14. Northern Qi Dynasty|Lanling Sword Dance, unattainable

"Of course." King Boling said, "The wine and delicacies of my uncle's house, the prince can enjoy them to his heart's content, and there is no need to be as restrained as in the palace; There are also singers and musicians, and the sound of silk and bamboo, which naturally have to be according to the prince's preferences. Uncle This is a family banquet, not a state banquet in the past, what the prince likes, the uncle naturally has to prepare for the prince one by one. ”

Gao Wei laughed and said, "Then if Lone is still not satisfied, how will Uncle be treated?" ”

King Boling's face turned pale for a moment, but it was not good to attack on the spot, so he said stiffly: "If the prince is still not satisfied, uncle will give up this old face and personally accompany the prince to the wine to cheer up, okay?" "If the prince dares to respond, he has to beat him.

Gao Wei glanced at him, pointed at the king of Lanling and said, "I don't need to sing a beautiful concubine, and I don't need my uncle to give up his old face and pour wine for me." I heard that my cousin is famous in the army, and he is terrified of the enemy army with a gun, so why don't you take advantage of today to let Gu Jian see and understand? ”

King Boling was stunned: "This ......" He looked at King Lanling, not knowing what to do.

Gao Wei continued: "Lone doesn't need his cousin to practice marksmanship here, that would be too unlucky. Since it is to accompany the wine to help the fun, it is better to dance the sword. My cousin is very good at marksmanship, and he thinks that his swordsmanship is also quite superb, and in this beautiful sound of silk and bamboo, it can make people even more excited. After he said that, he slapped his face lightly and said, "Play music!" ”

The musicians and singers outside had already been prepared, and when they heard the summons from inside, they all brought in the piano and flute instruments. But as soon as they entered the door, they were stunned: all the kings and princesses were standing under the hall, and they were not seated, only the crown prince sat on the main seat, squinting at King Lanling, with a sneer of disdain in his eyes.

Cushman & Wakefield said again: "Play music!" ”

The musicians looked at King Boling with trepidation, and when they saw that King Boling nodded slightly, they carefully bypassed the kings, came to sit down behind the curtain, and some rang the chime, some played the piano and played the sheng, and played a Zheng song together. This piece is a well-known and beautiful sound in Yuefu, but because the musicians are trembling, the Zheng song played is also high and low, uneven in rhythm, and there is no glamorous color.

Gao Wei listened for a moment, couldn't help but slap on the desk, and scolded: "I can't even play music, what is the use of you waste?" He strode up to a musician and slapped him hard. The musician was beaten by him and fell to the ground, knocking on the desk, and in an instant the corner of his forehead was bleeding. The surrounding singers were all frightened, shrunk one by one, and didn't even dare to come out.

Gao Wei frowned and said, "Bad luck." So he took the musician down.

Then he walked up to the empty qin, plucked it twice at random, and then nodded his chin again, signaling that he could start.

The King of Lanling stood motionless, without moving, except for a bronze mask glowing faintly green in the candlelight.

Gao Wei glanced at King Lanling again, looked left and right and said with a smile: "I heard that my cousin has a slender posture and a beautiful voice, but why should he hide it under a mask?" Quickly remove the mask, remove the wide robe and sleeves, and dance a sword in the hall, so that I can wait and see. ”

When he said this, he was actually teasing King Lanling as a trick.

The kings and princesses in the hall were stunned, looking at each other one by one, even King Boling forgot to be angry, his eyes glanced at him, and he turned around twice on King Lanling, his expression was angry and gloating, and his whole face seemed to be distorted.

King Lanling slowly raised his hand and pressed the saber at his waist.

He was wearing a bronze mask, and his expression could not be seen clearly, and he could only faintly feel the gloomy gaze.

Gao Wei laughed and said, "Okay, good." He leaned against the pillar and did not move, as if he were admiring the sword dance.

"Y-how can he be ...... like this," Princess Boling muttered, "this is humiliating King Lanling." ”

King Boling glanced sideways, and Princess Boling lowered her head, and said no more.

Cushman & Wakefield was still laughing. What kind of powerful Lanling King of the three armies, and the terrified general of the current dynasty of the enemy army, still don't want to obediently stand under the hall and dance the sword to him? As for whether the teasing words just now would make a general feel cold, he hadn't thought about it at all.

King Lanling closed his eyes and drew his sword an inch.

King Boling and King Feng Yi exchanged a look, and they both saw the meaning of schadenfreude in each other's eyes.

King Feng Yi whispered: "That's the real saber." ”

King Boling also lowered his voice: "Yes, if you 'accidentally' hurt the crown prince......"

King Feng Yi shook his head and said, "Brother is serious, Changgong has always been cautious and cautious. ”

King Boling glanced at him: "Stupid." ”

King Feng Yi looked stunned: "??? ”

King Boling sneered: "The prince said that he is a thorn, and if he doesn't stab, he will be thorny." ”

King Feng Yi came to his senses and muttered, "It turned out to be just a thought of the prince......

King Boling glanced at him again and said no more.

King Feng Yi shook his head and stopped talking.

The surrounding kings and princesses got up and sat down in twos and threes, and the musicians and singers also began to play again. Gao Wei ordered five Zheng songs one after another, one softer than the other, one more beautiful than the other, and then looked at the king of Lanling obliquely, as if mocking, lonely to see, in this kind of soft and beautiful Zheng song, how do you dance the sword, so as not to damage the prestige of your Lanling King.

