eating". Interspersed with congratulatory words from the courtiers, most of them are not new, just a high-sounding polite words.
The only thing that attracted Li Muer was the dance interspersed between the wines.
She is a person who loves to dance, but what she can learn is just some solo dances, and beauty is beautiful, but she still lacks courage. This court dance is different, rows of graceful young boys or girls move neatly and uniformly, not to mention thousands of forms, but they are square and round, and the spirit is thousands.
The martial dance "Dance of Pacifying the World" is powerful and enjoyable, and the cultural dance "Dance of Fu'an Siyi" is full of novelty.
"Good!" Li Mu'er couldn't help but praise, "The dancers who danced this "Dance of the Four Eases" all have their own characteristics, and they interpret various dances to the extreme. ”
He Qingyan had never been exposed to these court etiquettes, so he naturally wondered, "What is the Dance of the Four Yi of Fu'an?" ”
Before Li Mu'er could answer, Cui Gongzheng on the opposite side sneered: "It's His Royal Highness Dancer, who dances Goryeo Dance, Huihui Dance, Ryukyu Dance, and Northern Dance in the east, west, south, and north respectively." Yi Siyi and I have fun with the Ming Dynasty. ”
Li Muer and He Qingyan glanced at each other helplessly, unwilling to bother with her.
Who expected that there was a strange movement at the front of the banquet, Li Mu'er followed the reputation, only to find out that it was Batu and them, and they were dissatisfied somewhere?
While she was still pondering what was going on, she heard three clear high-fives, and then two of Batu's maids walked in from outside the garden and took the drumsticks from the musicians, and their wooden lattice stepped out of their seats and walked towards the center of the stage.
When she came over, she happened to meet Li Mu'er's eyes, she seemed to have been looking for her, and when she finally saw her at this moment, she seemed a little excited, half provocative and half friendly at her.
Li Mu'er secretly said that it is not good, this little girl is too showy, and she wants to compare herself with others whenever and wherever she is.
Li Mu'er hurriedly looked around at the guards outside the banquet, and found Mu Bin with sharp eyes. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she quickly slipped to Mu Bin's side.
Mu Bin listened to her whisper a few words, and first went to Zhu Youji's side to ask for instructions, Zhu Youzhu glanced at Li Mu'er from afar, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and nodded.
Mu Bin left in a hurry.
When Li Mu'er returned to his seat, the drums had already started, and his wooden grid danced rapidly to the sound of drums. The rhythm of the drums is bright, and its wooden dance steps are light and swift, and between a wave of the hand, a detour, and a jump, it is full of Mongolian enthusiasm, bravery, roughness and fierceness.
Especially the spinning posture, like snowflakes fluttering in the air, like fluffy grass flying in the wind, even the speeding wheels feel slower than hers, and even the spring breeze around her seems to be inferior.
Li Mu'er couldn't help but applaud.
The helper she's looking for hasn't arrived yet, and she has to delay as much as she can.
"Your Majesty, his wooden grid is really eight-sided and exquisite, and he is proficient in all eighteen martial arts. Legend has it that Emperor Tang Ming was attracted by Yang Guifei's 'Hu Xuan Dance', and when he saw that he was happy, he took the drumstick, and beat the drum for the concubine in a hurry, and actually broke the drum! Xia Guan was only surprised when he read this, and today he saw his wooden grid dancing, but I really believe that the dancers will be obsessed with forgetfulness. ”
Qi Muge naturally laughed and said with a smile: "Yang Guifei is good at dancing, but it attracts men. Have you ever heard of Aunt Gongsun? ”
"Aunt Gongsun, she is good at sword dance, and the lower officials have heard of it."
Qi Muge raised his eyebrows, "What I want to learn most is her "Sword Weapon Dance", but unfortunately, my left and right hands can't be coordinated. ”
Gongsun Auntie's sword dance, according to legend, Gongsun Auntie wears a beautiful military uniform that has been artistically processed, and her dancing posture is steady and refreshing, showing the posture of martial arts and fighting. Du Fu once described that between her advance and retreat, in the rapid and rapid dance, she showed strips of light, accompanied by the rumbling drums, and came to the thunder to stop her anger, just like the clear light of the river and the sea, and the audience changed color.
If Li Mu'er's right hand is fine, she can still give it a try, but now how can she have the ability to take her trick.
Whispers rang out in her ears, and everyone seemed to be waiting for her to respond. Li Mu'er looked out of the garden, but there was no sign of anyone coming. Sighing secretly in her heart, she raised her head and said to her Muge: "If you don't dislike it, I am willing to be your left hand and dance a sword weapon with you!" ”
"Good!" There was all kinds of excitement in his Muge tone, and he overshadowed the small noise of the woman next to him with one word.
"The emperor is here, you can't use weapons, you and I will use that willow branch as a sword, how about it?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
The willow branch is in the hand, and the two of them stab out one left and one right, and the movements seem to be integrated, you are the left hand, and I am the right hand. This kind of cooperation requires a very high tacit understanding between the two parties, but fortunately, the two are smarter than ordinary people, and they can not forget and react quickly, so they have not lost their balance.
It's just that, after all, there has been no unified dance step, although the two are dancing together, in fact, you make a move, I learn a move, and I barely take shape.
Qi Muge is really not good at swordsmanship, most of the time Li Mu'er is thinking about movements, as long as she can keep up. Li Mu'er was afraid that she would be difficult to learn, so she deliberately chose some simple but good-looking tricks in the Li family's sword book, and reminded her softly:
"Open side raise", "elbow bend to each other", ......
The two moved neatly and blended well with the drums, and people applauded and were surprised by the tacit understanding of their temporary combination.
But suddenly I heard a "bang", I don't know who slapped the table, so angry!
Li Mu'er and Qi Muge were so frightened that they hurriedly withdrew their hands, their eyes moved, and they saw the Empress Dowager standing in front of the case, stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Mu'er fiercely, and shouted:
"Someone! Take down the female bachelor! (To be continued.) )
