On the throne of the gold lacquer carved phoenix on the left, there is a queen of the mother of the world, the big red mopping robe, embroidered with a lifelike, winged phoenix, lined with a dignified and noble beauty, splashed ink long hair with five phoenixes in a sunrise bun, two temples obliquely inserted peony bead hairpin, the hair end hangs down the phoenix saliva tassel golden step sway, with the beauty every move and shake, the eyebrows between the crimson flower print more charming.
On the next step, on the throne of gold lacquer peony carving on the right, there is a concubine from the first grade, a yellow embroidered peony Bixia Luo, a pink smoke gauze skirt that mops the floor, a soft yarn with Luo Cui in her hand, and a peony flower is inserted obliquely in the wind bun and fog temples, and it is really a bit of a delicate eyebrows, and the green temples are full of the taste of spring smoke.
Below, singing and dancing are leveling, and the sleeves are fluttering; The bell rings the chime, the music is melodious, the sandalwood lit on the pedestal, the smoke is filled, the deep palace, the erosion and drunkenness of the gold fan, the human nature is completely decayed.
The sedan chair of the three princes fell at the door of the main hall, and the night withered grass got off the sedan chair with a little nervousness, and looked at the high ladder, hoping not to meet people who should not be met.
The third prince also got out of the sedan chair, looked at the night withered grass, her body trembling slightly from nervousness, stretched out her arms, and wrapped them around her shoulders.
Night Withered Grass sensitively broke free, moved a step to the right, rolled his eyes at the third prince, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't move your hands and feet, I don't know you very well." ”
"Really? Yesterday someone came to my dormitory, and the bed climbed up, and they didn't know it. The third prince smiled.
Night Withered Grass was so angry that her teeth itched, she glared fiercely, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I'll leave." ”
"Just don't say it." The third prince replied.
After a while, one after another people also walked towards the main hall, and one of the ministers walked over to the third prince, bowed down, and then glanced at the night withered grass, and said, "The third prince brought his family to the state banquet together?" ”
The night withered grass lowered her head violently, and suddenly turned and walked towards the high ladder, dodging the eyes of the ministers.
"I still have something to do, so I'll go to the main hall first." After the third prince finished speaking, he chased up the high ladder and took the hand of the night withered grass.
Night Dry Grass looked up, and the ministers who were walking on the high ladder warned the third prince: "Let go quickly, this will be misunderstood, didn't you see the eyes of those ministers?" ”
"You don't care what others do, just take care of yourself, and you're about to go to the main hall," the third prince reminded.
Night withered grass followed into the main hall, and looked straight to the highest position in the main hall, that is the emperor! looked at the people in this hall strangely, and saw that the eldest brother and father were already seated, and lowered their heads in a panic.
"We're just sitting there." The third prince pointed to a location.
The night withered grass replied hesitantly: "I'll stand!" I'm just a luthier. ”
"If you want to stand, stand still!" The third prince let go of the night withered grass's hand and walked to his seat and sat down.
The withered grass receded into the corner and stood with the other maidservants, evidently of a very different style of clothing, and stood out from the crowd.
At this time, the music stopped, the dancing girls on the pedestal retreated, and the ministers took their seats one after another, just waiting for the emperor to open the golden mouth.
"The state banquet has officially begun, and everyone has a drink." The emperor raised his gin glass and drank it all.
The civil and military officials below also raised their wine glasses and said together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Then he drank it all.
At this time, the sound of the piano sounded, the dancers went up to the pedestal one after another, forming a semicircle, and a woman came up behind her in a crescent-colored gauze dance dress, with clear sleeves like flowing water, the skirt was like fluorescent flying, the slender waist was smart, looking back and smiling, leaning over and dancing, like a fairy under the moon, the skin color of the snow loomed between the flutters, and the small silver bell was embellished on the skirt, looking forward to the ethereal and crisp bell between the turns.
The night withered grass looked up with the sound of the piano, isn't that the eldest sister's night dew? This is the first time I have seen her, but I didn't expect that the dance clothes she picked out were somewhat similar to her own thoughts, and her vision was no less than mine! Silly laughing.
The maidservant next to her glanced at the night withered grass and whispered: "Which palace is she?" It's an eyesore to dress like this and stand with us. ”
Ignoring the discussion of the maidservants, the night withered grass looked up and down the shadow of the white sunflower, why was it not in the main hall, didn't it say that the state banquet was going to be brought to the ministers?
On the pedestal, the dancers turned around the night dew, their waists bent back, their hands swinging their sleeves, and slowly bent out of an arched posture on the stage.
Night Dew kept spinning in the middle, and a peony flower was thrown in the air, stopped turning, raised her right foot, and with the sound of bells, her toes pointed on the peony flower.
The peony flowers instantly turned into petals and fell down one by one, Yelu put down her right foot, spun again, the petals were floated up by the breeze that came out of her body, her body slowly stopped in the middle of the pedestal, bent over, saluted, and hurriedly retreated.
The emperor applauded first and praised: "Good! Good! Dancing skills, come on! The reward was five hundred taels of gold. ”
The ministers below also applauded and said, "Good! The dancing is really wonderful, she deserves to be the daughter of an invincible general! ”
Then the next wave began, and the sound of the piano sounded, but the dancers did not come out, and the ministers looked at each other in confusion.
In the main hall, the queen looked down a little anxiously, why didn't she come, what was Xue Piao doing? Secretly glancing at the emperor's demeanor, he frowned, as if his patience was limited.
The sound of the piano changed, it was played very slowly and lightly, and four guards came out carrying a large round drum, and a person lying on it, holding a lotus lantern in his hand, slowly walked into the middle of the pedestal and put it down.
Then the six dancers held the small round drum with a straight mahogany pole, went up to the pedestal, formed a circle, put down the small round drum in their hands, lined up in unison, and exited the main hall.
Lan Xue Piao's solo dance time began, lying on the drum surface, slowly lifting the lotus lantern with both hands, pointing his feet on the drum surface, arching his waist, leaning his head back, lowering the lotus lantern on his hand, moving it behind his head, the back of his hand is close to the drum surface, his feet are borrowed, his back is arched, his body forms an arc, and he slowly raises his head.
Slightly retract your feet, move to the bottom, your feet behind your waist, kneel on the drum surface, lift your whole body with both hands, lift your head back and lift up, hold the lotus lantern in a half-bent way with your left hand, and hold the lotus lantern high above your head with your right hand.
After kneeling on the drum surface of the knee raised, the feet slowly straightened, until the whole person stood straight, the hands were half-bent and the shoulders were high, holding the lotus lantern to turn, the lotus sleeves on the dance dress were like flowers, while turning while straightening the amplitude of the hand, fully unfolded to speed up the pace of rotation, the bell under the corner of the skirt, jingling with the sound of the drum, throwing out the lotus lantern on the hand, slowly rotating speed down.