In peacetime, in the army, sword dancing will occasionally be done, but what the musician plays has always been a sonorous war music, and no one has ever dared to play Zheng Song when the general dances the sword. It's a naked/naked, downright teasing and humiliation.

King Lanling clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and his fingers were faintly white.

Gao Wei pointed to the bronze mask on his face and said, "Why haven't you taken it off yet?" It just so happened that the cousins were all present, so it was just right for everyone to see if the cousin, the rumored king of Lanling, who had a beautiful voice and appearance, could compare to the beauty of the surrounding singers? Ha, haha. ”

King Lanling closed his eyes, slowly raised his hand, and stroked his mask.

Suddenly, someone gently tugged on his sleeve, clapped his hands and giggled: "Are you the crown prince?" ”

King Lanling froze, turned his head slightly, and saw that the princess who saw him had already broken away from the two stout maids beside him at some point, and walked towards the prince with a smile. A luxurious princess dress was worn on her, which was slightly out of harmony, but it couldn't hide her beautiful timbre.

He saw his princess walking to the front of the hall and looking up at the prince slightly, looking innocent and stupid.

A subtle, sharp pain spread through the bottom of his heart, blunt, grinding him painfully.

He knew that his princess was not born stupid, and he knew why she did it.

But that's why I feel the pain.

A dull, unstoppable pain.

King Lanling took two steps forward, trying to hold his princess. But this move fell in the eyes of others, but it became even more proof of the princess's stupidity. King Boling and King Feng Yi held him down left and right, and he watched his princess and walked up to the prince.

His princess tilted her head to look at the crown prince and grinned, "I don't recognize you." ”

Cushman & Wakefield was stunned by this sudden change. He looked left and right, waved his hand, and said, "Where did the crazy woman come from, why don't you drag her down quickly, do you want to let Gu do it himself?" He looked shocked and angry.

Yun Yao was secretly speechless in her heart, but she still clapped her hands and smiled: "Are you the prince?" ”

Cushman & Wakefield was enraged by her and kicked her over. Yun Yao narrowly avoided him, and deliberately pretended to be stupid, and grinned: "I have never met the prince yet." Everyone says that the crown prince is the future emperor, a wise and virtuous monarch, right? ”

After saying that, he turned his head, and he really looked like a complete fool.

Gao Wei continued to shoot the case, and said angrily: "Someone, someone!" Drag her down and behead her, see if she dares to be so rude! ”

The surrounding slaves surrounded her, but they were all hindered by the identity of the princess, and they didn't dare to make too much of it, Yun Yao skillfully avoided the two slaves, and said some strange crazy things, which made Gao Wei shocked and angry, and wanted to kill her with a sword. Suddenly, King Nanyang attached himself to Gao Wei's ear and whispered two words. Gao Wei was stunned for a moment, then his expression twitched, and he couldn't stop laughing wildly, and the angry expression just now all turned into a gloating surprise: "This, is this the Princess of Lanling?" Lonely sister-in-law? ”

Yun Yao was still grinning, tilted her head to look at Gao Wei, and asked stupidly, "Are you the crown prince?" ”

Gao Wei laughed wildly: "Yes, yes, Lone is the prince, Lone is the prince of Daqi." After that, he walked up and down in front of Yun Yao, looked up and down, and looked around carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this sister-in-law was pleasing to the eye, as if the crazy and stupid words just now were just to cheer him up and make him happy, so he deliberately played fun. Yun Yao generously let him look at it, completely without the fear and avoidance of ordinary women.

- Look, look, it's better to forget all about what just happened.

Yun Yao slandered on the one hand, tilted her head to look at Gao Wei, and said two more crazy and stupid words. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Lanling King under the hall, who was pressed by two people, one left and one right, and his right hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were full of pain and darkness.

- Come back. King Lanling said silently.

Yun Yao looked away and focused on coaxing the Great Qi Prince in front of her. Just now, King Boling and King Feng Yi said that she could hear them clearly. If this prince disagrees with each other, stirs up nonsense, and reverses right and wrong, and the king of Lanling is guilty of assassination, it will be very bad.

And she was reluctant to let King Lanling remove his clothes and dance his sword, and she was unwilling to let him suffer such humiliation.

Gao Wei circled around Yun Yao several times, until he had looked her up and down enough, and then stepped forward with a smile, patted King Lanling on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Cousin Yanfu is not shallow." A gloating expression.

Everyone in the room knew that Cushman was talking the opposite, so they didn't turn their heads away, and their shoulders twitched again and again.

King Lanling clenched the corner of the case tightly and returned the sword little by little. After Yun Yao's interruption, he naturally didn't have to dance the sword anymore, because Gao Wei had found new fun and was circling around his princess. The surrounding musicians played the beautiful Zheng song, and everyone was fascinated by the sound of silk and bamboo strings, and no one noticed his abnormality anymore.

The dancers danced in the middle of the room, their red skirts dragging on the ground, stinging his eyes.

The liquid of the elixir liquor glows slightly in the golden bottle, and the bright red color makes people appetite greatly, and a little sip will intoxicate the wine. King Lanling stiffened, and was pressed between the banquet by King Boling and King Feng Yi, his eyes dark and sad.
